Mrs. Prime Minister

Chapter 208
That afternoon, Feng Lanjin took Yun Qing to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Jumping off the carriage, Zijin who followed immediately held up an oil-paper umbrella. Through the swaying rain curtain, Yun Qing narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched the prison of the Criminal Ministry not far away. She took the wheelchair from Mo Xuan's hand With the oil-paper umbrella in He Zijin's hand, he gently pushed the wheelchair while walking.

"When did you open those joints?"

"Just these two days."

Feng Lanjin smiled slightly, without further explanation.

Originally, he brought her here after the palace banquet, but he didn't know that there would be a mistake, so he waited until now, especially when he saw some small changes after she woke up, maybe even she didn't notice it, but he saw it. clear.Yun Yun's death untied a lot of knots in her heart, and she looked like a fog blown away by the wind, revealing her original posture.

He was very happy to see such a change, so he hoped that she could completely open her heart and stop thinking about the past.

The guards in front of the prison didn't show any surprise when they saw Feng Lanjin's arrival, they just trot over respectfully, and then showed Feng Lanjin and the two of them the way.

"Adults, please follow the villains."

Feng Lanjin nodded, and Yun Qing pushed her to the door of the dungeon, while Zijin, Mo Xuanyi and the others stood guard outside the door.

The dark dungeon was unusually damp, and the dim corridors had only a small fire burning on the gray walls, and bursts of rotten stench came oncoming.A cloud of gray rushed past with a "whoosh" in the dim corridor.

"Hiss—" Yun Qing's pupils shrank, and she took a breath, exerting a little force on the wheelchair pusher in her palm, and her fingertips hurt slightly.

Such a scene is too familiar, and she is even more familiar with this smell.

That gloomy and damp cold palace back then... cockroaches and mice crawling all over the ground...

Yun Qing slightly closed her eyes.

"Don't be afraid." Feng Lanjin mistakenly thought that Yunqing was afraid of mice, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He forgot that there are always such messy things in the prison. Mice are relatively common, because the cell is dark and damp. There is only one small window in the small cells behind the simple wooden railings. The window hangs high, almost as high as the roof, so it is difficult for the wind to blow in on weekdays, and such a place is what some small animals prefer. Yes, so sometimes even leeches and poisonous snakes can be seen.

Thinking of this, Feng Lanjin kept his eyes on his feet in case anything else appeared.

The cell guard at the side broke into a cold sweat when he saw it. He secretly looked at Feng Lanjin's expression, and was relieved when he saw that he had no sign of anger. He explained, "The cell is cleaned every day, but The Prime Minister also knows that since those locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are all vicious and insane people, no one will go in after the cleaning, just to prevent these people from escaping."

Feng Lanjin nodded. There are not many soldiers guarding the prisoners in the Criminal Department, but there are several or even a dozen prisoners living in a cell, so it is inevitable to be more careful.

The corridor was very long, and Feng Lanjin and Yun Qing could only hear the muffled sound of wheelchairs rubbing against the ground as they walked all the way. Although there were many prisoners in the cell, seeing Feng Lanjin and Yun Qing dressed in fancy clothes, one by one They all moved their bodies and looked at the two of them with wary or vigilant or curious eyes, but no one made a sound.

Usually, it is impossible for people from rich and noble families to enter and leave the prison at will, because most of the prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of punishment are of the type who are sure to die, so even if they have money, they may not be able to come in. Who knows if you have something to do with the people in the prison? involve?Therefore, most people look far away from the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and there will be some awe in their hearts, but the two people in front of them are all noble and full of aura, turning a blind eye to the filth and simplicity of the prison, and even more The people guarding the cell came to guide them, which proved that the two people in front of them were not only rich, but also very powerful.In the cell, there were people with ragged clothes but good eyesight who narrowed their eyes slightly, thinking about the purpose of Feng Lanjin and the others coming to the cell.

Feng Lanjin naturally didn't take these people's thoughts into consideration, he was pushed forward by Yun Qing with a sullen face, and when he reached the end of the corridor, the person leading the way finally listened.

At the end of the corridor is a simple torture room, with a few more oil lamps lit than at the corridor, which looks a little brighter. The walls are covered with various types of torture instruments, and the cross wooden frame attached to the wall is even more beautiful. It is unusually conspicuous.

Yun Qing stopped to look at the cross, and suddenly remembered the Mrs. Leng who was next to Da Furen before. He was nailed to the cross by Yun Chang back then.

Next to the cross was a small, simple square table. On the table was a jar of white wine filled with red-gray ceramic glaze. The wine had a strong smell, which mixed with all the smells in the cell, making it very disgusting.

