"It's all small, so ...... adults"

"Bang bang-will-bang-rush-"

At first, it was just a little strange movement, but slowly the sound became louder and louder, and finally you could faintly hear the shouts of people, and it was very intense.

These voices interrupted the cell leader's words, and the old god who had just returned to the teacher, the chief cell boss with an old fritter posture changed his face at the moment, and his eyes rolled in a panic: "Ying, Lord Ying, if you finish searching, then we ......"

Ying Shurong raised a hand to signal the cell head to be quiet, pretending not to see the cell leader's panicked and pale face, and pretending not to know anything and asked, "What kind of sound is this?" ”

"Yes, it's the prisoners in the cell next to me who are making trouble, you know, this group of prisoners is always uncomfortable, adults, you go and rest, I will take someone to deal with it immediately."

"No, no," Ying Shurong didn't listen to his explanation, and moved his fingers, pointing in the direction that the cell boss was most afraid of, "The voice came from there." ”

"No, no," the cell boss tried to block Ying Shurong, "Your Excellency, you heard it wrong, it's over there, over there, my lord, we're still ......"

Ying Shurong didn't listen to his nonsense, pushed the cell head away with his arm, and walked straight to the place where he "found", the cell head was panicked, and wanted to reach out to grab Ying Shurong, but this weak scholar-like adult, not only was he pulled away, but he was also taken out in turn.

Soon, we were in front of a wall inside.

On the wall, there are some tools to punish the obedience of prisoners, whips, chains, etc., and the walls are still stained with the dirt peculiar to prisons.

"Look, my lord, nothing ......"

"Everyone rush with me, we must escape!!"

The cell boss's explanation, under this already obvious shout, became pale and weak, and it was ridiculous.

Ying Shurong's face also changed, with a cold and cool expression: "Come on, break this wall for the palace." ”

There is no need to look for the organ, under this most powerful voice, there is no need for any evidence.

And, from the voice just now, he heard despair!

He couldn't let the innocent people in it trust them in vain, and let alone die because of it, and he couldn't let some little eunuch waste all these days of hard work.

At the request of the lord, the cell head and the jailer wanted to work hard, but where could they be the strength of this group of guards who followed the prince in the water and went to the fire, and they were pushed hard, and they fell behind.

The words are divided into two ends, and Lao Zuo and the others have indeed reached the most critical moment.

They rushed all the way out, but not as easy as they had at the beginning.

This is the biggest secret of the Criminal Department, and it is the main factor in the development and growth of the Criminal Department.

So they were quickly suppressed, and at first, they didn't want them to die, so the guards just knocked their scrawny "prisoners" to the ground and kicked them a few times to vent.

However, under the drive of Lao Zuo, under the ferocity of the jailers, and under the long-term backlog, the originally timid "prisoners" were aroused by the blood buried deep in their bones, and when they were knocked down, they got up again and rushed out with their partners.

The jailers discovered their anomaly and suppressed them even more, even wanting to kill them in the end.

At that time, several people were pressed to the ground by the jailers, some were trampled and vomited blood, some were cut, Lao Zuo took the only remaining people, and shouted with a bloody face: "Everyone rush with me, we want to leave here, we want to leave here...... Freedom, just behind this wall, rush, rush out! ”

"Get out!"

They rushed forward with all their might, fighting, hitting the wall with their bodies, and in the end, even Lao Zuo was knocked to the ground and one foot was stomped on his chest.

"Okay, you want to die, right," the captain of the jailers was the one who stepped on Lao Zuo, and he pulled out his knife, "Then I will make an example of the monkey today, and let you know that what you have done will end up with only this one!" ”

He raised his big knife high, and was about to cut off Lao Zuo's head—

Some of the prisoners who fell or knelt widened their eyes, and some closed their eyes when they didn't dare to look anymore, fading away from that momentum and blood, and all they had left was despair, and at that moment, they really thought that they had been deceived, and the person who said that as long as they rushed out and made a noise, someone would come to save them, deceived them......

"Boom-"

With a loud bang, a wall collapsed, scaring the prisoners, and the jailer and the captain with the knife, whose knife was still in the air, looked at the guards who rushed in with the force, and did not know what was happening.

When Ying Shurong saw this scene, his face was as cold as if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming in person, and he immediately said: "Carry the injured people to treatment immediately, as for these murderers, they will be arrested by this official." ”

"Yes!"

