The Imperial Prison of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Shen Lian looked at the shopkeeper and waiter, who had been beaten black and blue.
The huge interrogation room.
The tiger bench, chili water, a stove, a branding iron, a leather whip covered in barbs...
All kinds of instruments of torture are available.
The bellows made a whooshing sound.
The flames in the stove were burning brightly.
The eerie blue flames shot out more than a foot.
Shen Lian threw several iron rods into the stove, while a large pot of boiling water was being boiled on another stove.
"How did you plot this? Tell us the truth."
The shopkeepers and waiters were all terrified.
The air was filled with the smell of urine.
Many people are already scared out of their wits.
"Sir, we really don't know anything."
"Sir, the poisoning has nothing to do with us. We have been framed."
Shen Lian snorted coldly: "You guys won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."
Shen Lian walked up to the shopkeeper, whose face had been swollen like a pig's head from being slapped.
Chen Lian grabbed the shopkeeper's trousers and ripped a large hole in them with a tearing sound.
The shopkeeper was so frightened he almost fainted on the spot.
A large pot of water was boiling on a stove.
The pot of water was bubbling and gurgling.
"Shopkeeper, it seems you won't confess unless I use the Great Law." Shen Lian ordered someone to bring over a bucket of hot water.
"There's a famous dish called 'Donkey Meat with Sauce.' Do you know how to make it?"
How could the shopkeeper who went downstairs today not know how to make donkey meat sauce?
The so-called "pouring donkey meat" involves continuously pouring boiling water over the donkey's legs.
The boiling water is enough to cook the donkey meat.
Then use an iron brush to scrub off the cooked donkey meat bit by bit.
It is said that this method of preparing donkey meat results in the most delicious flavor.
The shopkeeper turned pale with fright.
"Sir, I know how to make this dish."
"I think your legs are quite nice, white and plump. If we use your legs to cook some meat, it will taste delicious."
Shen Lian snapped his fingers, and a member of the Imperial Guard took a ladle and scooped up a ladle of boiling water.
The shopkeeper quickly said, "I'll tell you everything, as long as you don't torture me. I'll tell you everything, whatever you tell me to say."
Upon hearing the shopkeeper's words, the Imperial Guard poured a ladle of hot water directly onto him, scalding the shopkeeper and causing him to scream in pain.
"What do you mean by saying whatever we tell you to say? You guys at Tianxialou are extremely despicable. All we're asking you to do is tell the truth about what you've done."
"It's because the villain didn't think things through and was blinded by greed."
"My lord, I am jealous of the First Floor's booming business and want to poison the food there."
"If the guests on the first floor eat the poisoned food and get poisoned, no one will dare to continue eating on the first floor."
"Our business will get better and better."
Next, they answered whatever the Imperial Guards asked them.
No one dared to hide anything.
...
The reception room of the government office.
Ji Yanran from Tianxia Hui stood there respectfully, while Jiang Tian crossed his legs.
Natalia and Yelia, the two little girls, stood on either side of Jiang Tian, serving him.
"My lord, the manager of Tianxialou Restaurant is reckless in his actions, daring to commit such a despicable act as poisoning."
“Punishment is yours to do as you please; this matter has nothing to do with our World Society.”
Ji Yanran is trying to shirk all responsibility.
“What you say, young lady,” Jiang Tian smiled slightly, and Natalia peeled a Sunshine Rose grape and put it in his mouth.
"I hope you will believe me, sir. I know nothing about this matter."
"Your Excellency is fully entitled to punish the manager and waiter of Tianxialou severely according to the law."
"Ji Yanran, I am not interested in this matter. I have already handed over the smuggling case to the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
As for how far the Embroidered Uniform Guard will investigate this matter, I have no idea.
"Even if my daughter didn't know about this, she still bears an inescapable responsibility."
After all, this whole world belongs to your World Society.
You won't escape responsibility if they hold you accountable.
“You…” Ji Yanran clenched her fists, but soon she loosened them.
"My lord, why make things difficult for a weak woman like me? It's not easy for me, a woman from another world, to support the World Society. There's no need for you to be so ruthless as to bully a woman like me."
After she finished speaking, the little girl's eyes reddened, and tears like pearls fell from her eyes.
Jiang Tian didn't say anything and continued eating grapes while watching her performance.
Seeing that Jiang Tian remained unmoved, Ji Yanran simply covered her face with a handkerchief and began to sob.
The little girl cried and became more and more upset.
As she cried, the little girl burst into loud sobs.
"Why is my life so miserable? I'm just a woman, and my subordinates did all sorts of bad things behind my back. I didn't know anything about it, but I have to bear the responsibility."
"God, why are you so heartless and cruel to me?"
"I am so miserable, I might as well die."
Ji Yanran cried as she peeked through her fingers at Jiang Tian's reaction.
Ji Yanran cried for the duration of half an incense stick.
When the little girl took the handkerchief off, her big, bright eyes were swollen from crying, looking like peaches.
“Ji Yanran, you’ve put me in a difficult position.” Jiang Tian stood up, shrugged, and spread his hands. “Although I have invested in the First Restaurant, I’m not the manager.”
"Besides, we caught you poisoning people on the spot. If we hadn't caught you red-handed, who knows how many more people would have been poisoned."
Jiang Tian snapped his fingers, and Chen Feilong placed a packet of poison in front of Ji Yanran.
"This is the poison your waiter carries with him. I've consulted the doctor. It's arsenic; even a tiny bit with just a fingernail can kill dozens of people."
“Girl, if we throw this whole packet of arsenic into our pot, who knows how many people will be poisoned to death.”
Jiang Tian's words became increasingly harsh.
The young girl understood that there was no turning back now.
“According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, it would be unreasonable for the Embroidered Uniform Guard not to deal with you.”
Ji Yanran stepped forward: "My lord, whether or not to punish me is entirely up to you. I will agree to whatever conditions you set."
“I’m telling you, I want 1 million Japanese slaves, and now I’m increasing it to 2 million. No matter what methods your Tianxia Society tries to use, I want to see 2 million Japanese slaves within two years, and they will be castrated.”
“Okay…it’s a deal.” The young girl knew that buying and selling Japanese slaves from Japan was not a difficult task.
“Young lady, listen to my advice: fair competition is the most important thing in business. Don’t just think about those petty thefts and underhanded things, because that will only harm yourself and others.”
