Red Mansion Wind

Chapter 60: All sentient beings in the sky prison.

"Go and see for yourself. There are 670 people detained in the yamen, and they are all the masters who have caused troubles on the street several times."

Bo Renxi pointed at the Jingzhaoyin Prison expressionlessly. Zhou Xu looked around and saw a separate courtyard on the west side of the Jingzhaoyin Yamen. There are rows of iron nails on the spliced ​​gate. Through the gaps, you can see a main hall in the courtyard, and rows of wing rooms on both sides, each with seven or eight rooms.

The location of Jingzhaoyin Prison is very easy to find. In ancient times, the yamen usually faced north and south. Entering the yamen from the south gate, the lobby is directly in front, the office area of ​​the yamen is on the right, and the prison area is on the left. The orientation belongs to the west side.

Because the ancients believed in feng shui, the planning of the building should conform to the concept of destiny. According to the rules at this time, the star Pleiades was in charge of the prison. It should also be located on the west side of the county government.

Zhou Xu was lucky enough to come here once after he had a fight with someone who seriously injured the other party. He is familiar with this prison. The Yamen prison is divided into different prison areas that are independent of each other. At the top is the outer prison with relatively loose management. Criminals, such as fighting, thieves, etc., if there are too many cases in the Yamen, they have to line up for interrogation, and the captured prisoners are usually locked up there.

And he knew that there was an entrance under this yamen. They called the dungeon and heavy prison. The door to the dungeon was short and small. The next prison cell is estimated to be similar. There is a large kang in the prison cell that can accommodate several people. Just now, Bo Renxi said that there are more than 1000 people. One can imagine how crowded it is.

"Go and see for yourself, I still have official business to deal with."

Bringing Zhou Xu to the door, Bo Renxi left with a stinky face, Zhou Xu was speechless.

Didn't it mean that Guan Jing Zhaoyin asked for a few million bits and pieces of land, and when he was called back, he knew that today's business was over. Bo Renxi must really want to get rid of this large group of people who are wasting food, even if it's the beginning of spring for one meal a day. Not a small expense, Zhou Xu took the opportunity to blackmail Bo Renxi, asking him to give this group of people a place to use as his new government office.

Jing Zhaoyin is not only in charge of the big and small affairs of the capital, but also the vacant houses and lands are under their jurisdiction. Hearing that Zhou Xu didn't want a small yard, he wanted a large place that could accommodate at least 3000 people, so Bo Renxi rejected it on the spot. Such a big house Ownership can only be decided by the emperor, but Zhou Xu can't play tricks no matter what, so he can only use his trump card in the end.

The inscription was written by the emperor himself. It turned out that Zhou Xu dragged Dai Quan back to the emperor that day, hoping to get the calligraphy from the emperor. As a matter of fact, I really inscribed a plaque of Zhenfusi on him.

Now that Shang Fang's sword came out, Bo Renxi had no choice but to think about it. There was an abandoned horse market in the north of the city. The venue was big enough to accommodate Zhou Xu's request, and he did not exceed it. Zhou Xu agreed immediately.

Well, Fusi Beizhen came out.

"This old man is a bit stingy, so let him take advantage of it, it seems like he has robbed him of a lot of money."

Looking at Bo Renxi's back, Zhou Xu complained, the old Wang on one side had an awkward smile on his head, and the two yamen servants beside him pretended not to hear, he asked for ten acres of land with just one mouth, this is the capital city! Didn't he steal the old man's money? Seeing Zhou Xu's appearance, the old king quickly flattered him: "Captain Zhou, I'll call you the door~"

"Second Lu, Boss Zhang, open the door!"

"Who is yelling in the early morning of prison bag, huh? Old Wang, what are you doing here to change shift?"

The yamen servants in the yard heard the voice and saw that it was the old Wangtou of the yamen who immediately cursed. Seeing that it was the old Wangtou, they thought it was the servants who came to change shifts. They were on duty all night last night, waiting for someone to change shifts.

