Hail the King

Sixty-eight, shocking discovery

Fei stepped onto the square and took a closer look. Most of the people gathered in the square were dressed in ragged clothes, yellow and thin, and they were all civilians from Xiangbo City. These people gathered here for some reason. When the people arrived, they cheered and all knelt down on the ground.

"Look, His Majesty Alexander is really here..."

"Your Majesty, you must uphold justice for us!"

"We're going to sue the iron prison officials for over-arresting innocent people..."

"Your Majesty Alexander, my son was arrested and imprisoned in the Iron Prison because he offended the son of the previous Herald Bazel, Gejir. Your Majesty, please uphold justice..."

The civilians knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, looking sad.

Fei turned his head to look at Brook, who quickly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't inform these poor people to gather here, nor did I say that you would come to the dungeon this afternoon, it's strange, this...how about I let them immediately leave?"

Fei smiled and shook his head and said: "It's okay, didn't I come here today to rectify the Iron Prison Water Prison? This is just right, and I can better know what happened in the Iron Prison Water Prison. Tables and chairs, let the warden Oleg move out all the files, and I will organize the prison in front of all my subjects."

Brook nodded and left.

Soon, the crowd in the small square was separated by soldiers, and a small umbrella shed was set up. Stone tables and chairs were brought up, and a large number of animal skins and silk cloth were written that the iron prison and water prison had entered ten years of judgment and trial process. They were moved up and piled up next to the umbrella shed like a small mountain. Some animal skins may have been put aside for a long time, and they were even moldy, with small black spots, and a musty smell hit the face.

"Great and noble Your Majesty Alexander, these are all the dossiers of the last ten years. I have had them all moved here, without any omission. Don't dare to neglect in the slightest..." [Sycophant] Oleg stood humbly beside Fei with a flattering smile, and the exquisite white bird feather fan in his hand was very diligently fanning the cool wind for Fei.

Sun Fei nodded slightly.

Oleg immediately seemed to be a fighting chicken that was approved and encouraged by his master, and he happily came outside the umbrella shed, and said loudly: "The great King Alexander came to the iron prison and water prison today to expose and correct what the ambitious Bazel once said about Xiangbo. For the crimes committed by the city, rejoice, justice and light have come to the Iron Prison, who of you has been persecuted and unfairly treated by that damned careerist Bazel, you can safely and boldly report to the great King Alexander , I, Wang Yingming, is righteous, just and innocent, kind and loving the people... I will definitely give a just answer to all innocent people.

"

Oleg used at least a dozen or more gorgeous modifiers to praise Fei, and after spitting, he asked the soldiers to maintain order, carefully separated the canopy from the crowd, and set up a small Then let those civilians go to the umbrella shed one by one to complain about their grievances.

Fei Fei nodded secretly.

Although this Oleg is timid, afraid of death, and greedy for money, and is a first-class sycophant, he also has his own strengths. Compared with an officer like Brooke, he is more careful, and he is very good at handling such situations. , Such a person, if he uses it well, can be regarded as a good assistant.

"Respected His Majesty Alexander, please clear up my grievances..."

An old man dressed in rags was the first to go forward and kneel on the ground. His son used to serve as a servant in the house of the former herald Bazel, but accidentally broke the dead pig Gejir's dog. He was asked for 10 gold coins for a crude dog food wooden basin, and because the old man had no money to pay, his son was imprisoned in an iron prison for more than three months, and his life and death were unknown.

Soon a jailer sent up the file about the old man's son. Fei took a quick look at it and found that the above records were basically consistent with what the old man said. Ten gold coins were distributed among the property of the mansion as compensation. The old man's son had suffered a lot of abuse in the prison, but he was still healthy. The two of them wept bitterly and huddled together, kneeling down to thank Fei for his justice and kindness...

Seeing this scene, the surrounding civilians became excited.

People kept coming to the umbrella shed to complain, most of them were trivial things, but because Bazel and some nobles in the city were involved, the civilians were abused by the power, sent to the Iron Prison, and tortured...

In just half an hour, Fei had released more than 40 people from the iron prison. All the poor people who suffered wronged not only regained their freedom, but also received a certain amount of gold coins as compensation. One gold coin is equivalent to a year for a poor family. The income of the left and right, everyone was grateful to Dade immediately, knelt on the ground and shouted long live the king...

Fei happily passed the addiction of being a judge.

However, as the trial progressed, many people in the crowd came to the square with the mentality of watching the excitement. When they saw such a scene, they couldn't help but stand up and complain about their grievances. Some people were blackmailed by the nobles. The family property became a beggar, some family treasures were robbed by a big businessman, and some young daughters were robbed into a noble mansion and disappeared...

For a while, the crowd in the square was excited, and the scene even got a little out of control.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Fei heard the news that more and more people were coming, and immediately stopped this pretentious public trial with sweat on his forehead, and ordered a special person to record all the accusations. After sorting it out, it will be handed over to the new herald, Best. I believe that this old man will be able to handle it well.

Fei himself swept through all the files on the ground. Basically, it was not a difficult case, and the sentence was easy. After more than two hours, he was imprisoned in the Iron Prison Sixty to seventy percent of the cells in the prison have been released. In fact, in a small remote city like Xiangbo City, the people are simple and honest, and basically there will be no earth-shattering crimes. Most of them are oppressed by nobles and powerful businessmen. Disputes between the poor, or urban residents and neighbors, for Fei who traveled here, as long as he grasped the words 'people's hearts are fair', there was basically no difficulty at all.

After dealing with these matters, all the poor people knelt on the ground excitedly, and in the farewell sound of "Long live the king!" People entered the black stone castle of the Iron Prison Water Prison.

