Ruby's Otherworldly Adventure

Chapter 23 The Penitent

In the dark and damp prison, a man was sitting dejectedly on a pile of hay. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't slept for a few days.

A jailer squinted, leaning against the faded wall, yawning boredly.Two days ago, the prisoner kept making noises, or yelling at his brother-in-law, and sometimes begging the jailer to let him out, but now he finally accepted his fate and stopped making noise.

I heard that this prisoner was brought in to avenge his sister, but which prisoner who is going to be hanged doesn't have a story?The jailer snorted out of his nose, and cursed secretly for the damn world, even being a jailer can't live in peace.

After squinting for a while, the jailer heard the sound of approaching footsteps, which made him smart, and his waist straightened up, looking full of energy.He looked up and saw a jailer leading a juicy little girl in, he licked his lips, thinking in his heart that the prisoner was so beautiful and lucky, he was dying, and there was a woman thinking about him, and she didn't forget to bring him food. I wish I had such a wife.

Under the envious and obscene eyes of the jailer, the little girl approached the iron railing with a basket, and she cried, "Abel, I'm here to see you. How could you be so stupid to murder someone? Some misunderstanding happened, they wronged you, didn't they?" She looked at Abel expectantly.

Abel turned his face away, and said dryly: "I'm sorry, Natasha, I really wanted to kill that bastard! It's not wrong for them to arrest me."

Natasha couldn't believe it. She couldn't figure out that the lover she had always admired would be a murderer.

"I don't understand why you do such a thing." She asked heartbroken.

Abel said angrily: "That beast killed my sister! I have seen my sister's dead body, and there is not a single piece of her whole body intact. A girl who was so alive was beaten by him so badly. That damned beast, If I can get out, I must kill him and avenge my sister!" His eyes were bloodshot, and the expression on his face was horrific, as if he wanted to eat someone, and he wished he could bite off a piece of flesh from his enemy right now.

"Listen to me, Natasha, don't come to see me in the future." Abel said wearily: "Forget about me from now on, you are a good woman, and you have something to do with me, a criminal who is going to be hanged. It's bad for your reputation. Go back quickly, you deserve a better man to be your husband, don't hang on my crooked neck tree."

Natasha had tears in her eyes: "I don't want to go back, I want to stay here..."

However, before she could finish speaking, a hoarse voice interrupted her: "Tsk tsk, look what I have seen, the life and death of the young couple? Come on, it's too early to start this set, save it for later "The magistrate jokingly said: "Young man is lucky, you have a nobleman bailing you out, pack up and go now. Why, you are addicted to staying here, why don't you hurry up?"

The magistrate motioned for the following jailer to open the cell door, then turned and left, leaving the two stunned.

"Wait, Mr. Sheriff, can you tell us which lord saved me?" Abel thought to himself that the friends he knew didn't have any big figures like nobles, otherwise the bastard who was just a businessman would never dare to touch him.

"It's a knight." The magistrate replied kindly: "If I had known that you knew such a big man, you wouldn't have to suffer so much flesh and blood."

Abel left with the magistrate in a daze. After thinking for a long time, he didn't expect to have anything to do with such a big shot.After experiencing great joy and sorrow, Natasha also wept with joy and followed closely behind her lover.

After leaving the gloomy prison, Abel has never felt the sunshine so beautiful.He greedily breathed the free air, but saw the sheriff walking in front enthusiastically holding a young man's hand, and said courteously: "My lord, Mr. Abel, I have already brought it to you. He was not treated in prison. What harm is there, at most the spirit is a little depressed, we didn't use lynching indiscriminately."

'If I hadn't thought of resisting, I would have attacked everything as soon as I grabbed it, and I would have hurt more than just this point. ' said Abel.

The young jazz smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Magistrate is serious. You are the cornerstones of the kingdom. Of course I can trust it. Thanks to your help this time."

Jazz gave the magistrate enough face and greatly satisfied his vanity.Because there is a special noble court for noble crimes. According to the laws of the Kingdom of Brunei, nobles can only be judged by nobles. Not to mention being helpful, this alone can make him brag to his colleagues for a while.

The magistrate reluctantly said goodbye to Jazz, but Jazz didn't explain much, and directly motioned for the two to follow.Guessing that the other party was not malicious, Abel could only grit his teeth and keep up, whispered a few words to Natasha, and drove her back home.

