154 A Lucky GuyThe next morning, Qi Tian rushed to Xue Qinghe's house without stopping.
This time, Dugu Bo did not accompany him.
"Brother Qi Tian, you came so early. I was just about to go look for you." Xue Qinghe chuckled, made a gesture of invitation, and got into the carriage with Qi Tian.
In the carriage, Xue Qinghe said calmly: "The matter about Wang Sheng has been investigated. After my questioning, I can confirm that he is innocent and the uncle has never tortured him. But this is all I know. As for Wang Sheng's current situation, I need to go to the prison to find out."
It was not easy for Xue Qinghe to get this information in one night.
Qi Tian was somewhat nervous. It was still unknown whether Wang Sheng could survive in such an environment as the Heavenly Prison.
With a nervous mood, half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a building in Tiandou City.
After getting off the carriage, Qi Tian's first feeling was that he might have come to the wrong place.
He had passed by this complex of buildings several times before, but had never associated it with the Heavenly Prison.
Because, it looks like this is an official institution of the Tiandou Empire. Moreover, it is open to the public. Anyone who needs it can come here to apply for Tiandou City household registration.
Xue Qinghe explained: "The location of the Heavenly Prison is a secret of the Empire, but as a member of the Empire's high-level power, Earl Qitian has the right to know the specific situation of the Heavenly Prison."
Marquis and duke, these two titles are indeed higher than earl, but the people who hold these two titles are very rare, and there are only 20 to 30 people in the entire empire who hold these titles. Although earl is the third-class title, it occupies many positions of real power, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a high-level title.
As for the building in front of him, it was indeed not a prison, but there was an underground passage inside that led directly to the prison. Even Xue Qinghe did not really know the real entrance to the prison.
After all, the criminals imprisoned in the Sky Prison are all related to the royal family. Apart from Xue Ye and Xue Xing, the only ones who know the real entrance are the jailers in the Sky Prison.
With such security measures, even a Titled Douluo would find it difficult to rescue people.
Xue Qinghe led Qi Tian and his attendants and soon arrived at the underground passage.
When the guard saw Xue Qinghe reveal his identity, he opened the door to the soul guide device.
"Your Highness, please do not stay too long, and do not walk around in the prison at will. I will report to His Majesty the truth about your visit."
Xue Ye must have known about Xue Qinghe's investigation of Wang Sheng yesterday. The fact that they were allowed in today was naturally with Xue Ye's tacit consent.
Entering the underground passage, the soul guide lights on both sides quickly lit up.
Moreover, this is a straight passage, and there is no soundproofing material around the walls, so any small sound will be amplified. If anyone dares to come here to rob the prison, the guards at the other end of the passage will definitely notice something unusual.
While marveling at the ingenious design, Qi Tian chose not to ask any more questions.
The passage was very long. I didn't know how long I walked before I saw an open soul guide door at the end.
Behind the door stood a group of fully armed guards.
"We welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." the guards said in unison.
An old man walked past the guards and came to Xue Qinghe. "Your Highness, I am the warden of this prison. Please move over and talk to me in detail about the matter that Your Highness sent someone to investigate yesterday."
The old man looked a little gloomy, with bat-like features on his face. His martial spirit was most likely a bat. Otherwise, if it were someone else, there would be no way they could stay in the prison for long.
Only Xue Ye knew the name of the warden, and even Xue Qinghe had no right to ask.
Xue Qinghe arranged: "Brother Qi Tian, follow me in, and the others will stay here."
The warden immediately questioned, "Your Highness, it is against the rules to bring outsiders into the prison."
Xue Qinghe chuckled and explained, "Qi Tian is originally an imperial earl. If he is not qualified to enter, then should I be stopped outside as well?"
The warden hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
The roads in the prison were bumpy and the lights were dim. If it weren't for the warden leading the way, Qi Tian and Xue Qinghe might have fallen several times.
After a brief inspection, Qi Tian roughly realized that this prison was completely "buried" underground.
"Your Highness, after our internal screening, we found that Wang Sheng is still alive."
It turned out that when Xue Xing captured the people, he only conducted a simple interrogation. After confirming that they were not the perpetrators, he stopped asking questions, and Wang Sheng and others were "abandoned" in the prison.
Fortunately, they did not suffer much physical harm. The only torture was not being able to see the sun.
Thanks to Wang Sheng, the three pigs were all cleared of their grievances.
The guards took them out of the cell and sent them to Xue Qinghe.
After being without sunlight for a long time, Wang Sheng and others' skin turned extremely pale and even their spirits were weak.
"Your Highness, the person has been brought here. Please return as soon as possible along the same route and do not disrupt the order here." The warden urged.
At this time, there was no joy on the faces of Wang Sheng and others. On the contrary, their expressions were extremely dull. Even when Qi Tian walked to his side, he did not recognize him.
Xue Qinghe patted Qi Tian's shoulder and said, "Brother Qi Tian, I have arranged a healing spirit master. Let's take the person out first. If there are other problems, we can think of a solution after the treatment."
Having studied medical books for such a long time, Qi Tian could of course see their symptoms.
Just a few days of sunshine and some psychological counseling will help you recover quickly.
…
A hotel in Tiandou City.
After bringing Wang Sheng and others here, Qi Tian separated from Xue Qinghe.
After being treated by a healing soul master, Wang Sheng and the other two are no longer in danger.
"Little monster, your old classmate is fine. He just needs to bask in the sun for a few days." Dugu Bo's medical skills are much better than Qi Tian's.
After taking the herbs he provided, the color gradually returned to the faces of Wang Sheng and the others. Their bodies were only a little weak, but they were still able to move normally.
Through this incident, Dugu Bo could also see that Qi Tian was a man who valued friendship and loyalty.
If it were an ordinary person, after becoming rich, he would rarely contact people from his former class, let alone save others.
"Thank you, old monster." After taking a long breath, Qi Tian continued, "But you should not meet them."
It was Dugu Bo who had captured them in the first place, and now he appeared in front of them again, which would bring back some bad memories.
Dugu Bo responded and left the hotel.
Qi Tian pushed open Wang Sheng's room and greeted him with a smile, "Wang Sheng, you are really lucky."
If it were someone else, if they were forgotten and there was no amnesty from the new emperor, they would probably be imprisoned for life.
"Qi Qitian, is it really you?" Wang Sheng sat up excitedly, expressing his gratitude continuously.
