"Ma Yuanyi is naturally not a three-headed and six-armed character, when he was sent to the official, I also saw it below. It's just a man who has practiced a few pistols, sticks, fists and feet, and he has been flailed and locked, and all his magical powers have been spared. ”

Such a brazen guy, the prison officer He who led the way frowned, that is, today's prison officers are all shortages that have accumulated a lot of qualifications from the officials, and they are not as good as the righteous scholars who have entered the Ming Dynasty, and this temper is better, and they don't pull down their faces right away. But when he reached the position of an official of his size, there was really no need to deal with the sour cuo sent by the Shizhong Temple, and led Wei Ye, a green-shirted scribe, into the front of the prison behind the Imperial Prison Department, and he stopped and directly called the foreman's forbidden son head over:

"He Chu, this person is the secretary sent by Shizhong Temple to take care of the details, you can lead him to meet Dr. Du of Taichang Temple. ”

These imprisoned prisoners are contaminated by the evil aura of the prison, and they look at people as if they are punishing prisoners, especially this young and small man who is as thick as a stone pier. At the behest of the prison officer, he opened his slender eyes wide, and carefully looked the mustachioed sorcerer up and down, which looked like a butcher looking at pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.

It's just that Wei Ye, the nominal secretary of the Shizhong Temple, is actually a practitioner who specializes in running under the door of Shizhong Zhang Shuo, and his heart is black, but he has a thick face and has long been cultivated. While shouting "He Tou" with a smile, he took He Chu's hand affectionately, and by the way, he put a small string of smooth and shiny five-baht coins into the black and short cell leader's hand.

Checking the small hanging copper coin in his palm, He Jiaotou, who felt a little bit of the fireworks in the yang world, suddenly dissipated a lot of yin qi on his face, although he still had the kind of fierce look on his face that everyone wanted to bite off three taels of flesh, the muscles of his face were not so stiff:

"Wei Shuban, right, Dr. Du is leading people to inspect the newly opened stone prison, preparing to welcome Shangguan for inspection, you are just right to go at this time, come and come, follow me this way-"

According to the old customs of the Han Dynasty, whether the civil construction is made of stone or green bricks, elm or nanmu, the foundation is always made of wicker rammed earth. Even though the cells of the Imperial Prison were half cut below the surface, the glorious tradition of wicker rammed earth was not lost. However, He Chu led Wei Ye and did not go straight to those cells that were dark all year round, but bypassed the big prison and went to the back.

The Luoyang Imperial Prison of the Eastern Han Dynasty is much inferior to the famous Tingwei Prison in the Western Han Dynasty, which has not imprisoned too many clan princes and high-ranking officials.

Of course, those who have a good reputation for integrity, but have no strength to get a group of famous people who are relatives and eunuchs, such as Li Ying, who asked the people in the Guannai to knock and plead, Li Gu, who died again in the edict because he was shouted long live by the people of Luoyang after being released from prison, and Fan Fan, who was tortured first because of "many illnesses in the same prisoner...... There are batches of prisoners in this edict, which is enough to make the Donglin gentlemen who only came out of Zhou Changshun and Zuo Guangdou chat with a few people who flaunt the morality and righteousness and play the party.

Behind the Imperial Prison Cell, there are some vacant solitary cells for prisoners who have committed serious crimes but are in a special position. However, the Han family system often urged the rebellious clans to self-judge, and the relatives who lost power would not give them a little dignity, and these prison cells were lonely for many years. Now, at last, it's time for them to come in handy.

In one of the cells, the inner wall had been opened up and turned into an empty hall, but the outer wall revealed a bluestone slab-like color and texture, and a group of warriors wearing bright red linings and armor were leading a few craftsmen sent by the Shang Fang Bureau, scooping water with wooden scoops and constantly splashing it on the walls. Just outside these busy crowds, there were several old masters wearing miscellaneous official clothes and wearing a single beam or a second beam Jinxian crown, surrounded by a middle-aged man wearing a yellow ribbon.

All officials with an official rank of three or four hundred stones are all subject to yellow ribbons. Although in Luoyang, where the center of the Han Dynasty is located, the officials with yellow ribbons of three or four hundred stones are nothing compared to the high-ranking officials of one thousand or two thousand stones, but among the busy crowd around this prison, they have become the one with the highest official position.

No need to ask, this is Dr. Du, the subordinate official of the Lingtai who presided over the affairs of the stone prison.

Dr. Du's single name is a Lan character, the Du family of the old clan of Chang'an, who is only in his early thirties at the moment, and he is also a young Zhuang faction among the officials of Taichang Temple. I don't know if it's because of the unwillingness, or for other reasons, this Tai student, who was also a scholar at the beginning, always had a tense face, which made his thin lips even more mean.

When He Chu led Wei Ye to meet him, he happened to hear that Dr. Du, who was more or less a Confucian official, was losing his temper: "What's going on with those Lang officials of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army?

