The second time
I don't know how long it took, Zeng Xuanjun heard someone talking around him in a daze, and he was a little conscious, but he found that he had a sharp pain in the back of his head. I vaguely remember that it seems that someone was sneak attacked by a man in black while he was squatting down to load the brocade box, yes, the brocade box......
Zeng Xuanjun was conscious instantly, he was still lying on the ground, and he couldn't care about the pain in the back of his head, so he sat up suddenly, only to find that the brocade box beside him was long gone. It must have been taken by the man in black who attacked him, but damn, this benefit has not been obtained but it has been lost.
When I heard the voices of people around me, I realized that there were people around.
"He's awake, hurry up and call your lord."
Zeng Xuanjun realized that it was dusk at this time, and there were 5 people standing around. If you look closely, you can see that these people are all dressed in black, and their clothes look like snakes, not fishes, and they are flying into the air...... This is a flying fish suit, and each person is also equipped with a knife...... This is the embroidered spring knife...... They are the brocade guards.
At this time, a person in the distance heard a voice and walked over, and this person's clothes were even more dazzling, wearing alternating red and yellow clothes. When the man walked in, he found that the clothes were covered with snake-like patterns, which were python patterns. The stupid people also know that this is the famous Supreme Commander of the Jinyi Guard, and this person is Saihazhi. Look at this costume, it must be after participating in some activities in the palace before leaving the palace.
This is common sense, Jin Yiwei generally lives in the palace, and wearing a python pattern costume must have accompanied the emperor to participate in some important occasion. But it doesn't matter, I'm here to deliver the brocade box, and there will definitely be many benefits...... Brocade Box ...... Originally, he was still a little scared when he saw Jin Yiwei, but when he thought of the brocade box, Zeng Xuanjun panicked again.
Saihazhi looked Zeng Xuanjun up and down and asked, "Just now someone came to report that a young man in tattered clothes was looking for his envoy, right?" What are you doing lying by the wall? ”
Zeng Xuanjun was frightened by this sound like rainbow thunder, is this the majesty of Jinyiwei? is worthy of being the supreme leader of Jinyiwei, this aura can scare Zeng Xuanjun, who has never seen the world, into not daring to move. It can be said that it is good that this kid is not so scared that he pees out at this time, but it still makes his whole body tremble.
The man in a black flying fish suit next to him said, "Your Excellency is asking you something, answer quickly." ”
Zeng Xuanjun immediately came back to his senses and said, "Yes... Someone...... Someone asked me to send, send a brocade ...... Jin box to Beijing to find... Look for...... Looking for an adult...... And said, and said big...... My lord...... Yes...... There will be good ...... Benefits to ...... Give me...... I ......" as the voice became lower and lower, especially the last sentence, so low that I couldn't hear it clearly.
"Nishiki box?" As soon as he heard the brocade box, Saihazhi suddenly came to his senses, and he took two steps closer and looked at Zeng Xuanjun.
The person next to him was interested and immediately asked, "What brocade box?" ”
Zeng Xuanjun slurred, "Small...... Neither...... I don't know, just say what might cause ...... Arouse the martial arts ...... Martial Arts Catastrophe ......"
The man asked, "Where's the brocade box?" ”
Zeng Xuanjun replied tremblingly, "The little one is looking for ...... Outside the palace gate, look for ...... I can't find an adult, so I can only wait for ...... by the city wall, and then ...... And then I don't know...... Somehow, someone stole it...... Sneak attack, brocade box...... Jin Box ...... "Speaking of this, Zeng Xuanjun was embarrassed and didn't dare to say any more.
Another brocade guard said, "My lord, ...... about this brocade box?" ”
Saihazhi frowned and said, "This is an important task, and Jinyi Wei will never let a nameless boy come to report the news." If this is true, it means that they have died in battle, and finally did this last resort. ”
"My lord, what about this brocade box?"
"I had to send someone to check again."
"Yes."
One of them suddenly drew his knife and walked towards Zeng Xuanjun. Zeng Xuanjun was immediately so frightened that he sweated all over, this is the reward? No wonder the old man didn't come by himself, it turned out that he asked the master and me to send him to death? Phew, no, no, why are you still thinking about blaming Master at this time. But in the current situation, isn't it just about killing people and killing people?
At this moment, Seha Zhi said, "Wait. ”
"My lord, this person can't stay."
Sehazhi said sharply, "Idiot, this is by the walls of the palace, and it is very troublesome to die a person. Besides, if what he said was true, the person who robbed the brocade box could have killed him to prevent future troubles, so why should he be spared? If he was lying, and the brocade box was still in his hands, wouldn't he have lost the last clue? ”
Several people bowed their heads and hugged their fists, "What the adults said is extremely true. ”
One of them said, "According to the adult's will, what should I do with this kid?" ”
"Send it to prison. First check whether the brocade box was hidden by him or if it was really stolen. ”
"Yes."
In this way, Jinyiwei handed over Zeng Xuanjun to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. The Five Cities Terracotta Prison is divided into five prisons: east, south, west, north, and middle, so it is also called the Five Cities Terracotta Prison, which is under the jurisdiction of the Five Cities Terracotta and Horses Division. Usually, the people of Jinyiwei are mainly locked up in prison, so that Jinyiwei can bring prisoners for interrogation at any time. But the middle prison is actually a place where important prisoners are held, so it can only be locked up to the Jinyi Wei can be managed, but it is not a particularly important western prison.
