Section 12: The prison of the Criminal Department
Ye Lan and Wang Baoxiu fell in love very much, and when they saw him besieged, they wanted to help, but Mo Yao came down the mountain this time to subdue demons and subdue demons, so he didn't even want to interfere in the factional disputes of other righteous paths, and he preferred to ignore the idle affairs of the Jinjing Imperial Court, Ye Lan didn't want to brush her mind, so he endured it and didn't make a move. Later, Jiang Ying killed Juan'er's mother, Ye Lan failed to stop it in time, and he regretted it, he had already made up his mind to find Jiang Ying's bad luck, this time he heard Mo Yao also say that he wanted to avenge Juan'er, he was very happy in his heart, and said secretly: " You were the Governor's Mansion back then, and you would rather disobey the strict orders of the master, and even use the second brother's red axe to destroy the immortal weapon and detain the gods, and also go down the mountain to kill the enemy, you are determined to pay attention to what you want to do, so you don't even care about the risk of being executed by the door rules, how can you really care if it will cause a little trouble to Taixumen? Just let these people besiege Wang Baoxiu, I think you have been strong and patient, and now you are aroused by Juan'er's little girl, but how can you still bear it? Hmph, this is the best, if you don't twist off Jiang Ying's miscellaneous head and kick it as a ball, Lao Tzu won't be able to swallow this evil breath in his heart!"
The two walked slowly and came to the place where everyone was fighting. There was a crowd of people in the night market, but Wang Baoxiu and others beat the wall through the house, and the movement was really not small, which naturally attracted more people to watch. Jiang Ying and the others immediately retreated after capturing Wang Baoxiu, and only a few collapsed houses were still in place. Ye and Mo separated the crowd and walked closer, and saw that the place where Juan'er's mother's corpse was originally on the ground was charred black, and it could be slightly seen that it was a human form, knowing that Qin Yongting and the others casually put a real fire when they left, turning the corpse into flying ashes. Ye Lan looked at the figure on the ground, sighed softly, and said secretly: "Poor this woman is sitting at home with her husband and daughter in a good manner, enjoying the joy of family, although she knows that in less than half an hour, she will end up with no bones, life is impermanent, nothing more than that." β
He didn't know where to find Jiang Ying, so he asked Mo Yao, "Where are we going to find that guy to avenge Juan'er?"
Mo Yao frowned and pondered for a moment, and said softly: " Just listened to their words, Brother Wang is the remnants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was the faint monarch himself who ordered to arrest him, such a felony, caught and naturally sent to the faint monarch to be sent down, but now the night is deep, I have heard for a long time that this faint monarch is extremely lustful, every night I have to take the red pill refined by the monk with a secret method, turn over the brand of seven or eight concubines in one breath, gather together to open an uncovered assembly, and calculate it by the hour, at this time, the faint monarch is fighting fiercely, it is a big thing, and no one dares to disturb at this time, Brother Wang is now captured, he must be taken into the prison first, and then he will be escorted to meet the faint monarch tomorrow morningγ Since we have made up our minds to pick Jiang Ying's head, we are going to cause trouble, so it is better to be a favor and rescue Brother Wang first, maybe we can just run into Jiang Ying's guy. β
Ye Lan originally wanted to save Wang Baoxiu, but when he heard Mo Yao mention it first, it was exactly what he wanted. The two people did not know where the prison of the Ministry of Punishment was located, but it was very easy to inquire about such things, Ye Lan found a beggar's nest, picked a shrewd-looking little beggar, and gave him a piece of silver, and the little beggar happily took the two of them through the streets and alleys, and after a while they came to a mansion, the gate of the yamen was open, the torches in the courtyard were bright, the outside and inside of the door were full of guards, and there were monks wandering back and forth in the air, and the guards were very strict.
The little beggar led the two of them here, bowed to Ye Lan, and said in a low voice: "The two immortals want to do a big deal, and the small shrimp can't withstand such a big storm, so let's take their leave!"
Walk away.
Ye Lan and Mo Yao did not show their magical powers, and this little beggar was really a little shrewd to be able to guess that the two of them were monks. Ye Lan waited for him to go away, then turned around and asked Mo Yao: "There are monks guarding this prison, maybe there is a formation in the courtyard, how can we get in?"
Mo Yao looked up at the monk in the air, contemplating his eyebrows, but there was no good way for a while, suddenly he heard the sound of hooves, and two officials in the distance rode horses slowly, at this time the night market was not dispersed, the street was full of lanterns, the street was full of pedestrians, the two officials were blocked by the road, and they felt impatient, waved the long whip in their hands, and pumped straight down at the passers-by in front of them, shouting: "Don't get in the way, get out of the way, delay the official business, can you afford to be offended!"
Mo Yao saw the two officials coming, his eyes rolled, he already had a plan, leaned towards Ye Lan, stretched out his hand and pointed at one of the officials, and whispered in his ear: "Chasing souls for thousands of miles." β
Ye Lan saw that the two officials had arrived at the yamen, and agreed softly, and the magic tricks of his hands changed, and he had already cast a thousand-mile soul chasing spell on the official on the left.
Mo Yao saw that he had succeeded in casting the spell, took his hand and turned around, looked for a secluded corner to stop, looked down at the phantom shadow in his palm, and saw two officials pulling the reins and dismounting at the yamen, and a guard at the door had already stepped forward and shouted: "What are you doing!"
