Chapter 20: Severe Punishment and Forced Confession

  "What... what mastermind behind the scenes? Where did this mastermind come from?" The immense pressure caused Yun Anqi to unconsciously take a step back, but she gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm, "It's just these few slaves who are too arrogant for their own good, they're tired of living anyway, killing them is no big deal..."

  Yun Mo sneered: "The more you try to cover it up, the more obvious it becomes."

  "You... who are you talking about?" Yun Anqi became even more flustered, "What does this have to do with me? I just wanted to clean up the entrance... Ah! What are you going to do?"

  A flower appeared before her eyes, followed by a crisp sound of "ding", and Yun Mo Ran had already drawn out the long sword from Yun An Qi's waist. With a swift motion, she pointed it at one of the guards: "Who instructed you to do what just happened? Speak!"

  The eunuch was so frightened that he trembled all over, and involuntarily glanced at Yun Anqi, "No... no one instructed us, it's just that we were confused..."

  Yun Anqi smiled secretly and hummed: "Did you hear that? There's nothing..."

  Yun Mo dyed cold smile, a sword pierced into the shoulder of the protector, the wound was three inches deep!

  "Ah!" The guard let out a shrill cry, his face paling with pain, "Seventh Miss, spare my life..."

  Brushing off the long sword, ignoring the sudden gush of blood, Yun Mo turned to face the second guard: "Who was it that ordered this just now?"

  Seeing his companion's downfall, this guard had already been frightened into trembling legs: "No... no... no..."

  Hiss... Brush...

  "Ah!"

  The same scene was reenacted, and Yun Mo had already arrived in front of Zhang Zhiyuan: "Who instructed you?"

  Zhang Zhiyuan pointed at his own chin with a trembling finger: "Hmmm... Uh..."

  "Oh, I forgot, your jawbone was kicked in by me." Yun Mo said with a faint smile, "Using fingers is the same too."

  Zhang Zhiyuan almost hated to the point of fainting, but was kept awake by the severe pain in his lower jaw, and his face became distorted: "Uh... uh..."

  Hiss... Brush...

  "Uhh..." A pained grunt, Zhang Zhiyuan's shoulder now had an identical wound.

  "My patience is really wearing thin." Yun Mo Xie stood quietly, the blood dripping from the tip of his sword, "But since you want to play, I'll accompany you to the end!"

  "Xiao Qi! You... stop it!" Yun Baiyu finally reacted, his face pale as he sternly rebuked, "In the presence of the Fourth Prince, how can you be so rude? Moreover, your severe torture is likely to lead to false confessions..."

  "Exactly... that's it!" Yun Anqi's face was even paler than Yun Baiyin, her stomach was tied into knots with anxiety. "You stupid girl! What do you want to do? This slave has already said no one instructed him!"

  Yun Mo's eyes gleamed with sarcasm as he smiled calmly and walked slowly to the last guardian: "Do you know how many bones are in an adult's body?"

  Seeing the fate of his three companions, the guard had already lost his nerve, but still subconsciously shook his head: "No... don't know, didn't count..."

  "206 bones." Yun Mo said faintly, "If you still refuse to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, I will break one by one the 206 bones in your body! Speak! Who instructed you to do this?"

  200 yuan? Is that for real? Hui Lian Qing Yang's interest was piqued upon hearing this, and he instinctively pinched his own arm, completely forgetting about the situation in front of him.

  The whole body of the protector was like a sieve, and he was so scared that his tears flowed: "No... no..."

  "Unbelievable?" Yun Mo Yan raised an eyebrow, and with a clang, he threw down his long sword, slowly grasping his wrist, gently playing with his right hand's little finger, "Then let's start... from here!"

  Crack!

  "Ah! Ah!"

  The little finger was dyed with cloud ink and snapped off, after a few sharp cries, the white-eyed guard fainted to the ground with a thud!

  "This is just the beginning." Yun Mo Yan shook his head regretfully and slowly turned his gaze to the other three, "You three..."

  The three of them were already on edge, and they couldn't take the enormous pressure anymore. Before Yun Mo could finish speaking, one of them suddenly raised his hand: "It's her!"

  Looking at the three fingers stretched out in front of her, Yun Anqi suddenly rushed to He Lianjing's face and cried: "Fourth Prince! Don't listen to this dead girl's nonsense! It wasn't me! I didn't do it..."

  He Lian Jing Yang furrowed his brow: "It was not Seventh Miss who identified you, but them. What did Seventh Miss ever say?"

  Yun Anqi was stunned, then jumped in front of Yun Mochen: "You dead girl! Why did you frame me? Did you deliberately let the Fourth Prince misunderstand that I... This is simply a false confession!"

  "There are many people here." Yun Mo said, taking out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, "Even if I were to be beaten into submission, why wouldn't they accuse someone else?"

  "Yun Anqi was taken aback, and suddenly at a loss for words, "Because... because..."

  Yun Mo's face turned cold with a hint of a smile, his voice as icy as frost: "Big brother, what did you just say?"

  Yun Baiyu looked embarrassed. He knew that this matter was probably Yun Anqi causing trouble, but the people in the mansion had bullied Xiao Qi many times before, and it had never been so publicized.

  "Does Big Brother want to protect his little sister?" Yun Moche threw away the handkerchief, her eyes cold and clear. "If so, I have nothing to say. Fourth Prince, forgive me."

  He Lian Jingyang's gaze was as cold and clear as ink, looking at Yun Baiyu with a slight smile: "Seventh Miss, please don't worry, Duke Anguo has always been fair in his dealings, how could he be biased?"

  Yun Baiyu was in a difficult situation, so he had no choice but to shout loudly: "Come on, take Yun Anqi down!"

  "Yes!" The guard responded loudly and immediately stepped forward to seize Yun Anqi.
