Chapter 1226: In the Prison

Beizhen Fusi is the agency responsible for criminal investigation. It can arrest, interrogate, execute and execute persons on its own without having to go through general judicial institutions. Countless people have died under torture.

Because the former governor Lu Bing gained the emperor's extreme trust, the power of Beizhen Fusi returned to its peak, even the always arrogant Dongchang was suppressed.

It was Yan Hong's first time to come to the famous Beizhen Fusi. The moment he walked in, he felt that there was an atmosphere here that was obviously different from ordinary yamen.

Even though it was broad daylight, the courtyard of Novo University was deserted and the surroundings looked eerie.

Lu Yi was accustomed to it, and led Yan Hong through the two courtyard gates and directly to the imperial prison of Beizhen Fusi inside, which was the prison where Xia Yan, the chief minister, was once imprisoned.

The yamen and prisons in the capital of Tianxia all face the west, but the yamen of Beizhen Fusi faces the south. The surrounding walls are three feet high, and the thickness of the blue bricks is comparable to the city wall.

Different from the brick and wood structure of ordinary yamen, the gate of Fusi Chao Prison in Beizhen was built with several large stones, and the word "Prison" on the Chao Prison was painted with red paint, making it particularly eye-catching.

"I sent him to the felon cell!"

Lu Yi explained to Yan Hong that he would use the lights on the wall to follow the stairs to the upper level of the prison.

Yan Hong had heard about the imperial prison in Fusi, Beizhen, but had never really seen it. At this moment, he also paid attention to his surroundings. He found that not only was it heavily guarded, but there was only one exit, and there was indeed a dragon-breaking stone on it.

Yan Hong already smelled a foul smell before he reached the second floor, and couldn't help but cover his nostrils with a handkerchief. As Lu Yi came to the cell above, the sun was shining brightly just now, but now it was dark.

"Verify the license!"

There is a door in the felon area on the second floor, and the cell leader inside said loudly and cautiously.

"It's me!"

Lu Yi flicked the torch to his face and said calmly to the prison head inside.

"It turns out to be Lord Qianshi, the villain deserves to die!"

The cell leader saw Lu Yi's face clearly through the light, and also heard Lu Yi's voice. Naturally, he did not dare to ask for the card verification again. Like a pug, he hurriedly opened the door of the cell and pulled the person out.

Welcomed in.

Yan Hong followed Lu Yi into the heavy crime area, and saw a prisoner tied to a wooden stake. The prisoner looked unkempt, and the white shirt on his body was stained with blood stains. He was hanging there with his head hanging down, but he didn't know that he was dead.

It's alive.

"This young master, that one is a remnant of the White Lotus Sect!"

The cell leader noticed Yan Hong's gaze and explained in a flattering manner.

Yan Hong nodded noncommittally, then looked up at Lu Yi without hesitation. Lu Yi asked directly and loudly: "Where is Lan Daoxing who just came in?"

"Master Qianshi, he is locked up in the cell inside! Do you want to bring him over?" the cell leader asked flatteringly.

Lu Yi did not say a word, but turned to look at Yan Hong, resolutely leaving the decision-making power to Yan Hong.

Yan Hong made a slight gesture and then made a decision: "Let's pay homage first and then fight! Please lead the way, prison chief. I want to go and see Lan Daoxing first!"

The cell leader glanced at Yan Hong unexpectedly and realized that this young man had extraordinary bearing, so he honestly led the way.

After passing through two door cards, the group came to a cell.

But Lan Daoxing, who was wearing a blue robe, was locked inside. Lan Daoxing was lying on a wooden bed. He seemed to have heard the movement, and sat up curiously to look at the person coming.

From being a Taoist priest who gained the emperor's trust to being a prisoner, the gap was undoubtedly huge, and his suffering had only just begun.

Lan Daoxing's complexion was obviously not as good as before, his face was full of fatigue, and his whole person was obviously a little decadent. His eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and finally landed on Yan Hong, who was standing in the dark, and he immediately asked

Said: "Who are you?"

"Taoist Master Lan, are you okay?" Yan Hong stepped forward and greeted him indifferently.

Lan Daoxing gradually saw Yan Hong's face clearly through the candlelight outside. The two had met several times in Xiyuan, and he blurted out: "Yan Hong?"

"Daozhang Lan, you should know why I am here, right?" Yan Hong has been observing Lan Daoxing's words and deeds, and trying to find a breakthrough in him.

Lan Daoxing pretended to be confused, but he snorted softly through his nostrils, then stretched, lay back on the wooden bed again and said lazily: "Master Yan, please speak frankly!"

"Who ordered you to slander my grandfather?" Yan Hong was not surprised by his behavior, but directly questioned him.

Lan Daoxing put his hands on the back of his head and replied matter-of-factly: "No one ordered me to do it, Pindao is possessed by Zi Gu!"

"Your little trick has been exposed long ago, and now you are still pretending to be a ghost here. Could it be that you are using the torture tools of our Beizhen Fusi as decoration?" Lu Yi, who has always had a fiery temper, immediately threatened angrily.

Lan Daoxing was lying on the wooden bed, but he remained silent when facing the angry Lu Yi, as he had no intention of speaking.

Lu Yi wanted to step forward, but Yan Hong stretched out his hand to stop him. He continued to test Lan Daoxing and said, "Daoist Master Lan, are you under the orders of Xu Jie?"

Lan Daoxing seemed to have already prepared a plan, and was even more interested in helping Xu Jie clear up the relationship. He immediately replied loudly: "It is the emperor's original intention to get rid of traitorous officials. It is the duty of the censor to correct corrupt officials. Now that Yan Song has been ordered to serve as an official by the emperor,

Yan Shifan was imprisoned for corruption. All these things are just the way of heaven. What does it have to do with Mr. Xu Ge?"

"Even now, you still refuse to recruit, right?" Lu Yi listened to these dirty words and asked with a hot temper no longer.

Lan Daoxing responded with his legs crossed as if he was a hunter who was not afraid of the boiling water: "I will never admit it, let alone help a tyrant!"

"Okay, very good, come here, torture me!" Lu Yi was already irritated and immediately gave the order loudly.

Yan Hong had been observing Lan Daoxing's reaction. After looking at his various behaviors, he had already concluded that the matter was under the instigation of Xu Jie and a political conspiracy initiated by Xu Jie.

When things have reached this point, it is time for execution. As long as Lan Daoxing's mouth is opened, he will be able to successfully survive this catastrophe in the Yan Mansion and even return to the pinnacle of power.

Two Jinyi guards stepped forward aggressively, grabbed Lan Daoxing who was lying on the wooden bed, and involuntarily threw him to the ground. Unexpectedly, the ground was uneven, and Lan Daoxing's teeth knocked against the ground, and he fell off.

He lost a front tooth and it hurt so much that he thought he could call his father and mother.
