Chapter 108 Intense gongs and drums(1/2)
"Is there anything else?"
Mrs. Ling asked.
She saw that Liu Ruiying seemed to not want to leave, and she looked like she wanted to speak but stopped.
"A person in the investigation department who was on duty at the gate last night seemed to be summoned by the imperial prison. I don't know why."
Liu Ruiying said.
"Is there such a thing?"
When Mrs. Ling heard this, she asked anxiously.
Although the imperial prison is on par with the verdict, any matter involving the verdict or the verdict must be extremely cautious.
This time, Mrs. Ling also informed Wei Qilin of the chief officer in advance and decided not to remain silent. However, she did not know what Liu Ruiying said at all.
"That's true, the news is very accurate."
Liu Ruiying said.
In the dark, he felt that Dong Qing was summoned by the investigation department, which should be related to him, but the specific details were not very clear.
"You go and find out the situation. If nothing big is happening, just let it go."
Mrs. Ling said after pondering for a moment.
I vaguely thought that who would do this matter, but the man had been expelled from the imperial prison. Now he is not sure whether he is dead or alive, so there is no need for her to come forward in person.
After Liu Ruiying agreed, she took Li Huailei out of the "three longs and two shorts".
"I didn't expect that this was the situation in the imperial prison."
Li Huailei sighed.
She has always looked at this place from a traditional perspective. By just by name, she thought it must be a terrifying and bloody place, with corpses everywhere and wailing. It seems that her eyes are too shallow and her thoughts are too old.
This place is not inferior to any place outside. Although it is severe, some points still reveal a warm and human touch. Many places outside are warm on the surface, but they are always cold in their bones.
The other five Yuntai tribes had already passed the imperial prison government, holding long swords and standing in line.
"Yes... I didn't expect it!"
Liu Ruiying said with emotion.
Li Huailei looked at Liu Ruiying strangely. She always felt that he had asked Liu Ruiying when he had become the imperial prison before. Liu Ruiying did not tell the truth, but when he heard his tone, he felt that it was not a fake.
It would be useless to think more, Li Huailei shook his head, wanting to calm himself down.
The scenery in the prison is indeed good, and it is much more elegant than that in Zhongdu City or the Seiji Department. But the place is not big enough, and the flowers and corridors seem a bit crowded.
The surrounding walls are towering and airtight. Now it’s noon, which is the hottest event in summer. Standing at the “three longs and two shorts” of money, Li Huailei was still sweating constantly, and then looked at Liu Ruiying’s head with an inquiring look.
Liu Ruiying reached out to summon a prison guard in the imperial prison, and then said to Li Huailei:
"Let him take you to go around in prison now and get familiar with it. At least before the literary world's dragon and tiger battle ends, you will all live here for a long time, so there is no need to go back to Xiangteng Inn."
Li Huailei nodded in agreement.
They have no choice either. Rootless duckweed and willow catkins in the wind, as long as they can have a place to settle down.
After the arrangement was made, he watched Li Huailei and others stroll around under the guidance of the prison guards of the imperial prison, and he followed another prison guard to the direction of the prison.
When you pass through a long and winding corridor, you get darker and darker, which is completely different from the scenery in front of the "Three Long and Two Short Halls".
The corridor, from seeing the flowing clouds on the sky to being completely closed, was only more than ten feet away from each other, and the dark lamps hanging on the walls illuminated a little distance below it.
Liu Ruiying deliberately slowed down. He always felt alert in an uneven environment.
His pace was slightly staggered with the rhythm of walking in front of the jailer, and the echoes generated were extremely harmonious in this corridor.
“How far is it?”
Liu Ruiying asked.
"There are still five lamps when you go back to Liu Dianzhu."
The jailer said.
The distance between the lamps in the corridor is the same, and over time the jailers here have become accustomed to using "how many lamps" to calculate the distance.
After walking through five lamps, he came to a circular hall, which was brighter than before, and there were many forks around him. Liu Ruiying looked around and felt very novel. The prisonman turned around quietly and stood there waiting.
