Chapter 92: Lip Branding (Part 1)
This voice sounded familiar. His brother used to speak like this when he punished him.
Lu Shaoqing swallowed his saliva, pulled Su Mingjue out, and said softly: "Brother, Brother Su has been tired from standing in this courtroom all day. Why not let him rest early and discuss the case tomorrow."
Lu Shaoyu glanced at him. After a quick glance, he said in a faint voice: "I haven't settled the accounts with you for what you just did. Go back and copy fifty chapters of the "Book of Rites" for me."
Lu Shaoqing curled his lips when he heard this, "It's like this every time." There was a pause. After the meeting, he tried to raise his head again and asked: "Just copy, Brother Su is tired today. Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything else!"
After saying that, Lu Shaoqing took Su Mingjue and ran out. Lu Shaoyu's eyes were like twilight. The wolf shot at him fiercely: "Lu Shaoqing, are your wings stiff? Have you learned to talk back to me and disobey my words!"
Lu Shaoyu's tone of voice was a little gloomy. Seeing that he was about to get angry, Su Mingjue patted him gently. He patted Lu Shaoqing's hand and said in a low voice: "It's okay. Mr. Lu probably wants to find out about the case from me. You go back first."
Lu Shaoqing felt unwilling and looked at Lu Shaoyu gently, and then whispered to Su Mingjue. Said: "But... you will be very dangerous if you do this."
Su Mingjue smiled at him and reassured him: "I'm not like you. You are his younger brother and he will naturally be stricter with you. He won't Hit me, don't worry, it's probably about the case."
Lu Shaoqing was a little moved, but still couldn't let go, and kept Su Mingjue silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Su Mingjue winked at Song Chunhe, and then said: "You just heard what Mr. Lu said. The case needs to be found out within three days. If I don't cooperate and stay today, I won't have much time."
Song Chunhe After receiving Su Mingjue's look, he also helped to speak, pushing Lu Shaoqing out, "Okay, just leave if I ask you to. You said you couldn't solve the problem by taking him away."
Xiao Jamming also talked to him : "Second Young Master Lu, we'd better leave as soon as possible. Maybe we can find other clues and help Brother Su."
Lu Shaoqing knew that it was useless, so he finally followed Song Chun and went out with them.
After Lu Shaoqing's group left, Jing Zhaoyin and his group did not dare to stay, and quickly left the scene with his Yamen and Master.
For a moment, the courtroom that was noisy and solemn just now became empty, with only Su Mingjue and Lu Shaoyu remaining.
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
Su Mingjue guessed that Lu Shaoyu wanted to ask him something, so he spoke first: "Master Lu, this small salary magazine..."
Before Su Mingjue finished speaking, Lu Shaoyu said: "Follow me." , then waved his sleeves and walked forward.
Su Mingjue didn't know what he meant. Seeing that the person in front of him had gone far away, he had no choice but to stop talking and follow the other person's figure forward.
Lu Shaoyu walked in front without saying a word, walking neither lightly nor slowly. Su Mingjue followed behind and did not dare to make too much noise.
He looked at the route he took. He went out from the side of the court hall, and then walked down the inner courtyard, and the light became dim.
This route looked familiar, and Su Mingjue suddenly remembered that the last time he went to the inner prison of Dali Temple, the layout seemed to be similar.
Su Mingjue secretly wondered if Lu Shaoyu had led him to the prison of Jingzhao Yinfu Yamen!
The further he went in, the narrower the passage and the darker the light. After a while, he had to carry the oil lamp forward. Go.
Lu Shaoyu was walking in front, and a government official appeared out of nowhere with an oil lamp to lead the way.
Su Mingjue followed behind, feeling a chill in his body, and soon he smelled a damp and stale musty smell.
When he looked up again, Lu Shaoyu had already bent down and walked into a wooden door locked with an iron lock.
Su Mingjue took a look in the dim light. It was really a prison. He didn't pay attention to the steps under his feet. He stumbled forward and almost fell down when he accidentally lost his footing. Lu Shaoyu just looked up when he heard the movement. He glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and walked inside again.
Su Mingjue's heart was beating for a while, not knowing what Lu Shaoyu meant this time. Compared with the last time he went to the inner prison of Dali Temple, although the prison this time was not as scary, the gloomy aura exuding from Lu Shaoyu was even more disgusting. fear.
He calmed down slightly, followed his footsteps, and walked inside.
Lu Shaoyu walked inside and stopped, and gave another look to the yamen official to leave. Then he said, "Do you know where this is?"
Su Mingjue stopped and replied, "The prison of Jingzhao Yinfu yamen." "Inside."
Lu Shaoyu saw that his face was still calm and sneered: "You're still brave, I'm not scared yet. What do you think of this place?"
Su Mingjue
brought him to the prison with a question mark on his face and asked him where he was. What
do you mean?
Su Mingjue carefully looked at Lu Shaoyu's expression, hoping to glean something from it, but she saw that his face was calm and there was no expression on his face.
He could only withdraw his gaze and speculate secretly.
Recalling that he also went to the inner prison of Dali Temple last time, Su Mingjue looked a little weird and thought, maybe he wanted to compare whether Jing Zhaoyin's prison or the inner prison of Dali Temple was better.
Thinking of this, Su Mingjue also had a look on his face. He was confused, he shouldn't be! The dignified Dali Temple Minister was so boring
, but he thought that Lu Shaoyu was very useful when he flattered him last time. Su Mingjue guessed that it was not impossible.
After thinking about this, Su Mingjue coughed lightly and said, "This Jingzhao Yin Prison is not bad, but not as good as the one in Dali Temple."
Hearing this, Lu Shaoyu raised his eyebrows lightly, and turned his head to look in the direction of Su Mingjue, "No wonder you are not afraid , I feel that Jing Zhaoyin’s prison is not dangerous enough.”
Su Mingjue said, “
What do you mean? You have already praised him for being a good prison in Dali Temple, but why are you even more angry?”
Could it be that the praise was not obvious enough or loud enough?
Su Mingjue rolled his eyes upwards and thought deeply: "Jing Zhaoyin's prison looks brighter, not as deep as Dali Temple."
Lu Shaoyu glanced at him and said : "What you mean by this is that you think Jingzhao Yin's prison is good, and you don't care."
Su Mingjue: "!"
Why are these words getting more and more confusing? Don't they all praise your Dali Temple prison as better than Jingzhao Yin's Yamen
? His tone became more sinister.
Su Mingjue vaguely felt something was wrong, so she did not respond this time and remained silent.
Experience told him that when a flattery goes in the wrong direction, the best way is to remain silent to avoid adding fuel to the fire and making the situation out of control!
Lu Shaoyu kicked forward and opened a room, dragging Su Mingjue towards Walking inside, he asked, "Do you know how many punishments there are in Dali Temple?"
How could he, a good and law-abiding citizen, know how many punishments there were in Dali Temple.
Su Mingjue was about to shake his head and deny it, but after a while he saw Lu Shaoyu looking at him with a gloomy face. His heart tightened, and he remembered that Song Chunhe had mentioned it before, so he tried to answer: "Seventy-two ways.
" Shaoyu snorted lightly, "I know the punishments in Dali Temple very well, but do you know about Jing Zhaoyin?"
Su Mingjue quickly shook his head. He was just blind about what he said just now. He took a lucky break. This one in front of him He really didn't know.
Lu Shaoyu stepped forward and fiddled with the torture tools in the torture room and said, "No wonder I'm not afraid. It turns out I don't know what kind of punishments there are in Jingzhao Yinfu Yamen."
