"Jailer brother, please, let me out," pleaded Madam Liang, Lin Zhenfei's concubine of less than ten days, as she served food to the jailer who had just entered her cell.
"Let you out? I don't want to die either. Lin Zhenfei is someone whose nine generations of kin are to be executed. I dare not take that risk."
Hearing Madam Liang's words, the jailer's heart sank.
"Jailer brother, my life is so bitter. Eight days ago, I was rescued from my stepmother's poison by Master Lin. Afterward, he brought me back to the Duke Lin's mansion. I thought I would enjoy wealth and honor from then on, but after only a few days of peace, without having done anything, I was arrested and thrown into this prison. Don't you think it's unfair?" Lin Zhenfei's concubine, Madam Liang, cried.
"Heh, you can only call it bad luck," the jailer said coldly after listening.
"Isn't it? Jailer brother, I'm really so unlucky! Please, save me."
As Madam Liang spoke, she reached out and grabbed the jailer's thick hands that were distributing meat to her. Her fair, tender skin deliberately rubbed against the jailer's hands, while her captivating, fox-like eyes kept sending him alluring glances. The jailer was immediately stirred and could not help but swallow hard, his Adam's apple bobbing.
The women in the same cell as Madam Liang looked at her with disdain.
This woman truly had no bottom line, even seducing the jailer to save her life.
Madam Liang paid no mind to their gazes. Seeing that the jailer was successfully enticed, she deliberately lowered her collar, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of her fair, plump cleavage.
At this moment, the jailer silently mocked himself, "This woman is really cheap!"
"Wait a moment! I'll go out and check the situation outside."
The jailer neither agreed nor refused Madam Liang. After distributing the meat to the prisoners, he left.
A moment later, he returned with three unsavory-looking burly men.
"Woman, my three brothers have needs. Can you satisfy them?" the jailer who had distributed the meat said to Madam Liang with a lewd grin.
Madam Liang looked at the three burly men standing at the cell door. Although she was unwilling in her heart, she agreed to the jailers' demands for the sake of her life.
Subsequently, Madam Liang was taken away by these jailers.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhenfei, confined in another celestial prison, could only watch Madam Liang's actions with cold eyes. Although such things were commonplace in the dirty celestial prison, it was happening to his concubines, and his heart ached. Yet, he was powerless to stop their actions. He could only close his eyes, cover his ears, and sigh.
Before long, the sounds of men and women indulging in illicit pleasure echoed from outside the prison gate.
Lin Zhenfei and the men and women in the cells were all experienced. Upon hearing these indecent sounds, they knew exactly what was happening outside without needing to think.
Soon, the screams from outside became increasingly exaggerated, severely affecting everyone inside the prison.
"Duke Lin, it seems you haven't been satisfying your concubines enough. Otherwise, she wouldn't be screaming so wantonly," Fei Pang taunted without restraint.
"You—you good-for-nothing Fei Pang! If my martial arts weren't lost, I would have killed you long ago."
Upon hearing Fei Pang's words, Lin Zhenfei gnashed his teeth in anger.
"Hahaha..."
"Am I wrong? You just haven't satisfied your concubines enough, which is why they're seducing the jailers like this." Fei Pang burst into laughter again.
Hearing this, Lin Zhenfei glared at Fei Pang again, as if he could devour him.
But Lin Zhenfei could do nothing about Fei Pang.
An hour passed.
Madam Liang, Lin Zhenfei's concubine, was carried back to the prison by those burly men. However, she was so tormented by the jailers that she was barely clinging to life.
"You... you lied to me. Didn't you say that if I served you... you would let me go?" Madam Liang weakly questioned them, her voice hoarse.
"Heh! You're so foolish. I never promised to let you leave the celestial prison. You served us brothers out of your own wishful thinking."
"Besides, your master is a prisoner whose nine generations of kin are to be executed. We dare not risk our lives to let you leave the celestial prison."
"And your skills at serving are too poor..."
"And your salty fluid taste is also very strong. I don't know how Duke Lin could stand you..."
These jailers spoke such unspeakable words in front of Lin Zhenfei and all the prisoners.
As they spoke, the jailers again broke into lewd laughter.
"Hahahahaha..."
This made Madam Liang wish she could die immediately.
Another hour passed.
Yan Song, with a group of soldiers, entered the celestial prison to escort Lin Zhenfei and Fei Pang to be beheaded at the Meridian Gate.
Lin Hongtao, upon seeing the soldiers who were to drag him out of his cell, wet himself again. His foul-smelling urine dripped through his crotch onto the prison floor, and soon, the strong stench of urine filled half the cell, making everyone sick.
However, Lin Hongtao could not escape the fate of being dragged out by the soldiers to be beheaded.
He, along with his father Lin Zhenfei and Fei Pang, were all fitted with large, heavy wooden cangues by the soldiers and loaded into a prisoner cart, then slowly pulled by horses to the Meridian Gate for execution.
However, the Lin father and son suffered greatly as they passed through each street along the way.
The citizens of the capital, knowing that the Lin father and son were to be beheaded today, had already prepared baskets of rotten eggs and piles of spoiled vegetables along both sides of the streets.
When the people of the capital saw the Lin father and son's prisoner cart approaching, they took out the rotten eggs and spoiled vegetables they had prepared and hurled them at the Lin father and son. Even Fei Pang was pelted with eggs by the citizens.
But among them all, Lin Hongtao suffered the worst from the citizens' barrage.
"Big brother, big brother, that scoundrel Lin Hongtao is here."
At that time, Shi Zhenhe's siblings, also carrying rotten eggs and spoiled vegetables, squeezed through the crowd and continuously threw them at Lin Hongtao.
The siblings hated that fat pig Lin Hongtao fiercely. They recalled that if it weren't for the Cold Consort saving their sister, she would have likely been sold into a brothel by Lin Hongtao by now.
Furthermore, if their sister had indeed been sold into a brothel by Lin Hongtao, he would have fought Lin Hongtao to the death, regardless of the consequences.
Fortunately, he and his sister Shi Qingqing had the good fortune to meet the kind-hearted Cold Consort.
At that time, when the Cold Consort saw Lin Hongtao bullying them, she unhesitatingly extended a helping hand to them and taught Lin Hongtao a lesson.
