The General's Dishonesty (Twenty-One): Iron Prison Play (Page 1/2)

    In the imperial study, Li Yao leaned on the dragon throne, one hand touching the carving on the side. It had been rubbed by the previous emperor for decades, and it felt smooth as jade. Wrapped in the palm of his hand, it seemed as if the whole world was in his palm.

    "What happened?"

    "Not to mention the iron wall and copper wall, the chain that locked Xiong Tingfei went straight to the ground ten feet, and it was made of black iron that even the Great Luo Immortal could not break. ..... Plus, Gui Xi was guarding it personally, so there shouldn't be too many problems." Li Ren replied.

    If it weren't for Gui Xi's action, the end of the coronation ceremony would have been even more embarrassing. The first man of the earth level of Wushuang Pavilion, who seemed to be thin and weak, actually hid such a terrifying power that he could rival the God of War in Xiting. Li Yao stood far away, and although he didn't see Xu Weiran's movements clearly, the way Xiong Tingfei fell without any preparation was really shocking. No one knew how he did it.

    "I saw the fifth sister when I came here just now. I'm afraid she is going to plead for Xiong Tingfei."

    Li Yao's expression was a little cold: "Don't pay attention to her. A dignified royal princess doesn't care about the country of Xiting and only cares about her children's personal feelings. She even pleads for Xiong Tingfei, a traitor. She doesn't know the priorities and doesn't have the responsibility and righteousness of a royal family. ... Although Li Yue is not up to the task of the marriage in the north, it's time to hone her skills. ... You go and arrange it."

    "Okay."

    "By the way, how is Liuli?"

    Li Ren smiled bitterly: "Even I admire her a little. If it were an ordinary woman,... seeing such a bloody scene, I'm afraid she would have fainted long ago. She can actually handle the situation calmly. ... But I don't see that her face is too serious, I'm afraid she may be holding on."

    Li Yao sighed.

    "It's hard for Liuli. I can't get away now, so you can take care of her for me. If you need anything, just tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After the prince's power is almost cleared, I will also discuss the matter of conferring the title of empress with Minister Murong."

    Li Ren nodded, hiding the sadness in his eyes.

    "As for the power of Wushuang Pavilion," the man on the dragon chair touched his chin, his handsome features seemed to be thinking, "after all, it can't be put on the surface, do you know what to do?"

    "Royal brother means..." Li Ren's mouth began to smile, as if a hint of coldness passed through.

    "Xiong Tingfei is right about one thing. The Jianghu gangsters can't compete with the court no matter what."

    The country is in hand, it's time to clear all obstacles and hidden dangers.

    "Remember to be careful with Gui Xi."

    .....

    The dungeon where the general of the cavalry is imprisoned has only one exit. The dungeon is three feet deep underground, which is easy to accumulate water in the summer. After three days in the water dungeon, the lower body begins to fester and the organs fail. Even the toughest prisoners will have a mental breakdown after repeated torture and whipping.

    However, no matter how powerful the water dungeon is, it is not as tough as black iron. In order to prevent Xiong Tingfei from escaping the prison, Li Yao specially arranged people in the innermost iron cell. On the one hand, there are black iron chains to restrain the prisoners' movements; on the other hand, the walls cast by molten iron are not only hard but also difficult to break. Even if they are infused with true qi and attacked with heavy weapons, they cannot easily break the walls. Moreover, the jailers will come down to patrol every two hours. How can such a loud noise escape their ears?
