The gate of the county government was locked, and a Taishi chair was placed in front of the door.

An iron cable is attached to the iron door with the pattern of Pixiu beast, and the door lock is tightly chained. There were even two seals on the door, for fear of being pushed in from the outside.

On this seal, the two words "forbidden" are written with a black brush.

Jing Liang looked at the seal, turned his head and said, "My lord, this is the seal posted by the local Zhichong Mansion, and it has their mark on it. ”

Cui Fatzi touched his chin: "They dare to seal the dignified county government, who gave them such boldness?" ”

Jing Liang tugged at the iron cable on the door with his hand, but he didn't pull it open, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "My lord, could it be because there are man-eating monsters in the county, so the county government is sealed?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all those present suddenly became much more solemn.

From the moment they entered the county, everyone felt a depressing aura permeating the entire county.

From the mouth of the shopkeeper Ye, Tang Yun and the others had already learned the horror of this man-eating monster. It is absolutely extraordinary to be able to make such a fuss in a county town.

There was silence around the county ya, but the guns and swords piled up everywhere in front of the yamen still attracted Tang Yun's attention. There's definitely a mess going on here to make it this happen.

"Alert!"

Tang Yun gave Jing Liang a look, and Jing Liang jumped up along the wall of the government office with a few kicks. A moment later, Jing Liang's voice came from behind the wall: "My lord, there seems to be no one here. ”

"Houen, you take someone to guard outside first, and Jing Liang and I will go in and have a look." Tang Yun gave an order, and then jumped in.

Both of them were originally 100 horsemen and were athletic. When I got to the first yard, I felt a sense of oppression.

Facing the main hall of the county government of the two people, you can see the flowers and birds painted inside from the door, and the four golden characters of "Mirror Hanging" are hanging on the plaque.

It's just that this plaque is a little crooked. It was as if some external force had pulled it off the beam above the main hall.

There was a mess all around, and the ground was full of bloody footprints, which looked shocking in the sunlight. The tooth plates on both sides of the county government are also crooked, and some tables and chairs even fall directly on the ground.

There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the main hall, which is engraved with the words "Erfeng Erlu, the people anoint the people". It's just that on this stone stele, there are several bright and dazzling bloody handprints.

Tang Yun and Jing Liang exchanged glances, and both of them could see the vigilance in each other's eyes.

Tang Yun pulled out the knife, walked into the back of the county office step by step, and continued to investigate.

There are more than 50 rooms in the entire government office, and there is a prison behind the yamen. It was so quiet that there wasn't even the sound of birdsong. It's broad daylight, and even if someone in the yamen goes out because of trivial matters, there should always be someone left behind.

Jing Liang turned around in the other direction, and then made peace with Tang Yun, shook his head, and signaled that he didn't see anyone either.

This is strange, the entire county government is empty, and even the people who stayed behind are gone.

Where did they all go?

"My lord, this is the prison of the county government, should we go in and have a look?" Jing Liang asked in a low voice.

Following Jing Liang's hand, Tang Yun could see a complex of buildings that were out of step with the surrounding houses. The walls here are so high that it's almost impossible to climb into.

As a prison, its strictness is naturally much higher than that of the county government. However, the door here does not seem to be closed, and I don't know if the person who opened the door was too hard or something, and the doorknob was actually pulled off.

Tang Yun pushed open the door, and a row of well-arranged houses appeared inside.

In addition to the places where prisoners are held, there are also places such as the class room, the Xingfang and the prison temple.

Since the people who stayed behind in the county government are not there, there is no reason why the prisoners are not there.

The further I walked in, the more I felt a cold aura nearby. Tang Yun suddenly noticed that some of the trees in the vicinity seemed to lack water, and their leaves were a little wilted.

Tang Yun twisted the soil, and there was not the slightest moisture in the soil, as if everything had been evaporated. The soil was already loose and sandy, and it was not able to absorb water at all.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency?"

Jing Liang called Tang Yun beside him: "It seems that there is a prison cell over there!" ”

The cell in front of them is an outer prison, which is usually held by prisoners with less serious sentences and lower culpability. Usually someone is locked up here for a few days and then released, at most a year or two.

The outer prison was relatively small, and the two walked in along the steps, the light was a little dim, but they could see clearly.

There were more bloody footprints on the ground, and Tang Yun even saw that there was even a bowl of noodles on one table and chair.

This noodle has been sitting for a long time, and the noodle soup has solidified. However, Tang Yun noticed that there was still more than half of the noodles in the bowl. He found one chopstick on the ground and the other was missing, indicating that there might be some unrest here.

Could it be that there was a riot in the prison?

The more Tang Yun thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he hurriedly ran to the inside of the outer prison. Who knew that when I looked through the corridor, all the cells I could see were open, and the people inside were gone.

"My lord, there is one more person inside......" Jing Liang ran over and said.

Tang Yun hurried over, only to see that there was still a person lying in a cell.

The man seemed to be dying, and when he saw someone's footsteps, he was already lying on the edge of the iron fence and waiting. Seeing the clothes on Tang Yun's body, he hurriedly shouted: "Official, it's good, give me some water to drink!" ”

Jing Liang threw in a gourd, and the man poured it violently, and he didn't know how long he was thirsty. Until I drank too quickly and began to cough violently.

waited until the man's cough gradually subsided before Tang Yun spoke; "We're from the capital, and I'm going to ask you something."

The man smiled: "Trouble your lord, the small sentence has expired, and it is time to release today." If you let me out, let's talk about it. ”

"Jing Liang, let's go!" Tang Yun stood up without the slightest hesitation.

The man probably didn't expect Tang Yun to make such a move, and he suddenly panicked, seeing that Tang Yun's footsteps did not pause in the slightest, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't go, I said!" Whatever you want to ask me, I'll say it! But the little ones are really hungry, sir, you can do well, give me a little food! ”

……

Jing Liang threw him a piece of dry food, and the man bit it desperately. It's a pity that most of the military rations of the Demon Hunting Division are jerky, and they are very tough, so they must be chewed slowly in small bites.

Tang Yun squatted in front of him, saw his appearance with a cloak and a disheveled appearance, and asked, "Where have all the people in this cell gone?" ”

"Where did I go, I guess I saw the king of Hades." The man replied casually.

Jing Liang saw his struggling appearance, took out a piece of cake from his arms, and said, "Answer us honestly, maybe there will be something for you to eat." ”

The man was probably hungry for a long time, and when he saw the cake in Jing Liang's hand, he secretly swallowed it.

"My lord, I'll just say this to you. I've been locked up here all the time, and I don't know what's going on outside. But yes, but in the prison, there was indeed a riot. All of them fled, but I don't think many survived. ”
