The first work of the imperial prison

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, there was heavy snowfall.

The emperor brought all the officials to sacrifice to the mausoleum, and the team was mighty.The heavy snow couldn't stop the actions of the Tian family, nor could it stop the enthusiasm of the people. Everyone lined up and kept the rules, standing behind the line drawn by the government, holding the snowflakes, and looking forward to the emperor's guard of honor.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—"

"Did you see it? The emperor looks so young, so easy-going, and he smiled and nodded at us!"

"And the sedan chair with the agate beaded curtain, it belongs to the Grand Concubine, right? The Grand Concubine is really young..."

"Am I the only one who saw the Commander! Look quickly, is the one riding beside the emperor the Commander! Those brows, those waists, those long legs—wow, the silver armored spear, he's so handsome!"

"I recognized it too! The commander rescued my baby that day! My baby is young and ignorant, and the commander obviously can't hold it, but he carried it very steadily. My baby didn't cry, and told me he could fly Already!"

"The commander is a good man at first glance. He doesn't talk much, is capable, and reliable! I don't know which girl will marry him in the future. Not to mention, in that respect... I will definitely enjoy it!"

Where the emperor's guard of honor passed by, the common people shouted at the age of the mountain, and kowtowed their heads as a salute, and dared not speak too much.

The lively atmosphere seems to be contagious, or there are always some people who have special channels and can always hear things outside.

In the corner of the prison, Zhou Ping nestled in a corner of the cell, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a weird smile.

It's time... just wait and see!

He didn't know that in a corner he couldn't see, Xiang Zi'an was also watching his every move, seeing him smiling, the master's fan opened with a 'swipe' sound, and the smile was like a bright spring breeze and spring flowers blooming.

Stupid and ignorant fool, do you really think you can be considered a master?

Let's see!

After watching the excitement on the street, the emperor's guard of honor is getting farther and farther away, the common people are slowly returning home, and the streets of the capital are becoming more and more empty and quieter.

Shen Jiang stood in front of Beizhen Fusi's gate, patted the snow on his shoulder, turned and came in: "Close the door!"

"Squeak—bang!"

The gate of Beizhen Fusi was closed, the snow was falling on the eaves, and there was no sound.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Ping suddenly opened his eyes in the prison.He coughed twice, and asked the jailer outside in a hoarse, unpleasant voice, "What time is it?"

No one answered, as if no one was there at all.

Generally, this kind of question will not be answered here. Prisoners who care about this question will think about it for themselves and observe it. They don’t need to ask others. If they don’t care, it’s the same day and night. They may have two meals a day, or they may I don't have a single meal, and I live like this every day, so why ask.

But Zhou Ping didn't know, and asked very persistently: "What time is it... I asked, what time, time, time!"

Today he was lucky, someone really answered: "Wei Shi."

Xiang Zi'an looked over with a smile: "It's two minutes before the hour."

Zhou Ping grinned: "Weishi...hahaha..."

It's time to get started!

He waited patiently. About a quarter of an hour later, there was a 'boom' outside, as if something had exploded, and the ground shook like thunder.Immediately afterwards, there was a lot of commotion outside, as if the royal guards were arranging troops, walking around with weapons, the atmosphere of the prison was obviously dignified, and the jailers all ran to the gate to observe the outside.

The corners of Zhou Ping's lips curved strangely, he laughed twice, and began to whistle.

The melody is very simple, it can't even be called a melody, it's just a single regular repetition... This is a special code, and only special people understand it.

He whistled over and over again, his expression became more and more relaxed, and his mood became more and more cheerful. Even though the whistle was too long and burdened his already dry and sore throat, he didn't stop. Thirteen times.

The whistle started and stopped, without causing any waves, as if some prisoner in the prison was bored, playing tricks to entertain himself, so don't care.

Two quarters of an hour later, there was movement in the depths of the imperial prison. It wasn't someone who came out and tried to take the opportunity to open the gate. This person's footsteps were very light, and they were getting lighter. He was walking deeper... around the corner, Walking into an empty cell, I reached out and groped for the corner of the wall, slowly, slowly, to the right and down.

