The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

On the second day, after Gu Yuzhi completed all the studies arranged in the morning, he got into a very low-key carriage and swayed towards the prefect's prison.

There was no way. Ever since he was recognized by the people when he appeared in Changzhou Mansion some time ago, many people had set up stalls around Wen Mansion. As long as they saw Gu Yuzhi's exclusive carriage coming out, they would definitely follow him in a swarm.

It was like this when we sent the guards and the others away yesterday. Not long after they went out, they were caught up by the people. They were so frightened that Xie Changshi had to go around in a long circle before getting rid of them.

Gu Yuzhi sat in the pony carriage and moved a little uncomfortably, then rested his chin with his hand in great melancholy.

He secretly opened the curtain and looked outside. As soon as the simple carriage came out, the people just raised their heads and glanced, and then everyone went about their own business.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said in a small voice: "Although the carriage is not very comfortable, it still has advantages. At least it will not be discovered by the people."

Gu Yuzhi patted the seat of the carriage again, with a hint of disgust on his face.

Xie Changshi lowered his eyes and thought, as long as His Highness has not officially moved into Xinliang, this carriage will be used frequently.

He also whispered: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will have the carriage remodeled when I get back. I will make sure you can sit comfortably next time."

Gu Yuzhi nodded his head and gave Xie Changshi a thumbs up. Then he opened the curtain and carefully looked at the busy street.

The carriage turned a corner, and not far ahead was the prefect's Yamen.

Perhaps for this reason, there are no stalls on this street starting from the street entrance. It seems a bit quiet, which is in sharp contrast to the lively street behind it.

Gu Yuzhi puffed up his face and thought to himself that in the future, he would not prohibit people from setting up stalls at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion. He liked the excitement.

After a while, they arrived in front of the magistrate's office. Magistrate Qi had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw this extremely simple carriage stopping, he was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

He took a step forward and was about to hold Gu Yuzhi's hand when he saw him holding one hand on the shaft of the car and jumped out with a hey.

Gu Yuzhi clapped his hands: "Hello, Prefect Qi!"

Magistrate Qi instantly remembered that His Highness was learning martial arts with Guard Qi and the others. He put away his surprised eyes and whispered: "Your Highness, the prison is behind the Yamen. Please move."

Gu Yuzhi was full of curiosity about every place he had never seen before. After entering the gate of the magistrate, he blinked his big eyes and looked around, listening to the magistrate Qi explaining to himself what was here and what was done there.

Seeing the prefect's Yamen, which he had only heard of before, unfolding in front of him bit by bit, Gu Yuzhi instantly understood what Xie Changshi said, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

Go around to the back of the Yamen, then cross a path, and soon you will see the prison.

There was a guard holding a knife standing at the door of the prison. The door was made of heavy steel and looked heavy.

As soon as the guard pushed the door open, Gu Yuzhi looked up and saw the darkness inside the prison, with gusts of cold wind blowing over him.

Gu Yuzhi swallowed hard, feeling that there was a big monster hiding in this prison that could eat him in one bite!

He took a half-step without leaving a trace, moved closer to Xie Changshi, stretched out his hand to tug on his sleeve, and felt much more at ease.

Magistrate Qi led the way. Gu Yuzhi was not squinting, but kept looking at the cells on both sides with his peripheral vision. There were many people locked up inside. When he saw them coming in, some people walked over excitedly and stood on the railing to watch them. .

A man who was dirty and looked like a beggar suddenly stretched out his hand toward them, showing his yellow teeth, and shouted: "Child, come here quickly, kid, I have delicious food here." He was like this As soon as he shouted, the people in the other cells laughed evilly. When they walked to the railing, they started laughing weirdly and kept shouting like children.

Gu Yuzhi's face looked a little ugly, but he didn't feel that these prisoners were afraid.

The people who will be locked up here are all bad guys, so he won't be afraid!

On the contrary, Gu Yuzhi felt that this place was safe when he thought that there were so many people here who had not been eaten by the monsters in his imagination.

At this moment, the jailer who was escorting them inside whipped out his whip and whipped it towards the people who were making the most noise. He pointed at them and said fiercely: "Go back and sit down. If anyone doesn't sit down, , without food for three days.”

In the past, they would have picked out the troublemakers and beaten them up. There was no need to persuade them like this!

But perhaps the power of hunger was greater. As soon as the jailer finished speaking, the leaders sat back obediently.

Except for the person who first started calling Gu Yuzhi, his eyes were still fixed on Gu Yuzhi, his eyes were sinister and provocative, like a poisonous snake spitting out words, although he was ready to bite you.

Xie Changshi glanced at Gu Yuzhi and stopped suddenly when he saw that his back was straight and he was walking forward step by step with Qi Zhifu.

In the surprised eyes of the jailers, Xie Changshi suddenly pulled out a dagger, pulled the man's head and pressed it against the railing. The dagger quickly inserted into his left eye, and then punched him unconscious and blocked him. He heard the wail that was about to burst out of his mouth.

No one expected that this seemingly gentle man would suddenly become angry, nor did they expect that his methods would be so ruthless.

When Magistrate Qi heard the noise, he turned his head and glanced, and immediately winked at the jailers. One of the jailers opened the cell and dragged the man to another place.

He himself stood behind Gu Yuzhi, careful not to let him discover any clues.

Xie Changshi took care of the blood splattered on his face and then followed him. At this time, Gu Yuzhi was already standing outside the prison where Li Yanping's confidants were imprisoned.

Li Yanping's confidants are the focus of interrogation. Generally speaking, such people will be hanged directly in the execution room.

However, due to years of interrogation, the blood in the torture room could not be washed away with water. Coupled with the torture instruments, Guard Qi was really afraid of scaring His Highness.

So from the day he was picked up yesterday until now, this confidant is fine and completely lying in the cage next to the execution room.

Except for being given medicine and kept in a comatose state, he was no different from other prisoners.

As soon as Magistrate Qi stopped, the jailer immediately moved a chair over and Gu Yuzhi sat down on it.

The jailer then opened the door and went in. Without saying anything, he poured a bucket of cold water down first.

Xie Changshi explained in a low voice: "Early this morning, I asked someone to stop taking the medicine. After these few hours, he should be awake."

As for why he didn't wake up, it was either because he was injured or he was just pretending.

In short, no matter which one it is, a basin of cold water can solve the problem!
