Chapter 1000: Dog eats dog
Wang Huili sensed danger.
Usually jailers don't come late at night, and they don't come in so carefully. The height of the door lock is not accessible to ordinary small animals, and it is impossible to make a continuous sound.
Wang Huili and the second cabinet were in prison, unarmed, and he must not leave time for the killer.
He did not hesitate, and immediately shouted loudly: "Someone, murder!" ”
The second cabinet was also awakened by him, and shouted desperately with him.
The night is vast and eerie. The mournful shouts of Wang Huili and the second cabinet resounded throughout the prison.
Wang Huili heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then, a chaotic human voice sounded.
Soon a group of people ran over, and then the door of the cell was opened, and the cell leader broke in with a weapon in his hand, and he was visibly relieved to see that Wang Huili and the second cabinet were still alive, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Wang Huili said: "My lord, I just heard someone picking the lock of the cell door, so I shouted. ”
The cell boss saw the lock that had fallen on the ground and said to the guards behind him, "Go and check around." ”
Several guards ran away, and the cell boss walked into the cell, looked around carefully, and saw that there were no other hidden dangers, and then walked towards the cell door.
At this time, several guards ran back, and one of the guards said, "My lord, I didn't find any suspicious people, maybe ......"
When he said this, he was interrupted by the cell boss, who said, "Go, go out and talk." Then the cell boss and the others came out of the cell and closed the door.
Wang Huili hurriedly took off his shoes, crept to the cell door, and put his ear to the door.
He heard the cell boss say, "It must have been done by someone from within us." ”
One of the guards asked, "My lord, can we still check it?" ”
The cell boss said, "Check the fart! It's a matter between adults, not something we can mix, the less we know, the safer, if we find out who it is, I'm afraid our own lives will not be guaranteed. ”
One of the guards nervously said, "Oops, that's terrible! Your Excellency is right. So what's next? ”
The cell boss said, "Don't sleep tonight, just stay at the door of this cell, and don't let anything happen again." If something really goes wrong with the prisoners, all of us will be doomed. I went to report to the prison chief and asked him to transfer the prisoner as soon as possible. As he spoke, the footsteps of the cell boss were heard in the distance.
Wang Huili breathed a sigh of relief, walked back and sat down next to the second cabinet, and whispered to him: "Okay! It's safe for the time being, so let's sleep in peace. ”
Having said that, neither of them could sleep, and the sound of each other's heavy breathing could be heard in the darkness.
Wang Huili really couldn't sleep, so he sat up. He saw the cat lying on the side of the bed, took it in his arms, flicked its chin and said, "Good baby, thanks to you today!" Tomorrow breakfast will give you all the meat in the dish. ”
These days, Wang Huili and the second cabinet are indeed stained with the light of this kitten, in order to test the poison, they will have meat in every meal, these days, at least in the food has improved a lot.
The kitten squinted its eyes and raised its chin, enjoying Wang Huili's petting comfortably. The night was deep, quiet and peaceful, and Wang Huili, who was in a relaxed mood, finally fell asleep.
As soon as it was dawn, Wang Huili was awakened by the sound of the prison door.
The cell door opened, and the cell boss walked in with a few soldiers, followed by an officer and several soldiers, who shouted to Wang Huili and the second cabinet, "Get up quickly." ”
He said to an officer, "My lord, these are these two people, so I'll leave it to you!"
The officer said to his soldiers: "Take them away." ”
Two soldiers walked over, covered the eyes of Wang Huili and the second cabinet with black cloths, and then led them out of the prison.
Marquis Marquis Palace.
Early in the morning, as soon as the Marquis Martel got up, the butler came in and reported: "Lord Marquis, the people sent last night were unsuccessful, and the prisoners have been transferred by them. ”
Marquis Martel was very angry and said, "How did you do it? Why can't you even do this little thing?! ”
The butler said depressedly: "Lord Marquis, it is a small incompetence. The villain spent a lot of money to buy off the chief guard in the prison, but the chief guard said that the judge arranged for his cronies to not let others get close to the Tang Dynasty, and he also kept a cat inside, and he couldn't poison it, so he ventured into the prison last night, but he didn't expect those damn Tang Dynasty people to be very vigilant, and they didn't wait for them to go in! ”
The butler paused when he said this, looked at the eyes of the Marquis Marquis, and said stubbornly: "Lord Marquis, there is also bad news, the Tang Dynasty people have been taken away by the navy, and I don't know where they went. ”
"What?!" Marquis Martel said in surprise: "I was taken away by the navy!" Oops, people are in the hands of that old guy in Stefan, and things are really troublesome. ”
The Marquis Martel was furious and shouted there for a long time. The butler was so frightened that he remained silent, and there he bowed his head, enduring his thunderous fury.
Finally, the Marquis Marquis of Martel was done venting. He sat in his chair for a long time, and then, listlessly, went out to see the chief of the court and tell him the news.
Palace.
Constans II and Empress Kent Tanka were enjoying the song and dance, and the chief of the court came over and stopped talking.
Kent Tanka said to the bottom, "Go down, all of you." Constans II asked, "What is it?" ”
The court governor relayed the news that the Marquis Marquis Marcel had told him.
Constans II scratched his head and said depressedly: "When people fall into the hands of this old fellow, Stefan, things will be passive. ”
Kent Tanka said angrily: "This old guy is really annoying. She thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said, "Your Majesty, this is a good thing!" ”
Puzzled, Constans II asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Kent Tanka said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you think, he is the commander in chief of the navy, why should he be involved in local legal affairs?" He has overstepped his authority, and he can seize this matter to make a fuss and punish him for the crime of unauthorized power. ”
Constans II was also delighted, he stretched out his index finger and gently scraped the bridge of the nose of Empress Kent Tanka, and said with a smile: "Baby! You're so smart! That's it. ”
The Roman court did not have a system of daily morning courts, they only held a court meeting every ten days, they usually had their own divisions to deal with daily problems, and major events were gathered to Constans II to solve, and in case of special matters, they would temporarily convene court meetings.
Naval High Command.
Grand Duke Stefan received the news that a court meeting would be held tomorrow to impeach him for meddling in local legal affairs.
