Chapter 68 Anti-guest

Xu Jinghong's original intention was to live in this prison for a few days. Even if he suffered some hardships, he would admit it. As long as he finally found out that he was indeed confirmed at that time that it was impossible to destroy the Fang family, he could go out. So when he was taken to this torture room for torture, he still wanted to be patient. But the other party's action is really too vicious. If they really let them do it, I'm afraid that he will be seriously injured or even disabled if he doesn't die, then he will really be a knife and I will be a fish.

When he figured this out, Xu Jinghong gave up his previous plan to retreat and resisted instead. Although he had been hungry for two days and his physical strength had been greatly reduced, his pure internal strength was still there, which was stronger than when he was in the mine that day. Therefore, under his full exertion, the scaffold made of hard wood could not withstand his reaction and broke. And Xu Jinghong himself fell to the ground because he suddenly lost his balance, which was not embarrassing.

When did the jailers around see such a situation? How powerful it took for the tortured people to destroy the scaffold abruptly, which made them a little stunned in a short time and didn't know what to do. Until King Zhong Yan woke up and shouted, "Why don't you take down for me!" After that, they waved the stick and whip in their hands to surround it.

But this short distraction is enough for Xu Jinghong to adjust his state to meet the next battle. When they rushed up, Xu Jinghong turned slightly and flashed two whips, and several sticks only made a muffled sound on his body, which could not hurt his skin at all. At the same time, he also launched a counterattack, and the chain tied to his hands was slammed out by him. Although it was only two feet long, it still hit a man in the chest, who immediately fell to the ground and fainted.

It's also because the people in the prison despised Xu Jinghong's ability too much. Thinking that he was a teenager, and there was no resistance after being taken, he just casually tied it to his hands and feet without any restrictions. As a result, although Xu Jinghong has been restricted in his actions, he is still more than enough to deal with the few jailers in front of him.

However, when they looked at him, those jailers who had just been aggressive and wanted to take Xu Jinghong back were knocked to the ground by him. Some people fainted because they were hit by him, and some rolled on the ground and screamed. Unfortunately, because the sound insulation effect of this execution room is very good, no matter what they call, the people outside did not rush to see the situation. At most, they only thought that they were tortured too much by them and screamed.

And Xu Jinghong didn't want to make things difficult to deal with, so he made mercy. Otherwise, with the ability of these people, it is probably impossible for people who have fallen to the ground to make any more noises, and even their lives can't be saved. Now they have just suffered some skin injuries or bone dislocation, which is already a big deal.

Seeing that Xu Jinghong quickly cleaned up seven or eight jailers after getting out of trouble, King Zhong Yan couldn't believe his eyes. When he was sure that it was true, he found that only he and Xu Jinghong were standing in this room. This time, the king of death, who would not blink even if the other party was beaten in a human form, suddenly changed his color. Without thinking much, he turned around and rushed to the door. At this time, all he had left in his mind was to escape. The farther away from the fierce guy, the better.

But Xu Jinghong would not let him escape. When he was about to open the door, he knocked the teacup that Zhong Yan had just drunk and put on the table with the chain on his hand, hitting the other party's back door. In pain, King Zhong Yan's footsteps collapsed in front of the door, and Xu Jinghong then came to his side and stared at him with cold eyes.

"What...do you want to do? This is the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Even if you kill us, you can't escape..." Although there is a threat in his words, from the tone of King Zhong Yan, he is still afraid.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Xu Jinghong stretched out his hand and picked him up from the ground to make him closer to himself. After staring at him for a long time and making him even more afraid, he continued, "However, if you don't cooperate with me, I will definitely make your life worse than death!"

"I..." Zhong Yanwang wanted to be a little tougher, but he was looked at like this, but he still didn't have the courage to say harsh words. He is just cruel to others, and when it comes to the end, the protection of himself becomes the first priority: "What do you want me to cooperate with? I don't have the right to let you out of here."

"If I want to go out, do I still need your help? I don't even have to come in." Xu Jinghong said confidently, but it was also true.

"So...what do you want?"

"Who wants you to torture me like this?" Xu Jinghong asked directly.

"This..." King Zhong wanted to find some excuses, such as the rules in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but under the pressure of the other party, he finally dared not lie and said honestly, "That's the above meaning. They said that you had committed a great crime and offended the powerful in the court. It would be best if you could justify your crime this time, otherwise... otherwise..."

"Otherwise, will you take my life?" Seeing that he didn't dare to finish his words, Xu Jinghong added a word for him.

