The broadsword falling at the street corner and the blood splattering seemed like a stone thrown into the pool of water in the capital city. The capital city, which was already approaching the end of the year, became boiling.

The streets and alleys were full of people discussing this matter. Many people who had seen the beheading that day proudly told the story to those who had not seen it, and the atmosphere was lively.

"You haven't seen it. The charges are one after another. Not to mention beheading, it's not an exaggeration to say he is implicated!"

"Nonsense, the law of this dynasty says: If it is not the ten most deadly sins, it is not allowed to be punished consecutively! Could it be..."

"Stop guessing, plotting rebellion and forcing me into the palace!"

"hiss......"

People who didn't understand gasped, no wonder they were beheaded on the streets. What's more, those people don't commit any trivial things, and they are as good as the nine tribes in every matter.

"How come it's just a beheading? It can't be justified for treason against less than three clans, right?"

"Hey, being beheaded is an accomplice. The real one... I heard people say he is the third prince!"

"No wonder......"

Someone in the crowd thought for a moment, wrapped up his cotton clothes tightly, and asked tremblingly, "Is it just treason and no other charges?"

"Yes, quite a few of them are greedy for money. They don't let go of any military expenses or work money. Do you know how many acres of land a fifth-grade official occupies in his hometown?"

"300 acres?"

"Eight hundred acres of fertile land!"

"Deserves to be killed!"

...

Although the discussion was extremely intense, Zhao couldn't hear any of this. At this moment, he was still walking towards the yard as usual, carrying a food box.

He had been busy all day with various finishing matters today, which made him look a little tired and a little irritable.

Who doesn’t have trouble working? Especially the odds and ends work, it seems like it will never be finished. If I didn’t have a good attitude, I would have overturned the table long ago!

"There's a lot of trouble..."

Fortunately, it's over for today and we won't encounter these annoying things tomorrow.

After eating and drinking in a hurry, I poured water to take a bath. Zhao almost fell asleep in the steaming water. It seems that he is indeed very tired and needs to sleep!

You must keep your spirits up!

Early the next morning, after washing up, I put on my official uniform and walked to Zhao Prison. Let's light the mao first, then fill our stomachs in the kitchen, and then go back to the check-in room to drink tea. Whether intentionally or not, we hang out for a long time.

Halfway through Shenshi, he put on his big cloak and went out, heading towards the prison of the capital.

"Sir." The jailer guarding the gate came over when he saw Zhao, and he quickly bent down and saluted.

After nodding, he said calmly, "Come and bring someone up, go and inform the prefect and the general judge personally."

"It's adults, little one, go right now."

The place under the eaves could only cover the snow, so Zhao simply stood under the door and waited patiently for the jailer to return.

Not long after, the prefect, whom we had met once, hurried over. He stopped and before he could catch his breath, he smiled and said, "Master Zhao is here in person. Which prisoner are you interrogating? I'll just call a carriage to send him there. It's no use." I want you to go there yourself.”

He didn't dare to neglect the people in front of him. He had just beheaded a few people on the street in the past few days, and he didn't want to find him guilty next time. I don’t want to be resented for something trivial. I heard that Zhao Prison is not a place for people.

As for mentioning someone, well, just mention it if you like. Anyway, you are sitting in the prison and Zhaojing is also sitting.

"This feeling is so good!"

"Go, get a carriage!" the prefect quickly ordered the jailer.

Then he asked with a smile, "I don't know who Mr. Zhao is talking about? I can't comment on this. It's best to tell me what you have committed. If you don't tell the truth, it's wrong."

Zhao nodded in agreement, whispered in his ear, "I don't know what he committed. The people above want him to die, and I am just a worker. The prefect is well-informed, you see he committed a crime What's going on?"

above? The prefect suddenly turned around, which offended people. I guess the person in front of me is not offended. I guess I have to take two steps up. If I take two steps, then...

Thinking of this, the prefect broke into a cold sweat. He swallowed and pointed upwards with his finger.

Although he didn't understand what he meant, Zhao nodded calmly and pointed.

"Hiss..." The prefect's mind was racing so fast that white smoke was coming out. He kept racking up charges, and finally settled on stealing military supplies.

"The prefect is really knowledgeable and talented!"

Seeing that the other party was satisfied, the prefect breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, and asked, "I wonder who you want, sir?"

"Yu Shouyi."

This, this, this! Kuye, why do you want this person? How could he steal something like that? Aren’t you digging a hole for yourself? You didn’t think carefully!

The prefect, whose expression changed drastically, couldn't help but regret in his heart. Damn it, this was a bad year, and all sorts of bad things happened to him!

"Two adults." The jailer jumped out of the carriage and reported back.

"Put the prisoner into the car and I'll take him away..." Zhao waved his hand gently.

The jailer just wanted to go in, but was stopped by the prefect. He turned around and said to Zhao with a smile, "Sir, why don't you go in and see for yourself?"

As he spoke, he winked at the jailer crazily.

"Why should I go in? You can just sneak away, could it be..." This made Zhao a little curious, can this place still contain masters?

Probably not! Zhao stretched out his hand and touched the wall. There was nothing special. That's it? I feel like I can't even shut myself up.

"Yes, this prisoner is a bit special. Lao He, please accompany Mr. Zhao to take him down." The prefect responded quickly and reached out to pull the jailer next to him.

He turned around and said apologetically, "Mr. Zhao, there is something urgent at the yamen, so I'm sorry to be with you!"

"Okay, let's go." Since he said he had something urgent to do, Zhao Jue didn't care too much. It was normal to have some trivial things at this time.

The prison was different from Zhaoyu. It was all built on the ground and there were not many cells. Lao He took out the key and opened the door of the cell.

He asked, "Who does the lord want to interrogate?"

"Yu Shouyi."

Lao He's pupils immediately became larger, and the look he gave Zhao Jue immediately changed from flattery to fear. The Jinyiwei were still cruel. They had made people like that, but they still wanted to kill them all. No wonder they were called ghosts!

Ghosts are more human than you!

"Why? There is no such person? Or was he transferred away?" At this time, Zhao was already a little unhappy. The prefect was at the same level as him, so it was understandable for him to shirk responsibility.

You are directly in charge of this place, and you are still shirking responsibility. Where to push it? On the prisoners? Being smart!

"If you have anything to say, report it honestly!"

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Zhao Jue couldn't help but roar. He didn't understand at all. Why was he still hesitating at this point?

"Nothing unusual, sir. Yu Shouyi is in the innermost left cell. I won't go in with you..." Lao He lowered his head and stared at his toes, speaking carefully, but with a hint of resentment in his words.

But Zhao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked in. He wanted to see what magic this prisoner had!

He walked in continuously until the end, then stopped and turned to look at the cell on the left.

He was immediately shocked by the scene inside.

How could this be a person?

It's clearly a stick!
