Chapter 185 One hundred and sixty second chapter two hundred and fifty generals

The prison of the Imperial Oversight Office is nicknamed the "Death Sanatorium" in the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital.According to the laws of the empire, the Ombudsman's office is used to monitor illegal and misconduct among imperial officials and nobles. The Ombudsman's office itself has the power of supervision and is responsible for collecting various criminal evidences, but it does not have the final judgment power. As we all know, the Ombudsman Office is actually divided into internal and external divisions. The outer division is also responsible for openly accepting various anonymous reports, and under its command is a group of mysterious spies who are responsible for monitoring the reputation of local officials across the empire.The inner hall is the real core. When some important figures in the imperial capital fall, they are usually sent to the inner hall of the Supervisory Office for processing.

In other words, if you are just an official the size of a sesame seed in one place, even if you are charged with treason, you are not qualified to enter the inner court of the Supervisory Office.Those who can come in are either the prime minister or the ministers of various ministries, or they are important military personnel. There is no certain level. You will definitely not be able to enter this "death sanatorium". There are ups and downs in the officialdom, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Often, one day he is still a powerful and powerful person who attracts everyone's attention, and the next day he becomes a prisoner.As for today's prisoners, maybe if the wind changes the next day, they will be able to walk out of the prison of the Supervisory Office and the officials will be reinstated.Therefore, in the cells in the inner hall of the Supervision Office, the distinguished prisoners held here are actually treated extremely preferentially.In addition to the poor living conditions, the people in charge here often try their best to satisfy other food, clothing and housing, and open the door to convenience.After all, the prisoners here were all powerful and wealthy figures before they came in, and no one dared to offend them rashly.Although he is in trouble now, maybe he will go out after two days.At that time, if such a powerful person is offended, the people in the cells here will suffer.

Therefore, the prisoners held here are often very comfortable. It is even said that in addition to food and clothing, even if you want a woman, as long as you are willing to spend money, they can send you there. This unspoken rule is actually known to everyone in the imperial capital.But the big bosses and high officials of any film will turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, because people always have luck, maybe they will fall into that place one day when they are in trouble, let alone this kind of thing. Coming out is also a frivolous act of offending people, why bother?The trick of being an official is to make fewer unnecessary enemies.

Therefore, the prison conditions in the inner hall of the Supervision Office are so good and the treatment is so good that it has even earned the reputation of a "sanatorium".However, the word death is also indispensable.Anyone who can enter here is a felony. Whether you can go home and continue to be a powerful person after recuperating, or go directly to the execution ground... It depends on everyone's fate. Before Du Wei came to the inner prison of the Supervisory Office, he had heard about these things, but after seeing them, he realized that they were not as exaggerated as rumored outside.

The Imperial Supervision Office was set up in the south of the city, in the imperial capital city amidst tall buildings, but the Supervision Office was only composed of a large group of small buildings with three or four floors, a small road that was not spacious, and the road was very deep. There is not enough sunlight, and the green pine trees on both sides give a slightly gloomy atmosphere in this environment.The gate of the Supervision Office is not grandly built, on the contrary, it has a bit of old and decayed taste.Especially the open space next to the gate, which is specially used to park carriages, is so small that it is almost chilling.

Which of the official offices in any part of the imperial capital is not magnificently built?As the inspector general's office at the national level of the empire, the parking lot is so small that it can only accommodate three or five carriages at most. But it's also understandable: well, which nobleman would run here if he has nothing to do? After the coup, the Supervisory Office detained many rich and noble ministers who participated in the coup, and there were also many people who belonged to the First Prince's party who were dug out after the incident even though they did not riot on the spot, and were also invited by the Supervisory Office Drink tea here.This made the originally gloomy Supervision Office a bit more popular. The soldiers standing guard at the gate were members of the Guards Corps drawn from around the imperial capital, and they all had murderous looks on their faces.

