Revisit the edict

Wang Xin's question made the brocade-clothed guard Baihu stunned for a moment, and his stunned gaze quickly turned complicated and inexplicable: "Please forgive me for being humble and stupid, I don't know why Lord Wang asked such a question?" ”

Wang Xin smiled, did not speak, but raised his legs and walked along the dark corridor towards the cell with a character, and finally stopped at the door of the cell where Chang Fengxuan and Sui Han had been held.

"Nothing." Wang Xin looked around at the door of the prison cell, and then said slowly: "This official just thinks that the night was not so peaceful, and you Lord Ji also happened to be in the edict prison, maybe...... It is not known what incredible things will happen. ”

Wang Xin walked back and forth in the corridor at the entrance of the prison with his legs raised, observing, there were five cells in this A-shaped cell, and the two of them were locked in the first and second rooms, and the last room was separated by a gambling wall, and there was not even a ventilation window on the wall that separated the outside.

Jinyi Wei Baihu is also a good person, knowing what Wang Xin is referring to, it is clear that she is suspicious of Ji Bangyue, she lowered her head and thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "In addition to the suspect Bai Hanyan that day, there was also a man in black who also wanted to break into the edict, but before he could enter the question, he was captured by our Ji Dasheng, if there is anything strange......

The brocade guard paused slightly, Wang Xin tilted his head slightly, waiting for his next words, he looked at Wang Xin, his face suddenly became a little nervous and said: "My lord mentioned it like this, I really remembered it, it seems that a strange thing happened that night, and I heard the brothers on patrol say that in the middle of the night after that, they seemed, like, saw a little white ghost!" ”

"What?" Wang Xin turned around and looked at him, a sneer suddenly appeared on his face, and he sneered: "Little white ghost, heh, don't you Jinyi Wei believe in such a strange and chaotic thing?" ”

"It's true! It's true! The brocade guard Baihu seemed to be more serious, stepped forward and got closer to Wang Xin, and said with a nervous face: "It's true, it's true, he wasn't the only one who asked that night, and many people saw it." ”

Seeing him look like this, Wang Xin couldn't help frowning, and said coldly: "Oh, since that's the case, I don't know what kind of ghost it is?" ”

The brocade guard shook his head, and said with some horror: "I didn't see what it looked like, but I just listened to the brothers, in short, the little white ghost was seen at a glance, and when I went to look for it, there was nothing." ”

"Then did you tell you about Master Ji?" Wang Xin raised the corners of his lips and asked with a squint at him.

Jinyi Wei Baihu nodded again and again when he heard this, but the expression on his face was a little aggrieved: "This matter was mentioned to Lord Ji, but how do you know that Lord Ji was furious, saying that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, we must be dazzled, so we are not allowed to mention it." ”

Wang Xin lowered his eyes at the moment, didn't say anything, thought about it, raised his head and asked, "Other than that, nothing else happened?" ”

"Nope." Jinyi Wei Baihu bowed his head in response, and answered almost without thinking.

Wang Xin snorted coldly, stepped forward and walked towards him, stood beside the brocade guard, lowered his neck, and said in a very soft voice: "You kid is smart, you know what I want to ask, but what strange things do you use to perfunctory your own official, it seems that the people under Ji Bangyue's hands are all sharp teeth." ”

The brocade-clothed guard Baihu immediately panicked, hurriedly leaned over and knelt on the ground, and said in fear: "Lord Wang forgives the sin, the humble duty is really dull, I don't know what Lord Wang said, except for Bai Hanyan who came to see the three rebels that night, nothing else happened." ”

"No one else really came to see those three rebels?" Wang Xin's eyes fluctuated greatly, and the deep pool-like eye waves stared straight at the brocade guard.

The brocade-clothed guard knelt down and bowed his head, kowtowed again and again in fright, and said in horror: "I don't dare to hide it, after the suspect Bai Hanyan came that night, no one else really came." ”

Wang Xin looked away, pulled the corners of his lips coldly, and snorted coldly: "It seems that you can't ask anything from your mouth, get up, open the prison door, and the official wants to go in and have a look." ”

The brocade-clothed guard immediately got up and instructed his subordinates: "Don't hurry up and open the prison door for Lord Wang." ”

"Yes." The entourage of the brocade guard behind him immediately responded, took out the key on his waist, opened the door of the prison, and stood sideways to the side, Wang Xin walked in with his legs raised, and carefully observed in the prison, the walls around him were hard and compact, except for a five-inch ventilation hole in the cell, there were no other even small flaws, and this tightness was like an iron bucket.

Wang Xin couldn't help but wonder, if no one else came that night, how did that person come in quietly, and unknowingly avoid the ears and eyes of Jinyiwei to poison and kill people?

Wang Xin finally looked at the vent and said suspiciously: "Is there such a vent in every room in your prison?" ”

"Yes." The brocade guard responded cautiously.

