Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 43: Brat

"Commander Han, you were looking for me?"

Jiang Feng found it strange; it was the first time Han Dong came to find him at the workplace.

"Yes, I want to introduce someone to you."

Han Dong brought along a Prison Chief.

About eighteen or nineteen years old.

Had very handsome features, fair and tender skin, but lacked masculine vigor.

"This is the new Prison Chief Cao, named Cao Zhen. He’s not too familiar with the place yet, so you’ll be responsible for guiding him for a few days. Remember not to let him make any mistakes."

Han Dong pointed to the newcomer.

"Yes, I will remember."

Jiang Feng nodded.

He sensed something was amiss.

"Learn well from Jiang Feng and don’t cause trouble for me, got it?"

Han Dong said to Cao Zhen.

"Yes, I’ve heard it all before."

Cao Zhen replied impatiently.

To dare as a Prison Chief to speak in such a tone to the Commander, he either hasn’t faced the harsh realities of society or has a powerful background.

Jiang Feng chose to believe the latter.

Han Dong was not angry.

He turned and left.

After a few steps, he remembered something and said to Jiang Feng, "Now with the Court inspecting rebel factions all over Dragon Capital, things are safer than before. Don’t stay in prison all day making people laugh."

"Yes."

Jiang Feng nodded again, knowing that news had spread about him staying in Zhenbei Prison for a month or two.

Initially, after Yuan Tiangang’s death, everyone felt it was necessary to be cautious and stayed longer in Zhenbei Prison, like Jiang Feng, who didn’t venture out recklessly.

As the entire city of Dragon Capital began to hunt down rebel factions, scaring them deeply, many people gradually relaxed, feeling there was no need to stay in prison and not go out.

Slowly, Jiang Feng became a joke.

Many said he was cowardly and fearful.

Panicked over nothing.

However, this was the result Jiang Feng wanted.

He even let people know that he wore an Iron Wire Grass Protective Suit at all times, carried several packs of Zombie Powder, and two Thunder Burst Beads, making everyone believe that Yuan Tiangang and Lei Laohu’s deaths had frightened him greatly.

For this, Uncle Huo even came to visit him a few times specifically.

...

"What kinds of people are locked up in the prison? Take me to see them."

After Han Dong left.

Cao Zhen said to Jiang Feng.

His tone was somewhat commanding.

"Prison Chief Cao, there’s nothing much to see about the inmates. Let me take you around the third layer first! Once you’re familiar, I’ll introduce other things to you."

Jiang Feng smiled.

Cao Zhen’s background is surely not simple.

Being a Prison Chief in Zhenbei Prison seems more like he’s here to mess around.

Such a person cannot be treated carelessly, nor can he cause trouble on the third layer, especially not in front of me.

"Alright, lead the way."

Cao Zhen nodded.

He seemed accustomed to ordering those around him.

So, Jiang Feng took Cao Zhen for a stroll around the third layer, and even walked by the entrance of Han Dong’s courtyard.

"I hear there are many interesting places in the prison cells, why do you only show me the work areas?"

After walking a long way.

Cao Zhen was uninterested, speaking impatiently.

"Prison Chief Cao thinks there’s more interesting places, how do you plan to enjoy them?"

Jiang Feng asked with curiosity.

"Torture chamber, the place where brutal punishments are executed on prisoners! I haven’t seen what a torture chamber looks like, hurry and take me there."

Cao Zhen thought for a moment, speaking excitedly.

"Uh... alright, then follow me."

Jiang Feng looked at Cao Zhen’s bright eyes feeling something ominous, but at this moment he could only muster the courage to show Cao Zhen.

Fortunately, each layer of the prison has many torture chambers.

The third layer’s torture chambers have many rooms, and they are not used often; showing Cao Zhen shouldn’t cause any trouble.

A short while later.

Jiang Feng and Cao Zhen walked into a torture chamber that had been cleaned.

Compared to the chambers of the first and second layers, where prisoners are tortured daily, the third layer’s torture chamber has a much lighter scent of blood and is more spacious. Many diverse torture instruments were unused and appeared quite new.

This wasn’t surprising.

As the saying goes, the punishment does not reach officials.

Those imprisoned within the third layer are typically either Royal Family and Relatives, Senior Officials of the Court, or some prominent figures in other domains.

Generally, only those who commit capital crimes or anger the Emperor are subjected to punishment here.

And once punished in the third layer.

It means the individual will have no chance to rise again.

Previously, Yang Qi’s father, Minister of War Yang Rusong, was sent by Dali Temple officials to Zhenbei Prison and was held on the third layer, receiving punishment here. Soon after, his entire family was executed.

Therefore on the third layer, there exists an unspoken rule.

As long as punishment is not executed here, there’s a chance to leave someday.

Once punished, life is in peril.

"Ah, what are these things on the wall, how are they played? This saw looks very peculiar."

"Hey, these whips are sewn with many blades. If whipped on a person, what kind of experience would it be?"

"And this bench looks so strange, is it the legendary Tiger Bench?"

"How is this axe used? Why is there a crack on it? What happens if it chops onto someone?"

Entering the torture chamber, Cao Zhen couldn’t help but ask about the torture instruments.

Picking up each item and studying them.

Jiang Feng, observing his excitement.

Had three words appear in his mind.

Reckless child!

These days, reckless children can cause great harm!

Han Dong entrusting such a person to him, what if trouble arises?

"Prison Chief Jiang, I’m asking you, how is this axe used, why is there a chip in it?"

Cao Zhen noticed Jiang Feng standing there silently for a while, as if he was zoning out, and asked displeased.

"Oh, this axe is called the Bone-breaking Axe, when it hits someone, it can break bones while keeping the flesh intact."

Jiang Feng explained.

"So interesting? I’ve always been wondering how to break a servant’s bones without it looking like they’ve been beaten. Didn’t expect to find such a good tool here, I’ll take it out for some fun when I leave."

Cao Zhen listened with excitement.

"These torture instruments cannot be taken out, nor can they be damaged. You better put it back." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Jiang Feng was startled.

Hurriedly reminded.

The torture instruments in the chamber are documented.

If the instruments go missing, the Prison Chiefs are responsible.

Especially the instruments on the third layer, each is not simple and not to be trifled with.

Even the Bone-Carving Saber Jiang Feng quietly took from the first layer was selected from discarded tools and sneaked out secretly.

"You’re frightened. Fine, I’ll have someone make me one in this style."

Cao Zhen dismissed.

He stood with hands on his hips, looking around the torture instruments, unable to resist exclaiming: "Since they’re all tools of punishment, if there’s no one to test their effects, coming here is meaningless!"