Blow away the covering straw, there is a very small hole that only allows one person to pass through... It is a secret passage.

The man grinned, smiling silently. Just as he jumped off, the surroundings suddenly burst into flames. In the distance, Ye Baiting walked in with someone.

Ye Baiting's eyebrows were clear and bright, and she was wearing a smoky blue cloak. A beautiful bow was tied on the front of her neck with light blue slender bright satin. Her chin was sunk in the soft and furry fox fur collar without a trace of stray fur. Holding a gold-plated begonia filigree hand stove in his hand, he entered through the gate of the imperial prison against the light. He looked as clean as a pampered young man in a noble family, and he should never have set foot in such a place as imperial prison.

"Wow - woof woof!"

Young Master Jiao not only followed Jin Yiwei, but also stood beside him was the dog general Xuanfeng.

"Thank you for finding someone for us."

Ye Baiting stood at the door of Zhou Ping's cell, with crooked eyes, lying silkworms full of spring, like a bright peach branch stretching out in a cold winter day, pointing to the depths of the prison with his slender fingers: "Go, grab him."

"Yes!"

Jin Yiwei responded, and aggressively went to the depths of the cell.

"Wow!" Gouzi also rushed over.

Zhou Ping was stunned, looking at the bright lights in the depths of the cell, at the smiling person in front of him, his teeth were chattering involuntarily, and his back was sweating profusely, how could it be possible?No...they couldn't possibly know!Just to scare him, yes, they've been scaring him!

Ye Baiting caressed the stove in a slow manner: "Do you think that you are being imprisoned here to humiliate you? You can't even imagine what a real insult looks like."

Following his movements, the jailer moved a chair behind him and placed it at the door of the cell.

Ye Baiting lifted his robe and sat down, looking at Zhou Ping: "Now, can we have a good chat?"

Zhou Ping looked at him, as if he saw some incredible devil: "You... No, it's impossible! You can't know!"

"It's all like this, still don't believe it?" Ye Baiting leaned forward slightly, the corners of his lips curved meaningfully, "Then I will show kindness and tell you one more thing, your accomplice—has he told you, just do what he said If you do it, everything will be fine. We have no way to obtain evidence for your confession, and we will not guess your ultimate purpose? Just like the person who jumped into the secret passage just now—"

Zhou Ping followed his gaze and looked into the depths of the prison, becoming more and more frightened.

Ye Baiting: "You think we don't know anything, but in fact we know everything. We discovered the secret passage more than a month ago, but it has been vacant and no one is using it. We can only sit on the sidelines and wait for others to tell us. Who is he, but the other party is too patient, if you didn't come—"

Zhou Ping shook.

"We don't know yet."

Zhou Ping: ...

Ye Baiting finished laughing, and changed his voice: "Do you know that everyone has a motive for doing everything, you kill people everywhere, set fires everywhere, it seems that you are doing something extraordinary, and it is very lively everywhere, but the purpose What? You said that the murder was to predict the explosion and arson, but what about the explosion and arson? Your prediction was so cryptic that it failed to achieve the effect at all, and your accomplices were not angry. It can be seen that he is not purely for fame, he has another purpose in mind, what? Such a purpose is more exciting than murder and arson? Naturally, it is a greater danger—"

"Wang Cailian, Fang Qingmei, Yu Hongye, each of them has special skills, and they are very outstanding. They are related to the travel of the nobles on the mausoleum day. Zhang Hetong is directly responsible for the arrangement of the nobles' carriages and horses. If you want to kill people, the target is naturally yours. The choice is also drawn out, but Zhang Hetong is not incidental, he is your real target, right? Are you hiding him on purpose?"

Zhou Ping retorted subconsciously: "No, no, killing him is just a way. He came to look for Yu Hongye and saw it, so I killed..."

