As the gate slowly opened, two teams of heavily armed prison guards poured out of the gate, they lined up on either side, and at the same time knelt down on one knee and saluted and shouted, "Your Highness the Prince!"

"Your Highness, please come inside!" Lord Zong bowed slightly, which was considered to have given Murong Yu enough face.

Murong Yu and Murong Meteor glanced at each other, and stepped into the gate first, a large avenue about ten meters wide inside the gate went straight to the top of the mountain, and there was a guard standing on both sides of the avenue every few steps, Murong Yu made a visual inspection, and it was estimated that it was about a kilometer.

Straight up the avenue, the summer scenery of lush greenery and grass on both sides is not very charming, but it can be regarded as an alternative to appearing here.

The forest is full of people and ghosts, hidden by the towering woods, and these places are definitely full of traps, and the guards of the prison of the Criminal Department are walking in orderly steps, patrolling through the forest.

The black and heavy iron gate of the black fortress creaked open, and a spacious underground staircase appeared in front of Murong Yu's eyes. The magic lamps on the walls illuminated the entire underground passage as bright as day, and a faint smell of blood came to the face.

Murong Yu walked down the stairs and descended slowly, until he reached the next door, this small door was not big, but it was thicker than the big iron gate outside. After passing through the gate, the scene inside suddenly changed.

A hall with a length and width of about five or six hundred meters appeared in front of you, and on the high circular dome, a circular magic lamp with a diameter of more than ten meters was hung, and countless small magic lamps were embedded in the surrounding walls, making the hall spacious and bright.

Murong Yu glanced at the guards around him, and his gaze fell on the huge stone table in the middle, on which some scattered documents were placed. I saw Master Zong come down in person. Several people immediately dropped the documents in their hands and stepped forward in unison to salute.

"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Master Zong introduced.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Several people saluted in unison.

Murong Yu's gaze swept around. Nodding slightly: "You don't have to be polite. ”

Zong Zheng pointed to one of the guys with a thin figure and a deep eyebrow bone and introduced Murong Yu, "Your Highness." This is our prison warden, Dess. ”

Murong Yu took a deep look at Dis, and when he saw that Dis was about to salute again, he waved his hand slightly and asked, "I'm here to review the case of Concubine Li and others' rebellion, and Master Di doesn't need to be polite." ”

Di Si took a notebook from the hand of an official beside him, respectfully handed it to Murong Yu and said, "Your Highness, the case of Concubine Li's rebellion, all 14,300 people, all recorded in the book. Your Highness, please take a look. ”

Murong Yu blinked his eyes twice, and his heart jumped by this number, but he didn't take the notebook, but just stared at the notebook in Dis's hand with a deep frown. Master Zong next to him immediately took the notebook and asked, "Why are you such a person?"

Lord Dis bowed slightly: "My lord, only felons are detained, so the number is a bit small." ”

Murong Yu was directly thundered by the conversation between the two, more than 14,000 people. If all of them are beheaded, the entire imperial capital will inevitably be bloody again. Unconsciously, Ouyang Xueqin's miserable and desolate face appeared in front of Murong Yu's eyes.

Master Zong didn't notice Murong Yu's face, and he asked again, "How many families are involved?"

"Returning to your lordship. There are more than 400 families in total. Mistress Dith replied.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, look" Lord Zong turned his head to look at Murong Yu.

Murong Yu waved his hand: "I'll go and see, where are the prisoners detained?"

Lord Dis immediately stepped forward to lead the way: "Your Highness comes with me. ”

A few people were under the guidance of Master Dis. Walk through the hall and walk towards the opposite side. And a dry well in the center of the hall aroused Murong Yu's curiosity.

Seeing Murong Yu's gaze, Master Zong, who followed closely behind Murong Yu, introduced: "This is where the felons are held. It's called a cage, and only the powerful and evil people will be locked up here, and the felons in it must wear forbidden magic torture equipment. ”

Murong Yu approached the dry well, stretched out his head and looked at it, and his heart was shocked. The diameter of this dry well is about five meters, and there is a spiral staircase leading to the bottom, as far as Murong Yu can see, this deep well is estimated to be about 100 meters. A foul, pungent smell of mildew came to my nose and was disgusting.

"Your Highness, there are five floors under the cage, and each floor can hold hundreds of felons. Master Zong immediately explained.

Murong Yu covered his nose and asked, "Then how many people are being held here now?"

"It is estimated that there are more than three hundred people, but their lowest strength is at the king level or above. Master Di also helped explain.

Murong Yu suddenly thought of the Blood Prison of Despair, and asked casually, "Is there a saint-level powerhouse?"

"Yes, however, there are not many saint-level powerhouses imprisoned here, at most a dozen. Master Di replied, "Of course, there are also some guys sent by other empires. ”

Murong Yu retracted his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's go." ”

Master Di hurriedly led the way to the opposite side, which was a road about three meters wide, and there were small houses on both sides of the road. There was only a small door and an iron window left in these rooms, and Murong Yu only saw a pair of dull eyes peeking out of the small window.

