Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Following the shout, a young man in white linen clothes and with a frightened face ran into the county government office.

Several yamen runners ran out of the classroom, and the younger ones shouted at the young man.

"What for!"

"Rush to the county government office and break into the empty door..."

Before the young yamen runner could finish his words, he was pulled aside by the middle-aged yamen runner behind him.

"My humble eyes, can't you see that this young man is wearing the clothes of a servant of the Lang Mansion?"

The middle-aged yamen runner scolded his men and then bowed slightly to the young man.

"Hey bro, I seemed to hear you shouting that something was on fire..."

The young man was none other than Zhang Erhe, who was transformed by Lu You.

Hearing the bailiff's question, he hurriedly shouted anxiously.

"My young master's funeral hall is on fire, go and inform my master!"

Fire in the funeral hall?

When the bailiff heard this, his face changed drastically and he quickly ran towards the county government office.

"Lord Lang is in the dungeon right now, come with me!"

Lu You said nothing and hurriedly ran after him.

The dungeon was built inside the county government office. The two men walked through the lobby of the county government office, ran towards the small door on the left, and rushed directly into the dungeon along the stairs.

The jailer who was guarding the cell door wanted to ask, but the runner was an acquaintance after all. Seeing the other party's panic, he knew that something big must have happened, so he opened the door and let him go.

Lu You followed the bailiff into the dungeon and was secretly frightened all the way.

She knew before that the ancient dungeon was very complicated, but now that she entered it in person, she was still shocked by its design.

The entrance to the dungeon was next to the lobby of the county government office. There were yamen runners stationed in the government office, and there were jailers guarding the dungeon door.

The corridor going down was only one person high, and even two people walking side by side were very crowded. She could only follow the yamen runner forward.

Not only that, there are actually two narrow doors in this corridor.

Those two narrow doors can only allow one person to pass through. If a fat person comes through, he will probably have to pass through sideways.

If someone were to storm this place and break into the prison, they would probably die without knowing how!

Sure enough, movies and TV dramas are all lies!

The two of them walked through the corridor and came into the dungeon, which was very spacious.

As soon as he entered, Lu You looked at the cells on both sides for any trace of Lu Ming.

The bailiff ran straight to the innermost interrogation cell and reported loudly.

"Master Lang! Someone is coming to your house and says there is something urgent!"

At this time, County Magistrate Lang was sitting on a chair, watching the jailer torturing the man with his lawyer. When he heard the words of the bailiff, he immediately looked at the door.

At this time, Lu You also came to the door, and at a glance he saw Lu Ming, who was tied to a cross wooden frame and beaten beyond recognition.

At this time, Lu Ming's upper body clothes had been whipped into rags, and the exposed skin was all rolled up and torn.

Blood flowed down his body, staining his pants black and red.

What shocked Lu You the most was that there were four or five overlapping burn marks on Lu Ming's chest.

Those are the marks left by the soldering iron!

In just half a day, what kind of punishment did Lu Ming go through?

Lu You was staring blankly when she saw that County Magistrate Lang had stood up and walked in front of her.

"Tell me quickly! What happened at home?"

Lu You came back to his senses and looked at County Magistrate Lang in a daze.

"Home...yes..."

"Master! The young master's funeral hall was set on fire!"

"What?" County Magistrate Lang shouted, "Take me there!"

As he said this, he was about to pull Lu You to run outside, but at this time Lu You resisted the urge to stab him, his legs went weak, and he fell directly to the ground.

"Master, my legs are weak! I can't run anymore..."

Seeing Lu You like this, County Magistrate Lang thought that his servant was frightened silly by the deer's cry.

"Useless things!"

He kicked Lu You on the shoulder, then turned around and ran outside.

Master Xia beside him turned his head and looked at the jailer next to him.

"Continue torturing him until he reveals the location of his accomplice!"

Then the lawyer turned around and looked at the bailiff who brought Lu You in.

"Go and call all the yamen runners on duty, and come with me to Lang Mansion to put out the fire!"

The bailiff hurriedly obeyed the order and ran out with the master without paying any attention to the deer on the ground.

Lu You sat on the ground, just quietly watching County Magistrate Lang and others leave through the dungeon corridor, and finally heaved a long sigh of relief.

She had the chance to kill County Magistrate Lang just now, but if she really did it, there would be chaos inside and the jailers and bailiffs outside would definitely seal the dungeon.

By then, it will be impossible to run away again.

He ordered Lang Mansion to come and inform the enemy, all of which was done to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Only when the county government is empty can Lu You's rescue plan succeed.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.

Seeing that County Magistrate Lang and the legal advisor had all left, the jailer finally stopped being so reserved.

The jailer sat on the chair and looked at Lu You with pride.

"What? Are you scared now?"

"I only had time to use a few of these torture methods. There are still dozens of tricks left to try."

"Normally there aren't many visitors to my dungeon. It's fate that you're here today. I'll treat you to a free show."

The jailer said this as if showing off, and then pointed to a row of long nails on the table next to him.

The two jailers who were torturing him understood and picked up the long nails and the hammer beside them.

The jailer said with a smile.

"These bone-piercing nails are used to penetrate bones. Even the most stubborn prisoners will beg for mercy if they encounter them."

As he spoke, the old man waved his hand gently, and the two jailers who were about to torture him were about to start with Lu Ming.

But at this moment, Lu You patted his clothes and stood up.

"Wait a minute, let me show you something."

The jailer looked at Lu You and saw that his face looked normal without any sign of panic or fear. He felt that something was wrong but couldn't put his finger on it.

"what?"

Lu You came to the jailer and spoke softly.

"This is it!"

Lu You held his right hand empty, moved his arm backward, and then pushed it forward suddenly.

Just when the jailer was confused, a short knife with a cold glow suddenly appeared in Lu You's hand.

puff……

With a slight sound, Lu You stabbed the short knife in his hand diagonally into the old man's heart.

Such a sudden scene frightened the other two jailers.

Lu You, who was well prepared, did not stop at all. He let go of the short blade, turned around, took out a sword from thin air and slashed at the necks of the two men.

After just one encounter, Lu You easily dealt with the person.

The second man finally reacted at this time. He threw the hammer in his hand at Lu You and was about to inform the jailer outside.

"Robbery..."

But how could Lu You give him a chance?

The man just shouted one word, and Lu You swung his knife and cut off his neck.

Looking at the headless corpse spraying blood mist and falling to the ground, Lu You suppressed the churning in his stomach and came to Lu Ming's side.

"Luming! I'm late..."
