Chapter 139 Waiting for Rescue
Chapter 139 Waiting for reinforcements
Magistrate Zhang captured Su Jinxiu and used all the instruments of torture in turn.
Su Jinxiu was in great pain, but she only cried out in pain and did not beg for mercy.
If Su Jinxiu hadn't been against them, he would really think highly of Su Jinxiu.
A little girl with very hard bones.
The moon was high in the sky, and Su Jinxiu seemed to be unable to bear the pain, and finally uttered a few words from her mouth.
"South of the city, mill..."
There are no fewer than ten mills in the south of the city, but you don’t know which one it is?
I wanted to ask again, but Su Jinxiu had already passed out.
He quickly put Su Jinxiu in jail and went to Sun Mingxing to report the matter.
Sun Mingxing thought for a moment and knocked on the table.
"Everyone, go to the south of the city to search for the mill.
Even if I turn over those mills, I still have to find what I want."
Magistrate Zhang took the order and left, gathering everyone in the city and went to the mill in the south of the city.
Su Jinxiu lay in the cold cell, listening to the footsteps gradually disappearing.
Slowly raise your hand and put your fingertips in your mouth.
The sweet and refreshing spring water pours into the throat, like rain flowing into dry fields.
After drinking all the spiritual spring water, the injuries on his body gradually improved.
The broken bones don't hurt that much anymore.
She sat up and leaned against the wall.
I looked down at my fingertips. Is this a blessing in disguise?
The spiritual spring that originally only had a small cup is now like a spring.
The spiritual spring can be taken and used at any time without restrictions.
I just hope that things like this can buy Wang Jiu more time...
————————————
Mu Qingyu kept listening to the noise outside, fearing that someone would come to her door.
After dark, the movement outside gradually died down.
The sound of people was rushing towards the south of the city, and their place was temporarily safe.
He knew that Su Jinxiu successfully lured people away.
While he was relieved, he was also worried about Su Jinxiu's condition.
Regardless of whether they can find what they want in the south of the city, Su Jinxiu's life will not be easy in the future.
While the doctor was giving Wang Jiu an injection, he called out his secret guards.
Order them to leave the city immediately to find the whereabouts of King Rui.
It was also thanks to Su Jinxiu that he lured away the people searching in the city, allowing his people to leave the city easily.
I just hope that Su Jinxiu can stay longer, either waiting for Prince Rui to come or waiting for "Wang Jiu" to wake up.
When I returned to the room, I saw Wang Jiu still asleep.
He frowned and sighed.
"You have to get better soon, otherwise Su Jinxiu will really die."
Wang Jiu's hand moved slightly.
Early the next morning, Magistrate Zhang and everyone else looked dark and dazzled from waiting.
But he didn't even see the sign of the ledger, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
When I returned to the county government and reported it to Sun Mingxing, he also understood.
"What a yellow-haired girl, she actually got teased a lot.
If I continue to torture her, I want to see if she is being stubborn.
It’s still the same, the torture instruments are hard.”
Magistrate Zhang did not bother to rest and went to the cell again.
Su Jinxiu was slipped out and the torture continued.
He found that after just one night, Su Jinxiu's injuries were almost healed.
This puzzled him greatly, and he wondered if he had acted lightly yesterday.
Today, he tried his best to get useful words out of Su Jinxiu's mouth.
It was still a lot of trouble, but this time, Su Jinxiu didn't even cry out in pain.
After two hours, he completely passed out.
Hearing that the breath was weak, Magistrate Zhang did not dare to continue tossing.
The only option is to put her in jail first and let her slow down.
Sun Mingxing felt that it was impossible for Su Jinxiu to tell Chengnan Mill without any reason.
The account book must be related to this. After thinking about it, I found one in the south of the city yesterday.
Today, I will go to the north of the city to look for it.
Magistrate Zhang received the order and searched the north of the city again.
From night to day, still nothing was found.
Magistrate Zhang, who was dizzy after two days of exhaustion, returned to the county office and was completely angry.
I made up my mind to get useful words from Su Jinxiu's mouth no matter what today.
Otherwise, either Su Jinxiu dies or he dies.
He dragged the person out of the prison, tied him to the torture stake, and was about to take action.
Suddenly, I heard someone reporting from outside.
"Sir, Prince Rui is here.
It's right at the city gate, you must let us open the city gate."
When he heard that King Rui had left and returned, Magistrate Zhang lost all his courage.
"Didn't you tell him that the epidemic is spreading in the city?
Let him go, why are you causing trouble now?"
The people outside looked helpless: "As I said, King Kerui said that no matter what is in the city, he will enter the city now.
If we don't open the city gate, he will force his way in."
Magistrate Zhang cursed, threw away the instruments of torture, and hurried to find Sun Mingxing.
"One or two, they really know how to choose the right time to cause trouble."
When Sun Mingxing heard that King Rui was back, he didn't panic at all.
"Su Jinxiu still hasn't handed over the ledger?"
Magistrate Zhang nodded helplessly and wiped his sweat.
"That little girl looks young and has very strong bones.
Now that Prince Rui is here, he will definitely look for her.
How will we explain it when the time comes?
And how to get rid of this matter of closing the city?
I really don’t know, sir, please let me know."
Sun Mingxing stood up and wiped his hands.
"If King Rui wants to enter the city, let him enter.
When news spread that there was an epidemic in the city, he insisted on entering the city.
As for the rhetoric after entering the city, that would be easier.
At such an old age, he has been tired from traveling and traveling.
It is not uncommon for someone to die from an epidemic without treatment."
County Magistrate Zhang opened his mouth wide when he heard what Sun Mingxing said.
"Sir, sir, that is the prince.
Seriously, if you say kill, you will kill?"
Sun Mingxing kicked Magistrate Zhang away and got angry.
"A regent is also a killer, so what's the difference if he has an old guy too?
When someone enters the city, you try to get him to meet Su Jinxiu.
Su Jinxiu trusted him and refused to hand over things to us.
Definitely, leave it to him."
With such clear instructions, Magistrate Zhang naturally knew what to do.
Although it was a bit of a risk, if he didn't do it, he would be the one who died.
He led people to the city gate and welcomed Xiao Rui inside.
Xiao Rui seemed to have arrived in a hurry and didn't even sit in the carriage.
They only brought dozens of people into the city, so they weren't much of a threat.
"Master Zhang, I have only been away from Wucheng for a few days.
Why is the city like this?"
Xiao Rui looked around and saw that the streets were closed and there were no passers-by. He noticed something.
Magistrate Zhang looked helpless and walked forward slowly with Xiao Rui, hoping to take the person back to the county government office.
"Your Majesty, I don't know that there are too many refugees in the city.
It brings the plague, and the lower officials are afraid that the disease will spread.
We had to seal the city gate. If the prince had not insisted on entering the city, I would not have dared to risk my life to let him in."
Xiao Rui naturally didn't believe this rhetoric and rode straight to Ruyi Restaurant.
"I will take care of your matters later.
Now, I, the king, will go to Ruyi Restaurant first.
You and Mr. Sun, go to the county government office and wait for me."
Now that he is in the city, Magistrate Zhang is not afraid that anything will happen to him.
He didn't send anyone to follow him and let Xiao Rui go.
Xiao Rui came to Ruyi Restaurant and flew off his horse.
"Where's the person? Where's Xiao Jingze?"
