Chapter 56: Prison Visits
Lu Li put aside Zhao Shu and walked a few steps quickly, touched the door and asked the messenger about the young man who came in the night four days ago.
"He was a delicate-looking, richly dressed young man, with a thin face and round eyes, about the same height as me...... I don't know if the big brother knows? ”
The messenger in the dark color official uniform did not speak, and directly spread his right hand towards Lu Li.
Lu Li understood after a moment, accepting bribes is too common, and immediately took out a few pieces of broken silver and sent them.
The messenger glanced at the broken silver in disgust and spat out a word, "Yes." ”
And then what? Lu Li waited for a long time without waiting for a follow-up, and then asked, and the man stretched out his hand again.
This is...... Don't have enough money?
Lu Li's eyes widened, although the silver he just gave was broken, but several pieces added up to two taels, it was worth such a word?
Of course, he is not short of money, but he feels that this person is a bit dark in asking for money, and he can't imagine it at all, and the darker ones are still to come......
Lu Li looked at the errand with a smile, knowing that he had no background, no backers, and no connections, and he couldn't deal with these people, so he came according to the rules, and directly took out a silver ingot and put it in the man's hand, "That young master is my friend, ask the big brother to be accommodating, and tell me about the situation." ”=
The messenger replied simply and simply, "I live in a single room, I am not punished, I have three fine meals, and I am living very well." ”
In the end, it is still useful for money, although this is not much, the content is quite rich, which shows that Shen Wansha is good in it and has not suffered.
Lu Li put a little snack and asked eagerly, "Can I go in to visit?" ”
The messenger's gaze swept over him, from top to bottom, and finally said two words, "No." ”
Lu Li was stunned.
When he was talking to the messenger, he also looked around without a trace, and after a little thought, he understood.
This is the outermost part of the prison, and there are many guards, but everyone does their own thing, and does not pay attention to others, and he inquires with this messenger for news, bribes, and does not avoid people, but others seem to not see it, to be exact, as if they are accustomed to it, and no one cares at all.
That's telling. You should be accustomed to silver money transactions here, and it is also a relatively large amount of silver money transactions.
Thinking about what Shen Wansha mentioned in the letter, he spent all the money on his body to win the postponement period, plus the opportunity to send the letter...... Shen Wansha is different from ordinary people, such as himself, he feels that he is enough to carry a few dozen taels of silver when he goes out, Shen Wansha is born rich and noble, and he never carries less than a thousand taels of silver on his body every time he goes out, but this thousand taels of silver can only be exchanged for such an opportunity, which shows that corruption in the government here is rampant, and it is filthy.
The government's handling of the case is also interesting, if Shen Wansha is found guilty, the investigation should be investigated and confessed, but Shen Wansha did not mention it in the letter, only used up the money, and he could win the opportunity to wait for help, does that mean that as long as there is more money, no matter what the truth is, he can come out of it?
This speculation made Lu Li a little frightened. He knew that Shen Wansha wouldn't kill anyone, but what about others? Is there once a lot of people who came out unharmed because they had a lot of money and killed people?
But at this moment, Shen Wansha is the most important. Lu Li suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and stuffed two silver ingots over, "Ask the big brother to tell me the truth......
He has a delicate appearance and a sincere and well-behaved smile, which makes a good impression, and the money he gives is enough, so the messenger is not embarrassed, and asks for the price directly, "Five hundred taels, you can go in and have a look." ”
"Five, five hundred taels?" The smile on Lu Li's face almost couldn't be hung up, how much did he want it!
The messenger glanced at him calmly, "As for the next thing, I have to see the official to discuss it, but I don't know." ”
This seems to be a reminder to inform ...... If you want to save people, don't be afraid of losing money, he only cares about the prison, and when the money is enough, he can let him see it, but if you want to get people out of prison, you have to negotiate the price with the people above.
Lu Li felt that his three views had been hit.
However, he was not short of money now, so he took out a silver ticket and stuffed it to the errand officer, "There is a big brother who has a bad time, but-" He pointed to Zhao Zhu, who was standing not far behind him, "He wants to go in with me." ”
The messenger looked at Zhao Zhu, who was majestic and a little fierce, "Yes." "There are not many people, no matter how powerful they are, it would be too long to dare to make trouble here.
"You wait here for a while, I'll arrange it." The messenger put away the silver ticket and turned and went into the prison gate.
Lu Li sighed and stood with Zhao Shu and waited.
Seeing that Zhao Shu frowned and didn't seem to understand why he was in love, Lu Li pouted helplessly, "It's too dark to ask for money, and it cost more than five hundred taels just to go in and take a look at Shen Wansha." ”
"It's just some money." Zhao Zhu didn't think there was anything to be sad about such a trivial matter.
"But we are not rich, and the focus is not on money, but on ......" Lu Li suddenly remembered that it was all his own subjective guess, maybe this is just an exception, Shangguan is not corrupt, maybe the conversation stopped, "Forget it." ”
He didn't speak, and Zhao Shu didn't ask, just put his big hand on the top of his hair and rubbed it, "There is me." ”
Lu Li knew that Zhao Shu was comforting him and reassuring him, so he cheered up and shook his fists and smiled back quite confidently, "Well, we will save Shen Wansha!" ”
A quarter of an hour later the messenger turned back, with a stocky jailer behind him, "You go in with him, two quarters of an hour at most, and you must come out." ”
"Thank you, big brother." Lu Li smiled at the messenger, grabbed Zhao Zhu and followed the jailer into the door.
