The capital is forty miles in circumference, overcrowded, shoulder to shoulder, walking on the road during the day, if you are not careful, you will meet others, at that time the intuition of the street is too narrow and there are too many people. But at night, when you go out on the street alone, the empty street and the high walls of the street will weigh heavily on the shoulders of pedestrians, making people breathless. The street that does not walk for a long time during the day, when no one is there at night, it will be strange, no matter how you walk, it seems that you can't walk to the end, there are no pedestrians to accompany you, such a street is like a ghost area, even the sound of the watch from a distance is ethereal as if it came out of the ground, hearing this sound people can't help but wonder if there is really a watchman, whether the sound of the bamboo tube that is knocked at a fixed point every night is from a human hand or a ghost hand.

It is not the first time that Lan Ziyi has traveled to the capital at night, he has already learned the silence of the night in the capital, but tonight's streets make people feel particularly cold.

Thinking of this, Lan Ziyi said to himself:

"It's so cold tonight!"

Yue'er heard the words and said:

"Does Wei Hou feel cold? I'll give you the cloak. ”

As she spoke, Yue'er was about to untie her cloak and drape it on Lan Ziyi. Lan Ziyi hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"I'm not cold, Yue'er, don't take off your cloak. What if you uncloaked and someone sees you? ”

Yue'er stopped the movements of his hand when he heard this, and he laughed and teased Lan Ziyi:

"What? Wei Hou is afraid that I will be looked at? I'm all yours, what are you afraid of? Besides, on the streets of Beijing in the dead of night, where will anyone see us? ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"I'm not afraid that you will be seen, I'm afraid that you will be seen at this time, at this time you and I go out is quite suspicious, the capital is mixed, no one can guarantee that no one is staring at us."

Yue'er smiled:

"Wei Hou is too worried, Yue'er promises, there is absolutely no one around us staring at us. No one can hide it under my nose. ”

Yue'er's kung fu Lan Ziyi knows that she is a spy herself, and it is indeed not easy for other spies to avoid her eyes.

Seeing that Lan Ziyi didn't speak, Yue'er asked again:

"Wei Hou just said that it was cold, don't you think it's unsafe to walk on the street with only you and me?"

Lan Ziyi shook his head and smiled:

"I thought I could travel to the capital with Yue'er tonight and spend a good time before the moon, but now I look at the dark and high moon scene, it's really unlucky, how can I not feel cold at this night?"

Yue'er laughed out loud when she heard this, and she said:

"Wei Hou, you are really a child

Lan Ziyi laughed at himself:

"It's just a scholar's habit."

The two chatted without saying a word, and came to the Yamen of Taicheng in the east. On weekdays, when they go to the Zhaoxian Gate, they are all fathers-in-law who lead the way, but after Lan Ziyi and Yue'er arrive today, it is Taichengwei who is waiting for them. After the guards took Lan Ziyi, they didn't say much, but just took the two of them into the palace, and went north through the Taicheng Wei Yamen to the north area outside the palace

This area says that he is a Taicheng, but it is not within the palace walls, and that he is not a Taicheng, but it is only connected to the palace and the outer wall, and ordinary people are not qualified to enter here at all. Lan Ziyi only knew that there was an arsenal and a temple to wash grievances here, and he didn't know much about other situations.

Under the leadership of the guards, Lan Ziyi soon came to the Wash Grievance Temple, and the Yueshan Mountain next to Lan Ziyi was very skillful along the way, it seems that she is not the first time to come here, if there is no Wei Jun to guide the way, Lan Ziyi can also find a place today by relying on Yue'er.

From the outside, it is not a tall building, it does not even have lights, and it is like a black hole in the dark night, swallowing up all the light left in the night.

Before entering the door, Lan Ziyi intuitively felt that it was pitch black in front of him, and after entering the door, Lan Ziyi felt a different scene, as soon as he opened the door, Lan Ziyi was smoked to tears by the smell of blood and burnt hu. The screams and wails that kept coming from the depths of the door kept hitting Lan Ziyi's eardrums, and the shouts of grievances attached to the ground seemed small and indifferent, that kind of sound was simply the background sound of this building, if there was no whispering of grievances, it would make people wonder if this building was still a temple of grievances.

