In the past three days, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao announced to the public that they would sort out the things at hand and prepare to leave the prison of the Criminal Department. It makes people have the illusion that Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao can't stay stunned and want to leave this prison that has not seen the light of day as soon as possible. In fact, this kind of thinking is very normal, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao can't leave the prison of the Criminal Department, and they are almost locked in it like prisoners. Zhan Xiaoxiao went out once when he saw Qiu Xiaoqiu, and the two couples had no chance to leave the prison of the Criminal Department. The cell heads and jailers of the prison can change shifts, at least every few days they can go out to see the sun and breathe fresh air, and everyone will feel uncomfortable being locked up in the underground prison. The prisoner has committed a crime, and he can only suffer inside, no matter how uncomfortable he is, he has to endure it, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao are not prisoners, of course they will complain. Everyone "understood" Qin Tai and Zhan's little mood, so they felt that this was normal. If Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't want to leave here, it would make everyone feel abnormal.

Qin Tai deliberately let Zhan Xiaoxiao speak, saying that Qin Tai had already asked someone to bring a message to Zhang Juzheng, and Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't want to stay here. As long as the rumors outside are not too tight, Zhang Juzheng will let them out, and they will never come to the prison of the Criminal Department in the future. In order to match this illusion, Qin Tai really asked a soldier to wait for a letter to go out. The soldier inexplicably receives a letter asking him to be sent to an inexplicable place. By the time the letter was handed over to the soldier, it had already gone through at least three people. Qin Tai asked his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao to hand the letter to a jailer, and asked him to give the letter to a soldier on the patrol outside. The jailer did not immediately do as Zhan Xiaoxiao intended, but handed the letter to a cell boss. The cell boss secretly looked at the contents and knew that Qin Tai really didn't want to stay here. It is common for cell bosses to peek at letters exchanged between the prison of the Criminal Department, and some well-known prisoners often correspond with their families, and the cell bosses are worried that the prisoners will say things that should not be said, so they have to peek at the contents of the letters. If there is nothing in it, the letter will be sent out in the normal way, and if there is a problem in the letter, it will be intercepted by the cell boss. Although Qin Tai is not a prisoner, his letters need to be guarded against, and of course his handwritten letters will be peeked at. The cell boss even made a preparation, if Qin Tai had information in it that shouldn't be said, the cell boss would ask someone to imitate Qin Tai's handwriting to write a fake letter and send it out, and the real letter would be secretly intercepted. Fortunately, there was no secret in the content of Qin Tai's letter, but he said that he couldn't stay up, and begged the recipient to save himself and his wife quickly, otherwise they would go crazy.

Since everyone knew that Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao were leaving, everyone was even better to the couple. They also hoped that Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao would leave the prison of the Criminal Department as soon as possible, so they tried their best to curry favor with Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao used this time to try to remember the secret information on the calligraphy and paintings. Then he pretended to be dissatisfied with Wang Tong, listened to some jailers who deliberately said bad things, and felt that Wang Tong was not a person who could be befriended. For this reason, Zhan Xiaoxiao worked hard to "persuade" her husband Qin Tai, and Qin Tai finally listened to his wife Zhanxiao's "pillow wind" and decided to "return" the calligraphy and paintings to Wang Tong. In order to prevent others from seeing the secret, Zhan Xiaoxiao found an opportunity for Wang Tong to come to the prison of the Criminal Department, and returned the calligraphy and painting to Wang Tong on behalf of Qin Tai. Wang Tong pretended to be disappointed, and simply threw these calligraphy and paintings into the water tank on the spot. The calligraphy and paintings were made of paper, and as soon as they were soaked in water, they immediately turned into pulp, and all information was destroyed on the spot. The reason why Qin Tai did not contact Wang Tong immediately was because he needed to confirm the authenticity of Wang Tong's information. After confirming the authenticity, you can decide whether to contact Wang Tong head-on. At this point, Wang Tong can understand Qin Tai's meaning from the act of handing over calligraphy and paintings, which Wang Tong has long been prepared for. If Qin Tai met Wang Tong immediately, Wang Tong would have to worry about whether Qin Tai was a frizzy person, no matter how smart such a person was, he was not a good collaborator.

returned the calligraphy and painting to Wang Tong, and made everyone think that Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao were leaving, which was all an illusion, an act of paralyzing the other party. In fact, even if this distress letter is sent, it will not be of much use. The address is a grocery store, in fact, it has nothing to do with Zhang Juzheng, if it has anything to do with it, it only has some relationship with Dongchang. Even if Dongchang saw Qin Tai's letter, it would be reported to Meng Chong, the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies. Meng Chong hated Qin Tai and his wife to the core, and would never save Qin Tai and his wife from the prison of the Criminal Department, at most it was just a few sarcastic words. If the boss behind the prison of the criminal department wants to use this line to track, he will definitely "kick the iron plate". Dongchang is the most terrifying institution in the entire Ming Dynasty, almost really "eating people without spitting out bones". Qin Tai also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see if the prison of the Criminal Department had anything to do with Dongchang, and he wanted to know how much magic power this behind-the-scenes boss had?

