Chapter 162

The prison of the imperial Inspectorate was jokingly called the "death sanatorium" in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital. According to the laws of the Empire, the Inspectorate exercised the power to supervise the illegal acts of imperial officials and nobles. The Inspectorate itself had the power to supervise and collect all kinds of criminal evidence, but it did not have the final power to sentence.

As we all know, the Inspectorate is actually divided into internal and external departments. The external department is also responsible for accepting all kinds of anonymous reports publicly, and under its command, a group of secret agents are responsible for supervising the risk assessment of local officials in all parts of the Empire. The inner hall is the real core. After the downfall of some important figures in the imperial capital, they are usually sent to the inner hall of the Ministry of supervision.

In other words, if you are only a local official of the size of sesame seed, even if you have committed treason, you are not qualified to enter the inspection department. Those who can come in are not prime ministers, ministers of various ministries, or military dignitaries. Without a certain level, you can never enter this "death sanatorium".

With the ups and downs of officialdom, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Today, people are still in power, and the next day they become prisoners. Today's prisoners may be able to walk out of the prison of the supervision department and return to their original posts as soon as the news changes the next day. Therefore, in the cells of the inner hall of the Inspectorate, it is extremely preferential to treat the high-ranking prisoners here. In addition to the poor living conditions, the people in charge here often try their best to meet the other needs of food, clothing and housing. After all, the prisoners here were all big men with great power before they came in, and no one dared to offend them rashly. Although they are in trouble now, they may go out after two days. If you offend such a powerful person at that time. The people in the cells here are going to suffer.

Therefore, the prisoners who are often held here are very comfortable. It is even said that apart from food and clothing, even if you want a woman, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can be sent in.

In fact, everyone in the imperial capital knows this hidden rule. But the leaders and senior officials of any department turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Because people always have bad luck, maybe they will fall into that place one day when they are in trouble. What's more, this kind of thing is a boring business that offends people. Why bother? The trick of being an official is to set up few useless enemies.

Therefore, the prison conditions and treatment of the inner hall of the supervision department are so good that it even falls into the reputation of a "sanatorium". However, the word "death" is indispensable. It's a felony to get in here. Whether it's expensive to go home after convalescence or just go to the Dharma field depends on everyone's nature.

Before he came to the inner hall prison of the supervision department, Dewey had heard about these things, but after seeing them, he found that they were not as exaggerated as the rumors outside.

The imperial Inspectorate was set up in the south of the city. In the imperial capital city in the forest of tall buildings, the supervision department is only composed of a large area of low buildings with three or four floors. It is not a spacious path, and the road is very deep. Sunlight is not enough, the green pine trees on both sides, in this environment is a bit more gloomy. The gate of the supervision department was not built grandly. On the contrary, it was a bit old and decadent. In particular, the open space beside the gate is specially used to park carriages, which is almost small.

Which of the official offices in any part of the imperial capital is not built to be magnificent and solemn? As the first-class general inspector general of the Empire, the parking lot was so small that it could only hold three or five carriages at most.

But it's understandable: OK. Which nobleman will run here?

After the coup, many powerful and noble ministers who participated in the coup were detained in the supervision department, and many people who belonged to the first party of the Grand Prince were also invited here for tea by the people of the supervision department. Only in this way did the originally gloomy supervision department gain a little more popularity. The soldiers on guard at the gate were the guards who had been drawn in from around the imperial capital, and they all looked murderous.

Duvet was made a hereditary Duke by the Regent. And after the coup. There are so many glorious royal titles hanging on my head. What kind of Royal magic consultant. Now, he is almost the most popular person in the whole empire. When such a person came to the supervision department, the head of the supervision department, the Minister of supervision, was not there. I don't know if he deliberately avoided it. Only Baron robertsky, a steward of the inner hall, came out with someone to welcome him.

Duwei was riding a white horse, followed by two court magicians in red, and two Prince Chen gave them to his inner court bodyguards. Sitting on the horse, he took a look at the people from the supervision department who came out in front of him. He turned over and got off the horse, gave the whip to the followers, and looked sincere: "hard work, Lord robertsky."

"The Duchess is here today..." as a figure in the supervision department, robertsky has been here for many years. Naturally, he is a man who has experienced a lot of officialdom and has become a fine man. He speculated in his heart and asked in an interview: "is it the Regent who has something..."

"No Dewey shook his head and cast a reassuring look: "I'm here for personal business. I want to see count Raymond

Robertsky immediately a face clear meaning, the identity of the new Duke of the road, the emperor who do not know? Now he came to see his father, as expected. Robsky quickly dispersed the entourage, personally took a person to lead Duwei to go inside.

From a distance, the prison in the inner hall looks like a castle made of shrunken boulders, only about three stories high. It is said that the origin of the castle is also quite interesting.

