Chapter 83 Witnessing the Execution of Lingchi
"Maybe it's just a coincidence. It's not impossible that the knight also forged a new one at this time?" Yun Wansheng would never admit it.
"Yun Wansheng, don't think that I will not do anything to you. I will give you another chance. Will you tell the truth or not?" Mu Xingci's eyes darkened.
"What I just said is the truth. Even if you kill me, I will still say the same thing."
Mu Xingci looked at the stubborn woman in front of him, his expression becoming even uglier: "Come back to the mansion with me."
But after taking two steps, he found that the woman did not catch up with him, which made him turn around and look towards the outer room. He saw that the woman's beautiful little face was covered with a layer of frost, and her eyes were as cold as ice.
The coldness around the woman made the man feel a little panicked, but when he thought of the temptation that the pistol brought to him, he had to harden his heart.
If he knew how to make guns, Shun Shang Kingdom would be able to unify the three kingdoms without a doubt, and then the reputation of their Mu family army would be further enhanced.
Originally, before he realized the power of the gun, he hadn't thought about pursuing the matter.
But after he tried a few shots in the military camp, he found that this pistol was different from the previous hidden weapons. This discovery made his ambition expand rapidly.
In order to unify the three kingdoms and for the permanent stability of Shun Shang Kingdom, he must get the manufacturing method of this pistol at all costs.
"Yun Wansheng, I want to remind you that no matter how arrogant a woman is, it will only make her suffer more. In the end, she can't change anything. I hope you don't give up your good life and seek death." Mu Xingci's eyes were slightly cold.
"My Lord, it's no use forcing me to do something I don't know."
"Really? I'd like to give it a try. If you don't dare to follow me, then it means you must have something to hide."
"Who's afraid? Just leave!" Yun Wansheng glared at him angrily, then walked past him and left the blacksmith shop.
When Yun Wansheng thought she was going back to the villa, she found that the carriage was heading in another direction: "Where are you taking me?"
"Lizhou Yamen! Yun Wansheng, you'd better think it through before getting off the car, so that you will suffer less physical pain." Mu Xingci's words were full of threats.
Yun Wansheng's eyes panicked when she heard this: "I already said I don't know. Even if you beat me to death, I still don't know."
"Okay! You are stubborn. You don't want the chance I give you. Then I don't have to be polite to you." Mu Xingci couldn't help but get angry when he saw that she was unmoved.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the yamen. Mu Xingci was on guard against the woman trying to escape, so he took her wrist and walked into the yamen.
The yamen runners and officials he met along the way would quickly greet him and bow to him as soon as they saw him. Mu Xingci would respond indifferently and keep walking forward.
He came in holding a woman's hand, which naturally attracted everyone to stop and watch. Mu Xingci had no intention of stopping them, so he just let people watch the fun.
Finally, the two of them stopped at the prison gate. Mu Xingci looked at the somewhat nervous woman with deep eyes: "You say it's too late now?"
Yun Wansheng suppressed her fear and stared at him with hatred in her eyes: "You'd better beat me to death today, otherwise, I will definitely take revenge for today's revenge someday."
"You're so arrogant!" Mu Xingci said sarcastically, then asked someone to open the prison door and dragged the disobedient woman in.
After taking a few steps, bursts of screams came faintly from not far away. Yun Wansheng felt even more timid when she heard them, and she couldn't help but slow down her pace.
Mu Xingci noticed the woman's fear, but he did not let her go because of her fear. Instead, he quickened his pace.
His reaction, as if he was eager to know the truth, invisibly gave Yun Wansheng a sense of unknown fear.
"Mu Xingci, do you really want to do this to the extreme?"
"It's not that I'm so cruel, but you hold the future of three countries in your hands, which forces me to force you to say it." Mu Xingci continued walking and glanced at her sideways.
Yun Wansheng didn't say anything more after hearing this. She knew that if this man knew the use of the pistol, he would think of using it on the battlefield.
As the screams grew louder, Mu Xingci pushed open a torture chamber and saw a horrifying and bloody scene.
I saw a prisoner tied to a rack, naked. Although he had no clothes to cover himself, his whole body was covered with blood. There was no intact skin, and white bones were exposed in some places.
Looking at the man's feet, the blood flowing from his body was now winding into an iron basin. The basin was almost full of blood, and the smell of blood filled the entire torture room, which was so unpleasant that it made people nauseous.
In another iron basin was placed the flesh and blood that had just been cut from his body, which was shocking to see.
This horrifying scene made Yun Wansheng's eyes full of fear. Although she had always been brave, she was also shocked by the cruel methods of the ancients, which made her tremble uncontrollably.
Although she had been a soldier, she considered herself brave and not afraid of anything. But after witnessing the true cruelty today, she realized that she could also be frightened.
Mu Xingci had been paying attention to the woman's reaction. When he saw her fearful expression, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes: "Yun Wansheng, this man is a spy from the enemy country. If he refuses to reveal his contact, the jailer will definitely sentence him to death."
Yun Wansheng didn't dare to look at the terrifying scene in front of her anymore. With red eyes, she looked at the dog marquis in front of her: "From what you said, if I don't tell me, you will also punish me?"
Mu Xingci paused for a moment and said, "Then it depends on whether you want to tell me or not."
Yun Wansheng chuckled when he heard him say that. "I still say the same thing. As for that pistol, I really don't know how it's made or where it came from."
"Yun Wansheng, you are still quibbling now. Do you really think I'm stupid? You won't say anything, right? I want to see how hard your mouth is." Mu Xingci was annoyed by her stubbornness.
"Come, tie her to another rack and flay her."
Yun Wansheng listened to the cruel and ruthless orders of the dog man, biting her lips hard to stop herself from crying. When she saw the two guards trying to catch her, she instinctively resisted.
The two guards were kicked to the ground by her without any preparation. Yun Wansheng took the opportunity to run away, but before she could take two steps, someone hit her on the back.
"Mu Xingci, you damn bastard, you might as well kill me with one knife." Yun Wansheng cursed angrily.
"Yun Wansheng, since you are afraid, then tell me everything you know. As long as you tell me the truth, I will let you enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory." Mu Xingci advised without giving up.
"Mu Xingci, you mean nothing to me. Your dictatorship has deprived me of my freedom. Now you want me to help you unify the Three Kingdoms? You're dreaming!
You're such an arrogant and conceited man, I'm not willing to sacrifice anything to help you. Isn't that just like being tortured to death? Come on! If I beg for mercy, I'll take your last name!" Yun Wansheng couldn't move, but she showed no weakness.
