The fourth floor of the prison.
In front of Cell No. 2, Lu Ning and Chen Tianqi walked over.
The cell was filled with black air.
It's like a bottomless pit, and you can't see clearly what's going on inside.
Lu Ning moved his eyes and saw clearly that there was a woman wearing a black feathered coat sitting cross-legged on the stone bed. The woman's eyes were burgundy and shone with a strange light.
Fortunately, Lu Ning was in the middle stage of third-grade cultivation, and his eyes were sharp and powerful, so he was not afraid at all.
"The Demon Emperor of Bitterness, Wu Qianqian?"
"Where does this brat dare to call me by her first name?"
Black demonic energy billowed in the cell, and black feathers flew out from the Demon Emperor's body, hitting the window with the lightning formation like a sharp sword.
Lu Ning didn't care and shouted to confirm his identity.
Shortly after leaving, the picture list flashed:
Sin Demon: Wu Qianqian (eight stars)
Cultivation: Second-grade Demon King (middle stage)
Divine Punishment: 10 Power
Reward: 72,000 experience/day
Lu Ning's eyes flashed, Wu Qianqian's experience points were not as high as Zeng Wudao's, mainly because Wu Qianqian's crime level was low.
If it is a nine-star sin, the experience points will definitely exceed Zeng Wudao by a lot.
Even so, Lu Ning was still very excited.
Immediately go to Prison No. 3.
I have seen the roll call before, and the person imprisoned is the third elder of the Beiming Immortal Sect, named Qing Ming.
Chen Tianqi just said that the time Qing Ming was detained was longer than the time he spent in the prison.
It was also recorded in the roll call that Qing Ming had been incarcerated for three hundred years, and Qing Ming was a second-level cultivation before being imprisoned.
Because of his cultivation, he became a demon and slaughtered a small city in the north with one sword. The actual number of people killed was 370,000.
Sinner: Qing Ming (Eight Stars)
Cultivation: Second-grade Daoyuan (early stage)
Divine Punishment: 10 Power
Reward: 60,000 experience/day
Lu Ning was very excited when she saw it.
Along with Chen Tianqi, he walked towards Cell No. 4.
It takes about a pot of tea.
Lu Ning and the two went through the four levels of the Tianlao.
The seven people imprisoned are the leader of the Blood Demon Sect, the Demon King of Kuqing, Qing Ming of the Beiming Immortal Sect, the Golden Corpse Buddha of Kuchan Temple, the leader of the Netherworld Hall, the deputy ghost leader of Wangui Sect, and the deputy leader of Xuanyin Sect.
Among the seven felons, except for the leader of the Blood Demon Sect, the prison time was the shortest, only sixty years.
Followed by the seventy years of the bitter demon emperor.
The remaining five people have been detained for more than a hundred years.
The person with the lowest experience is Qing Ming, with 60,000 experience points, and the highest is the Nether Palace Master, with 92,000 experience points.
The total experience value is 502,000.
Nights not included.
Supervision overnight, doubling that is 1.004 million experience points.
After a rough calculation.
Lu Ning and Chen Tianqi followed Chen Tianqi to the squad room. It was almost noon.
But there is no need to put rice on the third and fourth floors.
Lu Ning was not in a hurry and listened to Chen Tianqi's ramble.
"Alas, it's all my fault that I was trapped in this prison for my heroic words back then." As he said that, Chen Tianqi also shook his head and sighed.
Lu Ning asked curiously, but Gu Wushuang said, "Mr. Chen said fifty years ago that he will not come out until the prison falls."
"...!!"
Lu Ning stared at Chen Tianqi who was smiling bitterly, with a look of surprise on his face: "With you here, how can Tianlao collapse?"
Chen Tianqi smiled helplessly: "Back then, I was trying to scare those monsters, so I came to Tianlao to make plans, but I didn't expect that it trapped me instead."
Lu Ning frowned and said, "Mr. Chen, with your cultivation level, it would be no problem for you to leave for a day and a half and wander around the streets of Beijing and Zhou."
Chen Tianqi nodded and said: "Yes, yes, but every time I go out, I have to ask her father to help me guard her. It's not good to bother others all the time."
