039 A single convict in an iron prison
(039 Iron Prison Prisoner and Felon Prisoner)
Tang Su tidied up his clothes a little and walked to the waiting room. Everything in this stone house is simple, and the tables and chairs in the room are all carved in stone. At this time, the old man in silk sat leisurely on the stone chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Although he knew that this old man's strength was unfathomable, Tang Su was not afraid of this person. After all, he is a patrol envoy, and behind him are the entire Five Elements Sect and the large and small tribes of the Five Elements Sect. If the other party only oppresses him with strength, he can completely ignore it, but this person is using his identity to suppress him, which makes Tang Su, who has always regarded himself very highly, can only frown. After all, no matter how powerful the Five Elements Sect is, it is impossible to confront its own immediate boss.
The identity of the other party was engraved on the black iron plate he took out, and three words were engraved on it: "Xuan Tiewei".
"Xuan Tiewei" - an emperor's pro-army, with a strong strength that no one knows the true details.
Anyone who holds the Iron Guard has the privilege of being above the local army and any law enforcement agency at any time. Even if he is the patrol envoy of Xuanmen and a semi-official law enforcement agency recognized by the imperial court, he is within the scope of Xuantie Guard's command and dispatch.
In fact, if it's really business, that's it. The case that this person asked him to handle is clearly an unclear private matter!
The old man said that something had been stolen in Qingyang Xuan City, but he did not show any evidence that it really belonged to him.
Although the patrol envoy is said to be an institution that manages the Xuanmen disciples to walk the rivers and lakes, if it is not for the Xuan bandits who are causing trouble to the people, they will not need to be dispatched by the patrol envoy.
Tang Su has not debuted for a long time, his heart is high, and he is very principled in his daily affairs, so he knows at a glance that these people are using them as dogs.
But in addition to being upset, he was helpless.
"I have brought the man you wanted, and he is in prison. He walked into the drawing-room, but instead of facing the old man, he looked out the stone window at the endless sea of clouds. "As for the things, they have been kept in the evidence room. One day later, I will notify the people from the Jade Palace Torture Hall to come and collect the people. I'm going to track down the demon beast now, so I won't accompany you. β
The old man smiled with satisfaction, then slapped his palms twice and said: "Inspector Tang is really neat, it is really worthy of his reputation, you can rest assured, this favor, the young master of my family will definitely give enough rewards." β
"I do things according to the rules, and I don't dare to accept it. After Tang Su finished speaking, he turned around and left.
He didn't want to stay any longer.
He was in a hurry to leave, of course he didn't really go to find the demon beast in his mouth. The Qingxiao Mountain Range is thousands of miles wide, these demon beasts are powerful, they come and go without a trace, a dragon sees a demon beast with no head but no tail, where can he find it?
The old man wanted to borrow his hand to regain the precious Thunder Xuanmu Seed, and he had to let the other party get his wish.
But he's not a fool eitherβI've brought the things, but I'm not going to hand them over to you honestly, and every step of my Tang Su is in accordance with the rules: the criminals have been caught, and the things have been registered and stored in the evidence room, but no one knows if anyone has opened the evidence room without permission to collect the evidence privately.
That's the matter of those subordinates and the old oilmen of the Five Elements Sect.
He drove the wooden crane alone and left the Lonely Peak. This kind of thing is usually a little bit oily. If they don't leave all these old oils on the peak, they won't be satisfied.
"Haha, isn't it just a half-scorched seed?" As soon as Tang Su left with his front foot, Humpty Dumpty, one of the patrol envoys, flashed out of the door of the stone cave.
This Humpty Dumpty man's name is Zeng Fan, and he is an outer disciple of the Five Virtues of the Five Elements Sect. He is much older than Tang Su, but unfortunately his qualifications are too poor, and he is stubborn by nature, and he was stuck in the middle of the fifth stage of foundation building, and he has never advanced an inch since then. But with the errand of the patrol department, he can refine a few more pure yang pills on this lonely peak, occasionally collect some bribes, and live this life where he can't make a fortune and can't starve to death, he is also satisfied.
Looking at Tang Su's distant back, his oily fat face showed a look of disdain.
In Zeng Fan's eyes, there are no people in the world who are not greedy, but some people are as straightforward and simple as him, and some people pretend to be deeper - just like the young Tang Su.
Zeng Fat Man took the thunder Xuanmu out of his sleeve and threw it on the stone table, he didn't know the identity of this old man's Xuan Tiewei, and he couldn't feel the strength of the other party.
But he cares about one thing, this old man has money, and he will give it if he has money. He had never put this seed in the evidence room at all, and it had always been in his sleeve.
