Chapter 208 Get out of prison
It was quiet and empty, cold and damp, and there was a musty smell of blood in the air.
Walking in this long corridor, only the quiet footsteps of Xu Yuan and Xu Mengxi echoed quietly.
Walking all the way, Xu Yuan could clearly see the miserable appearance of the prisoners in the cells on both sides.
The people locked in this imperial prison are either some giants of one party, or important officials of the court who have been famous in the court for a while.
But now some of these people are **** and inhuman, and the painful whispers from their mouths are blocked by the soundproof array of the cell.
People who entered the imperial prison basically have nothing to do with people.
This is Xu Yuan's first visit to this kind of place.
The Imperial Prison, the Sky Prison and the Black Prison are collectively known as the Three Great Prisons of Dayan.
The former two are official in nature, while the latter is private.
He has a great reputation among the dignitaries, and the reputation of framing Zhongliang and beating him into tricks is too numerous to mention.
Thinking about some messy things, Xu Yuan set his sights on the slim figure in front of him.
A long, high ponytail kept swaying behind Xu Mengxi's head. She seemed very happy to catch him to this prison.
Sure enough, just like Cangyuanli, she is a standard arrogant and stunning girl who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
But considering the previous festivities, this woman should be really cold on the outside and cold on the inside.
Just as he was thinking, Xu Mengxi suddenly stopped in front of him.
Xu Yuan restrained his thoughts and asked:
"arrive?"
Xu Mengxi ignored him, used the key to open a cell next to him, turned his eyes, and spit out two words coldly:
"Go in."
The slightly sharp voice echoed in the long corridor.
Xu Yuan glanced at the cell, but didn't move.
Just for fun, can a dude live in a place like this?
It was dark and damp, with a wooden table, a wooden chair, and the straw mat was still stained with the dark brown blood of the previous owner.
Xu Mengxi saw this scene, her not-so-full **** heaved and fell twice, with a strange air of yin and yang:
"Third Young Master, do you think this place doesn't match your identity?"
Xu Yuan glanced at the various blood-stained instruments of torture in the torture room, and turned his eyes:
"I remember that your secret investigation department only arrests people, and the interrogation and arranging of torture chambers should be in charge of the prison's criminal supervisor."
Xu Mengxi smiled slightly at Xu Yuan upon hearing the words:
"Don't worry about the third son, the area along the Longping River is under the control of the little girl. If you commit crimes there, according to the law of Yan, I, the fourth-rank emissary, have the right to detain you for three days."
"Huh?" Xu Yuan didn't quite understand these twists and turns in the law: "Really?"
"How dare the little girl lie to you?"
Xu Mengxi's eyes were bent into two crescents:
"Next, third son, you will spend an unforgettable time with me in this room."
Xu Yuan smiled: "Alright."
Strode into the torture room, sat on the only chair in the torture room with Erlang legs crossed, and glanced back at the flat-chested girl at the door:
"Since the beauty invites you, I naturally cannot refuse."
Say it,
Xu Yuan took out a bottle of drunken wine and two portable Mingwen lamps from the Sumeru Ring, and poured himself a drink:
"Come on, hang it up for me, this place is too dark, I'm not used to it."
"Hiss." Xu Mengxi's eyes shot fire.
"Don't pant, no matter how much you pant, it won't make you bigger."
“.”
Taking a last deep breath, Xu Mengxi walked up to him and slapped it on the desk directly. The wine in the bottle shook for a while, slamming every word:
"Xu Changtian, this is the Imperial Prison, hand over Xu Mijie!"
Xu Yuan froze while drinking, blinking his eyes:
"Ah? This prison does not allow the use of Sumeru Precepts?"
“.”
Xu Mengxi took a breath and smiled angrily:
"What do you say?"
Xu Yuan nodded, slowly took off the Sumeru ring from his fingers, put it on the table, and said with a gentle smile:
"Okay, since Mengxi you said so, then I don't need it."
Xu Mengxi picked up the Sumeru ring.
Xu Yuan's eyes were full of surprise:
"Are you sure you want to take my Sumeru ring?"
Xu Mengxi snorted and laughed:
"If you are worried that I will steal your things, you don't have to. This Sumeru ring will be placed in the storage cabinet of the imperial prison. If you can go out, it will naturally return it to you."
"Well, you can take it if you want, anyway, there are some property pills inside."
Xu Yuan took a deep look at her, and then spread his hands:
"If Mengxi wants to do something to me, it's best to do it now. If it's half an hour at night, you probably won't have a chance."
