Chapter Twenty-Four: Netherworld Purgatory
"Are you mistaken? Uncle Zhang, how could he have committed a crime?"
Before Zhang Mao could react, Wang Mu rushed out of nowhere and stopped in front of those mounted policemen.
Those mounted policemen were holding iron chains in their hands, and they were about to take down Zhang Mao, when they saw this little girl in front of them, they immediately hesitated, and turned their heads to look at the person behind them.
"Officer Zhou, what should I do?"
Wang Mu is just a girl, but the clothes she wears are the school clothes of Huaxia Women's College, although this Huaxia Women's College has a poor reputation because it only recruits women, but because of the master's hand-picking, its influence is still above Chongwen Academy.
They are just ordinary policemen, how dare they arrest the students rashly, not to mention that they don't have an arrest warrant yet!
Zhang Mao was also a little strange, and opened his mouth to ask, "Zhou Xing." Are you mistaken? I don't remember anything wrong I've done!"
Zhou Xing also frowned secretly, swept over the girl with some concern, and when he heard Zhang Mao's inquiry, he immediately replied: "Zhang Mao, haven't you forgotten what happened at the Chengxi Railway Station?"
"What happened at Seongseo Railway Station?"
Zhang Mao was secretly surprised, his eyes were a little worried, he wasted a lot of time in order to recover from his injuries, but he did not return to the police station in time to explain the matter clearly.
Zhou Xing replied: "Not long ago, Li Kui led a group of people to block the front of the police station, saying that you committed murder at the Chengxi Railway Station and killed many of them. So let me come over and bring you back so I can explain it clearly. β
"Is that so?"
Zhang Mao looked at Zhou Xing with suspicious eyes, the other party was not only wearing a gun, but also wearing armor, verbally saying that he was coming to greet him, but he looked hostile.
Zhou Xing smiled: "Of course it is!"
"Oh well. Then I'll go back with you to explain the matter. Zhang Mao nodded, and took a step, ready to follow the other party out of here.
At this time, Wang Mu turned around and grabbed Zhang Maoyi's corner: "Uncle Zhang, don't! They don't look like good people!"
"Mu'er, don't say these foolish things, they are all the same as me, they are policemen, how can they be said to be bad people?" Zhang Mao's expression was slightly condensed, and he directly reprimanded.
Wang Mu's body trembled, his eyes couldn't help but start reddening, and several eyeballs slipped out of the corners of his eyes, with some crying: "But Uncle Zhang, you-"
"Shepherd. β
Touching the little guy's head, Zhang Mao comforted: "You don't know that the lord acts with the most important word justice." There must be some misunderstanding in this matter, and after I explain it to them on my behalf, it will naturally come out. You know what?"
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, you have to be safe, you know?"
Poking his toes on the ground, Wang Mu was a little unwilling, and when he saw those people looking impatient, his little face suddenly turned red, and he pretended to be fierce and vicious to warn.
"If you dare to abuse Uncle Zhang, I will tell Our Lady and let her cure your sins. β
"Don't worry. Zhang Mao and I are also colleagues, and we will take good care of him before the matter is resolved. β
The leader opened his mouth to complain, then turned his head to look at Zhang Mao, and shook the chain in his hand: "Brother Zhang, please!"
Zhang Mao had no choice but to stretch out his hand and let the other party tie himself, and was pushed into the carriage prepared next to him, the iron door was closed with a "bang", and the latch on the outside was also buckled, so as not to be broken free by the people inside.
The carriage was made of steel, and it was pitch black, and because it was so heavy, it needed two horses to drag it, and it was specially made for imprisoning warriors.
Looking at this scene thoughtfully, Xie Jin was puzzled in his heart: "Why did this happen again? Why was Zhang Mao locked up? Could it be related to the Qingyun Gang? It's just that what was the origin of the Qingyun Gang, how dare they do such a thing?" There are too few clues at the moment, although he has the intention to connect them, but he can only do it in vain.
"Hey!"
Suddenly felt pain in his calf, Xie Jin looked down, but saw that Wang Mu had his hands on his hips in front of him, his little head raised, and he looked angry.
"What are you doing here, pestle?
"Where are you going?"
"Of course, I'm going to save Uncle Zhang. Otherwise, what am I telling you to do?"
"Why do you want me to go?"
Xie Jin couldn't laugh or cry, he himself and that Zhang Mao had no reason, but he saw him injured by chance, so he was sent here for treatment.
It's just that this point is already considered benevolent and righteous.
"But I have no one else to ask for but you. Wang Mu's expression paused, and there was a little pain on his little face: "That Uncle Zhang once saved my father, I can't sit idly by! It's a pity that I'm too young to do anything." β
Xie Jin's expression was gloomy, he was just an ordinary student, how dare he get involved in it, he was ready to refuse.
