In ancient times, if you wanted to kill someone, you would put him in prison. The eighteen layers of hell that people often call are the true portrayal of prison.

Ma Chao didn't know this, thinking that after coming in, he was trying to find a way to get out.

When I came in, I realized that this was hell on earth. When he entered, he was twisted and thrown into a cell. The cell is made of large bluestone, gloomy and cold, there is a railing at the main entrance, the railing is about the thickness of the bowl, all of them are soaked in oil, black and shiny, not to mention, there is a pungent smell.

In some cells, the prisoners in them had been beaten and crippled, and they were lying on the ground limply, some lying on their stomachs, some facing the sky, all of them were soaked with urine and urine in prison clothes, and the whole cell was filled with stench.

There are also female prisoners, in this era, women still pay attention to three obedience and four virtues, women would rather die than lose their chastity, but when they become prisoners, they are not chaste.

The two men lowered the prison uniform of a female prisoner to their knees, beat them with bamboo sticks, and when they heard the female prisoner humming weakly when they were beaten, they reached out to touch it and insulted them wantonly.

Ma Chao was thrown into the cell, and before he could sit down, he heard the prisoner next to him say: "If you have food, you want me to eat first, I am full, I am in a good mood, I will reward you, and you can eat." ”

This prisoner, like a horse pole, must have been here for a long time, and his eyes were full of the kind of fierce light that would do anything to survive. Ma Chao didn't argue with this prisoner, so he smiled and nodded yes, asking if there were other prisoners in this cell?

The prisoner said, "Yes, yesterday there was a merchant who was convicted of not giving money to the official, and after bringing it in, he was still waiting for the case to be overturned."

As a result, within a few days, he was hung with a scale, did not survive, and died.

Ma Chao pretended to be startled, and hurriedly asked, what is Libra? According to the description of the prisoner on the horse, the scale is to order a wrist-thick pole on the ground, with a hook on it, and the hook has a crossbar like a scale, and the prisoner has to kneel on the ground, and his arms are screwed behind his back, tied with a thin hemp rope, and hung on the crossbar, so that if the prisoner does not stand up, his head will be kept low, and he will slowly become engorged, and sooner or later he can't help it, so he wants to stand up, and then the official who sees it hits the board fiercely until he kneels.

If you are hung for six hours like this, all those with strong physical strength will pass out, and those with weak physical strength and those who struggle a lot will be beaten a lot, and if you can't get through it, you will die.

After the horse pole prisoner finished speaking, he also looked at Ma Chao's weak body and added: "You can't get through it, dinner is your death date, and your food is a waste." ”

Ma Chao counted the hour with his fingers, it should be less than an hour, and he originally wanted to think of a way at night or wait for Wang Wu to visit, but he really underestimated the darkness of the ancient prison, thinking that he might be tortured, but he didn't expect that it was not so simple to use torture, he was killed directly, and when the time came, Lord Yang said that he just hit a few boards and died. No one else can say anything.

No wonder those heroes and heroes are forced to go to Liangshan, the cell is so dark, who dares to stay. Ma Chao couldn't think of a good way for a while, he was anxious like a donkey pulling a mill, circling around in the cell, and the prisoner with a horse pole watched coldly beside him, sneering and saying, If your family doesn't provide some silver, you can't escape.

Ma Chao glanced at the prisoner and said that this time the silver was not easy to use, because it offended Lord Yang. When the horse pole prisoner heard this, he sighed, and then he said, Brother go, the head is off, a scar the size of the bowl, and eighteen years later he is a good man again.

Ma Chao looked at the horse pole prisoner, and the horse pole prisoner was stared at by Ma Chao's sharp eyes, so he sighed helplessly, saying that he was also wrongly in, relying on his strong body, and he only survived for a few months.

Ma Chao asked the horse pole prisoner, what did he do before, the horse pole prisoner said that it was a dart master, because he passed through Xianping Mansion, he did not give Yang Lord silver, and it was found that he was carrying contraband, and there were a lot of contraband in ancient times, and even selling salt was illegal. Some state capitals are listed more for corruption and bribery. And Lord Yang, because of his relationship with the crown prince, is even more unscrupulous, almost saying that he is forbidden.

Ma Gan said that he wanted to rely on his strong martial arts and escape, but he didn't expect that Lord Yang would hide it deeply, break up Ma Gan's internal morale, and turn Ma Gan into a waste person, and that batch of goods was also confiscated. Later, someone from the dart bureau came and gave Lord Yang silver and took the goods back, because the horse pole prisoner was scrapped, and the dart board didn't want to spend money to ransom a waste person, so the horse pole prisoner was still here, fending for himself.

Fortunately, Lord Yang didn't take special care of the horse pole prisoners, and the horse pole prisoners have survived until now with their own foundation.

When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the pharmacist wanted to buy beauties for Lord Yang from other houses, it turned out that this Lord Yang was so dark, originally Lord Yang was here to exploit the people, regardless of Ma Chao's affairs, but from the situation of Lord Yang and King Yu singing and harmonizing, King Yang just wanted to deceive himself into prison.

Ma Chao also naively thinks that if King Yu wants to save the shadow, he really underestimates the heart of the emperor's brother, in the emperor's brother, anyone is a chess piece, as long as it is useful, what does it matter if he sacrifices.

At this time, it is not realistic to expect Wang Wu to come, Wang Wu must be the same as he thought, and deal with the shadow first. At this time, King Yu is forcing himself to rebel, as long as he rebels, he will immediately send absolute force to suppress himself, not to mention that his martial arts are disguised, even if it is Wang Wu, in the face of an army, there is no reason to win.

Ma Chao really has nothing to do this time, could it be that he died unjustly in the cell like this in this life, Ma Chao just had this thought, and he heard a cat meow. When I looked up, a big tanuki jumped in from the height of the cell, through a narrow square window.

The older generation said that the cat was a traitor, but this cat, Mrs. You from the boudoir to the marriage, a total of eight years, in these eight years, Mrs. You has been raising this cat as a son, and the animal also has feelings, even if it is called a traitor, there is also this kind of family affection beyond the species.

Originally, the cat had no way to deal with people, but this time, the cat seemed to understand a problem, that is, Ma Chao could understand what it meant, and this cat was here for revenge.

Ma Chao held the cat in his arms and muttered quietly while stroking its fur. The horse pole prisoner stared at it, and as soon as Ma Chao's muttering stopped, the big civet cat immediately jumped out of Ma Chao's body, and turned back from where he came from in a few clicks, and the horse pole prisoner opened his mouth to look at Ma Chao and asked, can you communicate with animals?

Ma Chao was about to answer, when he heard the official shouting with a broken gong, a man with a cloak walked in front of the cell, he looked at Ma Chao, and suddenly laughed happily.

Ma Chao listened to the laughter, frowned and said, grass, why are you again?
