Chapter 546 Blood Prison
The Ministry of Justice’s Imperial Prison, the Eight-Level Blood Prison, the room at the bottom and the deepest, Leyu was reading a book through a ray of light leaking from the ceiling.
Suddenly, footsteps came from the door, and then a small window was opened on the wall. The people outside first took away the white-slashed chicken rice that Leyu had eaten, and then brought in a bowl of fragrant noodles and a bowl of clear fresh soup.
"Is it time to eat?" Leyu closed the book, went over and sniffed it deeply, raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect that I could also eat beef brisket fried noodles specially provided by the Pig Food Canteen here. Thank you for your hard work."
The jailer outside had no reaction. He neither planned to humiliate Leyu nor wanted to please Leyu. He closed the window and left directly. Leyu was not surprised by this. He stirred the fried sauce and Yi noodles thoroughly and put it into his mouth with a bite of beef brisket mixed noodles. The fresh aroma of the fried sauce, the juicy beef brisket, and the strongness of the Yi noodles broke out between his lips and teeth. Then he took a sip of the freshly fragrant pork rib soup to clear the sweetness and relieve greasiness.
This is his second supper.
He has been locked up here for two days.
When the door of the cell was closed, Leyu knew that he would never be able to leave here by himself.
As the oldest Yanjing Prison, the Yahei Blood Prison can be traced back to the time of Emperor Gaozu. Because the Huiyao people desire the nature of light, just locking the prisoners in a dark basement can make them unable to recover, and even cause them to suffer from severe claustrophobia.
I don’t know how many arrogant warriors were locked in the basement for a few months. When they came out, they became docile people as gentle as sheep, and they couldn’t even turn off the lights and sleep at night.
Therefore, the ground prisons basically only imprisoned prisoners with less crimes and death row prisoners - they are about to die and are too lazy to torture you - and anyone who is imprisoned in the Eight-Level Blood Prison is basically aimed at the goal of completely "physical and mental transformation" of the criminals, which can be said to be the real "death crime can be avoided from being alive".
However, in fact, there are only facilities like the Eighth Blood Prison in Yanjing. If it were to be replaced by the outer area, criminals who were really guilty would basically be sentenced to death. The local finances did not have the resources to support prisoners for more than ten years. Therefore, there are few criminals sentenced to more than ten years in prison in the outer area, and naturally they do not need to detain their facilities.
Due to the complex interest relationship, Yan Jing sometimes fought with aristocratic families, and sometimes party struggles in the court and the opposition, so there were many "rare criminals", "epic criminals", and "legendary criminals" who were sentenced to heavy imprisonment.
But after all, it is the capital of the imperial city, and killing it is a taboo in the party struggle - after all, after 30 years Hedong and 30 years Hexi, if you kill others today, others will definitely kill you in the future - so you are imprisoned in the Blood Prison and become a nursing home for all kinds of political prisoners and warriors. Sometimes when the consuls of the outside area encounter such "high-level criminals", they will also be sent to the Eighth Blood Prison to give achievements to the Ministry of Justice.
The novel "The Marquis of Blood" that Leyu just read is a story about the Eighth Blood Prison. It tells the story of a young man who fell to the deepest part of the Eighth Blood Prison because he was wronged (that is, the room of Leyu), and then met nine legendary criminals, learned all their skills, and after seeking an opportunity to escape from prison, he used his skills to take revenge and open the harem outside.
To be honest, the music language is very pleasant to watch, but the contents are basically fake. The most serious mistake is that there may be legendary criminals at the bottom of the Eighth Blood Prison, but no one can learn any skills from them.
Because, at the bottom of the Eight-Level Blood Prison, everyone is deaf and mute. Not only criminals, but also prisoners.
After staying here for two days, Leyu has never heard anyone other than himself.
The eighth level of blood suspicion is called "Silential".
The first step for prisoners who are locked up here is to cut off the root of their tongue and destroy the cochlea. At the beginning, the prisoners may be hysterical and may find ways to commit suicide, but when they find that others are also deaf and mute, even the prison guards are deaf and mute, this comfort of "not only I suffer" will give them the courage to live.
