Chapter 445: Heavenly Prison
Liu He nodded on the surface, but kept cursing in his heart.
What is against the imperial court, it is clearly against Cao, no wonder no one in the court dares to stand up and say it bluntly, it turns out that those loyal ministers are locked up here.
Following the old eunuch through an extremely narrow staircase, the three of them came to the underground of the prison together.
As soon as he walked in here, Liu He obviously felt that it was different from the upper floor, even the architectural style had changed, it was still like a prison cell, it was like a separate private room.
Only one thing, this is underground, there are no windows in the walls, and you can only see the road under your feet by the faint light of the oil lamp.
The prisoners here also appear to be treated differently, and although they are still in prison, they are apparently not subjected to torture.
Liu He walked through the door of a cell, and through a glimmer of light, he saw a person sitting in the corner of the wall, the clothes on his body were quite clean, but his hair was scattered, and it looked like he hadn't combed for a long time.
The man heard the sound of footsteps, raised his eyes to look at Liu He and them, and suddenly laughed wildly, "It's finally here, it's finally here, come on, don't think about going out!" ”
Liu He couldn't help frowning, only then did he understand that this person was crazy.
"Don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." The old eunuch who walked in front said without looking back.
Liu He hurriedly retracted his gaze and looked ahead, but unexpectedly, the man pounced on him, grabbed the cell door and asked viciously: "Say!" Who sent you? It's Dong Zhuo, it's Cao Cao, or my brother! ”
Liu He didn't dare to turn his head to look at the person again, but he kept thinking about the identity of this person in his heart.
But he racked his brains, and he didn't think of anyone who had offended Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period and was imprisoned, let alone who the younger brother he was talking about was.
The old eunuch seemed to notice something, suddenly stopped, and coldly threw down a sentence, "If you shouldn't think about it, you can't think about it." ”
Liu He was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly retracted his thoughts, and stood honestly in place, not daring to move.
The old eunuch then took another step forward, and led the two of them through an extremely long passage to the innermost cell on this floor.
"From this day forward, you two will be responsible for taking care of his food and daily life," said the old eunuch, glancing at the prisoner in prison, "Remember, be careful not to slip up the slightest." ”
Liu He said cautiously: "Don't worry, we will definitely do what you ask, it's just an errand for our imperial dining room......"
The old eunuch waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this, there is the imperial dining room, I will send someone to say that from now on, you will do this errand with your heart." ”
Liu He wanted to ask again, how long was this errand going to be, but he remembered the old eunuch's sentence just now that he shouldn't ask, and the words that had already reached his lips had to be swallowed back into his stomach.
"If there is anything, you just tell the jailer to do it, you just have to take care of him, the jailer will not come here without your orders, but you must remember that when you are fine, you must wait quietly." With that, the old eunuch left here as Liu He had expected just now.
As soon as the old eunuch left, Liu He immediately began to sort out the information in his hand.
The most favorable situation at the moment is that no one else can easily approach here except for him and the little old man.
The most unfavorable situation is that this is the deepest part of the prison, and no one else can come, but they can't get out.
Taken together, these two can lead to another conclusion.
The one in the cell is certainly not an ordinary person.
Cao Cao risked the same crime as trespassing, built this prison in the palace, and specially built the underground layer of this prison, and also locked this person in the deepest part of this layer, and sent people to eat and drink to serve, which shows that this person is extremely important to Cao Cao.
But who is this person?
Liu He thought and couldn't help but look into the cell.
In the dim light, there was a person sitting, judging from the silver hair, it should be an old man.
The old man sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, but he was smiling, and he looked very energetic, not at all like a prisoner trapped in a deep prison.
"It's hard work, why don't you come in and sit down?"
At the same time as Liu He looked at the old man, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and said to Liu He and the little old man with a smile.
Go in and sit? As soon as Liu He heard this, he sighed, it seemed that this old man was just as crazy as the man with scattered hair he had just seen.
The little old man seemed to have a good impression of this old man who was about the same age as himself, and said politely: "We really want to go in and sit, but we don't have the key in our hands, so we can't get in." ”
The old man smiled, did not speak, stood up directly, walked to the door of the cell, and with a light push, the door opened.
Liu He was dumbfounded, this is a felon who is guarded in the deepest part of the prison?
The little old man's eyes also widened, and he began to speak a little incoherently, "This ...... You...... Door...... How to ......"
The old man looked at the stunned two, twisted his long beard and said, "What? Won't you two come in? ”
Liu He thought about it, and the old eunuch said that he should serve this person well, and now he walked in so recklessly, it was a little inappropriate.
But after thinking about it, apart from them, those jailers here don't dare to come over easily, and no outsiders know about it anyway, what are you afraid of?
Besides, they are not real eunuchs, and they don't have to worry about offending the old eunuch, so it's a big deal to make another trouble and sneak out of the palace while the chaos is there.
Thinking of this, Liu He gave a fist to the old man and strode in.
Liu He and the old man sat opposite each other, but the little old man walked around the cell by himself, seemingly interested in this place.
The old man glanced at the little old man and said with a smile: "It seems that this father-in-law has come to the prison for the first time." ”
The little old man didn't reply: "That's not it, don't talk about this prison, even this palace ......"
The old man seemed to notice something, and his brows furrowed suddenly.
Liu He hurriedly said loudly: "Even this palace, he has just arrived. ”
The old man's face softened slightly, and he said softly: "The Huang Gonggong who brought you here just now is a good person." ”
How did Liu He know what the old eunuch's surname was just now, and when he heard the old man say this, he knew that his surname was Huang, so he had to echo casually: "What you said is that Huang Gong is kind to us people on fair days, and he never scolds him easily." ”
"Oh?" The old man was obviously a little surprised, "This Huang Gonggong is in charge of the life and death of all the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and it is really rare to be so benevolent and righteous." ”
