I play the role of Jiajing in Zongwu: What crime have I committed?

His gaze roamed freely over her body.

Gong Yu felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze.

Then he extended his index finger, lightly hooked Gong Yu's chin, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, she is indeed exceptionally beautiful. No wonder she and Qin Banruo are known as the 'Twin Beauties of the Capital.'"

Gong Yu felt extremely panicked as she sensed that nakedly aggressive gaze.

But she quickly suppressed her panic and gave a cold laugh.

"You dog emperor, if you have the guts, kill me!"

Instead of getting angry, Zhu Houcong smiled and slowly slid his fingers down her slender neck.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

He shook his head, his voice carrying a chilling mockery.

"You and Qin Banruo really do look alike!"

"That girl was just as stubborn as you back then, but now she's obediently serving me like a dog."

"Killing you like this would be too easy on you."

Gong Yu tensed up, feeling the warm fingers slowly moving down, and her voice changed.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Zhu Houcong leaned down and whispered in Gong Yu's ear, word by word.

"Don't you know perfectly well what I want to do?"

"Tell me all of Mei Changsu's connections in the martial arts world, and I will let you go."

"Tell me, besides Langya Pavilion and Medicine King Valley, which other forces are secretly colluding with him?"

The Jiangzuo Alliance is now finished, and Yaowang Valley has been massacred by the imperial army.

The imperial court also issued a warrant for the capture of the captors.

The remaining little Lakami who escaped will be found one by one sooner or later.

However, Zhu Houcong always liked to go to extremes and eliminate everyone.

Now that we've made our move, we must ensure that Mei Changsu never recovers.

Therefore, Zhu Houcong also intends to uncover all of Mei Changsu's hidden network of relationships.

Horses trampled the rivers and lakes, wiping them all out.

Gong Yu felt the restless fingers, trembled all over, and turned pale instantly.

She glared at Zhu Houcong and said, word by word.

"You dog emperor, you'll never find out!"

Seeing this, Zhu Houcong sighed and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the water stains from his hands.

He had long anticipated that such humiliation would have little effect on Gong Yu.

Cao Zhichun had been trying for a long time, but it had no effect whatsoever.

However, this is how torture is used to extract confessions.

To gradually destroy the criminal's psychological defenses.

Since it's useless, let's try a different approach.

"Don't be so absolute!"

Zhu Houcong squatted down in front of Gong Yu with a smile.

"In that case, as long as you tell me the answer, we will be relatives within five degrees of kinship from now on."

“Your Miaoyin Pavilion is located right at the foot of the capital, and it’s only 1.6 miles from the palace.”

"From now on, you will be my adopted sister, a princess of Daliang. What do you say?"

Gong Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at Zhu Houcong as if he were an idiot and sneered.

"You dog emperor, you really are a bit of a fool!"

"You sent the imperial henchmen to block the gates of my Miaoyin Pavilion, even though we are only relatives within five degrees of kinship?"

Zhu Houcong was not angry when he heard this, but instead smiled and moved closer.

"Look at what you're saying! We didn't even acknowledge each other as relatives yesterday!"

He reached out to tidy Gong Yu's disheveled hair, but she turned her head away.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Houcong grabbed Gong Yu's chin.

"As long as you nod in agreement, I will immediately announce to the world that you, Gong Yu, will be granted a marriage by the court and will be able to establish kinship with the royal family."

"I will tell the whole world that you are my sister."

"You've been diligently infiltrating the Jiangzuo Alliance for so many years, and before you knew it, you'd become the head of intelligence."

"How about that? Inspiring, right?"

Gong Yu suddenly looked up and angrily cursed, "You dog emperor, don't even think about it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houcong's smile gradually turned cold.

You really don't listen to reason!

Chapter 198: Lost

There's an old saying in our area: "Those who understand the times are the heroes."

Zhu Houcong's mouth unconsciously turned into a catfish shape, and his tone of voice changed.

