Chapter 1103

The methods for dealing with people in the torture room were varied and dazzling.

Chen Guanlou's inner strength was such that he didn't easily set foot in that place; it was too dark, too bloody, and too oppressive. If a person stayed inside for too long, a perfectly good person would either go crazy or become perverted.

So, it is said that not everyone has the ability to eat the rice of an executioner.

Without a naturally bloodthirsty gene, one cannot eat this rice. Even if one forces it down, it's half-cooked rice—a sin!

With his order, Hu Laoer was dragged to the torture room.

The executioner in the torture room received the order to keep his life, enough to support three thousand cuts, and also to make him suffer pain that ordinary people cannot endure, making him regret coming into this world and regret the evil deeds he had done.

This requirement would be difficult to achieve elsewhere, as failing to grasp the weight would easily kill the person.

But in the torture room, it was a small problem. They had plenty of methods; without using heavy torture, they could still make a prisoner regret being born into this world.

Chen Guanlou sat in the office, his anger still hard to dispel.

Looking at the case file in his hand, the more he looked, the angrier he became.

Good people don't live long, while scourges live for a thousand years.

A perfectly good young lady, gentle and kind, with high moral character, didn't discriminate against vulnerable groups like others, but instead encountered an unspeakable disaster because of it and even lost her life.

Then what is the point of being a good person?

What is the point of teaching one's own children to be honest people and good citizens?

The more he thought, the angrier he became, and the more he felt it wasn't worth it for the second Miss Yang.

When the Medical Official Mu learned the details of the matter and read the case file, he sighed, "So raising children, once you raise them, it's a lifetime of responsibility; you can't have peace even when you're old."

Chen Guanlou then said, "That's why I firmly refuse to raise children."

Children are all debts!

The Medical Official Mu didn't argue with him, only saying, "It's hard to be a good person, especially a harmless good person. In my view, just being a person is enough; it doesn't matter if you're a good person or a bad person."

Chen Guanlou nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing. Yet many people are unwilling to be people and insist on being animals.

Several days later, Chen Guanlou met the Yang family at the Ministry of Justice. The one who came to negotiate was the eldest brother of the second Miss Yang. They demanded that Hu Laoer be sliced into thousands of pieces—three thousand cuts—but not executed publicly.

Because the second Miss Yang's ordeal was kept confidential, it hadn't spread, at least preserving a bit of reputation for the poor girl.

Once the execution was public and the sentence was carried out in the open, the second Miss's ordeal could no longer be hidden, and she would be criticized after death. In this day and age, gossips are everywhere, regardless of gender, especially when it involves "sensational" scenes. Even things that didn't happen would be described with vivid detail.

The Yang family wanted to protect the second Miss's reputation at all costs; she died so miserably that she couldn't be criticized, slandered, and vilified after death.

As the saying goes, a name in life and a name after death!

Men want a reputation, and women want a reputation just the same!

Sun Daoning agreed very readily and issued the verdict on the spot: Hu Laoer would be sliced into three thousand pieces, not executed publicly. It would be carried out in the Heavenly Prison, with the Heavenly Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen Guanlou supervising the execution!

Chen Guanlou received the order and said to the eldest Master Yang, "When the execution takes place, your family can send people to observe. Rest assured, the executioner is experienced and this is not his first time slicing a prisoner. I guarantee three thousand cuts, not a single one less. Until the last cut falls, I will never let the prisoner die prematurely."

The eldest Master Yang's eyes were bloodshot; he clearly hadn't rested well these days.

"Many thanks, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen! This is exactly what we hope to see. My sister was such a gentle and kind person, why did she have to encounter such a disaster! Hu Laoer being sliced into thousands of pieces is not enough to dispel the hatred of our whole family! On the day of the execution, I will observe it myself; I want to see Hu Laoer sliced into thousands of pieces with my own eyes! Additionally, I have one more request."

"Speak. We will satisfy whatever we can."

"I hope to perform the first cut myself."

Chen Guanlou frowned.

A novice, with emotions running high—if he accidentally stabbed the person to death with one cut, wouldn't it be a loss that outweighs the gain?

He tactfully refused, saying, "This isn't very appropriate. The executioners are professionals, and every cut they make is measured. They can make the prisoner fully taste the pain of being sliced without letting the prisoner faint or die from excessive blood loss. We ordinary people don't know our own strength; if we accidentally kill the prisoner, wouldn't that be letting the other side off too easily?"

The eldest Master Yang thought about it, and it made sense.

"Then for the first cut, can you cut off Hu Laoer's tongue? Our whole family doesn't want to hear any words slandering my second sister from anyone's mouth."

"A small matter." Chen Guanlou agreed decisively; at worst, he would have the Medical Official Mu assist from the side to stop the bleeding in time. The tongue has rich blood vessels, so to ensure three thousand cuts, he couldn't let Hu Laoer lose too much blood.

"There is one more request!" The eldest Master Yang himself felt a bit embarrassed, as he had quite a few requests.

Chen Guanlou was very patient and could well understand the feelings of the Yang family.

"Speak, I'm listening."

"Can the second cut be to cut off Hu Laoer's manhood?"

Oh my!

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice, "The situation is this: usually, that thing is left until halfway through. But since you request the second cut, it's not impossible. However, that thing needs to be cut at least fifty times."

"Can it be cut a hundred times!" The eldest Master Yang became instantly excited upon hearing fifty times, his cheeks even flushing. He had a sense of satisfaction that a great revenge was finally being avenged.

Chen Guanlou only said, "This matter depends on the executioner's skill. A hundred cuts cannot be guaranteed, but sixty or seventy cuts are definitely no problem."

"In any case, the more the better! If it can be cut a hundred times, I will give the executioner a big red envelope."

"Alright! No problem! I will convey your request to the executioner, and if there's no problem, you can give the red envelope in person on the day of the execution."

"Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, thank you so much."

The eldest Master Yang looked incredibly grateful. The second sister's revenge could finally be avenged!

He was so excited that his eyes filled with tears, and unable to control his emotions, he cried on the spot. It was clear that the siblings had a very deep bond, which was why he was so moved.

Chen Guanlou patted the other person's shoulder, saying nothing, offering only silent comfort.

The person responsible for the slicing this time was naturally Wang Youfu; three thousand cuts is not a small job.

Moreover, the aggrieved party had extra requirements—a hundred cuts for the manhood, with a red envelope.

For the sake of the red envelope, Wang Youfu agreed immediately; although there were some difficulties, they weren't major issues.

The key was Hu Laoer's body.

He quietly asked Chen Guanlou for instructions, "My lord, Hu Laoer has been in the torture room for a few days, and his condition isn't very good. I think, why don't we throw him into the cell to recuperate first. When the execution takes place, it's best to have the Medical Official Mu assist on-site, and if necessary, we might need ginseng to keep him alive. I'm worried he won't be able to hold out for three thousand cuts."

"You must keep him alive to endure three thousand cuts. If you have any needs, submit a report, and I will have the Medical Official Mu prepare them for you. In short, this time is both an act of justice and a test of your skill. Hu Laoer's crimes are unforgivable; he must be made to feel the pain of being sliced while clear-headed!"