As they survive the initial pain, the days that follow will become easier and easier. Because deaf and mute people have formed a unique way of communication here, not just gestures, sometimes they can communicate complex information by relying on their eyes alone. People are a very adaptable creature, especially in the case of shining people.
As time goes by, the prisoners in the silence not only do not become disabled people, but will even become more tenacious and braver due to incompleteness, and gain the will to survive in the silence and darkness.
Then, they couldn't live without this place.
This is the cruelty of the ‘Silent’: at first, you will resist it; later, you will get used to it; in the end, you will be unable to live without it.
Outside, they are the broken deaf and mute people; while in the silence, they are equal "normal people".
At first, they often think that they can break free from the devour of silence and escape the torture of the Eight Levels of Blood Prison, but every effort they try is nothing more than pushing themselves into deeper silence.
Those who are locked up here are basically complete losers who are unwilling to take action by all forces, or are hated by countless people, so that the death penalty is not enough to repay their sins, so they are sentenced to the "punishment of eternal silence". Therefore, if there is no certain status, it is not qualified to come to the quiet place. Among the people whom Leyu knows, Cha Huan may be qualified to come here to retire.
Another point is that although Leyu did not mention it when he read the Ministry of Justice’s information, based on the limited contacts in the past two days, Leyu believes that the prisoners should have been prisoners.
After all, who would be a normal person willing to be a deaf and mute jailer? But prisoners are certainly willing to, because they realize that they can no longer leave here, so they are naturally willing to take the initiative to maintain order in the quiet.
Although this is the Blood Hell, it is also their only place to go.
However, Leyu is just a passerby tourist, and he doesn't care whether the elderly care facilities in the quiet room are sound, but the quiet room environment cut off all the possibility of him running away.
The light source in the room is only a wisp of the ceiling leaking, and it is difficult to read books. It is impossible to use it to use light explosions, let alone the prison door is a cast iron door.
Everyone was deaf and mute in the silence, and Leyu couldn't communicate with them at all. As for writing... Although there was paper, there was no pen. Could it be that Leyu wrote a bloody book?
And even if Leyu writes a blood book, it is useless - this group of deaf and mute people don't want to leave here at all, they have long accepted their fate and live together here for a long time.
Faced with such a group of people with no desires, what can Leyu impress them?
Maybe it was unintentional, maybe it was intentional, but the Eightfold Blood Prison did catch Leyu helpless.
After eating the noodles, he returned to bed and planned to continue reading, but for some reason, the protagonist's wonderful and sensual plot suddenly became boring in Leyu's eyes. He looked at the bookshelf and planned to change to another book to read.
Cha Shiyin said before that he wanted to clean up an emperor's suite for him. Emperor or not, but Huang is definitely yellow enough. In addition to the most popular popular novels such as "The Legend of the God of Fire", there are even "Collection of Celebrities" written by Mingyue Banquet, as well as the eighteen classic classics in the "Dover the Helmet" series. Many of them are cultural treasures that have never even heard of the music, but the title is exciting.
It takes more than three days to read these books that are interesting to you after reading the music.
There is food, drink, and reading books, and there is no one quarrel around you. No matter what you think, the best and only way for Leyu at present is to calm down and read books obediently, and let time pass in the quiet and darkness.
When he stepped out of the Eight-Level Blood Prison, the country would crawl at his feet, the Queen obeyed his orders, and the court became his tool.
At that time, the command of Yueyu will be Huiyao's destiny.
With power and status, Leyu can do too many things: he can vigorously develop maritime trade, encourage his subjects to go to the world, and not turn it in Huiyao; he can invent hot air balloons, invent telephones, invent refrigerators and air conditioners; he can also reform the political system, make the "Future Echo" he wrote a reality, and play reality as a P-society game; he can even let Huiyao help him find the well of gods and demons and other secret realms of heaven and earth...
He can enjoy the fruits without doing anything.
However, it just happened.
He couldn't calm down.
Because he had already had his second supper, tomorrow is the third day, and it is also the day when Shuiyun ascends the throne. He is about to reach the top, and Shuiyun will also lose his future.
As Cha Shiyin said, he could find ten thousand reasons to convince himself. But the ice blood flowing in his blood vessels was destined to be unable to deceive himself in his life.
