Chapter 237 She is innocent
Chapter 237 She is innocent
"Qi Shuo, I actually..."
"General!" Song Jiang suddenly walked in and interrupted Cheng Wenwen.
Qi Shuo said to Cheng Wenwen: "I'm going to take care of some things first? You take care of yourself, I'll be with you later!"
Cheng Wenwen nodded and said, "Go ahead! Official business is more important."
In the past few days, Cheng Wenwen was recuperating from her injury, and Qi Shuo had been with her for a long time. He had also been silent for a long time, because he felt very guilty about what had happened to him two days ago. But every time Cheng Wenwen wanted to explain, Qi Shuo interrupted her and told her not to mention it. He also always comforted her and told her not to think about anything.
Cheng Wenwen watched Qi Shuo leave in a hurry, and thought that she would have a good talk with him when he came back, otherwise he would definitely feel uncomfortable if he kept doing this.
When Qi Shuo walked out of the yard, Song Jiang asked, "General, we have captured the people. What should we do with them?"
Qi Shuo's eyes darkened instantly, and he said coldly: "Tell those people in the prison to take good care of them, just don't let them die!"
"Yes!"
Song Jiang had not seen the general so cruel for a long time. Obviously, these people had touched the general's sore spot.
Song Jiang went to do it immediately.
Imprisoned in this endless prison, full of dilapidated bricks and rusty iron bars, a prisoner, his figure looks particularly lonely and fragile in the dim light.
He was tied to the cross, his tired eyes staring forward. The eyes that were once full of life and passion were now empty, but he was still very stubborn, saying something to provoke the jailer: "Kill me if you can! I'm afraid your general is very sad for that young lady? That young lady! She is so beautiful and delicious! Let me have a good time!"
"Shut up! You can't slander the general's wife at will! Beat him up, beat him up hard!"
The jailers were also arranged by Song Jiang. These words immediately reached Song Jiang's ears. After hearing them, Song Jiang hated these bandits very much, and also felt some sympathy for Miss Cheng and the general.
If the general heard these words, he would definitely be very angry. Song Jiang hesitated for a moment, but still told the general these words.
After hearing this, Qi Shuo was really angry and immediately went to the cell to torture these people personally.
.........
The walls of the cell were stained with blood, and the iron chains echoed coldly on the ground. The torture tools were placed messily on the side, and those hideous iron tools seemed to carry the curse of hell, and every edge and corner revealed the cruelty that could not be escaped.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of rust and the saltiness of sweat, mixed with an indescribable smell of pain. This smell was like an invisible yoke, tightly binding the prisoner's mind.
Zhai Yao's breathing became heavy and rapid, and every breath seemed like pain welling up from the bottom of his heart.
Zhai Yao's body was tightly bound to the cross with iron chains, and every struggle only brought him deeper pain.
His back was beaten bloody and every wound told of his pain. His hands were rubbed to pieces by the rough iron chains, and his fingers were covered with deep scars.
His heart became numb and tired in the endless torture, but his eyes were still firm and brave. He did not succumb to this cruel reality, he knew he could not escape, anyway, before becoming a bandit, he had already put life and death aside, but when he really came to death, he was still a little afraid of death.
After all, who wants to die if he can live?
"boom!"
The cell door was suddenly slammed open, with an eerie sound of wind and a frightening chill.
Several jailers came in with ferocious smiles, the tools in their hands flashing coldly under the light. They walked up to Zhai Yao and whipped him hard with whips. Every blow seemed to cut a deep scar on his heart. This was a daily routine. I just didn't know how long these people would torture themselves before they calmed down.
Zhai Yao's body was shaking, his face was full of pain and helplessness, but he still didn't give up. He clenched his teeth and endured this indescribable pain.
As time went by, the torture became more cruel and ruthless. Zhai Yao's body was pulled more painfully by the iron chain, and his back was burned by the branding iron. Each branding was like a deep wound in his heart, and the pain made him unable to breathe.
The air in the cell seemed to freeze, filled with depression and despair.
It was unknown how long the torture lasted, but suddenly the jailers stopped, stepped aside, and respectfully called out, "General!"
"Everyone, step back!" Qi Shuo's cold voice rang out in the cell.
Qi Shuo was in deep darkness, his eyes like two sharp ice swords, staring at Zhai Yao who was struggling.
At that moment, all the resentment, indignation, and anger condensed into thick pain in his eyes. At this moment, he could no longer control his emotions.
He regarded Zhai Yao as the hellfire in purgatory, and now it was burning his hope and the tenderness behind the hope - Cheng Wenwen.
He tortured Zhai Yao mercilessly, like a flame burning in the dark. Zhai Yao was trapped in endless pain, as if he was in a bottomless abyss, surrounded by Qi Shuo's cold and ruthless eyes and words. Every torture was a catharsis for Qi Shuo's pain, and every pain was a punishment for Zhai Yao's crimes.
"You came here for your wife, right? How is she? Are you heartbroken? Or do you hate us bandits for defiling her?" Zhai Yao raised his head, looked at Qi Shuo's cold face, and laughed.
He knew how to touch people's hearts. After all, which man could tolerate his woman being defiled by bandits?
Presumably, even if the woman went back, she would still face the situation of being divorced by this man.
He felt really sorry for that woman. She might as well have followed him!
"Shut up! If I hear you mention him again, your life will be miserable!"
Qi Shuo's voice was like a blade in the cold wind, cold and merciless. His eyes were as piercing as ice, piercing Zhai Yao's heart. He stared at Zhai Yao's hateful face, his eyes full of hatred and anger flashing a dazzling light in the middle of the night.
Zhai Yao's life was in his hands, like an ant being crushed by a huge rock. He felt the overwhelming pain and powerlessness coming from all directions, and every blow was too much for him to bear. He was powerless to resist, and could only let Qi Shuo push him into the abyss of despair again and again.
However, Zhai Yao would never bow his head to anyone even if he died. He continued to laugh and said, "You hypocritical man, you just want to vent your anger on me because your woman was defiled! Come on! Kill me! Kill me and put an end to it all. No matter how much you torture me, your wife's innocence will never be restored!"
"Shut up!" Qi Shuo roared, "You guys deserve to die! But it's so easy to die. I won't let you die so easily!"
His voice echoed in the darkness like thunder, and every word he spoke was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Zhai Yao's heart. His eyes were filled with deep sorrow and anger, as if they were going to tear Zhai Yao's heart apart.
"I will make you pay for your crimes." Qi Shuo said this coldly, and he brought more pain to Zhai Yao again. It was a kind of unforgettable torture and endless abyss of suffering. Only those who were in it could deeply feel the pain and fear like the heat of fire.
Qi Shuo threw away the torture instrument in his hand and was about to leave.
"Wait! Let me tell you the truth for the last time. We didn't touch your wife at all! She is innocent!"
Zhai Yao still had some conscience. He was doomed to die, but he was afraid that the young lady would have a hard time in the future. She didn't seem like the kind of person who would seek death, but if the woman's reputation was damaged, she would probably have a hard time. After all, she had been a little kind to him, and he even ate a bowl of delicious longevity noodles before he died.
Qi Shuo paused when he heard this, "Whether she is innocent or not, I don't mind."