Before the Loran Empire unified the mainland, the imperial capital was the capital of a small and medium-sized country in the middle of the mainland. The prison castle in the supervision office was originally the palace of that small country. However, later, the great alagong established an empire to unify the mainland. He established the capital in this city and built a towering imperial palace. Naturally, the original little Royal Palace which destroyed the country was abandoned. Moreover, when the walls of the capital were built, half of the little Royal Palace which destroyed the country was demolished because of the lack of stones. Most of the stones are filled into the walls of the imperial capital. The remaining half of the land was not demolished. Later, it seemed that the small Royal Palace which destroyed the country had been built so solidly that it became the prison of the supervision office.

It used to be the palace of a country, but now it has become a place for prisoners. The dramatic changes in history are also impressive.

From the outside, the castle piled up with gray boulders has a deep and steady smell. When you walk in, you will feel a cool air. Thick and hard boulders completely block the heat of the sun, and the interior of the castle is full of gloomy feeling. The oil lamps on both sides add a third of coolness.

Dewey's boots trampled on the cold rock. As Baron robertsky walked up the steps, a huge iron gate was in front of him. Several armed warriors were all in armor. Armed with axes and spears, there is a watchtower nearby, and archers patrol. Not far away is a team of armed soldiers. Obviously, the guard is still very strict.

The iron gate rises slowly. Baron robertsky led Dewey in, up two steps, and left into a corridor, which was full of thick and cold boulders in the old castle. It's just a room in the corridor. The doors are all solid but completely closed iron gates. There is only a small opening left on each door, which can barely deliver some food every day.

"Count Raymond is different. I've already arranged a spacious single room for him. " Robertsky knew that he was about to take a big picture of Dewey, the new Duke's horse, and repeatedly introduced: "count Raymond, I knew him at the beginning. Now he is here, of course, he will not suffer any hardship. I make people eat three meals a day, which are delicious and delicious, and every day he has afternoon tea. The count is in a good mood these two days. I just don't like to talk very much. I just sit in my room and read every day. Yesterday, I was told to send a set of general history of the mainland in. At this time, he should have just had afternoon tea and was reading a book.... "

Du Wei sighed, looked at the inspector general, and said with a smile, "thank you, Baron."

Just as he was turning a corridor, Dewey stopped. I heard the sound of a short woman's smile coming from an iron door passing by. The laughter was charming and dissolute, with a strong wind and dust flavor.

Of course, robertsky heard it. His face was a little ugly at the moment. Although the activities in the inner hall had already been a well-known hidden rule, after all, Dewey was the new Duke in front of him, and I'm afraid he didn't know the secret. If he went back and said it in front of the Regent

Thinking of this, robertsky was in a cold sweat. He could not help but secretly regret that he should not have accepted the 500 gold coins of the prisoner in this room and found him a red card in the wind and moon circle in the south of the city. In fact, the red card prostitute's overnight fee was only 300 yuan, and robertsky himself swallowed 200 yuan, needless to say.

Du Wei just a smile, leisurely way: "it seems that the rumor is true, this' death sanatorium 'is also worthy of the name." He pointed to the iron door that made a woman's voice and said with a smile, "which adult is closed here?"

"Yes..." robertsky said, wiping his cold sweat, "it's general lombarton."

Dewey asked casually, but when robertsky answered the name, he could not help thinking, "general lombaton? Is he still here? "

Although Dewey didn't know much about the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, he had heard of the name "Longbottom".

In a word, this man is a different kind.

Twenty years ago, the Empire fought an expedition across the desert with other nationalities in the northwest. After laboring and wasting money, it won a "tragic victory". The original plan to cut down the grass roots was blocked by the temple. Although the war won, it lost its meaning and buried a curse for the Empire.

After that, the Empire stationed 20000 cavalry troops on the alien grassland behind the northwest desert. The 20000 cavalry troops really spent countless gold coins every year. Because there was a desert between the Empire and the mainland, 20000 troops were hanging out alone, and the annual supplies and equipment replacement cost several times, The Empire's financial resources were almost used to support a legion of cavalry, maintaining 20000 cavalry a year.

And this general Longbottom, seven or eight years ago, was the commander of the 20000 cavalry. When it comes to the weirdness of this man, it's really a bit of emotion. This guy came from a lower aristocratic family (really rich and powerful aristocrat, who would like to be an official in the ghost place of the alien grassland behind the desert?), He got to the commanding officer with his real ability, but there was no war in the mainland. Finally, he was sent to the northwest to command the 20000 "sky high price cavalry".

This guy got a series of nicknames from then on: butcher, executioner, madman, lascivious general, etc.

When it comes to this man's ability, he is really good at riding horses, fighting and commanding troops. And his character, that is to make people laugh and cry: this man is greedy and lustful. And insatiable, extreme character, do things... You can say that he is arbitrary and reckless, you can also say that he is resolute.

