Chapter 1 The Sinner
The 23rd year of Yasukuni Mingxing, the 23rd of the first month.

In the dark and humid sky prison, in the execution room for torture, the woman's dull humming staggered up and down along with the sound of the whip penetrating into the flesh.

Probably tired from the beating, the whip-wielding soldier finally stopped, gasped heavily, squeezed Lu Chengfeng's jaw, and said viciously: "Your sister and the others are all hanged, why don't you die! We live in this world to disgust us ?”

Lu Chengfeng was trembling uncontrollably, his eyes were broken.

There was full hatred in the prison soldier's eyes: "How much my elder brother respects Lu Feng! But what did Lu Feng do! Five cities in Subei! A whole five cities! [-] guards, but he ordered the switch to cause the fall of the five cities! What is it? General! Lu Feng is a dog that everyone shouts and beats! I wish I could drink his blood and eat his flesh and cut him into pieces!"

Lu Chengfeng was short of breath, raised his eyes with difficulty, his head was dizzy, and his voice was hoarse: "...then... if you hate him, why don't you... go down and find him..."

There was a sudden sharp pain in her jaw, and the prison guard squeezed her jaw vigorously, as if to crush the bones: "What a sharp mouth! Do you believe that I will kill you here!"

More than half a month of torture, day and night, has tortured Lu Chengfeng to the point where she was neither human nor ghost. Her hair was loose, her face was covered with blood, her hands and feet were bound by iron chains, and her eyelids drooped. The corners of his lips moved as if he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't be restrained.

"...you...don't dare..." Lu Chengfeng took a deep breath: "...here...here is the sky prison, the matter of Subei...the emperor's presiding trial has been closed, even if the Lu family deserves to die, but you dare to stay here Challenge the imperial power under your nose? You dare not."

Being told that he was worried, the man turned into a rage and flicked it violently, with nowhere to vent his anger. The whip slapped Lu Chengfeng's face, and a bright red blood flowed down his face: "Bitch! The Lu family is a bunch of bastards! I'll kill you!" !"

Lu Chengfeng was beaten so bloody that his whole body seemed to be pulled out of the bloody water. She gritted her teeth and her face was in pain. Cold sweat had already spread all over her body.

When I woke up, it was late at night, not long after the beginning of winter, and the temperature at night was bitterly cold, and the chill was as dense as a poisonous snake spitting out letters, eroding one's will.

Lu Chengfeng strenuously leaned against the wall, and every time he moved, his wounds were pulled all over his body. She endured hunger and drank water to satisfy her hunger. With such a simple move, her body was already sweating from pain again.

After a while, you will be able to go out soon.

In mid-October last year, Lu Feng, the general stationed in the five cities of Subei, cooperated with the enemy Guoli Yingwai to open the first line of defense in Subei, the mediocre city, and the barbarians wantonly massacred the people in the city and the rebel soldiers. Subei fell into chaos and became a purgatory on earth.

After the defeat of Subei, Lu Feng slayed himself on the city wall, and the imperial court escorted the members of the Lu family to Beijing. On the tenth birthday, he pleaded for mercy, and was carried back to the mansion after being blamed for fifty years. In the end, the court ruled that all the men of the Lu family should be executed, and the female family members would be filled into the Le Fang Division as music records, so that the nine families would not be harmed.

Yasukuni's music books are for dignitaries and dignitaries to have fun. There is no dignity or humanity at all. The eldest daughter of Lu, Lu Wan, is already a mother. Unable to bear this humiliation, she hangs herself in the prison with her young concubine sister. Lu Chengfeng lost everything overnight. loved ones.

Lu Chengfeng slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

The court verdict has been handed down, and the prison will soon reach its final release time. Two days later, Lu Chengfeng was carried into the Lefang Division.

The director of the music workshop is a woman in her 30s named Yu Changying. She took everyone to pick up Lu Chengfeng. It was probably the first time she saw someone enter the music workshop in such a miserable way. Everyone gathered around Lu Chengfeng and whispered. whisper.

"This is too hard, isn't it? I don't have a piece of good meat on my body."

"I heard that she is the daughter of the Lu family. It's not surprising that she was beaten like this."

"Is that the Lu family who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country?"

"No way!"

Everyone's sympathetic gazes suddenly turned into contempt.

No wonder!

It turned out to be the daughter of the Lu family!

Live it!

"What are you staying here to watch? Have you finished your work?" Yu Changying coldly glanced at the dozen or so people who watched the excitement: "The assessment will be coming soon, and you have learned everything I taught you? It's a shame that you won't get a chance by then." do not blame me!"

Yu Changying dismissed the others and walked up to Lu Chengfeng with an indifferent expression: "Start working in three days."

Lu Chengfeng nodded, and said with a breathless voice, "Thank you, Director."

