Chapter 3754 Detention
Xu Hu rode on his horse and said coldly: "In addition to those who have been executed and some who took advantage of the chaos to escape, there are still 45 people detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
Hong Luan asked: "Will they... be beheaded like us?"
Xu Hu glanced at her and said: "How to decide is decided by the court. I have no right to interfere."
"Sister, don't ask." Atai pulled up Hongluan's clothes, "Rebellion is a major crime against the nine clans, and the servants of our family are naturally guilty of the same crime."
Hong Luan nodded, hugging his knees and huddled in the corner of the prison van.
At this time, a piece of cabbage suddenly flew over and hit Hongluan in the face.
She was startled, and when she looked up, she saw a child of seven or eight years old.
The child pointed at them and cursed: "You are rebels. You have killed many people. You deserve to die!"
When Atai saw his sister being bullied, he was furious and shouted: "You bastard, do you have eyes? My sister is a woman, how can she rebel and kill people?"
Artest was only nine years old and still a child.
The child was not afraid of him and hummed: "If you weren't a rebel, why would the court arrest you?"
"Because my sister is implicated, implicated!" Artai stood up, glanced at the people watching around the street, and roared, "Whoever dares to throw something at my sister again, I can't spare you! When I am beheaded, I will Become a headless ghost and haunt you day and night!"
The child turned pale with fright.
"Calling you nonsense!" The child's mother slapped the child, pulled him and hurried away.
At this time, a man rushed over, holding a big stone, and shouted: "You are with the rebels, please give the lives of my wife and children!"
If such a big stone hits Hongluan, it will be destroyed on the spot.
But the man was not able to get close to the prison car.
Xu Hu kicked the man away with one kick. After several of his men went over and beat him away, he said coldly: "Whoever dares to interfere with my official business will be treated as a traitor and be locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department!"
Xu Hu's intimidation worked, and the rest of the journey was quiet. No one dared to insult or throw things.
Not far away, by the window of the second-floor teahouse, two figures were looking at this side from a distance.
"You couldn't bear it just now and acted like a hero to save the beauty?" Prince Zhao Yuanjing said.
"I don't know whether I should see her or not. She doesn't remember me at all. If I always show up, will it cause some bad memories for her?" Jin Lan followed the prison car with her eyes, "I know, His Highness specially sent Xu The general personally arrested them to protect them. If Hong Luan's appearance falls into the wrong hands, I don't know what will happen to her."
Zhao Yuanjing said: "For now, we can only put them in jail, and I will ask others to take care of them. But it is hard to say whether we can spare their lives."
Jin Lan turned around and knelt down to him: "I should not embarrass Your Highness with my children's personal affairs."
"Okay, let's get up." Zhao Yuanjing said calmly, "Originally, they are not guilty. But even I can't guarantee that I will be able to save their lives. You have to be mentally prepared."
Jin Lan nodded and looked in the direction of the prison car in silence.
Hongluan and Atai were imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Generally speaking, male and female prisoners are held separately, but maybe Xu Hu took special care of them, maybe because he knew they were siblings, or maybe there were too many prisoners and the cells were not enough.
