"I heard that Zhong Hanshan was arrested!"

Yuanxiu was startled, and let go of her hand.

Hongyu lowered her eyes and landed on her loosened hand, her originally excited mood became depressed for some reason, as if she felt that this was actually not worth celebrating.

"Miss?"

Yuanxiu had already turned her back, bent down to pick up the scriptures from the ground, and swept the dust off her face, "When did it happen?"

"It should be last night."

"What did he say?"

"I heard that he is very tight-lipped, no matter how hard he tortured him, he refused to speak. He didn't pry out anything of value all night." Hongyu took two steps forward and poured a cup of tea for Yuanxiu.

Yuan Xiu didn't raise her head, "Drink it, it's been hard work all the way here."

It was only then that Hongyu realized that a thin layer of sweat had formed on her body. At this time, the clothes were coldly stuck to her back, making her a little uncomfortable.

Her body is not fully recovered, and she is still a little weak at this moment.

The master and servant have a deep friendship, they are much stronger than others, and Yuan Xiu has already spoken, and Hongyu no longer hesitates, drinking a cup of hot tea makes her whole body warm up.

"Miss, what about us?" Hongyu tentatively asked, she thought that after waiting for many days, she finally got the news that Yuanxiu would immediately go to see Zhong Hanshan and ask him for news.But she never imagined that Yuanxiu would sit there so calmly, as calm as the past twelve days.

"No rush." ​​As he said, Yuanxiu turned a page of scriptures in his hand, "Learn to wait."

Hongyu was puzzled, but she still waited as Yuanxiu said.

But what was she waiting for? Even two days later, she followed Yuan Xiu to the county government office, but she still didn't understand what Yuan Xiu meant.

"Miss, what do you want me to wait for?"

Yuan Xiu frowned, sighed and said, "I thought I could wait for that person's confession, but I didn't expect that he is really strong and strong, and he never let go of his mouth for two days. I should have thought of it earlier."

When they came to the county government office, they were ready to be stopped, but they didn't expect that someone came up to greet them as soon as they got off the carriage.

"I've been waiting for a long time, Miss Yuan, please follow me." The yamen servant made a gesture of invitation, but Yuan Xiu did not move.

"I haven't seen you before, why did you wait here so early?"

The yamen servant said respectfully, "Young Master Zhao told me to wait here, and when Miss Yuan comes, I will take you to the place you want to go."

"How do you know when I'm coming?"

"Because I don't know, on the day the thief was imprisoned, Mr. Zhao had already instructed the younger one."

Yuan Xiu's face was flat, but his eyes moved, obviously thoughtful, "Lead the way."

The yamen servant nodded, and led the way three steps in front of Yuanxiu.Even in a small place like Qingyun County, even if it is not used much on weekdays, dungeons will be built.Different from ordinary prison cells, the dungeon is gloomy and cold, located underground, and there is only one passage to leave, and this passage is heavily guarded, making it difficult to escape.

When they arrived, the yamen servants showed their tokens, and the gatekeepers put away the knives in their hands, and made way to the side for the three of them to pass through.

The yamen servant stood at the door, and Ti Yuanxiu pushed open the wooden door of the dungeon, but did not move forward: "Miss Yuan, the little one will be sent here. If you need anything, just speak out. The little one will stay here and wait for you to come out."

"Alright, Hongyu, you stay here too."

Hongyu shook her head vigorously, pursed her lips and looked at Yuanxiu, "Miss, as long as Hongyu is still by your side, no matter where you go, Hongyu will follow you."

Yuan Xiu's heart softened, "It's up to you."

As soon as she stepped into the dungeon, Yuan Xiu felt cold all over her body.

The dungeon was built underground and made of stone, so it was cold in winter and cool in summer.

It's winter now, even though Yuanxiu is wearing a soft, thick fox fur, she still can't help pulling her collar.

The dungeon has not been used for many years, and it is empty inside, and there is a rotten smell, mixed with fishy smell, which is very pungent.

"What's this smell?" Hongyu's voice echoed in the dungeon, and suddenly there was a clanging sound of chains coming from nowhere, which startled the master and servant.

"Who!"

Yuan Xiu pulled off the ruby ​​and pointed to the end of the dungeon.Even in the dark surroundings, one can still see the faint figure inside through the wooden gate.As he got closer, he was even more surprised to find that his body was covered with iron chains, piercing his body with sharp iron hooks, and the blood slowly flowed out from the wound, drying and wet on the tattered clothes, covering Layer after layer of red and black stains.

