I want to ruin the country

People have to poop and pee after eating, but they can't go outside and have to do it in the toilet next to the wall.

The toilet doesn't even have a lid. When the toilet is emptied depends entirely on the jailer's mood. If he is happy, he will empty it once every two or three days. If he is unhappy, he will not empty it for five or six days.

Do you think the smell in this cell would be good if you were guarding something like this?

All in all, there are thousands of smells in this room, and they are as bad as they can be.

When he first came in, Qi Ying couldn't even open his mouth to breathe, let alone eat or drink. He could only breathe through his nose with his mouth closed.

At the first meal, the jailer brought him two steamed buns and a plate of pickled vegetables. Qi Ying covered his nose and waved his hands.

"Take it away, take it away, I don't want to eat it!"

The jailer said nothing, just smiled contemptuously and took the food away.

He said to himself, I have seen many masters like you. If you don’t eat this meal, you won’t eat the next one. One day you will beg me for help.

I didn’t eat lunch, so I’m not hungry.

It’s okay if you don’t eat at night.

I couldn't sleep the whole night. Lice were crawling around me, fleas were biting me, the stench was overwhelming, I tossed and turned all night, and my stomach started to growl.

He began to miss the delicious food at home, and the more he thought about it, the more tormented he became. In the morning, when he looked at the black steamed bread, he still found it hard to swallow.

When the jailer saw that he still didn't want to eat it, he took it away. There were other prisoners waiting there like hungry wolves. Whoever he gave the food to would lie on the ground and kowtow to him.

No one came to question him all morning, and he no longer felt how bad the smell in the cell was. He couldn't just keep silent forever.

Qi Ying was extremely hungry the whole morning, but he endured it. At noon, the jailer came again and gave him two steamed buns and a portion of pickled cabbage.

At this time, Qi Ying saw that the steamed bread was not so disgusting anymore. He stretched out his hand to take it. The jailer looked at him inquiringly, as if asking him,

"Want to eat?"

Qi Ying nodded.

"Let me try it!"

The jailer grinned.

"Master Qi, don't try it. You are used to fine clothes and delicious food. This food for the poor is not suitable for you!"

Having said that, without waiting for Qi Ying to speak, he took the steamed bread away.

Qi Ying wanted to ask him for help, but he couldn't let go of his pride. How could he, a high-ranking official and a noble, ask for help from a small jailer whom he usually didn't even look at?

After another afternoon, Qi Ying was really hungry. The hungrier he was, the more he wanted to eat. The more he thought about chicken, duck, fish and meat, the hungrier he became. The wheat straw on the ground looked like fried noodles with soybean paste.

He wanted to shout loudly and ask the jailer when dinner would be served!

It was getting dark and the meal was delivered again. Qi Ying lost all his airs and looked at the jailer with a flattering face.

The jailer knew that he was very hungry, so he teased him by waving the basket in front of him and trying to take it away.

Qi Ying was anxious.

"Brother jailer, I'll eat it, I'll eat it!"

The jailer looked at him with even more contempt, meaning, are you convinced?

He was a wanted prisoner, and the jailer didn't dare to starve him to death. He said nothing and handed the basket in.

Qi Ying began to eat voraciously, and soon, two steamed buns were gone.

I didn’t expect that this black steamed bread would be so delicious and not sour at all. And the pickled radish pieces are even more delicious than the braised beef in soy sauce. It’s a pity that there were not enough steamed bread and I didn’t feel full.

He adapted!

What puzzled Qi Ying was that he had not been brought to trial for several days. Why?

Normally, treason is a serious case, a top priority, so why is no one paying attention to it?

After a long time, he wanted to ask, but unfortunately, he could not see anyone except the jailer who brought him food.

And the jailer is like a gourd with its mouth sawed off. He doesn't say a word except when necessary!

The loneliness of having no one to communicate with was very uncomfortable. Sometimes he even looked forward to being brought to trial as soon as possible so that he could go out and get some fresh air. He was almost suffocating!

Not knowing anything about the outside world is the most frustrating thing!

After finally being brought to the interrogation, he saw the sunlight again. The sunlight was so dazzling, but he felt comfortable, a thousand times more comfortable than in that gloomy cell.

When he arrived at the court, he felt a little discouraged. Why was he being tried by a fourth-rank official? Damn it, wasn't his case serious enough? At least a second-rank official should be qualified to try him.

No matter who is trying me, I just won't admit it. Let's see what you can do to me. As long as you can't convict me, you will send me back sooner or later. Even if I am not an official anymore, I have enough wealth in my family to last me several lifetimes. What am I afraid of?

He managed to get through the first two times by talking nonsense, but on the third time, that fourth-rank Wang Jindou actually hit himself with the stick!

Thirty boards were beaten down. When had he ever suffered such a punishment? Qi Ying grinned. It turned out that watching others get beaten was quite easy. It was over in a few moments!

Only when it happened to him did he realize, oh my god, it hurts so much!

In this way, Qi Ying entered a cycle of suffering.

When his injuries got a little better, he was brought in for interrogation again. After a long pause, he said nothing. In the end, he was given thirty strokes of the cane, not one more, not one less. He was beaten until his skin was torn and flesh was exposed, and then sent back!

He then suffered a second punishment!

In this way, the wound healed and healed again. Qi Ying was gradually about to collapse. When would this day of suffering end?

Sometimes he thought that he might as well confess and avoid suffering.

In the end, he held back. Wang Jindou had no other choice but to beat him with a stick. He was an imperial prisoner and the other party didn't dare to beat him to death. As long as he could endure it, good days would come.

Relying on this belief, Qi Ying and Wang Jin continued to fight.

Although Qi Ying was conducting a slow interrogation, Yining was ruthless when it came to implicating other officials!

As long as Wang Jindou reported that an official was implicated, he would first dismiss him from his post and then have his property confiscated.

These days, Yining finally got a well-deserved title, "Emperor of Confiscating Property" as expected!

This title was not earned in vain. A total of more than 24 million taels of gold and silver were seized from the homes of the four young masters of the capital, and the land deeds were sold at a discount of more than 10 million taels of silver to shops.

Wang Jindou came to see the emperor with a stack of confessions.

"Your Majesty, these are the confessions of officials from Shuntian Prefecture!"

Yining Road,

"Just say it!"

Wang Jindou Road

"There are a total of 20 to 30 people implicated in the case in Shuntian Prefecture, the first of whom is the prefect, Eltai.

"It is certain that he has been embezzling and corrupting the law during his time in Shuntian Prefecture. What do you think, Your Majesty, do?"

Yining nodded.

"I've known for a long time that he has problems. What else can I do? Catch him!"

"I will catch him?"

Yining understood what he meant. Yi of Shuntian Prefecture was a third-rank official, and Wang Jindou was a fourth-rank official, so he had to ask the emperor for instructions.

"I ordered you to arrest him, so you did. Not to mention a mere third-rank official, isn't even Qi Ying, a first-rank official, imprisoned in your cell?"

"I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
