Chapter 56: Threats and Deals
A basin of cold water poured over Wang Ke's head, waking him up from his stupor, and a complex smell of burning rosin mixed with rotten mold rushed into his nose, as if someone had set fire to a garbage heap that had been stored for years.
He slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw were the sneering faces of Zheng Yuan and Wu Zhichao, which suddenly became clear and hazy under the swaying torches, and looked even more insidious and vicious.
"Bastard!" Wang Ke scolded angrily and was about to rush up, but when he heard a commotion, he realized that he was chained and hung on the wall.
With a loud bang, a leather whip slammed into his body. The leather whip seemed to have barbs, and when it was pumped, it immediately brought up a strip of flesh on his body, and he couldn't help but snort in pain. Turning his head, he saw a wicked man with leopard eyes and beard holding a leather whip inlaid with barbs, and shouted loudly: "Bold prisoner, dare to insult the envoy and Lord Tiha!"
As soon as the words fell, the leather whip slashed his head and face like rain hitting a plantain.
Wang Ke hurriedly used his internal strength to resist, but found that he could not mobilize the true qi in the dantian, but he had already been sealed by someone.
The whip man seemed to be quite good at this, and each blow hooked up a piece of flesh and blood, which made him feel heart-rending pain, but kept him awake, and in a moment Kung Fu Wang Ke had become scarred and blurred with flesh and blood.
Wang Ke clenched his teeth tightly, and let the leather whip whip on himself without saying a word, only staring at Zheng Yuan and Wu Zhichao, who were smiling more and more, with angry eyes, eager to cramp and peel off their bones and break their bodies into pieces.
"Stop. Zheng Yuan raised his hand upward, and the executioner immediately stopped. Step aside. He said to Wang Ke in a cold voice: "Wang Ke, those who know the times are Junjie, and the old man advises you to hand over the exercises as soon as possible." Save yourself from suffering from flesh and skin. ”
"Hugh, think!" Wang Ke spat out two words with difficulty but firmness.
Wu Zhichao smiled and said to Zheng Yuan: "Envoy, Wang Ke doesn't know what kind of place this is, can I introduce it to him?"
Zheng Yuan nodded, leaned back in the Taishi chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Wang Ke, this is the dungeon of the Martial Division. Prisoners of felony offenses who have violated the ban are held, so don't expect to escape or be rescued. said that it was you, and it was Liang Bufan, who was known as the first master of Songjiang folk, who came in. Gotta stay here honestly!"
After Wu Zhichao finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed at the person who whipped Wang Ke just now, and introduced: "This is the executioner Sun Gang, who has been professionally executing for 30 years and is good at all kinds of punishments. The tortured person must not seek life, but cannot seek death. It's called ghostly sorrow. Sun Gang, you talk to him. ”
Sun Gang grinned when he heard this, his face was already ugly, and he showed two rows of snow-white teeth, which looked even more eerie. I only heard him say: "Boy, this ecstasy whip is just an appetizer, I still have ten torture tools that I have not used, and each one is ten times more painful than this ecstasy whip." No one has survived the fifth case yet, and they have all confessed honestly. I advise you to recruit earlier. Otherwise, you'll want to die. ”
Wang Ke raised his head, laughed miserably, and said viciously: "Come on, if you have a kind of you, you will kill Lao Tzu, don't think about it!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, I'm an executioner, not an executioner, I only execute and don't kill, even if someone asks me to kill him, I won't kill him, that's too boring." Sun Gang licked his lips as he spoke, as if he had seen a long-lost delicacy.
Wu Zhichao also smiled and said, "Wang Ke, I know that you are not afraid of death, but aren't your junior sisters and apprentices not afraid of death either?
"You dare?!" Wang Ke's eyes widened angrily and roared: "If you dare to touch a hair of them, I will not spare you!"
"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've heard such a funny joke. Wu Zhichao looked up to the sky and laughed, and suddenly said with a cold face: "You can think about whether you can get out alive first!"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, my exercises were taught by a senior master, do you dare to covet him and not be afraid of him?" Wang Ke said.
"It's even more of a joke! Do you think that the secret agent of my Martial Arts Division eats dry food? Which martial arts hall in the whole city is not under our control, if there are really any senior masters, I still don't know?" Wu Zhichao said.
"What if it's an innate master? What are you and I 'using the other way and giving back to the other'?" Wang Ke asked rhetorically.
Zheng Yuan sat up straight suddenly, and said, "Sure enough, it's an innate exercise! I'll just say, being able to simulate the enemy's moves to reach the transformation realm directly is definitely extraordinary, and it will not be in vain for my hard work!"
He leaned forward and said in a deep voice: "Wang Ke, don't use the innate master to scare the old man! Although the old man is not congenital, don't forget that the old man is a military envoy, if an innate master arrives in Songjiang, the old man will be the first to get the information." If the old man guessed correctly, this skill was obtained by you by accident, otherwise your martial arts would not have advanced by leaps and bounds. The old man advises you to say a word, obediently hand over the exercises, and you can still leave your life, otherwise not only you, but the Nanxiang Martial Arts Hall will be buried for you, do you think it is worth it?"
Wang Ke was silent, desperately thinking about countermeasures in his heart, he had no doubt that Zheng Yuan would be able to do something to destroy the door, for high-ranking officials and dignitaries like them, as long as they moved their lips, the Nanxiang Martial Arts Hall would cease to exist.
Staying in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, Wang Ke understands this truth, but first, he can't come up with "the way of the other, and give back to the other", and secondly, with the despicable behavior of Zheng Yuan and Wu Zhichao, even if he hands over the exercises, he will not escape death.
Zheng Yuan saw that he was speechless for a while, and asked slowly: "Wang Ke, have you thought about it clearly?" Perhaps afraid that Wang Ke would continue to resist, he added in a kind voice: "If you can hand over the exercises, I can even give you some compensation, and I will never take your exercises in vain." ”
Wang Ke's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he had an idea in his heart, and said, "Can the king's words be taken seriously?"
"Naturally, what is the identity of the old man, and can he still lie to you?" Zheng Yuan said without changing his face, completely forgetting that he had deceived Wang Ke just now.
"In that case, I want an exercise that is suitable for me to use, preferably an innate exercise, can you do it?" Wang Ke asked.
The corners of Zheng Yuan's mouth twitched, and he said: "Do you think that the innate exercises are cabbage on the side of the road, and you can get them casually? If the old man has the innate exercises, will he still stay in Songjiang?"
"My 'use the way of the other, give back to the other' is a genuine innate exercise, and I can't even exchange it for the innate exercise, isn't it a bit too much of a loss?" Wang Ke said.
Wu Zhichao sneered and said, "Wang Ke, don't forget your situation!"
"Alas, well, the situation is stronger than people. Wang Ke sighed and said, "Since there are no innate exercises, then bring all the exercises that the two adults can find, and I can choose one that suits me, right?" )
