Chapter 186 The Yintang turns black, a bloody disaster
Tao E and Gao Qiang changed into jailer's clothes and went to the Yamen.
Xia Yanzhen and the other two were wearing the casual clothes they had brought in advance last night.
Although these ordinary clothes are made of coarse linen and are not very comfortable to wear, they are much better looking than the jailer's clothes.
The jailer's clothes highlight a lifeless look, a classic zombie movie official uniform.
I haven't seen the more advanced official uniforms yet, so I don't know if they are also in the same vein.
Tao E and Gao Qiang came to the government office and first went to the cell leader Zhang who was rumored to be retiring to explain the situation.
According to Tao E, Lan Luo never came back after being lazy yesterday, and went to who knows where.
Xia Shiyi took sick leave today.
Bai Huang (Bai Huang) and A Dong (Wang Dong) felt a little worried that Lan Luo was not coming back, so they went to find him.
"Worry, what are you worried about?" The little old man with gray hair asked casually with his head bent.
Tao E deliberately looked around and saw no one around, lowered his voice and said: "I don't know where the news came from, saying that the demon from Tianxinhui is in Qingwu Mansion."
"What did you say?" Zhang Pan stood up suddenly, "A demon from Tianxinhui? Who did you listen to?"
"I forgot, I heard someone mention it about half a month ago." Tao E said, "Is the demon in Tianxinhui really scary today, casually disemboweling people and eating raw flesh and blood?"
"How is that possible! Do you believe what those ignorant mountain villagers say?" Zhang Pan immediately retorted, "The monsters in Tianxinhui are nothing more than rats hiding in the gutter."
"Oh, oh." Tao E made a surprised look.
"Qingwu Fucheng is very safe. There is no way that demons from Tianxinhui will come. Don't listen to those who don't know what they are talking about. Just focus on guarding the prison, you know?" Zhang Pan scolded Tao E unhappily.
Tao E bowed and listened obediently.
It's interesting to say that Tao E has good looks and outstanding temperament. After putting on this jailer's soap uniform, he becomes ordinary.
Even if he has a "temperament", he still has the vicious aura of a jailer, like a mangy dog, which won't make anyone feel good about him.
Everyone else is pretty much the same.
If Xia Yanzhen's theory of "luck" is true, it would fit this situation.
After Tao E left, Zhang Pan stood up and paced uneasily. Did the demon from Tianxinhui really appear in Qingwu Mansion?
tomato
Even if it's not in Qingwu City, but in Qingwu Mansion, it's still a big deal.
Others didn't know it, but he knew that the demons of Tianxinhui were very dangerous.
They are specifically against the imperial court!
There is no mercy in killing officials like them.
"Do you want to report it to Wang Dianshi? But if it is just false news, it will make the higher-ups unhappy..." Zhang Pan was caught in the battle between heaven and man.
This is also the effect that Tao E mentioned many times that Tianxin Society wants to achieve.
Hope it attracts attention.
After Tao E left, he and Gao Qiang inspected the underground prison.
When it was time for rest, he went to the scribe.
There are many clerks in the government office. Tao E is looking for the prison clerk, who is responsible for document records related to the prison. He will have some information on prisoners.
Including identity and crimes committed.
As an old jailer, Tao E suddenly asked to read these. The scribe was a little surprised and joked: "Tao E, can you read?"
"Of course I can understand it." Tao E stiffened his neck, "When I can recite it better, I have to let those guys treat me for a month."
Tao E wanted to see this, so he made a bet with Xia Yanzhen and others.
Classic boring grudge.
The scribe didn't have any doubts, and after giving some pointers, he let Tao E take a look for himself.
Tao E looked at the records and found that the most recent one was that of Widow Yang, whose real name was Yang Xianglian. The crime written on it was that of having sex with a woman.
There is no other information at all.
This crime can be big or small. It can be placed in many places, even if it is soaked in a pig cage and killed, no one will care about it.
When it comes to court, it depends on the mood of the parents and officials.
Basically, it's just a matter of words.
The prefect of Qingwu Prefecture is even more powerful than the county magistrate. At least the magistrate here cannot sentence people to death.
But the magistrate can, and has the power to question and kill the queen, and has the power of life and death in the territory of the prefecture, taking it and taking it away.
Tao E quickly flipped through the information in front of him, and more than thirty people who were imprisoned read it all.
There are thieves, there are thieves, and there are murderers.
In the records, I didn’t see anything related to the Tianxin Society.
After thinking about it, Tao E put down the record and asked the clerk: "By the way, have you seen Lan Luo yesterday or today?"
"He is not from your class?" The scribe was a little confused.
"Yeah, but he disappeared yesterday, and I'm a little worried..." Tao E wanted to connect Lan Luo's disappearance with Tianxin Society.
Spreading horrific rumors.
Tianxinhui has set up a branch in Qingwu Mansion to hide, and you people still don't know anything about it. You won't know how you will die by then.
Come and be useful, you are members of the imperial court!
In the evening, the two of them had a simple meal and then continued their patrol. Xia Yanzhen and the others also returned.
They will spend tonight in this underground prison.
In the evening, just after Xu time (20 o'clock), Tao E and the others added a few more bright stones to the passage in front.
The front part of the prison passage and the rest room have been made much brighter.
Just after finishing, there was a sound of footsteps, and five people came down the stone steps.
The leader was a middle-aged man of short stature, wearing a black yamen uniform with no writing on it, which looked more advanced than ordinary yamen uniforms.
However, her body was fat and greasy, and it felt like her clothes were about to be torn apart.
Tao E recognized this man as Wang Youcai, a Dianshi who was in charge of detecting thieves and guarding prisons. He was also the immediate superior of the jailers like them.
