In the cell.
Lu Chi vividly demonstrated the character and magnanimity of a scholar.
This suddenly made a group of old eunuchs have black lines on their foreheads, and they felt that the rather ferocious-looking monk Jingjie hanging by the side had become kind-hearted and amiable.
It was originally heard that among Lu Chi, Jingjie and others, the leader was actually Jingjie, who had always refused to cover his face and disdained to conceal his identity, so they interrogated Jingjie first.
Unexpectedly, what Lu Chi, a dignified semi-saint, said to be a role model for scholars, was truly abominable.
Especially the way they were hanging there and dangling was a great insult to them and caused strong visual discomfort!
The leading prison officer's lips trembled and he pointed at Lu Chi in annoyance.
"Teach him a lesson from our family! If anything happens, our family will bear the responsibility!"
Lu Chi, who was watching the excitement, immediately screamed. Five iron ropes suddenly came out of the cell and were instantly fastened to various parts of his body.
The head and limbs were tightly wrapped to death, and with the iron ropes pierced through the lute bones and hanging from the roof, the whole person was stretched into a "tai"!
"If you have the ability, give us another try!"
"If I shake it again, I'll chop it up for you! Soak it in a wine jar and become an earthworm!"
"Tell me how the director of the West Factory died and where you hid the ten million taels of gold!"
A group of old eunuchs swarmed up with ferocious faces, and whipped the poisonous dragon whip at Lu Chi for free.
The poisonous dragon whip, which can amplify the sensory stimulation of ordinary people dozens or hundreds of times, was covered like a net, and even Lu Chi's face couldn't help but change!
The familiar feeling reminded him of the "Taizhen" whisk of Kun Dao from Tianshi Dao, the red tent tendon technique of Master Jingxin of Haiyun Temple, and the giant tail of Hu Nianxi's demon fox...
"Ahhh!"
A slightly distorted and weird sound came from Lu Chi's mouth.
A group of old women who were whipping him around listened to the sound, and the more they beat him, the more they felt something was wrong.
Jingjie, who was hanging next to him, looked at Lu Chi, and the word "Tai" seemed to be three-dimensional. The corners of his mouth twitched fiercely: Are you being beaten? You are clearly enjoying it, you are despicable!
The leading criminal officer was extremely angry. He had never been wronged like this before. He pointed at Lu Chi with trembling fingers: "Hit him, interrupt him!"
What a bully!
If he hadn't gotten a hint from the factory supervisor in advance, he would have had to use a secret prison method that has been passed down for countless years - opening the forbidden body lock, which can cut the foundation of a person's body and destroy a person's life span. It is extremely sinister and vicious!
Especially with the lifting of the ban on heaven and earth, the power representing punishment and prison is also increasing.
As the so-called heavy code in troubled times, these executioners, who represent the law and the prison, naturally also received a trace of the power of the prison in the process!
And at this time.
When an old eunuch saw Lu Chi lost his mind, he took out a dagger in a sinister tone, ducked, rushed towards Lu Chi and swung it at him.
Even though his magical powers were locked, his physique underwent an inhuman transformation due to his concurrent martial arts training. When the dagger slashed through it, it actually made the sound of gold and iron clashing!
Although no damage was caused, Lu Chi was frightened!
He was just an ordinary soldier. If he encountered some sharp weapons, he might be seriously injured. No matter how hard he remained calm, his face turned green and his whole body was trembling.
"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"
He, a majestic semi-saint, a model of literati in the world, would be so wronged in the land of the gods. It is really an insult to politeness and a disgrace to politeness!
At this moment, the cell door was pushed open.
Yang Fan walked in at the right time, walking in a hurry, as if he had just received the news, and said urgently: "Stop! Let us go quickly!"
The old eunuchs who were whipping Lu Chi heard the sound and saw that the factory supervisor was coming in person. They quickly stopped, and the criminal officer in charge of the interrogation also quickly got up to greet him.
"I've met the factory supervisor!"
"No need! Put the person down quickly!"
Yang Fan waved his hand and ordered.
The criminal officer showed hesitation, thinking about Yang Fan's explanation before, took a deep breath, and refused: "Mr. Factory Supervisor, these two are the murderers suspected of killing the previous factory superintendent, and they are also involved in thousands of deaths. The whereabouts of ten thousand taels of gold, please forgive me for being humble and dare not obey my order!"
As he said that, he knelt down in front of Yang Fan, "If the factory governor insists on releasing this person, please remove him from the humble position first..."
As he spoke, his head hit the ground heavily.
"you!"
Yang Fan looked at him, his face turned ugly, "How dare you disobey me!"
The criminal officer still had his head on the ground: "This is my duty as a humble official. I didn't mean to disobey the factory governor. It's just that the matter is serious, so I ask the factory governor to think twice..."
The bottom overcomes the top!
This scene made Lu Chi and Jingjie, who were originally overjoyed to see Yang Fan coming, feel as if cold water had been poured on their heads, and their hearts suddenly froze.
Sure enough, in the next second, Yang Fan said with a cold face: "Okay! Stop talking, you can retreat! Our family has something to say to them, and I think it won't affect your duties!"
"Don't dare! Factory Supervisor, please do it!"
As he said that, the executioner stood up quickly, gave the old eunuchs a look, and the group of people quickly retreated.
After they went out, only Lu Chi, Jingjie, and Yang Fan were left here.
"These bastards!"
Looking at Lu Chi and Jingjie hanging on the roof, Yang Fan sighed: "Oh, it's a pity that our family has just taken office as the director of the West Factory, and our position is not yet stable. I wanted to rescue you directly, but now it is difficult."
"Yang... Factory Supervisor Yang doesn't have to be like this!"
Lu Chi almost called out "Junior Brother", but fortunately he remembered Jingjie was beside him in time, and quickly changed his words, "I, Mr. Lu, don't do anything bad, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. I didn't do this. I believe Yang Chang The governor will definitely give me justice!"
"That's right, that's right, we really didn't do this!"
Jingjie nodded repeatedly on the side, like a chicken pecking at rice.
However, Yang Fan sighed: "Of course we want to give you justice, but the pressure on this case is too tight. I don't know how many people plan to take this opportunity to step on this governor and get the position!"
"Oh, I'm afraid that before I can get justice for you, you will be pushed out by these people as a scapegoat and directly convicted and executed!"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chi and Jingjie suddenly changed their expressions.
"What should I do?"
Regardless of whether they are a semi-saint or a great Arhat, if they really go against the imperial court, it would be like mantis trying to do something!
Yang Fan saw that the time was ripe, considered his tone, and said solemnly: "Actually, this case is not one case, but two cases. One is the death of the former West Factory Supervisor, and the other is the death of tens of millions of taels of gold. Missing!"
"The former is a fatal matter, but the latter can be appropriately accommodating..."
"Um?"
Lu Chi and Jingjie looked at each other and suddenly felt something bad.
Sure enough, I heard Yang Fan sighing with compassion on his face and saying: "Our family knows that this is a bit difficult to block, but if you can gather 10 million taels of gold to plug the gap, and our family can mediate it..."
"It will definitely be safe and sound!"
