These people were all captured at great expense by the Dongchang, so Sanbao knew everything about each of them.

Especially this general flag from the Jiangzhe region, in order to capture him, the Dongchang dispatched over sixty people, three of whom were his capable lieutenants, specially sent from the capital to support the Dongchang branch in Jiangzhe. They laid a trap and after more than ten days of careful planning, finally captured him.

For this, over sixty people went from the Dongchang, but only a dozen or so came back. And of his three most trusted lieutenants, only one returned, severely wounded.

And it was precisely because of this that the Three Treasures came to understand deeply just how insane and brutal these people truly were.

Even with a religious bonus, some of their die-hard and fanatical followers were so intimidating that even the ruthless Dongchang Jinyiwei (imperial guards) would be hesitant to face them.

They were just a brutal bunch of cult members, scared witless by Zhou Ping'an, a frail scholar.

Thinking of this, Sānbǎo's eyes towards Zhou Ping'an once again underwent a subtle change...

What he just said about inviting Zhou Ping'an to teach at Dongchang was probably a joke, but now, he seriously wants to think about it.

Zhou Ping'an looked at the three treasures with an unusual gaze. He smiled faintly and motioned for his men to lift the prisoner's shirt. The upper body of this prisoner was a mess of bloody flesh, making people's scalp tingle.

Sān Bǎo remained unmoved. He had seen scenes far more bloody than this, a hundredfold worse. This level of shock held little impact for him.

Then, the next thing Zhou Ping'an said made him furious. He pointed at the crisscrossed wounds on his body and said: "These injuries, he inflicted them upon himself."

“Torturing people to extract confessions is the lowest form of cruelty.”

Zhou Ping'an seemed to be introducing his treasured possession, speaking in the gentlest of tones about the most spine-chilling things. "Such a person, all his strength and perseverance come from his inner faith, so the simplest way is to destroy his faith and soul."

"Does the master know about the water prison"

Siba nodded and said, "I know. There are several water prisons within the Dongchang. The cells are barely half a person's height, submerged in black water, leaving only the prisoner's head exposed above the surface. The oppressive environment can make prisoners extremely uncomfortable."

Nodding, Zhou Ping'an said, "Yes, this punishment is much more advanced than using whips and branding irons. I've just made a slight upgrade. Every day, I order the jailers to watch over him in three shifts and not allow him to sleep. If he dozes off, wake him up immediately and then confine him to a water prison. In the water, I'll put some rats, leeches, cockroaches, and other creatures."

"There are a few other types, but I won't go into detail. Here, everyone failed to last through several rounds. For example, him. His biggest desire now is to die. He would say anything if it meant he could die."

Looking at Zhou Ping'an's honest smile, Sanbao twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Zhou... not going to the East Factory is a real pity."

Zhou Ping'an let out a light chuckle and said, "Dealing with people is simple. Just find their weaknesses. There are no people in this world who can't be dealt with."

Having said that, Zhou Ping'an waved his hand, and immediately someone brought in the poison prepared by the Dongchang.

"Drink it down, and once you have, you'll be allowed to sleep for an hour."

With Zhou An's soft words, the three treasures saw that former high-ranking disciple of the White Lotus Evil Cult who had once been so arrogant, pounce on them like a mad dog. He didn't even need anyone to force him, he opened his mouth and drank down the poison that could kill him, not a single drop left.ce agrees to send troops, no matter the cost, Xue Yuan is willing to pay!"
