Chapter 132 - 132 Plea

132 Plea

“According to this rule, the main culprit who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country should be punished with a slow death! However, we don’t have any good ginseng in our camp to help these two people extend their lives!

Besides, there’s no need to use such precious herbs on these two sinners who deserve to die!

Therefore, Mr. Pei doesn’t have many requests. It just depends on how long the two of you can last!”

As Qian He spoke, he slowly retreated to the side and gestured for his subordinates, who were already prepared, to come over and execute the punishment.

“Madam Liu, your medical skills are superb. Do you know the details of the dismemberment technique?”

Pei Qian didn’t gain any advantage in his previous confrontation with Lu Ze. At this moment, he no longer wanted to waste his efforts, so he focused on Lin Suisui.

“I heard that they’re all family heirlooms.” Lin Suisui lowered her eyes and replied in a low voice, “But I heard from my mentor that most families who know this skill have good knife skills and excellent culinary skills!”

She paused. Seeing that Pei Qian didn’t say anything, she continued, “Actually, I’m afraid you’re asking the wrong person!

Coroners are like doctors. However, those who are good at this won’t study medicine. Instead, they will be more inclined to learn knife skills.”

After Lin Suisui finished speaking, she didn’t say anything else.

At this moment, the two executioners beside the torture rack were already prepared. They were just waiting for Pei Qian to give the order so that they could attack.

However, Pei Qian wasn’t in a hurry.

He looked at Lin Suisui and nodded gently to show that he had understood. Then, he said, “Have you heard about the crown prince?!”

Lin Suisui lowered her eyes and suppressed the uneasiness and shock in her heart. This question was too sudden. She wasn’t prepared at all.

Still…

After a moment of silence, Lin Suisui shook her head gently. “No. If not for the disaster in our hometown, my husband and I wouldn’t have fled to the capital to take refuge.

“You’re talking about incomparably noble people. How can ordinary people like us who were born in the countryside know them?!”

“The crown prince led the army at the age of 15 and guarded the northern region for five years! In those five years, although the northern barbarians had been causing war every year, the northern border was as safe as a rock! Do you know why?!”

Pei Qian didn’t care about Lin Suisui’s perfunctory words. He continued, “The crown prince never takes prisoners of war when he leads troops into battle. To him, there’s no need to keep those barbarians from the north alive!

At that time, deep in the northern grassland, there was once a long row of wooden stakes that stretched as far as the eye could see. They were filled with the corpses of northern barbarians!

The northern barbarians hated him to the core, but there was nothing they could do!

After knowing that they couldn’t get rid of him on the battlefield, they thought of other ways! For example, they sent people to bribe the officials and get them to overthrow the crown prince!

“With an incompetent person like Gao Xuwei guarding the border, what’s the difference between the northern barbarians attacking or not?! They can still invade the territory of the empire as if there’s no one around!”

At this point, Pei Qian was clearly angry.

His gaze had already moved away from Lin Suisui and landed steadily on Lu Ze. “But do you know where the crown prince is now?!”

“Prince, you’re being righteous now, but have you forgotten the most important thing?! Gao Xuwei is your uncle!

He is in this position now because of your family’s support!

Aren’t you embarrassing yourself in public by saying this?!”

Pei Qian was angry, but Lin Suisui felt even more indignant! Why did the crown prince disappear? As the fourth prince’s cousin, didn’t Pei Qian know?!

His family was a participant in these schemes, but now, he was acting innocent, as if he didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

“Madam Liu, you seem very dissatisfied?! Are you feeling indignant for the crown prince?!”

Surprisingly, this accusation didn’t anger Pei Qian. Instead, he laughed, as if he had discovered something interesting. “Forget it, I said too much today! Just as Madam Liu said just now, you guys really don’t know about these sorts of things!

Why don’t we watch the punishment?!”

“Prince, have you finished asking and investigating these people?!”

Just as Pei Qian was about to instruct the two people below to carry out the execution, Lin Suisui suddenly asked Pei Qian.

“Of course I’m done asking. If I wasn’t done, I wouldn’t have been able to get evidence to bring them to justice, right?!” Pei Qian’s eyes lit up and he supported his chin as he looked at Lin Suisui, as if he wasn’t surprised that his instructions were interrupted at this moment.

“Then, can you show mercy and give them a quick death?!” Lin Suisui turned to look at the mangled mother and daughter on the torture rack. Then, she turned to bow to Pei Qian, who was sitting high above. “They’ve already been punished severely. In terms of getting revenge for me, I’ve already had enough!

There’s really no need to do this.”

“I thought you would beg me to let them go!” Pei Qian looked surprised. He stared at Lin Suisui for a long time before smiling meaningfully. “You know, with your contributions, if you ask me to let them go, I’ll at least consider it and give you face!”

“You also said that colluding with the enemy and betraying the country is a serious crime! I can’t let you disregard the country’s laws. I just want to free them from pain!”

Lin Suisui shook her head and explained the reason for her decision very frankly. “I’m just an ordinary person. I can’t repay evil with kindness like a saint!

I just want to be merciful. Since we already want them to be executed, we might as well give them a quick death!”

No matter how she thought about it, the Zhu family’s ending was already a foregone conclusion!

She was asking for a quick death for Mrs. He and her daughter not only for them, but for herself!

Although there was no ginseng in the camp to extend their lives, if someone who could work for Pei Qian killed them with just a dozen slashes, they would have been kicked out by Pei Qian!

Therefore, it was really immense torture for her to continue staying here and watch the entire process! She didn’t want to torture herself here, so she might as well be a good person. This way, everyone would be free and everyone would be happy.
