Chapter 100 - Punishment!

When Lin Suisui woke up in the morning, Lu Ze told her about what happened last night.

It was unknown how Pei Qian convinced Du Yuanyi, but they actually left under the cover of the night yesterday afternoon.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This way, the empty tent would become a trap for the northern barbarians who tried to silence them!

“Pei Qian asked Qian He to come over early in the morning to pass you the good news. He said that the Wolf Guard has been captured!” Lu Ze handed the porridge bowl to Lin Suisui and told her the final outcome as he explained last night’s situation.

That Wolf Guard originally wanted to take a pill and commit suicide, but Pei Qian was an experienced investigator. How could he give the Wolf Guard the chance?!

Seeing that Lin Suisui was eating at a faster speed, Lu Ze couldn’t help but smile and say, “Don’t be anxious. Since the Wolf Guard has been captured, he won’t be able to escape now!

Take your time. We’ll go over after you’re done.”

Lin Suisui nodded, but she didn’t delay for long. After she tidied up, she rushed to Pei Qian’s tent with Lu Ze.

When Lin Suisui and Lu Ze entered the tent, Pei Qian was stirring a bowl of soup in his hand with a spoon. When he saw Lin Suisui and Lu Ze enter, he simply placed the bowl of soup on the table at the side. He said to Qian He, who was standing at the side, “What’s with this taste? Is it something humans can eat?!”

Qian He lowered his head even more, but didn’t reply.

Pei Qian waited for a while before continuing with a look of disdain, “You gave me this for breakfast? I really don’t have the mood to deal with anything anymore!”

“There’s still some leftover shredded chicken porridge we ate this morning in the pot. If you don’t mind, you can let Qian He make a trip.”

Lu Ze couldn’t stand Pei Qian’s pretentious appearance and interrupted his performance.

Originally, Lu Ze said this to snub Pei Qian. After all, they were leftovers…

However, to Lu Ze’s surprise, Pei Qian was much more thick-skinned than he had thought. He was afraid that Lu Ze would go back on his word, so before Lu Ze even finished speaking, he had already instructed Qian He to make a trip!

“I’ve caught him. He tried to commit suicide, but failed! However, from the looks of it, he won’t be begging for mercy soon! Therefore, I didn’t dare to let him go. I only asked someone to tie him up from head to toe. Even his mouth was sealed tightly!

I was really afraid that he would find an opportunity to commit suicide!

The biggest problem is that if we try to pry open his mouth now, he might bite his tongue!”

After Qian He left, Pei Qian didn’t hide anything and told Lin Suisui and Lu Ze about the difficulties they were facing. “So I want to ask Madam Liu if there’s any way to force him to speak without letting him bite his tongue?!”

“Yes!” Lin Suisui replied straightforwardly without any hesitation. “I can make a type of medicine. The herbs are not difficult to find. I have them on hand!

After he drinks it, he will feel weak all over, but he won’t lose consciousness!”

Actually, this was the composition of the packet of powder she had handed to Lu Ze last night. However, there was no need to grind it into powder. She just needed to boil it with herbs!

“Thank you, Mrs. Liu.” Pei Qian sized up Lin Suisui in surprise. Then, he couldn’t help but chuckle as he pointed at the brush and ink behind the table for Lin Suisui to see. “I need a prescription…”

“Oh, I remember now. Those two medical officers have already returned to the capital with Du Yuanyi and the others! They also left some herbs in the tent where they lived previously. When Qian He comes back later, let him bring you over to take a look. You can take whatever you want.”

Lin Suisui lowered her head and thanked him. Not long after, Qian He returned with a sand jar.

Qian He put down the sand jar, then brought Lin Suisui out to find herbs.

When Lin Suisui finally saw the Wolf Guard who was tied up, it was already more than two hours later.

“Previously, I promised you that I would let you interrogate this person! However, by the time I remembered, I realized that he had already been tortured into this gory state. I was really afraid of scaring you!

You can interrogate him now!”

Pei Qian got someone to feed the Wolf Guard medicine. Ignoring the Wolf Guard who was struggling and cursing, he turned around and gestured for Lin Suisui to start.

Although Pei Qian’s attitude seemed very polite, Lin Suisui could still see the schadenfreude look in his eyes.

Was he waiting to see her make a fool of herself?!

Lin Suisui held Lu Ze’s hand and stopped him from going forward. Then, she turned to look at Pei Qian and confirmed softly, “Is what you said true?!”

“Of course. I never lie!” Pei Qian nodded and walked to a round chair at the side to sit down. Then, he pointed at the various torture devices at the side. “If you need anything, feel free to tell me!”

“There’s no need to trouble you.” Lin Suisui smiled as she walked to the table at the side. Then, she spread out her needle kit. “You also said that it isn’t good to make things too gory! I can’t disobey your instructions.”

She pulled out the long needle and slowly burned it on the candle at the side. Then, she turned around and slowly walked to the Wolf Guard’s side. Her tone was very calm and she sounded like a doctor asking about the patient’s condition. “I have something to ask you. If you can tell me the truth, I won’t make things difficult for you.”

After all, I’m only going to ask about some trivial matters. You still have to deal with Mr. Pei’s interrogation.

But if you don’t cooperate, then I can only resort to ruthless methods!”

“What do you want to ask?!” The Wolf Guard had struggled for a long time and was already exhausted. In addition, because of the medicine that Lin Suisui had brewed for him previously, even if he was unwilling to admit it now, he realized that he had lost all the opportunity to resist.

He was disoriented and couldn’t move, but he didn’t completely lose consciousness. He was like a fish that had been thrown onto the chopping board. Even the delicate and weak woman in front of him would be able to stab him.

“I want you to tell me all the information about the skin-changing technique.” Lin Suisui raised her hand slightly. The silver needle in her hand flickered with a cold light under the candlelight. “I advise you not to try to play any tricks. I’m a doctor, so I naturally know that you’re actually wearing two layers of skin now!

“But it doesn’t matter. The silver needle in my hand doesn’t care how many layers of skin you have on your body now. I just need to use a little more strength to pierce through!”