"So, I should go out less often."
"Mr. Chen, this junior will come here often from now on. If you want to go out and relax, this junior can help you guard." Lu Ning patted his chest and said.
Chen Tianqi's eyes brightened slightly and he said, "Xiao Lu, you have to come here often!"
Lu Ning nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I'll be back tomorrow."
Chen Tianqi was very happy when he heard it and said with a smile: "Here you come, don't be empty-handed. It's so boring to just sit there dryly!"
"……I know!"
Lu Ning smiled bitterly.
It was not long before the two stood up and left.
On the road.
Lu Ning looked through the catalog and was about to calculate the total experience of the fourth level.
Suddenly he glanced and found the punisher Lu Ning (Xuan) behind him.
It was ordinary before, but after recording the third and fourth level felons, it became mysterious.
If this mystery is related to the acquisition of Xuanpin skills and the quality of artifacts, it would be the level of the Punisher.
Lu Ning is not sure what the benefits are of reaching the Xuan level as a punisher. Is it because of the experience gained?
Or will the number of draws increase after a criminal dies?
Unable to figure it out, Lu Ning stopped and began to calculate Tianlao's current overall experience.
Only the experience of the first-level prison has changed significantly. A few years ago, the experience dropped to more than 7,000.
But in the past two months, many felons have been detained on the first floor, with experience reaching 15,000.
Even so, it goes up and down every day, but it can guarantee 10,000 experience points every hour.
There are no changes on the second floor of the Heavenly Prison, and 300,000 experience points are generated in one day and night.
Three levels and one day and night is 630,000 experience points.
Four floors and one day and night is 1 million experience points.
The total experience of the four levels of Tianlao is 2.05 million points.
Although it is not a lot, it is produced steadily every day, which is important.
Next, he will arrest some serious criminals and kill some evil people. Isn't the experience gained from this?
Thinking about it, Lu Ning was very excited.
At this rate, reaching the second level of cultivation within a year should not be a big problem.
He is currently at level 3 fighting against level 2. When he reaches level 2, he will be able to fight against level 1 and be almost invincible.
When the time comes, I will hug a few beautiful wives and concubines and ask for immortality. This life will be enough.
"Why are you staring at me and giggling?" Gu Wushuang frowned.
"...Do I have it?"
Lu Ning couldn't help but come to her senses, said something and walked forward quickly.
"Don't think that because you know my daughter's identity, you want to take advantage of me. I'm warning you, I don't like men." Gu Wushuang caught up with Lu Ning and warned.
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows: "What a coincidence, I don't like men either!"
Gu Wushuang: "...!!"
…
The prison kitchen.
Lu Ning cooks himself and makes two bowls of egg noodles.
"Egg noodles? Is it delicious?"
Gu Wushuang was very curious and ate egg noodles for the first time.
"Very tasty!"
Lu Ning responded and started to purr.
After Gu Wushuang followed Lu Ning's example and stirred, he gently picked up the tip of a chopstick. After a taste, it was okay, but he ate it more gracefully.
"You don't feel good eating like that. This is how I should eat lo mein. Learn from me and suck...yes, suck hard..."
After a moment, Gu Wushuang stepped on the bench with his right leg, imitated Lu Ning's posture, picked up the noodles and started slurping.
The painting style is really indecent, but the food is enjoyable.
After a while, Lu Ning patted his belly and stood up.
“The egg noodles are very good.”
Gu Wushuang sincerely praised him, stood up and said, "I never thought you could cook."
Lu Ning walked out of the kitchen, stood at the door and said, "Children from poor families have long been in charge of their own affairs, so cooking is a trivial matter!"
"puff!"
Gu Wushuang couldn't help but smile when she saw Lu Ning's free and easy appearance.
Lu Ning looked back, feeling slightly distracted.
Dressed in men's clothing, he looks handsome, but his smile is very delicate.
If she were to put on girl's clothes, even if her beauty was not as good as that of the Empress, Mo Luo, and Fairy Ji, she should still be ranked fourth.
"Have you ever worn girl clothes?" Lu Ning asked curiously.
When Gu Wushuang heard this, the delicate smile on his face disappeared instantly, and Bai Luning glanced at him: "It's not nonsense."
