The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 256

Although he is not a civil servant and cannot directly take over this matter, he has soldiers in his hands. At least for now, those who want to offend him must think clearly about the consequences. possible.

However, until the end when there was really no other way, Changsun Ji was still unwilling to use force to solve the matter. Before leaving, he was not willing to make any further complications, but just because he didn't want to, didn't mean he couldn't.

Changsun Ji tidied up and packed his clothes, then left the Sheriff's Mansion, got into a carriage, and drove towards the cell in the city.

This year is the first day after the New Year's Eve, and there is a folk custom in Yan State. On this day, the people have to get up early to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in their relatives.Although Yangping is a county town, many people in the city are related to each other by blood, and there are also many villages in the city.

There are also a lot of elders who walk back and forth to visit these people, and some people need to spend a whole morning just to pay New Year's greetings.So now Changsun Ji is sitting on the horse, looking out through the curtains, and all he sees are people rushing to pay New Year's greetings.

Some people see people they know or older elders on the street, they will bow their hands in the street and say New Year greetings: "Wan Fu An Kang."

This scene reminded Changsun Ji involuntarily of his previous life. In this life, because he lived in the capital since he was a child, their grandson's family didn't have any elders in the capital, so he didn't need to visit on this day before.

But it was different in his previous life. In his previous life, he lived in a village in the city, and the neighbors were all elders of the same clan. At that time, his parents would take him to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. .

Then he thought of what his parents had done to him, and his heart trembled uncontrollably when he thought of this.In fact, until now, he still doesn't understand whether his parents have more expectations for their children to become a dragon, or whether they have more selfishness to become famous.

Changsun Ji shook his head, to get rid of these distracting thoughts, and then told the groom: "Speed ​​up."

The groom agreed, waved his hand and slapped the horse's buttocks, and the carriage moved forward a little faster.In fact, it is to speed up, the speed of the carriage is not very fast, after all, it is still in a busy city, full of people everywhere, there is no way to increase the speed too fast.

As if aware of the change in Changsun Ji's mood, Wang Gang, who was waiting on the sidelines, looked at Changsun Ji, then reached out and put down the hanging curtains.

"It's cold, let's put down the curtains, lest the young master feel uncomfortable."

Changsun Ji didn't answer, just nodded.

The carriage passed through the busy city while driving, and then under the waving of the groom's whip, the carriage quickly arrived at the prison in the city.

Wang Gang stepped out of the carriage first, and then helped Changsun Ji out of the carriage.

Changsun Ji got out of the carriage and looked up, only to see two stone Xiezhi standing on both sides, with more than ten steps in the middle, and a front hall with more than ten square meters on the top, and on the right side of the front hall is another. A half-person-high big drum stands on a half-person-high wooden stand with two drumsticks next to it.

Behind the front hall is a main hall with red tiles and blue bricks. Changsun Ji knew that this was the official office of Yangping, and Yangping's prison was behind the official office.

"My lord, I'll go forward to report." Wang Gang said something to Changsun Ji, and then he was about to go forward.

"No need, let's go through the back door." Changsun Ji said to Wang Gang.

Naturally, the cells in Yangcheng can't be entered only through the main hall of the government office. Compared with this road, the road at the back door of the cell can actually be called the main door.

Because apart from the fact that the front door is not as tall as this side, people who go to the prison usually go through the back door, which is convenient and concealed.

As for the main gate, people only leave when the officials from the capital come in to announce the decree or when other officials come to inspect. Usually, no one will be seen for ten days and a half months.

"Young master, but this has nothing to do with your identity..."

"Nothing, lead the way ahead." Changsun Ji said.

"Yes." Seeing that Changsun Ji insisted, Wang Gang didn't say much, and went to the front to lead Changsun Ji.

The two walked forward together, turned two corners, and walked into an alley. At the end of the alley, there was a wooden door less than one meter long and two meters wide. The word "prison" was engraved on the door. Two guards in prison uniforms were walking back and forth at the door.

The jailer saw the elder and Sun Ji walking in, one of them took a step forward and asked them, "Who is coming, the cell is heavy, no one else can come near it."

"Blind you, you dare to stop General Changsun." Hearing the jailer's obstruction, Wang Gang took a step forward and shouted at him.

When the two jailers heard that the man in front of them was the general, they quickly bowed and bowed their hands in salute.After that, he straightened up and looked at Changsun Ji, and saw that although Changsun Ji was young, he did have an aura.

They already believed what Wang Gang said, but they were not sure.

"General, please don't embarrass the younger one, can you let the younger one see your general's badge." One of the two guards, who was slightly older, cupped his hands at Changsun Ji.

"I was in a hurry to go out today. I didn't bring the general badge."

"Here, General, there is no way to prove your identity, so we dare not let you in." The jailer said with a bitter face, and as he spoke, he bowed his hands and saluted for fear that Changsun Ji would embarrass him.

"It's true that I didn't bring the general token, but I won't make it difficult for you. You go and get your Yanwei, and he can prove my identity." Changsun Ji said lightly.

"Lord Yanwei was killed after the Liang army entered the city." Although Changsun Ji's voice sounded very peaceful, the jailer looked like he was about to cry, even his voice was trembling, and at the same time, he bent over lower.

Changsun Ji frowned lightly, being stopped by the jailer from the cell made him a little uncomfortable, but he didn't bother to argue with the jailer, and now the delay made him feel a little bad, but seeing It's not easy for him to get angry with the jailer like this.

"Now, whoever is in charge in your cell, you go and call him out." Changsun Ji controlled his mood to make his voice more peaceful.

"Hey, okay, I'll go right away." The jailer nodded, then turned and entered the cell, leaving the young guard here to accompany Changsun Ji.

Changsun Ji waited for a while.The cell door opened from the inside, and the jailer who walked in before came out with a middle-aged man.

The jailer introduced to the middle-aged man: "General, this is our prison head."
