Just after noon, a dark cloud suddenly flew into Ningdu, which was originally sunny, and the sky began to darken slowly, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the rain fell tricklingly.

Lin Chong stood on the second floor of the Yuelai Restaurant opposite the chicken that Yunyan was gnawing on the street, his eyes looking intently in the direction of the Xu Mansion, as if he was waiting for something.

"This rain is a bit out of time." He sighed, as if a little melancholy.

"Big brother." A voice came from behind him.

Lin Chong turned around and saw that the person who came was Lin Fuhang, his head was still wet from the rain, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"You're here, let's go and wipe your face first." Lin Chong looked at him like this and said with concern.

"It's okay, big brother, I'm going back soon, or I'll be suspected." Lin Fuhang said.

"How? Did Xu Changsha trust you? Who is the woman who popped up out of nowhere? Lin Chong asked.

"Big brother, you may not believe it when you say it. That woman is from the Zhai family, and she is still ...... The one's valet of the other. Lin Fuhang said.

"You...... It is said that the ...... of the Great Xia Palace That one? Lin Chong couldn't help but be surprised, there seemed to be no one else who could get the close protection of the women of the Zhai family except for Emperor Xuanyuanding.

Seeing that Lin Fuhang nodded, he asked again: "I'm far away and can't see clearly, is the other man the emperor?" ”

"It doesn't look like it, if it's the emperor, how can he let go of the supremacy in his heart and want to carry a maid?" Lin Fuhang shook his head and said. "But what is certain is that man's status in the palace should not be low, maybe he is the leader of their Baolong clan."

Lin Chong said to himself again, and guessed in his heart, "Did they find something when they approached Xu Changsha?" The emperor finally couldn't sit still, is he going to make a move? ”

"Big brother, do you think the emperor will already know that Xu Changsha is the commander of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow?" Lin Fuhang guessed.

"Maybe he's got some news. Qin Zhiwei hid Xu Changsha's identity so deeply! If it weren't for the last time I went back to the Great Xia Dragon Bird Yamen and found that Luo Min had sneaked to the Ling Pavilion, I wouldn't have been able to know the true identity of the commander. ”

"Big brother, do you think Xu Changsha will be a mist array deliberately released by Qin Zhiwei and Luo Min? I followed Xu Changsha for several days, and in addition to being busy with the affairs of those homeless people every day, he was fiddling with the affairs of businessmen! There was nothing at all about what the Lord of the Dragon Order should be, and he didn't seem to care about the situation in Ningdu at all! ”

"What's the hurry?" Lin Chong's gaze deepened, and he muttered to him again: "For Qin Zhiwei, the mission of their Heavenly Dragon Division in this life is to find the Lord of the Dragon Order!" If she hadn't found the Lord of the Dragon Order, she wouldn't have informed us of the Seventh Division! As for whether the master of this dragon order is Xu Changsha or not, it doesn't matter anymore. ”

"Okay, big brother, I know! Then if there is nothing else, I will go back to Xufu first. ”

"By the way, that woman from the Zhai family was poisoned by the Nine Shadows Palace, and she still has to save it!" Lin Chong suddenly thought of something and stopped him.

"I've been fed the Chong Ling Pill, and most of the medicinal power has been dissolved, so I should be able to wake up tomorrow."

At this moment, a rush of footsteps went upstairs, and when the two of them looked, a man wearing a bright red soapman's uniform came up at the staircase, he seemed to be a little anxious, and when he saw Lin Chong, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Siwei, something happened in prison......

In Ningdu, there are three most powerful yamen, namely the City Patrol Division, the Prison Division and the Ming Tower.

Minglou is not so much a yamen in Great Xia as a killer organization.

As early as when the Ming family settled in Ningdu, in addition to the various families and magnates who entered the water with them and did not violate the river water, there were still many ministers who had their hearts set on the royal family and often confronted the Ming family.

In order to eradicate these ministers, Ming Shiyin went to Emperor Xuanyuan Han to set up the "Great Xia Supervisor Building", nominally to supervise hundreds of officials for Great Xia and punish corrupt officials, but in fact, it was specifically to collect evidence of the crimes of these ministers who opposed him.

Xuanyuan Han was cowardly and incompetent, so he could only be at the mercy of Ming Shiyin and agreed to the establishment of this institution.

However, the Great Xia Supervisor Mansion was not what he wrote in the chapter, but instead became a tool for the Ming clan to eliminate dissent.

If conclusive evidence can be produced, the emperor will be dismissed or imprisoned. If it was those officials who didn't have any stain in the first place, they would order the people of the Great Xia Prison Mansion to carry out the assassination mission.

Until now, the Great Xia Supervisor Building has grown stronger and stronger, and it is dedicated to serving the Ming family, and it is gradually called the Ming Building by others.

Now in charge of Minglou is Mingxiao, the fifth son of Mingheng.

Speaking of Mingxiao, the people in Ningdu are all changed when they hear it, and the rumored Mingxiao is a demon who kills without blinking, is cruel, ruthless, and very lustful. Because he lives in the dark all year round, even if he assassinates someone, he is wearing a silver mask, and no one knows what kind of face is under this silver mask.

