Duan Zisheng of Dali Temple smiled at Chi Le: "Lord Qiqi." Two hours ago, Dali Temple sent someone to arrest him. Because he was involved in the crime of robbing prisoners, he was temporarily imprisoned in a prison for a later trial. ”

Patiently listening to what Dali Siqing Duan Zisheng said, Chi Le's face darkened layer by layer. After Duan Zisheng finished speaking, Chi Le's brows furrowed. That's a lot of nonsense. He knows all this. But what does this have to do with his visit?

Thinking of the advice of his entourage just now, Chi Le's face immediately turned gloomy. Perhaps, he was displeased, and said indifferently: "Master Duan, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that this king can't even visit a prison? ”

Hearing that the King of Zhongyong came to visit the prison, Dali Temple Qing Duan Zisheng, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Although Chi Legui is the prince and has a high position, it is not easy to agree casually. Dali Temple has strict laws, and it is not forbidden to visit prisons. However, it is generally limited to immediate family members, such as wives visiting their husbands, sons visiting their fathers, and so on.

Chi Le saw that Dali Temple Qing Duan Zisheng was silent, so he cleared his face and cleared his throat. At this moment, he exuded a kind of aura all over his body, in order to suppress Duan Zisheng's confidence.

Duan Zisheng of Dali Temple looked at Chi Le's solemn side, and had to deny: "Of course not." However, he said this sentence extremely against his will.

Chi Le's perfunctory look was lost, and he glanced at him: "Why don't you lead the way?" ”

Duan Zisheng had no choice but to lead him to the prison.

Along the way, Chi Le didn't ask anything, and walked directly to the cell.

In the heavenly prison, Chu Tiankuo was locked in an ordinary cell, and he was treated according to the specifications of ordinary prisoners. Moreover, the torture chamber has been prepared and is waiting for interrogation.

The prison where Chu Tiankuo was locked up was dark. Occasionally, a cold wind blew in through a crack in the wall. The wind blew up the dust and drifted in the air, filling the entire prison, mixed with the smell of sour rot and decay.

Chi Le went with Duan Zisheng, turned east, passed through the inner hall, passed by the compound, and saw the cell where the prisoner was held.

As soon as I entered the cell, a foul smell came to my nose. The stench in the cell was so bad that it smelled musty mixed with the stench of prisoners' feces. Rats, cockroaches, maggots crawl and crawl on the ground, which is creepy.

Chi Le hurriedly covered his nose.

Dali Siqing Duan Zisheng was a little embarrassed and said: "The prince forgives me." There are too many prisoners in the prison, and they are all in the prison for eating, drinking, and Lazar, so it stinks. Otherwise, the prince will go outside and wait for a while. I'll take him outside, how about you say goodbye? ”

"No need. There's nothing in a cell that doesn't stink. Chi Le wanted to see the environment in the cell.

Walking into the cell, I saw rows of birdcage-like cells on both sides of a narrow passage. The cells are filled with either crazy or numb prisoners.

However, when these prisoners saw Duan Zisheng, some of them were lying on the edge of the iron fence and watching, their eyes glazed. Some obediently huddled in the corner, not even daring to make a sound.

The whole cell was very dim, except for a few oil lamps on either side, and the oil burned as much as he could, and shone faintly. There is no daylight here all year round, and even the air is muddy. A normal person can't stand it for a while. The people who are locked up here may not be able to get out for the rest of their lives.

There is not only an oppressive atmosphere, but also a death atmosphere.

At the end of the cell was the cell where Chu Tiankuo was held. This cell, small in size, contained a rudimentary bed covered with thatch.

Chu Tiankuo lay flat on the thatched bed, looking up at the small window on the wall that was breathable and ventilated.

"The sky is wide." Chi Le called, his voice a little excited.

Before Chi Le could speak, Chu Tiankuo had already sensed his arrival. It's just that I was depressed in my heart and deliberately pretended to ignore it. Therefore, when he heard Chi Le calling him, he raised his head lightly. He put away the loneliness on his face and smiled at Chi Le's pretended to be relaxed.

Seeing this scene, Chi Le's heart was sour. In the past, the young man with a fan was respected and full of spirit. Today, imprisoned in a prison, freedom is lost in darkness and sorrow. Chu Tiankuo fell to this point, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

There was silence. The air tensed.

After a moment of silence, Chi Le's nose suddenly became sour, and in a stern tone, he whispered to Duan Zisheng, "Lord Duan." Can you arrange a comfortable place for him to stay? This cell was so wronged by him. ”

Although it was in a commanding tone, his words were very gentle, and he spoke in a calcitrant tone.

Duan Zisheng was stunned for a moment. He couldn't understand why King Zhongyong was so protective of Chu Tiankuo? In all fairness, letting Chu Tiankuo live in a cell alone is already a preferential treatment. People who have committed an accident still want a comfortable place to live? Then what to talk about going to jail!

However, since it was King Zhongyong who interceded, he could not disobey the prince's will. After all, Chu Tiankuo has not yet been formally tried and has not yet been convicted.

After thinking about it like this, Duan Zisheng nodded: "Then according to the prince's wishes, the lower officials will change him to a good place to live." ”

"So, there's Lord Laoduan." Chi Le said, his tone changed, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Lord Duan, can this king talk to him alone?" ”

Duan Zisheng hesitated for a moment before agreeing with difficulty.

After Duan Zisheng left, Chi Le couldn't wait to say to Chu Tiankuo: "Tiankuo, I'm worried that Xiangye will kill you this time." He must have been the victim of this. You're in this prison, and you're in danger......"

Before Chi Le's words were finished, Chu Tiankuo interrupted him: "I know it's Xiangye's ghost." However, it is a fact that I robbed prisoners. Let me flee, break the law, and hide from the government. I will be restless for the rest of my life. ”

"You're just so stubborn. I know I can't persuade you. That's not what I'm telling you. Chi Le raised his eyebrows and smiled at him mysteriously: "I specially looked for you, I have something to give you." ”

What is it? Chu Tiankuo asked him with his eyes.

Chi Le took out the death-free gold medal from his arms and handed it to Chu Tiankuo.

Seeing the gold medal for avoiding death, Chu Tiankuo's face, which had never been calm, appeared in a trance, and then turned stunned. He looked at Chi Le blankly, and didn't reach out to pick up the death-free gold medal, but just asked, "Where did this death-free gold medal come from?" ”

Chi Le admired Chu Tiankuo's insightfulness very much. actually recognized this as a death-free gold medal. He smiled at Chu Tiankuo and said with a smile: "Of course it was given to me by the emperor." Take it and use it, and it will forgive your sins. ”

Chu Tiankuo didn't have time to think about it, and decisively refused: "I have changed my mind now." There must be something strange about Xia He's death. I'm going to overturn the case. Perhaps, Lu Hao should not have been sentenced to death, and I have forgivable circumstances for robbing the prisoner. “

Chi Le asked very seriously: "How sure are you?" ”

Chu Tiankuo's expression was serious, and his tone was firm: "Very sure." Brother Chi Le, you put away the gold medal for avoiding death. If you don't know, you will be able to come in handy one day. ”

I'll go! The corners of Chi Le's mouth twitched, pretending to be annoyed: "Don't curse me like this!" ”

Chu Tian smiled widely.
