Nanshao City Prison.

Seeing the legendary prison for the first time, Jiang Li can still look around quite freshly. After a few days, I was a little bored. There is no dark day depicted in the book, there is no hideous and fierce cell boss, and there are no eighteen kinds of torture that people talk about, it seems to be an ordinary courtyard, even those houses are more than half empty, only the daily meals and fixed wind time, only a few figures are sparsely seen, very depressed.

Li Xinglin still went to work in the government office across the wall during the day, and returned to the prison at night. The gray cat disappeared day by day, and he didn't know where to go to live happily.

Fortunately, there is everything to eat and drink, Cao Ru knows his cooking skills, and he doesn't go to make any home-cooked dishes, but every day he looks for the most famous shops in the city, and takes turns ordering them to send them.

Jiang Li looked at the two cells not far from the entrance of the dungeon, which were the closest temporary residences for him and Li Xinglin, although they had been washed back and forth several times, the room facing north was full of the unique musty smell of the damp environment for many years, thinking that those fleas and ticks walking in the dark would climb on his newly built bamboo bed at night from time to time, Jiang Li was a chill. However, Li Xinglin next door could still snore every night, and Jiang Li, who had two dark circles under his eyes every day, began to wonder if he would be the worst among the disciples of the Sword Pavilion walking in the world.

What a prison sentence!

I couldn't even stand the little sword, and shouted to go back: This place is so humid, is it a sword stupid, Lao Tzu can't have rust spots on his body after a long time, what is the most important thing for a woman, in addition to being beautiful, she has good skin.

Jiang Li persuaded this ancestor to go back, and he didn't even dare to slander himself. Although it is not a natal flying sword, I don't know what method I use, and I know what thoughts in the sea The little sword is clear, according to this aunt's temperament of inquiring and holding grudges, I can't block myself.

The so-called dungeon is really very simple. The huge entrance is open to the ground, and you can see the stone chiseled stairs that go straight down to the bottom of the cave at a glance, and there is still a little bit of secrecy at all, if the prison robbers rush in, they don't need to bother looking for it.

In the face of Jiang Li's questioning, Li Xinglin didn't care at all, and didn't think that the disrepair of the Nanshao Prison was negligent and negligent in guarding against the achievements of the city lord, but he was proud, and he boasted about it by quoting scriptures, which roughly meant that the Daxing Prison was not an important thing for the government to govern, and it was not a blessing for the people to live in peace. Later, he even moved out the allusion that the king of Jizo Bodhisattva and hell is not empty and does not swear to become a Buddha, only to hear Jiang Li stunned and amazed, and said in his heart that this guy really quarreled and couldn't talk about crooked reasoning.

However, in addition to the fact that the entrance is a little rough, the innate conditions of the dungeon are quite remarkable, and even Jiang Li, a layman, nods frequently when he sees it. The abandoned mine was dug very deep and long, and there were a few turns in the middle, and there was no end in sight when lying at the mouth of the cave. The stone steps leading to the ground are also extremely simple, the steps are not smooth, not even smooth, and the surrounding stone walls can be seen everywhere with the marks of axes and chisels. The stairs for the miners were naturally not so elaborate, and the stone steps were extremely steep and narrow, allowing only one person to pass, and they had to be careful to climb up and down with both hands and feet.

Jiang Li squatted at the entrance of the cave and poked his head down, looking at the faint light from the depths, projected on the stone wall, swaying between the falling shadows of the jagged rubble. He snorted heavily, his voice in a strange tone, and listened to the echo that swirled three times in the depths of the dungeon, one more than yesterday, and a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Look at how small and deep this hole is, let alone crawl out by yourself, it's even more difficult to take him out." Jiang Li turned his head and said strangely, "I just beat him beyond recognition, and I broke my hands and tendons." This kind of murderous method is not like Lao Li's benevolence and righteousness. ”

"The public is so angry about this case that those cell bosses and jailers really can't stand it, and it is inevitable that the attack will be a little heavier. If I hadn't tried my best to protect it, these murderers would have been dismantled into pieces, how could I still hang a breath and leave it until the autumn to behead. Li Xinglin, who had just returned from the government, stood not far away, looked at Jiang Li's back, and explained.

Jiang Li looked suspicious, seeing Li Xinglin's words with a dignified attitude, he couldn't find evidence to refute it for a while, thinking that it was not a matter of importance, so he gave up, just squatted at the entrance of the cave, and asked with curiosity, "You say, this, this nephew of Li Mi, who stayed in the northwest well, why did he come to southern Xinjiang and do such a thing that lost his conscience." ”

"Seeing the lust, it is not uncommon for things to be defeated, haven't you turned over the file these days?" Li Xinglin returned to his cell, dragged a bench out and sat down, looked up at the sky, the clouds were fading, and the other prisons had already delivered dinner at the moment, thinking about the food from the restaurant that would be delivered from the house in a while, and replied absentmindedly, "Deserting the army without permission is a big crime of killing the head, naturally the farther away the better, what's so strange." Why do you have to come to Nanshao, then you can only go down and ask him yourself. ”

