After traveling for a day in [Station Station Fengbei], Zheng Xiu felt exhausted and fell asleep as soon as he went out.
Since being imprisoned, he has stayed up late almost every day, rarely getting a good night's sleep.
There was a snow shower at night, and the stove was burning in the prison. Zheng Xiu did not wake up, and he slept until dawn.
Early in the morning, there was a thick layer of frost on the stainless steel fence. The morning sun reflected the seven-color rose light on the frost crystals, adding a bit of festive flavor to this cold prison.
The cell door was pushed open suddenly. In fact, since Scar Lao Liu became the warden of Wangtian Prison, even the door lock has been faked and not locked. Perhaps Scar Lao Liu was also creating opportunities for Zheng Xiu to escape from prison.
, it’s just that someone doesn’t live up to expectations.
The sound of pushing the door made Zheng Xiu open his eyes from his sleep. He secretly wondered how sharp his reaction was. As soon as he opened his eyes, Zheng Xiu saw Scar Laoliu's scarred face, squeezing towards him.
"It's not good, it's not good, it's not good!"
Scar Lao Liu looked panicked and rushed in with a roar.
Zheng Xiu pushed Scar Laoliu's face away, frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
"It's over, it's over!" Scar Laoliu sweated on his forehead: "Mr. Zheng, we're in trouble now. A 'supervisory censor' appeared somewhere today and wants to check Tiantai's torture records for this month!"
Supervisory censor, subordinate to the Supervisory Yuan.
Founded by Emperor Daqian, it was initially similar to the Anti-corruption Department, with low official rank and wide authority.
Anyone who can be an official in the imperial city, big or small, all has some background. Either he is a son of luck, such as Jiang Gaoyi, or there is someone behind him, such as Scar Laoliu. No matter who it is, the Inspectorate will not dare to offend easily.
Even if you have no children, no one is an eighty-year-old mother, etc., once you offend someone, the implications are too great.
Over time, after the bloody storms of these years passed, the Inspectorate gradually became separated from the core official circles, and its symbolic significance was greater than its actual significance.
Everyone who is an official knows very well that it is enough to have this part of the Inspectorate, and it is not necessary for it to have any real effect.
Of course Lao Wei also knew that he had acquiesced in the status of the Inspectorate's mascot for so many years. But one day when the Inspectorate needed to be dispatched, it would be a gun.
Why is your presence suddenly so bright now?
There is something weird.
"Torture record?" Mr. Zheng, who was in prison for the first time, really didn't know that there was such a thing: "Then what?"
Scar Lao Liu said: "It's true! Lao Liu deliberately clipped the last page. That guy must have done it on purpose. He kept flipping through the thick torture account and didn't stop until he found Master Zheng's name!"
"I'm not..." Zheng Xiu just wanted to say that he was beaten once, but then he thought that that time seemed to have happened before the butterfly effect, so he asked again: "We found out, what does he want?"
Come to ask for money?
Mr. Zheng is not afraid anymore.
Scar Laoliu said with a guilty conscience: "It's written seventy-six times."
Zheng Xiu was stunned: "I was beaten seventy-six times?"
Why didn’t I know I was being tortured?
How is this a punishment?
Scar Lao Liu shook his head repeatedly: "Of course that is false! Lao Liu, I changed the torture records as soon as I took office."
"It's really yours!" Zheng Xiu gave Scar Lao Liu a thumbs up and praised.
"Here's the problem," Scar Laoliu said with a sad face, "That bitch doesn't believe it! He wants to find someone to use it himself!"
Being sentenced in prison does not seem to be a surprising thing, but Zheng Xiu is a little puzzled by the fact that he will not come sooner or later.
but.
Zheng Xiu thought for a moment, nodded, waved his sleeves, and stood in the cell waiting: "Let him come!"
"Ah this!"
Scar Laoliu was just about to say that you, Mr. Zheng, will be beaten to death for your thin skin and tender flesh, when a shout came from the stairs below: "Master Chen, the supervisory censor, is here!"
When Scar Lao Liu heard this, his expression changed, he struggled a little, and said anxiously: "No! That bastard is out of compliance with the rules! Lao Liu will go to Lao Jiang for help! This is the territory of the Criminal Department!"
