Slay demons and gain sixty years of skill at the beginning

Tiandu, inner city, Mingjingsi Prison.

Unlike the Jingtian Division, which has branches in all states of Daxia and even in outer cities, there is only one Mingjing Division, located in the inner city of Tiandu.

The prison of the Mirror Division is divided into several floors, all of which are underground. The environment is dark and humid. It is easy to contract various diseases if you stay there for a long time. Even if no punishment is imposed, ordinary people will not survive here for too long.

At this moment, in an interrogation room on the first floor of the Mirror Department Prison, Gu Chengfeng had messy hair, was wearing prison uniform, handcuffs and shackles, and was locked on the execution rack. His face was pale, and there were thick traces of blood all over his body.

The bloodstains, some places were even bloody, as they had been tortured for a long time.

On both sides of him stood a jailer, staring at him with a cold face. The torture instruments in his hands were full of blood, and they fell to the ground drop by drop.

In front of Gu Chengfeng, Liu Ningyuan had a sneer on his lips, sitting there peacefully, admiring Gu Chengfeng's miserable state.

There is also a page of paper placed on the desk, which is a confession that Liu Ningyuan has already drafted.

"Gu Chengfeng, there are two ways before you now. You can either plead guilty and be imprisoned on your own, or I can help you plead guilty and be imprisoned after being tortured. The first option will save you a lot of suffering. The second option,

You know." Liu Ningyuan said casually.

Gu Chengfeng had been tortured for a long time and had lost any strength. If there were no torture instruments holding him here, he would have collapsed long ago.

Hearing Liu Ningyuan's words, Gu Chengfeng smiled coldly. He had been an official for many years and he didn't know all the twists and turns. After entering here, it doesn't matter whether he pleads guilty or not, or whether he draws or not, because the Mirror Department has a hundred or even

There are a thousand ways to make him draw. Liu Ningyuan said this just to torture him and destroy the last line of defense in his heart.

Liu Ningyuan just wanted to see Gu Chengfeng begging for mercy, begging for his life, and letting him say these words. Once he said it, Liu Ningyuan's goal would be achieved.

Seeing Gu Chengfeng's desolate look, Liu Ningyuan snorted coldly and said, "I can't tell that you, the commander of the Sword Guards in the outer city of Tiandu and a seventh-grade official, are quite brave.

, It’s a pity that this is the Mirror Division Prison, and no one who comes in can get out alive.”

Then, Liu Ningyuan shook his head slightly, sighed, and said in a pretentious manner: "Do you know that a small person like you is just a grain of sand in the desert, inconspicuous. Every year, there are countless executions in the Mirror Division Prison.

What's more, you buy and sell an official position, which is a serious crime. Even princes and ministers can't escape the life of beheading. You are just a seventh-grade official, so you might as well plead guilty and accept it calmly. Of course, you can

Choose to beg for mercy. I am a very talkative person. Maybe if I am in a good mood, I will let you suffer less."

Gu Chengfeng remained silent. He knew what Liu Ningyuan meant. This was telling him that even if Gu Chengfeng was beaten to death here today, no one would care. Except for a limited number of people, no one would care.

To know what happened here, after all, he, Gu Chengfeng, is indeed insignificant, and no one can seek justice for him.

In fact, when he entered the Mirror Division Prison, Gu Chengfeng never thought about getting out alive. The only thing he thinks about now is that he hopes not to implicate his wife, daughter, and nephew.

Liu Ningyuan sat there calmly, looked at Gu Chengfeng, and said expressionlessly: "Why, you still want to persist, unwilling to admit guilt, unwilling to beg for mercy?"

Gu Chengfeng looked cold and said: "Why should I plead guilty to something I haven't done?"

"Tsk, tsk."

Liu Ningyuan shook his head, waved his hand, and asked the two jailers to leave first. After the two men left the interrogation room, he stood up and came to Gu Chengfeng, whispering in his ear: "Of course I know.

You are innocent."

After hearing this, Gu Chengfeng's eyes suddenly froze, and he turned his head to look at Liu Ningyuan.

Liu Ningyuan looked directly at Gu Chengfeng and said lightly: "All this is a trap set by me, but it is not just you, but your entire Gu family."

Speaking of this, Liu Ningyuan's face darkened, he looked at Gu Chengfeng with ferocious eyes, and said viciously: "Your nephew severely injured my only son, and he is still lying in bed unconscious until now. My son's martial arts has completely failed.

More than half of the time, you tell me, do I want revenge? Not only do I want revenge on you, I want revenge on your entire Gu family, especially your nephew. I want to make his life worse than death. Don’t worry, it won’t be long before he will

I came in to accompany you."

"You!"

When Gu Chengfeng heard this, he was immediately furious. He kept struggling, and there were loud clattering sounds from the handcuffs and shackles on his body, while Liu Ningyuan stood aside and looked at him coldly.

"If you want to blame, blame your damn nephew. If not for that, I am a second-level mirror wielder, how could I deal with you, a mere seventh-grade sword guard commander, in such a big way?"

"Bah!"

Gu Chengfeng sprayed a mouthful of blood foam directly on Liu Ningyuan's face, and said angrily: "Looking at your appearance, I can tell what kind of behavior your son is like. Like father, like son. Dalang did well, but it would have been me."

