#546: Blood

The Prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the Eighth-layer Blood Prison, in the lowest, deepest room, Le Yu was reading a book by a ray of light leaking from the ceiling.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the door, and then a small window opened on the wall. The people outside took away Le Yu’s clean chicken rice, and then brought in a bowl of fragrant lo mein, and a bowl of clear of fresh soup.

“Is it time to cook?” Le Yu closed the book, took a deep sniff in the past, and raised his eyebrows: “I didn’t expect to be able to eat the pork brisket fried rice noodles specially provided by the pig restaurant here. hard work.”

The guards outside didn’t react at all, neither intending to insult Le Yu, nor to please Le Yu, they closed the window and left. Le Yu was not surprised by this. He mixed the fried sauce and the Yimian thoroughly, and put the beef brisket mixed with the noodles into his mouth. , and then drink a sip of the fragrant pork ribs soup, which is sweet and greasy.

This is his second dinner.

He’s been locked up here for two days.

When the cell door was closed, Le Yu knew that she could never leave this place on her own.

As the oldest prison in Yanjing, the Eighth Blood Prison can even date back to the time of Emperor Gaozu. Because the Radiants crave the properties of light, simply locking prisoners in dark basements can render them irreversibly debilitated and even deeply claustrophobic.

I don’t know how many powerful warriors have been locked in the basement for several months, and when they come out, they become as tame as sheep, and can’t even turn off the lights to sleep at night.

Therefore, above-ground prisons basically only detain lesser offenders and death row prisoners – they are about to die, so I won’t bother to torture you – and those who are imprisoned in the eight-fold blood prison are basically aimed at punishing criminals. A thorough ‘physical and mental transformation’ can be described as a real ‘a death sentence can be spared a life sentence’.

However, in fact, there is a facility like the Eighth Blood Prison in Yanjing. In the other districts, the criminals with the most heinous crimes have basically extended their sentences to the death penalty, and the local finances have no resources to support the prisoners for more than ten years. Therefore, there are few criminals in the outer districts who have been sentenced for more than ten years, and naturally they do not need to be imprisoned. facilities.

In Yanjing, because of the complex interests, sometimes noble families fight against each other, and sometimes parties fight between the government and the opposition. As a result, there will be many ‘rare criminals’ who will not die but receive heavy prison sentences. ‘Epic Criminals’, ‘Legendary Criminals’.

But after all, it is the capital of an imperial city and the capital of the country, and it is a taboo for party struggles to kill as much as possible—after all, if you kill others in the thirty years of Hedong and Hexi in the thirty years of Hexi, you will kill others today, and others will definitely kill you in the future—so you will be put in blood prison It has become a pension club for all kinds of political prisoners and warriors. Sometimes when the outer district consuls encounter such ‘high-level criminals’, they will also be sent to the Eighth Blood Prison to deliver their achievements to the Ministry of Justice.

The novel “The Marquis in Blood” that Le Yu read just now is a story about the Eightfold Blood Prison. It tells the story of a young man who fell into the deepest part of the eighth-level blood prison (that is, the room of Leyu) because he was wronged. Then he met nine legendary criminals, learned all their skills, and after looking for an opportunity to escape from prison, he used his skills outside. The story of revenge and hatred opening the harem.

Honestly, Le Yu looks cool, but the content inside is basically fake. One of the most serious mistakes is that there may be legendary criminals at the bottom of the Eighth Blood Prison, but no one can learn anything from them.

Because, at the bottom of the Eighth Blood Prison, everyone is deaf. Not just criminals, but jailers as well.

Having lived here for two days, Le Yu has never heard a human voice other than himself.

The eighth blood prison, called the ‘Silent Room’.

Any prisoner who is imprisoned here, the first step is to cut off the base of the tongue and destroy the cochlea. Prisoners may be hysterical at first and may try to kill themselves, but when they find out that other people are deaf, and even the jailer is deaf, the comfort of ‘it’s not just me suffering’ will make them Courage to live.

As they get over the initial pain, the rest of the day gets easier. Because deaf people have formed a unique way of communication here, not only gestures, but sometimes they can communicate complex information just by looking at them. Humans are highly adaptable creatures, especially Huiyao people.

