After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 366 Searching the Land of Luzuo

After Shen Nanzhi heard what he said, he was silent for a while and said, "You won't really abide by this ancestral precept, will you?

Haven't you heard a saying? Rules are meant to be broken, bottom lines are meant to be lowered, and the ancestral teachings are just for reference. You only need to strictly abide by them when they are in your own interests. Everything else is bullshit.

Anyone who disagrees can go downstairs and talk to the ancestors."

Qi Yunxu: “…”

I knew she was unruly and unruly, but I didn't expect her to be so unruly. The imperial power was nothing in her eyes.

"Um, you haven't seen the little emperor?"

"No, a child can't achieve anything. Even if he becomes the emperor, he is just a puppet. What do I do to him?"

"You will understand my position when you see me. Do you want me to be the emperor?"

"No, dogs don't do that. I don't mean that. I just think this ancestral teaching is bullshit. Anyone who listens to it is a fool."

Qi Yunxu sighed and said, "You are the only one who can say this to me. If it were someone else, they would lose their heads."

"Should I thank you for your tolerance?"

"What do you think?"

"Thank you then."

"You're welcome."

The two of them laughed as they talked. Shen Nanzhi admired Qi Yunxu more and more. If she really chose a husband, he might be the best one.

Although he does not agree with some of my ideas, he will support and tolerate them. He will not be a male chauvinist and force me to accommodate him.

Between a man and a woman, one of them always has to give in. If both of them can be tolerant and understanding, then it would be a perfect marriage.

If only one person gives in, while the other keeps asking for more, they will get tired eventually, and the ending will be tragic.

After chatting all the way, when they arrived at Luzuo, they stopped tacitly and observed for a while. Only when they found nothing unusual did they approach.

There is a tall gate and a duty room here. The guards work in shifts day and night to guard the criminals inside and not let them out.

At this time, the lights in the duty room were still on, and several guards were drinking. There were two plates of peanuts and boiled broad beans on the table. They had been drinking for a while.

One of them seemed to be the leader, with a gloomy face, just drinking one sip at a time. The people below advised him: "Boss, drink less. The situation is tense recently. You have to be careful."

"Hey, it looks like the higher-ups are targeting us. Our good days are over. Tomorrow I'm going to tell them I'm quitting and going back home. I can't do this job anymore."

The people below looked at each other and said, "No, boss, if you leave, what are we going to do? This isn't the first time this has happened, haven't we been here every time?

Is it because a few managers came today to select people? This is also normal. "

"You are also careless. What is the situation in the capital now? People are in a panic. Who wouldn't close their doors and windows for fear of causing trouble?

Is it normal to pick people at this time?

You should listen to me and find a way out as soon as possible. You have earned enough money over the years. If you are greedy, you will bear the consequences at your own risk.

Keep an eye on it, I'm going to take a nap."

Several guards looked at each other and came out to discuss, "If you suddenly give up your job, how will your family survive?"

"That's right, it's easy for the boss to say. Every time he takes the big share, we just have to eat the soup. Can we be as wealthy as him?"

"He just walked away and left us to take the blame. What should we do?"

"or……"

One of them had a ferocious look on his face and made a cutting motion. The others hesitated for a while and did not express their opinions.

"He can leave if he wants to. We can let him go, but what about the people above? After doing these things, they have to go down this path to the end. The boss still hasn't figured it out. He has lived to such an old age in vain."

"You're right. You do it. Without a leader, we have to choose a new one. We choose you."

"Okay, you said that yourself, but you have to help. Don't think you can get away with it. What we did is the dirty work of giving birth to a child without an anus. No one can be a good person."

"Okay, we'll help."

But when they went in, they were stunned. The drunken head sleeping on the bed was gone!

"What about people?"

Several people felt a chill on their backs and their heartbeats quickened. They thought they were dazzled and rubbed their eyes, but there was still no one there.

Why are they so big?

"Will the boss find us?"

"What should I do?"

"Look for it. The boss must die."

Being controlled in the dark by Qi Yunxu, listening to his subordinates discussing how to kill his leader, he was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he wanted to jump out and kill these bastards first.

Unfortunately, Qi Yunxu didn't give him a chance and left with his men.

