Chapter 16: The Prison of the City
"Guest, your refreshments! are all here for you!
The shopkeeper nodded very attentively at the gold lord in front of him, although it is not common to have such a customer without a score in the teahouse, but as long as he serves well, he can still make a lot of money, as long as he has a good attitude towards this kind of dirt bun, he will pretend to be a grandson in front of him for a while, and when he finishes paying the money, how to scold behind his back Anyway, he can't hear it.

"Okay! reward you! Go down!" The turtle gold lord is really very useful for this kind of service attitude, and throws out some broken silver at will, and the shopkeeper holds it in both hands and holds it in his hand with a smile on his face and retreats, and as soon as he walks out, he turned his back and threw away the broken silver with a disgusted face, muttering that he was so stingy to give such a little cloud.
The gold lord naturally couldn't hear it, at this time he picked up the tea cup next to the table, cut the lid and smelled the floating water vapor, his face was full of intoxication, and he praised the good tea and good tea loudly, and then took a sip, yes, he took a sip.
Then he almost dropped the teacup, trembling hands quickly put down the teacup, spit out all the tea in his mouth, stretched out a little whitish tongue and fanned it with his hand, and his mouth was still slurred.
"Hot! Burn me!"
Lin Rusheng on the side sighed, and had no choice but to hand over a handkerchief on the table, "Wipe it, Xiaofei, your clothes are wet." Yue Xiaofei took the tissue and wiped the clothes on his chest, said thank you with a big tongue, and kept exhaling on his mouth.
After pulling Lin Rusheng out of the gambling house, he was originally quite calm, he stood on the side of the street and looked at the two thousand taels of silver tickets in his hand, his shoulders trembled, and if no one had to laugh loudly, he attracted the sideways eyes of passers-by, and it was Lin Rusheng who stopped him from acting like a neurotic, and then Yue Xiaofei had to pull Lin Rusheng to invite him to eat, and finally chose a teahouse.
As soon as he entered the teahouse hall, Yue Xiaofei shouted at the top of his voice that Xiao Er would come and serve, and the other guests who were originally sitting in the hall talking privately were all angry at Yue Xiaofei in fright, and the shopkeeper saw that the situation was not right, and immediately beckoned Yue Xiaofei to go to the private room on the second floor.
"Xiao Fei, in fact, you don't need to order so many things. Lin Rusheng looked at the dishes and dishes on the table, there were two large pots of tea alone, and he was a little speechless.
"I didn't think that you invited me to dinner, so I also invited you to drink tea to eliminate your appetite. Yue Xiaofei was still fanning his tongue with the palm of his hand.
"But this pomp...."Lin Rusheng shook his head according to his forehead.
"Alright, you and I have nothing to see. Yue Xiaofei waved his hand, and his tongue finally didn't react so much, and immediately interrupted Lin Rusheng's words, and turned to look at the third person in the room with a disgusted expression, "I said, I'll invite Brother Lin and tea, what are you going to do here." ā
The third person in the room was Li Mu, who was sitting there cutting the tea lid and blowing gently, and when he heard Yue Xiaofei's question, he didn't answer immediately, so he slowly took a sip and put down the tea cup before looking back at Yue Xiaofei.
"I said you're too uninteresting, I just saved your life, what's wrong with drinking your tea. ā
"Come on, I didn't ask you to help me, I can deal with that guy myself. Yue Xiaofei pursed his lips with disdain.
"Oh, it seems that he is a righteous man who can save my sister. ā
Listening to Yue Xiaofei's words, Li Mu's temper also came up, and there were not many people who spoke to him like this in Dayuan Mansion City, only to see him put all his palms on the table, and suddenly pressed down as if he was exerting force. The table and his hanging long sleeves all began to tremble slightly, and the originally calm surface of the tea cup in front of Yue Xiaofei that had not been covered also began to ripple in circles.
Yue Xiaofei saw that the surface of the tea in front of him changed, and suddenly became angry, holding the teacup in one hand and glaring at Li Mu opposite, ready to splash the hot tea on Li Mu's face if he made the next move.
"You two..... It's almost okay. Lin Rusheng could only come out to be a peacemaker again, after listening to his words, Li Mu didn't exert any more strength, took a piece of dim sum and leaned back on the chair to eat slowly, and Yue Xiaofei also rubbed the hand that was holding the teacup just now, the tea was really a little hot, and he couldn't stand it from a distance.
"Xiao Fei, how did you do it in the casino just now, I haven't heard you say it before. Lin Rusheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that both of them had withdrawn their hands, and hurriedly changed the topic.
"Well, how can you eat when you go out without any little skills. Yue Xiaofei's tone was very modest, but that expression was so stinky that expression.
In fact, Yue Xiaofei didn't expect that the chicken rib skills he practiced hard in his previous life in order to please girls would come in handy in this casino, which is why Yue Xiaofei dared to bet on Zhang Biao's biggest reliance.
"That is, if you are caught by the people in the casino, you don't know how to die. Li Mu directly poured cold water.
"Oh, why didn't I die just now? Yue Xiaofei choked back unnaturally.
"Can you two stop for a while?" The appearance of these two people about to pinch up without saying a word made Lin Rusheng have no choice, and he still took the initiative to interrupt the conversation, "Xiao Fei, if you have this ability, you will have the opportunity to teach me in the future, maybe it will come in handy one day." ā
"That's fine, it's not a big deal. Yue Xiaofei looked very casual.