With the passage of time, the prisoners in the silence not only did not become cripple, but even became tougher and braver because of their disability, and gained the will to live in silence and darkness.

Then, they can’t leave here.

That’s the cruelty of The Silence: At first, you resist it; later, you get used to it; at the end, you can’t live without it.

Outside, they are crippled deaf people; in silence, they are equal ‘normal people’.

At first they often thought that they could break free from the swallowing of silence and escape the torture of the Eighth Blood Prison, but every effort they made was just pushing themselves into a deeper silence.

The people who are imprisoned here are basically complete losers who are unwilling to pull a hand from various forces, or they are hated by countless people, so that the death penalty is not enough to pay for their sins, and they will be sentenced to ‘eternal life’ The Silent Punishment’. Therefore, there is no certain status that is not qualified to come to the quiet room. Among the people who Le Yu knows, Cha Huan may be qualified to come here to retire.

There is another point, although Le Yu didn’t mention it when he read the documents of the Ministry of Punishment, but based on the limited contact in the past two days, Le Yu believes that those prison guards should also be prisoners.

After all, who would want to be a deaf jailer? But the prisoners are definitely willing, because they realize that they can’t leave here, and they are naturally willing to take the initiative to maintain the order in the silence.

Although this is the blood prison, it is also their only place of return.

However, Le Yu is just a passing tourist, and he doesn’t care whether the old-age facilities in Silent Room are sound, but the environment in Silent Room cuts off all the possibility of his escape.

The light source in the room is only a wisp of light leaking from the ceiling ~IndoMTL.com~, which is difficult to use to cast a light blast, not to mention that the door is a steel and cast iron door.

Everyone in the silence is deaf and dumb, and Le Yu can’t communicate with them at all. As for writing… Although there is paper, but no pen, did Le Yu write in blood?

And it’s useless even if Le Yu writes the blood letter – these deaf people don’t want to leave here at all, they have long accepted their fate to live together and die here.

Faced with such a group of people who have no desires or desires, what does Le Yu do to impress them?

Maybe unintentional or intentional, but the Eighth Blood Prison really caught Le Yu by surprise.

After eating the noodles, he went back to bed and planned to continue reading, but for some reason, the protagonist’s wonderful pretentious plot suddenly became dull in Le Yu’s eyes. He looked at the bookshelf, intending to read another book.

Cha Shiyin said before that he wanted to clean up an emperor’s suite for him. Emperor doesn’t know, but Huang is definitely yellow enough – except for the most popular popular novels such as “Vulcan Biography”~IndoMTL.com~ There are even the “Celebrity Collection” written by Mingyue Banquet, and the eighteen classics of the “Helm of Domination” series, many of which are cultural treasures that Le Yu has never even heard of, but the title makes people excited.

It will take more than three days to read the books that I am interested in.

Eating, drinking and reading, the surroundings are quiet and no one is noisy. No matter how you think about it, the best and only way for Le Yu at the moment is to calm down and read books obediently, and let time pass by in the silence and darkness.

When he steps out of the Eightfold Blood Prison, the country will crawl at his feet, the queen will obey his orders, and the court will be his tool.

The order of Le Yu at that time will be the fate of Hui Yao.

With power and status, Le Yu can do too many things: he can vigorously develop maritime trade, encourage his subjects to go to the world, and don’t get involved in the glory; he can invent hot air balloons, telephones, and inventions. Refrigerator and air conditioner; he can also reform the political system, make the “Future Echoes” he wrote a reality, and play the reality as a P club game; he can even ask Huiyao to help him find the Well of Gods and Demons and other secret realms of heaven and earth…

He doesn’t have to do anything, just sit back and enjoy.

However.

He couldn’t calm down.

Because he has already eaten his second dinner, tomorrow is the third day and the day Shuiyun ascends the throne. He is about to reach the summit, and Shuiyun will also lose his future.

As Cha Shiyin said, he can find 10,000 reasons to convince himself. But the ice blood flowing in his veins is destined to be unable to deceive himself in this life.

Why do you need to lose everything in exchange for gain? It’s unreasonable to think about it.
