Chapter 235

Seeing Hongyu like this, the old bustard couldn't bear it, but even if she couldn't bear it, she couldn't just watch her go to death: "That person is not a merchant at all, but an official. She approached you for fear of To inquire about the news, in order to attract the attention of Xu San and the others, so now that her identity is discovered, she is afraid...it is absolutely impossible for her to come out of that place alive. Hongyu, if you want to be more open, don't worry about this matter anymore gone."

Hongyu's face turned pale immediately: "Officer? He...he is from the imperial court?"

The old bustard nodded, seeing her distressed appearance, she said directly: "Do you know that the wicked woman who was rumored in the capital recently was sentenced? This person...is not a man at all, but a woman! The reason for taking the risk is to find out the whereabouts of the human skin lamp. This case involves a lot, and she is an imperial court official. Xu San and the others are all desperadoes. If she falls into their hands, I'm afraid... ... Maybe I can survive tonight. I just went to test Xu San and gave him a lot of bank notes. He saw that Yinyue Building has a good income recently. I asked around a few times, and he said Couldn't help but say it out, saying that his Shangfeng had already decided to skin this female prisoner to make a human skin lantern...so...she's sure to die, you'd better give up on it, don't do it again. asked!"

Hongyu's whole body went limp, and she fell back on the bed, her breathing almost stopped: "They...are going to kill...kill...he is really a woman? But, but how could it be?"

Hongyu couldn't help flashing the other's delicate and beautiful eyebrows and gentle face in her mind, as if through those eyes, she could soothe the uneasiness and inferiority in her heart. She bit her lip and trembled all over, especially when she heard the old bustard's voice. The sentence "Shangfeng has decided to make her a human skin lantern".

Hongyu immediately thought of Xiantao. Three years ago, Yinyuelou was accepted by another person, but she didn't expect that the other party was doing a dirty business. Xiantao was the first to know about it and exposed it directly. After she came out, she was going to leave this place, but Xu San and others knew about it. Unexpectedly, these people simply kept it secret and called all the girls. In the lobby downstairs, they were actually In front of all the girls, give the skin of the peach to...

Thinking of the scene of the blood dripping all over the ground, and thinking of the girl who was scared and fainted, Hongyu felt like a nightmare when she thought about it now.

She knew that this woman had been sentenced. When the twelve corpses were found, when she told Su Zhu, she even had hope, maybe... maybe people like Xu San could be caught?
But she never thought that she would actually see this female torturer.But...why is she dying?
Hongyu's eyes were red, and tears dripped down one by one. She smiled miserably at the old bustard: "Mom, what kind of life do you think we have lived these past few years?"

Seeing her smile, the old bustard couldn't help turning her eyes red, and sighed: "I know that the matter of Xiantao scared you back then, why didn't I... If I knew that the young owner of Yinyue Tower was doing this kind of thing... Business, even if I take you away, I will never let you stay in this wolf den."

Hongyu took a deep breath: "But we can't just let it go, this is an opportunity, if people like Xu San are caught, we might be able to escape, mom, you think...we will be controlled by these people for the rest of our lives Do you do this kind of bloody and dirty business all your life?"

The old bustard was stunned for a long time, and then said with a trembling voice: "You... what do you want to do?"

Hongyu wiped her face fiercely: "Let's take a gamble! Mom, you also said that this is the very famous female prisoner. It's only been a few days, but the other party can find Xu San , to prove that the other party is really capable, she is an official of the imperial court, it is impossible for her to be arrested and no one will come to investigate, does mother know where their business is?"

The old bustard took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "You want to report secretly? This is a dead end. If you find out, Xiantao will be your fate!"

Hongyu smiled, as if relieved: "I'm not afraid...Three years ago, I should have died with Xiantao. I can't sleep every day these years because of self-blame. I don’t regret it, but now another girl is going to be killed in front of us. I can’t be sorry for my conscience anymore. Over the years, so many people, so many girls, which one...is not life? My life is life, but Their... is also life. If I am really caught, I will die, but it is just a life, but if I don’t try this time, more people will die in the future... I don’t want to see this scene, I I'm afraid... my conscience will be even more uneasy, I'm afraid that after I die... I won't have the face to see Xiantao."