"Master Wang." Tao E stepped forward and bowed slightly.
Wang Youcai was followed by four government officials, and he was the eldest, so he could call you sir directly.
If there is a bigger person, he can only be called "Wang Dianshi".
Using official title instead of title, as for the name "Youcai", it is not something they, the government officials and jailers, can call.
Just shouting and peeling off a layer of skin will be considered a good thing.
"Yes." Wang Youcai responded indifferently, "Take me to see that convict woman Yang Xianglian."
After getting closer, Tao E could smell the smell of alcohol on Wang Youcai and the government officials.
His walking steps were also a little frivolous, and he obviously drank a lot.
Tao E and Wang Dong took lanterns filled with bright stones and led the way unnecessarily.
"Why are there just you two?" Wang Youcai asked.
"The three of them are patrolling inside," Tao E said.
"Three?" Wang Youcai was not completely drunk and his thinking was still clear. "Is there one more person?"
Tao E started talking about Lan Luo's disappearance again, and by the way, he brought the topic to Tianxin.
"Tianxinhui? Bastard! Where did you hear that!" Wang Youcai snorted coldly and reprimanded, "The people of Qingwu Mansion live and work in peace and contentment, how can there be monsters from Tianxinhui!
"If I hear such nonsense again, be careful of your arrogance!"
"Yes, yes!" Tao Echeng lowered his head in fear and said yes.
"It seems that Tianxin will be more powerful than we thought. These people are afraid of mentioning it, and they don't even allow us to talk about it," Tao E said in the team channel.
"It's hard to use these human corpses," Wang Dong said.
When mentioning Tianxinhui, the first reaction of these people is to escape. No wonder there is a branch in Qingwu Mansion, but they still don't know anything about it.
All that thought was spent on the common people.
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. This is also true for the prison head and the history books. Tao E and the others do not expect that the prefect will be a "good official".
After teaching Tao E, Wang Youcai took crab steps, passed the two people in front of him, and arrived outside Yang Xianglian's prison.
Yang Xianglian curled up and leaned against the wall in the corner, but did not fall asleep.
She looks much cleaner than yesterday, and under the bright stone, her temperament is even more pity-like.
When she heard the footsteps and saw Wang Youcai, unlike when she saw the jailer Lan Luo, Yang Xianglian's face showed not only fear but also hatred.
"Open the door." Wang Youcai motioned to Tao E to open the door.
Tao E opened the door, and Wang Youcai asked Tao E and Wang Dong to go in first with lanterns to give him light.
"Little lady, have you figured it out?"
Facing Yang Xianglian, Wang Youcai's stern face melted away, and he smiled extremely obscenely.
Yang Xianglian bit her lip and said nothing.
"As long as you agree to be my tenth concubine, I can let you go and follow me and live a good life." Wang Youcai continued.
Yang Xianglian's bloodless lips were bitten by her, drawing blood.
"The tenth room?" Bai Huang's surprised voice came from the team channel, "In the real world, this would be beheading."
They were walking over and happened to hear this.
Just now three people went to the prison to ask the prisoners to be quiet.
There are ghosts crying and wolf howling there at night, the structure of the underground prison makes it easy for people to scream, and the sound can easily be transmitted here.
Xia Yan really felt it was too noisy, so he went over with Gao Qiang and Bai Huang and "admonished" the prisoners a little.
good results.
Now these human prisoners, even those with lifeblood on their bodies, are huddled in the corner, as quiet as chickens.
A little light slowly emerged from the dark passage.
Bai Huang took the lead with a lantern: "Why is this talented king here?"
"Greedful of people's bodies and property." Tao E said.
Xia Yanzhen and the others just arrived.
When Wang Youcai saw that Yang Xianglian was silent, he was still drunk, and the obscene fake smile disappeared from his face: "Hey! Little bitch! Letting you, a concubine, be my concubine, I am flattering you, don't be shameless!"
Yang Xianglian opened her mouth and finally said: "Even if I die, I will never obey you!"
"well!"
Wang Youcai was furious, "In that case!"
He began to unbutton the belt of his clothes, and at the same time ordered Tao E and Wang Dong: "Go up and hold her down. We all have a share in the evening! I eat meat, and you eat soup!"
The eager government officials in the passage outside cheered in low voices.
Seeing that Tao E and Wang Dong didn't move, Wang Youcai, who was half-dressed, threw his hands away and slapped Tao E on the face: "Didn't you hear her when I asked you to hold her down?"
Tao E received a slap and stood still, thinking about how to solve the situation in front of him.
One slap was not enough, so Wang Youcai tried to strike again. Someone grabbed his shoulder and said, "Sir, I see your hall has turned black."
Xia Yanzhen came behind Wang Youcai.
Wang Youcai narrowed his eyes, slowly turned his head, and stared at Xia Yanzhen. Under the not very bright light, his face was ferocious and fierce: "Little brat, do you want to die?"
It's really weird today.
Two jailors were disobedient, and the other one dared to stop him.
"Well, it didn't take effect?" Xia Yanzhen muttered, "Forget it."
The right hand with the howling bracelet was put down, and the left hand with the palm Qiankun stretched out violently, holding down Wang Youcai's head.
Xia Yanzhen's fingers twitched slightly, and a bloody sharp blade popped out from his wrist.
Stab into Wang Youcai's eyes.
"Originally, I just wanted to make you suddenly suffer from a serious illness and not necessarily die. But now... it can only be a bloody disaster."
Xia Yanzhen withdrew the bloody blade, and Wang Youcai's body fell.
The poison on the bloody blade killed him in an instant.
The officials of the imperial court are not much harder to kill than Lan Luo.