In a word, later a big man in the military made an evaluation of him, which was surprisingly appropriate and gave him a nickname: General 250.

Even Dewey had heard of the famous deeds of general lombarton. Originally, the 20000 cavalry he took was to frighten the exotic people on the grassland. But in ordinary times, he can't easily rub with other tribes. But this guy actually took 300 gold bribes from the leader of one tribe of different nationalities in the grassland, and then he took 3000 people with him that night to help others to destroy the other tribe. Afterwards, several tribes on the grassland united to seek justice, and he sold the tribe that bribed him. Turning the gun, he helped other tribes to destroy the tribe that bribed him. As a result, he gained a lot more benefits as soon as he went in and out. Cattle and sheep alone got more than 5000. Almost everyone of his soldiers had a new coat of cattle and sheep fur.

As a result, the incident broke out and caused a lot of diplomatic troubles to the Empire. Many of the big guys above really hate the trouble. However, no one wanted to go to that shabby place in the northwest, and no one could replace him for a while, so he could only stay there.

One more thing: because of the existence of a desert in the middle, the Imperial Army's support for the 20000 cavalry troops often could not be delivered on schedule, at the time of the replacement of horses in a certain year. Five hundred old horses of the 20000 cavalry needed to be replaced, but the Imperial Army delayed for three months without any news. In his anger, general lombaton immediately took 5000 people, disguised as horse thieves, and swept two tribes on the edge of the grassland overnight, robbing hundreds of good horses. A tribe of 2000 people was killed by him, and thousands of cattle and sheep were brought back by him. Those that can't be taken away will be slaughtered and burned on the spot!

"Never leave a hair on the barbarians."（ That's what he said.

It's a robbery by posing as a horse thief. He did it more than once and was nicknamed "chicken and dog never leave". What makes those gentlemen in the imperial capital most unacceptable is that he even connives his subordinates to go whoring.

Originally, it was normal for Qiu Ba, a soldier, to find prostitutes to vent his bad name. However, this guy was able to do this kind of things that were not on the top of the table. His most beautiful time was that he took thousands of people over the desert and emptied several brothels in a small town on the edge. All the prostitutes in the brothels were wrapped up for him for three days, Thousands of people made a lot of noise in the small town, and fought with the local garrison.

In this two hundred and five words: "soldiers are all men, men, dead birds in the sky! Damn, one by one, I've been living on the grassland. I haven't been back home for several years. I've been around all my life, and I haven't even touched a woman. Is there a place where people can be soldiers like this! All my men are dead. The army doesn't care about the affairs of the lower body. I'm in charge of them! "

When this man was on the ground, the 20000 people under his command almost believed in him as if he were a God. With one point of a long gun, he dared to break through the flames. These people are almost half bandits and half soldiers in Northwest China. Even once, the chief of a big tribe married his daughter. The lecherous general intercepted the bridal procession on the way. Regardless of local customs, he had to see what the bride looked like with his saber on.

In the local customs, the girl before marriage can't be seen by others, but the lecherous general doesn't care. He pulls off the veil of other people's girl. After reading it, he still leaves a sentence: "Damn, pockmarked face, not as good as my concubine." With that, he took people away.

Afterwards, the marriage between the two tribes failed, and the bride who had been seen was returned, and she could not get married. It also brought about a big fight between the two tribes. The tribe of the bride's mother's family took men and horses to settle accounts with the lecherous general. Facing tens of thousands of people, he dared to fight with them in the grassland for a day and a night.

At last, the tribe came to negotiate and accused the general of violating the customs of the grassland tribe face to face. The general turned his lips and said, "I just saw a face! Well, this pockmarked girl. Others don't want it, I want it! Send it to my camp. I will marry her! "

At that time, the 250 general actually said in front of the emissary sent by the other tribe:

"Damn, I'll look at her face in the daytime and strip her at night. I'll see what I want! I'm tired of watching. I can still vent my anger. After that, we'll have a meal in the morning and a meal at noon and a meal at night. If you don't have anything to do at night, you can have another fight! Hum, what's the big deal

In this way, he took a concubine.

When it comes to the deeds of this 25 year old general, there are many more. Du Wei looked at it almost as a legend. At the end, people like Du Wei could not help sighing.

What's this 250? It's just a talent!! He killed and robbed on the grassland. Greed, seemingly rude and greedy, is actually a matter of differentiation and governance! To rob a bride is to destroy the marriage between other people's big tribes and marry one's own. What's more, it's of profound significance... Not to mention that he is absolutely a good hand in commanding the army!

So talented, so talented!

In the end, however, the general had bad luck. He not only plundered, but also robbed the imperial caravan! Just about eight years ago, he took people to rob a famous caravan on the mainland. The caravan crossed the desert with dozens of trucks of goods. Before it entered the grassland, it was robbed by him, and dozens of trucks of goods were gone. And killed more than 200 people. This matter turned out, and no one spoke to him any more.

