Volume 1 Entering the Immortal Realm Volume 1 Entering the Immortal Realm Chapter 209 Instigation
After listening to the words, the dark scorpion looked at the bronze pillar, lowered his voice, and asked, "What about those who were arrested, where are they being held?"
After hearing this, Tong Zhu looked at the dark scorpion and thought for a while, and said, "Third brother, those mortals should be imprisoned in the south of the city, what?"
"Let's go, you and I will quietly go to find out if this Qi Xuanzheng has really collaborated with the enemy and treason, if we have wronged him, but we have to help him clear his name, if it is true, then we have to prepare in advance, if he takes the first step and makes a mistake, none of our brothers can eat and walk!"
When Tong Zhu heard this, he immediately felt that what his third brother said was not wrong, and it was impossible for the eldest brother to let the third brother suddenly come here for no reason, he must have already mastered some evidence about Qi Xuanzheng's crimes, and now he has to find a way to find Qi Xuanzheng's criminal evidence with the third brother to make up for his mistakes!
Thinking like this, Tong Zhu quietly walked out of the city guard mansion with the dark scorpion and walked towards the south of the city.
Yu Hai, the head of the cell in the south of the city, was drinking wine and eating small dishes at the door of the cell with the little official on duty at this time, and the city guard was suddenly sensitive and abnormal these days, and the slightest disturbing remarks would be arrested, some of them came from other cities and were imprisoned in the west cell, and most of the people in the city were separated into the east cell and the north cell, although they listened to the east and north cells, but the gap between them was huge.
The west cell is covered with some thatch, and the prisoners who are imprisoned in the cell are only given one porridge a day, which is very pitiful, but the east cell is different, with a long wooden board on the ground, and a layer of straw mats on the wooden board, which is quite comfortable to lie on, but the north cell is different, one by one, although it is not big, but the cells are all equipped with a bed and a table, most of the people detained in this cell are wearing silk and satin, and they are the children of rich families at a glance, and the things they eat are different, all of which are sent from the drunken flower building at the corner of the street not far away, which makes the prisoners in the cells on both sides of the cell enviousγ
And our old man Yu Haiyu can eat wine and meat with the officials these days, with side dishes thanks to the prisoners in the east cell and the north cell, the east cell is generally people from ordinary people in the city, they are also because they are curious to hear about the topic after tea and dinner, but they were caught by the passing yacha, and the family will more or less come to visit, during which they will quietly stuff a few taels of silver.
The north cell is different, it is the son of a famous family in the city, and he is also arrogant on weekdays, and he was deliberately arrested by his family, in order to see the facts clearly, not to feel what he is because he has some money, during this period, the masters of each family will send people to quietly look at the few people in the prison care, and ask them to take special care of these people.
And the west cell is full of authentic people who walk the streets and alleys with other cities to do business, and they are arrested in their spare time, and these people will be let go as soon as they have time, and they will not give them silver, and the yacha is too lazy to care about them, and let the prisoners in the west cell fight, as long as no one is killed.
It is precisely because of this that Yu Haizheng happily drank a little wine with the official on duty, thinking that tomorrow he would send some people back in civilian clothes in his paws, and it was best to arrest the sons of the rich merchants in the city, and charge them with some big and small crimes, so that he would ...... As soon as he thought of this, Yu Hai grinned and began to giggle, and the official on duty who was drinking with him saw that his immediate boss suddenly smirked, and he looked at the other party's expression and wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so he held back.
Just as the two were happily drinking, suddenly the cell door was pushed open.
Yu Hai, who was drinking and drinking, saw that the cell door was pushed open, and his heart was on fire and he shouted, 'You are not allowed to visit the prison today, you go back!'
But the other party didn't seem to take Yu Hai's words seriously, and still pushed open the cell door and walked in.
This moment made Yu Hai instantly angry, threw the wine bowl he grabbed in his hand on the table, stood up and scolded without raising his eyelids, "Why, didn't you hear Uncle Ben's words clearly, no one is allowed to visit the prison today, if you don't listen, it will be regarded as wanting to rob the prison!"
The few officials were already drunk, only to hear their old man shouting a word to rob the prison, a few people thought that someone had come to rob the prison, and suddenly exploded, some rolled on the ground to find their own swords, some leaned against the wall and just stood firm and wanted to step forward to take their weapons and then fell, anyway, no one could stand there upright.
'This is what it looks like in the cell of Hilltop City?' The dark scorpion asked as he looked at the drunken old man and looked at the bronze pillar with an angry expression.
"This, third brother, I don't come here on weekdays, everything is managed by Qi Da and Qi Xuanzheng. When the bronze pillar saw this place, he replied hesitantly.
The dark scorpion did not speak after hearing this, but turned his head to look at the cell, at this time the officials in the cell had fallen asleep because of excessive drinking, and the old man leaned against the wall, his eyes were closed, one eye was half-open and he was looking at them, and he didn't speak.
This scene made the dark scorpion turn its head angrily to look at the copper pillar, and whispered, "Fourth brother, you have been miserable by this Qi Xuanzheng!"
As soon as Tong Zhu heard the dark scorpion say this, the whole person immediately stood in place, looking at the dark scorpion in a daze, unable to say a word.
Seeing the bronze pillar like this, the dark scorpion frowned and said, "You have seen the scene in this prison, why is it like this?" This is Qi Xuanzheng's cleverness, and in terms of appearance, everyone thinks that he governs this mountaintop city in an orderly manner, but behind the scenes, you see, it has withered into such a state, and the same is true in a cell, and the garrison and the guards can imagine it, if the enemy army attacks, can the city as it was as before?"
