***Growl~***

Wu Shuigen, Landlord Wu, swallowed his saliva and immediately saw a delicate woman beside him, offering a cup of fragrant tea with both hands.

Even though Wu Shuigen was sitting in a chair with a slightly hunched waist at the moment, she still didn't show any awkwardness and offered two plump figures resembling those in Tang Palace attire.

This half was given to Wu Xiaoqi, while the other half was given to the White Lotus rebel who was being interrogated.

However, the thief with a broken left leg still didn't look at all.

This was the third parishioner brought before Wu Shuigen. Unlike the first two, who cursed loudly, he remained silent from beginning to end, just silently watching Wu Shuigen.

But the cold and distant gaze was like a heavy burden, making Wu Shuigen almost unable to catch his breath.

It was better to be scolded like a bloody dog!

Wu Shuigen cursed from the bottom of his heart, and impatiently shook his sleeve to vent his anger at the palace-dressed woman, saying, "Take it away, I'm not thirsty!"

"If the adult is thirsty, just instruct the slave."

The woman was not angry either. She retreated to the side as if she were really a maid serving Wu Shuigen.

Wu Shuigen, however, showed no mercy at all. If it weren't for this little hoof provoking Xu-Shi, why would he have fought alone here?

After swallowing his saliva heavily again, Wu Shuigen stuttered and advised, "I have told you everything that needed to be said, the... the court really wants to accept us. Our brothers are working hard in the Holy... White Lotus Sect, isn’t that what we just want, to live a good life?"

After finishing speaking, Wu Shuigen sighed to himself as he saw that the parishioner was still frowning coldly. He had no intention of persuading surrender anymore, and with a dejected flick of his sleeve, he said, "Next, next!"

Two Dragon Guards immediately flashed out and dragged the person out like a dead dog.

At this moment, the person finally spoke up.

He turned his head and spat at Wu Shuigen, disdainfully uttering two words, "Coward!"

Just these two words made Wu Shuigen's heart ache, and he couldn't recover for a while.

By the time he regained his composure, the fourth awakened White Lotus rebel had already been pinned down on the opposite chair.

Although Wu Shuigen had long grown tired of this *’unscrupulous’* job, he also knew that he could never disobey Sun Shaozong's orders.

Thinking about the current situation of himself and his wife, he could only grit his head and continue, "I am Wu Shuigen, originally under the command of Insense Master Li, in the middle of the Capital..."

"You are Wu Shuigen?"

The new thief suddenly interrupted Wu Shuigen, glanced up and down at him curiously, and asked in reverse, "What about your wife, Xu? Did she also join the puppet court?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Shuigen's heart trembled. Although his and his wife's identities and backgrounds were not as secretive as the legendary No. 3, they were not accessible to ordinary believers.

Was it possible that this person was also an Incense Master?!

Although there were rumors outside that Sun Shaozong captured two Incense Masters alive and killed three, it was just speculation based on his clothing and appearance.

There were only two confirmed identities of the Incense Master at present, one was Auntie Li, who was captured alive, and the other was the notorious Liu Junbao.

So among these prisoners, there might be ordinary people who were mistaken as Incense Masters, or Incense Masters who were treated as ordinary people.

So Wu Shuigen became more careful and apologized with a smile, "I don't know what position you held in the sect? How could you know the identity of me and my wife?"

"Brother?"

The person sneered and said with a big grin, "I almost became brother-in-law with you. Unfortunately, I was soft-hearted at the time and only touched your wife a few times in the pharmacy. If I had known that you would betray the Holy Cult, I would have taken advantage of the medicine and dealt with her first!"

"You!"

Wu Shuigen rubbed against it and jumped up, glaring at the person with his eyes splitting.

"That woman didn't tell you, did she?"

Although the person was tied up in various ways and stuffed with a mouthful to prevent suicide, he still provoked Wu Shuigen incessantly, "Look at your cowardly behavior, I'm afraid you're also a soft egg in bed! That woman was touched by me so much that she won't tell you the truth..."

"Shut up!"

***Pak!***

Wu Shuigen slapped the person in the face, and the ball immediately pierced his cheeks, causing his eyes to bleed profusely.

But the person burst into a wild laugh, spraying blood foam and saying proudly, "After all, your old lady is not as tender as a little girl, but her buttocks are very curled up. I rubbed them back and forth a few times, and each time I couldn't bear to let go..."

"I told you to shut up!"

Wu Shuigen kicked the person and the chair to the ground without looking at him. With red eyes, he rushed out of the interrogation room, grabbed a small guard outside the door, and forced him to tell Xu's whereabouts.

The small guard had already listened to everything and naturally knew why he wanted to find Xu, so he gloated and pointed the way.

Wu Shuigen immediately rushed over and saw Xu in a daze in front of an empty prison cell. He stepped forward and kicked the cell door open, limping and biting his teeth, forcefully pulling Xu inside.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?!"

Xu was always loved and treasured by him, and even when he tried to persuade her to surrender yesterday, he begged her one after another. How could he have been treated so cruelly?

She was a bit annoyed at the moment. She was about to push Wu Shuigen away, but he had already grabbed her collar, gritting his teeth, he asked, "What did you do behind my back when that dog came to grab medicine in the middle of the night a few days ago?"

