C257 Desperate Cheng Zhipeng (1)
It seems that out of the three dead people, one of them should be someone that the dean thinks highly of, and hasn't died yet. The dean seems to be prejudiced against him, perhaps he suspects him, but if we think about it, since the others are all dead and he is fine, then his motive is the biggest. As Gongsun Ztian lit up the letter, he fiddled with a jade pendant that had the words' Surveillance Council Selection 'engraved on it and muttered to himself.
"What are you mumbling about?" Leng Nuohan couldn't help but ask when he saw the change in Gongsun Zaitian's expression and change in aura from time to time.
"It's fine. I wanted to splash myself with water, but the wind suddenly changed and I ended up with a coquettish body." Gongsun Ztian replied with a sigh.
"There's trouble again? "Is it tricky?" Leng Nuohan saw that she knew that he was very skilled in cultivation, and with her understanding of Gongsun Ze Tian, she could guess a lot of things with just a glance, so she indifferently asked.
Trouble will certainly be troublesome, but luckily, it is all under your control. It is not much of a problem, but the problem is, it can't be considered as a problem right now. Firstly, he felt that Leng Nuohan's intelligence was scary, and secondly, he couldn't help but admire this woman's devilish talents. This was because this woman couldn't possibly hurt him, so in Gongsun Ze Tian's heart, he had an inexplicable strong sense of trust towards her, as if he was a couple who had known her for ten thousand years.
"So we're going to stay in Fengyang for a few more days?" Leng Nuohan asked playfully.
"Are you in a hurry to go to the capital?" Gongsun Ztian didn't understand. He was still far from that crappy event in the imperial city, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
"At the end of next month, Imperial City's Imperial Family Martial Arts Academy will be recruiting students. Not only me, but even you won't be able to escape. This is something my father and your parents have discussed with you!" Leng Nuohan explained to Gongsun Zaitian in an indifferent tone.
"What?" School? What the heck! Spare me? "At my age, if I were to teach someone, they would not accept me, and if they would refuse to accept me, they would teach me. I am not satisfied." Gongsun Ze Tian did not even bat an eyelid when faced with the troublesome matter that the Principal had mentioned. Now that he heard Leng Nuohan's words, his face was filled with pain, as if he was about to fall into a bottomless abyss.
"Puchi, you are the only one who knows how to make a fuss. Hurry up and finish this off. It will take us at least a month to travel from Fengyang to the imperial capital." I guess you only have half a month left to deal with it! " Leng Nuohan knew that this was Gongsun Zaitian's doing, so he didn't mind and continued to read the book.
"We shall obey Madam's orders!" Gongsun Ztian feebly replied as he slumped into his wheelchair.
"Pfft", Leng Nuohan's blushing face spat a mouthful of blood. Then, she ignored Gongsun Ze Tian and continued reading the book.

Inside the Fengyang City's main palace.
Situ Qingyun was still worrying about the two people he brought into the residence, but if he thought about it carefully, even if he did not bring them back, they did not have breathing holes under their noses. Would they not ask? In short, whether it was a blessing or a curse, a curse could not be avoided.
Commander Ni, who was accompanying Situ Qingyun, looked at Situ Qingyun's dark and uncertain face. Whether he spoke or not, he could not say anything, and his own cup of tea had long been washed clean, and even if Cheng Zhipeng's family was not here, he was still extremely anxious. He kept scolding the people who did the work unreliably, and was slacking off, wanting to cripple his entire family.
Just as Commander Ni Qushi was about to send someone to rush him, a Academy Officer ran in hastily and whispered a few sentences into his ears. However, Commander Ni's face was overjoyed, he stood up and said to Situ Qingyun: "Great General Situ, the man is here, I will personally bring him in, please wait for a moment!"
Situ Qingyun nodded, and waved for him to bring his people in. However, he didn't pay much attention to the vicious tone in Commander Ni's voice.
Seeing Cheng Zhipeng and his wife being tied up, Ni Qushi sized them up with an evil grin on his face. At the same time, he also tried to think of a way to humiliate Cheng Zhipeng in order to curry favor with the Great General Situ. However, he suddenly realized that there was a problem. Thus, Commander Ni turned to look at the centurion and asked: "Where is his son?"
"Reporting to the lord, his son has fled!" The centurion replied timidly.
"Useless, you can't even do such a small thing, what's the use of me keeping you here?" Commander Ni scolded loudly.
"My lord, please calm your anger. My men are already pursuing that boy. I believe they will send him here soon!" The centurion quickly explained as he knelt on the ground. It was as if he had no bones.
"Hmph, it's best if nothing happens to you. Otherwise, I will take your life!" Commander Ni harrumphed coldly and said savagely.
"Yes, yes, there will definitely be no problems. I promise, I promise!" centurion kowtowed again and again, cursing and swearing to complete his mission, his back was drenched in cold sweat. If not for the armor, people would have already seen it.
