It was silent and empty, cold and damp, and there was a musty smell of blood in the air.

Walking in this long corridor, only the empty footsteps of Xu Yuan and Xu Mengxi echoed quietly.

Walking all the way, Xu Yuan could clearly see the miserable appearance of the prisoners in the cells on both sides.

The people who are locked up in this edict are either some giants of one side, or important ministers of the court who have been in the court for a while.

But now these people are a blur of flesh and blood, some are not human, and the muffles of pain coming from their mouths are blocked by the soundproof array of the cells.

Those who have been imprisoned have basically nothing to do with people.

This is the first time Xu Yuan has come to this kind of place.

The Imperial Prison is known as the Three Great Prisons of Great Yan and the Heavenly Prison and the Black Prison.

The first two are official in nature, while the latter are private.

They have a great reputation among the high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and they have a lot of reputations such as framing the loyal and good, and bending them into tricks.

Thinking about some messy things, Xu Yuan set his eyes on the slender figure in front of him.

A long high ponytail kept dangling behind Xu Mengxi's head, and she seemed very happy to be able to catch him in this prison.

Sure enough, it's the same as Cangyuanli, it's a standard tsundere with cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

However, considering the previous holidays, this woman should be a real cold on the outside and cold on the inside.

Just thinking about it, Xu Mengxi suddenly stopped in front of him.

Xu Yuan gathered his thoughts and asked:

"Arrived?"

Xu Mengxi ignored him, opened a cell next to him with the key, turned his eyes back, and coldly spit out two words:

"Get in."

A slightly sharp voice echoed through the long hallway.

Xu Yuan glanced at the cell and didn't move.

Happy fun, can you live in this kind of place?

It was dark and damp, a wooden table, a wooden chair, and a straw mat soaked in the black-brown blood of the previous owner.

Xu Mengxi saw this scene, his chest was not plump and rose twice, and he was weird:

"Third Prince, do you think this place doesn't suit your identity?"

Xu Yuan glanced at the various blood-stained torture instruments in the torture room, and turned his eyes back:

"I remember, your secret investigation department is only responsible for arresting people, and the interrogator and arranging the torture room should be the responsibility of the director of the Imperial Prison."

When Xu Mengxi heard this, he smiled at Xu Yuan:

"Don't work the third prince is worried, this area on the banks of the Longping River is under the control of the little woman, you commit a crime there, according to the law of Dayan, I, the punishment envoy from the fourth grade, has the right to detain you for three days."

"Huh?" Xu Yuan didn't know much about these legal bends and said, "Really? ”

"How dare the little woman lie to you?"

Xu Mengxi's eyes were bent into two crescents:

"Next, the third son, you will spend an unforgettable time with me in this room."

Xu Yuan smiled: "Okay." ”

strode into the torture room, sat on the only chair in the torture room with Erlang's legs crossed, and glanced back at the flat-chested woman at the door:

"Since the beautiful woman is invited, this son naturally can't refuse."

Speaking of which,

Xu Yuan took out a bottle of drunken immortal brew and two portable Mingwen lamps from the Sumeru ring, and poured himself a drink:

"Come, help me hang up, this place is too dark, my son is not used to it."

"Shhhh Xu Mengxi's eyes breathed fire.

"Don't breathe, no matter how much you breathe, it won't get bigger."

“.”

Finally, taking a deep breath, Xu Mengxi walked closer and slapped it directly on the desk, and the wine in the bottle shook for a while, word by word:

"Xu Changtian, this is the edict, hand over the Sumeru ring!"

Xu Yuan's drinking action froze, and he blinked his eyes:

"Huh? Doesn't this edict allow the use of Sumeru vows? ”

“.”

Xu Mengxi took a breath and chuckled angrily:

"What do you say?"

Xu Yuan nodded, slowly took off the Sumeru ring from his fingers, put it on the table, and said with a gentle smile:

"Okay, since Mengxi said so, then I don't need to."

Xu Mengxi picked up the Sumeru ring.

Xu Yuan's eyes were full of surprise:

"Are you sure you want to take my Sumeru ring?"

Xu Mengxi snorted:

"If you're worried that I'll steal your things, there's no need to, this Sumeru ring will be placed in the storage cabinet of the Imperial Prison, and if you can go out, it will naturally return you."

"Okay, if you want to take it, take it, anyway, it's full of some property pills."

Xu Yuan glanced at her deeply, and then spread his hands:

"If Mengxi wants to do something to me, it's best to do it now, if it's a quarter of an hour and a half in the evening, you probably won't have a chance."

"Xu Changtian, you don't seem to have figured out the situation."

