Chapter 749 This Secret Trick
Xiao Lanyuan watched as a man was thrown into the cell opposite.
A man with ragged clothes, disheveled hair and a dirty face.
The man was thin and his steps were very unsteady when he was pushed in. He fell to the ground after taking only two steps. He crawled a few steps to the pile of grass and then lay there motionless.
"Who is that?" Xiao Lanyuan asked the jailer.
After the jailer pushed the man in, he immediately locked the door, stepped back several steps, and turned to leave.
When they heard Xiao Lanyuan's question, they looked at each other, and then answered perfunctorily according to the prison boss's instructions.
"He is a man who has committed a capital crime."
After replying this, they wanted to leave quickly, but Xiao Lanyuan stopped them again.
"What crime?"
The jailer responded perfunctorily, "We don't really know about that."
"When a prisoner is sent to jail, aren't their circumstances explained? Are you still taking someone who is unclear?"
"Our leader should know, but he hasn't told us yet."
"Yeah?"
It was obvious that Xiao Lanyuan didn't believe it.
The jailer was actually a little panicked.
Although the emperor wants to deal with Prince Jun, he can't really kill him so directly. He has to blunt the knife little by little.
Even if he is sent to jail this time, they said he will only be in jail for two months, and Prince Jun should be able to get out after two months.
The emperor himself might be fine, but if these little people really piss off Prince Jun, Prince Jun can kill them all with one hand.
At that time, it would be impossible for the emperor to lend a helping hand to a few unknown people like them.
The lives of these people are not lives at all.
So even though their superiors had told them to do everything they could to torture Prince Jun in prison, they did not completely obey their orders and tortured Prince Jun to death.
Thinking of this, the two jailers turned around with an apologetic smile and said something ambiguous to Prince Jun.
"Your Highness, actually this prisoner was just brought here temporarily. As you know, we are insignificant and cannot ask too many questions."
What this means is that they really don’t know what crime this person has committed or who he is.
By the way, he secretly told Prince Jun that this person came very suddenly and was sent in by someone else.
As for whether Prince Jun can be alert or think of anything, that is his business. Anyway, they did remind him.
"Alright, I understand."
Xiao Lanyuan nodded and did not embarrass them any further.
Seeing Prince Jun like this, the two jailers walked away for a while, then felt a little sorry for him.
"Wang Er, what do you think is wrong with this guy? If we lock him up in the cell opposite Prince Jun, will anything really happen to Prince Jun?"
"How would I know? We are all small people, not even as good as ants. What can we do? We just follow orders. Come on, come on, the boss has told us to burn the cloth and clothes after we send the people over. Then we can go wash them."
"Tsk, it's so serious, is this person some kind of dirty thing?"
"Even though I'm just a nobody, I still have to save my life, right? Since the boss said so, we shouldn't be careless, or else if something really happens, we won't have time to cry."
The two of them quickly went to deal with the cloth and clothes that were wrapped around their hands.
The prison boss had just had people clean out the place where the prisoner had been and even burned some firewood on the ground for a while.
When he heard that they had finished packing and were coming over, he gave each of them a bowl of medicine.
"One bowl per person, drink up."
"Boss, what is this?" I smelled a disgusting odor.
"The medicine is good for you, drink it quickly."
Those who have been working in the prison for a long time actually care about it very much. For example, the prison boss once got a prescription. He picked the herbs in the prescription and decocted the medicine. Drinking a bowl of it every once in a while can remove dampness and cold toxins from the body.
Every time he drank it, he would feel lighter.
Now he is contributing this medicinal soup because these jailers have been following him and are usually very obedient. If they were replaced by new ones, they might be difficult to lead, so he takes more care of them.
Who knows what disease the prisoner has contracted? Anyway, if you have been exposed to it, it is always a good idea to drink a bowl of soup first as a precaution.
The two jailers could only hold their noses and force the bowl of medicine into his mouth.
I almost vomited.
"Go out and fan yourself at night." The jailer lowered his voice again.
"Still fanning?"
"It's going to snow heavily tonight, and the weather will be even colder. My hands are almost frozen right now. If there's wind coming into the cell again, it could be fatal."
"We'll blow that room tonight and get the scent of the prisoner to Prince Jun."
This would increase the chances of Prince Jun contracting the disease from that person.
The jailer sighed.
In the middle of the night, they all wrapped themselves up like dumplings, and went to the back of the cell to fan themselves.
They had dug a crack in the wall on this side in advance, and it would have to be repaired in the future, but isn't it for the purpose of dealing with King Jun now?
The cracks are like spider webs and are not very obvious at first glance.
But on a snowy winter night like this, such cracks can make it much colder inside.
Then they poured water on the wall, and the whole wall was wet, and it was emitting even colder air. At this time, they kept fanning the air inside, and picked up some snow to fan it inside. In the cell, it felt like the wind was like a small drill, hissing into the bones.
The charcoal stove and windproof gauze curtains were gone in Prince Jun's cell, and it was so cold that it seemed like someone would freeze to death.
The two jailers were busy outside, trembling with fear, and they felt somewhat resentful towards the emperor.
This emperor is such a coward. To deal with someone, he has to use such shady and petty methods.
It's simply not presentable.
Prince Jun had not recovered from his illness before and was so thin, but the emperor did not kill him. Now he dares to use such means to disgust people. It really makes people look down on him.
But they had no choice.
The prisoner lying on the haystack moved his hands.
He always felt that this wall was extremely damp, and it felt chilly when he got closer to it.
Now there was a slight breeze coming in from the wall from time to time, but in the dim candlelight it didn't look like there were any holes in the wall, and there were no cracks.
But it was really cold, wet and cold.
He moved his body with difficulty, pushed the haystack to another corner, and lay down in another corner.
But no matter where you are, it's so cold that it makes you want to die.
Xiao Lanyuan was lying on the bed, and with his profound inner strength, he could even hear the sound of the other person's teeth chattering from the cold.
Moreover, a faint smell came over.
Very smelly.
It was a smell like rotting meat that had been buried in a pile of rotten leaves for a long time, and it seemed to be coming from that side.
