Chapter Forty-Three: The Law of the King?
Wanzhong County is a special county among the six counties of Yueguo, due to the existence of Yuejing City, there is no county guard in the county. The court replaced the supreme governor in charge of the administration of Wanzhong County, and the imperial court was set up as the governor of Zhili, which was not a permanent position, and was mostly held by the crown prince or the prince.
However, the Yuejing Prefecture is the yamen that manages public security issues in the Yuejing City, and most of them deal with civil affairs and maintain normal order in the capital, and some major and important cases are not handled by them. Although it has no authority to handle major cases, it also has an establishment of hundreds of officials, after all, to maintain the law and order of such a huge city as Yuejing, it is definitely not possible to have enough manpower.
The Yuejing Mansion nominally dealt with the civil affairs in the capital, but the successive governors knew in their hearts that the objects they controlled were just ordinary people, and as for the children of those high-ranking officials and nobles, they naturally did not have the courage to take care of it. Yuejing Prefecture Yin is responsible for the security of Kyoto, although he is also qualified to appear in the early dynasty, but in Kyoto, where there are many high-ranking officials, this official position is really nothing, and the person who sits in this position is to be left and right, exquisite in all directions, and maneuver among the major forces.
Therefore, when two officers and soldiers in armor escorted Jiang Xiaobai to the yamen, the current governor Yin Qian kept hearing that it was someone sent by Young Master Jin, so he didn't say a word, and he didn't try it, so he put Jiang Xiaobai in prison.
....
The prison of Yuejing Mansion was not far from the yamen, built in an extremely dark place, and the whole prison was swallowed by the boundless gray, only a few rays of residual sun shone obliquely in, and there was not a single ripple on the broken mud wall. The door to the cell was a large iron gate, and the key was in the hands of the prison chief.
Originally, before the prisoner was to enter the prison, he had to go through procedures such as body searches and changing prison clothes, but the prison chief saw that Jiang Xiaobai was dressed in shabby clothes and had nothing to fish, so he gave up these troublesome steps, and after handcuffing and anklets, he let two or three jailers wearing big knives escort Jiang Xiaobai into the prison.
When I opened the big iron door, I saw that the prison was extremely dim, and only a few torches on both sides flashed faintly. There are several tables and chairs on one side behind the iron door, and several jailers are lying on the tables and drowsy, and the walls on the side are covered with prison utensils such as flails, pestles, shackles, locks, and boxes.
The prison was dark and damp all year round, filled with a rotten and sour smell. This is the epitome of the darkness and squalor of the world, even the air is turbid, if you are a normal person, I am afraid you will not be able to stand it for a while, but the people who are locked up here may not be able to get out for the rest of their lives. Here, not only the smell of dampness and decay, but also the smell of death.
Jiang Xiaobai walked on the narrow stone road, and with every step he took, he could hear the friction sound of "scratching and rowing" from the anklet. The prisoners who were sleeping in the cells on either side of the cell stood up one after another, poking their heads out to look at the new young man through the cracks in the doors made of thick wooden bars.
These are all bad people in the market, and what they have committed is not a mortal crime, but nothing more than some crimes of smashing, stealing, and molesting people's girls. For these rotten people, they have long been accustomed to the dimness and dampness of the cell, and every time a new person enters the prison, ridiculing the new person's appearance, figure, and crime has become the best time for these rotten people to pass the time of boredom.
The gloomy and lonely prison suddenly became lively, and it was not until the jailer who detained Jiang Xiaobai knocked on the cell door with a big knife a few times that he regained a little of the silence that should have been in the prison.
The two jailers continued to push Jiang Xiaobai forward on the stone path, and after a while, they walked to the deepest part of the Yuejing Mansion prison. There were six cells in the depths, and unlike the ones I had just passed through, they were much more heavily guarded, with more than a dozen jailers guarding them, and the doors of these six cells were no longer made of wood, but were made of thick iron bars.
The prisoners in these six cells were also different from the sloppy people I had seen before, they were all burly people with fierce faces. Seeing that a newcomer was detained, these people immediately began to coax, raising their heads and staring at Jiang Xiaobai with a pair of eyes, a grim smile lacked at the corner of their mouths, and some people even whistled at Jiang Xiaobai, and then burst into laughter, the meaning of flirting is self-evident. The two jailers who were holding Jiang Xiaobai did not express any dissatisfaction with this.
The eyes of the prisoners were fixed on him, which made Jiang Xiaobai feel quite unhappy, he clearly saw the different specifications of this cell, and the people who were imprisoned here should be the prison tyrants in the Yuejing Mansion prison.
The so-called prison tyrant is a person who occupies his own strength, forms a gang in the prison, and claims to be the king and hegemon. This kind of person bullies the weak, manipulates the affairs of the cell, takes some prisoners as younger brothers, beats other prisoners, robs and forcibly occupies them, and extorts goods. Some prison bullies are superficially respectful to the jailers, while others are able to make the jailers even the prison chief polite to them.
