The jailer said, "You can't just see Lord Shen whenever you want. Blame your good daughter. Someone put in a good word for us to treat you well!"
Anbi Huai said, "What? I don't know, it has nothing to do with me, I'm innocent!"
The jailer said, "Just now you were saying your daughter would get you out of there, and now you're saying it has nothing to do with you?"
"Your fate has run its course, and you still won't accept it!"
Anbihuai's eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into as he struggled to escape.
But he hadn't even had a full meal of spoiled food these past few days, so he didn't have the strength to break free from these big men. In the end, he was dragged away unwillingly.
......
After a long day of tedious paperwork, Shen Zishan finally had some free time to rest and wait for his shift to end.
I arrived here early this morning and received an imperial decree from the capital, ordering me to thoroughly investigate this matter and ensure that the criminal justice system is transparent and fair.
Shen Zishan felt that he had made the right decision in sending his daughter to the palace.
The case of An Bihai is a case in point. If it weren't for the fact that his daughter had some influence in the palace, the emperor would have had to deal with her severely once he got angry.

"Don't worry, sir. An Bihuai is a coward. He fainted from fright after just a few words and without any torture."
"As you instructed, I had him identify all the instruments of torture. I also had someone disguise him as a prisoner about to be cut in half at the waist, which frightened him so much that he fainted on the spot."
"He fainted several times, and water was repeatedly poured on him. He was soaked to the bone and still fainted. He was so scared by just one glance at the branding iron that he peed himself on the ground. I have interrogated many criminals, but there are very few like him."
"After all this, I assure you, from now on he will be trembling with fear whenever he comes within three miles of the prison."
Shen Zishan said with satisfaction, "I trust you to handle things."
"Have someone keep an eye on him, just scare him a little, but don't let anything actually happen. It's fine if he gets injured or sick, but no one can die."
Zhou Mo replied, "Yes, Your subordinate obeys."
