Chapter 238: The Disaster of the Yi People

This jailer's name is Xiao Hu, and he was originally a team leader in the forbidden army Yulin Guard.

In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Praetorian Guard, the imperial court has maintained the tradition of transferring the Praetorian Guard to participate in the battle in turn, this Xiao Hu killed a general of the other side when fighting with the Di people in the north, made great contributions, and had the opportunity to be promoted, but unfortunately the injury was too serious, and after he recovered from his injuries, he could no longer serve in the army, so he was transferred to this secluded prison and became a prison officer.

Tian Qiniang still takes good care of her descendants, and tries her best to avoid their worries, so that they can be loyal to herself.

Although everyone knows that once they are arrested, it will be the end of their lives, but in order to make their relatives less abused, their families will still willingly go up and down, so the prison officials who work here earn quite a lot of money.

However, for a soldier who is expected to become a general, a glorious ancestor, and a lintel of the light gate, arriving here means that his life can only stop here, and Xiao Hu, who has been hit by this, has always been silent in prison, and even his close jailers and servants are a little afraid of him.

Cooking is being done in the dining room, there is a kitchen on the left and right, and the smoke is billowing in the kitchen, although the firewood is stored under the shed, but because of the downpour, the firewood is damp, and there is a thick smoke, and several cooks who are cooking are constantly coughing.

The kitchen on the left is a meal prepared for the jailers and jailers, although it is also a large pot dish, not exquisite. However, the dishes are still very generous. The kitchen on the right is a meal prepared for the prisoners, three large pots, all of which are gruel made from aged rice. Throw some vegetables in it, and this time you can even have vegetables and rice and water.

Xiao Hu stood at the door of the kitchen and glanced inside, and shouted: Zhang Dazhuang!

In the kitchen, a master with a big waist and a round waist and a full face was holding a thick wooden stick and stirring it in the rice pot, when he heard someone calling him, he hurriedly threw the stick, grabbed the sweat towel on his shoulder and wiped the sweat on his face, and rushed to the door. Seeing Xiao Hu, he nodded hurriedly and said: Boss, do you have any instructions?

Xiao Hu stiffened his coffin face. Said: A female prisoner was just arrested, and she hasn't had time to inform her family, no one will deliver food today, and it will be time to deliver prison food later. Remember to prepare an extra basin!

Okay! Don't worry, the boss!

The two of them spoke. Under the corridor opposite the kitchen, the two deacons quietly came together, glanced over the thin rain curtain, whispered a few words, and then staggered shoulders, in the wind and rain, this qiē faintly revealed a strange atmosphere, indicating that this was not Ansheng's night......

……

Bang Dang! Bang. The cell door opened, and Xiao Hu carried the key in his hand. Limping in, there were eight cells in this cell, and they were all close to the cronies of the high-ranking officials who committed crimes, and their families were all out of town, and no one brought food, so they could only be provided with food from the prison.

There was an oil lamp hanging at intervals above the passage in the middle of the cell, a total of three lamps, and as soon as the cell door opened, the miserable wind and rain rushed into the door, and the lamp was crumbling in the wind and rain, reflecting Xiao Hu's face.

Four jailers walked in with a large bucket of vegetable porridge and stopped at the door of the first cell, followed by a few men who had made a move, some took out one from the bucket containing the rice bowl, and the other took out a scoop of vegetable porridge from the porridge bucket, poured it into the rice bowl, and handed it to Zhang Dazhuang, who walked to the cell door and stuffed the rice bowl into the rice door.

Soon, the porridge was delivered to all eight cells, and the iron door slammed shut, re-locked, and ran to the next cell. Recently, Taiwan prisons have been overcrowded, and these people who cook and deliver food are also very hard......

When Sun Huahua, the commander of the Imperial Guard, was taken to Taiwan, the cell was already full, and he was held in a temporary cell against the wall of the West Wing, which was originally a place to store coal, and was built with a brick wall, not separated by thick wooden pillars like the formal cells, and the gap in the middle could clearly see the inside of the qiē.

The cell is not big, there are no windows and vents, there is no light inside, it is black and rumbling, because the door is not a regular cell door, there is no food door to pass things in, there is a spare torch inserted in the wall outside the cell door, someone lit the torch, Xiao Hu opened the door, the deacon with the torch bent over, the first to enter the cell.