He lost his temper on it, and the people around him were silent and silent, only a few old officials with blue and blue clothes said cautiously: "Several generals of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army said that they collected this thing from the anti-thief, and we did go with the forbidden army to see the Zhuangzi of the anti-thief." It is indeed as hard as stone, and the wrestlers slammed it with a hammer on the spot, and only showed some white spots, and it was possible to break the wall after dozens of hammers, which was much stronger than ordinary masonry, this ......"

"What is this, that? Ambassador Zhou is going to come to see this stone room today, can't he show him this messy muddy room?"

Interrupting the old official's words sharply, Dr. Du's heart was anxious, and he turned around in a circle again, just in time to see He Chu leading Wei Ye over to prepare to meet him, and all of his anger immediately rushed over to this side: "He Chu, how did you become the head of this jail, this is an edict, this is a Qin case! What are you a thief who is not a thief, you dare to lead inside? Don't think that because your uncle is a subordinate official of the edict, you can do whatever you want, and you don't take the imperial court discipline in your eyes!"

This scolding made He Chu's face blue and white for a while, so he had to bow down, bow his head and say softly: "Du Gong taught the villain a lesson, the villain will go back to patrol the sentry, and he will not let a fly and mosquito fly into the edict." As he spoke, he didn't look back, as if a mad dog was chasing after him.

He Cellhead ran fast, but Wei Ye couldn't run, so he could only smile and sing a big song to the doctor who had eaten too much sexual hot stuff no matter how he looked at it: "Duke Du, the student serves Wei Ye, the secretary of the temple, and has been ordered to come to the prison to help Duke Du assist in chores." If Du Gong does not think the students are ugly, he is willing to serve Du Gong as a dog and horse. ”

Hearing that it was the clerk of Shizhong Temple, Dr. Du's face was slightly pale, and he pointed to the cell that had just been poured with a concrete shell and was still being sprinkled and maintained: "Since you are here by order, then go to the stone prison to help rectify the prohibition inside, the way of a gentleman lies in sincerity and righteousness, so that you can be loyal to the king!"

It was rare to meet this restless master's tone slowed down, Wei Ye hurriedly gave another salute, and walked quickly towards the concrete cell that said it was a stone prison, or a concrete cell that was in a hurry in the Big Gun Mansion. Behind him, Dr. Nadu's voice rang out again with a roar: "What are you still doing in a daze! Why don't you prepare some fences and chains, and decorate this stone prison more tightly and neatly, if you miss the errand, you are the only one who asks!"

Shouted away from a bunch of people under his command, Du Lan, a subordinate official of Lingtai, sighed again, and said in an empty handwriting: "Taiping thief, Taiping thief, you don't rebel against Qilu, don't rebel against Wu Yue, you want to rebel against Luoyang, you don't know the scriptures, you don't know the history, you want to know the arts." Isn't it strange that I, a scholar and a scholar, have been reduced to prison servitude?"

Dr. Du's emotion was sad, and he could not be ignored for the time being, Wei Ye went down to the stone prison according to the orders of this grumpy guy, but found that there was a different world in this cell, unlike ordinary prisons, which were just finished by building a solid room, but were sunk five or six feet deep, becoming a real dungeon. The four walls of the dungeon are also poured with concrete, and it is estimated that all the cement copied from the Tunbing Grange on Taiping Road is used here, which can be regarded as another new solution of "using the other way to give back to the other body".

If it's just a concrete dungeon, it's nothing new, and the few big stones erected under the dungeon are the main thing. It seems that they are all fine bluestones chiseled by stonemasons and have a slight human shape, and the prototype of a bearded crown is still vaguely revealed in the middle.

A few old men with gray hair and beards were busy drawing something on Shi Weng Zhong with a group of Confucian Forbidden Students, Zanli Sheng, and the like.

There were also a few craftsmen, holding stone chisels, and putting iron chains the thickness of duck eggs on Shi Wengzhong.

The old man at the head was unfolding a silk book and commanding loudly: "The Stone of the East, write the chapter of Qingyang, the stone of the South, write the chapter of Zhu Ming, the stone of the West, write the chapter of Xihao, the stone of the north, write the chapter of Xuanming, and the stone of the center, recommend the liquor and decorate it with yellow threads, and write the chapter of the emperor's arrival." Shangguan is about to arrive, please move faster!"

Shouting like this, this old man's afterglow swept to Wei Ye, who had just entered this concrete stone prison, and the appearance of having nothing to do and being idle was too hateful, and he immediately put his hand towards Wei Ye: "The kid over there, quickly bring the Huang Lingli wine, and welcome Huang Ling to the Zhongzhao Zhiyi is about to begin!"

Well, since ancient times, the righteous officials and miscellaneous officials, damned politicians and working civil servants have never been considered a species.
