The next day, Du Ming woke up a little later than usual, but he didn't suspect anything, he just thought that he had tossed too much on the concubine's body last night, so he would sleep until now.

After getting dressed, he reflexively touched the keys to the gate of the prison, and was relieved to find that it was still there.

After having dinner in the house, he came to the Tingwei Yamen as usual, ready to start the day's work.

Jiang Bo, the Great Chu Tingwei, is already in his prime, and he has some health problems, and he has recently planned to write to the emperor. Now I basically recuperate at home, and if I don't have a big case, I won't come to the yamen again.

There is a grapevine in the Tingwei Yamen that after Jiang Lao Zhishi, the next person to replace him is Tingwei Cheng Du Ming, so now there are many officials who are good at drilling camps and have begun to move closer to him.

Du Ming naturally denied it on the surface, but in fact, he did hear similar words from Jiang Lao's mouth.

In addition to the surprise, Du Ming also secretly decided in his heart that he must do things seriously and let the emperor see his talents, so that he can deserve his name.

Soon after he sat down, he got up and walked to the basement behind the Tingwei Yamen, took one of the keys he carried with him, opened the locked iron door in front of him, and stepped into the deep underground.

This place may seem inconspicuous, but it is the location of the heavenly prison that terrified countless corrupt officials in the imperial court and the tycoons in the martial arts.

This basement has a total of three floors, and the further down it goes, the more valuable the prisoners are and the stronger the guards.

Because countless prisoners have died here in the prison for hundreds of years, the yin qi inside is extremely heavy, and Du Ming rarely comes over.

But now, because there is a prisoner with a very special status in the third floor, he will come and take a look every day for safety.

The personnel in charge of guarding the prisoners on the third floor of the prison are all from secret guards, and only these people who are also excellent in martial arts can suppress those murderers and prevent these people from finding a chance to escape from the prison.

Walking all the way to the penultimate cell near the end of the third floor, Du Ming stopped and looked into the cell with his eyes.

On the hay-covered floor of the cell sat a woman with unkempt hair, whose tattered clothes could not hide her beauty in the slightest, and whose haggard countenance made her look even more pitiful and pitiful.

Only on each side of her body was a slender chain made of black gold silk, only part of the chain was exposed, and part of it passed through the flesh of the prisoner's shoulder blade.

A closer look can also reveal that there are many smaller claw clasps on these two chains, each of which pierces into the key points, locking the qi veins of the prisoner's body.

Under such confinement, even a grandmaster-level master who opened the bridge between heaven and earth would become a mortal without the power to restrain the chicken.

Du Ming looked at it for a while and found that she kept that one movement, without any change. If it weren't for the fact that his chest had been rising and falling slightly, he even suspected that the prisoner had been tortured and had died.

He turned to one of the guards standing next to him and asked, "How long has it been since she eaten?"

The guard replied, "The prisoner hasn't eaten a grain of rice for three days, but it's strange that her breath shows no signs of weakening at all. ”

For a martial artist who has achieved internal success, not eating for a few days is nothing. But now that this person has been locked in the qi veins, the true qi in his body can't be used at all, and he can still hold on to a hunger strike for three days under such conditions, which is very exaggerated.

Du Ming's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle, and he was a little worried about such an abnormal situation.

As Ting Weicheng, he knew the information of every prisoner held in the prison, so he also knew how dangerous the poor woman in front of him actually was.

When she was first caught here, there were some guys who were fascinated by beauty who wanted to do something, but no one went crazy after being watched by her eyes for a few breaths!

From then on, Du Ming knew that although this person could not use her true qi, it did not mean that she had become a harmless little white rabbit who could be at the mercy of others.

He asked the Dark Guard again, "Can you guarantee that she won't be able to use her True Qi now?"

The dark guard immediately nodded, and said very confidently: "The full name of the chain we use on the prisoner is 'Binding God Rope', which was specially created by the master of the Mo family in the imperial court as a prisoner for a martial arts master like her.

It wasn't that there were no people with stronger martial arts than her who had been locked up before, but so far, no one has been able to break free. ”

Du Ming let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his expression was much more relaxed.

After continuing to inspect the other cells on this level, he prepared to leave. But at this time, a person ran over to him and said, "Du Tingwei, the fourth prince has arrived." ”

Du Ming immediately straightened his clothes and greeted him.

The fourth prince Xiang Hua came over alone, and when he saw Du Ming, he just nodded, without saying a word, looking very cold.

Du Ming didn't care, those who were familiar with His Highness knew that Xiang Hua had always been like this to people.

It's not arrogance. It's because he is obsessed with martial arts, as long as he doesn't fight with people, he will always divide a part of his mind to manipulate the true qi in his body to run Zhou Tian, so if he can't speak, he won't speak.

Xiang Hua's trip, like Du Ming, was also aimed at the female prisoner on the third layer.

After descending to the third floor of the Heavenly Prison, every secret guard who saw him immediately saluted and said, "I have seen the Great Commander." ”

He didn't stop, he went straight to the penultimate cell, stopped when he saw the female prisoner, then turned to everyone and said, "I'm going to interrogate the prisoner here, you all go out first." ”

This was not the first time this kind of interrogation, so everyone else had honestly left the third layer of the prison one by one, and Du Ming was no different.

After these people had gone to the upper floor of the prison, Xiang Hua stepped forward, took out the key to open the prison door, and walked in.

He said to the woman inside, "Dai Yue'er, how did you think about the suggestion I made earlier?"

"My patience is limited, if you can obediently repeat the mantra of the Great Black Heaven Moro Secret Book now, I can intercede with my father and spare your life. After a long time, I won't be able to save you. ”

The female prisoner of the Heavenly Prison, that is, Dai Yue'er, raised her head when she heard this, and a cold smile appeared on her face:

"Do you think I will believe such a flawed lie? With your identity, you are not qualified to let Emperor Chu let me go. What's more, even if you tell the truth, it is impossible for me to betray my master and betray the Black Heaven Sect, so you should die of this heart as soon as possible. ”

Xiang Hua was not surprised by this answer, for a person like Dai Yue'er, the strength of his heart must be far beyond ordinary people, and it is impossible to be easily shaken by words, he just tried it with the idea of being dispensable.

But this does not mean that he will give up this idea, for a martial idiot like him, a classic like the "Great Black Heaven Moro Secret Codex" that can go straight to the great grandmaster is definitely an irresistible temptation.

He then spoke again: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, you must still have the idea of waiting for the people of the Black Heaven Sect to come and save you." I'm not afraid to tell you that I've laid a net outside of the prison. It doesn't matter if they don't come, if they do, there is only a dead end. ”

"When all these people are dead, I wonder if your mouth will be as hard as it is now!"

Dai Yue'er's pupils shrank, and her calm heart finally rippled.

She herself knew very well that it was impossible for those priests in the sect to sit idly by and watch her be imprisoned in the Great Chu Heavenly Prison, and perhaps the people who rescued her now had already come to the imperial capital.

During the time she was imprisoned in the prison, she also had a thorough understanding of the sheer power of the Dark Guard.

If the situation is really as Xiang Hua said, they have already laid an ambush, then the fate of those who rushed to rescue her will be very bad.
