Chapter 169: Re-enter the dungeon
According to Yingzheng's character and his position, he usually doesn't talk about the consequences of these favors, but he actually said it now, probably because he deliberately told me to know what I was doing.
I didn't think about it, but I can't be unclear at this time, and I can't help Lin Jixiang.
"The concubine wants to go to the dungeon and pick up someone." I said it with my eyes closed.
As soon as these words came out, I used up Yingzheng's concession. Seeing that I was determined to use his favor, Yingzheng's voice was still emotionless.
"Who?" He asked.
I can't say it explicitly, I can only play dumb riddles.
"The slave concubine didn't know, and the slave concubine begged the king to allow the slave concubine to go down to the dungeon to mention it herself."
He squinted his eyebrows at me, thoughtful.
"What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"
He looked at me with eagle eyes, and I could only keep my head down to avoid being seen.
Since I am already a scheming person who works behind his back and has a purpose in his heart, and I do have the intention of hiding it from him, then I should continue to play tricks.
"Don't you want to see it?" I asked.
If you want to see it, if you have the courage to watch it, you have to give me time, you have to be patient.
Although I thought that Ying Zheng would disdain to play this trick with me, I could only bet that Ying Zheng was willing to watch it, so I hid my tired face and looked up at his collar calmly.
Ying Zheng looked at me coldly for a while, and smiled coldly.
"Zhao Gao, take the widow's jade plate to Mrs. Xi." He played.
I don't know for what purpose Ying Zheng promised me, but I know that I won the bet this step.
Stepping into the area of the dungeon again, the chill I had experienced was as if it had been yesterday, and I felt a chill that was still clear and bearable.
However, the difference is that the last time I came to be pushed and imprisoned, this time, there were a lot of people who bowed down to greet me.
"See Lady Creek!"
is the one who manages the dungeon.
"Get up." I looked at the person on duty who rushed to greet me when I heard the news, and said, "This palace is ordered by the king. Come to the dungeon to find someone to invite, and the prisoner will lead the way. ”
The gray-robed man at the head had a lot of smiles on his gloomy face.
"I don't know who Mrs. Xi mentioned, so the slave can draw a clear path and follow Mrs. Xi to find it."
I didn't like the gloomy smile on his face that was contrary to the gloomy breath on his face, so I took the opportunity to look behind him, and wanted to change the face of someone to help, but I happened to see a very familiar figure in it.
I was overjoyed and asked, "Is that you?" Raise your head and show Hongu - what's your name? ”
This person is the same person who received my pearl and brought me clean rice when I was in prison.
"Slave Su Ji."
It wasn't unexpectedly that the person who came to him was me, and he already knew it in advance. Hearing my questioning, he turned away from the group. Bow down to answer me.
"Su Ji?" I secretly remember the name in my heart.
Luo Onion said. If it weren't for the fact that Su Ji saw that I was eating abnormally and didn't patrol in the middle, he paid extra attention to come and see me. I was dead.
Gratitude flashed, and I said aloud: "Good name, this palace has written it down." Hongu was in a state of ill when he was trapped in the dungeon, if you hadn't called for foreign help in time. I think this palace has no life to talk to you here, and in other words, you can be regarded as the life-saving benefactor of this palace. ”
Su Ji was shocked, and he bowed his head and humbled.
"The minions don't dare."
I smiled at him and turned my head to Luo Cong and ordered, "Luo Cong, heavy reward!" ”
Luo Onion owes his body to receive his life.
I looked back and said to the gloomy face of the leader: "This palace has no goal here, I just want to go into the dungeon to have a look, so let Su Ji go with this palace." ”
The gray robe did not dare to question it. Obediently agreed.
"Whoa!" As he spoke, he led the people out of the way.
I smiled at Su Ji again, which was my greeting to him.
The dungeon was as dark as ever, and because it was cold, the musty smell was slightly lighter than before, but the temperature was a bit biting. Thinking about Lin Jixiang's pampered and white appearance. I pretended to have no purpose, and I couldn't help but speed up a lot.
Su Ji didn't know what kind of person I was going to mention, but after being sensible in the palace for a long time, he didn't ask, just walked a few steps in advance at the doorrail of each interval to open the door for me, and then quietly followed behind me.
"What is the standard of the area?" I asked, pretending to be curious.
Lin Jixiang said that he was turning eighteen, and I wanted to know where it was.
When Su Ji heard the question, he was humble.
"Mrs. Huixi, most of the prisons in Xianyang City are consistent with the pattern of Yunyang National Prison, and there are heavy and light prisons, and there are diversion lines during the period..."
I didn't pay attention to what Su Ji said, and when I heard him say that there was a concept of "turning", I waited for him to finish explaining what he was going to explain, and then asked the next question that I knew in my heart.
Finally, when Su Ji finished explaining, I nodded pretending to understand, praised his detailed explanation, and asked, "The area we are in is the people with lofty ideals who marched to protest against Qin Chu's war a few days ago, right?" ”
The people who can protest against the atrocities of Yingzheng must not be ordinary white-eyed people who can eat three meals a day, but must be people who have strong opinions in their minds and talented people in their stomachs who participate in state affairs.
"Whether there are people with lofty ideals and slaves dare not speak falsely, but they are all street walkers." Su Ji replied rigorously.
I said that the people who marched were people with lofty ideals, and Su Ji was not easy to refute, but the people who had been arrested and put in prison could not be said to be good people, so he just replied that they were all street soldiers.
I don't want to dwell on this issue anymore.
"What time are we in this circle?"
The layout of the prison seems to me to be the same, the aisles are narrow and dark, and it is impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south.
"Mrs. Huixi, when Madame first came in, she was from the thirty-third turn, and now we are going to the eighth turn."
As soon as I asked Su Ji and answered, there was no much to say or flattery, I said that he saved my life, and he was so calm, which made people feel very good.
"Oh, it seems that this turn and the second turn are not connected together." I rambled, my eyes wandering over the prisoners.
Su Ji can't refute my words, but he can't insult the facts.
"It's connected, but we're walking across the road." Su Ji said, and explained for me the location of each turn in the prison.
Secretly calculating the general direction of the eighteenth turn, I went around two more times, and felt that the foreplay was almost done, and walked towards the eighteenth turn without leaking.
Walking through the prisons one by one, looking at all the faces, I finally saw Lin Jixiang.
Lin Jixiang's gray and white ragged clothes stained with dust and blood stains can vaguely be seen in the original white, at this time his skin and flesh are not wrapped, dirty, hands and feet are flailed, and the wolf is unbearable, but compared to the people in the same prison, he is still unique and magnificent, so he immediately attracted my attention, and it should not be an unreasonable thing in the eyes of outsiders.
