The smell was strange, Chen Lang frowned and climbed down step by step. The thin prison guard followed Chen Lang with an unnatural smile on his face.

The stairs were relatively short and arrived at the ground quickly. The light coming from the door had become very weak. Chen Lang looked up and saw a suffocating passage in front. Both sides of the passage were wooden cages of varying sizes, and there would be large blocks of light per distance.

The sun is gone for many years, and the air is filled with a disgusting smell, such as blood, rotten, sweat odor, urine odor, etc., which is disgusting and terrifying.

“Geeh~”

Suddenly, a gloomy smile came from the depths of the cell, as if demonstrating to Chen Lang who had just come in.

Chen Lang's back trembled. If he hadn't been looking for the old beggar who knew how to trap the dragon, Chen Lang wouldn't have stayed in this turbid air for a minute or a second more.

“Geeh~”

“Geeh~”

After the man led the lead and made a strange laugh, many prisoners immediately opened their voices to imitate his tone. In an instant, strange laughter echoed in the dim cell.

"Bang!"

The prison guard took off his long whip from the wall and threw it hard towards the wooden fence. The cold voice suppressed the strange laughter that was so silenced that the prison cell became quiet in an instant. The originally noisy prisoners were all like eggplants beaten by frost - wilted.

"There are all insignificant monsters and monsters. They are in charge of the prison cell. As long as they are ruthless, they will be able to control them." The prison guard wrapped the long whip in his hand and explained it in accustomed to it.

"The same is true for other cells." Chen Lang looked around and muttered casually.

"Yes, it's almost the same." The jailer lowered his voice and then hinted at Chen Lang, "If there are some unsatisfactory places, please take care of them. Lord Teng gave me instructions and there will be a small gift."

Haha ~

Chen Lang giggled in his heart. If you don’t have any Beijing investigation, you can just go through the motions and make some extra money. This is the case on the prison. I believe Teng Qing has expressed the same meaning as King Jing now.

The prison guard looked at Chen Lang from the corner of his eyes and found that Chen Lang had no reaction. He couldn't help but mutter privately: The key content of Beijing inspection has nothing to do with the prison cell, why should he stare at me?

At the same time, Chen Lang was also making a small plan. If he spoke directly to the prisoner and wanted to find an old man who wanted to drink, the prisoner might release him directly, just as a small gift to Chen Lang.

However, this seems too deliberate and if it is not done properly, it will arouse the alertness of Emperor Xu or senior officials in the court.

After all, Chen Lang imagined that he would quietly break the trap of dragon trapping while avoiding the sensation of the snake...

"Today, 136 criminals were imprisoned in the cell, including 25 female criminals." The jailer whispered. He was afraid that Chen Lang would deliberately find fault, so he first reported a number to show that he was familiar with the business.

Hearing this, Chen Lang suddenly had a plan, and he asked slowly: "A total of twenty-five female prisoners, is it safe to lock them up here? Is it convenient?"

Uh ~

The prison guard's scalp was numb, and he felt that Chen Lang was coming to find fault today. While thinking about what gift to give, he answered perfunctorily:

"Female prisoners are usually divided into two categories. Those with special identities are concentrated in women's special cells, such as Yongxiang. Those with ordinary identities are mixed with male prisoners, and they are similar in different jail cells, so there is no consideration of safety and convenience."

"Well~" Chen Lang nodded thoughtfully, "I won't talk about convenience, the key is safety. Are there any elderly prisoners in your prison? If you are too old to die in the sudden death penalty, it will be bad."

In the sudden death prison?

The jailer was panicked when he heard this. Although he didn't know Chen Lang's identity, he was obviously a master who could not afford to offend. In the panic, the jailer said anxiously: "There is no old prisoner. I clearly remember that the oldest criminal in the cell today, who was blackmailed and cheated, and he could be released from prison after being imprisoned for another two months."

Haha ~

The more Chen Lang listened, the more he became more and more accustomed. Pretending to have a stern face, Chen Lang said slowly: "Is that true? Take me to see it."

The jailer hurriedly went forward to lead the way and walked to a corner. The jailer pointed to the prisoner lying on his side: "It's there."

Chen Lang looked closely and saw a man sleeping heavily towards the wall. This was a relatively small cage with a lot of messy straw on the floor, and a smell of mold spread in the air.

"Open the door!" Chen Lang said two words coldly.

"Okay." The jailer quickly picked up the key on his waist and opened the prison door.

Chen Lang couldn't help pinching his nose, and then walked towards the prisoner who was facing his back. Since he couldn't see his face, he couldn't tell whether the prisoner was the person Chen Lang was looking for.

But at this moment, Chen Lang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He had a premonition that the drunken beggar he had been searching for for many days was already far away and near in front of him.

arrive.

Chen Lang stood behind the prisoner while stepping on the straw on the floor. He opened his mouth and Chen Lang wanted to shout, but the sound in his throat suddenly got stuck because Chen Lang couldn't figure out how to call him to be appropriate.

Old beggar?

Drunk maniac?

senior?

Chen Lang shook his head. Now he didn't even understand who the other party was. No matter what he shouted, it felt abrupt. He was hesitating, and the person who was sleeping in front of him turned his body lazily, and opened his eyes and muttered: "Wine, wine!"

This man's hair is scattered and his face is dirty, but Chen Lang still recognized it at a glance, the old beggar! He was the drunken old beggar who had seen through the trapped dragon bureau in front of the prince's mansion!

Chen Lang was ecstatic, and he couldn't help but squat down and whisper: "Old beggar, I didn't expect you to be here."

Um?

The half-sleeping old beggar was startled and recognized Chen Lang. After he rolled his eyes angrily: "Bao, the tiger falls into the Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, and the dragon walks in the shallows and is caught in the shrimp show. What are you doing here?"

Chen Lang lowered his voice and said, "Senior, don't worry, I will take you out of this ghost place soon."

The old beggar sat up half of his body: "Hmph, you are the same as Ling Yin. You little liar, don't think I don't remember. You just lied to me some time ago and tricked me into taking a pill that was bitterer than any food."

Lie to you?

It was obviously you who swallowed it without saying anything! Chen Lang cursed in his heart, but he still smiled on the surface: "Senior, do you want to drink now? You'll invite you to the restaurant to have a feast."

After saying that, Chen Lang walked towards the prison guard and said with a gloomy face: "I see that the old man is mentally weak and his body is almost exhausted. If he is locked up again, he may die suddenly."

this……

The jailer quickly bowed with both hands: "Waiting for me to ask Lord Teng."

Chen Lang pursed his lips and smiled: "Can't let him go? If I don't let him go, I will ask Lord Teng in person."

"Wait!" the prison guard blurted out, "Since the prisoner in prison is seriously ill, let him go."

Teng Qing had previously told the prisoner to act according to the situation. And releasing this crazy old man should be considered acting according to the situation. After all, for the Nancheng Yamen, the old man is not important at all. Moreover, he only has two months left in prison, so just let him go.
