(If you have a monthly pass, raise your hand!) ）

Except for the yamen of the state capital, which is located in the Furong Garden, the state prison is probably the largest building in the city, and it is a super-large courtyard surrounded by a high wall.

In addition to being extremely tall, with sharp clams and ceramic shards inserted into the middle and upper parts of the prison to prevent climbing, the outer wall of the state prison was built to be six feet thick, and the middle of the two rammed earth walls was filled with river sand.

Even if a prisoner tries to dig through the wall, if he makes a hole in the rammed earth wall on one side, the river sand will roll out of the hole, making it difficult for the prisoner to escape.

In addition, there are towering prison pavilions at the four corners of the state prison, and there are jailers guarding the pavilions day and night, so that they can overlook the situation inside and outside the prison courtyard.

Except for the northwest corner of the state prison, which is usually locked and dragged the body, there is only one entrance and exit in the southwest corner, and from the gate you enter the prison hall where the jailers and jailers usually work and are stationed, and then there is the outer prison, the women's prison, and the inner prison where the felons are detained.

There are only 60 cells in the cantonal prison, and they are extremely cramped, each three steps square, which equates to an average of nearly 20 prisoners per cell.

Fortunately, the weather in Xuzhou is also quite cool after summer, and it is rare to have high temperature weather, otherwise it is like the furnace terrain of Jinling, and I don't know how many people will suffocate and die of heat in this cell after summer.

At this time, it was close to noon, and the last night patrol of the day had been completed, and most of the jailers and scribes on duty had gone back to the barracks of the prison hall in the front yard to rest, and only a dozen or so jailers were responsible for the vigil, and no one thought that the new assassin would go straight to the prison hall on the first night of his appointment.

Seeing Fan Xicheng holding up Han Daoxun's Bronze Seal of the Assassination History and Zhang Xiaochuan, the jailer who was twisted to the gate of the prison hall by Zhao Kuo and others, the head of the cell guarding the prison pavilion at the front door, also asked Fan Xicheng to put down a small basket and asked Fan Xicheng to put the Bronze Seal of the Assassination History in it and give it to him for inspection.

Han Qian signaled, Gao Shao and Zhao Wuji had already shot at the same time, and both arrows went directly through the neck of the cell head, only to see the cell head snort, and the person fell straight backwards, and then there was a dull sound of falling to the ground.

Lin Zongjing led a group of men and horses, took a rope hook and quickly climbed up to the prison pavilion, handed over the blades and crossbows in the hands of the three jailers who were guarding the high pavilion but were already pale with fright, and quickly opened the door from the inside.

Seeing that the soldiers brought into Xuzhou by Lord Assassin Shi acted so decisively and ruthlessly, Zhang Xiaochuan and Liu Bin turned pale.

The door in front of the prison hall opened, and the scribe on duty and the other jailer leaders who had already slept ran out of the barracks, and they didn't know what was going on, only to see a group of people wearing official uniforms and surrounded by a group of soldiers directly breaking into the prison hall, and the cell leader on duty, Liu Genzhu, had already died on the spot, with two arrows stuck in his neck, and the blood was still seeping out.

"I am the new assassin Han Daoxun," Han Daoxun took the big seal from Fan Xicheng, held it high under the pine resin torch, and said sharply, "The jailers on duty tonight will all take off their armor and wait for review, and the others will not listen to the call and will not be allowed to leave the barracks, and those who dare to resist will be killed!" Whoever is the name of the scribe on duty, go and bring all the names of the jailers and prisoners to the public hall! ”

Han Daoxun had served as a magistrate in Chuzhou, and Fan Xicheng and two other family soldiers had followed Han Daoxun since then, and were quite familiar with the structure of the prison in the world.

Without Han Daoxun's deliberate orders, Fan Xicheng immediately led a group of people to check the closure of the passage from the prison hall to the prison cell, and Guo Nuer, Gao Shao, Tian Cheng and others each brought a group of people to replace the guards on duty in the four corners of the prison pavilion and temporarily keep an eye on the movements inside and outside the state prison.

Zhao Kuo and Zhao Wuji led ten people to guard the side of the public hall.

Han Daoxun silently looked through the account books in the prison hall, and the prison hall was silent.

Xue Ruogu had the courage to ask, "Lord Assassin, but there is news confirming that there has been a change in the state prison?" ”

"In the last three days, 36 new prisoners have been detained, could it be that Xuzhou is really the hometown of bandits? There are also several new additions to the state prison, and there are only 60 jailers, last night on the grounds of the loss of armor, 60 new iron spears, 60 simple knives, 60 iron shields, 60 pairs of armor, whose idea is it, is it possible that all the soldiers in the state prison have to change a set of armor? Han Daoxun ignored Xue Ruogu's questioning and stared at the prison guard Zhang Xiaochuan.

Looking at this movement, everyone was nervously speculating whether the new assassin had gotten inside information and knew that there had been changes in the state prison, and when Han Daoxun clearly laid out the suspicious points in the prison hall directory and accounts, everyone realized that the existence of the state prison was not a simple problem, but a riot of internal and external collusion that was about to break out.

