Chapter 2011: Torture in the Temple
Chapter 2011: Torture in the Temple
Old Master Qin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, knowing that if they delayed any further, Qin Tianci and his wife might die. He had no choice but to agree with the old woman and headed to the government office in a mighty procession.
When they arrived at the government office and explained their purpose, the county magistrate had a strange look on his face and tried to find excuses to refuse. Seeing that something was not right, Old Man Qin's heart sank and he immediately stuffed a heavy silver bag into the county magistrate's hand.
"Sir, as long as you can help me find Tianci, or... provide some clues, all of these will be yours, and my Qin family will also give you a generous reward." His eyes were full of anxiety, and the intention of bribery was evident in his words.
Although the county magistrate was warned not to take action, he was not forbidden to speak. He weighed the silver bag and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "Master Qin, we have been neighbors for many years. I want to help you too."
"It's just that I haven't been feeling well lately. Why don't you go to Liu's house and see if you can find someone to ask for help?"
"Liu Mansion, where is the Liu Mansion?" Old Madam Qin retorted subconsciously. In her eyes, Liu Xiuyun was dead, the child was also dead, and the Liu Mansion no longer existed. The house still belonged to their Qin family.
But Mr. Qin was quick-witted and saw things more clearly than the old woman. The county magistrate's obvious reminder gave him a vague guess.
The two who can support Liu Zhai are these two.
I'm afraid that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang have come back, discovered the clues, and arrested Qin Tianci and his wife.
Thinking of this, he did not delay any longer and respectfully bowed to the county magistrate to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, County Magistrate, for your advice."
After saying that, Mr. Qin took Madam Qin and the group left in a mighty procession, heading towards the Liu residence. At the same time, screams were heard in the temple.
Qin Tianci had been lowered from the pillar and tied together with Feng Yingying, while Liu Xiuyun, bored out of her mind, took a whip and whipped the two of them like spinning tops.
The blood dyed the ground below them red. The two men were now too weak to even beg for mercy. They were tortured to the point of being on the verge of death.
But Liu Xiuyun laughed without any scruples, trampling the two men's faces into the mud: "Zhou Feng, look, it turns out that torturing people is so refreshing."
"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been so kind and become a devil, so that others wouldn't experience this refreshing feeling and eat up the bitter taste."
As he said that, he whipped Feng Yingying again, and her skin was torn apart. Hearing Feng Yingying's screams, she also hit Qin Tianci hard, and beat her left and right.
"Well! Xiuyun, please, for the sake of the child, spare me. I am the child's father after all..." He took a few breaths, looking at her eagerly like a poor puppy: "All this was Feng Yingying's idea. If you are not satisfied, I will beat her to death for you."
At this point, Qin Tianci could only think of abandoning his wife to save himself. If Liu Xiuyun went crazy and tortured him until dawn, both of them would die.
"Oh? Are you serious? You will kill her yourself?" Liu Xiuyun squatted down and looked at him leisurely. Seeing her like this, Qin Tianci suddenly saw hope and nodded quickly.
"really!"
"Qin Tianci, you are such a heartless man, you have no shame!"
Feng Yingying's curses were so deafening that Liu Xiuyun could not help but stand up and raise her hand to whip her again, but this time the whip hit her mouth and also destroyed half of her face.
"Ahhh, my face!" The shrill scream resounded through the sky, and even the echo reached Liu's residence.
At this moment, Wan Shufang looked at Mr. Qin outside, her expression unchanged, just drinking tea indifferently.
"My Lord Duke, my Lady Duke, I am Qin Xiao, the father of Qin Wenxuan, and I would like to meet you two." He was respectful, knelt on the ground with his fists clasped, and even introduced himself.
It's not that he thought Chen Changli and Wan Shufang didn't know him, he just wanted to bring up Qin Wenxuan in an attempt to soften Chen Changli's heart. The fact that he could deliver the letter for Qin Wenxuan showed that Chen Changli had some friendship with him.
"They can borrow Qin Wenxuan's name, which shows that they are really desperate." Wan Shufang sneered. If they hadn't been so ruthless to Liu Xiuyun, she wouldn't have meddled in their affairs.
Now, even if he moved Qin Wenxuan out, it wouldn’t work!
Knowing that Wan Shufang was angry, Chen Changli just held her hand soothingly and ignored what was happening outside. Outside, Old Master Qin was frightened when he saw the lights on in the house.
"Sir, the rebellious son Qin Tianci is unfortunately lost. Please help me find him. If I find him, I will punish him severely. It will be my fault for your trouble."
He said this bluntly, he almost said it clearly, that this time he was really willing to give Liu Xiuyun an explanation, and only asked to spare Qin Tianci's life.
But there was still no movement in the room.
Old Master Qin was sweating profusely and tears were streaming down his face.
"Sir, I know Tianci is a bastard and has done wrong things, but as a father, I really can't watch him die. I beg you to have mercy on me." He cried and begged with tears in his voice. I don't know if it was to suit the occasion, but after a few thunders, a drizzle began to fall.
The rain drenched the Qin family, and the door of the Liu residence finally opened.
Chen Changli was seen helping Wan Shufang out. They instantly saw hope and begged for mercy. However, Wan Shufang rubbed her brows tiredly and said calmly, "I am not feeling well today and cannot see you. Please go back."
As she said that, she turned around and was about to leave. Old Master Qin subconsciously wanted to stop her, but Chen Changli stopped her with a look: "Master Qin, please go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed the door with a bang, refused the visitor, and helped Wan Shufang go back to rest.
The Qin family was left in a mess in the rain. The two men showed up because they did it for Qin Wenxuan's sake, but they would not help. Being able to find an excuse was already the biggest concession they had made.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Worried that the old man couldn't take it, the Qin family could only go back in despair.
For three consecutive days, there was no news from Qin Tianci, and Old Man Qin had no way to meet Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
He could no longer hold back and directly sent people to secretly watch the Liu residence. Only then did he discover that Liu Xiuyun was not dead and was having a secret affair with Zhong Zhoufeng!
"Well, this bitch is really lucky." Old Master Qin couldn't help cursing, and he was so angry that he blew his eyebrows and glared: "You keep watching, and report back if you have any news. Tianci's disappearance must be related to her."
"Yes, master."
The secret guard took the order and left, but came back in the evening and said that Liu Xiuyun and Zhong Zhoufeng had gone out, and Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were not in Liu's house either. Only Yunxiang and the child were in the house...
Hearing this, Mr. Qin's eyes lit up and he made a prompt decision: "Send a few guards to break into Liu's house and bring the child to me."
"My subordinate understands!"
The secret guard walked out quickly, and went straight to Liu's residence with the guards. In the yard, Yunxiang was washing clothes for the young master, but suddenly heard the gate of the yard being kicked open.
"Who!" She just turned around, and the next second, she felt a sudden pain on the back of her head. The security guard threw a stone and blood splattered on the ground.
Yunxiang fell to the ground and lost consciousness. She only saw those people reaching out to hug the child.
"Let go of the young master..."