"He wanted to find Yu Hongye for matching clothes, but he was dragged into your house in a coma, and he didn't see Yu Hongye being killed," Ye Baiting stopped him directly, "Why don't you invite him over? You need to spend less effort—oh, yes, a useless man like you probably won’t be able to invite officials as guests, so you can only take advantage of his unpreparedness and knock him out first?"

Zhou Ping: ...

Why does he know everything!

"What do Zhang Hetong know? He is in charge of the chariots and horses of the nobles of the Tian family's mausoleum. He will know the specific itinerary of the nobles. I want to guide us, this time the Tian family worships, something will happen to Concubine You, right?"

Ye Baiting looked at Zhou Ping with burning eyes: "Your target is not a woman, the streets of the capital, or the people of the capital, but the heavenly family's ceremony, the nobleman, the emperor?"

Zhou Ping was stunned, the person in front of him was not a young master Jiao at all, he was a monster!Why, why those thoughts... He knows it all!

"It's a pity that blindness is blindness, and what's fake is fake. It's not true," Ye Baiting sighed, "You killed Zhang Hetong, a key figure, and lured us to doubt the direction of the nobleman's safety. What next?"

"If this is your real purpose, you want to harm the emperor and the nobles. If Zhang Hetong doesn't cooperate with you, if you kill him, shouldn't the next step be to arrange your own people in this position? But Gao Kang, our command envoy will He found out that he is not one of your people, and he is very clean around him. It is strange, you have gone around such a big circle, killing people and setting fire, let us 'enlighten' this direction, why there is no follow-up gone?"

"So this is still not your ultimate goal, your goal—"

Ye Baiting raised his toes and stepped on the ground twice: "Here, it's in the Imperial Prison, isn't it?"

Zhou Ping's teeth began to chatter: "No, no...it's not like this..."

Ye Baiting narrowed his eyes: "Wang Cailian and the others are a cover, Zhang Hetong is a cover, Gao Kang who finally took over this job is also a cover, and the thunder, fire, bombs and explosions are all a cover. You step by step, deliberately arrogant, and deliberately hide, at the expense of your life." , just to make us believe in this "major crisis that we have finally guessed", after all, we have thought it out, so we are more convinced, right?"

"But you have missed a key point - you have entered the prison. And you are very cooperative, extremely patient, not even a word of bad luck, too sensible, the prisoners in the prison are not like you, you are not unwilling, come in , was planned long ago, right?"

Zhou Ping met the other party's bright and sharp eyes, but couldn't say a word.

Ye Baiting stared at him: "What you want is for the government to pay enough attention to these matters and strengthen the safety precautions of the emperor's mausoleum. It is best for all the troops to drive out on this day, and the city is empty, so that it is convenient for you to do things, right? All of you The purpose is just that whistle, you colluded with Wacixi to save a person in the prison, right or wrong!"

Zhou Ping broke out in cold sweat on his forehead: "No, it's impossible! You can't know!"

"Why is it impossible? Do you think that little trick of yours really fooled us?" Ye Baiting sneered, "It's not wrong to use Yun's car dealership to spy on the victim's information, but this person is not you, so you dare not do that Regarding the matter, we have already found out that another suspect in this case has an in-law relationship with the wife of the owner of the car dealership. If he goes to the car dealership, he will be called 'Master'. He wants to collect this information , Tracking the victim, isn't it much more convenient than you?"

Zhou Ping: "You all...know..."

Ye Baiting sneered: "It's not something that is particularly difficult to find out. What's so special about it? No matter how hot the car and horse business is, no matter how many people invest behind it, you can always figure it out carefully. When you picked Wang Cailian and Fang Qingmei, your accomplices even There is not much need to hide. When no one is around, you can personally weave opportunities to lie and lure them. Afterwards, the cases were discovered one by one. Jin Yiwei kept a close eye on him. Write love poems, don't you?"

Zhou Ping was terrified: "No, it's impossible...you should have known it a long time ago, why didn't you arrest him?"

"Of course he's still useful," Ye Baiting's lips curled up, "Isn't he the one who knows where thunder bombs are planted in the city? It's so cold and the snow is so cold, and the brothers in Jin Yiwei are not hardened, do they need to rest. "

Zhou Ping gritted his teeth: "You use him... let him... take you to find..."

