Chapter 804: Be Scared First
"Take this king there."
Shen Changgong stood up and walked outside.
The two county magistrates hurried ahead to lead the way.
Just as Fairy Meiyan was walking towards him, Shen Changgong asked,
"What have you been doing?"
Fairy Meiyan said,
"I went with Tu Que Ling to help settle those women. Those women were so pitiful. They were abused to the point that they had lost all their humanity.
What a beast! I really want to chop all those Japanese pirates into pieces."
"Okay, let's go and beat them up yourself."
"go!"
Fairy Meiyan became interested when she mentioned this.
They came to the dungeon. There was candlelight in the dark dungeon, and there were many prisoners imprisoned there.
"Sir! Sir! Give me something to eat."
"Where have you been these past two days? Why haven't you delivered meals for two days?"
"We are prisoners, but our crimes don't deserve the death penalty. You can't starve us to death."
The prisoners' eyes were glowing green with hunger.
They were already hungry, and suddenly had no food for two days, and they almost starved to death.
The crowd didn't even look at them and walked straight inside.
The county magistrate's guards were actually some yamen runners and security forces who had managed to escape and have now returned to their original jobs.
Several Japanese pirates were locked up in a large cell and tied to a rack. The yamen runners were whipping them.
"Tell me now! Will you tell me? If you don't, I'll kill you!"
"I have plenty of ways to make you talk: red-hot irons, tiger benches, pepper spray, pinching fingers, piercing nails with needles. I'll kill you with all the pain!"
"Don't tell me!"
Shen Changgong stopped the yamen runners who were beating the Japanese pirates and asked curiously,
"What are you interrogating them about? They haven't said a word yet."
"Your Highness, we didn't ask any questions. We simply wanted to fight them. It's just that this way of fighting makes it more impressive."
Shen Changgong: ???
Okay, okay, it’s an occupational disease, right?
He waved his hand and asked the pirates,
"Who can speak Central Plains Mandarin?"
The Japanese pirates glared at Shen Changgong.
"Those who can speak Central Plains Mandarin will be spared. The rest will be skinned and their tendons removed, then hung on the city walls for three days to be sun-dried to death."
After he asked, none of the Japanese pirates said a word and they all glared at him.
"They are all hard bones. Well, start skinning them."
The bailiffs stepped forward immediately.
Shen Changgong's eyes were always on these Japanese pirates.
Among them, the six Japanese pirates all looked confused and ferocious.
One of the Japanese pirates showed fear on his face and raised his head to say something. The other Japanese pirate glared at him fiercely, and the threat in his eyes was self-evident.
Seeing this situation, Shen Changgong also understood that these two people could speak the Central Plains Mandarin.
"Put these two down!"
"As ordered!"
The bailiffs quickly let the two pirates down. They were shackled and kneeling on the ground.
"Skin those six men and let these two watch."
"Yes!"
Shen Changgong did not interrogate these two people, but made them watch their companions being skinned with their own eyes to scare them.
Of the two Japanese pirates, the one who originally wanted to speak was timid and lowered his head, not daring to look.
The one with the glaring eyes was very brave and cursed at Shen Changgong,
"You! You're dead! You have a terrible conscience! Bakayaloo! If you have the guts, come and fight me to the death!"
Shen Changgong looked at him and sneered,
"Why? Weren't you the one who was kicked over by me today? The wound on your arm was caused by me."
"Your victory was unfair. If you have the guts, fight me again."
“Even if I give you ten thousand chances, you still can’t defeat me.
Tell me your name."
The Japanese pirate laughed grimly and said,
"You have to find me a pretty girl to work for, and I'll tell you!"
Shen Changgong sneered and said to the Fairy Meiyan behind him,
"Mei Yan, let this guy see how powerful our Dayan girls are."
"I've been waiting for your words!"
Fairy Meiyan instantly switched to violent mode, kicked the Japanese pirate in the face, and then picked up a red branding iron next to her and smashed it hard on the Japanese pirate.
Bang bang bang! Dang dang dang!
The screams of being beaten and the roars of being skinned came one after another.
The timid Japanese pirate next to him was frightened and trembled.
Shen Changgong pulled up Fairy Meiyan and said,
"Okay, today's business is over, let's go back to bed."
Fairy Meiyan was surprised.
"Don't ask anymore?"
Shen Changgong didn't say anything and pulled her out.
When they reached the ground, the Southern King said,
"You want to let these two pirates watch you skin them all night to completely break their rebellious spirit and tame them, right?"
"That's right. There are two Japanese pirates who can speak both Japanese and Mandarin. They are very important. Whether it's arresting people, interrogating them, or leading the way in the future, they are very useful.
First, I will give them a big stick to break their faith in resistance, and then I will give them sweet dates to completely tame them and make them work for me."
Fairy Meiyan then widened her eyes and said,
"So you have it all planned out. It's true. These people can't make it in their homeland, so they come here to rob and become pirates. If we give them a prosperous life, they will definitely return to us completely.
But before that, we have to make them fear us from the bottom of their hearts.”
Shen Changgong tapped Meiyan on the forehead and said with a smile,
"Silly goose!"
"oops."
Fairy Meiyan exclaimed and rolled her eyes at him.
They returned to the front yard, ate, and then went back to bed.
……
The next morning.
Shen Changgong and others all got up. The army lived in the houses of the people, but the people had not returned yet.
The army is about to set out today, so it won’t be considered as harassing the people.
After dinner, Shen Changgong asked someone to bring out the two Japanese pirates.
After a night of exhaustion, the two Japanese pirates had dull eyes, were trembling all over, and looked around in fear, screaming and squeaking at the slightest movement.
Seeing this, Shen Changgong sneered,
"You are all people who have massacred tens of thousands of people. You are the ones who kill without blinking an eye. Stop pretending and cheer up. I have something to ask you."
The two pirates kowtowed and said,
"Have mercy, have mercy, give us a quick death!"
"This king asks, you answer, what is your name."
The timid Japanese pirate said quickly,
"My name is Kameda Taro, and he calls me Sunzi Taiken. We are both samurai from Kansai. We were defeated by the people from Kanto and became ronin out of necessity.
We are good citizens, good citizens."
"Yoshi."
Shen Changgong responded involuntarily.
Fairy Meiyan was surprised.
"You also speak Japanese?"
"That's all I know. Oh, and there's also a 'ba ge ya lu'."
"cut."
Kameda Taro said quickly,
"Your Highness's Japanese is very good."
"I'm asking you, where are the other Japanese pirates?"
"They're heading south to plunder. We're left here to watch. When the fleet arrives, we'll deliver the gold and silver to the ship and then send the fleet south."
"Where is your fleet, and where is the looted gold and silver?"
