Chapter 1057: Silencing the Witness
Yun Guiyue looked at her pale face and sneered.
Are you too scared to bear it now?
It seems that the person Doctor Lin found is not very good.
Yun Guiyue continued, "Five hundred lashes... Then let me ask, what is the crime of murdering the king of the mermaids?"
She stared at the mermaid with a faint gaze.
His already fair skin was now completely bloodless, looking like a dead person.
What crime would it be to murder the king?
She didn't even dare to think about it, because it was definitely not just a death penalty.
Even deceiving the young master would result in such severe torture, and if he plotted to murder the king...
The sudden feeling of suffocation made her chest feel stuffy and anxious, and she couldn't say a word in response to Yun Guiyue's questions.
In the end, Yun Guiyue looked at Su Mu. The latter knew what she meant, so when he looked at the mermaid again, his voice became even colder.
"Those who plot to murder the king must endure the punishment of lingchi for ninety-nine and eighty-one days. And not just one person will be punished, but all the people in the nine clans will endure it."
"ha--"
"Master, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
The little mermaid could no longer bear such panic, so she began to beg for mercy frantically.
This result was completely within Yun Guiyue's expectations.
She turned to look at Doctor Lin, and sure enough, the latter's face looked grim, and there was even panic and evasion in his eyes.
Su Mu's breath grew colder and colder. He stood before the merman, his eyes red as he questioned, "So, it was you who killed my father? And you wanted to frame Gui Yue?"
The mermaid still wanted to argue, but things had come to this point and she had already let the cat out of the bag, so she could only nod.
"But young master, I was coerced. My grandmother is being treated by Doctor Lin, and Doctor Lin said that if I don't do as he says, my grandmother will die.
My grandmother raised me from childhood, I really have no choice..."
The merman began to cry in grievance as she spoke, and Doctor Lin's face changed drastically. He scolded her coldly, "What nonsense! I was ordered to take care of the king, how could I let anything happen to him! Stop slandering me, who are you working for? What's your purpose in framing me?"
It turns out that the older one gets, the wiser one gets. When Doctor Lin said these words, there was no trace of acting at all, and there was even some indignation and confusion in his voice.
Anyone who has seen it will say that the acting is really good.
The mermaid was startled by the roar, and her tears flowed even more violently, but her voice also became louder:
"That's you! Don't you hate Miss Yun? You hate that the young master likes Miss Yun, so you want to get rid of her!"
As if what he said hit the nail on the head, Doctor Lin was about to slap him with great force.
But his hand was forced to stop in mid-air, and the skin on his hand was instantly peeled off by a sharp attack, and blood splattered everywhere.
"ah--"
Doctor Lin's painful screams echoed throughout the palace.
He looked at his hands, the shock in his heart continuing.
It turned out that Yun Guiyue had bound his arms with the soul-binding silk, but he used all his strength to hit the mermaid, which caused the force to be opposite to the soul-binding silk, and the silk cut off a layer of his skin.
Yun Guiyue slowly retracted the soul-binding silk without leaving a trace of blood on it.
The corners of her lips curved coldly, "Doctor Lin, why are you so anxious? The matter hasn't been concluded yet, are you going to kill people to silence them?"
Doctor Lin gritted his teeth, the pain made his face pale, but the hateful look he gave Yun Guiyue did not change at all.
