Chapter 690: Hu Gongzi sat back and remembered
The three divisions of the Ming Dynasty are not in front of the palace gate, around the thousand-step corridor, or even in the capital.
Instead, it is outside the Taiping Gate, the north gate of Nanjing City, on the shore of Xuanwu Lake.
This is to abide by the ancient system of the Son of Heaven's near virtue and far punishment, so the criminal department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai, which are in charge of punishment, are all located in the northern suburbs.
The second is that Liu Bowen 'judged Kunyi and Ji Qianxiang', believing that the construction of the Three Law Divisions here 'should be the second time of the Tianshi Wall Guansuo'...... 'Guansuo' is the place where the Emperor of Heaven detains prisoners, located in the northeast of the Heavenly Palace, so the Law Division and the prison should also be built in the northeast of the Forbidden City.
The third is that Boss Zhu personally inspected the terrain and saw that this peninsula that penetrated into Xuanwu Lake was covered with water on three sides, and only one passage was connected to the land, which was really a good place to hold prisoners. He built a city here, and set up the prison of the criminal department in the city.
The prison is built here, and it is indeed easy to take care of, but the prisoners inside are suffering from old crimes. Because of the water all around, the tide is terrible all year round, the walls of the cells are full of colorful mold, and the straw where the prisoners sleep is full of mushrooms.
Even though it's late autumn, the ground is still wet, and the straw seems to wring out water. Sleeping on this kind of ground, he is a sturdy man with steel and iron bones, and he will be sick all over his body in a month, and he will not look like a person.
In addition, the drinking water, food, and poor ventilation made the prisoners not see any sunlight all day long, and they were in the cells for urine and urine. Therefore, there are infectious diseases in the prison all four seasons, and patients get sick almost every day.
If the family has money and has something to do with it, you can also check it out and ask a doctor to take a look. Those who don't have money and don't matter, can only survive and wait for death. When he was about to die, the prisoners wailed day and night, so that the prisoners in the same prison were devastated, and after a long time, there was no one who was not numb.
All of them are destroyed, and they suffer every day, it is really a hell on earth, and life is worse than death.
But in September, when the autumn duel began, they were terrified again. Whoever sees the cell boss bringing him a decapitation meal will cry and cry.
Some of the prisoners asked, "Brother, didn't you say that early death and early reincarnation are better than living in prison and suffering?"
The prisoners who were going on the road would cry, 'Who knows what they will be reborn in the next life......
Most of those who can enter the prison of the Criminal Department are people who have done a lot of evil, and according to the monk, they will basically become beasts in the next life.

Hu Gongzi was imprisoned in this environment for two months. And except for living in a single cell, not being beaten, and not being blackmailed by the cell boss, the rest of the people who eat, drink, and sleep are the same as ordinary prisoners, and they do not enjoy any privileges.
After two months, Hu Gongzi, who was originally oily and fat, was unkempt, skinny, full of fleas and lice, and his limbs and face were full of abscesses, and he was completely gone.
And there is also a mental problem, you ask him anything, his eyes are straight, and he has to be stunned for a while before he can react.
"Hu Tianci, are you still eating?!" The jailer knocked the fence several times with a large iron spoon before he slowly raised his head and realized that it was time to put food out.
Hu Gongzi hurriedly picked up the broken porcelain bowl, climbed to the gate of the cell, held the bowl with the two hands of the black chicken paws, and handed it out through the crack in the fence.
"Damn, if you grind and chirp like this, you'll be hungry!" The prisoner scolded and scolded him for a bowl of rice soup as clear as a mirror, and then threw him a nest head that could kill people.
This is the prison meal that Hu Gongzi eats, and there are only two meals a day......
This kind of thing that his pigs don't eat, but Hu Gongzi is eating it very fragrant now, he holds the porridge bowl in one hand, holds the nest head in the other, bites the nest head and takes a bite of porridge, and eats it with hunger and thirst.
After eating and drinking in a while, he licked the rice bowl and smacked the dregs in his fingers. Only then did he fall on the straw and let himself go to bed quickly, so as to reduce consumption and not turn his head and panic with hunger.
And only in dreams can you relive the beautiful life of spending all day and drinking, bullying men and women......
Lying on the damp, hard ground, he gradually fell asleep, completely unconscious.
~~
In the middle of the night, the moans and snoring in the prison continued.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door of the cell, and the head of the cell who was sleeping quickly got up and unlocked it. With a creak, the cell door was opened, and an old man with a cart was put in.
The wheelbarrow was filled with a large wooden barrel that emitted a stench, and the old man had come to collect the night incense.
"Get up, Lao Xu is here to collect your and pee." The cell boss personally took the old man and knocked on the cell door one by one.
The prisoners who were woken up were a little puzzled, why did they feel that they had come so early today to collect the night incense?
But in front of the fierce and vicious cell boss, they did not dare to say much, and quickly carried the stinky toilet to the door of the prison cell, and then they all rolled to the corner, facing the wall and kneeling with their heads in front of the wall.
The cell boss opened the cell door in turn, let the old man go in, take out the toilet and empty it, and then send it in.
When Lao Xu, who poured the night incense, did this, the cell boss pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, looked at the prisoners vigilantly, and did not allow anyone to move, let alone turn back. Until the cell door is relocked, the prisoner can continue to sleep.
In this way, he received Hu Gongzi's room from cell to cell.
"Get up and pour the night incense." The cell boss called several times, but Hu Gongzi inside still shouted that he couldn't wake up.
"Fuck, I think it's itchy!" The cell boss cursed angrily, opened the cell door and entered.
The inmates in the adjacent cells probed in this direction, wanting to see the excitement.
"Kneel down in front of the wall, which one turns back, and is not allowed to eat for three days!" The cell boss has a way to clean them up.
The prisoners were so frightened that they quickly knelt down, and none of them dared to look back and peep.
I only listened to the cell boss scolding and punching and kicking.
"Get up for me, you lazy bastard! If you don't get up again, Lao Tzu will kick you to death! ”
After trampling Hu Gongzi for a while, the cell boss got angry, slammed the cell and said, "Next!" ”
When the head of the cell and Lao Xu, who was pushing the dung cart, walked over, the prisoners in the adjacent prison dared to turn back, only to see that Hu Gongzi was paralyzed on the ground, humming vigorously, and muttering:
"Oops, oops. My name is Hu Tianci, and my father Hu Weiyong. Oh, my father Hu Weiyong ......"
"Don't shout, if your father cares about you, he can still let you suffer these sins?" A prisoner reminded him: "If you talk too much, you will be beaten again." ”
But the kid still hummed and chirped, repeating those two sentences:
"My name is Hu Tianci, and my father Hu Weiyong ......"
"Alas, people are beaten stupid." The prisoner shook his head and sighed, no more rambling with him.
Besides, Lao Xu finished collecting the night incense, pushed the heavy dung cart, and slowly walked out to the door of the prison.
There was a stone staircase at the door, and he couldn't push it up.
"Fuck, these prisoners can really pull, or eat too much." The cell boss scolded, but he was not afraid of getting dirty, and went up to help Lao Xu push the dung truck over the steps.
"Thank you, bull head." Lao Xu thanked him and pushed the dung cart out of the prison.
The cell boss relocked the iron door, looked at the direction where the dung truck disappeared in the distance, and sighed softly.
Your mission is complete......
