Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

C106 The Imperial Prison



C106 The Imperial Prison

Sighing, Xiao Yun began to patiently read books here for two days.    

    

To be honest, some books could be read, but some books could not.    

    

The knowledge system was like this.    

    

One. One direction is to gradually deepen the knowledge, and the other direction is to correct the mistakes of the predecessors.    

    

The difference in a few civilization alterations, in Xiao Yun's eyes, a lot of knowledge was already a complete mistake.    

    

However, there were some things that had not changed since ancient times, such as the human heart, and philosophy.    

    

It could never be studied thoroughly. It would always linger between "getting close to reality and deviating from reality."    

    

There were also some books about the legends of the monsters, just like the Mountain and Sea Scripture.    

    

These seemingly idle books were actually beneficial to Xiao Yun.    

    

This was because from this aspect, one could see the worldview of the people in this world!    

    

The best were gods, the evilest were ghosts. Looking at their definition of gods and ghosts, as well as their actions, one could know where the focal point of the people's thoughts was, and how different they were from Xiao Yun.    

    

To Xiao Yun, it was extremely important!    

    

Three days later, the eunuch personally came over.    

    

When he saw Xiao Yun not only put the books back to where they were, but also carefully list them out, his expression immediately became a little more relaxed.    

    

"What wind blew you here? Is it His Majesty who finally wants to let me go back?"    

    

Xiao Yun smiled.    

    

The eunuch sighed and said, "A few days ago, the Imperial Court awarded me for my contributions and many scholars came back from the north. It can be considered a double happiness. Do you know what happened in the Imperial Court?"    

    

Xiao Yun spread his hands and said, "I have always been here. How can I know? Don't tell me you don't intend to let me go? Don't tell me you want to lock me up here for the rest of my life?"    

    

The eunuch shook his head and said," That won't happen. "    

    

"That's good."    

    

"But now I have to transfer you to the Imperial Prison. "    

    

"Ah?!"    

    

Xiao Yun was stunned.    

    

He really did not expect such a reversal!    

    

"You want to lock me up in the Imperial Prison? This is... Are you trying to silence me?!"    

    

At this moment, Xiao Yun was also a little panicky.    

    

The eunuch smiled bitterly and said, "That's not the case. In the Imperial Court, you and Imperial Tutor Zhao were irreconcilable enemies. He did not even hesitate to go against His Majesty. He was using his career to save his face. The officials in the Imperial Court also agreed. However, when the sons of the officials from the north came back, many of them were descendants of officials. They were all indebted to you, so they pleaded for you. Plus, Imperial Tutor Zhao didn't wait for his precious grandson to come, so he didn't think too much about you. However, the death penalty can be exempted from the crime of living. You have to stay in the Imperial Prison for a few days. Wait until Imperial Tutor Zhao's anger is gone, or when his injuries are healed. You can come out again. "    

    

"So that's the case..."    

    

Xiao Yun sighed, then turned to look at Shangguan Qing'er and asked, "Go there. Can I bring Qing'er with me?"    

    

"Saint Xiao must be joking."    

    

"Uh... ___ said. The environment of that prison should be pretty good, right? At least there should be a single room or something, right?"    

    

"Saint Xiao really likes to joke around."    

    

"Tsk!"    

    

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and could only accept his fate.    

    

The eunuch looked around and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Can locusts really be eaten? Can the antidote really be made?"    

    

"Did His Majesty ask you to ask?"    

    

"No, this old servant really wants to know!"    

    

Xiao Yun curled his lips and said, "A person who is about to be locked up in the Imperial Prison, you still expect him to help the country and the people? Don't you find it funny? You said that I like to joke, but you also like to joke! "    

    

" No. " The eunuch shook his head and said, "This old servant thinks that you will help the country and the people."    

    

"Why?"    

    

"I don't know, this old servant doesn't know why I have such a thought, but I feel that Saint Xiao can do this. Perhaps this is the origin of Saint Grade. "    

    

"Tsk."    

    

Xiao Yun twitched his mouth and said, "You think too highly of me."    

    

...    

    

The Imperial Prison was definitely not a good place.    

    

The so-called Imperial Prison was just what the people called it.    

    

The word 'Heaven' was a serious offense, and only those who committed heinous crimes would be locked up inside.    

    

If it was a murderer, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter even if he killed less than ten people.    

    

Officials and the like would only come in when they were at least Rank-3.    

    

After being brought in, they did not hear all kinds of wailing and cursing.    

