The eighteen prisons were dark, cold and damp, and far away from the gate, you could hear the intermittent and wailing voices coming from inside. Even on the hottest dog days of summer, water can drip cold from the roof of the shed, and as for rats and cockroaches, it is needless to say that there is no need to say more, so all the jailers who are on duty here will greet the eighteenth generation of their ancestors in their hearts.

As for why it is called Eighteen Prisons, of course, it is not because it ranks eighteenth in Qingjun, but entering here is like entering the eighteenth layer of hell, and there is no ability for a monkey to ascend to the sky, unless he is released from prison, it will be difficult to escape.

You must know that in the early years, when the situation in Qingjun was turbulent, I don't know how many martial cultivators in the heartbeat and even the clutch realm were locked up here, even if they were calling for wind and rain outside, when they arrived here, they had to lower their bodies into the dirt cracks on the ground, so being locked up here is enough to see the importance they attach to Wei San, or rather, the Li family is really hand-eyed, and can reach here.

The 18th prison is divided into three floors, one above ground and two underground.

On the top floor, the prisoners are all ordinary people, most of whom have prominent wealth outside, but because they have no cultivation, they don't need to spend too much effort on them, so the guards are slightly looser than the lower two floors, and they are more humane, and family members are allowed to visit occasionally.

On the middle floor, the martial cultivators of the quenching body and qi yuan realms are imprisoned, not only guarded by skilled jailers, but also a full set of prison equipment made of fine iron, no matter how strong you are, you can't use it.

As for the bottom layer, outsiders have no way of knowing, but occasionally rumors come out that a whole piece of fine iron is poured on the ground, and an inscription is engraved on it, which runs through the pipa bone. The people guarding outside were personally trained by Lord Xu and formed a formation, and they couldn't get out of trouble in the ordinary realm, of course, such statements were false, and they couldn't be counted long ago, which was enough to show how appalling this prison was in the ears of civilians.

Qi Sanye, no, now called Qi Laosan, is imprisoned in the first layer.

After all, the age is here, and no matter how well it is maintained on weekdays, it is not as good as that of young people, so within a few days of entering, it will be very thin. The little old man who used to be very energetic and childish, now he has become skinny and bones, and he has completely lost his spirit, and it is estimated that he will stay here for another ten days and half a month, and he is afraid that he will directly break all the bones and throw them here.

"Give me a sip of water. "In the innermost corner, the light was so dim that even the figures could be seen, and someone pleaded weakly behind the iron fence.

"Give. "The jailer in charge of the guard, although reluctantly, still threw a gourd, because of the unexpected events of the previous days, a lot of additional manpower has been sent here these days to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

When a few jailers were bored, thinking about hurrying to hand over their shifts and go out to meet the sun, at the gate, a foreman with a token came to the prison to pick up people.

"Qi San'er, Qi San'er. ”

The leader of the group shouted loudly, unwilling to stay in this hellish place for a quarter of an hour.

"Lao Zheng, why did you come here in person. A jailer hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said.

The team leader named Lao Zheng had a cold face, and the boss said unhappily: "The above said that the evidence is insufficient, let me mention it." Otherwise, if you give me two taels of silver, I don't want to come in, what's the matter, Qi San, who was locked up here a few days ago, is still alive. ”

The jailer casually stretched out his hand and pointed, "It's still angry, but if you stay for a few more days, you can't guarantee it, what's the matter, the top is going to let him go?"

"Who knows, the thoughts of big people are not something that those of us who are below can figure it out. Zheng Bantou said, and then threw the token over.

After checking and confirming that there was no problem with the token, the jailer took out the key, opened the door, and said to Qi San, who was shrinking in the innermost body and trembling unconsciously, "Okay, you can go out." ”

"Really, really?"

