996 Prison Observations
The prison is set up in the capital and is directly controlled by the imperial court, which is different from the dungeon, refers to the cell above the ground, is the place where the felons are held, the prison of the Tang Dynasty is located in the Dali Temple of Yining Fang by the far gate, the prison is heavily guarded, many felons of the imperial court are imprisoned in it, it is said that some have been imprisoned for decades, and many people are locked up until they are old and locked up to death.
Liu Yuan woke up and found that he was imprisoned in a single independent small cell in the dark and dark, this small cell was only about five or six square meters, only a hay-covered bed and a covered toilet, the rest was nothing, the light of the burning torch at the entrance of the passage could barely be seen, this was a rectangular house, the middle was a passage, and the two sides were divided into cells, some cells lived more than ten people, and some cells lived three or five people, the same thing, the environment was extremely poor, and those criminals were unkempt one by one, stinks.
The sound of quarrels, screams, and begs for mercy is incessant; The smell of sweat, rotting meat, feces and urine was also faintly transmitted, coupled with the eerie and terrifying, like hell, Liu Yuan's brows wrinkled on the spot, this Li Er is too ruthless, detaining himself in such a place, is this going to kill himself?
He was also imprisoned in the prison of Yongzhou Mansion before, but at that time, there were people from the eldest grandson clan who secretly took care of him, ate well and lived well, Liu Yuan was on vacation at that time, and it was quiet inside, this prison and the prison of Yongzhou Mansion can be said to be very different, it is no wonder that those who enter the prison are all sinful people, let them enter here, naturally not let them enjoy the blessings, it is hard to imagine. The heavenly dungeon is like this, so don't the dungeon and the water dungeon still cost human life?
Li Er, this old boy. It's really ruthless.
With a creak, the thick door opened, and a jailer entered, with a knife at his waist and a stick in his hand, banging on the door from time to time, ordering them to stand up and report.
This should be a patrol. After all, the environment here is too poor, death is common here, and I live here all year round. I rarely see the sun, I eat poorly, my resistance is low, and I really have some diseases. It's easily contagious. As soon as it is found that something is wrong, it will be transferred out and isolated separately, so as not to die and become a large area.
"Official, let's drink saliva."
"Official, my legs are suppurated, can you please give me some medicine."
"Official, can you pass on a message for the little one, it must be rewarded."
Those prisoners. As soon as they saw a jailer coming, they lay down in front of the cell door one by one. Desperately screaming, deliberately currying favor, hoping to improve his life, a little jailer, as if he had become the master of this cell.
It really deserves to be a prison, and those who can enter here have a certain status or influence, either they have done something wrong, or they are standing in the wrong team, and there is another point, when these people see the jailer, they mostly want to do this, no one shouts injustice or anything, because they all know that this jailer is also a small person, and it is useless to shout injustice with him, he does not have that power at all, and if he calls it, it is better to save some energy.
"Official, has someone from my family sent something? Really, I saved another two hundred taels, okay, add a piece of pork and half a pot of turbid wine for dinner."
"Official, the small one only has one or two pieces of silver, can you exchange it for a little sulfur, and the body is very strong"
The crows in the world are as black as ever, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are trades, but I didn't expect that there would be such a deal in the prison, Liu Yuan was not surprised: what he has is silver, as long as he can use silver to solve the problem, it is not a problem.
"Bang bang bang" The jailer checked in front of Liu Yuan's cell door and said unexpectedly: "Inside, stand up and move your hands and feet." ”
Liu Yuan moved his hands and feet, approached, and said in a low voice: "This brother, can you change a room for me, it is dark and smelly here, and it is very uncomfortable, and the silver is not a problem." ”
The jailer, who was still arrogant just now, suddenly changed his face, changed his arrogance just now, and suddenly became respectful and said: "Don't dare, the small surname Fang, General Liu can call Xiao Fang, his subordinates are the henchmen of Lord Pei, and on the orders of Lord Shaoqing, I came to visit General Liu." ”
"Master Pei? Which Pei-sama? Liu Yuan said in surprise.
"Pei Jin, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, from the Pei family in Hedong, Miss Pei Jingyan, who has not passed through the door of General Liu, calls him an uncle, so he can be regarded as his own person, but it is inconvenient for Lord Shaoqing to come forward, and tell the little one to come and spread a message, so that the general can rest easy, and the general is still very safe here."
Hedong Pei's?
Liu Yuan didn't expect that there were still people in charge of Dali Temple in Hedong Pei Clan, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, this is a third-grade official, the authority is not small, this scholar clan is too powerful, it can be said that it is pervasive, no matter where they are, there are their figures active in it, no wonder Li Er is so wise and brave, known as a generation of virtuous monarchs, but there is no way to take the Shi clan, the strength and penetration ability of the Shi clan are too terrifying.
