Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy
Chapter 151 The mysterious old man
In the damp and dark cell, several people who had already been tempted couldn't wait to tear off Gu Qingzhi's clothes.
Suddenly, an old and strange laugh sounded from the darkness not far away.
"Hehehe...Aren't you tired just standing there doing your work?"
The executioner clicked his tongue impatiently, "What has this got to do with you, you old fool? Just shut up, or I can't guarantee when your next attack will happen."
Unexpectedly, the voice not only did not stop, but instead became louder.
"The girl's hands and feet are tied up, and she's stretched straight. It's not convenient. It would be better to put her down first, and then tie her back after you're done."
"If you make another sound, I will tear your mouth apart right now, do you believe me?"
A cruel official looked outside vigilantly, fearing that someone might have heard him. After making sure that no one was around, he turned around and threatened the old man, but the executioner stopped him.
"Hey, why are you getting mad at a useless person? Put him down."
"But sir, if the eldest master knew about it..."
"The eldest master is busy with affairs and can't come back for a while. Besides, she has shackles on her hands and feet. I have the keys. You and I are grown men, are we afraid of a woman?"
The executioner looked at the beautiful face in front of him with obsession. If he couldn't succeed today, he didn't know how many days and nights he would be anxious and worried. It would be better to do it as soon as possible.
Several cruel officials knew they couldn't persuade him, so they looked at Gu Qingzhi, who had fainted with her eyes closed, and had no choice but to untie the rope.
Several men took her down from the gallows, and the executioner lifted her up onto his shoulders and threw her onto a table filled with torture instruments.
No one cared about the clanking torture instruments scattered all over the ground. Everyone stared at the fat sheep in front of them, swallowing their saliva silently, and imagining the erotic scene that was to follow.
As the superior among the few people, the criminal officer naturally took the lead.
Just as the executioner was about to touch Gu Qingzhi's cheek with his hands, he was suddenly tripped by something, causing him to lose his balance and fall towards the beauty in front of him.
The imagined intimacy did not come true, and what greeted him was a sharp iron spike flashing with cold light.
This was originally prepared for piercing the ears and nose of the victim, but with a "pop" sound, it suddenly pierced into the executioner's left eye.
The bright red blood splattered on the woman's white neck, like a blooming evil red spider lily, making her look like a ghost crawling out of hell.
His eyes, like deep pools, moved, and the chain between the shackles on his hands had already been wrapped around the executioner's neck.
Before he could even scream, the executioner's neck was broken by a huge force. He struggled with his hands for a few times and then stopped moving.
Gu Qingzhi sat up from the table with her hair loose, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
Several cruel officials were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated and drew their swords at their waists to chop at her.
A slight sneer was heard in the air, and the corners of the woman's lips seemed to curl up, but upon closer inspection, she didn't move. Suddenly, she picked up the sulfur powder on the table and threw it at the few people.
Countless powders spread out in an instant, and several people hurried to cover their eyes.
One after another, shrill screams rang out, making the already dark cell even more eerie and terrifying.
When all the powder had fallen, only the last cruel official was left, waving his sword wildly around himself, fearing that the terrifying female ghost would get close to him.
The surroundings became eerily quiet. He didn't dare not open his eyes, but was afraid that the sulfur powder had not yet dispersed. So he only opened half of his eyes tentatively and looked around hazily.
The sight before him frightened him so much that he dropped his sword.
In front of him was the tiger whip used for executions, only, it was now wrapped around the necks of three or four people. No, it wasn't just "wrapped around" them, but those people were "strung" on it.
There was a small hole in their necks that was transparent from front to back, and the long whip was passing through the hole, circling around each person's neck and then entering the next person's neck.
They were all still breathing, and everyone knew exactly what they were like now, but no one had the ability to resist.
Because the whip was in the hands of the female ghost.
He had no time to rejoice because he was the last one.
As the iron spike pierced the neck, the blood once again dyed the beautiful white face even brighter.
Gu Qingzhi slowly tightened the whip in her hand, and the breath of several people stopped.
There was no struggle, it seemed like it was voluntary.
It had been a long time since she had used such a vicious assassination method. It should be said that she had almost never used it in this life, because this was the method she would later use when dealing with treacherous villains for the Left Prime Minister and his son.
It was completely quiet now, with only the sound of her breathing remaining in the cell.
The sulfur on her back still seemed to be torturing her, but she had no time to care.
Now was her only chance to escape.
She took the key to the shackles on her hands and feet from the dead executioner, removed the shackles, straightened her clothes, and tied her hair up again.
After doing this, she picked up a sword and walked into the darkness.
As she got closer, she slowly saw clearly that locked in the corner of the cell was an old man with gray hair, messy beard, and dirty clothes.
He looked extremely weak, as if he might die at any moment, but his arms were completely built into the wall, and his legs and feet were pierced with iron rings and tied to the ground, as if they were extremely afraid that he would escape.
The old man looked at her coming over, his cloudy eyes flashed, and he took a few deep breaths.
"What? Are you going to kill me?"
Gu Qingzhi stood in front of him, the sword in her hand flashing a cold light, but she shook her head.
"No, thank you for helping me."
Then she raised her sword and pointed it at the old man's throat.
"But I don't understand who you are and why you want to help me."
The old man still smiled and shook his head, not afraid of the sword in front of him at all.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What you and Zuo Chengyu just said is very important to me."
Gu Qingzhi frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning of the old man's riddle.
"Girl, I know something that may be of interest to you, but whether I should tell you depends on what you know."
"Except for the corpse buried in the lotus pond, how much do you know about the inner affairs of the Xiangfu?"
Out of caution towards strangers, Gu Qingzhi knew that she shouldn't reveal anything to them casually, but looking at the old man's condition and position, Zuo Xiang and his son seemed to be extremely wary of him.
The wall looked quite old. Some of the soil and rocks near the old man's arm were cracked and covered with moss.
Who on earth deserves to be treated like this? If they are not a big threat to them, then they are their deepest enemy.
"Old man, do you know the Black Snake Head?"
As soon as these three words came out, the smile on the old man's face suddenly disappeared. He stared at Gu Qingzhi for half a minute without saying a word.
To be honest, when Gu Qingzhi asked this, there was actually an element of gambling. If the person in front of her really knew something, that would be the best. If not, she would not be at a loss.
But judging by the old man's expression, he must know.
In the cell, the old man's laughter sounded like a boiling kettle, hoarse and unpleasant.
The old man smiled inexplicably for a while, then tilted his head towards Gu Qingzhi, revealing the black snake head totem behind his ear that she was very familiar with.
"I can't remember how long it has been since I met someone like you, girl. Since you dare to gamble, I will not let you down."
Gu Qingzhi frowned and took two steps back.
Could this person also be the Black Snake Leader? But why was he imprisoned here?
Although she didn't ask, the old man saw her vigilance and just shook his head without any intention of explaining.
"I see that you are quite skilled. As long as you can get me out of here, I promise to give you what you want. How about that?"
