The morning sun is rising, and the sun is shining.

"It's already dawn!" said Peach Jacket took a nap and rose from his slumber.

Last night she seemed to have had a strange dream, long and absurd, strange and bizarre, she pondered and meditated, the content of the dream, but she could not remember it in any way.

Strange!

"By the way, what about the jade pendant?" she seemed to hear something, and hurriedly got up and searched around.

Yu Pei really can't find it... The peach coat emblem was a little helpless.

"Well, I don't know how I can get out of this hellish place. The peach coat emblem muttered to herself.

"Get out, hehe, you'll be out soon!" said the old voice again last night.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the scene on the other side could be vaguely seen in the dark!

Tao Hui hurriedly climbed to the fence to check, and saw an unkempt and ragged old man on the opposite side, who was lying on a piece of straw with his feet crossed and his eyes closed.

"Old man, are they going to let us go?"

The nameless old man rolled over, as if he didn't want to be disturbed: "Little baby, you will know soon." ”

Ordinary people who have lived in Qingzhou for a long time know that there is a hidden place in the back mountain a few miles away from Qingzhou County, surrounded by mountains and rivers, strange rocks, and all the way full of big trees that cover the sky and the sun. A large river slopes down from the top of the mountain, accumulating all year round, forming a deep pool with turquoise water waves and bottomless depth. This deep pool, surrounded by mountains will be Qingzhou back mountain wrapped in it, along the way three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, like a moat, super wings are difficult to fly.

This is the place under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou County, where the Black Prison Division - the Yin Prison is located that makes people all over the world fearful.

At this time, there was a sound of gongs and drums in this hidden place, and the originally quiet place suddenly became noisy.

This is the unique 'morning drum' of the Black Prison Division, which means that the time for the change of guard has come. At this time, a new batch of sergeants had already rushed into the gate in front of the mountain one after another, and the last group of town guard sergeants also swarmed out of the gate.

It's just that the entry and exit are orderly, the queue is neat, and the lines are clear.

After a while, the long queue entered the compound at the foot of the mountain, but strangely disappeared. After the long line, the two sergeants walked side by side, talking loudly as they walked, and from time to time there were sergeants in blue cloth clothes greeting the two sergeants.

The two sergeants were not dressed in blue cloth robes, but in brocade robes. In front of the older one is a rhinoceros painted in detail, with teeth and claws, lifelike. The other, with a seahorse embroidered on his chest, was majestic and ethereal.

During the Zhengqing Dynasty of the Great Qi Dynasty, it was stipulated that civil officials embroidered birds in official uniforms to show erudition: nine civil officials: first-grade cranes, second-grade golden pheasants, third-grade peacocks, fourth-grade cloud geese, fifth-grade white pheasants, six-grade herons, seven-grade emus, eight-grade yellow orioles, and nine-grade quails;

Military attachés embroidered beasts in official uniforms to demonstrate fierceness: first-rank and second-grade lions, third-grade and fourth-grade tigers and leopards, fifth-grade bears, sixth-grade and seventh-grade biao, eighth-grade rhinoceros, and ninth-grade seahorses.

"Niu Er, the Black Prison Si Yin Envoy has been patrolling Qingzhou these days, you can give me a long snack! Let the brothers be smart, but if there is any wind and grass, once it reaches the ears of the Yin Envoy, then no one can protect him!" The two sergeants walked side by side, the old sergeant with a rhinoceros depicted on the armor in front of him, and instructed the sturdy young sergeant beside him.

The sturdy and slightly younger sergeant hugged the shoulders of the old sergeant, and said softly: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I have already called Zhang Hu, Li An, they are careful of the embankment, even Wang Kui and Sun Lianyong don't dare to play money and drink anymore." The young sergeant seemed to remember something, and groped in his arms for a while before taking out a money bag, "This is my honor to you!"

The older sergeant looked embarrassed, looked around and saw that there was no one, so he quietly put the money bag into his arms, took out a dark token, and said reluctantly: "You must keep this token carefully, and don't poke it out of the basket!" ”

The young sergeant understood, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I heard that a new wine shop has opened in Qingzhou County, which has good Fen wine and beautiful women singing!"

"But why do those rich men spend two taels of silver to sell these useless prisoners?" the older sergeant was puzzled.

The young sergeant was happy when he heard this: "Brother-in-law, this is how rare and strange you are, the young slaves in the Qingzhou black market are strong and healthy, and they need ten taels of silver, and those useless prisoners in this prison are also strange goods to live in as slaves." Brother-in-law, guess what, how many silver taels?"

The older sergeant was stunned for a moment, and after half a sound, his palm spread out: "Five taels?"

The young sergeant shook his head, "Guess again!"

The older officer resisted the idea of swearing, and asked, "How much is that?"

The young sergeant blinked, as if thinking, and only reached out and spread out a finger before half-ringing: "One or two!"

