Chapter 34: Beating
After everyone was disbanded, the head of the team, Hu Wei, took Tang Li to the prison and explained some of the conditions of the government prison.
Hu Wei said, "My lord, the government prison is divided into five layers, the first layer is to hold some insignificant prisoners, the basement layer is for heavy criminals or death row prisoners, the second underground layer is for court felons, the third underground layer is for monks with mana, and the bottom layer is for prisoners who are guarded by the Imperial Guard, unless there is a decree from the Lord of the Imperial Guard, no one is allowed to enter, not even our lord, but you can, in this prison, you are always like this." ”
Hu Wei made a gesture of 'you are the king of heaven'.
Tang Li nodded noncommittally, regarding the authority, Lord Fuzun has already explained to him, this is not a regulation set by Lord Fuzun, but the outline system of the imperial court, the imperial decree of the saint, not anyone can say it.
Don't look at Tang Li in the mansion, and even the entire Nantian City is an inconspicuous petty official, but in this prison, he even has the power to try prisoners, except that he does not have the power of life and death, which is enough to cover the sky with one hand.
However, under normal circumstances, few prisons will do this, and who knows if there is a possibility of turning over, so the smart ones will leave a way back for themselves, and maybe they will soar because of this.
Tang Li's previous term pressed the right treasure, and as a result, he went to a wealthy county to become the emperor of the soil.
Under the guidance of Hu Wei, except for the fifth layer, Tang Li basically turned around, he thought that he could see the two evil cultivators, but he learned that he was imprisoned on the fifth floor, and it seemed that the imperial guards still attached more importance to these two.
Tang Wei thought that if he had the opportunity, he must meet these two people who almost killed him, and talk to them about life.
But not now.
Tang Li secretly calculated, if he wanted to enter the fifth layer, he had to say hello to the imperial guards, otherwise it would not sound good to say, so as not to fall into the handle.
After walking around, Tang Li basically knew the number in his heart, and he also had a general understanding of this Hu Bantou.
From this point on, the person knows everything in the prison well, and knows each prisoner like a treasure, and even knows his preferences clearly, which is not difficult to see that this person is as careful as a hair, and he is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.
But then again, Liu Zhutou is also a good person, and he is not obedient to him, if this Hu Bantou can use it for himself, it is also a good arm, but on the contrary, it must be a poisonous nail.
"Can this official really cover the sky with one hand here?" Tang Li asked with interest.
"It's true," Hu Wei said with a flattering face as he laughed on the side, "If the adults don't like it, it doesn't hurt to kill one or two, and the brothers have a way to make the imperial guards unable to find out the clues." ”
"Hehe, if it's really as the old brother said, once you offend any powerful person, it's no wonder if the official is not skinned," Tang Li sneered, and glared at Hu Wei without being salty.
"The adult is wronged, and the subordinates will never dare to harm the adult!" Hu Wei has been working in the prison for seventeen years, what kind of person has never seen it, and he has long cultivated an iron-like heart, but the moment he looked at this adult, he actually had an inexplicable panic, that kind of contempt for life, is by no means something that a pure person can have.
Hu Wei was secretly frightened, this person looked harmless to humans and animals, and he was not very old, but he gave people a sense of weathered vicissitudes, as if he had already seen through the hearts of people in the world.
"Whether there is a wrongdo, you just have points in your heart," Tang Li naturally knew that he didn't dare, but he just wanted to take the opportunity to knock it, if it was stubborn, even if it took a lot of effort, he had to let him retire early.
Officials are no better than civilians, even if they are smaller, if they don't have a handle, they can't easily move, but it's up to people.
Hu Wei responded 'yes' in a loud voice, but he had to weigh one or two in his heart, it was just a sycophant, but he could also be used by the other party to play on the topic, and secretly said that this person is really not easy to provoke, and he is really not a good person.
"It's almost time, it's time to go to dinner," Tang Li said with a twist of words.
"It's indeed here," Hu Weiyan breathed a sigh of relief, bowed down and made a 'please' gesture, "Your Excellency, please go to the cafeteria with your subordinates to eat." ”
The official's canteen is in the government, but it is divided into three, six, nine and so on, one room for non-economic system, one room for the officials, and another room for officials.
However, the officials are also divided, although Tang Li and other nine-grade sesame officials are only separated by a screen, the food is completely different, and just one glance makes him lose his appetite.
It's not that he eats a lot of food, it's just that there must be greasy and greasy slices of fat meat in every dish, and he has no appetite when he looks at it, and picks up a few chopsticks like chewing wax and picks up a few vegetables that don't even have a salty taste, and then gets up and prepares to leave.
"Isn't it because the prison lord thinks this food is not delicious?"
Tang Li looked for prestige, but it was an official from the eighth grade, who looked a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be Master Huo who was in the same courtyard as him.
"It turned out to be Lord Huo," Tang Li said politely with a smile on his face.
Who knew that the other party didn't buy his account at all, and he flicked his sleeve robe with his eyebrows and said, "This official is not very familiar with you, don't come to this set, the prison lord has more than half a bowl of rice left, what does this mean?"
Tang Xuan said, is this person sick, what does it have to do with you if you eat more and eat less, not to mention that you are an official in the same dynasty and in the same courtyard, what kind of trouble are you making?
Seeing that the other party was not polite, Tang Li also lost his good face, "Tang has a loss of appetite, is there anything wrong?"
Master Huo pointed to the sign on the pillars of the cafeteria and said, "Lord Tang is illiterate?"
Tang Li looked at it, but it was the dining rules of this canteen.
It turns out that it doesn't matter how much you eat or how little you eat, but you can't waste a grain of rice, otherwise no matter how big an official you are, you will have to be beaten unless you don't eat here.
So it turned out that Tang Wei knew that the other party had good intentions, so naturally he would not bite Lu Dongbin, the displeasure on his face suddenly dissipated, he sat down and ate all the rice in the bowl, and left the table with a bow of his hand towards the other party.
The dish is shared by ten people, so it doesn't matter if you finish it or not.
When Tang Li left the cafeteria, that Lord Huo looked at his back but had a gloomy face, and snorted coldly, "It seems that this prisoner Tang is very oily and watery, and he can't look down on the coarse tea and light rice in this canteen at all." ”
Everyone looked at each other, didn't answer, and ate the rice in the bowl by themselves, this Lord Huo saw that no one answered, but his face became more and more ugly, and he dropped his chopsticks, and then got up and left the table, but the rice in his bowl was almost untouched.
