The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 608

Jin Meng sat on the official hat chair, took a sip of warm tea, and looked at Yu Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground and tied up like a wild dog. There was no mercy in his sharp eyes.

"Originally, I don't want to waste time talking to you, you little slave, I'll just kill you..." As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Cheng felt cold sweat on his back.

I’m afraid I won’t survive today!

The general is not an ordinary person. He is decisive and cold-blooded. If he had a little bit of human affection, there wouldn't be the difficulty that this young girl is facing now as she struggles alone to get married.

His eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.

Unexpectedly, the general said, "Before you die, I want to ask you a question. If you tell me the truth, I will give you three hundred taels of silver, and you can leave Liyang to find a wife and have children. Your future and past will no longer have anything to do with you. How about that?"

Yu Cheng's face lit up when he heard this.

After just a moment, he lowered his eyes, and the joy that had returned to him instantly disappeared from his face.

say what?

He was the main person who handled what the young lady did in the past. Did he betray her? Yu Cheng was filled with grief and felt that he had no way out.

"The eldest son of the He family was poisoned, but was it you who did it?"

Yu Cheng lowered his head and curled up, but did not speak.

The two guards nearby saw the general pursed his lips, stepped forward and started beating Yu Cheng up with fists, making him groan.

"Speak now, and suffer less. You have lost one eye, and you cannot lose the other."

Yu Cheng's hands were tied and he had no ability to stand up. Half of his face was rubbed on the ground, and his skin was scratched and bleeding.

"General, Young Master He was weak and died of his own illness. I did not do anything to him."

"You are quite loyal to Fuyun."

Jin Meng smiled faintly, his skin did not move, but his eyes were fierce, "You don't have to make up for her in this matter. I know that you, the master and the servant, conspired to scheme against the doctor. He Dalang is the son of my old friend. It is said that he is the most suitable husband for Fuyun. You, the master and the servant... are really bold."

"General, someone must have framed her. The young lady treated the eldest son of the He family with great respect, so how could she harm him..."

"Well, if you don't want to say anything, I won't waste my words on you. Come, take him away and give him a caning."

"Yes, General!"

The two men carried Yu Cheng, whose face was swollen like a pig, out of the room again as if they were catching a chicken. Soon, Yu Cheng's screams like a pig being slaughtered were heard in the yard.

"Oh! I actually forgot to stuff a cloth ball in there. Manager Yu's scream is really unpleasant." After saying that, he searched around and grabbed the waistband of Yu Cheng's pants from the ground, rolled it up, pried open Yu Cheng's tightly closed lips and tongue with a dagger, and stuffed the cloth in.

Yu Cheng was in terribly pain.

But compared to the whipping I received, this didn't seem that painful.

The whip was reluctant to be used hard when it was used to hit Ma, but now it was dipped in cold water and whipped directly on his naked body. With a snap, it really hit his bones and marrow, causing Yu Cheng to sweat profusely and groan in pain.

After being whipped about thirty times, Yu Cheng fainted twice and was awakened both times by another strong man who fetched well water and poured it over him from head to toe.

He dragged Yu Cheng, who was in trouble, inside again. This time he almost lost half his life.

The general's steady voice came from the human world again, "If you don't want to talk about He Dalang, then tell us the truth about Fuyun sending you to murder Pei Song. Tell us clearly from beginning to end!"

Yu Cheng collapsed in a puddle of mud, with no desire to live in his eyes anymore.

Hearing the general's words, he used up all his strength and said slowly, "The young lady never meant to harm anyone. It was because I coveted Song's beauty that I had evil intentions."

"You are truly loyal."

Jin Meng walked up to Yu Cheng, squatted down, grabbed Yu Cheng's hair, and lifted his head up. "But, loyalty can't save her. She got into a big trouble. If you want to do good for her, you should be honest. Otherwise, I, as a father, can't save her."

Yu Cheng's eyes were unfocused, and he slowly uttered three words, "It's me."

In the next two days, Yu Cheng was subjected to all kinds of tortures, which were used by the army to investigate thieves and spies. Even Jin Meng, who was knowledgeable and experienced, looked at Yu Cheng differently.

"What a pity. If you had known about this ability earlier and joined me, you would have been a centurion or a captain of a thousand men by now."

The sturdy man touched his nose and smiled, "General, Manager Yu is really a man of steel. I really told him everything, but he refused to say a word."

Always loyal.

“Is there a time when you can’t hold on?”

The sturdy man nodded, "Of course, he also shouted that he wanted to die, but every time he wanted to commit suicide, my two brothers stopped him. During that time, we also fed him a lot of porridge and vegetables, fearing that he couldn't bear it."

"Not a word?"

The sturdy man shook his head. "General, he firmly refused to admit that the eldest girl was the mastermind. He denied the murder of He's eldest son. He also insisted that he murdered Song, the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, because she was attracted by his beauty and refused to obey him."

"What about other things? What about the death of Qingmei Garden's madam, Zhu San, and the head maidservant who served her?"

The sturdy man shook his head slowly.

"General, I, the steward, do not recognize anything."

When Jin Meng interrogated Yu Cheng again, his body was covered in blood, his hair was disheveled, his face was blue and gray, his legs and feet were broken, there was not a single piece of healthy skin on his back, and the scars from branding, burns, and washing with hot water had all festered.

The strong man threw him to the ground, and he was shaking with pain all over.

But when he saw that it was Jin Meng, he still managed to hold on and shouted, "General, the young lady is innocent."

When Jin Meng heard this, he closed his eyes slightly.

After a long moment, he sighed, "She is just an idiot. I don't understand why you protect her so much."

"General, the young lady is gentle and demure, and has no intention of harming anyone."

Yu Cheng tried hard to raise the corners of his lips with a hint of smile, his only remaining eye was swollen and purple, and full of bloodshot.

Jin Meng waved his hand when he heard this.

"Adan, give him a quick death, he is a real man!"

When Yu Cheng heard that his death was near, he did not struggle or show any fear. He tried hard to raise his head and open his eyes, and wanted to twist his body to salute Jin Meng, but no matter how hard he tried, it was unsuccessful.

Finally, he could only whisper, "Thank you for your kindness, General. Ah Cheng will say goodbye now."

Yu Cheng is dead.

Jin Fuyun knew nothing about this. She was still discussing with Qiao Wan how to sneak away, but Qiao Wan thought of Yu Cheng's explanation and finally stopped the impulsive girl.

"If you just want to see the master, the eldest lady can speak directly to the eldest master."

"Do you think I didn't say that? My brother just said that he would go to see Mr. Gu and told me not to worry." He sent her away with just a few words, leaving her helpless.

The business in Mangzhou has already been given to Jin Yunfan. She doesn't have much to use. She can't hand over all the business in Liyang, right?
