Chapter 361 Heaven is Unfair
Without even thinking, Jiang Yuwei used the highest level of punishment from the Martial Alliance: "Guards, throw her into the water dungeon to reflect on her actions."
The Water Prison is a place used by the Martial Alliance to imprison people who have made mistakes and spies. Generally speaking, only those who have committed extremely serious crimes will be imprisoned here.
Even if those who enter the water dungeon are spared any form of torture, the mere act of being immersed in water for an extended period can cause severe damage to their bodies.
If other punishments are added, the person will be severely injured, even if they don't die.
But why should they go unpunished?
The Marquis of Wu'an's heir coldly said, "Out of respect for you, sir, I will hand the man over to Alliance Leader Jiang for processing. However, I hope Alliance Leader Jiang will not show favoritism. After all, the governor is representing His Majesty on this tour, representing the face of the emperor. If Alliance Leader Jiang intends to secretly protect him... don't blame me for impeaching you for disrespecting the imperial majesty when I return!"
Jiang Yuwei trembled and quickly said, "Your Highness, rest assured, absolutely not!"
The Marquis of Wu'an's heir nodded indifferently: "Then you must interrogate her carefully. I suspect that she is deliberately targeting you because she knows your identity, and she may be a spy from an enemy country."
Through the combined efforts of Yu Zhiyi and the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an, Chen Ruolan's fate changed from being imprisoned in a water dungeon to being tortured in one.
Even a normal person would find it unbearable to stay in a water dungeon for an extended period of time, even without being submerged in water.
Once you have an injury, all injuries will automatically worsen several times over.
This Aunt Chen is in for a lot of trouble.
Yu Zhiyi did not find such methods cruel. Compared to what Chen Ruolan had done to her own mother, it was already quite lenient to let her be tortured while she was conscious and healthy.
You know, my mother almost lost both her and her unborn child back then!
Before she had even finished her postpartum confinement period, she was already facing the pain of being separated from her daughter.
Although there is no evidence at the moment, Yu Zhiyi has a feeling that this matter is also related to Chen Ruolan.
Unfortunately, Ji Guangdai died too quickly; she didn't have time to ask questions or search his soul.
But it doesn't matter. If we can't ask Ji Guangdai, we'll ask Chen Ruolan. No matter how much this woman is hiding, once the truth talisman is applied, she'll have no choice but to obey.
But Yu Zhiyi doesn't plan to use the truth-telling talisman right now.
Let's keep her in the water dungeon for a few days first.
We have to pay the interest, right?
The six guards that the Marquis of Wu'an's heir brought to search Juxian Manor were all injured. The others, though seemingly unharmed, were exhausted after being starved for three or four days.
The two carriages that Yu Zhiyi had requested before setting off came in handy.
"Let's go back."

Martial Arts Alliance.
By then, it was already dark.
The sky, which had been clear and sunny, was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
A chilling wind swept across Mingshan Mountain, howling fiercely.
The people on the mountain were made uncomfortable by the terrifying wind: "Why is the wind so noisy today?"
"Yeah, it sounds kind of creepy."
It was lunchtime, and many people had gathered in the dining hall that the Martial Alliance had prepared for everyone.
They had seen their fair share of bad weather, and many of them had visited the Martial Alliance many times, and there had been occasional periods of unusual weather, but they had never encountered such a terrifying situation.
The sky was so dark it seemed like it might fall down at any moment, and the howling wind stung your face, as if it would blow you away at any second.
The trees along the roadside swayed violently in the howling wind, as if they might be uprooted at any moment.
"Do you think this might be a bad omen?"
Suddenly, a pleasant female voice rang out.
Everyone in the dining room was stunned.
Someone instinctively asked, "What bad omen?"
The female voice said, "The Martial Alliance has held so many grand events, and there has never been a mishap. Only this time, the weather is really strange. Could it be an omen from heaven?"
Some people couldn't help but follow this line of thought and then discussed it with the people around them, saying, "It seems to be true. The Martial Alliance has held hundreds or even thousands of grand events, and we have never encountered a situation like this before."
"If something really happened, why was everything fine at other times, but this time it happened?"
The man thought along this line of thought for a while and said, "To be honest, the only difference between this year's Earth Ranking Competition and other grand events is that there is a Miss Jiang here."
"Think about it, Miss Jiang has been missing for more than ten years. During these years, the Martial Alliance has never had any problems. But after she came back, the heavens began to give ominous signs."
Someone exclaimed, "So, Miss Jiang the Second also participated in the last horse racing event, and as a result, a cave appeared in Juxian Manor, and more than a dozen people from the Xuantian Sect died!"
These words immediately caused widespread panic.
Yu Bingyue listened with satisfaction to the discussions in the dining room, her red lips slightly curved as she withdrew, concealing her accomplishment and fame.
When the Jiang brothers rushed into the dining room after hearing the news, there was a moment of silence in the room.
However, soon everyone started clamoring, "Young Master Jiang, Heaven has sent down a warning, indicating that it is not suitable to hold the Earth Ranking Conference anymore. Should the Earth Ranking Conference be suspended?"
"Yes, it's obvious that God is against it. I'm worried that something might happen when we go on stage tomorrow. It's normal for people in the martial arts world to get injured or killed in a proper competition. We can accept that. But I can't accept it if someone gets injured or even killed because of some random person."
Jiang Liuyi frowned at the person who spoke and said coldly, "Explain yourself. Who are you referring to as this 'mysterious person'?"
The person who was speaking felt as if he were being stared at by a majestic lion when Jiang Liuyi looked at him with cold eyes. He broke out in a cold sweat and stammered for a long time without being able to say anything coherent.
You Bingyue frowned as she watched this scene, then gave Jiang Liuyi a deep look.
Unexpectedly, that woman's brother was quite a figure.
She felt very resentful.
God is so unfair.
She is a transmigrator, and the Queen of the Night; she should be the darling of this world.
However, the starting point of her transmigration was just a farming family. Her parents were genuine peasants, uneducated, incompetent, and vulgar.
The family ate coarse food and wild vegetables.
Oh no, calling it chaff is an insult to chaff.
That family was actually eating pig swill!
Just one whiff of it makes you want to vomit.
But Yu Zhiyi, that detestable woman, first of all, had parents who were ministers, and it was because of the existence of the minister's mansion that she was able to marry a favored son of heaven like Du Ziheng.
She was also fortunate enough to learn metaphysical skills, which she used to attract the attention of the powerful and wealthy. Even the current emperor took a second look at her because of her metaphysical skills.
After finally losing the halo of the aforementioned woman, she turned around and became the second young lady of the martial arts alliance, with Jiang Erye, known as the Overlord Tiger of Mingshan, as her father, and a little tyrant as her brother.
Even her mother was once a renowned female knight-errant.
Why should I?!
