Chapter 60

Qin Feng, in order to gain the trust of the Yellow Turbans and rescue Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, had to resort to some means. This could be called, to save beasts, one must first torment the beasts.

Thus, he made Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the two beasts, drink the well-known pepper water from later times.

Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were beasts, they had never eaten "peppers" in this year 1800 before. This intense stimulation of taste was the first to appear in their world. Even though they were both dominant figures, they could not bear it.

Half an hour later, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao stopped shaking their heads and were drenched in sweat, completely exhausted and unrecognizable.

Bu Ji watched for half an hour. He had never seen such a method of torture before. It didn't require any effort to beat them, yet it could make them suffer to the point of wanting to die. He was shocked for half an hour, then wiped his sweat and secretly observed Qin Feng, "This He Shan is indeed a ruthless person. He can come up with such a method. I think Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will surrender. I'll write this method down and use it on others in the future." So, he hurriedly took out a bamboo slip and a pen, and began to record it.

Qin Feng walked over, poked Cao Cao with a stick, and laughed, "How about it? Now you know my methods, right? I'll show you a bright path. As long as you surrender to the Yellow Turbans, you'll have great wealth and honor..."

"Phew~ I will never surrender!" Cao Cao, like a revolutionary fighter, his arms hanging from the torture rack, said weakly after a shake.

Clap, clap, clap, Qin Feng clapped, greatly admiring Cao Cao's spirit, which was on par with the martyrs of our army in later times. He then looked at Yuan Shao, who shivered, bared his teeth, and looked at Cao Cao, finally saying, "I... I won't surrender either!"

"Good, good, good, worthy of being Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu. I greatly admire you."

At this moment, Bu Ji put away his bamboo slip and hurriedly came over. He had already changed his view of Qin Feng, realizing he still had much to learn. He said, "General, they won't surrender. What should we do? Are the next methods in the ten great tortures even more severe?"

"Indeed." Qin Feng nodded.

Bu Ji was overjoyed, thinking he needed to study well. He thought Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were rare talents, and if it were others, they would have surrendered long ago.

Thus, Bu Ji transformed into a newly graduated student, and Qin Feng became the head of a special agency, sneering. The atmosphere around him made everyone shiver.

"Tiger Bench!" Qin Feng waved his hand. Thus, the prison became a "Zazai Cave."

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were terrified. Cao Cao exclaimed, "Oh, Tiger Bench, does it mean putting a tiger on the bench! Are we going to be put on it too?"

Yuan Shao swayed.

Qin Feng, upon hearing this, thought Cao Cao's idea was good and decided to upgrade the Tiger Bench.

A Yellow Turban thug was shocked and said, "General, using a tiger to torture prisoners is indeed a top-notch method, but where can we find a tiger!"

Qin Feng's face turned bitter, and he slapped the thug to the ground, angry, "Damn, did I say to put a tiger on the bench?"

The Yellow Turban thug, who usually killed without blinking, was already intimidated by Qin Feng's "cruelty." He got up, bowed, and dared not speak.

Qin Feng then said, "My Tiger Bench is like this, using the principle of leverage, mechanics, and angles. Do you understand?"

"Ah?" A flock of crows flew over Bu Ji and the others' heads. These ancients had no idea about mechanics and angles, so they were immediately stunned.

Soon, a Tiger Bench was made under Qin Feng's guidance.

The Tiger Bench had one end vertical, a very thick and strong wooden post, forming a 90-degree angle with the long bench. Qin Feng also prepared some thick hemp ropes to tie and fix the body and thighs. He also prepared many wooden sticks to clamp the knees and calves, naming them "Heartless Wood."

Thud, when Qin Feng threw four blue bricks to the ground, the work was complete.

Bu Ji, stretching his neck like a turtle, looked at the simple torture device on the ground, scratching his head, "Is that it?"

"That's it." Qin Feng smiled.

Immediately, Qin Feng had the Yellow Turban thugs put Cao Cao down and onto the Tiger Bench.