Sun Huahua was tied to a pillar in the middle, because this cell was not a formal cell, and people outside could not see the situation inside without opening the door, and if they entered rashly, they were afraid of being attacked by prisoners, so the prisoners inside could not move freely, and they were all tied to the pillar.

A bowl of vegetable porridge came out, Xiao Hu glanced at Sun Huahua tied to the pillar, Sun Huahua hurriedly smiled at him flatteringly, and begged: Big brother, I want to make it easier!

Xiao Hu asked with a straight face: Big or small?

Small!

Then untie it in your pants! Xiao Hu replied impatiently and said to Zhang Dazhuang: Hurry up!

Zhang Dazhuang didn't say a word, picked up the vegetable pot and put it on Sun Huahua's mouth, and a pot of vegetable porridge fell down.

Sun Huahua hurriedly opened her mouth and tried to swallow it, whether it was porridge or vegetables, she didn't care about chewing at all, she just swallowed it in a big gulp, and Rao was so almost unable to keep up with Zhang Dazhuang's speed.

After drinking a pot of porridge, Sun Huahua's face was already red, panting, Xiao Hu turned around, the cell door slammed shut again, and the room was suddenly dark.

The next room is where Yao'er is held, Xiao Hu walked to the cell, took out the key to open the door, the cell door opened, and the deacon, who was holding a torch, walked in first.

This cell was built according to the terrain, with its back against the wall, and was originally used to store all kinds of materials from the Imperial Tower, and the cell where Yao'er was located also had no windows, and the cell was pitch black, and her cell was much more comfortable than the cell where Sun Huahua was.

This house is more regular, twice as spacious as the cell where Sun Huahua is, and the lifting frame is relatively high, so you don't have to bend down when you go in, this house was originally used to store paper, ink, pen and inkstone and various office utensils, so it is very clean inside, and everything has not been cleaned up. There is also a wooden shelf on the wall, and some papers are scattered on the ground.

Yao'er was in the darkness and was thinking hard about how to get out of trouble.

She knew that she was bitten, and who could be the one who had bitten her? Yao'er thought about it. Soon thought of Sun Huahua, Sun Huahua was already at odds with her, and she was jealous after seeing her enter the Jixia School Palace, and now she was caught in Taiwan Prison and bit herself to vent her personal hatred, which is very likely.

Thinking of this, Yao'er settled down a little. Sun Huahua did not have much contact with her, and once she was interrogated and confronted, it was impossible to say any strong evidence. She used to be a hundred horsemen of the internal guard, this is the king's most trusted guard, and the Jixia School Palace is the king's think tank, so she must be more cautious in the trial. Again. She has quite a large network of contacts. Needless to say, once Changle Hou and Mu Shangxuan knew her situation, they would probably not stand idly by.

So she is still more optimistic about getting out of trouble, yes, as soon as she enters the Soul Breaking Gate, it is a situation of nine deaths and a lifetime, but there are exceptions after all, and she did not participate in the rebellion. Even if Sun Huahua bit her, once she was confronted and interrogated. It is bound to be full of loopholes.

Even if there is a struggle between the various factions in the court, with her current small status, she should not enter the eyes of those big people and become the object of their eradiation, in the face of such a trial result, I believe that the people of Yushitai will not risk offending people like Mu Shangxuan and Changle Hou and will kill her.

She would never have thought at this time that Yu Shitai would indeed not put her to death, but had another ulterior motive.

The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and it began to rain again in the morning.

Jun Xiachen did not take an ox cart today, but changed to a sedan chair and rushed to Taiwan Prison early in the morning.

The gate of the prison has been opened, Wei Suizhong was about to walk into the gate with an umbrella, he inadvertently turned his head, and suddenly saw a car sedan coming from afar, followed by several saber guards in front of the car, Wei Suizhong hurriedly stopped, and when the car drove to the door, the groom got out of the car and put the pedals, and the guard next to him just took off the umbrella from the saddle and did not open it, Wei Suizhong rushed over with an arrow.

The guards on the palace of Jun Xia Chen all recognized him, naturally no one stopped him, Jun Xia Chen opened the car curtain, just got out of the carriage, Wei Suizhong quickly stood on tiptoe, stretched out his arm, put the umbrella on Jun Xia Chen's head, and said diligently: Zhong Cheng is diligent in official business, and it is really early!

Oh, it's Suizhong!

