Chapter 18 Imprisonment

The night in the capital in late October was cold, and everyone was escorted by officers and soldiers to the prison of the Criminal Department on foot. Li Yunbao www.biquge.info who wrote "Fun" Pavilion tightened the small quilt, during which she saw her cheap husband from a distance.

Although he has gone through great difficulties, he still stands tall and moves forward without humility or arrogance. They are all masters and gentlemen in the house, and the maids, servants, and servants are indeed not among them, and they don't know how they are disposed of, so it is estimated that they are also sold in one place.

Fortunately, it was a big night, and maybe it was because of the curfew, and there was no one on the street to make a cadre and others breathe a sigh of relief.

Entering through the side door of the criminal department, passing through the long sandwich passage through two doors, came to a school field, and then walked through the school field to a dark black copper-inlaid heavy wooden door and stopped, Li Yunbao looked around, the door was embedded in the middle of a large three-entry room, and there were two bright rooms next to it, and with the torches held high by the soldiers, she saw the word dungeon written on the door.

The first thing I saw after following the people in front of me was a hall, which was empty in front of the hall, and Li Yunbao did know that the empty place was a stone staircase extending underground.

The doors of the bright rooms on both sides were open, and in the room on the left there were only a few tables and chairs, and a row of plank beds, in which several male cell heads were now talking. The room on the right is the same setting, except that there are several female cell chiefs staying here.

After a moment of negotiation with the cell boss inside, the general in charge of escorting the gang asked the men and women to line up and stand again, with all the men on the left and all the women on the right, and then the free cell bosses took over and prepared to take them to the dungeon below.

After Li Yunbao stood still, he vaguely saw that the big man who had seized her in front was pulling a female cell head behind her back, muttering something, only to see the female cell head glance at him, and nodded at the big man, as if he knew something, and then the big man followed the sergeants and left in a hurry.

Descending the stone staircase to a dark hall lit by torches, in the center of the dark hall was a large brazier, and the walls around it were full of torture instruments, and on the left and right sides of the dark hall were placed in the middle of the stone staircase and the corridor of the cell.

"Mother, mother, my legs are weak, I am afraid, I want to go home. Woo woo woo woo ------ "There was a cry from the little girl in the big room Shen Biyu in front of her.

"Yo, the little girl is here, you don't want to go home with all your beards and tails, hahahaha" followed by a gloating male voice laughing, followed by a loud laugh from many male voices.

Li Yunbao followed the female dependents led by the head of the female cell to the corridor on the right side of the dungeon, and when he turned around, he saw that the men and boys over seven years old were walking towards the aisle on the left side of the dungeon.

The aisle was dark and deep, and all around was silent, only the low cursing of his own group was mixed with the cries of some female dependents. On either side of the aisle are cells closed by wooden pillars, with two braziers set up on the sides of the wall about every ten meters.

By the light of the fire, Li Yunbao saw that these cells were cold walls on three sides, only the side of the corridor was sealed by a wooden fence, there were no windows inside, and no ventilation holes were found, and the smell here was really unpleasant, and the eight rooms that he had just walked through were empty and empty, and then the front stopped.

As the cell door opened, the chain voice sounded a high-pitched female voice, "Alright." Ladies, grandmothers, and girls, go in, and don't let me invite you. Don't think you're the golden man, let's help, but be careful if your body can stand it. ”

Under the leadership of the old Duchess, everyone supported each other and entered one after another. Li Yunbao hugged An Ge'er and found a place to sit down, here is the corner on the right, both sides are walls because of the lack of light in the inside, and it is also far away from the gong bucket on the left wall. Although the taste of leaning against the wall is really bad, it is also greatly convenient for her to make some small movements from the space.

When I found a place to sit, I saw a female cell head come in with two female jailers: "I am the female cell head of the dungeon of this criminal department, you call me Ma Sanniang." As for me, I don't embarrass you, as long as you honestly hand over your hidden finances, I am a good talker, if it is Sister-in-law Lin who will take over tomorrow, I will have to let you take off your skin. ”

The woman who called herself Ma Sanniang had high cheekbones on her long face, a snarky face, and she looked a little fierce, and when Li Yunbao saw this person, she remembered that she was muttering to the big man just now.

The two female jailers behind Ma Sanniang saw that the cadres and others did not move, so they unceremoniously stepped forward and searched their bodies one by one.

"Let go of me, my father is from the first-class Guanglu doctor Liao Zhongze, if you treat me like this, you are not afraid of my father's sin and you." It was sister-in-law Liao Min who made a fuss there.

"Yo, it's a girl from Lord Liao's family. Then become our sisters, don't embarrass you, you just take off the dress on your body, I look at the material is good, and it can be worth a few dollars when you take it out. ”

The two didn't give her face, and went straight to start picking up clothes. Seeing this, everyone kept making small moves, and they were afraid that the property they had just saved with great difficulty would face the danger of being taken away, so they all started to hide it carefully, hoping that the other party would not find the money.

At this time, Ma Sanniang came to him, and Li Yunbao thought that his gold bracelet seemed to be unable to be kept. The hand that was about to pick up the bracelet was grabbed by Ma Sanniang, she gave herself a look and then made a gesture to touch Li Yunbao from head to toe.

Li Yunbao hurriedly said respectfully and flatteringly to Ma Sanniang: "You see that the concubine is young, the body is not very good, can this little quilt be left for the concubine?"

"Okay, for the sake of your cooperation, let's keep it."