After returning to the Regent's Palace and being thrown into the dungeon, Ling Feng took out various torture instruments, each of which was stained with blood and minced meat, and just looking at them was enough to make people heartbroken.

"You, who are you? Why are you arresting me? I am from the imperial court!"

Qi Yunxu and Shen Nanzhi walked out together. They looked extraordinary and said, "You know you are from the imperial court? Confess what you have done, or wait until I torture you before you speak?"

"You, who are you?"

The servants brought them chairs, prepared tea and snacks, and made the dim and cold dungeon look like a reception hall.

Ling Feng said: "So that you can die knowingly, this is the regent king, and it is a great honor for your ancestors to be able to interrogate you personally."

"What? Why would the Regent interrogate a mere pawn of mine?"

"Isn't this just a coincidence? Tell me, where is Miss Shen hiding?"

The man rolled his eyes and tried to quibble. Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Why don't you let me do it? I haven't interrogated the prisoner yet."

"Okay, play as you please."

Qi Yunxu's doting eyes made his subordinates bow their heads. Could the Regent be a homosexual? No wonder Lord Nanzhi could be the deputy chief minister. It turned out that she was the prince's forbidden lover.

Shen Nanzhi didn't know that he was misunderstood. Of course, it wouldn't matter even if he knew. Which noble family doesn't play dirty?

"First have him hung up, head downwards."

The person was not tied to a cross as in normal interrogation procedures, but was hung upside down with his head down.

"Do you know why you're being hung? With your head facing downward, all the pressure is on your brain. Within half an hour, your entire face will be filled with blood and your brain will be boiling. At this point, all it takes is a small cut and your blood will spurt all over the floor.

But you won't die. On the contrary, you will feel very comfortable because the pressure is reduced. You won't die until all the blood in your body is drained. This process will last for three days and three nights. Let's take it slow. I'll also test your limit."

The man's face turned even redder. How could this handsome boy be so cruel?

Ling Feng and others touched their noses and dared not look at her. She could think of such a vicious move, which was much more powerful than whipping and sprinkling salt water.

"I said."

"Don't be so anxious to tell me. I haven't made any cuts yet. What if you want to save yourself some trouble by lying to me?"

Shen Nanzhi took out a small knife, the kind used by Western medicine, and cut a line on his forehead. Blood dripped down his head.

"Record how much blood he loses in one night. You are sleepy, go back to sleep."

"No, don't go. I'll confess. I'll confess everything. I promise it's all the truth. Please don't go."

Shen Nanzhi felt a little regretful: "Is that all? Oh, you're disturbing my sleep, so I'll take it."

"What do you want to know?"

"Do I need to ask you this? Don't you know that you have done something bad? You are worse than your subordinate. He at least knows that what he did will result in him giving birth to a child without an anus and dying a miserable death. How could you not have this awareness?"

"Okay, I'll tell you. You can't blame me for this. Ever since I entered the Wucheng Army, my superiors have been leading me to do this. I don't want to do this either, but if I don't do it, they will kill me."

"I understand. We can't resist. We can only join in. With everyone colluding, no one is innocent and no one can escape."

"Yes, you are absolutely right. We will take out the good-looking children from inside and sell them to the people above.

They will also help them hide the children they have abducted, waiting for enough children to be sent out of the city."

"Who is the leader?"

"I don't know. I only know that a child gave me ten taels of silver. I took five taels and the rest was distributed to the servants. They all wore black robes and covered their faces. Their heights were different every time. How could I know?"

Shen Nanzhi was just a low-level person doing dirty work, so he didn't expect to get any clues. "Where is Miss Shen hiding?"

"In Awen's house, he has a seriously ill sister named Ayu, who is about the same age as Miss Shen. Even if someone comes to search, she can replace her sister and will not be found."

"Lead the way."

We gathered people overnight and moved them away for fear of disturbing them.

Duke Shen was also called in to rescue his daughter, and he was needed to take the lead so that he would not be blamed if anything unexpected happened.

Qi Yunxu did not follow, as he still had to stabilize the capital, investigate which family had unusual movements, and find out who was behind it.

Duke Shen was extremely worried and asked, "Brother Nan, is the news accurate?"

"We are 80% sure. We have overlooked this place. I have already had the exit sealed. Don't worry, brother. I will definitely rescue my niece."

