Chapter eighty-eighth
Chapter 88: Arrogant at first and respectful at the end
The guard was extremely obese. He heard this and sneered at Huigang:
"You are now a suspect in the assassination of the Governor-General, Duke Grayson, and you are still thinking about going out?"
The monk was stunned and thought that he had done nothing, so why was he considered a suspect? But he still asked with kindness:
"We are travelers from Flying Whale Harbor, ready to go to the Drew Empire from here."
The jailer asked coldly:
"Who can prove this?"
When he talked about this, the monk was a little silenced. How could he find the person who proved himself? The prison guard left with a sneer. The girl who had not spoken next to him lap the corner of the monk's clothes and whispered:
"Brother Huigang, I'm a little hungry."
When he heard this monk, he became anxious. He didn't know anything at this time. He didn't want to use his own force to rush out. In this way, he would inevitably cause trouble in this city.
But the girl is talking about hunger here, which is also a difficult problem in front of her. Speaking of which, when the monk was walking in the world in his previous life, he also stayed in the prison cell of the government, but there were some ways to deal with these prisoners.
When the fat prisoner passed through the cell again, Huigang called the man in front of him. The prisoner looked unfriendly. The monk took out the change he had in his pocket and said with a smile:
"My sister is a little hungry. Can you please make some food for me?"
The jailer looked at the money in his hand, smiled, and did not say anything. The monk understood what he meant, but when he was taken here, the money was still in the hotel where he lived, and there was still money there. Suddenly he remembered that he took out the ring that had been in his pocket for a long time.
When the monk remembered that there was a ring obtained in the Gravel Town in his pocket. After the female elf, Jiani, recognized it as the Archbishop's seal ring, did not tell him that Huigang had always regarded this ring as a souvenir of the past and did not take it very seriously. Seeing that the prison guard in front of him wanted to continue asking for it, he took the ring out.
The material of the seal ring was obviously not the bronze that the monk thought. The fat jailer didn't know anything after looking at it for a few seconds, but the next jailer nodded at Huigang and said:
"Wait a moment, I'll give you the bread."
After saying that, he left the corridor. The kitchens of Bipa Castle were all on the lower floor of the prison. As soon as the jailer left the corridor, he saw a bishop of the Church of Light slowly walking in front of him, accompanied by the warden. There was only one reason for the bishop to appear in this dark prison, that is, to confess the prisoners before their death.
The warden said politely to the bishop:
"The above orders are issued by all outsiders who cannot express their identity must be executed, so I will invite you to come here to confess your death to these people tonight. Thank you for your hard work."
The bishop said very hypocritical:
"It is my duty to bring these sinners back to the Lord's arms, and it is not hard."
The warden smiled and nodded, took out a bulging purse from his waist, handed it to the bishop and said:
"This is my meager dedication to the church, please accept it."
The bishop took the purse, obviously he tried it out and was not worth it. He smiled and said while putting the purse in his arms:
"The light of the God of Light will shine on you forever."
The jailer shook respectfully next to him, but he could not help but be happy. He heard that all those who could not explain their identity must be executed, and knew that the blond young man and girl in the prison were also among them, so there was no need to get them any bread, and the money fell into his hands without any trouble.
He was proud of his pride and habitually threw the ring up and caught it. The originally inconspicuous ring flashed under the light of the wind and light in the warden's hand, which immediately attracted the attention of the warden and the bishop.
The warden stopped and said to the fat prisoner:
"Take that thing and I'll see if you've exploited the prisoner's property again."
The tone was very majestic. The prison guard cursed in his heart, thinking that the ring would not belong to him soon, but he still had a smile on his face. He trotted over and handed the ring to the warden.
The warden originally thought it should be something like gems, but he didn't expect it to be an inconspicuous ring without inlay. He was disappointed and wanted to stuff it into his pocket.
The bishop next to him looked familiar and said to the warden:
"Your Excellency, please show me that ring."
The warden handed over and said with a smile:
"If you like it, stay it, the style is still very quaint."
