Prisons, also known as "prisons", are places used by the imperial court to imprison and hold prisoners.

After all, the types of prisoners are different, some may just be petty theft, and some are murder and arson, colluding with thieves.

There is also the gender of the prisoner, which is also different, there is a difference between men and women, and it is definitely not good for a female prisoner to be locked up with a male prisoner, which is also the minimum etiquette.

Among them, the previous dynasty set up a place for this purpose, "Ye Ting Prison", which was used to detain female prisoners, and the word "Ye Ting" originally referred to the place where the palace maids and concubines lived, and the "Ye Ting Prison" was also used in the palace to hold the palace maids and concubines, and later extended to the outside of the palace, and all the prisons for female prisoners were uniformly called "Ye Ting Prison".

Since the gender is different, this most important identity is different, and it is natural to take it into account.

The status of the prisoners before they came in was different, and the places where they were held were naturally different, and the princes and nobles who committed crimes must not be the same as the common people, imprisoned in that kind of tattered and moldy cell, which also lost the face of the royal family and the imperial court, so many prisons where the emperor's relatives were imprisoned were even built worse than ordinary people's homes, not only the interior was clean and tidy, but there were even separate toilet compartments, which were no different from ordinary courtyards, but also restricted personal freedom.

Huangsha County naturally has its own prison, but it is not as detailed as other places, after all, Huangsha County itself is a small city with a big palm, so the prison here is just an ordinary building, and the location of the prison is not too far from the county government, mainly to facilitate the direct interrogation of prisoners.

Originally, the manpower here was directly dismissed by the former magistrate Xu Sanjin in order to save expenses, resulting in a long period of desertion in the middle, and later after Huangsha County was taken over by Gu Xuan, with the support of the county government, it naturally operated again and played its original role, and there were special prison officers and soldiers as guards.

This prison is very well built, like the barracks at the east end of the city, in order to be used for a long time, it is a stone house, and the upper floor is not large, because it is only used as a cover, and the real cell is actually underground.

The entrance to the prison is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which shows the meticulousness of the original builders, and fortunately, when the killers attacked that night, no one paid attention to this place, let alone wasted time to attack.

Now there are no more and no less prisoners in the cell, except for the captured horse bandits, that is, some people who have committed major crimes, after all, if they commit a small thing casually, they will be imprisoned, not to mention that the prison cell is not enough, even if they eat, they can eat the county government poor.

In order to prevent anyone from having bad intentions, even if there is only one house on the surface of the prison, people are not allowed to live around it, and if anyone comes, they can see it from a long distance.

At this moment, I saw Lu Yi, who had just come out of the barracks, and came from afar.

The two jailers guarding the door naturally knew him, glanced left and right, and hurriedly greeted him, holding the spear, clasping his fists, bowing his head and saluting: "Lord Lu!"

Lu Yi, as the highest-ranking official in the entire county government, except for Gu Xuan, the prince, naturally does not need any formalities to enter and leave here.

He just smiled and nodded at the two of them, and said, "The two of you have worked hard, and now there are not enough people in the yamen for the time being, and more people can't be assigned to come over, but this prison is the top priority, and there is no room for mistakes, so it depends on the two of you to be on duty for more time on weekdays, but Lu Mou is really a little reluctant to go." ”

When the two of them heard this, their hearts were warm, and the young man couldn't hide his emotions, and he was almost about to cry.

The two of them immediately said gratefully: "Lord Lu, what are you talking about, these are just the work of the villains, and the adults don't have to worry about it." ”

Lu Yi just stretched out his hand, patted the shoulders of the two gently, and said earnestly: "The prince asked me to bring a message to the two of you, be careful in everything, this life is the most important, no matter what happens, it is good to notify the county government in time, do everything when you see the opportunity, don't do it brutely, if you lose your life in vain, the prince can't explain it to the families of the two." ”

When the two of them heard this, they were even more moved, and one of them even sobbed.

No wonder he is so excited, it is really because there is a difference between respect and inferiority, the people above, where can they care about the life and death of the people below, in the eyes of those princes and nobles, if you don't do these things, there are naturally a lot of people to do them, and work hard for them, it is a natural thing, ordinary people will only say, what happened, only you ask.

After a long time, even the people below themselves feel so, so sometimes a sudden concern from the superior can really move them for a long time.

Seeing this, Lu Yi deliberately said with a straight face: "Okay, crying and crying, let people see it, what kind of system is it, you are all from my county yafu now, and you come out to represent the face of our county yafu, Huangsha County will get better and better in the future, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of big people coming, and when the time comes, I can't laugh at our prince?"

