Doomsday Rise - #2158 - Chapter 2154, Choice of Interests
Adjutant He is a shrewd man. The more shrewd a man is, the more he has a characteristic, that is, he is worried about gains and losses and has difficulty making decisions. Therefore, Adjutant He can only be an adjutant and cannot take on the responsibility alone. In comparison, Master Qian thinks more thoroughly, or in other words, Master Qian cherishes his life more.
Liu Wei’an called Master Qian out alone, and just said the beginning, Master Qian knelt down and surrendered, expressing his willingness to cooperate in everything.
“From now on, if the governor asks me to go east, I will never go west. If you ask me to kneel, I will never stand.” Master Qian said loudly and righteously.
“Do you know what this governor wants to do?” Liu Wei’an looked at Master Qian with interest. He had seen many people who cooperated, but it was rare to see someone who cooperated like Master Qian. He had not yet started to use the means of coercion and inducement. After all, it was only the opening remarks.
“The governor wants the fourth son and the eldest son to compete for the title and cause civil unrest in Xuanze Province.” Master Qian said.
“Is the governor’s intention so obvious?” Liu Wei’an touched his nose.
“If so, it will be most beneficial to the governor.” Master Qian said.
“You can see through it, so your old marquis can naturally see it too.” Liu Wei’an said.
“The marquis is in seclusion all year round, and we don’t see him once a year. The big and small matters of the Marquis’s mansion are all handled by the eldest son, the second son and the second master.” Master Qian said.
“The second master?” Liu Wei’an immediately realized that this was a person who was ignored.
“The second master was ill in his childhood and had his legs amputated. He can only walk in a wheelchair. Therefore, he basically doesn’t go out. Outsiders rarely know the second master. Before the young masters came of age, the second master was in charge of all matters in the Marquis’s mansion. The young masters all respect the second master very much.” Master Qian said.
“What do you think the governor should do now?” Liu Wei’an asked.
“Write a letter to the eldest son.” Master Qian said flatteringly without thinking: “Asking the Marquis’s Mansion to pay a ransom for the people is a huge demand. As long as the eldest son or the second son hesitates, the fourth son will definitely feel resentful.”
“You are a good master, and you think more comprehensively than this governor,” Liu Wei’an laughed. No matter what Master Qian’s mentality is, his move is really vicious.
No matter what the Marquis’s Mansion chooses, he is the winner. If he takes the ransom, he will earn the ransom. If he doesn’t take it, the fourth son’s resentment will be difficult to vent, and there will definitely be a rift between the brothers of the Chu family.
Master Qian said he didn’t dare.
“I would like to ask Master Qian, what should I ask for this ransom?” Liu Wei’an asked.
“First, martial arts secrets. The Marquis’s Scripture Pavilion contains a large number of martial arts secrets, cultivation experiences, and some ancient books and fragments. The second is gold, silver, and jewelry. There are countless gold, silver, and jewelry in the Marquis’s treasury. The third is talent. In recent years, in order to prevent being liquidated and suppressed, the Marquis’s Mansion has been secretly recruiting talents. Some experts and special talents of the Han Dynasty who were thought to be dead were actually recruited by the Marquis’s Mansion. The last point is women. The Ping’an Army under the Governor has more men than women. In the short term, there is no problem. If it takes a long time, the yin and yang will be out of balance and there may be trouble. The Marquis’s Mansion has considered this problem a long time ago and has many girls.” Master Qian said.
“The Marquis is very shrewd.” Liu Wei’an said, recruiting talents, this is something that everyone can think of, it is not surprising, but preparing girls in advance, this is not something that ordinary people will consider. After all, once a war breaks out, young and strong labor is needed. Women are not as strong or willful as men, and will only become a burden.
Ten years to cultivate a person, a hundred years to plan, without foresight, one would not think of the point of “yin and yang imbalance”.
“It was the second master’s suggestion to keep the girl in captivity.” Master Qian said.
“How many years has Master Qian been in the Marquis’s Mansion?” Liu Wei’an suddenly asked.
“Next month it will be exactly thirty-nine years.” Master Qian replied.
“You should communicate with Chu Xun Zhou first and see his attitude.” Liu Wei’an said.
“Yes!” Master Qian replied respectfully, but when he stood up, he hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: “I suggest that the fourth young master be punished first!”
“What do you mean?” Liu Wei’an liked Master Qian more and more.
“The fourth young master’s personality is a bit stubborn. If you want him to change his mind, you must have ups and downs. The fourth young master has been living a life of luxury since he was a child and has never suffered.” Master Qian said.
“It has to be one of our own.” Liu Wei’an chuckled, “Go down.”
The things that torture people have to be done by the elephant. The elephant is simple-minded and stubborn. There is only the task in his mind and he will not be affected by external factors. The elephant’s torture method is very primitive, which can have an alternative shocking effect.
When Chu Xunzhou was roughly caught by the elephant, he wanted to resist, but was hit in the stomach by the elephant, and the condensed true energy was instantly dispersed. Chu Xunzhou has a high talent and is an absolute master, but compared with a pervert like the elephant, he is far behind.
The elephant swung his iron fist and punched Chu Xunzhou’s toes, one punch after another. Chu Xunzhou’s feet immediately seemed to be chopped by a meat grinder, and the flesh, blood vessels, and bones were mixed together. The soles of the feet, ankles, calves, knees, thighs… After hitting the left leg, the right leg was hit, and the speed was neither fast nor slow, allowing Chu Xunzhou to fully experience every bit of pain. Sweat came out of Chu Xunzhou’s body. After a while, the gorgeous clothes were wet, as if they were fished out of the water.
At first, Chu Xunzhou was still very hard and didn’t say a word. When the elephant started to hit his right leg, he finally couldn’t help but scream in pain.
Chu Xunzhou suddenly trembled and passed out. He was immediately showered with ice water on his head. Chu Xunzhou woke up with a jolt. At this time, Liu Wei’an walked in, looked at Chu Xunzhou who had no trace of blood on his face, and said kindly: “Which will the Fourth Young Master choose between continuing to be tortured or being sent to the hospital?”
“You want me to surrender with this little trick? Liu Wei’an, you overestimate yourself.” Chu Xunzhou sneered. Although it was so painful that it was difficult to speak, the expression on his face was full of ridicule and disdain.
“Then I will come back to see the Fourth Young Master later.” Liu Wei’an smiled slightly and was not in a hurry. He walked a few steps and suddenly turned back to Chu Xunzhou and said: “The elephant does not strike lightly or hard. If it is accidentally broken, Fourth Young Master, please don’t be surprised if you touch the Dantian.”
Chu Xunzhou’s expression suddenly stiffened, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. The physical destruction was just a trauma, and the pain was inevitable, but it was not a big deal for the Marquis Mansion. The Marquis Mansion had the holy medicine of flesh and bones, but the Dantian Once broken, the properties will be different. If the house falls down, as long as you have money, you can rebuild it. If the Dantian is gone, the land has been taken away, and no amount of money will be of use.
“Wait a minute -” When Liu Wei’an walked out of the room, Chu Xunzhou spoke. After saying these two words, it seemed that all his strength had been exhausted, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.
