Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 361 Rescue, the man in the dungeon

"Bah! I have nothing to do with him! You scolded him so well just now! He is just a hypocritical and despicable person, a scum of gentlemanly virtue." If you want to understand the situation, you must first form a united front with the person in front of you: "Tell me who you are and why you are locked up here, maybe I can take you out."

"Really? You can take me out?"

"Of course! But first you have to tell me why you are trapped here."

"Little girl, forget it. Go quickly! Don't let them find you. Even if you save me, I can't leave. My legs are broken. If I leave these chains, I'm worse than a dog."

"Uncle, don't lose heart! There will always be a way out." Yao Qingnian tried to speak as softly as possible.

"Girl, what year is it now?"

Yao Qingnian was not clear about the year division of this dynasty, and it was Shan Wei who told him.

"Hahahaha! It's been more than 20 years, more than 20 years! I can go out, I can still go out?" The man began to laugh.

"Of course you can get out, trust me, uncle!"

After staying in a place like this for more than 20 years, there must have been some physical and psychological problems. If not stupid, he would have gone crazy. It's good enough that he's still alive.

Under Yao Qingnian's guidance, the man began to recall the past.

"My name is Zhou Hao. When I was young, I was a small clerk in the shop of the Duke's Mansion. On weekdays, I was responsible for doing odd jobs in the shop and doing things within my ability.

Later, the young lady got married and the shop was moved to the Shangshu Mansion as a dowry. I followed her there. Fortunately, the lady appreciated me and I became the shop manager. I helped her manage the shop and check some accounts. With the help of the lady, I got married and my life became better and better.

I don't know how my wife is doing now. I suddenly disappeared without a trace. She must be very worried. Is that silly girl still waiting for me?"

"You're living a good life, why is Shen Wenting crazy enough to bring you in?" Since he is someone close to Chen Shuhua, why is he here?

"Shen Wenting was just a minor official back then, and he came from a small town. He was extremely poor, but after he married the young lady, he finally turned his life around.

Even so, he was still not satisfied and wanted to pocket all the profits from the lady's shop. He was afraid that the lady would find out, so he asked someone to make false accounts, which I discovered. He first came to me and wanted to bribe me privately to keep this secret and hand over the account books they had embezzled.

It's a huge sum of money. My lady has just been married to her for a short time and doesn't know much about these things. She left it to me and other managers to handle, and she only comes to check occasionally.

I have achieved so much with the help of my wife, so how could I possibly betray her? I advised Shen Wenting to be honest with his wife. She and he have such a good relationship, and as long as he is willing to tell the truth, she will definitely forgive him.

Shen Wenting, this beast, agreed on the surface, but he had already made plans behind the scenes. Before I could give the things to my wife, he trapped me here.

He called me to the study room on the pretext of having something to talk to me about, knocked me unconscious, and locked me up in this dungeon.

At first, he told me that as long as I handed over the account book, he would let me go and forgive me for my past mistakes. But I didn't believe him, so I asked him to confess to his wife and I would definitely hand over the account book.

Seeing that I was so stubborn, he was going to kill me. But later he changed his mind and said that he would make me suffer neither the fate nor the death.

Whenever he has free time or is in a bad mood, he will come down to vent his anger on me. I have long been numb to the wounds, big and small, on my body.

This leg was also broken by him. You don't know how I spent my time in this dark water dungeon. It was dark and damp. Every day I could only count the falling water drops and force myself to survive, thinking that as long as I didn't die, I would have a chance to get out."

I didn't expect Shen Wenting to be such a mentally ill person.

"What's going on with the corpses on the ground?" Yao Qingnian asked puzzledly.

"Haha, what can happen? It was all that beast's fault! He cut off pieces of flesh from those people right in front of me and fed them to the fish over there, saying that they deserved it! Did you see the corpse on your left? He came to cut off his flesh every few days, and it took more than three months before he died. Look, aren't the fish over there particularly plump? They are all piranhas that eat human flesh!"

"Ugh!" Yao Qingnian vomited directly. What the hell, human flesh to feed fish? It seems that she still underestimated people like Shen Wenting. No wonder he sent his own daughter to the countryside without blinking an eye. It was a blessing that she was not killed.

"Then why didn't he kill you?" If it was just for an account book, it wouldn't be necessary. So many years have passed and the matter has long been over. Even if there was no account book, according to Chen Shuhua's previous love-mindedness, she would have been fooled by him easily.

“Because I have something more important than the account book in my hand. Once he kills me, no one will know about it anymore.” The man’s voice gradually became quieter. It seemed that he had talked too much just now and was a little exhausted.

"It seems to be something very important! Otherwise, he would still have kept you alive after more than 20 years." Yao Qingnian suddenly became curious about what was so attractive to Shen Wenting.

"Hehe... He'll never be able to... get it in this lifetime." As soon as he finished speaking, the man fainted.

"Miss, it's getting late, we have to go out quickly." Shan Wei looked at the time. It would be troublesome if it was daybreak.

“Okay, wait for me, this man is useful, we must take him out.”

"Miss, get out of the way!" Shan Wei took out the sword in his hand and chopped at the chain, but the chain did not budge: "No, Miss, I can't cut it, I need the key!"

"Let me do it." Yao Qingnian observed the keyhole, then took out a hairpin from her sleeve and started to unlock the door. After a while, the lock was opened by her. After the lock was opened, the man collapsed to the ground as he said.

She first simply felt the man's pulse and gave him an injection to prevent him from waking up in the middle of the night. The smell on the man made her want to vomit again. This Shen Wenting was such a fucking inhuman. For more than 20 years, he didn't even let anyone take a bath. She had no choice but to find a sack, put the man in it, and let Shan Wei carry him out. The man was skinny and had very little flesh, but it was effortless to carry him.

Before leaving, Yao Qingnian glanced at the fish in the pond and thought, "Piranhas, huh? I'll let you go to hell. If I want to blame you, you can only blame yourself for following the wrong master."

She simply took out a handful of medicine powder and sprinkled it in, then left contentedly. After a while, all the fat and lively fish turned their bellies up.
