Chapter 716: The Border of the Northern Kingdom

The family was reunited and continued north. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Scarface hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched. Can you still get this 1,000 taels of white flowers? Aren't you playing for nothing? The colder you go, the less crowded you get. Not only is the density of jackals, tigers and leopards getting bigger and bigger, but banditry is rampant. Maybe when a wave of bandits will come out, shouting, "If you want to live from here, stay and buy money." "That's it. Although he has kung fu, he can't beat the wolves. "The old grandson began to find a way back for himself. I didn't scream at all, and I didn't dare to hit anyone. One day, the family silently pondered how to escape. But the master said that he can't run yet, and he must personally escort Tie Yan to the prison city and hand it over clearly, otherwise Tie Yan will be a fugitive wanted by the imperial court, and he will be even more in trouble.

Scarface tried to escape, but before he could finish thinking about it, his head began to hurt. A headache is no fun, like an awl stabbing at the temple. The little nail also gave him a regret medicine to eat: "I told you not to go too far, his violation of the law will be dealt with by the court, let's just send it to the place with a small solution, we don't care what crime he committed?" He always said that he was wronged, if he was really wronged, people just didn't have a crime, in case he was screened in the future and said that there was no crime, then is it a sin for you to torture others? What do you do if someone gets promoted again? ”

"Why didn't you say it when the fuck was a long time ago?"

"Needless to say? A long conscience understands. Cheng Tian Ao Ye Aoye, his silver is so easy to take? Maybe if you can't get the money, you have to put your life in it and kill you. Anyway, after this trip, I quit and went home to farm. ”

"You're an afterthought."

"You're too black-hearted."

Arriving at the 28th station prison city in Heilongjiang, it took three months to walk, and it was needless to say that it was very hard to eat and sleep in the open along the way. Fortunately, if it had been the same situation as having just left Beijing, Tie Yan would have lived for a month at most before being tortured to death. He thanked Master from the bottom of his heart for his rescue, which he couldn't put into words!

The skills that Master taught Bing'er are unknown to anyone. Even Tie Yan and his wife don't know, they only know that Master and Bing'er have said something that others can't know, so why bother? Master always has his reasons for what he does.

Twenty-Eight Station Prison City is located in the northernmost mountainous area of Heilongjiang, and if you don't come here as a criminal, it is still a good place. The reckless primeval forest is endless, and the town at the foot of the mountain is twenty-eight stations. This 28 station originally had nothing to do with the prison city, and the 28 station was to send various orders of the imperial court to the border outposts. The reason for setting up a prison city here may be because it is too far away, and it is difficult for criminals to return to the capital alone, a distance of more than 3,000 miles.

The air here is exceptionally fresh, panting and cool, with the sweet smell of the mountains. If it is a certain amount of verdant mountains during spring and summer, Su Wenjuan and Bing'er like it very much. Bing'er can run, jump, and play without any constraints. Wen Juan didn't know what she could do by herself. Qing'er's attitude is that where the master is, his home is his home. This young man who has just grown up is honest and handsome, and often laughs to himself. Now you can teach Bing'er martial arts.

Tie Yan is going to live in the prison city, no matter whether he is wronged or not, he also came here as a criminal, and he will go to the prison city to serve his sentence. Instead of keeping criminals in prisons, the prison city here is similar to a labor camp, where criminals come and start working. Not to mention, there is really a bit of a taste like Lin Chong's distribution, there is a large forage field here, piled up with mountain-like forage, specially supplied to the forage for the army horses stationed at the border by the imperial court. There are trucks dedicated to delivering forage to the front line, and they are delivered every few days. It's all a matter for the inmates.

The new convict is led to the governor's chamber in the prison city by Xie Cha. After going through the handover formalities and giving the solution a receipt, it means that he can return to Beijing after completing the task. The rest of the matter is under the jurisdiction of the prison city from the Jiupin official criminal capital prison. The penal department has a sentence of eight years, which means that those sentenced to eight years of prison will work here for eight years. Tie Yan was charged with treason, and there was no sentence, in other words, life imprisonment. However, when the emperor meets the amnesty, there will be a period. If there is an amnesty order from the imperial court, then release it. In comparison, it is much more comfortable than the prison of the Criminal Department, but it also depends on what kind of person the "current manager" here is. If it's a cool official who bends the law for bribes, the criminals will be in dire straits.

When he came out of the capital, Prince Rui told Wenjuan through Yun'er that there was a person surnamed Hua in the prison city before, who had opened a teahouse in the capital and had a little friendship with the prince. That was still when the prince was injured in the escort and recuperated in Beijing to recover from his injuries, and the prince went around the street without anything to do, and by the way, he observed the people's feelings for the emperor. Therefore, the prince who is called "Fu Erye" has also become a frequent visitor to wine shops and teahouses. Take the guard Zhao Yong, that is, Tie Yan's father, around the street. Wine shops and teahouses are places where people talk about the world, and they are also places where news from all walks of life is transmitted. It was at this time that I met Chen Dabin, Yun'er's father, and the prince's father-in-law.

