Pan Weizhi lashed out with his whip, striking Liu Lin across the face, and roared, "If you dare to spout any more nonsense again, I'll whip you right now! All the ministers of my Great Song Dynasty are loyal to the emperor and love their country, so don't try to sow discord!"
Liu Lin screamed in agony, "Spare me! Spare me! I really didn't lie. When Wanyan Zongwang marched south to attack Hebei Road, my father was the Judicial Commissioner of Hebei West Road. He received a letter from Dongjing City, which was entrusted to my father to deliver to Wanyan Zongwang. It was a letter seeking peace and ceding territory, and it also contained information about the actual situation in Dongjing City. It was after reading that letter that Wanyan Zongwang learned the true situation of Dongjing City and decided to advance deep into enemy territory with his own army!"
Pan Weizhi still seemed reluctant to believe it, and lashed Liu Lin several more times with the whip: "Go on!"
"Afterwards, Wanyan Zongwang withdrew his troops, but he continued to correspond with that person. At first, he asked my father to pass on the correspondence, but gradually he started to contact him directly!"
"Didn't you just say that the Jin spies were led by Wanyan Zongyi?"
"It is Wanyan Zongyi, but the one in Dongjingcheng is special because he was connected to Wanyan Zongwang because of the war."
Liu Lin's willpower had long since collapsed after his penis was burned by the red-hot iron, and he was completely unable to think straight. He answered whatever Pan Weizhi asked him with what he knew.
So what he said is true!
Pan Weizhi gasped in shock. Damn it, it was actually one of the prime ministers of the current dynasty!
Who is it?
"Wu Min!"
"Wu Min?"
Pan Weizhi began to recall the current prime minister in charge of the court, but Wu Min was not among them.
"Are you talking about Wu Yuanzhong?"
"Yes, yes, yes! That's him!"
Yuanzhong was Wu Min's courtesy name. During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song, Wu Min served as a Gentleman Attendant, but this was a nominal position with little to do. He would just stand in the court every day and show his face, and sometimes he didn't even have to show his face.
This position held great power during the Tang Dynasty, with the authority to reject proposals, but it was abolished during the Song Dynasty.
It's not exactly a prime minister position, but many prime ministers have this vacant position before they take up their posts in the central government.
Wu Min was a minister on whom the retired emperor had placed great hopes, but he fell out of favor after the new emperor ascended the throne and ignored him.
I never expected it to be him!
Looking at Liu Lin, who had completely collapsed, Pan Weizhi was still not satisfied. This guy really deserved to die.
The thought that this guy had cooked and eaten a ten-year-old girl a while ago made Pan Weizhi furious.
He turned to his subordinates and asked, "Is the water ready?"
"It will take a while longer; it's best to wait until the water boils!"
Liu Lin stared at the water that was beginning to bubble, enduring the excruciating pain, and forced a smile through his contorted face: "I've said everything I needed to say, can you let me go now?"
"No rush, no rush, I have another question. Has Wanyan Zongyi infiltrated any spies in Tokyo?"
"I really don't know, all my subordinates are in Youzhou!"
Pan Weizhi lashed out with the whip a dozen more times. Of course, he knew that Liu Lin was unaware that spies usually kept their identities secret and would not contact each other unless absolutely necessary.
Pan Weizhi wanted to lash Liu Lin a few more times; each lash brought him immense satisfaction.
After Liu Lin finished smoking, the water had already boiled.
Liu Lin was taken down, and his body was tightly bound.
"What are you going to do! Please let me go! Please, I'm willing to be your slave! Let me go..."
"You traitorous dog, when you killed that little girl, she begged for mercy just like you, didn't she? Why didn't you let her go? If I hadn't sent people to arrange this today, you would have eaten a second little girl!"
"Throw him down!"
At Pan Weizhi's command, Liu Lin, who was bound and unable to move, was lifted up by the force of the four men and hung in the air.
Just like when a person is torn apart by five horses, when the horses exert force at the same time, the person will be suspended in mid-air.
They slowly moved Liu Lin above the boiling water. Liu Lin let out a pig-like scream, but it was no use; he couldn't break free.
"Put it down!"
With a splash, Liu Lin fell into the boiling water, his body convulsing violently and splashing water everywhere.
Then the four men quickly pulled, taut the rope, and Liu Lin got out of the boiling water, his whole body red. His throat was burned from the boiling water, and he couldn't even shout anymore.
It kept struggling, but no matter how hard it struggled, it was all in vain.
"Put it down!"
They repeated the same action, and this time they pulled him out. Liu Lin was still alive, but the immense pain was tearing at his every nerve.
It felt like someone was cutting his nerves back and forth with an incredibly sharp knife.
The four men placed Liu Lin on a rock to the side, where Liu Lin's entire body was convulsing violently.
They tied Liu Lin to a rock, then took out a comb made of iron, except that it was particularly sharp and slightly curved.
Because Liu Lin's flesh was completely scalded, the comb pierced through it as soon as it touched his flesh.
Then they began to comb Liu Lin's flesh as if combing his hair.
The sharp comb tore through the flesh, creating multiple deep grooves from which blood began to seep.
Liu Lin is still alive, and he feels that it is more painful than going to hell.
Another person started feeding Liu Lin old ginseng, which was dug up from Changbai Mountain. It was very effective and Pan Weizhi had specially saved it for Liu Lin. Now it finally came in handy.
"Sizzle..."
The sharp teeth of the iron comb rubbed against Liu Lin's bones, producing a sound that made one's scalp tingle and teeth ache.
Finally, after all that was left was his skeleton, Liu Lin died.
Then, they cut off Liu Lin's head. Although it was severely burned, his appearance was still clearly visible.
"Send this head to Liu Yu's residence, so that traitorous dog can see what fate awaits his son!"
"yes!"
A shocking case has occurred in the capital: An Hairong, the mastermind behind Jiangnan Pavilion, was broken into and beheaded.
Although the matter was suppressed, many people still found it interesting and it continued to spread throughout the capital.
Some say that too many girls died at An Hairong's Jiangnan Pavilion, and their ghosts have returned to seek revenge.
Some even say that the Song emperor sent people to kill him because there were too many Han Chinese women sold from the south in An Hairong's Jiangnan Pavilion.
However, another version of the story reached the ears of high-ranking officials in Beijing, causing a stir.
A high-ranking official was drinking at Jiangnan Pavilion when he said something wrong. He was silenced by a powerful figure in the court, along with An Hairong.
As for who this high-ranking official is, it is very likely that it is Wanyan Gao, who is the most powerful person in the court at the time.
At dusk, a beggar excitedly ran to the residence of Liu Yu, the Privy Councilor of the Jin Dynasty, and placed a large black box at the gate. He was caught by the gatekeeper.
When Liu Yu opened the box, his entire face immediately turned a deep liver color.
P.S.: I can't resist the urge to update a few more chapters, what should I do?
