Chapter 231 midnight

Within three days, nearly 400 prisoners escorted from all over the country to the Five City Military and Ma Si Prison. A large prison was filled with a lot of people. Except for the cell with no desire, the other prisons were all next to each other, and even sleeping on the other side. Suddenly, so much workload was increased, and the prison guards such as Scar and Crazy Eye rolled their eyes so tired.

On the fourth night, the prisoners were completely full. After that, the prisoners escorted to Beijing had to be sent to other prisons. After these prisoners were settled, the prisoners were finally a little lighter. But there were too many prisoners now. In order to avoid any accidents, all the prisoners must live in the prison. When will these special prisoners go home and rest after the autumn punishment?

However, in order to appease these death row prisoners, the Ministry of Justice specially allocated silver to improve their food as usual. Although it was not as big as fish and meat, I could eat white flour steamed buns every day, and I could get a live pig in two days.

Every day, officials from the Ministry of Justice come to inspect, and the prison officials in the prison dare not exploit it. Nowadays, they eat white flour, steamed buns, pork and cabbage every day. These death row prisoners are all trying to do it. Except for a few people who are crying, the rest are thrown away and eat and drink.

These days, Prince Yi's mansion knew that the prison was about to go on a fortune, and the old housekeeper did not show up. He just sent the chief to send 180 taels of silver, saying that he was the one who gave tea to the prison guards.

At present, these prisoners are fond of nothing and eat big fish and meat every day. Except for Robben who is a little bit uneasy, the remaining prisoners are all full of food. While eating and drinking, they can still brag and talk nonsense.

"Today I'm evil. I heard that even the prison of the Ministry of Justice is full. Even the prison of the Jiumen Admiral's Office has begun to be stuffed. In previous years, there were only one or two hundred people. Why did you kill so many people this year?"

"Don't you know yet? When Master Yongzheng suppressed the bandits at the end of last year, he issued an order. When encountering those who did not surrender, they would be punished without mercy. Just suppressing the bandits, they arrested 10,000 bandits and the White Lotus Sect. They thought that the law would not punish the crowd, and the emperor would issue a mercy order to pardon the bandits. Who knew that our emperor did not believe in evil and escorted them directly to Beijing, and it would be cracked within a day."

"Have you heard that? There are not enough executioners in the capital. Now they are going to Beijing from Cangzhou, Baoding and other places. The Ministry of Justice took out all the ghost-headed swords at the bottom of the box, and they are waiting to chop off the heads in a few days."

At this time, a young prison guard who had just arrived for a few days put down the chopsticks in his hand. Seeing that there were no outsiders around him, he immediately said to the old fried dough sticks around him: "Brothers, why did I hear that when the time comes for a fortune, it is the time when we are at the most oily time? It has been several days since we only work, and we have never seen the money coming?"

"Boy, no one has damned you. It's not time to go..." Scarn glanced at the prison guard and continued, "In a few days, the families of these death row prisoners will arrive in the capital. When we meet for the last time, can't we give two tea money? These hundreds of people can get three or five thousand taels. The old rules are half taken away by the masters of the Ministry of Justice, and the remaining half is from our Lord Prison. The next quarter is our brothers...

In addition to this, the last meal of these death row prisoners was worth five taels of silver for each person. At that time, the people who were beaten to death lost their appetite and placed two tables there. Whoever wanted to eat would eat a few bites. The last two tables of dishes could be raised by one and a half tables. We are half the remaining money, and the Lord of the Prisoners. There are many people this year, so our brothers can almost get a hundred and eighty taels each."

Hearing this, the newly opened prison guard's eyes shone. Just as he was about to continue asking a few questions, a messy sound suddenly appeared outside the prison. Then someone shouted loudly: "Where is the prison chief? The Ministry of Justice has come to welcome the official documents, come out to welcome the official documents!"

After hearing this, several prisoners did not dare to neglect. After wiping their mouths, they sorted out their official uniforms, and then hurriedly went out to greet them.

When I arrived at the gate, I saw a dozen officers and soldiers surrounded a man wearing a third-rank military officer uniform. This man could not tell how old he was. Although he looked in his twenties, for some reason, he seemed to be more than this age. However, with a shy baby face, he looked younger and more immature.

The adult looked young, but spoke a little mature. After seeing these prisoners greeted them, he took a document from the soldiers beside him, and then said to them: "Who are you here? I, a third-rank guerrilla, came to deliver the document in person. Is he a fifth-rank jail officer still pretending to be a sceptical?"

Scarred eyes hurriedly explained with a smile: "Sir, you don't know. Our Lord of the Prison Office has gone to the Five City Military and Horse Office to discuss the prisoner's Qiu Jue. It's almost time to come back, why don't you wait in the yamen? Please come back immediately after we come back..."

"There's no time! I'll go to the prison of the Nine Gate Admiral in a while." The guerrilla master frowned and continued, "In this way, you can take away the official document for you two prisoners. Then take out the roster of Qiu Jue prisoners. I came to check the roster of the roster..."

There are too many officials from the Ministry of Justice who have come to check the roster these days, and I don’t think much about it. After taking the official documents with both hands, I immediately ordered someone to take out the roster. Then I handed it to the guerrilla master with both hands...

After opening the roster, the young guerrilla man just looked carefully at the name of the prisoner on the first page. Then he looked perfunctorily for a few more pages, and then suddenly thought of something. After returning the roster to Scar, he took his dozen soldiers and left the prison.

I originally thought that Lord Prison Si would come back soon, but I didn't expect that he would not return to the prison until late at night. I thought that he should have gone home to rest after coming out of the Five City Military and Masjids. I heard that he had just married the fourth concubine, and now it was time to mix oil in honey, so I took this opportunity to go home and go home to have a good time with his concubine.

There are too many such things. The other prisoners dare not speak out. Whoever made him the biggest official could only recognize him. In the blink of an eye, it was almost midnight that it suddenly became foggy on the street. Then even the yard of the prison was covered with white space, and no one could see his fingers.

Several jailers on duty had never seen such heavy fog. There was nothing wrong with this fog. There was nothing at all. The jailers on duty were getting up and yawned one by one, and did not take the fog seriously. At this moment, the scar among them suddenly thought of something, and he said to his companions around him: "Why do I feel that I haven't heard the sound of the gong for a long time? Did I miss it? Have you heard the sound of the gong for a while?"

After being reminded by scars, the other prison guards also reacted. Robben smiled and said, "What's so strange about this? In such a foggy day, I'm even more afraid that even if I can't tell the difference between the east, south, west and north of the world when I fight, I can't tell where to go..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sudden knock on the door outside the gate. The sleepy prison guards suddenly woke up, and then his eyes turned to the door. Scar's eyes plucked up his courage and shouted outside: "Who? Why are you here to make trouble when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

The knocking sound completely ignored the scar and continued to knock. In the end, one of the brave jailers ran to the gate, and then the sound of opening and closing the door sounded. After opening the door, the knocking sound immediately stopped.

I originally thought that the jailer would come in later with the person who had knocked on the door, but after waiting for a while, he still didn't wait until the jailer came back. The people in the room began to keep shouting the jailer's name, but no matter how they shouted, they never heard anyone answered.

Just when everyone didn't know what was going on outside the door, the sound of knocking on the door suddenly sounded out of the door again...
