Begging for mercy

"Beast! Looking at these evidences, what else do you have to say?!" Thorian shouted in a deep voice.

"Little Prince, please listen to my explanation..."

The city guard general was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and said incoherently: "These are all fake. Someone must have framed me. I have been law-abiding for many years. How could I do such a dirty thing?"

"Now that the evidence is irrefutable, you still dare to quibble? I think you won't cry until you see the coffin!"

Thorian waved his hand and ordered: "Come here! Throw him into the Black Prison and torture him severely. I want to see how hard he can keep his mouth shut!"

"Yes, sir!"

A group of law enforcement guards immediately swarmed in and surrounded the city guard commander.

Seeing this situation, the city guard commander finally panicked.

He knelt on the ground with a thud and began to beg for mercy: "Little prince! I know I was wrong!

I was just confused for a moment. Please, Your Highness, give me some leniency for the sake of my many years of service to West Lucozia!

From now on, I will serve the young prince with all my strength!”

After saying that, he kowtowed several times.

Although he didn't know where these evidences were collected from, he knew very well that if Thorian took it seriously, he would confiscate his property and exterminate his entire clan!

At this moment, dignity and face are no longer important.

As long as he can survive, as long as he can keep his wealth and glory, he will not hesitate even if he has to be Thorian's dog in the future.

"Weren't you very tough before? Are you scared now?" Thorian said with a cold face.

"I was foolish. I thought I could deceive you, little prince. I didn't expect you to be so perceptive and insightful. I couldn't hide my little thoughts from you. I know I was wrong. I won't do it again!"

The city guard commander lowered his head, not daring to breathe.

His life and death now depends entirely on Thorian's thoughts.

He only hoped that the other party would leave him a chance to live, so that he could even retire and return to the countryside.

As for resistance, he would never dare to do that.

Not to mention that those standing around him were the elite of the law enforcement team, pickers among thousands, he had no chance of winning at all.

Even if we take a step back, what would happen even if we managed to escape from the palace?

The monk can escape but the temple cannot. What should his family do?

"You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're dying!"

Thorian said coldly: "You have committed such a heinous crime that can never be redeemed even by death. I absolutely cannot forgive you. Otherwise, how can I convince others in the future?"

When these words were spoken, the city guard commander was struck by lightning and his face turned pale.

He still had a glimmer of hope and begged, "My lord, I have served West Lucozia for many years. Even if I have made some mistakes, they are not punishable by death. Please have mercy on me, lord!"

"Fuck you!"

Thorian was furious. He kicked the city guard commander over and shouted, "You burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Is that a mistake? I’m being merciful if I don't skin you alive!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Thorian raised his hand and said, "First, drag him out and give him fifty lashes! If he's not dead, bring him in and tell him to start talking!"

"yes!"

Wang Mang took action personally, used the dragon rope, tied up the city guard commander, and forcibly dragged him out.

Under the restriction of the dragon rope, the city guard commander's cultivation was completely wasted, and he couldn't even muster the slightest bit of true energy.

In the end, Wang Mang pinned the city guard commander to the ground and hit him fifty times with a stick.

He used all his strength in every strike, without showing any mercy.

After being beaten with fifty sticks, the city guard commander's waist and buttocks were covered in blood and flesh, a horrible sight.

During this period, the city guard general fainted once and was then woken up by being splashed with cold water.

After torturing him, Wang Mang dragged the city guard commander, who looked like a dead dog, into the conference room again.

At this moment, the city guard commander didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.

He dropped his head, looking half dead.

"I'll ask you a question and you answer it. As long as you tell the truth, I can let you go quickly! Otherwise, I'll let you experience all 108 punishments in the Black Prison one by one. Do you understand?!" Thorian shouted condescendingly.

"Understand...Understood." The city guard commander said weakly.

"I'm asking you, is Zhengjun Duncan still alive?" Thorian asked.

"He, is already dead..." The city guard commander did not dare to hide it.

"Where is the body? Who killed him?" Thorian asked.

"General Long Wei sent assassins to ambush him. Zhengjun Duncan did not want to be captured, so he committed suicide."

The city guard general paused and continued, "As for the body...it has been burned to ashes by General Long Wei."

Hearing this, Thorian frowned.

Although he had expected it, the result of leaving no trace behind still made him furious.

"Take him down and make him sign!" Thorian ordered.

Two guards from the law enforcement team immediately lifted up the city guard commander.

"Young Prince... I have committed numerous crimes, and I do not deserve to die. But my family members are all innocent, please show some mercy..." The city guard general begged for mercy with a sad face.

He knew he was going to die, and now he just hoped not to implicate his relatives and friends.

"You have been corrupt and abused your power over the years, and your family members are also beneficiaries. They are by no means innocent!"

Thorian was too lazy to talk nonsense, and waved his hand: "Take him down, keep him under strict guard, and behead him at noon tomorrow!" - Marinien
