Chapter Fifty-second Ji Koizumi, Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments
"Okay, tell me, why did you want to assassinate me?" Shen Li said.
"Sir, I assassinated you simply because I have enmity with your Qingyun Sect. There is no other reason." Wang Gang said.
"Fart! Then how do you know my whereabouts? Who told you?" Shen Li scolded.
"Sir, I have been living in the Zhuque Empire for more than 20 years. Isn't it normal to know a few people in the government?" Wang Gang argued.
A golden flame came out of Shen Li's palm, waved it in front of Wang Gang, and said seriously: "You will be lenient if you confess, and stern if you resist. I don't have time to listen to your lies. You know, I have a way to make you worse." die!"
"Sir, please don't, please don't, I say! My superior is Ji Xiaoquan, the Minister of Punishment. I just follow orders, sir. Just ask him." Wang Gang saw that Shen Li was going to resort to tricks, and he hurriedly replied.
"Sima Lang, go and capture Ji Xiaoquan and confront him. Keep a low profile and try not to disturb anyone. This is the Prime Minister's token in case of emergency." After Shen Li finished speaking, he took out a token. The card was handed over to Sima Lang.
Sima Lang put the token into his arms and said, "I know what I'm doing. I'm just catching a mortal. I'll be back soon."
After Sima Lang left, Shen Li sent out Xiao Yingxue and Cui Jiao and asked Wang Gang, "Are you really from the Qinglian Sect?"
"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" Wang Gang said, glaring at Shen Li.
"Yo! You're acting like a brat again!"
Shen Li went up and kicked Wang Gang, making Wang Gang scream.
"I ask you again, are you from the Qinglian Sect?" Shen Li said impatiently.
"No!" Wang Gang said through gritted teeth.
"Hmph, okay, you are so stubborn, right? When I hand you over to the Qingyun Sect, I will exchange you for points!" Shen Li said.
After Shen Li sat down, picked up the cup, and was about to drink tea, Wang Gang broke free from the bonds with a bang, turned his right hand into a palm, and slapped Shen Li directly, shouting:
"Dog officer! Go to hell!"
Shen Li quickly turned his left hand into a palm to deal with Wang Gang.
After the two people tried to connect their palms, there was no loss-lose situation, but the two palms were sucked together tightly.
"You! You are despicable!" Wang Gang's face was distorted as he scolded Shen Lidao.
"I'm not mean, you asked for it." Shen Li said with a smile.
In just half a minute, Shen Li had sucked away most of the true energy in Wang Gang's body, and even the golden elixir was gradually dissolving.
At this time, Wang Gang's lips had turned white, and he said with great difficulty: "The people from Qingyun Sect are really cruel."
After Wang Gang's golden elixir had completely melted, Shen Li put away the "Returning to Origin and Absorbing Stars" technique. Wang Gang seemed to be like a deflated ball, collapsing to the ground, and twitching once or twice from time to time.
"If you don't eat the toast, you'll be fined with wine! You can't blame me!"
Shen Li sat down and drank tea.
After a while, Sima Lang entered the house carrying a brown sack.
Sima Lang dropped the sack to the ground, and there was a sound of "Ouch, Ouch" coming from the sack.
"Shen Li, I brought you the man. I haven't used the token, so I'll give it back to you." Sima Lang said.
"Well done!"
Shen Li first put away the token, then squatted down and began to untie the sack.
"My hero, please spare my life, my hero spare my life! I will give you any ransom, I have money, please don't hurt my life..."
"Who cares about your money? Do you recognize me?" Shen Li said to the head that had just emerged from the sack.
"Shen? Master Shen? Aren't you Shen Li, the newly appointed censor? And Sima Lang! What are you going to do?" Ji Xiaoquan, the Minister of Punishment, looked at the two of them and said in surprise.
Shen Li smiled and said: "Master Ji, please come out quickly!"
