Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 750 Multiple Worlds

The three of them went together to visit Haizhu, the bandit leader who was currently tied up. They weren't lecherous; after all, with their status, what kind of stunning beauty couldn't they encounter? What seemed impossible for ordinary people to meet was just a matter of saying hello to their subordinates. Even if it were the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, one of them could easily do it.

"Isn't it said that all the agents in your Investigation Department are eunuchs? But to my opinion, this binding is quite professional."

When Li Shimin saw the intricate knots binding Haizhu's body, his expression was somewhat amused: "Whether I say it or not, you guys really know your stuff."

His words almost made Xia Lin burst out laughing, but to be fair, the way he tied her up was indeed a bit erotic, and the skill involved was truly as high as a three-story building.

At this moment, Haizhu was looking up at them, but her mouth was stuffed with a rag and she couldn't speak. She could only plead with her pitiful eyes.

"Make her speak," Emperor Jingtai said coldly, raising his chin.

The men below immediately stepped forward and removed the object from the female bandit leader's mouth. At this moment, Haizhu breathed a sigh of relief and was finally able to speak.

Although she didn't know who the three people in front of her were, she knew they were men, so she immediately unleashed her invincible charm.

"My lords, you have truly misunderstood Haizhu. I am a woman from a respectable family. If you don't believe me, please search my body and you will know."

Xia Lin turned to look at Li Shimin: "Aren't you the most lecherous? Go up and search him."

"No, I'm disgusted by mouths that have eaten human flesh. Tuoba Jing will go."

"Am I crazy to go?" Emperor Jingtai glanced at him. "No interest."

When Haizhu overheard their conversation, her eyes suddenly changed, and she began to shout: "Are you even men? You've been given a chance, but you're useless! I'm telling you this: I have a treasure worth 300,000 taels hidden away. If you release me, all 300,000 taels are yours! If you kill me, none of you will get the money! Hahaha, what are you officials for? Isn't it just for money and women? Now you have women right in front of you, and you have money right in front of you, what are you afraid of?!"

"Three hundred thousand taels." Xia Lin turned to look at the two gentlemen beside him: "That's quite a lot."

"It's quite a lot."

At this moment, Li Shimin stepped over the railing. The guards next to him were about to stop him, but Xia Lin raised her hand to block them. Then, Li Shimin stepped forward and untied the ropes binding the female bandit leader.

"That's more like it." Haizhu stretched her limbs and gently pressed Erfeng's chest: "From today onwards, the silver and the slave are yours."

But who knew that the next moment Erfeng would swing the rope to the roof beam, then grab Haizhu's arm and twist it to stomp her to the ground. Then he would tie her up tightly, grab the other end of the rope and hoist the female bandit leader up.

The way she was bound now was countless times more erotic than before, reaching the pinnacle of human bondage art. He stood beside her, stroking his chin, letting the female bandit leader hanging there curse him, but there was no desire in his eyes, only appreciation for his own artistic achievement.

"Doesn't this look much better?"

After Erfeng finished speaking, she used the lance next to her to shove the female bandit leader. The bandit leader, who was originally hanging there and only cursing, was now cursing while being spun around.

Xia Lin and Emperor Jingtai were laughing so hard they could hardly stand it. Even the guards responsible for watching over Haizhu turned their faces away and thought about the sadness of the day she was castrated when she was a child ten times over before they could finally suppress their laughter.

"What did you just say? Three hundred thousand taels? Three hundred thousand taels won't satisfy my appetite." Erfeng said, using her lance to lift the bandit leader's clothes: "Oh my, quite fair and tender."

As he spoke, he returned to Xia Lin's side, embracing his spear and admiring his work: "Keep these 300,000 taels for later use in summoning ghost soldiers."

Xia Lin sneered and pointed at her, saying, "Before your execution by slow slicing tomorrow, let's clean her up and parade her through the streets as a little extra perk for the brothers in the city."

Haizhu's curses continued unabated, but they had already left the place.

The next day, when the female bandit leader was paraded through the streets, it was even more spectacular than the execution that day. Everyone had heard that this was a benefit bestowed upon the people of the city by Lord Xia, and all the men in the city flocked to the scene. At this moment, the cannibalistic female bandit leader was firmly fixed to a large, spread-eagle wooden stick like a butterfly caught in a spider web. The guards might not have other skills, but their ability to understand what the superior wanted was absolutely top-notch. In addition, since they were all eunuchs, they knew how to make a person feel extremely humiliated and indignant.

The convoy will circle Ningbo Prefecture three times, each lap taking one hour. After three laps, it will be exactly noon, ensuring that everyone in the city can see it clearly and in perfect detail.

"How could such a beautiful woman be a bandit leader? What a pity." "Pah! It won't be a pity when she digs out your heart and liver to eat with wine. Don't you know? A few days ago, a family from Chengnan Village encountered this group of Japanese pirates on their way back home. No one from that family survived. Their baby, who was still drinking milk, was roasted alive on the fire and eaten."

