1574 Into Prison
The prison of Wucheng Bingmasi is surrounded by thick brick walls. There is only a small vent near the top of the wall, which can not only provide ventilation, but also serve as a small window. It also prevents prisoners from escaping.
After entering the prison room and passing through the dark corridor with no windows that can only be illuminated by oil lamps, it suddenly becomes clear.
There is a stone room on the left, with a narrow door closed tightly, and it is impossible to see what is inside, but the shrill cry from inside tells others that some kind of torture is going on inside.
When Gu Xiaowan heard the shrill cry, her heart trembled involuntarily, she pricked up her ears and listened a few more times, only then did she realize that the voice was not familiar to her, and she felt relieved.
Look calm, complexion calm.
Such an extraordinary demeanor made Ni Bing take a second look.
Such a bloody and cruel place, whose lady has the guts to come here, not to mention the Princess Huguo, it is because she grew up in the border gate since she was a child, and she is used to such killing scenes. With the heart prepared.
However, this Anping county lord came from a small place. He didn't expect to be so courageous, his face didn't change and his heart beat, and he couldn't help but look at him twice with admiration.
After passing through the long corridor, the two rows were only lit with oil lamps, which illuminated the surge, and some prisoners were locked in the wooden prisons on both sides.
From time to time, shrill screams, moans of pain, and screams of grievances came out from inside: "My lord, the grass people are wronged, the grass people are wronged, the grass people are harmless!"
Ni Bing turned a deaf ear to the dirty hands protruding from the railing from time to time and the shrill shouts, and focused on leading the way, walking without looking sideways.
Gu Xiaowan followed behind, looking at the detainees in the cells on both sides through the thick veil from time to time, hoping to see a familiar face.
But as the road got farther and farther, the voice became smaller and smaller. Gu Xiaowan knew that they had already entered the innermost part of the cell, which is usually the place where important prisoners are held, but no one familiar with them saw it.
As the corridor deepened, the air inside became more and more turbid, mixed with the strong musty smell from years of no sunshine and the smell of moldy dry grass.
Not long after, when passing another prison cell, suddenly a pair of older hands stretched out from inside the cell, but the hands were very clean. When Gu Xiaowan was about to walk there, she suddenly found that the person lying on the railing and looking out The old man turned out to be Mr. Cheng, the accountant of Jinfu Building.
Seeing Gu Xiaowan appearing here, Mr. Cheng was startled at first, surprise and joy flashed in his shrewd eyes, and then he opened his mouth to say something, but looked at the person beside Gu Xiaowan and could only pout his mouth, saying nothing Didn't say anything, just glanced at Gu Xiaowan, cast his eyes aside, turned around and walked into the cell, never looking at Gu Xiaowan again.
Gu Xiaowan knew that Mr. Cheng was pretending not to know him so as not to implicate him.
He could only look at the prison cell he passed by, and then followed Ni Bing to continue walking.
