Chapter 61: Completely Hit
Along the way, Mu Yingbao guessed where she would be sent.
A remote mountain village or village is never a prison cell. If that's the case, there's no need to toss this time, there are many large and small yamen near the capital, and there are many prison cells, so why bother to go far.
However, I didn't expect it to be such a place.
The tall castle towers and walls are all made of granite, so let's just say that from this position, you can't see any other buildings inside.
And, strangely, in broad daylight, the bronze gates were closed.
On the tall city walls, only the red tassels on the tips of the helmets worn by the soldiers could be seen.
Outside the city gate, there stood a dozen soldiers in armor and full armor, and the line was more upscale than the escort she had brought here.
One by one, I don't know if they were deliberately chosen, or because they have been standing here all the year round, and they are all fierce and vicious regardless of their long and round faces.
Just looking at it like this, Mu Yingbao chuckled in her heart.
What kind of place is this? How can it seem more exaggerated than the places where felons are held in foreign blockbusters in movies?
It's really a drop of granite, just a meter square, Mu Yingbao thinks it's useless to bombard it with a cannon. Just looking at the appearance, it gives people the feeling that it is particularly strong and strong.
If you are imprisoned, there is no way to escape! Unless it's winged!
"Director Rong, I have been ordered to send it, please write a signature." The general who escorted Mu Yingbao stepped forward and said to one in front of the city gate.
The man still had a straight face, looked at Mu Yingbao, nodded, turned around and walked to the city gate, and quickly came out and handed over a piece of paper.
The general who escorted him saw it, rolled up a small bamboo tube and stuffed it into his body, sealed it, waved to his own people, got on the horse and left, and didn't even mean to rest here for a while.
Mu Yingbao heard the movement and turned to look, and saw a group of people leaving, as well as a few packages thrown on the ground, and a child who was also stunned with a small package on his back and a broken jar in his arms.
"Mu Yingbao? Xue Yunhui? ”
A fierce voice sounded, and Mu Yingbao and Brother Hui immediately turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.
"No matter what your identity was before, now you have to abide by the rules of the ghost city when you come to the ghost city, hurry up and bring your things into the city." The person who spoke was Rong Changfa, who had just handed over to the escort officer, and the director of Youcheng who was in charge of the outer guards.
Town? What the hell is a ghost city? Isn't it really a prison? Mu Yingbao's side was a little foggy, but she still obediently picked up the package on the ground, tied it with a strap, and followed the man to the big city gate.
What can you do if you don't behave, run? Can outrun these soldiers?
The great gate of the city was not opened, but a small gate on the side.
Director Na Rong did not go in, but explained to a man who was nearly fifty years old inside, and let Mu Yingbao and the others enter.
When I walked inside, Mu Yingbao deliberately looked at the small door, I went, it was three inches thick, and I could hear that the door was solid by listening to the creaking sound of the door closing. Moreover, there are about five meters between the gates, and there are three such small doors.
Every time they passed through a door, someone immediately dropped a bolt behind them, and what was even more exaggerated was that there were six wrist-thick latches in the upper and lower rows, each of which had a fist-sized copper lock.
Each door has a special handle, and each copper lock also has a person responsible for unlocking, that is, the six locks on a door are closed by six people, and if you want to open a door, you have to let six people take out six keys.
It means that if you want to escape from it, you have to get eighteen people from three gates and get eighteen keys!
Seeing this, Mu Yingbao's heart was cold, and she completely gave up the idea of finding a chance to escape from here, it will definitely not work here!
"I am the household manager of the hidden city, see that your mother and son are pitiful, I would like to advise you, you should do your duty, don't think about escaping, the hidden city was built a hundred years ago, and no one has escaped until today.
Digging tunnels? Dozens of meters below this city wall are also copper walls and iron walls, so don't bother your mother and son. The old man saw Mu Yingbao looking at the ground at the base of the city wall, and after saying it with an expressionless face, he never said a word again.
Mu Yingbao said in her heart, this old man can read minds? How did he know I wanted to dig a tunnel?
However, before he could get disheartened, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
What does it mean that the city is a city?
That is, when you look at the fortified castle from the outside, you don't expect it to look exactly like an ordinary town inside.
The streets, lined with shops, stalls, firewood sellers, and candy blowers...... The pedestrians on the street look no different from ordinary people.
The people on the street saw Mu Yingbao and her mother led by the household manager, although they could see that they were very curious, but they just looked at them and looked away.
Even if it was a brief glimpse, Mu Yingbao knew that they knew what was going on.
After walking a little down the main street, he turned into an alley, walked uphill for a while, and finally stopped in front of a fenced yard.
"This is where you live, go inside. By the way, this is the ghost city coin you entered the city, and it will be given according to the head, 200 coins per person, only this once. After speaking, he took off a small cloth bag and threw it at Mu Yingbao's feet.
"Uncle Huguan, if I understand correctly, this ghost city coin is used in this city?" Mu Yingbao looked at the string of gourd-shaped copper pieces leaking out of the cloth bag under her feet, and asked tentatively.
The manager nodded, speechless.
Although there are very few people who have been pardoned out of the ghost city, there are some people, so it is not strange that people outside the ghost city know about it.
"So, what do you mean just once? Yes, just send it this time, but what about after it runs out? How to live? Silver, copper coins, silver tickets, etc., can't you use them here? Mu Yingbao continued to ask.
Just saw the prosperity on the street, she still has a little bit of joy, her own tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets, there is no need to live a hard life here.
"You're right, when you run out of things, you're going to have to find a way to make money to support yourself. As for silver tickets and copper coins, silver or anything is not allowed here, and it is worthless. Copper coins and silver can be taken to jewelry shops and worn as jewelry.
As for the silver ticket, no matter how large the denomination is, it is also a piece of waste paper. If you feel there is still hope of getting out of here, stay there. After speaking, he ignored Mu Yingbao anymore, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
I'll it, what the hell is this called? Who came up with this? What the hell! With assets of tens of thousands, is all her belongings now only 400 yuan?
Mu Yingbao wanted to vomit blood, but she thought she had earned it, but the hard-earned dowry was sealed in the Xue family and couldn't be brought out.
The tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets brought out are now a stack of waste paper? Busy coming and going, busy and poor!
If my experience is written as a novel, those readers will be depressed when they read it, how can there be such a tragic heroine!
If she deserved to die before, then now, she had a chance to escape before coming in, but because she couldn't bear it, she got herself into a dead end! There is no freedom in Xue Mansion, so there are still people who can eat and drink without spending money.
It's good now, the freedom is gone, and you have to make your own money to live!
In a hurry, a sad and indignant, plus two days of turbulence, Mu Yingbao, who had never eaten, had a dark eye in her eyes and fell to the ground......
