Chapter 158
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Hearing Yu Linglong’s words, Minister Feng’s body trembled even more .
Who was this woman? How could she know everything!?
As the saying goes, no officials are not greedy . If it was not for this glory and wealth, would he be willing to work in the court with fear? Minister Feng of course knew that relying on his meager salary, it was impossible to save such a large family business . Looking into it carefully, probably more than half of his wealth was unclean .
Of course he could hear the threatening meaning of Yu Linglong’s words, and he also knew that if Yu Linglong didn’t give an explanation today, the father and son would not get out of this Ruyi Gambling House .
It was just that he really hurt too much . This was eight hundred thousand taels of silver!
But could he not give it? In case of a head-to-head confrontation with Yu Linglong, he may not be able to gain the upper hand . What’s more, if this matter became a big deal, the Feng family industries were bound to attract the attention of the court . When this happens, the matter probably would not be concealed…
If they extracted that person, then he would be completely over, and it was even possible that his entire family would be extinguished…
Minister Feng was even more frightened when he thought of that person . He gritted his teeth and finally said: “Princess, it’s not that I don’t want to give this money, but…It’s just that I really can’t make up so much, Princess, look . Can you take less?”
Yu Linglong glanced at Minister Feng contemptuously . This was really interesting . He even negotiated the price with her . Was she a vegetable market?
A small smile appeared on her white porcelain face, and Yu Linglong looked at Minister Feng with interest and said, “Master Feng, have you never heard of it? There are two kinds of debts in the world that cannot be owed . One is gambling debt, and the other is the debt of prostitutes . If everyone was like you, how could we do business? We would all be cold and hungry!”
Minister Feng gritted his teeth as he listened but still didn’t dare to have a counterattack . Was Yu Linglong teasing him? Who didn’t know the strength of the Royal Palace of Xu? Was it possible that if he didn’t pay his 800,000 taels of silver, Yu Linglong would really be cold and hungry?
Keeping her volatile face in his eyes, Yu Linglong continued: “It’s just that you are a magistrate of the Ministry of War, after all . Since you and my husband are officials in the same court, I will reluctantly give you a favor . ”
Minister Feng’s heart that had fallen to the bottom was brought back by Yu Linglong’s words . He suddenly raised his head . His eyes glowed with hope and he said repeatedly: “Really? Thank you, Princess!”
Yu Linglong stretched out his hand to stop him from bowing and said leisurely: “That said, after all, we are in business here . If anyone can be like Master Feng, who doesn’t have to repay a debt after having a good time, we would have no choice but to close the doors . ”
The smile on Minister Feng’s face froze . He looked at Yu Linglong, not understanding what Yu Linglong meant .
Blowing on her pale pink nails, Yu Linglong said leisurely: “It’s okay if you don’t pay the money . It’s just that your son has to pay a price for losing so much money with me, right?”
Minister Feng finally understood Yu Linglong’s words, and immediately said: “Yes, yes, this rebellious child…this bastard is really too shameless . As long as the princess can raise her noble hand, this boy will do whatever he wants to do with the princess!”
From Yu Linglong’s words, he heard a bit of room for negotiation and was overjoyed for a while . As long as she didn’t force him to take out the 800,000 taels of silver, Feng Sihuai, the prodigal son, would pay a little price . Life was all right!
Hearing these decisive words, the pale Feng Sihuai looked at Minister Feng dumbfounded: “Father! I…”
He was really frightened by Yu Linglong . The woman chopped off one of his fingers without blinking her eyes . Now she might have to resort to some terrible means . How could his delicate and noble body withstand this?
What surprised him, even more, was Minister Feng . Before he understood how Yu Linglong was going to deal with him, he agreed to hand him over to Yu Linglong . What if Yu Linglong really killed him? Did Minister Feng, the father, not feel distressed at all?
Feng Sihuai only felt uncomfortable in his heart . This feeling was that of being betrayed by the person he trusted and was closest to him, and the feeling of being betrayed was so painful in his heart .
