Chapter 7: Removing the Corpse (1)
After the two of them left the prison, they did not leave in a hurry, but hid in a large hall outside the prison, from where they could easily see the scene outside the prison.
After waiting for about half an hour, Fang Ling saw a four-golden-armored guard carrying a sedan chair coming, and he knew that the Heavenly Master of Zhenguo had arrived.
Whether it is the Zhenguo Heavenly Master or the Zhentian Tower, it is a mystery to most people in the imperial city, but it is well known that the people who guard the Zhentian Tower are the elites selected by the Chu Emperor himself among the imperial guards, and these people are wearing a bright gold armor, which is very conspicuous.
The officials at all levels of the prison had already come outside, and when the sedan chair stopped, they lowered their heads one by one, not daring to raise their heads. Everyone knows that the Heavenly Master of Zhenguo is a master of immortal arts, and even the Emperor of Chu has to be respectful when he sees it, let alone a courtier?
Fang Ling originally wanted to see what this Zhenguo Heavenly Master looked like, but what disappointed him was that the Zhenguo Heavenly Master was wearing a black robe, from head to toe, only two eyes were exposed, and he couldn't see clearly at all, but he walked as if he was floating on the ground, looking completely weird.
However, Rao is like this, and the generals of the Heavenly Prison are also extremely respectful, after all, how can anyone in the world dare to pretend to be the Heavenly Master of Zhenguo? That is a great crime of the Nine Clans, not to mention, these gold-armored guards are a powerful god, and they are also very popular characters in the palace, and no one can pretend to be them.
Time passed slowly, and Fang Ling couldn't help but be a little faintly worried, if the female assassin's fake death hadn't been hidden from the Zhenguo Heavenly Master, then the matter would be serious, and it might even involve himself.
However, this is no longer the time to fear for one's own safety, and it is already an impossible way to turn back, both for herself and for the female assassin.
But fortunately, after waiting for a while, the black-robed Zhenguo Heavenly Master walked out of the entrance of the prison, sat in a sedan chair and left without saying a word.
Fang Ling also settled down, and went to the mass grave with Dong Canghai.
The mass grave is the place where the corpses are thrown after the establishment of the prison, in fact, it is a sinkhole behind the East Mountain, which is also called the mass grave, which means that the sinkhole is deep and large, and it is not satisfied with the tens of thousands of people who throw it in.
In fact, the number of people who can be imprisoned in the prison is very small compared to the prison of the Criminal Department, and only a few dozen corpses are cleared out every five years.
Although the sinkhole is not far from the outside of the palace, after all, it is still in the palace, and some people have also talked about the yin qi here is too heavy and not auspicious enough, but according to the words of Emperor Chu, these people are too resentful after death, and they are afraid that they will turn into ghosts and chaos elsewhere, so they can only be suppressed by the dragon qi of the imperial city, so that they will suffer here forever, which is also a deterrent to those who rebel.
The guards guarding the mass grave are all characters at the bottom of the box in the criminal department, either offending their bosses, or making mistakes, in short, a group of veterans who have no future at all, compared to the oil and water in the prison, it seems to be much more bitter here, and the only oil and water that can be caught is that someone is willing to pay a high price for the corpse.
