In just one day, all the gangsters were taken to the Criminal Department.

Looking at the strapped strong men, Li Yi took the whip handed to him by the yamen servant.

"If you confess, you will be treated with leniency, if you resist, you will be treated with severity. Who ordered you?"

"How could anyone instigate this?" the ruffian leader sighed, "You are the one who provoked us. If you want to kill or behead me, I will frown. You are a coward!"

"I didn't see it, but he is still tough." Li Yi waved his whip, "The first one said, I let him get out of here intact. A gentleman's words are hard to chase."

"That girl in Xiangxiu asked me to do it."

It's not unreasonable for the gangster leader to be the boss. He can seize the opportunity and be much faster than others. As soon as the others open their mouths, he has already finished what he said.

"Xiangxiu?"

"As for my sweetheart, before you attended the Dengke Poetry Party, we were just like honeypots."

"But ever since the adults' poems came out, she seemed to be possessed and lost her soul. The room was filled with the adults' poems, and she became increasingly indifferent to me." The ruffian lowered his head, looking deeply hurt.

Li Yi threw the whip to the yamen servant, "Stop pretending, it's just a matter of flesh and blood, but there's a bit of sincerity."

Seeing that Li Yi didn't believe it, the gangster leader burst into tears, "Sir, if she hadn't revealed my hiding place this time, I would never have confessed to her under any circumstances."

"Since that bitch has no conscience and has a way of survival, if I want to take care of her anymore, then I would be really stupid as a grandma."

"I don't want to do anything to you, sir. I just want to show her in front of her how reliable a shabby scholar is like me."

Looking at the 1.9 meter strong man, whining and crying, the corner of Li Yi's mouth twitched, and he patted the arm of the chair, "Secretary of the Tribulation and Punishment Department, how can you have such courage?"

"It seems that I am very easy to fool."

"Sir, we are not from Jian'an. Our hometown was hit by a disaster and we had no way of living, so we came here to beg for food. At first, we wanted to find a job, but we found that we can't earn as much as fists."

"Because we are weak and weak, and we are from out of town, we can't defeat local snakes. We have to work our way up one level and pay homage to others."

"I still have to be bullied from time to time. I've had enough of it these days."

"Then the girl heard that I wanted to ransom her, so she took her somewhere else, gave up all her wealth, and asked me to tie up the adults and take her with me."

"I obviously agreed, but actually I just wanted to give the lady a good beating so that she could see the scholar's uselessness and end the girl's infatuation."

"When the time comes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Your Excellency, a weak scholar, will definitely not chase us."

"But who knows..." The gangster leader whimpered, his face covered with hurt.

"Sir, I really like her..."

"Woooooooo..."

Seeing the ruffian leader crying like a child, Li Yi didn't know how to react.

It sounds pretty miserable.

"Sir, what you just said is that a gentleman's words are hard to follow. I beg you to let Dunzi go. He is young, only thirteen years old. He has never tasted a woman. He has not done anything to you. He wants to die like this.

It’s really a wasted life.”

The gangster leader raised his head, faced Li Yi with his face covered with tears, and fell to the ground.

There was a very loud bang.

Li Yi raised his eyes, thinking that he was trying to find a way out for himself.

Standing up from the chair, Li Yi glanced at the group of people kneeling on the ground, and finally his eyes fell on a young man. This should be the target of the gangster leader.

He has wheat-colored skin and is quite strong. It looks like he has not been hungry on weekdays.

"Brother Niu, if I don't go out, eighteen years later, I will be a hero again!" Dunzi yelled, squinting his neck, glaring at Li Yi fiercely, and wanted to say harsh words.

The person kneeling on his left was knocked to the ground, "You bastard, what are you talking about?"

"Sir, the child is ignorant, so you should shut his mouth."

"I……"

Seeing that Dunzi was still shouting, the man on his right pounced on him and blocked his mouth with his shoulder.

"Bear thing, brothers can't survive, so you can't be more angry!"

"Well..."

Dunzi's eyes were wide open and glowing red, and he struggled hard.

But the person in his body didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

If this offends Li Yi, no one will survive.

Tears welled up from Dunzi's eyes, and he roared in his throat.

"Sir, you are a big shot, you must keep your word!"

The gangster leader raised his head, kowtowed again, and screamed. His face was originally filled with tears, but now it was filled with blood and tears, which was extremely shocking.

"Unbind people."

Li Yi pointed at Dunzi and said to the Yamen servant.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!!"

The gangster leader kowtowed repeatedly, turned to Dunzi and shouted, "If you dare to open your mouth to speak again, we will die in front of you immediately, do you understand?"

The gangster leader's eyes were as big as bells, and he had a fierce look on his face.

Dunzi gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead bulged like a loach.

"Take it out."

Li Yi sat back on the chair and spoke in a calm voice.

As Dunzi was taken away, the gangster leaders fell silent one by one.

In a situation of certain death, they want to be like a human being.

Isn't it just a stab in the neck? Eighteen years later, he is a good man again and has nothing to fear.

Tapping his fingers on his legs, Li Yi observed the group of people.

A quarter of an hour passed, but there was no begging for mercy.

"grown ups."

A government official came over and gave Li Yi a stack of documents, which showed what these people had done in Jian'an.

After reading through it, Li Yi raised his eyebrows. This group of people was quite interesting. They were looking for blackmail from gamblers and wife beaters, but they had no lives on their hands.

"Go get pen and paper." Li Yi said to the Yamen servant.

The gangsters looked at what Li Yi wrote there, and it was all incomprehensible. Why didn't he take action? Should they be tortured?

The scholar is most sinister and petty, and he may have other ideas.

Let him go, he is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and he is a grandson at every sound.

"I'll show you a way to survive,"

Putting down his pen, Li Yi looked at the gangsters and said, "Sign this note for mental damages of one thousand taels, and you will be able to get out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment immediately."

"From now on, just work by my side. When you pay off your debt, I will return your freedom."

The gangsters were stunned for a moment, then one of them said, "Do you care about the food?"

"Three meals a day, and occasionally a midnight snack."

"We choose this. If your lord says east, we will definitely go east and obey your orders." The gangster leader shook the blood that flowed into his eyes and grinned.

It is better to die than live.

If he hadn't lost his mind, he wouldn't have dragged everyone into this place.

They are untouchables, no different from cats or dogs. If they are killed with a stick, no one will express regret.

If you have a chance to survive, take it naturally.

It's nothing more than doing some hard work.

"Untie them."

After the gangsters finished pressing their fingerprints, Li Yi put the paper away.

Dunzi was outside, his eyes seemed to be filled with blood. When the gangsters came out, his eyes blinked.