When the two of them heard this, they stopped crying, gritted their teeth and stood up again, and then sent Lu Yi into the prison.

After entering the house, and then going down the stone stairs, I didn't go far, and suddenly there was a hall in front of me, first of all, a hall for the jailers on duty here, and now there were two jailers in it, just enough to change shifts with the people standing guard outside.

Because the prison was built very well from the beginning, the jailers just sat here to rest, and when they were empty, they just monitored the cells to make sure there were no problems, and then they picked up their meals and excrement.

Although it is underground, as long as the people inside are usually diligent and cleaned, it will not be dirty, and because there are not too many prisoners for the time being, there is less of the smell of fecal sewage accumulation.

The only fly in the ointment is that in order to achieve the purpose of imprisoning prisoners, the entire prison is an underground enclosed space, and without opening windows, it can only be lit by a kerosene lamp, which inevitably looks a little dim.

Seeing that Lu Yi had come in, the two jailers who had been sitting at the table chatting quickly stood up, bowed down and hugged their fists and said, "See, I've seen Lord Lu!"

Lu Yi looked left and right, and then nodded lightly towards the two of them, and asked, "There is nothing abnormal in the prison, right?" ”

The two glanced at each other, knowing that it was an adult who had come to inspect it, so they dared to slack off, so they hurriedly replied: "Back to the adult, our brothers and sisters inspected half a pillar of incense, and they looked around just now and found nothing abnormal." ”

One of them suddenly said, "My lord, it's just 。。。。。。 ”

When Lu Yi saw that there was a situation, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Just what?" ”

The man was startled, didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly replied: "It's just that the Ma family brothers came over before." ”

Lu Yi suddenly frowned and said, "What did you do here?"

The man hurriedly said: "If you go back to your lordship, according to the rules, except for you and a few other adults, if anyone else wants to enter the cell, they must have an edict issued by the county government, and the Ma brothers didn't bring a warrant, so we didn't let the two of them in, and then they didn't say anything, so they just left directly." ”

Lu Yi sighed secretly in his heart, only said that in this matter, he must have wronged the two of them, nodded lightly at the moment, and praised: "It's very good, it's official, prison is the top priority, you can't let people in at will, you two did a good job this time, and you will do it like this in the future, now take me to the cell where the woman is in Xinjian." ”

was praised by Lu Yi, the two of them were happy, where would they be slacking off at this time, and hurriedly said: "Hey, Haole, Lord Lu, the little one will take you there." ”

In order to prevent the prisoners from escaping, the whole prison, from the beginning of entering this hall, is a dead end in front of it, after walking inside, except for returning the original way, passing back to the hall, there is no second exit, go forward along this road, there will be some forks in the middle, these are the areas leading to various different prisoners, but according to the rules, the more you rely on the inside, the heavier the crime, which is also the design of the beginning of the establishment.

Along the way, the three of them met several horse bandit captives who were held separately, all of whom were imprisoned here after being knocked down by Gu Xuan, because they wanted to torture them about some information they knew, so they were not dragged out for questioning, but they were bound by torture instruments, locked inside, and delivered food every day.

Since they came in, they never seemed to want to escape, but they lived here every day, lifeless, and even Lu Yi and the two jailers walked in front of them, and these people didn't react much.

It was only when they reached the outside of a cell in the middle of the room that the three of them stopped.

The cell in front of him was small, with some thatch on the floor that kept the whole cell dry, plus a small soft cushion, even a bed, and a dirty wooden barrel in the corner, which was where the prisoners went to the toilet.

The entire cell is made of hard stones, and after special reinforcement, it is a whole prison that is difficult to break from the inside, even if someone digs a tunnel from the outside, it is impossible to easily break the three-story thick stone wall in a short time.

In this small area on the top of the cell, next to the ground, a small window was opened, and the sunlight from the outside passed through the small window and projected on the slanted ground, forming a palm-sized place, exuding an air of freedom and sobriety, and making people dizzy.

Iron railings were erected side by side as the gateway to the cell, and then a large iron lock was held to prevent the people inside from escaping, and I saw the black narcissus squatting quietly on a clean ground that he had specially cleared, hanging his head, holding his knees with one hand, and grasping the dust in the sunlight with the other, without saying a word.

She was still dressed in the same seductive outfit, with a ball of cloth on her upper body that barely covered the two peaks, and only a piece of cloth on her lower body that almost covered her privacy.

