.Seeing that Fang Yiai turned back from the third door, Li Shimin and the other two people who walked to the second door hurriedly moved behind the row of soldiers next to them, looked at Fang Yiai strangely, and waited until they saw Fang Yiai.
When he saw the direction in which the people were walking, Li Shimin was stunned at first, then frowned in thought, then suddenly became solemn, and then his face became full of confusion and a little bit of curiosity.
The guards were very surprised, why did the emperor avoid Fang Yiai? Didn't the jailer who led the way say that Fang Yiai came to the Ministry of Punishment prison on an order? It was really difficult to figure out the emperor's thoughts. He was not capable of this idea.
It’s better not to make random guesses and stand your ground properly. So everyone unanimously chose to remain silent and wisely chose to ignore Fang Yiai, Li Shimin and others.
Facts have proved that everyone's choice is correct. After watching the door of the execution room behind Fang Yiai and others closed again, Li Shimin walked out from behind the soldiers with great dignity, looking at the row of people in front of him with satisfaction and without squinting, his expression unchanged.
The soldiers smiled and nodded at them, and then led Li Anyang and Zhao Yi towards the execution room in a graceful manner.
Li Anyang let out a long breath, followed Li Shimin, and quietly stretched out his hand to pull the soaked clothes stuck to his back.
Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows and followed without changing his expression, but slowly relaxed his clenched hands, allowing the sweat in his palms to quietly evaporate in the air.
After Li Shimin and the other two people had not entered the torture room, the row of soldiers where the three men were hiding breathed out almost in unison, then took off their helmets, wiped the cold sweat from their heads, and
Holding the helmet in one hand and fanning it vigorously, he leaned against the wall behind him in a somewhat exhausted state, looking at each other with joy and fear.
Fang Yiai took Fang Qi and followed the jailer into the execution room. What he saw was a simple office room for the interrogators to rest. He greeted everyone on duty and turned around the half-mountain wall that blocked his view. There were handrails against the wall behind him.
The steps came into view, and after descending the twenty-five steps with a standard height of 45 centimeters, there was a wide torture hall with the walls covered with pine oil lamps.
After going down the stairs, the wall was hung with various iron hooks, hammers, wooden shackles, iron chains, thin whips, thorn whips, hemp ropes and thorns, as well as some unknown torture instruments. The wall next to it was hung with various
Wooden sticks, wooden sticks, bamboo strips, iron rods, wooden boards, bamboo boards, leather boards, etc. At the corners of the two walls, there are also three large tanks, two large and one small. The small tank is obviously filled with oil, and the big one is filled with oil.
The tank is full of water.
Seeing Fang Yiai looking at the two large water tanks in confusion, the jailer quickly explained, "One of them is clean water, used to wake up prisoners who have passed out due to the punishment, and the other large tank is filled with salt water, used for whipping."
Dip the whip before execution."
"Salt water." Fang Yiai's whole body trembled. For some reason, a picture appeared in his mind of himself being covered in needle holes and being forcibly pressed into salt water! A layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.
There is a huge stove in the center of the torture hall, which is larger than Blacksmith Feng's furnace. The charcoal fire inside is burning brightly, making the entire cold and dark basement feel oppressively hot! Next to the big stove
A variety of soldering irons and pliers are neatly placed!
On the wall below the mountain wall, that is, the wall under the stairs, there is a dark table and cabinet, which contain some small torture instruments, including silver needles, iron awls, bamboo sticks, daggers, etc.
In addition to a two-meter-wide passage going back, the remaining wall has bracelets and anklets used to lock people on both sides of the wall. Two meters away in front, there are five or six sturdy and sturdy locks standing evenly.
As soon as you look at the logs, you can tell that they are also used to bind prisoners to facilitate torture.
Seeing what caught his eye, Fuasaki's little face turned a little pale, and he kept praying in his heart that Fang Yiai would finish his question quickly, and then leave this intrusive ghost place!
When Fang Yiai walked down the stairs, she felt like she had seen such a torture hall somewhere before, and the familiarity carried a sense of terror and fear! Especially when the jailer introduced that there was a torture hall in the cabinet next to it.
When the silver needle and bamboo stick were touched, Fang Yiai's eyes couldn't help but tighten, and his heart skipped a beat!
Just when Fang Yiai fell into this weird emotion, a pair of sinister eyes unexpectedly flashed through her mind! Fang Yiai suddenly took a breath of cold air, feeling 80% certain that this was the place.