Wang Xin didn't say anything, just walked into the small hole, and explored it carefully, and when the brocade guard saw this, he immediately said: "This ventilation hole is only used for ventilation, and it is made according to the specifications, even if it is a child, it can't even get in, and even if someone wants to come in to save people with bone shrinking skills, it will never shrink to this extent." Moreover, this vent is not directly connected to the outside, so adults can rest assured. ”

"It's not connected to the outside, but where is it?" Wang Xin looked back at him, frowned, and said, "Take this official to have a look." ”

"Yes." The brocade guard didn't dare to slack off, Wang Xin was out, the two walked out of the cell A, went around in a circle before walking to the back of the cell, standing at the door Wang Xin found that this was a very tightly closed room, only the door had a few inches long ventilation hole, and the door was covered with a very large and heavy iron lock.

This room is sealed and very long and wide.

Originally, there was no prison here, but it was used to store torture instruments and to punish prisoners on weekdays.

The brocade guard seemed to see Wang Xinde's suspicions, and explained with a smile: "The cells in the A cell and the B cells are all heavy and important prisoners, and the prisoners cannot be detained according to the rules after this ventilation hole, but I am afraid that someone will use it to transmit news with bad intentions, so the general prison cell is used to store torture tools and weapons, and it is a place to torture some stubborn rebels on weekdays." ”

Wang Xin was stunned for a while, nodded, walked out of the torture room and stood at the door, but he stopped abruptly, looked at the endless Yongdao in front of him, he frowned, and asked: "This Yongdao looks very long, and there seems to be a fork in the middle, where does it lead?" ”

The Jinyi Wei Baihu thought about it and hesitated a little, but still said: "If you go back to the adult, there is no fork in this road, but it leads to the backyard of the Jinyi Guard, after all, ...... After all, this is a cell A, and sometimes, it is inevitable that there are people who can't stand the heavy punishment, and there are still many people who die. ”

Wang Xin sneered and smiled when he heard this, and said, "It is said that there is a dog hole in the backyard of the Imperial Prison, which seems to be worthy of its reputation." ”

The brocade-clothed guard Baihu accompanied the smiling face, but did not speak, Wang Xin raised his hand and carelessly adjusted the cuffs, and said with low eyebrows: "That's it, since there is nothing to be found here, the official will go back." ”

The brocade-clothed guard Baihu was obviously relieved, and said, "Humble and respectful." ”

Wang Xin snorted coldly, raised his leg and left, and the brocade-clothed guard Baihu kept sending him out of the gate of the edict, bowing down to see him leave.

At this moment, the sky outside was already dark, and when Wang Xin's figure disappeared, Wang Xi, a thousand households in Jinyi, gradually turned out of the door.

The brocade-clothed guard Baihu immediately stepped forward and leaned over him, Wang Xi squinted at him slightly, and said, "Did he find something?" ”

The brocade guard immediately shook his head and said, "If you go back to your lordship, I'm afraid Wang Xin came for nothing this time, and he didn't find anything." ”

Wang Xin squinted at him, and his voice suddenly became cold: "There is nothing in our edict for him to find." ”

The brocade guard was immediately shocked and said in fear, "Yes." Be. ”

"Lord Wang, how is the trip to the Imperial Prison?"

Not far from Wang Xin's departure from the Imperial Prison, he passed by a dark alley, Bai Hanyan had been waiting for him here for a long time, and when he saw him coming, he put his hands on his chest, leaned on the alley wall, and said with a smile.

Wang Xin's face immediately changed, and he turned around and motioned for his entourage to continue walking, he turned around in a panic and pulled Bai Hanyan's arm and walked towards the alley.

"Why are you here at this time?" There was some reproach in his tone.

Bai Hanyan let him pull him into the deep alley, with a smile line on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes fell on Wang Xin's hand pulling her wrist.

Wang Xin followed her line of sight, realized his gaffe, hurriedly withdrew his hand, the tips of his ears were slightly red, and he said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm rude." ”

Bai Hanyan withdrew his arm and said with a light smile: "I don't know what Lord Wang found out on this trip?" ”

Wang Xin only felt a little empty in his heart, pursed his lips, and said: "Wang Xi is also a good person, and he hid directly, but the brocade guard Baihu is also a powerful person, and every word is not leaked, and there is no other discovery in the edict." ”

"Did Lord Vent check it?" Bai Hanyan turned his head to look at him and asked.

"Checked, the vent is very small, it really can't even stuff a child's head in, and behind the vent is a deeply locked Xingfang, and there are no prisoners on weekdays. I'm afraid that the white girl is going to fail this time. Wang Xin replied.

Bai Hanyan's expression couldn't help but darken when he heard this, and he muttered: "In that case, I don't understand, how did they die?" ”

Wang Xin didn't answer her, but thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said: "There is one thing I think it is necessary to tell you, although I don't know if what he said is true or false, but I always feel that it will not be such a coincidence." ”

"What?" Bai Hanyan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

"That brocade-clothed guard once said that on the night when the three rebels died, someone saw a little white ghost in the prison." Wang Xin hesitated and said that the ghosts and gods said, he never believed it, but he didn't know if it would be the murderer.

"What, little white...... Ghost? ”