Because of his hot body and snow-white skin, when he first came in, he could see that the desire of these four young jailers who had never seen any women was on fire, but after learning that this person was actually a horse bandit, the high desire in his lower abdomen was instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water.

Living in Huangsha County, they have a deep understanding of this horse bandit, no matter how good-looking a woman is, as long as they are crowned with the name of a horse bandit, they can only avoid it.

Although the puffer fish is fat and delicious, it has deadly toxins, who dares to try it easily?

In fact, when the black narcissus first came in, she wanted to escape, seeing that no one paid attention to the call for a long time, and no one patrolled, taking advantage of this opportunity, she thought about secretly opening the lock and leaving, but unfortunately when she was thrown in, the jailer didn't even leave her a slightly hard thing, the clever woman was embarrassed to cook without rice, she couldn't pry the big lock at all, plus there were shackles on her feet, and after tossing for a while, she decided to stay here like this first and continue to think of a way, in short, she couldn't sit still, she didn't believe that the other party would be kind enough to let herself go, after all, the other party's subordinates had a blood feud with herself。

And she knows the methods of these prisons, as soon as the felons are thrown in, they will feed you some food with laxatives first, and pull them for two or three days, and then they will not even be able to stand steadily, so they will definitely be honest, so they have only heard of people robbing prisons everywhere, but they have never heard of anyone escaping from them, and this is the reason.

When the time comes, if you don't eat and starve, you will die, and if you eat, you will have diarrhea, and you will have no strength to move at all, and no one will have the ability to escape from prison, so the golden time to escape from prison is only this day or two, and after this or two days, then wait here for death.

It's just that she didn't expect that someone would come over not long after she had just rested.

After hearing the footsteps, Black Narcissus also raised his head and saw clearly the person coming, isn't it the one on the head of the city, well, Lord Lu?

Lu Yi looked at the two jailers who followed closely behind, waved his hand and ordered, "Bother the two to open the door and let me in." ”

When the two jailers heard this, they were immediately shocked and dissuaded: "No, Lord Lu, this is a horse bandit, how can Lord Lu risk his life!"

Black Narcissus also stood up at this time, and looked at this seemingly powerless middle-aged scribe with curiosity, even if she is now wearing shackles on her feet, but that is just to make her unable to move, it is not easy to escape, but it is no problem to shoot at close range and capture an ordinary scholar, is it possible that this is still a hidden master?

Lu Yi said, "It's okay, just let me in." ”

The two jailers couldn't resist him, thinking that this woman still had shackles on her feet, it should be fine, and after opening the cell door for her, she also followed in and blocked Lu Yi's body.

The two of them pressed the treasure knife on their waists, their eyes showed unkindness, and they looked at the black narcissus on the ground opposite vigilantly.

Yes, it turned out to be a straw bale with no power to tie the chicken.

Black Narcissus glanced at him, and immediately lost interest, just hugged his chest, Shi Shiran stood up, looking at her amorous appearance, I don't know which prostitution house I thought it was the matchmaker, how could I think that it was a horse bandit in prison.

Lu Yi shook his head and smiled at the two jailers: "I want to interrogate this person secretly, let's leave for the time being." ”

The two jailers suddenly looked embarrassed, and one of them thought for a while, and then said, "Lord Lu, aren't you embarrassed for us? If something happens to you, how should we explain it to the prince." ”

Lu Yi smiled with a smile on his chest: "Don't worry, she doesn't dare to touch me, the two of you can leave with confidence." ”

When the black narcissus heard this, the corners of his mouth curled, and he said in his heart that as soon as the next person leaves, the old lady will move you well.

The two jailers glanced at each other, and secretly said that the other party was their top boss after all, and since they were going to be secretly arraigned, there must be something important, and it was indeed not for the two of them to observe, so they couldn't help it, so they could only give up their hands and say: "Okay, Lord Lu, our brothers don't go far, as long as you make a call, we can come over immediately." ”

Lu Yi smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, the two of you can just wait in the cell on the other side of the exit." ”

The two nodded, and were about to withdraw, when one of them suddenly yelled at Black Narcissus: "Be honest with me, if you collide with adults, you will have good fruit to eat." ”

In this regard, Black Narcissus just sneered disdainfully, and then watched the two of them leave the cell and walked outside, and I don't know if I forgot it, or I was afraid of offending this person, so I didn't even lock the cell and left directly, what a great opportunity!
