Chapter 205 Water Ghost Prison

"What are you shouting about? What are you shouting about? You think you are in your back garden!" The two jailers rushed in aggressively and slapped the door vigorously with their scabbards, and the dust above the fence shook down.

Qin Mubai was waiting to say a few words to Chen Yan, and was interrupted for a moment. The cell where Chen Yan is located is far away, and the light in the prison can't see her face clearly.

It's just that voice, and I will never admit my mistake!

"To be honest, don't cross your head and ears in the cell, otherwise it's uncomfortable to drag it to the iron prison and be detained alone!" The jailer roared a few words loudly at Qin Mubai and Li Ke, siped with hatred, and cursed and left.

Qin Mubai and Li Ke gave each other a look and sat down separately. Chen Yan didn't say anything on that side.

The two understood and walked to the other prisoners in their cells and asked by cliché.

"Brother, look at your situation, it should have been locked inside for a long time, right?" Qin Mubai asked a unkempt and skinny prisoner sitting in the corner of the wall.

The prisoner didn't move. He turned over like a dead fish and his eyes were as cold as ice and glanced at Qin Mubai without saying anything.

Qin Mubai thought for a moment and said, "I have friends in the government. If my friend comes to see me later, I can ask him to tell the prison to treat you kindly and get you some delicious food. Talk to me as long as you want.

"say." The prisoner was a little energetic, licked his dry lips, and whispered hoarsely.

"How did you get caught? How long have you been locked up here?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Last autumn, the water ghost on the other side of the West River overturned several official ships that paid grain tax. For a moment, I was greedy and secretly picked up a few bags of food, and I was arrested as a water ghost. The prisoner said, "The people locked up in this cell are mostly people related to water ghosts. Isn't that how you came in?"

Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Dozens of people in this cell are all related to the water ghost case?"

"Yes. But I promise that no one is a real water ghost. The prisoner said.

"Why?" Qin Mubai asked in surprise.

"Humph!" The prisoner sneered, "Because they either can't catch the real water ghost or they don't want to catch it. I had to arrest some innocent people to plead guilty. He was imprisoned in prison for several months and a half months, and then the hall was released before the autumn.

"Catch it and put it?" Qin Mubai said puzzledly, "Why did they do this?"

"It's very simple! Xiangzhou has been haunted by water ghosts for so many years, and it can't be clean if any assassin comes. But we can't suppress it. If you can't catch the water ghost, just grab some people into the cell. It's best if you can make a trick; if you can't, it's okay to catch the wrong person. Anyway, the officials above checked it, and they also did something and didn't eat idle food for nothing, did they? The prisoner cursed anly and in a low voice, "Dog officials have long been used to doing this!" Whoever is unlucky will be caught as a water ghost. We locals know that if we come in, we can at least go out alive. If we can't be beaten, we will really have to be stabbed in Qiu Hou. Young man, I think you are also a son of a rich family, but don't stand the torture - okay, that's all I said. Get me a fat chicken and a pot of good wine later!"

"This is easy to say." Qin Mubai paused and asked again, "The woman in the middle is the one who just talked to us, do you know?"

"I know, I know! Who doesn't know her? She is famous. She is said to be a real water ghost!" The prisoner was still a little nervous and said in a low voice with fear, "When listening to the prisoners scolding, the woman killed more than a dozen people on the river in one breath, and the whole river was going to be dyed red. If it hadn't been for the state government, it would have spent a lot of effort to catch her. Oh, it was disgusting when she was caught in. She was covered with a black cloth bag on her head, and she was bleeding all over. Three or five men caught her, and it took a lot of effort. It is said that this female water ghost has the ability to kill a chicken! The prisoners all call her a female demon and a night fork!"

Qin Mubai was a little blocked when he heard it - Chen Yan is a water ghost in the West River Trough, can't she?!

"Why hasn't such a repeat offender of such a serious case been handed over to the Chang'an Ministry of Criminal Justice?" Qin Mubai asked.

"How do I know? I'm not an official!" The prisoner said, "Maybe it's because the new governor hasn't taken office yet... Well, don't ask me so much. That's all I know. Remember, you can only have chicken and a pot of good wine, and it's better to have a stewed mutton tripe..."

After asking, Qin Mubai returned to the previous position close to the prison and communicated with Li Ke. The news that the two of them learned was about the same.

"In this way, the government office of Xiangzhou has been used to inaction and prevaricate for years." Li Ke said anxiously, "It's really strange that there are such a bad gangsters in such a peaceful and prosperous era!"

