Chapter 80 Xu Chong is sent to prison

"Master Qianhu, Xu Chong requests to see you."

On the fifth floor of the north building, Xu Chong bowed outside the main hall.

"Um?"

Ge Wanshan had a depressed look on his face, but when he heard Xu Chong's voice, his expression finally improved a little, "Come in."

Xu Chong stepped in.

"What's the matter? Did you encounter any problems in your cultivation?"

Ge Wanshan lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"Your Excellency, my subordinate's Wind-Breaking Hand has already increased its power by 30%."

Xu Chong said calmly.

--puff!

Ge Wanshan spat out a mouthful of tea, looked at Xu Chong in shock, and said in a lost voice: "So fast?!"

"Well, it took several months of hard work to finally achieve something. Not fast... huh?"

Xu Chong scratched his head.

He had thought of showing off his Wind-Breaking Hand a little more before he went into seclusion, with the aim of increasing Ge Wanshan's patience and confidence.

But it's only 10% more, why are you so surprised?

"That's not fast enough... According to this calculation, you can go to the capital to meet the commander-in-chief next year."

Ge Wanshan complained gloomily, then became happy again, "This is the first good news I have heard in the past few months."

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, sir. I've found that it's harder to improve the Wind-Breaking Hand as I progress. I'm afraid it will take more than one or two years to reach that level."

Xu Chong said ashamedly.

Lower your psychological expectations first, then the surprise will be bigger and he will get more convenience.

"Don't even mention one or two years, I can wait five or ten years."

Ge Wanshan looked excited and waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this. Do you have anything else to ask me?"

"I originally wanted to go to the armory to exchange for the Tongmai Gongfa, but on the way here I heard my colleagues talking about Jiang Zhihong..."

Xu Chong clasped his fists and said righteously: "Your Excellency has been very kind to me. I am willing to help you solve your problems. I beg you to give it a try."

"oh?"

Ge Wanshan raised his eyebrows and nodded immediately: "It's good that you have this intention. You are indeed the only one in the entire Qianhu Division who has not tried it. However, don't get your hopes up too much."

Having said that, Ge Wanshan sighed and became depressed again.

He has been completely shameless recently. In order to let Jiang Zhihong have a meal, he even tried to throw a tantrum, but it was still useless.

That old fellow is stubborn and hard to deal with.

"Go ahead. He is in the first cell of the first floor of the Black Prison. Anyone with a token can enter."

Ge Wanshan waved his hand .

"yes."

Xu Chong clasped his fists.

The ventilation vent of the Black Prison is on the ground, but the entrance is on the fourth floor of the East Building. It is a metal door embedded in the ground.

It wasn't heavy, and any ordinary captain could lift it. However, Xu Chong tried it and at least he couldn't break it.

After sticking the token on the groove on the door, there was an immediate "clicking" sound as the metal door slowly opened upwards.

There was a bottomless darkness under the door. There was no staircase. There were only two thick chains tied to the inside of the door and hanging down.

"No wonder it's called Black Prison. It looks like the entire structure from the entrance is made of this material."

Xu Chong took a look around the cave entrance and found that it was all made of this shiny black metal.

He was too lazy to use any leverage and just jumped.

The metal door seemed to have sensing abilities. It detected his passing and clicked shut again.

Boom!

Not long after, Xu Chong fell to the lower level with a dull thud.

He landed at a position relatively close to the edge. A straight corridor extended out, with densely packed cells on both sides. On the metal bars separating every two cells, there were eternal lamps hung to provide light.

At first glance, the entire first level of the Black Prison is extremely spacious, probably just as big as the Thousand Households Prison on the ground.

Apart from the materials, this floor is not much different from an ordinary prison. Going down further, it is said that the second floor has no light at all, and the third floor has neither light nor sound.

"Prison A-1..."

Xu Chong took a look and immediately noticed the sign hanging on the first cell on the left.

There is a vent on the top next to it.

So, Jiayi is not the place where the most dangerous prisoners are held, but the place where the most distinguished prisoners are held?

Xu Chong walked closer and looked in the dim light.

A hunchbacked old man with disheveled hair and dirty face leaned against the wall, his head tilted up, his eyes dull and lifeless, and he ignored Xu Chong's arrival.

Be it his attire, demeanor, or temperament, Xu Chong did not sense anything from him that a Left Censor-in-Chief or Tongmai should have.

He looks just like an old beggar.

"Jiang Zhihong, Prime Minister Lou is here to see you."

Xu Chong blurted out without even thinking.

Crash!

There was a sound of dragging chains, and before Xu Chong could see clearly, the old man appeared at the cell door. He grabbed the metal railings with both hands and looked around with bloodshot eyes.

"Where?!"

"Where is Lou Jian?!"

"Let him out!!!"

The hoarse voice roared out, shaking the entire floor with echoes.

Xu Chong narrowed his eyes.

I thought to myself that as expected, the flaw lies with Prime Minister Lou.

Anyone with extreme temperament traits must have obvious mental flaws.

Stubbornness, irritability, impatience, etc., are all like this.

The main reason he came here was to test this.

I didn’t expect that the first sentence I said would work.

However, what Xu Chong didn't know was that at this moment, everyone in the entire Qianhu Division was stunned!

As early as when the machine started to turn, the entire station knew that someone else was sent to the black prison, and they all came out to watch the fun, no matter whose fun it was.

They wanted to know how this new person would deal with the old man.

Even Ge Wanshan was no exception. He stood on the reviewing platform with several centurions and general flags, listening attentively .

However, they never expected that Xu Chong's first sentence would be so explosive!

