Li Yi felt even more guilty at the moment. He personally promised Mi Qingyan to save her father, but ended up breaking his promise.
He never expected that Wu Chun would act so quickly, killing people in advance and destroying evidence of the crime!
It's good now, his biggest tainting witness is gone.
As for the prison chiefs from top to bottom of the death row, all the prison chiefs were arrested.
Originally, they were all guards on death row, but now they have become prisoners inside.
Begging for mercy and wailing, one after another on death row?
Li Yi frowned and walked in with a livid face, his eyes revealed an indescribable anger, even murderous intent.
These bastards are so courageous that they dare to kill people right under their noses.
"See Your Majesty!" The guarding dragoons all knelt down and saluted.
Li Yi nodded in greeting and walked into the innermost cell, where the "heads" of this death row were held.
There were a few people kneeling on the ground with their hands tied, but he didn't pay much attention to them.
"Your Majesty, here are the leaders of this prison. I have asked them just now, but they all insisted that they don't know." Xuanwu said.
Li Yi glanced at the ones on the ground and then at the ones on the shelf, "Who is the person in charge of these death rows?"
"He is!" Xuanwu pointed at a fat man with a big belly on the ground.
This fat man is really fat. His belly is as big as a ball. All the fat is squeezed out from his clothes. He has a big face and his facial features are squeezed out of shape. Even breathing is difficult.
Li Yi frowned, "Is he the cell leader?"
"Your Majesty, yes." Xuanwu said.
"Why aren't you wearing chains?" Li Yi saw that everyone else was either tied up with chains, locked on a shelf, or tied up with ropes, but he had nothing on him.
Xuanwu said helplessly: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to chain him, it's really that there are no such big shackles, and even the binding ropes are not that long."
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. This guy can't run away. He's so fat that he can't even lift his arms. I asked about him and found out that he is usually served by servants."
Li Yi looked sideways, this guy must weigh at least four to five hundred kilograms. Is this too exaggerated?
People in the Three Qin Dynasties starved to death, but the corrupt officials in Jiangnan Province were so fat and virtuous. It was really ironic that they lived in the same world but had different lives!
"Can you still be an official if you are so fat?" Li Yihu glared at Wu Songjiang and asked displeasedly.
Wu Songjiang suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He hurried over and knelt down, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. Before I took office, he was the head of the death row."
"Don't you just ask, how can a person who can't even take care of himself become an official?"
Li Yi hated the iron and said: "This is your Jiangnan Province. You still have the nerve to say that it has nothing to do with you. Isn't he one of your subordinates?"
Wu Songjiang looked aggrieved, "Your Majesty, I asked, his father is the head of this death row, and he is his successor. What do you say, could he be dismissed from his position?"
"Succession?" Li Yi was confused and said angrily: "What kind of succession should I take over? Is it possible that this cell leader is also a hereditary replacement?"
"I only remember that the title in the Gale Dynasty is hereditary, but it is reduced by one level per generation. I haven't heard that official positions can also be hereditary."
When Cao Qingyan saw this, he hurriedly said, "Return to your majesty, this matter has happened in the Dafeng Dynasty."
"What's the meaning?"
"Is the official position of the Gale Dynasty just like AIDS? It is transmitted through mother-to-child blood and sex!" Li Yi was immediately angry. Where in the world could such an absurd and unruly thing come from!
"You don't want to tell me that the son of the prison chief will be the prison chief in the future, and the son of the county magistrate will still be the county magistrate in the future. What about the people, what will happen to their children?"
This series of questions made Cao Qingyan, Wu Songjiang and the others sweat in their faces.
But this is the Gale Dynasty!
The Dafeng Dynasty did pay attention to the imperial examinations, but it is not a new thing for most officials, especially local officials, to be hereditary and replace them.
Seeing that they were silent, Li Yi also knew something and immediately yelled, "Cao Qingyan, pass on my decree. The local officials of the Gale Dynasty began to break the monopoly. Anyone who has served as an official within three generations will not be allowed to have his heirs. If you have great talents, you can be appointed as an official only after I personally evaluate them."
"No!" Cao Qingyan and Wu Songjiang responded in unison.
