What shocked Luo Changhe the most was the news that came along with the order: An Imperial Emissary had written this matter into a memorial and presented it to the Emperor. Who knew that after a cursory glance, the Emperor would casually throw it on the dragon table and say, "I didn't think that the people of the Du Residence of Xiangyang would still be so nosy. Since they want to protect Li Jin, why not join hands with him and let Li Jin be innocent? "This matter shall come to an end. No one shall discuss it any further!"
Afterwards, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, East Manor, Ministry of Public Relations, Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice and other relevant yamen officials all ordered their subordinates to stop handling this matter. Otherwise, they would be severely punished without holding back.
This went against everyone's expectations, and even exceeded Luo Changhe's expectations. Only now did he realise the Du Clan's strength, ability, and influence was so great that they no longer dared to attempt to discipline the Du Clan, but the hatred in his heart grew day by day. Towards the existence of the Du Clan, it was as if he was stuck in his throat, like a thorn in his back, yet he couldn't move, unable to leave. This became an eternal pain in his heart.
Now, the overweeningly mighty Du Residence had been turned into ashes in a single night, and all resistance was gone, leaving behind only a child. How could this not make Luo Changhe overjoyed?
Du Qi only occasionally heard his grandfather and father talk about the feud between Luo Changhe and his family, so he did not have much of an impression of them. However, he remembered Luo Changhe, and upon hearing what Luo Changhe said, he could not help but suddenly say, "So it's you!"
Luo Changhe laughed proudly, "That's right, it's me, Luo Changhe!"
At this point, everyone understood Luo Changhe's intentions, they knew that by doing so, he could cause the Du Clan's survivors to lose their freedom or even lose their lives. Since the dead could not be buried, it was obvious that they were here to clean up the Du Residence, but under the pressure of Luo Changhe, Huang Da naturally did not dare to go against his wishes and took responsibility for Du Qi. Guo Qinggong had the same thoughts as Luo Changhe. Seeing his wish come true, Guo Qinggong's happiness was no less than Luo Changhe's.
Du Qi looked at Luo Changhe and Guo Qinggong's complacent expressions and felt that the past glory of the Du Residence was just like clouds in the sky, and the prestige left behind by countless generations of ancestors would be ruined. However, he himself was unable to face Luo Changhe's provocation, nor could he turn the tide. Then, he turned to Huang Da and said, "Sir Huang, can I take care of my family's affairs first before going with you?"
Huang Da actually didn't dare to make a decision. He mumbled, "This, this, this matter should …"
Luo Changhe interrupted Huang Da just in time, and said in a sharp voice, "Constable Huang!" This was clearly a crime scene, how could it be so easily destroyed? Are you really going to cover this kid up? "
Guo Qinggong added in a loud voice, "Constable Huang, if you don't make a move, I'll make a move. At that time, don't tell the Imperial Secret Service that we are meddling in other people's affairs!"
Although everyone knew that Luo Changhe had some ulterior motives, they did not expect him to force Huang Da to arrest Du Qi with just a few words. Huang Da couldn't help but secretly feel happy for Qingshan, while Yao Fugui, Chang Xiaowu, and the others were secretly anxious, but they were powerless. At this point, Yao Fugui could no longer hold himself back and said, "Sir Huang, your position here is the highest.
Chang Xiaowu put aside his misgivings and stepped forward, "That's right sir Huang, should we first take care of the Du Clan's remains before dealing with other matters?"
Huang Da actually wanted to protect Du Qi, but hearing Yao Fugui and Chang Xiaowu's words, he felt that it was reasonable, and was about to make a decision according to their wishes, when he suddenly heard Luo Changhe snort, and could not help but reassess the situation, knowing that even if he did not bring Du Qi away, Guo Qinggong would not let him go easily. Rather than letting Du Qi fall into the hands of the Imperial Secret Service, he might as well take control of Du Qi himself. "Do you believe that I can even lock you up in the prison?!"
Yao Fugui and Chang Xiaowu did not dare to make a sound, Du Qi did not seem to care about the situation, and smirked, "Master Huang, do not make things difficult, please make your move, but my family was suddenly in a terrible situation, my family's corpse is still exposed, please send someone to protect them, I, Du Qi, am extremely grateful!"