"Alas, these days, it's really like a mustard!" the old sergeant seemed to remember something, and then instructed, "By the way, God knows this, the earth knows, you know, I know." And don't let those 'Black Armor Army' who guard the black prison know about it!"

The emperor of the previous generation of Great Qi was mediocre, and fought against Great Qin several times, but he returned with a crushing defeat, ceding land and losing silver. Although this generation of Lover has worked hard and ambitious after taking the throne. But it is also difficult and stormy. The army is often in arrears of military salaries, and the Chinese treasury is in deficit, and those who serve in the army are already licking blood from the knife edge, and how can they support their families without this silver two?

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will be careful about this matter. The young sergeant agreed.

After a while, the two of them walked to a rock, and the old sergeant spoke, "You put the token in the trap." ”

The young sergeant nodded yes, placing the swarthy token in his hand on a triangular sigil on the rock.

"Squeak chirp..."

On the rock in front of them, there was a sudden sound of organ activity, and the boulder in front of the two suddenly split in two. What caught my eye was a cave avenue, with torches on both sides, warm as spring, but the air was a little fishy, and the two had just entered, and a vigilant voice sounded immediately, "Who is coming?"

In the dimness, they seemed to see several figures in front of them, and the two hurriedly looked closely, it seemed to be a group of sergeants dressed in armor, but the armor was dark and could not be seen clearly in the darkness.

The older sergeant hurriedly shouted: "Master, I am the head of Qingzhou City Defense, and I have something important to do here!"

"Do you have a token?"

The young sergeant remembered in a trance, and hurriedly handed over the token in his hand: "Master Jun, please take a look." He knew very well that the Black Armor Army had always had strict military discipline, and it was not at all like the Qingzhou soldiers, and he changed his previous arrogant appearance, and his low eyebrows were full of humility.

In the darkness, a black-armored sergeant with a full face and beard came over and took the token, looked at it for a moment, and said loudly: "Disperse!"

In the darkness, a group of soldiers wearing black armor and holding cold light flashing weapons suddenly dispersed, hiding in the endless darkness beyond the firelight!

The black-armored sergeant with a beard on his face seemed to be a little puzzled: "I don't know what the matter is when the adults are coming?"

The older sergeant hurriedly bowed, "There are a few cases that need to be investigated and need to be interrogated to ordinary prisons, and I need to harass adults." ”

"Then please go and pick up someone!" said the black-armored sergeant with a beard on his face, bowed his hand, and walked away.

The older sergeant led the young sergeant to a cave, and the young sergeant was dumbfounded, "Brother-in-law, this cave is really big!"

The older sergeant smugly, "Don't make a fuss, this black prison has a total of eighteen floors, and we are only going to the ordinary prison above!"

"Eighteen?"

The older sergeant spoke earnestly and whispered: "This black prison is more dangerous and more dangerous on a layer, and the punishment is heavier on a level than on a layer!

The young sergeant was shocked: "Skinning and cramping, swords and fires, and receiving such a punishment, wouldn't that man die without a few blows?"

"Hmph, you know what. The older sergeant was a little disdainful, paused and added, "Many of the people in this black prison are no longer considered people!"

"What, it's not human!?" The older sergeant was shocked, and hurriedly wrapped his collar again, and suddenly realized that the cave was deep and silent, and it was eerie.

After a while, the two of them came to a cell, and a burst of screams and wails filled their ears.

"My lord, let me go, Lord Liu, the county guard, said that I spy on the military, but everyone knows that I am a blind man! I have been blind for more than 40 years, how can I spy on the military?"

"My lord, let me out, I will definitely pay the taxes this time, beg my lord to spare my life, let me out!"

"Master, I have been wronged, I have been wronged! Lord Qingtian! I want to sue the son of the county guard of Qingzhou, corrupt the law, frame Zhongliang, rob my wife, beat my 80-year-old father to death, my wife is unwilling to be humiliated, and hangs herself to suicide! I beg Lord Qingtian to be the master for us!"

“.......”

One by one, the prisoners in the prison saw two sergeants dressed as eunuchs coming in to inspect, both of them climbed on the fence, making bursts of pleading sounds, and the older sergeant sneered and scolded: "Don't quarrel with Lao Tzu, you dare to slander the county guard, and then talk nonsense, Lao Tzu will send you to Xitian now!" After speaking, he slashed at the hand of a prisoner whose handle was sticking out of the fence.

"Ahh

"Phew, you old immortal!"

Only then did the prisoners in the prison see two Qingzhou sergeants dressed in different black armor soldiers, and they were so frightened that they were so frightened that they suddenly lost their breath.

"Wu Cheng, you go and interrogate the prisoner! Let's leave quickly!" the old commander commanded.

"Yes!" The young sergeant who was called Wu Cheng immediately obeyed the older sergeant and searched around in this prison, the slavery of the rich family, too many of them are old and frail, those with yellow faces and thin muscles, and those who are crazy and crazy. The old man can't work, the frail ones are mostly seriously ill, and the crazy ones are useless!
