A sergeant patrol shop is set up every two or three hundred steps on the Tianzhou Royal Street, and the corner patrol police in the shop maintain traffic order during the day and divert the flow of people and vehicles; at night, guard the official mansion and commercial residence, prevent theft, fire prevention, and prevent accidents. This is probably the earliest patrol in human history.

At this moment, in the midst of the snowflakes, a young patrolman was looking at a teenager in disbelief.

The young man looked like he was twelve or thirteen years old, unkempt and tattered, like a flower child.

But this young man was shocked, and he opened his mouth and asked, "May I ask the military master, where is the prison?"

Although the patrol police are young, not a few years older than the teenagers, as the military commander of the imperial capital, they can be said to be well-informed and bright-eyed. He was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that the young man had an extraordinary background.

Although he is called Hanako, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he asks the prison when he opens his mouth, which makes people dare not despise it.

What kind of place is the prison? It is a place where rebels, enemy leaders, or relatives of the emperor and princes and ministers are held. Ordinary people, ordinary officials, are not qualified at all, and they have nothing to do with these two words.

Looking at the appearance of the young man in front of him, the patrol police concluded that this was the descendant of the prince and minister, and the emperor's relatives and relatives might not be able to say. It should be that the adults in the family have done something bad and have been put in prison and come to visit the prison.

The young patrolman made a quick decision.

He looked around and said with a smile: "It's inconvenient to talk here, please come with me." ”

Although the patrol officer is young, he knows that there are two ways to deal with such a high-profile character. One is to fall into the well and invite merit. One is to make friends as much as possible, so that when it comes back, it can be used for itself. It must not be offended casually or discarded at will.

Therefore, the young patrolman took the boy out of the crowd and led him to a remote place, where he carefully interrogated: "What does Childe ask about the prison? ”

The boy is Xin Ran. He ran for months before finally returning to the place where his father was born. The hardships along the way can be imagined. But for the burning mood, hard work is not a thing.

My father has been put in prison, and my grandmother must not have another accident. Otherwise, he would really die a hundred deaths. As soon as he entered Tianzhou City, he didn't think about it, so he went straight to the direction of the Imperial City.

Although Xin Ran's hometown is in Tianzhou and there are old mansions in the capital, he doesn't know where the prison is.

But he knew that the prison would not be too far from the palace. So I went straight here to find out the news of my father.

"Master Jun, that's the case, I have a relative, I heard that I was imprisoned in prison. I want to visit. Xin Ran looked around vigilantly and replied vaguely.

He was well aware that his identity must not be revealed. Deputy Prime Minister Baihou, because of the death of his son Baihou Jizong, hated Xuanyuan Chengbin, if he knew the news that Xin Ran-Xiao Zhuang ran to the capital to throw himself into the net. It was impossible for him to get a good death. It's not a thousand cuts, it has to be a five-horse corpse or a sky lantern. Therefore, he did not dare to go back to his hometown, nor did he dare to go to his relatives and friends. I think it's certain that my hometown will be seized, and I don't dare to say if there is anyone watching nearby.

Relatives and friends, who would dare to risk offending Bai Hou Yunqing, who had just become the hot prince of the country, to help himself? If you don't get it right, it is very possible that any relatives and friends who have lost their conscience will betray themselves to Bai Hou Guozhang.

The patrolman understood as soon as he heard it. The young man in front of him didn't dare to tell the truth, pretending to be a relative. looked around for a while, and asked quietly: "I don't know the relatives of the son, what is the surname, and the official position is high?"

"The surname is Xuanyuan, it's my cousin, and I'm married to Xuanyuan Chengbin, the army master. I heard that Xuanyuan Chengbin's army master and his entire family were thrown into prison. My uncle asked me to inquire and see if my cousin was alive or dead. Xin Ran replied vaguely.

"Xuanyuan army master, protector of the country, god of war ......" The patrol officer was moved and respected.

The grievances between the Xuanyuan family and the former vice minister and the current national abbot, as a patrol policeman, still heard a little discussion on the streets. This patrolman immediately understood. The kid in front of him is the heir of the Xuanyuan family of the Protector of the Kingdom, and the Xuanyuan Qianqiu that the people of the Guozhang Mansion are looking for. It was a pleasant surprise.

"What's that boy's name?" asked the patrolman respectfully and pretentiously.

"This I, I am from Taibai Mountain, Shaanzhou. My surname, I also have the surname Xuanyuan, and the master of the Xuanyuan army is the son of my family. It's just that the five suits have already been released, and they are not in the remote side branches of the capital, and no one knows about ......it," Xin Ran made up nonsense: "I won't talk about it." What I'm most concerned about now is the Xuanyuan Army Master, the military master, I don't know the Xuanyuan Army Master's family, what's going on now?"

"Well, I heard that the army master of Xuanyuan Chengbin is imprisoned in the heavenly prison, and there is no will. As for the old lady of Helan, it is said that because of the great merit, the saint gave extrajudicial grace and was not punished, but he was confined in the Protectorate Mansion and thought about it behind closed doors. There are quite a few people who spy on her. The patrolman replied solemnly.

Xin Ran let out a long sigh of relief. He was afraid that he would hear the murderous news that his father and grandmother had been killed.

"Oh, that's right. That boy is in Beijing, do you know a senior official?" the patrol officer said seriously: "Without the guidance of a senior official, I will tell you where the prison is, and you will not be able to enter." ”

Xin Ran knew that the patrol officer was telling the truth, and groaned.

The big official in the capital, he should know too much. Almost all the big officials of the empire in the capital, he should know all of them. But which one is reliable and won't betray him, he doesn't know.

"Don't you know Childe?" asked the patrolman with concern.

Xin Ran's mind turned, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's not that I don't know, but I know too much." I just don't know who can not forget the old love in this situation, and who is the most suitable to find!"

"Well, that's what Childe said. Doing such a big thing is not a fateful friendship, and ordinary people will not get ahead. The patrol nodded in understanding and asked tentatively, "Does Childe have a place to stay in Beijing?"

Xin Ran was stunned for a moment, and he didn't dare to go back to his home! Now his old mansion is definitely a tiger's den in Longtan. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Just arrived." There is no place to stay. ”

"Seeing that it's getting late, I can't do anything for a while, so Childe has to settle down first. ”

The patrolman looked up at the sky and said, "It's time for me to take over." Childe is waiting here for a while, and then give Childe a place to settle down, and then talk about anything else, okay?"

"Then thank you, Master Jun!" Xin Ran thanked him very gratefully.

Although Xin Ran was anxious, he could only force his patience, he clearly knew that being anxious would not only not solve the problem, but also could cause bad things. The only way to find a place to stay is to find a way to do it.
