Chapter 296 Human Nature
Most people, when faced with death, will do anything to survive if given the chance. As Wang Wenzhou expected, none of the female prisoners stood up to object; they just stood there blankly, hands clutching their chests, their bodies shivering from the cold. After all, it was still winter, and the female prisoners weren't wearing any clothes, so it was quite cold.
The guards distributed girls to the victors. Seeing the pitiful state of the female prisoners, Wang Ying grabbed Wang Wenzhou's arm and pleaded, "Wang Wenzhou, they are women after all. War has nothing to do with women. Let them go."
Wang Wenzhou retorted, "Baby, you're wrong about that. Why should war have nothing to do with women? Aren't women human? Don't women eat? Sometimes, women are just shameless. On the one hand, they fight for their rights, and on the other hand, they're always saying, 'She's a woman, don't treat her like this!'"
"Stop talking nonsense, let them go, look how pitiful they are!" Wang Ying frowned, she couldn't understand what Wang Wenzhou was saying at all.
"What a hypocrite!" Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, "Baby, they are pitiful now, but were they pitiful when they committed capital crimes? Everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes."
“I killed three people, you should give me three girls!” A prisoner clashed with the guards distributing the girls.
Wang Wenzhou frowned, waved in that direction, and shouted, "Let him come over here!"
The man was strong and burly, and swaggered over.
Wang Wenzhou asked with a smile, "You killed three people in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. You're a hero!"
"Hehe!" the man said with a laugh, "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. You said that killing one person would allow you to sleep with one girl. I killed three, but when they were dividing the girls, they only gave me one. That's not fair!"
Wang Wenzhou curled his lip and shouted, "Everyone, hold on a second! Listen to me! This hero just killed three people, and he wants three girls. Do you think I should give them to him?"
The prisoners dared not answer. Who knew what answer Lord Wang wanted? What if they answered incorrectly and Lord Wang chopped off their heads?
Wang Wenzhou pointed at the man and cursed, "You idiot, didn't you hear my order clearly? I said, as long as you kill one person and drag his body to me, you can sleep with one of the girls over there. Did I tell you to kill three people? Men, drag him away and cut off his limbs."
Upon hearing this, the man angrily exclaimed, "Lord Wang, how could you do this? You ordered me to kill someone!"
Wang Wenzhou cursed and said, "You really don't know what you did wrong! My order is to kill one person and sleep with one girl. When did I ever say that if you kill three people, you can sleep with three girls? Disobeying my orders has only one word: death!"
The guards quickly subdued the man, and in a short time, his limbs were severed, and he lost consciousness. Losing consciousness was probably his good fortune; otherwise, he would have bled to death.
Wang Ying asked, puzzled, "Wang Wenzhou, weren't you selecting assassins? That man was exceptionally brave. Your orders were ambiguous, and his actions weren't exactly disobeying orders. Why did you kill him?"
Wang Wenzhou laughed and said, "That idiot is so self-righteous, greedy and bloodthirsty. If we send someone like that out on a mission, he might betray his colleagues for personal gain. I don't want to leave any potential threats behind."
……
Wei Yongfu swallowed hard. Lord Wang was truly a killing machine. Wei Yongfu kept wondering what mission Lord Wang wanted them to carry out.
"Your turn!" A guard pushed a female prisoner into Wei Yongfu's arms.
Wei Yongfu quickly took off his clothes and draped them over the female prisoner. He suddenly said, "I want to see Lord Wang."
The guard curled his lip and said, "You're asking for it. I'll introduce you to someone right away."
The guard brought Wei Yongfu to Wang Wenzhou and reported, "Lord Wang, this man wishes to see you."
Wang Wenzhou looked Wei Yongfu up and down and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wei Yongfu bowed slightly and said, "Lord Wang, I would like to ask, is your statement that after killing someone, one can sleep with a girl an order? If it is not an order, I do not wish to sleep with a girl."
What?! Are you kidding me? There are men who don't want to sleep with girls? Is this guy a man who likes men? Wang Wenzhou asked with a smile, "Can you tell me why you don't want to sleep with girls?"
Wei Yongfu thought for a moment and replied, "Your Excellency, I have studied for a few years and do not wish to force anyone to do something difficult."
"What's your name?" Wang Wenzhou asked.
"My name is Wei Yongfu."
Wang Wenzhou laughed and said, "Very good, I'll remember you. Men, take him over and let him choose two girls. You must sleep with Wei Yongfu's two girls, that's an order!"
"Your subordinate obeys!" Wei Yongfu immediately knelt down and replied.
"Go ahead!" Wang Wenzhou waved his hand.
Wang Ying frowned deeply. She truly couldn't understand why Wang Wenzhou had done this. In fact, compared to the man who had just killed three people, Wei Yongfu was the one who had disobeyed Wang Wenzhou's orders.
Wang Ying couldn't understand it no matter how hard she tried, so she asked, "Wang Wenzhou, why didn't you kill Wei Yongfu?"
Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "He's a smart man. Although he only said a few words when he came over, he conveyed several meanings. First, he wanted me to know that he's educated. Second, he didn't want to sleep with girls, which was to tell me that he still has humanity and conscience. Third, I ordered him to choose two girls to sleep with, and he immediately obeyed, which was to tell me that he would absolutely obey my orders. He risked coming here just to show off in front of me and get ahead."
Wang Ying shook her head with a wry smile and said softly, "I've been by His Majesty's side for so long and have seen so many ministers, but I've never seen two people as cunning as you two."
“Baby, those ministers are all shrewd people. The reason you didn’t realize it is because you are too naive,” Wang Wenzhou said with a smile.
Jiang Zhenghe, a commander of the Imperial Guard, came over and reported, "Reporting to Lord Wang, the victor's girls have been distributed."
Wang Wenzhou nodded and said loudly to the victors, "Now you can all go to sleep with your girls in your arms. You can sleep anywhere as long as you don't leave the training camp. We'll meet here again at the same time tomorrow."
"I obey my orders!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The victors happily carried the girls away.
Wang Wenzhou walked up to the 1500 prisoners who had not completed their mission and said, "You did not kill anyone, so you did not complete your mission. Therefore, you cannot be rewarded with sleeping with girls. From now on, you will undergo training."
“Jiang Zhenghe!” Wang Wenzhou looked at Jiang Zhenghe.
"Your subordinate is here!" Jiang Zhenghe quickly replied, clasping his hands in greeting.
Wang Wenzhou ordered, "Later, you will take men to supervise their running. They must run for two hours each in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Anyone who falls behind will be killed."
Many prisoners were terrified. They had to run for half the day, and if they fell behind, they would die. It was like treating people like animals. But they were at the mercy of the authorities and dared not resist. They could only pray that they would not fall behind.
