Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

They never expected such a dramatic turn of events.

Under Xueyi's scrutinizing gaze, Han Ya had no choice but to explain in a low voice, "Sister, it's not what you think..."

“I did not torture or extract a confession from Mr. Su Jinyan. He insisted on going to the prison.”

"I sent him in only after I questioned the judge of the Ministry of Justice."

Xueyi nodded gently: "Miss Tingyun, if you want to know whether what I said is true or false..."

"You might as well go and ask Su Jinyan."

"Although visiting is against the rules, I can turn a blind eye." (Chi)

"There is one more thing. I hope you will not spread this matter on the forum. This is my personal request."

Tingyun smiled slightly: "Alright, then this young lady also has two requests."

"First of all, you judges must not use torture to extract confessions from our benefactor; you must treat him to good food and drink."

"Then, I need an hour to visit you."

Xueyi frowned deeply: "Ten minutes... no more than that..."

......

The prison was dark and gloomy, with no light at all, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

"It's so dark here, I can't see anything at all!"

"Lord Xueyi, can you see the road clearly?" Tingyun couldn't help but ask.

"Wait a moment."

Xueyi walked to a corner, picked up a lantern that emitted a ghostly green flame, and handed it to Tingyun.

"The Prison of Darkness is a bottomless prison, where there is no light at all."

"Ordinary light cannot illuminate this place; only the lantern of the messenger of the underworld can light it up."

"Crow, you should know where Su Jinyan is being held, right? Lead the way."

The crow nodded slightly: "Yes, sister."

Han Ya knew that Su Jinyan was innocent, unlike those serious criminals.

Therefore, she deliberately separated Su Jinyan from the remaining members of the Medicine King's secret lineage and imprisoned them separately.

Not only was a spacious and comfortable cell reserved for Su Jinyan, but...

There were no chains made of coral gold binding his hands and feet.

I don't think there will be any problems.

However, after walking for a while, Tingyun suddenly stopped.

Han Ya asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Miss Tingyun?"

Tingyun's pretty face shifted between light and shadow: "May I ask a question?"

"You didn't torture my benefactor, did you?"

Compared to the Immortal Boat People, the Fox People possess innate talents.

The fox people's sense of smell, hearing, reaction speed, and sensitivity are all far superior to those of the immortal boat people.

Therefore, Tingyun was able to smell the burnt odor in the air before the two judges.

This is why so many fox people serve as aviators or archers in the Immortal Boat Alliance, while it is rare to see Immortal Boat people holding such positions.

However, every strength has its weaknesses; the lifespan of fox people is far shorter than that of immortal boat people.

Xueyi's expression changed slightly, clearly she had also smelled the burnt smell.

"Crow, could it be that some blind underworld official here branded him with branding?"

The crow hurriedly denied it: "No, sister."

“I really didn’t torture him, nor did I ask the underworld messengers to do so.”

"Looking on the bright side, it's not necessarily Mr. Su Jinyan who has the problem; it could be someone else."

How could she have made such a serious mistake?

Tingyun took a deep breath: "Judges, you had better not tortured our benefactor."

"Otherwise, what you will face next is not just the wrath of this young woman alone."

"It is the combined fury of the Shence Bureau, the Tianbo Bureau, and the Taibu Bureau."

Xueyi said urgently, "Take me to see him quickly, what if something really happened!"

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps echoed in the deep and silent prison.

When Han Ya arrived at the prison where Su Jinyan was being held, he was so shocked by the sight before him that he was speechless.

Su Jinyan was unharmed, her eyes shining brightly, showing no signs of injury.

But those in the neighboring prisons were not so lucky.

The air was filled with a strong smell of burning.

Several farmers were struck by lightning and suffered extremely tragic injuries.

Well, from a distance, it looks just like a giant block of Chips Ahoy! dark chocolate.

The crow murmured, "How...how could this be?"

Xueyi hurriedly pushed open the prison door and squatted down to examine the charred bodies of the cultivators.

"These people died from the bombardment of thunder."

“But I felt a familiar power from the wound. Yes, it was the Abundant Fate Walker causing trouble.”

Tingyun pounded on the prison door urgently: "My benefactor, are you alright?"

Su Jinyan sighed: "Of course I was hurt. My young heart suffered a serious trauma."

Do you know what it feels like to be surrounded by Chips Ahoy! chocolates from all sides?

"It was an overwhelming feeling of suffocation, despair engulfing me—"

Xueyi interrupted with a stern face, "Su Jinyan, did you kill them all?"

Su Jinyan continued to sigh: "Look at you, trying to frame an innocent person without any evidence."

"Why don't you ask the prisoners in the dungeon who killed them?"

No one dared to utter a sound in the prison. The farmers were all cursing inwardly, "What the hell are you putting on?"

Who doesn't know that you, the judge, were setting a trap and cooperating with a young girl in a charade?

Everyone knows this in their hearts, but they are afraid to say it for fear of making you angry.

They even went so far as to falsely accuse other farmers; the judges of the Ten Kings' Court have absolutely no shame.

Xueyi strode up to a farmer and asked, "I ask you, and you must answer truthfully, why did the prisoners here die?"

The farmer was almost in tears: "Your Honor, is this something I should say?"

Xueyi's expression was indifferent: "If you don't speak, I have plenty of ways to punish you criminals."

That's too cruel! This judge is too vicious. Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but you're going to torture us in all sorts of ways, aren't you?

The scholar asked cautiously, "Your Honor, is it possible that those people committed suicide?"

Su Jinyan nodded seriously: "Yes, yes, it was suicide."

“They all committed suicide, and I believe it.”

Xueyi suddenly grabbed Shizhe by the collar: "Do you think I'm so easily fooled? You'd better tell the truth!"

"Crow, did you bring a lie detector jade omen?"

The crow thoughtfully handed over the lie detector: "Yes, sister."

Xueyi said coldly, "I ask, you answer. If you deliberately conceal the truth, you should know the consequences."

Shi Zhe nervously swallowed and answered all of Xueyi's questions truthfully.

However, his answer was entirely based on his own conjecture, which naturally played right into Su Jinyan's hands.

"impossible--!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

After hearing Shi Zhe's story, Xueyi's first reaction was that he was lying.

I was investigating Su Jinyan at the Earth Balance Division, how could I possibly have gone on a killing spree in the prison?

The problem is that he is just an ordinary farmer and has no ability to bypass the lie detector's detection mechanism.

Xueyi's emotions gradually became unstable; she refused to believe it.

So she found another person and questioned them with a lie detector.

The reply they received was almost identical to the one given by the previous grower.