Let's talk about how to meet this surnamed Hua, he was the owner of this teahouse at the time, in his thirties, and he looked suave. He also noticed the prince, the eyes of business people are still very keen, and he feels that the person in front of him is magnificent, and he is definitely not an idle person, and he intends to make friends with the prince. He is the owner of the teahouse, but he does not take care of the guests, but chats with the guests here over a cup of tea, overlooking the street scene. At this time, the streets of the capital were also prosperous, with people coming and going. The Zhao guards beside the prince refused to sit down, and Mr. Hua knew that the young man who refused to sit down was the bodyguard of "Second Master Fu". Second Master Fu must be a person with status and status. found an opportunity to chat with the prince at a table, and the conversation was very speculative. The prince only said that he was an idle outsider, and his name was blessed. And Mr. Hua told the prince that he was the shopkeeper of this teahouse. Later, Mr. Hua's teahouse was killed and sentenced to death, if it wasn't for the prince to ask someone to explain it to Mr. Hua, he would have been beheaded after the autumn. Because the prince investigated the case, it was very simple, that is, two gentlemen snatched a Qinglou woman in order to compete for the wind, and they met in the teahouse and fought, and one died, and Mr. Hua was not next to him at all. However, the bitter master insisted that Hua had pulled the shelf, so that the deceased did not return the phone. He also made silver in the yamen, so that the shopkeeper of Hua was not "clicked" and sentenced to be allocated, and was exiled to the 28th station prison city in Heilongjiang. During this period, the prince returned to the battlefield, and the grievances of the shopkeeper Hua could not find anyone to help. Fortunately, life remained. He was grateful to "Fu Erye".

The newcomers who were sent to the old city had to eat ten sticks of "killing sticks". The purpose is to collect your money to extinguish your spirit, and this opportunity cannot be missed. The biggest chief here is from the criminal capital of Jiupin Prison, and he is pitiful with two little silver. If you come here and don't take the money, you will kill your majesty. Because there are not many ordinary people who come here, most of them are criminal officials, what kind of majesty is when he is an official, can he be convinced by the governor of Jiupin? Some people don't have no silver, so they won't give it to you, twenty taels is not much, so they won't give it, I was a third-grade member of the court before, you are a fart. If this is the case, he will be miserable, there is a way that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the county officials are not as good as the current management, kill your sharp spirit first, and you will not be able to remove the beaten skin after the fight. It may be crippled, and it will be called a "cane spine" without spanking and back, which will be enough to hit the joints of the lumbar spine. So later, everyone obediently paid twenty taels to avoid the pain of flesh and skin. But for all kinds of reasons, there is no money, and I can't afford to pay it, so I have to rely on my fate, and if I really want to be a high-level paraplegic, I will be guilty.

Tie Yan felt that there was nothing reluctant to pay the silver, there was always something like a bribe, and he felt awkward. With the emperor, he has also heard about criminal law. Such corruption and perversion of the law will not be ignored by the imperial court. Because many of the exiles are rebellious, it is not necessary to give a little suffering. In this way, the "killing stick" of the prison city has become reasonable and legitimate. The beating is all beaten, and the one who has handed over the silver is a passing scene, and there is nothing to do with the beating just by hearing the crackling sound. If you don't pay the money, you will pass the ghost gate, and if you have a big life, you will live, and if you are unlucky, you will become a paralyzed. Fortunately, the little nail still has a little compassion, and he handed over the silver for Tie Yan, of course, it was the silver taels of Tie Yan's father-in-law Sunahai, and he symbolically hit ten times, and he was assigned to occupy a place on the big kang of the criminals in the prison city to lie down and "recuperate".

After Scarface and Little Nail returned to Beijing after resting for two days, Qing'er began to inquire about Mr. Hua, whom Prince Rui knew. Qing'er didn't have much hope for this, but she was very grateful for the prince's care. If you think about it, you will know that Mr. Hua would have been out long ago if his sentence was three or five years. If you are forgetful, you can't help but admit that you know "Fu Erye" and refuse to take care of it. Most people have a "more is better than less" attitude. Don't look at Qing'er's very loyal appearance, his IQ is not low, he didn't directly ask the governor of the prison city, where Mr. Hua lived, in case this chief had a holiday with Mr. Hua, but he was looking for trouble. Fortunately, this place is not big, and I inquired slowly when I was free, the young master's "pass" had passed, and the silver handed over to the prison master was still Su Shangshu's "bribe" to solve the problem, and Scarface had not had time to bring it back to the capital to enjoy, so he obediently returned it to Tie Yan, otherwise his head hurts, and I don't know whose official is older.