The Yamen of the Warden Prison Division is located in a remote place in Xuanwu City, the plaque of the Yamen is the three big black characters of "Warden Prison Division", and there is a huge stone lion lying on the left and right sides of the main gate, which looks very solemn and solemn.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and from the corner came a carriage, drawn by a pure white steed, and the groom had a fierce face, and his left hand grasped the horse, but the sleeve of his right hand was empty.

"Phew!" The horseman reined in the white horse and stopped at the gate of the warden's yamen.

"Your Highness! It's here! He picked up an umbrella, opened it, and waited.

From the carriage stepped a man in a silver mask, wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with a fierce dragon.

When the people from the prison department saw this man, they hurriedly greeted him, and knelt down in unison: "The villain knocks on the Fifth Highness!" Lord Siwei has been waiting for His Highness for a long time. ”

This silver-masked man is the controller of Minglou and Mingheng's fifth son, Mingxiao.

"Lead the way." A hoarse, somber voice came from under the mask.

The warden's yamen is mainly a place where prisoners are held, and ordinary prisoners are detained in the Sicheng government office, and only serious offenders or special prisoners will be transferred to the warden's department.

After entering from the main entrance, it is the main hall, the main hall is paved with a black stone floor, and four large pillars support the main hall, each pillar is engraved with chaos, Qiqi, Han Zhu and gluttonous four fierce beasts, carved vividly, the eyes of the fierce beasts gather at the temple gate, as long as the people who enter this hall will have a feeling of being stared at by the four fierce beasts, whether it is a person with a clear conscience or a person who is extremely guilty, there will be a feeling of infiltration.

After entering from the main hall, go around to the back to the prison distribution platform, which has steps up and down, up to the prison and down to the prison.

The cells in prison were very clean, and after the prisoners were escorted to the warden, as long as they were not unforgivable or very serious prisoners, they could be assigned to the prison as long as they were not guilty of unforgivable or very serious crimes.

A prisoner in prison can eat well, sleep well, and not be punished, which is not much different from happiness, and as long as you have enough money, even women can provide it to you.

There is a huge difference between going to prison and going to prison, the cells are damp, rats and insects are everywhere, not to mention that they have to endure three lashes a day, and many prisoners do not survive to the day they are released from prison.

Lin Chong was sitting in the main hall, and when he saw that his subordinates had brought Mingxiao over, he got up and bowed.

"Captain Lin, what's going on?" Mingxiao's voice asked without a trace of emotion.

"Fifth Highness, Yue Qiong is dead."

The momentum on Mingxiao's body suddenly changed, and when he stepped forward, a chill hit Lin Chong, "How did you die?" ”

Lin Chong glanced at the people around him, and the soldiers of the Warden Department stepped forward with a wooden plate, on which was placed a dagger the size of a thumb, and there was a trace of blood on the dagger.

"Suicide." Lin Chong opened his mouth and said.

"Humph!" Mingxiao snorted coldly, seemingly very angry, and then strode towards the prison separation platform.

Lin Chong followed, and Mingxiao stepped on the steps to the prison, shaking up a layer of dust.

The prison is built underground, and it is damp and dark, and countless torches are lit to illuminate the entire prison.

They came to the deepest prison, and there were two soldiers of the prison department standing at the door, and inside was a man with four large iron chains in his cape, but the man put his head together and did not move at all, and a bright red blood flower on the chest of the white prison uniform was unusually bright.

Mingxiao walked into the cell, looked at the man, and then said, "Captain Lin, your limbs are locked, and you can't stab yourself in the heart with a dagger in your hand!" You told me he committed suicide? ”

"Your Highness, my prison guard is very guarded, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to sneak in and kill him. When he died, he was face down, and the dagger was standing on the ground, and he should have crashed into the dagger in his heart and committed suicide! Lin Chong explained.

"I don't care how he died, your prison department must give me an explanation for this matter, and give an explanation to the Yue family!" Mingxiao said gloomily and walked out of the cell.

"Your Highness! Please stay! Lin Chong stopped him, and then said: "I will definitely find out about this matter, but before I find out, I also ask His Royal Highness to hand over the "Pingjing Book", and I need to find the answer to some of the things involved in the "Pingjing Book"!" ”

Mingxiao turned his head, and the eyes under the silver mask shot a sharp light, and he only heard a cold voice through the mask, "Are you teaching Prince Ben to do things?" ”

"If His Highness doesn't hand over the Pingjing Book, then Yue Qiong's death, my Warden will not pay attention to it anymore!" Lin Chong met his gaze uncompromisingly.

"Are you threatening Prince Ben?"

"Your Highness can think so!"

"Good! Good! Good! Mingxiao said three good words in a row, and then said: "If you want "Pingjing Book", you can come to Minglou to get it yourself!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness! Another day, Lin Chong will definitely go to Minglou to get it in person! ”

"Humph!" Mingxiao turned around and left with his sleeves brushed up, seemingly very displeased.
