Sky Prison.

Chen Shisan, the chief guard of the Mingjing Division, had been waiting for Lin Che long ago.

Apparently, he had received the imperial decree. Upon seeing Lin Che arrive, he immediately went to greet her:

"Meet Champion Hou——"

"According to His Majesty's decree, the condemned prisoners have been moved to the innermost cell. Apart from the innermost cell, you may choose any other prisoners."

Lin Che bowed to Chen Shisan and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

"Duty, no trouble—please!"

Chen Shisan said this and led the way.

To be honest, there is one advantage to dealing with the Mingjing Division. That is, everything is done according to the rules.

Last time, he was about to enter the palace to see His Majesty, but was also stopped by the Mirror Office. Logically, they had already formed a feud.

But now that Lin Che was selecting prisoners to serve as the palace soldiers, these Mingjing Guards, who had always hated evil, also did their job obediently, and the whole process was not delayed at all.

Arriving at the first cell, Lin Che began to select.

But he overlooked one thing, that is, these prisoners looked almost the same, wearing prison uniforms, dirty, smelly, with disheveled hair, and difficult to tell them apart.

"Why did this come in?"

Lin Che casually pointed at a long-haired man in the cell.

Chen Shisan recognized him at a glance: "He used to be an official in the Ministry of Revenue. He embezzled public funds and was sentenced to eighty years in prison."

"Eighty years?"

Lin Che was stunned and looked at the long-haired man, who should be around forty years old.

This has been going on for eighty years, why not just give him a knife?

"Eighty years, can he live that long?"

"If he were outside, he should be able to. But in the Sky Prison, he won't survive that long. Drag him out when he dies." Chen Shisan answered calmly.

It seems that he is accustomed to this kind of thing.

"You can't have dirty hands and feet—"

Lin Che skipped this one and looked at the next one: "What about this one? What's it for?"

"He's Zhou Anbo's son. He was arrested for raping a six-year-old girl to death..."

“What a scumbag!! Why not sentence him to death?” Lin Che felt an inexplicable surge of anger.

"Because the victim's parents also died under strange circumstances. This prisoner probably won't live long either. He's assaulted by other prisoners every day. He's already a hopeless cripple. Even if he could get out, he'd only be a eunuch, not a palace soldier."

Lin Che felt quite relieved upon hearing this.

I continued to ask questions one by one and found that those who were imprisoned in the Sky Prison were not good people.

Every one of them is scum.

Although there were quite a few with good cultivation, Lin Che really didn't dare to use them.

Is it really impossible for me to enter the Heavenly Prison to look for the palace soldiers?

"Hey, aren't there any people wronged in your prison? These are all unforgivable demons. If I bring them with me, they won't protect me, they will kill me."

Chen Shisan had anticipated this and suggested, "If the Champion Marquis wants to take another look, he can also go to our Mingjing Division's cell."

yes!

There are also cells in the Mingjing Division, and he had been detained in a cell in the Mingjing Division for a night before.

Lin Che immediately went to the Mirror Department.

The distance between the Heavenly Prison and the Mirror Bureau was not far, so Lin Che arrived there quickly.

Chen Shisan led the way again, and this time it was also very smooth.

Lin Che saw at a glance that the cell where he had spent the night before was already occupied by a new prisoner.

She's actually a woman!

The cell in Mingjingsi was not as dirty as the Tianlao, and the woman's hair was not messy. She was just sitting curled up on the wooden bed with a dull expression.

She had a pretty face, but there were two hideous scars on her face, which looked like they were left by a whip.

"What did she do?"

"Her name is Liu Miao. She used to make a living by training animals. But after a conflict with a guest, she ordered twelve wild beasts to devour six guests alive. The worst-case scenario was that one was snatched up in mid-air by two giant eagles and torn into pieces."

"The motive for the murder was quite simple. The six guests were all high-ranking officials and nobles, and among them was a nine-year-old child. While watching a performance, he took a fancy to a dog and personally went on stage to whip it."

"Liu Miao's persuasion was ineffective, and she was instead assaulted by several nobles. The scars on her face were from being whipped on the spot. They even called her a lousy performer. It was just a child. They were lucky to have the dog beast fall in love with them, but now they've frightened their young master, and they're demanding compensation from Liu Miao."

"The situation was very chaotic at the time. In the end, Liu Miao simply ordered the beast to kill. She has been imprisoned here for three years... The department has been searching for evidence, but hasn't found any yet. If we follow the Daqian law, her fate will not be very good. Six people died, and the brother-in-law of one of them was a third-rank official!"

Lin Che finally understood that naughty children and their naughty parents still have power.

Liu Miao's behavior was indeed extreme.

But for Lin Che, it was a great relief.

Moreover, when Chen Shisan introduced it this way, he was clearly hinting at something.

Lin Che felt both sympathy and admiration. Such a person had courage and determination, and could also tame animals. It would be useful to have him around.

If he recruited Liu Miao as a palace soldier now, Liu Miao would definitely be grateful to him.

"What about this other one?"

Lin Che secretly remembered Liu Miao in his heart, and then pointed to the cell next to him. The prisoner who looked like a dead person was lying on the ground.
