The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 268 The Cell in the Sheriff's Mansion

"Three days later, read the imperial decree. Tomorrow, someone will notify Changsun Ji to fast for three days, take a bath and change clothes, and prepare to receive the imperial decree. It took so long all the way, and these three days will not be missing." Xing Bo glanced at Eunuch Zhang , I don’t know if the last sentence is an explanation for him.

Regarding Changsun Ji, he has his own ideas and is not subject to anyone's interference.He said to let the eldest grandson Ji fast for three days, in fact, in his heart, this is not respect for the Holy Majesty or the imperial decree, but should be respected for him.

Until now, he felt that if it wasn't for another imperial decree from Huai Nei, Changsun Ji would not be worthy of letting him come here from the capital to proclaim the decree for him.

Hearing what Xing Bo said, Wei Xuan felt complacent on his face. In the confrontation between him and Eunuch Zhang, he felt that he had won a round.

"Since Envoy Xing Zheng said this, let's announce the decree in three days." Eunuch Zhang knew that there was no way to change the matter, so he nodded and agreed without saying much.

"Okay, since that's the case, do the two deputy envoys have anything else to do?" Xing Bo said directly.

"No, our family will leave first." Eunuch Zhang said, then turned and left.

Immediately afterwards, not long after he left, Wei Xuan followed suit.

The next day, the early Changsun Ji received a notice sent by the envoys, asking him to fast for three days.

Changsun Ji didn't care too much about this, what he wanted to do now was to quickly accept the order, and then leave and return to Beijing.So for this envoy group, try to accommodate as much as possible.

Of course, if there is an opportunity to suppress the envoy group, Changsun Ji will not give up.

If there is no chance, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he has made a lot of preparations before. Although the main force of the grain army is almost wiped out, Li Chuang and some of his generals are let him let him go intentionally or unintentionally.

If Xing Bo didn't have any abilities himself, and just thought it was an easy feat, then the fact would teach Changsun Ji a lesson for the group of envoys.

As for the so-called three-day fast.Changsun Ji seldom eats meat on weekdays, and most of them are vegetarian. Now the so-called three-day fast is nothing more than giving up the pungent foods such as onion and ginger that he eats on weekdays. up.

The other is to sleep in the inner room, to think five times, that is, to think in the room where you live, to concentrate and unify your thoughts.

In normal times, Changsun Ji obeyed and obeyed. The big deal is to read books in the room for three days. He is relatively home, and it is not a problem for him not to go out for three days.

However, he still has one thing to do today, so naturally he can't do anything and stay in the inner room.It doesn't bother him, he has been in charge of Yangping for such a long time, and it is not difficult to hide some things from the envoys.

He just stayed in the dormitory for a while, then exchanged clothes with a guard who was about the same size as him, and then left the room very naturally.

As a county town, Yangping naturally does not have only one prison cell, not to mention the county guard's mansion, even some aristocratic families will build a smaller prison cell in their own homes to imprison some disobedient people. Servants, or some people who offended them, rangers.

And what Changsun Ji was going to go to today was a prison cell in the Sheriff's Mansion, which was built under the Sheriff's Mansion.

Because Wang Gang, as Changsun Ji's personal butler, has a relatively high target coefficient, so Changsun Ji did not follow Wang Gang.Anyway, it is only in the Sheriff's Mansion, and it is impossible to encounter any dangerous situations.

After looking for a few guards to accompany him, Changsun Ji got out of the cell, because he had been here more than once before, so he was familiar with the road.

Passing through a wooden corridor, walking down a cobblestone path, going down a few steps, turning a corner, passing by a man-made rockery and a small pond surrounded by stones, finally Changsun Ji came to a yard .

The location of this courtyard is very secluded, and it is located in the southwest corner of the Sheriff's Mansion as a whole. No one comes here on weekdays, even some servants, except for the necessary cleaning every few days, they will not come at other times.

It is too remote here, and some surrounding vegetation is lush, so there is very little sunlight here.There are rumors among some maids and servants that the courtyard is haunted.

Someone heard some voices coming from this yard.And no one has lived in this house for a long time.

Regarding this rumor, Changsun Ji usually just laughed it off.He knew that it wasn't that the person who heard the voice had misheard, but that there was a prison cell built under the courtyard.

And the voices are some dishonest prisoners yelling loudly underground, and some voices are heard on the ground.

Changsun Ji led a few guards into the yard, walked into the room, first glanced around, then walked to the bedroom, and then pried up a floor tile in the center of the bedroom, revealing the dark hole below.

Changsun Ji glanced at the guards behind him, pointed to the two people at the back and said, "You two stay here, and no one is allowed to enter the room until I come out."

"Obey." The two bowed their hands and accepted the order.

Changsun Ji nodded, then lit a torch for lighting, and walked down first.

Although the entrance of the cave can only be seen as a dark mass from the outside, in fact, as long as there is light from the fire, one can clearly see that there are steps extending down the entrance of the cave.

After going down to the bottom of the steps, there is a flat passage, and at the end of the passage there is an iron gate standing there.

Changsun Ji stepped forward, reached out and knocked on the door regularly: "Bang, bang, bang, bang."

But just as the knock on the door fell, a voice came from inside: "Heavenly King Gedihu."

Hearing the password from inside, Changsun Ji opened his mouth and said, "Two orioles singing green willows."

With a "squeak", the iron door was opened from the inside.

Changsun Ji walked in with his personal guards.

This password was naturally customized by him.Generally, the passwords are relatively correct and rhyme, not to mention these, at least the number of words must be the same, but Changsun Ji directly changed the password to a password that is not correct in order to prevent someone from guessing the password.

As soon as Changsun Ji walked through the gate, three or four soldiers stood up from the left and right, bowing their hands to Changsun Ji.

After Changsun Ji and the guards behind him entered the gate, the iron gate was closed again with a "squeak".

Changsun Ji looked at the soldiers who bowed to him, waved them off, and said, "Have those two boys surrendered?"

Among these three or four soldiers, one took a step forward, smiled wryly at Changsun Ji, and said, "General, we have used all the soft and hard ones, but that kid just refuses to agree. As for the other The sun only knows how to roar, but can't communicate at all."
