Chapter 438 Buying and Selling
Chapter 438 Buying and Selling
Sheng Wei struggled hard and actually broke free from Sheng Zhixing's hands. He hurriedly chose a direction and ran, looking back to see if anyone was catching up with him. To his surprise, there was no one chasing him.
However, as he ran hurriedly, looking back every few steps, his feet slipped and he fell into a ten-foot-deep pit. The bamboo thorns in the pit directly pierced his leg!
This pit was actually one of the traps that his men had set up a day earlier!
Sheng Wei wailed in pain at the bottom of the pit: "Is there anyone here? I'm hurt!"
"Father! I know I was wrong! Can you please save me?"
After a while, Sheng Zhixing poked his head out from the pit and looked down at Sheng Wei in the pit.
Sheng Wei covered his wound that was bleeding profusely and cried bitterly: "Father, I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"
Sheng Zhixing, who was standing at the entrance of the pit, smiled coldly when he heard this, "Of course, you and I are father and son."
"It must be lonely to stay in this deep pit alone, right? So I found a companion for you."
Sheng Zhixing threw two large bamboo baskets into the cave, and then quickly covered the entrance of the pit with gauze.
With a "pop", the sealed basket fell to the ground, and the bamboo lid that sealed the basket fell off. Groups of small flying insects flew out from the bamboo house, and an annoying "buzzing" sound was heard in the deep pit.
Sheng Wei looked carefully and found that what flew out of the bamboo building were mosquitoes the size of a fingernail!
From another bamboo basket came out a bunch of crawling insects. The light in the pit was dim, so he couldn't see clearly what they were. When three or five cute little cockroaches with tentacles crawled along Sheng Wei's arm and into his clothes, Sheng Wei screamed in surprise: "Ahhhh——"
If there were only a few cockroaches, he would not be afraid at all, but now there were groups of cockroaches wrapped around him like a quilt!
Just as he opened his mouth to scream, a cockroach crawled into his open mouth.
"vomit--"
He wanted to ask Sheng Zhixing to let him go, but he was afraid that he would be attacked as soon as he opened his mouth. At this moment, he felt like he was living a life worse than death and had been tortured to the point of physical and mental collapse.
Just as he waved away the cockroach, a mosquito came to bite him again. Sheng Wei was so annoyed that he wanted to die on the bamboo thorns, but he didn't have the courage to do so.
The mosquito bites were extremely itchy. He didn't expect that cockroaches could bite people! Two small red dots appeared in pairs on his skin, which was painful and itchy.
Sheng Wei, who had been arrogant for more than 20 years, cried for the first time.
Sheng Zhixing's voice came from above: "You can't stand it? When you sent people to hunt me down and forced me to flee to the ends of the earth, the conditions I was in were much more difficult than yours!"
"When you let your people engage in human trafficking, how can you understand the pain of those children who are displaced?"
"Just reflect on yourself here!"

When Sheng Wei was pulled out from the bottom of the pit, he had lost too much blood and fainted, with not a single piece of healthy skin on his body.
Of course we can't let such a scumbag get away with it and let him die immediately.
Sheng Zhixing ordered the guards behind him: "Let the doctor treat him and keep him alive."
The guards immediately went to do it after receiving the order.
Sheng Zhixing looked at the eldest prince's adviser. This adviser was originally a civil official in the court who was responsible for revising the laws. Now that he had just returned to the court and was short of manpower, he was not picky and used all the officials who could be used first.
He said to the counselor, "The laws of Nanzhao should be revised. Now there is one rule, remember it first. If anyone abducts or sells people, both the buyer and the seller will be punished by being bitten."
The counselor asked in confusion: "Your Majesty? What is the punishment of eating?"
Sheng Zhixing explained calmly, "They throw people into a pit to feed cockroaches and mosquitoes. If they survive, they will be flogged until they are beaten to death."
"The eldest prince will be kept as an example. When you have nothing to do, push him in a wheelchair to the most prosperous places in each city for a walk, and then whip him. Beat him until he has a breath left, and then hang him on his life."
The counselor asked cautiously: "What if the eldest prince doesn't make it..."
Sheng Zhixing said calmly: "Then you will die. You will die anyway."
The counselor opened his eyes wide in surprise. Does Your Majesty really have no feelings or attachment to his own children?
Yes, if one is being hunted down by one's own children, being tolerant to others would be being cruel to oneself.
The soldiers who had surrendered to Sheng Zhixing saw that the once majestic first prince had now become unrecognizable. Looking at the wounds on his body, they were terrified and looked at Sheng Zhixing with fear and respect.
After His Majesty escaped death, his temperament changed drastically. He became decisive and ruthless, like a completely different person.
However, even if there were doubts about Sheng Zhixing's drastic change in temperament, no one dared to investigate it in detail. After all, the iron fist represented the power of speech, and no matter who became the emperor, as long as they could keep their lives, it would be fine.
A night passed, and by noon the next day, Sheng Zhixing had led his men to clear the eastern rainforest. The dead and injured had all been cleared out and taken out of the rainforest, and the rainforest had returned to its usual tranquility.
Panda took the animals to visit the golden python's home, and took the opportunity to socialize and get to know other animals in the rainforest.
Jiang Lili and Wen Qiao led the Xin family army and the Navy No. 2, and Sheng Zhixing led 2,600 surrendered rebels. The three teams marched towards the northern camp of Haikui City together.
Xin Che had already taken the lead after leading his troops to subdue the eldest prince's 5,000 reinforcements.
The eldest prince was wrapped in dense gauze, his legs were disabled, and he was lying on a cart with half of his body paralyzed, being pulled by a horse.
His miserable condition served as a constant warning to the surrendered soldiers, and they became so obedient that they never dared to cause any trouble again.

The northern camp of Anemone City.
The Third Prince had not received any news about Wen Qiao and was extremely worried: "Master, it has been a day and a half since Senior Sister and the others left. How come there is no news at all?"
"I told you not to worry."
Master Liao said, and he "conjured up" two books, one called "Fitness Training Guide: From Beginner to Mastery" and the other "Grappling Techniques". "Haven't you already practiced most of the previous techniques?"
Master Liao placed the book on the table and said, "I have prepared two more secret books for you. One is about body skills, and the other is about body training."
"Fitness training guide?" Sheng Qingyun flipped through the fitness manual casually. "And is this the legendary body-building technique?"
Master Liao nodded seriously: "After you have mastered this skill, your strength will increase a lot, and your body will become stronger!"
"Moreover, this secret book can also be practiced by mortals. After you learn it, you can promote it to the soldiers under your command. When you inherit the throne in the future, you can let all the people in Nanzhao learn physical training."
When Sheng Qingyun heard this, he was overjoyed. He immediately picked up the book and began to read it eagerly.
Master Liao looked at Sheng Qingyun who was so active and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