The guards' response shook the sky, and the head of the cell stepped forward boldly: "Lord, my lord, these injured prisoners are rioters, they all deserve death, the jailers and jailers are all ruthless to prevent them from escaping, not for the safety of the people outside, how can you arrest them in turn and save those prisoners?" ”

"Then the official is also asking you, what kind of place is this, a prison of the Criminal Department, why is there such a secret prison that even the palace doesn't know?"

"It's—it's because these prisoners are too terrible, just in case......

Ying Shurong helped a prisoner who looked at the injury to be relatively light: "I'm afraid the cell boss doesn't know, His Highness inadvertently caught a few prisoners who escaped a few days ago, but unfortunately, he looks exactly like the current one, do you say it's a coincidence?" ”

The cell boss shook his body and retreated.

Ying Shurong snorted coldly and pushed the cell head, and as soon as the cell head retreated, he was caught by a guard: "Tie him up with these jailers, tie him tightly, don't let him escape." ”

"Yes."

"No, my lord, you can't do that to me, I can explain it, I can explain it......"

"Lord Ying!"

When the cell boss shouted anxiously, a deep voice outside covered it up, and he saw one of the guards who should be guarding His Royal Highness the Prince's side, running in, only glanced at the situation here, and said to Shu Rong: "Lord Ying, how is your handling here, if it is already well, hurry up to see the prince." ”

"Why, is Your Highness so anxious?"

Ying Shurong was a little puzzled, although His Royal Highness has a bad temperament, but the more important the matter, the stronger his patience is than anyone else, otherwise, after so many years of hell life, how can he endure it, and he can still lay out a little bit in the dark until now.

"Yes, it's a bit of a problem," the guard said slightly vaguely, "Master Bei, he's not lightly injured, Your Highness...... Waiting for you to send him the evidence. ”

Translated, His Royal Highness is now in a very, very unhappy mood, and he wants to kill people very, very much, so he quickly sends him a head, so that he can vent, so as not to affect his own people.

Ying Shurong understood Miao, and hurriedly ordered: "Go and bring all the doctors nearby, these seriously injured people are carried on stretchers, and if they are lightly injured, they will be supported, and then they will be treated well when they arrive at the execution ground, and now hurry up and go with the official, oh, these murderers are also brought." ”

From a steward who can beat and scold prisoners, to a jailer who is a perpetrator, he can only watch those prisoners who should be spurned by everyone being treated "carefully and gently", and they are rudely pushed and scolded, and there is a feeling that the world has not been transformed.

Because they have become accustomed to treating these disgraceful prisoners as garbage, they have not yet been able to get out of the distorted three views, and they don't know what they are about to face in the real world.

Only the head of the cell was as pale as a vegetable, knowing that he might be finished, and the entire criminal department would be finished.

……

"Your Highness," the guards who came first knelt in front of the chariot, "Lord Ying found a secret prison in the prison of the Criminal Department, hidden behind a wall, on a large scale, and also found many prisoners who were not in the prison, Lord Ying felt strange and brought them all up. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who heard this, didn't react, and the officials of the Criminal Department next to him were like being struck by lightning one by one, and even the Shangshu of the Criminal Department almost failed to stabilize.

"Bring them all."

Hearing His Highness's command, Shang Wen opened his mouth and had to close it again.

The people who had been waiting for a long time, because of the curiosity in their hearts and the nature of joining in the fun, not only did they gather more people, and then they waited for a group of people in prison clothes, who should be prisoners, who were carried or supported over, followed by a group of ...... A man in a jailer's costume chained.

Is this the other way around?

Because of their respect for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even if they were very puzzled by this scene in their hearts, they only discussed it a few times in private.

"Doctor, come and see, don't let them do anything." After careful arrangement, Ying Shurong went to the high platform, "Your Highness, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and the minister found several prisoners who were locked up in the secret prison of the Criminal Department that was not recorded. ”

"Oh," Fan's voice came out fairly normally, "is there anything special about these prisoners?" ”

In fact, Fan Shenxi in the gauze curtain had burst out with a strong murderous aura in his eyes, and Qiu Xiaobei, who was also in it, could feel it most clearly, while she poured tea into his cup and put it in his hand, she covered the back of his hand with her left hand, soothed him like a cat, and smirked at him to let him lose some anger.

Outside the gauze curtain, Ying Shurong got up and gestured to the guards under the stage, and the guards below looked for three prisoners, and on the other hand, they escorted the five people brought by His Royal Highness before, and put the five prisoners together.

Except for those who should have been executed, the rest looked exactly like the specially found prisoners.

