The air in Chang'an City is particularly sweet as dusk approaches.
At least, that's how the master and servant who just came out of the underground secret room felt.
"Huh~!"
Smelling the exceptionally sweet air of Chang'an City, the master and servant could not help but exhale heavily at the same time.
"I really can't stay in that damn place for more than a quarter of an hour." Zhao Shou said with lingering fear.
Xu Yi chuckled: "After today, the prison in the Western Region will no longer exist, and you will have no place to stay if you want."
That place was really too depressing, especially since the master and servant had just left Zongzheng Temple today.
That damn Western Region prison can always make the master and servant unconsciously take over their bodies.
It really does double the damage.
"Master Liu is planning to dismantle the Western Region Prison?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Zhao Shou's face: "Actually, the Western Region Cage is not bad. If you want to interrogate anyone with it, just throw it into the Western Region Cage. In a few days, the person will say everything."
Suppression is repression, harm is harm, but the effect is equally strong.
If it was really torn down, Zhao Shou would really be reluctant to part with it.
"Demolish it! Don't forget where this is. This is Chang'an City."
A trace of struggle flashed across Xu Yi's face, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
For Xu Yi at this time, the advantages of the Western Region Prison outweighed the disadvantages.
This disaster relief effort was supposed to make many aristocratic families enemies. How could Xu Yi leave such a big handle for himself in Chang'an City?
Private prisons are always a felony.
What's more, this is Chang'an City, at the feet of the Emperor!
If it was really discovered, it would really be mud that fell into the crotch, and it would be shit if it wasn't shit.
"Then, what should we do with those people below?" Zhao Shou nodded in understanding.
Then he realized what would happen to those government servants and servants if the cage was removed.
You can't just let them go like this, right?
"Is there anyone else below besides Qing Xin?" Xu Yi asked knowingly.
From the moment he discovered the Western Region Cage, those people had become dead in Xu Yi's eyes.
Only the dead can keep secrets forever.
If people are not ruthless and cannot stand firm, if they don't kill them, Xu Yi may die himself. How should he choose?
It is not a problem for Xu Yi, who has been under house arrest for eight years and yearns for freedom.
"What if someone is looking for them?"
Zhao Shou also tended to kill people and silence them, but after all, it was his first time to participate in such a thing, so he was inevitably a little hesitant.
"Today at midnight, Mr. Liu became very interested in poetry after being drunk. He ignored the curfew and went to the lake to play in the water and recite poetry."
"I happened to meet Lu Jindong and other government officials who were on night patrol."
"The two sides had a quarrel and conflict on the cruise ship,"
"At this moment, someone knocked over the oil lamp and set the boat on fire."
"There was chaos on the cruise ship for a while, and in the chaos everyone jumped into the water to escape."
"Unfortunately, the lake water is extremely cold in winter."
"A few died in chaos on the cruise ship, a few died in fire, and the rest died from drowning."
Xu Yi chuckled. Now that the decision has been made to kill and silence.
Naturally, all aspects will be taken into consideration.
More than 20 people can't just disappear into thin air.
As for whether anyone believes this excuse, it's none of Xu Yi's business.
Zhao Shou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately praised: "Sixth Master! How wonderful!"
Xu Yi chuckled and did not respond.
There are too many examples of this kind of man-made accidents in history.
Sometimes it is clear that a suspect has been identified, but because there is no evidence, the person can only be allowed to walk free.
Reading history makes people wise, but this wisdom still depends on where it is used.
"That's not right, Master Six. Master Six is wrong."
Suddenly, Zhao Shou seemed to realize something was wrong and screamed repeatedly.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yi turned to look at Zhao Shou.
"Wang Qiujin! Sixth Master! We have ignored Wang Qiujin." Zhao Shou said quickly.
The only person in the Wang family who knew that the master and servant had taken Liu Shian and others away was Wang Qiujin.
If Wang Qiujin confesses the two of them, wouldn't his work be in vain?
"You talk about her."
The Wang Qiujin with a swollen face and a normal face appeared in Xu Yi's mind and chuckled.
"Don't worry about her, she's a smart person and she knows what to do."
Xu Yi chuckled and added.
Xu Yi believes that Wang Qiujin is a smart person, and smart people will never put themselves and their families in danger.
The mysterious deaths of Liu Shian and others were a shock to Wang Qiujin.
...
Leader Wen Xin didn't let the master and servant wait long.
When dusk fell, Leader Wenxin walked out of the secret passage holding several pieces of paper filled with writing.
"Young master." Leader Wenxin greeted and handed the paper full of writing in his hands to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, reached out and took the paper and looked at it carefully.
I saw that the content recorded on the paper was extremely complicated.
Some people even confessed that when they were children, they spied on the widow next door taking a bath.
It can be seen that those people were really panicked.
It's a pity that these things are useless for disaster relief.
Fortunately, Xu Yi didn't have any hope for those government servants and servants at first. It's just a matter of hunting down rabbits and interrogating a few things.
So I didn't feel particularly disappointed.
Xu Yi handed the paper filled with his own writing to Leader Wenxin again and ordered: "Destroy all these papers."
"Yes." Leader Wenxin nodded and agreed.
"In addition to the stab wounds, did those people have any other external injuries?" Xu Yi naturally would not miss every detail.
"Back to my young master, except for Liu Shi'an and Lu Jindong who suffered internal injuries, the others only had one stab wound on their bodies."
In fact, once those government officials and servants arrived in the secret room, they did not even wait for interrogation.
Then he told everything he knew.
It makes Wen Xin's torture instruments useless.
"That's good."
If it was just a stab wound, it would be easy to deal with. Then Xu Yi asked again: "Can those stab wounds be dealt with?"
"Treat them like the scars caused by the yamen servants' own swords." Xu Yi added.
"Okay." Leader Wenxin nodded and confirmed.
"That's good."
Xu Yi nodded and said immediately: "Come here."
After a while.
A trace of reluctance flashed across Leader Wenxin's face and he asked, "Does the young master really want to destroy the Western Region Prison?"
"This place is Chang'an City. Keeping it will do more harm than good." A trace of doubt flashed across Xu Yi's face.
"yes!"
Even though Leader Wen Xin was reluctant to give up, he had no choice but to carry out the order silently.
After explaining everything, Xu Yi and the others did not linger.
While dusk was still lingering, he drove his horse slowly towards the direction of Zongzheng Temple.
Looking at the infinitely beautiful scenery of the setting sun, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
God knows how much dirt is hidden under this beautiful scenery.
And Xu Yi himself, unknowingly, became the creator of dirt.
