Chapter 280: Empire, Who Has the Biggest Face?
A white carriage walked through the cold rocks of the mountains, and in the howling cold wind, it was extremely difficult to reach the gate of a huge, ancient city.
Inside the car came several nuns dressed in white, as well as a woman dressed in the most ordinary trench coat.
The guards of the blood cell looked at these people and felt a little puzzled, thinking to themselves, since these people can find this place, it should also be a bit of a doorway, don't they know that the prisoners in the blood prison have no right to visit?
However, when a white-clothed nun brought a written document and handed it to the jailer in front of her, the doubt in the man's eyes slowly turned to confusion, then shock, and finally raised his head, wanting to see the noble figure surrounded by the nun, and for a moment did not know what kind of attitude he should show now.
After all, these blood prison guards did not kneel down to express their piety to the Holy Lady of the Holy See.
In fact, if it was in other places, they would naturally not dare to be so disrespectful when they saw the Holy Maiden, but this is a blood prison, so they should not be too humble to treat anyone.
Of course, not being humble does not mean that you can not be respectful.
After scrutinizing the almost 10-centimeter-thick stamps of 12 departments and the documents that took more than a month to get down, a jailer said that he had to report to the warden before he could decide whether he could pass or not.
But then, a small side door next to the prison gate was opened, and the warden, who was a little chubby, ran over panting, he didn't make too pious etiquette to the holy woman of the Holy See in front of so many people, but the fact that he could come out to greet him in person speaks for itself.
In this way, under the leadership of the warden, the Holy Lady of the Holy See entered the most severe and bloody prison in the empire with three retinues.
After some narrow corridors and a few deep and damp iron gates, the warden wiped his sweat and explained to His Highness that he didn't want to drag out this visit for so long, but the system of blood prisons had set the tone since it was established, and it could not be changed by one person or a few words, and he had already given the greatest convenience within the scope of his duties.
It was clear from the tone of his voice that the warden had absolute admiration for the human preacher chosen by the Light.
With that, several people walked past a fence gate.
Because there is no such thing as a 'visit' in the blood prison, there is no interview room for visiting the prisoner, and in order to find a suitable place for the saint, the warden can only vacate the rest room in the office area, which leads to the group having to pass through a prisoner's quarantine area.
The prisoners who had been in the blood prison for I don't know how many years had not seen a woman for a long time, and when they saw the other side of the fence, the white-clothed nun walked in front of them, all of them were dumbfounded, and subconsciously followed their instincts to watch, and even one of them took a few more steps forward, as if she wanted to see more clearly.
But this scene was seen by the warden, and at that moment, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, leaving only a breathtaking coldness, and he faintly signaled to the jailer beside him.
With such a simple gesture, the prisoner's whole body suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and he immediately fell to his knees, letting out the most terrible screams and begging for mercy, but several jailers didn't care at all, and directly dragged the man away, and the screams gradually disappeared around the corner of the prison, and he didn't know what kind of terrible punishment the person would encounter.
Don't look around, don't walk around, don't talk nonsense, don't ask nonsense.
It is better for a person in a blood prison to forget all about himself as a human being, and to be a soulless object.
In short, this is the most common scene in the blood prison.
But it was precisely this scene that cast a haze over Her Highness the Holy Maiden's heart, and it was hard for her to imagine what her two tenants had become in this environment.
Eventually, she came to a break room, and the warden said that the person she wanted to see would be brought immediately.
There were some simple tables and chairs in the room, probably for this visit, one of the tables was moved to the center of the lounge, and a chair was placed on each side, and Her Highness sat on one of the chairs, and the gas lamp above her head was still bright, but in this place where there was no natural light all year round, you would always feel a strange coldness, and if you were not careful, the screams would echo in your ears.
After waiting quietly for a moment, there was finally the sound of heavy metal dragging the underside outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, a prisoner with his hands bound and his feet in extremely heavy chains appeared at the door, and Mrs. Hudson and Watson looked at each other, and the former found that the clothes he was wearing seemed to be very clean, and his hair and face were not dirty, as if he had just been cleaned, but under the collar, he could occasionally see some hideous wounds, and the bloodless lips, and he could feel how much inhuman treatment he had received in this prison.