Xue Ruogu and the others were pale, they were not stupid, as soon as the new assassin Shi arrived in Qianyang City, there were people in the state prison who colluded inside and outside, conspired and rioted, and everyone could have thought that there must be extremely key people involved in it, so that such a situation would be formed.

In addition, the four soldiers behind Zhang Xiaochuan and Liu Bin almost took the knife directly to their necks.

At this time, the men and horses guarding the state prison dragged the dead bodies of two jailers in: "These two people tried to jump over the wall and escape. ”

Staring at the two soft corpses that were not yet hard, Han Qian smiled coldly and piled them up in the corner of the courtyard with the cell boss who had been shot first.

The riot on the side of the state prison, as long as it is not launched, it will be caught off guard, and the situation will be easy to control, after all, the prison official Zhang Xiaochuan has been controlled by them at the first time, and it is impossible to demagogue.

And even if there are cronies installed by the four surnames among the jailers, the prestige is not enough, and it is not enough to induce other jailers and cell leaders to create a new assassination history together, but if the information reaches the state camp, the problem may be much more serious than imagined.

When Dachu was founded, in order to compromise with the Shanyue surname in exchange for the annexation of Xuchen and other states, almost all of the key positions such as soldiers and Cao joining the army fell into the hands of the powerful people with the big surname, which also caused the state camp to have four or five hundred soldiers and horses, mainly the children of the four surnamed Shanyue.

If they haven't controlled the situation on the side of the state prison, and the news leaks out, and the four surnamed dogs jump over the wall to incite the state battalion soldiers and horses to riot, the situation will become a mess again, and the best result at that time is that they will fight their way out of the encirclement, retreat to Chenzhou or Langzhou, and ask for reinforcements.

At that time, no matter whether Jinling is fussed or suppressed, Xuzhou will not have a foothold for his father.

If he cares, he will inevitably transfer his father away, and even reprimand and ask him for his guilt, so as to soothe the hearts of the four surnames, and if he suppresses him, he will also send another general to preside over the situation, and his father can only stand aside.

In order to prevent this from happening, Han Qian only led forty people into the prison hall with Han Qian, and the other more than forty people continued to disperse and lurk outside the state prison, completely sealing off the state prison.

It may also be a change in the guards of the prison pavilion, telling the prisoners to see the flaws through the gate, and the prison cell is agitated.

Although the gates are all made of iron, the cells are rammed with earth, and the gates of the cells are not secure. What's more, these gates have long been tampered with.

After unloading the soldiers on duty that night and putting them in a barracks together with Zhang Xiaochuan and Liu Bin, Han Qian and his father boarded a prison pavilion and saw that in the inner prison courtyard, two or three hundred prisoners had rushed out of the prison cell and crowded into the narrow courtyard, making noise while looking for tools for climbing, and some even dug the courtyard wall with their bare hands.

"Nine hundred murderers rioted, do you think about how many chances you and your family have to escape?" Han Daoxun stared at Xue Ruogu and the others and asked.

The corners of Xue Ruogu's mouth twitched, it was not difficult to imagine what a catastrophe it would be to let the nine hundred prisoners revolt successfully, and to obtain a large number of weapons directly from the prison hall.

"I'll ask you for advice on what to do." Xue Ruogu is not stupid, no matter what, only by controlling the state prison side in the fastest time can the situation be turned around.

"You lead and know the jailers to climb the prison wall to prevent the prisoners from climbing the wall to escape," Han Daoxun knew that although Xue Ruogu was a civil servant, he was a little bold enough to go to the state border alone to meet him, so he asked him to lead those relatively reliable jailers who would go back to the barracks to rest after nightfall to climb the prison wall to prevent the prisoners from climbing the wall and escaping.

Although they can barely suppress the prisoners, they can't concentrate all their hands to suppress the restless prisoners in the state prison, and they must leave a part of their manpower to keep an eye on the direction of the state camp, in that case, even if the remaining jailers are not completely reliable, they can only take risks.

"Li Tang and Qin Wen, two brothers, the time is in danger, please help the adults with me." Xue Ruogu saw that Han Daoxun trusted him, and did not treat him as a suspicious element for guarding, and he also took the initiative to invite the two of them, who he thought were okay and had the courage to act as a person, to help him, and led the jailers to defend the wall together.

"I am the new assassin Han Daoxun, and those who retreat into the prison at this time will not be held accountable!" Han Daoxun watched as Xue Ruogu and the three of them led the frightened forty jailers onto the prison wall and shouted at the noisy prisoners in the prison courtyard.

"I'm afraid it's not okay to see blood." Han Qian lowered his voice and said to his father.

Han Daoxun has been a pusher for a long time, and he knows that the momentum of agitation has risen, and it is not easy to suppress it, seeing that Zhao Kuo, Yang Qin, Tian Cheng and others have gathered thirty soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding heavy shields in the courtyard, he can't bear it anymore, and he also knows that if he doesn't want the situation to get out of control, he must drive these noisy prisoners back to the prison cell in the shortest possible time.

"Open the prison!" Han Daoxun's thin face became more and more dry, and he hesitated for a while, and finally signaled Fan Xicheng to open the second heavy door from the prison hall to the prison hall, and Zhao Kuo, Yang Qin, and Tian Cheng led nearly ten heavy-armored soldiers to kill them to suppress the noisy prisoners.
