Chapter 1744: Hunting
The high walls of the state capital prison are wide and thick, and there are only two gates in front and rear, which are guarded by soldiers.
The state capital prison has always been a courtyard within a courtyard, and when you enter the main gate, there will be several stone-walled courtyards in the courtyard, but they are all neatly built and orderly.
Fellons are kept in the center of the prison, and on the roads, at intervals, there will be fires, and there will be jailers patrolling the roads, and there will also be jailers patrolling the prisons at regular intervals.
When Pei Ji arrived at the prison for felons, the prison officer in charge of the prison had been notified in advance and had already heard the news and rushed to greet him.
Outside the prison for felons, two jailers were guarded with knives, and the iron-cast door was locked with chains, the prison officer instructed the jailer to open the chains, Pei Ji stepped inside, it was extremely dim, and a rancid smell came to his face, which was mixed with the smell of blood that was difficult to dissipate, and several attendants who followed behind Pei Ji couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their noses, and when the prison officer saw this, he laughed and said: "The people who are imprisoned here are all heinous murderers, so they are often tortured and interrogated on weekdays!" ”
Pei Ji walked down from the stone steps, and directly opposite the stone steps was a spacious torture room, surrounded by a wooden fence, and the torture tools inside were very complete, and there were two fires standing in the two corners, which illuminated the interrogation room very brightly.
Apparently hearing someone enter, three burly jailers in the interrogation room were already standing in the aisle outside the interrogation room to greet them respectfully.
Pei Ji turned to the aisle, looked up, the aisle is not spacious, but it is not narrow, on both sides of the road, there are cells one after another, it seems very quiet in all directions, but faintly heard the sound of sighing and sighing from inside, and occasionally there is a low moan with pain, Pei Ji glanced at the prison officer on the side, and asked, "How many people are here?" ”
"Returning to the general, there are a total of thirty-four prisoners here, six of whom have already been decided, and sent the case file to the Yamen of the Shuoquan Criminal Department. The prison officer said respectfully.
Pei Ji nodded and asked, "Where is the person I'm looking for?" ”
"General, please come with the little one." The prison officer took a torch from a jailer behind him and led the way, while Pei Ji led several followers to follow.
Most of the prisoners were huddled in their cells, and the sudden flash of fire did not cause them a commotion, and they were accustomed to the frequent patrols of the heavy cells.
The road in the prison was long, and although the interrogation room was lit by light, only a small section could be seen, and the rest of the road was pitch black, and the smell of rotting blood always made anyone who rarely entered the prison feel extremely uncomfortable.
It's just that Pei Ji didn't need to go to the end, halfway through, there was a separate lane on the left and right, the prison officer held a torch and turned to the left, Pei Ji followed him, until he came to the end, the prison officer stopped, stood in front of a cell door, glanced at Pei Ji, and said softly: "This is the person, who has been ordered to be interrogated in the past few days, and has suffered a lot of criminal laws, but he can't die." ”
Pei Ji looked through the wooden fence door, through the light of the torch in the prison officer's hand, but vaguely saw the prisoner curled up in the corner of the cell, the man's prison clothes were already broken at this time, the original gray-white prison clothes were now bloodstained, and most of them were stained red with blood, but the prisoner was like dead, curled up in the corner of the wall motionless, but under him was a pile of dry dry grass, lying on the haystack like this.
"Open the cell door." Pei Ji commanded.
The prison officer had already taken the keychain in his hand, stepped forward and opened the chain, Pei Ji then stepped into the room, and a squire in armor followed Pei Ji, pressing the saber in one hand, and entered the cell.
Pei Ji was two or three steps away from the prisoner, then stopped, looked at it, and finally said: "If you want to get out of here alive, you only need to answer me two questions, if it is not bad, not only can you heal your injuries and release you from prison, but also reward you with a sum of gold and silver, so that you and your family will have no worries for the rest of your life." I don't think you don't have no family, don't you think about them? ”
The prisoner was facing the wall, curled up and lying on his side in the corner, not moving, and the prison officer had already stepped forward, kicked him, and shouted: "Get up quickly, don't play dead, the general asks you, and you are not honest!" ”
The prisoner moved, and the jailer kicked again, shouting, "Get up! ”
The prisoner sat up with difficulty, did not speak, and turned slowly, unkempt and disheveled, full of weeds brought up from the haystack.
He lowered his head, his long hair covered his face, Pei Ji put his hands behind his back, and asked, "Is Lu Cunxiao really preparing to rebel, and where is General Qiu now?" ”
The prisoners did not look up and were silent.
The prison officer said sharply beside him: "If you don't answer honestly, do you want to sit on a chair again?" ”
When he said "sitting in a chair", he naturally meant the criminal law in prison.
The prisoner finally muttered in a low voice, but it was vague, and no one heard it clearly, Pei Ji frowned, couldn't help but take a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "What did you say?" ”
The prisoner looked down but saw Pei Ji's footsteps approaching, and suddenly raised his head, under the firelight, that face was extremely cold, his eyes were sharp, and he was glowing with cold light.
