"You... who are you?" Suddenly being mentioned by Lang Fei, the two jailers, one old and one young, suddenly woke up. After struggling to no avail, they immediately asked with fearful expressions.
Lang Fei shook his head and answered the question: "Let me ask you two, where is the warden in this prison?"
Hearing Lang Fei's words, the two jailers looked at each other and hesitated and did not dare to speak clearly.
"Hehe, it seems that you are drinking as a penalty instead of toasting?" After saying this, Lang Fei took out the Ice Whale Steel Blade and waved it in front of the two of them.
I don't know whether he was frightened by his words or affected by the cold air emanating from the steel blade. The younger of the two jailers shivered continuously, and pointed his trembling fingers at the dim corridor on the side of the stone wall.
Seeing this, Lang Fei turned his head and took a closer look at the corridor, then put down the two jailers, pointed at the corridor and said: "Lead the way, and remember not to play tricks, otherwise I will not be a vegetarian with my steel edge."
"Yes, yes, yes." The young jailer had never seen such a scene before. There was cold sweat on his forehead, and he hurriedly turned around and walked forward.
The two jailers walked into the corridor first, and Lang Fei and the other three started to follow them. After walking more than ten meters, they came to a stone room. The young jailer turned back to Lang Fei and pointed to the stone room and said: "Two good men, the jailer is inside.
"
Lang Fei nodded, then pointed at the young jailer and then at the stone door in front of him.
The young jailer still didn't understand what he meant. With a grimace on his face, he raised his hand and knocked on the stone door: "My lord, please see me."
"Prison Master, Zhang Da wants to see you."
"..."
At Lang Fei's signal, the young jailer knocked several times. After waiting for a while, an impatient voice came from the stone room: "Zhang Da, don't look at what time this is. Didn't I tell you this a long time ago?"
,Don’t interrupt my rest without permission?”
"Um... Mr. Prison Secretary, Zhang Danai knows something important, so I hope you won't be surprised."
"Something important? Wait." Then there was a sound of getting dressed in the stone room.
A moment later, after hearing a burst of footsteps, the door creaked open from the inside.
"You..." A middle-aged man wearing pajamas, with a flat nose and raised eyebrows just showed his head, and then, a cold thin sword appeared three inches from his forehead.
"Don't talk too much, go in, or you will be splashed with blood immediately."
Hearing the rapier master's words, the middle-aged man raised his hands tremblingly and retreated into the room with somewhat disordered steps.
"You guys go in too." After the two jailers were driven in, Lang Fei and the other three also walked into the stone room.
"Are you the Chief of Qianyang Prison?"
The middle-aged man did not dare to neglect, and nodded hurriedly: "That's right. I wonder what you call a hero? Why are you here?"
"You have no place to ask questions here, you just need to answer my questions."
The middle-aged warden was scolded by Lang Fei and immediately did not dare to say anything. He just stared straight at the Ice Whale Steel Front that exuded wisps of cold air.
"Let me ask you, how many years have you been in Qianyang Prison?"
"Ah...ah?" The middle-aged warden's attention was attracted by Gang Feng, and he did not hear Lang Fei's words clearly.
"I asked you how many years have you been working as a prison director?" In anger, Lang Fei raised his steel sword and tapped him on the forehead.
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the middle-aged warden, and in the blink of an eye, it was condensed into frost by the cold air of the steel blade. Under such a situation, he did not dare to lose his mind anymore, and hurriedly answered: "Back... back to a hero, no... I will not serve in the prison."
Si, it has been...more than ten years."
"That's good. Let me ask you, do you remember how the body of Ouyang Mu, who died unjustly in Qianyang Prison seven years ago, was disposed of?"
After hearing what Lang Fei said, the middle-aged warden suddenly changed his face after pondering for a while, then shook his head wildly and shouted: "I don't know, I don't know."
Seeing him showing such an expression, Lang Fei guessed that there must be something hidden, but in the face of Gang Feng's threat, he still refused to tell the truth, which made Lang Fei feel a bit troublesome.
"The prison warden has a tough talk, so it seems we need to start somewhere else."
A thought came to his mind, Lang Fei turned sideways and looked at the two jailers, and then said: "Do you know the burial place of Ouyang Mu that I just mentioned?"
The young jailer was the first to speak. He shook his head slightly and said blankly: "Hero, I have only been on duty in Qianyang Prison for less than a year. I really don't know what happened seven years ago."
Seeing that his expression didn't look fake, Lang Fei turned to look at the old jailer again.
"Good man, I'm old and brain-dead. I can't remember most of what happened two years ago, not to mention seven years ago."
"What this old guy said is not entirely true." After pondering for a moment, Lang Fei suddenly had an idea in his mind. After weighing it, he turned to Zhu Ganglie and whispered a few instructions.
"Well, don't worry." After Lang Fei finished speaking, Zhu Ganglie nodded, walked to the wooden case in the stone room, then raised his hand and placed the brocade blanket that had been dyed red on the table.
"Look what this is!" After attracting the attention of the three people, Zhu Ganglie shouted and threw the package away.