Of course, there is another advantage to doing this, which can allow Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao to take this opportunity to completely walk around the prison of the Criminal Department. The main purpose of this is to confirm the correctness of the map and the main information explained by Wang Tong, so as to confirm the reliability of other information. Wang Tong mentioned several detailed maps of the prison of the Criminal Department, including a map of the distribution of troops on the periphery and a schematic map of the arrangement of weapons, as well as a detailed layout of the interior of the prison of the Criminal Department. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao couldn't leave the basement of the prison of the Criminal Department, so they couldn't confirm the distribution of troops outside, but they could look at the internal layout of the prison of the Criminal Department. Qin Tai handed over this task to his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao, and Zhan Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to take a walk to identify and compare them one by one. Qin Tai also left his room and took advantage of the opportunity to chat with some jailers or cell bosses to inquire about the old past of some prison of the Criminal Department. As long as it doesn't involve important issues and recent events, everyone is willing to have a good relationship with Qin Tai. Maybe Qin Tai can be a prefect after he goes out, and he can take everyone out of this prison of the Criminal Department. There are not many people who really live comfortably and "make a lot of money" in the prison of the Criminal Department, and everyone is also worried that when something happens in the prison of the Criminal Department, it will affect them, so everyone wants to find a suitable way out and exit this "circle of right and wrong". If you leave with Qin Tai, not only can you keep everything you have, but you are more likely to embark on a bright future again, so everyone knows almost everything about Qin Tai.

Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao not only found that the information explained by Wang Tong was absolutely correct, but also really true. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao wanted to know more about the things on the fifth floor of the basement of the Criminal Department Prison, as long as everything inside was confirmed, they could determine the biggest problem in the Criminal Department Prison. In order to be able to find an opportunity to enter the fifth layer, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao respectively attacked the people who had developed separately. Zhan Xiaoxiao used some small favors to buy a few powerful jailers and handymen. Qin Tai also tempted some jailers with the future, so that some unwilling jailers were willing to turn a blind eye to Qin Tai's affairs.

By inquiring about Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao, he learned an important clue. There is a "rest day" in the prison of the Criminal Department, and on this day, the internal guards of the prison of the Criminal Department are the most lax. The so-called "bathing day" refers to the rest day, which is mainly a day for everyone to wash and relax. Such holidays are generally only available to the army and some special departments. Soldiers take advantage of this "bathing holiday" to relax themselves, go to the bazaar, buy some good food and drink, and sometimes go to fireworks places for recreation. This is also the case with some special departments, who usually can't go home often in order to keep secrets, so take this opportunity to relax. Whenever there is a "holiday", people with families go home and make love to their wives, and those who do not have wives go to bathhouses or brothels. Originally, according to the order of the imperial court, there was one day off every ten days, that is, nine days of work and one day off. But later, things changed, and the "bath holiday" became an irregular day. At the border barracks, I hope that the soldiers will rest more, and they hope to rest one day every seven or five days. Because on the day of rest, the barracks can prepare fewer meals and save one meal. But the soldiers were reluctant to take a holiday, and not only did they not receive their wages on this day, but they were also not provided with meals. Soldiers are often owed their salaries, and they cannot enjoy it without money in their hands, and some people with families are too embarrassed to go home, so it is better to stay in the barracks. Once part of the salary is paid, even if the barracks are not on holiday, everyone will find a way to get out. In other departments, there are fewer and fewer "bathing days", some are once every 15 days, and in some places once every 30 days. As early as the Jingtai period, the prison of the Criminal Department stipulated that there would be a "bath day" every 15 days. That is to say, there is only one day off after 14 days of work, and only half of the staff on duty in the prison of the Criminal Department are left on this day.

A handyman told Zhan Xiaoxiao that the cell head was basically not in the prison of the Criminal Department on this day, and some jailers with doors and backstage would not be there. Especially on this night, the people on duty are all people who have no backstage, and the people who patrol the cells are even newer. The handyman said that on this day, the cell bosses either went to their homes to reunite with their relatives, or went to the little wife's house to meet their lovers. The same is true of the jailer, who accompanies his wife with his wife, accompanies his lover with his lover, and looks for a prostitute without a lover. Only some people who have been bullied will be arranged to be on duty at this time, and the people on duty on this day are quite depressed.

After Zhan Xiaoxiao told Qin Tai, Qin Tai also felt that this was an opportunity that could be used very well. You can take advantage of this "bath holiday" opportunity to go to the fifth floor to see for yourself. saw through the secrets of the last layer of the prison of the Criminal Department, so as to completely confirm that everything Wang Tong said was true or false. The duty on this night was the weakest, and it was also the best opportunity for Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao to listen to the truth without alarming each other.