"Yes. They also said that it is common for a person to suddenly kill in prison, so let us go and do it.

"Who is the person who asked you to do this?" Xu Jinghong suppressed his anger and asked.

"Of course, it's the black boss here. After he nodded, we dared to commit crimes against people."

Xu Jinghong nod his head slightly and then set it up: "Let's go and take me to see the black boss. I have something to ask him."

"He is not here now..." King Zhong Yan became extremely cooperative at this time, and even Xu Jinghong said what he didn't ask: "He said that he would wait until the evening to see if you had confess..."

"Very good." Xu Jinghong patted the other party's cheek with satisfaction: "In that case, let's wait here. I think he will come without me in prison."

"I guess...yes." Zhong Yanwang said with a bitter face. He knew that his errand was completely finished, but losing his errand was better than losing his life. The murderous spirit emitted by the teenager just now was so heavy that he did not dare to doubt that he would suffer if he didn't tell the truth.

The execution room soon quieted down, and there was no movement except for those who were injured who kept moaning. Xu Jinghong sat in the chair of King of the Red just now with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep. But Zhong Yan, who stood beside him, did not dare to do anything, because the other party's hand had always been holding his pulse door.

About two hours later, there was a door call from outside. At the sign of Xu Jinghong, Zhong Yanwang opened the heavy iron door. Then a black and thin figure appeared in front of the door. The man didn't wait to see the situation clearly and asked, "Lao Zhong, it's been a few hours. Haven't you asked anything yet? This man really can stand the toss..." Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated, but he had found that the situation was not good.

He moves faster, but Xu Jinghong is faster than him. Because the latter moved with momentum, as soon as he saw that the other party intended to retreat, he had pushed hard, pushed the king of the bell and pushed him straight and hit the black thin man. Then he also rushed out of the execution room and forced away several people who came forward to hinder him by waving the chain chain that had been untied in his hand. After that, he stretched out his hand again and grabbed the black thin man's throat: "Black boss?"

The black boss was shocked, and then spit out words from his throat with difficulty: "Are you Xu Jinghong?" His appearance is much calmer than that of Boss Zhong just now. Even when his life is at the hands of others, he is still not in a hurry.

"That's good. I didn't expect that the person you wanted to kill took you down first." Xu Jinghong said easily as he stopped the jailers who wanted to come up to rescue with his eyes.

"What...do you want?" Because he had been clasped by the throat, the black boss's voice began to have some problems.

"Of course, I want to protect my safety, so I have to wrong you." Xu Jinghong laughed, and then pulled Zhong Yanwang and the black boss into the execution room one by one.

"You can't get out." After entering here, Xu Jinghong let go of the hand on the black boss's throat and pressed it on his shoulder so that the latter could continue to speak.

"Of course I know this, but you don't think I'll let you go." Xu Jinghong smiled indifferently and was very calm.

"Do you want to be so exhausting? Aren't you afraid that they will call soldiers to kill you?"

"I heard that you are the only one in this prison. These people are very obedient to you. Now that you are in my hands, how can they call people at the risk of you being killed by me?" Xu Jinghong's words deliberately raised his voice, but it was to remind those people outside that if there is any move, it will harm their own stewart.

At this time, the black boss really doesn't know what to say. After a long time, he said, "You must already know our attitude, right? I also had to do this because of the above.

"Is it as incorruptible as asking you to do this?" Xu Jinghong asked. The other party was stunned, but he was asked, but he already knew that his guess was correct, which made a trace of murder in his heart.

"It is because I know that you were ordered to do so that I didn't do anything to you. But you should also make me compensate." After a while, Xu Jinghong said again, "Listen, people outside, if you want your officer to be fine, just bring all my brothers here. Also, we haven't eaten and drank for two days to prepare some food and drinks.

These words surprised everyone inside and outside. At this time, he was still thinking about his brother, but he was still thinking about eating and drinking. How can he not take this seriously? But now the situation is favorable to Xu Jinghong, and they dare not disove. In just half an hour, everything he wanted was sent.

The brothers did not suffer, but they were a little weak because of the water and rice. When they ate the food and drinks sent by the jailers, they recovered a certain amount of strength. Of course, before they enjoyed the food, they had to make mice for the sake of safety. After confirming that there was no problem, everyone cleaned all the food.

"If we had known that we would be treated like this by them, we shouldn't have been caught by them." Xiong Geng said annoyanly when he was full. His words attracted many people's approval, and they have been angry these days.

