Chapter 96: Three Longs and Two Shorts
"Dare you ask if it's Liu Shengqi?"
The two prisoners in the investigation and investigation department asked.
“It’s right down.”
Liu Ruiying said.
It was extremely meaningless to conceal the identity of the people in the prison, so Liu Ruiying decided to tell the truth, but he did not take off the mask on his face.
"Some things need Liu Shengqi and us to go back to Zhaozhu."
The two said.
Liu Ruiying nodded in agreement, neither asking anything, nor showing any timidity. As for the authenticity, he did not consider it. When he was in the alley, the three military officers who forbidden patrol the city were only half right. It should be "There may be many people in the capital who dare to pretend to be the Investigation and Inspectorate Department, but there are probably no one who dare to pretend to be the Investigation and Inspectorate Department." Because even Liu Ruiying grew up in the Investigation and Inspectorate Department since childhood, he knew very little about the Investigation and Inspectorate Department and was very taboo.
So he just took a deep look at the boss when he left.
When Liu Ruiying followed the two people from the imperial prison to return to the gate of the Zhongdu Inspection and Quarantine Department, he still had a mask on his face, but because he was caught between the two people, he did not stop him.
Walking into the gate of the Zhongdu Chaji Office, he followed the two of them on a completely different new road and led straight to the imperial prison. Behind the archway, two large blood-red iron doors were open, and lanterns were hung on the door. Although they were not lit, they were shining by the sun, and the red on the door panel at the back was also blood-red.
"Liu Shengqi! Please forgive me if you have any mistakes and welcome me!"
A man walked out of the gate of the imperial prison and said to the story.
He was kind-hearted, smiling, and bowed to Liu Ruiying on his own initiative.
Liu Ruiying returned the greeting, but he felt even more frightened... He had long known that the imperial prison was a place where people could eat and not spit out bones. This false act was nothing more than a courtesy first and then a soldier. He didn't know what kind of sharp blade was hidden behind his smiling face. But since he had already walked here, he had made the worst plan.
"I remember that before Liu Shengqi left, we had a relationship with each other, but I guess Liu Shengqi doesn't remember it, right?"
The man said again.
"I just returned to Zhongdu City and was confused, and I really couldn't remember it."
Liu Ruiying said without hesitation.
In fact, he already had a shadow in his heart.
He has indeed seen this person, but he can't even say he will meet once, so it's more appropriate to pass by him. The Zhongduanjian Department has so many people coming and going, so it's common for anyone to pass by him. He is not familiar with him and does not say hello specifically, so how can he have any impression?
When Liu Ruiying received the order and walked out of the Tianmu Provincial Patrol House, the man happened to go in. It was just that he was so humble that he looked up at each other and gave Liu Ruiying an impression. However, this man was not wearing the official uniform of the imperial prison at that time, so he didn't know who this person was.
After saying this, Liu Ruiying reached out to remove the mask from her face and stood in front of the gate of the Zhao Prison. There were many good people coming and going behind her. Fortunately, Liu Ruiying turned her back to them, so she couldn't see her face clearly. But when they passed by the Zhao Prison, they saw four people standing in front of her, and they would deliberately slow down and prick up their ears, wanting to know what happened to the Zhao Prison. Why did they take two people in less than twelve hours?
"Please beside Fu Yunzhou, Liu Shengqi!"
This person said.
Then he took off a lantern from the door, lit it with a flint, turned around and walked in front to lead the way, and Liu Ruiying followed the other two people into the road.
Although the door is bright, there is a dark and deep corridor connected inside. It is so quiet that it makes people feel anxious. Only the four people's footsteps are heard.
After passing through this corridor, what appeared in front of Liu Ruiying was a very vast garden. Logically speaking, this garden should not be described as "dark", but this was his first reaction.
Everyone thinks that the imperial prison should be a bottomless cold pond. Who would have thought that it would be so elegant? Liu Ruiying stood still and looked around. He saw the shadows of trees swaying in the yard, and there were a circle of flowers and plants that could not be named at the bottom of the wall. Looking at the shape of the flowers, it was like a bright moon after autumn, which was a little more angry than the real moonlight.
Liu Ruiying followed Fu Yunzhou around several bushes of low shrubs and walked on the roadless grass. Soon, a five-story house appeared in front of him. The lights were brightly lit up and down. It was not the effect of sunlight during the day, but the lamps lit inside. However, Liu Ruiying had never seen such a bright lamp, which illuminated the entire house as if it was on fire.
It is so bright that it makes people panic. Without the urge to enter, there will always be dark places in a house, and the lights will not be completely turned on. However, this house is so big, but it seems that there are lights on every corner, and there is no dark place.
