Perhaps because of the hot weather in Annan, the officials in Annan did not sit in a sedan chair, but leaned on the sliding pole with a lazy look. The signs of the shops on the street are written in Chinese characters, and they can be read clearly without Ruan Ling's translation.

"You know that official, don't you?" Yang Muyun asked.

"Well," Ruan Ling nodded and said, "He is Mang Bo, the general judge of Huazhou, he should go to the state government to be on duty, let's follow behind quietly, won't we find the state government?" ”

....

The Huazhou Prefecture Ya is located in the north of the central street of Huazhou City, and compared with the heavily guarded in other parts of the city, the guards in front of the Huazhou Prefecture Ya appear to be much thinner.

"If what I expected is good," Yang Muyun looked at the gate of the state government and muttered, "The state government prison should be behind the state office." "The architectural style of the Annan Yamen is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, and the layout of the interior should be similar to that of the Ming Local Government Office.

"So how are we supposed to go in and find out?" Ruan Ling saw that he looked very clear, and his confidence in him increased a little.

"There should be a back kitchen in the yamen," Yang Muyun said, "If there is a way to enter the back kitchen, I can take the opportunity to explore inside." As he spoke, he looked at the fish in the basket in the car.

....

Ruan Ling and Ah Lian pushed the cart along the courtyard wall of the state government and shouted all the way forward.

With a "squeak", a side door opened, and a round head poked out.

"Stop, stop!" The man waved his hand and stopped them.

"This man, do you buy fish?" Ruan Lingjiao stepped forward with a smile and asked.

"Hmm......" the man couldn't help but look at her a few more times, "This little girl looks quite smart." After they pushed the cart over, they stretched out a pair of big hands full of oil and poked into the basket and kept looking through it, "When did this fish be caught?" ”

"As soon as the ship docked this morning, we will send it over as soon as possible." Ruan Ling said with a smile.

"Really?" The man looked up at the sky, "Then you can go pretty fast this way." With his hand raised, "Let's all move in!" ”

....

The man was the narcotic manager in charge of purchasing fish, vegetables and vegetables from the state government, and he beckoned Ruan Ling and the three of them to carry a basket of fish into the back kitchen of the state government.

The kitchen is full of knives and shovels, and it is busy.

"Yo, butler, you're back fast enough." A chef quipped to him.

"It is a coincidence," said the thebacle, very proudly, "and as soon as I went out of the side door, I saw a man selling fish...... Look, are these fish enough? ”

The chef looked at it, nodded, and said, "It should be about the same, but there is still a lot of shortage of fruits and vegetables, and I have to bother you to buy more back." ”

"Oh?" The anesthetic steward frowned slightly, "Is it true that so many people will come today?" ”

"I'm talking about old hemp!" The chef glanced at him and said, "Don't you know who is here today?" That's the founding father of our Dayue, the Marquis of Zheng who was named the county marquis, think about it, can he be so small? He snapped his fingers, "The adjutant generals, the generals, and the personal guards around him...... That's all going to come to our state with him, just these few baskets of fish, it's not necessarily enough! Add more fruits and vegetables, it's easy to decorate! ”

"Or do you think carefully......" As the two were talking, Yang Muyun took advantage of people's inattention and quietly slipped out.

The narcotic steward didn't notice that they were missing one person, and threw a bag of coins to Ruan Ling, "Okay, you guys go!" ”

"Master," Ruan Ling carefully counted the copper coins in the bag, raised his head and smiled at the hemp steward, "This money seems to be a little less......"

"Are you too little?" The hemp steward sneered, "It's good that I can help you collect the fish overnight, and you dare to bargain the price here?" He was about to ask someone to blow them out, but seeing Ruan Ling's good looks, the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile, "Little girl, if you can stay with me for one night, I can give you double the fish money." ”

Ruan Ling took a sip, turned around and left.

"Little girl, don't go, wow......" The butler laughed to himself and chased out.

————————————

The cells in Huazhou are no different from those in other prisons in the world, dark and damp, with no daylight. The cell leader here is surnamed Pei, who is about forty-five or sixteen years old, and looks very kind, but when he faces the prisoner, he has the face of a king of Hades.

"If you want to suffer less, take more money." This is the most common sentence that Pei Cell Boss says to every prisoner who is imprisoned, and he has never lost money when it comes to squeezing money. This is the doorway he has found after spending half his life in this gloomy place.

At this moment, Pei Jiaotou was drinking wine leisurely with pickled fish, squinting his eyes at the depths of the cell.

