In the deepest room on the lowest floor of the Eighth Level Blood Prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Le Yu was reading a book with the help of a ray of light leaking from the ceiling.
Suddenly, footsteps came from the door, and then a small window opened on the wall. The people outside first took away the chicken rice that Le Yu had already eaten, and then brought in a bowl of fragrant noodles and a bowl of clear soup.
.
"Is it time to cook?" Le Yu closed the book, went over to take a deep sniff, and raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect that I could also eat the special beef brisket noodles with fried sauce here. Thank you for your hard work.
."
The jailer outside did not react at all. He had no intention of humiliating Le Yu, nor did he intend to please Le Yu. He closed the window and left directly. Le Yu was not surprised by this. He mixed the fried sauce and Yi noodles thoroughly, and mixed the noodles with the beef brisket.
Put it in your mouth, and the delicious aroma of the fried sauce, the juiciness of the beef brisket, and the chewy texture of the noodles will burst out between your lips and teeth at the same time. Then take a sip of the fragrant pork rib soup, which is sweet and relieves greasiness.
This is his second supper.
He has been detained here for two days.
When the cell door closed, Le Yu knew that he would never be able to leave here alone.
As the oldest Yanjing Prison, the Eighth Level Blood Prison can even be traced back to the time of Emperor Gaozu. Because the Huiyao people are thirsty for light, just locking the prisoners in a dark basement can make them irrecoverably weak and even cause them to die.
It makes them severely claustrophobic.
I don't know how many arrogant warriors were locked up in the basement for several months. When they came out, they turned into docile cripples like sheep. They couldn't even turn off the lights to sleep at night.
Therefore, the above-ground prisons basically only hold prisoners with minor crimes and death row prisoners - they are all going to die soon, so I won't bother to torture you - and those who are imprisoned in the Eighth Level Blood Prison are basically for the purpose of thoroughly punishing the criminals.
Physical and mental transformation' can be said to be the real 'death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be spared'.
However, Yanjing is actually the only one with facilities like the Eighth Level Blood Prison. If it were in the outer districts, the most heinous criminals would be sentenced to death, and the local finances would not have the resources to support the prisoners for more than ten years. Therefore, the outer districts
There are very few criminals serving sentences of more than ten years, so there is no need for facilities to hold them.
Due to complicated interests in Yanjing, sometimes aristocratic families are at odds with each other, and sometimes there are partisan struggles between the government and the opposition, so there will be many 'rare criminals' and 'epic criminals' who are not guilty of death but are sentenced to heavy prison terms.
','Legendary Criminal'.
But it is an imperial city after all, and killing everyone is a taboo in party strife - after all, it has been thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. If you kill others today, others will definitely kill you in the future - so being imprisoned in the Blood Prison is a matter of all kinds.
It is a kind of retirement club for political prisoners and warriors. Sometimes when the governors from other districts encounter such 'high-level criminals', they will be sent to the Eighth Level Blood Prison to report their performance to the Ministry of Punishment.
The novel "The Bloody Marquis" that Le Yu just read is a story about the Eighth Level Blood Prison. It tells the story of a young man who was wrongly accused and fell into the deepest part of the Eighth Level Blood Prison (which is Le Yu's room), and then met Jiu Yu.
A story about a legendary criminal who learned all their skills, found an opportunity to escape from prison, and used his skills outside to take revenge and open up a harem.
To be honest, Le Yu is a pleasure to watch, but the content in it is basically false. The most serious mistake is that there may be legendary criminals at the bottom of the Eighth Blood Prison, but no one can learn anything from them.
ability.
Because, in the lowest level of the Eighth Level Blood Prison, everyone is deaf-mute. Not only the criminals, but also the jailers.
After living here for two days, Le Yu didn't hear anyone's voice except his own.
The eighth level of blood prison is called the ‘silent room’.
The first step for any prisoner who is imprisoned here is to cut off the base of the tongue and destroy the cochlea. The prisoner may be hysterical at first and may think of ways to commit suicide, but when they discover that other people are also deaf-mute, even the jailer is also deaf-mute.
, this comfort that 'I'm not the only one suffering' will give them the courage to live on.
After they get over the initial pain, the following days will become easier and easier. Because the deaf-mute people have developed a unique way of communication here, which is not just gestures. Sometimes they can communicate just by looking at them.
