Volume 3: Evil Ghosts Eat People Chapter 160 Don’t mess with Xu Zun (Part 2)
At that time, at the hour of Hai, Li Jinlou, who had just finished a meal at Taixian Tower, was accompanied by officials from the Dali Temple and came to the Nanjian Prison in Shangyuan County.
The jailer didn't expect that someone would come to him so late at night to do errands. He was displeased at first, but when he saw that the other party was actually the Inspector of the Dali Temple, he immediately nodded and bowed , and his expression changed.
"Where is that Yuanzhou woman?" Li Jinlou said with a stern face and went straight to the point.
"In ..." The prison boss seemed to sense something was wrong, but he didn't dare to be negligent and replied hastily, "In the underground prison, in solitary confinement. Sir, what are you doing ..."
"Take me over there," Li Jinlou ordered arrogantly, "I want to interrogate this criminal at night!"
“Yes, yes, yes…”
The jailer did not dare to disobey, and immediately led Li Jinlou and others down the stairs, through the gloomy corridor, and came to a solitary cell.
The prison boss trembled as he opened the hard and old iron door, and then lit the candlesticks and oil lamps in the cell.
Under the dim light, Timur Ani was seen tied to a wooden stake with iron chains.
"Wow……"
When Li Jinlou saw Ani's appearance, he was instantly moved and his eyes were wide open.
But Ani was still wearing the blue prairie dress that Xu Zun gave her. Although she was a prisoner, her shocking appearance could not be concealed.
Hearing the noise, Annie slowly opened her eyes. After many days of interrogation, she did not look tired at all, and her eyes were still watery, which made people feel moved.
"You..." Li Jinlou shouted angrily at the prison boss, "You are so bold! Such an important prisoner must know the important details of the case, but you didn't even interrogate him properly or torture him? This is really outrageous!"
"Sir , sir," the jailer quickly clarified, "We are just guarding. The interrogation is done by the people from the government office. Moreover, the Tangzhou Chief Justice has issued an order saying that this woman is involved in the case and there are other hidden reasons. We only allow interrogation and not torture!"
"Humph, it's the Tangzhou Chief Justice again, haha..." Li Jinlou laughed contemptuously, "This time we have solid evidence against him! In my opinion, he is most likely in cahoots with these traitors! Humph..."
"That's enough," the clerk waved his hand at the prison boss and said, "There's nothing for you to do here. Get out! The master wants to interrogate the prisoners!"
"This..." The jailer wanted to say something, but the status difference between the two parties was too great, so he had no choice but to lead his group of prison guards and leave.
"You're right!" Li Jinlou stared at Ani and said excitedly, "This girl is so beautiful that she is rarely seen in the world. She is more than a hundred times prettier than those girls in the Northern Prison!"
"Sir, please conduct the trial carefully! It will be fun! Haha..." The clerk smiled sinisterly, then waved to the officials, and left the cell together to keep watch outside.
“Hehehe…” After the people left, Li Jinlou revealed his evil nature. He rubbed his hands together and smiled sinisterly. Then he stretched out his hands roughly and pulled towards Annie…
"Ah...you...what are you going to do?" Ani's cry came from the cell.
“Hahaha, I’m going to interrogate you carefully. If you don’t tell me, after I’m done, I’ll let my men interrogate you one by one, hahahaha…”
Hearing Li Jinlou's threats in the cell, the officers outside were eager to try, hoping that Lord Li would keep his word...
Then, some indescribable sounds came from the cell, including the sound of iron chains, Li Jinlou's evil smile, and Timur Ani's helpless cries...
When the officers heard the noises, some of them couldn't help but want to peek, but there was no gap in the iron door. If they wanted to peek, they had to open the window on the door.
However, moving the window would inevitably make a noise, and as they were afraid of disturbing Lord Li's enjoyment, they could only suppress their excitement and eavesdrop from outside.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, three people suddenly appeared on the other side of the corridor!
The leader was Xu Zun, and the other two were Zhao Yu holding a knife and Huo Anu holding a stick.
As soon as the three men appeared, they rushed towards the crowd without saying a word, brandished their weapons and started beating them wildly!
“Hey, hey, hey…”
The officers were caught by surprise and despite their large numbers they were still beaten to the ground and had no power to resist.
Huo Anu was the most ruthless. No matter who he met, he would hit them with a stick. His strength was fierce and he was extremely ferocious. With one hit, he could make the person unable to take care of himself...
"Hey, hey, hey...what are you doing?" The clerk was shocked and shouted loudly, "The Dali Temple is investigating a case, are you...are you rebelling? Ouch..."
Before the clerk could finish his words, Xu Zun kicked him directly in the face.
Zhao Yu used the scabbard to hook his ankle, and the recorder did a 270-degree backflip and fell heavily to the ground. His nose was broken, his teeth fell out, and he fainted...
It was not until this time that the Dali Temple officials remembered to resist. They drew their swords and were ready to fight to the death with Xu Zun and the other two!
"stop!"
However, a loud shout suddenly came from the corridor, and the person who came was Chen Taiji, the Chief Censor of the Ministry of Justice!
Behind Chen Taiji were the Inspector Li Yan, the Chief Secretary Dong Wanxing, the County Magistrate Tai Min and many others.
Seeing so many people coming suddenly, the officers put away their swords and dared not act rashly.
Huo Anu stepped forward quickly and opened the cell where Timur Ani was imprisoned.
As a result, as the iron gate opened, Huo Anu's eyes suddenly widened, as if she saw an incredible scene!
"What's wrong?"
Xu Zun and others were very surprised and rushed forward. After seeing the scene in the cell, they were all shocked!
"Ah?" Chen Taiji screamed in surprise and shouted into the cell, "Stop... Stop! Sir Li, stop it!"
But in the cell, Li Jinlou was like a madman. He was strangling Annie's neck with the chain that bound her, and then kicking Annie's back hard with his feet, trying to strangle her to death!
"I'm going to kill you, wow!" Li Jinlou's eyes were bloodshot and he roared like a madman.
When I looked again, Annie was already foaming at the mouth and it looked like she was going to die!
"Master Li! Stop, stop now..." Xu Zun rushed in and pulled Li Jinlou away.
"I'm going to kill you, wow!" Li Jinlou was still shouting loudly and pushing Xu Zun hard.
Xu Zun was waiting for this moment. He took a deep breath, swung his arm and slapped Li Jinlou in the face!
The slap was so fierce that Li Jinlou's mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted, and his face was swollen with palm marks...
However, this slap was quite effective. Li Jinlou suddenly shuddered and was no longer manic, but his eyes were still a little blurry...
"oh oh……"
At this time, Ani collapsed on the stake, groaning in pain, almost unable to breathe. Because of the chains still tied to her body, her body was tangled in the air, which was very pitiful.
"Quick!" Chen Taiji ordered Huo Anu, "Hurry and save them!"
"Yes!" Huo Anu wanted to untie the chain, but it was locked and could not be untied.
"Let me do it !"
Zhao Yu took out his sword, gathered his strength, and chopped the chain with the sword.
With a burst of sparks, the chain broke.
Ani fell heavily to the ground, and Huo Anu hugged her.
"Ani...Ani..." Huo Anu held Ani in his arms and asked, "What happened? What happened?"
"He...he..." Ani pointed a trembling finger at Li Jinlou, "He wants to kill me to silence me...I...I have seen him..."
ah!!?
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Xu Zun seemed to realize something, and hurriedly searched Li Jinlou in front of everyone, and unexpectedly found a letter from his sleeve pocket...