"That's absolutely damnable!"

"It really has to be His Majesty! He's truly worthy!"

The bandit leader, Haizhu, was quite a wild and unruly character. Even in this state, she was still cursing like crazy, saying that one day she would wipe out the entire city, and that she would call on the Japanese army to march on Nanjing.

Hearing this, Xia Lin frowned and raised his hand to stop the convoy: "Go, cut out her tongue."

Upon hearing this, the servant rushed forward, pried open her mouth, and hooked it with an iron hook. Her tongue was pulled out long, and then the sharp, thin knife slicing down with a sizzle, leaving a whole piece of tongue in the plate below.

The bandit leader screamed, but his mouth was filled with hemostatic powder. At this moment, the people below immediately clapped and cheered, the applause was deafening. The envoys from the Baga Kingdom in the city, upon hearing Haizhu's words, wished they could just smash their heads against the wall and die on the spot. They had been trying their best to communicate with the Great Wei and ask them not to attack, but now, as soon as this bastard opened his mouth, they knew they were completely doomed.

The execution of other people by slow slicing usually resulted in death on the same day, or at the latest by nightfall, because the technique was not very skilled. However, the person who executed this female bandit leader was an old hand known as "Ghost Hand" in the Investigation Department. He was thin and skinny with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face. After he was put on the execution platform, he said to the female bandit leader with a fawning face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have offended you."

As he spoke, he took out a whole row of tools from his box. He picked up a pair of pliers and said, "This is for pulling teeth. Miss, let's pull your tooth first, okay? Just bear with it and don't struggle. It'll be quick."

The execution by a professional is much more entertaining. During the execution, the onlookers were not attracted by the female bandit leader's body at all, but by his superb technique.

I've heard of the legendary butcher Ding who dissected an ox, but now I realize that dissecting a person is also very stress-relieving. That kind of skill, like carving a work of art, can't be achieved without thirty years of practice.

“Speaking of which, I was thinking of transferring this guy to the medical school,” Xia Lin suddenly said. “Little Six.”

"My subordinate is here."

“We’ll transfer this guy with the pointed face to the medical school. He’s quite skilled. Let him teach anatomy to the kids in the surgery department.”

"Understood, I will take care of it shortly."

By this time, the female bandit leader had no strength left to shout. Her hands had been stripped bare, leaving only bare bones, but thanks to the exquisite technique, not much blood was drawn; it was pure torture.

But even the emperor had never seen such a scene before. Emperor Jingtai was watching it through a telescope, and he was so engrossed that he didn't even have time to speak. His expression showed his admiration for the exquisite skill.

"Stop looking and come eat!" Erfeng called out. "I'm starving. I just asked the shopkeeper for a meat slice soup. Come and try the meat slices."

To be honest, there are no good people in Li Tang; he's doing this purely on purpose...

While the whole city was busy watching the parade and execution, a large number of cargo wagons had already arrived one after another. Most of these wagons were loaded with military rations and weapons. Although the flagship was still under construction, the ships couldn't wait for equipment. So, since the letter of declaration to go to war with Japan had been sent, they had to make full preparations in advance.

The navy continues its routine of training and patrols. The largest pirate gang has been wiped out, and they have been behaving themselves for the rest of the time. Although everyone knows that these pirates are currently only lying low and not completely eliminated, they should be quiet for a long time after this battle. In fact, a large number of them will leave this area to go to the East or South Seas to resume their old ways.

However, few people knew about the even more exciting war preparations behind this bandit suppression frenzy.

Some say Xia Lin is a war maniac, that wherever he goes since his debut, war breaks out and there is no peace. But only those who truly understand know that every war he fights is a war he has to fight. If he doesn't fight, his sons and grandsons will fight. If he doesn't kill those people, his sons and grandsons will kill them. If you want to build a powerful country, some methods are truly unavoidable.

Without the war to suppress Buddhism, the land in the Central Plains could not be returned to the people, and tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, would still starve to death on the fertile plains every year. Without the war in Hebei, powerful families would support wave after wave of warlords, who would keep the whole country in turmoil, imposing taxes on everything from breathing to every whim.

There were also the Northwest War, the Southwest War, the Southeast War, the Lingnan War... and so on, but none of these wars had ever drawn Xia Lin's attention as much as this one. Anyway, before he came here, he couldn't get the country to go to war with Baka, and after he came here, he still couldn't get the country to go to war with Baka. So what the hell was the point of him coming here? You have to understand that he came here because he sacrificed himself when Baka's mission to eliminate traitors was exposed. The fact that he could endure this grudge until now shows that he has a great sense of the big picture.

Now is the perfect time for Mr. Yamamoto.
