âSorry to disturb you, Uncle Yan, but 1 have a favor to ask.â Zhou Fluaiming cupped his fists and bowed.
âOh, do tell.â Lord Yan asked him after he sat down.
Zhou Fluaiming didnât stand on ceremony and told him how the wedding envoy had been forced to stop. Fie continued, â1 feel that there was something fishy about this matter, so I wanted to find those people and their master.â
After hearing this, Lord Yan felt that Zhou Fluaiming was making a mountain out of a molehill. After all, it was not uncommon for people to loan out high-interest loans, especially since the past few years have seen so many natural disasters.
Flowever, these were usually done by people at the lower end of society and could not cause any problems at large.
Flowever, when he thought of Sun Miaoke, he honestly felt a little guilty. In addition, they were relatives, so he decided to investigate and see if someone was behind this.
Thus, he replied, âAlright, Iâll give the order to look for the person. Are you going to wait here for the news, orâ¦â
âIf there is something, let me know at King Ruiâs Residence. 1 have to return there now.â
âAlright, Iâll send someone to inform you when I catch the person.â After Lord Yan finished speaking, he called someone in.
Meanwhile, Zhou Fluaiming stood up, bid farewell, and returned to King Ruiâs Residence.
Four hours later, Lord Yan sent someone to deliver a letter. However, only Brother Hu and the other two were captured, with the other two already dead.
Zhou Fluaiming was even more certain that someone was up to something.
He informed King Rui of this and rushed to the admiralâs office.
When Lord Yan, who was waiting in the room, saw him enter, he immediately led him to the cell. âBrother Hu and the other two are quite stubborn. Iâm afraid we wonât be able to get anything out of them.â
âWhere are the bodies of the other two?â
âIâve temporarily placed it in the government office, but Iâve already informed the family members to come and get them.â
âDonât let them take it away first and carry it directly to the prison cell. It might be useful.â
Lord Yan shook his head. âIâm afraid itâs useless. Weâve tried.â
âIs that so? It looks like theyâre really stubborn; Iâll meet them.â Zhou Fluaiming quickened his pace after he finished speaking.
When he arrived at the cell, he saw Brother Hu and the other two still hanging on the rack, covered in blood.
Zhou Fluaiming went forward to check them out. âHeâs really a tough guy, enduring such a serious injury and still not making a sound.â
When he saw some alcohol beside him, he picked it up and poured it directly on their wounds. As expected, the three of them immediately screamed in pain.
Seeing this, Zhou Huaiming walked up to the person screaming the loudest and said, âI believe you have seen the corpses of your two companions.
âFlowever, they are much luckier than you. At least they can still leave a corpse behind, but you might not be so lucky.â
âIf you want to kill or cut me up, do it. If 1 frown, Iâll be your grandson.â
âDonât. I donât want a grandson like you. Iâm afraid that the coffin of my ancestor will pop out, and they will slap me for having such an unfilial grandson. 1 heard from a friend that thereâs a punishment called the Tiger Stool, which is simple and effective. Well, then, I can finally try it out with you guys.
After Zhou Fluaiming finished speaking, he asked the guard to bring a chair, a stool, four ropes, and some bricks.
After they were ready, they began instructing the guards on how to use it.
When they had just added two bricks, the arrogant, hardy man had turned pale and terrified.
Zhou Fluaiming saw this and asked, âHow does it taste? Have another brick. 1 want to see how many bricks you can take.â
âDonât, donât. What do you want to know? 1â11 tell you.â The man cried with an aggrieved expression..
