Xia Shuangcheng, who was scorched by chili all night, couldn't even speak.
His mouth was sore, and he couldn't tell whether it was a sore tongue or a sore mouth. His lips were swollen like sausages. Those yamen servants fed him chili peppers in the middle of the night. His eyes and nose were so hot that his eyes and nose fell down, and his whole face was swollen. They gave up.
Seeing Yun Ke sitting in front of him calmly, Xia Shuangcheng was startled and frightened. He already understood a little bit that Yun Ke would never let him go.
Why didn't his father come to rescue him? Had they already decided to abandon him
They can't do this!
Yun Ke looked at Xia Shuangcheng with a smile, "It seems that your Xia family is very rich. Your father spent a lot of money in the government office. A lot of money was thrown away. Even this king is a little bit moved."
Xia Shuangcheng immediately became excited when he heard the words. He tried his best to open his swollen mouth, which could no longer be swollen. He said a few words in a sloppy manner, but every pronunciation was vague. When he opened his mouth, saliva and blood It flowed out uncontrollably, causing Yun Ke to look sideways slightly.
"You want to ask how much it costs. Can I let you go?" Seeing Xia Shuangcheng's anxious look, Yun Ke asked with a smile.
Xia Shuangcheng was startled for a moment, then nodded immediately. There seemed to be a glimmer of hope in the bottom of my heart.
If money can really make Yun Ke release him, he will pay as much as he wants.
"Hehe." Yun Ke smiled lightly. "How much do you think you're worth?"
Xia Shuangcheng hurriedly raised two fingers.
"Only 20,000 taels?" Yun Ke couldn't help curling his lips contemptuously, "You underestimate your worth too much, Mr. Xia."
Xia Shuangcheng shook his head hastily.
"Two hundred thousand taels?" Yun Ke raised his eyebrows and asked.
Xia Shuangcheng nodded hurriedly.
"It's only 200,000 taels. What is it enough for?" Yun Ke said with a smile, "This money is not enough to buy your arms and legs."
Xia Shuangcheng hurriedly shook his head again, and looked at Yun Ke with his eyes, which means you should make an offer.
Yun Ke took out a piece of paper from his pocket. "I have nothing to do, I have checked, and your Xia family has many Zhuangzi in the capital and the suburbs of Beijing under your name." Yun Ke said slowly, "Why don't you transfer all these Zhuangzi to you?" To make amends in the name of this king and concubine. Maybe this king will think about it."
Too cruel!
There are a total of twelve manors in the capital city and the suburbs of Beijing under the name of Xia Shuangcheng. If these manors are calculated at one hundred thousand taels, they are worth one million two hundred thousand taels of silver. Besides, these manors are more than this price.
Xia Shuangcheng was slightly taken aback, in order to save his life, he had no choice but to nod.
Yun Ke had already drawn up a transfer letter, which fully marked the location and size of all the manors.
Seeing Xia Shuangcheng nodded, Yun Ke smiled slightly, asked Li Sheng to take a pen and stuff it into Xia Shuangcheng's hand, and then gave Xia Shuangcheng the transfer contract.
Xia Shuangcheng looked at it intently, feeling so reluctant in his heart.
But Zhuangzi will still exist, and he only has one life. In order to survive, Xia Shuangcheng had to reluctantly write down his name, and in the end, Li Sheng held his hand and pressed his fingerprint.
"My lord, it's done." Li Sheng handed the signed contract to Yun Ke. Yun Ke looked at it, put the contract away, and put it in his arms.
Xia Shuangcheng anxiously shook the iron chains on his hands, which means that you have accepted Zhuangzi, let me go!
"This king has just considered it." Yun Ke smiled faintly at Xia Shuangcheng, "Although you have already apologized to this king's concubine, even if this king's concubine can forgive you, this king cannot forgive you. The Twelve Places of Zhuangzi will be regarded as something you gave this princess to shock me, but you hurt her, harmed her, and crippled her hand, the King of Accounts will settle this account with you!"
Xia Shuangcheng was completely stunned when he heard the words, and then struggled like crazy.
Yun Ke, you bastard, you lied to me!
There was a gurgling sound in his throat, his eyes were red, and he wanted to open the chain and grab Yun Ke.
It's a pity that his body, which was hollowed out by wine and sex, has no such ability, after a lot of tossing, he is just panting from exhaustion.
"Have you finished tossing?" Yun Ke saw that Xia Shuangcheng had gradually stopped struggling, so he said slowly, "I have counted, and you have whipped the princess forty-six in total. Therefore, I will cut off ninety percent of your lashes." Two pieces of flesh. It’s not much, it’s just doubled. In fact, I originally thought about multiplying it by ten times, but judging by your small body, I guess you can’t bear 460 knives. Look, this king is still Quite a compliment to you."
As soon as Yun Ke's words came out, Xia Shuangcheng struggled crazily again. He couldn't speak anymore, and he let out a strange hoot from his throat. His eyes were bloodshot, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be split open by him.