Du Wei was made a hereditary duke by the regent, and after the coup, so many glorious court titles were hung on his head in one breath, such as court magic consultant, university scholar, great astrologer, etc. Now counting, he Almost the most popular person in the entire imperial capital, such a person came to the Supervisory Office. The leader of the Supervisory Office happened to be away, and I don’t know if he avoided it on purpose. The baron came out with people to greet him. Du Wei was riding a white horse, followed by two red-clothed court magicians, and two inner court guards given to him by Prince Chen. Sitting on the horse, he glanced at the people from the Supervision Office who came out in front of him. He rolled over and got off. After getting off the horse, he handed the whip to the attendant, with a sincere look on his face: "Thank you, Mr. Robinski."

"Your Excellency, the Duke is here today..." As a person in the Supervision Office, Robinski has welcomed and sent him over the years. Naturally, he has experienced a long career and has become a fine person. He speculated in his heart while interviewing him. : "Could it be that the regent has something..." "No." Du Wei shook his head, first cast a reassuring look at the other party: "I'm here for a private matter. I want to see Earl Raymond." Robinski immediately understood the meaning, who in the imperial capital doesn't know the identity of the newly promoted duke?It was also expected that he would come to visit his father now.Robinski hurriedly dispersed his followers, took a person with him and led Du Wei inside.

From a distance, the prison in the inner hall looks like a shrunken castle made of boulders, only about three stories high.It is said that the origin of this castle is also quite interesting. Before the Roland Empire unified the mainland, the imperial capital was still the capital of a small medium-sized country in the middle of the mainland. The prison castle in the Supervision Office was originally the royal palace of that small country.It's just that later, Emperor Aragorn established the empire to unify the mainland, and the emperor Ding was in this city, and he built a majestic palace. The original small palace that destroyed the country was naturally abandoned. Stone materials, the small palace that destroyed the country was also demolished in half, and most of the stone materials were filled into the walls of the imperial capital.But the remaining half was not demolished. Later, it was seen that the small palace of the country was built very solidly, and it simply became the prison of the Supervisory Office.

It used to be the royal palace of a country back then, but now it has become a place where prisoners are held.The dramatic changes in history are really touching. The castle built of gray boulders looks thick and steady from the outside, but when you walk in, you will immediately feel a hint of coolness. The thick and hard boulders completely block the heat of the sun. The interior of the castle is full of eerie feeling.The oil lamps on both sides add to the coldness. Du Wei's boots trampled on the icy rock, and as Baron Robinski walked up the steps, a huge iron gate was in front of him, and several fully armed warriors were wearing armor.Holding an ax and gun, there are archers patrolling on a watchtower next to it, and a group of heavily armed soldiers is not far away. Obviously, the guards are still very strict.

