Chapter 544 Death Row (Part 2)
The jailer looked up in panic, and saw a face of unparalleled beauty, and was stunned.
Perhaps because the pair of black eyes were too compelling, he didn't even think of asking the other party's identity, and instinctively said: "No, I don't know..."
Ye Chutang let go of his hand and went straight towards the jailer.
"Have you ever met the Prince of Dingbei?"
The jailer had already been frightened by the chaotic scene. When he heard the sound, he turned around subconsciously and saw that it was a young girl. He felt dizzy.
Who is this?
What the hell is going on! ?
"He, he...I don't know either!"
The jailer was complaining bitterly.
He was on duty today, and suddenly there was a fire. The adults ordered them to make sure to get the prisoners out safely, otherwise they would be held accountable.
He was just unlucky to have run into such a mess, otherwise who would be willing to risk their life to make a fuss here? !
Ye Chutang's eyes turned cold: "You don't know?"
There is only one way in from the south gate. Shen Yanchuan had come in before, so how could he not know anything about it?
At this moment, a stuttering voice came from the side:
"Well, I seemed to have seen the prince before, but he walked very fast. I only caught a glimpse of his shadow from afar, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye..."
Ye Chutang turned around and saw that the person who spoke was an elderly prison guard.
"Where did he go?"
The jailer hesitated and pointed in the opposite direction.
"It should be over there!"
Ye Chutang turned around.
When she came in just now, she heard the noise over here and came over here.
In fact, it was a T-junction. Besides this side, there was another road going in the completely opposite direction.
But unlike the chaos here, there was silence and emptiness over there.
Even the candlelight on the wall was much dimmer and shabby than here, and it was obvious that it was not well maintained on a daily basis.
So when she looked deeper, she could see nothing but darkness.
"That, that's where the death row prisoners are held. The adults said, we should focus on this side first..."
The jailer's voice became smaller and smaller, and it was obvious that he was feeling guilty.
In fact, the order they received was even more straightforward than this - the death row prisoners were going to die anyway, so it would be meaningless to spend a lot of manpower and resources to rescue them! Everyone, concentrate your efforts and try to bring out the other prisoners!
In other words, that place... had been abandoned in the first place!
The moment Ye Chutang heard his words, he understood. Many thoughts flashed through his mind and he made a decision quickly.
She let go of the jailer, turned around and walked up to the jailer who was speaking.
The jailer saw that although she was young, she had an extraordinary aura, and he became nervous: "Why are you looking for him--"
laugh!
Ye Chutang drew the sword from his waist.
"Lend it to me, thank you."
After saying that, she turned and walked in the opposite direction.
The jailer was stunned, and the others who saw this scene were also bewildered.
This, this——
The jailer subconsciously looked at the head of the prison: "She actually went over there!? Should we stop her?"
The jailer looked at the slender and straight figure, and felt that the trembling and fear that suddenly surged in his heart when he looked into her eyes just now had not yet dissipated.
This is definitely someone not to be trifled with!
"Who cares about her?" The jailer suppressed his fear and spat fiercely on the ground.
They can’t even handle these troublesome prisoners right now, let alone the others?
If she wants to die, let her do it!
"Hurry up and report to the Lord! There is chaos in here!"
…
Unlike over there, this side is obviously much quieter.
The further Ye Chutang walked in, the thicker the cold atmosphere became.
The strong smell of blood hit me in the face, almost suffocating me.
Perhaps because all the prisoners here were on death row, there were obviously fewer prisoners. Ye Chutang walked for a long distance and the cells on both sides were empty.
She glanced around and found that even the cells holding prisoners here were more solid than those over there. The doors were hung with heavy chains, making them difficult to open.
Once many people here come in, they will never have the chance to go out and see the light of day again. Naturally, no one will take good care of them, and the detention conditions are extremely difficult.
It was small, damp and extremely dirty.
Ye Chutang's expression remained unchanged as he continued to move forward.
Those Nanhu swordsmen had special identities, so it was obvious that they were kept under strict custody after they came in, and ordinary jailers could not get close to them at all.
Especially, Chen Yanchuan had mentioned before that those people were locked up secretly afterwards, and the number of people who knew about it was probably even smaller.
That's why Shen Yanchuan came to find him in person!
Ye Chutang gripped the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand, stepped lightly on the ground, and continued to move forward.
Chen Yanchuan, where are you?
…
Time passes slowly.
Chen Yanchuan was familiar with the route and arrived deep inside the prison.
There was no way forward. A thick stone wall stood in front of me, with only a candle burning that could go out at any time.
The faint light could only barely illuminate the small circle below.
It was stained with dark brown old blood and had even turned a little black.
There are also some scattered scarlet spots next to it, which must have been applied recently.
Shen Yanchuan's gaze swept over it, and there was no ripple in his eyes.
Then he took a step forward and raised his hand to touch the stone wall.
The fingers with slender knuckles slowly reached over it, as if looking for something.
If Fan Chengzhuo and others were here, they would definitely be shocked that Chen Yanchuan was so familiar with the Ministry of Justice prison!
Not only did he get here without any obstacles, but he also knew the mechanism here!
Click——!
Chen Yanchuan touched a very subtle bulge somewhere on the wall. He pressed it lightly and heard a faint sound. The wall in front of him slowly opened!
A neat crack appeared in the middle, and the stone wall turned into two doors, pushing to both sides.
An unpleasant smell came from it.
Different from the bloody smell outside, this disgusting and extremely repulsive smell... is the stench of a corpse!
Shen Yanchuan's eyes turned cold.
It’s here!
He took a step and was about to move forward when he suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air behind him!
laugh--!
The cold wind, carrying with it a terrifying murderous intent, rushed straight towards him!
