Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 231: midnight
In three days, nearly 400 prisoners who were escorted to Beijing from various places were sent to the Wucheng Bingmasi prison. A large prison was crowded to the brim. Except for the one with no desires, the other prisons were people next to each other, and they even slept standing up when they were sleeping. The workload suddenly increased so much, and Scar rolled his eyes when he was tired of waiting for the jailer.
By the fourth night, the prison was completely full. After that, the prisoners who were escorted into Beijing could only be sent to other prisons. After these prisoners were settled, the jailers finally felt a little lighter. It's just that there are too many prisoners now. In order to avoid accidents, all prison guards must live in large prisons from now on. When will these special prisoners go home to rest after the autumn finals?
However, in order to appease these death row prisoners, the Ministry of Punishment specially allocated silver taels to improve their meals as usual. Although it is not big fish and meat, you can still eat steamed bread with white flour every day, and you can get a live pig in two days.
Every day, officials from the Ministry of Punishment come to inspect, and the prison guards in the prison do not dare to exploit. At the moment, I eat steamed buns with white noodles and boiled cabbage with pork every day. These death row prisoners thought about it, except for a few people who were crying, the rest threw their cheeks away and started to eat and drink.
These days, Prince Yi's mansion knew that the prison was going on a red business, and the old housekeeper didn't show up either. It's just that the commander sent one hundred and eighty taels of silver, saying that it was for the prison guards and gentlemen to drink tea.
At the moment, these jailers are drenched in the hopeless light, and they are also eating a lot of meat every day. Except for Robben, who had a ghost and couldn't eat it, the rest of the prison guards were full of oil. Taking advantage of the gap between eating and drinking, you can still brag and talk nonsense.
"Today is bad, I heard that even the prison of the Ministry of Justice is full. Even the prison of the nine-door admiral's yamen has begun to be crowded. In previous years, there were only one or two hundred people in total. Why are so many people killed this year?"
"You don't know yet? Lord Yongzheng made a decree when he was suppressing bandits at the end of last year. If he encounters a stubborn bandit who refuses to surrender, he will always be asked to be executed. The White Lotus Sect originally thought that the law did not blame the public, and the emperor would issue a decree to pardon the bandits. Who knew that our emperor did not believe in evil, and we escorted them directly to Beijing, and they all cracked in one day."
"Have you heard? There are not enough executioners in the capital. Now they are dispatching executioners from Cangzhou, Baoding and other places to Beijing. The Ministry of Punishment has taken out all the ghost-headed swords at the bottom of the box, and just waited for it to pass. Beheading in a few days."
At this time, a little jailer who had just arrived a few days ago put down his chopsticks. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, he immediately said to the old fritters beside him: "Several brothers, how can I hear that when we go out on a business trip, we are at our best. It's been a few days, just work. Why didn't you see the money coming?"
"Boy, no one has hacked your money. It's not time yet..." Scar glanced at the little jailer and continued: "The families of these death row prisoners will arrive in the capital in a few days. Come to see the last time, can't you give two tea money? There are hundreds of people, how can they be divided into three or five thousand taels. Half of the old rules will be taken by the adults of the Ministry of Punishment, and the remaining half will be taken by the adults of the Prison Division. After that A quarter of it is our brothers...
In addition to this, the last meal of these death row inmates is five taels of silver per person. When people arrive at that time, the iron-clad people lose their appetite, and put two tables there, and whoever wants to eat can take two bites. The last two tables of dishes can be raised by a table and a half. The rest of the money is half for us, and half for the Prisoner. There are a lot of people this year, and our brothers can be divided into one hundred and eighty taels per person. "
Hearing this, the newly opened jailer's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to continue to ask a few more questions, there was a sudden chaotic sound outside the prison. Then someone shouted loudly: "Where's the head of the cell? The Ministry of Punishment has come to the official document, come out to meet the official document!"