Ye Baiting clapped his palms: "Finally a smart one, that's right, as long as we keep an eye on him, he can help us find those Thunderbolts that have not been found yet! Since you plan to do big things, you must be more careful, things that have been buried for a long time, Is it really reliable? Take a look, checks are always necessary, right? There are also those secret contacts... No matter how cautious you are at ordinary times, when the planned day comes, can you still stand it? Take him into prison too, these fish How do you fish? Wouldn’t it be easy to take all of you together?”

Zhou Ping's eyes were angry: "Aren't you afraid of accidents? Thunderbolts can explode at any time!"

"What misunderstanding do you have about our Jin Yiwei?" Ye Baiting stood up, walked to the prison door, and looked down at him, "As long as we keep an eye on it, of course nothing will happen."

Zhou Ping: ...

Ye Baiting's eyes were sharp: "Now, don't you want to say something?"

Zhou Ping licked his lips: "You know... so what, there is an explosion outside, and there is a secret passage here..."

"It turned out that it wasn't enough."

Ye Baiting's eyebrows were cold and stern: "People like you are stupid, ignorant, and useless. If you want to kill someone, you just think about it and don't dare to act, right? Maybe he saw you when you were doing something? He praised you first, and then hit you You, all kinds of cunning temptations, persuade you to cooperate with him, right? He helps you lure the victim, helps you kill, you help him hide his traces, and make all the plans go smoothly... Does he always say, you are good? Brother, if there is any difficulty, we can carry it together, and if we have meat, we can eat together?"

"You were tricked by him."

"You came here as part of his plan. No matter whether you succeeded in killing the little girl Wu Rui that night or not, you still have to come in. Only when you come here can you whistle for him and contact the people here. people."

Zhou Ping: "No, you arrested me for coming in, it's not his fault!"

"Yes, we caught you coming in, but if we don't catch you, he will find other ways to send you in, otherwise, he taught you the whistle for nothing? Did he promise you that he would rescue you if he appeared? Accidents are okay. He even taught you how to deal with us. He prepared a statement in advance. He repeatedly emphasized to you that you will only suffer a little when you come in. As long as you hold it, at this point in time today, he will detonate the thunder outside. Bomb, save you, go out with 'the man'—"

Ye Baiting reminded Zhou Ping: "Use your silly brain to think about it carefully. If he didn't have this plan, why did he tell you so much?"

Zhou Ping bit his nails, his expression suddenly became silent.

"Look, I know everything, do you think I will let you succeed?"

Ye Baiting lowered his head and looked into Zhou Ping's eyes: "Come on, tell me everything you know, who is your target in the prison? Who is the whistle for? Does anyone know? The location of the Beijing Thunderbolt , who told you? Say!"

……

"boom--"

Outside the north wall of Beizhen Fusi, a second attack ushered in, and the ground shook deafeningly.

It wasn't thunder and fire bombs, but ordinary soil bombs, which made a lot of noise but were not very powerful. After two bombs, they didn't blow up the wall of Beizhen Fusi.

Just as Ye Baiting said, the capital is empty at this time, and others want to take the opportunity to make trouble, but it has been confirmed in every possible way before that there is no problem. For some reason, the thunder and fire bombs exploded in various parts of the capital without matching the time, causing panic and attracting scattered troops from all over the capital Well, the wave of people attacking outside the wall also felt a little strange, but it was already the time and the signals were sent, so they could only continue.

Shen Jiang is now putting on his armor, leading his men to meet the enemy outside the wall, armed with spears and swords, so don't be afraid!

The commander is not there, the capital is empty, and Beizhen Fusi is not much better. He knows that this is part of the plan. Beizhen Fusi will definitely encounter danger. In order to lure the enemy to go deep, they can't even make too many preparations. Let the other party see that he has been prepared for a long time, and he may suffer a little loss at the beginning of this battle. He didn't expect that when he really faced it, he would suffer a big loss from the weather!

