"What are you yelling about, what are you yelling at, you should be in your back garden!" The two jailers rushed in and slammed the door with their scabbards, knocking the dust off the bars.

Qin Mubai was about to say a few words to Chen Yan when he was interrupted for a while. The cell where Chen Yan was located was far away, and it was dark and dark in the cell that she couldn't see her face clearly.

It's just that voice, I will never admit my mistake!

"To be honest, you are not allowed to talk to each other in the cell, otherwise it will not taste good to be dragged to an iron cell and held alone!" The jailer roared a few words at Qin Mubai and Li Ke, spat a few times hatefully, and left with a curse.

Qin Mubai and Li Ke exchanged a look, and each of them spread out and sat down, and Chen Yan on the other side did not say anything more.

The two of them understood, and each walked up to the other prisoners in his cell and asked questions.

"Brother, looking at your situation, you must have been locked up in it for a long time, right?" Qin Mubai asked an unkempt, skinny prisoner sitting in the corner.

The prisoner didn't move, he glanced at Qin Mubai like a dead fish and his eyes were as cold as ice, and he didn't say a word.

Qin Mubai pondered for a while, and then said: "I have friends in the yamen, if my friends come to see me later, I can ask him to tell the prisoner, let him treat you well, and get you some delicious food." Talk to me if you want. ”

"Say." The prisoner came to his senses, licked his dry lips, and whispered hoarsely.

"How did you get caught here, and how long have you been locked up here?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Last autumn, there was a haunt on the Xihe side and scuttled several official boats that paid grain taxes. I greedily picked up a few bags of food and came back, and I was arrested as a water ghost. The prisoner said, "Most of the people in this cell are related to water spirits. Isn't that how you came in? ”

Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows in surprise: "The dozens of people in this cell are all related to the water ghost case?" ”

"Yes. But I promise, none of them are real water ghosts. The prisoner said.

"Why?" Qin Mubai asked in surprise.

"Humph!" The prisoner sneered, "Because the real water ghosts they either can't catch them, or they don't want to catch them." I had to arrest some innocent people and come in to confess the crime. He was imprisoned for a few months and a half and was released before the fall and then in the synagogue. ”

"Caught and released?" Qin Mubai said in confusion, "Why are they doing this?" ”

"It's easy! Xiangzhou has been haunted by water ghosts for so many years, and no thorn history can be cleaned. But you can't help but suppress it. If you can't catch the water ghosts, you can just grab some people and put them in the cell, if you can bend them into a trick, it's the best; If you can't, then it's okay to be caught by mistake and let go. Anyway, the officials above checked it out, and they also did things and didn't eat in vain, did they? The prisoner cursed in a low voice with some indignation, "The dog officers are used to doing this!" Whoever is unlucky will be caught as a water ghost. We locals know that if we come in, we will not be able to get out alive; If the torture is only tortured, then it will really be stabbed after the autumn. Young man, I see that you are also a child of a rich and noble family, but don't be unbearable - well, that's all I have to say, and get me a fat chicken and a pot of good wine in a moment! ”

"That's easy to say." Qin Mubai paused for a moment, and then asked, "The woman locked in the innermost room is the one who talked to us just now, do you know?" ”

"Yes, yes! Who doesn't know her, she is famous, and it is said that she is a real water ghost! The prisoner was still a little nervous, and said in a low voice with some fear, "Listening to the prisoners' scolding, this woman killed more than a dozen people in one breath on the river, and the whole river was about to be dyed red. If it weren't for the state capital's yamen, it took a lot of effort to catch her. Ouch, when she was caught in, she was a madman, with a black cloth bag on her head, five flowers tied up and bleeding all over, and three or five men caught her, and it took a lot of effort. It is said that this female water ghost has the ability to reach the sky, and she is as sharp as killing chickens! The prisoners call her the Devil and the Yaksha! ”

Qin Mubai was a little blocked in his heart when he heard this-Chen Yan is a water ghost in the West River Channel, wouldn't it?!

"Why hasn't the felons of such an important case been transferred to the Chang'an Criminal Department for conviction and beheading?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Then how do I know, I'm not an official!" The prisoner said, "Maybe it's because the new governor hasn't taken office yet...... Okay, don't ask me so much, that's all I know. Remember, a chicken, a pot of good wine, and a stewed lamb tripe......"

After asking, Qin Mubai returned to the position near the prison before and communicated with Li Ke. The news that the two of them heard was probably about the same.