The jailer walked very fast at first, but suddenly stopped moving at an unoccupied corner, saying that he wanted to rest. Lu Li understood in seconds, and immediately presented the broken silver, joking, with a calm and relaxed expression, and a straight back, who would believe it if he was tired!
Sure enough, as soon as he received the money, the jailer smiled, "Although I am a little tired, but you don't have much time, I will bear it, go this way-"
Lu Li rolled his eyes.
After walking a long way like this, and giving another round of silver, Lu Li saw Shen Wansha.
It is indeed a single cell, and there are no injuries on his body, and he looks better than others, but it is only better than others, far from the previous Shen Wansha...... Shen Wansha likes to dress up, likes glittering clothes, they are neat and dazzling at any time, and now his face is covered with gray from black to white, and his clothes are wrinkled and he can't see the original shape and color, very wolf.
Seeing Lu Li, Shen Wan stood up from the corner of the wall, rushed over and grabbed the doorpost tightly, looking at him with teary eyes and a sad face, and his voice was so pitiful and pitiful, "Little oak ......"
It's so poignant.
Lu Li strode over and held Shen Wansha's hand, "I'm here, I'll be able to rescue you soon, don't worry......"
"Mm-hmm......" Shen Wansha didn't really cry, but his eyes were very red, and his voice trembled a little with crying, "I knew you were the best, and you would definitely come to save me......"
The two of them were still tired, and Zhao Zhu said coolly, "Are you sure you want to waste time like this?" ”
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and his face changed stern, "What the hell is going on?" I don't know that you came across a dying corpse and were convicted of a crime. ”
"Am I unlucky...... Shen Wansha frowned, "That night I thought about taking a shortcut and passing through the alley on the side of a green building, and as soon as I was halfway there, I met that woman." The woman is very good-looking, and her makeup is very delicate, but the lipstick is a little flowery. She was undressed, she was wrapped in a light veil, so thin that she could barely cover anything, her neck and chest were bruised, there were several stab wounds in her lower abdomen, gurgling blood, and there was a blood-stained knife on the ground next to her. ”
"The woman is not dead, I swear she is not dead, her body is shaking, her eyes are rolling up, but her hands are struggling hard, as if she is begging for help, I can't bear it, so I went over to help, who knew that as soon as I helped, she died......"
Shen Wansha was still a little scared when she remembered the events of that day, "I knew that she would die, how could I never pass it, you don't know, little oak, my hand was pressed on her wound, and the hot blood gushed up, as if her body temperature and life were also lost." It's cold outside, her skin is cold, but her blood is so hot...... I really wanted to save her, especially to save her, she stopped rolling her eyes up before she died, and when she looked at me, I felt that she had a lot to say to me, but she only opened her mouth and didn't say anything...... and died. ”
"I was a little angry at the time, because looking at the woman's makeup, she should be a Qinglou girl, but the Qinglou girl is also a person, although the business she does is a little shameful, and she shouldn't be so humiliated and killed, in the winter, she doesn't even give people a piece of clothing to wear! I was so frightened and angry that I stood there for a while, and who knew that the messenger who was on patrol at night had also passed through that alley at that time, and saw me by such a coincidence. ”
Shen Wansha cried with a sad face, "I have the girl's blood on my hands, and the blood-stained dagger is not far from me, they immediately arrested me and put me in prison, saying that I was a murderer and asked me to confess." ”
"I don't want to admit what I haven't done, so I asked them to investigate thoroughly and give more evidence, but the people here reminded me openly and secretly that I can go out without finding out the results, but I have to give a lot of money." Shen Wansha's voice was a little excited, "Young master, the last thing I lack is money, since money can be solved, it's simple, I asked how much money I need, but they said they wanted 10,000 taels!" It's so dark! ”
Lu Li also gasped, "Ten thousand taels!" "How dare you speak......
Shen Wansha was a little aggrieved, "I'm playing outside, no matter how much money I bring, I won't bring 10,000 taels, so I will give them all the money on my body, let them be accommodating for a period of time, and write to you for you to come." ”
Speaking of this, Shen Wansha pulled off his neck, took off the gold bead that he had been wearing around his neck, handed it to Lu Li, approached him and whispered, "This is my identity certificate, you take it, go outside to Datong Money Village to pay 10,000 taels of silver tickets and redeem me." ”
Lu Li felt that this gold bead was a little hot, "Since you ......"
Shen Wansha pursed his lips, "The people here all want money, I want to give them the gold beads, maybe they take out more than 10,000 taels, I don't believe them." ”
Lu Li sighed and put away the golden beads, "Don't worry, I will rescue you tomorrow." ”
Shen Wansha's eyes lit up, "Well, I'm waiting for you!" Let's eat something delicious together! I know there's something really delicious......"
……
The two of them began to chat mentally, and Zhao Shu crossed his arms and looked at the dim lights in the passage, feeling that things would not be so simple.
The atmosphere here is weird, 10,000 taels...... Can you really get people out? Tricks
