Chapter 1036 Incident
Jian Shujie felt that Fang Wujiu was talking nonsense.
He even lost his temper, which was rare for him, and was unwilling to have any more communication with Fang Wujiu.
Fang Wujiu was not affected at all and continued talking to himself.
“Although I have never met the real wife of the county magistrate, judging by how much you care about your wife, the relationship between you and your wife must be very deep.
If I'm not mistaken, your wife must have been in a very low mood the two times she came to see you.
She must have been thinking at that time -
Her husband was once so glorious, but now he is forced to become a prisoner, and all of this is caused by her. She is the one who dragged you down..."
A muffled sound came from the cell next door, like the sound of a fist hitting the wall.
This was followed by Jian Shujie's hoarse growl.
"Shut up! Stop talking!"
Fang Wujiu ignored his protest and continued speaking.
"She loves you so much, even more than you love him. She doesn't want you to be implicated, and doesn't want to see you lose your freedom and dignity and become a pitiful creature played around by others.
Anyway, your children have grown up, and even if they don’t have her as a mother, it won’t have much impact on their lives.
Her existence is meaningless except to burden you."
There was an even more violent pounding sound coming from the wall. The sound was so frightening that it seemed as if Jian Shujie's hand bones were about to be broken.
Jian Shujie screamed in pain: "You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense! She is not a burden to me! She is my first wife, the woman I swore to be with for the rest of my life!"
Fang Wujiu: "Yes, she is your first wife, so she doesn't want to see you continue to be trapped in this dark cell. She would rather choose to end her own life than let you continue to be controlled by others."
Jian Shujie roared: "These are all your conjectures. You have no evidence at all. You are just talking nonsense!"
Fang Wujiu: "I really don't have any evidence, but I have a way to let you know whether your wife is still alive."
The cell next door suddenly became quiet.
It took a long time before Jian Shujie's hoarse voice was heard.
"What method?"
If you listen carefully, you can hear the voice trembling slightly.
It's like he's trying hard to suppress some emotion.
Fang Wujiu: "There may be unrest in the city soon, and you will need to step in to settle it. You can take that opportunity to ask Yu Jiu to agree to let you meet your wife. At that critical moment, Yu Jiu will most likely agree to this request in order to strengthen his control over you and reduce unnecessary risks."
Jian Shujie did not ask him how he knew that unrest would break out, but instead asked the question that concerned him most.
"What if he disagrees?"
Fang Wujiu: "That only means that your wife is probably no longer around."
This simple sentence was like a shackle, tightly clamping Jian Shujie's neck, making it a little difficult for him to breathe.
The cell fell into deathly silence again.
…
Fang Wujiu's narration stopped here.
When he first learned that the county magistrate's wife was Yu Jiu in disguise, he found it a bit strange. Yu Jiu spent so much effort pretending to be the county magistrate's wife, but ended up hiding in the west courtyard all day and not seeing outsiders. It was really a waste of talent.
It was not until he communicated with Jian Shujie that he guessed the reason.
The reason why Yu Jiu hid in the west courtyard and didn't go out was because the real county magistrate's wife was no longer there.
He lost the object to refer to and imitate, and the difficulty of acting increased. If he rashly appeared in public, he would probably reveal his flaws and easily arouse suspicion from others.
To be on the safe side, he could only live in the west courtyard under the pretext of recuperating and try to reduce contact with the outside world.
Wen Jiucheng sighed softly: "I think Jian Shujie must have understood the truth now."
A very cruel truth.
In order to protect his first wife, Jian Shujie was willing to give up his fame, wealth, identity and freedom and become a humble prisoner.
Little did he know that his first wife had already ended her own life in order to free him.
Now that he finally knew the truth, all his previous forbearance and concessions had become aiding and abetting the evil.
…
In front of the gate of the county magistrate's mansion.
When the officials learned that the county magistrate was safe and sound, they felt relieved.
They said goodbye and left.
Unexpectedly, the county magistrate suddenly called out a person's name.
"Ding Chunhui, come here for a moment."
Ding Chunhui is a burly military commander. Judging from his attire, he holds a high official position.
When he saw the county magistrate calling him over, he didn't think much and immediately strode over with a knife slung over his shoulder.
"What do you want, Lord County Magistrate?"
Jian Shujie waved at him: "Come closer, I have something to tell you."
The two guards standing behind him became alert and wanted to stop him, but they couldn't do anything in front of so many people. They could only cough to remind Jian Shujie not to act rashly.
However, Jian Shujie ignored the reminders from the two guards behind him.
When Ding Chunhui walked up to him, Jian Shujie suddenly pulled out the sword from Ding Chunhui's waist!
The blade drew a sharp arc in the air.
The next moment, it slashed hard at the waist of the guard behind it!
Jian Shujie used all his strength in this strike, and since this was a rare good sword, the blade was sharper than ordinary weapons.
It actually embedded itself into the guard's body, almost cutting him in half!
The guard was killed instantly.
Another guard was covered in blood, but he did not pause at all. He quickly drew his sword and stabbed towards Jian Shujie, intending to catch Jian Shujie on the spot!
At this time, Jian Shujie's hand was still on the handle of the knife. The blade was sunk too deep and stuck in the bone. He pulled it out but couldn't.
Seeing the tip of the sword stabbing towards him, it was too late for Jian Shujie to dodge.
At this critical moment, a short knife stretched out from the side and blocked Jian Shujie.
The person holding the dagger is Ding Chunhui.
Don't be fooled by his big and strong appearance and seeming careless, he is actually a very cautious person.
He always carried two knives when he went out, a long knife hanging on his waist and a short knife hidden in his sleeve, just in case.
Not many people know about his habit, and Jian Shujie is one of them.
It was precisely because he knew that Ding Chunhui had such a habit that Jian Shujie deliberately chose to borrow his sword.
The tip of the sword collided with the dagger, making a crisp sound!
Jian Shujie took the opportunity to loosen the hilt of the knife, stepped back quickly, and put some distance between himself and the sword-wielding guard.
This sudden change happened so quickly that most of the people present were shocked.
Until Ding Chunhui shouted: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and protect the county magistrate!"
Everyone then woke up as if from a dream and started to move.
The civil officials knew they could not help, so in order to avoid being a hindrance, they consciously stepped aside to make way for the military generals.
The generals drew their swords and rushed towards the guard aggressively.
Two fists are no match for four hands. Even if the guard is a master, he cannot withstand the siege of so many people.
He was soon defeated and blood splattered on the spot.
The onlookers had already turned pale with fear and kept screaming in terror.
…
Good morning everyone!
