Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The third basement of the dungeon was damaged, but its overall structure was very solid, so its use remained unaffected.
The felons who had been dragged out for treatment yesterday were also locked back in rhe second basement of the dungeon.
Ye Jingtang went to the Black Office with his saber at his waist, preparing to interrogate a prisoner. When he walked past a tea room, he found that it was quite lively inside.
After the storm, the experts of the Black Office more or less suffered some injuries. The incident had just happened yesterday, but the office couldn’t be left empty-handed. For this reason, those with minor injuries still went to work as usual without resting and awaited orders in the office.
The environment in rhe tea room was not bad. Everyone had a cushioned recliner, and there were tea and snacks beside them.
The wounds of Shang Jianli, who had suffered two blows from Liu Qiansheng, gradually recovered. Me was sitting with Qiu Tianhe and recounting yesterday’s results with a few injured chief constables.
“Liu Qiansheng is old, which is why I knocked him down with my needle. If we re talking about who’s more powerful, it’s still Hero Qiu. Eunuch Cao is ranked first in Jianghu. Hero Qiu didn’t die from a single strike. It’s really beyond our expectations..11
“I was handling a case for the Black Office. 1 just cherished my life and held back. If it were a life-and-death fight, Cao Qiansui wouldn’t have been able to walk out of the street yesterday…”
Ye Jingtang passed by the window and was about to say a few words of condolence when he suddenly found a big recliner under the window.
The big bird with the scarf was lying on it with its wings spread, looking half-dead, waiting for a recuperating female constable to feed it snacks.
Seeing this. Ye Jingtang was speechless. He let the bird play by itself. Unexpectedly, the bird was so self-aware that it didn’t even let go of the work-related injury benefits of the Black Office, lie raised his hand and knocked on the windowsill.
“Chirp?” The bird raised its head, jumped up, landed on the armrest, and politely gestured for Ye Jingtang to sit down with its wing.
There was a pause of conversation in the tea room. Qiu Tianhe looked up, put down his teacup, stood up, and walked out. “Kid, you’re really handsome in this outfit. If you wear it out, the heroines in Jianghu will circle around you. You won’t be very likable.”
Qiu Tianhe s strength had recovered. Although his appearance hadn’t changed much, he looked like a completely different person with his essence, qi, and spirit. His build was large, and he had the Heaven Equaling Saber hanging ar his waist. When he stood at the door, he looked like the sweeping monk of the Black Office.
“It’s just something to wear for formal occasions.” Ye Jingtang walked over to him and asked, “Hero Qiu, how are your injuries?”
“They’re just some internal injuries. Divine Doctor Wang used a few needles, and I’m basically fine.”
“That’s good. Hero Qiu, are you familiar with Liu Qiansheng?”
Qiu Tianhe smiled. “Liu Qiansheng was one of rhe Eight Chiefs thirty years ago. At that time, I was still a wanderer about the same age as you. We didn’t meet, but we’ve heard of each other.11
Hearing this, Ye Jingtang raised his hand and smiled. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to see an elder of Jianghu. You have a high status in Jianghu. Liu Qiansheng won’t give the Imperial Court face, but he will probably give you face. Hero Qiu, see if you can be a lobbyist and persuade him to confess.”
Qiu Tianhe didn’t say anything else and entered the dungeon with Ye Jingtang.
There was no difference in the first basement of the dungeon, but the changes in the second basement were huge.
Yesterday, more than 20 rebels had been arrested. Many of them were famous in Jianghu and had committed major crimes. They were all locked up in rhe second basement, and everyone had a single room. There were several chief constables questioning them back and forth.
Ye Jingtang walked through the corridor of the second basement and arrived at Earth Room No. 2, looking for the person most famous in the dungeon, the former Fist Chief.
But when he looked down the hole, he saw two half-dead men lying on the ground, looking weak and pale.
?
Ye Jingtang was taken aback. He looked at them carefully and said in bafflement, “Why are they staying here?”
Qiu Tianhe lowered his head and looked ar them. He was also surprised. “They’re not dead yet. These two brothers are really tough.”
When Second Wang saw the two faces appear above him, his eyes immediately showed a look of ecstasy. He turned over and looked up. “Sir Ye, you’re finally here. The two of us don’t deserve to die. A sentence of eight to ten years is enough… Eh? Sir Ye…”
Ye Jingtang didn’t bother with irrelevant people. He went out to ask before finding the cell where Liu Qiansheng was imprisoned.
The specifications of the cell were the same as the other cells. It was a large square room.
Although Liu Qiansheng was in prison, he still had the airs of the Eight Chief. His hands and feet were chained, and he was sitting cross-legged with his back against the wall. He looked slightly sage-like.
Ye Jingtang opened the iron fence and jumped in with Qiu Tianhe.
As a person of Jianghu, Qiu Tian cupped his hands and bowed out of respect for the elder. “Senior Liu, 1 have heard so much about you.”
Liu Qiansheng looked up and saw Ye Jingtang. lie was definitely not very happy. After noticing the imposing Qiu Tianhe beside him, he frowned slightly. “Your Excellency, you are?”
“Qiu Tianhe. Elder Liu, I wonder if you have heard of me?”
Liu Qiansheng was obviously stunned. It was often said that the new generation surpassed the old. Qiu Tianhe was a top Grandmaster of rhe current era and was only one step away from becoming one of the Eight Chiefs. In terms of influence on the current Jianghu, he was much more influential than him, a senior who had already declined.
Qiu Tianhe could even address him respectfully as Elder Liu when he had fallen from grace. Liu Qiansheng obviously enjoyed it. He cupped his hands while holding the iron chains. “So, it’s Young Hero Qiu. The Heaven Equaling Saber is famous in Jianghu, and I’ve heard a lot about you. Now that I’ve seen you today, you’re indeed extraordinary. Back then, you robbed the emperor’s wedding envoy team and committed a major crime that could put nine generations of your family to death. I heard that you were surrounded and captured by the Imperial Court last year. Now…”
Qiu Tianhe sat on the ground in front and smiled. “1 used to live here, but I made some contributions recently. I’ve cleared my past crime and regained my freedom.”
A strange look appeared in Liu Qiansheng’s eyes.. “You can even be pardoned by the Imperial Court for the crime you committed?”
