In the dark dungeon, Jia Renlu was tied to the punishment pillar. His hands were stretched out and his head was lowered. He looked like Jesus."Sigh, what's going on? If I'm not careful, I'll become a foreign god. I have to make use of this great opportunity to give a speech or two that will move people's hearts. Perhaps later generations will worship me like a god, remember what I said, carefully understand it, and finally compile it into a book that will be passed down to later generations. This way, I won't be tied up in such a godforsaken place where even rats don't come to pretend to be Jesus in vain.”
When the cell door opened, more than ten burly jailers filed in with weapons in their hands. They came forward and threw the weapons on the ground with clanging sounds before retreating to the side. Jia Renlu looked down and thought,'Good heavens, what are these? Stab sticks, nail boards, bamboo sticks, iron, and a bunch of unknown things…It looks like I'm doomed this time.'”
The leader of the jailers was a strong man with a height of nine feet and a waist of nine girths. He held a leather whip in his hand and came closer. He lowered his head and looked at him fiercely without saying a word.
Jia Renlu raised his head and said respectfully,""Boss, you're actually so strong. My admiration for you is like a surging river. How is your digestive function so good that you can eat like this? Your family probably fed you like a pig. Is there any secret technique in between? I'll also follow the prescription and eat like you!”
"Don't be so glib," shouted Jailer A."I've seen many people like you." Since you're here, you have to be honest. Hurry up and confess!”
"What do you mean?" Jia Renlu asked with a puzzled expression. I've always been law-abiding. I'm a good citizen. If you don't believe me, you can take a look. I just accidentally fell into the bandits 'trap and ended up here. What's there to deal with?”
"Haha, it's rare to see someone who can still spout nonsense after coming in here," said Jailer A with a smile. Often, when we put the instruments of torture on the ground, we would be so scared that we would pee on the ground and quickly confess. Seeing that you're a man, I'm kindly reminding you and pointing you to a clear path. You definitely won't be able to live, but how painful would it be to be stabbed without any pain? It was better than suffering here. I think you'd better confess and suffer less. This way, you can also relax on the road.”
"Boss, it's not that I don't want to confess, but you have to tell me what to confess, right?" Jia Renlu asked.”
Jailer A was so angry that his face turned red. He said word by word,"My patience has a limit.”After saying that, he raised the whip in his hand and waved it in the air.
Jia Renlu said," I really don't know what to recruit. Please remind me."”
"Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate Cao Gong?" Jailer A shouted.”
Jia Renlu suddenly understood and said," So you're asking about this. That's easy. There's no need to torture me. As long as there are two things, I'll confess immediately!"”
"What?" Jailer A asked with confusion.”
"Come over here and listen to me," Jia Renlu said mysteriously."Since you kindly reminded me, I'll let you earn this merit."”
Jailer A quickly leaned over and whispered to Jia Renlu,""I'm famous for being soft and not hard. It's useless to give me a tiger stool or chili water. As long as you find a bigger room, find two beautiful girls and bring some rare delicacies to me. I hugged the beauty and ate the delicious food. When I was excited, I remembered everything.”
Jailer A was confused. He nodded as he listened. After listening, he couldn't help but reply,"Oh." He suddenly felt that something was wrong and shouted,"Good boy! He came here to enjoy life. Beauty? If there are beauties, why would it be your turn?”After saying that, she whipped him, causing his skin to split open and blood to flow out. Jia Renlu was in so much pain that he looked up at the sky and shouted,"Ah!”After shouting, he lowered his head weakly and thought,"It seems that this famous method of seducing a beautiful woman to confess was not developed during the Three Kingdoms. Sigh, I'm so unlucky. If only there was, I could suffer less!”
"Speak!" Jailer A asked word by word. Who ordered you to assassinate Cao Gong?"
Jia Renlu said firmly," If there's a beauty, I'll confess. If there's no beauty, I won't confess even if I die…Ah…" He was whipped again.
In the Jia residence, Diao Chan was sitting in the inner room, carefully sewing new clothes for Jia Renlu. He didn't know why but he felt uneasy, his eyelids twitching."Renlu has been gone for a long time and hasn't returned. Is there anything wrong? My eyelids have been twitching all afternoon. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.”Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, she heard Guo Jia call out from outside the door,"Is anyone there?"
Diao Chan quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand and ran out of the house. She opened the door and said,"Fengxiao is here to look for Renlu, right? He's not here. He went to play chess at Duke Cao's residence.”
Guo Jia said," I've come for this matter. Brother Renlu has been captured by Ming Gong as an assassin and is now in prison. I think he will be executed in a few days."”
When Diao Chan heard this, she was greatly shocked. For a moment, she only felt her heart shake and she stood there like a demon, unable to speak. Suddenly, a wave of dizziness hit him. He felt the world spinning and his head spinning. He closed his eyes and was about to collapse to the ground.
Guo Jia quickly supported her and said,"Furen, don't be anxious. Although the current situation is dangerous, there is still a solution.”
Diao Chan slowed down and slowly opened her eyes. She asked weakly,"How should we save them?"
"It's up to you now," Guo Jia said."You'll personally go find Cao Gong and persuade him with reason and emotion. You'll beg him in every possible way." I'll contact some respected ministers and jointly write a letter to protect my position. Perhaps he could turn the situation around.”
