In the cell of the Xicheng Branch of the Inspection Department.
Luo Xing was given preferential treatment because of his status as "Nanya" and was assigned to a cell with a hay floor.
There was also a straw mat and a quilt with exposed cotton wool, exuding a musty smell.
This is basically standard equipment in prisons.
You're already in jail, you're an adult, and I still want to have good conditions for you. It's not like you're traveling and staying in an inn. It would be nice to have some shelter from the wind and rain.
Some people don't even have a place to stay after a heavy snowfall. What else do you think?
"You are already a prisoner, why are you not worried at all?" Ji Yu'er asked in Luo Xing's mind. All his belongings were searched.
Especially the "Lotus Guanyin" jade pendant that he personally carved.
After this thing is confiscated, there is a high probability that it will not be returned to his hands, because all the yamen in the world are so dark that nothing eaten can be vomited back.
It's just that it's hard to say whether the inspection department can swallow his stuff.
He is not the kind of person who has no following and no backing. If an ordinary citizen were arrested today, he might really be doomed.
Although the jade pendant was taken away, Ji Yuer would not cut off contact with him because of this, because they signed a "spiritual companionship" contract.
The jade pendant only gave her a temporary shelter and shelter. As long as she exceeded a certain distance, she had to return to Luo Xing.
"Why are you so anxious? I have to figure out who is behind my back. I always have to know who the enemy is." Luo Xing said in his mind.
"I just eavesdropped on the conversation between the chief minister named Zhou and his clerk. It seems that there is someone behind the chief minister Zhou this time, and I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you."
"I revealed my identity as Nan Ya and they arrested me. Do I need to say that?"
"It seems that your officer is too young, and the people in the inspection department don't give you any face at all."
"Face is earned by oneself, not given by others. I want to leave, but can this cell trap me?" Luo Xing retorted.
"Just blow it."
"Please help me see if all the people I injured have been released?" Luo Xing ordered.
"It goes without saying that when you were sent to the cell, they were politely sent out through the back door."
"I still have some scruples and don't dare to fight openly."
"Are you praising them, or are you looking for comfort for yourself?" Ji Yuer said angrily.
"Help me monitor the division chief surnamed Zhou. He is the biggest in this Xicheng branch. Without his nod in this matter, the people below would not dare to make the decision." Luo Xing ordered.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him for you. As long as he's in the Xicheng branch office, he can't escape my eyes no matter what he wants to do." Ji Yu'er said.
"Thanks a lot."
As time passed by, the sky visible outside the only vent in the cell slowly became dark.
Luo Xing had nothing to do, so he meditated and practiced in the cell. Time was wasted if it was not used.
Nanya also has information surveillance in the city. As long as Ye Liuli knows what happened in Luoma Lane in Xishi City, he will know immediately that he has been arrested.
Based on Ye Liuli's behavior, she would definitely understand that she was caught intentionally. There is still a tacit understanding on this point.
He remembered that Ye Liuli said that the head of the Inspection and Inspection Department was from the Tianlan Sect, and the power struggle within the Inspection and Inspection Department was even more acute, between the Tianlan Sect and the Zhenwuyuan and several other forces, although the Tianlan Sect still had the upper hand.
, but Tianlan Sect’s power in the Luojing court has been greatly reduced over the years, and its control over the Inspection General Department is naturally also greatly reduced.
The Inspection General Department also has two deputy chiefs, one is Gu Shenyan who was born in the Zhenwu Academy, and the other is Si Yu who is from the Beast Control Valley.
These two are both first-grade great masters.
In terms of apparent power of experts, the Inspection Department is still above Nan Ya, but in fact, Nan Ya's power is far more terrifying than that of the Inspection Department.
In addition, the heads of the state inspection departments and the four major branches in Luojing are also held by elders from various sects.
The Tianlan Sect controls the Dongcheng branch, and most of the people in the branch are disciples of the Tianlan Sect or disciples of sects that have good relations with the Tianlan Sect.
The Xicheng branch is from Zhenwuyuan, and the Beicheng branch is headed by an elder from Baihua Palace. However, Beicheng belongs to the Imperial City, so Baihua Palace is not the most powerful in the Beicheng branch, while the Nancheng branch is a first-grade sect.
Elder Jianmen serves as the head of the branch.
In addition to the Dongcheng branch, the capitals of the three major branches in the west, south and north are rotating and not fixed.
This is the prerogative of Tianlan Sect to control the Inspection Department.
Because the inspection general office is in Dongcheng, it is impossible for the Dongcheng branch to be handed over to anyone other than Tianlan Sect.
The internal power struggle within the Inspection and Inspection Department is much more complicated than that in Nanya, because it involves the voice and interests of many Jianghu sects.
Therefore, the internal competition has always been very fierce. You keep an eye on me and I keep an eye on you, because once you occupy a high position in the Inspection Department, you can take care of the children of your sect within the area you control. This is a real benefit.
.
In addition, there are many indescribable benefits and privileges, which is one of the reasons why various sects are flocking to them.
