Known as the ancient capital, "Yanjing" has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The geographical location of info Yanjing is extremely important, in the north, there is the important post town Jimingyi sitting in the lifeline of the north; in the south, the postal forces and the two most widely distributed factions, the Jinyi Guard and the beggar gang, are among them; in the east, there are the 16 states of Youyun, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Penglai Wonderland, which is beautiful on the outside and hides the danger inside; and in the west, there is the yellowing plain where ravines are vertical and horizontal, and officials and bandits are rampant. Yanjing is the connecting point of all this, making it integrated and thoughtful.

The heads of countless soldiers were sprinkled, and the blood was reincarnated for many years. The valleys of the garrison, the simple villages, under the influence of years of war, the high walls that were once awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring have also become devastated.

In the northwest corner of Yanjing City, there is a special place. That is, there is no entry and exit subordinate to the Jinyi Guard, the edict prison is the place where the emperor imprisons the officials, and it is directly under the control of the emperor's Jinyi Guard, so it is also called 'Jinyi Prison. The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have no right to intervene, and the prison is "invulnerable, and the atmosphere of the epidemic is full of prisons." "It's one of the most terrible places in the world.

Early this morning, Helian Bobian went out early, obviously he was not yet 17 years old, and a year ago in order to give his sister a better life, he had already joined the army, but in this peaceful years, how can there be any benefits of joining the army. Just when I was depressed in my heart, I didn't know which way I met the fairy who went out to hang out, and was favored by the brocade guard and included in the door wall. But he was assigned to this terrifying place in Yanjing City, and even in the entire Ming Empire, which was feared by Jinyiwei.

Dressed in a somewhat shabby jailer's costume, he carried a normal long knife at his waist that he had never had a chance to draw. Walk on the avenue where there are not many pedestrians. Slowly calculated in his heart: "This month's salary will have to wait a few days, and now that spring is also in place, it's time to buy some new clothes for Yue'er." "The prison is not far from Helenbo's residence, just a few streets away. It didn't take long to get to the door. After greeting a few guards at the door, Helianbo frowned and entered.

"Helian is here?" Sitting at the wooden table in the hall on the ground, a middle-aged man said.

"I'm idle, so I'll come early to change shifts. Helian Bo smiled and sat down at the wooden table.

"Hey, then I'll go back early, or the old woman at home will nag me again!" The middle-aged man turned around and packed up the cotton clothes he had used to keep out the cold last night. "Then I'll go back first, you have to watch it well, there are not enough people these days, be more careful. ”

"I understand, I understand," Helianbo said, waving his hand at the other man. This old Li Tou is not bad, but he is a little verbose, so that he asked for a daughter-in-law who is even more verbose than him, and just managed him.

"You baby just don't listen to persuasion, I'm leaving, you be careful yourself, if you have something, call the takeaway soldier!" Lao Li Tou said another word of advice before limping out of the hall.

After Helian Bo saw Lao Li Tou leave, he looked up and down, left and right, this is the edict that will almost make everyone frightened, and it seems a little peaceful at this moment, maybe only now can you enjoy such tranquility. By the afternoon, the edict was a different story...... The scolding of the brocade guards, the wails of the prisoners, and the sound of the whip breaking through the air will completely resound in this place that is still relatively peaceful.

Standing up and patting his face, Helian Bo grabbed the waist knife beside him and began to inspect the cell as usual, this is a daily routine, although no one will be stupid enough to rob prisoners in this Yanjing City, but as Lao Li Tou said, it is always right to be careful.

Da Da Da ...... Helienbo's footsteps were thought in the prison. Every time he walked through a cell, the people inside would subconsciously let out a tremble, Helian Bo saw it in his eyes, and his heart was very helpless, although he was a prison guard under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei, but he was not like other genuine Jinyiwei, with gorgeous brocade clothes and delicate embroidered spring knives. All he has is the same as the jailers in every prison in the Ming Dynasty, the usual jailer clothes, and the ordinary waist knife.

The prisoners trembled at the sound of their footsteps, and Helian Bo was not surprised, he had seen the punishment inflicted on the prisoners from afar, which could be described as hell, and the screams of the prisoners kept him awake for more than ten days. He didn't dare to tell his sister Helian Yue, because if she knew that she was working in such a place, she was afraid that she would let him leave no matter what.

Helian Bo walked step by step, and he didn't know how many cells he had passed.

"It's Helian Xiaoyou, right?" Before anyone arrived, a call came from the cell that was still a little bright.

Helianbo hurriedly walked a few steps, stood outside the cell and said, "How did Mr. Xie know that it was me?" Gently stroking the iron grate, Helianbo asked.

"Haha......" The middle-aged Confucian who was known as Mr. Xie laughed heartily a few times and said, "Except for Helian Xiaoyou, I'm afraid there is no one in this prison who has come to inspect so early. “

Mr. Xie teased. Helianbo scratched his head and looked at the other party embarrassedly.

"I'm making fun of Xiaoyou, I just want to talk to Xiaoyou about things outside for a while while it's still quiet here. The middle-aged man stroked his beard and said.

Helian Bo found a clean place on the ground and sat down, and told him everything he had seen and heard outside in the past few days.

"Hahahaha......" The middle-aged man listened happily and laughed on his back.

Helian Bo saw it in his eyes, and he was actually very curious in his heart. Why is it that a person who has been imprisoned is not afraid of seeing the living like the prisoners before him, but not like the person in front of him, who is not only cheerful, but also asks him about some outside things in his spare time every day? In fact, in detail, this prisoner is indeed unusual. Ever since he entered this prison, no one has spoken to him, no one has interrogated him, but he has been locked up in this cell, and then it is as if he had been forgotten, and he has never cried out here. It's like two people can't see each other.

