Chapter 984 This person will never return to this world.
Tan Wen wanted them to be unable to bring themselves to do it!
Before they could figure it out, someone had already prepared everything—a large bench was placed in the yard;
The jailer and several guards were also pushed onto benches and made to lie down.
As for the board, it was also handed over to those officials...
What else can we do? Let's fight!
Just be careful with your money!
Several officers, each holding a board, walked to a row of benches.
The officer whispered, "Brother, I'll take it easy, you shout louder!"
Those who were bracing themselves for a beating felt slightly relieved upon hearing this and nodded almost imperceptibly.
"It's getting late, let's get started!"
After they've received twenty lashes, throw them in jail!
After saying this, Tan Wen turned around, flicked his sleeves, and left, returning to his office.
If the adults aren't around to supervise, then things will be even easier!
"Crackling sounds..." Coupled with the screams, the execution scene was quite lively!
Twenty strokes weren't much; they were over quickly!
A group of officials came forward and hurriedly helped the jailer and several guards to the cell where the officials rested and slept, making them line up and lie on the kang (a heated brick bed).
It's impossible not to feel pain after taking twenty lashes!
However, there was almost no bleeding, just some swelling and pain.
"Thanks, brother!"
The person who was beaten sincerely thanked the person who beat them!
"Alright, no need to thank us. Can't you see? This water was released by the Northern Garrison Commander out of kindness!"
Lord Tan never intended to kill you; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked us brothers to give you a beating!
However, something did happen while you were on duty, so the adults have to make a show of it.
Alright, the fight's over, so this matter has little to do with you anymore!
"You can rest for a couple of days, then go about your business as usual, just remember how good Lord Tan was to you!"
The jailer and guards all nodded in understanding.
A similar scene to that in the imperial prison... also unfolded in the Shuntian Prefecture prison!
In the dead of night, Wang was first plagued by nightmares...
While she was screaming and yelling, she not only scratched herself, but also scratched Zhang Miaotong, who was sleeping next to her!
Zhang Miaotong was awakened from her sleep by a sudden, sharp pain!
Before she could even understand what was happening, she felt a relentless throbbing pain in her face and head...
In the cell, amidst Wang's frantic shouts and screams, Zhang Miaotong's cries of pain and agony suddenly joined the din!
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Miaotong's face was covered in scratches;
Strands of hair were pulled from his scalp and scattered on the weeds on the ground.
Zhang Miaotong's scalp and face were covered in blood; it was a truly gruesome sight!
Zhang Miaoying, who was sleeping alone by the fence, was also awakened by the chilling screams coming from this side.
Zhang Miaoying suddenly opened her eyes and looked over, only to see her mother and younger sister tearing at each other in a frenzied and chaotic fight!
Zhang Miaoying initially thought that the mother and daughter had a conflict over something, and didn't want to get involved.
But then I looked again... and the mother and daughter were just scratching and tearing at each other, screaming wildly. From their screams, I couldn't tell why they were fighting so frantically.
Look closer... this is clearly two madmen fighting!
Watching the mother and daughter tearing at each other frantically, Zhang Miaoying's heart suddenly stirred...
Shouldn't those dishes from last night have contained...
The mother and her two daughters woke up to find themselves all still alive...
Was there no poison in those dishes?
Could it be that I have misunderstood Xiao Jingyi?
Otherwise... how are they still alive?
Then I thought... wait a minute!
Could this madness... be the intended effect of the drug?
Thinking of this, Zhang Miaoying looked again at her mother and younger sister over there...
Seeing their bloody and miserable state, Zhang Miaoying felt cold and pained!
So cold I shivered, so painful I trembled all over!
If such madness is truly caused by the effects of medication, then it would be more swift and humane to give them some poison that would kill them instantly!
Human nature... haha... so funny!
I actually still hoped that Xiao Jingyi had any humanity!
At this moment, Zhang Miaoying hated Xiao Jingyi more than ever before!
Even if they have to die, don't let them die like this!
Xiao Jingyi, you are so cruel!
Zhang Miaoying gritted her teeth in hatred!
She also wanted to grit her teeth and let the mother and daughter tear each other apart until they died, to end it all.
Since my fate is likely to be the same regardless, who else can I pity?
However, those were his own mother and his own sister.
Even if we're all going to die, let's try to die with some dignity!
Thinking of this, Zhang Miaoying wanted to stand up and walk over to separate the mother and daughter.
As soon as she stood up, Zhang Miaoying felt as if a monster had suddenly appeared in her heart and mind...
The monster stared at him with blood-red eyes, its face contorted in a ferocious mockery...
Looking at that ugly face, I wanted nothing more than to pounce on it and tear it to shreds!
With the last shred of reason remaining, Zhang Miaoying realized that the drug's effects... were beginning to take hold in her body!
I imagine that soon I will become like my mother and sister, going mad, tearing each other apart, self-harming, and hurting each other...
Zhang Miaoying bit her lip so hard that it bled, using the pain to force herself to stay conscious.
But she gradually felt that she was losing control of her two hands!
At this moment, Zhang Miaoying heard shouts and hurried footsteps approaching from afar.
The jailers must have heard the commotion and come over.
Zhang Miaoying turned back again, took one last look at the mother and daughter who were still unconsciously and desperately tearing at each other, and closed her eyes tightly in pain.
When Zhang Miaoying opened her eyes again, she heard the sound of the lock being opened on the prison door.
Without further hesitation, relying on her last shred of reason, Zhang Miaoying slammed herself against the thick pillar...
When the jailers came in, they saw Zhang Miaoying's body slump down...
The blood flowing from Zhang Miaoying's head stained half of her face red.
The excruciating pain in her head brought Zhang Miaoying a sense of relief...
I can go like this now!
I can say I died with some dignity!
The shouts and cries of the jailers mingled with the screams and screams of the mother and sister over there, creating a chaotic scene...
Amidst the commotion, Zhang Miaoying slowly closed her eyes!
I'm gone... I'll never come back to this world again!
