Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Chapter 810 Despicable?

Following Jia Yu's suggestion, Chu Ning used a little trick to lure out the murderer.

Taking advantage of the emperor's request for him to find the murderer within half a month, he specially arranged this drama for the painter.

Kyoto City is so huge that it would take a long time to search its entirety. It would be impossible to find the murderer in half a month.

So, that day Jia Yu suggested to Chu Ning: lure the snake out of its hole.

It was just right that they rescued Mo Yingying. The presence of this girl would definitely make the murderer uneasy.

If they announce to the public that Mo Yingying has seen the murderer's appearance, it will definitely make the other party want to kill her.

However, the palace was heavily guarded, and the murderer certainly did not dare to come here to commit the crime.

Therefore, they had to give the murderer a legitimate reason to enter the palace.

Find a painter to draw a portrait of the murderer, then let Mo Yingying pretend to be sick and leave the painter in the palace. This series of actions are just to allow the other party to go to the palace and take action!

Now, under the dragnet, five murderers have been caught.

The palace guards tied up the five people and dragged them to the living room.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the faces of the five people, making them appear grey and dull.

After being captured, the five people knew they would not survive, and they couldn't help feeling scared and nervous.

Chu Ning sat in the main seat, and with the help of the candlelight in the room, he could see the faces of the five people clearly, and couldn't help but sneer:

"Are you satisfied with the show that I have arranged for you?"

The leader snorted coldly: "Despicable means, we will not accept it!"

"Despicable means?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across his face: "You have so many people surrounding and killing Mo Yushan, so it's not despicable?"

"Why, you are allowed to be despicable, but I am not allowed to use some tricks to take you down?"

When it comes to talking skills, Chu Ning is not afraid of anyone, especially when the other party is just a small fry.

The man was immediately speechless and could only turn away with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Seeing this man's attitude, Chu Ning couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that you are not going to reveal the mastermind behind this.

It doesn't matter. I have many tricks waiting for you. Come on, give them a light attack first."

As soon as he finished speaking, before the five men could react, they were dragged away by the ferocious palace guards.

Afterwards, a rope was tied around each person's body and thrown over the beams to hang them up.

Ran Ming personally picked up the leader and laughed, "This is a punishment that His Highness personally came up with, and it's just right for me to use on you guys!"

"put!"

At a command, the other guards immediately lowered the rope, just enough to place the five men's toes on the ground.

The five men were about to retract their feet when several other palace guards rushed over to hold them back and put sandbags on their feet.

"Ah~"

Five people screamed at the same time!

The weight of the sandbags pulled their feet down continuously, but only their toes could touch the ground, which made all their weight concentrated on their toes.

After the scream, Chu Ning stretched out his hand to signal, and Ran Ming and others pulled the rope to pull the five people up.

But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Chu Ning let go again, leaving the five men behind again.

Then, the screams rang out again.

This time, Chu Ning did not let Ran Ming and others pull up the rope, but asked the five of them to continue supporting themselves on their toes.

In this way, the ropes above kept pulling them up, and the sandbags below kept pulling them down.

The force of tearing each other apart made the five of them scream in pain!

"You... you dare to torture yourself. Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"

After just a moment, the leader couldn't help but shout.

"Punishment?"

Chu Ning chuckled: "Don't you know that my father asked me to investigate this matter? Since he wants me to find the murderer, my father will not care what means I use!

As far as my father is concerned, all I have to do is find the murderer!

Now, you still have a chance to leave your body intact. Just tell me who is behind this and I will give you a quick death.

If not, I will torture you using all sorts of means first, and then execute you by slow slicing!

By then, your mission will fail, and the person behind you will surely not collect your bodies, and your fate will be to be eaten by wild dogs!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the five people's faces changed drastically with fear.

They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of being tortured to death, and they are also afraid that they will have no place to stay after death.

For a moment, the five people looked at each other, with a flash of horror in their eyes.

They are not fools, they all understand that they can definitely do what Chu Ning said.

They were terrified at the thought of being eaten by wild dogs.

Even the leader could only say in a timid tone: "How dare you! Do you think His Majesty will tolerate you for being so bold and reckless?"

"Shut up!"

Ran Ming's eyes widened and he slapped him: "Your Majesty on the left and Your Majesty on the right, do you really think His Majesty would care about someone like you?"

The leader was hit so hard that he became dizzy, saw stars, and his face was crooked!

But this slap did wake this person up.

Yes, he was just a killer. Even if Chu Ning cut him into pieces, would the emperor still punish Chu Ning for his private torture?

The emperor's goal was to find the murderer, and he was the murderer.

Chu Ning can punish him however he wants!

Thinking of this, the man endured the pain in his body and stared at Chu Ning: "If we tell the truth, can you give us a way to live?"

Chu Ning shook his head: "No, you killed Mo Yushan, even if you were just following orders, you have committed a serious crime, you must die!

However, I can decide to leave your bodies intact, and I can also protect the lives of your entire family."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

The killers wanted to use this as a condition in exchange for his life, but they didn't expect Chu Ning to refuse.

"Aren't you afraid that we won't say anything?" The leading man was unwilling to accept this. He still wanted to survive and tried hard to fight for himself.

But Chu Ning smiled contemptuously: "You have been captured by this king. It is not difficult to find out your identities, isn't it?

If you reveal the mastermind behind this, it will only shorten my time, that's all.

If you want to negotiate with me on this basis, you are not qualified.

Now, there are only two choices before you. Either you fight to the end, or I will torture you to death and throw you out of the city to feed the dogs.

Either you tell me who is behind this now, and I will give you a quick death and ensure that your whole family leaves Kyoto City!

I will give you ten breaths to consider, and I will not wait any longer than that!"

After saying that, Chu Ning slowly stood up: "One!"

The five killers' faces suddenly turned ugly.

"two!"

The five people looked at each other again.

"three!"

The four of them looked anxious, but the leader was still in deep thought.

"Four!"

"Boss, stop thinking about it and just tell me!" someone couldn't help but shout.

"five!"

"Yeah, since we're all going to die, we might as well save our whole family!"
