The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

The yamen runners on both sides were also smart. When they saw Qu Zheng falling to the ground with serious injuries, they swarmed over him, took out the hemp ropes they had prepared at some point, and tied Qu Zheng up tightly.

"Okay! Your Majesty is mighty!"

The people let out a sigh of relief and the crowd erupted in thunderous applause mixed with excited cheers.

"Your Highness is so powerful! Qu Zhengyan is the leader of the martial arts world, but he was captured alive by them. It's so satisfying!"

"That devil in human skin, who was completely unscrupulous and did all kinds of evil things, finally got his retribution!"

"If the princes hadn't come this time, we don't know how long we would have been deceived by that beast. Qu Zhengyan really deserves to die!"

"Your Majesty, we, the common people, collectively request that Your Majesty execute Qu Zhengyan immediately!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

The people waved their fists and shouted their requests over and over again, filled with grief and indignation, and the sound was so loud that it hurt people's eardrums.

"I don't accept it!" Qu Zhengyan screamed on the ground while enduring the severe pain all over his body, his face full of resentment and resentment, "You guys are besieging me, this is not fair!"

Xia Younan snorted disdainfully, "Fairness is made for people. You are not even a human being, how can you have the nerve to talk about fairness to us?"

Qu Zhengyan was speechless after being rebuked by her, and was so angry that his whole body was shaking violently like a sieve.

It's really ridiculous. Qu Zhengyan was known as a god for his swordsmanship, but in the last battle he didn't even touch the sword.

If he were given a sword, these people might not be his match!

"What kind of death should we give him?" Xia Younan looked at the people outside the door, as if they were discussing a common thing.

When the people heard this, they became interested. Some said to cut off his flesh piece by piece with a knife; some said to dismember him; some said to burn him alive; some said to hang him with a rope!

The people really hated him, and each of their suggestions was more cruel than the last. Qu Zhengyan was terrified, his hair stood on end, and cold sweat dripped down his body.

Xia Younan nodded thoughtfully, hesitated for a while, and said to the people: "Okay, but it's still too easy for him. Why don't you come in first and beat him half to death, and then we will torture him bit by bit."

"Okay!" The people were eager to take action themselves. When they heard her say that, they immediately cheered and rushed into the court, pounced on Qu Zhengyan and beat him up.

All the people gathered around, surrounding Qu Zhengyan in three layers inside and outside, trying their best to vent their hatred on him.

"Ah! Help! Stop hitting me!" Qu Zhengyan was surrounded and beaten by the people. He screamed in pain and rolled and struggled on the ground, but to no avail.

Fists, kicks, mixed with people's anger and curses, tortured Qu Zhengyan to his heart's content. How could the word "miserable" be enough to describe it?

His screams became louder and louder, each one was shrill and miserable, but no one showed any sympathy for him.

"Xiaoyou!" He suddenly shouted heartbreakingly, still wanting to use the father-daughter relationship as a bargaining chip.

"Xiaoyou, I am your father. No matter what, I raised you and loved and cared for you. How could you have the heart to put me to death?"

"Heh..." Qu Xiaoyou looked like she had heard the funniest joke in the world, with a face full of sarcasm.

"Really? You were going to burn me to death, but I escaped because I sneaked away.

"You've been nice to me all these years just to use me to gain sympathy from the public. And just now, every move you made was aimed at taking my life.

"Now, you tell me to let me consider the father-daughter relationship? Haha..."

Qu Xiaoyou sneered, her eyes turned red, and her smile contained overwhelming sadness and desolation.

Qu Zhengyan thought he was in the wrong, so he stopped begging for mercy and continued to scream uncontrollably.

From the top of his head to the soles of his feet, every part of his body was attacked and beaten by the angry people. He bled from all seven orifices and was in great pain all over. He wished he could faint.

But he just couldn't faint, and could only clearly feel the torture that was worse than death.

The people's beating lasted for an incense stick of time. Qu Zhengyan finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Stop beating! I have what you want!"

Lu Xiuyuan and Xia Younan looked at each other, smiled in tacit understanding, stepped forward to stop the people, and persuaded them to go back outside the court.

The crowd dispersed, and Qu Zheng was seriously exposed in front of several people.

He had been beaten beyond recognition, his head was swollen like a pig's, and blood was flowing from his mouth, nose, and ears.

Lu Xiuyuan walked up to him and looked down at him, "Are you willing to tell me? Where is the thing?"

Qu Zhengyan opened his swollen eyes and asked in surprise: "You already know that the things are with me?"

"What do you think?" Chen Yi, who had been in the crowd, walked over and sneered at him with sadness and hatred.

Qu Zhengyan's heart skipped a beat and he was suddenly speechless.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me where the thing is!" Xia Younan said in a low voice.

Qu Zhengyan panted heavily and tried his best to negotiate with them. "Okay, I'll give you the things, but you have to spare my life."

"Ah, you still dare to negotiate with us?!" Xia Younan was unhappy. He squatted down and grabbed his collar, cursing angrily, "Shameless, everything you did is a capital crime. Nothing can offset your death penalty. Do you understand?"

"Then...then I won't tell you." Qu Zhengyan was still trying to threaten.

Xia Younan smiled coldly, stood up and ordered the yamen runners: "Go, try all the tortures in the government office on him, such as the clamp, the tiger bench, the pepper water, the cramp pulling, and the skinning. Be careful not to beat him to death, torture him little by little!"

The bailiffs followed orders and fetched the instruments of torture. Xia Younan looked at the people and said, "Go on, folks. Be careful not to hit the vital parts."

"Okay!" The people seemed to have not had enough fun yet and rushed in eagerly.

Qu Zhengyan immediately became timid when he saw this scene. He was not afraid of death, but no one could bear such humiliation and torture.

"No! I just want you to give me a quick death!"

He finally compromised and closed his eyes with despair on his face.

Xia Younan raised his hand to stop the people rushing over and said, "Okay, as long as you return the things to us, I can give you a quick death and stop you from suffering."

Qu Zhengyan nodded breathlessly, "Okay, I stored the things in a cave. The cave is too hidden and hard to find. I'll take you to find it."

Xia Younan narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously, "You're not going to play any tricks, are you?"

"I'm already in this situation. With so many of you around, what tricks can I play? The most I want to do is live a few more hours." Qu Zhengyan looked sincere.

Xia Younan looked at Lu Xiuyuan, and after a discussion, they decided to do as he said.

So Lu Xiuyuan untied the hemp rope tied around Qu Zhengyan's feet, asked two jailers to support him, and led everyone out of the city.

The people also wanted to know what would happen next, so they followed them in a mighty procession.
