Chapter 215 Rescued by Luo Xiao
After leaving Prince Huai's Mansion, Zhu Mingqing's usually gentle expression became very serious.
"Ride as fast as you can and return to Guancheng immediately," she ordered.
Lao Fan knew the seriousness of the situation, so he picked up the rope with both hands and shouted, "Go!"
The horses galloped quickly, but the carriage remained stable.
…
The prison of Guancheng government office.
Luo Xiao was tied up with iron chains, his head drooped and his hands hung down limply.
Suddenly, a basin of water was splashed on my face.
The whole person woke up.
"Sir." The jailer moved behind Magistrate Liu, "Our subordinates have been torturing him all night and have not yet obtained any results."
Luo Xiao tried hard to open his eyes a little, and when he saw the person coming, his heart sank slightly.
It was indeed done by the Xu family.
"Mr. Luo San, the truth has been investigated. The food in Huaxiang Building was not cleaned properly, which led to the death of a citizen from poisoning. Another person is now lying in the clinic."
"I advise you to confess as soon as possible in order to suffer less!"
Luo Xiao's mouth was dry and bleeding, his face was pale, and he sneered: "Bah! Dog official!"
Prefect Liu was displeased, but his face looked helpless: "You are so rude after murdering someone. You don't know how high the heavens are!"
After saying that, he gave the jailer a look and sat aside to rest.
Luo Xiao gritted his teeth as the bull whip soaked in salt water hit his body, saying nothing, his eyes as murderous as a hungry wolf.
Magistrate Liu was so scared by this brat that he got goosebumps all over his body.
But he soon realized that it was just a dying struggle!
If you want to blame someone, blame you for blocking the Xu family and my financial path!
"stop!"
After resting enough, Magistrate Liu asked someone to bring a piece of paper and threw it to the jailer: "Sign and seal it. I want to see the result before dark!"
The jailer nodded quickly: "I understand!"
After Magistrate Liu left, the jailer threw the whip on the table and ran to rest nearby.
"Why don't you beat him anymore? Your Excellency wants to see the result." asked another jailer.
The man snorted and laughed: "Rest for now. Just deliver the signed confession before dark!"
"I think this guy is a tough one, not easy to deal with!"
"Idiot, signing your name isn't that hard!" The man glanced at the half-dead young man and sighed, "You've offended the prefect, and you still expect to leave prison alive? You're dreaming!"
Another jailer suddenly asked curiously, "Did Hua Xianglou really kill that man?"
"Haha, wanna know?!"
"Yeah!" Another jailer nodded repeatedly.
"Why don't you go down and ask him?!" The jailer who beat him glanced at him.
"You!" another jailer said angrily.
"I advise you to stay out of the adults' business!"
Listening to the conversation here, Luo Xiao was also very scared in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.
No matter what, we can't lose face for the Luo family!
The Xu family is in collusion with Magistrate Liu, so my eldest brother can no longer be relied upon, my second brother is far away in Jizhou, and my mother is not at home either.
Grandfather's side...
Luo Xiao felt heavy in his heart and hoped that his grandfather could rescue him!
"That's enough, come and help!" The jailer who beat the man patted his sore arm. He said to the other jailer, "Hold him down!"
Due to excessive blood loss, Luo Xiao was already feeling dizzy.
But when I heard this, my heart skipped a beat!
My arm was held tightly by someone and I couldn't move!
Be tough!
Luo Xiao clenched his fists tightly, his voice hoarse: "You dare?!"
"Boy, if you have offended the heaven of Guancheng, you should honestly confess your sins. Otherwise, you will have to suffer physical pain. Why bother?"
After saying this, the jailer increased his strength and forcibly pried open the fingers.
Another jailer quickly brought ink and a confession.
Luo Xiao clenched his teeth, veins bulged on his hands, and the whip marks on his chest were bleeding from the excessive force he exerted himself, adding to the strong fishy smell of his clothes that had already been stained red.
"Hurry up, hold it steady!" The jailer held Luo Xiao's little index finger tightly and moved closer to the confession!
Bang!
The cell door was kicked open!
The two jailers turned around and immediately knelt on the ground.
Luo Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, and opened his sweaty eyes a little to look over. Mr. He?!
"Sir!" the jailer said in panic, "The cell is dark and damp, why would you come here?"
He Shu strode forward and kicked each of them against the wall.
He sternly said, "If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have known how you dared to force a confession and fabricate testimony!"
"Please spare my life, sir. I was confused for a moment and will never do it again!"
The jailer knelt down and kowtowed.
He Shu ignored them completely and ordered his men to remove the chains from Luo Xiao, then carefully lifted him onto a stretcher and prepared to take him away.
"Sir, you can't do that. This is the murderer that Magistrate Liu personally arrested!" The jailer knelt down and stepped forward to carefully stop him.
He Shu kicked again with such force that the man was knocked unconscious.
His face was covered with flesh, and he looked at the sober jailer with a fierce look in his eyes: "I'm telling you, Magistrate Liu, this man is innocent. I've taken him away. If you want to find the murderer, tell him to go directly to the Xu family!"
Hearing this, the jailer almost fainted!
When adults fight, villains suffer!
How could I say this out loud? Moreover, Lord He actually came in person to pick someone up. This is really terrible!
The jailer was held down by the personal guards brought by He Shu and could only watch him take the person away.
After hearing no news of the figure, he immediately stood up, almost fell in panic, and staggered towards Magistrate Liu's room.
"He Shu!"
The angry roar of Prefect Liu overflowed from the room, and the minor officials coming and going all moved away, not daring to make any noise.
"Get out!" Prefect Liu kicked him again in anger, "Useless thing!"
He was taken away without even getting a confession letter.
After being kicked repeatedly throughout the day, the jailer felt like he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, but he didn't dare to dirty the adults' room, so he had to swallow it back.
As soon as he walked out of Magistrate Liu's yard, he could no longer hold back.
With a "wow" sound, blood spurted onto the ground.
Seeing this, the officer who had been monitoring the situation here immediately ran to the yard in the distance.
In less than an hour, news began to spread in the city that "Prefect Liu beat innocent people and killed the head of Huaxiang Tower."
When Magistrate Liu learned the news, he suddenly stood up, his eyes went dark, and he fainted.
"grown ups!"
"Come here, the prefect has fainted, please call a doctor!"
After He Shu took Luo Xiao out of the government office, he put him in a spacious carriage. There was a doctor in the carriage who had already started giving him medicine.
After circling the city walls a few times and getting rid of the people behind them, the carriage slowly stopped at a house.
He Shu glanced at the unconscious Luo Xiao, feeling both pity and regret, but when he thought of something, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
He got off the carriage and looked at the man standing at the back door. The corners of his mouth inadvertently rose, and a hint of softness appeared on his rough face.
"Master He, I'm really sorry to trouble you today!"