Minister Feng had no time to consider Feng Sihuai’s feelings . He quickly got up from the ground and stood humbly in front of Yu Linglong with a flattering smile on his face . He said to Yu Linglong: “Princess, how do you want to deal with this boy? When can I take him away?”
Glancing deeply at Feng Sihuai, who was full of shock, Yu Linglong’s face showed an inexplicable smile .
“If he wants, you can take him away now . ”
The humble smile on Minister Feng’s face widened, and he thanked her again and again: “Thank you for your grace, princess, and thank you for your kindness—”
She didn’t even look at his cheerful face . Yu Linglong coldly interrupted his busy thank you: “It’s just that I have the final say on where to go . ”
After saying this, Blue and White Tiger and others removed the partition in front of them, revealing the room behind them .
With soft fingers like spring onions, Yu Linglong looked at the horrified father and son with a smile, and said softly: “Go out over there and I will forgive you . ”
Looking at the weird and inexplicable room over there, Minister Feng and his son were completely frightened . Feng Sihuai even sat on the ground, and he was so scared that his bloodless face was gray .
In front of them was an empty room with no furnishings inside . The doors and windows on the left and right sides were all nailed with boards, and even a trace of light could not come in .
There were countless iron wires tied to the wooden boards that criss-crossed in the room, leaving no room to move . Each iron wire was covered with dense iron spikes . The sharp cold light made his scalp numb .
Such a weird room, let alone a big living person, even if it was a small mouse, it would be bloodied by iron spikes when it gets into it!
Feng Sihuai was a thin-skinned young man . Could he endure the pain of iron spikes penetrating all the skin on his body and go through this room? Even if he could hold back the pain, he probably wouldn’t be able to get out of here alive!
Minister Feng and his son looked at the dizzying iron spikes and he couldn’t say a word in shock .
Even if Blue and White Tiger walked over and unlocked the lock on the fence, indicating that Feng Sihuai could come out of the cage, he did not notice . His eyes were staring at the terrible situation in the room, and his face was full of panic .
Yu Linglong didn’t take the time to admire the fearful expressions of the father and son . She stretched out her hand to pick up a piece of sandalwood and inserted it into the incense burner . Then she slowly blew the fire to light the incense, and then calmly looked at Feng Sihuai, faintly said: “You have until this incense burns out . ”
Feng Sihuai suddenly woke up from his fear when the voice fell . He crawled to the front of Minister Feng, clasped his legs tightly with his hands, and cried like a child who had made a mistake: “Father! I don’t want to! I don’t want to go through there! Save me, save me, father!”
Minister Feng was revived by his screaming cry and subconsciously looked down at his son .
He saw that he was no longer the usual dignified son, but rather an embarrassed grieving dog, clutching his pants tightly with his bloodstained hands, crying with snot and tears on his face . His lips trembled, he looked startled and scared, and he stammered: “Father, please…give her money and save me…”
When he mentioned the silver, Minister Feng suddenly remembered .
Eight hundred thousand taels, that’s eight hundred thousand taels!
Minister Feng felt heartache for a while . He was cruel and kicked Feng Sihuai . The veins on his forehead were exposed, and he shouted: “What did you do when you lost? Do this for me! Get in there!”
Unexpectedly, Minister Feng kicked him . Feng Sihuai was caught off guard . He rolled to the edge of the barbed wire . There was a ripping noise, and his clothes had been scratched by iron spikes, and a deep, bloody line was directly drawn on his back!
Feng Sihuai was in so much pain that he was crying and howling, and yelled: “No, I won’t go—”
Minister Feng’s eyes were bloodshot . As if possessed by a demon, he strode forward, picked up Feng Sihuai, and threw him directly into the barbed wire full of sharp spikes!
“My family had been ruined by you . You can’t bear this pain? You can go through or die here!”
Feng Sihuai fell heavily on the barbed wire, and his heavy body made a large piece of iron wire fall down, but the iron spikes on the wires also pierced his skin deeply . Feng Sihuai screamed with pain, and quickly got up, wanting to get out of it, but he was surrounded by terrible iron spikes . No matter where he went, he couldn’t get through . Instead, he got deeper and deeper in the wire fence .