Murong Yu slowly followed Master Di, his eyes swept back and forth, as if he found that Murong Yu was not an ordinary person, and a prisoner shouted: "Your Excellency has wronged!

As one person shouted, the cries of wrongdoing and saving his life also sounded in the cells around him. Master Zong and Master Di seemed to have become accustomed to it, and turned a deaf ear to the cries of these prisoners, and Lord Di also laughed in a low voice: "Everyone who has been imprisoned here says that he has been wronged. ”

"Your Highness, there is an interrogation room in front of you, how about starting somewhere?" asked Master Zong casually.

Murong Yu responded: "It's okay, so as not to make trouble." ”

Sure enough, after not walking a few steps, there was a large interrogation room around the corner in front of me.

Murong Yu sat on the only chair in the interrogation room, he glanced at a few pairs of torture instruments around him, and lightly swept the reddish-brown ground, it was completely conceivable how these guys from the Criminal Department tortured to extract confessions.

The eerie underground prison is like a bloody prison of despair, making people feel hopeless and helpless. Looking at a torture instrument that seemed to be able to gouge out people's eyes, Murong Yu closed his eyes, but Murong Yu, who closed his eyes, echoed in his ears the screams and moans of the prisoner before he died.

Murong Yu recalled the bloodstained wooden shelf over and over again in his mind, and it was conceivable how many unjust souls had died on that shelf. The cold resentment emanated from the wood on the shelf, three points to the bone, nine points into the flesh.

Murong Yu froze and said, "You go and bring Li Defang, Shu Zhide, Lu Feikai, Kuang Yingzhe, Gongsun Shu, Gao Kaigang, and Ji Su to me." ”

One by one, the names burst out, which stunned Master Zong and Master Di. They glanced at each other, as if they were surprised that Murong Yu knew these names so well. Even Lord Di had just seen the names of these people, but how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know so clearly.

However, Master Di still bowed slightly and replied, "Yes, Weichen will go." ”

In a moment, one prisoner after another was escorted in, and one was dejected, and he had completely lost his noble demeanor.

Looking at the group of kneeling people below, Murong Yu said sharply, "Raise your head." ”

All the prisoners raised their heads, they looked at Murong Yu blankly, and one of them exclaimed, "His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"It's good, there are still people who know me. Murong Yu replied coldly.

Several people immediately fell to their knees with a thud and shouted: "Your Highness spare your life! Your Highness help! Kowtow loudly.

Looking at these loyal followers of Murong Yuhao, Murong Yu said loudly: "You don't have to kowtow, I have investigated clearly, you are all Murong Yuhao's comrades, and you support Murong Yuhao's rebellion, so you will definitely die." ”

Hearing Murong Yu's words, several people really quieted down, and they looked at Murong Yu blankly like a walking corpse. And Murong Meteor, Master Zong, and Master Di looked at Murong Yu in surprise, not understanding at all that Murong Yu knew so clearly.

Because of Murong Yu's words, these people did not refute them out loud, in other words, everything Murong Yu said was true. At the same time, they also understood that in the battle for the throne, Murong Yuhao would be defeated. Obviously, Murong Yu knew the movements of this group of guys well, and Murong Yuhao was not wronged.

After a pause, Murong Yu said in a deep voice: "Although you will die, I can open the net and let your family go." ”

The guy who was originally pale and about to die suddenly seemed to have a spring breeze on his face, and he regained a lot of vitality, and one of them asked: "As long as you can spare my family, Your Highness has an order, and your majesty will definitely do it." ”

The other also raised his head and said, "My family is innocent, as long as I can keep them safe, what is there to fear in death?" ”

Murong Yu's eyes swept over, and he said coldly: "Write down your crimes, explain your future, I will give you a good time, of course, I will ensure the safety of your family and give you half an hour." ”

Half an hour later, this group of people had already explained what had happened after their deaths, and Murong Yu gave an order to immediately execute the death sentence.

Looking at the heads on the plate, Murong Yu's eyes closed and waved his big hand: "Master Zong, immediately send someone to send these indictments and heads into the palace." ”

"Yes. The guards behind Master Zong immediately stepped forward, wrapped up these heads, and sent them to the palace.

Murong Yu looked at the ground quietly in a daze, and those bloody human heads flashed in his mind, these heads were the iron bones on the emperor's road, and only by stepping on this group of corpses could he finally sit on the emperor's throne.

Murong Yu pondered for a moment, then sighed faintly: "Hey, Master Zong, let everyone else go." ”

Murong Meteor and Master Zong both looked at Murong Yu in a daze, and glanced at each other, completely unable to understand what Murong Yu wanted to do. (To be continued......)