Ma Sanniang deliberately said loudly at the Shen family's female dependents, "Your lady has a pretty good attitude, and she doesn't look down on us people." Well, I'll have you get two more bundles of straw later, and it's cold in this dungeon. Do you see, there will be your benefits with a little cooperation. After speaking, he sneered at everyone.

After the group was searched, Ma Sanniang led the two people away with a lot of money.

Li Yunbao hurriedly put down Brother An'er in front of him and said to him: "An'er, don't be afraid, my mother is here to accompany you, and I will tell you a story later, good."

"Doglegs, sycophants." Seeing that the talent was leaving, Shen Biyu opened her mouth and scolded.

"Yo, who was afraid of death or life just now, and his legs were weak?" Li Yunbao was not to be outdone.

"The third family, Jasper is still a child, how can you deal with her." Second Aunt Jia Furong spoke on the side.

"That's it, I don't look at how old you are, how old my jasper is, and you're embarrassed." Sister-in-law Liao Min helped.

"I can't blame my sister for this, she is like this, and she doesn't understand these things. Auntie and sister-in-law, don't be angry with your sister. Jia Meimei, the concubine on the side, came up to mend the knife.

"Alright, give me some pause. When is it all and what is the fuss? The Duchess opened her mouth weakly.

Seeing this, Li Yunbao is not good at thinking about it. Nima's, she Li Yunbao just said a word, you will attack it in groups, sister can't afford to provoke, you can always hide. Without continuing to argue with them, Li Yunbao sat back in the corner and prepared to put the child to sleep.

After a while, I saw a female jailer come in with two large bundles of dry straw and shouted, "The lady who held the child just now came here, and our third mother gave me the straw, you can come up and get it." The female jailer shouted, opened the door, threw the straw in, locked the door, and left.

Li Yunbao didn't say a word, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed two bundles of straw and dragged them to his corner, and the sister-in-law Liao Min over there opened her mouth in a weird way.

"Just two bundles of broken grass are worth when you are so active, for fear that one of us will rob you! Do you think everyone is as petty and uneducated as you, and this stingy character doesn't know who he looks like? It's also bitter that my good third brother married a mother-in-law like you. ”

Li Yunbao took a deep breath and comforted herself Don't be angry, don't be angry, she Liao Min is a brainless thing, it is the gun in the hand of the second aunt Jia Furong, pointing where to shoot. Don't look at their name Huan now, keep the pull list in the future. Hmph, what's wrong with the straw? It's a good thing in this cell, and without it, you're guaranteed to freeze to death at night.

Li Yunbao laid out the straw for An Ge'er to sit on, covered him with a small quilt on his lap, and then came to the side of the Duchess of Guo, who was leaning against the wooden pillar and closing her eyes to recuperate, and talked to her.

"Old lady, you are old, this dungeon is cold and damp, go and sleep on the straw pile, and recuperate. You are our backbone, but don't get sick. The old lady opened her eyes and stared at Li Yunbao for a long time before she muttered, "Bao girl, you are a good one." ”

Li Yunbao helped the old lady to the straw pile and sat down, and An Ge'er stepped forward to beat the old lady's leg and said to the old lady very sensibly.

"Old grandmother, don't be afraid, An'er's mother is so powerful and will protect us."

Listening to the child's milky comfort, the old lady's eyes moistened, thinking that she Xu Meizhi would be strong for a lifetime, and now she needs a little doll to comfort, she raised her head and tried not to let the tears fall, and after a while, she looked down at Brother An again, and gently stroked the child's head with her hand.

"Grandmother's brother An'er is a good child, you have to grow up well, can you protect your mother and grandmother in the future?"

"Well, old grandmother, don't worry, An'er will eat more and grow up quickly."

Li Yunbao looked at the joy of his ancestors and grandchildren, and was relieved to hear someone next to him hesitantly say, "Third brother and sister, see if you can, can you let Bichai and Brother Ye also make do with the straw, the child is still so young, do you think you can?"

Li Yunbao turned around and saw that it was her second sister-in-law, Sun Yuniang, who came to her with her two children. She thought about it for a moment and thought that she was usually not bad, although she would not help the original owner when she was in the house, but she would not fall into the trap of the original owner like others, and the most important thing was that she did not flatter Mrs. Jia.

This is a good thing for Li Yunbao, people are social animals, and it is good to have an ally who can talk in the future, so he agreed to let the two children sleep here.

"Second sister-in-law, you see that this place is not spacious, and the old lady and I and Brother An must also sleep on it. In this way, let the children sleep with a small quilt on the inside, An'er on the other, let Bichai sleep with Brother Ye on the other, I sleep outside with the old lady I am on Brother An'er's end, cover the narrow cloak at this end, the old lady and Bichai Brother Ye Ge'er on the end of the cloak wide end, you have to work hard, you can only sit on the grass bunk and watch Brother Ye and them, you can put on the cloak on the wall crooked legs can also be warm. Do you think that would work?"

Although he is looking for allies, he can't be bitter because he is fulfilling others, Li Yunbao thought.

"Okay, brother and sister, our mother touches your light, and we are all up to your arrangement."

Without further ado, everyone went to sleep according to the arrangement just now. On this day, from great joy to great sorrow, Li Yunbao has been worried for several days, and he has been busy for another day, so he fell asleep quickly.

This night, I don't know how many people fell from the clouds to the mud like their own family, and I don't know how many people tossed and turned and couldn't sleep peacefully, but all this has nothing to do with her Li Yunbao.