Complex information exchange. Human beings are highly adaptable creatures, especially Huiyao people.
As time goes by, the prisoners in the silence not only do not become cripples, but they even become tougher and braver because of their disabilities, and gain the will to live in the silence and darkness.
Then, they can't leave here.
This is the cruelty of the 'silent room': at first, you will resist it; later, you will get used to it; and finally, you will be unable to live without it.
Outside, they are incomplete deaf-mute people; but in silence, they are equal 'normal people'.
At first, they often think that they can break free from the swallowing of silence and escape from the torture of the eight levels of blood prison. However, every effort they make only pushes themselves deeper into silence.
The people imprisoned here are basically complete losers who are unwilling to be helped by all forces, or are so hated by countless people that even the death penalty is not enough to repay their sins, so they are sentenced to "the punishment of eternal silence"
'. Therefore, one who does not have a certain status is not qualified to come to the Quiet Room. Among the people Le Yu knows, Cha Huan may be the only one who is qualified to come here to retire.
There is another point. Although Le Yu didn't mention it when he first read the information from the Ministry of Punishments, based on the limited contacts in the past two days, Le Yu believed that those jailers should also be prisoners.
After all, who in the right mind would be willing to be a deaf-mute jailer? But the prisoners would definitely be willing, because they realize that they can no longer leave here, and they are naturally willing to take the initiative to maintain order in the silence.
Although this is a bloody prison, it is also their only destination.
However, Le Yu was just a tourist passing by, and he didn't care whether the nursing facilities in Silent Room were sound or not, but the environment in Silent Room cut off all possibilities of escape for him.
The only light source in the room was a ray leaking from the ceiling, which made it difficult to read a book. It was impossible to use it to perform light explosions, not to mention that the cell door was made of steel and cast iron.
Everyone in the silence was deaf-mute, and Le Yu couldn't communicate with them at all. As for writing... Although there was paper, there was no pen. Could it be that Le Yu wrote in blood?
And it's useless even if Le Yu writes a blood letter - these deaf-mute people don't want to leave here at all. They have long accepted their fate and will stay together until they grow old.
Faced with such a group of people who have no desires or desires, what can Le Yu do to impress them?
Maybe unintentionally, maybe intentionally, but the Eighth Level Blood Prison really caught Le Yu off guard.
After eating the noodles, he went back to bed and planned to continue reading. However, for some reason, the protagonist's wonderful pretentious plot suddenly became boring in Le Yu's eyes. He looked at the bookshelf and planned to change to another book.
Cha Shiyin said before that he would clean out an emperor's suite for him. The emperor didn't know, but Huang was definitely pornographic enough - in addition to the most popular popular novels such as "The Legend of the God of Fire", there were even books written by Mingyueyan.
The eighteen classics in the "Celebrity Collection" and "Helm of Dominance" series, many of them are cultural treasures that you have never even heard of, but the titles make your blood boil.
Just reading these books that interest Le Yu would take more than three days.
There was food, drink, and books to read, and the surroundings were quiet and no one was making any noise. No matter how you think about it, the best and only thing Leyu can do at the moment is to calm down and read a book, and let time pass by in silence and darkness.
When he steps out of the eighth level of blood prison, the country will crawl at his feet, the queen will obey his orders, and the court will become his tool.
When the time comes, Le Yu's order will be Hui Yao's destiny.
With power and status, there are so many things Le Yu can do: he can vigorously develop maritime trade and encourage his subjects to go global and not get involved in the glory; he can invent hot air balloons, invent telephones, invent refrigerators and air conditioners.
; He can also reform the political system, make "Future Echoes" he wrote become a reality, and play reality as a P Club game; he can even ask Huiyao to help him find the Well of Gods and Demons and other secret realms of heaven and earth...
He doesn't have to do anything to just sit back and enjoy the results.
However, it happens.
He couldn't calm down.
Because he has already eaten his second dinner, tomorrow will be the third day, and it will also be the day Shuiyun ascends the throne. He is about to reach the top, and Shuiyun will also lose his future.
As Cha Shiyin said, he could find 10,000 reasons to convince himself. But the ice blood flowing in his veins meant that Le Yu would never be able to deceive himself in this life.
Why do you need to lose something in exchange for something gained? It’s unreasonable even if you think about it.
