Chapter 222: Wrongful Imprisonment
Tu Shan Hou raised his hand: "I was wondering why they gave me the news so suddenly and asked me to take action. It turns out that they kept me as a backup. You don't have to persuade me. After finally taking him down, I will not hand him over to them. He is my own brother, of course I have to do it myself. Okay, okay, it hurts."
Chang Bao paused, and then said, "Then, when I go back and report, I'll tell you that the eldest young master won't let the second young master get away."
Tushan Hou nodded: "Okay. I will be the future head of the Tushan family, and they have to think carefully about what I say."
Changbao looked at me and asked, "What about her...?"
"She keeps it, and I have a use for it."
After hearing this, Changbao said nothing more, just bowed respectfully and left.
The masked man carried the wooden box containing Tu Shanjing and disappeared outside the backyard wall after a few jumps.
Tushan Hou took out a rope and tied my hands and feet, then raised his hand and swung out a ray of light.
I moved my fingers and found that I couldn't use my spiritual power, but I could move, so I thought I could speak, so I said, "Young Master, please let the Second Young Master go. I will help you with anything you want. Money, Fang Feng Yiying, and--"
When he heard Fangfeng Yiying's name, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, then his face turned gloomy again. He came close to me and said with gritted teeth: "You are well-informed! But it still fell into my hands? You can't give me what I want, and you don't want to give it to me. I want to see him suffer physically and mentally, and burn his heart. From then on, he will no longer be noble and humble, but will stay in the dark like a dog with its tail pulled out, licking its wounds and not daring to come out! Don't waste your breath, just be obedient, and I can still let you live."
I still didn't give up and tried to persuade him again, but he frowned and muttered "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished by the wine", and raised his hand impatiently and shot out a ray of light, so I was speechless again.
He tied me aside and asked someone to call the two guards at the door in. The guards didn't understand what was going on, but when they saw me tied up, they became panicked.
Tu Shan Hou looked at them with disdain and asked, "While you two were guarding the gate, who did you see?"
The taller one answered cautiously: "To answer the young master, there are Changbao, Xiaohui, the second young master, and--"
Before he could finish, a flash of light passed through his mind, and a stream of blood spurted out of his throat. His throat made a hoarse sound, and he fell straight back.
The other one, who was shorter, was so frightened that he was shaking like a sieve and fell to his knees as if he had no bones.
Tu Shan Hou looked at him and said, "What about you? Who did you see coming?"
He trembled and replied: "Reply, reply to the young master's words, I, please forgive my poor eyesight, I didn't see anything."
Tu Shan Hou smiled and said, "Okay, your eyes are pretty good! Go down, be careful with your throat. If you don't want it anymore, talk more while you still can."
He had just escaped death after a near-death experience, so he didn't dare say anything more. He kowtowed and bowed before running away in a hurry.
Tushan Hou called Guangcan and ordered him to clean the ground. He then pulled me all the way to the gate of the Lady's Courtyard.
The guards saw this from afar and had already gone in to report. So when we got to the door, Xiaoyu stepped out and asked in surprise, "Young Master, what happened? Did Miss Lanxiang do something wrong?"
Tu Shanhou raised her head and said to her: "I want to see grandma, go in and inform her for me."
Xiaoyu did not dare to delay and invited us to the courtyard, saying, "Madam Tai and Aunt Zhao are talking inside. I will go and invite them right away. Please wait for a moment, young master."
Tu Shanhou glanced at her and said, "Hurry up."
She rushed into the inner room like a gust of wind. Soon, Nanfeng came out supporting the lady, and Qingyue followed Aunt Zhao.
The lady asked from a distance, "Hou, what's wrong? Why did you bring her here? Where's Jing?"
Tu Shan Hou pushed me to the ground and raised his hand to salute: "Grandma, something terrible has happened! My second brother was kidnapped by that bitch!"
After hearing this, the lady almost fell backwards, and was hugged by Xiaoyu, Nanfeng and a group of maids behind her. Some of them breathed in comfort, some held her hands.
The lady looked at me with a frown, pointed at me with a finger like a dry branch, and asked tremblingly: "What's going on?!"
I couldn't speak, so I couldn't answer her. So Tu Shan Hou took over, "My second brother went to Jiye Restaurant to negotiate with her cousin who had arranged for her to be married since birth, but he didn't expect that he fell into their trap and was kidnapped. Ruofeng was killed and You was seriously injured. Fortunately, I was nearby and saw Jiye Restaurant on fire. I went to check and caught the bitch who was cleaning up the mess. It's a pity for my second brother... I couldn't find out where he was. I guess he was taken away by his cousin. This is a serious matter. I quickly captured her and let grandma make the decision."
After hearing this, the lady's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and she sighed repeatedly: "I knew she was a disaster! If I had known this, I shouldn't have kept her! Come on, get some people to chase Jing from all directions starting from Jiye Building, and get Jing back at all costs! Also, go and arrest everyone in Jing's yard, I want to interrogate them one by one with Butler Hu!"
Aunt Zhao covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looking shocked, but still said, "Madam, this is of great importance. Let's ask this girl what she has to say first."
Madam Tai glanced at her and said, "You are not in a hurry if he is not your grandson! You can't even force her to tell the truth, do you think she will confess right away in front of me? She must be stalling for time here so that her accomplices can move Jing away."
Aunt Zhao shut up, looking as if she dared not say anything more.
I thought back to the empty back door when I returned home, and I sighed inwardly, Tushan Hou had already eliminated the witnesses by making the first move. I shook my head and sobbed, hoping that the lady would notice my abnormality.
Unfortunately, she looked at me with hatred, then waved her hand and said to Xiaoyu, "Hurry up and drag her away and lock her up! I'm going to faint from anger if I see her! Nanfeng, go call Butler Hu back and send a few more strong servants. I don't believe we can't pry their mouths open! If anything happens to Jing, everyone in this room will be buried with him!"
Xiaoyu raised her head towards me, and I grabbed the corner of her clothes and refused to leave, so she knocked me unconscious with a knife.
When I woke up again, I was in a dark and cold room. There was an unpleasant smell of mold and blood all around. It was chilling to the bone even in the middle of summer.
My hands and feet were shackled with heavy shackles. I tried to stand up and see if the light coming from the corner was the sunlight outside or the candlelight in the room. I didn't know what time it was. The lady was trying to find Tu Shanjing from all directions from the wrong starting point.
I heard the clanking of shackles from next door, and a pair of hands stained with dried blood grabbed the railing. Then a pair of eyes lit up from the darkness, which scared me.
