With Qin Youran's delay, Yun Yue had already strode up the steps and came to Jing Zhaosi's door.
He raised his hand and knocked on the high door lightly. After a while, someone inside responded, "Who?"
Qin Youran heard Yunyue calmly saying, "From the Xing Department."
The pace inside immediately accelerated, and someone came and opened the door with a lantern, "Oh, you are..."
Qin Youran saw Yunyue pull something out of her sleeve and handed it forward. Before she could see what it was, the man immediately shrank her neck and said, "Please come inside."
Yun Yue nodded calmly, then looked back at Qin Youran, "Not leaving yet?"
Qin Youran hurriedly followed, and the lamp-bearer led the way. As he walked, he said with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that you can come at this late hour."
Yun Yue was silent for a while before slowly saying: "After they went back just now, they found that some confessions were not clear, so I specifically asked me to ask again."
"Yes, yes. Please, please." The man said as he led them through the house to the back yard.
The light in the courtyard was bright, the surrounding lights were brightly lit, the torches were next to each other, and even a needle dropped on the ground was visible, and there was nothing in the middle.
Qin Youran raised her eyebrows secretly. If someone wants to go back to prison, don't mention Jing Zhaosi, I'm afraid they won't even be able to get out of this yard.
Don't say anything else, just talk about the design of this yard. If there are two floors around, if archers are arranged, ten thousand arrows will be sent at an order. When the time comes, let alone prisoners, it will be difficult for a bird to fly out.
Unexpectedly, a small Jing Zhaosi was so heavily guarded, I don't know what the Criminal Ministry would be like
She thought this way, the man had already opened the prison door, smiled and said, "Two, this is it, please come in."
Standing at the door of the prison, a feeling of dampness and coldness rushed toward your face. The light inside formed a sharp contrast with the courtyard outside, like the big open mouth of a giant beast. The inside was dark and full of unknown dangers. .
Qin Youran held her breath, and Yun Yue walked ahead calmly, kicking away some small gravel with his foot from time to time, so as not to trip her.
The brazier on the wall is not burning well, and the long passage is narrow and dark. You can listen to it when you walk over it.
The sound of my own footsteps echoed, which was particularly shocking in the dark.
There are also abnormal noises from time to time, or the sound of iron chains, or someone moans and weeping in a low voice, coupled with the wind blowing in, the rustling sound, these sounds are mixed together, like a ghost crying.
Qin Youran was in a daze, wondering if he was going to the Yin Cao Difu.
She was a little lost as she walked, unprepared. Yunyue in front of me didn't know when to stop. She didn't pay attention, and ran straight up. The tip of her nose hurt. She couldn't help covering her breath. This guy's muscles... As hard as iron.
Yun Yue turned around and saw her rubbing her nose with aggrieved expression, her eyes flashing with crystal light, in this dark and damp cell, against the faint fire light crackling on the wall, he suddenly felt that her eyes Like the most beautiful stars in the sky.
There was a momentary urge to hug her into her arms and protect her.
He took a step forward, and just as he moved his finger, the person who picked up the lamp said, "Please, please."
In a word, Yunyue had to return to his senses. He felt a little irritated, waved his hand and said, "You can withdraw first. Just tell me which cell you are in."
"...Yes." The man lowered his head and said, "Go ahead and turn right. The third one is."
"Yeah." Yunyue nodded, waved his hand to make the person retreat, and walked forward with Qin Youran.
He asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Qin Youran rubbed his nose and said dullly, "It's okay."
She looked around, her voice was so low that only the two of them could hear her, "What did you show? The token of Prince An's Mansion? No? Is it the badge of the Xing Ministry?"
Yun Yue hooked her lips and looked at the way she leaned forward to lower her voice, feeling a little happy in her heart, nodded and said, "Smart."
"How did you get the badge of the Xing Department?" she asked.
"Steal." Yunyue said.
"..." Qin Youran.
Well, being able to steal it can be regarded as someone's skill.
Walking all the way to the door of the cell, before I could stand still, I heard the fine cries coming from inside.
"Let me out... I really didn't grab it..."
"I was wronged, have you made a mistake? I am from the General's Mansion, you guys who don't have long eyes..."
"Let me out, should
Dead, this horrible place, don't stay for a moment..."
The person inside is holding his head in his hands and carrying a heavy chain in his hands. He is sitting in a haystack with his head hanging down, his mouth is constantly muttering, his voice is crying, and he sounds very sad. .
But no one paid any attention to him. He put his elbows on his lap, and his head was resting on his hands. He planted down from time to time, and the chain rattled.
Chen Bao.
Yun Yue stepped a little away and let Qin Youran step forward. She stepped forward lightly, but Chen Bao didn't notice it at all, and muttered to herself.
Qin Youran raised his hand and tapped on the cell fence lightly, making a crisp, light noise.
Chen Bao finally found that someone was coming. He raised his head and looked up. Before he could see who it was, he immediately stood up and said, "Do you want to let the Lord go out?"
Qin Youran smiled slightly, in the dim light, like a mandala in full bloom, "Chen Bao, whose father are you?"
Chen Bao rubbed his eyes and looked at it with some doubts. He couldn't help but walked a few steps to the door. He stared at Qin Youran for a long while, his eyes slowly widening.
Qin Youran only changed his menswear without making any other changes. This face can still be recognized by Chen Bao.
"you you… "
Chen Bao was shocked to speak incoherently. He couldn't believe his eyes, let alone how Qin Youran got here, and he still had this look, he really didn't know what to say.
"What am I?" Qin Youran smiled, looking at him with clear eyes, "You don't want to see me? But, besides me, no one will see you anymore."
Chen Bao was stunned for a moment, and grasped the railing tightly with both hands, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Qin Youran asked back, smiling with crooked eyes, but there was a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Chen Bao's hand slowly clenched, and the iron chain on his wrist made a slight noise, "No wonder... They don't believe that I am a member of the General's Mansion. It is you, right? You told them that I was not, I was lying. , So they won't let me go!"
Qin Youran raised her eyebrows slightly and said in amazement: "Oh? You are from the General's Mansion? Are you talking in a dream or I remembered it wrong? I was in charge of all affairs in the mansion by my father's orders, but I never remembered that we You are the number one in the General Mansion."
