Chapter 29: Miss Su’s Darkest Hour

Chapter 29: Miss Su’s Darkest Hour

The mountain wind whistled, the weeds and mountains swayed endlessly, and unknown flowers and plants flew seeds, rubbing over the pale faces of the densely packed constables in the sunlight and drifting into the distance.

Thousands of constables were deathly quiet in an instant!

Heart hair tight, body sweating, can not stop trembling.

This is their personal experience.

The rows and columns of cruel and incomparable criminal law on that wooden board, even if it was used on a thief, it would be unbearable to look at, let alone the delicate Miss Su.
“God damned hasty public righteousness Iron Faced Judge Pure Goodness Little Lang Jun, I don’t share the same heaven with you, hateful!”

A young constable who admired Miss Su to the extreme, anxious fire attacked his heart, coupled with physical sleepiness, fainted on his back.

The rest of the constables, on the other hand, clenched their fists and waist knives, if not for their scruples, they could not wait to immediately rush up and kill the thieves.

“Grand Master Xin!”

Suppressing his anger, Chen Jing took two steps forward and cupped his fists in a salute, struggling to maintain a calm tone: “Last night you had said that you would offer a price for the release of Miss Su this morning, why do you list so many vicious punishments, is this the work of a human being? What do you wish to do?”

“These criminal laws are the way the price is redeemed.”

Xin Zhuo swept a glance at the constables, returned a salute, and said with a serious face: “I, the good men of the Voltron Walled City are pure and good, and I have never done anything vicious, and even if I captured Miss Su, I have also treated her with courtesy, but you and the other constables are pressing in with a large army, and we are under so much pressure.

Su girl that is sure to release, but I think we can not be too hasty, must come step by step, see this eighteen style torture did not? Is not very reasonable?”

You guys pure goodness a unconscionable, reasonable a heaven and earth.

All the constables, constables only feel the heart of the anger is even more winning.

Rude killing bandits and thieves have seen more, so shameless is rare.

“So?” Chen Jing selectively ignored the wooden board and frowned in question, he didn’t quite understand what Xin Zhuo meant.

Xin Zhuo waved his sleeves, with a treacherous look on his face: “So, these tortures, whether they are implemented or not, depends on your performance, you can first pick a person to go up to the mountain to talk about the price with me, and when you’ve made a deal, I’ll cross out one of the tortures. Then you send another person to the mountain to talk with me, talk about it and then delete one, until all the tortures are deleted one by one, then naturally release Miss Su down the mountain.

Isn’t that reasonable? The prerequisite is a strong martial art, an expert who has entered the grade, forget about the minions.

Also, don’t think of scheming, or else you’ll be waiting to collect Miss Su’s corpse for her.”

Chen Jing and Yuan Mo’er and several other constables glanced at each other, although they didn’t know Xin Zhuo’s little thief’s specific intentions, they coincided with the crowd’s ploys anymore, and they didn’t even need to persuade each other to go up to the peak.

Who will go first?
Xin Zhuo already carried his hands behind his back and turned around to go back to the fortress.

Leaving Huang Dagui, White Tip Tiny, and Jiulang to watch, Cui Ying’er chased after him.

“Big Boss, I don’t understand what you mean.”

Cui Ying’er frowned: “You listed so many tortures and made them come up one by one to talk, is it to stall for time or to ask for a price?”

In her opinion, this is not helpful, if the delay continues, the experts on the Prefecture City side will gather, and there will be no more room for Volsung Walled City to maneuver.

“That is, to delay, or to ask for a sky-high price, the more experts come, the better.”

Xin Zhuo walked into the fortress first, his long back was so confident and unrestrained under the sunlight.

What exactly is the big boss’s idea, is it a broken pot or a strange idea?
Cui Ying’er heart a mess, and even think, really can not or run away? This way of pulling teeth from the mouth of the tiger, the old master of the life also dare not do.

The sunshine sprinkled down the mountain bandit compound, the mountain wind was blocked by the surrounding thatched roof, the temperature is moderate, warm.

