85_85279 I pretended to be calm and walked out of the door, "A few officials, why did you move such a big battle?" ”

The Imperial Forest Army led by me looked at me, "Are you Helian Yi?" ”

I'm in a mess, my heart is empty, Helianyi, how can I be Helianyi? I've been incognito for three years, how would they know that I was Helianyi? Yueniang stared at me suspiciously, her cold lips stirred up and down, but she didn't ask anything, the leader smiled slightly, "It seems that it is, come with us." ”

As I spoke, two people grabbed my left and right arms together, and I turned around and glanced at Yueniang with difficulty, hoping that she would understand what I meant and go to inform Daiqin that something had happened to them. Yueniang's brows were tightly locked, and she couldn't see her love. I had no choice but to walk outside. It's not like I've never been to the prison of the Criminal Department, but this is the first time I've been escorted into a cell like this.

"Official, dare to ask me what crime I have committed?" I asked the Guards as they were about to turn away.

He turned around and crooked the corners of his mouth and smiled disdainfully, "No wonder in the past, our Imperial Forest Army was always pressed by the people of the Jinyi Guard, you are really cunning, you are all at this time, and you still ask yourself what crime you have committed." ”

As he spoke, he walked out slowly. I felt a little comforted in my heart, it seemed that my identity was revealed, and listening to their words, arresting me in had nothing to do with me harboring Daiqin.

The cell was a dungeon, very dark and obscure, and it was late at night, and it was even more cold and damp, and I looked into the cell, and there was a pile of wet thatch on the ground, which was considered a couch, and I walked over and sat down on my knees, thinking carefully about who had revealed my identity, and thinking about it, but to no avail. I heard a squeak, but I saw a big rat in the corner of the wall looking at me with a fierce look. As the saying goes, the tiger was bullied by dogs in Pingyang, and I was bullied by rats in the cell. It's just that I can't see that the prisoners in this cell are all yellow and thin, like walking corpses, and the rats raised are so fat. Sure enough, as soon as the person's fortune was low, the Ah Wu around him became arrogant.

In the opposite cell was a bad old man with white hair, who looked dirty and smelly, and since I came in, he had been looking at me coldly, and when he saw me kicking the rat with his foot, he let out two laughs. ”

"These rats are all weird, but they are not like the fools outside, they hold grudges!" The old man's voice was old and hoarse, as if it had come from hell.

I squeezed out a stiff smile, "Rats hold grudges? This is unheard of. ”

"Look at that rat, why is it so strong? The people in this cell still don't have enough to eat, where can they eat? ”

"And what do they eat?"

"The plague in this cell is a normal thing, and these rats are eating the flesh of people, so that they are not afraid of people at all. Your cell died yesterday and was named Wang Da, and when he was alive, he always yelled at these rats, and chased and kicked them twice from time to time, so when he found his body this morning, even his face was gnawed! Do you think these rats hold grudges? ”

The old man's voice was still eerie, but I couldn't help but let out a "ah", and before I knew that the rat was not afraid of people and had crawled to my feet, I grabbed a handful of thatch and drove it away. It wasn't until the rat slipped away that I remembered to be afraid.

The old man on the other side had been closed for a long time, and there was nothing new to see, and he laughed when he saw my scared look, "I'll get used to it soon." ”

For a moment I felt uneasy, as if the floor of this cell was littered with the flesh of the old man's mouth that had been devoured. In the past, we dragged people into this cell, when did you think that you have today?! Now that I am in prison, I have thought that the people I have been arrested and put in prison, in addition to those who died of torture, are there any people who are the same as the old man said? When I think of this, I feel that there is indeed a cycle of cause and effect, is my current situation all retribution?

But what people have said is reasonable, and after two days of living here, I will get used to it, and I will no longer stand against the wall with my shoulders crossed in the middle of the night, not daring to sleep or close my eyes. At first, I couldn't swallow a mouthful of prison food, but I ate the flavor because of the unbearable hunger. It's just been a few days in a row, and no one has come to ask me out for questioning, which makes me really irritable.

"Hey! Girl! Seeing that you are quiet, what can you do to be dragged here? The old man on the other side said a few words to me from time to time, and finally relieved my worries, "This cell is all one room and one person, and all the prisoners are condemned. The old man, I accidentally killed the puffy who was being violent against my daughter, and I was escorted here to wait for the autumn queen to be beheaded, and it has been fourteen years of waiting......" The old man squinted his eyes, recalling the distant past.

I replied lightly, "Oh." I killed my husband. ”

"Huh?! You have the guts. The old man was taken aback, "What is the matter?" ”

"Stealing people."

The old man was still shaking his head and sighing at a pity, "The young girl is so great that she wants a letter of resignation, and the two of them are scattered, why do you want to put yourself in for a while?" Oops, you have children and don't ......."

