"Come on, come on! Paste two more layers of red bricks here, it looks festive."
"Here, I'm going to hang a mink wall hanging. Please keep me warm."
"Remember, the door curtain should be symmetrical from left to right for good luck."
"My desk is placed in a corner. Be careful not to damage my golden vine. It is imported from the Western Regions and is worth a thousand dollars!"
"The curtain is closed tightly, Zheng needs some privacy."
"It's important to remember that your head should be facing south and your feet should be facing north."
"The matter is done, go to Zheng's Bank to collect the reward, one hundred taels. Huh? I said one hundred taels per person, a total of one hundred taels is nothing. You are all well-known craftsmen in the city! If others find out, you will still be rewarded. I thought I, Mr. Zheng, couldn’t afford the money.”
Today, several skilled craftsmen in the city took on a huge job.
When they were politely invited to the Wangtiantai Prison, which is said to only hold serious criminals, by the evil-looking warden Lao Liu, their three legs were weak.
But when the craftsmen learned that their trip was just to improve the comfort of the prison environment, they were all so shocked that they couldn't close their legs.
When they learned that the "guest" in this cell was Mr. Zheng, the richest man in the imperial city, they all suddenly understood.
When Mr. Zheng roughly understood the causes and consequences of the butterfly effect, the first thing he did was to ask Scarolao Liu for help to improve the living environment as soon as possible.
It took half a day.
A small bedroom that can accommodate one person was set up in the prison, and there was also a small open-air balcony.
Scar Lao Liu knew that this was against the rules, but who was he now?
Warden Wangtiantai, if you don’t tell, I won’t tell, he won’t tell, who knows?
Besides, he is the warden, the boss here. If he says it is within the rules, then it is within the rules. Who dares to question it?
He would not dare to release a death row prisoner privately. However, using the excuse of "being in disrepair" and repairing the prison a little, Scar Laoliu didn't even have to report it and decided on his own.
The small house in the prison only took half a day to complete.
…
Looking at the rooftop.
One of the four "heavenly prisons".
These four special prisons are specially designed to hold felons.
Top priority.
Repeat offenders locked up there are either sentenced to death or life in prison, with very few exceptions.
For example, Mr. Zheng who was "suspected of killing Princess Yurun".
These four special prisons are Wangtiantai, Dengtian Pavilion, Pantian Tower and Weeping Sky Pavilion.
It sounds very festive, but in fact it is not the same thing.
The prison that Zheng Xiu stayed in before was only an "underground prison", which was far less harsh than the sky prison.
Take the rooftop viewing platform as an example.
There are nine floors in the rooftop terrace.
The first nine floors are "prisons" and the tenth floor is called "jail".
The nine-foot-tall sky-watching platform, generally speaking, is about thirty meters tall and has nine floors.
Each floor has no windows and is airtight. Only the top floor, open-air single room, is spacious and transparent.
There are ninety-nine cells on each floor from the first to the ninth floors. It sounds like a lot, but in fact, each cell is only three feet long and wide.
Inside, the prisoners could barely curl up or stand. Moreover, the air in the prison is polluted, the winter is extremely cold, and the summer solstice is extremely hot. It is still bearable to stay there for three days a day. If you stay for ten days and a half, the feeling is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Above the ninth floor is the top floor where Mr. Zheng is currently located. The six doors are called "Wangtian Prison". Don't look at the difference between "prison" and "prison", but there is a huge difference in reality.
Wangtian Prison, to put it bluntly, is just a big iron cage.
Although the space is spacious, felons in Wangtian Prison have to endure wind, sun, rain, snow, and even worse, storms, lightning, and hail. The pain they endure is beyond what a human being can endure. Because Wangtian Prison is too cruel, the top floor is always empty on weekdays, and key prisoners are not placed there.
Reason: too cruel.
"ah……"
Master Zheng is currently reclining on the Grand Master's chair, with the aroma of tea overflowing from the table and sandalwood curling up beside him.
On the makeshift wall behind there is the "Prison Cell Inscription" written by Zheng Xiu not long ago. Scar Lao Liu did not receive any orders, so he took the initiative to move the "Master Zheng's Calligraphy" here, adding a bit of scholarly elegance to Wangtian Prison.
Looking at the fluffy snow flying all over the sky, Zheng Xiu burst out poetically and sighed:
“The snow is like flowers at winter solstice, and the flowers are like snow at summer solstice.”
It doesn't seem to rhyme.
It doesn't matter, I'll spend some money later to have it altered and framed.
Today, Wangtian Prison, which is extremely terrifying in the eyes of the world, has been temporarily transformed into the shape of a small villa by Mr. Zheng, with its own rooftop.