It is just that so deliberately creates a warm, bright and lively feeling that it seems to be overwhelming, making people's hearts extremely empty, as if standing on a brightly lit street, but there is no familiar person. Even if there is a familiar person, the person regards himself as a passerby as if he has not seen it.
The five-story house has only one entrance and exit, and a spacious step built with bluestone slabs is printed out into the fan-shaped hall in the back house. Liu Ruiying has never seen such a strange structure.
This house and hall are also a very particular subject. The so-called conditions of the family must be full of doors, large windows, large depths, and large eaves. The purpose is to have a broad vision and go straight to nature. Only in this way can human power achieve "unity with heaven". In addition, from ancient times to the present, whether it is the true Onmyoji who has mastered the Taoist craftsmanship or those cheating wise men, they all advocate the saying "one life, two fortunes, and three Feng Shui". Therefore, this house and hall are connected with the fortunes and blessings of a person throughout their lives, and naturally become the top priority.
According to the Five Elements, the south is fire, the color is red, and the control of heat; the north is water, the color is black, and the control of cold, so the direction of the house should face the sun and avoid yin. However, the south face meant power and dignity during the imperial period. Therefore, no matter what the inner hall layout is, the place where the mansion sits must sit north and south. However, the five floors in front of us are completely contrary to these basic principles and Liu Ruiying's cognition. It sits east and west, and whether it is the garden or the bluestone steps at the door, they all point to the west.
What's more, any well-known family and other official residences in Zhongdu City want to be built on a decent Feng Shui treasure land. Even if you can't find a perfect place, you have to require a wide front and a back. Only when the front is wide will there be more extra land for building gardens, building ponds, and placing strange stones. There is a support behind it, which can block the wind and make the house and people living in it feel like they need to rely on it.
In the past, people did not have these statements on the land. They often lived in water, or wherever the soil was fertile, which was conducive to farming, and could eat enough, they lived wherever they lived. It was more harmonious than the landscape built by these people today. If a few stones fell together and piled into a mountain, it would still be less charming and imposing than the real mountain. Even if a mountain in the garden could show the so-called "extraordinary" situation, it was not a superstitious comfort in the heart.
The shallow mountains and rivers mean to be used for viewing, but it is in nature. If you spend so much effort to put mountains and rivers into your home, you have long been separated from the meaning of loving mountains and rivers. No matter how much you like, you will be tired when you look at them every day.
I am busy every day, full of fatigue, and I don’t have enough time to deal with affairs, so where can I get the time to see the mountains and rivers? In this way, the mountains and rivers that were originally integrated with nature have become alone because they are used for momentum. They look at the huge house every day and receive flattering or kind words from different people.
If you can't hear sincere appreciation, you will also be a disguised cruelty towards this landscape.
"What do Liu Shengqi think about this place?"
Fu Yunzhou asked, with a proud tone.
Even if the garden, house, and hall are not his, it is reasonable to be proud of his place as a prisoner. Hearing his tone, Liu Ruiying's uneasy mood suddenly subsided a lot.
He felt that the imperial prison was not as terrifying as he had imagined before. Even if there were not many people coming in, looking at the scenery here, even if you visit famous mountains and rivers, you may not be able to find one that can be compared with it. With the two kingdoms of Dingxi where he had just been to Zhenbei, I guess they are more beautiful and more vigorous. But who would like to die in a place where birds do not shit, and there is no green star?
People always love beautiful things. Even when they are afraid of death, the scenery is good and the mood will be better. If it is dry and green, it will bring a boredom to the dying people to be relieved as soon as possible.
Green is the color of life, and can give the last goodwill of the dying person who shatters hope.
"It's indeed a surprise! To be honest, I believe you know. Even the people in the Zhongdu Inspection and Inspection Department are the biggest taboos when they hear it. I have been curious about what the situation is here many times. However, every time I wander around, I will stay away from it intentionally or unintentionally. I didn't expect that when I came in, it would be such a blessed place!"
Liu Ruiying said.
Fu Yunzhou nodded with a smile on his face, but he was amazed in his heart.
There are not many people coming to the prison, but they are definitely not small. Basically, they saw the two wide open blood-red door panels and scared half of the three souls and seven spirits. There are very few people who can walk to this garden by themselves. They are mostly dragging and urging, foaming at the mouth, and turning their eyes, looking like they are desperate.
As for how many of these people are real and how many people are fake, Fu Yunzhou has never calculated it. But this pretending to be crazy seems to be a recognized method of eliminating the crime after being admitted to the imperial prison. Everyone can learn without a teacher. Anyone who twitches and laughs wildly are all children's menstruation. He has seen many of them gnaw grass and eat soil, chew feces and urine.
