Zi Yan frowned and looked thoughtfully at the deserted courtyard! She was stunned for a moment, how could this happen?
Over there, Dongfang Hanyu also raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at the empty courtyard!
How could there be no manpower? Even if the prefect and his family went out, it was impossible for all the servants to go out together. How could there be a few left to watch the door?
But now there is indeed no one around. No wonder they have been walking around the yard for so long, and no one has come to ask!
Even if the government officials who gathered for gambling in front didn't care about anything else, what happened to the prefect here!
Why is the prefecture like a deserted ruin! Dongfang Hanyu suddenly felt a strong cry in his heart, go and have a look at the prison!
Dongfang Hanyu could no longer ignore what was in his heart. He and Zi Yan looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and immediately greeted the guards, and everyone rushed to the prison in unison!
There is an independent enclosed courtyard on the left side in front. There are officer and soldier handles outside, and there are also officer and soldier handles for each house inside.
The cells here are different from other cells. Each cell here is about ten square meters. There is a slate bed inside and there is no other thing. However, a small water channel is opened behind the cell in a very humane way.
Help them with urination and defecation.
Each cell is open, and the guards outside the door can clearly see what is going on inside, because in front, not all are separated by walls, but only the bottom area less than one meter high is padded with large rocks.
, on top are large wooden piles as thick as a bowl, and iron pillars.
From the outside, through the wooden pillars and iron pillars, you can clearly see the prisoner inside, what are you doing!
As for why iron pillars were added, it’s because someone once robbed a prison here, and wooden pillars are easier to break anyway! So iron pillars were added later!
Only the last few houses were sealed, with small windows opened at a height of one person to facilitate the delivery of food to the prisoners inside!
When Dongfang Hanyu and Ziyan arrived at the cell, they saw the officers and soldiers in front of the cell door chatting boredly before they even reached the cell. They sneaked aside and prepared to jump in from the other side, but outside the cell,
The conversation between those people attracted them.
Zi Yan motioned to the guards to investigate first! He and Dongfang Hanyu went to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Brother Qiang, do you think the prefect is a little different during this time than before?"
A young man in his twenties at most asked a man smoking a hookah next to him.
"Why is it different? I don't feel it. It's not that cold!"
The man smoking the hookah looked at his hookah and started puffing away the smoke.
"No, don't you find it strange? All the servants were sent away at once, and even the prefect's wife and children were sent back to their hometown." The young man continued.
"Yes, I agree with what Brother Bai said. What the prefect did during this period is really weird. Not only did he send the prefect's wife and the young master back, he didn't even leave any servants. I don't know who will greet the prefect during his usual meals and drinks!"
Another officer and soldier immediately interrupted and said, also with a suspicious look on his face! Such a prefect is indeed weird!
"Well, you don't think it's weird if you don't say it, but it's really weird when you say it!" The strong man who was puffing away his words blinked his small eyes and frowned.