Xu Mengxi stood at the table, and the bright-patterned lamp placed on the table made her face a little gloomy in this dim cell: "Everything you did in the past was a rooster and a dog thief, and today you have affected the military affairs, do you think you can still go out?" ”

Xu Yuan lifted his cuffs and propped his elbows on the desk:

"Although I didn't know in advance, the result was to kill an important envoy, considering the court and the public opinion of all parties, I don't think I will be able to go out soon."

Xu Mengxi smiled when he heard this, but the next moment Xu Yuan's slow voice came over again:

"But I don't think I'm going to live here either."

“.”

Xu Mengxi clenched his fists slightly.

There is no king's law.

Wild.

Of course, because of the powerful prime minister, this gentleman would not be executed even if he committed a heinous crime, but by beheading the envoy of another country, she would at least let him take off a layer of skin.

Give this a lesson for those who have suffered in the past to remember for a lifetime.

"Don't believe it."

Xu Yuan sighed softly, his fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, and the soft sound of "Du" and "Du" echoed:

"In order to prevent you from doing some stupid things to me, within a quarter of an hour, there is a high probability that a high-ranking important minister will come to you, it may be the commander of the Imperial Prison, but it is more likely that it will be your master, the chief of the secret investigation department, in short, this person will tell you that he will take over this matter.

"You will be dissatisfied, you will feel aggrieved, but he will remove you with strong reasons like you are not good enough to handle such things."

"And when I see him, I will tell him that my Sumeru Ring has been taken away by you, and he will ask you to return me, but at this time, I will lose a Yang Marrow Pill in my Sumeru Ring, which is not too expensive, and it is only about 10,000 taels of silver.

"Of course he knows that you won't take my things, but he will still return me, and then take me to live in the best cell of your prison, which will be equipped with all kinds of formation books, and if I want, I can even ask the jailer to go to the fence and find a few people to sing and blow a flute for me."

"Why ?!!"

Voices of anger and grievance echoed through the silent corridors.

Xu Mengxi stared at the master in front of him, and his fists were clenched tightly: "Master. That Xu Changtian committed murder in the street in front of everyone's eyes, I... Let's just forget it? ”

"It's not that I will interrogate him personally, you have been in the Secret Investigation Division for seven years, you should know how to see the essence through things."

An old man with a pale face and beard said seriously: "This matter involves the Desert Royal Court, the current saint, and Duke Xu, in this matter, Mengxi, do you think your official cultivation is enough to deal with the next investigation?" ”

“.”

Xu Mengxi looked at the loving old man in front of him, seemed to understand, bit the corner of his lip, and his voice was a little hoarse:

"Master. I didn't touch the Sumeru ring of Changtian. ”

The old man smiled, raised his hand and stroked his apprentice's hanging cheek, and comforted:

"Of course the teacher knows that you didn't move."

Ten years later, the edict prison, an attic.

The breeze blew in along the edge of the window, and the source qi overflowing from the source crystal filled the entire "prison", and a faint sandalwood slowly floated out from the small furnace at the head of the bed.

While he was sitting on the balcony with his eyes closed and practicing, Xu Yuan suddenly heard the door of the cell creak and was pushed open from the outside.

When he opened his eyes and saw someone coming, Xu Yuan dispersed the exercises and smiled:

"What are you looking for me for?"

Xu Mengxi walked into the cell with a cold face and asked:

"Didn't you ask my master for that Yang Sui Dan?"

Xu Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, got up and walked to the table, picked up the boiling hot tea, poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, and watched the hot air flowing from the spout of the tea:

"I don't lack this thing, so why should I bully you?"

Xu Mengxi stared at him coldly:

"Don't pretend to be a saint here, you will never let go of the opportunity to oppress others."

Xu Yuan glanced at her when he heard this, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly:

"You really know me, if I had this opportunity before, you would probably go bankrupt and sell yourself to sleep with me."

Xu Mengxi's eyes were contemptuous:

"Sleeping together? That's all you cultivated? ”

“.”

Turning around, Xu Yuan glanced up and down at the other party's slender figure, and said with a smile:

"Mengxi, you may not know that sleeping is not just one action."

“.”

Xu Mengxi was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, his eyes were embarrassed, and a jade hand unconsciously held the saber on his waist.

Xu Yuan waved his hand indifferently:

"Okay, don't be so quick with me at your level, I don't ask your master for anything, but I think it's boring to bully people like you now."

The casualness of Xu Yuan's words made Xu Mengxi on the opposite side a little furious.

Like a dog, a dog that can bite people at any time.

