Chapter 425: The Boy in the Void

Xiao Dong should be the youngest prisoner ever in the Imperial Prison. In a large cell, she was huddled in a corner, with Lao Tao lying beside her.

Lao Dao was carried with a mat under him, but there was no mattress. Being able to bring the mat is already a matter of great care for Xiao Feng's sake.

If you are an ordinary prisoner, it doesn't matter if you are unconscious or not, you can just throw it in the car, and then throw it into the damp ground of the Imperial Prison.

After the initial panic, Xiao Dong noticed this problem, so he managed to spread all the dry straw that could be found in the cell under Lao Dao's body.

Lao Dao was still very calm, not knowing that he had been transferred from the warm fire kang of the World Entry View to the edict like hell.

There was a tooth-squeaking sound from the door, Xiao Dong raised his head, and saw Lu Bing leading two brocade guards in, one of whom lowered his head, it was Lu Yi.

The other Xiaodong didn't know, but if anyone who had been in the edict prison saw this middle-aged man with a smile on his face, he would be scared like chaff.

He is the torture officer of the Imperial Prison, known as "Smiling Impermanence", but no one knows his real name, and even his colleagues are used to calling him Lao Chang.

When Wang Tuiguan was in the edict prison, he and Lao Chang learned a lot of torture methods, and also taught their own experience, which can be regarded as half a friend.

Lao Chang brought a chair to Lu Bing, and Lu Bing sat outside the iron fence of the cell, looking at Xiao Dong and Lao Dao by the light of the oil lamp.

"Xiaodong, you are young, and I don't want to torture you, so if I ask, you'd better answer truthfully."

Xiao Dong looked at Lu Bing coldly, and there was no fear in his eyes. Lu Bing's heart moved, this gaze was so fucking similar to Xia Yan!

"Are you Xia Yan's granddaughter?"

Xiao Dong shook his head without hesitation: "No." ”

"How old were you when you were adopted by Lao Dao?"

"Two years old."

"Where is your home?"

"I don't know."

"Why don't you know?"

"What can a two-year-old know?"

This is the line that Xiao Dong and Lao Dao have usually faced each other many times, and they almost can't even say the wrong thing in their dreams, and they are very familiar with it. If it weren't for the power of the heart Gu this time, she would never have exposed her stuff.

"Didn't the old Tao tell you?"

"He said that as soon as he opened the door in the morning, I sat at the door of the good hall and asked me where I was, and I wouldn't say, so he didn't know."

"Don't you have any birthdays, names, or anything like that?"

Xiao Dong thought of the jade pendant, hesitated and didn't speak, Lu Yi suddenly coughed and said coldly.

"Don't say that the jade pendant is not yours, the jade pendant is in the box where you contain things, it's not yours, is it still something we planted it?"

Xiao Dong's eyes lit up: "It's not mine, I've never seen this jade pendant before." Who knows how you found out! ”

Lu Bing tilted his head slightly and glanced at Lu Yi: "When I ask about the case, don't interject, learn more and talk less!" ”

Lu Yi hurriedly bent down and said yes, Lao Chang kept looking at Xiao Dong with a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be aware of all this.

"Xiaodong, you have to think about it, you have been in the Shantang for so many years, those children have eaten and lived with you, are your things really so well hidden?

If other children have seen your jade pendant, your words today are enough to give them their lives! It's too late to be honest! ”

Xiao Dong's face finally showed panic. This jade pendant was an unexpected change, and Lao Dao didn't have a good word with her at the beginning.

Because when she was in Shantang, the jade pendant was kept by Lao Dao for her, even if someone finds out, no one will suspect her, and Lao Dao has his own words.

But since Lao Dao planted it, in order to prevent Lao Dao's things from being turned over, Xiao Dong hid the jade pendant in his box, but this time it was copied out by Jinyiwei.

This piece of jade pendant has been kept very closely by Lao Dao, and the possibility of other children seeing it is very small, only every time she thinks about her family, Lao Dao is willing to take it out for her to see and touch.

But as Lu Bing said, after so many years of eating and living together, no matter how strictly the secret is, there is a possibility of being seen.

