Xiahou Qing said with a smile, "Lord Lin is right, but His Majesty doesn't dare to touch me yet. However, after the war, that may not be the case. So, do you think I will let you go?"
“…”
Xiahou Qing knew that Lin Feng was a real man. When it came to matters of family and country, life and death meant nothing to him. "I know you're not afraid of death, sir, but you wouldn't want to watch your sister die with you, would you?"
When Lin Feng heard that Xiahou Qing wanted to attack Lin Zhenzhen, he immediately lost his composure: "If you dare to touch Zhenzhen, I will definitely kill you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiahou Qing suddenly laughed out loud. "Kill me? Before you say that, sir, shouldn't you take a look at your current situation? I'm just a prisoner about to be taken prisoner. You're not qualified to negotiate with me."
After saying that, Xiahou Qing did not forget to add: "If you want to survive, if you want your sister to survive, then stay here obediently, and I will treat you well."
Lin Feng couldn't break free, so he could only stare with red eyes and roared through gritted teeth: "Even if I die, I will take you to hell with me!"
Xiahou Qing wiped the spit from his face with a hint of disgust and said impatiently, "Lord Lin must have come here alone, determined to die. Don't worry, I won't give your sister the opportunity to continue investigating the cause of your death. Brother Huangfu, I leave this to you."
"Mr. Huangfu, this is the puppet thread recovered from the black market. You can experiment on Lord Lin first." As he spoke, Xiahou Jun handed over the puppet thread he had just received yesterday. He had been by Xiahou Qing's side for a long time, so he still had some sense.
Huangfu Zhongqing counted the number of puppet threads in his hand and frowned slightly. They had been collecting them on the black market for so long, it was impossible that there were only that much. "Master, are all the puppet threads here?"
"What's wrong?"
His question left Xiahou Qing bewildered. However, Huangfu Zhong glanced at Xiahou Chun, who was avoiding his gaze, and said, "Although puppet silk may seem like scrap metal to others, once discovered by someone as proficient in Gu magic as the Huangfu family, they will inevitably become interested. To avoid unnecessary trouble, if you find any more puppet silk in the future, please have it all delivered to me."
Xiahou Qing glanced at the cowering Xiahou Chun and said coldly, "I understand what you mean. You heard it, but if you have hidden anything, it's better to have your subordinates call it up. After all, these are not gold, silver, or jewelry that you can just take away casually."
Xiahou Jun lowered his head like a half-dead quail and said, "Yes, yes, I understand!"
Originally, Xiahou Qing had planned to hand Lin Feng over to Huangfu Zhong and not interfere with his future affairs. But seeing Lin Feng's behavior, he felt it would be a shame to let him go. After all, he had been causing him so much trouble, both openly and covertly. It's said that killing someone destroys their heart, and besides his responsibilities as a Nanyue person, what Lin Feng cared about most was his family.
Then he would mercifully tell Lin Feng something he had never known before: "Oh, there is one thing that I think Lord Lin has never thought about in detail. Do you know why your father sent Lin Zhenzhen here at this time? It's not for family happiness, but for me."
Lin Feng knew that Xia Houqing was still trying to alienate the relationship between him and the Lin family, so he spat in his direction again: "Bah, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Xiahou Qing said slowly, "Do you really think your father is a gentleman? I have a lot of evidence against him. Once I reveal all this, who will be the first to be executed? Your sister is just a gift from him to show his goodwill to me. As long as it keeps him safe, do you think he cares about his daughter's life or death?"
Seeing Lin Feng's expression change, Xiahou Qing added, "You may not know that for your father, the thing he can give up the most is you, his children. As long as he's alive, he won't have to worry about not having children."
"You, shut up!"
After interrogating so many people, Xiahou Qing knew that some things should not be said too fully, leaving room for the prisoners' imagination. Sometimes, what makes prisoners collapse is not what they hear, but what they imagine in their own minds: "Since the master has spoken, I naturally have to shut up. Then I will not disturb Master Lin's rest. Goodbye."
After Xiahou Qing and his group left Huangfu Zhong's small room, Huangfu Zhong took the handkerchief for washing his face and stuffed it into Lin Feng's mouth without saying a word.
“……!”
Huangfu Zhong looked at the broken door panel and sighed slightly. "I'm sorry, but to prevent you from biting your tongue to commit suicide, I can only block your mouth first. Don't worry, with the puppet thread, you won't feel any pain. While I'm preparing, you can think about whether you have any last words. I just heard from Pavilion Master Xiahou that you have a younger sister. If you have any words you want to give to her, I can help."
Although he said he was preparing, in reality, all he needed were puppet threads. Huangfu Zhong had already prepared everything else long ago. Now, all he needed to do was probably these two door panels. Huangfu Zhong rolled up his sleeves, picked up the hammer, and said helplessly, "Alas, Pavilion Master Xiahou is really generous. He didn't even leave someone to help me fix the door, and now I have to do it myself."
Amidst the sounds of hammering, an entire afternoon passed. Huangfu Zhong hammered all afternoon, and Lin Feng stared at him all afternoon, as if he didn't know how to be bored or tired.
After Huangfu Zhong repaired the door, washed his hands, and rubbed the pills, he took off the cloth from Lin Feng's mouth.
As soon as the gag was removed, Lin Feng started spitting like crazy: "Bah, you've done such a heartless thing, you'll definitely go to hell!"
Huangfu Zhong played with the fresh red pill in his hand and said with a smile, "Hell, maybe it's better than where I am now, isn't it? Okay, have you thought about what you want to say?"
"Pooh!"
The sound of light footsteps outside the door made Huangfu Zhong's expression suddenly become fierce. He opened Lin Feng's mouth and stuffed the pill in his hand into his mouth: "...If you don't accept my toast, then I won't be polite!"
Lin Feng tried to spit out what he had just swallowed, but his hands and feet were tied up, so it was impossible for him to spit out what he had just swallowed. "You, what did you feed me just now!"
Huangfu Zhong explained expressionlessly, "I told you, these are things that can put an end to all the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness in your life."
