Chapter 28 Arrest of Li Xiu, the Small Banner Officer of the Thousand Households
With this lesson, Li Xiu did not dare to be careless. He stared at the remaining bandit carefully, followed the Jinyiwei who was guarding the prisoner and walked towards Zhao prison.
Accompanied by the creaking sounds that made people's scalp numb, the two heavy iron doors were slowly opened by the Jinyiwei guards guarding the imperial prison.
What caught my eye was a relatively spacious bluestone staircase. The bluestone staircase was slope-shaped, from top to bottom, and oil lamps were fixed on the stone walls on both sides emitting a faint light. As soon as I approached the staircase, a cool breath came to my face, faintly, and there were also shrill screams and wails along the bluestone staircase.
Not to mention those bandits, even Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little cunning in this kind of scene.
"Go! Go quickly!"
The Jinyiwei skillfully pushed the bandits who were slowing down, and he looked familiar.
Li Xiu was relieved at this moment. He was the Jinyiwei. Although the imperial prison was terrifying, it was not terrifying on his head.
After walking along the bluestone stairs, the wailing and screaming became clearer. Then, everyone finally appeared in a rather spacious cave.
As expected, it was the Jinyiwei who was interrogating the prisoner. His bloody body was tied to various torture instruments that were almost beyond Li Xiu's perception. Li Xiu's scalp became numb.
This is true for him, the Jinyiwei, not to mention those bandits and the pampered Zhou Zongjian, who even had a few of them urinated directly!
"Closed those bandits to the lower floor first. This dog official will lock them up here and give him a good look at how our Jinyiwei interrogated the prisoner!"
After Xu Tao's orders, the Jinyiwei also followed the Jinyiwei and moved according to his orders, while Li Xiu followed the Jinyiwei in a daze. Through this spacious cave, there was another bluestone staircase from top to bottom.
Obviously, this imperial prison is more than one floor.
After following the Jinyiwei locked the bandit in the cell, Li Xiu couldn't help but look around. It was similar to the layout of the above floor. He came down from the bluestone stairs, and there were cells separated by bluestone on three sides. Most of the prisoners were imprisoned in the cells, all covered in blood and thin as fire. Most of them collapsed directly in the cell, with a numb expression and no light at all.
Only the few bandits who had just been detained were still strong enough to shout, but it was obvious that at least before the interrogation, no one would pay attention to them.
In the middle of the cave, there is obviously a place for interrogation. Various torture instruments are displayed and placed. The dark brown blood stain is covered with torture instruments. The thick sour, smelly, bloody and yin scent are mixed. The entire cave is filled with a disgusting smell.
On the last side, there is a passage, and there seems to be a layer of prison below.
After looking at it, Li Xiu didn't wait much, so he hurriedly followed the other Jinyiwei and followed the bluestone stairs toward the top.
The Jinyiwei did not stay in this imperial prison for too long, so he walked directly to the square to gather.
Li Xiuben thought there were still some tasks that needed to be arranged, but he didn't expect it to be a spoils-sharing conference.
Under Xu Tao's arrangement, each of them packed silver twelve purses and distributed them to the hands of every Jinyiwei. What Li Xiu did not expect was that he actually had a share.
The purse is not big, about the size of a palm, and a few pieces of silver are scattered inside. When he comes to this world, he falls into the wilderness. Not to mention silver, he hasn't even seen copper coins several times.
But looking at the Jinyiwei beside him, he looked happy and smiling. Li Xiu estimated that the purchasing power of these pieces of silver should be quite large.
When the Jinyiwei left in groups of three or three, Li Xiu, led by Xu Tao, walked through the alley and walked to the streets of the capital.
It was noon at this time, and the sun was shining brightly, and there were fewer people on the streets. However, under the sun, the blood-stained clothes were stained with sweat, and they suddenly became sticky and extremely uncomfortable.
Along the way, watching the shop vendors selling on the roadside talking to customers, Li Xiu also had a rough idea of the few taels of silver in his hands.
He had about three taels of silver in his pocket, and he didn't know much about the quality of the silver, but the silver came from Zhou Zongjian, the imperial censor, and naturally the corrupt silver could not be of too bad quality.
In this way, one tael of silver can probably buy one stone of rice, and one stone of this era...
Li Xiu couldn't help but recall the stone pier used to make the strength in the cave. He remembered that there was one of the stone piers, which seemed to be a standard stone.
"If you have one stone, it is about seventy kilograms in modern times..."
"One tael of silver can buy about seventy kilograms of grain..."
Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but tighten the wallet in his hand. A few taels of silver is really not a small amount!
You know, now is not the era of food and clothing in later generations. In this era, food is a hard currency that is not as good as anything!
One tael of silver can buy more than 70 kilograms of grain, which can satisfy the normal diet of four and four for two or three months. Moreover, this is just a meal of rice and full meal. If you save some food and drink some porridge, it will be normal for six or seven months to eat!
With such purchasing power, it is no wonder that the Jinyiwei smiled happily.
Just as Li Xiu subconsciously thought about what to buy for the three taels of silver, Xu Tao, who was walking in front, had already stopped.
At this time, Li Xiu realized that while he was thinking about things along the way, he had already arrived in front of the Jinyiwei's yamen.
"After entering later, Shaoyan Shao see, don't do anything, otherwise no one will be able to save you, do you understand?"
After giving a reminder, the two of them walked into the Jinyiwei yamen one after another.
Li Xiuben thought something was a big deal, but the result was once again beyond Li Xiu's expectations. He just registered a famous disc and received the clothes and equipment of the Jinyiwei.
Fortunately, after several months of martial arts practice, my body has opened up, looks a bit strong, and I have grown a lot taller. The smaller Jinyi and Sweatshirts are just right in their clothes.
There are two sets of Jinyiwei clothing, of course, it can actually be regarded as one set.
One set of green and green robe clothes that you wear on weekdays, the other set is an iron helmet and black round-neck armor. This set is obviously the armor that protects you when performing tasks.
Li Xiu saw many Jinyiwei, who seemed to be wearing green and beautiful clothes inside, iron helmets on the outside, black round neck armor, and a long sword hanging on the waist. This is what Jinyiwei wears most of the time.
And the legendary flying fish suit, bullfighting suit, and embroidered spring sword...
That seems not to be something that Li Xiu, a small banner official, could hope for.
After walking around the Jinyiwei Office, there was not only more clothing and equipment, but also a formal Jinyiwei identity...
The Jinyiwei arrested Li Xiu, a small banner officer in the Thousand Houses Office!