Huang Da did not say anything further and gave a meaningful glance to the two constables beside him. The two constables immediately understood, and with a "hua" sound, they pulled out the iron chains around their waists and aimed it at Du Qi.
Seeing that he was fearlessly allowing two policemen to tie him up tightly, Huang Da felt quite sorry. He was also deeply impressed by Du Qi's demeanor, and couldn't help but feel a surge of pride as he shouted, "Good man! Just based on the word 'please' from Young Master Du, I, Huang Da, will definitely not let Young Master down! Shen Chun, Qin Dingkun, the two of you stay here and watch. If anyone dares to touch any of the plants here, arrest them. Then, without even looking at Luo Changhe and Guo Qinggong, he walked away with Du Qi. He was obviously dissatisfied with Luo Changhe and Guo Qinggong's actions, and it was inconvenient for him to go against Luo Changhe's wishes, so he had no choice but to compete with him in the dark.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal this time, Luo Changhe couldn't help but feel satisfied, and started to secretly plan on how to deal with Du Qi in the prison. At this moment, he chuckled dryly, glanced at everyone with an indifferent gaze, and sighed as if he was talking to himself. "I wonder just how mighty the Du Residence used to be in the past. However, today, it turns out that it is no wonder … Sigh!" Then he and Guo Qinghong slowly turned around and disappeared under the angry stares.
He wandered around for a while and then said to Chang Xiaowu, "Chang Ye, remember what you said today. There will be a day when I will settle this score with you." Then he led his gang and left in a dejected manner.
Xia Lingwei, He Shengliang and the other members of the gang were all sighing with emotion. They called out to everyone as they dispersed and disappeared from the front and back of the house. Chang Xiaowu was stunned for a long time before he arranged for twenty members of the gang to assist Shen Chun and Qin Dingkun in protecting the ruins of the Du Family.
The permit helplessly watched as everyone left one by one. It was a long time before it suddenly rose into the air and flew towards the nearby rooftops before instantly disappearing into the layers of houses.
Yao Fugui followed Huang Da and the group around a corner. He ran up to Huang Da and said, "Sir Huang, this must be the truth. Why don't we just let Little Qi go?"
It wasn't that Huang Da hadn't thought about it this way, but the consequences were hard to predict. He could not help but sigh and dejectedly said, "Sigh, I also want to, but I can't."
Yao Fugui was puzzled, "This Mister Huang said something, what is impossible?"
Huang Da said, "Things are not as simple as you think, sigh …"
Yao Fugui was about to say something, but Du Qi advised, "Uncle, you don't have to think about it too much. Getting me into the prison is at the very least Luo Changhe's goal. Otherwise, how would he be willing to let this go?"
Yao Fugui worriedly replied, "But as long as we enter that place, we will lose everything we have. We can only be slaughtered by others. Isn't that place a fun place to go?" What should I do? "
Huang Daxian was worried that he might not be able to take care of Du Qi in the future. He couldn't help but ask with some worry, "Does Young Master Du have any good connections?"
Du Qi thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, please head immediately to the northwest of the city to look for Daoist Qiu Feng. Perhaps he is the only one who can save me."
Although Yao Fugui didn't know who Daoist Qiufeng was, his eyes still lit up when he heard this. It was as if he had seen the light in the endless darkness, but he still resented Luo Changhe and Guo Qinggong.
Huang Da said worriedly, "Is Taoist Qiufeng of any use?" Young Master Du, can you think about it again and see if there is anyone willing to help you? "
Du Qi lightly smiled and said, "Mister Huang, there is no need to worry. It is not a serious matter."
Huang Da knew that it would be easy to capture Du Qi in the prison, but it would be very difficult to release him. He couldn't think of a way to help Du Qi get out of this situation safely, so when he saw Du Qi looking so relaxed, as if he was a guest, and didn't know the upcoming tribulation, he couldn't help but feel sad for him.
The prison walls of the Xiangyang Manor were high, and were heavily guarded. Only one door connected with the outside world. The prisoners in the cells near the gate had all been moved away and cleaned thoroughly. Huang Da personally sent Du Qi to this cell. After instructing the guards to take good care of him, he reluctantly left with a sigh.
