Bao Zheng, Dong Xianxian, and Sun Ling'er got off the official sedan and immediately walked towards the door of that prison. Before the three of them got close, they saw a man who looked like an officer in heavy armor shouting: "The prison is a big place, and there are people waiting around. Please don't get close! Otherwise, shoot and kill!" As soon as the officer shouted, many guards at the door immediately drew their bows and arrows, and saw It seemed that as long as the officer gave the order, he would be shot into a hornet's nest.
Bao Zheng stopped immediately. He didn't expect Tianlao's defense to be so rigorous! Bao Zheng said from afar: "Bao Zheng, who is in Xialuzhou, has Lord Kou Zhun's token in his hand, and intends to go to Tianlao to visit the prisoner Dong Hao!" Bao Zheng said as he took out the token given by Kou Zhun from his arms. Token. []
The officer looked at the token from a distance and immediately replied: "Since it is Lord Kou's token, you can come over here!"
Bao Zheng and the others got the officer¡¯s permission and walked over. After the officer looked at the token carefully, he immediately returned it with a cold expression and said impatiently: "After you go in, you have to come out quickly, otherwise it will be difficult for us to do it!"
Since Bao Zheng got together with Zhang Yuxi, he gradually learned a lot about the official rules of the Song Dynasty. Bao Zheng immediately took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the officer. He said with a smile: "This is Bao Zheng's invitation to all brothers." Tea drinkers, we won¡¯t be delayed too long after we get in!¡±
The officer took the money with a flattering smile, his attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and he immediately called a prison soldier to lead Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng couldn't help but secretly lament the corruption of the officialdom. Although Bao Zheng wanted to be an upright official, but now he was weak and powerful, he had to succumb to this decadent world style. It was because of seeing the ugly side of these officials that Bao Zheng strengthened his determination to clean up the government and the opposition. Bao Zheng, Dong Xianxian and Sun Ling'er followed the prison guard and walked into the sky prison. The sky prison was winding and winding, and the prisoners in countless cells were tortured to the point of being injured. Along the way, Bao Zheng heard the painful groans of the prisoners who were being tortured, and saw that the prisoners were bloody and tortured, and he couldn't bear to watch anymore.
The soldier leading the way saw the expressions of Bao Zheng and Dong Xianxian, and immediately smiled and said: "It seems that this is the first time for these people to come to Tianlao! You see how miserable these people are now, and you feel pity for them. But you don't We know how majestic these people were before they were imprisoned, and some of them were even more vicious. I don¡¯t know how many people were oppressed by these people and even died miserably. The suffering they suffer now is just the retribution they deserve."
After hearing this, Dong Xianxian was a little dissatisfied and said: "Not everyone among these people is a bad person. There must be many good people who have been wronged."
Bao Zheng knew that Dong Xianxian was worried about her father, so he made such remarks. He immediately grabbed Dong Xianxian and told her not to say anything. Then he clasped his fists and said, "This little brother, in fact, in this prison, the prisoners who are being punished and the bad guys should be It accounts for ** out of ten. What I just said is very reasonable."
After hearing what Bao Zheng said, the soldier immediately beamed, as if he had done a lot of good deeds for the people by torturing the prisoners. The soldier took Bao and Zheng to the door of a cell and said: "The person you want to see is inside, but he is a wanted criminal. Without orders from above, we can't get the key to open the lock. You just stand at this door." Let's see."
After the soldier finished speaking, he shook his head and walked away. Bao Zheng looked at the cell, and saw that the cell door was made of bars, with some thatch randomly spread inside. The cell was pitch black, with a trace of light coming from a tall and small window. Bao Zheng took a long time to adapt. He saw a middle-aged man in prison uniform lying on the thatch inside the cell. Although Bao Zheng couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, he saw him lying there upright and didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Dong Xianxian looked inside the cell and immediately felt something. He couldn't help but burst into tears. He held on to the pillars on the fence with his delicate hands and cried to the people inside: "Dad, please get up and take a look! I am your daughter Xian'er!" My daughter is unfilial and has not come to see you until now" Dong Xianxian couldn't help crying when she said this. The cry was heart-breaking and heart-pounding. Bao Zheng looked at Dong Xianxian and couldn't help but feel sad for the father and daughter.
The middle-aged man who was originally upright in the cell couldn't help but move when he heard Xianxian's cry. It took a lot of effort for the man to turn over, and he was seen lying on the ground, using his hands as a With support, he crawled towards the cell door. The man climbed with great difficulty. Only when he slowly approached the cell door did Bao Zheng see his face. I saw that his face was unshaven. Although he looked very heroic, he was a little sallow and thin. His prison clothes were stained with blood. The prison clothes could not cover his body. In some exposed places, Bao Zheng could see shocking scars. .
Dong Xianxian burst into tears when he saw the man injured like this. Sun Linger was on the side, and when she saw this tragic scene, her eyes immediately turned sour.He held the immortal and shed tears.
When the middle-aged man saw Dong Xianxian, his face lit up, and he said in a hoarse but joyful tone: "I never thought that I, Dong Hao, would be able to see my daughter Xianxian in my lifetime. I, Dong Hao, am really dead. And there are no regrets!" Dong Hao said this, but he had already climbed to the door of the cell. He stretched out his hand covered with dried blood and caressed the face of the immortal. Although his body was weak, his expression was extremely serious. happy.
Dong Xianxian held Dong Hao's hand and cried: "Dad! My daughter is unfilial! I didn't know that you were in jail until recently! I didn't expect that you have been persecuted like this! Daddy, don't worry! I will definitely find a way to rescue you. of!"
Dong Hao looked at Dong Xianxian but squeezed out a smile and said: "Xian'er, I would be satisfied if you could come and visit your father. You were sent to Luzhou by me when you were a child. Now that you have grown up, you won't blame your father for being ruthless, right? !¡±
Dong Xianxian shook his head and said, "Dad, Xian'er is your flesh and blood, so how can I blame you? Daddy must have done this because of your reasons."
At this time, Dong Hao's face condensed as if he was immersed in deep memories, and he said: "Xian'er, you lost your mother from the moment you were born! I sent you to Luzhou again. You have no mother to love you. As a father, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities. But I have this unspeakable reason. Dad has been a sinner in this life, and suffering like this today is also retribution. Xian'er, you just need to live well, and don't be stupid to save me. !¡±
Bao Zheng said respectfully at this time: "Uncle Dong, this is Bao Zheng! I am the son of Bao Lingyi, the former governor of Luzhou, and a friend of the immortals. As long as you tell me the whole story of your arrest, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Bao Zheng will definitely work with Xianxian to save his uncle with all his strength."