At first, Cao Cao was very frightened and uneasy, but after being hung for four days, he was finally down. Although he was heavily injured, he couldn't hide the sense of relief. The Tiger Bench had a backrest, and when he leaned back, Cao Cao actually felt comfortable.

Bu Ji, upon seeing this, sneered, thinking this was not a severe torture. He thought Cao Mengde must be very comfortable, probably the most comfortable in these four days.

"Bind him, put on the clamps!"

"Ouch~" Cao Cao groaned but didn't cry out.

Bu Ji, upon seeing him bound, noticed there was nothing else, and said, "General, just binding him like this, will he confess?"

Qin Feng picked up a brick and smiled, "All the secrets are in this brick!"

When Bu Ji and the others didn't understand, Qin Feng used the Heartless Wood to create a lever. Thus, although Cao Cao's legs were tightly tied to the Tiger Bench, there was still some space under his heels.

Cao Cao's legs were bent in the opposite direction, causing him to grimace in pain, barely holding back a cry.

Qin Feng smiled, "Mengde, will you surrender?"

Cao Cao sneered, "He Shan, I will never surrender!"

Qin Feng added a second brick, and Cao Cao felt his legs about to break, already in excruciating pain.

"Mengde, will you surrender?"

"I will never surrender."

"Alright, you have spirit." Thus, Qin Feng used the Heartless Wood to lift Cao Cao's heels, and a series of bone-cracking sounds were heard. Everyone saw Cao Cao's knees clearly sink, and the sound of bones made them shudder.

Cao Cao finally understood what the Tiger Bench felt like. The pain was unbearable, even for a hero. This time, without Qin Feng asking, Cao Cao let out a pig-like scream, shouting, "Beat me to death! I will never surrender!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but admire Cao Cao. If it were him, he would have feigned surrender and made plans. With three bricks, adding one more would cripple Cao Cao's legs. Therefore, Qin Feng could only show his helplessness, saying, "This man is tough. It seems this torture is not effective."

Bu Ji immediately became dissatisfied, incredulous, "General, these things are very common, not as severe as whipping. A few pieces of wood, ropes, and bricks, and it's one of the ten great tortures?"

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Would you like to try?"

Bu Ji thought Qin Feng's torture was not severe enough. He already saw Qin Feng as a future rival within the Yellow Turbans, so he wanted to undermine him, saying, "Try, I will."

Thus, Cao Cao was taken down, and Bu Ji was put on the Tiger Bench.

Qin Feng, with the fastest speed, added three bricks, not giving Bu Ji any time to adapt.

Bu Ji's face turned green, and he immediately let out a dog-like scream, "Oh, General, let me down, ouch, I can't take it, my legs are breaking, breaking!"

"Is this a severe torture?" Qin Feng asked.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Bu Ji hurriedly nodded, unable to hold on, thinking it was simple but extremely cruel, and admiring how He Shan could come up with it.

"What bad things have you done?"

Bu Ji, at first unwilling to speak, but unable to withstand the torture, immediately confessed, "I have killed 226 civilians, raped 129 women, tortured 78 soldiers to death, and buried my injured brothers alive. Yes, yes, I also embezzled military pay. General, I have said everything, please let me go!"

The surrounding Yellow Turban soldiers were thoroughly shocked, never expecting their general to be so evil, evil to the point of flowing water!

It wasn't the right time to kill Bu Ji, so Qin Feng temporarily let him go, smiling, "How is my torture?"

Bu Ji, unable to stand, sat on the Tiger Bench, bowing repeatedly, "General, your torture is the most evil I have ever seen. No, no, no, your methods are the most ingenious, I, Bu Ji, am greatly admiring, greatly admiring!"

Thus, for several days, inside and outside the prison, cries of pain could be heard, "Beat me to death, I will never surrender!"

Seeing Cao Cao and Yuan Shao not surrender, Qin Feng was both pleased and angry. Thus, a rescue mission gradually turned into a "duel." No matter what, Qin Feng was determined to make Cao Cao and Yuan Shao surrender before rescuing them.
