Chapter 1255: Testing
Cao Xiaochun did not refuse Han Yue's invitation, but before the welcoming banquet began, he still wanted to test whether this Ice Crystal Goddess was still the city lord of the Central Universe.
"There is no rush for the welcoming banquet. It's not evening yet, is it?"
"I finally came here. I wonder if the city lord is willing to take me around?"
Han Yue frowned when she said this. Sure enough, Cao Xiaochun's coming here was not a good thing. However, thinking carefully about what she had done in the past, she didn't have any big problems. Therefore, she was not afraid of Cao Xiaochun finding fault.
"Of course. Although Bingjing City is located in a remote area, the scenery is still quite good. I don't know what you like, Han Yue will arrange it for you."
"You don't need to talk about the scenery. I have a special identity, so I am only interested in things in the industry. I thought about it, how about we go to the prison in Bingjing City?"
"I have heard that the laws in Bingjing City are extremely strict. Anyone who breaks the law will be punished, so I also want to know how the prison here treats people and whether the people inside will really change their ways."
The smile on Cao Xiaochun's face became more and more obvious. Since Han Yue could turn a blind eye to the kidnapping of living beings in Hanyue Tower, it proved that she acquiesced to such things.
But apart from such sources, the most easily buried place for missing people in Bingjing City is the prison. Those prisoners who have committed crimes are not paid much attention to themselves. No one will care if there are fewer people.
As soon as these words came out, Han Yue's pupils shrank, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
It was just as Cao Xiaochun guessed. She really regarded the prison as her own private property. When the prison population reached a certain level, she would find some gifted prisoners in it and use them for her own use. She would also sell some prisoners to others as part of her source of income.
Cao Xiaochun had just come here and pointed out this place. Could it be that the other party had mastered something?
Before Han Yue could continue to speak, Cao Xiaochun had already led Luoshen and several women out of the door.
"Lord City Lord, please lead the way."
Looking at Cao Xiaochun's back, Han Yue sighed heavily.
The Howling Prison is located in the north of Bingjing City. The entire prison was built by hollowing out a mountain. It is divided into eight floors. Every time you go up, the cold becomes stronger.
The prisoners who enter here are all sealed in their cultivation and tortured by the cold all the time.
Because of the ban, the temperature here is much lower than other places in the city, almost reaching the point where the breath turns into ice.
According to the rules, Cao Xiaochun's current "cultivation" is impossible to come here, after all, he can't bear such low temperatures.
As a barrier rose beside Cao Xiaochun, Han Yue followed him silently and introduced everything inside, but at this moment, she was obviously absent-minded.
Because they had just arrived at the prison, Cao Xiaochun sent the three women of Luoshen to check the accounts of the prisoners in the prison, and she herself had to stay by his side and introduce everything inside.
"So, the eighth floor of the prison is for the God Emperor level strongman?"
Ignoring the wailing coming from the prison, Cao Xiaochun looked at everything inside with interest and kept asking Han Yue.
"Yes, the eighth floor is specially designed, called the Death Prison, with extremely high standards of defense. Even if the God Emperor strongman has not been sealed, it is not an easy thing to get out of it."
Han Yue's face was gloomy and she said slowly.
"The number of God Emperors should not be large, so they should all be recorded, right?"
"Through the main control console below, we should be able to see everything on the eighth floor, so how about we count the number?"
Since entering, Cao Xiaochun has been observing Han Yue's expression changes. When he mentioned the eighth floor, he found a trace of panic in Han Yue's eyes, so Cao Xiaochun directly tried it out and found that he was right. There must be something fishy there.
"Lord City Lord, continue to lead the way?"
Cao Xiaochun smiled slightly, then looked at Han Yue who stopped, and said playfully.
"Lord Lu, can we talk?"
Han Yue closed her eyes and exhaled heavily. At this point, she knew in her heart that Cao Xiaochun came with evidence, otherwise he would not have locked his eyes on the prison so accurately. Now the investigation is just to let her see with her own eyes that the matter is exposed.
To be honest, she had the intention to kill Cao Xiaochun just now. After all, as a semi-saint-level strongman, she was actually controlled by an ant that could be easily crushed to death. This feeling made Han Yue feel extremely aggrieved.
But Han Yue quickly let go of this thought. She knew what would happen to her if Cao Xiaochun died here. Even if she defected to the Gods Alliance, she would not be able to live safely. As a supporter of Tuoba Mingyue, Han Yue knew very well the methods of this empress.
Therefore, Han Yue can only try to negotiate with Cao Xiaochun now, even if it costs some price.
"Of course, it's good to speak freely. Although some special powers of the Supervisory Guard may make the city lord a little uncomfortable, rules are rules. As a person who enforces the rules, I am still very kind and don't want to offend people, so you don't have to be so restrained."
Cao Xiaochun said with a smile.
"Lord Lu, to be honest, a God Emperor is considered a powerful person no matter where he is. He can easily control a force. Therefore, it would be a waste to simply imprison such a person. No matter why these people entered here before, their strength is there."
"So, in line with the principle of making the best use of things, I made a decision, that is, to restrict their freedom and let them use their cultivation to work for the Order Dynasty."
"I did not report this matter to the empress in time, please understand."
Han Yue said sincerely, her approach was not wrong, and it was also one of the tacit unspoken rules. Could it be that she would leave these high-powered people unused and spend a lot of energy to manage these people?
"So, there is no one on the eighth floor of the prison, right?"
Hearing Han Yue's words, Cao Xiaochun smiled and was not surprised. What Han Yue said had nothing to do with him. As long as none of these people disappeared mysteriously, how the other party used people was her own business, and Tuoba Mingyue would not blame her for such things.
"However, Lord City Lord, are only people at the level of God Emperors privileged in this prison?"
"Some things I think you'd better talk about now. I can also give you a message. Within seven days, the God Queen will personally come to Ice Crystal City."
"She is not as easy to talk to as I am, so you have to think it through now."
Cao Xiaochun raised his eyebrows, with a playful tone.