"You think I didn't ask." Jiang Li clapped his hands, stood up, sat next to Li Xinglin's bench, and said boredly, "People are beating you like this, your mouth doesn't even have time to breathe, what else do you ask." I snorted twice, but it sounded like a local scolding vernacular. Phew! ”

Li Xinglin was surprised and blurted out, "Can you still speak?" ”

"Lao Li, you're not authentic. The heart is reluctant to look at your face. Did you do something wrong, bending into a trick, afraid that he would open his mouth to overturn the case? ”

Li Xinglin smiled, touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "I can really think about it, how can I, Li Xinglin, do such a dirty thing." It's just that the day before yesterday, the cell boss came to report that the prisoner had been asleep all day and couldn't speak. I even got a doctor to treat him. ”

"You man, you have a tight belly, and you can't believe it all. I'll have to tell my sister when I get back, and ask her to keep an eye on you. Jiang Li pursed his lips and continued, "This prison is to watch the guards lax, and you also look harmless enough to people and animals." But there have been a lot of elites in the army in your mansion recently, and there are still three martial artists guarding the house across the street. A little further on, there were even a few masters arranged at the entrance of the alley. Not to mention that there must be other arrangements in the prison, plus I am staying here, this is waiting to catch turtles in the urn. ”

"Lao Li, if you are so generous, just for a murderer, I won't believe it if I beat it to death!"

Li Xinglin stood up with bright eyes, and he looked particularly bright in the twilight. He didn't look ashamed at all because his calculations were exposed, and his face showed a look of shock and excitement, and he said slowly, "What you said is almost all right, but there is one wrong. ”

"I didn't arrange those arrangements at the entrance of the alley!"

－－－

The candied fruit shop in the east of Nanshao City, the business has been tepid for many years, a few days ago I changed the owner, the shot is generous, even the shop with the whole building are down, I thought it would be a change to do some money-making business, who would have thought that the new owner was not even bothered to change the plaque on the door, even the old shopkeeper and the two guys in the store did not move, continue to do the old business of candied fruit.

In the past few days, the new owner surnamed Fu came to take inventory, but he didn't look at all the account books, and he just casually asked a few irrelevant words every day, and went straight to the third floor with a few entourage. The old shopkeeper looked at the shop in the past few days and was a little more deserted than before, for fear of being blamed by the new owner, he hesitated for a long time or held the account book, and wanted to explain a thing or two to the new owner, but the stairs were only halfway to the east and were stopped by the owner's entourage. It wasn't until the proprietor passed down the words of encouragement that the old shopkeeper with white hair and beard was relieved, and said that the new proprietor's personality was far from being as mean as his face.

Although it was nominally presided over by Wang Zhi, in fact, in this room on the third floor, which was not spacious on the street, it was the grandfather Fu who sat in the middle of the main seat, and on the left sat Mr. Yi, who had always been in his hands, and several attendants stood straight behind the two. Wang Zhiyi and Sanpin Taishou sat at the bottom, but no one felt that there was anything wrong, since he had already boarded the big ship of the second prince, the order and everything naturally had to follow the rules on the ship.

Fu Gonggong took a sip of the tea cup and glanced out of the window, the location here is excellent, diagonally opposite to the two alleys is the government prison, there is no high-rise building in the middle, and it is very transparent at a glance. It's just that it's past dusk at this moment, and the night is getting heavier, and I can't see it clearly.

Father-in-law Fu frowned, thinking about the young man he had seen wandering around in the courtyard of the prison before, although he couldn't see his eyebrows clearly, but the swaying posture of walking, no matter how he looked at it, he felt familiar and disgusting, and it only took a moment for him to find the source of this disgust, recalling the secret loss he had eaten on the lakeside path of the Red Sleeve Building a few days ago, and his frowning brows were even more distorted into an angry shape.

"Your Highness said that it must be alive." Taking the opportunity to put down the teacup, Father-in-law Fu put aside these not-so-important emotions first, looked at the starry lights of Nanshao Prison in the night, and emphasized hoarsely, "It has to be alive, not only to rob people out, but also to prevent the Li City Lord from jumping over the wall and killing people." ”

"In the past few days, I have transferred the garrison of this place to prevent Li Xinglin from making a fuss about it." Wang Zhi arched his hand and hesitated, "It's just that Li Xinglin has been living in prison every day recently, and he is in the way, so if he really gets in the way, do you want to ...... it?"

Wang Zhi used his palm as a knife and gestured on his neck.

Fu Gonggong turned his head, and a pair of yellowed eyes stared at Wang Zhi with a smile in his sunken eye sockets, like a phosphophopho fire that looked very mad. Thinking that the subordinate in front of him who volunteered to persuade himself actually said that the other party slept directly in the prison day and night to be on guard, he was really a talent. Fu Gonggong pressed the unhappiness in his heart and said, "It's just robbing people, but it's not about killing people." His Royal Highness specially said that this city lord surnamed Li is a little more upright, but he is also a capable and ruthless person, and he can't be killed if it's not easy to kill. ”

Wang Zhi hurriedly said yes and shut up. Mr. Yi, who had never been focused on the topic here, put down the scroll, and he asked suspiciously, "But these people also want us to save what to do." ”
