Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 169
Lieutenant Long's intelligence agency worked very quickly. It only took two days to investigate Ma Dao Po.

Then on a dark and windy night, a dozen people broke into Ma Daopo's small Taoist temple, beat them unconscious and took them away.

When Ma Daopo woke up, she found that she was already in a dark dungeon.

This guy was quite frightened, but she still had some sense and didn't yell, but sat in a corner.

The next day, Jia Rui went to the infantry commander's office as usual.

But this time, as soon as he walked to the door, he saw a dragon captain coming quietly.

This means that Lieutenant Long is Jia Rui's old subordinate. If anyone else had approached Jia Rui, he would have been knocked down and tied up by his soldiers.

Jia Rui paused for a moment on his horse. The dragon captain had already arrived in front of Jia Rui's horse. He first gave Jia Rui a thousand dollars, and then said carefully:
"Sir, what you asked us to do has been completed."

There was a smile on Jia Rui's face, "I understand, you go back first, I will go over after I finish the things here."

The forbidden officer Long gave him a thousand blows and turned to leave. Jia Rui continued to enter the infantry commander's office as if nothing was wrong.

In the infantry commander's office, after walking around for a while and seeing that nothing happened, he turned around and left, going straight to Lieutenant Long.

After entering Long Jinwei, Ma Tao received him attentively.

Jia Rui can now be said to be Ma Tao's biggest supporter. If this guy wants to gain a foothold in Longjin, it all depends on Jia Rui.

Entering the lobby, Jia Rui was still sitting in the middle.

"Did you do things very smoothly this time? Did you catch the person so quickly?"

"Sir, she is just an ordinary folk goddess. The younger ones thought she was some kind of powerful person, so they sent a dozen experts there, but all their efforts were in vain."

"Okay, let's go and see this Madaopo."

Although Ma Tao didn't know why Jia Rui was in trouble with this ordinary folk goddess, he still led the way diligently.

Several people came to Long Jinwei's dungeon, and accompanied by the cell leader, came to Ma Daopo's prison.

Jia Rui looked in through the small window and saw an ordinary and thin old woman sitting in the corner, her eyes closed and breathing evenly, as if she was asleep.

Hehe, this guy is quite calm, and he was able to fall asleep even when he got to this place.

Ma Tao, who was following Jarison, couldn't stand it anymore and kept banging on the iron fence.

"Hey, hey, why are you still asleep? Do you know where this place is?"

Ma Daopo slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the door, only to see four or five people standing there. The leader she had seen before was none other than Jia Rui.

As soon as I saw Jia Rui, I understood everything.

Ma Daopo also knew in her heart that it was over this time. This time she cast a spell to curse Jia Baoyu, the precious phoenix egg of Rongguo Mansion.

She just didn't expect that Rongguo Mansion would find out about her so quickly. Thinking of this, she felt a little regretful. She should have known better that she shouldn't have been greedy for those hundreds of taels of silver.

Jia Rui waved his hand and asked someone to open the door of the cell, and then said to Ma Tao: "You go down first, I will have a few words with this person alone."

Ma Tao quickly saluted and retreated with the cell leader and others.

After they got down, Jia Rui entered the cell with square steps.

Ma Daopo also knew that her end would not be good, so she did not beg for mercy. She just sat in the corner and looked at Jia Rui, with a trace of fear in her eyes.

Jia Rui smelled a foul smell when he entered the cell. He quickly took out a handkerchief and blocked his nose.

He originally wanted to take a few steps closer, but this time Jia Rui gave up and stood not far from the cell door looking at Madao Po.

"You are Ma Daopo! You are very capable, but you dare to attack the family members of the imperial officials. Do you want your life?"

Ma Daopo's eyes flashed a few times and she hesitated.

From Jia Rui's tone, she also felt that Jia Rui in front of her didn't seem to want her life, otherwise there would be no need to come over and talk nonsense to her.

With a glimmer of hope, Ma Daopo finally moved her eyes a little, and she took action for the first time.

Ma Daopo moved her body, knelt on the ground, and said to Jia Rui in the distance:
"Lord Jia, I was confused for a moment and blinded by money. Please spare my life, Lord Jia."

There was a hint of playfulness in Jia Rui's eyes, "It's not impossible to spare your life, but what can I get?"

Ma Daopo's eyes lit up, and then I glanced at Jia Rui secretly, and seemed to have made up her mind, "As long as you spare my life, I will be yours from now on. If you let me face the east, I will never Don’t dare to go west.”

After hearing this, Jia Rui was non-committal. He touched the non-existent beard under his chin with his hand and thought about it, and then said, "How can I believe you?"

Ma Daopo was also stunned. She didn't know how to win Jia Rui's trust.

Seeing Ma Daopo in a daze, Jia Rui smiled instead, "Actually, it's easy to win my trust."

After Jia Rui said this, he waved his hand towards the bowl of water at the door of the cell.

This time Jia Rui used the crane control hand. This is a skill Jia Rui learned in the system. It is not very useful. Its main function is to look cool.