"It is inevitable that the forest of a forest is mixed with good and bad, and the sea is full of mud and sand, and it is not strange." Qin Mubai frowned and said, "The water ghosts in the West River Trough are so lawless that they must be exterminated; before that, we have more things to do."

"Not bad. It's really beyond my expectation that the generals in Xiangzhou are so corrupt and incompetent! I don't believe it. With the power of a state government, I can't deal with a few water ghosts? It is clear that someone deliberately opened the door of convenience and colluded with each other. Li Ke said, and a sharp saying flashed in his eyes, as if he had a murderous intent, "Don't be found out by me, or you won't be able to forgive him!"

"What if... like Jiangzhou, is it a group of officials who commit crimes?" Qin Mubai shook his head with a wry smile, "In my opinion, Xiangzhou has almost become a common phenomenon. Both the government and the military government have some condoning and condoning for water ghosts. There must be interests between them. As long as this is clear, it is not difficult to solve the problem from the root cause.

"It's reasonable." Li Ke nodded with deep thought, "This trip is really rewarding - by the way, why did Chen Yan become a water ghost?"

"I don't know either!" Qin Mubai frowned with a sigh of relief, "I can't believe all the words of the prisoner and the prisoner. I am convinced that Chen Yan is not such a person. How can she become a evil water ghost? Just wait until you go out and find out the matter. At least you have to give her justice!"

Li Ke smiled slightly: "You seem to be very nervous and a little distressed?"

Qin Mubai was stunned, turned his back against the wooden pillar of the prison door, and ignored him.

"Haha!" Li Ke smiled strangely, "You are really desperate. You can meet your confidant even if you come to prison!"

"Bangbang-"

The jailer rushed in again, knocked on the prison post and roared, "Are you really going to beg for death? Do you believe that I will throw you into the secret room of the iron cell now to suffer a living crime?

Li Ke curled his lips and sat down with his hands on his chest without saying anything, but he still giggled at Qin Mubai.

After a long time, the light in the cell became darker and darker, and it was about night. The jailer came to deliver the food, and several hard steamed buns that could smash people's heads were thrown in and fell directly into the haystack. Despite the hunger, Qin Mubai and others could not eat such a pig's ignored diet, so they only drank some water and gave the steamed buns to other prisoners.

"I guess it's time for Quan Wanji and his party to go to the Assassin's Mansion." Li Ke leaned his head against the wall, licked his lips and touched his stomach. "I'm really hungry..."

Qin Mubai made fun of him and said, "Well, I can't stand this sin and can't play anymore, can I? The private visit of Weifu came to the cell. It was smelly, dirty and hungry. Isn't it good? Ha ha!"

Li Ke grinned angrily and embarrassedly: "That's right. Don't eat a good banquet and hide in this prison. I'm really full... Er! As soon as I said eating words, my stomach cooed.

Xue Rengui and others laughed. Yuwen Hongtai couldn't stand it for a long time. He sat up and shook the prison door and roared, "Prison! Dog | Mother's prison, call your sman-in-law!"

The whole cell seemed to tremble slightly, and many people couldn't help covering their ears.

Yuwen Hongtai still shouted and shook hard, but there was no half of the prison to pay attention to him. He was annoyed. He rushed to the prison door with his black bear-like body and hit it seven or eight times in a row. Unexpectedly, he really hit the iron bolt nail of the prison door loosely. With force, he removed the whole prison door.

"Hahaha!" Yuwen Hongtai shouted proudly, "Open, open!" Go out and find a restaurant. It's delicious!"

The prisoners were stunned, and now many people began to shout: "Heroes, heroes! Let us out, too!"

Originally, he didn't think that Yuwen Hongtai could do anything, but now Li Ke was also shocked and hurriedly stretched out his hand and called, "Yuwen Hongtai, come and sit down! Originally innocent, you are now attacking the prison and escaping. Like colliding with the government, it is a felony of killing the head and exile!"

Qin Mubai also smiled and said, "Heizi, why don't you be righteous and rush out of the cell to get some good wine and vegetables and come back and let's eat together?"

"Uh..." Yuwen Hongtai was stunned, hurriedly threw the prison door and sat back, and scolded, "I still want to stay for a few more days. In case it is cut, it won't grow again."

"Haha!" Everyone burst into laughter, and there was laughter in the cell.

Li Ke said with a wry smile, "Well, it's okay to let you make some noise. Maybe someone will recognize us and let us go... Hey, I'm really looking for trouble! What kind of private visit is it? It's not fun at all!"

