Fang Er explained to Qi Sui as he looked at the ten people bound like zongzi.
Untie them. Since they are already here, there’s no need to tie them so tightly.
Although they knew their fate would not be good, Zheng Lao Er, whose entire body was sore from the ropes, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing that they were going to untie him.
But before he could even fully exhale, he heard Fang Er continue.
After untying them, bring a chain and link the feet of all ten of them together.
Zheng Lao Er almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Damn it! Is this what you call not needing to tie them so tightly?
How much tighter do you want it?
Qi Sui executed the order loyally. He called a few more soldiers and they worked together.
An iron chain as thick as an arm was brought from the forging workshop.
Ten thinner iron chains were also brought along.
Ten iron chains were tied to the legs of these ten people, and the other ends were linked to the arm-thick iron chain.
Fang Er nodded with satisfaction.
No matter how capable you are, if you want to run, there’s no way.
He sent Qi Sui and the others away.
He took out a thick stack of books from his space, along with the dictionary he had just annotated, and placed them together on the table in the middle of the room.
Don’t say I’m not being considerate, but copy all these books for me.
You will definitely die, but at least you will be alive until these books are all transcribed.
Moreover, I can guarantee that you will be treated better before the execution.
During these days, someone will bring you paper, pens, and food.
If you dare to mention even a single word of this book’s content to anyone, hehe, don’t blame me for being ruthless!
At that time, death will be a relief for you!
Zheng Lao Er felt the coolness around his ankle, spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the ground, and looked at Fang Er dismissively.
Has the Marquis of Liaodong miscalculated?
Where do you get the confidence to make me work for you?
Fang Er’s lips curled into a cold smile. He directly drew his pistol and pulled the trigger, aiming at his left leg, which was not bound.
Bang!
Ah~!
Zheng Lao Er instantly fell to the ground, clutching his injured left leg and rolling back and forth.
Fang Er put his pistol back, blew away the smoke from the muzzle, and then reinserted it into the holster.
What do you say? Do you want to reconsider?
There are plenty of prisoners in the Ministry of Justice’s prison. If I kill you, I’ll just bring your corpse over and get another one.
Hearing this, Zheng Lao Er could no longer maintain his tough demeanor.
Can you truly guarantee that I will survive until these books are transcribed?
Fang Er looked at the nine condemned prisoners squatting together. He didn’t recognize any of them.
You are not qualified to negotiate with me. Whether you do it or not is up to you.
Also, don’t even think about playing any delaying tactics with me! I will naturally be able to tell if you are doing it with your heart.
The content must not have any omissions or errors!
And the same goes for you all! I’ve said enough. You’re on your own.
With that, he turned and left the room.
Qi Sui was still waiting outside the door.
Fang Er instructed.
Keep a good watch. Also, you are not allowed to converse with them, not even a single word.
If they say anything, report it to me immediately!
In three days, pick one who is not obedient and make an example of him.
Qi Sui nodded repeatedly.
He returned to Fang Family Village, ate a hasty meal, and went to bed.
At the hour of Yin the next day, as the sky was just beginning to brighten, Fang Er was woken up by Xiao Qing.
After dressing and washing up, he mounted Yongshi and headed to Chang’an City to attend the morning court.
The moment the large motorcycle appeared outside Chengtian Gate, it drew everyone’s attention.
Except for Fang Xuanling, who had seen it before, everyone else was full of curiosity.
This Marquis of Liaodong has come up with another new toy!
Cheng Yaojin was the first to rush to Fang Er’s side and asked with confusion.
Brother, what is this thing? You ran faster than an armored vehicle just now!
Chai Shao also pushed his way through the crowd and pulled Fang Er off the motorcycle.
You get down first, let me have a go!
Fang Er’s face was dark! What do you mean, let you have a go!
Do you even know how to operate it?
He quickly said, “Father-in-law, this is not that pickup truck. If you don’t know how to ride it, something bad could happen!”
If you fall while riding it, and something happens to you, how will I explain it to Yue’er?
Chai Shao looked displeased.
What? I’ve already given you my daughter, and you’re being so fussy about letting me ride this thing!
Fang Er was speechless. This guy was being unreasonable again.
Fine, you sit on it, and I’ll teach you how to ride it.
After Chai Shao sat on it, Fang Er began to explain the controls for the clutch, brakes, throttle, and gears.
Cheng Yaojin was also listening intently from the side.
When Fang Er finished explaining, Chai Shao said impatiently, “Alright, I’ve got it.”
Then, following Fang Er’s instructions, he engaged the clutch, shifted gears, and applied the throttle.
The motorcycle wobbled forward, making Fang Er sweat profusely. He quickly chased after it.
Please go slower!
When Chai Shao looked back, he saw Fang Er reaching out to grab the back of the motorcycle, thinking he was trying to snatch it back.
He twisted the throttle all the way, and Yongshi roared forward.
If Chai Shao hadn’t held on tight, he would have been thrown off.