Wei San, whose hair had already formed a layer of dirt on his body, couldn't believe it at first, thinking that it was his auditory hallucination, but when the other party said it again, he finally reacted, and he didn't care about his appearance and demeanor at the moment, and almost crawled out with a rolling belt, and the smell of fishy smell hit his face, causing everyone here to cover their noses, this kind of smell of moldy and damp dead rats can't be suppressed even if they soak in a medicinal fragrance bath all day.

"Alright, Qi San, the order from above, you can go out. Zheng Bantou blocked his nose in disgust and said.

"Thank you, thank you. Qi San nodded, grateful, and then staggered out of the gate under the guidance of the jailer, perhaps because he hadn't seen the sun for too long, the old man was not used to the moment he went out, and he closed his eyes in place for a long time before he took another step.

The entrance of the government office.

Getting rid of the shackles and getting out of the eighteenth prison was a thing worth putting on a big table. After all, there is no need to be accompanied by snakes, insects, rats and ants inside, but Qi San stood at the door of the yamen, his expression was indescribably confused.

In the end, the little beggar singing the lotus flower on the side of the street, seeing an old man who was even more sloppy and smelly than him, finally made up his mind, and without saying a word, he walked into the distance, where it seemed to be the direction of the Su family.

......

Today, the Su family is more lively than ever, Wen Lao is getting stronger, and at such an old age, he still volunteered to come to the front to supervise the loading, which is really not easy.

The old man commanded while Zhang Luo: "Hurry up, sort out the medicinal materials and pack them, and register them, the county guard will personally give us a good errand for the Su family, if any of you dare to play tricks, I will definitely not be able to bypass him." ”

"Don't worry, Grandpa Wen. Once the village brought a few diligent children said with a smile, there are casualties every day in front, and there is a great demand for bone-setting drugs, especially the Su family Baiyao, because it is a secret recipe handed down by the ancestors, so a batch of them will be transported first to let the front-line soldiers see the effect.

"When the car is loaded, I will go to rest, and then go back to the shop in the evening to pay the reward. Wen Lao said with a smile, seeing that the children under him are growing up day by day, and sometimes he will feel that the years are unforgiving, but seeing that the Su family is thriving, and the young master and girl are all dragon and phoenix characters with great talents, he feels that it is worth it even if he is tired.

"Grandpa Wen, someone is looking for you outside. "I was busy working, and a porter came over and said.

"Who. ”

The little servant leaned into Wen Lao's ear and whispered, "It's Qi Laosan raised by a dog." ”

Old man Wen's originally kind old face suddenly became angry, and his voice was no better than just now, and he said with hatred: "He still has the face to come here, don't you see, blast him out." ”

"Okay. The little guy got the words, and just about to go to drive people, Wen Lao seemed to remember something again, and suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him and asked, "Qi San'er didn't say who he was looking for." ”

The little guy nodded and said, "I said that I was looking for Miss Mu Xin and the young master." ”

Then he lowered his voice and continued: "You don't know how embarrassed Qi Sanyi is, you can smell a rancid meal from afar, if he hadn't reported himself, I wouldn't have recognized it at all." ”

Wen Lao relieved himself and said: "God has eyes, and ungrateful things deserve to be there today." ”

"I don't want to see his face again, but if there is something serious, I will drive him away because of my personal likes and dislikes, and it will not be a big thing for the girl. ”

"The young master is far away in the barracks, and the family is full of girls in charge, I'll go and inform Mu Xin, you find a place for him to clean up, our girl is such a clear and jade person, how can you let that smell collide." ”

The little guy thought about it, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll go to the back to find a big wooden barrel, and add more caustic soda to it, so that the old thing can have a good skin." ”

When Wen Lao heard this, he was obviously very satisfied, and he smiled evilly: "Rabbit cub, his head is quite bright, let him wash it quickly, and tell him that he will be thrown out if he misses the hour." ”

"Gotcha. ”

Here is the big wooden barrel in the courtyard, wailing one after another, the caustic soda is not fake, and direct contact with the skin is really burning, but Qi San still dares to pick fat and thin at this time, so he can only grit his teeth and wash it, and change into the clothes of the Su family, although the smell is still there, he can always barely see people.