Those children may not understand the seriousness of the matter, and if one is asked, they and the old way will be finished.

Lu Bing's eyes were like two sharp blades, stabbing Xiao Dong's face with a moment of panic, and his expression was complicated, with helplessness and ruthlessness.

"Let's talk, to tell you the truth, you are a girl after all, you are young, Xia Yan's crime is not full of beheading, I will help you intercede with Banzai."

Xiao Dong's two little hands were clenched tightly, she was able to fight against Lu Bing until now, which had surprised Lu Bing, but she was a child after all, and she should be ...... right away

"The jade pendant is not mine, I have never seen it before!"

With a hint of surprise in Lu Bing's cold eyes, he smiled faintly and stood up.

"Okay, let Jinyiwei go to the WTO entry view, ask the children one by one, and tell the children that as long as they tell the truth, Lao Dao and Xiaodong can be released."

Xiao Dong's heart seemed to have fallen into boiling water, and it tightened suddenly. Lu Yi also raised his head and looked at Lu Bing helplessly, and Lu Bing said coldly.

"Go home, this messenger, don't get involved!"

When Zhao Zongqi rushed to the WTO with Jinyiwei, he met Xiao Feng, who had just finished a meeting for the children.

Zhao Zongqi smiled helplessly: "Lord Xiao, this case involves the World View, so Lu Qianhu and Shen Qianhu were both asked by Lord Lu to recuse themselves.

The lower officials also had no choice, they acted as ordered, and hoped that Lord Xiao would not embarrass the brothers. ”

Xiao Feng smiled, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Jinyiwei entered the world to arrest people, these children are frightened, as the master of the temple, I naturally want to come to appease them." ”

Zhao Zongqi thought of the crazy resistance he encountered when he arrested people last night, and thought to himself whether the children were frightened or not I don't know, several newly recruited Jinyi guards were indeed frightened.

There was an order from above, only arrest people, not hurt people, but the Jinyi guards were beaten by the little Taoist priests, and they still relied on the forbidden army stationed in the temple as a human wall to take people away.

At this time, after Xiao Feng's "appeasement", these little guys were obviously much calmer, sitting on the ground in the practice room one by one, looking very calm.

Zhao Zongqi temporarily requisitioned Lao Dao's room, and asked the Jinyi guards to call the children into the house one by one, and the remaining children were guarded by the Jinyi guards, and the children were not allowed to talk to each other.

The first person to be called into the room was a girl who was slightly older than Xiao Dong, looking a little weaker and timid than the other children, which was carefully selected by Zhao Zongqi.

Because even children have gender concepts, girls play with girls more often, and they must know more secrets about each other. And timidity means it's easier to attack the heart.

"What's your name?"

"Tiger girl."

I'll go, who gave the name, it's completely wrong!

"What's your relationship with Xiaodong?"

"Very good, we always eat together when we eat."

Zhao Zongqi nodded with satisfaction, it seems that his vision is very good!

"Xiao Dong has a jade pendant, do you know?"

"I don't know! What else does she have that valuable thing? That's not true!

In the past, when we didn't eat meat for a month, I even sold the silver bracelet I brought in my swaddling clothes for meat, how could she do this? ”

Zhao Zongqi frowned: "That, tiger girl, you have to know, if you tell the truth, Xiaodong and Lao Dao can be released!"

If you don't tell the truth, neither of them will be able to get out, you know? So, think again? ”

Hu Niu clenched her fists angrily: "How can you say she can do this?" I even sold the silver bracelet, and she still has a jade pendant? It's so unbelievable! ”

Zhao Zongqi waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, you can go out." ”

Hu Niu didn't leave: "Uncle, you take me to find Xiaodong, I have to ask her!" I sold all my silver bracelets, and she still has a jade pendant! ”

Zhao Zongqi finally understood why this girl who looked weak and timid was called a tiger girl, thinking that it must have been given by the old way, and it was really a tiger!

Didn't she know that the person who was captured by the Jinyi Guard was going to be imprisoned? Just to ask why he hid the jade pendant, he actually chased him into the edict prison!