After a few prison officers heard it, they didn't dare to neglect. After wiping their mouths, they tidied up their official uniforms, and then hurriedly greeted them.
When I arrived at the gate, I saw a dozen officers and soldiers surrounded by a man in the uniform of a third-rank military attache. This man can't tell how old he is. Although he looks like he is in his twenties, he doesn't know why, but he seems to be more than this age. But with a shy baby face, it looks more youthful and immature.
The grown-up looks young, but speaks maturely. After seeing these prison bosses coming out, he took an official document from the soldier next to him, and then said to them: "Who are you prison officers here? I, a third-rank guerrilla, came to deliver the official document in person, and he was one of them. Is the fifth-grade prison guard still holding the air?"
Scar Blind-eyed hurriedly explained with a smiling face: "Sir, you don't know anything, our Prison Secretary has gone to Wucheng Bingma Division to discuss the prisoner's Autumn Judgment. It's almost time to come back, or else Why don't you wait in the yamen? We will greet you as soon as we come back..."
"There is no time! I have to go to the prison of the nine-door admiral in a while." After frowning, the guerrilla continued: "In this way, you can take the official documents for you two prison officers. The roster of the prisoners in the Autumn Judgment was brought out, and I was ordered by Lord Shang Shu to come and check the roster..."
In the past few days, there have been too many officials from the Ministry of Justice to check the roster, and Scar didn't think much about it. After taking the official document with both hands, he immediately ordered someone to take out the roster. Then I handed my hands to the guerrilla master...
The young guerrilla, after opening the roster, just carefully read the names of the prisoners on the first page. After that, he read a few pages perfunctorily, and then seemed to have suddenly thought of something. After returning the roster to Scar Bingyan, he left the prison with a dozen of his soldiers.
I originally thought that the Prison Secretary would be back soon, but I didn't expect to see him returning to the prison until late at night. Thinking about it, after coming out of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, he went straight home to rest. I heard that he just married the fourth concubine concubine, and now is the time to mix oil with honey, so I just took this opportunity to go home and make out with my concubine.
There are too many things like this. The other jailers dare not speak out. They can only recognize who made him the biggest official. In a twinkling of an eye, it was almost midnight when a heavy fog suddenly fell on the street. Afterwards, even the yard of the prison was filled with whiteness, and there were no fingers in sight.
Several night guards have never seen such a thick fog. The strangeness under this fog was nothing at all. The guards on duty at night were getting sleepy, yawning one by one, and didn't take the fog seriously. At this moment, the scarred eyes among them suddenly thought of something, and he said to his companions: "Why do I feel that I haven't heard the sound of the watch for a long time? Did I miss it? Did you hear it? Will the gong sound even louder?"
Being so reminded by Scar, the other jailers also reacted. Robben smiled and said, "What's so strange about this, in such a foggy day, I'm even more afraid that the watchmen who play the watch can't tell the difference between east, west, north and west. At this time, I don't know where to go..."
He hadn't finished talking about the lake when he heard a sudden knock on the door outside. The drowsy jailers were suddenly awakened, and then their eyes turned to the gate. Scar's eyes boldly shouted to the outside: "Who? Why did you come to prison for not sleeping in the middle of the night?"
The sound of the knock on the door completely ignored Scar's eyes and continued to knock on and on. In the end, one of the daring jailers trotted to the gate, and then there was a sound of opening and closing the door. After opening the door, the knocking sound stopped immediately.
I originally thought that the jailer would bring in the person who knocked on the door just now, but after waiting for a while, the jailer still didn't come back. The people in the room started shouting the jailer's name, but no matter how they shouted, no one answered.
Just when everyone didn't know what was going on outside the door, there was a sudden knock on the door...
When I couldn't stop thinking about the sound of knocking on the door, suddenly the sound of opening the door sounded again in the thick fog... Then it sounded again in the thick fog. Someone walked into the prison and was walking towards them. sound comes.
