The city lord's mansion sits in the west and faces east, and its back is a piece of dwelling at first, and then it is suddenly desolate for more than ten miles, the buildings are scarce, and a large area of wilderness grows with sparse shrubs and wild grasses, which makes people feel that they are in the wilderness.

Gu Heng ran for thirty miles, and suddenly two huge white stone square pillars suddenly appeared in front of him, and there was still a wilderness behind the square pillars, and there was no prison in sight, and there were several people standing on both sides of the pillars.
Gu Heng landed, walked up to a person one high and one low, raised the token in his hand and asked, "I'm going to go in to find a person named Da Nan, can you show me the way?"
When the leader saw the token, he immediately bowed down and said, "Childe, please come with me." ”
The man walked through the stone pillar, stretched out his hand and pressed on the stone pillar on the left, and in an instant, the red light shone behind the two stone pillars, and then a huge stone square city slowly stretched out of the ground, and finally sat completely on the ground.
Gu Heng looked up at this small city and found that this city was completely square in the shape of a stone, but it was a wonderful prison place. The dungeon is made of stones of similar size, and the stone walls are full of large and small windows.
The dungeon roared, and a stone door opened on the stone wall in front of him, and a person walked out of the door, dressed in black, holding a stick, and when he saw Gu Heng, he scolded viciously: "Damn, there is another short-lived ghost!"
The person who led the way hurriedly said: "Xing Wu, this son is not a sinner, he wants to find a person named Da Nan because he has something, so you can take him in." ”
"Is there a token?" Xing Wu looked at Gu Heng vigilantly, put away his stick and asked.
Gu Heng took out the token, Xing Wuzai looked at it carefully a few times, confirmed that it was true, and then sealed it with both hands, opened a small opening of the dungeon seal, and said in his mouth: "Come in from this seal." ”
Gu Heng bent down and got in, and Xing Wu closed the seal again.
"Da Nan, there are thousands of prisoners here, if you want to find him, go to the record office with me to find out which room he is in." Xing Wu looked at the appearance of Gu Heng's foot, and did not slow down, and strode in front, Gu Heng followed him around a few places, and came to a room full of books.
This room is darker than the outside, but much brighter than the rest of the room. There was a man in the room holding a pen and bowing his head to write something, and when he heard the sound, he put down the pen, looked up and saw Gu Heng and replied: "It turned out that he was not a prisoner." ”
Xing Wu replied: "This kid wants to find a person named Da Nan, you check it for me in that cell." ”
The man nodded, took out several books from the pile of rosters behind him and piled them on the table, then picked up one book and flipped through them slowly. Gu Heng waited for a while, but saw that the man hadn't even finished a tenth of a book, so he was a little anxious and asked, "How long do you need to find it?"
The man didn't raise his head, and replied perfunctorily: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, look for it slowly, don't miss it." ”
Gu Heng had no choice but to continue waiting, this time after waiting for half an hour, the man finished the fourth book, and even Xing Wu on the side was a little impatient, and said irritably: "Lao Yi, when do you want to find it? Come on, come, I'll look for it with you." ”
The old man was obviously a little reluctant, but looking at so many rosters, he was afraid that he would have to find another hour, so he had to say: "Then you have to be careful, don't break it for me." ”
"Alright, alright, got it. Xing Wu took a few copies and began to search quickly, and found it after a while: "Hey, Lao Yi, is this the person?"
Lao Yi snorted, tilted his neck to look at it, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's this person, he can't be wrong to call this name here." ”
Xing Wu nodded, and said while watching: "Da Nan, the Mu clan was imprisoned for robbery and murder in June 103, and he was beheaded in October this year, yo, I have stayed for more than two years, fortunately, you came in time, and this person will be executed in two months." ”
"What, execution?" Gu Heng had never been in contact with the laws and discipline of the mainland, and he didn't know that there was a death penalty, so he was a little surprised for a while.
Xing Wu replied: "The murderer dies, human nature, this guy is in the bottom of the 52nd prison on death row, let's go!" He threw the roster on the table and strode back, this loss frightened the man, holding the roster and scolding Xing Wu for messing around.
"Death row prisoners are on the lower floors, and the road is far. Xing Wu also ignored the man, and said to Gu Heng as he walked.
The two of them came to a long, dimly lit passage, guarded by six people on both sides of the passage, and a small group of people came out of the passage from time to time to patrol inside.
Gu Heng followed Xing Wu into the passage, the passage was not spacious, only two people could pass, deep and long, boundless, although illuminated by torches, but still black, as if leading to an unknown world.