"In this way, the yamen of Xiangzhou Prefecture has been accustomed to inaction and prevarication for many years." Li Ke said with some anger, "It's really strange, in such a peaceful and prosperous world, there are such vicious bandits who gather and run rampant!" ”

"It is inevitable that the forest of a forest will be uneven, and the sea and rivers will be muddy and sandy, and there is nothing strange about it." Qin Mubai twisted his brows and said, "The water ghost in the West River Channel is so unsightly that it must be exterminated; Until then, we have more to do. ”

"Not bad. The generals in Xiangzhou are so corrupt and incompetent, which is really beyond my expectations! I don't believe it, with the power of a state capital, it can't deal with a few water ghosts? It is clear that someone deliberately opened the door of convenience and tolerated collusion. Li Ke said, a fierce word flashed in his eyes, as if he had moved to kill, "Don't be found out by me, otherwise you won't be able to spare him!" ”

"What if...... And like in Jiangzhou, it was a group of officials who committed crimes? Qin Mubai shook his head with a wry smile, "In my opinion, Xiangzhou has almost become a common phenomenon here, and both the government and the military government are somewhat tolerant and conniving with water ghosts. There must be an exchange of interests between them. As long as this point is clarified, it is not difficult to solve the problem at the root. ”

"It makes sense." Li Ke nodded thoughtfully, "This trip to micro-service is really rewarding-by the way, why did Chen Yan become a water ghost?" ”

"I don't know!" Qin Mubai sighed lightly and twisted his brows, "You can't fully believe the words of the prisoner and the prisoner, I am convinced that Chen Yan is not such a character, how can he become a water ghost who does a lot of evil?" Just wait until you get out, and then find out about this matter, so you have to give her justice! ”

Li Ke smiled slightly: "You seem to be very nervous, and you are still a little distressed?" ”

Qin Mubai was stunned, turned his back against the wooden pillar of the prison door, and ignored him.

"Haha!" Li Ke smiled strangely, "You are really a murderer, you can meet a confidant when you come to prison!" ”

"Bang bang bang-"

The jailer rushed in again, banging on the pillar and shouting, "Are you really going to die? Believe it or not, throw you into an iron prison to suffer a living sin? ”

Li Ke pursed his lips, sat down with his hands crossed on his chest and remained silent, but he still kept smirking at Qin Mubai.

After a long time, the light in the cell became darker, and it was about night. The jailer came to deliver the food, and a few hard steamed buns that could smash people's heads were thrown in and landed directly in the haystack. Although they were hungry, Qin Mubai and the others could not afford to eat such a diet that pigs ignored, so they only drank some water and gave the steamed buns to other prisoners.

"I guess it's time for Quan Wanji and his party to go to the Assassin's Mansion." Li Ke leaned his head against the wall, licked his lips and touched his stomach, "I'm really hungry......"

Qin Mubai teased him and said, "What's the matter, I can't stand this sin and can't play anymore, right?" Weifu made a private visit to the cell, and it smelled stinky, dirty and hungry, not pleasant? Hehe! ”

Li Ke grinned in annoyance and embarrassment: "Speaking of which, I don't eat a good banquet and hide in this prison to live and suffer, I am really full...... Belch! As soon as I said the word eating, my stomach rumbled. ”

Xue Rengui and the others all laughed. Yuwen Hongtai couldn't bear it anymore, so he sat up and shook the cell door and shouted: "Prison! Dog|Mother's prison, call your steward! ”

The entire cell seemed to tremble slightly, and many people couldn't help but cover their ears.

Yuwen Hongtai was still yelling and screaming and swaying, but he didn't have half a prison to take care of him. Annoyed him, he slammed the door with his black bear-like body, hitting it seven or eight times in a row, and actually broke the iron bolt and nail of the cell door, and with one force, the whole cell door was torn down.

"Hahaha!" Yuwen Hongtai shouted proudly, "It's open, it's open!" Go out and find a restaurant, eat and drink! ”

The prisoners were stunned, and many began to shout: "Heroes, heroes! Let us out! ”

Originally, he didn't think that Yuwen Hongtai could do anything to make him toss, but now Li Ke was also shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and called: "Yuwen Hongtai, come and sit down!" was originally innocent, but now you are escaping from prison, and it is a felony of killing your head and being exiled like colliding with the government! ”

Qin Mubai also smiled: "Heizi, why don't you be righteous and rush out of the cell to get some good wine and good food and come back and we will eat together?" ”

"Uh......" Yuwen Hongtai was stunned, hurriedly threw the cell door and sat back, scolding, "I still want to keep this head for a few more days, in case it is cut off, it will never grow again." ”

"Haha!" There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and there was laughter in the cell.

