Hidden in the court

Chapter 107 The trouble caused by the moon

Just as everyone was puzzled, more screams rang out, as if the entire Shaojiansi had fallen into a terrible nightmare.

An ominous premonition arose in everyone's hearts. They didn't know what had happened, but the screams made them feel unprecedented fear.

Others didn't know what was going on, but Rowling knew it very well.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, Ji Mingshang was lying on the bed with his hands on the back of his head, bored.

The moonlight shone through the window paper onto the ground. Listening to the snoring in the room, Ji Mingshang couldn't fall asleep at all and started to think secretly.

Go find Rowling, leave right away, and get out of bed.

"crunch..."

He carefully opened the door a crack and looked outside. There was an official standing on each side of the courtyard in front of him, who were also taking a nap.

"Slipping away..."

The girls lived in another courtyard. Ji Mingshang climbed on the roof and looked down carefully. It seemed that no one lived here, which made him secretly happy.

He kicked his legs and flew across the courtyard like a bird, landing on the roof accurately and silently. Then, he slowly descended to the ground along the edge of the wall, his movements were skillful and steady.

Ji Mingshang stuck to the wall and decided to use the same trick again to send a secret signal - imitating a cat's meow.

“Meow meow meow…”

He slowly imitated the sound of a cat, and the sound became louder and louder. People who were originally immersed in sleep were awakened one after another, and those who were still awake frowned and muttered in their sleep. Luo Lin also heard this strange sound in a half-awake state, and began to wonder if Ji Mingshang was playing tricks.

However, just as she was thinking about how to leave, Ji Mingshang, who was leaning against the wall and imitating the meow of a cat, suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder gently.

Ji Mingshang was startled and turned his head subconsciously. Due to excessive nervousness, he failed to control his voice and uttered a sharp "Meow!"

"Master Xingsi... the weather is really nice tonight, and the moon is so round..."

I saw a familiar figure behind me. Ji Mingshang leaned against the wall, and the squinting smile in front of him looked so insincere.

The person who took the photo of him was Li Yi.

"My Lord, you are so elegant. Are you interested in sitting in my torture chamber?"

Ji Mingshang waved his hands quickly, the corners of his mouth twitching wildly, and smiled awkwardly: "No need, my lord, you have worked very hard, I can go back by myself..."

As he said this, he greased his feet, turned around and was about to run.

"Stop, follow me!"

Torture Chamber

Under the dim light, there are wooden donkeys, standing cages, finger clamps, nipple clamps, tiger benches, nail boards, shackles, leg irons, gold gourds, headbands, and various knives of all sizes...

Ji Mingshang looked at these things, and even though he knew that these things were most likely just decorations, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Sir, this crime is not punishable by death. You are so beautiful, you will not embarrass me, right?"

Li Yi ignored his mouth and pointed to the standing cage in the corner.

"Stand inside."

The standing cage, also known as the standing cangue, is long in the front and short in the back, with the long end touching the ground. There is a mouth on the cage that clamps the prisoner's neck, and the prisoner has to stand day and night in extreme pain until he dies. Some people put something under their feet first, and then remove the padding after it is clamped around their neck, causing the prisoner to suffocate to death while hanging in the air. It is often used to execute designated criminals.

Ji Mingshang's crime obviously did not deserve the death penalty, so when he stood in, Li Yi lowered his height by three inches, making it impossible for him to stand straight. He could only slightly bend his legs and half squat to barely support himself.

The next moment, more than a dozen officials came into the torture room and started screaming after a disagreement.

"what--"

"Ah ah ah..."

Ji Mingshang was speechless. This was done specifically to scare people outside. It was a strange feeling to look at a problem with an answer in mind.

People outside don’t think so, they just feel terrified, especially Rowling, who doesn’t know the truth and is worried about Ji Mingshang all the time.

After a long time, Ji Mingshang felt something was wrong. His waist and knees felt a little strange. Even with his high martial arts skills, he couldn't bear it.

But Li Yi didn't leave and leaned on the table to argue with him.

The screams lasted for half an hour, gradually becoming fainter and calmer, but Ji Mingshang struggled to hold on for the entire night.

At noon, Li Yi woke up from the table and wiped the corner of his mouth. He saw Ji Mingshang's lips were chapped and his forehead was sweating. He stepped forward to open the cage, and Ji Mingshang staggered and almost fell.

"No, you can sleep if you want. You drool all night and snore!"

Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Li Yi also knew that he was not in serious trouble, so he said unhappily: "Go for a run!"

"it is good…"

Ji Mingshang limped to the door, walked out, and closed the door. His expression changed, and he immediately jumped up and walked from the roof to the outside in a few steps.

Luo Lin was relieved to see that he was fine. Hu Die knew what happened last night. She knew it when Ji Mingshang imitated the cat's meow. She was also speechless. This guy was still not serious at all. What was he doing in a woman's room at night?

"It's great to be young..."

It happened that an official who was leaving the court saw the Young Supervisor doing military drill, as well as Ji Mingshang and Hu Die running wildly, and he sighed like this.

"Yes, being young is..."

Lowe searched for his daughter in the crowd, but his sighing voice suddenly stopped.

"Ji Mingshang?"

Luo Wei also saw Ji Mingshang running wildly in front of him, and immediately understood what was going on. Wasn’t his daughter a sheep walking into a tiger’s mouth?

Just at this moment, Li Yi came out of the door, and Luo Wei stepped forward and greeted him: "Master Li."

When Li Yi saw that it was Luo Wei, he immediately behaved well and bowed to greet him.

"Prime Minister, please don't embarrass my little daughter. You are the elder. I wonder if the Prime Minister has any instructions?"

Lowe didn't waste any words and put forward his demands.

"I don't know if I can let my daughter go home. She came here voluntarily as a junior supervisor. She should be able to come out, right?"

Li Yi looked embarrassed, "This..."

Luo Wei also knew that this matter required a rule, and he couldn't break the rule just because of his daughter. If so, what authority would the Junior Supervisor have in the future?

As the prime minister, he didn't want to break the rules, but he couldn't put his daughter in danger, right?

Especially when he saw Ji Mingshang's smile as he looked at him, Lowe felt that the smile was full of provocation towards him.

"Don't be too embarrassed, just let it go. I want to ask you for a favor and keep an eye on my daughter and Ji Mingshang. I'm afraid they don't understand..."

Hearing him say this, Li Yi became excited. He had heard that Prince Jin's son Ji Mingshang and the Prime Minister's daughter Luo Lin were engaged. How could there be something about this that I didn't know?

But she also understood that her old father was worried about her in the same way.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are too kind. It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning. To be honest with you, Prime Minister, I saw Ji Mingshang secretly..."

Li Yi told Luo Wei what happened last night.