Li Yi, who was always holding back a wave of anger, turned to look at the fat man. His eyes were cold and captivating. His expression was unclear, and he said coldly: "Wake him up."
"No!" Two internal machine supervisors brought a bucket of cold water and poured it down.
"Ah! Ah!"
"Who is it? You dared to pour water on my head after eating a bear's heart? Are you tired of living? Let me see if I don't kill your whole family!" The fat man couldn't get up. His voice was extremely overbearing and deafening.
Li Yi gritted his teeth and was extremely angry. He walked over slowly and stepped on his stomach with one foot, "Do you know who I am?"
The fat man was about to curse, but he glanced at Wu Songjiang. He knew Wu Songjiang and shouted hurriedly: "My lord governor, I want to say hello to you. Who is this kid? He dares to step on me!"
"Presumptuous!" Wu Songjiang couldn't hold it in any longer. He turned around and said, "I've blinded you. How dare you be so presumptuous in today's world!"
"ah?"
The fat man was shocked and pointed at Li Yi, "You...are you His Majesty, your Majesty?"
But at this moment, Li Yi was already angry. The figure was particularly scary under the light of the fire. He said coldly: "Fat man, you just insulted me. Do you know the consequences?"
Although the fat man was fat, he was not stupid. He understood immediately and quickly begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. The little dog looked down upon others and bumped into you. Please be merciful to Your Majesty. Please spare me."
Li Yi closed his eyes tightly and finally said coldly: "I can give you a chance to survive."
"It depends on whether you can grasp it?"
The flesh on the fat man's face trembled, and he was extremely excited. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely catch it, I will definitely catch it."
Li Yi smiled coldly and asked immediately: "How did the head of the Mi family die?"
As soon as he said this, the fat man seemed to be drained of all his strength in an instant, his eyes full of fear.
"Say!" Li Yi roared angrily.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this..." The fat man hesitated and was speechless.
Li Yi no longer hesitated and immediately added fuel to the fire, "Of course, if you reject me or don't want this opportunity, I won't force you."
At this moment, the fat man secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
But how could Li Yi let him go so easily and continued: "It would be a waste to throw away the flesh on your body. Why don't we just cut off the flesh on your body and refine it into oil? What do you think?"
"I can help you. First, let me cut you off and chop the meat into pieces. I won't throw you into the frying pan alive."
at this point.
The fat man was really frightened when he heard this. His face was full of panic and his body was trembling. Finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, will you really forgive me?"
"Of course, I am the emperor and I will keep my promise. As long as you cooperate with me, I will never kill you."
Li Yi raised the corner of his mouth and said with great interest: "Don't worry, I will protect you for the rest of my life. People from the Jianghu Alliance can't find you, let alone hunt you down!"
"What!"
The fat man couldn't control his body at all. He was trembling even more violently and was in shock. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you know about the Jianghu Alliance?"
"Of course, I also know that the leader of the Jianghu Alliance has left the country." Li Yi said calmly.
The fat man was completely panicked, "Yes, Your Majesty is wise, indeed, it was the leader of the Jianghu Alliance who came to force me to open the death row door."
"Who else?" Li Yi continued to ask.
"There is another person who I don't even know. He is a bit older and not tall. However, it seems that the leader of the alliance respects him very much."
After hearing Fatty's description, Li Yi immediately thought of one person, Wu Chun!
From this point of view, it was the leader of the Jianghu Alliance who rescued Wu Chun that night.
This old thief finally came out!
I've been waiting for you for a long time!
At this time, Cao Qingyan asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do? I am afraid that the leader of the Jianghu Alliance and Wu Chun will hide. The capital of Jiangnan Province is so big, how can we find it?"
"Looking for?" Li Yi shook his head, "These two mice are hiding, no one can find them, and I am too lazy to look for them."
"Are we just going to let them go?" Cao Qingyan was puzzled. This is not His Majesty's temper.
"What a beautiful thought. I will never let them go. However, I don't need to look for them. I will let them get out and die on their own!" Li Yi's thin lips parted slightly, revealing an unpredictable smile.
But when everyone around them heard this, they all looked surprised.
Not to mention where the two mice were hiding, whether they could be found, or even getting them out was a difficult task.
Not to mention, let them get out and die on their own?