After entering the stone castle, Fei finally realized that the name of this prison is really worthy of the name, because the stone castle that appeared on the square turned out to be only a living place for the guards, and the real prison cells were actually all prisons. Under the ground, a deep tunnel was dug out in this rocky mountain by a living person, leading directly to the ground.

The corridor is about three meters high and two meters wide, and it goes down step by step along the stone steps.

The light soon went dark, and after walking about three or four hundred meters underground, the tunnel finally became gentler, and instead of leading to the ground, it was dug out in parallel. On the stone walls on both sides of the corridor, many stone lattices of different sizes were artificially cut out, and a charcoal brazier was placed on them.

Sun Fei became more and more frightened as he walked.

Because he suddenly discovered that the mountainside of the entire stone mountain seemed to be completely hollowed out. The entire prison did not use a single brick or tile, and the whole was dug out from the inside of the stone mountain, like an underground maze. Similarly, after walking more than 1,000 meters and passing through more than 20 iron gates, the sound of gurgling water came from my ears, and the corridor gradually became wider. The fences are sealed, and these stone houses are covered with nets and stone chairs, which are used to hold prisoners.

However, because Fei gave amnesty to the prisoners, rectified the prison, and released many innocent civilians who were imprisoned, most of the stone houses were empty at this time. There are only a few stone houses where there are still some prisoners who have not been wronged but have committed crimes such as theft and fighting. When they saw Fei and others coming, some of them looked dumb, some rushed to the iron fence and shouted for injustice, and some contemptuously Laughing provocatively...

Going deeper, the corridor becomes wider and wider, almost like a hall.

The sound of gurgling water became more and more obvious.

Finally, after advancing for more than 500 meters, an underground underground river appeared on the side of the corridor. The icy cold water was rushing. Some stone houses were dug directly on the stone wall of the river. The river flooded the ground. In order to avoid being soaked by water, this is the so-called 'water prison'.

Fei was completely shocked at this time.

The scale of this iron prison and water prison is far beyond his previous imagination. Even with the modern construction methods of the 21st century in the previous life, it may take more than a dozen or two to dig out such a huge palace in the belly of the stone mountain. In ten years, countless financial, human and material resources have been exhausted... It is so shocking, it is hard to imagine, who exactly dug such a huge grotto?

As if seeing Fei's suspicion, the warden Oleg followed behind him, and introduced with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, this prison was not built by Xiangbo City itself... According to royal documents According to records, a commoner who went hunting on the mountain accidentally discovered this underground mí cave more than a hundred years ago. After the royal family knew about it, they immediately ordered to block it. It was transformed into an impenetrable prison. For more than 60 years, no prisoner has ever escaped from here. It is said that your father, the old King Alexander, once imprisoned a very terrible master here, but that master Even to the point of death, I couldn't escape from the prison..."

I see.

Listening to the introduction of the warden Oleg, Fei suddenly realized and nodded secretly.

This kind of statement makes sense. Such a huge underground grotto cannot be excavated by the current national strength of Xiangbo City. Even Xiangbo City was once a fourth-class subordinate country with a slight status. In 2000, it was impossible to excavate such a huge underground grotto that was a bit terrifying.

"Then do you know who dug this grotto?" Fei asked.

"No one can explain this clearly. There are no clues left in the grotto. Except for these simple stone houses and corridors, there are not even some murals or statues left. Any words or other supplies found in it, it seems that it was excavated by someone, and then abandoned for some mysterious reason, some people once suspected that this is a masterpiece of God!" Oleg said quickly.

"God's masterpiece?"

"Yes, except for the supreme and omnipotent God, it is very difficult for human beings to dig such a huge underground palace out of the hard rock at the belly of the stone mountain...Of course, some people say that this grotto may be the work of the cave dwarves, but Even the dwarves have disappeared for four or five hundred years..."

Just as Oleg was talking, Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and his field of vision suddenly widened. He saw a hall with an inner space perhaps hundreds of meters high suddenly appearing in front of him, densely packed with braziers all over the stone walls of the hall. And the sky above, looking up, it looks like the stars in the sky are constantly shining in the dark night sky, which is beautiful.

Layers of stairs were dug out of the stone wall of the hall, winding upwards, the stone wall more than 100 meters high was divided into ten whole floors, and densely packed stone houses were dug on each floor, which gave Fei the feeling like It was during the transition of time and space that I suddenly came to the inside of a 100-meter skyscraper in my previous life, which was extremely shocking.

No words can describe the shock in Fei's heart at this moment.

"Your Majesty, this is the place where some major criminals are held. The bodies of the black-clothed mage and the silver-masked man you brought back before are all held here. The former king's guard captain Peter Cech you are going to interrogate this time is because of his body. Charged with treason, he is also being held here."

Oleg introduced carefully.

Fei Fei nodded, and said: "Well, very good, Oleg, you send someone to follow Lord Brook to tell Cech to bring him here, I want to see him."

Oleg hurriedly called two jailers over, gave some instructions, and led Brook up the steps on the stone wall, and soon disappeared into the corridor on the stone wall. Cech is a repeat offender and was imprisoned on the seventh floor, which will take some time.

Fei took the opportunity to carefully review the layout of the entire super hall. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. Even he himself attributed such a building to a miracle. Adding up the tall caves, they can't compare to such a mí cave in terms of scale.

Suddenly, Fei's sight fell on a black steel gate more than 20 meters high on the distant stone wall. This gate was engraved with mysterious patterns, which looked a little familiar.

"What is that gate for?" Fei asked.