The snow is too heavy, the vision is not clear, Beizhen Fusi does not know how to store dangerous things like artillery shells, not to mention commanders, the emperor will not allow it, who knows that this group of people has prepared earthen artillery!Their crossbowmen couldn't see clearly, so they couldn't shoot, but other people's earthen cannons could be aimed directly at the wall, and there was no need to aim at all!

Shen Jiang slashed at people while swearing at the street. This group of spies had hidden too deeply for too long. Usually there was nothing unusual about it. Some of them were even the sons and grandsons of spies. It's too late to live in Navaja, and there is not enough time, otherwise how can the other party be so arrogant!

"Brothers, let me carry it! There are only so many of them, and it's a great achievement to catch them!"

"Yes!" Jin Yiwei all stood up.

When the people in the capital heard the movement, they also came to the street one after another, looking around to find out what was going on. When they heard that Beizhen Fusi had been attacked?Jin Yiwei followed the commander and escorted him out of the city, is it empty inside?

"Could it be the thing that bombed the street again?"

"But these thieves can't fight anywhere. What are they trying to do to fight Beizhen Fusi? Is there more money than the palace, or more beauties?"

"Hehe, there are not many beauties, but there are many prisoners—I'll go, maybe someone wants to escape from prison!"

"No, never mind, I have to go over and see if I can help!"

Not to mention that the one who escaped from the prison can be a good thing, those who are imprisoned in the prison over there are the ones who have brought disaster to the country and the people, and the heinous ones. Let’s just say that last time I checked for thunder and fire bombs on the street, and a dozen firewood trucks were so dangerous. Jin Yiwei didn’t say anything nonsense, Regardless of whether the elderly and children are male or female, they will be rescued as soon as they are encountered, and nothing will be delayed.

The common people are the most honest, whoever treats them badly, they may not remember very much, and forget after a while, but whoever treats them well, they remember the door clearly, at least this life-saving grace, must be repaid!

Immediately, young and middle-aged men came out to say hello, there was chaos in the capital, the elderly and children all went home, the eldest girl and the young daughter-in-law hid it away, and the children didn't come out after watching it by themselves. They are all ordinary people, they don't know martial arts or weapons, they can't rush there, they can't help, and they have to rely on others' hind legs, it's good to be able to beat and help, don't look down on yourself...

The most important thing is to ensure your own safety!Otherwise, Jin Yiwei is desperately fighting for his life in front, and he has to take care of you in the back. Are you helping or making trouble?If you can't figure it out, don't go there, it's enough to have this heart.

"Fuck! Don't let me get involved..." The broker Jin Shicheng looked at the situation on the street, rolled his eyes, and went out, "I will have to hang out in the capital in the future, so I can't be tricked! "

These four notices, where is there in the capital, where is it convenient to do things, who knows better than him?

"Grass! I thought today would finally be a quiet day!"

Sun Pengyun got up from the bed with his hair frizzed in the office of the Huo Division, and saw the gunpowder smoke floating far outside the window, grabbed the clothes beside the bed, and hurriedly ran out while wearing them: "Brothers, hurry up, take all the guys to work, Follow me to Beizhen Fusi, it's on fire over there!"

"Your grandma, you dare to make trouble on this kind of day!"

Bamboo branch building.

Seeing the commotion on the street, the beautiful woman dropped her teacup: "Beizhen Fusi was attacked? The northern wall? Isn't that...an imperial prison?"

"Isn't that right? I don't know what this thief thinks... Hey, what are you doing, lady boss? You can't go there. The local cannons over there are all used, and you will die!"

The beautiful woman just picked up the apron, flicked it, and tied it to her body: "Cook."

"Huh?" The man didn't understand.

The beautiful woman squinted her eyes, and her beautiful eyes were full of awe-inspiring: "I said, go, cook, eat!"

Isn't the commander of Beizhen Fusi amazing?

Chou, if you take good care of my old lady, she will give up the whole building to celebrate your success, if you don't take good care of her...

This is your meal!
