Chapter 681 Treat your enemies with the same ruthlessness as a harsh winter.
Chang Siyuan spent a considerable amount of time in the prison, nearly an hour before returning with a slight smell of blood.
Li San Niang sensed something was wrong with Chang Siyuan the moment he entered the room.
A distinct, fresh smell of blood emanated from Chang Siyuan. Li Sanniang looked at him with slight surprise, naturally not believing that the smell of blood was due to Chang Siyuan's injury.
"How could someone who looks so upright and righteous do something like this!"
Li San Niang didn't think there was anything wrong with Chang Siyuan's actions. Firstly, when everyone was discussing it before, they had mentioned that they could use physical pain to pressure Edward and make him reveal more information under stress.
However, at the time, it was only said that Chang Siyuan should act according to the situation, and that he could do so if he thought it was necessary and if he himself could accept and was willing to do so.
Secondly, even if Li San Niang is a doctor, she must first and foremost be a person with principles.
It's like the saying goes: science has no borders, but scientists have a homeland.
Li San Niang was a physician, but she was a person from the Tang Dynasty!
Li San Niang wanted to be a doctor who could save lives and help others. Her greatest ideal in life was to practice medicine and bring peace to the world.
However, she was a Tang Dynasty citizen, her family was here, she was born and raised here, how could she watch the enemy plunge this land into war?
Therefore, even though Li San Niang was a doctor, she believed that it was permissible to use inhumane interrogation methods against the enemy.
Even while waiting for Chang Siyuan to return in this room, Li Sanniang sat in the chair and wondered if she should use a needle on Edward to directly interrogate him.
It's important to understand that a doctor skilled in acupuncture doesn't just use acupuncture to save lives.
Moreover, Li San Niang also inherited the poison skills from her father's master, Poison Yama. (Chapters 250-251)
Therefore, if Li Sanniang really wanted to do it, she was capable of it; it all depended on how she chose to do it.
Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself; one must be as ruthless and merciless to the enemy as a harsh winter.
Li San Niang gathered her thoughts and turned to look at Chang Siyuan, who was sitting opposite her.
After Chang Siyuan sat down, he took the teacup that Xing Yu had poured and drank most of it before looking at everyone and telling them word by word about the information he had obtained from Edward.
"The person behind the scenes is a master at manipulating people's hearts."
In my interactions with this European man named Edward, I discovered that he had clearly been brainwashed.
"How so?"
Chang Siyuan put down his teacup, his brows furrowing slightly. "I mentioned the abuse of opium, which is a drug that can cause irreversible damage to people."
I said that their underhanded and despicable behavior is aggression, wrong, and contemptible.
His reaction was strange.
Chang Siyuan recalled Edward's behavior in the prison. Faced with Chang Siyuan's accusations, Edward stared wide-eyed with fanaticism, seemingly oblivious to the pain from the torture Chang Siyuan had inflicted on him. Edward burst into laughter.
We did nothing wrong!
This is all for the purpose of creating a new world!
That's not a drug, it's an apple from God to the world!
When this continent is covered in flowers, the gods will descend upon the earth, and a new world will begin!
After Chang Siyuan recounted Edward's behavior to everyone, Xing Yu immediately shouted, "Madman! Isn't he a madman?!"
Ding Mingxuan looked at Chang Siyuan and continued to ask, "And then? What else did you find out?"
"His words revealed that he was indeed just a lowly pawn, and that they would likely be dumping large quantities of opium into the Tang Dynasty later."
This cult called New World was probably founded by a few people who were time travelers like us, driven by ambition.
Edward mentioned the word "archbishop," and I guess this person should be in the Tang Dynasty now, possibly in Chang'an.
Currently, the archbishop should be in charge of all matters concerning foreigners in the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, I think this archbishop is very likely one of the Gentiles, an outsider just like us!
After listening to what Chang Siyuan said, Ding Mingxuan lowered his head and thought for a while before looking at Li Sanniang.
"Dr. Li, you should try. If you can find out the location of his other accomplices and how Aphrodisiac came to the Tang Dynasty, that would be best."
If that's not possible, it's good to get some other information.
Li San Niang nodded, opened the door with a serious expression, and followed the guide outside.
Sure enough, when Li San Niang saw Edward, the blood on his body, especially the wound on his chest, which had seeped through his clothes, was truly a terrifying sight.
Li San Niang didn't come in empty-handed; she brought her medical kit.
Of course, this first-aid kit wasn't the large one she usually carried when she went out; it was the small one she had just borrowed from the Bad Guys.
After Li San Niang came in carrying her medical kit, she placed it on top of the torture instruments on the table by the wall.
She walked up to Edward with a blank expression and started looking at him. That wasn't all; Li San Niang even reached out and tore open Edward's clothes.
A hissing sound rang out as Li San Niang deliberately touched Edward's wound.
"Ha, a woman?"
Li San Niang did not respond to Edward's question. After confirming the condition of Edward's wounds, she went to the door and asked for clean cloths and clean water.
Next, without saying a word, Li Sanniang performed her duties as a doctor, cleaning and treating the wounds on Edward's body caused by the bad guys and Chang Siyuan.
Li San Niang's actions did indeed make Edward lower his guard a bit.
Why do I say that?
Because of her keen senses, Li Sanniang clearly heard Edward's heartbeat, which gradually became stable and balanced from its initial high-pitched and rapid rhythm.
Moreover, Edward may not have sensed any aggression from Li San Niang, and because he was relaxed by Li San Niang's act of helping him, he actually had the mind to gossip about her.
Who are you? What's your name?
Are you the same as those two men in front of you?
Seeing that Li San Niang remained silent, Edward abandoned English and instead asked questions in accented Chinese.
Edward stared at the woman in front of him, and he naturally noticed the change in her eyes when she spoke Chinese.
Furthermore, Edward smelled a pleasant fragrance on Li San Niang. As a result, when Li San Niang looked at him, Edward, who was tied to the cross, actually tried to straighten his injured chest.
"I'm a doctor, I'm here to treat your injuries, they said we can't let you die."
After receiving a response from Li San Niang, Edward visibly smiled.