This prison lord seemed to be kind, and took the money to casually inquire about Tie Yan's original position, and as soon as he heard that it was the imperial guard, he almost got under the table: Obedient! But you have to think about it, have a long front and back eyes, in case the emperor thinks of him, as soon as he is happy, come back, go back, he will be unlucky. Besides, he is the emperor's bodyguard, so he must be a master of Ouchi, can such a person be provoked? If you can't get it right, you can't even be from Jiupin. Don't look at the small rank, but the real Hui, maybe it's better than the emperor's food. There are many people who give gifts, and it is the emperor here. The "Killing Stick" is to be beaten, and it is necessary to see blood, but it does not hurt the muscles or bones, and it will be fine in a few days. In short, in Yun'er's words, this is a "cunning fox's cunning fox".

The prisoners in the same prison as Tie Yan are not dry meals, they were all headhunters or Jiangyang thieves before, and they were vicious. It's not the same as the criminal officer. Every time a new partner comes, you have to study it carefully: you can't bully, you can bully you ride under your crotch and become your slave, you can't bully him to become a bully, you will surrender in the future, it's really a thorn, then become a "friend", maybe you can use it in the future. I heard that the new one is a royal guard, and that's not easy. I don't know if it's true or not, I have the ability, give it a try. Of course, it's a good thing to be able to subdue it, and if you have a protective skin, you can make a friend if you can't. The arrival of Tie Yan made them excited for a long time, and it was not until they finished the "Killing Stick" and carried it to the big kang that their opportunity really came.

Among them is a big man surnamed Zhang, who is the leader of the prisoners here, and has always been ruthless in subduing the newcomers with a black heart. None of his accomplices are good either. A group of outlaws with a much higher IQ than the bandits. Tie Yan didn't expect this.

After the fatigue of the journey and the change of water and soil, Tie Yan just felt very sleepy. Although it wasn't a real beating, the skin on his buttocks and waist was also broken, bleeding, and it hurt slightly. He was lying on the kang and was about to sleep, when the "big brother Zhang" came, and pulled Tie Yan: "Hey, brother, you are so comfortable, you will sleep in vain when the kang is hot?" ”

Tie Yan's profession has developed a unique vigilant habit: "Oh? What did this big brother say? ”

"Have you handed over the firewood and silver for the kang?"

"Isn't there a lot of firewood here? Do you still need to buy it? ”

"Hey! There is a lot of firewood, all over the mountains, and someone has to pick it up, pick it up, and have to come back to burn it, right? ”

"Well said. When my injuries are healed, I'll do the work of collecting firewood. ”

"Well, the whole mallet, I don't understand anything! It's easy to do if you don't understand, big brother will teach you! As he spoke, he got on the kang and wanted to ride on the violent beating, and then theorize when he was done. Tie Yan knew that it was not good when he saw him on the kang, although his strength was insufficient, his mind was still very sharp, and he rolled on the spot and dodged away from the big man. The big man didn't guard against his move, and suddenly stabbed himself on the kang mat, knocking it enough. That one is so angry, he actually came here! Wait!

I don't know if it was the master who was helping in secret or by coincidence, a man in his forties came in outside, quite scored, put his hands behind his back, and coughed: "Brother Zhang, what are you doing here?" People just came, and there are still injuries on their bodies, so it's not a bit righteous to teach people a lesson, right? Take advantage of people's danger. ”

"Yo, Mr. Hua! What kind of wind do you always ride to? You may be seated! It seems that the person surnamed Zhang is both respectful and a little ridiculous to the people who come.

"What wind? Northwest wind! There is also a northwesterly wind this season. Mr. Hua was also teasing. There is some sentimentality in the ridicule. Yes, this is the northernmost place on the map of the Qing Dynasty, what else can there be besides the unique northwest wind in winter? He heard that there was a new person coming, take a look.

This Mr. Hua is the Mr. Hua that the prince said. Tie Yan also heard his father say that he knew a Mr. Hua, and he listened to Wen Juan's introduction many times along the way to find Mr. Hua, but Tie Yan didn't know him, and he didn't know if this was the one the prince said. Mr. Hua's sentence has been over for several years, but he doesn't want to go back to Beijing. So I married a local woman here and lived an idyllic life of a man farming and a woman weaving. He had a good personal relationship with the prison here, and although he was not in the prison city, he often came and went. Because he is a scholar and has some chivalrous heart, he is very popular here. The Prison Master often asked him to draft some official documents for reporting, and he was also very helpful, so that he became a frequent visitor to the prison city, and he came and went very casually.
