Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

"You dare come anywhere."

There was a doting tone in Lu Jiusi's voice that he himself didn't even notice. He reached out and pulled Shen Nanyue to leave. He didn't like everything here; it made him feel very dirty.

Shen Nanyan broke free from his big hand, and Lu Jiusi looked back in confusion.

"how?"

"I'm here to look for someone."

"Who?"

"My second brother, Su Xinrong, Wu You said he is here."

Lu Jiusi turned his head to look at a man standing in the corner, his eyes were like torches and he was full of arrogance. Qingxuan immediately had the man brought over and kicked him on the knee, making him kneel down at Lu Jiusi's feet.

"Where are the people?"

"Since the prince knows me, he also knows that this is the emperor's territory. Isn't it inappropriate to do this?"

"Since I dared to kill his people, what else could be wrong? I have no patience."

"Your Highness, this prince doesn't take the emperor seriously."

"Cut off his hand."

The man's name is Jiang Ming. He doesn't know any martial arts, but he is a very scheming person. This underground gambling house seems to be run by Bao Shu, but in fact Jiang Ming is the mastermind.

Now he was delaying time, of course, waiting for the newly enthroned emperor to rescue him, because he earned a lot of money for the emperor every year, so the emperor would definitely not give up on him. However, Lu Jiusi naturally knew what he was thinking, so he was unwilling to let him drag it on any longer.

"what!"

Qingyu received the order without any delay. He raised his knife and chopped off Jiang Ming's severed palm, which fell to the ground. Lu Jiusi reached out and covered Shen Nanyue's eyes.

"Where are the people?"

This time, Qingyu asked directly without waiting for Lu Jiusi to speak.

Jiang Ming's face was already pale, the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks, and the blood on the ground was flowing farther and farther like a stream.

"I...I won't tell you...I won't tell you..."

"Kill them all."

"Lu Jiusi, how dare you! This is the Emperor's territory. How can you act wildly here? Don't forget that the Emperor is the Son of Heaven, the most noble person in the world."

Jiang Ming's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. He didn't expect Lu Jiusi to be so decisive and not leave him any chance. When Lu Jiusi appeared, he had already sent people out. As long as he waited a little longer, the emperor's people would definitely come to rescue him.

He was waiting in his heart, but there was no sound at all in the corridor.

"kill."

Lu Jiusi opened his thin lips slightly, and the head of the thug who was controlled behind him was separated from his body in an instant. The smell of blood at the tip of his nose became stronger and more pungent, and Lu Jiusi's face became more and more unhappy.

"Jiang Ming, are you going to tell me or not?"

Qingyu kicked Jiang Ming, and Jiang Ming took a breath before slowly getting up.

"So what if I don't tell you? I'm the Emperor's man. If Your Highness kills me, it would be like offending the Emperor. The Emperor will be furious. Can Your Highness bear the consequences?"

"continue."

After Lu Jiusi spoke this time, all the men in black who had just besieged Shen Nanyue died.

Jiang Ming frowned and blinked twice unconsciously. He felt a little panicked. The emperor's men were late, and Lu Jiusi didn't seem to be joking. He might really fall into his hands.

In fact, Jiang Ming knew the Su Xinrong they were talking about. The reason why he didn't hand him over was because that person was handed over by Lu Yichen. Naturally, he also took advantage of Lu Yichen, and he had the emperor to rely on, so he refused to let go.

"Strangle them all. Everyone, keep searching. Dig deep to find Su Xinrong."

The place is so small, Lu Jiusi didn't believe that he couldn't find even one person. After giving his instructions in a cold voice, when he looked down at Shen Nanyue, the light in his eyes instantly became gentle, and his voice also softened.

"I'll take you out first, and I'll definitely find the person for you."

"Do you think they will..."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness...hiss...Your Highness, why don't we discuss this? I didn't hear clearly who Your Highness was looking for, so...that's why I didn't tell you. Your Highness, give me a chance, and I will hand the person over to you personally."

Looking at the knife raised by Qingyu, Jiang Ming knelt down again and begged for mercy. People must be alive to have all the hope and possibilities. If he was killed today, he would have nothing.

"Ken said it?"

"Ken, it is my honor to help His Majesty. Please let me go like a dog."

"Where is Su Xinrong? Tell me quickly."

When she heard that he was willing to confess, Shen Nanyan immediately asked.

"Su... Young Master Su, he's in the bathroom."

"lead the way."

Jiang Ming did not dare to hide it anymore. Holding his severed wrist and covered in blood, he walked towards the corner step by step. There was a tattered straw hat hanging on the wall. Who would have thought that there was a mechanism under the straw hat? Jiang Ming twisted it lightly, and another space appeared after the wall cracked, with bursts of cold air inside.

Shen Nanyan didn't care about anything else and walked in. Lu Jiusi hurriedly followed her closely, looking around cautiously.

There was nothing dangerous in the room, except for a huge pool in the middle. Above the pool was a whole shelf, and people could be vaguely seen hanging under the shelf. Only half of their heads were exposed, and if you were not careful, your nose would fall into the water and you would not be able to breathe.

"Get everyone up, quickly, and don't play any tricks, or I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death."

Qingyu kicked Jiang Ming again. Jiang Ming had no strength to resist and could only timidly operate the mechanism. Soon the people below were hung up. These people were half dead and their faces were frighteningly pale.

"Second brother, second brother..."

Shen Nanyan was anxiously looking for Su Xinrong, and Lu Jiusi followed her closely.

"Yan...Yan...Er."

Su Xinrong's weak voice rang out in the crowd. When Shen Nanyan saw him, her eyes instantly turned red, and big tears rolled down her cheeks. Lu Jiusi's heart tightened, and he reached out his hand but then retracted it.

Soon, Su Xinrong was rescued. His body was covered with blisters, and his entire body was swollen except for his face. Shen Nanyan didn't know how to start after taking his pulse. Lu Jiusi immediately asked someone to send Su Xinrong out. He took Shen Nanyan and prepared to leave immediately. He really didn't want to stay here for another second.

As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, Lu Jiusi stopped and looked back at Qingyu. Qingyu understood what he meant, and Jiang Ming naturally understood it too.

"Your Highness, please spare my life. This Young Master Su is not the one I want to keep. It was the Third Prince who specifically instructed me to keep him. I am just a servant and must obey my master in everything. Please have mercy on me and give me a way out."

"How he got into the gambling house and how he was left there."

If the third prince intervened, it meant that Shen Nanyan's guess was correct. It must be Shen Lingxi's method. Shen Nanyan asked about her suspicions.

"He was brought in by Chen Weisheng from the residence of Lord Chen, the head of the Ministry of Rites. As soon as Young Master Su entered, the Third Prince's letter arrived. The letter simply instructed me to detain him and... to torture him to death. It was all the Third Prince's idea, and had nothing to do with me. I'm innocent."

Shen Nanyan didn't say anything else. She stood for a moment and then turned to leave. Lu Jiusi didn't say anything either and followed Shen Nanyan away.

Behind them, Jiang Ming's begging for mercy came to an abrupt end. Blood gushed out from his broken neck, and his severed head rolled into the pool, floating up and down on the water, looking very strange.