The first small goal is completed.
As for the second goal.
Zheng Xiu closed his eyes and entered the prison of his heart.
On the game table, there are two little people, one big and one small, one tall and one short, like puppets, motionless.
No new ghosts have been updated on the map yet.
Zheng Xiu opened his eyes. For now, he was not in a hurry about Guixi's exploration.
The butterfly effect caused by clearing "White Carp Village" has not yet been clarified.
However, Mr. Zheng already had some clues.
He snooped around from Scarao Liu and found out a piece of crucial information.
That is, when Lao Wei came to see him that day, he was wearing soft clothing and stepped into the prison camp alone.
The words Scar Laoliu used to describe Lao Wei at that time were: majestic, majestic, majestic.
It is not easy to make an illiterate person squeeze out this word.
At that time, Mr. Zheng repeatedly said like fishing for law enforcement, there are no outsiders here, you can speak freely, don't hide it, don't exaggerate, Sixth Brother, don't deal with those bureaucracies and so on.
But Scar Laoliu denied it and said he didn't dare to exaggerate. He also said that the emperor looked extremely powerful at that time, which made Scar Laoliu's eyes shine.
This time Zheng Xiu believed.
One of the differences that Zheng Xiu cares most about due to the butterfly effect has emerged: Old Wei is now a powerful and powerful man, and is no longer the old emperor whose life is hanging by a thread.
Since Old Wei was not seriously ill, the second prince had no reason to jump out. Furthermore, Shi Wentong was not sent by the second prince to warn him. But since Shi Wentong died, it meant that the person behind Shi Wentong had changed.
Or perhaps Shi Wentong's death was simply due to a sudden collapse and a sudden death.
If it's the former, who is trying to cause trouble?
Going further, even the reason why he was imprisoned in the first place has to be considered.
Master Zheng changed his cup of tea, rubbed his brows, and fell into deep thought.
Moreover, in addition to Duan Cai, Gou Fugui, and Zhang Wushuang, many people died.
The most outrageous thing is that Wei's most beloved daughter, Princess Yurun, died, and there was a bloody writing in her boudoir: The murderer, Marquis Zhonglie.
It's impossible for no one to see such an obvious frame-up.
But even with such an obvious frame-up, he was still upgraded to a cell and moved to the rooftop.
who is it? What's the intention?
There are countless puzzles coming one after another.
Since Old Wei was not seriously ill, there would be no such questions from the emperor. So why did Old Wei come to the prison camp that day?
Asked if Zheng Xiu killed Princess Yurun?
No, based on Zheng Xiu's understanding of Lao Wei, if he had any suspicion, he didn't need any evidence or questioning, he could just kill him.
In other words, Lao Wei simply did not believe that Princess Yurun was killed by himself, so he imprisoned Zheng Xiu in Wangtian Prison. It was possible that he was under the pressure of public opinion to temporarily silence the public.
It's chaos, it's all chaos.
Zheng Xiu looked up at the snow, sipping tea and meditating for two hours.
The snow stopped, the tea cooled, and it was getting dusk.
What’s the next step?
The changes brought about by the butterfly effect made Zheng Xiu a little distracted. From time to time, he picked at the knot on his forehead and touched the silent bird on his chest. When the dim light in the sky completely sank behind the mountain, Zheng Xiu decided to go out for a walk. See for yourself the changes in the imperial city after the butterfly effect occurred.
All the things that happened in the ghost world were strange and dangerous, but in the end, the behavior of the bird in the prison after it was possessed gave Mr. Zheng a little more confidence.
I have extraordinary powers, in heaven and on earth, where can I, Zheng, go?
At worst, he could go home and build a dungeon, install a Trojan horse, decorate it with a few sets of shackles, call him a girl, add to the atmosphere of the prison, wait for ghosts to come to his door, practice to become invincible, and then be free in the world.
Making up his mind, Zheng Xiu closed his eyes and activated [Fugue].
In the heart prison, the young man with delicate features and a lotus seal on his forehead opened his eyes with a smile.
A faint shadow floated out from behind Zheng Xiu and solidified in the blink of an eye.
"Yeah--Yeah---"
The black crows scattered and circling in the sky seemed to be disturbed, and they all avoided the rooftop.
[Evil Boy], attack!
Zheng Xiu raised his head and looked at the crows in the sky, secretly wondering why the crows were so noisy and floating outward.
Boom! Click——
The handsome young man slammed into the fence, and the hundred-refined steel instantly sank into a human shape.
Mr. Zheng was trapped in the curved steel fence in a herringbone shape, with a look of astonishment on his face.