The old bustard didn't say a word for a long time, and the circles of her eyes couldn't help turning red, and the tears fell down, and she suddenly stepped forward and hugged Hongyu, and said in a choked voice, "It's because I didn't protect you well... These years...Okay! Let's take a bet together. In the past three years, I probably know the exact location, but I'm not sure...Xu San is very vigilant, but in the past three years, I probably guessed a few places , the underground of Yinyue Tower is full of secret passages, I have analyzed it before, and I will tell you later, but how do you know which people are sent by the imperial court?"

Hongyu lowered her eyes and clenched the porcelain rose in her hand: "Mom, you said, this person is a female prisoner... She can be a prisoner, so she has her own abilities, so she must have a way to make people Find me, I just have to wait..."

Hongyu stared blankly at the front: "Xiantao, if I succeed this time, I will avenge you. When I die and go underground, I hope you don't hate me and are willing to see me..."

When it was completely dark, Yu Kuifeng, Tianyi and others hid in a dark box, holding the things Tianyi sent over in their hands, and frowned: "Are you sure this thing is useful? That ruby, no Anyone who knows if it is those people, in case..."

Tian Yi said in a deep voice: "This is the emperor's order. Since Mr. Chu has never doubted it, then this red jade is trustworthy."

Yu Zhufeng was blocked, and rubbed the aching eyebrows: "Okay, you say yes, I'm not sure about my heart, I'm afraid that Xiao Chu has already..." Yu Zhufeng muttered, and said to the sky. With heavy eyes, my heart trembled: "I'm talking nonsense, you just pretend I didn't say anything! Okay, I'm going in, I won't be seen by my appearance, right?"

Yu Kuifeng stood up, looking a little foolish, he didn't know who the emperor was looking for, but he really didn't recognize himself.

Tianyi looked at it seriously: "Yes. These two are the thugs we specially recruited. Their skills are not particularly high, but they will not be suspected. It is enough for you to be servants. The emperor asked the young master to be more careful and not to be exposed. "

Yu Kuifeng waved his hand: "I know, I know, can I still harm her?"

He turned around, looked at the Yinyue Tower in front of him, took a deep breath, took a step, and strode over there.

On the other side, in the private prison, Chu Qing was tied to a cross for a day and a night. Since Xu San left angrily, no one came here again.

She cautiously glanced at the two guards on the right and left of the cell. She calculated carefully that these people change shifts every hour, but when it's meal time, there is no one here for half an hour. They were tied up, and they were powerless women, so they were not taken seriously at all.

Chu Qing calculated the time, and it was almost dinner time, which meant that they would not be here for half an hour.

Sure enough, not long after, the two guards left, and the whole private prison became quiet for a while. Chu Qing's stomach growled after thinking about it. These people must have won the intention of Prince Wuqing and did not give him food. , so she hadn't eaten all day and night. She guessed that Prince Wuqing might be bleeding himself tonight or tomorrow night. She didn't want to leave tonight, and she might really not be able to leave in the future.

Chu Qing looked around and made sure that no one would come again, then slowly took out a small blade that had been hidden for a long time from the sleeve pocket in her sleeve, just because her arm was being helped horizontally, she Only one hand can move, but fortunately, because she has used a scalpel all year round, her fingers are flexible.

Chu Qing's fingers bent into an almost hard-to-reach arc, and she began to cut the rope bit by bit. Because of the inconvenience of her fingers, Chu Qing didn't move very quickly, so she tried to calm herself down as much as possible.

After cutting a stick of incense, she finally cut off the rope on her right hand, and then it was much easier to cut off her left hand. After a quick cut off, she began to cut off the rest of her body. After finally being freed, Chu relaxed. With stiff wrists and ankles, he walked to the entrance of the cell, pulled out the hosta from his head, and began to move against the lock. After a while, he heard a click, and the door lock opened.

Probably the girl next to her heard the movement and made a whining sound. Chu Qing lowered her voice soothingly and said, "If I can escape, I will save you, trust me."

The girl probably heard their conversation before and knew that Chu Qing was the female prisoner, so she really calmed down.

Chu Qing took a deep breath, restored the door to its original shape, then went outside, removed a wooden board, and then hid in a place, quietly waiting for the two guards to come back.After a stick of incense, the two people came back with each other. After eating and drinking, they seemed to be in a good mood. As soon as they walked to the side, they were surprised to see that the person who was locked in Chu Qing's cell disappeared from the corner of the eye. He hurried to the door of the cell.

At this moment, Chu Qing appeared at their door without a sound, one on the other side at a very fast speed, and the two of them were knocked unconscious before they could react.