Seeing that it was him, Jun Xiachen nodded with a smile, and stepped off the pedal, Wei Suizhong followed behind his ass step by step, letting the rain wet his clothes, and only firmly protected Jun Xiachen.

As he strolled along, he asked pointedly, "...... this morning?" Nothing, right?

Wei Suizhong took a small step, and said with a smile: The humble post is only one step earlier than Zhongcheng, and before he entered the yamen, he saw Zhongcheng arrive, and hurried to greet you.

Jun Xiachen snorted and said: A heavy rain last night will inevitably affect the patrol and defense of Taiwan Prison, let's check the prisoner early today, don't have any accidents!

According to the regulations, the prisoners are checked every day according to the roster to ensure that the detainees are correct. However, although the time requirement is to be carried out early in the morning, in fact, it is carried out at any time, it all depends on the personal intention of the officer, and sometimes even forget to check the prisoners for several days without anyone paying attention.

Wei Suizhong took great pains to check the important prisoners who were locked in the formal cells, hastily named them, and then left the cells, went to the row of temporary cells in the west wing, and checked them one by one.

Xiao Hu seemed to have no expression forever, he opened one prison door after another, and locked one by one, a military general who once commanded the battlefield, this is his daily work.

The cell door where Sun Huahua was held opened, and the two saber guards bent down and walked in, Wei Suizhong stood at the door casually, a pair of eyes were already fixed on Yao'er's cell door, and he moved his facial muscles slightly.

Oh no! Wei Yushi, the prisoner is dead!

One of the deacons ran out in a panic, straightened up before he could get out of the doorway, and slammed his head against the doorframe at once, knocking his head crooked.

Wei Suizhong was stunned for a moment, and at this time, the expression on his face was absolutely stunned, almost subconsciously, he wanted to turn his head to look at the cell where Yao'er was held, his mind only moved, and he twisted his neck stiffly, and repeated: Prisoner ...... He's dead?

The deacon rubbed his head with his teeth cracked, nodded and said, "Yes!" The prisoner is dead!

At this time, another deacon also came out of it, and Wei Suizhong blurted out: Who is locked up in this cell?

The deacon who had just come out replied: This cell is locked up by Sun Huahua, the commander of the pilot!

Wei Suizhong pushed the two of them away, bent down and got into the cell, the door was open, and during the day, by the light of the door, the inside could still be seen very clearly, Wei Suizhong walked in, and saw a person tied to a pillar, his head drooping slightly, and he was wearing a set of military uniforms.

Wei Suizhong couldn't help but gasp when he saw the person's appearance, the dead person was indeed Sun Huahua, although his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth were bloodshot, and his face was a little distorted, as hideous as a ghost, but Wei Suizhong would not mistake one person for another.

He had already died, his body was already hard, Wei Suizhong held his chin, feeling that his skin was cold, Wei Suizhong withdrew his hand hatefully, turned around and walked out of the cell, his face was very ugly and said: ...... No, notify the ......, report to Zhongcheng immediately!

There's a dead person here, and he'll be able to continue investigating the next cell as if nothing happened? It was supposed to be called Mischief, but Wei Suizhong didn't know what Jun Xia Chen meant, so he temporarily changed his words and told them to report to Jun Xia Chen first. After a while, Jun Xiachen, who was sitting in the signing room and was waiting for his good life, went into the cell, and after a while, he came out again and calmly said to Wei Suizhong: Continue to check the other prisoners!

Be!

Wei Suizhong agreed, and said to Xiao Hu: Open the prison door!

Even if someone died in the prison, Xiao Hu's face did not change, it was still the same very wooden coffin face, he opened Yao'er's prison door, Wei Suizhong pushed away the two deacons and rushed in.

As soon as the door opened, the light penetrated, Yao'er couldn't help but squint her eyes, fortunately, it was cloudy today, the light was not bright, and in a moment she saw the person standing in front of her, Wei Suizhong stared at Yao'er, his face was cloudy, Yao'er was also watching him, shouting outside, through a portal, how could she not hear what was being said.

Originally, the death of someone in the prison was not a big deal, whether it was because of illness or abuse of prisoners, it was common for people to die unexpectedly, Yao'er didn't take this matter to heart, but when she saw Wei Suizhong's eyes, a sense of danger arose, this expression, this gaze, something was wrong!

Wei Suizhong only looked at her for a moment, then rolled out as soon as he turned around, slammed the door shut, and said: The prisoner is fine, lock it, check the next room! (To be continued......)