Lu Chengfeng was placed in the most remote room, and he lay on the bed for a whole day and night before barely getting out of bed.

She looked at the empty room, but didn't care, poured a cup of cold tea and sat down at the table.

There was a bowl turned upside down on the table. Lu Chengfeng raised his hand and opened it, and found that there was a steamed bun inside. Although it was cold and hard, Lu Chengfeng, who was already so hungry that his chest was stuck to his back, couldn't care about it, and almost devoured it. .

Three days later, Lu Chengfeng dragged his unhealed body and started working.

Today she was assigned to clean the bookstore.

Most of the books stored in the large bookstores on the upper and lower floors are related to music theory. Lu Chengfeng wrung out the rag and slowly cleaned along the bookshelves.

The door of the bookstore was closed, and Vo Dan was also assigned to clean the bookstore. With a look of displeasure, she threw the rag in her hand towards the wooden basin, splashing a few wisps of water on the ground.

"It's really bad luck for eight lifetimes to share with you!"

Lu Chengfeng turned a deaf ear, lifted the book with his right hand, and put it down after wiping off the dust underneath.

According to the regulations, the bookstore is cleaned once every five days. It is estimated that someone was playing tricks before, and there was a lot of dust because no one checked the bottom of the book and kept it clean.

Seeing her appearance, Fu Dan couldn't help but said bitterly: "Oh, you are doing so carefully, don't you think it's because you want to please the director?"

"I advise you to save your energy. You probably don't know yet, the director's younger brother died in Subei, you wait for her revenge!"

"Are you dumb and don't say a word?"

"Hey?"

Lu Chengfeng's ignorance made Fu Dan feel very boring, so she simply found a chair and sat down with Erlang's legs up, and let Lu Chengfeng clean the entire bookstore by himself.

The band director has strict rules, and he has to do a lot of work every day. After breakfast in the morning, he starts to clean the courtyard, trim flowers, and wash a lot of clothes. In the afternoon, there is music class.

Although the director of Le Fang is not worthy of the name and secretly engaged in dishonest activities, every director is extremely persistent in teaching every Le slave.

Learn how to play the pipa today.

The lecturer was a middle-aged woman, sitting in the middle of the field and demonstrating to a dozen girls, playing while talking.

"push."

"pull."

"Stand up."

……

The girls only understood the general idea, and after school they gathered around to ask for advice.

It's almost evening, and evening is your own time.

Lu Chengfeng sat where she was, and didn't care about being isolated by everyone. Her injuries were not yet fully healed, and she was about to go back to the house and apply the medicine again, when she heard someone shouting behind her: "Lu Chengfeng!"

Lu Chengfeng turned his head.

Fu Dan looked at her with a smile, but could not stop gloating in his eyes: "The teacher asked you to come and play the pipa."

Lu Chengfeng turned his gaze to the teacher, and saw her frowning and staring at him displeasedly: "Everyone else is asking for advice, why are you the only one not here? I learned everything I taught today? If that's the case, then you play a song by me. Listen."

Lu Chengfeng's expression remained unchanged, and he said bluntly, "I don't know how to play musical instruments."

The musician raised his eyebrows and reprimanded: "It's because you don't know how to learn! Just come over and play, I see how much you have learned today!"

Lu Chengfeng stood still for a moment, and had no choice but to walk towards the crowd.She took the pipa and sat down, recalling the playing method taught by the musician in class, raised her hand, and the sharp strings instantly cut through her helpless fingers.

A flurry of tunes passed by.

Lu Chengfeng felt the pain in his fingers, but he finished the demonstration in silence, then stood up slowly and handed the pipa back.

The sound of the piano is weird and unpleasant, and it is obvious that he really doesn't know the pipa at all.

The musician took the piano back, and wiped the blood on the strings with a veil in distaste: "Okay, that's it for today."

Lu Chengfeng nodded politely to the musician and left the lecture hall.
-
The news that Lu Chengfeng didn't understand music theory soon spread, and the people in the music workshop didn't want to see Lu Chengfeng more and more. They would trip her up every day, and sometimes they would blatantly spit into her eating bowl. When Chengfeng saw it, he just silently cleaned his eating bowl.

Lu Chengfeng was so taciturn that he wanted to hide himself. If it wasn't for the teacher who could hear her voice when he occasionally asked questions, everyone would have thought she was dumb.

The life of Le Fangsi is difficult, but it is thousands of times better than being tortured every night in the sky prison. The small fights here are nothing to Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng lay on the sloppy bed, staring at the roof in a daze.

She still has to stay here for a while, but she needs to find an opportunity to get out as soon as possible, otherwise in one to three months, once Le Fangsi's shackles on Le Nu are over, the situation waiting for her will only be worse than in the sky prison.
