The pot of water was poured on Murong Yu's face, and Murong Yu suddenly shuddered and finally woke up. There was no blood on his face at this moment, as if he had lost too much blood.

Before he could see clearly where he was, he suddenly felt a severe pain everywhere in his body.

Then he found that his body was locked in iron chains. Before he could make a sound of horror, he felt pain in his shoulders again. The pain made his facial features start to become distorted.

Murong Yu thought to himself, "It seems that his injuries are probably not very serious. In the future, we must not be as strong as we are today. We must heal as soon as possible." He wanted to reach out to seal several large acupoints on his body to stop the pain on his body, but found that he could not use any strength at all.

Even though he tried to arouse the true energy in his body, he found that the true energy in his body seemed to be like a stone sinking into the sea, without any slight turmoil, and was very calm.

In a hurry, Murong Yu struggled hard again, but this struggle was useless and had no effect at all.

However, what followed was not the result he wanted, but the sound of a gentle impact of an iron tool coming into his ears.

Murong Yu lowered his head and saw two iron chains hanging straight from his shoulders. He didn't believe what his eyes saw, and he was so scared that his whole body trembled.

It didn't matter that the tremor was the pain on his shoulders, and the pain almost burst into tears.

It turned out that these two iron chains passed through the pipa bone of his shoulder blade, locked tightly on his wrist, and even connected his arms tightly and hung them on the walls on both sides. It seemed to be able to move, but in fact he could not make too much movement. Once he made some struggle, the indescribable pain followed.

He also locked iron chains of the same size on his legs. The iron chains were locked on his ankles, connecting his two ankles, one in front and one behind on the wall, which was even more impossible for him to make large moves.

The chain is not very thick or thin, it is as thick as a thumb. If you want to cut it off, it is probably only a magic weapon and sharp blade that can be done.

Just then, a voice came, "You don't have to waste your time. Your pipa bone is now locked by iron chains. No matter if you have great martial arts, you are even worse than a useless person at the moment. Even if you want to escape, you can't escape. I advise you to struggle less, so as not to suffer more unfairness."

Only then did Murong Yu notice that Liu Qing was standing in front of him. He was not panicked or afraid at all. He said calmly, "What do you want?" Since it was a foregone conclusion, Murong Yu directly expressed his thoughts.

"You boy is calm, you are not surprised. Why did I lock you in this death row and wear your pipa bone? You are not surprised?" Liu Qing said with interest.

Murong Yu endured the pain on his body and said slightly, "There is nothing to say. Since you didn't get rid of me immediately, I'm afraid you still have some concerns in your heart. As for what you are concerned, you know better than me. Otherwise, Duan Ran, the person behind you, would not have been busy piercing my pipa bone at this time and save my life." Then he said, "I guess you have any crimes that need to be pressed on me." As he spoke, Murong Yu couldn't help but tremble between the upper and lower jaws, and his voice was even more weird.

Liu Qing laughed and said, "I am a smart person. You have already understood before I can tell you. It is convenient to talk to smart people." Then, he pondered and said, "I have a crime letter here. All the records are about you, how to murder dozens of lives in the City God Temple. You only need to sign and write on this piece of paper. I promise that in the future, I will serve you with delicious food and drink, otherwise..." His tone changed slightly, and the implication was even more threatening.

Murong Yu moaned and continued, "What else? I want to hear what the adults say, and I am still planning to deal with disobedient people? I wonder if the adults can tell me?"

Liu Qing did not answer him directly, "You might as well tell you that there are many torture instruments in this prison. Once all the generals are sent down, even if you are not dead, you will be in danger." Then he said, "As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and those who change the situation are heroes. I think you are weak and don't look like someone who can withstand punishment. I advise you to sign the crime honestly to avoid suffering."

Murong Yu pretended to be ignorant and said bitterly, "I am stupid, I don't know what sin I want me to confess? Please tell me clearly."

Liu Qing said seriously, "You cruelly killed dozens of lives in the Chenghuang Temple in the north of the city. Do you admit your guilt?" His voice was very serious.

"I dare to ask you, and I keep saying that dozens of lives in the City God Temple are done by the people, but there is evidence to determine that it was my work? If there is no evidence, I dare to ask what I am guilty of." Murong Yu mocked, "If it were an adult, would he be willing to suffer such a vain injustice?"

"Whether you are wronged or not is not the final decision of my official. It is naturally a pledge. I have no obligation to talk nonsense to you here." Liu Qing said unhappily, "I will just ask you whether you sign or not for this crime."

Murong Yu said weakly, "If it were an adult, would he be willing to sign?"

"Okay, very good." Liu Qing smiled, "It seems that you are unwilling to submit easily, and this is forcing me to make a decision." Then he sighed, "Since that's the case, I won't blame me. Come on, play the mouse zither and impose the punishment of playing the mouse zither."

As soon as the words fell, the yamen runner was given torture instruments on Murong Yu.

Murong Yu was not afraid. He closed his eyes and stopped talking. He knew very well that at this point, since he could not accept this false charge, he had no choice but to take it.

The so-called "rat playing the zither" was originally a kind of torture passed down during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods.

This criminal law tied the fingers and toes of the inmates with a thin rope, and then tapped the tightly tight rope with a wooden stick, making it "bang" sound. Although it did not bleed, it caused the inmate to die.

This punishment is very similar to a stick, but it is especially good. The prisoners were tortured by the "rat playing the zither" and called out loud, but they wanted to die quickly. When the rope was untied, the prisoners could not return to their original position.

This kind of criminal law was explicitly banned by the government because of its cruelty as early as the reign of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, which shows how terrifying it is.

Once the torture instrument was used, the pain was imagined, but Murong Yu could not struggle. He did not let out a wail, nor did he say anything.

Liu Qing looked at Murong Yu who was holding back and said, "I advise you not to endure it anymore. The longer the pain is, the more people feel that life is worse than death. As long as you are willing to sign and seal this crime, I promise to remove this criminal law immediately."

Murong Yu was still unmoved when he heard this. He gritted his teeth tightly and endured the pain all over his body. Even if he bit his lips and bleeding, he had no intention of begging for mercy.
