Chapter 21 Heavenly Prison
"Heaven, heaven... prison?" Ai Ming was really shocked.
The Tianzhu is the Ministry of Justice. As the name suggests, the people in it are all the most important prisoners in the Tufang Empire, and most people can't come. Once the prisoner is in the Tianzhu, it's easy to see someone coming out alive. What are these four people bringing them here for? Do you have to imprison yourself in the Tianzhu? It's not like that, your official position is not big, but you are always an official. Although it is impossible for the Three Pavilions to be tried, you should always hand it over to the Shenchao Department for prosecution first, and then call the Ministry of Justice to be tried. Come here.
Thinking of this, Ai Ming couldn't help but hold Yan Chixia back and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Yan, why are we here for? It's so scary."
"Let me find a housekeeper for you." Yan Chixia stretched out his arms a few times, and saw that he could not pull out the sleeve that was caught by Ai Ming, so he had to stop talking.
"Butler?" Ai Ming became more and more confused as he heard it. He didn't want to find a butler. Besides, he didn't have to find a butler even if he didn't have to go to the heavenly prison.
"I'll know later, why are you in a hurry?" Yan Chixia turned his head and smiled at Ai Ming. Under the dim light of the torch, it looked so gloomy and terrifying.
Ai Ming had a clever cold war and felt bad in his heart, but he had no choice but to let go of Yan Chixia and follow Yan Chixia in fear.
Finally, I walked to the vast space. It was much brighter. There were two rows of prison cells in front of me. What was strange was that it was quiet inside. Ai Ming walked up to me and found that there was no one inside. He couldn't help but clash in his heart. To be honest, he had never been to such a place before. In the real world, he had never even been to the police station, let alone here.
At this time, Old Liu, who was walking in front, turned around and said respectfully to Feng Xiaoyu: "Hiss Feng, what cell do you want to see?"
Feng Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "No. 3."
Old Liu bowed his head and thought it was true, and walked forward again.
Ai Ming looked at Lao Liu and remembered that Lao Liu was the head of the Tianzhuo. He also blamed himself for his clumsy eyes. Seeing Lao Liu wearing red clothes, he couldn't remember. In addition to women, the Tianzhuo family was the Tianzhuo family, and there was no other part-collection. Because of this, someone nicknamed the Tianzhuo's head "Red Yanluo", which means that when he entered the Tianzhuo, he saw the prison head in red clothes, it was almost the same as when he saw the Prince of Hell. When he saw Lao Liu, he should have thought that this was the Tianzhuo.
Old Liu led everyone through a few doors and came to a cell. It seemed that there was a cell No. 3 here.
"Feng Daxia, here is the No. 3 cell. All the officials who are imprisoned in it are officials who commit crimes because of embezzlement and bribery. If you see which one is suitable, just say to the old man." There are three types of cells in this Tianzhuo, namely Tianzi No. 1, Dizi No. 2 and Henry No. 3. Tianzi No. 1 is used to detain members of the royal family; Dizi No. 2 is used to detain ordinary officials who are in charge; Henry No. 3 is used to detain ordinary officials who come in due to economic problems. Henry No. 3 is the cell with the largest number of people in all cells.
Feng Xiaoyu said oh, and said to Ai Ming who was walking over: "Brother, take a look first, if you have the right one, tell me."
Ai Ming nodded. When he came here, Ai Ming naturally understood. The prisoners here came in because of embezzlement and bribery, and he didn't understand these things at the moment. If these people could help, the problem would be solved. Thinking of this, Ai Ming couldn't help but feel overjoyed and was even more grateful to Feng Xiaoyu and others. Although he didn't know how Feng Xiaoyu opened the joints and how he could take the prisoners out, he thought there must be a way and didn't have to worry about it.
Looking at the cells on both sides, I drank it. It was crowded here. Some cells actually contained two or three people, which were strange and fat and thin. Hey, besides the humans there were also people from other races.
Let’s not talk about the evil spirits. Their foundation is a good thief, so it is normal to be locked up here. But there are also elves who are locked up, which is amazing because in Ai Ming’s view, the elves are the purest and kindest in the world. Unexpectedly, there are elves who embezzle bribes, which is surprising.
When these prisoners saw Ai Ming and his group, they all looked fearful on their faces. They all hid in the corner of the cell. It seemed that there was a hole on the ground that they wanted, so they wanted to get in.