Lan Ziyi covered his nose and stood at the door for a while to get used to it before he could barely stabilize his mind, and the terrible memories of that day in the dungeon of Luo Yingmin in the old capital all poured into Lan Ziyi's heart, making him dizzy and restless. In Lan Ziyi's eyes, the secluded corridor of the Temple in front of him was like the entrance to hell, constantly squirming and trying to swallow all the people who entered the door, Lan Ziyi spent a lot of effort to control his legs, and did not let himself turn around and run away immediately.

Yue'er naturally noticed Lan Ziyi's abnormality, but she didn't ask Lan Ziyi at the first time, she waited until Lan Ziyi's spirit calmed down before asking:

"Wei Hou, are you unwell?"

Lan Ziyi wanted to gasp but didn't dare to gasp, he was sweating profusely, panting and said:

"The smell of blood, the smell of blood and the screams make people uneasy."

Then Lan Ziyi turned his head and looked at Yue'er in surprise and said:

"Yue'er, why don't you look like a nobody?"

Yue'er laughed when she heard this:

"What's so strange about this? I thought that Wei Hou was born and died on the battlefield and was used to seeing the sea of corpses and blood, and he was covered with blood, but I didn't expect you to be so bold. “

Lan Ziyi looked at Yue'er, who was laughing and laughing, and asked in surprise;

"I crawled out of the pile of dead people, but this place is different from the battlefield, the battlefield is to fight each other, here people are indeed tortured and killed, I don't want to stay in this kind of hell on earth for a moment!"

Yue'er turned her head disdainfully when she heard this, and she laughed;

"Fighting, torture, and killing are all murders? Wei Hou, your reaction is too intense. ”

After saying that, Yue'er instructed the guards on the side:

"Lead the way, we want to see the prisoners caught today."

The guards who were waiting on the side said when they heard this:

"Miss, please come here, please."

As he spoke, he led the way in front, Yue'er immediately followed, and Lan Ziyi watched Yue'er for a long time, and he finally found that he and Yueshan were people from two worlds. Yue'er made it clear that she was a killing machine cultivated by her father-in-law, and she had long been accustomed to this kind of extravagant killing.

But no matter what Lan Ziyi thought in his heart, he had to keep up with it, and no matter how reluctant he was, he had to take steps to catch up with the two in front of him.

Wei Jun took Lan Ziyi and Yueshan into the Grievance Washing Temple, and went down to the basement floor, Lan Ziyi looked at the surrounding cells one after another, looked at the prisoners in the cells who were begging for mercy or desperate, and asked Wei Jun:

"How long will it take for the prisoners in this temple to be released?"

When the guards heard this, they said:

"Does Wei Hou look down on us Taicheng Wei? Those who are imprisoned in this prison have only one way out, and there is no possibility of getting out. ”

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he thought of the screams around him, and regretted for the first time that he had asked Taichengwei to deal with those exam dealers today. Lan Ziyi asked again:

"Isn't this called the Temple of Washing Grievances? Is it reasonable that you do not clear the grievances of the criminals, but only kill people? ”

At this time, Yue'er smiled and said:

"Wei Hou is here, what else do you want to ask? Those who shouted grievances are dead, naturally there will be no grievances, how can I be humiliated by the temple of grievances? ”

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, and it didn't take long for him to be taken into an interrogation room. There are all kinds of torture instruments in the interrogation room, and the important thing in the group is that there is a person on each torture instrument, Lan Ziyi took a closer look at those prisoners, and found that one of them was a scoundrel who sold the question today. These people are now covered in flesh and blood, only incoming qi, not out, and their lives are not long in and out.

Several guards in charge of torture inside had already stopped and were resting, and after seeing Lan Ziyi and Yueshan coming in, several guards hurriedly got up and said:

"Wei Hou, these scoundrels have all recruited."
