039 Solitary Prisoner
Tang Su straightened his clothes a little and walked into the living room. Everything in this stone house was simple, and the tables and chairs in the room were all carved from stone. At this time, the old man in silk clothes was sitting leisurely on the stone chair with his eyes closed and meditating.
Although he knew that this old man's strength was unfathomable, Tang Su was not afraid of him. After all, he was the patrol envoy, and behind him were the entire Five Elements Sect and the various branches of the Five Elements Sect. If the other party only used strength to oppress him
, he could completely ignore it, but this person was using his identity to suppress him, which made Tang Su, who always thought highly of himself, could only frown. After all, no matter how powerful the Five Elements Sect was, it was impossible to fight against his immediate boss.
The identity of the other party was engraved on the black iron plate he took out, with three words engraved on it: "Xuantiewei".
"Xuantiewei" - a personal army of the emperor, possessing such powerful strength that no one knows its true details.
Anyone holding the iron plate of Xuan Tie Guard has the privilege to override the local army and any law enforcement agency at any time. Even if he is a patrol envoy of Xuanmen, a semi-official law enforcement agency recognized by the imperial court, he will still be under Xuan Tie Guard.
Within the scope of Wei Neng’s command and dispatch.
In fact, if it was really a business matter, that would be fine. The case this person asked him to handle was clearly an unclear private matter!
The old man said that something was stolen in Qingyangxuan Market, but he did not provide any evidence to prove that the thing really belonged to him.
Although the patrol envoys are said to be an organization that manages the Taoist disciples' travels in the world, there is no need for the patrol envoys to be dispatched unless they are Xuan gangsters who cause harm to the people and commit murder and expropriation.
Tang Su had not been in the industry for a long time, he had a high-minded nature, and he was very principled in doing things. It was obvious at a glance that these people were treating him like dogs.
But apart from being upset, there was nothing he could do.
"I have brought the person you want and put him in prison." He walked into the living room, but did not face the old man. Instead, he looked at the endless sea of clouds outside the stone window. "As for things.
, has been kept in the evidence room. One day later, I will notify the people from the Jade Palace Execution Hall to pick them up. I still have to track down the monsters, so I won’t accompany you."
The old man laughed with satisfaction, then clapped his hands twice and said, "Inspector Tang is indeed very efficient in his work, and he truly deserves his reputation. Don't worry, my young master will definitely give you adequate reward for this favor."
"I act according to the rules, and I won't dare to accept anything in return." After Tang Su finished speaking, he turned around and left.
He didn't want to wait any longer.
He was eager to leave, but of course he was not really looking for the monster he was talking about. The Qingxiao Mountains are thousands of miles wide, and these monsters have vast magical powers and come and go without a trace. A dragon can never see its head or tail.
Where to find it? Just go to Qingyang Town to check it out. After leaving this lonely peak, they can do the rest as they please. Out of sight, out of mind.
The old man wanted to use his hand to take back the precious thunder tree species, but he had to let him get his wish.
But he is not a fool - I brought the things, but I will not hand them over to you honestly. Every step I take, Tang Su, follows the rules: the criminal is caught; the things are registered and stored in the certificate.
The evidence room was opened, but no one knows whether anyone opened the evidence room without authorization and took the evidence privately.
That's a matter for those subordinates and those old guys from the Five Elements Sect.
He drove the wooden crane alone and left Guao Peak. This kind of thing usually involves a little oil and water. If these old oilmen are not left on the peak, they will not be satisfied.
"Haha, isn't it just a half-burnt seed?" As soon as Tang Su stepped forward, a short fat man who was one of the patrolmen flashed out from the door of the cave.
This short fat man's name is Zeng Fan, an outer disciple of the Five Elements Sect's Five Virtues. He is much older than Tang Su, but unfortunately his qualifications are too poor and he has a naughty nature. He has reached the middle stage of the fifth level of foundation building.
It got stuck, and I haven't made any progress since then. But with the job of the patrol department, I can refine a few more Pure Yang Pills on the Guao Peak, accept some bribes occasionally, and live a life where I can't make a lot of money and I can't starve to death.
He was quite satisfied.
Looking at Tang Su's retreating back, a look of disdain appeared on his shiny fat face.
In Zeng Fan's eyes, there are no people in the world who are not greedy, but some people are straightforward and simple like him, while some people pretend to be deeper - just like the young Tang Su.
Fatty Zeng put that
He took out the thunder black wood from his sleeve and threw it on the stone table. He did not know the identity of the old man's black iron guard, nor could he feel the opponent's strength.
But he was more concerned. If the old man had money, he would give it to him. He never put this seed in the evidence room, but kept it in his sleeve.
In his opinion, whether the market price of this seed is worth three thousand Pure Yang Pills is a question. But the other party is willing to give him ten thousand at a time!
It would be a fool not to do such a good thing.
As for whether there are any evidence in the evidence room, no one will check it for tens of thousands of years.