The iron gate slowly rose, and Baron Robinski led Du Wei in. He went up two steps and walked to a corridor to the left. The corridors in this old castle are also full of thick The cold boulders are just rooms in the corridor. The doors of the rooms are all solid but fully closed iron gates. There is only a small opening left on each door, which can barely send in some food every day. "Earl Raymond has a different status, and I have already arranged a spacious single room for him." Knowing that he was about to take pictures of Du Wei, the new Duke's horse, Robinski repeatedly introduced: "Lord Earl Raymond, I I knew him at the beginning. He is here now, so of course he won’t suffer any hardships. I let people eat three meals a day, all of which are delicious and delicious, and afternoon tea is delivered every day. Lord Earl is in a good mood these two days, It’s just that he doesn’t like to talk very much. He just sits in the room and reads books every day. He ordered me to send a set of "General History of the Mainland" in yesterday. At this time, he should have just had afternoon tea and is reading..." Du Wei sighed, looked at the supervisor of the Supervision Bureau, smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Baron." Turning around a corridor, Du Wei suddenly stopped, and heard a short woman's chuckle faintly from an iron gate passing by. The smell of dust. Naturally, Robinski also heard this, and his expression was a little ugly at the moment. Although this inner court operation has long been a hidden rule that everyone knows well, after all, Du Wei in front of him is the new Duke, and this half The older boy probably still doesn't understand the tricks, if he tells it in front of the regent after returning... Thinking of this, Robinski's head was covered with cold sweat, and he couldn't help secretly regretting that he shouldn't have accepted the five hundred gold coins from the prisoner in this room, and found him a red card from the Fengyue circle in the south of the city.But in fact, the overnight fee for this red-card prostitute was only three hundred, so it goes without saying that he, Roberski, swallowed two hundred of it himself. Du Wei just smiled lightly, and said leisurely: "It seems that the rumors are true, and this 'Death Sanatorium' is also worthy of its name." He casually pointed to the iron gate with a woman's voice and said with a smile: "Which one is locked here?" grown ups?" "Yes..." Robinski wiped his cold sweat and said, "It's General Longbottom." Du Wei was just asking casually at first, but when Robersky answered the name, he couldn't help but pay attention to it, and his heart moved: "General Longbottom? Is he still locked up here?" Although Du Wei didn't have a deep understanding of the aristocratic circles in the imperial capital, he had heard of the name "Longbottom". Speaking of which, this person can be regarded as an outlier. The expedition across the desert that the empire had waged in the northwest with other races 20 years ago had won a "tragic victory" after wasting time and money. The plan to eradicate the grass and roots was blocked by the temple, making the war meaningless even though it was won , and also planted a bane for the empire. Afterwards, the empire stationed 20,000 cavalry on the alien grassland behind the northwest desert all the year round. The 20,000 cavalry really spent countless gold coins every year, because there was a desert between the empire and the 20,000 troops hanging out alone. The supplies and equipment replacement, etc., all cost several times the price. The empire's finances almost use the financial resources to support a legion to maintain 20,000 cavalry every year. And this General Longbottom, seven or eight years ago, was the general who commanded the 20,000 cavalry.Speaking of the weirdness of this person, it is really a bit emotional.This guy came from a low-level noble family (who would be willing to be sent to the alien grassland behind the desert to become an official if the really rich and powerful nobles did?), and he became a commanding officer by relying on his true skills. But there was no war in the mainland, so he was finally sent to the northwest to command the 20,000 "high-priced cavalry". This guy has since added a series of nicknames: butcher, executioner, madman, lewd general, and so on. Speaking of this person's ability, it is true that he is good at riding on horseback and commanding troops.As for his character, it makes people laugh and cry: this person is greedy for money, lustful, and insatiable, and has an extreme and irritable personality. What does he do... You can call him decisive and reckless, or you can say he is decisive. In short, later a certain military leader made an evaluation of him, which was surprisingly apt, and gave him a nickname: Two Hundred and Five Generals. Even Du Wei has heard of several famous deeds of General Longbottom.Originally, the 20,000 cavalry he brought was to deter the alien races in the grassland, but they were not allowed to easily rub against the alien races on weekdays, but this guy actually accepted a bribe of 300 gold from the leader of one of the tribes of the grassland alien races, and then brought them with him that night. Three thousand people helped others to wipe out another tribe.Afterwards, several tribes on the grassland united to seek justice, but he actually sold the tribe that bribed him, and turned his gun to help other tribes wipe out the tribe that bribed him. He gained a lot of benefits, including more than 5,000 cattle and sheep alone, and almost all the soldiers under him got a new set of cow and sheep fur coats. As a result, things broke out and caused a lot of diplomatic troubles