"Whatever shift I take, someone else will take your place"

The old Wangtou pointed to the two yamen servants on Zhou Xu's side, and then pointed to Zhou Xu and said, "Open the door quickly, this is Du Yuhou of the new yamen of the imperial court, he is coming to pick up the prisoner~"

The two yamen servants, Erzhang monk, couldn't figure it out, new yamen?Take the prisoner away?
Could it be that the imperial court has set up some other yamen for criminals and prisons? Although there are some rotten people here, there is no need for interrogation. At most, they will be released after two months of detention, and they will be confiscated and detained for repeat offenders. The head doesn't care whether they want to understand it or not, but urges the two to open the door, so as to send this master away as soon as possible, and it feels uncomfortable to be with him.

The door of the cell courtyard opened, and the old Wang ran over with a smile on his face.

"Captain Zhou, please~"

"Just call me Du Yuhou, don't call me Zhou Dudu again, I'm not that handsome~"

Zhou Xu felt a little embarrassed when he heard his name. Is Zhou Dudu an ordinary person? Unfortunately, there are no Three Kingdoms in this world, and there is no Zhou Meilang. The old Wang scratched his head and didn't know what the Dudu and Shuai are. relation.

Han Wu entered the compound on the side Zhou Xu, and there is a small prison temple on the left side of the gate, which enshrines the prison god. When the prisoner enters the prison and before the sentence is executed, he must worship the prison god and pray for the protection or forgiveness of the god. Looking at the ashes inside, someone should pay tribute from time to time.

"This, my lord, I don't know if the prisoners you want have names?"

The two yamen servants on duty are strong spirits, and the two successors have already gone to the upper and lower cells for inspection, and they can hand over after confirming that they are correct, so they will ask Zhou Xu first to bring the prisoner out and show his face in front of the new yamen chief.

But what Zhou Xu said stunned the two of them.

"all!"

"Ah all! All!?"

No matter how surprised and confused the two of them were, Zhou Xu went to the wing room and took a quick look inside. The cell used to house only a dozen people, but now it is packed to the brim. I wrapped my body in some straw, and when I saw someone came to take a look at it, it was a young man, and they all huddled together and fell asleep.

It's not that they don't want to watch the excitement, it's that they really don't have the energy to spend energy on it. They ate one meal for a few days, and everyone was hungry like something, so how could they have the energy to watch the excitement.

"Du Yuhou, the ones locked up here are the honest and obedient ones, the old and the weak, and the strong ones who like to make trouble are locked up below~"

Old man Wang took Zhou Xu to the dungeon again. Zhou Xu didn't notice it just now when he was in the empty space above, but just as he went down the steps of the dungeon, he was dazzled by a stench and almost vomited out.

The people in the first cell heard the movement, and someone opened the door to look out, and saw a young son, holding his nose, walking into the dungeon, followed by several people, and one of them took a closer look before realizing that it was not Han Wu ?

"Po Han Wu, did you come in too?"

"Hey, blind man, no wonder you are called blind. I didn't see that he was well-dressed. He obviously made a fortune. That's the same as our buddies~"

"Look at Han Wu, he looks like a dog. Could it be that he sold his ass?"

"Hahahaha!!~"

When someone said this, the cell suddenly burst into laughter. This group of people can still pretend to be like this when they are hungry, but imagine what they look like in the barracks.

It's a pity that they provoked the wrong person, thinking that Zhou Xu's fine skin was tender and fleshy, but the nonsense person just now was about to say some nonsense words to gamble, when they saw a sole of a shoe imprinted on his face.

"what!!!"

Zhou Xu kicked that man so badly, glanced at the smoky, stinky dungeon, and said to the old Wang in a vicious voice: "From now on, these people belong to me. Give me three meals a day for the ones above, and not a grain of rice or a drop of water for the ones below without my permission!"
