Chapter 2160 Beaten and Unexpected Surprise【3】

After Zhong Huan finished speaking, he looked at the cold food on the table and ordered: "Withdraw, and bring the hot food to another table."

This matter wasted nearly an hour on him. He didn't even eat, and only drank a few sips of the wine he brought with him.

But what he thought was a small thing turned out to be a disaster for Lu Bai.

After Lu Bai was taken to the Five Cities Military and Horse Department, he was immediately dragged to the torture chamber. While being tortured, he was asked to confess: "Tell me, why are you making trouble in the capital? Who instigated you, and who is your master?!"

Lu Bai was stunned, and quickly explained: "No, I didn't cause trouble, and I didn't have a master behind me. I was just telling stories on the street. After my stall was smashed, I begged the listeners to come with me to the restaurant to smash my stall. People’s theory…”

Lu Bai endured the severe pain and said a long sentence, then took a few breaths and then continued: "I didn't cause trouble, and I didn't disrespect His Majesty. It was just that the stall was smashed, so I want justice!"

Oh, He Baihu laughed and didn't even listen to Lu Bai's explanation: "What I'm asking is, who instigated you to cause trouble in the capital, and who is the mastermind behind you? Don't talk nonsense, otherwise the punishment will be doubled!"

After saying that, he waved the whip with salt in his hand and hit Lu Bai with a few slaps, beating Lu Bai's skin and flesh to pieces.

"Ah——" Lu Bai was so painful that he almost died.

When He Baihu saw this, he showed no mercy, but told him: "This is the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. Not to mention you, a scholar from other places, even a small official will stand still if he doesn't confess." Come in and go out sideways.”

The subordinate next to him said: "That means you will die, so quickly reveal the mastermind to avoid having to die in a foreign country!"

Lu Bai is a scholar. Because he can read, he has been pampered by his family since he was a child. He has never suffered like this in his life. But when he heard these threatening words, he smiled: "If there is no mastermind, there is no mastermind. You want to beat him into submission." , don’t even think about it!”

"Ha, you are quite brave. In that case, let you suffer some real pain!" He Baihu smiled and winked at the veteran executioner. The man pulled out a special knife and walked up to Lu Bai. , actually started to slice the flesh on his body.

The knife was not sharp, so cutting the flesh would be doubly painful, and the pain would be long-lasting. Lu Bai had to endure the severe pain and watch how his flesh was sliced ​​off.

Lu Bai was trembling all over, and his painful screams were heard throughout the torture chamber. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.

The executioner asked: "Sir, do you want to continue?"

He Baihu nodded: "Wake up and continue!"

this?

To be honest, Lu Bai did not break the law. The so-called gathering a crowd to cause trouble was not established, and there was a reason for the incident. Even if it was for the sake of public security in the capital, just fine him a small amount of money.

Why use such cruel torture?

However, the executioners did not ask. They were trained to only obey orders. Even if they had doubts in their hearts, they would not ask any more questions.

Wow!

A bucket of ice water was poured down, and Lu Bai was awakened.

The executioner continued to cut his flesh with the knife.

Lu Bai was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream, and could only stare at He Baihu angrily and stubbornly.

He Baihu smiled: "I heard that you have been telling stories in the capital in the past few months, talking about the soldiers fighting against the enemy. Do you think they are very powerful, they are great heroes, and you want to be them? But you can't He is a fame-seeking person who has gained some fame through storytelling. If you want to be a hero, you are not worthy."

Lu Bai knew that he was not a hero, but he couldn't be a bear either, and he would never accept being beaten into submission!

…

Dou Shaodong's family had already rushed to the Xicheng Army and Horse Department with their people. They wanted to ask to see the commander of the Army and Horse Department, but they were stopped outside.

Xu Limu of Xicheng Bingma Division knew Dou Shaodong's family and got a lot of benefits from him. Thinking of his friendship, he pulled him aside and told him: "Dou Dong's family, although Lu Bai is imprisoned here, you can find Xicheng soldiers Commander Ma Si is useless, that’s what the higher-ups mean.”

Dou Shaodong's family was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Lu Bai was just telling stories in the capital. Although he had quarrels with some people and was beaten by others, he did not break any criminal laws. How could this matter become so serious? "

Xu Limu shook his head: "I don't know about that."

Dou Shaodong's family frowned and asked again: "Can you die?"

Xu Limu still shook his head: "I don't know, but he is still alive now, but he was severely tortured."

Tsk, I heard he was beaten badly.

After hearing this, Dou Shaodong's family felt relieved. After all, he was still alive, and asked again: "My family has two nursing homes. Can they be released?"

Xu Limu shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work now. Everyone arrested, including Chen Xiaoba and the others, will have to be detained and cannot be released for the time being."

Dou Shaodong's family was shocked, and even the Dou Family Nursing Home couldn't release him. How serious is this matter? Who did Lu Bai offend?

He asked a few more questions, but Xu Limu didn't know. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the question, he had no choice but to give up. He gave Xu Limu a banknote and said, "Brother Xu, if you have any other news, remember Send someone to inform me promptly.”

Xu Limu accepted the banknote and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Dou, we have been friends for so many years. If there is any news, I will send someone to deliver it immediately."

"Thank you." After Dou Shaodong's family thanked them, they got on the carriage and left. In the car, they gave instructions: "Send a post to Mr. Ming, and then leave a message to the concierge of the Ming family. It is an urgent matter. Be sure to hand the post to Mr. Ming today. .”

Originally, he wanted to go directly to Ming Cong's house, but Ming Cong was not someone he could meet whenever he wanted. He could only submit a message, and Ming Cong had the final say whether he would see her or not.

"Yes." Butler Dou went to do it.

Dou Shaodong's family did not stay outside longer, but returned to Dou's house on Xianning Street.

Qu Xiucai and the others were waiting anxiously. When they saw Dou Shaodong's family coming back, they hurriedly asked him: "What's going on with Dou Shaodong's family? Why did the people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division arrest Lu Bai? Can they be rescued?"

Dou Shaodong's family said: "He is still alive, and I am trying to think of ways to save him."

Qu Wenliang was shocked when he heard this: "What do you mean by this? What does it mean that a person is still alive? Does the Wucheng Army still want to kill him?!"

Dou Shaodong drank a cup of hot tea and said, "We don't know yet. Let's wait until we figure out what's going on here. If we don't figure this out, we don't even know where to start saving people?"

Then he said: "I have already sent a message to Mr. Ming. I will wait until the Ming family sends a letter."

But Qu Wenliang and Xu Zhaoming had not waited in vain for a long time. They had already inquired about some things and said angrily: "Lu Bai took people to the restaurant to interfere with the matter of the Ruan family. At most, they would be fined a sum of money. The criminal law It doesn’t say that people can be taken away, but that they can be severely punished!”

They had to take the imperial examination, and they had learned the criminal law of Dachu, so they understood it.

Dou Shaodong's family said: "The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has great power. It is common for them to bump into you, take you away and give you a beating. Don't worry, wait and see. Maybe Lu Bai will be released tomorrow."

But according to what Xu Limu said, it would be difficult for Lu Bai to be released, and he would most likely die.

"Dou Meng, go and find out if Lu Bai has offended anyone recently?" Dou Shaodong's family felt that Lu Bai's fate was probably because he offended some noble person when he was telling stories, otherwise the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division would not have targeted him. He also pretended to kill him.

"Yes." Dou Meng hurriedly went to do it.