"It turned out to be my own person, this Brother Fang, can you send a message to this Uncle Pei and ask him to change the room for Liu, I am really not used to it here." Liu Yuan said in a low voice.
It's better to be your own person, so it's convenient to do anything.
"Don't hide it from General Liu, this is already a good room in the prison." The jailer surnamed Fang was a little embarrassed and said: "Besides, the general was personally ordered by the emperor to enter the prison, and he didn't dare to go too far, and asked the general to be aggrieved for the time being, I heard that the people outside have already taken action and pleaded for the general." ”
Liu Yuan said in surprise: "What, this, this is a good room?" Isn't it wrong? ”
Guard Fang continued to lower his voice and said: "General, how dare the little one have half a lie to you, different prisons have different uses, such as ordinary people committing crimes, most of them are imprisoned in the cells of county yas, most of the people in Chang'an are locked up in various martial arts shops, and the more serious ones are imprisoned in Yongzhou Mansion and the royal family are mostly imprisoned in Zongzheng Mansion, and most of the people in this prison are imprisoned by the old people of the previous dynasty or criminal officials, and it is difficult to turn over when they enter here, so the environment here is not good." ”
"This room of the general's servant, looks small and ugly, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best room here, general, this vent is located next to your room, here is the upwind outlet, so it is not bad here, it feels good, if it is in the downwind outlet, where all the stinks are blowing, it is really uncomfortable, this is one of them, the second is a single room, you don't have to live with those sloppy people, this alone is good, the third is that there is a bed here, you don't have to sleep on the ground to breathe the cold, in addition, such as the toilet with a lid, There is no need for the smell to leak out, there are no other cells, the hay is smoked with sulfur, there will be no insects and ants near, you can sleep peacefully, etc., the conditions here are like this, please let the general be aggrieved for the time being. ”
Liu Yuan's heart ran over with 10,000 grass Nima, this time it was considered to be insightful, but he didn't expect a small cell with so many twists and turns, so that the people of the Pei family can be said to be very righteous.
"That"
"The general has something to say, please command."
"Say hello to Pei Shaoqing on my behalf, if he can be released from prison one day, he must invite him to have a good meal." Liu Yuan originally wanted him to get some wine and food, but when he thought that others had arranged it so properly, he would also be thoughtful, so he didn't do much and expressed his kindness to him instead.
The jailer replied, nodded lightly to Liu Yuan, and walked straight away.
"Squeak", the cell door closed again, Liu Yuan shook his head, there was nothing to do, sighed, sat cross-legged on the Hu bed, and began to practice the exhalation technique passed by the blood knife, usually there is no time to practice, now is just right, under the boredom here, use practice to pass the time.
It was time to have dinner all the time, and Liu Yuan had just finished his practice.
Only then did Liu Yuan understand the standard food of this prison: a piece of stuff similar to steamed buns for one person, not much, the size of a fist, light and fluttering, only one or two, black and hard, break it and see, there is sand in it, and then there are two spoonfuls of things boiled into something, sparse and lala, not like porridge and not soup, there are some vegetable leaves floating on it, there seems to be some minced meat, it smells like swill eaten by pigs, and it smells sour, if you guess correctly, it is estimated that you will throw away anything, like the smell of rotten vegetables, leftover bones, Leftovers and leftovers will be stewed one by one.
No wonder as soon as I heard that I was in prison, my face changed drastically, this place is really not a human being, forcing you to ask for money from your family to improve your life, the clear water here can be sold for a sky-high price, and it is really not obtained out of thin air.
Fortunately, Liu Yuan has Pei Jin Pei Shaoqing to take care of, in addition to these things, he also stuffed him with an extra thing wrapped in paper, opened it and looked, it was rice and meat, but the rice was warm, the meat was cold, it was really meat, there was not a single small bone, Liu Yuan just shook it for a while, and soon understood: hot things are easy to float out of the fragrance, especially meat, which is easy to attract attention, the rice is warm and the meat is cold, so there is not much fragrance, wrapped in paper, it is not easy to attract attention, and there is no trace after eating.
This is the prison, it is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, it can be seen that Pei Jin is not completely controlled here, he sent his henchmen to the jailer, obviously to avoid suspicion, the prison is not shallow, and this Pei Jin is also very old-fashioned.
Liu Yuan was silent, devoured and ate, drank another bowl of clean water, and then lay down comfortably, not long after, Fang Jailer came and took away the paper and the bowl of water, for some reason, the black steamed bun and the bowl of sour soup remained, as if Liu Yuan had not moved.
Not long after lying down, the cell door was suddenly opened, Liu Yuan smelled a strange fragrance while lying on the bed, stood up and took a look, only to see the cell door wide open, and two people with incense opened the cell and walked back and forth, obviously, they wanted to use incense to drive away the smell in the cell, Liu Yuan's heart was like a mirror:
This is not to improve the lives of the prisoners, it is clear that there are big people who are going to patrol here. (To be continued......)
