In addition to the jailer who was doing the torture, there were more than a dozen jailers watching from the sidelines.
Watching the prisoners suffering, some of these jailers whispered to each other and made bets on how many rounds of punishment they could endure. Others looked cheerful and ready to move. When one of the jailers got tired of beating them, they would immediately go up and continue the interrogation.
In the boring life of a prison, in addition to drinking and gambling, executing prisoners is also a form of entertainment for the jailers.
"He Yun, Wang Han."
At this time, Chen Xuan also saw He Yun and Wang Han who were controlled by him with poison among more than a dozen prisoners.
Like the other prisoners, these two people were beaten to death by the interrogating guards. Their bodies were bruised and bruised. It was difficult to even open their eyelids, and they were probably in a coma from the pain.
The interrogation captain asked the scribe in charge of recording to take the written confession and ask the unconscious prisoner to sign it.
"It seems that the Ministry of Prisons doesn't want to take on this hot potato."
Seeing this scene, Chen Xuan secretly thought in his heart.
Smuggling arms is a big deal and involves too many people.
The Ministry of Corrections and Prisons obviously received instructions to close the case quickly.
If some big shots are really revealed from the interrogation, it will really end badly.
"Do your own thing and don't talk too much after you go out."
Guo Xuan didn't know when he came behind Chen Xuan, patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder and said.
"Captain Guo, don't worry. I'm just too bored staying in the artist's room. I just walked around and didn't see anything." Chen Xuandao: "I'm going back to the artist's room first."
"Well, go back and prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Guo Xuan nodded and said: "After the interrogation is over, I will draw portraits of these prisoners. The verdict will be handed down soon."
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare right away."
Chen Xuan returned to the painter's room.
"I'm back. Isn't the interrogation very bloody?"
Jiang Ping said when he saw Chen Xuan coming back.
"The criminal law is very cruel." Chen Xuan nodded, and then said: "Captain Guo asked us to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Later, the prisoners will be brought over for us to draw portraits."
"Okay, let's get ready."
Jiang Ping responded.
After a while, guards dragged more than a dozen dying prisoners to the painter's room. Some prisoners were even no longer breathing and their heartbeats had stopped.
"It would be better to die."
Chen Xuan saw the unconscious He Yun and Wang Han. His breath was as weak as a gossamer. He probably wouldn't be able to survive the night.
These two people themselves are not good people. When they came to the county town on the Tianhe Gang merchant ship, He Yun asked Wang Han to poison the food he ordered in an attempt to make money and kill him.
If he hadn't had some knowledge in poisons and noticed that the food was poisonous, he would have been thrown into the river to feed the fish. That is to say, he had to take a merchant ship to the county town at that time. He was worried that killing the two would cause too much noise.
, he killed the two of them at that time without knowing how to use poison to control them.
These two people have been in the county for a month and a half, and Chen Xuan only asked them to buy medicinal materials once.
He Yun and Wang Han knew his roots, so it would be better if he died.
In the future, when he needs people to do things, he can just use poison to control some evil people. These people must have been disguised after seeing his face, and they don't know his true identity at all, so they don't have to worry about the risk of exposure.
If these two people were not dead, Chen Xuan might have taken the risk himself and provoked them to poison themselves.
Lest they drag themselves into the water before they die.
"Chen Xuan, Jiang Ping, please work hard and don't go back today. We live in the Prison Department. There may be many prisoners coming in the evening who need your portraits."
After all the prisoners' portraits were drawn, Guo Xuan said.
"I have nothing to do tonight, so I can stay."
"I don't have any problem either."
Chen Xuan and Jiang Ping responded.
…
…
The next day.
Chen Xuan left the Prison Department.
He drew hundreds of portraits last night.
If he hadn't been a Bone Tempering Realm warrior, he would have been unable to lift his hands just like Jiang Ping.
Arriving on the busy street, Chen Xuan heard many people talking about the Tianhe Gang's arms smuggling case.
In this arms smuggling case, the smuggled arms were found on the Tianhe Gang merchant ship, so the Tianhe Gang was designated as the main culprit. The Tianhe Gang leader who was responsible for escorting the merchant ship was executed.
According to the perpetrators' accounts, many senior officials of the Tianhe Gang were involved, and all of them were arrested and imprisoned, and were executed on the same day.
Whether in the county or Qingshui County, the Tianhe Gang has become a thing of the past.
This also involved some officials from the Armory, City Guards and Hedao, but most of those arrested were minor officials from the 9th and 9th ranks.
Among them, the officials who received the most punishment were the Director of the Armory, the City Guards General, and the Prime Minister of Hedao County in Qingshui County. They were all eighth-rank officials, but other officials were executed on the same day, and these three just took off their black hats.
.
It's because these three people are from noble families.
This reminded Chen Xuan of the Journey to the West. All the monsters with no background were beaten to death by Sun Wukong. Even those with backgrounds descended to earth and ate countless people. Their bones piled up in mountains, but they were only taken back as mounts without any punishment.
No.
"Forget it, this is none of my business, I'll just keep practicing."
Chen Xuan shook his head, not thinking about this.
He still has more than 10,000 taels of silver, so he doesn't have to worry about cultivation resources for the time being and can focus on cultivation.
In the blink of an eye.
Another month and a half has passed.
Chen Xuan trained all the bones in his body to the limit.
Next, there is the practice of nourishing the internal organs.