Her Highness's breathing changed pace.
But to her surprise, Watson still smiled extremely gentlemanly, and still bowed to her slightly in a restrained state: "Long time no see, I hope I didn't scare you like this, beautiful landlady." ”
This made his escort a little puzzled, they did not know why Her Highness wanted to see a prisoner, and they did not know what the word 'landlady' meant.
But before the jailers could begin to ponder, Mrs. Hudson turned to him and asked, "Can I talk to him alone?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the jailers were immediately shocked, and the warden who had just arrived was also shocked, and hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Your Highness, this person is the most terrible criminal in this prison, extremely dangerous, how can you be alone with such a guy."
"Please rest assured that I am with this John. Mr. Watson is also an acquaintance, and he is now bound like this, so he should not be able to hurt me. Her Highness said calmly, "Besides, I can keep my servants here, and there will be no problems with security." ”
The servants she said were naturally the two white-clothed nuns behind her, although they looked slender and weak, everyone knew that the combat power of these three nuns was definitely stronger than these jailers with guns combined.
So after hesitating, the warden still adhered to his worship of the Holy Light after all, and nodded very reverently.
In this way, Watson and Mrs. Hudson were left in the whole room.
As the door to the common room was closed, Mrs. Hudson's eyes, which had been pretending to be calm, finally reddened a little.
"Suffered a lot?" She asked the question to which she had known the answer for a long time.
But Watson just smiled and said, "Actually, it's okay, it's just that the meal is a little worse." ”
Mrs. Hudson looked at Watson's suave appearance, and suddenly felt a little resentful:
"I really don't know what sins I did in my last life, I was living a good life, but I suddenly became a saint, and my tenant became the most terrible criminal in the history of saints.
You two idiots don't know what you've done.
How could anyone kill the emperor?
How can there be only two people who will kill the emperor as soon as their brains are hot?! ”
She questioned, her tone becoming more and more annoyed, and finally there was some crying:
"You guys. . . Do you know how much rent you owe? You just died, what will you pay me back? ”
Watson was counted out, and he felt very wronged in his heart, obviously I was fooled by that Sherlock guy, and now he still wants me to be scolded for him.
And when I was asked to live in 221B Baker Street, the guy said okay, he didn't charge rent.
I'm thinking about it.
"What about him.? In my application, it was the two of you who visited me, why did you come out alone? ”
Speaking of this, Watson's expression that had been smiling finally revealed a trace of worry, and after hesitating, he still said:
"Shylock was listed as an absolute murderer because he killed Augustine the Great with his own hands, so he was thrown into the bottom of the blood prison.
I don't think it's out of the scope of visitation.
And believe me, if you see me like this, it's a good thing that you don't see him. ”
With that sentence made Mrs. Hudson's heart beat violently, and with this beat, she felt a surge of uncontrollable sourness coming over her.
She kept cursing in her heart, but she didn't know what she was cursing, maybe she was cursing this prison, or maybe she was cursing the guy who thought he was the greatest detective, but ended up being the most terrible criminal.
But after a while, she still forcibly calmed herself, and then said to Watson:
"Hold on, Moriarty said, he has a way to get you out."
"Get it out?" Watson was slightly stunned, then smiled wryly.
The system of blood prisons is special, and if the outside world does not define this mad hunt as reasonable, then it is impossible for blood prisons to accept amnesty orders from any force.
The saint can't make a statement, and neither can the current pope, if he is not mistaken, Franklin, as the new emperor, should also be working hard, and it seems that it can't be done.
Killing Augustine the Great is too much of an impact.
Even if some people want themselves and Sherlock to come out, there are still too many people who want these two terrible prisoners to be held forever, or at a suitable time, to break their heads with one shot.
Because they killed Augustine the Great.
That means they can kill other people.
If these two madmen are released, how many people in the empire will not be able to sleep?
So now, the face of the pope is not good, and the face of the emperor is not good
Just ask the entire empire, who can have a bigger face than these two people?
