In fact, after her family members were arrested by the officials, Cui Shishi secretly followed them all the way to Wuzhou. Unfortunately, she didn't dare to get too close, and she was walking while the officials were riding in cars... After traveling for a long time, she finally arrived in Wuzhou. Who knew that as soon as she arrived, she saw the officials making things difficult for Miss Lu.
Moreover, the prefect was calling her name, so they must have mistaken Miss Lu for themselves.
Naturally, she couldn't let her benefactor suffer such injustice, so she stood up without hesitation.
The prefect sat there, staring at Cui Shishi for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "I see, it seems that you are a servant of the Cui family, and you are loyal."
Cui Shishi's chest heaved violently: "No, I am the real Cui Shishi! I didn't lie to you!"
"Oh? Then how do you prove that you are Cui Shishi?" The prefect waved his hands with an amused look on his face.
He turned to look at his confidant beside him: "Get her away... Wait!"
The prefect paused for a moment, then smiled meaningfully: "Forget it, let's put her together with the others! Since she wants to work for the Cui family so much, I will grant her wish and let her be buried with the Cui family!"
After the officers sent Cui Shishi to Mrs. Cui, the hall became quiet again.
"Let the execution begin!" The prefect was a little impatient and pointed at Lu Yunxi.
Cui Shishi was furious and asked loudly: "I said she is not..."
Before she could finish her words, the trusted official noticed the prefect's dark expression and thought to himself that something was wrong. He quickly stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth, silencing her.
Cui Shishi, who was caught, could only make a grunting sound, with red eyes.
Lu Yunxi was tied by the officers to a wooden stick that was several dozen centimeters in diameter and several dozen centimeters taller than her.
This wooden stick looks like the pillar in the hotel in the previous life. It is very thick and it would be difficult for ordinary people to escape if they were tied to it.
She was actually quite confused and had no idea what they were doing. Were they going to leave her outside in the wind and rain?
Just at this moment, a little baby's voice was heard among the crowd, asking her doubts.
"This punishment, pounding rice, actually involves cutting off a person's nose, and then sending them to the border to do work like drying grain and pounding rice," explained a person among the crowd.
The people around suddenly realized.
Lu Yunxi also felt relieved and watched the knife approaching his nose.
"Swish——" the knife flashed.
Although she repeatedly told the Cui family to stay calm when they just came out of the cell, they still subconsciously closed their eyes and screamed when they saw this scene.
The male member of the Cui family next door was so angry that his veins were bulging, but he was held down by the officers.
However, what everyone waited for was not Lu Yunxi's screams and cries, but the prefect's loud screams:
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
He stumbled down and saw that Lu Yunxi's nose was still intact. When the knife cut it, not only did it not cut off the nose, there was not even a trace!
He looked Lu Yunxi up and down for a long time, two drops of cold sweat sliding down his forehead. His eyes were blank, and he kept muttering, "I don't believe it! How can someone be harder than iron!"
The trusted officer frowned and said, "Sir, is it possible that the knife didn't even touch the woman? After all, we were far away and couldn't see clearly!"
The prefect kept nodding his head: "Yes, that must be the case..." He didn't know whether he was deceiving others or himself, and kept repeating to himself.
The executioner next to him was already sweating profusely.
He had just done it himself. Others might not know, but how could he not know? The knife struck the girl with a clang, and he almost fell from the force. Only because his lower body was stable enough did he quickly stand firm.
Thinking of those weird rumors, he began to sweat more and more, and his eyes were unconsciously filled with a hint of fear. He subconsciously stepped back, wanting to stay away from Lu Yunxi.
Many officers frowned subconsciously when they saw this scene, and also took a few steps back.
The prefect didn't notice anything was wrong around him at all, and he picked up the knife and slashed at Lu Yunxi.
There was a series of clanging sounds.
The prefect didn't know how many times he had chopped, and he was a little tired. However, when he looked up, he saw Lu Yunxi's nonchalant face.
He was first furious, and then terrified.
"You...are you a human or a ghost?!" If you were a human, how could you have been hacked for so long and not been hurt at all?!
Thinking of this, he stepped back in fear.
The prefect was the highest official in Wuzhou, and even he was afraid, let alone other people in Wuzhou.
The crowd outside became agitated, and the officers tightened their weapons, retreating while no one was paying attention.
“Ghost!”
I don't know who screamed first, but it was like a switch had been turned on. In an instant, the entire city of Wuzhou was filled with screams.
The onlookers fled in a swarm.
The Wuzhou prefect accidentally bumped into a chair as he backed away. Struggling to his feet, he pointed at Lu Yunxi and shouted, "Quick! Arrest them! Put them in jail! Put them all in jail!"
The trusted officer tried his best to remain calm: "Don't panic, sir! Even if they are ghosts, they probably can't hit us, otherwise they would have resisted long ago! How could they just go to jail obediently?!"
"Yes! Catch them quickly!" The prefect held his confidant's hand tightly, his heart almost jumping out of his chest with nervousness.
Lu Yunxi turned her head to look at the Cui family, then glanced at Chen San inconspicuously.
The two nodded slightly, their eyes meeting and then looking away.