The second one to be brought in was a short, stocky, honest-looking little boy. With an honest bag like this, ordinary people will not be wary, and it is easier to reveal secrets in front of him.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Little Fox."

Zhao Zongqi was even more surprised than when he heard the tiger girl, where the fuck does this look like a little fox?

If Lao Dao likes to name children after animals out of some kind of bad taste, then it should be more appropriate for stupid roe deer!

"This, little fox, do you have a good relationship with Xiao Dong?"

"Okay, I have a good relationship with anyone! They all love to play with me. ”

"Very good, do you know that Xiaodong has a jade pendant?"

"I don't know, but I guess she's got something of value, and the dean likes her the most, so maybe he gave her something good.

The dean turned out to be a thief, you know this! Although he didn't steal it later, the dean may have stolen some treasure before! ”

Zhao Zongqi slapped the table: "Less nonsense!" You have to know that if you tell the truth, Xiao Dong and Lao Dao can be released!

If you don't tell the truth, they won't be able to get out, you know? Think about it again, does Xiaodong have a jade pendant! ”

The little fox's honest face showed a sincere smile: "Uncle, are you telling the truth?" If I tell the truth, will Xiaodong and the dean be able to release it? ”

Zhao Zongqi nodded: "This is natural!" I'm going to lie to you a little doll, can't I? ”

The little fox was innocently melancholy: "Uncle, I heard that people who have been imprisoned can only be released by order of Banzai, right?" ”

Zhao Zongqi thought to himself, this kid is not stupid, he still knows this, I think Xiao Feng usually told them some rules of the court.

"Yes, Jinyiwei is the guard of the Son of Heaven, whether Jinyiwei arrests people or releases people, they are all ordered by Banzai."

The little fox looked at Zhao Zongqi honestly: "Uncle, then we tell the truth, Xiao Dong and the dean can release it, is this what Long Live said?" ”

Zhao Zongqi was speechless for a moment, although he was trying the case, although he was deceiving the child, but with his ten guts, he didn't dare to fake the holy decree!

Jiajing didn't say this, it was Lu Bing who said it. In fact, if it is determined that Xiaodong is Xia Yan's granddaughter, it is basically impossible for Jiajing to let her out.

"It's not Banzai who said it, it's what our commander Lu said! Commander let you know, that's the biggest officer of our Jinyi Guard! ”

The little fox blinked and asked honestly: "So long live not to say release people, but to command the adults to say release people, can you release people?" ”

Zhao Zongqi was speechless again, if he dared to say that he could, then it would not be his own false transmission of the holy decree, and he would become Lu Bing's self-respecting power and ignore the imperial power!

"You're good to go! I don't care about you! ”

The little fox shook his head and sighed honestly, and walked out of the steps like a stupid roe deer, but at this time, Zhao Zongqi felt that he was a fox, and he was more like a stupid roe deer!

Learn from whom! This kid's words and deeds already have Xiao Feng's three-point demeanor, and I don't know what he will become when he grows up!

Zhao Zongqi began to have deep doubts about his vision, so this time he deliberately chose a girl who looked smart and clever.

Since the children in the concept of joining the WTO are all different from what they seem, let's do the opposite!

"What's your name?"

"My name is Shallot."

Zhao Zongqi was shocked: "Is it smart and smart?" Are you smart? ”

"No, it's shallots mixed with tofu, because I like tofu, so the dean named me shallots."

Zhao Zongqi finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that a girl named "Little Shallot" should be easier to deal with than the first two.

"Do you have a good relationship with Xiaodong?"

"It's not good, because she also likes tofu and always grabs it with me."

"Oh? Very good, then tell me, does Xiaodong have a jade pendant? ”

"I haven't seen her, and I haven't heard her talk about it."

"If you tell the truth, Xiao Dong and Lao Dao can be released! If you don't tell the truth, they won't be able to get out, you know? ”

"She can't come out, what does it have to do with me, I don't have a good relationship with her."

"This ...... And what about the old way? Don't you want him to come out too? ”

"The Lord said that the dean has been in a coma for a long time, and he has thought of any way, but he can't wake up, maybe he can change the environment and listen to the screams in the prison to wake up."

