Chapter 92: Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced

In the morning, after having breakfast, Zhao Si checked in at the East City Military Headquarters, then he gritted his teeth and went to Ji's house with several colleagues.

They had done many things like fabricating charges and framing innocent people, but this was the first time they had targeted a noble lady.

When he thought of the prime minister who had made great military achievements and confiscated property, his legs and feet became weak and he wanted to turn around and leave.

But with just one word from Master Lu, the commander could dismiss him from his post and he also had many handles against him.

He had to obey even if he didn't want to.

When the devils fight, the little devils suffer.

As the lowest-ranking extra-staff servant in the East City Military Department, what else could he do?

I can only secretly pray that Mrs. Ji will be sensible and apologize to Mr. Lu. I also pray that Mr. Lu will stop while he is ahead and not go crazy and do something irreparable.

His colleagues obviously shared the same mood. When they arrived at the gate of Ji's mansion, they looked at each other and stretched out their right hands.

"Hammer-Scissors-Pa!"

Three scissors and a handkerchief.

Zhao Si lost.

He closed his eyes and rang the door knocker.

"Is Madam Ji here? We are the yamen runners from the East City Military Commission. Mr. Lu San said that Madam Ji stole his dog. Could you please go to the Military Commission and explain everything?"

After hearing this, the doorman said, "Please wait a moment," and sent someone to the inner courtyard to pass on the message.

After a while, the messenger returned and said with a smile, "Our lady needs to get ready for a while before she can go out. Gentlemen, please come in and have a cup of tea first."

Zhao Si felt a little relieved.

I was originally worried that Madam Ji would refuse to listen to the instructions, but I didn't expect her to be so polite, no different from an ordinary small vendor.

Thinking of this person's background, he suddenly understood.

The orphan girl from a remote village was just an ordinary citizen, and the common people always treated the yamen runners with great respect when they saw them.

Even though she was lucky enough to be a noble lady, she was still an ordinary person at heart.

Isn't it easy to control a mere commoner?

He strode with his head held high, led several colleagues into the Ji Mansion, and followed the messenger maid to the reception room in the back house.

While drinking tea, he crossed his legs and looked at the layout of the reception room, thinking that he could brag about it when he met other colleagues later.

He was a guest at the prime minister's house when his property was confiscated!

Unexpectedly, after drinking a cup of tea, he was overwhelmed by sleepiness, his eyes went dark, and he fell sideways on the chair.

When I opened my eyes and woke up, I found myself lying on my back in a dark room.

My whole body felt like a drunken mess and I was unable to move.

He barely turned his neck and looked to the side.

What came into view was a wide variety of torture instruments. The number and variety of these instruments were much more than those in the torture chamber they had privately set up in the East City Bingmasi.

And blood was dripping down!

It's like hell.

He was startled for a moment and turned his head to the other side. A man with a bull's head grabbed a knife, slashed his abdomen, and pulled out a bloody kidney.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The clothes piled on his chest blocked his view, and he could not check his abdomen, but he could feel the touch of his abdomen being cut open and the emptiness without his internal organs.

This... is this really the underworld?

Just as he was thinking this, a man with a horse face appeared next to the minotaur and sneered, "Haven't you explained yet? His organs have been ripped out. He'll be reincarnated as a crab in his next life."

Crab?

Being reborn as a mouse or cockroach is better than being reborn as a crab! He loves eating crabs the most!

"What do you want to tell me?" He tried to open his mouth. "I'll tell you everything."

The Horse-Faced Guard said indifferently: "The crimes you committed in the human world."

Zhao Si spilled the beans from a bamboo tube and told all his evil deeds.

Such as extorting merchants, forging documents, fabricating charges to arrest innocent people, looting shops in the name of arresting thieves, abusing lynching, helping the third young master of their own commander's family to teach those who offended him a lesson... and deceiving Madam Ji to go to the East City Military Department.

Every time he confessed something, the Minotaur would write it down next to it with pen and ink.

Finally, he placed his entire palm on the tray containing the kidneys, stained it with blood, and then pressed it on the confession.

He looked at the kidney and felt like crying but had no tears.

Will he be reborn as a man without kidneys in his next life?

How can I live then?

The Minotaur walked towards the door with the confession in hand. After opening it, he said, "My Lords, the testimony is here. Please review it."

He couldn't help but be curious.

Is the "big man" mentioned by the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monster King Yama, the King of Hell, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, or the City God?

The next moment, several people walked in from outside the door, and several familiar faces appeared before him.

Aren't these the judges from the Criminal Justice Department?

He has handed over many prisoners to them!

One of the judges walked up to him and exclaimed in admiration, "Madam Ji is truly brilliant and ingenious. With just a cup of datura tea and a pig's kidney, she managed to extract a confession that we might not even be able to extract by torture. I admire you so much."

Zhao Si: “!!!”

Is this a pork kidney?!

He suddenly found that he could move, so he quickly sat up and looked down at his stomach, which was indeed intact.

Good news: If you don’t get your kidneys bitten, you can be reborn as a perfect person in your next life.

Bad news: You're about to be killed.

He looked at Madam Ji with a look of grief as she took off her bull-head mask, revealing her female face.

How can a person be so evil?

He actually pretended to be the Ox-Head and Horse-Face to deceive him!

Thinking of the crimes he had just confessed, he could only comfort himself that he would not be lonely on the road to the underworld, as he had the commander and his son and many colleagues to accompany him.

Lu Chuanzong was at the East City Military Headquarters, feeling sorry for his son's leg.

The doctor said that it would take more than half a year for this broken leg to recover, and even after it heals, it may not be possible to walk normally.

His first two sons died young, leaving him with only this one son. He was afraid that he would melt if he held him in his palms, and afraid that he would dissolve if he held him in his mouth. He worshipped him like an ancestor, but he turned out to be a cripple!

If it was done by someone else, he would have arrested the person and stuffed him into the "hungry ghost cage" he invented, torturing him to death.

But that person happened to be Ji Changqing's elder sister-in-law.

Although he had a daughter who was favored by the emperor, he still knew clearly who he could and could not offend.

She could only comfort her son: "When the storm has passed, I will catch the maid who hurt you and let you teach her a lesson."

Lu Zuan replied calmly: “Okay.”

I thought that it would take forever for him to take action, and he didn't have the patience.

He glanced toward the door and frowned.

How do Zhao Si and his gang do their job? They've been there for quite some time, but they still haven't managed to trick that bitch into coming. What a loser!

Just as he was about to send someone to Ji's house to find out what was going on, a group of people suddenly walked in from outside the door.

Seeing that it was the Chief Justice of the Criminal Justice Department, Lu Chuanzong hurried to greet him and said, "Master Zhang, what brings you here?"

The man raised his hand and an arrest warrant appeared in front of him.

"Lu Chuanzong, commander of the East City Military Command, is suspected of abuse of power, extortion, operating a private torture chamber, and disregarding human life... His son, Lu Zuan, has repeatedly caused casualties and committed numerous crimes. He is also being arrested."