All I saw was the water in the bowl. Following Jia Rui's guidance, it flew out and sat in front of Jia Rui's eyes.

Then Jia Rui patted the pool of water.Then the water hit Ma Dao Po's body with lightning speed.

Ma Daopo was also startled by this sudden situation, but before she could react, the water droplets had already hit her body. They did not disperse as she imagined, but penetrated into her like a steel knife. within the body.

Next, Ma Daopo felt a numbness in her body, followed by bursts of stinging pain, like the bites of thousands of ants.

Ma Daopo couldn't stand it anymore and started rolling on the ground and howling.

You must know that the Life and Death Talisman can control martial arts masters. Those top-notch masters in the Tianlong Babu can't stop the Life and Death Talisman, not to mention Ma Daopo, who is considered a magic stick for ordinary people.

Jia Rui just watched from the cell door.

After about a stick of incense, Ma Daopo's body was completely soaked with sweat, and her face became distorted, but her howling did not decrease in any way.

Jia Rui knew that time was almost up. If he kept going on like this, Ma Daopo might be useless.

So Jia Rui struck out from the air, hitting Ma Daopo's acupuncture point.

Ma Daopo immediately felt that the tingling and numbness on her body were gone.

Only then did Ma Daopo feel that she was alive again. She opened her mouth like a fish that had lost its water source, and kept panting.

"How's it going? Have you tasted it?"

Ma Daopo looked at Jia Rui with dull eyes.

"Once this life-death talisman flares up, it gets worse every day, and the itching and pain increase for ninety-nine and eighty-one days, and then gradually decrease, and after eighty-one days, it increases again, and it repeats itself endlessly."

After hearing this, Ma Daopo felt like she was struck by thunder. She didn't expect that this was only the first day of the attack. Thinking about the next eighty days, Ma Daopo felt that her life had no more light, so she might as well die.

This is not Ma Daopo's imagination. The numb and tingling feeling just now was not only on the surface of her body, but also on her internal organs. That feeling could not be compared to being cut into pieces with a thousand cuts.

"Haha, you don't have to be too afraid. From now on, as long as you serve me faithfully, I will give you pills every day. As long as you take this pill, you can get through the day."

There was finally a glimmer of light in Ma Daopo's eyes. She had originally planned to seek refuge with Jia Rui, so there was no psychological obstacle in working for Jia Rui.

"Sir, I am willing to do things for you. From now on, you will be the god."

Jia Rui nodded lightly. Although he still didn't trust Ma Daopo very much, under the control of the life and death talisman, he didn't believe that this guy really dared to be so bold.

This is also Jia Rui's absolute trust in the life and death talisman in Tianlong Babu. He does not believe that this mortal body can resist the erosion of the life and death talisman.

Jia Rui was not looking at Ma Daopo, but turned around. After walking out of the cell, he put the handkerchief in his pocket again and took a deep breath.

"Come on."

When Ma Tao and others heard Jia Rui's voice, they quickly came in from the outside.

"What are your orders?"

"Send someone to prepare some clean clothes for the people inside to change into, and get her some food. After that, let her meet me in the lobby."

After saying that, Jia Rui walked up and left the dungeon. The reason why he left in such a hurry was because the dungeon was so smelly. Even if he didn't enter the cell, the choking smell kept coming to Jia Rui. Drill into the nose.

Jia Rui returned to the lobby, and the waiter below immediately brought him fragrant tea.

Jia Rui sat there and waited while sipping tea.

After about a stick of incense, Ma Tao walked into the lobby with a brand new Ma Dao Po.

As soon as Ma Daopo saw Jia Rui, her body trembled a little and she knelt down involuntarily.

"This slave is here to greet you, Your Majesty."

Jia Rui looked at the submissive Ma Daopo and felt very happy.

Ma Daopo's character is not very good, but she has some skills. Yesterday, she was able to use witchcraft to kill Jia Baoyu with a curse from the air.

With just this skill, he is a usable talent.

When Jia Rui came to the world of Dream of Red Mansions, besides the one in his life, this Ma Daopo was the third person Jia Rui met who could cast spells.

Such talents are hard to find and must be in your own hands. Even if you don't harm others, staying by your side is also a precaution.

What's more, Jia Rui himself is not afraid, but he still has family!With Ma Dao Po, Xue Baochai and his son can also be safe.

"Okay, there's no need to kneel down. From now on, there will be no such person as Ma Dao Po in the world. You will be Ma Dao Po in our house."

Ma Daopo nodded quickly. She must be so well-behaved and well-behaved.

Then Jia Rui took Ma Daopo out of the Longjinwei Yamen and returned to his Dingxi Marquis Mansion.

You know, once you enter the Hou family, it is as deep as the sea, and Xiao Lang is a passerby from then on.

Even though many people know Ma Daopo, as long as she really lives in seclusion and does not leave Dingxihou Mansion, Jia Rui can guarantee that others will not be able to find her.
