Chapter 27: Mentioning People

Sun Shangshu glanced at him coldly.

Huang Langzhong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He lowered his head and walked over in a panic.

"Sir, the incident happened suddenly. I didn't have time to get the arrest warrant, mainly because this person is a martial artist and the nephew of Yu Daowei Xu Pingzhi. He has the ability to escape from the crime." Huang Langzhong thought that the big mouth of the Shangshu was only six feet away from me, but I could pass the blame in 0.01 seconds.

"Mr. Zhou sent his entourage to submit the lawsuit, saying that a thief beat him in the street and said that he would make his blood splash five steps..."

"It's urgent, I decided to arrest the man first to prevent him from escaping."

With the white-clothed people from the Si Tianjian and the great scholars from Yunlu Academy present, he didn't dare to lie, and there was no need to lie.

The fight between the two sides in the street was originally a matter of fifty strokes of the cane.

Except for not having an arrest warrant, he did everything according to the rules. In the Ministry of Justice, there are many examples of going back to make up arrest warrants.

The white-clothed men of the Imperial Observatory frowned.

Li Mubai and Zhang Shen looked at each other, the former stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The sage said: A gentleman should be honest."

Plop, plop, plop...

Doctor Huang felt his heart beating violently, and the blood rushed to his face. He was ashamed of lying and felt ashamed.

He hated himself for lying, and his mind was protesting fiercely, protesting his despicable behavior.

His mouth was also angry and broke away from his will, and he spoke uncontrollably: "Mr. Zhou wants to kill Xu Qi'an and let him die in the prison of the Ministry of Justice to vent his hatred! I, I... want to do Mr. Zhou a favor."

Comfortable... Doctor Huang sat on the ground with sweat on his forehead.

There was an uproar around him. There were more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Justice. They looked at Doctor Huang with disdain, contempt, gloating, and shaking their heads and sighing.

"You are despicable and shameless. I will write a memorial to impeach you tomorrow." The Ministry of Justice's Censor immediately became excited.

Fifth Grade Moral Realm..... Minister Sun remained calm, glanced at Huang Langzhong, whose face was pale and eyes were dull, and ordered his officials: "Pass my message and release the man."

...

With the sound of shackles rattling, Xu Qiyan was taken to the interrogation room. Master Zhou changed into an indigo robe, which was thick but not ugly.

He sat with a big horse and a golden sword, one foot on the chair, and the ear that was cracked by Xu Qiyan was wrapped in white fine cloth.

A thin old man in a blue gown with a golden edging on the collar and cuffs stood beside him, staring at Xu Qiyan with sharp pupils, not hiding his murderous intentions.

In addition, there were two jailers standing next to a pile of torture instruments, looking at Xu Qiyan with gloating.

The young man in brocade clothes waved his hand, and a jailer took out a piece of paper from his bosom and threw it in front of Xu Qi'an.

"You have two options now," said Mr. Zhou with a look of disdain: "Plead guilty and sign; try all the torture instruments here, and then plead guilty and sign."

Xu Qi'an took a look, and the content of the confession was roughly: Xu Qi'an, a fast hand in Changle County Court, had an argument with Zhou Li on the street, and he wanted to kill him, so he relied on force to hurt him and seriously injured Zhou Li. Then the police arrived and arrested Xu Qi'an...

He committed a crime in the street, and the other party was the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If I sign and sign, the lightest punishment will be exile. Zhou's operation may sentence me to be beheaded in a vegetable market... This is leaving no way for me to survive.

Xu Qiyan retracted his gaze and looked at the young man in brocade clothes: "Sign and seal, and suffer less physical pain?"

Young Master Zhou raised the corner of his mouth, as if playing with an ant, and said jokingly: "No, I give you a choice: Sign first and then be punished. Or be punished first and then sign."

Several jailers laughed.

Xu Qiyan's face was gloomy.

The more he acted like this, the happier Young Master Zhou was. He liked others to hate him, but he was helpless.

"Tsk, tsk, scary, really scary." Zhou Li said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, are the shackles strong? What if this thief suddenly gets angry and kills people?"

The thin old man smiled and said: "Don't worry, young master, it's just an ant. I can kill it with a slap."

"Then I'm relieved." Zhou Li stood up, walked to the pile of torture instruments, and talked freely: "There are 24 kinds of torture instruments here, each of which can make people extremely painful, but it can't hurt life. It is a powerful weapon for torture."

"I won't kill you, that would be too easy for you."

"I heard that there are as many as 108 kinds of torture instruments in the night watchman's prison. No one who was locked in it came out alive."

"It's a pity that you don't have the luck to enjoy them. Tsk, tsk, what a pity."

Xu Qian'an inevitably looked at the torture instruments, including a chair covered with nails, rusty steel needles, and an iron saw that had turned dark red due to years of blood... There were so many things, and each one was cruel and bloody.

Xu Qian'an's throat rolled and his face turned pale.

According to the time, Miss Caiwei from the Sitianjian should have received the notice from Captain Wang... Why hasn't she arrived yet... Are they unwilling to save me?

No, the book I wrote is very tempting. Any alchemist should feel uncomfortable after reading it, and can't wait to read the next content.

If you don't come to save me, even if I can survive in the end, I will be useless after using this set of torture instruments... Xu Qian'an's forehead began to sweat.

He is a normal person and will feel fear.

While talking, Master Zhou was observing his expression and was very satisfied when he saw this.

This kind of game, like playing with mice, made him immersed in it and enjoy it very much. He continued, "I heard that you were raised by your second uncle Xu Pingzhi since you were a child, and the relationship must be very good."

"Well, I have reason to suspect that this matter was planned by you and your second uncle."

He checked me... Xu Qi'an's forehead veins bulged.

"This... Mr. Zhou, it's not written in the confession." A yamen runner said in embarrassment.

"Idiot, just write a new one." Another jailer scolded.

"Then what are you waiting for, write it here, write it in front of him." Mr. Zhou laughed wildly.

The laughter echoed in the interrogation room. Suddenly, the iron door of confinement was opened, and a jailer led a green-robed official in.

The green-robed official took a glance and saw that Xu Qi'an had no blood on his body and was intact, and he breathed a sigh of relief silently.

"Take him away for me."

Finally, it's finally here... Xu Qi'an was relieved.

Several jailers in the interrogation room subconsciously looked at Master Zhou.

"Sir, we are interrogating the prisoner." Master Zhou looked away from the green robe that symbolized the fifth rank and stared at the official's face with a somewhat unhappy look.

The green-robed official smiled sarcastically and said, "This is the Ministry of Justice, not the Ministry of Revenue. Master Zhou wants to interrogate the prisoner, go back to the Ministry of Revenue, if the Ministry of Revenue also manages the prison."

After that, he shouted, "You bastards, didn't you listen to me? Take you away."