Su Miao Jin in the courtyard washing clothes, black waist-length hair pulled to do a simple bun, with a handle of jade hairpin pin, thinly powdered face, sitting on a bamboo stool, slender posture slightly bowed, revealing a long, snow-white neck, a pair of green onion jade hand because of scrubbing too hard and some red.

Just action is very lame, very clumsy, every scrub, like a great effort.

This was the first time in her life that she had ever washed laundry, and in the past at home it was all done by the rough maids.

“Pah!”

A set of washed linen robes was slammed to the side by her, and she stretched out her index finger to poke out a hole with force.

This set of clothing should be that Xin Zhuo little thief’s by the size, and this was her last stubbornness and unyieldingness. Then she saw a pair of cloth shoes with rotten toes appear in front of her.

Without needing to look up, she knew who was back, she recognized this pair of handmade rotten shoes that were only sold outside for two coins.

Very angry.

So, almost uncontrollably, she whacked the clothes in the basin so hard that the water splashed all over the little thief’s pants.

“Bad posture.” Xin Zhuo said in a warm voice, not caring about the wet pant legs.

Su Miao Jin was silent, but the rhythm of scrubbing slowed down a bit, the corner of her eyes slightly turned to those legs, could it be that this kind of rough work like laundry, there are still skills?

“Washing clothes is just like being a human being, first of all, you have to assume the right posture, Missy is a Missy, captive is a captive, well, you’d better not tilt your body, sit vertically, stretch out your hands, and look straight ahead. Also try to work with your hands and don’t move your waist along with them, or you’ll get tired.”

Xin Zhuo followed the good advice, good teacher, looking at Su Miaojin who has indeed been tired to subconsciously try according to his own words, can’t help but feel a joy in his heart, “Hey, right, come on, watch out for you, in the future you must be an outstanding laundry master, you can find a good job.”

“Pfft–“

Han Qiniang, who was watching with wide eyes, couldn’t help but laugh out loud, her peach blossom eyes curved into a crescent moon.

Cui Ying’er also couldn’t help but laugh a little.

Su Miaojin paused for a moment, unable to help but get angry, rubbing hard with a flurry of force.

Xin Zhuo turned around and went back to the room, looked at the corner of the two beds of quilts neatly iterated, shook his head, and recruited the “Well of the Moon”.

In the well, Cui Ying’er five mountain bandits subordinates of the realm remains unchanged, but the moves have undergone some changes.

For example, Cui Ying’er’s [commonplace chain of mandarin ducks sword art] has become [entry-level chain of mandarin ducks sword art].

The other mountain bandits’ moves were basically all entry-level as well.

“Entry level” should be at the level of entering the palace.

In fact, according to their bones, if they wanted to reach this level in less than a month, it would still be difficult, thanks to the effectiveness of the “Moonwatch Well Water”.

He looked at the not so wide well surface, the mountain below the trappers should soon send manpower up the mountain to negotiate, in the next few days is afraid to increase a lot of spirit sacrifices.

That’s right, he was going to use the Moonwatch Well’s three functions of Apology, Loyalty and Debt to hold the negotiating constables, create sacrificial spirits, share their force, and skyrocket their strength.

The first two must be difficult to think about, but debt ……

With Su Miaojin holding them hostage, are they still afraid that they won’t owe him a debt?

I don’t know if fifteen places are enough?
The sun unconsciously rises, Su Miaojin finally washed clothes back, into the house, first look to the quilt, seems to think it is not good to lie down in broad daylight, but also do not know what to do, can not help but stand in place dazed.

Xin Zhuo pointed to a stool on the side: “Sit!”

Su Miao Jin glanced at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, didn’t make a sound, if she sat according to his words, wouldn’t she be bowing down to the mountain bandits?

Sitting was impossible, preferring to stand.

“Peak down constable, someone will come over immediately to negotiate and save you from going down, you do the bystander.” Xin Zhuo said.

“Good!”

Su Miao Jin’s heart, obediently sat on the bamboo stool, sitting svelte, wide sleeves placed on both knees, eyes not oblique.

“Canglang ……”

At this time, Cui Ying’er and Han Qiniang in the courtyard outside suddenly pulled out their knives.

Only to see a figure in the distance with a purple official’s residence, a soft-footed Pu headcap, and a long sword hanging from his waist walking slowly.
