Man Bao held the medicine box and looked at Tao Yi with wide eyes, and asked in disbelief: "What, you can't see me?"

Tao Yi's eyes fell on the basket and medicine box they brought, and said: "This is the order we received early this morning, and we followed it, but although you can't see me, the food and medicine you sent can still help.

Pass it in."

Man Bao turned around and looked at Bai Shan. They looked down at the food in the basket and the medicine bag she was holding, and both frowned.

Tao Yi probably knew what they were worried about and said: "Don't worry, if the medicine and food pass through my hands, they will never be touched by a third person again. I will send them directly to the cell."

The two of them could only give him the basket and medicine bag in confusion, "Master Tao, please help us ask Xiang Chao and Xiang Mingxue if they have anything special they need. We will deliver it to them tomorrow."

Tao Yi agreed and went in with his things. After a while, he came out and shook his head at the two of them: "They don't have any requirements."

Bai Shan rolled his eyes, coughed slightly and said, "Master Tao, we brought some things to Ba Bo this time. Can we go in and see him?"

Man Bao nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, I have always only heard his voice but never seen his person. This time I have to see him properly."

Tao Yi took a deep look at them and nodded: "We can see you soon."

Bai Shan then turned to Man Bao and said, "Just wait for me. I'll go back to the car to get my things."

Manbao nodded.

Bai Shan ran out and found Daji who was waiting outside and said: "Go and buy some steamed buns quickly. I want big meat buns. Well, buy ten or eight. It doesn't matter whether they taste good or not, as long as they are big and have a lot of meat."

Although Daji didn't know what the young master wanted to do, he turned around and ran away in the carriage.

There are no stalls in front of Tianlao Gate, so no one would take this as a bad luck, but there is a bun seller just around the corner from this street.

Daji went to buy some buns at a very fast speed and asked the carriage to rush back, handing two paper bags of buns to Bai Shan.

The buns were just taken out of the steamer, and they were still hot. Bai Shan felt a little hot while holding them.

He carried the paper bag and rushed into the prison. Tao Yi, who was almost bored with waiting, saw him coming in with two bags of steaming buns, and she knew with her toes that he had bought them freshly.

He turned around and led them in, pretending not to notice.

There are three lanes in the prison. Officials like them usually move around in the lobby. It is also very dark here. Next door is the torture chamber. Bai Shan and the others used to live in the first lane, but now he leads them directly in.

The second way.

Unlike their corridor, which only held the four of them, many cells here were crowded with people, and the cells were very small. Basically, there was only one person squatting in each cell.

Man Bao looked all the way and couldn't help but ask Tao Yi, who was walking in front, in a low voice, "Master Tao, why are the cells here so small?"

Tao Yi said expressionlessly: "These are the felons who were escorted to the capital by me and have been approved for execution by Qiu."

He glanced at Man Bao and said: "The place where you live is usually reserved for prisoners. Of course, they will be sent to the sky jail, and they will most likely be sent to the execution ground in the end."

Man Bao and Bai Shan felt a little cold on their necks at the same time. After swallowing their saliva, they asked, "What about Shao Ban?"

"Half of them will be exiled, and only a few of them will be able to escape unscathed, so you are in good luck."

Man Bao couldn't help but mutter, "We are not prisoners."

Tao Yi didn't squint his eyes, "If the evidence you gave cannot be confirmed to be true, then it is a false accusation against the royal family, which is a crime of killing the clan. Then there will only be more people in the prison, not less. Okay.

Here we are, here we are, Ba Bo.”

When the dark group of people leaning on the kang heard his name, they raised their heads and looked outside. When they met the eyes of Bai Shan and Man Bao, he was a little confused, "You're looking for me?"

Bai Shan coughed lightly and said, "Master Ba, I am..."

"Oh, I know, they are from next door." Although Bapu had never seen them before, he recognized their voices and couldn't help but laugh: "You went out yesterday, why did you come in again today?"

Bai Shan passed the bun in his hand forward and said, "Let's come to see you and give you some food by the way."

Ba Bo immediately stepped forward. Unlike Bai Shan and the others, even though he was in prison, his hands and feet were tied with iron chains. The bells jingled as he walked over. When he walked to the cell door, he sat down and walked away from Bai Shan.

He took the paper bag in his hand, picked up a white and fat bun and took a bite. The smell of meat suddenly wafted out, and the people in the nearby cells became restless. They leaned by the door to look at him and couldn't help but swallow.

.

Bai Shan couldn't bear it, and hesitantly 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 brought to this prison without a murder case on his body?"

All death penalty cases in various places must be submitted to the Ministry of Punishment for review, because human life is at stake. Except for those that are particularly urgent, such as to fight disasters or to appease the people, all death penalty cases must go through the Ministry of Punishment except those that require waiting for the county magistrate to override the judgment of the Ministry of Punishment.

Review.

In order to save time and improve efficiency, the Ministry of Punishment usually conducts a unified review after the middle of the year. Official documents after review will be distributed before the autumn harvest, and executions will be carried out in various places. Therefore, prisoners are generally interrogated and executed after autumn.

Only for cases with particularly bad impact or controversial cases, the local government needs to transport the prisoner and the case file to Beijing together, and the Ministry of Punishment will try it again. If there is an unjust, false or wrong case, it will be vindicated. If it is confirmed, it will be to deter the evildoers in the world.

The execution was carried out in Beijing to serve as a warning to others.

Therefore, the prisoners who were finally able to be locked up in the Tianjian Prison of the Ministry of Punishment and awaiting the Autumn Judgment were either those who committed evil acts near the capital, or those who had a particularly bad influence.

For example, Bapu had four lives on his body, all of which were people killed after being discovered during the theft. One of them was a government servant who was chasing him. The impact was extremely bad, so he was brought to the capital by the Ministry of Punishment.

Ba Bo didn't care at all, and said while chewing the bun: "The young man and the young lady are kind-hearted, sir, don't scare them. Although we have killed people, we can't hurt them anymore when they are locked in a cell."

, not to mention, they brought me food, and I was too late to be grateful, so how could I harm others?"

Tao Yi sneered, "Didn't the old lady Ban from Qijia Village, Maozhou, Jiannan Road also take you in and give you two meals? Just because her son came back from the county town and seemed to have seen your wanted portrait, you

If you kill their mother and son so ruthlessly, the favor of a meal doesn't seem to be that important to you."

Ba Bo stopped talking.