Ji Xiaoquan got out of the sack, stood up and patted the dust on the silk pajamas he was wearing twice, and said: "You are so rude, you soiled all my new pajamas in the middle of the night. What do you mean by taking me here?"
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Ji, for delaying your rest. Do you know this person?" Shen Li pointed at Wang Gang on the ground and said.
"How could I know these dishonest people? If you have anything to say, just say it!" Ji Xiaoquan glanced at Wang Gang who had passed out and said.
"Master Ji, you'd better take a closer look at this person. Maybe you really know him?" Sima Lang said from the side.
Ji Xiaoquan knelt down and took a closer look at Wang Gang's face, feeling a little uneasy: "This guy seems to have confessed me, otherwise Sima Lang and Shen Li wouldn't have kidnapped me in the middle of the night, and they would have beaten me to death anyway." I cannot admit this, otherwise my life will be at stake."
"I don't know this person at all! You kidnapped the court official for no reason. I will go back and write a memorial to impeach you two!" Ji Xiaoquan pointed at the two of them and said arrogantly.
"Master Ji, don't be so angry. It doesn't matter if you don't know him. The key is that he said he knows you!" Shen Li teased.
"There are so many people who know me! Even if the Prime Minister supports you, the court will not tolerate your misbehavior!" Ji Xiaoquan waggled his index finger and pointed at Shen Li and shouted.
Shen Li went up and grabbed the pointing finger of Ji Xiaoquan, and then pinched it downwards with the reverse knuckle.
"Ouch! Ouch! Lord Shen, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..." Ji Xiaoquan wailed.
Shen Li let go of his hand and said harshly: "If Master Ji really doesn't know this person, Shen will definitely come to apologize for what happened today! If Master Ji dares to lie, hum! He will definitely suffer physical pain!"
Ji Xiaoquan felt uncomfortable in his heart: "I am the second-rank Minister of Punishment, and I usually torture others. How can anyone dare to torture me? This guy named Shen is young and energetic, and he has the support of the Prime Minister. I'm afraid it's really true. To be able to do such a thing, I have to kill his energy first!"
Ji Xiaoquan glanced sideways at Shen Li and scolded loudly: "Young man, don't be too arrogant!"
Shen Li suddenly pulled out the blood-drinking knife and held it in front of Ji Xiaoquan's neck. He smiled coldly and said:
"If you're not angry, how can you still be called a young man?"
At this time, Ji Xiaoquan felt the chilling air close at hand, his legs were shaking unconsciously, and he actually peed his pants in fear.
Sima Lang said calmly from the side: "Master Ji, you have lost your composure."
"..."
Shen Li took back the knife and said jokingly: "Master Ji, you are the leader of a department and a person who has seen the world. I didn't expect that a mere knife could scare you like this?"
"Master Shen, I really don't know this person. Please let me go back quickly. I beg you!" Ji Xiaoquan clasped his hands together and cried.
Shen Li walked over, knelt down, and patted Wang Gang's face.
"Wake up, wake up quickly, stop pretending, look who's coming, there's no point in pretending anymore."
Wang Gang slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and said, "Huh? Who are you? Huh? Who am I? Huh? Where am I?"
Shen Li thought to himself: "You are really good at acting. Your acting skills are as good as those of the Academy Award-winning actor! Are you pretending to be crazy? Okay, I'll let you pretend to be crazy for me!"
Golden flames ignited in Shen Li's palm, and he slapped Wang Gang with his palm. Wang Gang immediately rolled on the ground wailing in pain.
Shen Li said: "Since he is crazy, there is no use value."
"Master Shen, please spare my life. Master Shen, I'm not crazy. Please, I can't bear it..." Wang Gang begged while rolling on the ground.
Ji Xiaoquan on the side looked at Wang Gang's miserable state and turned pale with fear.
Shen Li pointed at Wang Gang's body, dissipated the fire poison for him, and said: "I'm warning you! Don't waste my time anymore. Do you know Master Ji?"