Xu Mengxi's delicate body trembled faintly, as if she wanted to draw a knife.

When Xu Yuan saw it, he didn't panic at all, and while drinking the teacup, he admired the other party's anger with interest, but he wanted to pretend to have a light expression.

The female head catcher of this secret investigation department is not a big ice mound or a washboard saintess, and he can beat her now.

Ban Yu,

Xu Mengxi spoke again, his voice suppressing anger:

"Xu Changtian, I hope you are telling the truth."

"Huh?"

Xu Yuan didn't react to what the other party was referring to for a while: "What truth? ”

Xu Mengxi let go of the saber on his waist and straightened his jade back:

"Since it's not interesting to bully a little girl, I think Xu Sangongzi should not bully the people of Shuli in the world anymore."

“.”

After a little silence, Xu Yuan suddenly grinned at the woman, reached out and patted her shoulder:

"Don't worry, this son is now going to bully and bully the clan family, princes and nobles, and he won't do the boring things he used to do anymore."

With that, Xu Yuan walked directly towards the outside of the prison door.

"Smack-"

Xu Mengxi grabbed Xu Yuan's hand and said angrily:

"Xu Changtian, what are you doing?"

"Get out of prison."

Xu Yuan should be: "Didn't you come to this cell to take me out?" ”

Xu Mengxi was quiet for a while, and took out two iron rings:

"Take it, I'll take you to Lord Sikou first."

Xu Yuan stretched out his hand and smiled:

"Formalism."

Xu Mengxi glared at him:

"Xu Changtian, don't be complacent, I will settle accounts with you one by one in the future."

Xu Yuan was handcuffed and smiled casually:

"With your own words, it is estimated that you will have to wait until you have cultivated to the saint."

For the first half of the day, the weather was sunny and cloudless.

Located in the southwest corner of the inner city of the imperial capital, the Imperial Prison is relatively remote, and there is a deep and quiet alley outside the prison.

Accompanied by the Imperial Prison Commander and Xu Mengxi, Xu Yuan was politely sent out.

As soon as he came out, Xu Yuan saw a black dragon carriage that had been parked for a long time at the mouth of the alley:

"Since the government has already sent a frame, Lord Si Kou doesn't need to send it."

The priest of the edict was chubby, and the whole person looked very kind, and insisted on sending it over:

"A few steps away, Xu Gongzi came to my edict and neglected it, I hope you don't be surprised."

Xu Yuan glanced at him:

"After all, I didn't prepare, next time I came back, I will say hello to Mengxi in advance and let you prepare."

Xu Mengxi didn't speak with a cold face.

The Imperial Prison Commander smiled awkwardly.

His official position as a priest is not big, but it is not small.

In the edict prison, one acre and three points are said to be the same, so that many people will ask for him.

But the problem is that the person who asks him is either a death row prisoner who can't be involved, or the situation of the little lord now.

The position and power are awkward, so he can put himself in the right position.

Taking a deep breath, he wiped his sweat with a handkerchief in his chubby hand:

"Third son, don't you joke, these things are what I should do."

“.”

Walked all the way, just as we were about to reach the black dragon carriage.

The Imperial Prison Priest suddenly stepped forward quickly and saluted the black dragon carriage:

"Lord Xiangguo, the third prince has come out."

“.”

Xu Yuan was stunned when he saw this.

When you get out of prison, this dad welcomes you in person, isn't it a bit too grand.

No wonder this fat man sent it over in person.

And when the fat man saluted, Xu Mengxi stood aside silently, a thief who stole the country, she didn't want to salute.

After a while, a calm middle-aged male voice came out of the carriage:

"Wang Sikou, thank you very much this time."

The edict prison priest still lowered his head, and his voice carried a hint of flattery and a flattering smile:

"Xu Gong doesn't have to say thanks, these are all things that villains should do."

The words fell, and the alley fell silent.

Ban Yu,

"If you don't get in the car yet, are you going to invite you for your father?"

“.”

Xu Yuan glanced sideways at the two people beside him, nodded his head, and stepped into the carriage.

The space inside the carriage was still so large, and only a middle-aged man with gray sideburns sat quietly on the soft couch.

Xu Yuan saluted:

"Father, you. How did it come? ”

Xu Yinhe closed his eyes, but was straightforward:

"The emperor is looking for you, and I will take you there."

“.”

Hearing this, Xu Yuan's thoughts instantly became active, and he asked softly:

"Is it because of the matter of the Tartar Prince?"

Xu Yinhe slowly opened his eyes and shook his head:

"He is looking for you about your marriage to the Marquis of Wucheng's mansion."