"This... this... Prime Minister Qin." When he saw what was in the package, the middle-aged prison chief was stunned at first, and then turned pale with shock. When Zhu Ganglie opened the package just now, he didn't even notice when he saw the human head.
How did he feel? After all, he had been a prison warden for more than ten years, and such bloody scenes were already commonplace. But when he carefully recognized the appearance of the head, he felt horrified. Over the years, he had dealt with many difficult situations for Qin Wen.
In this situation, when I saw the head on the table at this moment, how could I not recognize that familiar face?
"You...are you the one who is wanted all over the city for harming Prime Minister Qin?"
At this time, Lang Fei turned a deaf ear to the middle-aged warden's words. He just narrowed his eyes and looked at the older warden with malice.
Looking at the big-eyed, bloody head on the wooden case, and looking at Lang Fei with a fierce face, the elderly jailer fell to his knees with a "pop" and begged for mercy: "Master, have mercy on me, sir, have mercy on me, little Quan
Say it, Xiao Quan said..."
"You..." The warden was about to scold him, but he was grabbed by Zhu Ganglie, who raised his hand and said, "Shut up, Mr. Zhu."
"It's him, it's all him. Those things were all done by his junior." Hearing the noise, the older jailer turned his face and pointed at the warden bitterly: "Sir, the junior is just a free man.
Eating, these harmful behaviors were all done under his instruction."
Seeing that the elderly jailer was so frightened that he could not speak clearly, Lang Fei said: "Please speak more clearly. If it is true as you said, I will not make things difficult for you."
After hearing this, the elder jailer calmed down and told the whole story: "Sir, I have been in prison here for more than ten years. The jailer often ordered us to collect some medicinal powder of unknown origin.
Mixed into the meals of designated prisoners. After that, within a few days or as long as a few months, those prisoners will die in prison inexplicably for unknown reasons. And for their bodies, the warden will not allow their families to claim them.
He ordered us to throw them all into a secret crypt."
"Hmph, what else do you have to say now?" Lang Fei grabbed the warden, held him by his neck and led him: "Your master is dead, I didn't expect a dog to be so loyal."
"Hmph, you're so talkative. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, it's up to you."
Seeing that he was still arrogant, Lang Fei did not get angry with him. He just winked at Zhu Ganglie, then turned to the elder jailer and said, "Where is the cellar? Show me."
"Yes, sir, please come this way." After saying this, the two jailers walked out of the stone room first.
"Let's go." Lang Fei took Xue Ya's little hand and followed closely. Zhu Ganglie wrapped Qin Wen's head again, grabbed the prison officer, and pushed him along the way.
The two jailers led the way back to the stone cell along the original path, took the key and opened the cell door. After passing through the dark and damp prison cells, they reached the end of the passage in half a stick of incense. When Zhu Ganglie escorted the warden all the way,
When he arrived, the older jailer squatted down and pushed aside the thatch in the ground, touched it lightly with his palm for a moment, and then pulled up a hidden grid.
"Master, it's right down there."
Lang Fei nodded and winked at the steps that appeared under the hidden grid.
The elderly jailer did not dare to be negligent. He reached for the torch on the stone wall, bowed and walked slowly down the stone steps.
Immediately afterwards, Lang Fei and others also filed in. The group walked diagonally downward for about ten meters, and suddenly a small stone room only a few feet long and wide appeared in front of them.
"Sir, here we are, here is the cellar where the corpses were dumped." The elderly jailer walked into the stone room and pointed to a circular stone cover on the ground.
"Yes." Lang Fei nodded, led Xue Ya down the stone steps, and stood close to the wall. When Zhu Ganglie finally arrived escorting the warden, the boy suddenly saw that the guy who had previously regarded death as if he was dead had an unnatural expression on his face.
.
"Hehe, the best way is not to do bad things and not to be afraid of evil spirits." He cursed in his heart, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, so he walked to Zhu Ganglie in a few steps and whispered a few words.
The idiot smiled evilly when he heard this, gave him a thumbs up and nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Lang Fei smiled slightly, turned to the older jailer and ordered: "Move it away."
"Yes." The two jailers responded in unison, each lifting both sides and exerting force together.
In the blink of an eye, the stone cover was slowly moved away, revealing the dark hole hidden underneath. Lang Fei calmed down and was about to look down, when suddenly, the smell of rotting corpses came over the surface.
"Hmm..." The boy immediately held his breath and took several steps back until he hit a stone wall and then stopped.
"It stinks." Lang Fei sighed with emotion. Just as he was about to ask the jailer for details, Xue Ya jumped out beside him. Regardless of the rancid smell, she fell down at the entrance of the cave and sobbed: "Dad, Dad, the child is unfilial.
Coming to pick you up."
"Xueya, don't do this. Get up first and then talk." Seeing her so sad, Lang Fei couldn't bear it and hurriedly stepped forward to pull her up. He ignored her resistance and held her in his arms. "Xueya, calm down.
I don’t know what’s going on down here, I’ll ask them about it and discuss countermeasures before it’s too late.”