Maybe it’s the place where my unlucky ex suffered a lot when he was a child!
Fang Yiai quickly urged the jailer who was leading the way to take her to find someone.
Following the jailer through the dim corridor a hundred meters away, there were more than twenty miserable and depressed prisoners tightly held in the iron-doored cells on both sides.
Walk to the end of the corridor, follow the jailer and turn to the right, and walk another thirty or fifty meters. In a cell filled with hay on the right hand side of the end, there is a man with disheveled hair sitting leaning against the wall, wearing thick irons on his hands and feet.
chain man.
"Master Fang, this is the person you are looking for." The jailer said to Fang Yiai with a smile on his face. Then he turned around and looked coldly at the prisoner with his eyes closed inside, and shouted sternly, "Jin Yuechuan, someone is coming.
Look at you, wake up!"
The man in the prison slowly moved his head, raised his heavily handcuffed arm, and used his fingers to pull away the hair covering his eyes. His thin, sallow and dirty face was revealed, his eyelids twitched twice, and he slowly
Slowly he opened his eyes in the direction of everyone.
Fang Yiai took a deep breath of the dirty and smelly air, clenched her fists, forced herself to suppress the violent fluctuations in her mood, and tried to keep herself calm to face the other party's pair of familiar eyes that were no longer familiar. Recently, she was always in nightmares.
The pair of gloomy eyes that he saw exuded a cold light.
The other party glanced lazily at the jailer in front of Fang Yiai, and then looked at Fang Yiai, who was dressed in bright clothes and looked like a noble nobleman. Seeing Fang Yiai, the other party was startled and leaned forward.
, sat up a little straighter, looked at Fang Yiai carefully, and then showed a surprised expression.
"Haha, I had expected that an acquaintance would come to look for me in the prison, but I never thought that the first person to come would be you." Jin Yuechuan relaxed and leaned against the wall, with a playful smile on his dry lips.
Looking at Fang Yiai mockingly, he said in a hoarse voice with a strange sound in his throat.
The two jailers were startled, and glanced at Fang Yiai strangely. They couldn't figure out why Fang Yiai knew the assassin in the prison. Fuasaki nervously hugged the wine jar in his arms, and the two guards
He tightened his hands and relaxed them, looking at Fang Yiai's expression worriedly, wondering if he was dragging the young master away?
"Haha, what's so unexpected about this?" Fang Yiai said in a calm tone.
"This is also the case. You must have a lot of questions in your mind?" Jin Yuechuan looked at Fang Yiai and said in a calm tone, "But you look better now than when you were a child. Well, how should I put it? You are a lot more mature and stable, and you have also grown up.
A lot. This is a bit beyond my expectation. It makes me regret it a bit."
"If there was no doubt, I wouldn't have come." Fang Yiai said with a smile, "To be honest, I have to thank you for being like this, right?"
"That's true. Without me, you might be a different person. Well, maybe like your elder brother, you would become an obedient idiot, walking through the Fangfu and the Imperial College every day. You should really thank me, no?
Turn you into a brainless idiot." Jin Yuechuan nodded in agreement and said.
Fuasaki was very surprised to see that Fang Yiai was able to chat calmly and casually with the person in the prison who had made him suffer a lot when he was a child, just like an old friend.
The two jailers just glanced at each other, and a realization arose in their hearts at the same time, "It turns out that Fang Yiai really knows the assassin. No wonder the emperor asked him to come there. He probably used the relationship between the two of them to talk about it."
However, after enlightenment, new questions emerged. Didn't the second son of the Fang family just celebrate his tenth birthday? How could he know this assassin who was in his forties? The two of them cleverly buried their doubts in
It was in my heart, but I didn’t express it in my mouth.
"Open the cell door. I want to have a good chat with Mr. Jin." Fang Yiai said to the jailer calmly.
"Master Fang, he is an assassin. What if this is just in case?" the leading jailer said hesitantly, winking at Fuasaki from time to time.
"Master, can't you just talk to him here?" Fang Qi looked at Fang Yi'ai eagerly and said worriedly.
"Master Fang, you..." the jailer opened his mouth to persuade.
"Haha, aren't you afraid that I will kill you with a silver needle in my mouth?" Jin Yuechuan interrupted the jailer and said contemptuously to Fang Yiai.
"I don't think you have any silver needles, otherwise you would have used them for yourself. I don't have blades as thin as silkworm wings, but I do have a few blades as thin as willow leaves. Do you want them?" Fang Yiai asked.