, will only strike harder and more cruelly than Da Lang, your son deserves it!"

"Seeking death!"

Liu Ningyuan looked fierce, raised his hand and hit Gu Chengfeng on the side. There was a click, and his palm directly broke several of Gu Chengfeng's ribs.

Gu Chengfeng had a resolute face and was extremely tough. He gritted his teeth and stared at Liu Ningyuan fiercely without saying a word.

Liu Ningyuan wiped the blood on his face, looked gloomy, and said coldly: "Pretending, I hope you can still have such backbone until the end. Don't worry, after you die, your nephew will be with you soon."

, As for your wife and daughter, hehe, I will help you take care of them."

At the end, a cold smile appeared on Liu Ningyuan's face.

"You scumbag, I will fight with you!"

Hearing Liu Ningyuan's words, Gu Chengfeng's eyes suddenly turned red, he gritted his teeth, and tried his best to break free from the restraints on his body and fight Liu Ningyuan desperately.

Liu Ningyuan looked at this scene indifferently and said: "I have told your wife and daughter that as long as they are willing to let me control them, they can save your life. Do you think your wife and daughter will agree?"<

/p>

"Ah - I'm going to kill you!"

Gu Chengfeng kept roaring, and his brain was congested. As he continued to struggle, many wounds on his body that had stopped bleeding opened again, and blood spattered out.

Liu Ningyuan showed no expression, ignored Gu Chengfeng, turned around and left directly.

……

Outer City, Gu Mansion.

It was already approaching dusk, and it was time for dinner, but no one in the Gu family was in the mood to eat, and the atmosphere in the room was unusually dull.

Xu Qing'e was sitting there, but her face had become quite haggard in just one day, and her face lacked blood. She had been sitting here since she woke up, saying nothing and not drinking water.

Gu Qingyan sat next to Xu Qing'e. Seeing her mother like this and thinking that her father might be suffering, she pursed her lips tightly and remained silent for a long time. She seemed to have made some kind of decision and said softly: "Mom, how about I

..."

Xu Qing'e didn't know what her daughter was thinking, so she interrupted Gu Qingyan directly and said in a very firm tone: "No, I won't let you do that. I can't sacrifice you anyway. If things really come to that point, and

I..."

At the end of the sentence, Xu Qing'e's palms were trembling slightly.

"Mother..."

Gu Qingyan bit her red lips tightly. Seeing her mother's expression, she could no longer hold on. Pearl-like tears rolled down from her eyes.

At this moment, Xu Qing'e could no longer pretend to be strong, tears fell from her eyes, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and kept sobbing.

When the maids and servants on the side saw this, they also stood there secretly wiping their tears. They had been in Gu Mansion for many years, and Gu Chengfeng's family treated them very well. Now that they knew that Gu Mansion was in trouble, they all felt uncomfortable.

.

The entire Gu Mansion is immersed in an atmosphere of sadness at this moment.

I don’t know how much time passed before the crying gradually stopped.

"Don't worry, Qingyan, everything will pass and everything will be fine." Xu Qing'e stroked Gu Qingyan's long hair and comforted her softly.

"Mom, is it true? Will everything get better? Will father come back?" Gu Qingyan, who was in Xu Qing'e's arms, raised her head and looked at Xu Qing'e with tearful eyes.

"Yes, it will get better." Xu Qing'e had tears in her eyes and kept nodding, as if she was comforting herself.

"By the way, there is also eldest brother. Should we tell eldest brother? He will be able to find a solution, right mother?" Gu Qingyan's eyes suddenly lit up when she thought of Gu Chen who worked in Jingtiansi.

Xu Qing'e shook her head. After following Gu Chengfeng for a long time, she still knew something. Not to mention that Jingtiansi and Mingjingsi were two organizations, Gu Chen was just the first-order patrol envoy of Jingtiansi, and Liu Ningyuan, that day

Xu Qing'e also saw the official uniform and knew that it was a second-level mirror holder. She was still very aware of the weight of a second-level mirror holder. This matter was not something Gu Chen could solve at all.

Moreover, in Xu Qing'e's view, Gu Chen has a stubborn temper. If he learns about this incident, he will probably be unable to control his temper and forcefully go to Liu Ningyuan for revenge. This is tantamount to an egg hitting a stone, and in this way

, Liu Ningyuan’s goal was achieved.

Now that something happened to Gu Chengfeng, Xu Qing'e didn't want something to happen to Gu Chen as well. If possible, she would rather Gu Chen never knew about it.

Hearing this, Gu Qingyan's eyes instantly dimmed again.

"Qingyan, remember, you must not tell your elder brother about this matter, and you must not let him know about it, do you understand?" Xu Qing'e said solemnly.

"I understand." Gu Qingyan whispered.

At this time, the door of the Gu Mansion was pushed open. When Xu Qing'e and Gu Qingyan heard the sound, they stared at the door nervously like frightened rabbits, thinking that Liu Ningyuan was here again.

But the next second, when they saw a familiar figure appear at the door, the two of them suddenly felt relieved.

When Gu Chen walked into the Gu Mansion, he was keenly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the house, especially since the eyes of his aunt Xu Qing'e and his sister Gu Qingyan were red, and he suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong? Did something happen while I was away?"
