Chapter 179 [Reasonable Lies](2/2)
After saying that, Du Wei suddenly turned back to the chair and sat down quietly.
Ruolin had already stood up, and two strong men with ferocious faces strode up behind her. Without any explanation, they grabbed the little Lufik one by one and lifted the little Nian up.
He grabbed it and walked into a room next door.
Ruolin's two men were both pirates, with ferocious smiles on their faces. They were definitely not good people at first glance. Old Benka's expression immediately changed, he turned around and anxiously shouted to Du Wei: "Distinguished master
, you are..."
"This is the punishment for lying." Du Wei sat on the chair and looked at the old guy coldly.
Lao Benka plopped down and knelt down. He shouted repeatedly: "I...I didn't lie! Everything I said is true..."
"Hmph!" Du Wei sneered: "Rilun tribe? Sacrifice? Chief's son? Lufik? Do you really think I'm one of those stupid nobles who are easy to deceive!"
At this moment, a panicked scream from the young man suddenly came from the room next to him, and then there was a loud sound of a whip!
Snapped!!!
It was the sound of a whip hitting the flesh. It was loud and crisp, mixed with the young man's miserable cry. Old Benka's face changed wildly, and he was about to jump up and run to that room, but Ruolin pushed him away and he retreated weakly.
Went back.
"Ruolin, let them give that kid twenty lashes first!" Du Wei said with a cold expression: "Old Benka... Huh, I don't care if this is your real name. But you have to know that a child's body may not be able to
Accept the punishment I have here! Twenty lashes. After he has finished the twenty lashes, if you still don’t tell the truth, I will let someone continue to slap him with forty lashes! Then eighty! After eighty, it will be one hundred.
Sixty! Until you tell the truth!"
Lao Benka was covered in sweat and shouted: "I... everything I said is the truth! It's all the truth!!"
"True?" Du Wei sneered: "You just made up a seemingly reasonable lie to deceive me!"
He suddenly stood up and threw a tea cup at his hand over his face, hitting Lao Benka's feet. With a bang, the tea cup shattered and the tea splashed everywhere. Lao Benka's heart suddenly jumped.
"Do you think I don't know?" Du Wei sneered: "Sun Lun Tribe? What a joke! Yes, there is indeed a Sun Lun Tribe in Nanyang, but that tribe was wiped out by the empire's expedition fleet fourteen years ago!
The ninth expedition of the empire, the sixth glorious day of triumph! The Sun Wheel Tribe is the twenty-sixth tribe conquered by the Imperial Expeditionary Force in the records of the Empire! The Sun Wheel Tribe, also called the 'Medsa Tribe', is named after the sun.
God is their patron saint, and the surnames from the clan chiefs are all 'Medsa', because they believe that their ancestor is a servant of the sun god named Medesa. You said that the chief's son is called
Lufik? Let me tell you, I also know the surname Lufik. Lufik means "wind" in some of your Southeast Asian indigenous languages! The son of the chief of the Rilun tribe named him "Wind"
'?Do you think I'm a fool? Or do you think I know nothing about Nanyang like other nobles?"
Du Wei's cold eyes finally fell on Lao Benka's tattoo: "Finally, your tattoo! Dear Mr. Sacrifice! Indeed, according to legend, tribal sacrifices require tattoos, but this tattoo of yours is the sun wheel.
Is he the sun god? What a joke! Are you bullying me for not understanding Nanyang culture?"
Du Wei suddenly raised his hand, dipped it on the tea stains on the table, and then quickly drew a pattern on the ground in front of him.
"This is the totem of the Sun Wheel Tribe! The totem of the Sun God!"
Looking at the pattern Du Wei casually drew on the ground in front of him, Benka suddenly felt a chill rising from his heels to the back of his head!
He looked at the young nobleman in front of him as if he were looking at a ghost.
He...how could he know! How could he understand so clearly?!
Du Wei drew this pattern, and of course Lao Benka recognized it! It’s not bad at all, even every pattern has no deviation! It is the sun god totem of the orthodox Rilun tribe! This young nobleman is familiar with Nanyang culture
, it is far beyond the estimate of this card!
"Do you want me to continue?" Du Wei sneered and looked at Old Benka: "Are you still not giving up? Then let me tell you again, that tattoo on your body is not a totem of a god at all, but a ball of flame!
What a joke! Do you think I can’t even tell the difference between the sun god and ordinary flame tattoos? In the tribal culture of Southeast Asia, the flame tattoo on your body simply represents nobility and auspiciousness! And some kind of divine protection.
It doesn’t matter much!”
Old Benka was drenched in sweat.
"How is it?" After Du Wei finished speaking in one breath, his tone gradually calmed down: "Are you surprised? Then tell me your true identity! Huh, you are smart and cunning, and you actually made up such a trick.
You lied to me with seemingly reasonable lies! If this young master hadn’t done some research on Nanyang culture, if it had been anyone else, he would have actually lied to you!"
Old Benka was still in a daze, and Du Wei reminded him just right: "That poor Lufic is still being whipped. Do you want to waste your time by continuing to think about it?"
Chapter completed!