If he had to choose between Tianlan Sect and Zhenwuyuan, he would choose Tianlan Sect without hesitation, because he had no good impression of Zhenwuyuan, especially the aloof and extremely hypocritical leader of Jiangyuan.
It depends on whether Ye Liuli can seize this opportunity.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat..." the jailer shouted while knocking on the door frame. It's not that prisoners have to eat while in prison, but prison food is definitely not delicious.
"Captain Luo, your meal is here."
The cell door opened, and the jailer handed in a large bowl containing a large bowl of white rice, meat and vegetables.
Prisoners have never been given such good food in this prison, unless they are decapitated, which is considered preferential treatment.
Luo Xing did not respond.
He knew the darkness in the prison and that any abnormal food must not be eaten. Although his status was different, it was understandable that the inspection department would give him preferential treatment, but he would not eat this meal.
Caution is the boat.
It is common for boats to capsize in the gutter.
He didn't plan to stay in this cell for long. He wouldn't starve to death without eating one or two meals, so he wouldn't eat that meal at all.
However, just because he doesn't eat doesn't mean that there are no "people" in this cell to eat. This cell is built on the dark side, so naturally there are many little guys living in this filthy place.
Food that prisoners don't eat naturally makes it cheaper for them.
Not to mention that Luo Xing's bowl contains not only rice but also meat, which naturally attracts many little ones to share the food.
The little ones were well fed, but they didn't go far before they fell down and soon became silent.
When Luo Xing saw this scene, his heart beat wildly. Fortunately, he had taken precautions a long time ago and had no intention of eating that bowl of rice. If he had eaten it, he would have died of the poison just like these "rats".
His life was cut short.
What a vicious scheming, this is clearly a serial scheme. If he can't be solved in Luoma Alley, then he will be sent to the prison of the Xicheng Inspection Department to be solved.
As long as you bribe a jailer, poison your food, and then arrange for the jailer to disappear completely, everything will be solved.
The technique is not new, but it is simple, direct, and effective, making it almost impossible to prevent.
Fortunately, I didn't plan to touch anything in the inspection department from the beginning and was cautious, so I escaped this disaster.
"Look, people are really chasing after you and won't let go of a step." Ji Yu'er said sarcastically.
"Shut up."
"The rage of the impotent."
Luo Xing was too lazy to pay attention to her, walked over, cleaned up the corpses of the rats, and hid them, while he pretended to lie down after eating the food and being poisoned.
Under normal circumstances, the person who poisoned the poison will definitely come over to see if he is successful, and this kind of thing will generally not be done to others.
Because only if you confirm it with your own eyes can you believe that many people have this common problem.
This involves knowledge of criminal psychology.
The sound of conversation drifted into my ears.
"Mr. Guo, the meal delivered at 1:00 a.m. is already 3:00 a.m., so it should be finished."
"Well, take me to see it."
"Mr. Guo, you are a noble person. That kind of place is too dirty. You'd better not go there. I can do the work for you."
"No, I must see him die in front of me." Mr. Guo said.
"Okay, since you want to see it, then come with me." The respectful and flattering voice came again.
Of course, these words are far away and cannot be heard by ordinary people, but how can Luo Xing's sensitivity to the six senses be comparable to that of ordinary people?
The conversation between the two people was heard word by word in his ears, and the voice of Mr. Guo was still very familiar. It was Mr. Guo who had stopped him in Luoma Alley and was the first to attack him.
Before he could find it, he had already delivered it to his door.
"Open the door!"
"Mr. Guo, don't dirty your shoes because they are dirty inside. It will look the same from the outside..."
"Do you want me to say it a second time?"
"Yes, Mr. Guo, if you want to see it, then go see it." The jailer quickly took out the key and opened the cell door.
Two people came in, carrying a lantern. The leader was Mr. Guo. The other one was wearing the clothes of a jailer in the inspection department, but the cuffs were different from those of ordinary jailers. He should be a prison chief.
No wonder he could easily poison the food. This was an easy task for the prison bosses. It seemed that he had done such things many times before.
There are a few people who work in this kind of place who are clean and truly conscientious and would never engage in this kind of livelihood.
These people are basically inherited from father to son, passed down from generation to generation.
This is really collusion between internal and external parties, but I don't know if it has anything to do with Chief Zhou. Luo Xing held his breath.
"Look, I'm already out of breath." The prison boss came in and kicked Luo Xing directly.
"Let's check it out." Mr. Guo ordered, covering his mouth and nose.
When the prison head reluctantly leaned down, he stretched out his hand to feel Luo Xing's breath. He probably saw too many dead people and he was not afraid at all.
"Look, I'm not breathing at all..." As soon as the cell leader finished speaking, Luo Xing, who had closed his eyes tightly, suddenly opened his eyes and grinned at him.
"Ghost!" The cell leader was so frightened that he fell backwards, his whole body shaking like chaff, and he fainted from the fright.
The smell of urine spurted out from between his buttocks, and this guy was actually incontinent.
Mr. Guo was also so frightened that he just stood there, his lips trembling, his pupils dilated, and he couldn't speak clearly: "You, are you a human or a ghost?"
"What do you think, Mr. Guo?" Luo Xing grinned, indescribably charming under the dim light.
