Chapter 16: Night visit to the prison (this chapter is free)

The silver he saved since he left the palace, plus the 2,200 taels of two centennial ginseng, Fang Ling finally collected three thousand taels of snowflake silver, and all this was just to meet the female assassin.

After handing over three thousand taels of silver to Dong Canghai, he took care of the various levels of the Tianzhu, when it was late at night and night, Fang Ling and Dong Canghai finally went to Dongshan, where the Tianzhu was located.

The Heavenly Prison means the prison of the emperor, which is to order the prison of the emperor to be detained in the name of the emperor, including many royal relatives and ministers, and the strict guards are not inferior to the inner palace.

The guards of the inner palace usually draw elite soldiers and generals from the Imperial Guards. Once there is any disturbance, they can get support from the garrison of the outer palace, but the sky is firm and firm, not only the guards.

Dongshan is one of the five mountains of the imperial palace, and the entrance of Tianlao is at its feet. Tianlao dug up the Dongshan mountain, down hundreds of meters inside, and built around it with huge rocks several meters thick, poured into slurry and solidified. It can be called a copper wall and iron wall.

This place is like an iron bucket, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the place is small, so it is harder to get into the sky than climbing the sky, let alone even if you want to go out after coming in.

The guards are elite soldiers and generals drawn by the Ministry of Justice. The only key that can be opened here is a lot of money.

Under the moonlight, the entrance to the Tianzhu at the foot of the East Mountain was like a monster with a bloody mouth, making people feel suffocating. A building was built along the mountain side of the entrance. Although there was no one to see, Fang Ling obviously felt countless pairs of eyes staring at him.

Fang Ling then realized that no wonder he needed three thousand taels of silver to handle it. With so many pairs of eyes open, even if one is 5 taels, it would cost hundreds of taels, not to mention that there are nine levels in this prison.

The person who led the way for Fang Ling and the others was a middle-aged man named Ma Chaoge. This man was the deputy general in charge of the power of the Tianlao. Although he was only a deputy general, because he was versatile and had various connections, he could enjoy himself and drink with him, so he naturally had many confidants.

Only with such an Internet can we avoid the main general and bring people in. Dong Canghai naturally did not reveal Fang Ling's identity, and Ma Chaoge naturally did not ask how many secrets there are hidden in and outside the palace. Asking less is a good thing.

Under the leadership of Ma Chaoge, the two walked down the Tianzhu layer by layer along the passage.

The nine-story prison, the more you walk downward, the more important the prisoners you are detained, and the guards are naturally strict. Each floor has guard posts on the necessary road, monitoring every move inside.

The sight in the prison was very dim, with only a few torches inserted on the rotating stairs. The light was as bright as it was, and the yin energy came from the ground, making it look gloomy and terrifying. From time to time, the sound of ghosts crying and howling.

Even though Fang Ling thought he was brave, he was sometimes shocked by the sound.

I don’t know how long I walked, but the rotating stairs finally came to an end. There was only an arc-shaped passage in front of me, and this was the ninth floor.

The cold air underground is like an ice cellar. Compared with the sound of ghost crying in the previous layers, the gloomy place is without any sound, which makes it even more terrifying.

Ma Chaoge couldn't help but tremble and smiled bitterly: "Brother Canghai, if it weren't for your 3,000 taels of silver, I wouldn't want to come to this floor even if I beat you to death. You can go and see it yourself. In the ninth cell, I'll wait for you here, but time must be quick." After that, he handed over the key.

Dong Canghai nodded and walked in with Fang Ling.

Every cell on this floor is different. Some cells are full of water, some are covered with thorns, and countless corpses are inside. Everything looks gloomy and terrifying, like a hell of a forest.

Dong Canghai said while walking: "There is a rule in this prison that the corpse cannot be left. Anyone who dies in the prison will only be cleared into the mass grave every five years. So if you move in for a period of five years, you will live with a lot of corpses."

"That's so scary." Fang Ling said.

Dong Canghai said: "Of course, otherwise how could those people behave well?"

As he spoke, he had already arrived at the ninth cell. Suddenly, a strange smell of cold and hot came. Fang Ling looked inside and saw a pool of water inside. The water was white and exuded an extremely cold smell. Before he could walk in, he felt a biting chill.

But the stones on the four walls of the cell were as hot as flames, making people feel extremely cold and hot. In the innermost part of the cell, a woman sat cross-legged.

The woman was wearing a white long skirt, but the skirt was stained with a large pool of dried blood, which looked shocking. Two long chains hanging firmly on the wall were wrapped around her.

Half of her body was in the water, her lowered head was covered by her long hanging hair, and she couldn't see her face clearly, let alone how old she was.

"Your Highness, let me go in. Under this pool is the mother of Ice harvested from the Tianshan Mountains. It is biting cold every year. The stones on the stone wall are fire rocks harvested from Mount Altai. They are hot and hot all year round. Even those who practice martial arts may not be able to bear it." Dong Canghai said.

"No need, I'll go by myself." Fang Ling said, and instructed Dong Canghai to open the door of the cell.

Dong Canghai also knew Fang Ling's personality and knew that it would be difficult to change once he made a decision. Although he was worried, he had to do it honestly.

Fang Ling stepped into the pool water and felt like a cold, but the sun fire in his body suddenly surged up, offsetting the cold part. Even so, he knew that his teeth were shaking a little.

At the same time, the heat on my head came from top to bottom, as if it was suddenly from an iceberg to a volcano, which was really uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Dong Canghai said worriedly.

"It's okay." Fang Ling shook his head and took a deep breath. No matter how bad the situation was, he walked forward step by step. Every time he took a step, the water in the pool moved, and the corpses in the pool came automatically.

These corpses have rotted into corpses, and the miserable white sharks on the bones are scary.

Fang Ling pushed away the floating corpse and walked step by step to the end of the cell. Dong Canghai looked nervously, and if there was any accident, he would rush over to save the person.

As he got closer, Fang Ling couldn't help but sigh. No matter who he was, being locked up here was indeed torture. He calmed down and asked, "Are you still alive?"

The woman still lowered her head, as if she was not even angry, let alone raised her head to respond.

Dong Canghai sighed, "Your Highness, she has never eaten or drunk for a year. Even ordinary people can't stand it."

Fang Ling did not respond, but took out the dagger and placed it in front of her.

As soon as the dagger came out, it seemed to be stimulated by the surrounding temperature and emitted inch light. The woman's hanging head gradually raised.
