Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 31 Hanging
"Ugh...it hurts...huh?"

Gradually regaining consciousness from the chaos, in a daze, Bai Sanxiu first felt a pain in the back of her neck, and then felt a rough foreign object pressing her throat, bringing an ominous feeling of suffocation...

Her mind went blank for a moment, and then she suddenly woke up and figured out her current situation——

A hemp rope was wrapped around her neck, and her hands were tied behind her back!
No, can't you? !
It was pitch black all around, and she couldn't see anything at all. She moved a bit, and made sure that she was hanging in the air with a noose, but fortunately there was something under her feet that she could step on.But obviously, the height of the rope is carefully designed so that she can only stand upright, and if it is a little loose, the neck will be tightened.

She tried to struggle, but the rope on her hands was tied very tightly, and the rope around her neck was made into a loose buckle, which did not allow her to make any attempt to save herself.Well, there is no doubt now, she was right in her suspicions, she really hit the jackpot.

In the posture of raising her legs, she raised her left foot and bent it to her hand. She just groped for a while, when there was a click in the darkness, and then the sound of locks and wooden boards moving in the air ahead.Bai Sanxiu quickly stood up, and as the candlelight illuminated the steps step by step, she realized that she was in a cellar, and the person who opened the cellar door and came down was the owner of the miscellaneous bookstore.

The man slightly raised his head to look up at her, the orange light was dancing, but it could not detract from the eerie look in his brows.

"People can't be too studious, aren't they girls?"

"You, you are violating the criminal law and going to jail! It's fine if you don't sell books to me, but it's still a black shop!"

The shop owner snorted coldly: "Don't pretend to be garlic for me. To be honest, how much do you know?"

"Huh? Know what?"

She was at a loss, but the man didn't believe it at all, "You are from the government, right? If you can find out this, you are capable. Tell me, how much do you know?"

"No, what do you want me to say? What should I know? Huh? Wait—what are you doing?! Don't move, don't move!"

In the middle of pretending to be a fool, Bai Sanxiu couldn't help exclaiming, and quickly stood on tiptoe.The man came closer and started to make a move, only then did she realize that what she was stepping on was actually a stack of books, and when he took one away, the rope strangled her a bit, and she could only stand on tiptoe if she wanted not to suffocate.She just said how she wobbled when she raised her leg just now, and thought it was because she didn't stand firmly on one foot.

Is this the special torture method used by Turkic espionage? !

Seeing that the man was about to pick up the book again, she hurriedly said: "I said, I said! I knew that Kui Niang was an orchid, and she was in love with Master Du from Kubu, but because Mrs. Du disagreed, she broke contact. Then She died, probably out of reconciliation, and still causing commotion in the West Market. I am really not from the government, but a cook. When have you ever seen a woman in the government? I just saw Xiaocui come a few times. Dongshi is far away, so I just want to come to you to ask questions! Boss, brother, uncle, please let me down, I promise not to report to the official..."

Since this is a cellar, she couldn't see the sun outside, so she couldn't know what time it was, but considering that she was hung, she probably didn't fall asleep for too long, otherwise she would have died long ago.The trouble now is, how can she get out of the current predicament?
She was racking her brains, but the man sneered and said, "Hehe, you better not be from the government. The cook is even better, a mere servant, and no one cares if you die!"

He took another book slowly, unhurriedly, completely enjoying the process of torturing her.Bai Sanxiu hurriedly said: "Wait, if you have something to say, don't do it! You, you, or let me die to understand, are you related to Kuiniang's death? Otherwise, why are you kidnapping me?"

"Don't you Han people like to say that there is knowledge under the spring? You can go there and ask her directly!"

Nonsence!If it is really known under the spring, is Kuiniang still worthy of "scenting" in the West Market?Bai Sanxiu saw that it was really impossible to delay the time, so she hastened the movements of her hands.When she was in a state of desperation, there was another slight sound from the direction of the cellar door.
