Holding the medicine box, Man Bao stared at Tao Yi with wide eyes, and asked in disbelief, "What, can't you see?"
Tao Yi's eyes fell on the baskets and medicine boxes they brought, and said: "This is the order we received early this morning, and we have followed the orders, but although you can't see them, the food and medicine you sent can still help. Handed it in."
Man Bao turned his head and looked at Bai Shan, and they both looked down at the food in the basket and the medicine bag she was carrying, and frowned.
Tao Yi probably knew what they were worried about, and said, "Don't worry, once the medicine and food are in my hands, no third person will touch them, and I will send them directly to the cell."
The two of them could only give him the basket and the medicine bag, "Master Tao, please help us ask Xiang Chao and Xiang Mingxue if they have any special needs. We will send them to them tomorrow."
Tao Yi responded and went in with his things. After a while, he came out and shook his head to the two of them, "They don't have any demands."
Bai Shan rolled his eyes, coughed lightly and said, "Master Tao, we brought something for Bapu this time, can we go in and see him?"
Man Bao nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, I have only heard his voice but never seen him, this time I have to see him properly."
Tao Yi took a deep look at them, then nodded and said, "Yes."
Bai Shan then turned his head to Man Bao and said, "Just wait for me, I'll go back to the car to get things."
Man Bao nodded.
Seeing Bai Shan running out, he found Daji who was waiting outside and said, "Hurry up and buy a few steamed buns. If you want big meaty buns, well, buy ten or eight. It doesn't matter if it's good or not, as long as you have a big meaty bun."
Although Daji didn't know what the young master was going to do, he turned around and ran away in a carriage.
There is no stall in front of the prison gate, no one will look for this bad luck, but there are steamed buns selling buns as soon as you leave this street.
Daji went to buy steamed stuffed buns quickly, and then let the carriage gallop back, and handed over two paper bags of steamed stuffed buns to Bai Shan.
The buns were just taken out of the steamer, they were still hot, even Bai Shan felt hot when holding them.
He rushed into the dungeon with the paper bag in his arms. Tao Yi, who was already bored with waiting, saw him come in with two bags of steaming steamed buns, and he knew with his toes that he bought them fresh.
He turned a blind eye and pretended not to see them, and turned to lead them in.
There are three lanes in the prison. Normally they, the officials on duty, are active in the lobby. It is also very dark here. Next door is the torture room. Bai Shan and the others used to live in the first lane, and now he directly leads them into it. The second way.
Unlike their road where only the four of them were imprisoned, many cells here are crammed with people, and the cells are very small, basically one person is squatting in each cell.
Man Bao looked all the way over, and couldn't help but whispered to Tao Yi who was walking in front, "Master Tao, why are the cells here so small?"
Tao Yi said with a blank face: "These are serious criminals who have been escorted to Beijing by the subordinates, and they have been approved to be executed in autumn."
He glanced at Man Bao and said: "The place where you live is usually reserved for criminals. Of course, they will be sent to the prison, and most likely they will go to the execution ground in the end."
Man Bao and Bai Shan felt their necks were a little cold at the same time, and after swallowing their saliva, they asked, "What about the lesser half?"
"Most of them will be exiled, and very few of them will be able to escape unscathed, so you are lucky."
Man Bao couldn't help muttering, "We're not criminals."
Tao Yi didn't look sideways, "If the evidence you give cannot be confirmed to be true, then it's a false accusation against the royal family, which is a crime of killing the clan. At that time, there will only be more people in the prison, not fewer people. Okay. Here, here, this is Bapu."
The dark group of people leaning on the kang heard his name, raised their heads and looked outside, met the eyes of Bai Shan and Man Bao, he was a little puzzled, "Looking for me?"
Bai Shan coughed lightly and said, "Bao Ye, I am..."
"Oh, I know, the people next door." Although Bapu had never seen them before, he recognized their voices and couldn't help laughing: "You guys went out yesterday, why are you in again today?"
Bai Shan passed the steamed stuffed bun in his hand forward, and said, "Let's come and see you, and bring you something to eat along the way."
Bapu immediately stepped forward, unlike Bai Shan and the others, even in prison, he had iron chains on his hands and feet, he walked over and jingled the bells, and when he walked to the prison door, he sat down on his buttocks, from Bai Shan Taking the paper bag in his hand, he directly picked up a fat, white bun and bit into it. The smell of meat wafted out immediately, and the people in the nearby cells became agitated. One after another, they went to the door to look at him, and couldn't help swallowing. .
Bai Shan couldn't bear it, he hesitated and glanced at the paper bag in his hand.
Tao Yi looked at it and said coldly: "Sympathize with them? That's not necessary. Who can be taken to this prison without a murder case?"
Beheading cases in various places must be submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review, because human life is at stake. Except for extremely urgent cases, such as fighting disasters and appeasing people's hearts, it is necessary to wait for the county magistrate to win the case and pass the Ministry of Criminal Justice. All death penalty cases must go through the Ministry of Criminal Justice. review.
In order to save time and improve efficiency, the Ministry of Criminal Justice generally conducts a unified review after the middle of the year. Before the autumn harvest, the official documents after the review will be distributed, and executions will be carried out in various places. Therefore, prisoners are generally executed after autumn.
Only for cases with particularly bad influence or controversial cases, the local government needs to escort the prisoner and the case file to Beijing, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will try it again. If there is an unjust, false or wrong case, it will be rehabilitated. If it is confirmed, it will deter the wicked people in the world. And the execution was carried out in Beijing to serve as an example to others.
Therefore, the prisoners who can finally be locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to wait for the autumn execution, either committed evil deeds near the capital, or are extremely evil people with particularly bad influence.
For example, Bapu, he had four lives, all of them were killed after he was discovered during the theft, and one of them was a yamen servant who hunted him down. The influence was extremely bad, so he was brought to the capital by the Ministry of Punishment.
Bapu didn't care, he gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun and said: "Young man and young lady are kind-hearted, sir, don't scare them. Although we have killed people before, we are locked in the cell now, so we can't hurt them anymore. , not to mention, they brought me food, I am too late to be grateful, how could they harm others?"
Tao Yi sneered, "Didn't the old woman Ban in Qijia Village, Maozhou, Jiannan Road take you in and give you two meals? Just because her son came back from the county and seemed to have seen your wanted portrait, you Killing their mother and son cruelly, the grace of a meal doesn't seem to be that important to you."
Babu stopped talking.
Tao Yi turned to Bai Shan and Man Bao and said, "You guys chat, I'll wait for you outside."
