Chapter 366 He jumped! ?
Ning Dongling looked at the wine cup handed to him, digging his nails deep into his palm as if he didn't feel any pain.
He knew that this wine must not be drunk!
Once he drinks it...his life will be completely over!
"Sir," Ning Dongling slowly raised his head and spoke in a dry voice, "The Imperial Music Bureau has a clear order that unless the emperor orders otherwise, court entertainers have the right to refuse to drink at any time."
Ning Dongling's heart was beating like a drum, and he tried to make a final struggle.
Lord Tian's expression instantly darkened, and he slammed his wine glass down on the table. "Rules are dead, but people are alive! In my place, my words are the rules!"
He snorted coldly, his eyes full of contempt, "A mere courtesan... What? I can't even offer you a glass of wine?"
Upon seeing this, Cao Sili immediately frowned and scolded, "Ning Dongling! Don't be ungrateful! The fact that Lord Tian appreciates you is a blessing you've earned through several lifetimes! Why don't you continue!"
Ning Dongling was almost suffocated by the atmosphere in the room, and he felt more and more powerless!
He looked at the glass of wine that was obviously the wrong color, and then glanced at the disgusting faces of Lord Tian and Lieutenant Cao, who were determined to win. A strong urge to vomit rushed into his throat.
He involuntarily stepped back and accidentally knocked over the flower stand behind him, making a loud "clang" sound.
"We agreed to come here just to play the piano... I will never drink this wine!" His back was straight, his voice trembling with fear, but his eyes were burning with determination to burn his boats.
"Master Tian, Master Cao...you, you must stop forcing me!"
"Although I, Ning Dongling, am a lowly person, I receive a salary from the imperial court and am protected by the laws of Daliang just like any other common people!"
"The current emperor is wise and virtuous, and Her Highness the Crown Princess is extremely righteous and possesses the ability to discern the subtleties of yin and yang... How is your vicious and despicable behavior any different from forcibly abducting women and forcing them into prostitution?!"
"If you push me to the limit, we'll both die!"
"If I'm still alive, I'll file a complaint with the emperor! Even if I die, I'll seek justice from Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess... and I'll make you pay!"
When Ning Dongling said this, everyone in the room was shocked.
No one expected that Ning Dongling, who was usually as docile and tolerant as a little white sheep, would dare to resist so fiercely?
"How dare you! How dare you threaten me?!" Lord Tian was furious and slammed the table and stood up.
"Why wouldn't I be afraid of a mere ninth-rank Fengluan?" Ning Dongling bravely took a step forward. "Since I have no way out, I will fight at all costs!"
Even if he dies, he will never be humiliated!
Seeing Lord Tian's increasingly red face, Cao Sili also panicked and hurried forward to cover Ning Dongling's mouth: "Asshole! What nonsense are you talking about here?! Why don't you apologize to Lord Tian now!"
Ning Dongling dodged and retreated, no longer wanting to get entangled with Cao!
As the two of them dodged, the attic suddenly became chaotic.
What happened to the ninth-rank official?
That was donated to him by his mother, who had spent a lot of money in the past! Others couldn't do it even if they wanted to!
Tian Bixian, who had never been humiliated in public like this before, was so angry that he was shaking all over and his chest was heaving violently.
Others might be afraid of the Crown Princess who hasn't even grown all her hair yet, but he is not!
His Tian family has nothing else but a lot of ancestral heritage!
Ever since he knew that there was a difficult person like Yuntang in Daliang, he had already hired many Taoist priests at a high price to protect his house!
Those young men who died here, not to mention their bodies, even their souls have long since dissipated!
In this Xijing City, who can do anything to him?!
"Come here! Tie up this ungrateful bastard!" Tian Bixian let out a sinister smile. "This fellow is considered top-grade... If you can tame him, that would be great! If not... just consider it Tian's invitation to entertain everyone today!"
Who of those other people didn’t have a life on their hands?!
Hearing this, their eyes lit up with lust, and they rubbed their hands together as they moved closer to Ning Dongling, who was extremely handsome and whose figure was softer than a woman's, a few steps away.
Ning Dongling's heart was beating like a drum, and her extremely nervous and frightened heart was about to jump out of her throat...
"No! Don't come over here!!"
His crimson eyes widened, and he screamed at the top of his lungs, "I have evidence of you buying and selling denaturalization documents, trafficking people, and forcing women into prostitution!"
"If...if I can't leave here alive, the evidence will be sent to the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, or even the Regent's Palace!"
"By then...by then none of you will be able to escape!!"
The people in the room froze in place for a moment. They looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
Soon, Tian Bixian curled his lips coldly, his sinister eyes surging with frightening viciousness and malice: "If that's the case... then don't even think about setting foot out of this villa!"
These evil men with fierce faces in the house were the bandit leader outside the city, the owner of an underground gambling house, and the notorious brothel madam in Xijing City.
They had hoped to play a game of cat and mouse, stretch their muscles, and slowly kill their recalcitrant prey...
But Ning Dongling's words just now left them with lingering fears, and their expressions all changed.
Several people raised their hands to signal, and the two warriors guarding the door immediately rushed forward.
They pulled the hemp ropes in their hands and pounced on Ning Dongling like hungry tigers.
Seeing that he could not escape through the main door, Ning Dongling turned around and ran towards the room inside.
Once upon a time, there was a very young zither player in the Jiaofangsi. Everyone said he had stolen a famous zither and absconded...
Only he knew that he entered Tian Mansion that night and never came out again!
After he secretly informed the zither player's family, they used countless connections and spent countless sums of money, but they finally brought the zither player's body home!
There was no funeral, no ceremonial procession...the zither player's family buried him in a hurry.
He had seen the body of the musician.
It wasn't just covered in bruises! He was completely broken! Even his facial features and internal organs... It was obvious that he had suffered inhuman torture before his death!
Even if Ning Dongling died today, he would never endure such humiliation and torture!
Although Ning Dongling rushed into the room in time, he didn't have time to close the door. Fortunately, it was summer and the windows in the room were open!
He swiftly leaped onto the windowsill, clinging to the frame tightly. "Don't come over here! If you come any closer, I'll jump from here! You'll never get any evidence in your lifetime!"
The two warriors didn't know what their master meant, so they stood still and didn't dare to move forward.
Ning Dongling was looking around for an escape route when the four men and one woman walked in, laughing...
The creepy laughter suddenly made his whole body tense and his hair stand on end.
Ning Dongling closed his eyes tightly and jumped down without thinking...
