"How come no one else complained about pain, but you are the only one complaining about a sore throat all day long?"

Master Lin scolded angrily and hit the table with his ruler. There was a loud "snap" and the rest of the people in the room also shook.

Immediately afterwards, the ruler in Master Lin's hand greeted the singer unceremoniously: "You have a sore throat, I'll give you a sore throat, I'll give you a sore throat!"

The singer shrank from being beaten, but did not dare to hide. He could only scream in pain uncontrollably.

Hearing his cry of pain, Master Lin hit the ruler more vigorously: "Okay, you still have the strength to scream. I think you don't have a sore throat, but your bones are itchy. You want to be beaten, right?! OK, OK, I'll make it happen." you!"

After saying that, he beat the singer hard again. The whole room was extremely quiet inside and outside, so quiet that only the "snap" sound of the ruler hitting someone was left.

After a while, Master Lin seemed to be tired from the beating, and finally stopped breathing. He straightened up and glanced at everyone, with contempt in his eyes: "You have all seen it, but anyone who is useless or wants to be lazy should be more alert, otherwise, just wait to be taught a lesson!"

Everyone in the room looked at him in horror and fear.

Master Lin was probably very satisfied with their reaction: "Okay, get behind me and kneel down, and reflect on it for me. Someone will take you away soon."

As he spoke, he kicked the singer on the leg, barely letting him go. The next moment, he raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on one of the "women":

"Brother Yu, come and sing a few lines and let me listen."

"Yes."

Brother Yu took a step forward and opened his mouth with a man's voice. He glanced at Master Lin's face, composed himself, and started singing loudly.

His voice was higher and louder than the previous singer. Master Lin closed his eyes and tasted it, then shook his head and said: "Yeah, not bad, not bad, there is progress. Compared with Brother Jing, your understanding is still higher." some!"

While talking, there was a knock on the door, followed by two guards pushing the door in: "Master Lin, we two brothers are here to pick up someone."

Master Lin turned his head when he heard the sound, glanced at the kneeling singer behind him, and said: "Where they are, you just take them away - there should be less noise, I'm still practicing my voice here."

"Of course."

The guard responded, then stepped forward and pulled the singer away. Seeing this, the singer immediately struggled and shouted repeatedly: "No, I won't go...Master Lin, Master Lin, I was wrong, Master Lin, woo! -"

The guard ignored the singer's shouts and immediately covered his mouth and nose, controlled his arms and shoulders, and forcibly dragged him out of the house.

During the process, the singer struggled so violently that he actually kicked over a ceramic flower pot outside the corridor. Following the sound of "clang", the faces of the other people in the room turned pale.

Seeing their reactions, Lou Xiyue became suspicious: It was just a flower pot that was broken, so why were all these people so frightened that their faces changed?

She sensed something was wrong, so she turned around and followed the two guards.

I saw the guard dragging the person through the long corridor, exiting the corner door and turning right. After walking for a while, he turned north and finally stopped at the entrance of a dark courtyard.

Lou Xiyue followed carefully and did not get too close, but from a distance, she could still clearly see that there were guards guarding the small courtyard inside and outside, and screams could be heard from time to time in the courtyard.

The strange cry I heard earlier must have come from here.

Lou Xiyue thought for a moment, then found a secluded and inconspicuous corner and jumped over the wall. As light as a swallow, she lay low on the roof and saw guards coming out of the house carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher lay a man groaning in pain.

At this time, the singer who was being escorted was pushed into the room. Lou Xiyue then opened a tile and looked in through the cracks in the tiles. He saw several strong men guarding the house. After the singer entered, several strong men captured him and put him on the couch beside him. Push him down and trap his hands and feet so that he cannot struggle or resist.

At the same time, a man dressed as an eunuch rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward and said: "Hold him down, otherwise we will not guarantee that he will move around after a knife is used and blood is seen." The arms, legs and feet are not complete.”

While he was talking, he took a piece of white cloth that was rolled up and stuffed it all into the singer's mouth: "Bit it for us, so you don't have to bite your tongue for a while."

Before the singer could open his mouth to speak, all the sounds were blocked. The next moment, when he saw the old eunuch taking out a small scimitar from the table beside him, he even screamed "woo woo"——

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Our hands are steady. It won't hurt. It will be over in the blink of an eye..." As he spoke, the old eunuch lifted up the hem of the singer's shirt...

Lou Xiyue was about to look down when a strange gust of wind blew beside her. As soon as she turned her head, she felt someone approaching, and then a hand blocked her eyes.

"Princess, please don't watch this scene. It's bloody and dirty for your eyes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cry of the singer came from the house below.

Lou Xiyue waited quietly for a moment and said, "Why are you here?" She didn't move and just said, "Stop blocking me. I won't look down."

Hearing this, Fu Guan smiled softly, and then let go of his hand according to Yan: "Princess, you have a good ear - when did you find out that I was here?"

"The internal strength practiced by the prince seems to be very different. It is not difficult to find out if you pay a little attention." Lou Xiyue said: "How is the situation over there? What news can you get?"

Fu Guan looked away and glanced into the courtyard below, and saw that the man who had just been cleansed by the old eunuch was being carried out on a stretcher by the guards.

He said: "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go back first."

Lou Xiyue also felt that the time was almost up, so she nodded in agreement: "Okay."

After saying that, the two of them jumped off the roof one after the other, and left using Qinggong in the darkness of the night.

*

Inside a house in the eastern suburbs.

Shangguan Jie paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back: "It's been quite a while. According to the estimated time, they should be back. But there is no news yet. Could it be that they went back to the palace first..."

He muttered in his mouth and looked outside several times, but there was still no movement.

Shangguan Jie sat down again, confused: Could it be that something went wrong along the way? It shouldn't be, with the skills of the two of them, they wouldn't be easily discovered by the guards.

So what's the reason why the two of them haven't returned yet?

Just when Shangguan Jie was hesitating whether to go to Qianjiao Garden to investigate again, there was a knock on the door.

Shangguan Jie immediately went to open the door. When he saw the visitor, he said happily: "The prince and the princess are finally back!" He quickly stepped aside and invited people to come in: "Hurry in!"

Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan entered the door and took a sip of tea to soothe their throats.

Shangguan Jie followed up and asked, "How is the situation in the garden? Have the prince and princess found any useful information?"
