The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 47 Partridge (1)

When I entered Guhuai Town, I felt something was wrong. The road in front of me was desolate and far away, as if it had been forgotten by the world. It didn't look like an ordinary village with people coming and going. Rain, the whole road is even more desolate.Halfway through the walk, a group of huge ancient locust trees blocked the road behind. I made great efforts to get out of the bushes, and was immediately stunned by the sight in front of me.

A camp in the mountain depression is built against the mountain wall, like a silent monster, although it doesn’t say a word, it may jump up at any time, and it’s obvious that it’s only enough for me with high-quality ribs Gap.The camp was built to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, no matter how dull I was, I could see it. How could this be a town? It was clearly a military fortress. His nose fit for a beating was flattened.

When I was in Songxia Town, Qiu Yehong handed me a letter addressed to a man named Qin Jian in Guhuai Town.This letter was given by a woman to Qiu Yehong's mother, Ye'er, and asked her to pass it on to me.We don't know who this woman is, and what is the relationship with the Wei family tragedy. Besides, I have never heard of the place name Guhuai, and I don't know who Qin Jian is. How do I send the letter?

At this time, Bu Ying volunteered and asked me to stay in Songxia Town and go out to investigate by myself. After a few days, I came back and told me that I found Guhuai Town and Qin Jian.As soon as I heard it, I wanted to drag him here to deliver the letter, but he tried his best to shirk it, saying that he still wanted to find his father, led me to a nearby village and town, showed me the way, and then left on his own.

We haven't read the contents of this letter. Originally, Bu Ying wanted to open the letter, but I stopped him. Not peeping other people's letters is the first rule of patrolling the city.Bu Ying sneered at me, the disdain on his face was ready to come out, I was too lazy to talk to him, and thought that as soon as the letter was delivered, I would know who the woman who sent the letter was, so I came here alone, but I saw Arrived at the scene in front of me.

Obviously, Bu Ying knew that this was not a town, so he couldn't shirk it.When I thought of being tricked by him again, my fists felt itchy, but since I was already here, I could only bite the bullet and move forward.When I got close to the camp, I gradually saw the camp clearly, and I suddenly felt cold again.

The camp in front of me was actually closed, with high walls standing, and two heavy gates in the middle, which looked like they were repelling people thousands of miles away. It was more like a prison than a camp.I hesitated in front of the door for a long time before finally making up my mind to knock on the door.

Surrounded by loneliness, I knocked on the door suddenly, and there was a dull echo immediately. A few strange birds on the mountain wall were startled by the echo, and they spread their wings and flew in mid-air. What about uninvited guests.I looked up at the birds, the sky was gray and blue, but it was highlighting the sharpness of the beaks.

I couldn't help shivering, and turned to look at the gate, only to meet a pair of gray eyes, I was so frightened that I took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.The door opened a gap at some point, and a person stood in the gap and looked at me gloomyly, without saying a word. Although his face was expressionless, the meaning was clear at a glance: Talk about something, get out if you have nothing to do.

I was a little creepy about this gloomy place, and actually wanted to get out, but I had no choice but to say: "The patrolling horse, here to deliver the letter."

The person inside the door was obviously stunned for a moment, and slowly repeated: "The city patrol horse?"

I nodded, but the man ignored me, and murmured to himself again: "The patrolling horse...the patrolling horse...it's not him, it's not him!"

"Not who?" I couldn't help asking.

When the man came back to his senses, the disappointment on his face was unbearable, which made people feel a little sad.He asked me in a daze, "Who are you looking for?"

"Qin Jian." I said, "Is he here?"

"You are a city patrol horse, and you are looking for Qin Jian, who told you to come?" The man asked me, with a hint of hope on his face.

My heart moved, and I suddenly asked: "Are you waiting for Gu Yin to come?"

"You know Gu Yin?" The man's face suddenly showed ecstasy, and his voice trembled, "He called you here, right?"

I thought about it, and neither nodded nor shook my head, but said: "I can't explain this matter in a few words, are you Qin Jian?"

"I'm not, I'll take you to see him." He said, resisting his excitement and uneasiness, opened the door a little and let me in.I saw that although he looked at me through the crack of the door, he didn't look down on me, and was quite enthusiastic, so I was a little relieved, so I followed him through the open space behind the door.

This open space is almost as big as a courtyard, and it can accommodate hundreds of people. It looks like a martial arts arena.Facing the gate is a long row of brick and tile houses, with more than a dozen rooms in a row, with white walls and black tiles.Judging from the layout, there should be another row of similar houses behind this row of houses.

Ordinary people don’t build houses like this. I am more and more sure that this is a barracks, but the person who opened the door is not wearing a military uniform, but a bunt. I can’t help but wonder, it seems that people like Qin Jian are not soldiers. Why? But hiding in such a remote barracks?
I tried to strike up a conversation with the person who led the way, trying to get out of his mouth, so that I would know who I was going to see later, but the person turned a deaf ear to my words, and just kept saying to me courteously, hurry up It's here, it's almost here.It doesn't look like he wants to neglect me.