"Liu Dianjue, here!"
After Liu Ruiying finished watching, he pointed his right hand in his mouth and spoke.
He took Liu Ruiying along a fork in the road. There were sealed small doors on both sides, as regular as the lamps on the walls of the corridor before.
The jailer did not stop and walked straight to the deepest point, and a slightly wider door stopped.
"When the people in the investigation department were summoned, they were here for a while, regardless of their official position."
The jailer explained.
He specially found a step to make up for it regardless of the position, and was worried that Liu Ruiying would think too much, not understand the rules here, and thought that he was divided into different levels, and even the waiting position needed to define an official position.
In fact, the positioning of official positions here is not as strict as other places. No matter what official is here, they are serving Mrs. Ling and they must understand everything. So in fact, official positions are just a title.
Liu Ruiying nodded.
The word "wait for a moment" means extremely polite, and it is almost the same if it is detained.
The jailer took out the key and inserted it into the door lock. A "crunch" twist came from, and the door naturally bounced open a gap.
Liu Ruiying opened the door and walked in. The prison guard stood at the door and did not follow.
It was extremely bright inside. There was only one table and two chairs in the spacious room. Dong Qing sat in the Chair Mountain facing away from the door. When he heard the movement, he suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Ruiying.
"Liu Shengqi?"
Dong Qing said in surprise.
Then the hope that rose in his eyes suddenly dimmed.
When you enter the imperial prison, what can Liu Ruiying do if you are? Sit here like you, waiting for the invisible sharp blade to wave it.
“When did you come in?”
Liu Ruiying asked.
He pulled open the chair opposite him and sat down.
There was a teapot Ganoderma lucidum teacup on the table, and the white breath was still coming from the mouth of the teapot.
"It's been two and a half hours."
Dong Qing said.
Liu Ruiying frowned.
Although the house was bright, there was nothing but the sun was sunny. How could he calculate the time so accurately? If he spoke nonsense, it would be a bit too arrogant. Liu Ruiying instantly laughed at his good impression of him for most of the time.
"They come back and add tea every half hour. I didn't drink a sip. They would pour out the cold tea and replace it with a pot of hot. From the beginning of coming in until you ask, they changed tea five times in total, so it was two and a half hours."
Dong Qing continued.
Liu Ruiying stretched her eyebrows after hearing this.
If it was half an hour, as long as you were not a fool, no one could estimate half an hour, let alone a person in the investigation department.
"Did they say why they summoned you to the imperial prison?"
Liu Ruiying asked, and gave him a cup of tea.
Dong Qing was obviously very afraid of Zhaozhu. He sat on the chair and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he didn't dare to drink the tea. Even though Liu Ruiying was holding the cup in both hands when he poured him tea, he seemed extremely polite, but he didn't drink it. He even wanted to stay away from the white breath that came out of the tea cup and leaned back.
"Um?"
Seeing that he did not answer his question, Liu Ruiying had no choice but to speak out again.
"It's because of Liu Shengqi, you..."
Dong Qing said.
"Because of me?"
Liu Ruiying was just holding the teapot and was about to pour a cup for herself, but when she heard Dong Qing's words, she was stunned on the spot.
"Liu Shengqi still remembers that I was on duty when you walked out of the inspection department last night?"
Dong Qing asked.
"Of course I remember."
If Liu Ruiying didn't remember, she wouldn't come here on purpose. It was because she thought Dong Qing was good and had some thoughts about him that she reported this to Mrs. Ling.
"After going out, you fainted on the street. I went up to help me, and then you woke up slowly. It was because of this action that the prison said that I had left my post without any responsibilities, which resulted in a full cup of tea at the gate of the Investigation and Inspectorate Department that I was summoned here..."
Dong Qing said.
Liu Ruiying slapped the table and immediately stood up.
Dong Qing was shocked by this sudden sound and felt a little overwhelmed. He immediately wanted to stand up, but he fell back on the chair with a "splash".