The official on the left heard the guards shouting so loudly, frowned, and was very displeased, and the official on the right said: "Dali Temple heard that the remnants of the Prime Minister's Mansion were caught, and specially sent us to take a look and ask the prisoner a few words." β
When the guard heard this, he did not relax his vigilance at all, but still shouted: "The prison is going to be criminal, and the idle people are not allowed to visit!"
The official on the left snorted coldly, took out an object from his arms, and said sharply: "The token of Dali Temple is here, let it go quickly!"
The guard was stunned for a moment, took the token and examined it carefully, suddenly the ground was relaxed, he returned the token with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Since it is the token of Dali Temple, please do the two of you." It's just that now Shang Shu, Shilang, and several immortals in the palace are interrogating the prisoner, and the two of them are going in now, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. β
When the official on the right heard this, his face changed slightly, and he asked, "Before the holy decree was issued, how did the criminal department try the prisoner first?" he turned to his companion and said, "Let's go in quickly, don't be late......"
The officer on the right almost nodded and broke into the door, but the guards did not dare to stop them, and let them rush straight in. The two officials were obviously very familiar with the prison of the criminal department, and they held the token all the way, passed through the front yard, came to the place where the heavy soldiers were stationed in the back yard, entered the main gate of the prison, zigzagged forward, and went down the stairs. The cell was very large, and there were more than a dozen people standing in the cell, all looking at a prisoner who was locked to the wall, the prisoner was covered in blood, and his expression was aggrieved, in addition to the heavy flail iron rope, his hands and feet were also wrapped with cold spider ropes, white spider ropes and black iron ropes were entangled, and the prisoner was wrapped like a rice dumpling. This person hung his head, his body was stained with blood, and it was obvious that he had been tortured, Ye Lan approached his palm, carefully identified the phantom in his palm, and only then did he confirm that the person was Wang Baoxiu.
Seeing that Wang Baoxiu was tortured so badly, Ye Lan couldn't help but snort angrily and said softly: "How can these officials be so vicious!"
Mo Yao said lightly: "Brother Wang is fine now, he has neither broken his hands and feet, nor cut his nose and eyes, this."
The assistant official was thinking that he would take him to face the saint tomorrow, and he was already merciful. β
Ye Lan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard him say that he would cut out his nose and gouge out his eyes, and asked, "A-Yao, are you...... How do you know about their cruelty?"
Mo Yao said: "The world is as black as a crow, I have been in the Governor's Mansion for several years, I have seen a lot of such things, what is so strange?"
While the two were talking, the two officials had already come to the crowd in the cell interrogate Wang Baoxiu, and the official with a token in his hand stepped forward, bowed to a fat official in official uniform, and said, "I have seen Lord Shangshu in my humble position. β
The fat man nodded slightly, but did not speak, the official of Dali Temple straightened up, put away the token, glanced at the people around the fat Shangshu, and arched his hand to everyone: "I have seen Lord Shilang, I have seen all the immortals." β
Ye Lan followed the official's gaze, and saw that there were only two people in this prison wearing official uniforms, and he was called by him, these two people were obviously the Shangshu and the squire of the criminal department, and the immortal chief in his mouth was the person who captured Wang Baoxiu tonight.
Mo Yao saw that Jiang Ying was also among them, and from time to time she touched her chest with her hand and coughed lightly, obviously hurting a lot. Seeing this, Mo Yao snorted lightly and said: "I didn't expect that the skill of this surnamed Jiang is not bad, he was hit by my full strength, but he didn't suffer much serious internal injuries, but his spear magic weapon couldn't withstand the sharpness of the Cold Moon Shovel, and his spiritual power was greatly damaged. This guy is injured and can't go home to take the pill to recuperate, but he has to come to this prison to torture the prisoner, hmph, he will not escape justice today!"
Na Shangshu and a group of monks were torturing Wang Baoxiu, and were interrupted by two officials of Dali Temple, and the fat Shangshu glared at the two and said: "This official has something to ask this prisoner, what is the matter with Dali Temple, and it will not be too late to talk later." Without waiting for the two to reply, he turned around and said to Wang Baoxiu: "Baoxiu, I advise you to say it early, so as not to suffer piecemeal." β
Wang Baoxiu listened to his question, reluctantly raised his head, laughed dryly, and hissed: "Master Li, you don't have to be so affectionate, the grass people are disgusting to hear!"
Li Shangshu looked embarrassed, groaned slightly, and muttered: "Baoxiu, I have called you like this since you were a child, how can you call it now, hey, the holy will cannot be violated, you better hurry up and ......"
Wang Baoxiu didn't wait for him to finish, suddenly snorted, smacked hard, and a mouthful of blood and saliva sprayed on Li Shangshu's face, only to hear him say hatefully: "Li Danyang! Before you still have the face to mention it, you ask yourself, how does your father treat you?"
The jailers on both sides were furious when they saw Shangshu being humiliated, and they waved the long whip in their hands, and slapped a few times on Wang Baoxiu's body.
Li Danyang waved his palm, signaled the jailer to stop, and then reached out and took out a silk handkerchief, gently wiped it on his face, wiped the blood on his face, and then chuckled: "Baoxiu, you have been peaceful since you were a child, and you rarely fight with others, but you are really initiated, but you are stubborn, and you are not afraid of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect that after so many years, it has not changed at all......