"Xu Changtian, you don't seem to understand the situation."
Xu Mengxi stood by the table, and the bright-patterned lamp placed on the table made her face look a little gloomy in the dark cell: "Everything you did before was nothing but robbery. Today you have already affected the affairs of the military and the country. Do you think you Can you still go out?"
Xu Yuan raised his cuffs and put his elbows on the desk:
"Although I didn't know it in advance, the result was that an important envoy was killed. Considering the public opinion of the court and all parties, I don't think I will be able to go out soon."
Xu Mengxi smiled when he heard the words, but the next moment Xu Yuan's slow voice came again:
“But I don’t think I’m going to live here either.”
“.”
Xu Mengxi clenched his fists slightly.
There is no kingly law.
Lawlessness.
Of course she would not be executed because of the powerful prime minister, even if this dude committed heinous crimes, but she would at least let him take off a layer of skin by using the crime of beheading an envoy from another country.
Teach this dude an unforgettable lesson for those who have suffered.
"Don't believe me."
Xu Yuan sighed softly, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and the soft sound of "Du" and "Du" echoed:
"In order to prevent you from doing some stupid things to me, within a quarter of an hour, there is a high probability that a high-ranking official will come to you. It may be the Sikou of the prison, but there is a greater probability that it will be your master, Secret Detective In short, this person will tell you that this matter will be taken over by him.
"You will be dissatisfied and feel wronged, but he will use strong reasons like your level is not enough to handle such things to kick you out."
"And when I see him, I will tell him that you have taken my Sumeru Ring, and he will ask you to return it to me, but at this time, a Yangsui Pill will be missing from my Sumeru Ring. It was too expensive, only about ten thousand taels of silver.
"Of course he knows that you won't take my things, but he will still give me back, and then take me to live in the best cell in your prison. That cell will be equipped with various formation books. I am willing, I can even ask the jailer to go to Goulan to find a few ladies and gentlemen to sing and play the flute for me."
"Why?!"
The voice of anger and grievance echoed in the silent corridor.
Xu Mengxi stared at the sinking master in front of him, and clenched his fists tightly: "Master, then Xu Changtian committed murder in the street in full view, I... let's just forget about it?"
"Forget it, I will interrogate him personally. You have been in the secret investigation department for seven years, and you should know how to see the essence through things."
An old man with grizzled hair and beard said earnestly: "This matter involves the royal court of the desert, the current emperor, and Xu Gong. For the matter here, Mengxi, do you think your official position is enough to deal with the next investigation?"
“.”
Xu Mengxi looked at the loving old man in front of him, seemed to understand, bit the corner of his lips, and his voice was hoarse:
"Master, I didn't touch Xu Changtian's Sumeru Precepts."
The old man smiled, raised his hand to caress the apprentice's drooping cheek, and comforted him:
"Of course the teacher knows that you haven't moved."
After ten days, the imperial prison, an attic.
The cool breeze blows in along the window, the source qi overflowing from the source crystal fills the entire "prison", and the faint sandalwood slowly floats out from the small stove beside the bed.
Sitting cross-legged on the balcony and practicing with his eyes closed, Xu Yuan suddenly heard the cell door creak and being pushed open from the outside.
Opening his eyes and seeing the person coming, Xu Yuan dispelled his exercises and smiled:
Xu Mengxi walked into the cell with a cold face and asked:
"Did you ask my master for that Yang Sui Dan?"
Xu Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard the words, got up and walked to the table, picked up the hot tea that was boiling, poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, and watched the heat from the tea flowing out of the spout:
"I don't lack this thing, why should I bully you?"
Xu Mengxi stared at him coldly:
"Stop pretending to be a saint here, you will never let go of the opportunity to bully others."
Xu Yuan glanced at her when he heard the words, the corners of his lips curled slightly:
"You really know me. If I had this opportunity before, you would most likely lose your entire family and sell yourself to sleep with me."
Xu Mengxi looked contemptuously:
"Sleeping with you? Just your cultivation?"
“.”
Turning around, Xu Yuan glanced up and down the slim figure of the other party, and said with a smile:
"Mengxi, you may not know that sleeping is not just one action."
“.”
Xu Mengxi was taken aback for a moment, then his face flushed, his eyes brimming with embarrassment, and a jade hand unconsciously held the saber at his waist.
Xu Yuan waved his hand indifferently:
"Okay, just don't talk so fast like me at your level, I won't ask your master for things, but now I think it's boring to bully people like you."
The casualness in Xu Yuan's words made Xu Mengxi on the opposite side a little furious.
