Chapter 1034 You Are Not Allowed to Touch Her
Yu Jiu ordered his men to open the prison door and drag a disheveled man out of the cell.
The man was wearing dirty coarse cloth, his messy hair was spread out, covering most of his face, his chin was covered with a beard, and his hands and feet were chained.
As he was dragged out, the chains collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
The sleeves slid down, revealing skinny wrists. The nails had not been trimmed for a long time and there was black dirt in the gaps between the nails.
No one could have imagined that this seemingly miserable prisoner was actually Jian Shujie, the county magistrate who was in charge of the entire Lu'an County.
Jian Shujie had probably been locked up for too long, so his reactions were a little slow.
Yu Jiu called him twice in succession, and he realized belatedly that the other party was calling him.
Jian Shujie raised his head slightly, his hair parted to the sides, revealing a pair of confused eyes.
Yu Jiu stared into his eyes and spoke word by word.
"I'll take you out later, but you have to listen to my instructions.
You do whatever I tell you to do.
If I don't give you instructions, you can't say a word more.
If you dare to mess around, your wife will be dead."
When he heard the word "Madam", Jian Shujie's pupils moved slightly.
He opened his cracked lips and made a hoarse sound.
"I want to see my wife."
Yu Jiu: "Once this matter is resolved, I will consider letting you meet your wife."
Jian Shujie: "I want to see her now."
Yu Jiu took a step forward and approached him, his deep voice revealing a strong sense of danger.
"You are not in a position to bargain with me."
Jian Shujie suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Yu Jiu by the collar.
At this time, Yu Jiu still maintained the appearance of the county magistrate's wife. His appearance was exactly the same as Jian Shujie's wife, but Jian Shujie not only did not feel nostalgic, but all he had in his heart was overwhelming hatred.
"I want to see her now! Now!"
Old Wu quickly ran over and pulled Jian Shujie away.
After being imprisoned for many days, Jian Shujie has become extremely thin. He is not as tall as he used to be, and his strength has also decreased a lot.
Old Wu pried his hands open without much effort.
Then Yu Jiu reached out and grabbed Jian Shujie's neck.
He is now a bit shorter than Jian Shujie, but he used his great strength to lift Jian Shujie up.
Jian Shujie's feet were off the ground, he was having difficulty breathing, and his face gradually turned purple.
Yu Jiu stared at him with a gloomy look: "If I were to kill you now, it would be no different from killing an ant. Do you think an ant is qualified to negotiate with me?"
Jian Shujie struggled desperately, but he couldn't pry open the hand that was pinching his neck.
Just when he was about to pass out from suffocation, Fang Wujiu in the next cell spoke slowly.
“Kill him quickly.
As long as he dies, there will be no one to resolve the predicament you are in.
By then, the officials of all ranks in the city will force you to give an explanation.
You are unable to deal with it, so you can only hide in the county magistrate's mansion and dare not go out.
Once the imperial court receives the news and sends people to investigate the situation, your Tianmen’s arrangements in Fufeng City will be completely exposed.
We might be able to take advantage of this opportunity to escape.”
Old Wu next to him was trying his best to dissuade him: "Mr. Jiu, please calm down. Killing Jian Shujie at this time will do us more harm than good. If things get out of hand, we won't be able to explain to the Sect Master!"
Yu Jiu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to keep himself calm.
Jian Shujie cannot die yet, at least not at this time.
Yu Jiu slowly loosened his fingers.
Jian Shujie couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground in a mess.
He was like an old dog, with his hands on the ground, gasping for breath, his chest heaving violently, and a whirring sound like a broken bellows coming from his throat.
After a long while he spoke hoarsely.
"I won't go with you if I don't see my wife."
Yu Jiu raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a mocking smile.
"How about this, if you delay here for another half an hour, I will have someone chop off one of your wife's fingers.
Your wife has ten fingers, which can delay you for five hours in total.
If you still refuse to leave after five hours, we will cure your wife of the flesh she has been cut off from.
Although your wife is very thin now and has little flesh on her body, if you look carefully, you should still be able to cut off a few pounds of meat..."
Jian Shujie suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red and his face was ferocious, and he roared hoarsely.
"Don't touch her!!"
Yu Jiu looked down at him condescendingly and said coldly.
"You only have two choices now. Either you listen to us and I will consider letting you and your wife meet after the matter is settled.
Or you can just stay here and wait for us to send your wife's finger to you.
You choose. "
Jian Shujie stared at him intently, the hatred in his eyes almost tangible.
Yu Jiu didn't dodge or evade, just looked at him quietly.
In the end, Jian Shujie was defeated.
"I can do as you say, but you have to ensure my wife's safety."
Yu Jiu smiled happily: "Of course."
Jian Shujie was taken away just like that.
Yu Jiu and Lao Wu also left, and the death row returned to peace.
Fang Wujiu asked Wen Jiucheng who was in the cell opposite.
"How are you?"
Wen Jiucheng leaned against the wall, frowned and took a breath.
"Hiss! I feel like my ribs are broken. Yu Jiu was really ruthless."
Fang Wujiu warned, "Stay here and don't move. Don't touch the wound, lest your ribs poke your internal organs. We will be able to get out in one day at most. I will heal your wound later."
Wen Jiucheng endured the pain and responded, "Yeah."
…
All the beard on Jian Shujie's face was shaved off, his hair was neatly combed, and he was washed clean.
He put on a luxurious and solemn brocade robe and a black jade hair crown. He regained his former elegance, but he was much thinner than before and his face looked a little pale.
He looked at himself in the dressing mirror and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
It was as if all the imprisonment and coercion for so long were just a nightmare.
Now that the dream is over, everything has returned to normal.
Jian Shujie's pupils moved and he looked at the lady standing next to him. She still looked the same as before, with a gentle smile on her face.
He stared at her blankly, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
This person is not his wife.
She's just a fake.
The trance in Jian Shujie's eyes completely faded away, leaving only deep indifference and fear.
Yu Jiu took in all the changes in his expression, curled his lips and chuckled, then took the initiative to step forward and help him straighten his collar, his movements very gently.
"Remember what I told you before. If you want your wife to be safe, don't try to challenge our bottom line."
Jian Shujie had a gloomy face and said coldly, "I hope you keep your word."
