Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

Chapter 123 Bloodletting

The people of the Xu family never thought that Ling Chuan would use this trick. By the time they reacted, the carriage had already run a long distance away, and they hurriedly chased after it, shouting and screaming.

There were four people sitting in this carriage. In addition to the fat man Zhang Tong, the short and fat man who was captured just now was also not light. Although the carriage was not running fast, it was also not something that could be caught up with on foot.

However, the small courtyard outside the city where Lingchuan and his men were stationed had already been exposed, so it didn't matter whether they could be caught up or not.

So when they returned to the courtyard, the first thing Ling Chuan did was to ask Chuyi to take the short and fat man to the inner room and start interrogating him.

This guy seemed to be fearless. Duan Xifeng asked him a few questions but he didn't even open his mouth. He just looked up at the sky.

Ling Chuan shook his head: "Why not torture him?"

Duan Xifeng shook his head and pulled Ling Chuan out of the room: "This guy is not an important person. We can't dig out any important clues from him. When the time comes, we will have no evidence in our hands, and it will be difficult to explain."

Ling Chuan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. I have a plan."

After that, he went back into the house: "I'll ask you one last time, what's your name?"

Compared to Duan Xifeng, Ling Chuan is obviously more intimidating, not because Ling Chuan is fierce, but because he looks like a young and inexperienced person.

"I will not change my name or surname, Xu Sanshi, if you know what's good for you, just let me go, or you will suffer the consequences."

Ling Chuan nodded: "Xu Sanshi, right? We already have evidence of the Huang family's massacre in Hexi Village. As long as you tell me the whole story, I will let you go. Otherwise..."

"What else can we do? This is Ruyin, in the territory of Ruyin..."

"You won't tell me, okay?" Ling Chuan turned his head and looked at the two guards: "Strip him of his clothes, blindfold him, and hang him upside down."

When the two guards stepped forward, Xu Sanshi panicked and began to struggle. The two guards were not going to be polite to him and directly drew out their swords.

"Don't move. Don't blame us if you get cut."

The cold blade rubbed against Xu Sanshi's flesh. He dared not move, but he kept talking: "I'm telling you, this is Ruyin, I'm from the Xu family, if you dare to touch me, ouch... it's cut..."

"I told you not to move, but you moved anyway. You deserve it."

Ling Chuan covered his face and said, "Why don't you give him some space to cover himself? Why did you strip him naked?"

The two guards smiled awkwardly: "I cut it with a knife. I wasn't paying attention."

"Alright, alright, hang him up, and cover him with a piece of cloth. He looks big and strong, but his penis is so tiny."

Xu Sanshi had been beaten like a chicken by now, so he didn't dare to reply. Ling Chuan waited until he was hung up, and then ordered: "Go find a copper basin. I will teach you a trick today. The blood in a person's body accounts for less than 10% of his body weight. This short and fat man weighs about 200 kilograms, and the blood in his body is about 14 or 15 kilograms."

He pointed at the copper basin brought by the guard next to him and said, "This basin should be enough. However, if he bleeds three pounds, he will pass out. If he bleeds five or six pounds, he will be dead and even gods can't save him."

When he said this, he took the knife from the guard's hand and slashed Xu Sanshi's wrist.

Xu Sanshi screamed in pain, his tone becoming panicked: "What are you doing? What are you going to do?"

However, Ling Chuan ignored him and continued, "However, if we are interrogating a prisoner, we don't need to bleed so much. Just half of it is enough. Considering his fat head and big ears, about one and a half pounds or two pounds will be enough. When a person lacks blood, his brain will not work well. He will say whatever you ask. Even if he lies, we can just ask him the same question a few more times."

Blood was constantly dripping from Xu Sanshi's wrist, and the blood dripped into the copper basin drop by drop, making a clanging sound, which was particularly harsh amidst Lingchuan's plain words.

At this time, someone asked: "Master Ling, what would happen if the blood loss was more than three kilograms, but less than five or six kilograms?"

"Good question." Ling Chuan gave the man an appreciative look. "If he loses more than three kilograms, he will faint. If he loses more blood, it will affect his brain. If he loses more, for example, four or five kilograms, his brain will be damaged. Even if he is revived, he will be a fool and will not live long."

As he spoke, he gestured for someone to bring a teapot, hang it on a rope beside, and let the water in the teapot drip slowly.

When the bleeding on Xu Sanshi's wrist stopped, he moved the copper basin under the teapot, letting the sound of dripping tea replace the sound of dripping blood.

After doing all this, Ling Chuan called out to everyone: "Come on, let's go out. This fat guy is disgusting to look at. The blood will drip for a while. You better keep an eye on him. Don't let too much drip out, otherwise it will be difficult to question him."

When Xu Sanshi heard the noise that everyone had gone out, he began to struggle, but he was hung upside down and tied to a pillar. After struggling for a long time, it was of no use, so he had to stop.

In the silent environment, every ticking sound was like a heavy hammer hitting Xu Sanshi's heart. In his mind, he had already imagined blood dripping from his wrist, drop by drop into the copper basin. Judging from the sound, there was already a shallow puddle.

A feeling of fear arose in Xu Sanshi's mind, and this kind of fear was not something that ordinary people could bear.

Does this officer from the Criminal Investigation Bureau really dare to kill me?

He didn't dare to do that, he said it was for questioning.

But what if you bleed too much and become a fool?

Isn't there a fool in the Zhou family? Every time I see the foolish son of the Zhou family, I either slap him or kick him like a dog. Last time, I even took some snacks covered with cow dung from the ground and gave them to him to eat. The fool ate them happily.

When he thought that he might end up like that in the future, Xu Sanshi couldn't help but struggle again: "I confess, I confess, I confess everything, put me down, put me down."

But no matter how he shouted, there was no sound from outside. The fear in Xu Sanshi's heart gradually grew and swallowed him up.

In fact, Ling Chuan was in the next room at this time, observing him through the door. Duan Xifeng at the side gently poked Ling Chuan with a puzzled look in his eyes. The meaning was very clear: will this work?

Ling Chuan nodded, gave him an affirmative look, and then pointed his finger at Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi had already burst into tears, and while crying he shouted, "Someone, come quickly, I confess, I am willing to confess, wuwuwuwu..."

Duan Xifeng glanced back and forth between Ling Chuan and Xu Sanshi a few times, meaning that this was not enough?

Ling Chuan waved his hand and gave him a look that told him to wait a moment.

It was not until Xu Sanshi's voice became hoarse and he could not even sob that Ling Chuan made a gesture, quietly walked to the door, and then stepped heavier, pretending to have just come in from outside.

As soon as he walked into the house, Ling Chuan pretended to scold him: "I told you to keep an eye on it, but you just wanted to be lazy, right? Look, so much blood has been lost, it must be three or four pounds, right?"

The guard at the side said, "Sir, I just went to the toilet, I didn't know I would bleed so much in a short while."

"Go, go, go and see if he is dead or not."
