The cadres couldn't take too much care of the prisoners. They took off all the messy things on your body and gave you free clothes. This was eye-catching enough. Naturally, it was impossible for the prisoners to have a room to live in at night.
Lin Chengyuan and his daughter were also crowded into a cell with dozens of other prisoners.
Yes, I don’t know whether it is God’s will or irony. Not only the roof of the inn was broken, but the entire inn was almost completely destroyed. From the outside, except for the roof, everything else was still intact, but only the corner side was damaged.
These dozen prisons are still intact.
Xiao Jiang brought two people in to share dinner. The two people behind him each carried a bucket, one filled with cut vegetable pancakes and the other filled with water.
"Princess Anle and General Qi are kind-hearted and pity you, old and young, and cannot bear to lose your lives in vain because of your family members' crimes. From now on, you will have three meals a day, and you will report any illness or pain in time. We will
A military doctor will come to treat you.
But we have already told you that you have to go to the mountains to find medicine on your own. As long as you have any conscience, you cannot ask military doctors for medicine. Those medicines are shipped to disaster areas to treat people."
After Xiao Jiang finished speaking, he didn't care what the prisoners thought. He waved his whip and asked everyone to line up and come up to receive water and cakes.
Lin Chengyuan and his daughter were standing next to the cell door, but he did not go to the front first, but took his daughter to the end of the line.
When Lin Chengyuan came forward, Xiaojiang took a step to the side as if unintentionally as the officer handed the cake to him, and quickly stuffed a cloth bag into Lin Chengyuan's arms.
Xiao Jiang's actions were also noticed by the other two government officials, who all picked up the empty bucket and left as if they had not seen anything.
Lin Chengyuan was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, Xiao Jiang had already left the cell and was locking the cell with a thick iron chain.
He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the wooden pillar with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Master, I have something urgent to report to General Qi."
Xiao Jiang's hands were shaking. If anyone else had dared to say this in front of him, he would have just thought that person was crazy, but this...
It turns out that even General Qi is an acquaintance!
Fortunately, he was still able to hold his own. He nodded invisibly and replied in the same low voice: "I will report it to the boss."
Whether the boss allows you to meet him or not is none of my business.
I was shocked when I first heard it.
However, he did not doubt that Lin Chengyuan had anything to do with General Qi, but he thought that Lin Chengyuan had been a county magistrate for several years before, and was a good official who really petitioned for the people. Then he thought about the destruction of the inn...
Could it be that Lin County Cheng discovered something?
If he didn't report this in time, if something happened to him in the future, he might not even have a chance to be exiled.
He hurriedly ran towards the camp.
Little did he know that several people here at the camp were also chatting about the inn.
Cheng Si, the deputy general in charge of weapons, said: "Even if this place has no village or store, nearby towns will come to see the situation of the post station. Things needed for the post station also need to be purchased from nearby towns. The news of the destruction of the post station is impossible."
Don’t reveal it.”
This place is relatively close to Yong'an City, and it is a peaceful place. It is impossible to carelessly abandon the inn there, unless the inn has just been destroyed and people have just left.
Zheng Haoran, who was in charge of the war, also nodded in agreement: "General, this is something strange. I went into the inn to have a look. The inn was not destroyed by swords or anything like that, but more like it was destroyed by brute force. The traces were all new. I also saw the roof.
I went up to see it and the situation is the same.”
He was extremely shocked after seeing it. He followed the traces one by one and was able to confirm that the damage was from the inside out. In other words, the damage to the station was not caused by external forces.
Prince Li hissed, "It can't be human, right?"
Fang Qi, who went with Zheng Haoran, nodded solemnly: "It's probably man-made. We've checked and there are no traces of weapons on any of the destroyed things."
Not even animal skins or anything.
The most important thing is: "There are several fist prints of different depths on the wall. We have measured them and found that they were made by the same person."
After hearing this, Qi Kang'an concluded: "According to what you have found, this inn will be destroyed because a person who is particularly powerful or has deep internal energy entered the inn.
Maybe he started to destroy it as soon as he entered it, or maybe he started to destroy it for some reason while living there.
In short, this person single-handedly destroyed this Ruoda inn and turned it into such a virtuous place?"
Is this person just too idle, or does he have other motives?
"By the way, is there blood in the inn?"
Fang Qi and Zheng Haoran looked at each other, and both of them sank.
Okay, needless to say.
Could it be possible that he encountered a vendetta by chance?
Zheng Haoran shook his head: "It is unlikely to be a vendetta. If it is really a vendetta, with such a powerful enemy, this person will not be an ordinary person, and he should not be slaughtered without any resistance."
But when they were in the inn, they found no trace of anyone resisting. There were blood stains everywhere in the lobby, as if everyone was driven into the lobby and then massacred.
At this time, a new soldier came in to report that the chief was looking for him.
The soldiers around Qi Kang'an were really new. After they had just been stationed, he was reminded by Fang Qi that he remembered that he must have four soldiers around him now.
The personal soldiers were also selected from the Shadowless Army 400 years ago, but this time Qi Kang'an did not choose them himself, he asked Fang Qi to help him choose them.
He had a good impression of the four hundred people. The Shadowless Army itself had carefully selected its people. He didn't have to worry about the Qilin Kingdom's loyalty and ability at all.
As for being loyal to him, he didn't worry at all. His daughter was there.
But it was precisely because they had similar abilities and qualities, and he didn't know them well, that it was difficult to choose.
The soldiers around the general have a greater chance of promotion, but the soldiers around the general also have a greater chance of dying than ordinary soldiers.
He still doesn't want to be a bad person anymore.
Yes, praying for health is so lacking in virtue.
As for Fang Qi, he still felt that the general trusted him and valued him.
The janissaries are the ones who protect the general's safety. The general actually gave him the choice of janissaries. This trust... he will follow the general from now on!
"Bad head? What's the matter?"
"Replying to the general, the messenger said that the prisoner Lin Chengyuan has something urgent and wants to see the general."
Lin Chengyuan??
I won’t be bullied anymore!
"Let the chief bring their father and daughter over."
"yes."
After the soldiers left, they continued to talk about the inn.
Prince Li was the first to speak: "If it is really man-made or done by an individual, this person is either crazy or under the instigation of others.
If it's a madman, it's fine, just kill it. But if it's someone who instigates it, who dares to attack the imperial inn now? What's his real purpose?"
In fact, everyone has guesses about some things, but they are just guesses. No one dares to speak out about such things without evidence.
Oh, no, there are still people who dare.
Qi Bao'er is a girl who is not afraid of anything, so she answered the words of Prince Li and said leisurely: "If only this inn is destroyed, it can be said to be an accident. If something happens to another inn down there, it must be Lingnan."
Something happened, and it's a big deal, and someone is blocking the news from reaching Beijing."