"You are so energetic, I hope you can hold on for a while." Yun Ke waved his hand calmly, Li Sheng walked over, and Yun Ke said, "Cut off a piece, stop his bleeding, use ginseng to hang his breath, We must not let him die."
"Yes." Li Sheng sneered. Torturing people is one of the compulsory courses for dark guards. It seems that he has not used it on others since he learned it.
The wound on Wang Yan's body was vivid, so how could Li Sheng leave room for Xia Shuangcheng.
He took a small knife, the knife is not big, the head is a little bent, under the reflection of the torch, it glows a faint blue light, the knife has been burnt with fire, it is very clean, the prince said that he wants to save his life, but he can't let him die.
The dark guards are also very particular!
Seeing the knife in Li Sheng's hand gesturing in front of his eyes, Xia Shuangcheng's legs became weak from fright. If he hadn't been tied to the cross-shaped stake, he might have turned into a puddle of mud by now.
"Counsel!" Li Sheng scolded, "When you torture others, why don't you think that one day you will end up like this?" After speaking, he made the first cut, which was on Xia Shuangcheng's forehead On the top, a small piece of skin on the forehead was peeled off.
The wound was not big, but it really hurt. Xia Shuangcheng had already howled like a pig being killed after the first cut.
He kept struggling, shaking his head, the blood was thrown out with his movements, splashing two drops on Yun Ke's cheek.
Yun Ke frowned slightly, and wiped the blood off his face with his fingertips, "Grab his hair." Yun Ke said impatiently.
"Yes." Everyone worked together to fix Xia Shuangcheng, Xia Shuangcheng's horrified eyes almost burst out.
The second knife was scraped on his face, then the third knife, and the fourth knife... The knife fell, and the blood couldn't stop flowing from Xia Shuangcheng's face. It was getting lower and lower, because his voice was already hoarse and he couldn't make any sound, and he fainted from the pain several times, and was awakened by these hidden guards with secret methods.
According to what Yun Ke said, the dark guards forcibly poured ginseng soup on him, hanging his breath, so it is, in the end, Xia Shuangcheng was also angry, and the pain was so painful that he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes .
After a long time, Li Shengcai came to report back, "Return to Your Highness, ninety-two knives are not too much, one knives are not much, and they are all cut off."
"En." Yun Ke just nodded, and slowly got up, his eyes were cold, "Stop the bleeding for him, we must not let him die so soon."
"Yes." Li Sheng clasped his fists and said.
Yun Ke turned around and walked out of the punishment room, went to the punishment department again, and then turned back to the mansion.
Originally, he wanted to go directly to Tongxinyuan, but after smelling his body, there seemed to be a slight smell of blood, so Yun Ke turned back to his room halfway.
He ordered someone to release the water, and after Yun Ke took a bath, he went to see Gu Yuqi.
Seeing Yun Ke coming back, Yan Zhi and the county magistrate Jiaxi stood up and left.
"Ah, I'm back." After Yun Ke waited for everyone to leave, he walked to the bed in three steps and two steps, and sat down next to Gu Yuqi, "How is today? Is the wound still hurting?"
Gu Yuqi found it funny, "It didn't hurt yesterday, so why is it still hurting today?" she said.
Seeing his daughter-in-law showing a little smile, Yun Ke was also very happy.
He took out the large stack of transfer contracts, "It's for you."
Gu Yuqi raised her hand slightly, but found a pain in her wrist, her expression faded, and she smiled self-deprecatingly at Yun Ke, "You see, I always forget that my hands are useless."
Yun Ke's heart was sore and aching from Gu Yuqi's words, he couldn't help but hold Gu Yuqi's arm, and slowly put her hand flat, and then said, "I will definitely find a way to cure you."
"En." Although Gu Yuqi didn't believe it, she nodded lightly. "In fact, in my hometown, this kind of technology exists. Most hospitals can do it." Gu Yuqi couldn't help but said.
"Hospital?" Yun Ke was slightly taken aback.
"Yeah, it's a bit like the medical center here." Gu Yuqi smiled slightly, "It can treat a lot of patients. There are many advanced equipment and doctors who graduated from medical schools. You may not believe it, but in my hometown, it is Even a broken heart can be transplanted, put a good heart in and replace the bad one.”
Yun Ke nodded knowingly, but she was horrified in her heart. She said that her hometown was far, far away, and now she said that there is a hospital that can easily treat Tesuji, and even the heart can be replaced. If it had been before, Yun Ke would never have believed what she said, but he had personally seen the whale that Gu Yuqi had described to him in her previous life, and even brought the skeleton of the whale back to the capital and buried it with his coffin, so Now that Gu Yuqi said that again, Yun Ke couldn't help believing it.
Although he didn't know where Gu Yuqi came from, Yun Ke could feel it. If Gu Yuqi really returned to his hometown, it was impossible for him to see Gu Yuqi again. Hongyi died in battle.
"I will find a way to heal your hand here!" Yun Ke stubbornly said to Gu Yuqi word by word.
"Okay." Gu Yuqi was too lazy to argue with him, anyway, he just said yes, just follow along.
After getting Gu Yuqi's response, Yun Ke's raised heart slowly let go.
