Xu Hui had already imagined all the possible problems before. When the jailer asked this question, he didn't panic at all. He just smiled and said:

"Isn't it? In fact, I don't know. The commander didn't say which cell it was, but I thought that the prisoners in the sky prison would not let me escort them alone, and the prisoners in the ordinary cells were not qualified for the commander to personally interrogate them, so I came here directly. It’s over.”

The jailer looked him up and down and snorted: "You are quite smart, your mind works very fast."

"It's just a little cleverness. You've given me the reward." Xu Hui said with a smile, "To put it bluntly, what we do is to run errands for the master. Don't the masters always say half and half? The rest is up to us to guess."

"Hahaha, that's true." The jailer was amused by him and laughed, "If you don't know how to behave like us, you can't get along at all."

"Yes, yes." Xu Huishen nodded sympathetically, "So, is he here?"

"No." The jailer stopped laughing and shook his head, "You didn't guess the master's thoughts this time. You'd better ask elsewhere!"

Xu Hui couldn't help being surprised.

If the person is not here, he can't be in the prison, right?

Tianlao is specially designed to detain officials of third grade or above. Yun Qi is just a doctor. There is no reason for Feng Guanlan to give him official-level treatment, right?

"Thank you. Since I'm not here, I'll go and ask elsewhere." He was afraid that he would be exposed if he stayed too long, so he took back the token and left.

Although he didn't find anyone, it at least proved that the token passed the test, which made him a little more courageous.

The sky prison is better built than the dungeon. It is very clean inside and has plenty of sunlight. To put it bluntly, it is a place where officials are placed under house arrest. Apart from restricting personal freedom, no one will suffer too much.

But if you continue to refuse to cooperate and tell them what they want, you may be beaten to death or crippled.

Xu returned to the prison, handed the token to the jailer, and repeated what he had just said.

When the jailer heard that he was looking for Yun Qi, his expression changed slightly.

"Commander said that this prisoner named Yun Qi is very special and can only be used as a last resort. So, is there anything that Commander has to do now?"

Xu Hui didn't expect that Yun Qi was really imprisoned in the prison.

If you can live in Tianlao, as long as you stay honest and don't make any noise, your daily life will at least be guaranteed, and you may even be able to eat better than outside.

It seemed that Feng Guanlan just wanted to use him to blackmail His Majesty, and had no intention of embarrassing him.

"Did the commander say that? I didn't hear him mention it." Xu Hui responded calmly, "I only had a brief meeting with the commander yesterday. He was busy with government affairs and didn't say much to me. He only gave me My token, let me take people there today.”

The jailer was very cautious and did not fully believe this explanation.

Xu looked back at his face, and then said: "It may be because there are always courtiers coming and going in Huaying Palace. There are some things that it is inconvenient for the commander to explain to me in detail. It is still early in the day. If you are worried, I will go in again." Let’s go to the palace to ask for instructions and see what the commander has to say.”

"Forget it, forget it." Another jailer said, "It will take a few hours to go back and forth. If something goes wrong, it will be hard for everyone if the commander blames us. Anyway, we have the commander's token, and we are also our brothers. What can happen to the people of Yuwei?"

"But the commander himself said that the prisoner is special." The previous one was still a little worried, "Is there anything the commander has to do now?"

The companion was very impatient: "The commander is in the palace. If he has something to do as a last resort, he won't tell you specifically. Just have the token. Why do you have to go to the wrong place on a hot day?"

"Well, since you said so, it's our responsibility if something goes wrong."

The previous one no longer persisted, took the key and said to Xu Hui: "Come with me!"

Xu Hui hesitated for a moment and said, "Can't I just wait outside?"

"Of course not. You still have to identify the prisoner and get a visa stamped before we can release him."

"Okay, let's go!" Xu Hui nodded and followed him inside, paying attention to the layout of the cell as he walked.

Because all high-ranking officials are imprisoned, most of the sky prisons are single-person cells. Each of the small rooms reminds Xu of the pigeon room in their Tianjimen. Through a small window on the door, he can see a picture inside. A numb face.

Xu Hui was very familiar with this expression of hopelessness, but he didn't recognize any of the people inside.

He didn't even know Yun Qi, but he had heard Chu Zhao describe him before coming here, saying that Yun Qi was a thin, fair, and smart young man.

Finally, two jailors stopped outside the door of a cell. One of them stood ready. One of them found the key engraved with the cell number from a large set of keys and inserted it into the keyhole.

Xu Hui glanced through the small window on the door and saw nothing.

When the door opened, I saw a young man lying on the bed looking at the ceiling in trance. He was very white, but not thin at all, not smart, and even a little dull.

"Yun Qi!" the jailer called from the door. The young man lay there motionless.

"Look, that's Yun Qi." The jailer said to Xu Hui.

Xu Hui looked inside, and the two of them suddenly took action at the same time, pushing him hard from behind and trying to push him into the room: "You little thief, how dare you deceive us with a fake token!"

Xu Hui reacted very quickly, turned back, and then the Xiuchun knife was unsheathed. A cold light flashed, and their necks were cut open.

He quickly retreated into the door to avoid the spray of blood mist. The two jailers didn't even make a sound before falling to the ground with wide eyes.

"Who are you? Are you sent by my ancestors to save me?" Yun Qi, who had just been lying on the bed in a daze, jumped up and rushed over.

"Yes." Xu Hui held the bleeding knife and looked back at him, "But unfortunately, I can't take you away today."

"Why?" Yun Qi asked.

Xu Hui said: "These two people recognized my fake token. I'm not sure if the people in the dungeon just recognized it. If they are waiting for me outside, neither of us can escape."

"Can you run away alone?" Yun Qi asked.

Xu Hui shook his head: "At least there is a higher chance of one person running away."

Yun Qi was very disappointed: "What about me? What should I do?"

Xu Hui said: "You just need to be the same as before. They won't kill you anyway."

"Okay, then will you come again?" Yun Qi said, "What if they change my place, can you still find me?"

"Yes, as long as you are alive, I can find you." Xu Hui said.

Yun Qi wanted to say something else, but suddenly someone poked his head out of the small window on the door of the cell opposite and said in a very small, ghostly voice: "I can help you escape, but you have to take me with you. escape."
