In the entire territory of Dahua, apart from the imperial yamen, only the Prince's Mansion was authorized by the imperial power to build private prisons. The princes are all the most direct bloodline of the royal family, and they are all likely to become the future masters of this country. Mei Yuanchen stayed in Prince Jia's Mansion for a long time, but there were a few places he had never been to, one of which was this cell.
There are usually not many people in the palace, so the private cells in the palace are generally not very large. There are only twenty cells in Prince Jaw's Mansion. Not only are they built solidly, but they are also neat and tidy like a home. They are many times better than the official prisons. At this time, there was only one inmate in the whole cell, the man in ragged clothes whom Mei Yuanchen found in the east of the city eight days ago.
The cell steward was a muscular middle-aged man with a beard. He saw Xia Chengxuan and Mei Yuanchen approaching from a distance. He had already taken the keys and walked to the cell door to wait.
"Open the door!" Xia Chengxuan stopped in front of the cell door and ordered. The bearded steward received the order and hurriedly inserted the key to open the lock. He closed the door and stepped aside, saying: "Your Majesty, Young Master, the cell door is low, please be careful!"
Before being thrown into prison, the soldiers had already cleaned the man in ragged clothes and put him into clean robes. At this time, he was facing the wall and muttering something softly. Mei Yuanchen concentrated on listening, but she still couldn't hear it clearly.
"Chengxuan, I may have to stay here for a long time. You can go about your own business. There is no need to accompany you here!" Mei Yuanchen said to Xia Chengxuan, tilting his head. The man in front of him was in a state of confusion, and it would be difficult to ask for any important information for a while. He had secretly made up his mind to stay here and observe carefully before making any plans.
Xia Chengxuan had been here for interrogation several times before, but he really couldn't do anything with the man. He expected that Mei Yuanchen might not be able to achieve any results in a short time. Seeing the solemn expression on his face, he smiled and said to him: "Okay, then I will go back first. If you have anything to do, just ask them to do it! This matter is by no means easy, you must not You're too anxious. Yiyi and I are waiting for you to come together for lunch, but don't ask me to send someone to call you!"
Mei Yuanchen naturally knew his good intentions, nodded and replied with a forced smile: "Yes, I understand! Just go ahead!" Xia Chengxuan nodded and went out. Seeing that he had gone away, Mei Yuanchen sat down on the ground next to the man and hugged his knees, listening to him quietly.
"Do it, do it, do it, hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee were they
"I have a bottle of wine, but I don't know whether it is clear or turbid. Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh, la-la-huh-huh."
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, an hour, two hours. The man sat there blankly, muttering all the time, and never even glanced at Mei Yuanchen.
There was a rustling sound outside, but it was Xia Chengxuan's servant Alai who came over, bowed and said to Mei Yuanchen: "Master Yuanchen, lunch is ready, the prince sent me to call you. "
Unknowingly, Mei Yuanchen spent the entire morning listening to the mad man babbling and singing nonsense in this cell. However, all he had said back and forth this morning was those few sentences, and no more half a word was left. How could he get any clues? Mei Yuanchen had no choice but to get up and walk out since it was already meal time.
The government soldier standing by was guarding outside the cell door with an iron bowl, which seemed to be lunch for the mad man. Seeing Mei Yuanchen walk out of the cell door, he brought the iron rice bowl to the crazy man and said to him: "Hey, it's time to eat!"
Although the mad man was unconscious, he was not ignorant of his meals. Seeing the food brought by the soldiers, I hurriedly reached out to take the bowl from him and started eating.
"Hey, let's go. I'm so impatient that I thought I could hear some tricks this morning!" Seeing that there was nothing he could do for the time being, Mei Yuanchen couldn't help but laugh at himself. I looked at the man again and saw that he was just immersed in eating, so I quickly walked out.
"Hehe! Brother Baili, look what is this? This is your favorite braised pork kidney! Haha, are you hungry? Do you want to come over and eat some?" Mei Yuanchen has walked out of five or six My husband, I suddenly heard the crazy man say happily. This was the first time Mei Yuanchen heard him speak so clearly since Boluo Temple. She couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and hurriedly took "Twenty-Three Dou Zhuan Slant Steps" and rushed towards the cell.
The soldier who delivered the meal was about to close and lock the cell door when he felt a shadow suddenly float over and land in the cell, forming the shape of Mei Yuanchen. He was shocked and shocked for a moment. The mad man was picking up the rice in the bowl when he realized that there seemed to be someone else in front of him. He looked up and saw that it was Mei Yuanchen. He suddenly laughed and said excitedly: "Brother Baili, are you really here? Haha! This is great! Come on, come on! Sit down quickly, I still have a bowl of rice here. Are you hungry? If you don't mind, how about eating with me?" I saw him Looking at himself, his eyes were extremely hot, full of joy and expectation.
Mei Yuanchen was stunned, nodded slowly, and replied: "Okay." But he was thinking to himself: "This crazy guy seems to have a close relationship with his uncle, and he is willing to give half of a bowl of rice. "
"My lord, my lord, please! Please give me some food, please? Look, look, my brother Baili has been hungry for a few days, and it seems that he is going to die. Please do a good job. , please give us some food, okay? We are students of Wuying Academy, please do a good job!" The crazy man suddenly fell on the ground crying and shouting.
Hearing his random words, Mei Yuanchen couldn't help but feel sad, feeling in her heart that her uncle was probably no longer alive. "What happened? How could my uncle suddenly disappear and not be found anywhere? Now it seems that it has a lot to do with this crazy man. From what he said, my uncle seemed to have been locked up by the government and he was very hungry. God!" Mei Yuanchen thought about it, then turned to the Fu Bing and said, "Go and get another meal." The Fu Bing said "Yes" and hurried down to prepare.
"Alai, go and tell the prince and the princess that I will have dinner here and ask them not to wait for me." Alai had already walked outside the prison, but when he saw that Mei Yuanchen did not follow, he had to hurry He turned back and was waiting outside the prison door. Mei Yuanchen couldn't leave for a while, so he told him.
A Laiyu promised with all his heart, and turned his back to save his life. As soon as he left, the soldiers brought a bowl of food and gave it to Mei Yuanchen.
"You go down first, I don't need you to serve me here anymore." Mei Yuanchen reached out and took the bowl and chopsticks and said to the soldiers.
Mei Yuanchen held the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and was about to sit down opposite the crazy man, but then he heard him ramble randomly:
"Do it, do it, do it, hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee were they
"I have a bottle of wine, but I don't know whether it is clear or turbid. Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh, la-la-huh-huh."
"Alas!" Mei Yuanchen was startled, sighed helplessly, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and walked out quickly.