Lu Ning didn't pay attention and said, "I never asked you, do you have any brothers or sisters?"
Hearing this, Gu Wushuang's face became solemn, and he walked out of the kitchen and stood side by side with Lu Ning.
After a long time, she said in a deep voice: "I had a brother who died eleven years ago."
"There is a younger brother down there, who is five years old this year."
Lu Ning saw that she was sad when asked, and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry for bringing up your sadness."
"fine!"
Gu Wushuang shook his head. She was only nine years old when her brother died.
It was that year that she decided to dress up in men's clothing and join the Demon Suppression Division.
Return to Kita Shoji.
Lu Ning found that the plaque had been replaced, with gold words on a blue background: Righteousness lasts forever.
Entering the main hall, he sat in front of the desk where Yang Feng sat before and sorted out his things.
Looking at Gu Wushuang, he asked: "Does the Demon Suppressing Division look for cases, investigate cases and arrest people by itself when arresting criminals?"
Gu Wushuang drank tea, shook his head and said: "Part of it is like this, but most of them are cases that cannot be solved by all the prefecture and county yamen. They are transferred to the Demon Suppression Department. Some people also report to the Demon Suppression Department to verify the situation first."
"Or if there is an emergency, such as Qin Cheng being assassinated or Kou Wei being killed, we will be dispatched immediately."
"In addition, there are some old cases that have accumulated over time and are difficult to solve."
"In such a big case, if there are clues, we will pursue it. If there are no clues, we will let it go."
"The closest ones, such as the case of Prince Yong'an, have been backlogged for more than 30 years, and they haven't been investigated clearly yet."
Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyes flashed.
When he left the empress, he promised her to investigate two matters, one was the true identity of Mr. Jin Lin, and the other was the murder of Prince Yong'an.
Regarding the true identity of Mr. Jin Lin, he was still waiting for news from Zhongli.
But Zhongli left Yongzhou for half a year, and there is no news yet.
As for the murder of Prince Yong'an, he asked Qin Zhong insinuatingly some time ago.
Qin Zhong kept shaking his head and said he didn't know, and asked him to go to the Demon Suppression Department to check the files.
Lu Ning had been unable to find time, so when he thought about it, it seemed that he had to go to the archives to find out the details of the murder of Prince Yong'an.
"Let's go to the archives."
Lu Ning stood up and looked at Gu Wushuang and said.
Gu Wushuang frowned: "Why are you going to the archives suddenly?"
Lu Ning said: "Let's take a look at the detailed process of Prince Yong'an's murder."
Hearing this, Gu Wushuang didn't say anything, got up and took Lu Ning to the file library.
File library.
Next to the Demon Suppression Hall, there is an eight-sided circular attic with a total of seven floors, one floor is three feet high, and it looks quite spectacular.
As soon as he walked into the archives, Zuo Hongchen walked towards him with no intention of giving in.
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows, and Gu Wushuang hurriedly saluted: "I have met Mr. Zuo."
Zuo Hongchen looked at Gu Wushuang, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes, nodded, and then stared at Lu Ning with a cold eyebrow: "You won't let me, right?"
Lu Ning: "You want to cause trouble, right?"
Zuo Hongchen said coldly: "I just want to make trouble, what can you do?"
"What else can I do? I'll beat you up!"
With that said, Lu Ning clenched his fist and punched Zuo Hongchen in the face.
Zuo Hongchen was well prepared and took action suddenly, grabbing Lu Ning's fist.
But he didn't expect that Lu Ning's power was so fierce that he was knocked back more than ten meters with one punch.
"Let's go out and compete!"
Zuo Hongchen stood firm, glared at Lu Ning coldly, and moved towards the outside of the archives library.
"Afraid of you!"
Lu Ning also flashed and rushed out of the archives building.
"Are you two crazy?"
Gu Wushuang was speechless and rushed out of the file library.
In the small square in front of the building, Lu Ning and Zuo Hongchen were facing each other. The demon-suppressing people who were walking around were looking on with surprise on their faces.
"Master Zuo, Master Lu has just taken office and doesn't know the rules of the Demon Suppression Division. Don't you also know the rules?"