"Come in, you can agree. After all, only you can do this. Xie Lan opened his mouth to persuade.
Although Xie Jin felt helpless, he was able to have today thanks to his sister's dedication, and immediately closed his head and replied: "Okay." Since you said so, sister, then I will accept it. His eyes turned to the Wang Mu, and he said: "It's just that you should also understand that I am just an ordinary person, not a character like the Virgin Mary, if I fail, you can't blame me." You know what?"
The other party's power is huge, and he is only alone, so it is also difficult to find out the reason.
"Crunch!"
Heavy wheels crushed the ground, and the crimson sun hung high in the air.
The scorching sun scorched the ground, which also made Zhang Mao, who was sitting in the carriage, feel a little dull, this carriage did not consider ventilation at all, and there was only an inch of opening to provide breathing, let alone a window or anything, staying in it was really a test of the prisoner's physical fitness.
The air was foul, mixed with an unpleasant stench reminiscent of pork that had been rotten for at least a month.
Staying here, Zhang Mao felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help knocking on the iron door and shouting, "Hey." Where are we going, why haven't we been to the police station yet?"
"It's coming. It's coming soon!"
A voice came from outside the iron gate, but Zhang Mao was even more strange, and asked his own question: "But it's been half an hour, and it can't be that you haven't arrived at the police station yet." β
He was quite familiar with the roads in Chang'an City, so he naturally knew that it only took thirty minutes to get from Huaxia Women's College to the nearest police station, and it might not take half an hour.
"Didn't you say that, and it will be there soon?"
Outside the iron gate, the voice was a little impatient.
Zhang Mao had no choice but to give up the questioning and listen carefully to the movement outside the car, only to feel that it was very noisy outside, and all kinds of sounds came to his ears together, occasionally mixed with a sharp whistle.
"This is the train station, how did I get here?"
Zhang Mao felt panicked, and immediately felt that the whole carriage was suddenly lifted, and he himself was not ready for a while, and immediately fell to the ground.
Afraid of encountering danger, Zhang Mao repeatedly banged on the door of the carriage and shouted loudly: "Hey, is there anyone? If there is someone, can you let me out?"
But no matter how he called, there was no movement outside, and the surroundings became very peaceful, which made Zhang Mao feel particularly uncomfortable.
kept knocking on the wall of the car, but there was no response, as if he was in the dark night, and there was no previous noise around him, and it became very quiet, which made Zhang Mao feel a little broken.
"What the hell is going on? Why haven't I been taken to the police station and interrogated? More importantly, where are these people going to take me?"
Zhang Mao felt scared, for fear that he would encounter danger, so he hurriedly used the Xuangong in his body, planning to take advantage of this time to recover a little physical strength quickly.
"And besidesβ"
The sudden sound told Zhang Mao that he had been put on the train at the moment, but he didn't know where the train was going.
In such a situation, Zhang Mao didn't know what to do, so he had to sit down cross-legged and start practicing to restore his physical functions.
"Bang!
With a loud bang, the iron door was immediately opened, and a ray of sunlight dispelled the darkness, which also made Zhang Mao feel dazzling.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Mao recovered, condensed his gaze to observe the scene in front of him, and was immediately frightened: "Suffer! How did I get brought to this Netherworld Purgatory?"
Speaking of this Netherworld Refining, it is not really a ghostly place, in fact, it was originally a mine used to mine coal, and its address is located in Xunyi County, which is more than two hundred miles away from Chang'an.
Because Chang'an's demand for coal is increasing, the coal in this coal mine has also been mined, leaving a pit.
After the Red Phoenix Army took over, they sorted out these pits and specially strengthened them, but they were made into prisons specially used to hold martial artists.
Because the cells of this prison are basically built in the mines, at night, there will be an inexplicable wail, so it is called the Netherworld Purgatory.
No matter how powerful a martial artist is, after hearing about this place, he will be frightened to the point that his feet will go weak.
Seeing that he was brought here, Zhang Mao was already angry, he couldn't help but be angry, and summoned up a little strength to recover, which was to call Zhou Xing: "I haven't been tried yet, why are you imprisoning me here?"
If at the beginning, he was still a little lucky, thinking that the other party was just handling it impartially, but he was brought here directly before he was judged, and he knew that the other party must be hiding something else.
"Hmph! It's already here, do you think you can still escape?" Zhou Xing sneered, and the two policemen next to him immediately grabbed the chain and pulled it violently.
Zhang Mao couldn't bear it, he spit out a large stream of blood with a "wow", his wound had just recovered, where could he bear this kind of stimulation, he was immediately dragged to the ground and dragged towards the Netherworld Purgatory!
As the sun set, the last bit of light dissipated, and in this netherworld purgatory, dozens of dark caves roared towards the sky, as if to vent the resentment in their hearts.