for the empire.Many bigwigs above really hated this troublesome two hundred and five.But no one really wants to go to that broken place in the northwest, and there is no one to replace him for a while, so he can only stay there. There is another thing: because of the existence of a desert in the middle, the imperial military’s support for the 20,000 cavalry is often not delivered on time. When the horses are replaced in a certain year, the 20,000 cavalry have 500 old horses that need to be replaced. , but the imperial military dragged on for three full months and there was no news.General Longbottom was furious and immediately led 5,000 people, pretending to be horse thieves, and swept the two tribes on the edge of the grassland overnight, and robbed hundreds of good horses.A tribe of 2,000 people was killed by him, and he also brought back thousands of cattle and sheep that he could bring back, and slaughtered and burned the ones that could not be taken away! "Never leave a hair on those savages." (This is his exact words). He has done more than one robbery by pretending to be a horse thief. He was nicknamed "Dogs and chickens will not be left behind". What is most unacceptable to the honest gentlemen in the imperial capital is that he even connives at his subordinates whoring prostitutes. Originally, it was normal for Qiu Ba, a soldier with a low name, to seek out prostitutes to vent his feelings on weekdays, but this guy was able to do such unscrupulous things aboveboard. His most glorious time was to bring thousands of The man overturned the desert and cleared out several brothels in a small town on the edge. He kept all the whores inside for three days. Thousands of people made a fuss in that small town and even fought with the local guards. The army fought a few times. In the words of this two hundred and five: "The soldiers are all men, men, dead birds are in the sky! Damn, all of them are suffering on the grassland. They don't move for a few years and don't go home. I have never touched a woman before. Is there such a mother who makes people serve as soldiers! All my subordinates are dead! Men, the military department doesn’t care about the lower body, I care!” When this man was around, the 20,000 people under him believed in him almost like a god, and they dared to break through mountains of swords and seas of fire with a single point of a spear.These people are almost half-bandits and half-army in the Northwest. There was even a time when the chief of a certain tribe married his daughter. The lecherous general intercepted the sending-off team after hearing that he led them halfway. Regardless of the local customs, he flashed his saber, Be sure to see what the bride looks like. In the local customs, a girl before she gets married cannot be looked at by others, but this lewd general ignored it and forcibly tore off the veil of the girl, and after reading it, he left a sentence: "Damn, you have a pockmarked face. I don't have my concubine Shui Ling." After finishing speaking, he led his people away. Afterwards, the two tribes failed to marry, and the bride whose face was looked at was sent back, and she could never get married again.It also caused a big fight between the two tribes.The tribe of the bride's natal family brought troops to settle accounts with this lecherous general. Facing tens of thousands of people, he dared to lead them to the grassland and confront them for a day and a night. In the end, someone from the tribe came to negotiate and reprimanded the 250th general for violating the customs of the grassland tribes. The general pouted at the time and said, "Isn't it just to show your face! Let's do this, this pockmarked girl, others don't want it. I want it! Send it to my camp, I just marry her!" At that time, the two hundred and five generals actually said in front of the envoy sent by the other tribe: "Damn it, I will look at her face during the day, and strip her naked at night to look at her body. I can look at her however I want! I am tired of watching, but I can still vent my anger. From now on, I will give you a beating in the morning, at noon and at night. , I have nothing to do at night, and I will give you a beating! Hmph, what a big deal!" In this way, he took a house of concubines. Speaking of the deeds of the 250th general, there are many more. Du Wei looked at it almost as a legendary novel. At the end, people like Du Wei couldn't help sighing. Where is this two hundred and five?What a talent! !He killed, robbed, and greedy on the grassland. He seemed to be rude and greedy, but what he was actually doing was to divide and rule!Snatching a bride is destroying the marriage between other people's big tribes. Marrying one's own is even more meaningful... Not to mention that he is definitely a good hand in commanding the army! So talented, so talented! But in the end, the two hundred and five generals were unlucky.Not only did he rob with troops, but he even robbed the imperial caravan!Just about eight years ago, he led people to rob a famous caravan on the mainland. The caravan carried dozens of carts of goods across the desert, and was robbed by him before entering the grassland. The dozens of carts of goods were all gone .Also killed more than 200 people.When this matter was revealed, no one spoke to him again. However, after Du Wei saw this paragraph later, he learned from some places that the caravan robbed by General 250 was all selling metal ores! There are no mountains and no minerals on the grasslands!Cattle and sheep can be self-sufficient in food and clothing, but the swords and weapons of soldiers cannot grow from the grass, nor can they be born from cattle and sheep!So on the grassland, the most