The Tiger's Den is the most difficult prison to escape from. It is a type of underground prison. It is a place where important criminals are imprisoned. There is only a narrow passage leading from the underground to the surface.
This passage is heavily guarded. If someone escapes from prison, the prison leader will activate the mechanism Tianhuo Liuli. The name is very nice. It is actually a simple dumping device filled with flammable sesame oil. As long as the fire is ignited, everything will be over. Even those in Tianbang cannot escape the fate of being surrounded by fire.
??This means that you can escape up, but basically you can't escape down below. The guards used iron chains to transport people and food to an underground prison that resembled an abyss, and dragon locks were used to restrain the detainees in the prison. The materials used in the Panlong Lock are basically absolute stones, which are the best materials for isolating spiritual power.
To open the Panlong Lock, you must have the keys of three people. Two keys are in the hands of the clerks in the morning shift and the evening shift. They are responsible for helping to open one hand during meals every day so that the prisoners can eat. In addition, the key to the main part is in the hands of the emperor. Of course, the key to the main part is now in the hands of the empress dowager.

Yesterday¡¯s enthronement ceremony, Bai Ya was indeed a little tired. After staying up all night, she slept all morning before waking up. When she got up, she asked Xiao Qing, who was serving her: "Did Jiang Qichen do anything?"
"We have sent people to inquire. Jiang Qichen has bought a house."
Bai Ya was very satisfied: "You did a good job, you know how to guess what I want. But having said that, Jiang Qichen still has some money now, and he can buy a house at will."
"I heard that when I was in Luoyang, I saved some money to marry a wife."
After Xiaoqing finished speaking, she glanced at Bai Ya. Bai Ya was also a little distracted, remembering the past with Jiang Qichen. Jiang Qichen came back again and again, seemingly just for the money of more than ten taels to marry a wife. However, Bai Ya quickly corrected her attitude. This was not what she should have been thinking about. Now, she guessed what Jiang Qichen was thinking. Jiang Qichen wanted to save people.
"Jiang Qichen will not just buy a house."
"Maybe he doesn't have the ability to think too hard. With his wealth, buying a house in Chang'an and marrying a wife can be regarded as fulfilling his dream."
Hearing what Xiao Qing said, Bai Ya glared at Xiao Qing dissatisfied: "Don't excuse him. I told you that he was the evil person who killed your whole family, not the kind person you imagined."
"I see."
"Go and investigate whether Jiang Qichen hired any craftsmen, especially those famous craftsmen recorded by the Ministry of Industry."
"yes."
Xiaoqing agreed and walked out, and Bai Ya said again: "Call Zhou Kexin."
¡¡
Just as Bai Ya thought, Jiang Qichen didn't just buy a house casually. After he bought the house, he immediately dismissed the servants in the house, then hired famous craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, and also hired chefs to cook for the craftsmen. It is said that Jiang Qichen also hired hundreds of workers to increase the progress of the project.
While these things were in full swing, Zhou Kexin came to Jiang Qichen's home. She ordered someone to bring a gift, which turned out to be a fine coffin.
Jiang Qichen looked at the coffin, gave Zhou Kexin a cup of tea in a leisurely manner, and asked with a smile: "What does this mean?"
"It depends on your performance. If you comply with the Queen Mother's wishes, this is called promotion and wealth. If you offend the Queen Mother, then this coffin will be the house where you will live after your death."
"What does the Queen Mother want me to do?"
"Be a noble man in Chang'an, marry a wife and have children to fulfill your dream. The Empress Dowager also said that with your talent and reading more books, you may have a place among the candidates in tomorrow's imperial examination. When the time comes, assist the Emperor. Queen Mother, it is a beautiful thing that has been passed down through the ages.¡±
Jiang Qichen smiled: "I'd better choose the latter."
"Do you think the Empress Dowager dare not kill you? We are all friends, and Mingren will not tell secrets. With the Empress Dowager in her current state, she can do anything."
Zhou Kexin threatened, but Jiang Qichen didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Go back and tell her that if I die, her ability may be gone. Not only can she not kill me, but she also has to protect me."
"I'm not going to be your husband and wife's mouthpiece, you can speak for yourself."
"Then do me a favor and tell Bai Ya that our fate is over, and we will occupy our own place from now on."
Zhou Kexin smiled after hearing this, and then said: "We are obviously in love, but why did I smell the farewell?"
"Just pass the message for me."
"If you ask me to help, I will help. Why? If you offend me, be careful I will kill you with a knife."
"You dare?"
¡°You¡¯re obviously a piece of trash, yet you¡¯re still talking so shamelessly.¡±
"You know better than anyone else that the seven-star transportation array is not completed. You are forcing me, who knows what will happen?"
Zhou Kexin frowned: "You are so powerful. You are obviously a waste, but still no one dares to challenge you. What a pity. I will tell Bai Ya about this, and Bai Ya will expose you."
"Okay, since you want to leave, I won't send it away."
"Who said I was leaving."
"It's time for you to go."
"Is this trying to push people away? I didn't do anything, I just acted as a messenger. I'm not willing to accept it."
"You don't have to do anything, I promise you that I will help you rescue Fei."
After hearing this, Zhou Kexin curled her lips and said as if she didn't care: "I don't care about Sun Fei's life or death. I am a scholar now, the second most talented woman after Bai Ya. I don't need to rely on Sun Fei, I can live like a Shine like a star.¡±
"I hope"
"Humph, I won't talk to you anymore. It's boring to talk to someone like you."
"Don't you have something else to do?"
"I won't do it anymore. I'm upset. I'm leaving. You can keep the coffin."
"Go back and tell Bai Ya that I will fill the quilt in there at night and sleep in it tonight."
¡¡
Zhou Kexin forwarded Jiang Qichen's words to Bai Ya. Bai Ya frowned, thought for a while, and asked Zhou Kexin: "You didn't come up with any bad ideas."
"No, I heard his promise to rescue Fei, and I was moved."
"Don't have such thoughts in the future. You, like me, are women in this world who cannot be looked down upon by men. You don't need Fei to do great things."
"It's easy to say, but it has to be done step by step and slowly. My father's theory of caring for husbands and raising children has been instilled in me too much since I was a child, and I can't change it all at once."
"So, you can't deal with Jiang Qichen."
"Yes, I admit that I can't deal with Jiang Qichen. With him, I feel like he has seen through all my ideas."
Bai Ya thought for a while: "Since you don't have any bad ideas, let's follow the official statement. There are laws on house construction, which require a land deed. But the buildings referred to by the land deed are above ground and underground. It¡¯s not allowed.¡±
Zhou Kexin¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Should we ask the Ministry of Industry to investigate?¡±
"Check, if you find out that he is working secretly, arrest him." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