He put on an indifferent smile and said calmly.
"Defense yourself? Or kill me? Li Shimin agrees with you to kill me?" A light flashed in Jin Yuechuan's eyes and he asked casually.
"It's for saving people." Fang Yiai replied, urging the jailer to open the door quickly.
Seeing Fang Yiai's resolute attitude, the jailer who led the way could only nod in agreement and quickly ran back to get the key to the cell.
After climbing up the previous stairs and turning around the wall halfway up the mountain, the jailer was about to complain to his colleagues with a grimace. Before he could open his mouth, he saw the previous people standing side by side with their heads lowered and their backs facing him.
The leading jailer strangely walked around the human wall, and saw the old god Li Shimin in civilian clothes sitting beside him, and beside him, the cold-faced Zhao Yi whom the jailer had seen before. Needless to say, the other man next to him had a smooth chin and looked like a man.
The woman with the bowed waist must be Li Anyang.
The jailer was so frightened that his legs went weak, he fell to his knees and opened his mouth to shout long live.
"Shut up!" Li Shimin shouted in a low voice.
The words that frightened the jailer came to his lips and he bit his tongue again and swallowed them, trembling and not daring to raise his head.
"Who is the person Fang Yiai wants to see?" Li Shimin asked seemingly casually.
"Go back, go back to the emperor's room, Mr. Fang, the person I see, is the assassin, guest, guest I captured before, named Jin, Jin, Jin Yuechuan." The jailer felt strange in his heart.
, Didn’t Fang Yiai come here with an order? How could the emperor not know who Fang Yiai wanted to see? No, he must be seeing whether I was serious about my work, so he stammered excitedly at the moment.
"Jin Yuechuan?" Li Shimin frowned without leaving any trace and murmured.
"Are you coming?" Li Shimin asked.
"Master Fang said that he wanted to go into the cell to reminisce with Jin Yuechuan and asked me to open the labor door. The young man came back to get the key." Regarding his stuttering performance just now, the jailer felt very regretful and thought to himself that the emperor must have thought that he was a stutterer. No.
, you must speak smoothly when you answer, I can definitely do it, I will be able to say the words smoothly in one breath, and sure enough, this sentence was spit out without any pause, like beans.
"Well, Jin Yuechuan was held in solitary confinement?" Li Shimin nodded and continued to ask.
"It's the emperor." The jailer replied quickly. After he felt something was wrong, he quickly changed his words and said, "Not the emperor, the emperor is, not, I, am, the emperor..."
"Okay!" Li Shimin frowned, waved his hand impatiently to stop the jailer, and then asked the jailer, "Is the cell next to Jin Yuechuan empty?"
The jailer carefully looked up at Li Anyang who was gouging people with his eyes behind Li Shimin. He thought about it carefully, then took a deep breath, learned from previous experiences and lessons, organized his words in his heart, and then opened his mouth and said word by word,
"Back to the emperor, the row of cells opposite Jin Yuechuan and the row of cells next to him have no prisoners."
Li Shimin knocked on the table rhythmically with his hand several times, thought for a while, and then said to the jailer who was still kneeling on the ground, "Get up and get the key to open the door for him. Remember not to let Fang Yiai, Fang Qi and Jin
What did Yue Chuan and the others see? Otherwise, hum! Go."
"It's the Emperor. I understand that I won't let them see anything." The jailer shuddered and kowtowed to Li Shimin gratefully. Then he stood up and fetched the key from half the wall behind him.
In the panic, I dropped several bunches of other keys, and then I took down the bunch I wanted. Holding the keys firmly in my hand, I bent down to pick up the bunches of keys that had fallen to the ground.
"There's no need to pick it up. Go quickly and remember not to let Fang Yiai see anything!" Li Shimin frowned and said.
"It's the emperor, I will definitely do it, I will definitely do it." As he said that, the jailer nodded and kept backing towards the stairs. After turning around the wall halfway up the mountain, the jailer held onto the wall with his trembling legs and breathed a long sigh of relief.
, the clothes on the back were soaked through with sweat.
After trying hard to calm down his emotions and stabilize his mind, so that he looked no different from before, he also kept telling himself that he must be natural, he must be natural, so Hou Zai walked towards the cell with a slow pace.
When he turned the corner and saw Fang Yiai and others, the expression on the jailer's face had become the same as before, and because the lights in the dungeon were dim and the clothes he was wearing were black, the wet back was not
