Chapter 1744 Hunting and Killing
The high walls of the State Prison are wide and thick, with only two doors in front and back, guarded by soldiers. As long as you walk into the courtyard, a gloomy and terrifying aura will come to your face.
The yard has always been in the yard. Once you enter the main entrance, several stone wall yards will be divided into the yard, but the construction is neat and orderly.
The severely punished prisoners are imprisoned in the middle prison. On each road, fire will be set up at any distance. Of course, there will be jailers patrolling the road, and there will be jailers patrolling regularly in the prison.
When Pei Ji was imprisoned for the serious prisoner, the prison officer in charge of the prison received notice in advance and had already arrived to welcome him after hearing the news.
Outside the prison of the severe prisoner, two jailers were guarding the swords, and the iron-cast gate was locked with chains. The prison officer ordered the jailers to open the chains. Pei Ji stepped inside. It was extremely dark. A rotten smell came to his face, and it was mixed with the undissipating smell of blood. Several followers following Pei Ji couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their noses. Seeing this, the prison officer smiled and said, "The people who are detained here are all evil murderers, so they often torture and interrogate them on weekdays!"
Pei Ji walked down the stone steps, and opposite the stone steps was a spacious torture room, surrounded by wooden fences. The torture instruments inside were very complete, and two fire frames stood in two corners, illuminating the interrogation room very brightly.
It was obvious that I heard someone coming in, and three burly jailers in the interrogation room were already standing in the aisle outside the interrogation room to welcome them respectfully.
Pei Ji turned to the aisle and looked up. The aisle was not spacious, but not narrow. There were prison cells on both sides of the road, and it seemed very quiet. He could faintly hear sighs and groans in pain. Pei Ji glanced at the prison officer next to him and asked, "How many people are there?"
"Report to the general, there are 34 prisoners here, six of whom have been decided. The case was sent to the Shuoquan Ministry of Justice. Only by submitting the case to the Ministry of Justice, you can take it to Shuoquan for beheading." The prison officer said respectfully.
Pei Ji nodded and asked, "Where is the person I'm looking for?"
"General, please come with the younger one." The prison officer turned around and took a torch from a prison guard behind him. He led the way forward, and Pei Ji led several followers to follow behind.
Most of the prisoners in the prison were curled up in the cell, and the sudden fire did not cause their commotion. They often patrol the prisons, which they had become accustomed to.
The road in the prison is very long. Although there are lights in the interrogation room, only half of the pieces can be seen, and the big piece is pitch black. Coupled with the smell of rotten blood, it will always make anyone who rarely enters prison feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, Pei Ji didn't have to walk to the end. Halfway through, there was a separate path on both sides of the left and right. The prison officer held up a torch and turned to the left. Pei Ji followed him and walked to the end. The prison officer stopped, stood in front of a prison door, looked at Pei Ji, and whispered: "It's this person. I have been ordered to interrogate these days and have been punished by a lot of criminal laws, but I can't die."
Through the wooden fenced prison door, Pei Ji vaguely saw the prisoner curled in the corner of the prison cell through the fire of the torch in the prison officer's hand. The man's clothes were now broken. The gray-white clothes were now covered with blood, and a large area was dyed red by blood. The prisoner curled in the corner of the wall as if he was dead, and there was a pile of dry grass under his body, so he lay on the haystack.
"Open the prison door." Pei Ji ordered.
The prison officer had already taken the key chain in his hand and stepped forward to open the iron chain. Pei Ji then stepped inside. A servant in armor followed Pei Ji, pressing his sword in one hand and entering the cell.
Pei Ji was two or three steps away from the prisoner, then stopped, looked at it, and finally said, "If you want to get out of here alive, you only need to answer two questions from me. If it is not bad, not only can you heal your injuries and let you get out of prison, but you will also be rewarded with gold and silver to make you and your family worry-free in the rest of your life. I think you will not have family members, don't you think about them?"
The prisoner faced the wall, curled up and lay in the corner, without moving. The prison officer had already stepped forward, kicked, and shouted, "Get up quickly, don't pretend to be dead. The general is asking you, but I won't tell you honestly!"
The prisoner then moved, and the prison officer kicked him again and shouted, "Get up!"
The prisoner finally sat up with difficulty, without saying a word, turned slowly, his head was unkempt and his hair was full of weeds brought from the haystack.
He lowered his head, covered his face with long hair, Pei Ji carried his hands on his back, and asked, "Is Lu Cunxiao really ready to rebel? Where is General Qiu now?"
The prisoner did not look up, without any sound.
The prison officer sterned: "Do you still answer honestly? Do you want to sit on a chair again?"
What he said about "sitting on a chair" naturally refers to the criminal law in prison.
The prisoner finally muttered in a low voice, but he was vague and no one could hear it clearly. Pei Ji frowned and couldn't help but take a step forward, saying in a deep voice: "What did you say?"