The sharp iron spikes relentlessly pierced his body, pulling his skin and shedding blood . The more he struggled, the deeper and deeper the iron spikes went . His whole body was scraped by the iron wire . The skin was ripped apart and completely unrecognizable, and he was only halfway through this room covered with barbed wire .
His screams resounded in the room, but they couldn’t attract anyone’s sympathy . Yu Linglong sat quietly on the chair as if she was just watching a lively show . Blue and White Tiger and the others stood behind her, their expressionless faces hidden in the dark, looking very cold .
On the other hand, Minister Feng stared at Feng Sihuai’s movements without blinking . Strings of cold sweat slipped on his face, and the muscles of his cheeks couldn’t help twitching . He clearly saw his son struggling in the wire fence with his own eyes . It was not something that made him feel comfortable .
However, his heart was more worried . If Feng Sihuai couldn’t walk through the time a stick of incense burned, then the eight hundred thousand taels of silver would be given to Yu Linglong!
Anxious in his heart, he became even more nonchalant . Amidst Feng Sihuai’s terrifying screams, Minister Feng roared: “Hurry up! Go for me!”
No one knew if Feng Sihuai heard his father’s urging . Everyone could only see that in the end, not an inch of Feng Sihuai’s skin was intact, and his whole body had become muddled with blood, and everywhere he went was covered with his broken skin and flesh, and the whole room was full of heavy blood, and it was nauseating .
There was only the last wire left . Feng Sihuai was spitting blood from his mouth, crawling forward with difficulty, and the palms and arms that stretched out to that wire seemed to have been peeled, completely blood red, and in some places already the dense white bones were exposed . Feng Sihuai stretched out that horrible hand and tried his best to grab the last wire .
As long as he climbed over, everything could be over…
But he couldn’t go anymore .
The experience just now was only a short time, but it was like walking through hell . Feng Sihuai was trembling his lips, and he couldn’t even groan . There was blood dripping all over his body, and the last wire was just a few steps away . He couldn’t reach it for any reason . His blood-red hands stuck in the air, and he was finally stuck in a weird posture . He didn’t have a trace of strength anymore .
Seeing that he fell before the finish line, Minister Feng was furious at the other end: “How come I gave birth to such a useless thing as you . Quickly climb over! You’re almost there!”
Feng Sihuai didn’t seem to hear his voice . He fell motionless in a pool of blood as if he had stopped breathing .
Yu Linglong silently looked at Minister Feng who was scolding him loudly, and suddenly felt that they were a bit pitiful .
She did not pity Feng Sihuai, but his father, Minister Feng .
What kind of magic power did money and status have that could make a father treat his own flesh and blood so cruelly? At this moment, Minister Feng didn’t seem to notice that Feng Sihuai was struggling desperately . His brain was full of eight hundred thousand silvers and his own power .
Was such a person worthy of being called a human?
If Feng Sihuai could survive, would he still recognize this almost inhuman father?
The scent of sandalwood in the air had long since diffused, but no one uttered a sound . Only Minister Feng cursed Feng Sihuai, who had fallen to the ground endlessly as if he wanted to use his own curse to curse the dying Feng Sihuai to rise up from the ground .
After a long time, Yu Linglong spoke coldly .
“Enough . ”
Minister Feng’s cursing stopped abruptly . He quickly glanced at the deserted incense burner, turning to Yu Linglong’s face which gradually turned into a pitiful look .
“Princess, he…he is going by, you see, he’s close . ”
He really hated that useless son . It was just the last wire, why couldn’t he climb over?
Yu Linglong’s face was calm . She didn’t even look at Feng Sihuai, who had almost become a corpse, and said coldly: “Not even a finger went over . ”
In a word, Minister Feng’s last illusion had been extinguished .
Ignoring Feng Sihuai, who he didn’t know whether he was alive or dead, Minister Feng followed Yu Linglong pleading, “Princess, be generous, please do me a favor, and be generous—”
Yu Linglong took Blue and White Tiger and the others to the door before stopping .
“I’ll give you seven days . Eight hundred thousand taels of silver, no less, to the Xu Palace . ”
