"That's impossible!" Ji Hyun-woon said.
"Why not?" Ji Yuyu said.
"Because they had a grudge before!" Ji Hyun-woon said in a low voice, "Uncle, you should understand it even if I don't say it. Don't beat around the bush."
Ji Yuyu smiled disapprovingly, "They may have a grudge, but I don't think Lone Eagle is a man who acts on impulse. He is a Super Arrester promoted by me. It's his duty to catch criminals. Yan Li is suspected of killing the whole Jian Clan. He should cooperate with the investigation of the Eagle Magistrate's Office. "
He waved his hand to stop Ji Hyun-woon. "I know you have a personal friendship with him, but you can't bend the law for personal gain. Xuan Yun, if you do something wrong, you must pay the price. Otherwise, it's meaningless for the imperial court to spend so much money to support the Dragon Emperor Mansion. "
"Then I'll take my leave!" Ji Hyun-woon stood up angrily and was about to leave. But when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped. His chest heaved up and down. He suddenly turned around and said with gritted teeth, "Uncle, if you agree to give me the pardon order, I'll agree to the marriage you proposed before!"
"Oh?" Ji Yuyu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You can make the decision?"
Ji Hyun-woon said lightly, "I've passed the trial of the Coming of Age Ceremony. I'm qualified to inherit the throne. Naturally, I'm qualified to choose my wife."
"Hmm …" Ji Yuyu pondered for a moment, "It's a little difficult, but since it's your request, I can't stand by and do nothing. I can give you the pardon order, but you have to promise me one thing. "
"What is it?" Ji Hyun-woon said.
"Remember not to kneel down when you see me in the future." Ji Yuyu blinked his eyes, "I'm your uncle. You don't need to be so distant."
Ji Hyun-woon was stunned. He couldn't tell whether Ji Yuyu was sincere or not. But when he thought of the marriage, his heart turned cold. He had to lower his head and said, "I'll remember it."
…
In the dungeon of the Eagle Magistrate's Office.
"Is that the cell where Yan Li is imprisoned?" Huang Shaoyu asked.
The two officers who went to change shifts nodded. "Remember, that's the biggest torture room in our Eagle Sheriff's Office. It's specifically responsible for dealing with some extremely vicious criminals. Are you familiar with torture tools? If you don't even know how to hold something when the time comes, those instruments of torture might warm up on you before they are used on the criminals. "
That person's intention was to scare Huang Shaoyu, but unexpectedly, Huang Shaoyu still smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this problem. Have a good sleep, and the sun will still rise tomorrow."
"What do you mean?"
Before he finished speaking, the two officials felt a sharp pain in their necks and lost consciousness.
Huang Shaoyu hid the two in a cell and covered it with straw. Then he took their waist tags and gave them to Yu Qiuyu. Then he went to the cell where Yan Li was imprisoned.
It wasn't far, but the further he went, the gloomier it became. Gradually, there was water on the ground. It was the kind of black water that had accumulated a lot of dirt. When they stepped on it, it was stained with a layer of black and stinky.
There were also damp cells on both sides. Each cell was a little smaller than the one outside, and there were no wooden beds. Those who were imprisoned here were either poor or extremely vicious. Almost none of them were good people.
At the end of this corridor, there was a rusty iron door. The whole door was closed and could only be opened from the inside.
The two walked to the door, adjusted their clothes and nodded at each other. Huang Shaoyu reached out to knock on the door.
Knock!
Such a muffled sound suddenly came from the silent dungeon, which could scare people's souls out of their shells.
After the sound, there was silence for a moment, and then the iron door was opened from the inside.
The two of them quickly scanned the interior.
This was a very spacious underground stone room. The whole stone room only had a vent as thick as an arm. All kinds of torture instruments were scattered in the corners and around the whole stone room. Just opposite the door, Yan Li was chained to an iron pillar. There were obvious bloodstains on his body. His head was drooping, and he seemed to be unconscious.
The two were shocked. Was he dead?
But then they denied it. If he was dead, why would anyone be guarding here?
Moreover, he was not a nobody.
The two people who had been relieved opened the door. Seeing two new faces, they naturally became suspicious. "Who are you?"
"Relieved shift." Huang Shaoyu lowered his voice and said. He handed over the waist tag.
The man took it and looked at it. Then he frowned and said, "Are you new here?"
"Yes." Huang Shaoyu said.
"Why so slow? Be careful next time. The Eagle Yamen is not a place for you to pass time. " The man reprimanded and returned the waist tag. He then said to Li Yong, "Lord, we will leave first."
Li Yong sat on the back of a wooden horse and said nonchalantly, "Go."
He glanced at the two newcomers, then closed his eyes and no longer paid attention to them.
Huang Shaoyu and Li Yong had deliberately disguised their appearances. In addition, all the light in the torture room came from the lamp holders hanging on both sides. It was so dark that it was impossible to see their faces.
"Should we …" Yu Qiuyu secretly transmitted and gestured with his head.
Huang Shaoyu secretly observed Li Yong and found faint traces of the Law Domain on the latter. He immediately shook his head. "It will be very troublesome if we act now. Even if we are not guilty, it will become a crime and we may not be able to escape unscathed."
Seeing Yu Qiuyu frown, he added, "Since master Xiao Wang said he can get an amnesty order, we just need to wait and see."
Li Yong suddenly closed his eyes and said, "Are you new here?"
Huang Shaoyu jumped and hurriedly said in a low voice, "Huang Shaodong greets Lord."
"Do you recognize the torture instruments here?" Li Yong slowly opened his eyes.
Huang Shaoyu was perturbed. He turned his eyes and pointed to a thick stone bow, saying, "That should be used on the head constriction."
"That's right," Li Yong said.
"Is that knife used for the death of a thousand cuts?" Huang Shaoyu pointed to a long and thin knife on a shelf on the wall.
"Huang Shaodong, right? You know quite a lot. "Li Yong's eyes lit up.
Huang Shaoyu gradually grew confident and pointed to a copper pipe in another corner. "That pipe is for the Cannon Iron."
"What did you do before coming to the Eagle Yamen?" Li Yong asked.
"Lord, my ancestor was a craftsman specializing in making torture instruments." Huang Shaoyu lied without batting an eyelid.
Li Yong said excitedly, "Your ancestor was very smart. The instrument of torture is a very good thing, for it gives both pain to the torturer and pleasure to the torturer. In my opinion, I'm still … "
At this point, he suddenly stopped talking. His expression was solemn, and he didn't say a word.
Before the two could react, they heard a knock on the door. "Open the door, it's me!"
The two exchanged a look and had no choice but to bite the bullet and open the metal door.