Li Ke smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, it's okay to make some noise for you." Maybe someone will recognize us and let us out...... Hey, I'm really asking for my own suffering! What kind of micro-service private interview, it's not fun at all! ”

Qin Mubai smiled and said in his heart: Li Ke is still so good at playing treasures, and now he has learned to put smoke bombs. He deliberately behaved a little unsteady and made jokes...... In fact, he is as stable as Mount Tai than anyone else, and he is not in a hurry. In this regard, he is the opposite of Li Shimin. Li Shimin is a king, even if he really does something wrong, he can't openly admit his mistake; Li Ke, but he always did not forget to disguise himself by showing weakness and playing treasures.

When the father's king is in the world, who else will be the son's introverted and hidden...... Perhaps, Li Shimin twenty years ago was exactly what Li Ke is like now, right?

Several jailers at the entrance of the cell door were terrified, all of them raised their knives and held their swords as if they were facing a great enemy, and some people ran to report in panic that they had asked for help, saying that someone wanted to escape from prison!

In the main hall of the Yamen of the Assassin's Palace, the new Xiangzhou Governor Shi Quan Wanji sat upright and talked with the local officials of Xiangzhou under the seat. As he was talking, the jailer came to report and described the situation in the prison, Quan Wanji immediately patted his thigh and jumped up: "Ah, it must be His Highness and his party!" The one who is going to escape from prison must be Yuwen Hongtai! How many people like him can there be in the world? ”

"Huh?!" The officials in the room were shocked, "Your Highness, in the prison of Xiangzhou Mansion?" ”

Wu Facao, who had arrested Li Ke and others in prison before, turned white at the moment: "No, no, it won'......!" ”

"What are you waiting for, go to the cell and have a look!"

……

Hurried footsteps and noisy crowds, a crowd poured into the cells. Under the illumination of the torches, Quan Wanji's face was first red, and then instantly turned into iron blue.

"You did a good job!! He yelled.

"Huh? Is it really Your Highness?! Wu Facao and a group of others were completely stunned.

"Why don't you let people out?"

Yuwen Hongtai was the first to rush out, staring at a pair of copper bells and shouting: "That little thief named Zhao Chong, give grandpa a ghost out!" Grandpa is going to tie you up behind the horse's ass and run all over the city! ”

"Woo - a good man spares his life!" Zhao Chong panicked and knelt down in the hall and kowtowed. The others also fell to their knees in panic.

Qin Mubai and Li Ke walked out of the prison, looked at each other and smiled, and both shook their heads.

Vulgar officials, mediocre officials! …… The official generals of Xiangzhou Mansion, why are they so bad?!

Li Ke didn't get angry on the spot, but waved his hand lightly and said to Quan Wanji: "Quan Changshi, let them all go to the main hall and wait." What's there, let's go there and talk about it, but don't be embarrassed in front of these prisoners. ”

The officials will tremble neatly, and their hearts will cry out: miserable!! The more you don't move, the more angry you may become, and it seems that we are going to suffer!

After that, Li Ke left and right with Yin Yang and Xue Rengui left and right.

Yuwen Hongtai was still angry, staring at Zhao Chong and refusing to let go, he couldn't wait to pick him up and beat him up before he was angry.

A group of officers and generals got up from the ground and walked out with their necks hunched.

"Kuroko, you stay." Qin Mubai didn't leave and said.

"Oh, good." Yuwen Hongtai rolled his eyes twice, and kicked Zhao Chong's ass, kicking him so hard that he almost pounced on the spot and ate shit.

"Haha! Look at you still yelling at us, you fucking it! Bah! Yuwen Hongtai was relieved and scolded hatefully. Zhao Chong didn't dare to reply after being kicked on the head, and ran away.

Qin Mubai was still standing in the prison, glanced at the innermost room, and hooked his fingers at the two cells who were standing on the side and trembling.

"This ...... Childe, what do you command? The prisoner didn't know what to call Qin Mubai, so he had to be cautious and timid.

"This is the new Xiangzhou Mansion Zhichong Duwei, the son-in-law of the emperor's old man, and the third son of the Qin Shubao family, the prince of Yipinguo - Qin Mubai and General Qin!" Yuwen Hongtai shouted angrily.

The eyes of the two prisoners straightened on the spot, and when they opened their mouths wide, they almost drooled.

Qin Mubai was amused, shook his head and smiled: "You immediately open the innermost cell for me, invite the female prisoner out, I want to talk to her; Besides, get a fat chicken and a pot of good wine for the prisoner in that cell, well, it's better to make another pot of lamb tripe. ”

"Uh......" The jail was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to react.

"What, there's a problem, or can't it be done?" Qin Mubai frowned.

"The villain will do it right away!!"