"Gong Yu, don't be ungrateful."

As a result, Gong Yu snorted coldly and remained unmoved.

Zhu Houcong didn't waste any more time on her and turned to walk towards the Thirteenth Master, who was chained up.

Zhu Houcong asked Mr. B the same question again.

But Mr. B actually raised his head and looked directly at Zhu Houcong, his bloodshot eyes full of stubbornness.

He then slowly shook his head, a mocking smile even appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Click!

Zhu Houcong suddenly made a move, grabbing Mr. B's wrist and tightening his grip with his fingers.

Mr. B's wrist was instantly crushed.

"what!"

Mr. B let out a heart-wrenching scream and struggled violently.

Seeing this, Zhu Houcong smiled even more gently, and he released his hand and looked at the Thirteenth Master.

"Old man, your bones are so flimsy they could crumble with a single squeeze, what are you pretending to be tough for? Hmm?"

Mr. Thirteen was trembling with pain, but he still gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence.

"Dog...Emperor...you...you should kill me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houcong slowly walked behind the two of them.

With a chilling smile on his face, he lifted a huge wine jar from the corner.

"Killing you all would be too easy for you."

"I've come to tell you what's more terrifying than death."

He chuckled softly and placed the wine jar heavily in front of the two of them.

Gong Yu and Mr. B stared intently.

A human head was clearly visible stuck in the mouth of the urn.

The eye sockets were empty, the nose and ears had been cut off, and most terrifyingly, the mouth was still moving slightly!

"ah!!!"

Gong Yu screamed in fright and abruptly closed her eyes.

She was usually calm and composed, but at this moment she was also terrified by the horrifying scene and turned pale.

Mr. B stared intently at the terrifying head inside the urn, when suddenly his pupils contracted sharply.

This face...

Why does it feel so familiar?

His lips trembled as he murmured in disbelief, "Master Lin...Master Lin?"

Although his facial features were completely destroyed, his outline clearly bore a seven-tenths resemblance to Lin Chen, the master of Langya Pavilion.

Zhu Houcong caught a glimpse of Mr. B's shocked expression, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Hehehe, Mr. Thirteen, you have a good eye! You can recognize it even like that?"

He bent down with a wicked grin, bringing his profile close to Lin Chen's, and said teasingly.

"Master Lin, your old friend has arrived. Aren't you going to say hello?"

"what?"

Gong Yu, who had been keeping her eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Lin Chen in disbelief.

Of course, when I saw it clearly, my blood seemed to freeze instantly.

That really was Lin Chen.

The once dashing and debonair master of Langya Pavilion is now unrecognizable.

But Lin Chen is an invincible grandmaster!

How did things come to this?

Gong Yu trembled all over, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Mr. B's eyes also reddened.

Zhu Houcong looked at their reactions with satisfaction and smiled.

"That's right, this is Lin Chen, whom you've all been longing for and searching for."

"Sect Leader Lin...how could he have become like this!"

Gong Yu's voice trembled, and tears rolled down her cheeks like broken beads.

"You fiend! How dare you torture Master Lin to this state! You will die a horrible death!"

Her body was shaking uncontrollably.

Half of her grief was for Lin Chen's tragic state, and the other half was the thought of the terrible fate that was about to befall her.

Snapped!Snapped!

Zhu Houcong suddenly stepped forward and slapped him twice across the face.

Gong Yu was knocked to the side, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, and both sides of her face immediately swelled up.

"To be honest, your mouth is really dirty."

Zhu Houcong grabbed her chin and forced her to look up.

Who are you calling a monster?

"When you were plotting against me and creating chaos in the court, why didn't you admit that you were sorcerers!"

Gong Yu's cheeks burned with pain, and she was speechless for a moment.

Then he abruptly released his grip, wiped his hands on the handkerchief, and continued to threaten.

"You've all seen what happened to Lin Chen."
