200.The end of the original state affair (4)

The group led the horses and hurried out of the Wu Mansion to the south of the city, which was located in the south of the city, close to the mountains and forests, which was a treacherous place and a bitter and dry place on the border, so most of the exiled assassins were here.

On the opposite city gate street, it was dark and quiet, Li Pojun found that the whole city was very quiet, it seems that the changes and fluctuations between the superstructures have little impact on ordinary people, just worry about the two meals a day.

There was no one on the street at night, and there was no one in charge of the curfew, so under the leadership of Zhu Cheng, the horses galloped wildly, and the sound of horses' hooves hitting the road woke up several lights.

In less than half an hour, it is to come to the remote place in the south of the city, the east of the city is towards the Gyeonggi area of Chang'an, and the west goes out of the city and passes through the Migang Mountain to go to the cool place in the west, so the east and west are a prosperous place, and the north and south are mostly inhabited by the suffering people, and the south of the city is even worse, it is already near the barren mountain, and the prison is set up here, and most of the ruffians and hooligans gather, and it is the slum in the city.

In the meantime, there are often drunken and lazy people swaggering on the road, and it is all broken and rotten as far as the eye can see, which is completely different from the high wall and deep courtyard at the end of the Wu Mansion in the east of the city, and the horseshoe stepping place is full of waste water.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the eyes were wide, it turned out to be different from the broken shacks, but there was a tall city in front of them, "Your Highness, the prison city has arrived, I will go and say hello first." Seeing Li Pojun nodding, he immediately went to the horse.

The gate was closed, and there were two soldiers guarding the door, sitting on the ground to enjoy the shade, and in the muddy light, I saw someone riding a horse coming, and heard the sound of horses' hooves. also picked up the weapon in a panic, and shouted without any confidence: "What kind of person, prison, prison city, people come to stop."

This buddy actually stammered in a panic, in fact, he didn't blame him, a few hours earlier, a few officials with a few fierce men, only said that the assassin of the official was so evil that he had been killed by His Royal Highness the prince, and took away their weapons, and taught them, loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and only let them go after they were not allowed to make trouble, thinking about it is really like a dream.

"It's me, Zhu Cheng".

"Ah, it's Zhu Langjun, I've seen Zhu Langjun." In fact, Zhu Cheng is also very bad, he is Li Pojun's person, and he came to do things, but he has no official position, and outsiders only know that he is a close confidant of the county king, so they have to call him Zhu Langjun.

"Open the door quickly, His Royal Highness King Gangneung has come down?"

"Ah, what, Your Highness, oh, oh, open the door, open the door." The two instigated babies hurriedly went to open the door, and went inside to spread the word.

entered the prison city and went directly to see Wu Yanheng and Liu Derang, who were working hard in a pile of slips.

When he looked up, his eyes were swollen and red, and he looked tired, Li Pojun was also very embarrassed, but these two local officials in Yuanzhou were suffering.

"Your Highness, there are too many people in this prison, no less than a thousand, and the case books are disorganized, and they have never been sorted into books, they are too chaotic, if you want to distinguish whether there is evil or not, and then give out food at your discretion, you are really too busy for a while."

Li Pojun was a little shocked when he heard this, there are so many people, how many people should have committed crimes, "Datang has been peaceful for a long time, how can there be so many prisoners." ”

"Hey, it's all the sins of the king and thieves, most of them are ordinary people, all of them are encroaching on land and homestead, and they have been caught and imprisoned for their evil deeds such as bullying their wives and daughters, and they only eat pig food every day to continue their lives, which is very miserable. Liu Lushi and I have released more than 100 well-convicted sons of good families who have been confirmed, and each of them has been given two stones of grain. But there are still more than eight or nine hundred people, and the prison city is still full."

When Li Pojun heard this, his face changed, this Wang Xiaorong is simply going to make Yuanzhou a purgatory on earth, he is crazy.

"Let's go to the prison and have a look."

"Ah, Your Highness, the prison is filthy and dirty, and I really can't treat people."

"Isn't the son of a good family who was framed in prison a human being?" After that, he raised his legs and left, and let Zhu Cheng lead the way.

Wu Yanheng was also helpless, and hurriedly followed, but Liu Derang was still sorting out the books.

As soon as I opened the prison gate, as soon as I walked to the door, there was a foul smell, an indescribable smell, the smell of reincarnation, sweat, and rot...... Li Pojun, who had a sharp nose, instantly decomposed several flavors, covered his nose busily, and turned around to take a greedy breath of fresh air.

Zhu Cheng got a sachet out of nowhere, Li Pojun took it and covered his nose, and took a torch in one hand to go in.

There were already jailers in the prison who lit the dim light, and a few people behind them were also holding torches, everyone went in to take a look, by the light of the fire, Li Pojun looked at the cells at both ends, it was uncomfortable, the cell was not wide, it was not ventilated, it was crowded with people, the ground was dirty, go forward, even more so, there were even people lying on the ground motionless, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, and some people were crazy and crazy and jumping around, it seemed that they should be crazy, this environment, it is strange if they are not crazy.

The more he looked at it, the more frightened Li Pojun became, purgatory, purgatory on earth, comparable to the notorious concentration camp, Wang Xiaorong should die, die well.

The more you go inside, the more frightening it becomes, some of them are shouting and screaming against the wall, and some are sitting against the wall in a daze, as if they are stupid, one or two of them are godless, they have really become the walking dead, and this should have been locked up for a long time.

I really couldn't bear it anymore, Li Pojun turned around and went out, and he could only hand it over to Wu Yanheng and them to deal with.

But as soon as he walked out a few steps, it was as if he heard someone shouting at him, "Zhu Cheng, did you hear anything?" ”

"Ah, what?"

"Did you hear anyone shouting at me?"

"Ahh Why, don't scare me, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, Your Highness......".

"No, silence".

Zhu Cheng hurriedly closed his mouth, feeling the yin wind of purgatory in this world, and seeing Li Pojun's chattering appearance, he only felt that there was a cold swish behind him.

Li Pojun frowned and approached the two cells behind him, and he was also very suspicious in his heart, there was nothing wrong with it, but someone called him, could there be anyone in this prison who knew him.

After getting closer, a sentence suddenly came, "Your Highness, save me." The voice is hoarse and cracking, and the original voice cannot be heard.

"Who? Who are you? At this moment, Li Pojun heard the source clearly, and hurriedly approached the cell on his left.

It's just that the man seemed to be very weak, and there was no sound for a long time after shouting, but there were about twenty people in this crowded cell, all of them with disheveled hair, and their faces were covered with dirt, and they were lying on their stomachs, leaning against the wall, and for a moment he could not tell who said it.

At this time, a person close to the foot of the wall slowly crawled over, and said indistinctly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Zhao Yan."

Now Li Pojun heard it clearly, and he was shocked, Zhao Yan? The man climbed close and turned over, revealing his face, Li Pojun hurriedly stretched the torch in, and when he saw it, he took a step back and almost scared the torch away. That is the Xuanjia army that has not been seen for several days since the first night of coming to Yuanzhou - Zhao Yan.