However, when Duwei saw this later, he learned from some places that the caravan robbed by general 250 was all metal ore!

There are no mountains, no minerals on the grassland! Food and clothing for cattle and sheep. They are all self-sufficient, but the swords and guns of soldiers can not grow out of the grass, nor can they grow out of cattle and sheep! So on the grassland, the most scarce is iron! The caravan that the general robbed was a caravan of a noble family in the court. For his own self-interest, he dared to sell iron weapons to those coyotes!

It is said that these two hundred and five generals robbed this kind of caravan. Not once or twice. Finally, some nobles in the imperial capital were upset, and they were demoted and brought back to the imperial capital for trial. After that, Dewey didn't know. When he thought about it, the 25 year old wizard probably died of injustice.

But I didn't expect that this guy is still in the supervision department, and he has money to go whoring

The Baron robertsky was stunned for such a long time when he saw that Dewey heard the name of general Lombardo. He is the guard here. Of course, he knows that the general has offended a lot of nobles and has not died today. It's because after he was arrested, his 20000 cavalry made trouble, and one of his wives is the daughter of a tribal chief on the grassland. A large amount of gold was spent on the officialdom of the imperial capital. Only in this way can the general's life be saved without trial, They don't let people go. They've been locked up for so many years.

Look at the appearance of the young Duke... Is there the Rowling family among the nobles whom the general 250 offended?

"This... Your highness?"

Finally, a smile appeared on Dewey's face, dispelling Baron robertsky's misgivings: "Oh, it's OK."

Du Wei shook his head, just walked two steps, then stopped. Then he looked back at the iron door, thought about it, and said, "by the way, what's general lombaton's favorite in his daily life?"

"Like it?" Baron robertsky was stunned for a moment, thinking what else could this guy like? Good to eat, good to drink, and women... In addition, there is no more.

What a clever man duvet is, you can guess from the other person's expression. He thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "by the way, I don't know about these situations... How much does it cost to find a woman like the one who accompanies general Longbottom in the room now?"

"Eh?" Robsky almost didn't stare his eyes out... Did the Duke have a lust when he heard that bitch inside snort? Grandma, if you can hang this new and popular Duke, I will let my daughter go to the Duke's house tonight and hum every day! If you can get close to the grand duke, you will have a bright future!

He thought in his heart and said quickly, "it's not much to spend... Five hundred... No, three hundred! If you throw out three hundred gold coins, the girl inside will have to accompany you for a day. "

Three hundred?

Du Wei eyebrows pick, although the 800 gold coins for ordinary people is a huge sum of money, but Du Wei seems to be very cheap. Don't say, Prince Chen took himself to the ecstasy cave where the real nobles gathered outside the imperial capital, which was often tens of thousands of gold coins.

Comparatively speaking, the three hundred gold coins are quite popular.

Dewey laughed. "What about the better one?" Since it's a gift, you might as well give it a little bigger.

Robertsky was in a cold sweat. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the young Duchess talked about the price of the wind and moon. He said with trembling fear: "well, my Lord, the south of the city is no better than other places. The south of the city is the place where people gather. No matter how high the cost, it can't be higher. There are some famous red card goblins in the south of the city, The highest level of staying overnight is only 800 children. But if it's in the north of the city, it's not enough to add a zero. " After a pause, robertsky swallowed hard and said, "but this general lombarton is strange. He doesn't like those real charming and expensive goblins. He likes these low-priced ones. He says that whoring should be open and hot. Most of those high-priced prostitutes are... Well, what does he say... Oh, pretending! He said that the more expensive it was, the more expensive it was. Before he touched it, he was going to spill a lot of gold coins. He really wanted to pull it to the bed, and it wasn't very pleasant... So... He also said that Lao Tzu was for whoring, not for the Holy girl... "

Dewey almost covered his stomach with laughter. "Wonderful person! Wonderful man

After that, Dewey pointed to the door and said in a low voice, "Baron robertsky, from today on, you will provide good food and drink for Baron lombarton. As for women, you can take a breath to the south of the city. Well, according to the general's preference, you can find ten or eight, and then send one in every two days." After a pause, he said, "tomorrow I'll send someone to send you 20000 gold coins first, and then come to me when you run out."

Robertsky's eyes were round, and he couldn't help looking back at the iron gate with a strange expression. He thought: I'm afraid the two hundred and five generals are going to be lucky. I don't know how he caught up with the red and purple young Duke? He was thinking of a way to return the two hundred gold coins that he had blacked Longbottom. When such a man came out and developed, he didn't dare to offend himself... After hesitation, Dewey went to the front and said, "come on, Baron robertsky, take me to see my father."