Qin Mubai smiled and said to himself: Li Ke is still so good at playing tricks, and now he has learned to release smoke bombs. He deliberately acted a little uncontrollable and funny... In fact, he is more stable than anyone else. At this point, he is the opposite of Li Shimin. Li Shimin is the king. Even if he really does something wrong, he can't openly admit his mistake. Li Ke always forgets to disguise himself by showing weakness and playing tricks.

The father is the king of the world, who is the king of the world, and the son's introsiveness to dig for his light and bide his time... Perhaps, 20 years ago, Li Shimin was exactly what Li Ke is like now, right?

Several jailers at the entrance of the prison gate were scared with fear. They all carried knives and swords as if facing the enemy. Some people ran to report for help in panic, saying that someone wanted to escape from prison!

In the main hall of the government office of the Assassin's Office, Shi Quan Wanji, the new governor of Xiang, sat in the right position and talked with a group of local officials in Xiangzhou. As he spoke, the jailer ran to report and described the situation in the prison. Quan Wanji immediately patted his thigh and jumped up: "Ah, it must be Your Highness and his party! The one who is going to escape from prison must be Yuwen Hongtai! How many people like him can there be in the world?

"Ah?!" All the officials were shocked, "Your Highness, are you in the prison of Xiangzhou?"

Wu Facao, who had arrested Li Ke and others before, turned pale: "No, no...!"

"What are you waiting for? Go to the cell quickly!"

......

The footsteps were hurried and noisy, and a group of people poured into the cell. Under the irradiation of the torch, Quan Wanji's face first turned red, and then instantly turned into iron blue.

"You have done a good job!!!" He shouted.

"Ah? Is it really Your Highness?!" Wu Fa Cao and a group of other people were completely dumbfounded.

"Why don't you let people out?"

Yuwen Hongtai rushed out first, stared at a pair of copper bells and roared, "That little thief named Zhao Chong, come out for Grandpa!" Grandpa is going to put you behind the horse's buttocks and go all over the city!"

"Wow - a good man spares his life!" Zhao Chong panicked and knelt down in the hall and kowtowed desperately. Others also knelt down in panic.

Qin Mubai and Li Ke came out of the prison, looked at each other with a smile, and shook their heads.

vulgar officials, mediocre officials! ...Why are the officials of Xiangzhou Prefecture so bad?!

Li Ke did not get angry on the spot, but waved his hand gently and said to Quan Wanji, "Jian Changshi, let them all wait in the main hall. What's the matter? Let's go there and talk about it. Don't be embarrassed in front of these prisoners.

The officials trembled neatly and cried bitterly in their hearts: miserable!! The more silent we are, the more angry we may be. It seems that we are going to suffer!

After saying that, Li Ke took Yin Yang and Xue Rengui to the left and right.

Yuwen Hongtai was still angry. He stared at Zhao Chong and refused to let go. He wished he could pick him up and beat him up to relieve his anger.

A group of officials got up from the ground, shrank their necks and walked out.

"Black, you stay." Qin Mubai didn't leave and said.

"Oh, okay." Yuwen Hongtai rolled his eyes twice, kicked Zhao Chong's buttocks, and kicked him so much that he almost threw a dog to eat shit on the spot.

"Haha! Look at you yelling arrogantly at us, you son of a bitch! Bah!" Only then did Yuwen Hongtai relieve his anger and scolded hatefully. Zhao Chong didn't dare to go back and ran away.

Qin Mubai was still standing in the prison, looked at the innermost room, and hooked his fingers at the two prisons standing on the side and trembling.

"What can I do for this... gentleman?" The prisoner didn't know how to call Qin Mubai, so he had to be careful and timid.

"This is the new captain of Xiangzhou Prefecture, the son-in-law of the emperor, and the third son of Qin Shubao's family - Qin Mubai and General Qin!" Yuwen Hongtai shouted angrily.

The eyes of the two prisons were straight on the spot, and when they opened their mouths wide, they almost flowed out of water.

Qin Mubai was amused and shook his head and said with a smile, "You immediately open the innermost cell and invite the female prisoner out. I want to talk to her. In addition, get a fat chicken and a pot of good wine for the prisoner in the cell. Well, it's better to get another pot of stewed mutton belly."

"Uh-huh..." The prison was stunned for a moment and didn't seem to react.

"What, is there a problem, or can't it be done?" Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows.

"The villain will do it right away!!!"