Old Liu stepped forward and said to the cell: "It's okay, it's okay. These people are here to find the butler. Don't worry, it depends on your luck."
As soon as Lao Liu finished speaking, the prisoner who had just been slutty and tediously exploded, rushing from the bottom to the front, shouting, "Master, I'm the most obedient, please ask me..." "Sir, I'm wronged, I'm willing to do anything..." and so on, and for a while, the entire cell was similar to the vegetable market.
Ai Ming was just a little surprised, but he didn't think anything else. He just thought it was because he was a death here sooner or later. The prisoners were rushing to go out when they heard that they could go out. In fact, he didn't know that the difference in the reactions between these prisoners was so big that it had a lot to do with Feng Xiaoyu and others.
When these people were officials outside, they knew that if they were admitted to the Heavenly Prison, it would mean that they would be over in their lives. Even if one or two could go out again, it was rare compared to those who were locked up in it. And I also heard that people who stayed in the Heavenly Prison would die suddenly. I used to think that it was because the environment in the Heavenly Prison was not good, and the people who entered were in poor health, so this happened. When I came in, I realized that it was not the case at all.
Although I can't eat delicacies in Tianzhu, I can't get much food in terms of food. The living environment is good, and at least there will be no dirty or messy phenomenon. The most terrible thing is that at some point, there will always be some inspections, and I have to pick one or two prisoners inside like I'm picking animals. These prisoners have evaporated from now on. At this time, the prisoners don't know what's going on.
The speculations of prisoners are not far from the facts. A large part of the prisoners who were picked were indeed tragic. Only a few lucky people could escape, but they were not much better. The reason is that these prisoners who were picked were used by some unscrupulous privileged people to satisfy their special hobbies or to perform live experiments.
Now the prisoners are so active in asking Ai Ming to pick them away because they hear that these people are here to pick the butler. Those privileged people who come to pick people rarely tell the prisoners what they are doing here. They always take one out and take it away, and will not tell the reason. Anyway, they are dead here, so it is better to have a big boom. It is better to live a life than to die. It sounds like the butler's job is good.
Ai Ming was a little at a loss because of the noise of the prisoners, so he had to turn around and look at Lao Liu. Lao Liu understood it, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Whatever you make a noise, you've stood up." The prisoners then calmed down.
Then Lao Liu said to Ai Ming: "Sir Ai, let the little old man lead you. Just say it to the little old man if you see someone suitable."
Ai Ming nodded, and walked first, Lao Liu followed behind and walked forward. The prisoners looked at them with eager eyes, giving Ai Ming a kind of magical power in his hand, and I felt like I had in the world.
"This is the former magistrate of Nanyang County, Huo Yinxi, and a Jinshi of Rengui, and he embezzled 300,000 taels of silver." Old Liu saw Ai Ming stopping, so he pointed to a smiling fat man in the cell and said.
The reason why Ai Ming has gained a foothold is because the fat man in front of him is too fat, as he is five of him, which makes Ai Ming curious. He heard this and thought to himself that if he wants this fat man to be my housekeeper, he will make me poor even if he eats it, so he shook his head and walked away again.
"This is Qian Qingyuan, the governor of the former Riren Prefecture, who was the second best in Guihai year. Because he was implicated by Ji Yanghou, he was dismissed from his post and investigated, and embezzled 560,000 taels of silver."
The unlucky governor in front of Ai Ming was handsome and looked extraordinary, standing there majestic. Although he had something to ask for, he was still polite and neither humble nor arrogant. The problem was that Ai Ming was looking for a housekeeper, so such a talent was naturally not suitable. Besides, this guy was too handsome, Ai Ming shook his head and walked by.
"This is the former Fengtian Pavilion Book Ceremony Officer..."
"This is the governor of the former Zhizhe County..."
Ai Ming was shocked. The people who were locked in Tianzhuo had different names, and some of them had never even heard of them. The same characteristic is that they all served as officials. Unfortunately, Ai Ming still has not seen any suitable housekeeper.
"This is Wu Jie, the former deacon of the Ning Chengdu Military Preparatory Treasury, who embezzled 30,000 taels of silver..."
Hey, there is a colleague. Ai Ming stopped and looked at the colleague in front of him carefully. This colleague was thin, moderate in appearance, with a straight hand, and honest standing there, making Ai Ming more and more pleasing to him.