In his opinion, it was a question whether the market price of this seed could be worth three thousand pure yang pills. But the other party is willing to give him 10,000 at a time!
It's a fool not to do this kind of good thing.
As for whether there is evidence in the evidence room, no one will come to check it for tens of thousands of years.
"What about the prisoners?" the old man played with a bag in his hand, and there was the sound of Xuanyin Dan rubbing against each other, "Our young master wants to see the prisoners." β
"Haha," Zeng Fat smiled happily, "It's easy to say." β
Song Ruhai and Gou Pig and the others were dragged to a stone room, where the prison cells were relatively regular, separated from men and women, and Wu Fang and Fat Niu were taken away by the female patrol envoy.
Song Ruhai, Hook Pig and Wood were locked in the same room, and all three of them were hanged, their toes on the ground, but their heels were hanging in the air, so it was extremely uncomfortable to be hanged, and the immortal shackles on the hands of the three of them were not unfastened. The chain that was holding behind it was now hanging from the hook on the top of the stone.
"What the fuck is this, it's worse than being in confinement. Hook Pig couldn't help but curse in a low voice. In the first year of the Jade Palace, when the introductory disciple training, he also sat in confinement. It was really nothing, just locked him up in a room, he could eat, drink and sleep, how could he be hung up like this.
"You're a prisoner now, okay. Song Ruhai had to remind this junior brother. As soon as he entered, he expected to wait for the people from the Jade Palace Torture Hall to come and bring them back. He had never felt so important to him about his sect. He's not like a branch that they're going to die here. "Bear with them, don't mess with them, or you'll be beaten ......"
Pig stealing has never missed for many years, so he has never been in jail. However, he has many brothers who often go in and out of prison, so he also knows a lot about prison. He will no longer make unnecessary complaints.
"What if they don't come to pick them up?" said Wood after a moment of silence, "We...... Will you die here?"
In fact, this worry has been there for a long time, and Song Ruhai also has it. They are just worried in their hearts, and they feel that there is no other use in saying it than to be scary. But the wood was slower to react, and I just remembered.
"Not really. Song Ruhai comforted him and said, "Xuanmen is not an underworld after all. Besides, we sent a message to the outer court asking for help, and if we don't reply, the outer court may send someone to look for us. β
Hook Pig is not optimistic about the outer courtyard, and he can get a glimpse of it from the cold word "quick return". He is still more optimistic about himself. Since he has his own worries, he also has his own plans. A fairy shackle can lock him up?
Back then, Chen Xuanfang, a true disciple of the true lineage, no matter how vicious and cautious he was, he couldn't lock him up.
With no one in the cell guarded, he had quietly opened the lock on the immortal shackles. Of course, it was the bundle of copper wire on his wrist, a lock-picking artifact that he had never left for many years.
This thing requires patience and slow experimentation, and it is a matter of how much time it takes to open any lock, but fortunately, the last thing that is lacking in this cell is time.
But he didn't put himself down, still hanging from the shackles. Although the lock of the immortal shackles was opened, it was still a false button. He had no intention of fleeing.
If you can go back to the Jade Palace after a day, why run away?
The terrain on the top of this mountain is unfamiliar, maybe you can't even find the way down the mountain, and the monk can't run the temple. What is the difference between him escaping back to the Jade Palace by himself and waiting for the people from the Jade Palace Torture Hall to pick him up?
The reason why Hook Pig opened the lock was just to leave himself a last resort.
Not long after Hook Pig opened the lock, a sound of footsteps came from outside.
The stocky patrolman brought another strong man and twisted a mechanism outside the door, and the chain on the top of the hook pig fell off with a sound, and was caught by the strong man in his hand.
"What are you going to do?" Hook Pig faintly felt ominous.
"You didn't expect that you roe deer, there are still people who take care of you!haha!" The short and fat old man smiled cruelly: "Congratulations, you kid, you can live in a single room!"
Fortunately, the structure of the lock is special, even if the lock is opened, the two sides are still buckled together like the hook, and the shackles must be opened with force in the other direction. So the two dragged the hook pig to a separate cell, but they didn't realize that the hook pig had quietly opened the lock.
This cell was much smaller than the one shared by the three of them, and it could even be said that it didn't look like a room, just a slightly larger stone cave.
There is hard and smooth granite from top to bottom, left and right, and no one knows how thick it is. There are no windows, except for the entrance with a heavy black iron gate, and only the side of the mountain has a stone cave the size of a fist. Outside, the wind poured in, whirring.
He was still hanging as before, and a ray of sunlight came in from here, just shining on his face.
He had just entered the windowless cell, and it was dark in front of him. It wasn't until his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness that he could see that there were several stone benches in front of him. An old man and a young man are already waiting there.