Like a dog, a dog that will bite at any time.
Xu Mengxi's delicate body trembled faintly, as if she wanted to draw her sword.
Xu Yuan didn't feel flustered at all when he saw him. He drank from a teacup and admired the other party's anger with great interest, but he wanted to pretend to be calm.
The female head catcher of the secret investigation department is not a big ice dumpling or a washboard saint, and he can beat her now.
For a while,
Xu Mengxi spoke again, her voice suppressed anger:
".Xu Changtian, I hope you are telling the truth."
"Um?"
Xu Yuan didn't realize what the other party meant for a while: "What's the truth?"
Xu Mengxi loosened the saber at his waist and straightened his jade back:
"Since it's meaningless to bully a little girl, I think you, Mr. Xu San, will never bully the common people in the world."
“.”
After a little silence, Xu Yuan suddenly grinned at the woman, reached out and patted her on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, if this son wants to bully now, he is also bullying the sect family, princes and nobles, and will not do the boring things before."
After finishing speaking, Xu Yuan walked directly towards the prison door.
"Snapped-"
Xu Mengxi grabbed Xu Yuan's hand and said angrily:
"Xu Changtian, what are you doing?"
"Get out of jail."
Xu Yuan took it for granted: "Didn't you come to this cell to take me out?"
Xu Mengxi was a little quieter, and took out two hoops:
"Take it, I will take you to see Lord Sikou first."
Xu Yuan stretched out his hand and laughed:
“Formalism.”
Xu Mengxi glared at him:
"Xu Changtian, don't be complacent, I will settle the accounts with you one by one in the future."
Xu Yuan was handcuffed, and smiled casually:
"According to your own words, it is estimated that you will have to wait until you cultivate to become a saint."
After more than half a decade, the weather was clear and cloudless.
The Chao Prison is located in the southwest corner of the inner city of the Imperial Capital. It is relatively remote. Outside the prison is a deep and quiet alley.
Accompanied by Prison Sikou and Xu Mengxi, Xu Yuan was politely sent out.
As soon as he came out, Xu Yuan saw a black dragon carriage parked for a long time at the entrance of the alley:
"Since the mansion has already sent the carriage over, Master Si Kou doesn't need to send it over."
The Sikou of the imperial prison is chubby, and he looks very friendly, insisting on sending him over:
"For the matter of a few steps away, Mr. Xu has neglected me when he came to my prison. I hope you don't take offense."
Xu Yuan glanced at him, Si Kou:
"After all, I am not prepared. Next time I come back, I will greet Meng Xi in advance and ask you to prepare."
Xu Mengxi remained silent with a cold face.
The Prison Sikou smiled awkwardly.
His official position as a military commander is not too big, not too small.
In the imperial prison, if you say the same thing in one mu and three points, many people will come to him.
But the problem is that the person who asks him is either a death row prisoner who cannot get involved, or it is the current situation of this young master.
The position and power are both awkward, so he is able to position himself well.
Taking a deep breath, he wiped his sweat with a handkerchief in his chubby hand:
"Third Young Master, you are joking, these things are what I should do."
“.”
walked all the way, when it was about to arrive at the black dragon carriage.
The Prison Officer Kou suddenly stepped forward and saluted the black dragon carriage:
"Master Xiangguo, the third son has come out."
“.”
Xu Yuan was taken aback when he saw this.
Isn’t it a bit too grand for this old man to greet him personally when he is released from prison?
No wonder the fat man wanted to deliver it himself.
While the fat man was saluting, Xu Mengxi stood silently aside, she was unwilling to salute a thief.
After a while, a calm middle-aged male voice came from the carriage:
"Wang Sikou, thank you very much this time."
The prison chief still lowered his head, with a flattering smile in his voice:
"Why does Xu Gong need to say thank you, these are what villains should do."
After the words fell, the alley was silent.
For a while,
"I haven't got in the car yet, do I want to invite you for my father?"
“.”
Xu Yuan glanced sideways at the two people beside him, and after nodding, he stepped into the carriage.
The space inside the carriage was still so large, only a middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples was sitting quietly cross-legged on the soft couch.
Xu Yuan saluted:
"Father, why are you here?"
Xu Yinhe closed his eyes, but said straight to the point:
"The emperor is looking for you, I will take you there."
“.”
Hearing this, Xu Yuan's thoughts instantly became active, and he asked softly:
"Is it because of Prince Tarchao?"
Xu Yinhe slowly opened his eyes and shook his head:
"He came to you about your marriage with Marquis Wucheng."