"Jiang Zhihong, Prime Minister Lou is here to see you"...

???

Can this sentence be said casually?

That’s the appearance of the building!

The most powerful person in the whole Daqing besides the royal family!

Who knows, there might be spies in this place. If the news gets back...

"Damn, this kid!"

Ge Wanshan's mouth twitched and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "You are too brave, aren't you?"

“It is indeed big.”

The centurions were all gasping for air, "Call him back quickly, it doesn't matter if he dies, but don't let him get us into trouble."

"No, he can't die either."

Ge Wanshan glanced at the side and pointed at Kou Ruohai, "Go down quickly and bring him back."

"Yes, but..."

Kou Ruohai clasped his fists, but did not move immediately, "I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Hmm? Tell me now."

Ge Wanshan frowned.

"Xu Chong's words really offended Prime Minister Lou."

Kou Ruohai said quietly, "But just now, it seemed like that was the first time Jiang Zhihong spoke?"

"Well……"

Ge Wanshan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It seems to be true."

"I think that since Xu Chong can force Jiang Zhihong to speak with just one sentence, maybe he can really make Jiang Zhihong eat."

Kou Ruohai looked serious and spoke calmly, "It's just a lie. Prime Minister Lou is so magnanimous that he can even tolerate Jiang Zhihong who comes every day. How could he not tolerate Xu Chong? I suggest that you give Xu Chong a try."

"That makes sense."

Ge Wanshan nodded thoughtfully, "Then let him be... But you have to keep an eye on him at all times and don't let him go too far."

"I understand."

Kou Ruohai bowed.

And so, this scene in the black prison continued.

"It's okay for you to lie to me. I'm just a prisoner, but you pretended to be an adulterer. Aren't you afraid of death?"

After a moment of excitement, Jiang Zhihong calmed down and just looked at Xu Chong calmly across the metal railing.

“It’s called a white lie.”

Xu Chong shrugged, looking nonchalant.

It was just a remark of "the fox borrowing the power of the tiger to bully others", and it was not a curse that named anyone. Even if it reached the ears of that Prime Minister Lou, most likely nothing would happen.

On the contrary, the enemy who was able to deceive Lou Xiang might even make Lou Xiang smile.

What's more, he had already guessed the essence of the matter.

"As expected of a traitor, he is still so audacious."

Jiang Zhihong sneered and sat back down in the corner.

The whole person's condition became half-dead again.

Xu Chong looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly looked up and shouted to the vent: "Brothers outside, send some food down, the more abundant the better."

Ge Wanshan, who was eavesdropping, was immediately delighted and waved his hand, "Hurry up and do it!"

A quarter of an hour later, Kou Ruohai jumped down from the entrance of the Black Prison dragging a huge wooden pallet with one hand and landed steadily on the ground.

There were more than twenty dishes on the tray, a combination of meat and vegetables, with bright colors, making people salivate at the sight.

There were even two jugs of wine.

Kou Ruohai approached with a tray in his hand, placed it next to Xu Chong, and whispered, "You are really good. You got it done right away."

"Done?"

Xu Chong said loudly, "You are talking about Old Man Jiang, how can I handle him?"

"Uh... what are you doing?"

Kou Ruohai was stunned and pointed at a tray of food.

"Of course I eat it myself."

Xu Chong sat down directly and picked up the chopsticks without any hesitation: "It just so happens that we haven't had lunch yet, Mr. Kou, don't stand, let's eat together."

“…”

Kou Ruohai was stunned for a moment and glanced at Jiang Zhihong in the prison.

He already understood what Xu Chong wanted to do. He had to admit, he was really bold, even bolder than himself.

During this period of time, including Ge Wanshan, everyone was trying to find ways to beg and persuade.

There's no way. Everyone knows this old man's background and no one dares to offend him.

He was the only one who had the courage to secretly give the medicine once... Although it was confirmed to have no effect, he was sure that he did it covertly enough and was not discovered by Jiang Zhihong.

But where is Xu Chong now?

Damn it.

Not only did he deceive me with words, but he also tried to seduce me by eating and drinking in front of me... He is much bolder than me!

Kou Ruohai's mind was full of thoughts, and finally he gritted his teeth and really sat down.

The only pair of chopsticks had already been taken by Xu Chong, but he didn't mind and started eating with his hands.

Not only that, Kou Ruohai also smacked his lips deliberately to make sure Jiang Zhihong could hear it.

"This Kou Ruohai is really capable!"

Xu Chong looked at Kou Ruohai with admiration, and then... he slowed down.

One smacking sound is enough, two are completely redundant.

Moreover, it is really disgraceful.

"???"

Kou Ruohai came to his senses while eating, and immediately had a lot of question marks in his mind.

But Xu Chong didn't even look at him, making it clear that he had given the task to him.

Kou Ruohai wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only continue smacking his lips, but judging from the amplitude of his movements, there was a hint of gnashing of teeth in his movements.

On the ground, nearly a thousand people were listening to the smacking sound.

Gulp gulp…

From time to time, the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard.

"Damn it, this Kou Ruohai... is such a disgrace to society."

Ge Wanshan cursed with a dark face, then swallowed his saliva.

He really wanted to go back to his room to eat, but he was afraid of missing out on what was happening in the Black Prison.

Fortunately, this didn't torment him for too long.

Jiang Zhihong's voice came out again.

"Oh, you ignorant boy, suppressing desires is easier than eating and drinking for those who have reached the state of Tongmai."

"Uh... yeah, how could I have forgotten about this?"

Ge Wanshan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and left in frustration.

He was very sure that there would be no follow-up results.