But I thought in my heart that this was actually a place for death row prisoners. After the old man was sentenced, he waited for the execution to be carried out, but he waited for 14 years and was still here. Since Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor of the dynasty, in order to sit firmly in the country, he has been very diligent, and he has to go through all the cases of the whole country one by one, but he is only in charge of death penalty cases, and when the states and counties encounter death penalty cases, they only have the power to sentence but not the right to execute, and they need to submit the cases to the court layer by layer and send them to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk, how many death penalty cases are there in the country? Too many to count. Those case files were piled up on his case, and after reviewing and reading them, he would pick up a red pen and approve the execution on the case file. Only the case files approved by him can be executed. Sometimes there are too many cases, and there will be a situation where the approval has not been approved for a long time. In order to save his life, the family bought off the officials layer by layer, and bought the deacon eunuch next to Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as the eunuch found the person's case file, and when he cleaned the Taiwan case every day, he pressed the case file to the bottom, Zhu Yuanzhang never approved him, he could escape year after year, and then encounter an amnesty, then the merit will be complete.

I looked at the old man in front of me, I couldn't imagine that he was a rich man, someone in the family bought the relationship for him, I thought it was a shit luck and handed over to Zhu Yuanzhang's case to his case file, and it is unknown which hairy eunuch lost it, so it had to be delayed like this for 14 years.

Until the fifth day, no one came to interrogate me, but Yueniang came, and the person who came with Yueniang was Xu Huizu! The prison officer took the silver ticket stuffed by Yueniang and withdrew, Yueniang stepped forward and held me through the railing, and her eyes were red first. I think she already knew why I was arrested, thinking that I had deceived her true identity for three years, I was quite a little uncomfortable, and I became embarrassed for a while. Yueniang shrugged her nose and said, "That...... Caiwen, Xu Gongzi has sued me, I can't imagine that we spend a lot of buildings to be like this. But my mother is not the ruthless prostitute, we have been together for three years, although you call me mother, we are sisters. My Yueniang admires smart people the most, you are a smart person, but you are never publicized, I treat you as a sister, and I always want to fulfill my reputation for being affectionate and righteous. No matter who you are, I only recognize you as An Caiwen, and I spend a lot of money raising my daughter who doesn't pick up customers. Don't worry, Mom will try to save you. ”

I was moved by Yueniang's words, and I didn't expect that it was a brothel bustard who would help me at all costs. Xu Huizu was also a little promised, and said to Yueniang, "In the past, Huizu smiled at Sister Yue, and in the future, he should be impressed!" ”

Yueniang's face was a little unruly, "Xu Gongzi's words will bury my Yueniang." ”

As she spoke, she withdrew her hand and gave up her position to Xu Huizu, Xu Huizu leaned over and whispered, "I have asked everyone to ask clearly, someone has secretly reported your identity, and the Criminal Department has a secret organization that specializes in arresting the old Jinyi Guard, and if it is caught, it will be questioned and beheaded within a month, and it will not be interrogated or reported." Everything is done cleanly, leaving no trace. You're not going to be able to do this well. ”

Yueniang was anxious when she heard this, "Then are we here to send Caiwen to the end?!" Since we don't interrogate and don't report, we spent a lot of money to buy off the Criminal Department, can't we redeem Caiwen? ”

Xu Huizu smiled bitterly, "No matter what kind of girl you have in the Qinglou, there is a price, as long as the gold owner is strong, you can always hold the beauty." The criminal department is not opened by my family, and the bribery is exposed, which is a big crime of the Jiu clan, and no one dares to mess around. ”

Yueniang burst into tears all of a sudden, "Then aren't we already stepping on half a leg in the coffin?" ”

"Unless someone older than the Criminal Department orders the release." Xu Huizu said for a long time.

"Apart from the emperor, who can be bigger than the criminal department?" Yueniang said annoyedly.

Xu Huizu scratched his head and secretly glanced at me again, "In addition to the emperor, there are ...... And ......"

"Anyone else, as long as it's a person, I will either bribe with money or lure a girl, I dare say that there is no one I can't take."

"And the princes of all stripes...... But the power of the princes is also big and small, unless ......"

"Don't say it. I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and after so many years of worrying, it's over. I interrupted Xu Huizu's words, Xu Huizu knew my character and didn't dare to say more, but Yueniang didn't die until the heart of the Yellow River, "Which prince has this power?" The king? King Ning? King of Shu? Or is there still King Yan? Yes, yes, Yan Wang, Yan Wang! He is now the head of all kings, and he has the most prosperous military achievements, and when he reaches the king of Yan, we will be saved! But he is in Beiping, and when we rush to it, we will spend time and stutter, and Caiwen will already be on the ground. ”。