Yuanxiu looked at the criss-cross wounds on his body, and involuntarily stroked her cheek with her fingers, the slight protrusion on it made her feel a stab in the heart.

"It hurts?"

The man was silent, and the chains on his body rang again.

"Have you ever regretted it?" Yuan Xiu looked at him and said softly.

Perhaps these words touched him, and Zhong Hanshan finally raised his head slowly.

The author has something to say: I will work the night shift tomorrow and get home early in the morning, so I won’t update it

Chapter 81

"Based on your ability, even if you don't become a bandit, you can get by with a good job. Why bother to turn into a bandit and do such evil things. With your current sins, I'm afraid you can only die." Yuanxiu didn't know why Will say these things to him, strictly speaking, they are still enemies.After all, it was Zhong Hanshan and his restless subordinates who kidnapped her twice.

But her hatred for Zhong Hanshan is not strong.

"This is the end of the matter, so why do you need to mention it again?" Zhong Hanshan's body was covered with keel locks, which were deeply dug into his body. When he spoke, he was involved in many wounds, and couldn't help coughing.

But even coughing couldn't relieve the pain on his body. The fishy smell in the dungeon became more and more intense. It was the newly scabbed wound on his body that was broken again, and the blood that flowed out soaked the wound. Zhong Hanshan could feel the wound coming from the wound. The sting.

But these are nothing to him.The continuous torture in the past two days has made him a little numb.

"That's right, it's useless to talk too much."

Yuanxiu stood in the same place, waiting quietly for a while, until Zhong Hanshan stopped coughing, she said again: "Have you caught up with her?"

"Are you referring to the person who took away the third child and added w?" Zhong Hanshan was silent for a moment, as if he was recalling something, "He is very flexible, even if he was injured like that, he still escaped from my hands, if it wasn't for his position at that time , I might sit down with him and talk."

His words contained many things, like regret, remorse, and relief.

At first hearing Yuanxiu, she was a little puzzled.

"If I had seen him earlier, I wouldn't have done such a cruel thing. I don't know how he is now? I'm staying in this dark place now. I don't know how long I can live. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see him again." .He really looks like..." He started to speak in a low voice, and finally it was almost like a murmur.Even though Yuan Xiu stood five steps in front of him, she couldn't hear the last half of the sentence clearly.

"What does she look like?" Yuan Xiu unconsciously took another step closer, with her fingers on the wooden pillar, she asked urgently.

Hongyu hurriedly followed her, approached Yuanxiu, and whispered: "Miss, this person is extremely vicious, it's better for us to stay away."

"No problem."

Yuan Xiu stared at that place, "You haven't answered me yet."

"Girl, it was my idea to take you captive back then. I wanted to use you in exchange for my second brother, but I didn't know that he had already died in this prison. If I had gotten the news earlier, I might have already disbanded." Brother, it won’t let them lose their lives for no reason.” Zhong Hanshan didn’t reply to Yuanxiu’s words, but said another thing to himself, “If you find him, tell him well for me. I'm sorry."

"At the beginning, when I was young and vigorous, I committed a crime, and I was escorted to this place, where the yamen guards bàonüè, and lynchings continued. I was dissatisfied, and I killed both of them here. After that, I became a bandit and hijacked passing cars and horses. At my age The longest, they pushed me to be the big brother, and they agreed to share the blessings, so I, the later big brother, should let them order. But I didn't expect that I would cause such a big trouble, but after all these years, I But I have never regretted it. If the second brother was not reckless, how would I have met her. Even if I just saw her from a distance, I would be full of joy..."

Hongyu tugged at Yuanxiu's sleeve, a little scared.

In this dim dungeon with gusty winds, a man covered in blood was chattering, no wonder Hongyu felt creepy.

Yuan Xiu wanted to ask him something more, but Zhong Hanshan never answered her again.

He seems to be looking back on the past 20 years, those bloody past, talking about one thing after another that is obviously strange but familiar.When it came to the point of interest, she stopped and laughed twice, which made Yuanxiu shudder for no reason. Only then did she realize that even if the other party hadn't hurt her, it was a man with innocent blood on his hands. Butcher.

Yuanxiu knew that she couldn't ask any more questions.

"Red, let's go."

When Yuanxiu bent down and got out of the dungeon, she heard intermittent singing from inside.The voice was as gentle as water, and it was hard to imagine that it came from the mouth of a rough man.But there is only one person in the dungeon...
