Marrying You (2)

Fu Xiuyi stood up and thought for a moment before instructing the person beside him, "Go to the dungeon."0

There was a dungeon in Prince Ding's mansion that was built in the ancestral hall in the courtyard. The royal ancestral hall was not here. The reason why he built an ancestral hall in his mansion was to pray to the Buddha. On the wall, there was a benevolent-looking Guanyin statue. If one lifted the painting beside it, they would see a small laughing Buddha holding a wooden fish. Once the wooden fish was twisted, a stone door would slowly open, revealing a passage. Walking down the passage, one would enter the dungeon.

The dungeon was filled with spies or people who had made a huge mistake. Death was too lenient a punishment for them,, so all kinds of tortures were used herer. As soon as they entered, the air was filled with the smell of blood. The stone walls were filled with thin leather-like things. When one looked carefully, they would see that they were actually dead people. The dead people were skinned and dried here. They still had an extremely painful expression on their faces before they died.

Outside was the ancestral hall, but inside, it was even more terrifying than a hell/

Fu Xiuyi walked in with a leisurely expression and looked at the human skins on both sides with admiration. His subordinate led the way. When he was brought to the last room, he stopped.

The person locked up in this room was hung upside down on the beam and was drenched in blood. His clothes were dyed bright red, and because he was hung upside down, from time to time, blood would drip to the ground, forming a small pool of blood.

Fu Xiuyi looked at that person quietly. That person seemed to have fainted. He gave the person beside him a look, and immediately, that person poured a bucket of water on the prisoner.

That prisoner shuddered, and his entire body could not help but tremble non-stop.

Fu Xiuyi smiled and went forward. "Sir, are you used to living here?"

The water washed away the blood on the prisoner's face. It was Pei Lang.

Pei Lang smiled and replied with a trembling voice, "Thanks to Your Highness, I'm doing well."

"I knew long ago that you were not an ordinary person. I didn't expect you to be not only talented, but also unyielding. Otherwise… why would the Shen family send you here?" Fu Xiuyi sighed and said, "Everyone says that the soldiers under Shen Xin are all heroic. Sir, you're a scholar. I didn't expect you to be so tough. I also want to know how General Shen trains his people."

Pei Lang panted and smiled. "I have nothing to do with General Shen."

"It's been a few days, but you're still refusing to give in." Fu Xiuyi said, "Although your integrity is commendable, it gives me a headache. I have no choice but to specially prepare some extraordinary torture methods for you."

Pei Lang only smiled and did not speak.

Fu Xiuyi looked at him and said in a very gentle tone, "You're talented and I admire you very much. I'm a soft-hearted person and am willing to give you a chance. After you make contributions and atone for your sins, I'll pretend that nothing happened. I'll regard you as my teacher just like before. You're my most capable aide." He approached Pei Lang and said coaxingly, "As long as you tell me what secrets the Shen family has and why you were sent to my side. How about that?"