The laughter and whistles just now were to give him the newcomer's "dismount, and seeing that the two jailers who detained him didn't say a word about it, he knew that this prison bully in the Yuejing Mansion Prison was not simple.
"It's here, let's go in!" The two jailers pushed Jiang Xiaobai into the last cell, locked the iron door and left
Jiang Xiaobai looked around, the space in this cell was also quite large, except that he was holding three people. Of the three, one was thin and had a sinister face, while the other was strong and strong, with a fierce glint in his eyes, and the last sat calmly between them. At this time, they were all staring at Jiang Xiaobai.
Unlike Jiang Xiaobai, who is sloppy and sloppy and has a bearded face, these three people are not wearing prison uniforms, although their clothes are not as gorgeous as the word gorgeous, they are also clean, their hair is not messy, and the stubble on their faces is refreshing. Leaving aside this dark and damp cell, it still looks like a prisoner under the stairs.
Ignoring the eyes of these three people, Jiang Xiaobai found a corner in the cell and sat down, and began to think about how to solve the current situation. The three men stared at him for a moment, and then the thinner prisoner shouted at him, "Hey! New here, is there any filial piety?"
Of course, Jiang Xiaobai knew what the "filial piety" in these words meant, glanced at the person who shouted at him, did not reply, and continued to ponder.
"Hey! It's quite horizontal" The emaciated prisoner saw that Jiang Xiaobai didn't care, and spat on the ground angrily in his heart, then stood up and walked in front of Jiang Xiaobai, and stretched out his hand to search Jiang Xiaobai's arms.
Jiang Xiaobai's mood at the moment was extremely boring, and he didn't want to be like these prisoners, but someone wanted to hit the muzzle.
Seeing a pair of hands stretched out, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes flashed with coldness, and he grabbed the emaciated prisoner's hand and folded it, and before the emaciated prisoner could scream, another heavy punch hit him in the stomach, and then a pair of big hands pinched the emaciated prisoner's neck, carrying the whole person to the cell door.
"Don't take your set and put it on me" Jiang Xiaobai looked coldly at the emaciated prisoner in front of him, and said word by word, "If you think I'm a good bully, I'm sorry, you're wrong." “
The cold and murderous eyes made a chill rise in the emaciated prisoner's heart, and the face that had been arrogant just now suddenly became extremely distorted. As the strength on Jiang Xiaobai's hand became heavier and heavier, and his breathing became more and more difficult, the emaciated prisoner only felt a sense of fear that he had never felt before, and broke Jiang Xiaobai's hand with the ground, and shouted with difficulty: "Boss.... Help"
Seeing this, the strong man full of fierce light casually picked up the bench in the cell and smashed it behind Jiang Xiaobai. Jiang Xiaobai moved with the momentum, hit the hand joint of the big man with one hand, immediately grabbed the bench, and smashed it hard at the attacking big man, the sturdy bench was smashed open, and the big man suddenly broke his head and squatted down.
Then, Jiang Xiaobai threw another punch, and just when this heavy punch was about to hit the strong man's chest, the middle-aged man who had been calm and relaxed before finally moved, only to see his figure flashing in front of Jiang Xiaobai, the speed was extremely fast, and then he grabbed Jiang Xiaobai's hand with one hand, and the heavy punch stopped in mid-air.
Jiang Xiaobai was surprised in his heart, and looked at the middle-aged man with some surprise, and the right hand that punched forward increased a few more strengths. The middle-aged man was the same, seeing that the bruises in his arms were bursting out, he grabbed Jiang Xiaobai's hand tightly, and the two were frozen in this cell.
When the prisoners in the other five cells saw the fight, their dead faces became excited, and their mouths shouted cheering and cheering words in their mouths. More than a dozen jailers guarding outside heard the commotion in the cell and hurried in, and the leading jailer saw that the two people in the cell were facing each other, and there was another person with a broken head and a person covering his neck, and immediately drew a long knife and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop! ”
Jiang Xiaobai took the lead in shaking off his hand, although he was very angry in his heart, he also knew that he couldn't kill people in this prison, otherwise the trouble would be even greater.
Then I heard another jailer shouting to Jiang Xiaobai: "Oops! You kid, you just got into trouble, don't you, believe it or not..."
Don't ask right or wrong first, just open your mouth to accuse, just because it's a good bully for newcomers? Jiang Xiaobai's expression turned cold, and he turned his head to stare at the jailer who was talking to him.
Jiang Xiaobai is a human being in two lives, in his previous life, he was a special elite who had experienced a rain of bullets, and in this life, he has experienced several lives and deaths, and he has also practiced the two internal skills of pushing the coffin and the three-life formula. After this glare, the jailer felt a chill behind him, and he couldn't help but shiver, and the words he wanted to say were swallowed in his throat, and he didn't have the confidence to say more.
Seeing that the two of them stopped, the leading jailer frowned without pursuing too much, and immediately ordered someone to imprison Jiang Xiaobai in another cell, and then asked people to drag the bleeding man to bandage it, and then led people out of here.
If it is true, these places are good people and people are bullied.
