The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 256

[Chapter 256: I’ve Never Suffered Such a Crime]

In the first two days, Erniu was quite lenient with him and did not let Li Tianlun do any work that required physical strength.

But every day he was so tired that he could not even lift his fingers before letting him go back to rest.

“What are you going to do with this guy?”

In the study at night, Xu Wenxuan waved his fan and looked at Lin Tian with a smile.

He had heard in the past few days that Li Tianlun was tortured by Erniu to the point of being worse than death, but he was very patient and endured it all.

Back then, Li Tianlun was the governor of Ningjiang City. Even if he did not embezzle or accept bribes, he was still a man who did not touch the water of spring spring water.

Every time he went out, he was surrounded by people, fearing that he would bump into something.

But now he has been reduced to being tortured by Erniu to do hard labor, and he does not even have the right to complain.

“Of course, let him believe me and become my undercover!”

Lin Tian raised the corner of his lips. The power behind Li Tianlun is not simple.

Those who can break into the prison so easily must be well-known names in the court!

If he hadn’t sneaked in earlier, Li Tianlun would have been rescued by those people!

“Can you still do this?”

Xu Wenxuan didn’t believe it, and looked at Lin Tian lightly.

“You can do it, but I need you to play a play with me in a few days.”

Lin Tian smiled meaningfully. He had prepared a big game of chess, waiting for Li Tianlun to enter the net.

Facing Lin Tian’s half-smile, Xu Wenxuan also understood a little.

It seems that this guy has already thought about what to do.

“I’ll wait and see!”

The two smiled at each other, chatted for a few more words, and then separated.

On this side, they were talking and laughing, while Li Tianlun was miserable on the other side.

“Being lazy again! Hurry up and get up and work!”

Li Tianlun finally got a chance to be lazy. Before he could take a few breaths and drink a sip of water, he was caught by Erniu.

“Snap–“

The whip fell on his back fiercely, and the sound was far less than the pain on his body.

Li Tianlun gritted his teeth and took a breath of cold air, but he didn’t dare to cry out in pain.

Because he knew that if he cried out in pain, he would be beaten even more severely!

This foreman seemed to have no heart, and would punch and kick him whenever he was in a bad mood. He

would restrain himself in the first few days, but later he became even more severe, and often didn’t even give him a chance to rest.

In the entire construction site, Li Tianlun was the one who got up the earliest and went to bed the latest.

“I’ll go now, I’ll go now!”

He gritted his teeth and stood up, ran to the pile of stones next to him in a rather embarrassed manner, and walked towards the other side with a few large stones on his back with difficulty.

The torture of the past few days was about to destroy his will. If he hadn’t listened to Lin Tian’s words, he would probably have escaped long ago.

When he finally got the opportunity to take a break, several workers next to him started chatting again.

“Hey, have you heard? Our governor was executed this morning!”

said a big man who looked quite strong.

“I’ve heard that the old thief deserves to die!”

“Yes, yes, damn it!”

Everyone obviously hated Li Tianlun, and they couldn’t help but start cursing him when they mentioned him.

The real Li Tianlun was drinking water silently beside them, listening to those people’s abuse of him.

“They are all stupid and unruly people! When I change my identity, I will naturally deal with you severely!”

His vicious eyes swept over the few people who talked the most, as if they had remembered their faces in their hearts.

He must return the humiliation he had suffered during this period of time to them in the future!

“Why are you all lying here? Why don’t you hurry up and work? Do you think I’m giving you free food?”

Just as everyone was chatting, a fierce-looking foreman came over with a whip and urged loudly.

Several people quickly put away their joking thoughts, hurriedly drank a few sips of water, and started a new round of work.

Until the moon was in the middle of the sky.

“Damn it, what kind of life is this, worse than pigs and dogs!”

Li Tianlun threw his shoes and socks aside fiercely. He began to doubt whether Lin Tian was trying to trick him.

Maybe Lin Tian didn’t come to save him at all, but just to bring him back to humiliate and torture him!

He had never suffered such a punishment since he was born, and he suffered it all over again in the past few days.

“I can’t live like this anymore!”

Li Tianlun lay on the bed, and the snoring of his co-workers around him was like thunder. He was extremely sober.

Finally, when the guards patrolling outside the door had all retreated, Li Tianlun quietly got up and carefully put on his shoes, socks and clothes.

During this period of time, he had already figured out the terrain here, so after bypassing the guards, he immediately found a low wall and prepared to climb over.

“Who’s there!”

But just when he climbed to the top of the wall and was about to climb over, Xu Wenxuan suddenly appeared on the other side.

“I… Bang!”

Li Tianlun was stunned and was about to answer.

But his feet were unstable and he stepped on the air and fell to the ground.

When he reacted, Xu Wenxuan was already standing in front of him.

…

“I said it was wrong for you to bring him back!”

In the hall, Xu Wenxuan’s face was obviously not good, pointing at Li Tianlun and saying to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian glanced at Li Tianlun, his eyes full of disapproval.

“Didn’t he escape? He was caught by you!”

Lin Tian leaned on the chair with his legs crossed, not caring about Xu Wenxuan’s questioning.

And his careless look made Xu Wenxuan even more angry, and he slammed the table.

“What if I didn’t catch him? A criminal of the imperial court! The criminal who was just executed today appeared in Ningjiang City!”

Xu Wenxuan was furious and slammed the table.

But Lin Tian seemed to be blind.

“For him, death is just a relief. Letting her suffer like this every day and be despised by others is the best punishment for him! If you want to destroy a person, you must first destroy his will.”

Lin Tian said calmly, giving an explanation that sounded awkward but reasonable.

“You…”

Xu Wenxuan seemed to have not expected Lin Tian to say this. He was stunned for a moment and stared at Lin Tian, unable to speak.

“Okay, okay, I can’t sleep in the middle of the night because of your noise!”

Lin Tian waved his hand nonchalantly and asked someone to take Li Tianlun away.

When Li Tianlun left the hall, Lin Tian gave him another subtle look, telling him not to act rashly.

This time Li Tianlun understood and completely believed Lin Tian.

After Li Tianlun left, Lin Tian and Xu Wenxuan removed the tit-for-tat expressions on their faces.

“I didn’t realize you were such a good actor!”

“You’re not bad at all!”