There was no sound in the curtain, and there was silence among the officials of the Criminal Department, who did not even dare to breathe.

When they were about to suffocate themselves, they heard their great crown prince say slowly: "Lord Shang, do you want to tell this palace that these people who look the same are actually twins?" ”

The cold sweat on Shangshu's forehead of the Criminal Department was left on his chin, but he didn't dare to wipe it: "This, people have similar ......"

"Like so many people at once, huh?"

Shang Wen swallowed his saliva: "Yes, yes, the lower officials are also very, quite puzzled." ”

"Heh~"

A chuckle made Shang Wen's face stiffen even more, however, the prince still had the words later: "Bring the rest with you." ”

This sentence was obviously not said to Shang Wen, Shang Wen was puzzled, the right attendant behind him pulled his clothes, and asked him to look behind him in a panic, he looked at the stage again in confusion, and saw that there were five more people, and the head cover was brought up by the prince's people, kneeling next to the five people before, and then the head cover was taken off one by one.

Ying Shurong also cooperated to let people find three similar to him in the group of injured prisoners, and the two who were not found had also been recognized by the onlookers themselves, as prisoners who had been beheaded or had been confiscated to Xiliang.

"These are also twins?" Fan Shenxi asked with a smile, but that smile was creepy.

Shang Wen closed his eyes, but still said firmly: "It should be, Your Highness, the lower officials really don't know why these people you brought are so similar to the prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department." ”

He insisted that as long as no one could remove the human skin mask, then no one could say that he was guilty, and even if it was found that the person brought by the crown prince was the real criminal, he or the officials under his jurisdiction would only admit that he was wrong.

But at this time, he heard a voice in the step that was not very smooth, but the meaning was very clear: "It's okay, Your Highness." ”

After obtaining the consent of His Royal Highness, "Tong Shupei" walked out of the step.

She stood on the edge of the high platform, so that the criminals, the jailers, and even the onlookers could see her clearly.

"Everyone, all, see, now," she said not very fluently, but she tried very hard to make every word clear, "His Royal Highness the Prince, although there is a gauze curtain to cover it, but everyone, also, can still see the figure, you should know that from me, after entering His Highness and Bu Yuan, there are only me and His Royal Highness and His Majesty, so it is impossible for me to transfer it to someone else." ”

After making a statement for a while, she picked up a cup in her hand that was originally used to hold tea, and it was a blue-yellow grass juice in it, which she secretly mixed in the chariot while she was waiting for Ying Shurong to find Lao Zuo and them.

"Everybody look at it, it's optimistic."

She let the guard next to her hold the cup, because her right hand was inconvenient to exert force, and then she used her left hand to pick up a clean brush, dipped it in the grass juice in the cup, and smeared it on her face, every inch of it.

After waiting for about half an hour, she rubbed her face, and then tore off a layer of skin from the edge of her face.

The crowd was startled at first, thinking that "Tong Shupei" was crazy and tearing her face, but after a while, they found out that she was wearing a human skin mask on her face.

After tearing off the human skin mask, "Tong Shupei" is no longer what Tong Shupei looks like.

The crowd was dumbfounded, unable to think of what was going on, and even the previous discussion subconsciously quieted down.

Unlike the reaction of the people, seeing that Qiu Xiaobei could really tear off the human skin mask, the eyes of all the stand-in prisoners lit up, and they looked at her hotly one by one.

It turns out that it really can, this damn face on the face can really be torn off!

Especially Lao Zuo, because it is Lao Zuo who trusts her the most and implements her plans one by one, he hopes that Qiu Xiaobei can do it more than anyone else.

She didn't disappoint him.

Qiu Xiaobei gave the guard with the grass juice a look, and the guard went down to the stage and first applied the grass juice to the faces of the picked out "twins" prisoners, and after waiting for half an hour, they could tear off a piece of skin from their faces.

In order to verify, the grass juice was also smeared on the faces of those brought by the prince, but after a long time, their faces were still the same faces.

Because there were only two days, and it was not easy to catch the real criminals incognito and even run out of a distant place, Fan Shenxi took a lot of effort to catch these people.

But it is enough to serve as evidence.

"Lord Shang," His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said faintly, "what else do you have to say?" ”

"Lower, lower, lower officials ......"

"You can't explain it? Then let them speak. ”

Under the order of the prince, Qiu Xiaobei hid among the guards next to him, and only secretly gave Lao Zuo a look.

