Walk along the east gate of the palace, through two avenues, there is a large courtyard.

There are no rockeries in the courtyard, no elegant lotus ponds, no majestic glass, only diamond statues that are not angry and self-threatening, and solemn and oppressive gray walls.

This is the Datang Criminal Department.

The two most famous places of the Criminal Department are the public trial hall that represents fairness and strictness, and the prison of the Criminal Department that purgies and exterminants. In the deepest part of the prison, a three-story high-rise is particularly eye-catching, like a crane independent of the flock.

"Crane" has a well-known name, which is called Heavenly Prison.

Cheng Yunhe and the sixth prince, Qin Yue, were imprisoned in the prison at this time.

It stands to reason that the place where the Criminal Department is located should be regarded as the Datang Center, and Ding Xingwang should be the person. However, the empty streets and sporadic lights are silently revealing the withering and bleakness here.

But anyone with a bit of status will never settle down in such a depressing place. According to people who have been forced to live here for a long time, it is common to hear chilling wails during the third watch, and it is not known whether the public officials of the Criminal Department are executing prisoners, or whether the souls who have died here are still recalling the suffering they suffered in their lives.

Ninety percent of these unjust souls come from the heavenly prison. Because there is always a saying in Datang: There is no way to live through the prison, and you can't be reincarnated in the church.

The moon is dark and the stars are scarce, and the north wind is bleak.

Cheng Caixi, who was dressed in a black suit, walked alone on the empty and lonely street on the cold night.

The corners of her eyes still have long black lines outlined by eyebrow pencils, and her fair and pretty face is still charming. Such a face should make all beings upside down, but there is no expression at the moment.

She knew that with every additional step, she was one step closer to death.

People say that only those who have exhausted the oil lamp like to think crankily, and at this moment she has fallen into this state.

She couldn't help but wonder: what does Huangquan Road really look like? Is Meng Po soup good or not? What will your parents be like when you are reincarnated in the future? Will you meet a mother who loves you?

And also... Will you forget the shadow that always wears a wicked smile?

Countless question marks, countless pictures, filled my mind with chaos. She began to miss those good days, whether it was loved by her father or angry with Tang An, it was so precious.

She really wanted to continue this neglected happiness, and if she was allowed to live again, she promised to spend every day with great cherishment, no more tantrums with her father, no more mocking her brother for being useless, and no more stabbing Tang An's decisive sword.

Unfortunately, the past is gone.

In the face of the cruel reality, all she can do is fight with all her might, and she will not let the rest of her life spend the rest of her life in remorse, and feel ashamed of her biological father's tragic death in front of her eyes and her indifference.

No matter what the outcome will be, at least as a child...... She tried.

The black boots stepped on the hoarfrost condensed by the bluestone slabs, making a soft "rustling" sound. With a firm and powerful step, the cold houses around him slowly retreated, and in a short time, the entire street was crossed.

The gray courtyard of the Criminal Department is guarded like a hideous guard with a huge mouth open, waiting for it to be sent into its belly like a gluttonous delicacy.

But the eldest lady was not afraid, and her steps were as calm and resolute as before.

In front of the gate, next to the two stone lion statues, two saber guards in official uniforms are still doing their duty. But the tiredness on their faces revealed that they didn't regard goalkeeping as an important errand.

Over the years, no one has ever challenged the authority of the Tang Dynasty. They only remember the awe on the faces of passers-by when they passed by these two red gates for many years, but they didn't remember that someone dared to break into this Tang cage single-handedly.

Tonight was destined to be an exception, for a woman dressed in black was walking straight at them.

The guard on the right hurriedly greeted him, raised his spirit and stared at the uninvited guests who came from afar, and when he saw the appearance of the person who came, his expression was slightly stagnant.

It was a woman—a very beautiful woman.

It's a pity that they don't have time to appreciate the beauty of women.

The three long swords behind her back had already made the guards smell danger. Almost simultaneously, they pulled out their pockets and gripped them tightly on the hilt.

"The criminal department is heavy, and the idle people are waiting to leave quickly!"

A faint smile rose at the corner of Cheng Caixi's mouth, this sentence was too familiar, and she realized that it was so different from what she said from her mouth and what she sounded with her ears.

Ten meters away from the gate, stop.

The cold wind lifted the hair on her forehead, revealing a delicate face that was even more moving than Mingyue.

"I'm not an idler."

Cheng Caixi's jade lips spit lightly, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to the two gates: "My name is Cheng Caixi, I belong to Feitianmen, and I am also a prince of the imperial court." Logically speaking, trespassing should never have happened to me, but at this moment, I am no longer a mere court man - there is a man who is very important to me who has been wronged and locked behind these two gates, and if I do nothing, he may die in a few days, so I have to save him. ”

After hearing this, the two guards were shocked.

It's not because of her filial piety, but because she said it in such an understatement from the trespassing department, like a conversation between neighbors.

But it's not hard to understand - she wants to rob the prison!

Who are the people in the Flying Heaven Gate, the entire court knows. And there is a female devil with outstanding appearance in the Feitian Gate, I am afraid that the people of the entire capital will not be unfamiliar.

"Choke!"

The two of them drew their knives out of their sheaths, their faces solemn as never before. The identity of this woman made them feel like a mountain of pressure.

It is undeniable that she is indeed beautiful, but as far as they know, her martial arts are better than her looks.

The duke on the right said coldly: "Miss Cheng, we don't know about Ling Zun's situation, and I am deeply sympathetic to your plight." But where it is our duty, I hope you don't embarrass us. ”

Such an answer was already expected by her, Cheng Caixi sighed, shook her head slightly, and said: "Everything I have was given to me by that person, I don't have a relative, and I can't live without another." So now it's not me who is embarrassing you, it's you who are embarrassing a desperate woman. ”

The guard on the right side persuaded bitterly: "Miss Cheng, you and I are both working for the imperial court, I hope you don't make mistakes." ”

Cheng Caixi shook his head and didn't say anything more. The slender and white jade hand had reached behind his back and slowly pulled out the long sword on the far right.

When the two guards saw the weapon behind her, they couldn't help frowning secretly, realizing that they still underestimated Cheng Caixi's determination to save people.

The reason why she brought three swords was because one sword would roll up if it blocked too much.

It is impossible for a person who does not put life and death aside from making such a choice to die with the enemy.

This woman has gone insane.

"Enemy attack!"

The guard on the left ripped open his throat and shouted with all his might, in a vain attempt to alert his companions in the courtyard. To stop a female demon who risked his life, he had no chance of winning.

Under the moonlight, on the T-shaped street, a woman dressed in black stood as straight as a pine, and her pretty face was full of determination.

Gently closed his eyes, and revisited Tang An's smiling face in his mind. When the last stream of warm blood flowed through the atrium, Cheng Cai opened his eyes suddenly.

The temperature of the entire street dropped suddenly, and Cheng Caixi, who was with a horizontal sword, no longer had the aura of fireworks, but was replaced by endless killing intent.

"Offended!"
