Chapter 957: 444: Suo Lun’s Slaughter Command! Corpses everywhere!_2

Having said that, Suofu spat towards Suo Lun.

"This ledger is very important, without it how can I trace the embezzlement, raid homes, arrest people, or know which members are key to the Yinzhou Interest Group?" Suo Lun said: "So please try to recall where those ledgers are."

"Ptui..." Suofu spat again.

"Bring his son to me." commanded Suo Lun.

Immediately, a samurai brought over a pampered young man in his twenties.

"Ha ha, you think by threatening me with my son’s life..." Suofu laughed heartily.

However, before he could finish laughing, the laughter abruptly stopped.

Because with one stroke of his sword, Suo Lun had decapitated Suofu’s pampered son—his head severed from his body.

"Bring his father over." Suo Lun ordered.

Then, two samurais escorted an elderly man dressed in brocade.

"You dare, young thief, Great Judge Baron is my adopted son..." the old man shouted furiously at Suo Lun.

"Splat..." Suo Lun’s sword penetrated his mouth, piercing through his skull.

"Next!" Suo Lun beckoned.

Without seeing who it was, Suo Lun simply beheaded the next person with a stroke of his sword.

"Next..."

"Next..."

"Next..."

Just like that, Suo Lun killed more than a dozen of Suofu’s family members in one go, leaving Finance Minister Suofu pale as iron, trembling all over, nearly soiling himself with fright.

"I do not kill out of personal hatred." Suo Lun said indifferently, "Turing Duo acted heinously, seriously offending me, nearly harming my son. I didn’t torture her excessively but executed her formally. That’s because I’m not a cruel killer, but... if it’s for a purpose, I could kill a thousand, ten thousand people without batting an eye!"

Suofu trembled violently and said with a shaky voice: "Great Priest Balon will come to save me, Yinzhou will come to rescue me."

Suo Lun nodded and gestured: "Next!"

Immediately, two Samurais pushed forward someone—a teenager slightly older than Ashi Yuanba. This was Suofu’s younger son.

Seeing the boy, Suo Lun’s heart softened for a moment; his hand, gripping the sword, hesitated and then lowered.

"Forget it, Suofu is heartless, selfish, and mercenary. Even if his family is killed, he won’t furrow his brow," Suo Lun said, waving the samurai to take Suofu’s younger son away.

Then, he suddenly noticed the teenage boy looking at Suo Lun with a gaze filled with hatred and resentment.

Suo Lun stepped forward and addressed Suofu’s younger son: "I know you hate me for killing your family. But killing one more person today is to save a hundred tomorrow."

"Young master here will remember you, I’ll remember you," the teenager said in a deeply resentful tone, "Just wait until I get out alive, make my way to Yinzhou, to the Dragon Temple, and after I return, I’m going to slaughter your entire family."

"Yinzhou, Dragon Temple?" Suo Lun said, "You are a man of the Rage Wave Kingdom, when did you become a person of Yinzhou?"

"Ptui! I am a nobleman of Yinzhou, not a vile person of Rage Wave!" the youth spat.

Suo Lun frowned, struggling internally, and after a brief hesitation, he approached and embraced the boy’s head, gently twisting.

"Crack..." the boy’s neck was twisted, snapping instantly, and he died on the spot.

Releasing the boy’s body, Suo Lun approached Suofu and noticed fear in his eyes but not much sorrow.

"You’re a bad person, aren’t you? Facing the tragic death of your family members, you don’t seem much saddened," Suo Lun remarked, "It seems threatening you with your family won’t make you talk, so let’s try something else!"

Then, Suo Lun waved his hand.

A Shadow Cabinet Warrior grabbed a red-hot iron and held it close to Suofu’s face.

Suofu felt his face burning unbearably, unable to open his eyes.

He was truly terrified inside, but he knew that speaking out would mean certain death; Yinzhou would never forgive him.

And if he kept silent, despite the pain, at least he wouldn’t die.

"Why suffer? Tell me, where is the ledger?" Suo Lun asked.

"There is no ledger!" replied Suofu.

Suo Lun waved his hand.

The Shadow Cabinet Warrior pressed the red-hot iron directly onto his face.

"Ah..." Suofu screamed a ghastly cry of agony.

The stench of burning flesh filled the air.

Finance Minister Suofu soiled himself, overcome by pain and fainting.

A bucket of cold water was thrown over him, reviving Suofu.

"Where is the ledger?" Suo Lun asked again.

Suofu grinned malevolently and said to Suo Lun: "Great Priest Balon will come to my rescue; Yinzhou will save me, Suo Lun, you’re headed for a great disaster."

Enraged, Hei Ningqi was about to inflict the punishment personally!

But Suo Lun raised his hand and said, "No need, the pain he’s just suffered has already exceeded the limit. Continuing the punishment will only diminish the sensation of pain. He clings to hope, so he won’t speak. Find the best physician to treat his injuries; don’t let him die."

"Yes!" Hei Ningqi replied.

Suo Lun turned and left the dungeon.

Hei Ningqi inquired, "Duke, what should we do next? How do we make Suofu speak?"

Suo Lun said: "Don’t worry, he’ll speak. His silence now isn’t because of his determination, but because his will to live is too strong. He knows confessing means certain death; when he feels life is worse than death, he’ll talk. Look at Yin Du, the young deputy minister, so confident in himself!"
