Ma Xingkong was sleepy and rubbed his dry eyes. Yesterday, someone sent a food box with wine and meat in it. He and Long Jie had a delicious meal. Now when he woke up, his head was still a little swollen.
"Where are we going?" Ma Xingkong asked, "Are you going to let us go?"
A policeman laughed and said: "It's hard to say, maybe it's possible! Okay, stop talking nonsense and leave quickly!"
After exiting the cell door, they turned twists and turns. When they saw the sun, it was so dazzling. The prison in the police station was the product of the renovation of the prison of the former Qing Ministry of Punishment. The so-called feudal superstitious symbols in the prison were removed, and the cells were made as thick as an arm.
The wooden cage was replaced with an iron one. Finally, the sign on the gate was changed, and it became the prison cell of the Capital Police Department of the Republic of China.
There was a car waiting for them outside the prison gate. Ma Xingkong and Long Jie were escorted into the car, and the car entered Xinhua Gate. Ma Xingkong and Long Jie looked at each other. They had both been to this place before, even though they left
It's not the main entrance, and the scenery inside is still the same.
Leaning down on the car window and looking out, the students shouting loudly on the street and the pedestrians coming and going gathered into a turbulent flow of people. The car stopped several times, waiting for the police to clear the crowd blocking the way.
Long Jie asked: "Brother! Where are they taking us?"
Ma Xingkong looked at the environment, then looked at the direction of the car, and shook his head: "I don't know, it's probably not a good place!"
"Ah! He doesn't want to kill us!"
Ma Xingkong smiled: "Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid! As long as I follow my brother, I will have no regrets even if I die!"
"Good brother!" Ma Xingkong nodded.
The car continued to go north, and after passing near Zhongnanhai, the crowds gradually diminished, and the streets became much deserted. The speed of the car also increased, and the strong cold wind poured in through the car window, which made it difficult to wear clothes.
Resistance. Ma Xingkong and Long Jie sat in the car silently.
The car turned right and stopped after walking a short distance. The car door was opened heavily, and several policemen stood outside the car door. One policeman shouted: "Come out! We're here!"
"Where is this?" Ma Xingkong asked.
The policeman smiled and said: "You are lucky, kid. The people who were detained here were all relatives of the royal family. Now that you are detained here, you will also be exposed to their nobility! Haha..." The policemen burst into laughter.
laugh.
Looking south from this place, the bright glazed tile roof is hidden by a red wall. The color on the red wall has faded a lot after being exposed to wind and sun, and some places have turned black. Square brick paving
The completed road has not been used for many years, and some weeds sprout from the cracks between the bricks. Some dying crickets are jumping around in these yellowed grasses.
The passage was very long, and there were many door openings in the middle, like bamboo poles one by one. It made people feel like they couldn't see the end at a glance. The policemen complained one by one and angrily urged Ma Xingkong and Long Jie to speed up.
Footsteps. One of the young men sighed: "If you leave a good prison without supervision, we have to let a few of us bring them here. Don't you think those officials are full and full?"
The older man said: "Stop complaining, work, work!"
This is a small yard with piles of weeds. There is only one small house directly opposite the gate. Near the back wall of the house, three policemen lifted up a large iron ring on the ground, revealing a black
At the entrance of the cave, a musty smell instantly filled the entire house.
"What the hell kind of place is this? Can people live here?" The young policeman complained again.
Ma Xingkong raised his hand to the elderly policeman and said, "Brother, please tell us what kind of place is this?"
The policeman waved the dust in front of his eyes with his sleeves and said, "Then I'll tell you! This is the prison of the Qing Dynasty!"
The Tianlao is not as spacious and comfortable as the storytellers and opera singers said, and there are many prisoners. The Tianlao, as the name suggests, refers to the emperor's cell. Only prisoners who have been ordered to be imprisoned and executed by the emperor can enter the Tianlao. The Tianlao in the Qing Dynasty is
In this small courtyard in the northwest corner of the Forbidden City. The basement inside the house is the real prison. From today on, Ma Xingkong and Long Jie will be secretly detained here in accordance with Yuan Shikai's order. The four policemen who came with him are
The guard of the prison.
There is a small hole at the top of one side of the sky prison, which is probably used for ventilation. There is no light, no bed board, not even wormwood. It is surrounded by cold stones. You have to escape from here.
When you go out, you will reach the sky.
Long Jie took off his coat and spread it on the floor: "Brother, why don't you take a nap first? We'll have lunch later. I'll call you when the food is delivered!"
Ma Xingkong grabbed the clothes and put them on Long Jie: "Just wait! In such a desolate place, something will happen at the earliest in the afternoon or at the latest in the evening. Be smart!"
As soon as Ma Xingkong finished speaking, the iron plate at the entrance was opened. Liu Wu and Hei Wa jumped down one after another. Hei Wa was particularly excited: "Brother, are you okay? We are here to rescue you!"
Back on the ground. Shitou sat on the left, watching the policemen guarding Ma Xingkong kneeling in front of Shitou with their hands raised. Shitou held a stick and was lecturing them one by one. The policemen were trembling. No matter what Shitou said, they all said it.
Okay. Seeing Ma Xingkong come out, a bunch of rocks hit the youngest policeman on the head: "Tell me, have you treated our boss badly?"
"No! No! Absolutely not!" the policeman replied hastily.
Ma Xingkong waved his hand: "Don't make it difficult for them! They didn't do anything to me! How did you know I was here?"
Liu Wu looked around: "Brother, this is not the place to talk. If anything happens, just go out and talk about it. Mr. Zhang's car is right outside!"
"How will they deal with it?" Shitou pointed at the police officers kneeling on the ground.
"Let them go!" Ma Xingkong said. Several policemen were relieved and hurriedly turned around and kowtowed to Ma Xingkong.
Abandoning these policemen, Ma Xingkong and others came out of the sky jail and met Zhang Xueliang's car at the door. Zhang Xueliang came to greet him personally. He should not stay here for a long time. They exchanged a few words with each other, quickly got in the car, and drove off in a hurry.
Out of the Forbidden City. On the way back, Zhang Xueliang briefly introduced the situation in the capital these days. When he learned that the crowds gathering in front of Xinhua Gate were all for him, Ma Xingkong was shocked. He did not expect that things would get messy.
It looks like this.
Cui Xiaozhuan was also in the leather goods store when he saw Ma Xingkong coming out. The old man blew out a long breath of smoke and looked at Chang San: "You can tell Cao Kun now that Xingkong is from our Qinggang. If he wants
This great president sits firmly and takes his time in whatever he does!"