When Tong Zhu heard this, he immediately understood why the dark scorpion was furious when he saw such a scene in the cell, and immediately nodded his head and said, "Third brother, you also know me, I really don't know that this old man Qi has calculated me to such an extent!"
"Also, look at this cell, which is full of people, what kind of consciousness do you have?" the dark scorpion asked, looking at the bronze pillar.
The simple-minded person of the copper pillar certainly looked at the dark scorpion and shook his head.
Seeing that the bronze pillar was so confused, the dark scorpion pulled the bronze pillar to the entrance of the west cell and asked inside, 'Why were you arrested?'
As soon as they heard someone outside the door asking, the pot exploded in the cell, and they all shouted loudly that they had been wronged, and it was all hearsay......
Listening to the wails and grievances of the prisoners in the prison, the dark scorpion looked at the bronze pillar whose face had changed drastically, and said, 'Let the city be corrupt, suppress the people who pass on the news, and let the people in the city live in peace and without any warning, tell me, for what?'
"If the people in the city are like this, from the government to the people, the enemy, the enemy will attack suddenly, then they can only flee in the wilderness!"
'These people can take their belongings and hide in the southern frontier of Chishui Country, the mountain top city is lost, he Qi Xuanzheng will be reused by Lu Xunguo, but what about you?Qi Xuanzheng will send someone to kill you, you escape, Chishui Country, will Xiangfu let you go? Where are you going to escape?' The dark scorpion looked at the copper pillar menacingly and asked.
Tong Zhu suddenly sat on the ground, the beads of sweat on his head couldn't stop flowing down, and he suddenly realized that if it wasn't for his third brother to find out, I'm afraid that his head would fall to the ground in a while!
As soon as he thought of this, the bronze pillar immediately knelt down in front of the dark scorpion and begged, "Third brother, third brother, you and I are brothers, third brother, you have to save me!"
"Fourth brother, get up, don't do this!" Seeing the bronze pillar like this, the dark scorpion bent down to help him up, and comforted, "Big brother sent me here to do this, you and my brother, like siblings, how can I see death and not save me!"
As soon as Tong Zhu heard that the dark scorpion was here to help him, his heart suddenly warmed, and he said gratefully, "Third brother, no matter what there is in the future, I will stand with you!"
"Without further ado, the eldest brother answered the secretary who complemented him, saying that Qi Xuanzheng was going to defect to the enemy in the next few days, because he secretly opposed the alliance of the three clans, and we must arrest him before he rebelled!"
"This is easy to do, I'll go now, this thief is arrested!" After Tong Zhu finished speaking, he went to arrest Qi Xuanzheng alone.
When the dark scorpion saw that the bronze pillar was about to mess around, he grabbed it and said, "If you go to arrest him like this, the eldest brother won't send me, and he will directly write a letter to you and ask you to arrest and kill this person." β
When Tong Zhu heard this, he seemed to think it made sense, so he asked, 'Third brother, what should we do then?'
"My eldest brother has confessed to me before I came, if you and I can find the evidence of his guilt within two days, then we will know that we will be ordered to arrest him, if not, ......" The dark scorpion said here and did not continue, but looked at the bronze pillar without saying a word.
"If not, what should I do, say it quickly, third brother, you are about to kill me, and I am about to cause a catastrophe." Seeing that the dark scorpion deliberately didn't say anything, Tong Zhu asked anxiously.
'Fourth brother, the eldest brother said that if he can't find it, he will not hesitate to kill him immediately, and let us manage this city on the top of the mountain. The dark scorpion looked at the bronze pillar and said word by word.
When Tong Zhu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled stupidly, and said, "Isn't that enough, third brother, I'll do it, the eldest brother has said it, this guy is very ghostly, and we are afraid that we will not be able to find evidence of his treason and collaboration with the enemy in two days." β
When the dark scorpion heard the bronze pillar say this, he sighed and said, "I'll do this, you can preside over the overall situation of the hilltop city, and one of us will kill the city guard of the hilltop city, and we will be arrested by the other person to appease the people in the city, and then let my henchmen pretend to escort me to the eldest brother to deal with it, and the matter will be over." β
When Tong Zhu heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded, and said to the dark scorpion, "Third brother, or the eldest brother has an idea, this method is good, that is, how can we kill that Qi Xuanzheng, the murderer is arrested and heard, and the people in the city will definitely accept it, okay, this method is good!"
"Okay, in that case, you go and let those prisoners go, let them go out and tell them what they know, and let the people know that this Qi Xuanzheng is deliberately hiding the surrounding situation for the sake of speculation, which is also in line with why I want to kill him, it turns out that he wants to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason." The dark scorpion looked at the bronze pillar and commanded.
"People, go and let it go, third brother, I still have to come to this matter, how can I let you come, and my third brother is clear about my brain, let me preside over this city, if you really want Lu Xun to attack it, I and Qi Xuanzheng will give this person away." Tongzhu looked at the dark scorpion, and said stupidly, "Third brother, you go and release them, I will go and kill that Qi Xuanzheng, you are here to arrest me and send me to the eldest brother." β
After saying that, Tong Zhu turned around and walked out of the cell.
The dark scorpion took the key in the cell door and opened the door, and the prisoners in the cell instantly rushed out and fled outside, during which several people deliberately touched each other lightly when they passed by the dark scorpion, as if they were releasing some signal.
