Looking at Lao Zhang, Li Wei took a step back without making Lao Zhang's hand slapped his shoulder.

After going to the depths of Zhenyusi, I wonder if it was an illusion, but Li Wei always felt that the madness and distortion in Lao Zhang were even worse.

A trace of blood-colored granulation began to grow out of the empty eye sockets.

What exactly is there deep in the Yushi Branch of Huoyan Village, or is there a passage to the legendary second floor?

"Old Zhang, what's going on with this Buddhist matter? There is also the next level of the Zhenyu Division branch..."

Li Weiting looked deep in the cell and asked with a hint of confusion.

It is necessary to have timely curiosity, and being indifferent is the most abnormal.

"The Buddhist matters... cannot be said, cannot be said. This is not something that you can know at your level. Some things that you know too much are not good for you."

"As for the second floor of the Zhenyu Division, you will naturally understand it when you have accumulated enough merits. The only thing I can tell you is: while you are young, the faster you enter the next floor of the branch, the better. Haven't you noticed that the yamen runners on the first floor of the Zhenyu Division are changing faster and faster?"

How fast does the yamen runner change?

Li Wei was slightly stunned, recalling the memories of his predecessor, and suddenly discovered that the yamen runners on the first floor of the Zhenyu Department had unknowingly replaced dozens of people in a year.

So far, even he, the guy who just became a regular, has almost become an old man on the first floor of the Yushi Branch of Huoyan Village.

"Have the other yamen runners entered the second floor?"

Li Wei asked in a hurry.

He still had a guess and didn't dare to ask.

"Maybe..." Lao Zhang looked at Li Wei deeply with his empty eyes, then was silent, finally shook his head, and sighed: "Anyway, don't think too much. If you have your own interrogation ability, then try to interrogate some criminals as much as possible, speed up the accumulation of merits, and enter the second level as soon as possible."

"Okay, don't think about Li Zimo's affairs."

"I have time to interrogate the witch and the pawn. Why are the people in Huoyan Village and Imperial Department less and less? It seems that it is time to apply for another batch of places with the superiors."

Lao Zhang sighed, waved his hand, and asked Li Wei to leave.

......

noon

It's time to eat.

Li Wei slowly put away the files of the witch and the pawn and left the cell where he was temporarily resting.

The dining room on the first floor of the branch.

This canteen was renovated with three C-shaped cells, which are usually used by more than a dozen yamen runners on the first floor of the branch to have dinner.

Logically speaking, there must be no chef in this place. When the Zhenyu Branch was first established, the first-level yamen runs to the village for dinner.

But later, Lao Zhang found a chef who made a little bit of a small matter from somewhere, and then naturally came up with a drama of using hard work to make up for his merits.

Poor that chef, who had only been in prison for half a year, has been making up for his merits until now, but has not been out.

The more you make up for the more rhythm.

Li Wei made a meal, sat in the corner, and listened carefully to the gossip of the yamen runners.

For this world, he is just a newcomer and needs to collect more information.

These jailers in Zhenyusi were his best source of information. After all, these jailers interrogated various criminals and knew more or less some secrets that the outside world did not know.

"I heard that there were several prisoners who returned from the second floor today?"

"Yes, I may be locked in a cell of A. I hope it's not our turn to interrogate. Damn, interrogate prisoners of A., or return to the second floor, and the dead will be the ones who must be killed."

"Stop talking, there are several official yamen runners ahead, so it's not our turn."

"That's true!"

Hearing this, Li Wei frowned. In his previous memory, he only knew that the prisoners on the first floor might be transferred to the second floor, just like Li Zimo today. But he had never seen the prisoners on the second floor be called back to the first floor to be detained.

Also, the mortality rate of Zhenyusi is very high. He was a young man in the past and never cared about these things. Now it seems that he is a fool who is lucky to be stupid?

Or is Lao Zhang's secret care?

"By the way, does anyone know what the second floor of this branch looks like?"

"I don't know. I don't know enough merits, how can I understand? After so many years, I have begun to doubt whether this second floor exists. After all, I have never seen the second floor runners come up."

"The second floor should exist. Just like Haichengfu, hasn't most of us never been to Haichengfu? It doesn't exist?"

"Tsk, Haichengfu? If the guys in the guards were not escorting a group of criminals to our Zhenyu Branch from time to time, I would have doubted whether the Haichengfu existed."

"You bastard, can this be the same?"

......

Huoyan Village is close to the edge of a hundred thousand volcano, and is very far from Haicheng Mansion. Except for the caravans and the guardians who are traveling far away, as well as several nearby villages, few outsiders come.

The Zhenguansi is at the same level as the Zhenguansi. The former is responsible for arresting and the latter is responsible for interrogation, detention and disposal.

Because Huoyan Village is remote, most of the villagers who are born and raised here have never left Huoyan Village in their lifetime.

"By the way, a prisoner said that Haichengfu seems to be in chaos recently, and a large number of unknown elements are doing evil in Haichengfu?"

"I have heard of this, but Haicheng Mansion has suppressed the riots. It is said that the guys in the custody department have arrested a large number of prisoners from all walks of life. The dozen people sent here a few days ago were just appetizers. A large number of prisoners will definitely be diverted to us in the next few days."

"The guys in the guards are really good. When they arrest people, don't consider the ability of our guards? Interrogating those guys from all walks of life is very dangerous. Who knows if there are any people from the three religions hidden?"

"Yes, let alone the people in the Three Deeds, it's enough for us to meet the guys who are middle-aged and upper-aged. Four days ago, interrogating those guys who are middle-aged and upper-aged, has caused a large number of prisoners responsible for interrogation to be killed in our branch."

Some jailer mentioned the interrogation four days ago and his voice was a little flustered.

The atmosphere of discussion around suddenly became much quieter. After a long time, the jailers began to discuss other matters.

Four days ago?

Li Wei thought about this time point when his predecessor died and he traveled through time.

The reason for the death of the predecessor comes from this.

"Brother Xiao Wei, have you been getting better recently?"

"The interrogation a few days ago was really dangerous. Who would have thought that there was such a dangerous existence hidden among those inferior guys."

"Luckily you're fine!"

A fat man, holding a chicken thigh in his left hand and a meat-filled bone in his right hand, sat in front of Li Wei with his butt, muttering with oily mouth.

Li Wei looked up and saw a huge mouth with teeth on the fat man's chest, vomiting out all the food that the fat man had swallowed, chewing it again.

A strong fishy smell almost hits my face.