Upon hearing these words, Xu's anger immediately receded like a tide, and she hesitated, saying, "Of course... It's just medicine..."

Wu Shuigen saw her stuttering so much that his lungs almost exploded. He slapped her in the face and cursed loudly, "Bitch! I... I was still watching a lookout in the corner, you... you..."

Seeing his angry face turn blue, Xu explained in a panic, "I... I also saw that Brother Liu was pitiful. He said... He said that this time he went to the Capital, there might be death. Dying is not a big deal, but he has lived such a big life and never touched a woman before. It's really hard to die in peace."

"So... did you agree to have sex with him?!"

"No! I saw him crying so sadly, and then I remembered that if my younger brother hadn't died, he would have been this old. I let him hug me... a few times, and when he was about to start being reckless, I... I pushed him away!"

As Xu spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. Combined with that servant's words, Wu Shuigen's bone-wrenching shame and anger instantly diminished. However, he slapped Xu in the face with a backhand and cursed, "You stupid woman, that servant is clearly deceiving you. You actually took it seriously!"

Immediately, he viciously left the cell with the words, "I'll settle accounts with you later," and strode out of the cell.

Outside, he saw two small guards guarding the door with strange expressions, obviously eavesdropping on the conversation between the couple just now.

Wu Shuigen felt ashamed and angry in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel some happiness.

Fortunately, the people of the court found the door ahead of time. Otherwise, according to his wife's tough and fearless nature, and soft and obedient, if she were to be deceived by that guy a few more times, she might have been tricked by him!

Thinking of the thief bird teasing his wife in the pharmacy and foolishly watching them under the wall, Wu Shuigen couldn't help but grit his teeth in hatred.

When they arrived at the interrogation room, they saw that the thief surnamed Liu had been helped up and sat back in a chair.

Wu Shuigen immediately stepped forward and kicked his broken right leg, twisting it viciously. "You scumbag, since you know my identity, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you. Tell me, will you confess or not?"

***Spit!***

The thief surnamed Liu's forehead was in pain, and he was sweating profusely. His lips were even purple, but he still spat out a bloody spit and sneered, "A soft egg that a dog has entered. Aren’t you just as useless as I?"

The words hit Wu Shuigen again, and he was so angry that he needed to increase his strength. However, the woman in palace attire next to him came forward and advised, "Lord Wu, please calm down and be careful of your own body."

Upon hearing these words, Wu Shuigen thought she didn't want him to continue the execution and angrily moved his foot away.

Just as he was about to curse a few more words to relieve his hatred, the woman reached out to the west wall and said in a coquettish voice, "If you really want to execute, there are good tools on this shelf. Why waste your strength?"

Upon hearing these words, Wu Shuigen hit the nail on the head. He hated this person surnamed Liu to the bone. It didn’t matter whether he confessed or not. He could indeed relieve his anger!

With this thought in mind, he came to the torture tool rack on the west wall and roughly scanned it. Unexpectedly, there were more than half of them he could not understand their intended use. He didn't know which one to choose. Suddenly, he found a small guillotine on the rack, with a design and size that seemed different from his usual medicinal cutting.

He couldn't help but curiously pick up the small guillotine and ask, "What is this thing used for?"

The woman in palace attire at the back smiled and trembled profusely before saying, "Your Excellency is really insightful. Among these many tools of punishment, you have chosen this descendant cutting stick."

"Descendant cutting stick?"

"That's right."

The palace-dressed woman took the small guillotine and compared it to her waist, jokingly saying, "One chop, won't you lose your descendants?"

Originally used for palace punishment!

Wu Shuigen shuddered and then felt that this thing was just right for him. If he cut off his lust, how would that guy harass his good family in the future?!

At this moment, the woman in palace attire said, "But this thing is not something that can be done with just one cut. Generally, it needs to be combined with the principle of *'the golden spear does not fall.'* First, let the man tighten the object, and then thin it down. Some will become soft with just one cut, while others can be cut several times."

"However..."

Wu Shuigen was listening with both resentment and coldness. When he saw the woman in palace attire hesitating, he quickly asked, "But what?"

The woman in palace attire hesitated and said, "But if this tool were used on a person, three out of ten will die. After all, this is a designated criminal..."

"No problem!"

Before she could finish speaking, the young guard in charge of *’guarding’* outside the door suddenly interjected, "The Inspector has already told us that there will always be death when using means of torture to extract confessions. As long as it is not the leading group of serious criminals, one or two others dying, it would have been a warning to the rooster."

When Wu Shuigen heard this, he hesitated for a moment. He grabbed the descendant's cutter and ordered the woman to fetch the medicine that kept the golden spear from falling.

When the woman obediently went, he opened and closed the cutter a few times, his eyes red, and he grinned, "I've been cutting medicinal herbs in the Capital for nine years, but it turns out to be a craft prepared for you! Don't worry, I will definitely do you the favor. Without cutting eight or ten times, I won't..."

"I will speak, I confess!"

Before he could finish speaking, the thief surnamed Liu screamed like a plague chicken, holding his neck together.