"Where are the criminals?" The old man played with a kit in his hand, and the sound of Xuanyin Pills rubbing against each other came from inside. "Our young master wants to see the criminals."
"Haha," Fatty Zeng smiled happily, "That's easy to say."
Song Ruhai, Gouzhu and others were all dragged into a stone room. The cells here were relatively regular and separated for men and women. Wu Xia and Fei Niu were taken away by the female patrol officer.
Song Ruhai, Gouzhu and Mu Mu were locked in the same room. The three of them were hung up, with their toes on the ground and their heels in the air. It was extremely uncomfortable to be hung like this. The immortal shackles on their hands were not untied.
The iron chain held behind him is now hung on the iron hook on the top of the stone.
"What the hell is this? It's worse than being in solitary confinement." Gou Zhu couldn't help but cursed in a low voice. During the first-year disciple training in the Jade Palace, he had also been in solitary confinement. It was actually nothing.
He was locked up in a room, where he could eat, drink and sleep. How could he be hung up like this?
"You are a prisoner now, okay." Song Ruhai had to remind this junior brother. As soon as he came in, he expected to wait safely until the people from the Jade Palace Execution Hall came to take them back. He had never felt that his sect was so interested in him.
It's important. He doesn't want to let them get trapped here. "Be patient, don't make them angry, or they will be beaten..."
He has never failed to commit a robbery for many years, so he has never been in jail. However, he has many brothers who are often in and out of jails, so he has a lot of knowledge about jail. He will no longer make unnecessary complaints.
"What would have happened if they hadn't come to pick us up?" After a moment of silence, Mu Mu said, "Will we...die here?"
In fact, Gouzhu had this worry for a long time, and Song Ruhai also had it. They were just worried in their hearts, and felt that speaking out would have no other use besides scaring people. But Mu Mu was slower to react, and he just remembered it.
"That's not the case." Song Ruhai comforted him and said, "Xuanmen Zhengzong is not a gangster after all. Besides, we have sent a message asking for help to the outer court. If we still don't reply, the outer court might send someone to look for it."
Gouzhu is not optimistic about the outer courtyard, and he can get a glimpse of it from the cold words "Return soon". He is more optimistic about himself. Now that he has his own worries, he also has his own plans.
Can the immortal shackles lock him?
At that time, Chen Xuanfang, the true disciple, acted viciously and cautiously, but he was still unable to lock him down.
While there was no one watching in the cell, he had quietly opened the lock on the Immortal Shackles. Of course he used the bundle of copper wire on his wrist, the magical lock-picking tool that he had never left for many years.
This thing requires patience and trying slowly. It takes a long time to open any lock. Fortunately, the most indispensable thing in this cell is time.
But he did not put himself down, he was still hanging on the shackles. Although the lock of the immortal shackles was opened, it was still fastened. He had no intention of escaping.
If you can go back to the Jade Palace after staying up for a day, why bother running away?
The terrain on the top of the mountain is unfamiliar, and you may not even be able to find the way down the mountain, and the monk can escape but cannot escape from the temple. What is the difference between him escaping back to Jade Palace by himself, and waiting for the people from the execution hall of Jade Palace to come and take him back?
The reason Gouzhu opened the lock was just to leave himself a last resort.
Not long after Gouzhu opened the lock, a sound of footsteps came from outside.
The short and fat patrolman brought another strong man over and twisted a mechanism outside the door. The chain on top of the hook fell down and was caught by the strong man.
"What are you going to do?" Gou Zhu felt vaguely ominous.
"You didn't expect that someone would take special care of you, a deer-headed rat! Haha!" The short, fat old man laughed ferociously: "Greetings
Hi, kid, you can stay in a single room!"
Fortunately, the lock has a special structure. Even if the lock is opened, the two sides are still buckled together like a hook. You have to push in the other direction to open the shackles. So the two of them led Gouzhu to a separate prison room.
Inside the room, he didn't realize that Gouzhu had quietly opened the lock.
This cell is much smaller than the one shared by three people. It can even be said that it is not like a room, but just a slightly larger cave.
This place is made of hard and smooth granite up and down, no one knows how thick it is. There are no windows, except for the entrance with a heavy black iron door, and there is only a fist-sized cave on the outside of the mountain. The wind is pouring in from outside.
, whirring loudly.
He was still hanging as before, and a ray of sunlight came in from here and just shone on his face.
As soon as he entered the windowless cell, his eyes were completely dark. It wasn't until his eyes slowly adapted to the darkness that he saw clearly that there were several stone benches in front of him. An old man and a young man were already waiting there.
The young man was wearing a colorful brocade robe, and he was the same young man he had seen in Xuan Market. When the young man saw the hanging hook pig, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
The old man was guarding him behind him. What the old man was most worried about was the peerless master he couldn't see lurking around these Jade Palace disciples. His Black Iron Guard Token could call all the surrounding local armies and Xuanmen patrol envoys. He came here
