Chapter 359 The Great Good Man

Dark prison.

"Come out, the master wants to lecture you."

"Ok?"

An old man whose hair had already touched the ground slowly opened his eyes.

This was the first time he had been imprisoned here that he could not remember.

But it doesn't matter. Time is the most useless thing for people like him. Apart from the jailer who delivers meals every day, he hasn't seen anyone for a long time.

The jailer was a little impatient: "I told you to get up, did you hear me?"

The old man let out a strange laugh.

Maybe some censor from the Censorate wants to show off his power, so I will play with him.

Such situations had occurred several times during the long years the old man had been imprisoned, but they were one of his few pleasures.

The old man slowly stood up.

The old man followed the jailer and quickly came to a room in the dark prison. After entering the room, the old man felt a little regretful. He had originally thought that he could see the sunlight, but in the end, his wish was not fulfilled.

The room was dark, with only two torches burning and crackling.

At the farthest end of the room, there was a large chair with a young official sitting on it.

The reason why we were sure he was an official was that he had worn similar official robes before.

Bai Yuan looked at the old man brought to him by the jailer, while Zhou Minghan beside him whispered.

"Huang Shan, former Minister of Works, was caught forming a clique for personal gain and was imprisoned in a dark cell forever."

Bai Yuan nodded.

The black jail is not like the prisons in the previous life. There is time for fresh air and exercise every day. People are often locked up in a cell for life, and all eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are done in the cell.

Therefore, we often hear about people committing suicide because they cannot bear the humiliation. They are scapegoats, so even if they die, almost no one will care.

This old man has been in the dark prison for eighty years. If it were anyone else, his muscles would have been so weak that he would not be able to stand up. Huang Shan did not exercise, so it proved that he was very strong.

Bai Yuan: "Sir Huang, I have a favor to ask of you."

Huang Shan let out an unpleasant laugh, but it was not his fault. He hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, so being able to laugh like that was already quite good.

"explain."

He was curious about what the young official was going to do.

Bai Yuan felt even more satisfied when he heard Huang Shan's answer.

There are many officials like Huang Shan in black jails, or most of those sentenced to life imprisonment are officials like Huang Shan.

They are of the third rank, and are already doctors who are not subject to punishment as doctors.

Therefore, unless one has committed an unforgivable crime such as treason, he or she will generally not end up being beheaded.

After all, most of these people are scapegoats thrown out by the parties behind them.

Now that he has become a scapegoat, the big guys behind him will naturally help him survive.

The daily provision of food in the black prison is not charity, but people outside have to pay for it. The fact that Huang Shan was able to live for eighty years in one go must have been done by someone outside.

Mealworm
Bai Yuan smiled even more: "I want to borrow Mr. Huang's cell."

Huang Shan also laughed: "That's great, I'm tired of living here."

Bai Yuan nodded: "Master Zhou, please register Master Huang."

Huang Shan was puzzled: "Registration?"

"Yes, a voluntary release agreement."

"Voluntary, release from prison, agreement?"

Huang Shan thought he had some knowledge. He knew every word Bai Yuan uttered, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together.

Bai Yuan waved his hand and said, "Master Huang is trapped in a cage and cannot sign. Please help Master Huang."

Huang Shan realized that something was wrong.

The two jailers beside Bai Yuan walked forward aggressively. One of them held up a piece of paper with densely written small words, and the other one pried open his thumb and pressed it forcefully on the paper.

If it was the old Huang Shan, he would have slapped the two jailers to death with one palm, but now he takes the power-dissolving powder every day, and his strength is not much greater than that of an ordinary person. Huang Shan was furious.

He vaguely realized that this was not a voluntary release agreement at all, but a letter of confession.

I have already become like this, do you still want to kill me?
Bai Yuan smiled faintly: "Master Huang, please don't blame me, it's just that the black prison is too crowded recently, and the country needs you to sacrifice a little."

Bai Yuan walked up to Huang Shan and gently pressed his chest with his hand.

Huang Shan's pupils suddenly dilated, and then became lifeless.

"Remember, the former Minister of Works Huang Shan came to his senses, realized the gravity of his sins, and hit his head against the wall and died."

"Remember to make the wound look more realistic."

Bai Yuan waved his hand: "Drag him away, next one."

The two jailers silently carried Huang Shan's body out of the room and looked for the next prisoner according to Zhou Minghan's list.

so cycle.

Bai Yuan looked at the panel.

After all, it is still not as good as the enhancement points in its heyday.

Huang Shan was able to become a third-rank official in the imperial court, so he was at least one of the top fighters among the intellectuals.

But the enhancement points obtained by killing Huang Shan are only similar to those of an ordinary sense. After all, he has stayed in the dark cell for too long, and his energy and blood have long been declining.

But it doesn’t matter, there are many people like Huang Shan in jail.

There were constant factional struggles in Xuanyang, and almost every year a third-rank official became a scapegoat.

Bai Yuan felt no pressure at all when killing.

The reason why he dared to do so was that, on the one hand, the officials imprisoned in the black jail had long been forgotten by the outside world, and as long as he didn't kill too many of them, no one would find out.

Now he is the de facto chief of the Censorate. As long as he doesn't say anything, no one will know what's going on in the prison.

For this purpose, he also asked Zhou Minghan to draw up a list.

All the officials on this list are those whose backers have fallen.

These people have no pressure at all to kill.

There were two second-rank officials imprisoned in the black prison, but unfortunately the influence of such big figures was too great, so he could not do anything about them for the time being.

The reason why Bai Yuan dared to do this was naturally because he had the tacit approval of the emperor.

But if he crossed the line and displeased the emperor, even his status on the Hidden Dragon List would not save him.

Bai Yuan's thoughts were interrupted.

The two jailers went away and came back.

Zhou Minghan mechanically raised the account book like a puppet: "Former Junior Official of the Dali Temple, Zhou Tai."

"very good."

A smile appeared on Bai Yuan's lips.

Huh?
Why do I look like a villain?
Could it be that I have found a way to die?

Bai Yuan stayed in the dark cell for seven whole days.

When he left, the prisoners finally had their own cells.

Bai Yuan was very satisfied with the position of Left Vice-Minister of the Imperial Censorate.

It turned out to be an extremely wise decision to choose the Censorate. Where else could one find so many high-quality and irresistible top-level experience packs?

What he gained in just these seven days was enough to match the hard work of the previous six months or even a year.

The key is that there is no risk yet.

He looked at the panel.

The dragon-tiger power has quietly reached the master level.

The ease with which he was able to elevate a top-notch martial arts technique to the master level was in stark contrast to the difficulty the white ape had experienced before in breaking through the mountain.
