Chapter 193 Stick Your Head Over Here
Squeak-!
The heavy iron gates suddenly opened, revealing the stench of the Ministry of Justice prison.
Monks can move mountains and fill seas; they can easily transform a prison into paradise.
However, in order to deter prisoners, the harsh environment was still used.
A candle serves as the light source, a pile of straw laid on the ground becomes a bed, and a wooden tub with a hole in it becomes a chamber pot.
Because it's a prison for serious offenders, there aren't even windows for ventilation.
The dim lighting can make you feel gloomy if you stay there for too long.
Moreover, the cell was a circular one, making it difficult to lie down or stand up straight, which was very uncomfortable.
Dai Zui finally brought the person to the destination, completing most of the mission, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Please!" he gestured.
Qingman was trembling with fear; this was the first time in her life she had ever been to jail!
Su Yun asked curiously, "You've been to the Imperial City, why are you afraid of this place?"
Qingman's teeth chattered: "This servant doesn't know!"
"I'm just scared!"
If you're afraid of tigers, who says you can't be afraid of spiders!
Seeing them chatting and laughing, Dai Zui became furious: "Are you coming in or not! Don't force me to use torture!"
We can't torture Su Yun, and this old woman isn't suitable either, but the maid is young, so we can make an example of her!
Grandma Mei merely glanced at it without a smile: "Aren't you going to put on the airlock?"
Dai Zui scanned the area with his divine sense.
The old woman, second realm; the maid, second realm; the little devil, oh, he's only four years old and he's already at the first realm, his cultivation started quite early.
He waved his hand dismissively: "No need to waste time, go inside!"
With just these three people, I could beat ten groups with just one finger!
Bang!
The heavy prison door closed, and Dai Zui finally felt relieved.
It's just a task to recruit people, how did it turn into so many troubles?
"Keep a close watch on them, don't let the prisoner escape!" Dai Zui ordered his Imperial Guards.
He was not responsible for the remaining interrogations; his role was simply to act as Emperor Qian's eyes and ears and be somewhat responsible for the safety of the prisoners.
The subordinate chuckled, "Sir, you jest. This is the Ministry of Justice's prison. How could they possibly escape?"
Dai Zui also laughed: "That's right."
blah blah blah!
Footsteps echoed through the damp corridor, and soon Xiao Erke emerged.
Dai Zui's eyes lit up, and he immediately went to greet him: "Top Scholar!"
Xiao Er smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Lord Dai!"
"Is the matter settled?"
Dai Zui patted his chest and said, "I heard it was related to the top scholar, so I immediately investigated. Fortunately, I did not fail in my mission and arrested the criminal!"
Xiao Erke was overjoyed: "Great, that's wonderful!"
"Where is the man?"
Dai Zui immediately introduced, "Right here!"
As soon as Xiao Erke turned the corner, he saw Su Yun standing in front of the prison door, peeking around, and his mood immediately improved.
"Qiandu is so much better! Cheng'an County is no place for a human to live!"
Xiao Erke's journey to assist the Crown Prince was fraught with hardship.
Not only did they have to go deep into the heart of the plague, but they also suffered repeated setbacks and were criticized by the prince.
After that thrilling incident, the Crown Prince did not want to keep him and sent him back to the capital to report.
As the top scholar in the imperial examination, Xiao Erke also had important intelligence, which earned him the opportunity to meet the emperor.
He embellished the story, and sure enough, after hearing about the murder of his heir, Emperor Qian immediately ordered the arrest of the ringleader.
Dai Zui had always intended to curry favor with the newly crowned champion, and with such an important matter at hand, he immediately decided to do so.
"Su Yun, you were having a good time back then, but now it's too late to realize your mistake!" Xiao Erke was in a great mood.
That day, he mingled among the staff and secretly sent intelligence to the Eighth Princess's people, revealing his location.
Unexpectedly, the Eighth Princess, who was so confident that she could defeat the Crown Prince, ended up failing to achieve her goal.
However, there was also an advantage: Xiao Erke's actions on both sides were not exposed.
"Your holy weapon and your sister can't save you!"
"Don't forget, this is the Great Qian Dynasty!"
Xiao Erke's eyes were fierce, and he coveted Su Yun's sacred weapon. He couldn't understand where such a young child could get such a treasure.
As for his eldest sister, the beautiful Su Youli.
Xiao Erke had stayed at the Su residence for a while, but he only knew that he had never seen this person before.
Upon seeing her this time, I was immediately awestruck.
Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but she also possesses top-notch skills.
However... Xiao Erke didn't take it seriously!
He is the top scholar in the imperial examination and will become an official in the future.
Even the most powerful cultivator is still just a powerful individual.
When the government and the military join forces, they are invincible in a direct confrontation.
Even if You Li comes, she will become nothing more than a skeleton in the tomb.
Moreover, Xiao Erke could also see that You Li suffered from amnesia and did not have much consciousness.
This is practically a puppet; once the Su family falls, they can be manipulated however they want.
Therefore, Xiao Erke added fuel to the fire, directing all the blame at Su Yun.
Let's start with him and drag the Su family into hell!
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
As Xiao Erke approached the cell, he could see two more figures inside by the dim candlelight.
He immediately frowned: "What's going on? Didn't the Emperor say he would be kept in solitary confinement?"
Dai Zui smiled wryly: "It was his family who felt that the child was too young and needed someone to take care of him."
Xiao Erke spat, "Take care of? It would be better if he were dead!"
Dai Zui was both amused and exasperated: "Before the interrogation, we still have to live."
As Xiao Erke approached, he saw that behind Su Yun stood Qingman, who looked utterly terrified.
He felt a surge of joy: "Ha, even in prison he has a maidservant. He's lived too long; he's seen everything."
"Qingman, come here, let Grandpa touch you."
Qingman was also exceptionally beautiful, and Xiao Erke had fantasized about her several times when they were at the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence.
This time the other party is in trouble. On their own turf, can't they just do whatever they want?
"Pfft...Pah!" Qingman was trembling and didn't manage to spit out the first mouthful of saliva. She only managed to do it on the second try.
hum!
A ripple passed through the cell door, blocking the saliva.
This is the Ministry of Justice's prison, with the most comprehensive restrictions.
Xiao Erke, even more confident, puffed out his chest: "I'm quite energetic."
"And which maid is that one inside?"
"Come here, let me touch you!"
Dai Zui tried to dissuade him: "Scholar, you can do whatever you want, but please don't hit him!"
"His Majesty has ordered that we must not strike!"
Xiao Erke nodded and called out loudly into the room, "Did you hear that? Come out, or I won't hit you!"
"Hehehe, just touch it."
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The steady steps tread out rhythmic patterns on the sleeping thatch.
From the shadows, a glimpse of a luxurious hem first peeked out.
Xiao Erke nodded. Anyone who could afford this fabric must be of high status.
Her identity is not simple; her skin must be very soft and smooth...
chap!
From the shadows, a dragon-headed cane was revealed.
Xiao Erke's expression was stiff.
chap!
The last footstep sounded, and a head of silver hair emerged from the shadows.
Accompanying it were somewhat cloudy eyes, but which shone with an ageless and majestic light under the candlelight!
Xiao Erke's eyes widened: "You—!"
Grandma Mei said sternly, "Stick your head out here, and I'll let you touch it."