Xizhao Prison is actually not big, and important prisoners are held in a separate room. For a person like Zeng Xuanjun who is not a political dignitary, he can't waste space in detention, so he cobbled together a cell for two people.
Zeng Xuanjun was the first time to enter this kind of place, it was dark but not damp, but a little dry. The thick walls were made of iron railings, and the windows were only half the size of a head. The cell was not large, with some bricks and earth on the left and right sides, and some wooden planks on it, and a little straw on the wooden boards, which seemed to be the two simple beds in the cell.
There was a man sitting cross-legged on one of the beds, but it was too dark to see clearly, and only a figure could be seen. Zeng Xuanjun was still very afraid, but after a while, this person was meditating on the bed and did not move, and Zeng Xuanjun slowly let down his guard and fear. On the contrary, as time passed, this person did not move, could it be that he was already dead?
Zeng Xuanjun took a few steps towards the person in the darkness and observed, but it was still too dark to see anything clearly, and he curled up again. In the end, I couldn't help but whisper, "Hey...... Hello, are you still alive? ”
There was no reaction for a moment, Zeng Xuanjun was curious, but he was afraid that the person opposite was a corpse. After a long pause, he asked the same question again. But the man remained motionless and did not say a word.
It's normal for people to die in this place, right? Zeng Xuanjun couldn't help but be scared, this place was so dark, he suddenly felt so eerie and terrifying, and unconsciously said, "It can't be a dead person, right?" ”
I could only hear the person who meditated making a deep but not loud voice, and said leisurely, "Quiet for a thousand years, Chongquan lives in seclusion." You should not follow the lame turtle, but rather the fish. ”
When he first started to read the first sentence, Zeng Xuanjun was so frightened that he sat on the ground. But since he had spoken, he was a human being, and he was still a living person, so he quickly stood up. When it comes to culture, Zeng Xuanjun doesn't have much, but that bastard master Nian Xuzi still taught him to read for a few years, and he also recognized a lot of words and some poems.
After listening to the verse, he hurriedly replied, "This verse seems to be talking about turtles, right?" You...... You...... Are you saying that you are the eighth king? As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Xuanjun felt that it was inappropriate, after all, this was a place where prisoners were held, in case this person was a villain who killed people without blinking, wouldn't it be self-defeating to offend himself like this? But the words are all out, and there is no way to take it back.
But this person was also strange, but he was not angry, he just stood up slowly, and this time Zeng Xuanjun was extremely nervous. But as the man moved a few steps forward, it was clear through the light reflected in the tiny window that the man was an old man.
I saw that although he was skinny, he had an extraordinary bearing, probably because he had been locked up in the cell for a long time. However, his overall image is also plump and burly, with big ears and round eyes, a beard like a halberd, although his body is a little dirty but not messy, and his hair is also gray with some stains, but it can also be seen that his hair is completely white. Zeng Xuanjun immediately relaxed his vigilance, such an old man, if he really made a move, he should be able to take advantage of himself by relying on his youth and strength. But when I turned my head and thought about it, this old man was locked up here at such an old age, what did he do, is he really a heinous madman? Thinking about this, I can't help but have new worries.
The old man just looked at the young man in front of him carefully, but he looked at Zeng Xuanjun at a loss. This old man doesn't want to eat people, does he? Look at yourself so obscenely.
The old man said, "Young man, what did you do to come in?" ”
What is this good question about? Zeng Xuanjun thought about it for a while, could it be that this old man is also a villain who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard? If you praise yourself as "majestic", will you be able to frighten this old man?
Clearing his throat, Zeng Xuanjun said, "I...... Cough... Cough...... I'm a big bad guy who kills people like heinous people and doesn't do anything wrong, so ...... So don't you want to do anything~"
The old man looked at the young man and chuckled, "Hahahaha...... I don't think you look like you, haven't you even killed anyone? ”
When it came to killing, Zeng Xuanjun suddenly became nervous, indeed, let alone killing people since he was a child, he never even killed chickens and fish. Even the game caught for Master was a knife moved by Master, but he immediately replied, "Nonsense, who said that...... Say...... I haven't killed anyone, I haven't ...... I haven't killed anyone...... Why am I here? ”
The old man shook his head and sighed, "Hey...... Do you know where this is? ”
"Isn't it Wuzhao Prison, what's not to know about this?"
"This is the prisoners in Wuzhao Prison who are not close to each other, and this Xizhao Prison, the prisoners may not be felons, but they are all criminals in Dongchang or Jinyiwei. It is also convenient for the Zhao Prison Division or Dongchang and Jinyiwei to be arraigned. And the double prison we are in can be described as a non-felon's cell, young man, you don't understand anything, I can't bear to frame you. The old man explained while looking at Zeng Xuanjun with a smile.
This statement made Zeng Xuanjun blush, it is true that he doesn't understand this, and what he says will be laughed at by this old man. At this moment, I blame myself for not learning the foundation well before, and I made it all possible at this moment. But after thinking about it, then this old man is not a big villain? It's just a small mistake or offended Jinyiwei and Dongchang and was imprisoned in Xizhao Prison, which is the farthest away from the imperial city?
"Then old man, why are you locked up here?" After Zeng Xuanjun guessed the identity of the old man, he changed his tone and asked cautiously.
The old man didn't care about him, he returned to his seat, closed his eyes and sat down to regulate his breath. Zeng Xuanjun still wanted to ask, but when he saw that the old man ignored him, he didn't force it, so he rested in his seat.
