Amidst Xiang Chi's heartbreaking screams, Jiang Wu held a scalpel in her right hand and firmly grasped the dagger in her left hand. She was grabbing the blade, so the palm of her hand was also cut to pieces, but Jiang Wu didn't care.
Xiang Chi scratched his left eye by her and is now lying on the ground wailing.
When he was relaxed, Jiang Wu grabbed the short knife and put his hand on his neck!
In an instant, the situation between the two of them was turned upside down. Almost in the blink of an eye, Jiang Wu strangled Xiang Chi's neck with a short knife from behind, and held up a scalpel as thin as a willow leaf in his other hand.
.
Jiang Wu now has the upper hand.
Because from the beginning, she never thought about using Xiang Chi's short knife. Maybe as the uncle said, Xiang Chi liked her very much, so he didn't hurt her when she was unconscious. What Xiang Chi wanted to see
, a sober Jiang Wu was begging for mercy in front of him, and would even harm himself in order to survive.
This won't be the first time he has used this method. Judging from his proficiency just now, he has at least used this method to intimidate many people, but those people had already been killed by Xiang Chi when they were unconscious.
Their bodies have been damaged, so in such a high-pressure and frightened state, in order to survive, they will indeed do what Xiang Chi said.
Self-mutilation, disfigurement, or even cutting off an arm, as long as you can survive, you can do whatever you want.
Xiang Chi had forgotten that Jiang Wu was the one who dared to shoot down the opponent's hairpin with a knife at the lake party. Or maybe he just underestimated it. All in all, Jiang Wu didn't even waste much time in his counterattack.
Xiang Chi covered his face, which was bleeding. He wailed and uttered some sentences similar to "bitch" in his mouth. Jiang Wu didn't tolerate him at all, and the short knife came closer, "Let me go."
"
Xiang Chi naturally refused, and he shouted bitterly: "Do you think I will let you go like this? Impossible! After today, do you think you can go back with all your hair and tail intact? Ever since I built this dungeon,
, no one can walk out from here!"
Jiang Wu didn't believe it: "Then how did you get out? I don't have time to spend time with you now. If you don't tell me, I will kill you."
Xiang Chi sneered: "You won't survive even if you kill me. You won't be able to get out of here."
Hearing these words, Jiang Wu was upset and angry. She simply acted cruelly, and Xiang Chi's neck began to bleed instantly. Xiang Chi was also a little panicked at that moment. He didn't expect Jiang Wu to be cruel, but he didn't.
I don't know, but Jiang Wu controlled the depth and location of the wound very accurately. Jiang Wu would cause him pain and bleed, but it would not kill him immediately.
Jiang Wu asked impatiently for the last time: "You'd better say everything you need to say right now. I'll put it clearly here today. If your eyes don't stop bleeding, you will probably go blind. But
Before that, I will kill you first."
Xiang Chi paused. Jiang Wu didn't know what was in his mind at this time. She only knew that Xiang Chi suddenly said: "On the northwest side of the first floor."
…
The next day, Fu Heng led his team past the door of Xiang's house. Suddenly he felt a little strange. He turned around and asked, "Is this Xiang's newly appointed official from the capital?"
Ning Lu beside him said: "No, this Xiang family has been in the capital for a few years. He was just an inspector before, and he was promoted to minister a few days ago."
Ning Lu saw that his face seemed worried, and asked, "Do you have any questions, sir? But according to my official opinion, the head of the Xiang family is a cautious person. Even the house was bought in a more remote east part of the city."
Compared with other places, the east part of the city is indeed a little more remote, and the land lease here is also cheaper. Few officials from the capital will choose to buy their houses here because it is too far to go to court and is inconvenient.
Fu Heng frowned for a moment, then got off his horse and was about to enter Xiang's house.
When the servant at the door of Xiang's house saw someone approaching, he hurriedly saluted. After asking for his identity, he was so frightened that he hurried to the courtyard to report.
As soon as Fu Heng entered Xiang's home, he felt the difference between this place and other officials' private residences.
For all Beijing officials, even those with mediocre political achievements, their private residences are full of flowers. It is not a lie to be a magistrate in three years, and one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver is not a lie. What's more, the position of Minister of Households is not high in the capital, but looking at the whole country, the Minister of Household Affairs in the capital is
He is also a master, but the Xiang family's house looks a bit dilapidated.
In fact, it is said that Beijing officials are rich, but in fact the salary issued by the imperial court is not very high. Their income comes from various sources. Excluding those like Fu Heng who were born as the sons of high-ranking officials, but among Beijing officials,
There is no one as...poor as the Xiang family.
There were not many maids along the way. Many of the flowers and plants in the garden were withered, and there were many fallen leaves that had not been swept away on the road. Even the maid who led the way seemed to have bad legs and feet, as if she was a little lame.
The girl led Fu Heng to the study quickly, where Shilang Xiang was already waiting for him. When he just learned that Fu Heng was coming, Shilang Xiang was very panicked. Fu Heng's status in the capital was basically the same as his.
It can be said that there is a difference between clouds and mud. As the saying goes, there is no need to go to the Three Treasures Palace. This Jin Yiwei and a small household servant like him are incompatible with each other.
The head of the Xiang family bowed to Fu Heng with some fear, and Fu Heng nodded lightly. He always disliked red tape, so he spoke directly: "I am here today just to ask you about someone.
"
The head of the Xiang family naturally agreed humbly: "My lord, what you are saying is, if I know who you want to inquire about, I will definitely find him for you."
Fu Heng said arrogantly: "You must know this person - your eldest son, Xiang Chi."
The expression of the head of the Xiang family was stiff for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He said with an apologetic smile: "I don't know something, sir. Quanzi went on a trip with his companions today and has not returned yet. If you have something to tell me, you might as well tell me first."
Officer, I will tell Quanzi again that he will come to apologize."
Fu Heng sneered, summoned the Jin Yiwei, and asked: "I wonder where the eldest son has been traveling? Why did he go out? Is there anyone who can testify for him? If not, then I have no choice but to send the Jin Yiwei to make a big splash in the capital.
I'm looking for someone, if the situation turns out to be something other than that, don't blame me."
When the head of the Xiang family heard this, he was a little panicked. He knelt down quickly with panic on his face: "I don't know what Quanzi did to make Master Fu so unhappy. I will apologize to you on his behalf. It's just this sect."
There is no need for Jinyiwei to find someone, Quanzi is still young and has not yet taken the scientific examination. If this matter is spread out in a jealous way, I am afraid that he will be said to have... bad moral character."