"Lord Guo, you go and contact them first." Diao Chan nodded. When I finished washing up and dressing up, I went to the prime minister's house to ask for help.”
"That's good. I'll take my leave first."”With that, he turned around and walked away.
Diao Chan slowly closed the door and went to the inner room to bathe and change.
In the dungeon, Jia Renlu's body was covered in whip marks, and his prison clothes were dyed red with blood. He lowered his head, not knowing if he was dead or alive. He had been beaten up for an entire two hours. The thugs had already changed by two people, and he had already fainted twice. However, in the spirit of " if you confess, you will be lenient and go to jail. If you resist, you will be strict and go home for the New Year." He gritted his teeth and endured it, refusing to confess.
"I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. Tell me!" Warden D shouted.”The whip fell.
Jia Renlu said weakly," If there's a beauty…then confess. If there's no beauty…then die…die…no…" Before he could finish his words, he fainted.
"Boss, he fainted again."”
"Wake him up with water!" Warden A said.
Jailer D brought a basin of water, took a sip, and sprayed it at Jia Renlu's face. Jia Renlu was stirred up by the cold water and woke up. He slowly raised his head and said,"You guys must be tired from fighting…I think…it's…not…early. Aren't you guys…hungry…you should go…eat…something first. Only after you eat will you have the strength…to fight.”
Jailer A laughed." Haha, good boy. You still have time to talk nonsense at this time. You're a man!" I say, Jia Fu, what's the use of you stubbornly holding on like this? It's better to say it earlier and be free as soon as possible.”
Jia Renlu said righteously,"Leniency to those who are brave…Put them in jail until they die. Punishment to those who resist…Go home for the New Year."”
Jailer A didn't know about this, but he didn't seem to be confessing. He said angrily,""Damn it, I haven't met such a tough person in a long time.”
In the charcoal basin, a handle of iron had been burned red. Jailer Ding Zhizhui came forward and said,""Jia Fu, you have to consider this carefully. If you go down now, it won't feel good. I think you should confess.”
Jia Renlu looked at the bright red iron, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He laughed and said,""If you want me to go, go ahead. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If I frown, I'm not a good man!”He thought to himself,'The lines of revolutionary martyrs seem to be like this. This is what a real man should say, but it doesn't seem so easy to be a real man…'
Hearing this, Jailer Ding was furious. He grinned hideously and raised the iron to Jia Renlu's chest. Hearing this, a puff of green smoke rose from his chest. Jia Renlu let out a loud cry, his head drooped, and he fainted.
Diao Chan came to the door of the Prime Minister's residence in a gorgeous dress and said to a guard,"This little brother, please go in and report that Diao Chan has an urgent matter to see Cao Gong.”
The guard had never seen such a beautiful woman before. He lost his three souls and seven spirits at the sight of her. He was stunned on the spot and drooled. After a long time, his soul returned and he said anxiously,"Just you wait, I'll report it to you now.”He turned around and ran at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. In an instant, he disappeared. Not long after, he ran back and panted,"Cao…Cao…Gong, please, I…I…I'll take you there now.”
In the main hall of the sleeping hall, Cao Cao sat in the middle of the hall to welcome Diao Chan. Not long after, the guard led Diao Chan in. Cao Cao was stunned for a while before he asked with an evil smile,""Diao Chan, why are you looking for me?”
Diao Chan frowned and chided,"Why do you ask when you already know the answer?"”
Cao Cao laughed,"Haha, you're here for Jia Fu's matter, right?" He had the audacity to assassinate me. Now that he has been captured, he needs to be sentenced according to law. The laws of the country are strict. Even if I wanted to help him, I was powerless.”
Diao Chan knelt on the ground and bowed. She said gently,"I beg Cao Gong to be merciful and let my husband go.”
Cao Cao quickly stood up and helped her up. After helping her up, he did not retract his right hand and kept stroking Diao Chan's left arm. He stared at Diao Chan lecherously and said,"Diao Chan, I really want to help you, but the laws of the country are like mountains.”
Diao Chan smiled charmingly and didn't retract her hand, letting Cao Cao caress her as she said,""I know what Ming Gong is thinking. If Ming Gong is willing to let Ren Lu go, I am willing to serve Ming Gong.”
Cao Cao's soul was lost by this smile, and his saliva flowed all over the ground. He was stunned for a long time before he spat out two words,"Really?"
Diao Chan nodded shyly to confirm.
Cao Cao couldn't hold it in anymore. His nose was bleeding as he said hesitantly,"This…"
"Hehe, don't do this and that." Diao Chan said softly. Ming Gong is an invincible hero. I have always admired Ming Gong and wanted to serve Ming Gong but had no opportunity. Now, following Ming Gong is fulfilling my wish. If Ming Gong killed Ren Lu, it would mean that you killed your husband and snatched his wife. It would damage Ming Gong's reputation, so it would be better to let Ren Lu go.”
Cao Cao's mind was in a state of standstill, and his intelligence was probably similar to a three-year-old child. Hearing this, he said," Since that's the case…" At this moment, Guard A hurriedly rushed in. He was not in a hurry to kneel and called out,""Ming Gong, something bad has happened!"
