Indeed, there is a saying from the ancients that makes a lot of sense.
Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?
Wealth and status are not something one is born with.
Magistrate Hu's mind raced, considering many things, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
A fawning smile appeared on his face: "What are your orders, young master?"
“Take me to see Cai Yi,” Fu Tu said coldly.
At this moment, he resembled Lu Wujiu even more.
The same icy expression, the same unsmiling demeanor.
Magistrate Hu bowed and nodded vigorously, then led Fu Tu and several guards in black robes toward the examination hall.
Inside, it's still a scene of drug rehabilitation, but this time a six-year-old child is on the scene. Seeing this, he probably won't be able to sleep at night.
But the pagoda...
Magistrate Hu stared at the pagoda.
The child stared intently at the people inside.
No matter how badly the locked-up person tortured themselves, whether they were trying to grab their eyeballs or banging their head against the wall, the thuds and the flowing blood never stopped.
This scene is like walking into a group of lunatics.
Even an adult like him would be scared to see that!
If you can avoid coming here, then don't. But when Magistrate Hu stared at the pagoda, the child didn't even blink. He would even stop and look at it with interest in his eyes.
It seems they're enjoying watching the people inside court death.
Su Jiaoniang, that woman, wasn't afraid at all when she saw this scene.
However, she seemed to have some pity.
The child has nothing, is he just watching the spectacle?
Magistrate Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead with a small handkerchief. He was truly impressed, but at the same time, he knew that the man was just an ordinary person.
No wonder the regent took a fancy to this peasant girl.
No wonder the Black-Clad Guards entrusted this child with such a thing.
No, that's not it. These are traits that come from being raised in the same family.
They showed no fear whatsoever at these horrific images.
The flesh on his buttocks twitched, and he led the pagoda inside.
As usual, Cai Yi was in the innermost cell.
The clothes were changed to clean ones, a blanket was laid on the floor, and there was still hot tea in the teapot.
Living in prison, yet still enjoying this kind of treatment.
Cai Yi is the first person in this county to do this!
Fu Tu glanced back at Magistrate Hu.
He said, "Open it!"
Magistrate Hu immediately turned to look at the jailer.
The jailer opened the door.
Fu Tu went inside, and two guards in black robes followed.
Protecting the pagoda at close range, whether it's the county magistrate or the jailer, seems to give them a public image, according to the Black-Clad Guards.
but……
Anyone who does anything detrimental to the pagoda will immediately become dead.
Fu Tu stared at Cai Yi lying on the bed for a long time, then suddenly asked, "How do we make contact with someone who has opium poppies?"
"Who are you?" Cai Yi had never seen Fu Tu before.
Even if I'd seen them before, I'd never paid them any mind. Now, seeing them again, I only noticed their eyes; I didn't feel anything else.
“Lu Futu, Su Jiaoniang’s son,” Futu said calmly.
His identity is not something that cannot be mentioned, nor is it something that needs to be hidden from this or that.
"It's you. How is your mother?" Cai Yi asked with a smile.
He finished speaking and let out a long sigh of relief, sat up straight, and looked at the Buddha statue with his chin propped up: "Are you afraid?"
“I think you should be the one who is afraid.” As the former head of the Directorate of Ceremonial, Fu Tu knew better than anyone how to punish a person.
There are many ways to make someone wish they were dead.
Just pull one out at random, and it'll scare this smug guy to death.
"What do I have to be afraid of? The provincial government's judgment recommendation hasn't arrived yet. Even if it does, ignorance is no excuse. Besides, not everyone who ate my hotpot went crazy. There are plenty of healthy people. Anyone saying it's poisonous is just stirring up trouble."
Cai Yi laughed as he spoke.
He seemed completely unconcerned about his situation.
Fu Tu looked at Magistrate Hu and said, "Please turn around and don't look back."
Magistrate Hu looked at Cai Yi, feeling a bad premonition, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
He turned his head.
Fu Tu looked at Cai Yi, a smile appearing on his lips.
Cai Yi smiled as well.
The two looked at each other and laughed, like two complete fools.
Fu Tu looked at the black-clad guard: "Take off his clothes and go find a nest of ants."
A guard in black robes stepped forward, and with a flick of his curved blade, Cai Yi's clothes fell to the ground, leaving him completely naked.
Fu Tu stared at Cai Yi with a very indifferent expression.
If a child were to see a man's body, they would surely have countless questions.
Why do they look so different? Here, there, there, and here!
Another guard in black robes went out. It was difficult to find ants in winter, but they could still be found in sunny places. He filled a sachet with a nest of ants and saw a mouse nest. On a whim, the guard dug up the mouse nest and found several newborn mice inside.
It's tiny, hairless, and a purplish-pink color.
It's terribly ugly.
The Black-Clad Guards were also brought along.
After all, cockroaches, rats, and ants are all related.
Sending them inside together shouldn't cause any major problems.
The moment Futu saw the little mouse, a smile appeared in his eyes. He pointed at Cai Yi and said, "See where there's a lot of meat, cut it open, throw the ants and the mouse on the meat, and then seal the wound."
The Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs has many shady and shady methods of tormenting people.
In their past lives, some people would rather die than enter the Directorate of Ceremonial, for its prison was a place that struck fear into the hearts of many.
In this lifetime, Rong Zhen is not yet perverted enough; he has not yet used those heinous methods of punishment.