Over there, Wu Muxin was already sitting in the hall, and when Qi San limped to the hall, the woman above had not yet spoken, and Wen Laoxian, who was standing next to him, spoke out and reprimanded with a blue face: "Qi San, you also sold yourself to the Su family at the beginning, even if you get back the documents and meet the former owner of the family, shouldn't you see the courtesy?"

"That's it, it's right. Qi San, who has lost his momentum, is not only a down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, at this time, he can't care about the face and pomp, and at the age of being Wu Muxin's grandfather, he actually knelt directly on his knees, regardless of the age gap, and said: "Qi San greets Miss Wu." ”

Wen Lao obviously didn't expect him to make this move, he was stunned, and then pouted in disgust: "Something that doesn't have bones." ”

Qi San heard Wen Lao's ridicule, and didn't care at all, but he just looked at Wu Muxin, who was sitting upright and didn't express his opinion, and continued to shamelessly flatter: "I really have no way, so I will come to beg you to take me in." I Qi San knows in my heart that I have done too many sorry things for you and the Su family's lack of virtue, but please reward me for the sake of that little incense, otherwise, I will really die on the street tomorrow. ”

As he spoke, there were three knocks, and Qi San kowtowed three times directly on the ground, and this sound made Wen Lao have to praise in his heart that it was not easy to cultivate his face to this point.

"And I know the Li family's pickled things best, those ungrateful traitors, I have worked hard for their Li family for so many years, and I have done so many things, but this time, they actually wanted to kill them, if it wasn't for the early discovery of the cell boss inside, I would have died tragically in prison by now. Qi Sanyi said with a handful of snot and tears.

"So Miss Wu, if you leave me, it will definitely come in handy, not to mention anything else, the hands and feet made of those medicinal materials, where they come from, and the black-hearted human life deeds over the years, the government has insufficient evidence, but I am clear. ”

"In addition, the Su family has just been appointed by the county guard to purchase and transport medicinal materials, and I am very familiar with the corners that need to be paid attention to. As long as you can enjoy the food, I will help you identify it when the time comes, and you will definitely be able to make the Li family unable to eat and walk around. Speaking of this, Qi San is rare to see ruthless, it seems that he is very rooted in the Li family, and he eats flesh and skin, and it is difficult to understand the hatred in his heart.

Seeing this, Old Wen said to Wu Muxin uneasily: "Mu Xin girl, you can't be blinded by Qi San's words, this old thing is a well-known seller for glory, eating inside and out, let's take him in today, it's hard to guarantee that he won't stab us in the back in the future, just leave him on the street and fend for himself." ”

Because he was really indignant, the old man spat on Qi San, who was kneeling on the ground, but Qi San insisted on a spit face, and was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "I know that Brother Wen is angry in his heart, if you are still angry, give me three punches and two kicks, I promise, I will never fight back." ”

"It's just you, and you're dirty when you hit you. The old man said disdainfully.

"Hehe, brother, whatever you say is what you say. Qi San obviously had this face, he had no skin and no face, and he couldn't fight back, so that the upright old man really had nothing to say for a while.

As for Wu Muxin, who had been silent and had the final word, he looked at the old man who was kneeling on the ground with low eyebrows, thought for a moment, and finally spoke.

"Stay for now. ”

"Thank you, thank you. Qi San hit the snake and put the stick, even the owner called out, and then Ma Li got up and went below, for fear that if he stayed here for a moment longer, the girl sitting above would regret it.

Wen Lao frowned, looked at Qi San who withdrew vigilantly, but still turned his head and asked uneasily: "Girl, you are not afraid of him." ”

"Grandpa Wen rest assured, Mu Xin, has his own measure. ”

The woman smiled leisurely, and that tone was like talking to a small trader in the vegetable market about cabbage for only five cents, how dare you say that it was eight cents, everything, all in your heart.
