The Imperial Prison of the Jinyiwei is located in the subordinate North Zhenfu Division.
The Northern Zhenfu Division was under the direct leadership of Lu Bing, the Commander of the Jinyiwei, which was the symbol of the highest power of the Jinyiwei. In the Ming Dynasty, if we talk about who has the most power in the Jinyiwei, it is not about who has the highest rank, but about who is in charge of the North Township Division. Whoever is in charge of the North Zhenfu Si is the actual controller of the Jinyiwei.
When Zhu Pingan arrived at the Northern Zhenfu Si Imperial Prison, most of the setting sun had already slowly fallen below the horizon.
Even though Zhu Pingan showed his fifth rank belt tag, the officer on duty at the Northern Township Prison was still obstructing Zhu Pingan after he learned that he had come to visit Yang Jisheng, until Zhu Pingan stuffed a small ingot of silver of about five taels, the officer only half-heartedly allowed Zhu Pingan to go in, but even so, only gave Zhu Pingan one incense burner of visitation time.
This was Zhu Pingan’s first time entering the Imperial Prison of Jin Yi Wei.
After entering the Imperial Prison, Zhu Pingan’s first feeling was darkness, the second feeling was coldness, and the third feeling was terror.
The Shun Tian Fu Jail that Zhu Ping An had been to before could be called a paradise when compared to the Northern Zhenfu Si Imperial Prison.
The Northern Zhenfu Si Imperial Prison could definitely be called hell.
Because it was built underground, or rather a semi-underground building, only the main door of the prison was built on the ground, the rest of the main structure was underground, a little bit of sunlight could not shine in, black was the main color inside.
Zhu Pingan entered the Imperial Prison of the Brocade Guards in the afterglow of a poorly lit sunset, not yet able to adapt to the darkness of the Imperial Prison, as soon as he entered the Imperial Prison, it was pitch black in front of his eyes, and it was only after squinting that he adapted to the dimness of the Imperial Prison.
Then, a burst of seeping cold from the ground ghostly attack, Zhu Pingan can not help but shiver.
Once inside the main gate of the Imperial Prison, there was a downward staircase that was very long and extended underground. Zhu Pingan was led by the jailer to walk down the steps, Zhu Pingan counted them, there were a total of sixty-eight steps.
After walking to the end of the steps, Zhu Pingan truly entered the Northern Zhenfu Si Imperial Prison.
Looking in through the eerie passageway.
This was a huge, complicated underground world that twisted and turned like a beehive, with one torture chamber and cell after another spread out amongst it. There were no windows in the Imperial Prison, not a single ray of natural light, and the light was dependent on weak candle flames and ointment lamps. The walls were made of lapis lazuli bricks, very thick and covered with damp moss.
As we walked down the passage, from time to time we could hear a mournful scream and the oozing sound of torture implements being added to the body. Each sound was more eerie and terrifying than the soundtrack of the world’s most horrific horror movie, poignant to the bone marrow.
“Ah ……I confess, I confess ……”
“Lord Zhao, don’t be in a hurry to confess, wait until I show you all of this set of cuties, it’s not too late for you to confess ……These can be my heart and soul work ah, come, come, come, this time we try this ‘little Ling Chi’. What do you mean by small lingchi? It is a localized lingchi that is different from ‘lingchi’. For example, the finger, huh, Mr. Zhao may wish to guess first, your this a small finger, I can peel how many knives it ……Secretly tell you ha, my master his old man’s highest record is a little finger sharpened 158 knives, you old guess me?”
“I move, I move ……Please, stop ……”
“Ta-Jen Zhao, look at you, you’re not behaving yourself again. Didn’t I just say, we’re not in a hurry to recruit……Anyone who enters our Northern Township Division Imperial Prison, there is no not recruited it, we rush what. Good boy, Mr. Zhao guess, guess how many knives I can cut?”
On the way through a torture room, such as the above conversation, mixed with oozing screams into the ears of Zhu Pingan, so that Zhu Pingan uncomfortable all over. Through the unclosed door of the torture room, Zhu Pingan saw the cloaked, ragged, and inhumanly shaped prisoner inside being executed by an elegant jailer ……
“Zhang Tu, shut the f*cking door tightly.”The jailer who guided Zhu Pingan forward seemed to be familiar with the elegant jailer being executed inside, probing his head and cursing in a greeting manner, and closing the door of the torture room tightly with his hand.
Then
The sound inside was completely isolated.
Zhang Tu?
I wonder if this is a nickname or a real name? Zhu Pingan thought casually in his mind.
“Oh, Lord Zhu, this way please.”
After doing this in a light manner, the jailer who led the way continued to guide Zhu Pingan forward.
After turning two corners and looking at dozens of cells in a hundred different states, the jailer who guided the way stopped and pointed to the narrow passage in front of him and said to Zhu Pingan, “Lord Zhu, follow this path inward, and the cell on the right in the inside is Yang Jisheng’s room. One incense stick time, only less, not more, otherwise I’m not good here.”
“Thank you, Head Li.”Zhu Pingan nodded and smoothly slipped a piece of broken silver to the jailer.
The king of hell was good, but the little ghosts were difficult to deal with. Zhu Pingan knew this truth, after coaxing these jailers, it would be easier for him to come back to the Imperial Prison to visit Master Yang in the future, in addition, Master Yang would be able to suffer relatively less here.
“Hehe, Lord Zhu is polite. It’s almost time, I’ll call you again.”With a skillful flip of his hand, the jailer shakes the broken silver into his sleeve, feeling the weight in his sleeve, the jailer’s face smiles like a flower.
Zhu Pingan smiled and arched his hand at the jailer, turning around and walking towards the passageway.
Huh?
There are other people inside?
As soon as he walked inside, he heard the voice of Senior Brother Yang conversing with another person from inside.
“Brother Yang, this body of yours has been severely injured, I’m afraid you’ll have to suffer the court cane in tomorrow’s court trial, I’m worried that your body won’t be able to hold up, this pair of snake galls, you save it for tomorrow before you go to the court trial and eat it, and wait until the court trial before you fight the court cane, so that you can minimize your suffering. This pot of wine, brother Yang, you keep it, and tomorrow you will eat the snake gall …….”
A man’s voice came from inside.
“Oh, thank you brother Wang kindly, this wine stays, this snake gall doesn’t need to stay. I Yang Jisheng nothing else, this gall is never lacking, I Yang Jisheng own gall, and how to use the snake gall.”
The words of the man in front of him just fell, Yang Jisheng’s bright voice, followed by the voice from inside.
This is a classic node of history.
Brother Wang, snake gall, I, Yang Jisheng, have the gall myself ……Zhu Pingan listened to the above conversation and knew in his heart that he had once again witnessed history.
“Brother Yang, you ……”
The man surnamed Wang was about to say something else when he heard footsteps coming from the aisle, and the words in his mouth came to an abrupt end.
Yang Jisheng’s voice also stopped.
“Senior Brother Yang, it’s me, Zhu Pingan.”Zhu Pingan explained, his footsteps not stopping as he walked over, first bowing to Yang Jisheng inside the cell, then to the man surnamed Wang, who was visiting the prisoner next to him.
“Zi Hou, why are you here?”Yang Jisheng was surprised, his heart was first touched, then worried that Zhu Pingan would be implicated by himself, so he stubbornly shook his head, “This is a place of wrongdoing, so go back quickly and don’t come in the future. I’m fine, there’s food and drink here, it’s fine.”