    

Actually, in a serious prison, there were very few people who kept shouting and cursing at the windows.    

    

Those with a bit of brain knew that this kind of scolding was useless. The prison guards who watched over them did not have the ability to solve their case, but the prison guards had the right to beat them up!    

    

If it was an especially powerful person, there was no need to shout and scold. They clearly knew that their case required outsiders to work hard and they did not need to do anything. And the people outside would also take care of the prison guards. His life in the prison would be good.    

    

As for those who did not know anything, they directly shouted. The prison guards rushed in and beat them up until they could not live or die, so they did not shout.    

    

If they kept shouting and cursing, then they would be beaten to death. Then they would say to the higher-ups that they could not stand the bitter cold in the prison and died of illness. No one would be able to find fault with it.    

    

Therefore, a true expert didn't need to do anything. He needed to do something and shout. This proved that he wasn't that powerful. Since he wasn't that powerful, shouting was useless. Instead, it was easy to shout himself to death.    

    

Therefore, in the Imperial Prison, other than the screams of the victims, no one cried for help.    

    

No need, or they would be dead.    

    

However, the smell inside was really as unpleasant as imagined.    

    

And the smell often represented whether the environment was healthy or not.    

    

He sighed and said to the guards next to him: "You are here all year round, aren't you afraid of getting sick?"    

    

The guard knew that this lord was not someone to be trifled with.    

    

This was a true expert!    

    

The eunuch personally delivered it.    

    

When he left, he moved aside and carefully followed behind.    

    

Apart from His Majesty, the number of people who could make the eunuch pay attention to the way he walked could be counted on one hand in all the civil and military affairs of the court!    

    

It was really puzzling that such a young man had such a status.    

    

Thus, the prison guards naturally inquired about the news regarding Xiao Yun, as well as the reason why he was sent to the Imperial Prison.    

    

Then, he easily found out that he was the only son of the Xiao family. The spring hunting had rescued more than two hundred scions of influential families, and then they beat up Imperial Tutor Zhao. Imperial Tutor Zhao still had one arm left, and then he was locked up in the Imperial Palace by His Majesty. After being locked up for more than half a month, he was finally transferred to the Imperial Prison. The eunuch personally sent him off. He heard that the eunuch even went to talk to the warden for a long time.    

    

These news almost scared the prison guards to death!    

    

This lord is the real lord. If I do something wrong, I might turn around and die without knowing how!    

    

Now that he was walking in the Heavenly Prison passageway, facing Xiao Yun's casual question, the jailer also had a frightened expression. He hurriedly and carefully replied, "This is just work. It's our duty, but we can't bear the injuries. It is much better than when we were at the border back then. "    

    

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment and asked: "You have been to the border?"    

    

The prison guard said, "Young Master Xiao, we, the soldiers of the Heavenly Prison, are all from the border. We need to endure for many years before we can get through this idle job."    

    

"It's also a fat job, right?"    

    

"Hehe, Young Master Xiao is wise and wise!"    

    

"However, although it appears to be a fat job on the surface, it is a kind of hard work that requires painstaking effort. The key is that the environment is too poor. Have you ever seen a prisoner who has been locked up here for more than ten years without getting sick? Have you seen a prison guard in his forties whose legs do not hurt? "    

    

" This... "    

    

The prison guard was stunned for a moment and immediately cried out in alarm. That's right! It is also strange that some of our colleagues have never been injured before. They don't have to walk too much here, so why are they all in their forties or fifties? Some of them have problems with their legs, and some of them can't even walk now! Even if they are slightly better, it was raining in the dark. The pain was unbearable. They wished they could chop off their legs. Sigh... "    

    

Xiao Yun sighed and said," So, this fat servant hurts people. You have to sunbathe more every day. You also need to drink hot water on a daily basis. You have to pay attention to keeping your joints warm. You have to massage your legs, especially your knees. By doing this, he could at least delay the onset of the illness. If he was lucky, you can avoid the onset of the illness. "    

    

"Then... can it be cured?!"    

    

The guard couldn't help but ask.    

    

Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "It's hard to cure a god."    

    

The guard opened his mouth, but he still didn't ask the question. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Young Master Xiao."    

    

"It's nothing. It's not easy to do any work. It's difficult to live in this world. If everyone can have less suffering, will this world become more splendid? Hehe, who knows?"    

    

The guard was stunned for a moment. He felt respect in his heart.    

    

He couldn't help but think of Xiao Yun's other name.    

    

Saint Xiao!