Although he was prepared for this, his heart couldn't help but sink as the door slammed shut behind him. Unprovoked loss, unknown change, endless loneliness, inexplicable fear and the feelings of losing his freedom assaulted him at the same time, leaving him with a blank mind and a limp body. He suddenly thought of his dead loved ones, all of whom were buried in the wild, their noses sore and their eyes bulging, wanting to cry out loud, but he was strong enough to bury it deep within his heart and let the great grief and grievance gnaw at his soul.
After muddle-headed for an unknown period of time, Du Qi faintly felt that someone was walking towards him. He hurriedly gathered his strength and turned around to sit up. Only then did he have the time to observe his surroundings. Sitting in a dark corner, his first thought was: "This place is not a human place!"
Following the sound of footsteps, Yao Fugui's figure appeared in front of Du Qi. From afar, Yao Fugui called out, "Little Qi, are you alright? Are you alright?"
Seeing that Yao Fugui had arrived, Du Qi was overjoyed. Thinking for a moment, he quickly replied, "I'm fine, your uncle just happened to come at the right time. I was busy with something."
While speaking, Yao Fugui had already arrived in front of Du Qi. Seeing that Du Qi was still unharmed, he relaxed and mockingly said, "Little Qi, you're speaking in such a foreign manner, is there a need to be so courteous between us two uncles? "If you have something to say, just say it. I, Yao Fugui, do not have any other skills, so I can just run errands for you."
Du Qi smiled shyly and mysteriously said, "Ask your uncle to go see someone and tell him about my situation. He will come to save me …"
After Yao Fugui patiently listened to Du Qi's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't have the time to speak up, nor did he have the time to sit down and rest. He quickly followed Du Qi's instructions.
After careful consideration, Du Qi was finally able to relax. He believed that in a few days, he would be out of jail, and Luo Changhe would have to pay the price. As he thought of this, he sat down cross-legged, immersing himself in pleasure. When he was bored out of his mind, he suddenly felt the jade pendant in front of his chest tremble slightly, suddenly cool and then warm. With a thought, he quickly rid himself of any distractions and focused on his dantian, instantly entering the state of forgetfulness.
In one move, Du Qi felt that his meridians were filled with true qi. The two flows of true qi, cold and hot, traveled side by side and occasionally entangled together. They rotated as they gathered towards his dantian, gradually becoming thicker. The cold air continuously poured in from the Baihui acupoint on top of his head. The hot air kept rising from the Yongquan acupoint on his feet and gradually merged into the zhenqi in his body, continuously expanding his meridians and filling his dantian.
It was as if thousands of ferocious beasts were rampaging inside his body, and also as if countless steel needles were stabbing into his meridians. Not only that, but what was even worse was that the jade pendant in front of his chest was sometimes ice-cold, sometimes hot, and sometimes cold. The feeling would seep into his body along with the flow of his zhenqi, and the phenomenon of sudden cold and heat would appear again. The pain of being frozen, scalded, and scalded was unbearable, intertwined and intertwined.
Du Qi gritted his teeth and endured the inhumane torture. Using his unparalleled willpower, he directed his true energy to spread to the various meridians and acupoints, and to condense it into his dantian at the same time. One was cold while the other was hot. The two streams of Zhen Qi rotated and entwined in his dantian as if they were real. They gathered more and more and gradually started to rush to his perineum.
If anyone had been present to see him in this state, they would have been scared to death. The left side of his body was covered in a layer of Pu Bing, the right side of his skin was red, and his clothes and the straw beneath him were emitting strands of green smoke, as if they were about to be set on fire.
What Dookie found most unbearable was that all the pain seemed to be concentrated at the end of the hole, as if it had become a battlefield, a battleground, a focal point, all the collisions, all the thorns, all the freezes, all the burns.
His meridians seemed to be on the verge of bursting, his blood seemed to be on the verge of burning dry, his body seemed to be about to freeze solid, causing DuDu extreme pain. It was as if all of the pain and pain had been applied to his body, torturing him at the same time.
Just as he was about to lose control of his own body, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his Yin Meridian, followed by a sudden burst of heat and relaxation in his back. A fine layer of sweat appeared on his back, and the remaining cold and heat in his body seemed to have been discharged from there, spreading up his spine and down his entire body in an instant.
