In the prison of the Criminal Department, there is always the faint sound of dripping water. And this dripping sound has no rules. Just when you think it will appear, it turns quiet. But just when you think it will
When he continues to feel depressed, he becomes silent.
In the rotten and gloomy prison, the sound made people extremely crazy, like a maggot attached to the bone.
What's even more frustrating is that even after searching every corner of the cell, the source of the ticking sound can't be found. It makes people upset and extremely irritable!
However, this ticking sound can only cause disturbance to ordinary prisoners.
For He Ping'an, who is imprisoned in No. 1 C, just drop it, no matter what!
What has he never seen in his life?
The prison of the Ministry of Punishment is like a blank sheet of paper compared to the imperial prison of Jinyiwei Zhenfusi.

The sun shone from the patio and fell on He Pingan's face.
He was sitting cross-legged on the cattail grass, and the blue military uniform he wore looked a little wrinkled.
But his eyes were still determined.
The shadowy sound of water drops lingered in his ears, but his eyes were focused on the book in his hand.
Suddenly, his ears twitched.
He put down the book in his hand and looked outside the cell.
The footsteps are getting closer.
"Hold it, get down here!" came a familiar voice, followed immediately by another person, standing outside the bars of the cell.
The jailer who led the way put down the box in his hand, lowered his head and turned around to go out.
The visitor slowly lowered the mask of his cloak, revealing the very familiar face of He Pingan.
"Todo..."
~~
He Guangyi looked at He Ping'an quietly, with a complicated mood.
Inadvertently, his eyes glanced at the book on the cattails, "Can you read?"
"In recent years, I have learned to read in my spare time!" He Ping'an bowed slightly, with a respectful attitude.
"Ha!" He Guangyi sneered, "I remember you used to be the most impatient with reading. Even official documents had to be written by others, saying that you couldn't see the square characters!" He said, sighing, "It seems that you have changed a lot in these years! It's just me.
But I don’t know when you started to change!”
He Ping'an raised his head with gentle eyes, "It's not that the humble position has changed, it's just that the capital didn't care."
Suddenly, the atmosphere somehow solidified.
The two of them are separated by the bars of the cell, so you look at me and I look at you.
"You shouldn't have come to the capital. The case of a low-level official is now being tried by the three divisions of the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice..."
He Guangyi waved his hand fiercely, interrupting He Pingan's words, then bent down to open the food box, "If I don't come to see you, what will your brothers think of me?"
As he said that, he suddenly smiled again, "You are quite popular, Sixth! Ever since you came in, how many brothers have been nagging in my ears all day long, asking me to enter the palace and ask the emperor to show mercy... Haha!"
Hearing this, He Pingan smiled self-deprecatingly.
He Guangyi came, but he also came with anger. From the few words he said since he came in, none of them were good.
"Well, they should all be your favorite food. Braised yellow pepper diced in soy sauce, razor clams with scallion oil, fried belly core, grilled pork strips..." He Guangyi took out a pot of wine and said, "Yeah.
...burn the knife!"
He Ping'an looked at the dishes being pushed in from outside the fence, sat down cross-legged with a smile, and picked up the chopsticks directly.
"Aren't you all together?"
"It's for you, eat it slowly!" He Guangyi's voice was a little cold.
~
The sound of dripping water was replaced by the sound of chewing to congratulate Ping An.
He picked up his chopsticks and started eating and drinking.
He Guangyi stood outside the railing, looking at that familiar face, and suddenly felt deep disgust in his heart.
He tried his best to restrain himself, not because of self-restraint, but because of his method.
The way you talk!
"You have such a big heart, you can still eat and drink at this time!" After a long while, He Guangyi spoke.
"Otherwise?" He Ping'an asked with a smile, "We are already in prison, how can we have such good food?" As he counted, his chopsticks suddenly stopped and he looked at He Guangyi,
“Maybe you’ll lose one meal after eating it!”
Finally, He Guangyi's forehead trembled violently.
His tone was a bit cold, "Humph, if I had known what would happen today, why would you do it in the first place?"
"If you do it again, you will still order someone to kill someone in a humble position!"
"You idiots know that's not what I'm talking about!" He Guangyi scolded, "I didn't expect that you, a white-eyed wolf, would hide next to me for so long?"
"You should let out all the gossip outside! Jin Yiwei has made you lose face this time, and I have made you lose face!"
"Now I'm not a fucking human inside and out. The brothers around me are complaining privately, saying that I didn't protect you! The people in the inner court hate me and say that I can't do things!"
"The Censor Yanguan said that I flatter the eunuch! Liu, you are really playing dirty! In order to mess with me, you even involved yourself."
"He Laoliu, ask yourself, how have I treated you over the years?"
He Ping'an put down his chopsticks, "Dutang was wrong, Beizhi has never been a white-eyed wolf!" He said, sternly, "Beizhi has been your dog all these years!"
At this time, he suddenly lowered his head and said, "You are very kind to me, but I have never let you down!"
"You said that you would accept other humble positions, but you said that the humble position was just to mess with you... I don't recognize the humble position!"
"Isn't it just to mess with me?"
He Guangyi sneered, and then looked into He Pingan's eyes, "You have worked so hard and made everyone uncomfortable. What are you trying to do? Tell me, what are you trying to do?"
This is what puzzled He Guangyi about the whole thing.
He Guangyi did have his own plan, but he didn't want He Laoliu to blow himself up before he even took action!
What puzzled him even more was that based on his understanding of He Laoliu, did he have such a brain?
"Tell me, what are you planning on?" He Guangyi asked again.
"Marry Hu Niu!"
"............"
He Guangyi looked at He Ping'an blankly, and suddenly became angry, "Did I fucking say I won't let you marry? I didn't say you should go back and think it over..."
"Dutang, I have been under your command since I entered Jinyiwei, from a small banner to a general banner, from a hundred households to a thousand households. Don't you know your humble position?"
He Pingjing said quietly, "When you told me to go back and think things over, I already understood! You will not allow me to marry Huniu!"
As he said that, he raised his head and looked into He Guangyi's eyes, "Not only will you not let me get married, you will also let me lose my reputation!"
"Over the years, there have been many smart, capable and profound people in Jinyiwei, but where have they gone?"
"It's true that you are good to your brothers, but the premise is that you are the brother and the others are brothers... You can marry anyone you want in your humble position, but you cannot marry Manager Wang's niece."
"In your mind, maybe when you say this in a humble position, it is tantamount to betrayal!"
He Guangyi stared at He Pingan for a long time.
"Aren't you betraying me now? You are no longer good, and you still want to drag me down? So you can marry me?"
"I didn't mean to harm you." He Ping'an sighed, "I did it myself, and I will bear it myself."
"Then you wait to die!" He Guangyi sneered.
"You can't die in a humble position!" He Pingan also looked into He Guangyi's eyes, "You can never die in a humble position! At most, you will have nothing, but a humble person is a person who has nothing!"
Suddenly, He Guangyi woke up, "Speak clearly!"
"Beizhi has made it very clear!" He Ping'an said calmly, "If Beizhi goes back and thinks it over clearly as you said, he insists on marrying Hu Niu! Not only will Beizhi have nothing, but he will really...
...Death! Because, in your opinion, this is betrayal!"
He Guangyi's hands shook and his expression became ferocious.
"But now, I will not die!" He Ping'an drank the last sip of his wine, "I have also been taken out of Jinyiwei. From now on, Dutang will follow your Yangguan Avenue, and I will take my own single-plank bridge...
