In this era, high-ranking officials and nobles, as long as they have some ability, will work hard to give birth to a son.

Even a fool knows that an heir or nephew is unreliable.

Lao Jiu put down the tea cup in his hand, and said with an unprecedented gesture: "Brother Ziwen, I'll take care of everything."

Wang Yi had already boarded the pirate ship and could no longer get off, so he had to submit obediently.

There is no way, Wang Yi's background is too low.

Whichever is the lesser of two evils.

Offending Yuzhu will only cause future troubles.

This made the reckless old man unhappy, and he was about to be in trouble.

These days, it can be said to be very easy for the banner leader of the Lao Shi family to do anything about his job.

Besides, Lao Jiu had a lot of money and gave Wang Yi 30,000 taels in one lump sum.

After all these factors came together, Wang Yi finally agreed and took action from Lin Yaner's uncle.

Lin Yan'er's uncle Zhang Sheng was a moderate businessman in Wanping County, so he was just the right person to start with.

Lao Jiu didn't dare to attack Xiuyun and Cao Chun's natal family. Zhang Sheng was a businessman with no status, so this was different.

In order to deceive others, Wang Yi did not dare to stay at Lao Jiu's Beizi's house any longer. He drank half a cup of tea, stood up and left.

Out of a desire to win over, Lao Jiu personally saw Wang Yi off.

At the gate, Lao Jiu said in a fake voice: "Brother Ziwen, please forgive me for sending you off so far."

Wang Yi quickly cupped his hands and said, "Master Jiu, you are so kind. I am very grateful to you."

Seeing Wang Yi about to board the sedan, Lao Jiu suddenly remembered something. He couldn't sleep too long at night.

Lao Jiu stopped Wang Yi and said, "Forget it, I'll accompany you back to the government office."

Wang Yi understood as soon as he heard this. Lao Jiu was going to go into the prison of Shuntian Mansion, torture Zhang Sheng, and ask for a confession.

Now that you have joined the team, you cannot change it.

You know, the head and the rat are taboo in official circles.

So, Wang Yi sat in the official sedan, and Lao Jiu sat in the informal sedan carried by the two of them, and wandered to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen.

Shuntian Prefecture is the capital of the world. Wang Yi, the prefect, is not of the fourth rank, but of the third rank, with a silver seal.

More importantly, just as the infantry commander has the privilege of meeting the emperor at any time, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture can also directly meet Kangxi when something happens.

Lao Jiu didn't want to expose his whereabouts, so the sedan he was sitting in was carried directly into Shuntian Mansion through the back door.

The prison of Shuntian Mansion is a dungeon, located on the right side of the government office lobby, next to the barracks, execution room, and workshop.

Zhang Sheng's identity was different. Wang Yi was worried that something might go wrong, so he leaked the news to Yu Zhu. After catching Zhang Sheng, he threw him into the dungeon.

Lao Jiu wants to go to the dungeon, and Wang Yi must accompany him.

The two people, each with the help of a servant, slowly descended to the bottom of the prison along the slippery and steep stone steps.

Whether it is Lao Jiu or Wang Yi, this is the first time they have entered the dungeon.

I saw unkempt, shackled prisoners chained on thick iron chains on both sides of the dungeon.

"Sir, this villain is wronged..."

"Sir, I really don't have a sister-in-law..."

"What an injustice, what an injustice. The villain just looks more like a thief..."

Lao Jiu and Wang Yi walked in tandem, and as they walked in, they could hear cries of injustice along the way.

In this cannibalistic society, the power of government servants is truly boundless.

It's no exaggeration to say that as long as they don't like you, they can arrest you even if your posture when drinking water or holding a bowl is different.

In the prison of Shuntian Mansion, as long as a prisoner is caught, the best situation is that he can still get out after all his property is gone.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The worst case scenario is that it is unreasonable, and it may be a rebellion against the three clans.

Or, he simply died in prison and was reported to have died of a sudden illness.

There is no way, how many common people will not die in the government prison?

Objectively speaking, Wang Yi gave Zhang Sheng face when he was imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion.

If Zhang Sheng was imprisoned casually in a dark prison unknown to the world, he would be dead.

Zhang Sheng was locked in a separate small dark room. He could not stand up straight in the small dark room and could only sit down.

The servant raised the torch and illuminated the small dark room, allowing Lao Jiu to see clearly the scene inside the small dark room.

Lao Jiu rolled his eyes, turned to look at Wang Yi, and said coldly: "Isn't there a water prison?"

Wang Yi still didn't want to offend Yu Zhu, so he hesitated.

Lao Jiu knew at a glance that Wang Yi was still thinking about a way out, so he encouraged him: "What are you afraid of? If something happens, I will take care of it."

When I first heard this, Lao Jiu felt very responsible.

In fact, this is Lao Jiu's warning to Wang Yi. Why, are you afraid of something happening? Do you want to step into two different boats?

Wang Yi sighed secretly, who told him to be afraid of Lao Shi's family status and fall into Lao Jiu's trap?

"Come here, take the thief to the water prison." Wang Yi obeyed obediently, but deliberately did not call Zhang Sheng's name, and slandered him as a thief.

Turning good people into thieves is a common tactic used by officials.

Soon, Zhang Sheng was picked up by the guards and transferred to the water prison.

The setting of the water prison is extremely clever. The row of thick iron chains on the wall, the wooden shackles on his neck, and the shackles on his hands, combined together, just restricted Zhang Sheng's range of movement, so that his legs would definitely be

Soak in water.

At this moment, a guard ran down the dungeon in a panic and said, "Oh no, Yuzhu broke in."