Time passed quickly, and when the sunlight shone in through the window of the man surnamed Xie's cell, Helian Bo knew that those brocade guards might be coming soon, and if they found themselves talking to the prisoner privately, it would be a great deal.

"Sir, someone is coming, I'll go first, and I'll come back tomorrow to see you. Helenbo stood up and slapped the dust off his body.

"Helian Xiaoyou......" Just as he was about to leave, the middle-aged man stopped Helianbo. "There is something to ask for below, I don't know if I can ...... it"

"Is there something wrong with you, sir?" said Helianbo in surprise. "Please, sir, if you do what you can, you will definitely help. ”

"Haha......" The middle-aged man smiled: "I wonder if Helian Xiaoyou can bring a pot of wine to him when he comes back tomorrow?"

"Wine?" Helian Bo was stunned, obviously not expecting the other party to make this request. He thought for a moment, and then said, "The gentleman's business is on me!"

"Then there will be more little friends!" the middle-aged man arched his hand at Helianbo.

Time flies, after listening to the wailing of prisoners all day, it is finally time to leave work, and when Lao Li Tou comes to change shifts with supper, Helian Bo can't wait. The food in this edict can be said to prevent people from starving to death, and it is absolutely impossible to say that it is delicious, and now Helian Bo only wants to go home quickly and eat the food prepared by his sister-in-law.

After saying hello to Lao Li, Helian Bo rushed out of the gate of the edict. Thinking about the direction home.

"Shopkeeper...... But there is still wine?" asked Helenbo, standing in front of the liquor store, leaning into it.

"Yes, a pot of five cents!" the shopkeeper replied without raising his head while knocking on the abacus in his hand.

Helian Bo took a long time in his arms before he found two copper plates. Looking at the two copper plates lying quietly in the palm of his hand, he only smiled bitterly and left the wine shop.

Gently pushing the fence open, Helenbo will see that there is still light in the house, and he will know that the girl is still waiting for him to return.

"Squeak......" The wooden door made a screeching sound.

"Brother?" The shadow in the room flickered, and a crisp girl came.

"It's me. Helian Bo sat on the edge of the table, took away the two bowls that had been turned over, and saw that the food was still warm, and his heart was still a little happy.

"Why did you come back so late? I saw a goose egg face, and the woman who was about fifteen or sixteen years old with willow eyebrows lifted the curtain and walked out of the back room, thinking about Helian Bodao.

"Hehe, I went halfway to spare a lap. Helian Bo took a few bites of food, looked at Helian Yue who was sitting opposite, and said, "Why did you go to needlework again, and you did it so late." You're not in good health, and you're ...... so tired."

"It's not a heavy job, you can do it yourself. Helian Yue spoke, and at the same time, he quickly threaded the needle in his hand. "Aunt Wang is also too busy over there, and she can help subsidize some households, why don't I do it. ”

"......" Helian Bo shook his head, not bothering with his own sister, "I said Yue'er?"

"Huh?" Helian Yue replied. Show you're listening.

"Do you still have any money?" The voice was so small that Helian Yue couldn't hear it if he didn't listen carefully.

"What did you just say?" Helian Yue stopped the needle and thread in his hand and looked up at the other party and asked.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing......" Helian Bo smiled awkwardly and quickly said no.

There was no word all night, and the sky was still bright, Helianbo still got up early and began to tidy up. "Then I'll go first!" he said to the back room.

"Wait!" Helienbo was stopped before he could step out of the threshold.

"What's wrong?

The curtain in the inner room was lifted by Helian Yue. Seeing that the other party slowly walked to him, Helian Bo was a little nervous and said, "What's wrong?"

"Take this one. Helian Yue stretched out his little hand and put the thing in his hand into his brother's hand. Helian Bo looked down and saw that it was a neatly dressed penny.

"This ......"

"I still have it here, don't worry about giving you these. Looking at Helianbo, who was extremely surprised, she turned her head and said, "Save some flowers, I won't give you this again until the next salary is handed in!"

"Hey!" Helenbo grinned, pushing the door in the direction of the prison.

Walking on the streets of Yanjing, Helian Bo was holding a pot of wine he had just bought in his arms, and his heart was full of joy, "Presumably Mr. Xie will be very happy!" Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help but speed up his steps.

"Hey?" At the door where he had just left, Helian Bo looked around and said strangely: "What's going on today? The gatekeepers have all gone back to rest?" The two soldiers who were originally standing guard at the gate of the Imperial Prison were not at their posts today. "Forget it...... I don't care what they do. ”

Chirping...... Helian Bo pushed the door in, stopped just a few steps, took a few deep breaths and sniffed with his nose, and wondered in his heart, this edict is smelly on weekdays, but today it is ...... Not...... What's going on......" Helianbo took another breath, only to feel weakness in his limbs and blurred in front of his eyes. "Mixiang, someone robbed the prison!"

Helian Bo smacked to help the wooden table, trying to turn around and run outside, but as soon as he turned his head, a back in front of him actually knocked him out, and the wine jug in his arms was also knocked off, and the wine in the pot spilled on the ground.

"Yes...... Person...... ......Helian Bo squeezed a few words between his teeth, and fell to the ground, only to hear a few staccato conversations in the dark.

"Don't kill him......" the voice is familiar. "Take him...... Let's walk ......"