"Take it out, take it out!"

Zhao Zongqi took a strong breath, and let people bring in a tall and stout boy, the same age, looking a head taller than his peers!

People say that the limbs are developed and the mind is simple, and Zhao Zongqi hopes that this sentence is true, because his battered heart can no longer hold on.

"What's your name?"

The tall and stout boy smiled shyly, and his voice was warm and warm: "My name is Tofu." ”

Zhao Zongqi was helped back to the Zhenfu Division by his brothers, and Lu Bing nodded slightly after listening to the results of his interrogation.

"Since Xiao Feng has been in the WTO Entry Concept, with those children, there must have been an arrangement, it's normal that you can't ask anything, go down."

Zhao Zongqi looked at Lu Bing hesitantly: "Boss, do you think Xiaodong is really wronged, those children don't look like lying......"

Lu Bing frowned and looked at his old subordinate: "Old Zhao, you are only a few years younger than me, and you have been working as a Jinyi guard for more than 20 years, and now you haven't even mixed up with a hundred households, don't you want to think about the reason?" ”

Zhao Zongqi left dejectedly, Lu Bing raised his head and thought for a while, and waved at the "smiling impermanence".

"Lao Chang, the flower thief who was sentenced to death by the Criminal Department yesterday went to borrow him.

Tell Liutai that among the women defiled by this person, there are foreigners involved, and Jinyiwei takes over, and the person will not return him, and I will explain to Banzai when I turn around. ”

Lao Chang smiled: "My lord, are you going to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger?" That person is a good material, it is said that Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the trial, and he didn't spit out when he cut off four pairs of clamping sticks.

In the end, it was the old fox Guo Jun who gave the idea, gave the man two captured Pills of Bliss, and borrowed a few outstanding girls from the hook pen to provoke him, and finally got a confession. ”

Lu Bing squinted at him: "So powerful?" Are you sure you'll be able to make him succumb? Don't lose your name. ”

Lao Chang smiled indifferently, and his tone was full of professional pride: "The people in the criminal department know how to move a fart, a bunch of dirt buns!" ”

The flower thief was very irritable at this time and felt that he had been tricked. Obviously said yes, as long as he wrote a confession, he let himself have a good time through the iron fence, but the dog officials didn't believe it!

I had just started, and before I could finish the fun, the girls couldn't stand it crying and shouting, and finally the cell boss was afraid of making a fuss and took the girls away.

I pity myself for being usually talented, but at that time, I had a drug attack, my eyes were red, and I broke the iron fence. The cell boss was terrified and had to buy five catties of pork out of his own pocket.

Pork! It's a fucking shame, how many years have I been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, and when have I ever eaten so badly! Dog officials who can't die well!

He was cursing in the cell, when he suddenly saw several officials walking into the cell as if they were facing a great enemy, followed by a smiling middle-aged man.

"What? The confession is also obtained, and if you don't keep your promises, bring a few women to Lao Tzu, and bring a man to have a fart? Can he resist Lao Tzu? ”

The middle-aged man looked at him with a smile: "I heard you say in your confession, for so many years, no woman can resist you, I don't believe it."

After all these years, no man can resist me, believe it or not? ”

The flower thief was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Do you know that when Lao Tzu committed the crime, he once rose up and used a handful of incense to bring down the entire woman in the Qinglou."

Lao Tzu started from the Qing Dynasty to his mother at the end, one day and one night, and no one was left behind! It's just that there is too much incense, and when Lao Tzu leaves, I'm really worried that they won't wake up.

I heard that a wandering Taoist priest was later rescued with a scoop of water. The entire Qinglou didn't pick up customers for three days, because they couldn't get off the ground!

You come in and try it! Lao Tzu doesn't split you in half, even if you don't know Lao Tzu! ”

The middle-aged man nodded slightly: "I can see it, Zhang Shilang really failed to let you have fun." We people in the court are true to our words, and today I will let you enjoy it.

However, we have to change places, because someone wants to see our show. ”