Scar Lao Liu now holds the position of warden, and being able to renovate a small cell for him is already beyond the mark. Now, I don’t know who moved out the Supervisory Censor to investigate. There must be someone behind the scenes. Scar Lao Liu blindly rushed in without knowing the depth.
, will obviously become cannon fodder first.
So Zheng Xiu patted Scar Laoliu on the shoulder and smiled: "It doesn't matter, just let him hit me and I'll be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Xiu suddenly felt that the way he spoke was strange.
Fenglifengqi.
The supervising censor took the lead, and soon, several people came outside Wangtian Prison.
The leader was dressed in a splendid official robe, and it turned out to be Mr. Chen who was mentioned in the shouting. He looked about sixty years old, had a mustache, and a large mole on the left side of his face. The mole had long curly hair. He was thin and had evil eyebrows and rat eyes. At first glance, he was not a good thing.
He was followed by several subordinates. The most eye-catching one was a shirtless strong man with a strange iron cage on his head. Only his mouth and eyes were exposed. He was holding an iron rod with threads and stains on it.
It was covered in blood and was obviously an instrument of torture.
Master Chen, the supervisory censor, came up to take a look. He saw that Wangtian Prison had been transformed into a small villa as exquisite as a small villa. His eyes suddenly widened. Scar Laoliu's eyes flickered. Master Chen exclaimed twice and said with a smile: "You are worthy of being the Marquis of Zhonglie."
, the descendants of the Zheng family are so majestic."
"Master Chen?"
Zheng Xiu looked at the other party, and he was very sure that he did not have this person in his memory. Maybe he was a small person in the past, but because Zheng Xiu changed history, he now became a supervisory censor.
Sighing softly, Zheng Xiu secretly sighed that you have to thank me for being so majestic. But naturally he would not say this, so he calmly opened the cell door, staggered his position and said, "Please come in."
Mr. Chen snorted coldly, but did not enter. Instead, he coughed twice, took out a confession document from his sleeve, and opened his mouth to read.
It's nothing more than a clear world and a righteous path in heaven and earth. Princess Yurun died tragically and the murderer was at large. Now the network is vast and the truth is finally found out. The murderer is Zhongliehou Zhengxiu. In the end, Zhongliehou was inspired by the divine grace and confessed all his sins. He signed and stamped his name as evidence.
.
Oh haha.
Zheng Xiu raised his eyebrows, a very classic way of subduing and making a move.
After reading the eloquent, thousand-word confession document, Master Chen asked: "Zhonglie Hou Zheng Xiu, can you plead guilty?"
Zheng Xiu smiled and shook his head: "Let's not talk about the fact that according to Daqian law, serious crimes must be sentenced in court and under the mirror. Let's talk about my title of Marquis of Zhonglie. If you want to be sentenced to death, you need to go through the three-department trial. You have all kinds of procedures.
I won’t say much about it even if they are ignored. Zheng just wants to ask, is there any irrefutable proof?”
"If you plead guilty, it will be irrefutable proof."
"Then I don't recognize it."
Zheng Xiu said matter-of-factly.
Master Chen knew the process and was not surprised. He waved his hand and said: "Thirty beatings with the stick! Let's see if you can do it!"
What a familiar process!
Zheng Xiu also wondered why the prison was so comfortable. It turns out that the trick of beating him up was still a common practice, but since he was familiar with Scar Laoliu, he didn't do this trick on himself.
A quick calculation showed that it was already the third day that Zheng Xiu had been admitted to Wangtian Prison. According to the procedure, it seemed to be quite timely.
Zheng Xiu then held the fence with both hands and prepared to stand and be tortured.
"Get down!"
Mr. Chen said angrily.
"The Holy One has decreed that as long as I, Marquis Zhonglie, am not in the court, I will not even kneel down. Do you want me to lie down?"
Mr. Chen slapped his head and seemed to have forgotten the matter in such a hurry. He didn't even kneel to the Holy One. He just spoke so frankly that he had used his official power. If Zhonglie Hou Zhen fell down...hiss, Mr. Chen secretly took a breath of cold air.