The bishop of the Church of Light did not speak, and carefully bent down under the wind lamp held by the warden under the light to observe, flipped it, and looked at the top of the seal ring. His hands suddenly trembled, and under the surprised gaze of the two people next to him, his whole body began to tremble.
The bishop grabbed the fat prisoner with a fierce move beyond imagination, lowered his voice and said:
"Damn it, you got this ring from there, tell me."
The unprepared jailer was frightened by this sudden action and stuttered for a long time before answering:
"A young blonde man from the 78th cell inside."
The bishop pushed the prisoner away and hurriedly turned around and said to the warden:
"Don't execute these prisoners first. If something goes wrong, I will go and meet General Bati first."
Looking at the prisoner's face full of confusion, the bishop lay down in his ear and whispered a few words, then handed the ring to the prisoner. The prisoner looked at the two people in front of him with a questioning face, muttering, and was secretly afraid that he had messed up with something. After seeing the whispers, the prisoner's face changed suddenly. In the cold prison, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
The bishop hurriedly left with the priests who were following behind. The warden was stunned and picked up the ring in his hand and looked at it for a while. Suddenly, he slapped the fat prison guard in the face. He followed him with a few kicks, rolled all over the ground, pulled it up, stuffed the ring to the prison guard, and shouted in a low voice:
"How did you get this ring? Say!"
The jailer didn't dare to say anything else, and covered his face and replied:
"The young man said his sister was hungry and asked me to get some food for them."
When the warden heard this answer, he was about to get angry but put down his hand and ordered coldly:
"Go to the kitchen and drinks, and then exchange the blackmailed things for him. Do you know, blind dog things, go quickly."
The prison guard was afraid of pain in his body and felt inexplicably confused. However, when he saw the prison chief's murderous look, he didn't dare to ask too much, so he ran towards the kitchen.
"Wait, Tom, go to my house and ask my chef to prepare some food carefully, so that he can ask a few more people to help you as soon as possible, get out of here."
The prison guard Tom went to buy the meal with questions. The warden walked around the place for several times, really didn't know what to do.
The words the bishop said in his ear just now were:
"That young man was the archbishop's messenger."
The church class of the church in the city or region is the bishop, and the church heads of some large areas of small or large countries are the cardinals. The twelve Archbishops of Light are the legendary twelve Archbishops of Light. The authority of Archbishops of Light is not only reflected in his religious class, but also in secular regimes often give them the same respect. For example, the chief advisor of the Audan Empire was an Archbishop of Light. In the more pious Drew Empire, the most important position in the empire was the Archbishop of the Church of Light.
The Mastan City-State Union is just a vassal state of Drew. The highest level of the Church of Light is a cardinal. At this time, an archbishop's messenger suddenly appeared in his prison, making him not afraid.
Huigang and the girl had been waiting in the prison for nearly two hours, but there was no movement. The monk was quite anxious when he saw the girl holding her hunger. He knew that the prison guard was probably going to go back with the things. The monk sighed and thought that it was easy to break through the prison, but he wanted to hide from the girl in Tibet again, which was really a pain for the girl.
But this was a shame. The monk was about to take action but smelled the scent of food.
Seeing the fat prison guard walking in with a plate in fear and fear, there were several people following behind him, holding various food containers.
Originally, in the monk's idea, the bribes of scattered coins were at most exchanged for some cold bread, but the scene in front of him was unexpected. The fat prison guard opened the prison door with a smile on his face and brought the food in. When he saw the content, Huigang was surprised. The food containers were all extremely exquisite utensils. Although the dishes inside were not delicacies, according to the monk's understanding of the world, it was also the food of wealthy families.
"Please use, please use. I prepared these things in a hurry. I hope you don't dislike them."
The one who spoke was a steward who looked like a butler behind. The warden was afraid that the jailer would cause trouble for him, so he sent his servant over. The warden in Javier City was held by an officer from Drew's garrison. He has always been a risk-free and rich position, so it is not uncommon for a warden to have a butler to serve him.