Lao Zuo stood up first, he had just been coated with grass juice, which would tear off the human skin mask he had worn for many years and almost forgotten on his face in front of everyone, Qiu Xiaobei found that he was not old, although the real face did not shine in the sun all year round and looked extremely white, but it could also be seen that he was about thirty years old at most, no wonder he smiled so sadly when she called him uncle at the beginning.

"Is everyone seeing clearly?"

Lao Zuo walked a few steps towards the crowd outside, because he was too excited and had been locked up for a long time, and he had often fought like that just now, his body was weak and staggered a few steps, but he still stood up straight, and pushed away the guards who wanted to help him, and asked the crowd again: "Have you all seen clearly!" ”

He pointed to himself, his eyes were red: "My name is Zuo Zeqin, I am from Mingcheng, I have to pass through three big cities and five small towns to come to Kyoto, and it takes five or six days to get there, and it takes more than half a month to take an ordinary carriage, I was a businessman, after the capital of the Great Fan Dynasty, I want to come in and have a look, and I want to buy some gifts for my wife to go back to make her happy......

At this, he raised a nostalgic smile, but tears had already flowed.

"But, but!" He suddenly shouted loudly, "I was knocked unconscious for no reason, and when I woke up, do you know where I am, in the secret prison of the Criminal Department!" Do you know what kind of place the prison of the Criminal Department is, where all the people are locked up, who are helpless in Kyoto, have no family, friends and no background, and are caught as stand-ins for criminals who have money to redeem them! ”

The scene was silent.

Lao Zuo's voice was hoarse, he couldn't help crying, holding his face and falling into the despair of the past few years: "I was put on someone else's face, taken to court, and sentenced by the adults above for a crime that was not committed by me, and I have to listen to the abuse of you people, I, I want to speak, I want to say that this is not me, but I, but I have medicine in my mouth, I can't say a word, I can't say a word!" ”

He knelt on the ground: "The real murderers, who have been ransomed with money, treasures, and power, can continue their lives outside at ease, and me? What about my wife? She's still waiting for me, she's still waiting for me at home, you devils, devils!! ”

All the prisoner-clad men who could stand up stood behind Lao Zuo, and angrily tore off the freshly smeared straw skin, some of which were bleeding from too much force.

They want justice, many years of youth buried in the endless abyss, years of grievances without nowhere to appeal, years of freedom trapped in a square inch of land, and being abused and beaten by jailers, eating glutinous meals, sleeping on wet straw, and cockroaches and mice by your side, this kind of everything that should not be borne by them, shouldn't they be given a justice?

Many people in the crowd covered their mouths, widened their eyes, raised their hands and didn't know how to put them down, all of them couldn't believe what they saw and heard.

When Qiu Xiaobei was preparing to be executed on the execution table before, there were still people who could scold her, and everyone thought she was a murderer at that time, which was understandable, but this would, they couldn't scold a word.

Because, when the things that a person can accept and bear reach a limit, any words become gray.

"Lord Shang," in the midst of the gloom below, the voice coming from Bu Yuan was particularly calm and clear, "What do you think after hearing this?" ”

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Shang Wen tried to say something more, but a violent "uproar" suddenly broke out below, and it turned out that the people who had been silent for a long time finally broke out.

Because among these people, there are actually relatives and friends of these innocent people in prison clothes, because they have been missing for a long time, they followed some clues to find Kyoto, so coincidentally, among these innocent prisoners who washed off their human skin masks one by one, there are actually relatives they are looking for.

When they thought that their relatives were so close to them, they passed by the criminal department several times in this prison in Kyoto, but they never thought that they might only be separated by a few walls, and their relatives suffered a lot in it, shouting their names dumbly, and they couldn't see or hear it, so they missed it.

What a heartache and shock it was.

So after digestion, the reaction is an outbreak, once someone explodes, the others who were ignited by these stand-in prisoners were subconsciously driven, and everyone rushed up!

Originally, the guards of the criminal department who blocked them bore the brunt, they could only retreat step by step, and were rushed into the law field by the masses, and then divided into two waves, one wave rushed to the jailer who was chained, that is, a beating, I originally thought about why Lord Ying treated the jailer like this, but now that I think about it, Lord Ying is simply too merciful, and it is not a pity for these jailers to die a hundred times.

The other wave tried to rush to the high platform to find those officials of the Criminal Department to settle accounts, the right attendant of the Criminal Department was so frightened that he hid behind the table, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department still looked like a little leader, kneeling there and not moving, but his expression was clearly afraid, very afraid.

He looked pleading at the veil, hoping that His Highness would save his life.
