Chapter 424
The night covered the long street with gray mist, and under the blue sky, candles lit up on both sides of the streets of the imperial city.

The paper lanterns glowed dimly, illuminating the carriages escorted by infantry cavalry.

From time to time, the people who cleaned up the vendors chatted with their colleagues to hear the news, and glanced at the convoy to recognize the walking pawns.

Armored soldiers, tall horses, wearing the official robes of the Jinwu Guards patrolling the streets, the leader is wearing a golden crown, and the red tassels fluttering are Li Junxian, the guard next to His Majesty.

The silver-white armor is cold, and the chest mirror reflects the cold light under the illumination of street lanterns.

"Mr. Li, the last time I heard about your deeds was when you confronted Mr. Fang with His Royal Highness King Jin on Zhuque Street."

"Unexpectedly, when we met, it looked like this."

A corner of the car curtain was raised, revealing half of Li Xian's smiling face.

"General Li, thanks to your arrangement, I was able to save some face for the Li family."

"Otherwise, if I sit in a prison cart with transparent sides and intertwined cross-bars, I will ruin Father's first life reputation."

The figure on the horse frowned slightly, looked at the laughing figure out of the corner of his eye, secretly shook the silver gun in his hand, and lowered his voice.

"You kid got into such a calamity and still have a playful smile on your face. Are you sure you don't have any fear in your heart?"

"The Duke of Wei has a great reputation. He has galloped on the battlefield all his life, and the military generals in the court will not give a little favor. You can sit in the carriage, not because the general intends to protect you, but because you have some respect for the Duke of Wei."

"I know, I know, hehe."

Sansan withdrew his arms, Li Xian stopped talking, and the chariots and horses drove slowly to the long street and went to Dali Temple.

Boom, boom, boom.

The sound of closed doors and drums came out, and the residents on both sides of the long street hurriedly closed their houses. In the quiet market, the sound of iron hooves trampling on the bluestone floor and the sound of armor rubbing and rubbing spread, and the couple disappeared behind the paper window lattice. Eyes watching the team leave, whispers sounded in the house immediately.

"Oh, looking at the direction the carriage came from, the person who was arrested should be Mr. Li from Duke Wei's Mansion, right? The rumors are true!"

"I can't imagine that Li Xian, who is usually weak in Chinese, would cause such a big trouble. The Jinwu Guard and the royal guards cooperate. It seems that His Majesty attaches great importance to this matter."

"Hejian County King and His Majesty are brothers, and the heirs have been humiliated. This Li family is definitely going to end!"

"Even if we can't finish it, it's likely that Li Xian will spend half of his life in prison... Oh! Hurry up and sleep, the imperial city will definitely be unstable these few days..."

The sound gradually died down, and the rumors heard at noon were also confirmed. On the other side of the street corner, Li Xian had already been escorted to Dali Temple.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao and their group did not see each other, and the jailer who listened to the handover had already been arrested a quarter of an hour ago, and since he was the leader, he was going to be held incommunicado.

Passing through the corridor lined with warriors and the winding corridor, Li Xian finally saw the prison under the surveillance of four people.

Although he was well prepared, Li Xian still collapsed when he entered the prison.

The sound of the whip whip echoed in the deep and secluded corridor, the wet ground could barely cover the sewage with the straw sandwiched between it, and the steps rustled when stepped on it, with the torches inserted on both sides of the corridor, moths, flies and insects surrounded, disturbing In the light and shadow of the sky, one can vaguely see that the prisons surrounded by iron bars are lined up, stretching to the end of the darkness.

On the edge of the dim light and shadow, the leather whip suddenly fell into the light range, then galloped into the darkness, and fell into the outline of the figure tied to the wooden frame, and the screams brought out the muffled sound of blood and flesh being torn.The howls and begging for mercy made people's scalp numb.From time to time, the screams of rats sounded from the corners, adding a bit of eerie spookiness to this prison.

Even Li Xian, who had been on guard for a long time, couldn't help trembling at this moment, and his steps were heavy.

The casual Dali Siqing followed behind, looking at the faintly trembling figure, but more distressed and struggling.

Although the prisoners in Dali Temple are all rich and powerful criminals, how could so many sons of the princes of the state be imprisoned at once?If you can honestly confess your crimes, it's fine, if not, you have to consider the punishment.

Those who are beaten hard will definitely be remembered by these powerful people, and it is not uncommon for them to be squeezed out in the future.If you fight lightly, you can't settle the case, and the whole Dali Temple accepts people will also be unlucky!

With the sound of rattling iron chains, the prison door was swiftly opened by the jailer. Dali Siqing stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, and cupped his hand towards the hesitant Li Xian.

"Today, I will wrong Mr. Li for one night. Tomorrow, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister, and Yu Shitai will come to interrogate him in person. I hope Mr. Li will be more tolerant."

Not bothering the bloody errand officer, Li Xian walked straight into the dark prison, the damp musty smell and the smell of excrement and urine filled his nostrils, Li Xian bent over and retched immediately.Inadvertently leaning against the prison wall, a sticky and wet feeling came from the palm of the hand, and it was darkened by the weak torch, and the pungent and unpleasant smell hit the stomach.

vomit~
Li Xian vomited two mouthfuls of acid water, his eyes adapted to the darkness caught a glimpse of the straw mat spread out on the one-inch-high steps, and his face was pale on the spot!
Where the hell is a place where people can live?
Compared with those in the later film and television dramas, it is simply a heaven and a hell.

Living here can be said to be worse than death, or whether it can last until tomorrow is a problem!
creak.

The sound of the iron gate closing came from behind, and without thinking, Li Xian turned around and rushed to the iron gate fence, holding the cold iron fence, and shouted at the three people who turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hurry up and change to a clean cell, or I'll be bumped to death here right now."

Dali Siqing, who didn't want to share the matter, turned around with a sad face, and was about to say something nice, when Li Xian breathed heavily and was about to vomit again.

"I am the servant of the firearms battalion handpicked by His Majesty. The sharp weapon of the country has not yet been formed, and you will have nothing to do with me dying here."

Dali Siqing bowed his body slightly, and the muscles on his face were twitching.

"What kind of prison does Mr. Li want to live in? I will look for it later."

Having accurately grasped the time difference of one night, Li Xian even grasped the neutral idea in Dali Siqing's heart, and his heart was relatively calm.

"At least it must be clean and comfortable. Now that it is approaching summer, the smelly area is prone to disease. If I talk nonsense about some secrets about firearms, these prisoners may not be able to tell the truth. I will not say anything about the consequences."

"I'm afraid of the dark, so the light is good. There should also be no rodents, mosquitoes, and flies, which can easily cause diseases."

"Eating is two meat and one vegetarian. I haven't been neglected in Li's residence yet. Do I have to take a shower? I guess this case will involve a lot. I have to stay for a few more days. I will tell you in advance..."

Across the iron fence, the muscles of Dali Siqing's face were stiff, and the eyelids of the figures inside the iron fence were twitching.

Where the hell is he here to sit in prison? He's clearly here to travel!
Clasping hands instead of bowing, Dali Siqing had a pleading look on his face.

"My mother, please stop, Mr. Li."

"It's better to live in this officer's dormitory than the prison you mentioned! If there is such a place, I will never come out for the rest of my life!"

"Young Master Li, don't talk about killing him because of illness. I will kill you in front of you, and try this tricky case with ease."

The flickering torches reflected on Dali Temple Qing's distressed face, and the old official really had that posture of bumping into him. Li Xian quickly shook his arms without changing his face.

"One that is clean, one that shines, one that has rice to eat, and one that has no chains on its hands."
