When Hua Xun returned to the cell, an excited expression appeared on his face as he embraced Hua Qianlou, causing him to hastily move to the side in fright. He then asked with great doubt, ”Tang Niu, what are you doing?”

Tang Niu's face was full of excitement. ”Brother, you're practically my idol!” I didn't expect you to kill the hammer! ”

”So be it!” What is there to be surprised about? ” Hua Qianlou said indifferently before turning around and climbing onto the ice-cold bed.

In his mind, he kept thinking about how he could find the person holding the Hongmen Token in the ”death prison”.

The death prison was divided into the East Courtyard, the South Courtyard, the West Courtyard, the North Courtyard, and the Fourth Courtyard. The Eastern Courtyard's official name was Baldy, and one of his henchmen, Fan Wu Nang and Bones, had been killed on the very first day Hua Qian had arrived; the Southern Courtyard's official name was Old Daoist, who was not a Daoist but had frequently donned a Taoist robe on the outside of his prison uniform; the Western Courtyard's official name was Ghost King, who looked nothing like a human or a ghost, and the number one of his henchmen was called ”Vajra!” The reason why he was able to become the Head of the Northern Courtyard, was because he had a powerful general called Wuqing under his command.

Amongst the four factions, the Northern Courtyard had the least people. However, most of the people they recruited were elites. Therefore, although they had a small number of people, none of the gangs dared to look down on them.

After listening to his introduction, Hua Qianlou couldn't help but marvel at this kid's intelligence. Not even a day had passed since he entered the prison and yet he had already grasped the situation inside thoroughly.

In the death prison, if you are a person without help or faction, then your only ending is ”death!” When he heard that Tang Niu wanted him to join the gang, Hua Qianlou wanted to reject him. Later on, he thought that he might be able to borrow the gang's population to find out the whereabouts of the Hongmen Token.

What Hua Qianlou and Tang Niu didn't expect was that after Hua Qianlou killed the club, all the forces in the death prison started to stir up.

The next day, Hua Qianlou and Tang Niu were sent out to dig a ditch. There are many division of labor in the prison, miners, sand-diggers, hard labor, because the prison also has to income generation!

The mountain road that led to the back of the mountain was rather rugged, and the prison had already arranged for them to start filling the mountain road after a short period of time. In any case, these criminals wouldn't be raised in the country for nothing, so if they wanted to eat until they got their daily rice and buns, they would have to pay a little labour force to do so. The digging of the ditches was only a part of the construction of the road!

There were a total of thirty or so criminals who had been sent to dig the ditches. Sitting in two separate trucks, Hua Qianlou had not slept for the entire night. When he finally woke up, he couldn't help but start to doze off. Just as he was falling into a deep slumber, he suddenly felt a pair of hands stretching over him. All these years, the state of mind that he had formed over a long period of time made Hua Qianlou wake up abruptly. The condition was that his hands would suddenly change color and he would grab the wrist of that hand and use his strength to turn it over before letting out a cry of pain, ”Brother Zheng, it's me! It's me!”

”What are you trying to do, kid?” Hua QianXun asked Tang Niu coldly.

”Brother Zheng, we've fallen!”

”Oh! ”Big Brother Tang, I'm sorry, I just used too much strength.”

”Get off! Get out of the car! ”Faster!” As the guards shouted, they drove the criminals off the carriage one by one and gave each of them a shovel. Hua Qianlou looked at the things in his hands and shook his head helplessly. In the past, wherever he went, he would always be surrounded by the halo of light, but now, he had to use a shovel to dig a ditch. Sigh! I hope I can find the one with the medallion as soon as possible, so I can leave this damn place earlier.

The sun had risen and it was hot and sweaty. After the guards assigned their things to the prisoners, they all went into the shade to smoke and play cards.

Hua Qianlou's movements were rather awkward as he used a shovel to dig a ditch. He shrugged his shoulders and said, ”I'm not used to working like this for the first time, am I?”

”It's nothing, it's just a bit inconvenient to wear iron cuffs!”

The majority of the people in the death prison were all felons. Therefore, when they had an active mission, they would carry it out with handcuffs as well.

A prison guard holding a loudspeaker shouted, ”Before noon, we can't eat until we're at least a hundred meters deep!”

”Damn!” ”A hundred meters?” Tang Niu cursed under his breath.

There were a total of thirty people here, a hundred meters was all they needed, everyone had to dig up to three to four meters. Three to four meters in the morning was not the usual amount of work.

Food was the best thing for a prisoner, so when the guard finished his sentence, the 30-odd prisoners all busied themselves.

It wasn't that Hua QianXun didn't know how to dig, it was that he was unwilling to dig.