Seeing the jailer leading the way, the eyes of the two young guards lit up, and they said with a smile, "Hey? Brother, you are here too, come and have a drink, this is the burning knife bought by the old Zhang's family on Jingxi Street. It tastes good enough." As they spoke, the two young jailers each touched a bowl of wine, and poured it down into their mouths.The jailer who led the way turned pale when he saw it.

The two young guards didn't pay attention to Feng Lanjin and Yun Qing at all, because since they came to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they must either come to ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice to do things, or to deal with some people, so there must be something to ask them , and will ask them to keep a secret, and usually give a very generous reward.

The jailer leading the way yelled loudly at the two little jailers, "You two bastards, hurry up and see the Prime Minister!" The warning was full of meaning, and he secretly winked at the two little jailers.

The two young guards shook their hands, and they didn't even know that the wine in the bowl had spilled.Their bodies paused and the calmness just now disappeared, their eyes widened with disbelief in their eyes, seeing the tense and pale face of the jailer leading the way, the two trembled and hurriedly overturned the wine bowls. Gu Lu fell to his knees on the ground.

"Subordinates see the prime minister."

Feng Lanjin's face was gloomy, and he rubbed the armrest of the wheelchair lightly. There was no expression of joy or anger on his face. He remained silent and did not speak.

Therefore, there was a brief oppressive silence in the cell.

The cheeks of the three jailers were cold, and the sweat from their foreheads almost dripped into their eyes, but they dared not move, let alone wipe them off.

After a long while, Feng Lanjin waved his arms and said calmly, "Get up. Everyone will go get ten boards later, and say I ordered them."

"Thank you, Master Xiang, for your mercy."

Only then did the two dare to wipe the cold sweat off their faces with their sleeves.

"Go and get Liu, the wife of Minister of the Ministry of War, who is being imprisoned in the cell."

"Subordinates obey."

The two jailers breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated, not daring to ask why Feng Lanjin wanted to see Mrs. Liu.

The two soon brought Mrs. Liu who was wearing a white prison uniform. Mrs. Liu was carried forward by two jailers. She struggled vigorously and looked at the huge cross with a deep sense of fear in her eyes. .

"No, you let me go, let me go!" Liu shrank her pupils and screamed desperately, "You can't punish me, I am the younger sister of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and my daughter is about to marry His Highness the Crown Prince , I will be the crown princess soon, if you dare to punish me, His Highness the crown prince will kill you, definitely!"

On a different day, the two guards would have cold-eyed and cursed and started the torture, but today, seeing Mrs. Liu's disheveled appearance, the cold drink that she almost spit out just now was swallowed down her throat. What's the purpose of coming to Liu's, so he didn't dare to make a sound for a while.

The two put Mrs. Liu on the ground, lowered their heads and narrowed their eyes, "Master, I have brought you here." They were very careful when they put Mrs. Liu on the ground, because the two of them suddenly remembered that the wedding of the young prime minister Feng Lanjin had spread all over the world. Throughout the entire capital, isn't that the daughter of the Liu family who married into the Feng family as the prime minister's wife?Although she is not her biological daughter, she has been raised after all. Could it be that the prime minister came here to take care of Mrs. Liu?

Thinking of this, the two of them looked at each other with a bit of fear in their eyes. There was no other reason. At this moment, Mrs. Liu's body was covered with scars, and her white prison uniform had already been dyed a disgusting yellow. What kind of filth was stained on it, the prison uniform can be said to be uncloakable, and the marks of whip marks on her body are quite shocking. Her body has soil-stained black and disgusting yellow, plus blood-red blood. , has already made her look embarrassed.

And her hair didn't know how long it had been without washing, and strands of it were sticky together, and she could still smell the rotten stench emanating from her body when she got closer.

Just when the two guards were anxious and worried that Feng Lanjin would punish them, Feng Lanjin suddenly waved his sleeves, "You all step back first." After a pause, he continued, "Pull the wooden door."

The small torture room is connected to the cell, but it can also become an independent space, because there is a wooden door made of thick door panels, which can separate the space from the outside.

There is also a reason for this design.

If the prisoner in the cell is disobedient, he can push the door panel open, and then pull a prisoner to torture under the eyes of all the prisoners, which can deter others.

"Yes, Master Xiang!" The three jailers looked at each other and retreated with a sigh of relief.

At this time, Mrs. Liu on the side saw Yun Qing and Feng Lanjin. Yun Qing looked at the embarrassed Liu with a cold sneer. She squatted on the ground looking at her frightened eyes, and suddenly smiled.

That smile was like Shura walking out of the Hall of Yama, with evil and murderous aura all over his body, Liu's body suddenly trembled uncontrollably.

He heard the devil-like voice lingering in the empty torture chamber.With the various instruments of torture in the torture room and the hot iron burning in the stove, it looks even more eerie.

"Mr. Liu, we can finally settle the score thoroughly..."