The centurion hated the patrol leader to death. Otherwise, how could he let his captive go and let his enemy's son go? Fortunately, he was smart and didn't let that high-ranking officer come with him. Otherwise, he would be beaten to death just because of this bit of credit. Coincidentally, on their way back, they received news that many people had been severely injured. Furthermore, on the street where the influential nobles were staying, they heard that a shop had collapsed, making the matter extremely serious. Thus, the group leader had no choice but to bring his men to check the scene, which was why centurion himself had escorted the couple back for rewards.
"Cheng Zhipeng, you have that day as well! Back then you have flaunted your abilities in front of me. Now that you have become a prisoner, I want to see how you can still show off your strength! " Commander Ni ignored the centurion and said sarcastically to Cheng Zhipeng.
"My Old has never offended you before, even when I led troops out of the city, I was already suspended. What else do you have to be dissatisfied about, you just have to kill my entire family!" Cheng Zhipeng asked in confusion.
"Oh, he has a temper. Having a temper is a good thing, because maybe one day I will die from anger. There is no need to continue wasting food!" As for whether or not you've offended me, I'll tell you very responsibly that you've really never offended me! " Commander Ni explained to Cheng Zhipeng patiently.
"Then why did you capture my family?" Cheng Zhipeng asked loudly.
"You didn't offend me, but you offended someone that even I can't afford to offend. You can only blame yourself for this suffering!" Commander Ni extended a finger and waved it in front of Cheng Zhipeng, then pointed at the sky and said slowly.
"Pah! You can't afford to offend anything. I don't even have the qualifications to see the people you can't afford to offend. How could I possibly offend them?" "You want to frame me? I admit defeat today, but this has nothing to do with my family. Let them go, if you want to kill them or cut them into pieces, then do as you say!" Cheng Zhipeng did not care about his temper, and said angrily to Commander Ni.
"Alright, you have guts, you are a man, but I cannot promise you that, unless the person nods his head, but I must also teach you a lesson, Old, officials always emphasize on killing everything, it is impossible to give you or your descendants any chance to turn the situation around. Otherwise, why would those people who committed great crimes be executed by their entire family, and even nine families? Have you thought about it? " Commander Ni laughed in disdain, and then, he extended his face in front of Cheng Zhipeng and spoke in a low voice.
"Ni Qushi!" Cheng Zhipeng shouted.
"It doesn't matter if I die or not, but you will soon have a fate worse than death!" Commander Ni shook his hands once more as he retorted.
"Lord, he just called your name, not the three words' go to hell '!" The centurion at the side interrupted in an untimely manner.
"? ?." "Scram!" Only now did Commander Ni realize that his opponent was not scolding him, but rather calling him by name. However, it was hard to explain that he had heard wrongly, as that would simply be slapping himself in the face. Thus, he could only turn around and scold the centurion to cover up his embarrassment.
"You with the surname Cheng, let me tell you, you don't need to be slurping around here. I will say it clearly today, even if that lord inside doesn't kill people, after he torments you, I will still properly greet you until you beg me to kill you!" And your sons, and your wife, they're all fucking dead! " After commander Ni finished cursing, he turned around and said viciously to Cheng Zhipeng.
"Despicable!" Cheng Zhipeng scolded.
"Just scold me as you please. I would like to see how long you can continue scolding me. That's right, before that Lord doesn't act like you, it's not appropriate for me to do too much. However, if I were to make you feel a bit more uncomfortable, I would still be very willing to do it." Commander Ni looked in the direction of the manor in disdain before replying indifferently.
"Hmph. Call me out if there's anything you need. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Cheng Zhipeng proudly puffed out his chest, and said to Commander Ni.
"Men, put heavy shackles on me!" Commander Ni instructed.
The so-called 'heavy yoke' was a kind of shackle for people who were strong in martial arts. The yoke weighed three hundred jin, and it required the cooperation of five to six ordinary adults to carry the yoke. One could imagine the weight of these yoke, and for such a heavy yoke to be hung on a person's neck and shoulders, how could an ordinary person withstand it?
"Ni Qushi, you will die a horrible death!"
"I heard that your esteemed wife is also a heroine of the middle class. Since that's the case, how could she be any worse than you? Also a heavy shackle!"
"Ni Qushi, I, C your entire family! Your whole family will die a horrible death! "
"Curse, curse!" The more you scold me, the more I'll torture you. As long as you feel happy scolding me, I'll torture you. I guarantee that you two will be satisfied. " Commander Ni could not help but glance at Mrs. Cheng as he gloated.
"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off!"
"I'm sorry, I'm not afraid of ghosts. Men, cover their mouths. I do not wish for them to die so easily!" Commander Ni instructed once more.
After a short while, the two of them were covered in rags in their mouths, and the heavy bindings on their bodies were replaced with heavy flails. Then, Commander Ni Qushi ordered a few people to assist the couple in entering the house.
He knew that his death was inevitable, and he had never been afraid of death, but he could not bear to see his own wife being tormented and humiliated like this. Just from the gazes of those wretched soldiers, coupled with the fact that his wife did have some looks, he knew that they would definitely not let go of any opportunity to take over his wife. This was a cruel reality, but at this moment, they could not change anything.
The most despairing thing in life was that he did not even have the power to choose death, yet everything about him was being controlled by someone else. What kind of pain was this?