lacking thing is iron!The caravan that the 250th General robbed was vaguely a caravan belonging to a certain noble family in the court. For his own self-interest, he dared to sell ironware to those prairie wolves! It is said that the 250 generals robbed this kind of caravan not once or twice, and finally pissed off some nobles in the imperial capital. As a result, they were dismissed and arrested and brought back to the imperial capital for trial. Du Wei didn't know what happened after that. , this 250-year-old genius probably died unjustly. But I didn't expect that this guy is still locked up in the Supervision Office, and he's fucking rich in prostitutes... The Baron Robinski was stunned for such a long time when Du Wei heard the name of the 250th general, Lombardo, feeling uneasy.He is the guard here, of course he knows that this 250th general has offended many nobles, and he is still alive today because after he was arrested, the 20,000 cavalrymen under him made trouble, and he married a wife who was a man on the grassland. The daughter of the tribal chief spent a lot of money in the officialdom of the imperial capital, which saved the life of the 250th general, but she neither tried nor released her, so she was locked up for so many years. Look at the appearance of this young duke... Could it be that the Luo Lin family was among the nobles that the 250th General offended back then? "This... Your Excellency the Duke?" Finally, Du Wei showed a smile on his face and dispelled Baron Robinski's worries: "Oh, it's all right." Du Wei shook his head, just took two steps, and suddenly stopped, then turned around and glanced at the iron gate, thought for a while, and said, "By the way, this General Longbottom, what do you like most on weekdays?" "Like?" Baron Robinski was taken aback for a moment, thinking what else could this guy like?Good food and drink, and women...other than that, nothing. What a smart person Du Wei is, you can guess it just by looking at the other person's expression.He thought for a while, then suddenly said: "By the way, I don't know much about these situations... How much would it cost for a night to find a woman like the one who is accompanying General Longbottom...?" "Huh?" Robinsky almost rolled his eyes... Could it be that the Duke became lustful after hearing the bitch in the room snorting?Grandma, if this can also hang the newly promoted and popular Grand Duke, I will let my daughter go to the Duke's house tonight to hum every day!If he can get close to the grand duke, the future is boundless! With distracting thoughts in his mind, he hurriedly said, "It won't cost much... five hundred... oh no, three hundred! Throw out three hundred gold coins, and the chick inside will have to stay with her for a whole day." three hundred? Du Wei raised his eyebrows. Although the 800 gold coins are a huge sum of money for ordinary people, it seems to Du Wei that it is still very cheap.Among other things, the ecstasy cave where the real nobles gathered outside the imperial capital that Prince Chen took him back then cost tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of gold coins at every turn. In comparison, these 300 gold coins can be regarded as a relatively "mass" consumption level. Du Wei smiled: "What about better ones?" Since you are giving favors, you might as well give them older ones. Robinski's face was covered with cold sweat. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the young duke pulled himself to talk about the price of these romances. He tremblingly said: "Well, my lord, the south of the city is no different than other places, and the south of the city is gathered in Mingming. In the area, the cost in this area is not much higher. In several famous places in the south of the city, the red-card goblins can only spend a night at a maximum of one thousand eight hundred. But if they are in the north of the city, it is no more Adding a zero is not enough." After a pause, Robinski swallowed hard and said, "But this General Longbottom is weird. He doesn't like those real delicate and expensive fairies. He just likes this kind of low-priced prostitutes. He said that whores should be open, hot and unrestrained. Most of the high-priced prostitutes are... well, what did he say... oh, pretending! He It is said that the more expensive the more the pretense, and before I touched my hands, I would spill a lot of gold coins. If I really want to pull it on the bed, it will not be very enjoyable... So... He also said that I am here for prostitution, not for money. Holy Maiden..." Du Wei almost covered his stomach with laughter.Loudly said: "Wonderful man! Wonderful man!" After finishing speaking, Du Wei pointed at the door and said in a low voice: "Baron Robinski, from now on, you will feed this Baron Longbottom with food and drink, and as for the woman, you will give me some Go to the south of the city in one breath, um, according to the general's preference, find ten or eight, and then send one in every two days." After a pause, he said: "Tomorrow I will send someone to send you 20,000 gold coins first. Come, find me when you're done." Robinski's eyes widened, and he couldn't help showing a strange expression. He turned his head and took a deep look at the big iron gate, thinking: The 250 generals are probably going to be lucky, and I don't know how he got on it. Who killed this red-hot young Grand Duke? Just thinking about how to think of a way to return the two hundred gold coins that I hacked Longbottom, such a person will come out and prosper in the future, and I dare not offend... While hesitating, Du Wei has already stepped forward, turned back and said: "Come on, Baron Robinski, and take me to my father."