Taking what he just said as fart, he winked at the executioner repeatedly: "Then stand! Stand and beat!"
The executioner, who was nearly two meters tall and covered with tendons, carried a stick, lowered his head and entered the prison, standing behind Mr. Zheng.
Watching this battle made Scar Laoliu very frightened. This early morning surprise inspection frightened him. Did the other party really want to beat Mr. Zheng to death?
This meal is coming early and late, so why is it at this time?
Scar Laoliu had always thought that Zheng Xiu's imprisonment was just a show, and someone would release him sooner or later, but he never expected that someone would come for real.
Could it be that something is really going to happen to the Zheng family?
Or is it going to change outside?
The executioner raised the iron rod high, his muscles as hard as steel and with clear lines.
"beat!"
call!
The executioner laughed ferociously, swung his stick down, whistling in the wind, and greeted Zheng Xiu from behind.
Zheng Xiu originally wanted to use [Unbreakable] to survive, but he had a sudden idea and temporarily activated his ability to use [Projection].
The incarnation projected on Zheng Xiu at this moment is [Macho Man Zheng Shan]. Zheng Xiu is facing outward, and he is not afraid that a few people outside the prison will notice the change in Zheng Xiu's temperament.
Snapped!
The crisp sound of bones swelling mixed with the sound of sticks hitting muscles. Zheng Xiu suddenly raised his head to check the raven's movements.
Among the circling ravens, some almost noticed something strange and called Zheng Xiu a few times.
Not much of a reaction!
feasible!
[Your body has been tortured and tempered, and your physique has gained a little experience.]
This hard blow with the stick made Zheng Xiu smile. It turned out that it was really a punishment!
The combination of [Unbreakable] and [Zheng Shan] is like a macho man wearing a gauntlet, like a hoop on iron, making it indestructible. Not only does this stick not hurt, it also feels like a big sword.
But in the eyes of Mr. Chen and Scar Laoliu, there was something different.
When the stick struck down, Zheng Xiu suddenly raised his head. It looked as if he was in severe pain, and his body straightened instantly, which was very miserable.
Bang bang bang bang!
The executioner carried out the order mechanically and struck with a stick, causing Mr. Zheng to lie on the fence with his back bent.
Master Zheng didn't scream at first, but at the sixth stroke, Master Zheng screamed.
"Ah~"
Scar Laoliu was dumbfounded. The rolling rolling had even penetrated his clothes and made his back red. Master Zheng could bear it so well.
"What a solid man!" Scar Lao Liu had tears in his eyes, feeling inexplicably moved.
Mr. Chen felt a little strange. Listening to this scream, how could there be so many ghosts?
"Slow down! Leave someone behind!"
Just when the executioner was about to strike the eighth blow, a voice came from Wangtian prison.
"Hmph! Who dares to lynch Marquis Zhonglie without the approval of the Minister of Punishment?"
Mr. Chen looked shocked! Didn't he secretly think that he had already agreed on this earlier? How could this be staged?
Scar Laoliu was also shocked.
Who is coming again?
Why is Wangtian Prison so busy today?
Zheng Xiu was even more shocked.
Shocked and anxious.
He was having a great time increasing his experience level, but only after he was hit with the fifth stick did he remember to scream twice to show off.
Who the fuck is so ignorant as to bother me to gain experience?
A man with a sinister look on his face, but pretending to be gentle and generous, wearing a luxurious robe trimmed with gold, stepped up the stairs with long strides.
People came one after another, making the small platform outside Wangtian Prison seem a bit crowded.
I don’t know what Mr. Chen is thinking, but at least Scar Laoliu and Zheng Xiu were surprised by the person who came.
It's His Royal Highness the Second Prince!
The stick stopped.
The executioner will no longer use torture.
Zheng Xiu, who was idle, looked back at the "anxious" second prince and the "shocked" Lord Chen.
Is this coincidence a little too much?
You fucking used my flesh and skin, Zheng Xiu, to stage a cruel trick?
Isn’t it enough to just sing the oboe?
If I, Zheng Xiu, weren't a bit capable, these sticks could really beat Zheng Xiu up.