She took on the role of sworn brother very naturally, An Xin and An Ning looked puzzled. How would Duke Shen feel when he knew the girl's identity in the future?

Duke Shen was very excited now. He followed his leader's instructions and found Awen's house. The noise was so loud that it alarmed Awen.

They surrounded Awen's shabby shack, but Awen took a sharp kitchen knife, put it on Shen Ke Ning's neck, hid behind her, and took Shen Ke Ning hostage.

When Shen Kening saw her biological father, she shouted excitedly: "Dad, you finally came to save me, I was so scared!"

"Let go of my daughter and I will spare your life."

Duke Shen didn't get excited and talk nonsense to her. It wouldn't be too late to rescue the people first.

Ah Wen grinned: "If I let her go, how can I still live? I have a worthless life, and in exchange for a rich lady to be buried with me, I'm making a profit.

Such a beautiful lady, of noble status, a pampered daughter of heaven, and of the same age as me. It would be a wonderful thing for us to be husband and wife in the underworld.

Haha, Duke, I can still call you father-in-law! "

"You are presumptuous!"

Shen Nanzhi held Duke Shen's shoulders and said, "I'll do it. Calm down."

"Awen, right? I know you have a younger sister, her name is Ayu, right?

I can see that you are not a bad person. Let's make a deal. I save your sister, and you release Miss Shen. I will leave you an intact body. What do you think?"

Awen's eyes flickered. "Who are you? Can you make the decision?"

"I am the regent's man. I can make the decision. I can also guarantee that your sister will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life and live happily until she dies."

"How can I believe you? You are all liars. My sister suffers from a heart disease, which is incurable."

"How could that be? The doctors here are all mediocre. The imperial doctors in the palace are different. Even for heart disease, there are many types and many ways to prolong life.

You are a good brother if you can think of your sister. You don't want your sister to see her brother as a bloody executioner, right?"

Shen Nanzhi started with his sister. People who grew up in such an environment are either kind-hearted, have their own weaknesses, and care particularly about family affection.

Or they are cold-blooded and heartless, only caring about themselves and not hesitating to sacrifice anyone, including their family and friends.

She has learned from the boss that Awen and his sister have been dependent on each other for many years, and Awen cares about his sister the most.

Shen Kening suddenly stopped crying, wiped her tears and said: "Awen, I know you are a good person. If you let me go, I will ask my father to forgive you. I will keep my word. My father loves me the most and will definitely help you.

I can also redeem you all, arrange identities for you, and let you live a good life.

Don’t you want your sister to get out of here and see the beautiful scenery of the capital?”

Duke Shen was in mixed emotions, his daughter had grown up after experiencing this incident, but the price of growing up like this was too high, and he felt heartbroken.

Ah Wen was a little moved and moved the kitchen knife away, "Ms. Shen, you are a good person..."

"Ah, I'm a good person. This is the first time I've heard someone say that. Do you believe me?"

The light in Shen Kening's eyes was pure and kind, without a trace of darkness, which made Awen dazed for a moment. At that moment, Shen Nanzhi suddenly made a move, hugged Shen Kening in his arms, and pushed Awen away with one hand.

After spinning her around a few times, he returned to Duke Shen's side, and Awen's hostage was gone.

"Ning'er, Daddy is scared to death."

"Dad, I was scared to death too. I'm sorry. It's all because of my willfulness."

Shen Nanzhi stared at Awen, not knowing how to deal with this person for a moment.

Ah Wen laughed loudly: "You nobles who are so high and mighty are really insidious and cunning. You have been deceiving me from the beginning, right?

It's ridiculous that I actually believed it. Why should I continue to believe you evil people who eat people without leaving any bones?"

Shen Nanzhi sighed and said, "Just surrender. What I promised you is still valid."

"No, I don't believe you."

Shen Ke Ning suddenly took two steps forward and said, "Awen, I know you are a good person. You didn't beat me or abuse me these days. You even gave me your rations so that I could have enough to eat. Thank you.

Put down the knife, I will let my father save you and Yu, please believe me!"

Awen's hands dropped, and Shen Kening actually wanted to get closer and take his knife away.

Shen Nanzhi was speechless. This young lady was really so naive that she was almost stupid. Did she want to influence him?