But this is the first time I have seen it like Liu Ruiying, strolling around in the garden and talking freely.
This person must not be comparable to ordinary people, at least his mood is very different.
For a moment, Fu Yunzhou didn't know how to divide Liu Ruiying. In his experience, this person didn't need to speak. Just take a moment to understand him. And there was no difference in the Zhao Prison, no matter how deep the pen was, or the martial artist who had seen swords and blood. What Zhao Prison pursued was never to be biased towards, or to preside over justice and justice.
Anyone who comes here has more or less problems. Just like a brand new silk shirt with oil stains, you say it doesn't matter. But after the oil stains dim, it will eventually turn into a dazzling flaw.
In Fu Yunzhou's opinion, he would rather call the imperial prison a mill. Everything that happened and he did here was nothing more than using an invisible, invisible and huge millstone to grind the body and spirit of a person, and then poured out and washed away like dregs.
As part of the Zhongdu Investigation and Inspectorate Department, the imperial prison is not only responsible for monitoring and spying like the Tianer Province and Tianmu Province, and he has no choice but to stop. He has no choice but to act in the entire world investigated by the Investigation and Inspectorate Department.
"Please be in Liu Shengqi!"
Fu Yunzhou found himself distracted.
When he turned around, he saw Liu Ruiying looking at him with a smile, and hurriedly spoke.
I felt a little embarrassed.
He actually lost his attitude at this time.
This emotion came too inexplicably, and Fu Yunzhou even felt deeply guilty. As a prisoner in the imperial prison, how could he be in a daze in front of the person involved who was about to be asked? How could he feel so energetic because the other party smiled and looked at him?
Liu Ruiying walked in with her hands behind her back.
Fu Yunzhou followed him and coughed softly, trying to put aside the random emotions in his heart.
People will not cough for no reason.
If it is not sick, it is to use this to cover up something.
Liu Ruiying also knows this method.
And he also knew that Fu Yunzhou was determined not to get sick.
Then what he wanted to hide was clear at a glance.
It is the timidity in his heart.
There are only two wide wooden chairs in this fan-shaped hall, made of golden nanmu. Although there are no carved patterns on it, it looks simple and simple and extraordinary. Next to each wooden chair is a few tables, and a complete set of bottles wrapped in gold and silver thread with gold and white blue.
However, some people would insert a few water-raising monstera into their bottles, while others were empty. There was a huge mirror on both sides of the walls. No matter who walked in, they could see three of them.
Liu Ruiying walked to the mirror, tilted her head and suddenly smiled. Then she took off one of the outer pieces on her body and put them on a chair. Then she reached out to sort out his hair because of the messy hair of his sideburns when he was dragging his jacket just now. In fact, he was not so particular at all, and the hall was not so hot that he could take off his clothes.
But after completing this smooth process, it feels like I have gone home. This makes Fu Yunzhou even more confused, and even secretly doubts whether Liu Ruiying had been to this imperial prison, or had known the news before the imperial prison went to find him, so he was so confident after making complete preparations?
"We are talking in the hall?"
Liu Ruiying said.
It was actually the backbone.
He didn't need to say this, but he had already spoken, so Fu Yunzhou had to smile and nodded.
After the fan-shaped hall passed, the main hall was not so generous. Instead, it became very crowded due to the complex decorations. Whether it was the tables and chairs or decorations, they were all piled up in the east and west. Not only were there chairs, but there were also couches, separated from left to right, which seemed very incongruous. On the center to the right, there was a rosewood eight-immortal table, with at least three inches thick carpet embroidered with a double dragon playing with Dinghaizhu.
The other table tables were exactly three long and two short, surrounded by face to face, and surrounded all the people entering the main hall.
Next to the legs of the Eight Immortals Table, there were four three feet high in the empty carpet. The blue clouds and fine porcelain cavitations were empty and nothing. It was very abruptly placed there, and the black bottle mouth stared at everyone who peeked at it like an abyss.
The ebony rack was equipped with a screen with clouds and bats inlaid with mica pieces. Mrs. Qian saw the chairs covered with cymbals and strings. There were two wooden racks at the front of the chair, one with a small drum, and the other with a row of Shengxiao flutes. The lights in the hall were brilliant, and the lights on both sides shot up from the ground, making a golden light on a large gong flash.
"Does Liu Shengqi know that there is a nickname in this main hall?"
Fu Yunzhou asked.
He always has to say something to turn the situation around.
"Let me listen carefully."
Liu Ruiying said.
"It's called three long and two short halls!"