The two walked for a long time, and finally heard a voice from the front, Gu Heng heard it and thought it was there, but Xing Wu said: "This layer is only detained by some robbers and thieves, and Da Nan is still below." ”
The two walked out of the passage, and they were greeted by a slightly smelly moisture, so hot that Gu Heng couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, Xing Wu said: "It's okay here, but when you get to the death row, you can bear the smell." ”
The two walked through a prison full of prisoners, and saw countless prisoners lying in the cage squinting at the two of them, their eyes timid, not daring to look up. Seeing that there were windows in several cages, Gu Heng turned his head to look, but saw that it was dark outside the window, and he couldn't see the scenery outside.
After passing through the first floor, the two began to step down the stairs again, the further down they went, the darker it became, until they came to the end of the stairs, there was a cliff in front of them, and the stone steps disappeared abruptly, Gu Heng looked at the dark abyss below the cliff, and asked puzzledly: "These death row prisoners are all down here?"
Xing Wu nodded, his hands were sealed, and then a red light flashed under the cliff, and the bright Gu Heng couldn't open his eyes.
The red light disappeared, and a hill slowly floated in the originally dark abyss, and the broken stone steps at the foot of Gu Heng had been connected by the red stone steps at this moment, and the two stepped on the stone steps and approached the hill step by step.
There were more than a dozen guards at the mountain gate, and when they saw Xing Wu and Gu Heng, one of them asked, "Xing Wu, what are you doing today?" I don't think this young man is a sinner, right?"
Xing Wu shook his head and said: "If the prisoner can still be so polite? He came to find the prisoner Da Nan, I have checked, then Da Nan is locked up on the top floor No. 52, you can take him there, I will not accompany him." ”
"Okay, okay, leave it to us. Those people were quite enthusiastic and agreed, but when Xing Wu left, those people immediately changed their faces, and one person stepped forward, seeing that Gu Heng was young and dressed dirty, he looked down on him, and said loudly: "Yo yo yo, this son, who are you Danan, and you came to see him?"
Gu Heng replied: "I asked him to ask about the whereabouts of a person. ”
Another said, "You see that we are guarding these dying people here every day, should we be rewarded and repaid?"
Gu Heng naturally didn't understand, and asked strangely: "I'm just here to find someone, what do you have to do with me?"
When those people heard this, they all held their breath, and said in their hearts, this kid really didn't understand the meaning of the words, so he didn't talk nonsense, and one of them simply stepped forward and asked, "Boy, did you bring any money?"
"I brought some. Gu Heng took out the money bag, the eyes of the group of people lit up, and said with a smile: "Boy, we don't look like you're very rich, give us half and let you in!"
Gu Hengxin said, does it cost money to enter here? He didn't understand, so he reached out and took out two taels of gold, handed it to one person and said, "Give you half of it." Those people were stunned when they saw that Gu Heng actually took out the gold, but after a while, everyone rushed up, and one of them shouted: "Put it all together for me, don't rob anyone!" After he shouted this, his face suddenly became quite flattering, and he bent down and smiled at Gu Heng and said: "Childe, you want to see Danan, come, please here." ”
Gu Hengxin said that he really wanted to pay, and this person's attitude became better, so he followed the person and walked inside.
The hill is divided into three levels, the top floor is for ordinary death row inmates, the second floor is for dangerous people, and the third floor is for several extremely terrifying prisoners.
The more Gu Heng walked inside, the stronger the smell became, like feces and urine mixed and fermented, which made people want to vomit.
After a few turns, the man stopped outside a cell, Gu Heng looked up, and saw a mottled fifty-two written on the beam of the cell, which seemed to have arrived. Inside the cell, a man with disheveled hair and dirty clothes curled up in a corner and sleeping, his feet piled with straw and wood chips, a pig's nest.
Gu Heng's heart was beating wildly, his breathing was short and restless, he took out the picture scroll tremblingly, and was about to ask, when the leader suddenly shouted: "Da Nan, fucking dying and still sleeping, get up, someone has come to see you." ”
The man shouted a few times before Da Nan twisted his ass slightly, and returned indistinctly: "Don't play with me, I have no relatives and no reason, who will come to see me?"
The man scolded when he heard this: "Get up for me, don't think about eating today if you don't get up again!" This sentence was like thunder, so frightened that Danan jumped up violently, limped a few steps and smiled: "Don't don't, I still want to eat a few full meals." As soon as he looked up, he saw Gu Heng, and his face was full of strangeness, could it be that this kid came to see him? But he had never seen him at all.
Gu Heng looked at the lame Da Nan, only to see that his face was covered with mud, his face was yellow and thin, and he looked thin, but he was very pitiful, he didn't talk nonsense, he unfolded the picture scroll and handed it to Da Nan and asked, "Have you seen this person?"
That Da Nan was originally lazy and lazy, but when he saw the portrait, he suddenly rushed forward, slammed into the railing and stared at the portrait tightly, his face instantly turned hideous, he jumped up and down angrily, and scolded: "I've seen it, this bastard has hurt me so miserably, how can I not remember?"