What a strange person, I wondered in my heart, so I had to keep my mouth shut.The man led me to a room on the right in the middle of the row of houses, reached out and knocked on the door, and said, "Prisoner, the patrol horse is here."

I was stunned when I heard the words, this person is called Qin Jian "The Warden", this is actually a prison converted from a barracks!
Qin Jian answered inside: "Come in." The man stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, leading me into the room.

The light in the room was dim, and a few rays of light sneaked in from the window, as if he was about to do something shady, hiding in the corner timidly.A man sat vaguely behind a desk looking at me, blending in with the room.Suddenly, I had an illusion, it seemed that what was looking at me was not a person, but this room—even this strange prison.

Why did that mysterious woman ask me to send a letter here?Judging from the tone of the person who opened the door, the people here knew Gu Yin and were waiting for him to come, so what is the relationship between this prison and Gu Yin?
I thought to myself, Qin Jian behind the table didn't speak for a moment, after a while, Qin Jian suddenly stood up from behind the table, just like the incarnation of this prison suddenly appeared, I was startled, my legs Secretly working hard, just waiting to see if there are horns on his head, so as to decide whether to kneel down and beg for mercy or run away.

Qin Jian came out from behind the table, came to me, and asked in a daze, "Did he ask you to come?"

The "he" in this sentence must refer to the ancient tone.I shook my head and said, "No. Someone asked me to send you a letter. As for who sent the letter, I don't know."

Taking advantage of the gap between words, I have already looked him over.About the same height as me, about forty years old, but full of gray hair, with a gloomy expression, it seems that he is not guarding this prison, but this prison is trapping him.

After hearing that Gu Yin didn't ask me to come, he opened his mouth slightly, and after a long time, he murmured: "Ten years." There was a poignant bitterness in his words, and he couldn't hide it.

He has been waiting for Gu Yin here for ten years?This is a prison, what is he waiting for Gu Yin to come?

I was full of doubts, and was about to ask him, when I heard him say again: "Do you believe me?"

I took the letter out of my pocket and handed it to him. Qin Jian took the letter, stood in front of me and opened it, and read it in the dim light with a calm expression. After reading it, he slowly read the letter After folding it, put it back into the envelope as it was, with meticulous and orderly movements.

I couldn't help asking him, "What did the letter say?"

Qin Jian didn't listen, and behaved exactly like the person who brought me in just now. It seemed that people in this prison lived in their own world, and it was up to them to decide what they wanted to hear.Seeing that he didn't answer me, I asked again: "The person who wrote the letter has a lot to do with my family. Do you know who she is?"

"Since you're here, just do what the letter says." Qin Jian said to me solemnly.

"What did the letter say?" I couldn't figure it out. "What are you going to do?"

"Come with me." Qin Jian ignored me, folded the letter and put it in his pocket, then turned and walked towards the door.The man who led me in just now also followed me, with a dignified and humble expression.

Qin Jian led me through the passage in the middle of the first row of houses.Behind the house is another large open space, and the four corners of the open space are guarded by gunmen. As I expected, there is another row of houses on the other side of the open space, but the middle of the open space is separated by a row of fences.This site should be a place for the prison to release wind, and the fence in the middle must be used to separate two different groups of people.

Qin Jian led me past the fence and came to a door.The person behind me stepped forward quickly, took out his key and opened the door, Qin Jianjian walked in first.I secretly thought in my heart, this is where the prison is. Qin Jian brought me here. Could it be that the letter said that he asked him to bring me to see someone?

Just thinking about it, Qin Jian waved to me again when she saw that I was not moving forward, and I quickly followed after seeing this.As soon as I entered the prison, I felt prying eyes from all directions, and I was immediately horrified, as if a thousand arrows were piercing my heart.I stood still in the prison and looked around. Since I had just walked in from the outside, my eyes couldn't adapt to the darkness in the prison for a while, and I couldn't see anything, only countless pairs of sharp eyes.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I just think these eyes are surprisingly bright, and when I get used to the darkness in the prison, I look again, but I find that these eyes are all dim.The owner of the eyes silently watched me follow behind Qin Jian. In my impression, prisons are often dirty and messy, and the people inside are also extremely vicious. Whenever someone approaches, they will make loud noises.

But the prison in front of me is completely different from what I imagined, and it can even be said to be spotless.The prisoners inside are not only neither fierce nor hungry, they are also a bit gentle and gentle. They don’t look fierce in their eyes, but watch us pass through the passage in the middle of the cell with a strange silence.

I was secretly amazed in my heart, never imagined that there would be such a strange prison.Qin Jian led me to the innermost part of the prison, ordered the person behind him to open the cell, then nodded to me, motioning for me to go in.I peeped inside, thinking that the man he wanted me to see was in this cell, so I stooped and went in.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked in, I heard a "click" behind me, and the door of the cell was locked.