Pei Ji only glanced at it and knew that something was wrong.
How could a prisoner who had been tortured and dying of torture have such sharp eyes? And although this person's clothes were tattered and bloodstained, there was not the slightest scar on his face.
I heard the prisoner shout, he had already grown up, but there was already a strange sharp weapon in his hand, the sharp weapon was like a long sword, but it was obviously not a long sword, but it seemed to be a steel bar, the thickness of a little thumb, like a thunderbolt, it had already stabbed Pei Ji's chest.
There is no doubt that this sharp weapon was hidden in the haystack.
This person moved extremely fast, at the moment of his movement, Pei Ji's face had sunk, his body did not move, and almost at the same time, the prison officer had already pulled out the knife, his eyes were sharp, staring at the prisoner, he drew the knife extremely fast, the speed was by no means weaker than the prisoner, when the sharp weapon in the prisoner's hand stabbed Pei Ji, the prison officer had already slashed horizontally.
The sharp weapon stabbed at Pei Ji, and the prison officer's big knife seemed to be slashing at the prisoner at first glance, but it was an arc change, and it was already slashing at Pei Ji.
The two of them shot, both faster than lightning, and the cooperation was even more tacit, seamless, the prisoner stabbed Pei Ji in the chest, and the prison officer took out the knife on the side, Pei Ji had almost no room to dodge.
It's just that Pei Ji didn't seem to have any intention of dodging, when the prisoner's sharp weapon stabbed, he raised his hand, opened his palm, and unexpectedly met the strange sharp weapon with his palm.
The prisoner's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he wondered if Pei Ji wanted to use his palm to resist the extremely sharp weapon? Or is it a choice out of necessity?
The prison officer's knife was about to be slashed at Pei Ji's waist, but he suddenly felt a fierce wind coming from the side, but out of the corner of his eye, he glimpsed that the entourage who followed Pei Ji into the prison actually came forward like lightning, the speed was really appalling, and the entourage did not draw the knife, but cut down on the prison officer's shoulder in the shape of a knife in his right hand.
The entourage was originally a few steps away from Pei Ji, in the eyes of the two assassins, even if the entourage reacted, but with the speed of their shot, the entourage did not have time to react at all, but now the facts are the opposite, the entourage not only reacted with an unimaginable reaction power of ordinary people, but also bullied forward at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, and before the prison officer's big knife slashed into Pei Ji's waist, the palm knife had been heavily cut on the prison officer's shoulder.
When the prison officer found that his entourage was attacking, he didn't have time to react at all, and the palm knife cut his shoulder, making a "click" sound, and the shoulder bone was cut off in an instant, and the whole arm trembled, a burst of soreness, and instant weakness, and then a heart-rending pain from the shoulder quickly spread to the entire arm, and the big knife in his hand was already out of his hand.
The prisoner didn't care about the prison officer at this time, the sharp weapon in his hand was like a poisonous snake, and the sharp tip was already pierced in Pei Ji's palm, he knew that the sharpness of this weapon, not to mention the palm of flesh and blood, was a hard wall, and it could also be pierced lightly.
But when the sharp tip stabbed in Pei Ji's palm, the prisoner was shocked to find that the sharp weapon in his hand was difficult to move forward, as if it was stabbed on a hard copper wall.
How could he know that Pei Ji was from the Thirty-six Fang family of Taiping Zhengyuan, not only that, but also one of the five core families.
The Five Elements Dao technique passed down from Tiangong General Zhang Jiao was passed down by these five families respectively, and Pei Ji's Pei family was the holder of the Thick Earth Technique, and Pei Ji was the only descendant of the Pei family who inherited the Thick Earth Technique.
The Five Elements Dao Technique, each with its own subtleties, compared to the Sharp Metal, Dead Wood Technique, Cold Water Technique and Fire Technique, the attack power of the Thick Earth Technique is the weakest, but when it comes to defense, the other four elements of the Technique cannot be compared with the Thick Earth Technique at all, among which the Dead Wood Technique is also focused on defense, but it is still slightly inferior to the Thick Earth Technique.
Pei Ji's expression was cold, his five fingers had been closed, and he grabbed the sharp tip in his hand, the prisoner knew that something was wrong, and wanted to pull it out, but the sharp weapon was like being firmly clamped, but it was difficult for the prisoner to pull out a single cent.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, but it came from the cell next door, only to see the figure in the next cell flickering, but someone had already split the two wooden bars in the middle, and the two figures rushed over from the gap.
The prisoner let out a cold voice: "Kill them!" ”
Outside the prison door, two of Pei Ji's entourages had also rushed in, drew their knives and went up, and in the aisle, there was a sound of footsteps, and several figures were holding swords and rushing over, but they were the three jailers who had stayed in the interrogation room before, they were walking like flying, with a cold expression, and looking at that body, it was definitely not something that ordinary jailers could have-