Old Liu's mouth was already dry. Seeing Ai Ming looking at Wu Jie with interest, he immediately became very shocked and said in high spirits: "This Master Wu was implicated by his boss, Admiral Feng Kun, the Military Prefecture Office. He had nothing to do, but because he had been in the position of deacon of the Treasury for more than fifty years, he only embezzled 30,000 taels of silver, which was really suspicious, so he was locked up."
Isn't it? He was suspected because he only embezzled 30,000 taels of silver, so he was locked up? Is it so outrageous? Ai Ming looked at Wu Jie carefully, and it was such an unlucky boy. But he still wanted to have such a talent, so he embezzled 30,000 taels, which was too little. Thinking of this, Ai Ming was about to leave.
"Sir, wait..." Wu Jie couldn't help but say when he saw Ai Ming leaving. Ai Ming turned around and looked at Wu Jie, but didn't say anything, and stood still.
"Sir, I saw that the adult looks extraordinary and fell in love with him at first sight. I hope he can accept this small gift with a smile." Wu Jie hesitated for a moment, took out a note from his hair bun, and handed it out through the iron fence.
What, Ai Ming reached out to take it and opened it. Oh, 50,000 taels of silver bills? He looked up at Wu Jie, then looked down at the silver bills. Didn’t this Wu Jie only embezzled 30,000 taels of silver bills? How could he take action be 50,000 taels? Haha, interesting.
Old Liu's eyes turned red when he looked at him. Although he didn't know how much silver bill Ai Ming was holding, it looked at least a thousand taels in size. He secretly regretted that he hadn't searched this Wu Jie completely before? Who would have thought that this guy would have so much silver on him? He made up his mind that after Ai Ming and others left, he must search the prisoner's body. This was extremely wise. He made a fortune in this search.
"It's him." Ai's famous general put silver notes into his arms and said to Lao Liu indifferently.
Old Liu nodded, took out the key and released Wu Jie. What made Ai Ming amazed was that Wu Jie was calm and unexcited during the release.
After Wu Jie came out, Ai Ming looked at Wu Jie for a moment and nodded with satisfaction. The talent, whose appearance is ordinary, his eyes are firm, and his honor and disgrace are exactly the talents he needs.
"Let's go." Ai Ming went first, Wu Jie followed behind, Lao Liu walked at the end, left cell No. 3 and went straight to the reception room. Feng Xiaoyu and others were impatient when Ai Ming picked people, so they had already returned to the reception room of the prison to wait.
"What, Brother Ai, have you chosen a good person? Is it him?" Feng Xiaoyu, who was walking in the guest room, saw Ai Ming coming in, and there was a prisoner behind him, so he couldn't wait to ask.
Ai Ming nodded and turned around to introduce Wu Jie: "This is Wu Jie."
Wu Jie bowed behind and said, "Please greet you all."
"Okay, okay, Mr. Liu, you go out first." Feng Xiaoyu said to Mr. Liu.
Old Liu knew that he had nothing to do here, so he bowed and took the door with him. After Old Liu left, Feng Xiaoyu turned his head and said to Wu Jie, "You are Wu Jie, right?" Wu Jie nodded. "You already know the general situation. This Lord Ai is a deacon in the Shenjiying Law Hall. He needs a housekeeper to help him take care of some of the things inside. Are you willing?"
Xiao's Wu Jie had the ability to remain calm. When he heard that Ai Ming was working as a deacon in the Shenjiying Law Hall, his face changed. Of course, he knew how thick this position was. He forced himself to look at the ecstatic mood in his heart and nodded.
"Okay, I'll take a look." Fairy Xue Lan said beside her.
Wu Jie hesitated for a moment, wondering if it was about him, but he looked up and saw that everyone was staring at him, so he had to open his mouth slightly.
It was a quick time to say it. Before Wu Jie could react, Fairy Xue Lan waved her hand and flew out of her hand, and flew straight into Wu Jie's mouth. Ai Ming's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the thing was dark yellow and looked like a small insect. Wu Jie's mouth was not big, but the bug with a big fist actually crawled in, which made Ai Ming feel strange.
Wu Jie saw that the thing was thrown into his mouth, and he didn't react at all. He was still opening his mouth wide. He felt that the thing had no feeling at all after it entered his mouth, and he didn't know where he went.
Fairy Xue Lan smiled and said to Ai Ming: "I'm afraid he will be disobedient after going out, so I gave him a heart-wrenching Gu."
Before Ai Ming could answer, Wu Jie said tremblingly: "Hin-Heart Gu?"