"I didn't think about it and thought they didn't dare to do anything to us. Now it seems that someone is not going to attack me through the right way. Xu Jinghong said, "But it doesn't matter. Are we not good now? And I think there must be a lot of people outside to save us. In two days, someone should start to take action.

"The team said..." Wang Liehai quickly guessed something, but after looking at the few prisoners beside him, he still didn't finish his words.

"Exactly, their strength is not weak, and they should save us." Xu Jinghong is full of confidence.

At this time, the black boss and the king of the bell, who were tied aside by them, are full of hardships. It's hard to say whether they can save their lives this time. Even if they save their lives, this responsibility is not small. I don't know what Lian Shangshu would do with me after knowing all about the matter. Presumably this official can't be. The black boss lamented.

But he didn't know that at this time, Lian Chongru had changed his previous thoughts and no longer planned to kill Xu Jinghong. Because he has been threatened in public and private.

Shortly after Xu Jinghong was imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, someone suddenly stood up to speak for him. They all said that Xu Jinghong was wronged, because Xu Jinghong was with them at the time of the crime. These people themselves have no power. They are all idle nobles, but they still have some influence in the court, which puts a certain pressure on the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Soon after, more people joined the camp. Some of them are also nobles, some are generals without military power, and some scattered officials of the imperial court who can't see the power behind them. So many people are complaining about Xu Jinghong, which is really beyond his expectation, so that he doesn't know whether he should stick to it.

He went to ask Wu Jingzi's attitude, but the other party didn't say much, but asked him to delay it for another two days. But just last night, something happened that made him more shocked and afraid.

When I woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to go to the toilet, I suddenly found a dark shadow standing in front of my bed. The man stared at him so silently that his cold hair all over his body rose: "Who are you? What are you here to do?"

"Lian Shangshu, there is no malice here today. I just want to bring you a word. Xu Jinghong can't get rid of it. If you don't stop, you won't be so polite the next time I come back!" After the shadow left this sentence coldly, it disappeared from the eyes of Lian Chongru.

If Lian Chongru hadn't got up later and found that there was a knife and a note with threatening words on the table in front of the bed, he would have thought it was his own nightmare. When he was sure that this was the truth, Lian Shangshu was even more worried and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Pray? Or should we continue to lock people up? This question hovered in his mind for a long time. It was not until he found that it was dark that he thought of his previous instructions, and immediately asked people to go to prison to order not to torture Xu Jinghong and others for the time being. He finally chose the most harmless approach to himself, neither killing people nor releasing them according to Wu Jingzi's wishes. He only waited for the Gyeonggi government to reach a final conclusion before making a right and wrong.

At the other end of the capital, a group of people also gathered together. They discussed how to rescue Xu Jinghong from prison. These people are those led by Lv Zhonghe who still want to work hard for the resurreation of the Song Dynasty.

"Everyone has seen Xu Jinghong's ability. The Fang family was destroyed by him - although it may not be him who destroyed the whole family, after all, they were driven out of the capital by his idea - should we make the decision to pull him into our side?" The previous young man said again.

After a long silence, one person said, "Indeed, Xu Jinghong is a good candidate. But... now he has been taken to prison, which doesn't help us at all."

"This is a good opportunity for us to bring him into our camp. May I ask, if he is smooth sailing, how can he help us do things?

"This also makes sense, so how can we help him get out of prison?"

"I heard that he has sufficient evidence to prove that he stayed in the city at the time of the incident. As long as we stand with those officials who testify, we can create a greater momentum, which makes it difficult for the Ministry of Justice to persist."

"In this way, we are in danger of exposure."

"There is another way. Recently, there has been a rumor in the capital that there are three bodies at the scene of the murder of the Fang family. These three bodies are the murderers of the Fang family, and their identities are deeply related to a certain family in Beijing. It's just that the Gyeonggi government has not yet made it clear about this matter, and the power of that family is amazing, so it has not been accurate.

"You mean, we poked this out and completely mixed up the water?"

"Yes, so those families will only be suspicious of each other and don't care about us."

"What you said is just a rumor. Can it really work?"

"Of course, I have seen those three people with my own eyes and will not make mistakes."

In this way, everyone reached an agreement, and then looked at Lu Zhonghe, the leader, waiting for his final comment. After thinking for a while, Lv Zhonghe finally nodded: "Just do as you want. Rescue the people first, and then we will try to contact them."

For a while, around Xu Jinghong, who was not in high status, various bright and dark forces in Beijing moved, and a new good play also appeared...
