Chapter 117 Torture
After all, it’s better to let him open the city gate first.
As for informing the prefect, he could go ahead and inform him. Zhang Tao must have known about his entry into the city long ago.
If Zhang Tao wanted to stop them from transporting the rice, Liu Jinyu didn't care. He just had to report the matter to Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan would take care of it.
The captain guarding the city hesitated again and again, but finally gritted his teeth and ordered the city gate to be opened, and at the same time sent someone to report to the prefectural government.
Anyway, when the time comes, the prefectural government will ask him to stop it. If he tries to stop it again and the prefectural government doesn't let him stop it, then everyone will be happy and everyone will live in peace and not interfere with each other.
"You're a smart kid!"
Seeing that the centurion opened the city gate obediently under his threat, Liu Jinyu laughed and felt secretly happy.
It feels so good to be able to make others wary or even afraid with just one sentence!
He waved his hand, and a rice convoy consisting of horse-drawn carriages, donkey-drawn carts, and ox-drawn carts marched out of the city.
The soldiers guarding the city retreated to both sides of the city gate and watched the convoy leave the city.
"Report, the order from the governor has arrived!"
A soldier came galloping on horseback, and his horse stopped in front of the centurion, and he dismounted.
"What did the governor say?"
The centurion's expression suddenly became a little nervous.
If the prefect's order was to prevent them from leaving the city, would he follow the order or refuse?
Go ahead and execute it. Chen Xuan is no pushover. The captain who was killed yesterday is still dead, and Commander Ling Mo is still recovering from his injuries.
If we don’t carry it out, we won’t be able to explain to the prefectural government.
In short, he was caught between a rock and a hard place, with his head tied to his neck.
"The governor said to let them out of the city!"
The soldier reports.
Upon hearing this, the centurion breathed a sigh of relief.
Letting them out of the city means that everything will be fine, and his life will be temporarily safe.
"Even the governor has compromised. It seems that this Chen Xuan is really difficult to deal with."
The captain muttered to himself that he would try to take a detour when he saw Chen Xuan and the people around him in the future.
It took a total of six trips back and forth to transport 10,000 dan of rice out of the city.
Liu Jinyu ordered people to build a temporary granary near the courtyard.
By the time everything was done, it was already dawn.
Liu Jinyu did not disturb Chen Xuan's sleep, but waited for him to wake up naturally. After all, in his opinion, Chen Xuan should be hugging one of his concubines at this moment.
"Master Liu, I've already given you 10,000 dan of rice. I'm very sleepy. Can you let me sleep for a while?"
Liao Jun spoke weakly.
This guy hasn't eaten a grain of rice or drunk a sip of water since he was kidnapped yesterday. In addition, he has injuries on his body and hasn't slept all night. He is now exhausted.
"Your father hasn't been released yet, how can you sleep?"
Liu Jinyu looked at him teasingly. Liao Jun was now obedient and would call him "Master" whenever he saw him.
"I've already given you the rice you requested. I believe Master Chen is a man of his word. You will definitely release my father. I want to get some sleep now."
Liao Jun still looked weak, as if his body had been drained by the beauty, and he would be exhausted if he exerted himself a little.
"You are such a filial son." Liu Jinyu smiled.
Seeing him smile, Liao Jun quickly said, "Master Liu, can I rest now?"
Liu Jinyu's face instantly turned stern: "No! Master Chen hasn't woken up yet, why are you sleeping? If you have anything to say, wait until Master Chen wakes up. If you dare to sleep, I'll break your legs!"
It was so cruel and merciless that Liao Jun felt completely terrified and his stomach growled.
Liu Jinyu glanced at him and sneered, "Now you know what it's like to be hungry, right? When you, the Liao family, were enjoying the good life, did you ever think about the poor people who starved to death?"
"You, the Liao family, father and son, are completely devoid of conscience and worse than pigs and dogs. Can't you bear to starve you for a day? Just wait here obediently!"
He originally wanted to ask his men to give Liao Jun a piece of pancake to fill his stomach, but then he changed his mind and thought about how many ordinary people had starved to death because the Liao family raised the price of rice.
In comparison, Liao Jun was at most starving, but others lost their lives.
Don’t look at Liao Jun’s pitiful appearance now. There must be something hateful about a pitiful person!
Liao Jun's face was pale, and he looked like he was half dead. He sat down on the ground with a limp butt.
There was no way. I was hungry and sleepy. I was exhausted and felt dizzy when I stood up.
"Did I ask you to sit down?"
Liu Jinyu glared at him fiercely and shouted, "Stand up!"
Liao Jun shuddered, really afraid of him, and climbed up tremblingly.
I had just stood up and hadn't even stood firmly when I suddenly felt dizzy, saw stars, and staggered to the point of falling.
On the side, Xiao Liuzi was quick-witted and quick-handed, and immediately went over to hold him.
"What are you doing? You staggered even when I asked you to stand there as punishment."
Little Liuzi tutted his words, "Aren't rich young men like you supposed to eat delicacies from land and sea every day? How come you're still so weak? You're so useless."
"Xiao Liuzi, hold him like this and don't let him lie down."
Liu Jinyu gave an order.
"Hehe, please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, I promise to complete the task!" Xiao Liuzi smiled.
Then he called two people over, one on the left and one on the right, and pulled Liao Jun's hands apart into a straight line. They held him like that, and Liao Jun had to stand, suffering the painful torture.
He wanted to cry but had no tears. Isn't this just exhausting?
"Or you could just kill me!" Liao Jun couldn't stand it anymore.
"You can't stand it just now? We haven't started the torture yet."
Xiao Liuzi laughed.
Liu Jinyu gave the order directly: "If he dares to cry miserably again and says he will be killed, do not hesitate and break his neck!"
After saying that, he went to guard the gate of the courtyard. As soon as Chen Xuan came out, he would immediately take credit.
Liao Jun felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. He had wanted to act pitiful, but after hearing what Liu Jinyu said, he was so scared that he dared not say a word.
I don’t know how long I suffered.
The sun is high in the sky.
In the courtyard, Chen Xuan finally woke up. As soon as he left the room, Xu Ruolan and the others had already prepared breakfast, as well as water and towels for washing.
"Husband, you're finally awake!"
Xu Ruolan's delicate voice rang out.
Among all the women in the yard, she is the only one who is so passionate towards me every time.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Looking at the clean courtyard and the fragrant breakfast, Chen Xuan couldn't help but speak. He felt a little relieved that he was nice to these women and they were also nice to him.
"It's not hard. My husband works hard outside to earn money. As women, we must take good care of this small family." Xu Ruolan smiled lightly.