Gu Wushuang walked quickly between the two of them, stared at Zuo Hongchen and said: "Demon Suppression Division, private fights between colleagues are strictly prohibited. Anyone who violates this rule will have their cultivation level revoked and will be expelled from the Demon Suppression Division."
Hearing this, Zuo Hongchen's eyes flashed, he stared at Lu Ning for a long time, and snorted coldly: "I'll settle the score with you in the future."
After saying these words, Zuo Hongchen walked away without paying attention to everyone's gaze.
"I'm waiting for you!"
Lu Ning responded firmly, turned around and walked into the building.
Gu Wushuang put his hands behind his back and glanced at the audience: "There's nothing to do, right?"
After a respectful salute, a group of hundreds of households quickly left.
In the file library.
Under the guidance of Gu Wushuang, Lu Ning quickly obtained the dossier of Prince Yongan.
The content of the dossier is not much:
In the first year of Mingwu, on the fifth day of winter, Prince Yongan was infected with wind and cold and died.
The master of Baiyun Temple personally treated him, even if he hung a silver needle on the top of his head, he still couldn't cure it.
Pills, no cure.
So he asked the abbot of the Great Buddhist Temple to treat him with the Yi Gu Jing, but it was difficult to solve and the condition was suppressed.
Lu Ning's eyes brightened slightly, "Yi Gu Jing" from the Great Buddha Temple? He couldn't help but think of the "Yi Jin Jing" in his previous life.
Judging from the files, the "Yi Gu Jing" of the Great Buddha Temple can suppress the illness of Prince Yong'an, but in the end it only delays time.
Without prescribing the right medicine, a person cannot recover at all.
It is recorded later in the file that on the second day of the twelfth lunar month, Prince Yongan fell into a coma. His skin turned black and even began to fester. There was a cold and black air that could not be dissipated from the pores of his skin.
The imperial doctor diagnosed Prince Yong'an as having cold poison, but he was not cured.
The master of Baiyun Temple looked at it again and thought it was a cold poison. He couldn't find any poison at the moment, so he couldn't start.
I tried to fight poison with poison, but in the end it accelerated the condition's progression.
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Prince Yong'an was unable to bear the burden due to his youth and frailty.
Before the age of twelve, the person dies.
It only took a month from being infected with the cold to dying.
Knowing that it was poisoning, Emperor Mingwu ordered a thorough investigation, and finally targeted two palace maids and three young eunuchs.
However, when the five of them were found, they all committed suicide by taking poison.
Since then, the news has stopped.
"Liu Jin, Wang Jian, Cao Wu, Sun Minglan, Ruan Hongxing..."
Lu Ning stared at the names of the three young eunuchs and the two palace maids, and muttered something.
Regarding these five people, the files are also recorded in detail, including where they live, how many people are in the family, and who they are.
How to enter the palace?
Who arranged to take care of Prince Yongan's daily life?
The investigation was very detailed, but the content was of no use to advancing the case.
"Hongjia Town, Ruanhe Village?"
Lu Ning's eyes were fixed on the last palace maid named Ruan Hongxing, who had the same surname as her sister-in-law.
In my memory, my sister-in-law is also from Ruanhe Village, Hongjia Town.
After marrying her eldest brother, my sister-in-law went back to Ruanhe Village in the first two years, but never returned after that.
When I go back, I can ask my sister-in-law about the situation in Ruanhe Village.
After making up his mind, Lu Ning rolled up Prince Yong'an's files and took them away directly.
At Xu time, night had fallen.
Lu Ning and Gu Wushuang arrived at the Demon Suppression Hall. Many people gathered neatly in the square, with firewood placed in the center.
But there was no one on the firewood, only the things Yang Feng used in his daily life.
"Didn't you find Mr. Yang's body?"
"No!"
Hearing this, Lu Ning took a deep breath.
It seemed that what Gu Fengtang meant to see Yang Feng off was to hold such a cremation ceremony.
But the real purpose is to unite the hearts of the Demon Suppressor.
Unconsciously, Lu Ning's eyes moved to the end of the square, above the Demon Suppression Hall.
All I saw was demonic energy billowing.
