Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Jin Lier couldn't help but get very angry, thinking to herself, you are just a little warrior, if you didn't rely on the power of your master, the Golden Blade and the Black Sword, how dare you be so rude to me? !

But if these warriors really wanted to give up, it would be difficult for me and my followers to bring these slaves back to Jinyang City smoothly, even with Master Chang. Jinyang City was in urgent need of slaves, so what should I do?

She couldn't help but hesitate, and turned to the old man surnamed Chang and said, "Master Chang, what do you think we should do?"

The old man surnamed Chang bowed and said, "My young master, what Pang Shisan said makes some sense. The Jinyang City Law Code does have this provision, 'If anyone escapes privately, his tendons will be cut and he will be whipped fifty times'..."

Jin Lier thought to herself, you are such a fool. I just asked you to find an excuse for me to be lenient and to reassure the warriors. But you reiterated the law. Doesn't that make it even more difficult for me?

She could only nod and said, "Then do it this way. Cut the tendons of the man who dared to escape privately and whip him fifty times."

Chu Xiaomu was shocked, while Yang Dou and Huai Xiaomeng were so angry that they shouted, "This punishment is too unfair!"

Pang Shisan, however, seemed to have won a triumphant victory. He put the bronze helmet back on his head and ordered two of his men to go and capture Chu Xiaomu.

Jin Lier said, "But I spent twenty gold coins to buy this slave. If you cut his tendons, he will become a cripple. The twenty gold coins I spent on buying the slave will have to be deducted from your monthly salary."

Pang Shisan thought, "My monthly salary is only two gold and ten silver. If you deduct twenty gold from me, wouldn't my hard work for almost a year be in vain?" He was hesitant. He pushed a fat warrior and said, "Fei Cheng, you go!"

The warrior named 'Fei Cheng' was full of resistance and said, "My monthly salary is only one gold and fifteen silver coins, so how long will it be deducted? Your monthly salary is much higher, so it's more appropriate for you to go, Wutou."

Pang Shisan pushed a few more warriors, all of whom refused to execute the order because they did not want their salaries to be withheld. Some of them also knew the whole story and still had some sense of justice, and could not bear to hurt others, so they simply walked away and did not watch.

Chu Xiaomu thought that these warriors seemed to have a hierarchical relationship, but in fact they did not obey orders from their superiors. They looked majestic when bullying the unarmed weak, but if they met someone more ferocious than them, they would be just a group of rabble.

Jin Lier said, "How about this, I think there is no need to cut the tendons of your feet, and I will not deduct your monthly salary. I will lash this troublemaker slave with fifty lashes as a punishment."

Both sides made concessions and Pang Shisan no longer had any objections. He waved his hand and the two warriors behind him went to pull Chu Xiaomu angrily.

Yang Dou and Huai Xiaomeng stood in front of him and said, "If you want to hit me, hit me. I broke the bowl, it has nothing to do with him!"

Pang Shisan chuckled and said, "It seems that all three of you guys have a share. That's great. Each of you will be whipped fifty times. No one can escape!"

The old man surnamed Chang laughed and said, "It's rare that three people are breaking a bowl. These three people are very loyal and have some of the demeanor of the ancients. They are much better than some people in certain sects today."

Pang Shisan heard something hidden in his words, and it was obvious that he was supporting Jin Lier and tolerating these slaves. The "certain sect" naturally referred to the Jindao Sect where he was, and it was more like he was indirectly criticizing Jin Lier for having no sense of loyalty.

He was afraid of the old man's martial arts and did not dare to criticize him directly, but he still argued: "It was one person who broke the bowl, but these three guys are a group. It's not wrong that they conspired to escape privately?!" He cursed in his heart: "You old guy surnamed Chang, how dare you say bad things about us in the Golden Sword Sect? Wait until I go back and tell Master, and then you will be in trouble!"

Jin Lier said, "Fortunately, they didn't run away. Even if they wanted to escape, with someone as capable as you, Pang Wutou, there's no need to worry about not being able to catch them. It won't be too late to punish them all at once then."

Pang Shisan snorted and finally stopped talking.

Jin Lier pointed at Chu Xiaomu and said, "Are you the one who knelt down and begged me yesterday? Now you are pretending to be so tough. You are obviously not an honest person. You must be the one causing trouble!" She ordered the warriors to drag him out and beat him.

Yang Dou and Huai Xiaomeng wanted to argue, but Chu Xiaomu raised his eyebrows, glared at Yang and Huai, and said angrily: "Everyone is responsible for their own actions. I broke the bowl myself, what are you two doing?"

Jin Lier frowned and said, "If you two keep making trouble, I'll beat up all three of you!"

Xuan Youzhu advised in a low voice: "These fifty lashes are not pleasant, just hit one person. If the three of you are beaten and can't move, someone will die without anyone to take care of you. I have rough hands and feet, and I have never taken care of others..."

Chu Xiaomu used his shoulder to push Yang Huai and the other man away, and said loudly: "Just beat me now, I am willing to be punished."

Two warriors pulled Chu Xiaomu over and took off his outer shirt and fur coat, leaving him only in a thin shirt. They then found a large tree nearby and tied him to the tree, with his face facing inwards and his back facing outwards.

Pang Shisan shouted, "This kid dared to rebel, you must beat him hard!" Two warriors started whipping Chu Xiaomu with horsewhips.

After being beaten for more than ten times, blood began to seep out of Chu Xiaomu's back. When he was beaten for thirty or forty times, a blood mark appeared with each whip. His clothes were also torn into pieces, revealing his bloody skin.

But he suffered from excruciating pain and did not utter a word from beginning to end.

Pang Shisan shouted, "This kid is very tough, use more force on him!" He snatched the whip from one of them and started beating him hard.

After lashing out with fifty lashes, Jin Lier frowned and said, "That's enough! Don't beat me to death!"

Pang Shisan seemed to be unsatisfied and said, "Is that enough? Why do I feel like it needs a few more whips?" After saying that, he whipped him twice more.

Yang Dou shouted, "Are you being unreasonable? We agreed to only give you fifty lashes, why are you giving me more?"

Pang Shisan pointed at Yang Dou with the whip in his hand and said, "Why, do you want to be whipped fifty times by me too?"

Jin Lier said angrily: "Pang Shisan, are you done yet? Beating people to death will not benefit anyone!"

Pang Shisan bowed slightly to her, turned around and still pointed at Yang Dou, saying: "You guys are in the same group, I will keep a close eye on you, don't try to play any tricks in front of me!"

Chu Xiaomu felt a sharp pain in his back, like a knife cutting or burning. He almost fainted from the pain. There were no herbs to relieve the pain, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Jin Lier signaled her two followers to carry him back to the cage cart, and said loudly to all the slaves: "You all have seen, this is the end of troublemakers. If there is another one, once discovered, they will be severely punished!" After that, she went straight back to her tent.

All the slaves were afraid that this group of people would vent their anger on themselves for no reason, so they were all silent and dared not make a sound. Even those slaves who had been crying and begging for mercy before were now too frightened to make a sound.
