Chapter 828: Moving Dylon
Ding Yi understood. He rubbed his fists and was eager to try.” I remember that he was very happy in the imperial court some time ago. He wanted to transfer us away and even suggested that you be transferred to the next province as the governor. I’ve always remembered this debt. The heavens are good at reincarnation. After waiting for so long, this day has finally come.”
“Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit,” Zhang Ronghua said seriously.
He got up from his chair and called out,”Let’s go!” Go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.”
The two of them opened the door and left.
This movement.
Bai Yichang immediately received the news. He thought for a long time but couldn’t guess anything. However, he was sure that Zhang Ronghua was up to no good. He was preparing a second fire and ordered people to watch in secret. If there was any news, he would report it immediately.
In the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
A lot of things had happened recently. First, it was Princess Changxi, the Nanman Kingdom’s envoy, and the Sixth Prince. After a series of shocking events, the security forces had been greatly strengthened. A group of fully armed soldiers had been transferred from the Golden Scale Mysterious Heaven Army to guard the surroundings. The commander was called Wei Shoucheng.
Since then, the safety index had increased exponentially, and there had never been a forced entry or prison break.
In the prison.
In the innermost cell near the corner.
The head of the prison, Old Bao, walked over with two jailers and stopped by the cell door. One of the jailers stepped forward and took out a key to open the door. Then, the two of them respectfully retreated.
Old Bao walked in with his hands behind his back and a cold glint in his eyes.
He looked at Liang Qi, who was sitting on the ground in a white prison uniform. His hair was disheveled, and his hands and feet were chained. Some of his clothes were already torn, and his skin was torn. Blood flowed out, and his wounds had not dried up. It seemed that he had been tortured quite badly.
The corners of his mouth curled up as a mocking expression appeared on his face.
Thinking of the instructions from the higher-ups, as long as they did not kill him, they could torture him to see if he had any “evidence” hidden in his hands. If they interrogated him, he would be transferred out of prison to serve in the Nancheng County Office.
Ever since he was locked up yesterday, he had not stopped torturing him. However, he was very stubborn and refused to admit it.
The more this was the case, the happier Old Bao was! Before Liang Qi was imprisoned, he was a high and mighty figure. He would treat any random fart as a ” treasure “. Now that he was reduced to a prisoner, listening to his screams every time he was tortured felt even better than going to the brothel. That wonderful feeling was indescribable.
He took a step forward and roughly kicked him to the ground. His upper body was slightly bent, revealing a smug face. He said arrogantly,” Do you still think you’re an adult of the Ministry of Works? Here, he was even worse than a dog! If you hand it over obediently, you can suffer less.”
Liang Qi didn’t say a word. He didn’t dare to show any resentment, but his heart was filled with anger. He hated that adulterous couple and Stylon to the core. He had been at their beck and call for so many years, but he would rather believe them than himself. He was even so ruthless, directly imprisoning him, removing him from his official position, and then ordering him to be punished. It looked like he was going to die!
Once Stylon confirmed that he had no evidence, he could easily guess what would happen to him. The men would be sent to the border as slaves, the women would be sent to the Education Bureau, and in a more serious case, they would be beheaded in the market. The Liang family would be destroyed just like that.
She lay on the ground like a zombie, motionless, as if she had not heard him.
Old Bao lost his patience. The higher-ups had told him that time was of the essence and that he had to have a result by noon at the latest. Otherwise, if he delayed the official business, he would not have a good ending. His eyes flickered with malice and his face was ruthless. He roughly stepped on his right hand.
“Ah…”
Liang Qi couldn’t endure the sudden impact. His ten fingers were connected to his heart, and intense pain spread into his heart. He screamed in pain, and his body tensed up into a straight line as he trembled violently.
“This is the last time. Are you going to tell me or not?” Old Bao narrowed his eyes.
Liang Qi endured the pain and remained silent.
“You like tough bones. Today, I’ll let you have a taste of ‘needle torture’.”
Needle Punishment: A specially made long needle, sharp, round, and very long, was smashed into the hands and feet with a hammer.
Those with weaker willpower could not take it anymore and begged for mercy.
Pa! Pa!
Old Bao clapped his hands. A jailer quickly walked in from outside and took out the tools he had prepared. He held a long needle and a hammer. Facing Liang Qi’s terrified gaze, he gestured at his body and finally stopped at his wrist.” If this needle goes down, this hand will be considered crippled. The pain will be ten times worse! As long as you tell me whether you have it or not, you can avoid this disaster.”
Liang Qi was in despair! He had never thought that there would be a day where he would not be defeated by his political enemies, but was taken down by his followers. Because of fear, he trembled again, but he could not speak. Otherwise, his family would also be in trouble.
Old Bao’s patience ran out, and his gaze became even more ruthless.
He raised his hammer and smashed it down violently.
Liang Qi didn’t dare to look and closed his eyes in fear. His heart was already dead and he was prepared to be tortured to death.
Whoosh!
A finger force tore through the air and destroyed the hammer and the long needle. At the same time, it knocked Old Bao to the ground. He rolled a few times in a sorry state and fell hard against the wall before stopping.
“Sir, are you alright?” The jailer’s expression changed.
She rushed forward and helped him up from the ground.
The jailer outside was already kneeling on the ground in fear. He did not dare to raise his head. There was a blue phoenix embroidered on his chest, and he was wearing a golden-red official robe. The lowest rank was at least third rank. He could not afford to offend such a big shot! A single sentence could decide the life and death of his entire family.