The prisoner looked down but saw Pei Ji's steps approaching. Suddenly he raised his head. Under the fire, the face was extremely cold, his eyes were sharp and shining with a cold light.
Pei Ji only took a look and knew that something was wrong.
How could a prisoner who had been tortured and dying have such sharp eyes? Moreover, although this person was broken and covered in blood, there was no scar on his face.
He heard the prisoner shouting softly, and he had already grown up, but there was a strange weapon in his hand. The weapon was like a long sword, but it was obviously not a long sword. It seemed to be a steel bar, the thickness of the little finger, and it was already stabbed into Pei Ji's chest like thunder.
There is no doubt that this sharp weapon is hidden in the haystack.
This person was moving very fast. At the moment of his movement, Pei Ji's face had already sunk and his body had not moved. At almost the same time, the prison officer had already drawn out the knife, his eyes were sharp, and he stared at the prisoner. His movement of drawing the knife was extremely fast, and his speed was no less than that of the prisoner. When the prisoner stabbed Pei Ji in his hand, the prison officer had already cut his sword.
The sharp weapon stabbed Pei Ji. At first glance, the prison officer's big knife seemed to be slashing at the prisoner, but the arc changed and he had already slashed towards Pei Ji in the middle.
Both of them took action, and they were almost lightning-fire, and they cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding. The prisoner stabbed Pei Ji in the chest in front of him, and the prison officer blew his sword on his waist, and Pei Ji had almost no room for dodge.
However, Pei Ji did not seem to have any intention of dodging. When the prisoner's sharp weapon came, he raised his hand and opened his palm, surprisingly facing the strange weapon with his palm.
The prisoner's eyes showed surprise, thinking to himself whether Pei Ji wanted to use his palm to resist the extremely sharp weapon? Or was he a choice that could not be done with his helplessness?
The prison officer was about to slash Pei Ji's waist when he saw that his sword was about to slash Pei Ji's waist, but suddenly he felt a sharp wind coming from the side. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that the entourage who followed Pei Ji into the prison was bullied like lightning. The speed was so fast that it was really horrifying. Moreover, the entourage did not draw his sword, but his right hand was in the shape of a knife and chopped down at the entourage's shoulder.
The minion was originally a few steps away from Pei Ji. In the eyes of the two assassins, even if the minion reacted, at the speed of their attack, the minion had no time to react. However, the fact is now on the contrary, the minion not only reacted with an unimaginable reaction force of ordinary people, but also came forward at a speed that ordinary people could unimaginable. Before the prison officer's big sword hit Pei Ji's waist, the palm knife was already heavily cut on the prison officer's shoulder.
The prison officer found that when the entourage attacked, he had no time to react. He cut his palm knife on his shoulder and made a "click" sound. The shoulder bone was cut in an instant. The whole arm trembled, and a numb and weak instantly. Then a heart-wrenching pain spread from the shoulder to the entire arm, and the big knife in his hand was already out of hand.
The prisoner had no intention of going to Gu Guanguan at this time. The sharp weapon in his hand was like a poisonous snake, and the sharp edge had already pierced Pei Ji's palm. He knew that the sharpness of this weapon was, not to mention the palm of the flesh and blood, even a hard wall could easily pierce through it.
However, when the sharp edge stabbed Pei Ji's palm, the prisoner was shocked to find that the sharp weapon in his hand was difficult to move forward at all, just like he was stabbed on a hard copper wall.
How could he know that Pei Ji was a 36-house family from Taiping Zhengyuan. Not only that, he was also one of the five core families.
The Five Elements Taoism passed down from General Zhang Jiao of Heaven was passed down by these five families. Pei Ji's Pei family was the holder of the Thick Earth Technique, and Pei Ji was the only successor in the Pei family who inherited the Thick Earth Technique.
The Five Elements Taoist Techniques each have their own mystery. Compared with the sharp gold technique, the dead wood technique, the cold water technique and the fire technique, the thick earth technique has the weakest attack power. However, in terms of defense, the other four elements are completely incomparable to the thick earth technique. Among them, the dead wood technique also focuses on defense, but is still slightly inferior to the thick earth technique.
Pei Ji looked cold, his five fingers closed and grabbed the sharp edge in his hand. The prisoner knew that something was wrong and wanted to pull it out, the sharp weapon was as if it was tightly held. It was really difficult for the prisoner to pull out the slightest.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang, but it came from the cell next to it. I saw a figure flashing in the cell next to it, but someone had already split the two wooden railings in the middle, and two figures rushed over from the gap.
The prisoner let out a cold voice: "Kill them!"
Outside the prison gate, two Pei Ji's entourages had already rushed in, drew their swords and went up. In the aisle, there were footsteps, and several figures were rushing towards them with weapons in hand, but they were the three prisoners who had been in the interrogation room. They were walking as fast as flying, with a cold expression. Look at the body movement, it was definitely not something ordinary prisoners could possess.
