The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 337 - 247: What’s the Difference from Boiling Someone Alive?
Jun Ning grabbed a person and nervously asked, "The person kneeling at the door of the Second Master, what is their name? Quick, tell me, quick!"
The person caught by Jun Ning was eager to watch the commotion and had no time to talk, he broke free from Jun Ning’s grip and walked away without saying a word to her.
Jun Ning was frantic, clutching at straws, she caught another person and inquired, "Tell me, the one begging the Second Master to lift the curse, what’s their name?"
Fearful that the person might be who she suspected, Jun Ning’s voice trembled severely with the question, and her fear was clearly written on her face.
Since becoming Emperor Yongning’s eighteenth daughter, she had rarely felt such fear.
Unawares, she seemed to have regarded Ye Ying as someone very important.
This time, the person Jun Ning grabbed initially wanted to respond out of goodwill, but stopped seeing Jun Ning’s unfamiliar face, realizing she wasn’t from their village.
The person knew better than to reveal village secrets to outsiders and broke free from Jun Ning again.
Feeling lost and desperate, Jun Ning grabbed yet another person, only to be directly pushed to the ground.
That person pointed at her nose and cursed, "Where did this dirty whore come from? Dare to grab me? Do you know who I am? I’m the Second Master’s most trusted person in Black Water Village, and you think you can grab me? Watch me beat you to death!"
Claiming to be the Second Master’s most trusted individual, he angrily approached Jun Ning who he had pushed to the ground, extending a foot to step on her.
Jun Ning quickly dodged, and as the man’s foot struck again, she seized the opportunity to grab his leg, pulling forcefully and toppling him over.
Unexpectedly, the man fell and did the splits.
He felt a painful injury at the root of his leg, it hurt so much!
After crying out for a while and the pain lessened, he stood up again, drew the knife from his waist, and rushed toward Jun Ning to strike her.
But just as he reached Jun Ning and was about to swing the knife, a suddenly appeared hand grabbed his arm, halting his actions.
"Who dares to stop me?"
The man was furious.
Yet, as he turned to see the person holding his arm, he hastily withdrew the knife in fright, fell to his knees, and kowtowed several times to the person.
His kowtowing was intense and earnest, his head banging on the ground with each knock, even making a pit in the ground. His forehead turned red with blood.
But as long as that person didn’t say stop, he dared not cease, continuing to kowtow.
Jun Ning looked toward the newcomer.
Only to see someone dressed in a pure white fitted long robe, distinct from the burly bandits of the village, with a gentle demeanor; even as he stopped the person displeasing him, there remained a touch of warmth in his brow without a trace of anger.
This person was none other than the Black Water Village’s chief whom Jun Ning had met last night.
"Chief, you’ve come!"
"Hmm!" The chief helped Jun Ning off the ground and brushed the dust from her clothes, asking with concern, "Girl, did you fall painfully? Where does it hurt? Tell me quickly, I’ll find a doctor for you?"
"Chief, I’m not hurt at all." Jun Ning said, "Can you take me to have a look ahead? My brother seems to be at the Second Master’s place ahead."
The chief patted Jun Ning’s shoulder, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll take you over now!"
"Alright!"
The chief led Jun Ning through the crowd eager for the spectacle, heading forward. Meanwhile, the person who had relied on the Second Master’s authority to push Jun Ning down, seeing the chief had gone, still dared not cease kowtowing.
He continued to kowtow until he passed out, finally settling down.
The chief’s residence was somewhat far from the Second Master’s, walking all the way took quite a bit of time. The chief, noticing Jun Ning’s concern, grabbed a passerby.
"What is the Second Master doing up ahead?" he inquired.
The person grabbed, seeing it was the chief asking, quickly greeted and saluted before saying, "The Second Master is punishing someone, quite intensely."
"What is the name of the person being punished?" Jun Ning asked urgently.
The person hesitated, glancing at the chief; seeing no hint of disapproval, he finally responded.
"Seems to be called... Ye... Ye Ying..."
Upon hearing the answer, Jun Ning disregarded staying put and hastened her pace forward, the chief promptly followed.
The person who answered eagerly pursued the chief, saying, "Chief, you have previously strictly prohibited anyone in our village from using torture, yet the Second Master disregards your words and again uses torture!"
"What kind of torture is he using this time?" The chief’s face tightened.
"He’s making someone bathe in boiling water!" The person said with a sigh, "How is this a bath? It’s clearly trying to cook someone alive. This person isn’t a pig, a dog, or any poultry, how could they be boiled?"
Previously, Black Water Village has incidents of boiling people.
But, ever since the chief took over as the village leader, he has firmly prohibited it.
Such acts are indeed excessively cruel and detrimental when done too much. If it happens to someone not extraordinarily guilty or an untouchable figure, the entire Black Water Village would suffer greatly!
It’s highly unfavorable for Black Water Village’s sustainable development.
Yet now, this Second Master has committed the mistake again!
And so brazenly?
Truly, a dog can’t change its habit of eating dirt!
The chief clenched his fists, hastening his steps to catch up with Jun Ning.
...
Before the Second Master’s dwelling.
Early in the morning, a large pot was set up before the Second Master’s house, with boiling water inside and blazing flames beneath, the aide beside was still adding wood to the fire!
The Second Master sat in a chair not far from the pot, looking at the person kneeling before him.
This person was Ye Ying.
Ye Ying’s shirt was already removed, exposing his upper body, kneeling on the ground.
The Second Master looked at the scars on Ye Ying’s body and said, "I’m very curious about your profession? How can you possess such skills? How did you get all these scars?"
In this era, scars are not considered a blemish for men!
To men, scars are a badge of honor, a symbol of glory!
Ye Ying remained silent.
Yet the Second Master said, "If you don’t tell me, I won’t lift the curse off your companion, so speak? If you please me, perhaps I will help your companion lift the curse immediately! And you won’t have to bathe in boiling water."
