The Imperial Prison of the Northern Zhenfu Division of the Jin Yi Wei.
This is not the first time that Zhu Ping An has come here, last time when he visited his senior brother Yang Jisheng, Zhu Ping An had come here once. This time, Zhu Ping An revisited the place as a “stayer”, and his feelings were even deeper.
Outside, the sun was high in the sky, but inside the prison, it was pitch black.
When Zhu Pingan stepped into the Imperial Prison, he closed his eyes in a very experienced manner, and opened his eyes after entering the prison, and quickly adapted to the darkness of the Imperial Prison. The faint candle flames and ointment lamps above the nine winding prison paths jumped up and down and left and right irregularly like ghost flames under the impact of the air currents.
Inside the prison is dark and damp, coolness seeps through the bones, oozing screams like ghosts crying from inside the prison overlapping.
Water and fire could not enter the prison, and the plague filled the prison.
Zhu Pingan silently counted the steps, escorted by the brocade guards, picking up the steps, silently counting to sixty-eight, his feet officially stepped into the imperial prison.
“Hehe, Zhu Pingan, after entering this imperial prison, what do you think?”The big red flying fish suit brocade guard puts on a host posture and asks with a sinister smile, his raspy, jackal-like voice echoing within the prison path.
What?
Want to see me laugh, Zhu Pingan slightly pulled the corner of his mouth, “Feelings?”
The big red flying fish suit brocade guard looked at Zhu Pingan with interest, as if looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.
“The feeling is ……”Zhu Pingan said this, paused, took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Repent, huh, too late, the corner of the mouth of the big red flying fish suit brocade guard curved up a touch of arc. Oh, this kind of people themselves have seen a lot, not before entering the imperial prison, one by one, hard as anything, into the imperial prison.
“The feeling is ……”After Zhu Pingan paused here for a second, his closed eyes suddenly opened, his eyes were sunny, and the corners of his mouth hooked up in an arc, “There’s capital for bragging in the future.”
“Huh?”
The big red flying fish suit brocade guard couldn’t help but freeze at his words, not keeping up with Zhu Pingan’s heavenly rhythm.
“This is the Imperial Prison of the Northern Zhenfu Division of the Brocade Guards, with a long history and high visibility, veritably the first prison in the world. In the future, when I drink and blow than again, I can leisurely sentence ‘brother I squatted in the imperial prison back then’, I think I can definitely bluff a lot of people ……”
Zhu Pingan eyes gleaming, in the darkness like two bonfires in the thorn bushes, swept around the imperial prison, talking with a little bit of excitement on his face.
Whether it is ancient or modern, squatting in prison has always been the capital of bragging, say a sentence that year I was in prison how how, you are the most powerful, the most beautiful boy on this table, no one.
Listening to the feelings of Zhu Pingan, the corners of the mouth of the big red flying fish suit brocade guards are a little twitchy.
Toad padded table leg, you just tough it out ……The Big Red Flying Fish Suit Brocade Guard looked at Zhu Pingan sorrowfully, there will be a time for you to cry in the future, humph, at that time, I’ll enjoy admiring your snotty and lousy appearance.
“Zhu Pingan, please.”
After being escorted up and down an unknown distance, Zhu Pingan was “invited” into a geometrical snail cell, shattering Zhu Pingan’s fantasy of being neighbours with his senior brother Yang Jisheng.
In fact, Zhu Pingan knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to be neighbours with his senior brother Yang Jisheng.
So after the fantasy was shattered, Zhu Pingan was not too disappointed, just a little regretful.
After the Big Red Flying Fish Suit Brocade Guards and their party who had had enough of sneering left, Zhu Pingan took a large amount of time to look up this cramped and damp cell.
Geometrically snail diving, cold and damp, this cell he was in was no better than his senior brother Yang Jisheng’s cell.
The moss on the corners of the walls was like patches, one in the east and one in the west, telling of the raggedness and dampness of the cell. I don’t know if it’s seepage or undercurrent or what, but there are two or three places that are wet and dripping with water drops at a frequency of about a minute. The floor was a muddy mess with not many dry spots.
Inside the cell there were no tables or chairs, no beds or bedding, just a pile of half-dried thatch.
The most inward corner of the wall, a piece of life, I do not know whether it is cockroaches or what bugs, a pile of wriggling, if there is a dense phobia, see this scene of goosebumps will certainly have to get up.
Luckily, I don’t have a dense phobia.
Zhu Pingan pulled the corner of his mouth, then found a dry place, picked out the hay from the half-dry thatch pile, and used the thatch to make a simple bed for himself.
“Well, not bad.”
Looking at the fruits of his labour, Zhu Pingan clapped his hands, smiled with satisfaction, and sat down on his butt.
“Ahem, young boy, which one are you? How did you come into this imperial prison?”
While Zhu Pingan was sitting on the thatched bunk in self-satisfaction, an old man’s enquiring voice came from the side.
Zhu Pingan looked up, followed the voice, and saw an old man in the next cell who was over sixty years old with grey hair looking at him with a curious and inquisitive face.
The old man was indeed curious, his eyes looking at Zhu Pingan were full of doubt, and there was sympathy and hugging on his face.
This Imperial Prison was not an ordinary prison. The word “诏” highlights its difference. After the Qin King Ying Zheng swept the six kingdoms and unified the country, when he asked his ministers to discuss the establishment of a name, the ministers suggested that the Son of Heaven should call himself “朕”, and “命为’制’, and 令为’诏'” (order as ‘system’, and order as ‘诏’). The word “imperial edict” reflects the close connection between this prison and the imperial order. Can be locked up in this prison inside the imperial edict, are generally required by the emperor under the imperial edict system prison cases. The cases that can make the emperor issue an imperial decree are generally the nine ministers, county guards of the first level of the two thousand stone dignitaries, or officials who have offended the emperor, or criminals who are extremely vicious and full of evil.
However, the old man looked at Zhu Pingan’s young age, even looked less than the age of the weak crown, long is also simple and thick, with a bookish atmosphere, does not look like a vicious person ah. Therefore, very curious about how Zhu Pingan was put into the imperial prison.
Looking at the attitude of that Jinyiwei Qianhu treating Zhu Pingan just now, it was obviously targeted.
Could it be that the Brocade Guards were using it for personal vendetta? Public weapons for private use?
Outrageous!
If that’s the case, then old me will have to submit a report and impeach them properly.
“Greetings, boss man, boy Zhu Pingan.”Zhu Pingan got up and bowed back.
“Zhu Pingan?!”
After hearing Zhu Pingan’s name, the boss man seemed a bit familiar, after repeating it, his body trembled with obvious excitement, and the sympathy and hugging on his face disappeared in an instant, his beard blew, and he blew his beard and glared at Zhu Pingan across the cell, grabbing the grill, “You, you’re the one that deceived the heaven, Zhu Pingan!”
Ahem ……
The Zhu Pingan who deceived the heavens?
Zhu Pingan couldn’t help but cough when he heard the boss man’s words, how did he talk about himself as if he was a great traitor who was unforgivable.
