Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Liu Rusi knew that Chu Shiyu had a somewhat cold personality...

After getting to know her, I was gradually influenced by her, but I only adjusted my behavior according to her preferences, and my sense of morality was still weak...

But when his cold side appeared before her, it still exceeded her imagination!

Hundreds, even tens of thousands of people! Can they be tortured and killed at will just because of her needs?

At this moment, Chu Shiyu was just a little worried about her reaction, while the mine owners, supervisors, and soldiers around him all looked unperturbed...

Liu Rusi was speechless for a moment, but she couldn't help but wonder if she was too saintly? Or was her thinking from a modern civilized and peaceful country not suitable for this era?

"Doctors are supposed to save lives and heal the wounded, how can they cut people first and then treat them?!"

Li Chunfu started to curse, and unlike his usual contemptuous behavior, he cursed at Chu Shiyu with a solemn expression: "I didn't expect you to be such a cruel and inhumane person?!"

Chu Shiyu had already sensed that the attitudes of Liu Rusi and the doctors were different from what he had expected, so he remained silent for a while to avoid an argument.

However, when the soldiers guarding the prisoners of war nearby heard the general being scolded, they immediately showed anger on their faces!

A deputy general standing nearby stepped forward and said in a muffled voice, "You are unreasonable! If the general had not been merciful, he would have killed them all long ago! How could we have to feed them every day like now?"

"Killing them directly is more efficient and quicker. Injuring them while they are still alive, isn't that torture?" another famous doctor argued.

"What kind of torture is this? We are much more lenient than those barbarians! I heard from my father that when they captured prisoners in the past, they would eat them as rations!" The deputy general retorted disdainfully.

The soldiers nearby all responded. Many of them were military households stationed at the border. Their hatred for the northern barbarians was passed down from generation to generation. Even those who were recruited from the interior had witnessed the tragic scenes of the barbarians looting villages and towns at the border.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the prisoners shivering in the cold wind...

The prisoners of war probably couldn't understand the Daxia official language. They just had confused and patient expressions on their faces. Some of them had bloodstains on their bodies from being whipped, but they didn't have much resentment or hatred... In their view, becoming a prisoner of war and being whipped was not a strange thing.

Almost all the prisoners had unkempt hair, some with braids and hair ornaments; most had wheat-colored skin, a few were fairer; their facial features ranged from narrow eyes and round faces to deep square faces; they were generally tall and strong, but there were also short and thin ones...

Looking closely, these prisoners of war are all different from each other, but overall, a little identification will reveal the racial differences from the people of Daxia Central Plains...

A famous doctor showed understanding on his face, looked at Li Chunfu and another person who were angry and opposed, and persuaded them: "These are all foreign barbarians. Maybe some of them have killed and looted the people of Daxia. Why should we show mercy to them?"

"Yes! And we don't intend to torture or kill you. We just want to try out those methods of healing. We will provide immediate rescue after the injury!" Another doctor stood up and supported the action.

"This... harming an intact living person... I can't do it..." A famous doctor said in a low voice. He agreed with the idea, but he couldn't bear to do it.

The deputy general was close by and heard what was happening. He immediately said, "Tell us where you want to treat the wound and we will cut it off! We guarantee that we will cut it off wherever you point us!"

Li Chunfu's eyes widened in disbelief! He angrily rebuked: "How is this different from trying to cover one's ears and steal a bell? Isn't it against the will of heaven and earth to use someone else's hands?!"

"What's so evil?!"

A soldier suddenly shouted angrily, "Since they dare to fight, they must be prepared for death and injury!"

The deputy general also said angrily: "In the three battles we fought in the northwest last month, even with the general's resourcefulness, nearly a hundred people died! Hundreds of people were disabled and retired! Who hasn't been beaten by swords and guns?!"

"That's right! What's wrong with killing them? Who dares to say that we are harming the world?"

Faced with the indignant soldiers, even Li Chunfu was unable to speak for a moment. People are divided into distant and distant relatives, let alone these soldiers who have shed blood for their country!

Amidst the noise...

Chu Shiyu raised one hand and signaled for silence. Within a few breaths, all the soldiers fell silent!

After a moment of silence, Chu Shiyu continued to observe Liu Rusi's expression. The woman frowned slightly, but it was hard to tell whether she supported or opposed...

Liu Rusi hesitated for a long time before asking, "Why do you... think I would accept this arrangement?"

Chu Shiyu thought for a moment and sorted out his subconscious judgment: "Before in Jinyan City, I ordered the killing of more than a thousand bandits and cut off the fingers of nearly two thousand people... You should know this, right?"

Nodding slightly, she stated, "They raped, robbed, and committed all kinds of evil, and I just felt happy."

"There are quite a few people like this among them, so..." Chu Shiyu explained softly.

Hearing this, Liu Rusi suddenly realized... She hadn't said anything just now because she found that she wasn't that righteous...

There was a voice in her heart saying that these people were foreign prisoners of war, not civilians. Perhaps they had done a lot of bad things for which they deserved the punishment... War was cruel, and the opportunity for live experiments was rare. If she could seize the opportunity, the medical development of Daxia would surely have a qualitative leap... Did she really want to use modern thinking to decide things in the feudal era?

Still wavering in her heart, she looked at Chu Shiyu and asked, "If we hadn't come to the northwest, how would we deal with these prisoners of war?"

Chu Shiyu said truthfully: "It depends on the situation on the grassland. Generally speaking, they will do hard labor until after the war. If the Wala pays enough ransom, they will be released."

"What if there is no ransom?"

Chu Shiyu paused. He probably felt that she was reluctant, but after the war, the issue of prisoners would usually be decided by his father, and his father would not be much more merciful than him, and he would not be able to hide it from her at that time...

Finally, he spoke softly and bluntly, "If they are docile, they will be subjected to hard labor until they die. If they make any unusual movements, they will be killed. If there is a disaster year and there is not enough food to supply them, they will be killed."

It was indeed a cruel reality. Liu Rusi knew her own limitations... She was a complete novice when it came to war, and she shouldn't have interfered with Chu Shiyu's war plans...

So, it is impossible to release them unconditionally, right? Either they die, or they are squeezed to death while alive...

So, using it for experimentation is… understandable?

Liu Rusi looked at her master Li Chunfu hesitantly...

"Master, we have come all the way here...why don't we pick a few...to do some minor surgeries that are not likely to be fatal?"

"You really considered it?!" Li Chunfu was even more incredulous!

"Small evils accumulate to become big evils! Now you can agree to perform a minor surgery on the prisoners of war because you don't want to come here in vain! Will there be more serious reasons in the future that will prompt you to peel the skin and pull out the tendons of innocent people?!"

"Where is the oath you swore not long ago? You even explained the meaning of humanity! Have you forgotten it now that the moment has come?"

Li Chunfu cursed and scolded: "If you agree to do this evil thing, I will sever all ties with you from now on!"

Liu Rusi suddenly woke up as if she was hit on the head!

She was actually weighing it! Because she wanted to achieve something quickly, she almost touched the edge of the devil!