"So generous? Why don't you teach me too? Li Mu smiled and spoke. Just kidding, this skill is a miracle skill for a gambler like him.
"Teach you?" Hearing what Li Mu said, Yue Xiaofei smiled very sinisterly, "You beg me, if you beg me, I will teach you." ā
"You!" Li Mu thought that he had already given Yue Xiaofei a lot of face, but he still got such an answer, he immediately stood up and looked at Yue Xiaofei very dissatisfied, his eyebrows moved, but he still couldn't help but have a seizure, and flicked his sleeves and said coldly, "My sister is back, I haven't been to see it yet, so I won't accompany you, Lin Rusheng, you haven't visited my sister either, then go back with me." After speaking, he ignored Yue Xiaofei and walked out of the private room directly.
"Eh, Li Gongzi!" Lin Rusheng listened to Li Mu's words Li Mu was a little surprised, and then thought that he had indeed not visited Li Yun'er since he came back, so he also stood up, and when he passed by Yue Xiaofei, he patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go!" After speaking, he also went out and caught up with Li Mu.
"I'll go, this thing and the tea haven't moved at all! How much do you want to see that little girl!" Yue Xiaofei shouted at Lin Rusheng's back and didn't get a response, and then looked at the table full of untouched refreshments, he was very distressed and bitter, and quickly stuffed a large mouthful of something into his mouth, took a few pieces in his hand, and got up and chased out.
Just as the three of them were walking back to Li's Mansion, in a mountain behind the city, several fast horses were running quickly with dust, and it was Li Zhi who was sitting on the horse at the head.
Li Zhi's face was tired at this time, but his eyes were clear, and at this time he stopped his horse and turned over and jumped down, and the place where he stopped actually opened a gate on the mountain, and several big characters of Fucheng Prison were carved on the rock above. Li Zhi walked towards the gate, and immediately someone stepped forward to lead the horses of the group, and a soldier wearing military armor walked up to Li Zhi and saluted.
"The last general has seen the lord of the mansion!"
"No need to be polite, what about Zhang Feng?" Li Zhi waved his hand.
"General Zhang is waiting inside for you, Lord of the Mansion!"
"Lead the way. ā
"Yes. ā
When Yixin entered the prison, a cold air immediately enveloped everyone, and all the cells all the way to the interior were carved out of the middle of the mountain, without any sunlight to shine into, only the torches scattered on both sides of the aisle as lighting tools, this prison was so large that it almost hollowed out half of the mountain at the bottom.
"Li Zhixiaoer, are you here to accompany the old man. ā
Li Zhi and his party were walking on the road, and a grim old laugh suddenly came from the darkness of a cell on the side, and then a black and thin hand stretched out suddenly, and the skin on the arm was even a little ulcerated, and it stretched out as if to grab Li Zhi who was walking by.
Li Zhi looked at the hand that was almost able to touch him, he was not frightened but expressionless, and continued to walk forward after staying for a while, and the entourage behind him quickly pulled out the matching sword on his waist without saying a word, and slashed it at the outstretched hand with one hand.
"Ah!" the screams echoed through the dark mountain prison, as if affected by the scream, and the other cells in the prison also roared, some seemed to cry, some seemed to moan, and some screamed as if they were crazy. The flames of the torches on the walls also shook a little at this time, and the flickering prison was full of demons dancing for a while.
"Send someone to clean up. The soldier who had just led the way gave instructions to the soldiers guarding the side after Li Zhi left, and followed closely behind.
The group walked in the dark corridor for a long time, and suddenly came to a wooden door, in front of which stood two guards of soldiers, and when they saw Li Zhi coming, they first bent down and saluted and then opened the wooden door.
"Squeak-" An old screech echoed as a downward stone staircase emerged behind the door.
Li Zhi walked in directly, and the people behind him followed.
Walking down the floor for a while, the temperature on the ground was lower, and the air was full of earthy smells, and in addition to the earthy smell, there was also an indescribable smell, if there was a pretense here, it would definitely smell the smell of corpses decomposing.
At the end of the stairs, a separate cell was with the door open, and in the cell stood a person Yue Xiaofei also knew.
"General Zhang, wait a long time. Li Zhi walked into the cell and greeted lightly.
"Lord of the Mansion, you have been in this city prison for a while, it seems that there are many people here who want you to die. ā
"Zhang Feng, who are you talking to!" Before Li Zhi could speak, the entourage behind him seemed to feel that Li Zhi had been offended, and at this time he took a step forward with a fierce face, but was stopped by Li Zhi.
"It's funny, there are a lot of people here who were also sent in by you Zhang Feng, and they can't ask for your life. Li Zhi responded with a smile.
"Hehe, in the siege battle thirty years ago, the 50,000 people defending the city spent a month to build this prison, but only thirty years later, when Dayuan Mansion is in your hands, this prison is almost too crowded to fit, do you want you to die more people. Zhang Feng still had his hands behind his back.
"Hehe, each other. A few steps forward, Li Shangshang found a wooden platform in the center of the cell, covered with a white cloth, and the smell of rotting corpses could also be asked in the cell.
"Hehe, you should be interested in this. Zhang Feng also noticed that Li Zhi noticed the things in the cell, walked over and lifted the white cloth, revealing a slightly rotten blackened face.
"This is the person who wants to kill your daughter, Li Zhi, you have to take a good look. ā
If Yue Xiaofei and Lin Rusheng were here, they would definitely recognize it, and that face was the owner of the watermelon stall who was going to arrest Li Yun'er outside the city that day.