What Abel didn't expect was that the young jazz brought himself to his house.Abel sat awkwardly on the leather sofa, anxiously waiting for Jazz to speak. Speaking of which, he was older than this young man, but Jazz had an oppressive aura that made him speechless.

The jazz said kindly: "Mr. Abel, I have already understood what happened to you and your sister. A kind lady heard the truth, please help me to save you. Please don't worry, your sister will not be wronged in vain, bad guy will be punished as it should be.”

Hearing that Abel blushed with excitement, he wanted to tear up that damned beast in his dreams, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and thanked tremblingly: "Thank you, sir, I don't know how to express my gratitude I am grateful to you, you saved my life and gave me a chance to take revenge, even if I work like a cow from now on, I will not be able to repay your kindness."

He was a little incoherent, and finally stood up excitedly: "Please be sure to let me know the name of that young lady. My younger sister died in an indistinct manner. It is thanks to this kind young lady that I can make that damn beast get retribution." , I know I don't deserve to be close to this noble lady, but I beg you to tell me her name so that I can have a chance to express my gratitude."

The Jazz rejected him calmly: "Mr. Abel, please don't get excited, let us take it slowly. And I am very sorry, because of a special reason, the identity of the lady is inconvenient to be revealed, so I can't tell you .”

Abel sat back in his seat disappointed. He sincerely expressed his understanding to the Sir. He guessed that this kind lady must be a noble lady. Wishing to let a lowly commoner know his name, thinking of this, he no longer insisted, but calmed down and waited for Sir's instructions. He believed that Sir did not bring him here just to tell him these things.

Sure enough, the Jazz said, "The businessman dismissed your sister's maids on the day she died. I took a lot of effort to find one of them and get a key testimony from her. The maid testified that the wealthy businessman had beaten his wife severely that day, and he pulled her hair and hit her against the wall, and kicked her in the stomach continuously until the lady vomited blood."

"She also admitted that the wife kept crying for pain, but the businessman didn't allow them to ask for a doctor for the wife. She said that when the businessman saw that the wife was about to die, he directly threatened to 'let that bitch die.', and sure enough, the lady died the next afternoon. .This is a document signed according to her statement. With her handprint and your testimony, we can fight a beautiful turnaround, and he will not escape the punishment of the law." Sir stared at it with his blue eyes Looking at Abel, as if confirming something.

"That bastard!" Abel clenched his fists and trembled with anger. He only knew that his sister was tortured to death, but he didn't know the details. After listening to Sir's retelling, his lungs were about to explode.

Unknowingly, Abel's eyes were filled with tears. Their parents died early, so he and his sister depended on each other since he was a child, and he didn't even care about his own lifelong affairs.When his younger sister was old enough to get married, he saw a rich businessman approaching him like a dog to propose marriage, thinking that he could make his younger sister happy and protect her instead of himself, but he didn't expect his stupidity to ruin his only relative .

Through Sir's sympathetic narration, Abel knew how his sister was in the hands of the devil.If he fled, he would be arrested, beaten and abused more cruelly. The people around him were all lackeys of businessmen. There was no one he could trust, so he couldn’t even send a message to his relatives asking for help. Abel could definitely think of his sister. How to die in despair.

He wiped away his tears, knelt down abruptly, and said to the Jazz with sobs: "I know that if it weren't for your action, the group of sheriffs would never care about such things, and that beast would never have suffered in this life." Some retribution, my rotten life is yours from now on, I voluntarily become your slave, and use my children and grandchildren to repay this kindness from generation to generation."

Jazz couldn't laugh or cry, he quickly pulled Abel up, and said kindly: "You misunderstood, I repeat, I am helping a lady, she is a kind lady, she will definitely not agree to such a 'return', As long as you can help others when they encounter difficulties in the future, you will be worthy of this lady's kindness."

Abel nodded fiercely, he blew his nose, and listened to the Sir's detailed plan cooperatively, striving to be complete. He knew that without the intervention of the nobles, the case would not be overturned so easily, and he would not be overthrown. Released on bail, after all, this is the privilege of the nobles.Just because he has no money and power, he can't even think about breaking the cunning businessman for 1 years.

He couldn't wait to see the merchant's fate in hell.