"It's been thirty years......," he sighed, remembering that he was only fifteen or sixteen years old when he first came here, just an ordinary little jailer. At that time, it was still the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire Annan still belonged to the political envoy of the Ming Dynasty. Later, Jiaozhi changed back to Annanguo, but he was still on duty in this prison, but he had already been promoted to the head of the cell, because when the rebels attacked the city, he opened the door of the cell and released the prisoners who opposed the Ming Dynasty inside.

"Whether it's Da Ming or Da Yue, you have to have someone to guard the cell, don't you?" Thinking of this, Pei Jiaotou couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, "At least Daming's awkward official words don't need to be said anymore." With a hand, he drank the wine in his glass. When he put down his glass, there was suddenly one more person in front of him.

The man was masked in a black scarf, and a pair of cold eyes were staring at him for a moment.

Pei Jiao's head trembled, and his hand instinctively touched the waist knife placed on the stool next to him. Before his hand could touch the scabbard, his neck suddenly felt cold, and a cold blade was already on his neck.

"Heroes spare their lives!" He said with a look of horror.

The man was oblivious to his words, dipped a finger in the wine, and began to write on the table.

"You're a cell boss?"

Seeing that he had written these words, Pei Cell nodded his head.

The man saw that he recognized the words, and Sen's cold gaze softened a little.

"Where are the people you arrested yesterday?" The man wrote stroke by stroke, "Two of them are called Ruan Axing, Ruan An!" ”

"Ruan Axing, Ruan An?" Seeing the two names he wrote, Pei Prison shook his head, dipped his finger in wine, and wrote on the table: "These two people are not locked up in prison. ”

A fierce look flashed in the man's eyes, as if he was about to kill, and the hand holding the handle of the knife tightened, Pei Jiaotou only felt a pain in his neck, and he couldn't help but be frightened.

"What I said is true......" I was anxious, and the official words of the Ming Dynasty, which had not been spoken for a long time, blurted out.

"You can actually speak Chinese?" The man said with a surprised look.

"Yes, yes," Pei Jiaotou's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "The little Yongle came in in the fifteenth year, and until the second year of Xuande, all the words in this prison were Ming officials." ”

"Didn't you say it earlier," the man scolded, "that I've written so many words on this table." ”

"Hero, you didn't ask me if I could speak the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty?" Pei Jiaotou was a little aggrieved, and said in his heart No wonder you asked me in your handwriting, it turns out that you don't know how to speak the words of Yue Ren, raised his head and glanced at the other party timidly, and saw that the other party's eyes were sharp, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Let me ask you," the man's tone was cold, "Yesterday, the state government arrested people in Yunjiao Village by the sea, how could they not be in prison?" ”

"Good man," Pei begged bitterly, "From yesterday to now, I have been on duty in this prison, during which the Yali sent a few prisoners, but they are all from Huazhou City, and there is no Yunjiao Village, and there is no one named Ruan Axing or Ruan An in it, I don't believe that the little one will take you to see ......."

"Could it be that there is another place in this state office that is used to hold prisoners?"

"No, no," Pei Cell Boss said with certainty: "As long as it is a prisoner who is arrested quickly by the state government, it must be sent here." If you don't believe it, look at ......," he said, opening a book on the table, "Look, good man, the names of the prisoners in the prison are all on it, and there are no Ruan Ah Xing and Ruan An. ”

The man's gaze followed Pei Jiaotou's page by page, and sure enough, there were no names of Ruan Axing and Ruan An on it.

"If they didn't take them here, then they shouldn't have been caught by the state government." Pei Cell's head forced out a smile and said, "Why don't you take you to check one cell after another?" ”

"No," the man said coldly, "I've already checked it." Staring at him, he continued: "When I come back from prison, you can go and tell you Lord Zhizhou." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," Pei Jiaotou bowed down and said, "The little one will never dare to reveal half a word of you, otherwise you will let the knife in your hand cut off the little one's head." ”

"You're smart," the man snorted, pulling the knife from his neck and throwing it to the ground with a thud. He said sharply: "You must know that it is easy for me to take your head." ”

"Yes, yes......" Pei Jiaotou only felt a chill down his spine, and only nodded yes, and when he raised his head again, the person was gone.

"This person is going so fast," Pei Jiaotou touched his neck, but fortunately it was just a layer of broken skin. "Ahh ”

————————————

"Ah Ling, forget it," Ah Lian advised, "the big thing is important, don't be like that person." ”

"If it weren't for saving my Abba and Brother, this girl would have taught him a good lesson." Ruan Ling glared at the narcotic manager fiercely from afar.

In the distance, the mahler was still looking for her.

Suddenly a figure flashed before their eyes.

"Yang ......" Ah Lian's eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Muyun who appeared beside them silently in disbelief.

"Young Master Yang," Ruan Lingxi said, "Have you seen my Abba and Brother?" ”
