Chapter 21 I was scared to death
Luo Ming's face was very bad. He looked at the other person coldly and said, "If she doesn't die, then I will be the one to die!"
"Lord Luo, I know you're anxious. But I think she probably doesn't know. Otherwise, what woman could endure such punishment without speaking?"
"If she really doesn't know, then even if you force her to death, it's useless. If that's the case, not only will your efforts be in vain, but your official reputation will also be ruined. What do you think?"
"But I can't get the answer, and I can't report to the emperor." Luo Ming frowned. He was actually a little shaken.
Before, because Yue Fuli asked the jailer to buy things, he thought she might know the whereabouts of those things. But now, seeing how she was holding on, he began to wonder if he was mistaken.
Such torture was unbearable for a little girl, not to mention a grown man like him, and he would have confessed long ago.
But looking at Yue Fuli, she has been refusing to say anything. It is very likely that she doesn't know.
Thinking of this, he decided to let her go for the time being. However, when he thought of the Yue family's missing property, he was unwilling to give up, so he decided to find someone else to try the case.
Since the first wife couldn't find anything, then the second wife would be the next. It was obvious that the second wife wasn't as tough as the first wife, so there might be a surprise.
The second wife had no idea that she was about to suffer a disaster. She was looking at the children who were crying "Grandma" with a look of sympathy on her face.
They felt the eldest wife's family was doomed. One of the two adults was seriously ill, and the other had been tortured and was still unsure whether he was alive or dead. Leaving the children behind, even if they could make it out of the prison alive, they might not survive the exile.
It was over 3,000 miles from the capital to Qianzhou, and the journey alone would take several months. Who knew what might happen during that time? Even adults might not make it to the destination alive, let alone children?
There was a sound of footsteps. The children in the first room didn't hear it, but the children in the second room did. So they looked in the direction of the cell.
The women in the main house couldn't help but cry out in surprise when they saw Yue Fuli being dragged by two yamen runners. Her white undergarment was covered in blood, a shocking sight.
The strong smell of blood rushed into Yue Lingxue's nose, and she vomited it out immediately.
Her face was as pale as paper, and it was unclear whether she was vomiting or scared.
The children who were crying beside the old lady heard the noise and turned around. When they saw the yamen runners dragging in a bloody man, they were all stunned.
The yamen runner threw Yue Fuli into the cell and walked out. He then walked to the cell opposite where several men from the second room were imprisoned and shouted, "Who is Yue Zhenhe? Come with us."
When Yue Zhenhe heard this, his legs went weak.
He had seen what Yue Fuli had done just now. He was so scared that he lay sprawled on the ground, unable to get up.
The yamen runners stepped forward, grabbed the man, and took him away.
Because he was too scared, Yue Zhenhe peed his pants and his feet were dripping.
The yamen runner looked at it, speechless. Thinking about Yue Fuli, and then looking at the one in front of him, it was really a case of comparing goods and throwing them away.
They wanted to throw it away, but Lord Luo was still waiting. They could only drag the person forward with a look of disgust on their face.
When Mrs. Wu saw her husband being taken away, her face turned pale with fear. She grabbed her daughter's hand and shrank into a corner, as if she would be seen by others.
As for whether Yue Fuli was dead or alive, she no longer cared. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, which was to not let her be tortured.
