Chapter 20: Sins are unforgivable

The prison of Jincheng was built in the north of the city.

The empty street is dark and cold due to the lack of direct sunlight.

In the cold wind of whimpering, the third aunt's slender figure suddenly appeared around the corner, her steps were thin and tight, and her charming face was plain and light. A black curtain with silver trim covers the bewitching body under the skirt. It seems that there is a lack of waiting, and the beautiful jade and jade beads look a little out of tune.

Behind the third aunt, Cui'er chased after her with two baskets. She struggled to carry the basket, her brows furrowed slightly, and fine beads of sweat leaked from her forehead.

"Official, please make it easier. It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and my grandfather hasn't eaten New Year's dumplings yet! ”

The third aunt squinted and smiled, and took out a stack of silver tickets from her sleeve without hurrying. Seeing that the eyes of the prison guards lit up, he hurriedly stuffed it into the man's arms, "Give a few officials wine money, and a few bowls of dumplings, let's eat some together!" After speaking, the third aunt took a basket from Cui'er's hand and gently put it on the table.

The man waved his hand, pretending to be indifferent, and continued to drink wine with a few officials.

The arrogant contempt made the third aunt extremely uncomfortable. She forced a smile and retreated, and the moment she turned around, her beautiful eyes immediately changed to indifferent anger. The lotus foot stepped on the hard and uneven stone slab, and the small steps hurried through the chaotic wailing, and finally saw the proud figure of Jin Chi in the deepest part.

"Master......!"

The third aunt couldn't help but tears flowed down her eyes, and the moment she saw Jin Chi, her heart that had been ups and downs landed steadily.

"Master, hurry, eat dumplings while they're hot!" The third aunt stretched out her tender white hand to hurriedly wipe away her tears, and after stabilizing her mood, she hurriedly took the basket in Cui'er's hand, "This is your favorite mutton stuffed dumpling!" ”

The large white porcelain bowl inlaid with blue flowers is about to come out, and the dumplings in the bowl are densely packed together like lubricated white jade jade, and a hill is piled up. Jin Chi opened his mouth and looked stunned, still remembering the cold soup and dry cakes last night, and his heart was panicked when he ate it. With a trembling hand, he reached out and took the steaming dumplings and devoured them.

This is the most fragrant New Year's dinner he has ever eaten, and it is also the most sloppy New Year's dinner!

"Curtain beads, you...... Lose weight! ”

Since Lin Yibin's death, Jin Chi has raised her third aunt in the house like a canary, and has never let her suffer a trace or shed a single tear. He transferred all his tenderness to the third aunt and took care of him. At this time, an inexplicable feeling of powerlessness was blocked in the chest. All the burdens were pressed on this weak shoulders day and night. "You've worked hard these days!"

The rough palms of the hands cut across the face like dry branches, and the oil-stained thumbs wiped the tear stains, leaving a gray stain on the white skin.

The third aunt's eyes fluttered, and she felt the warmth brought by these big hands with tenderness. She needed a broad shoulder to lean on so suddenly, that it fell from the sky before she was ready. Heaven arranged everything, but did not give her the slightest hint.

"Master, you have been wronged here for a few days, and I will find a way to find Bai Shuyuan's handle as soon as possible. Let him sit here and apologize for you! The third aunt put away her tears, and her eyes showed unprecedented firmness. The man in front of her made her regain her courage, no matter how many hardships and dangers lie ahead, as long as she is recognized by him, everything is worth it!

"Report ——!"

The long report tore through the noisy discussion in Xicheng. The people around the altar turned their heads sideways and made way to watch the messenger officers and soldiers bend down and dismount, holding a jade plaque high and hurriedly running to the altar.

"Boom! Knock knock! Knock knock knock! ……”

The hour had passed, and the drummer had a red silk scarf tied on his head, tightened his cuffs, and beat the drum vigorously. Then, on either side of the one-man tall drum, eight slightly smaller red drums sounded one after another. The annual festival is a grand event, and every city in the country does the same thing every hour.

The drums shook the sky, and people's hearts instantly calmed down, and they involuntarily jumped with the beat of the drums. In this solemn atmosphere, the people of Li knelt on the ground one after another, raised their heads in the face of the scorching sun and prayed to God to grant a peaceful year.

The sign-bearer got down on one knee. At this moment, he said no, he didn't say no. He raised his head cautiously, glanced at Li Zhidi in embarrassment, gritted his teeth and said the urgent news loudly. The faint words passed through the drums and reached everyone's ears, this year, it was really difficult to be peaceful!

“…… The wine cellar caught fire ......, and three boxes of copper guns ......"

Just a few words, the faces of the people in the front row changed dramatically. They don't care about any fires, they only care about whether the next year's harvest can be used to cover taxes, and whether they can fill their wives and children.

An hour later, the sun was shining high, and the drums were beating down.

Li Zhidi glared back with a cold face, and the indescribable meaning suddenly entered the eyes of Bai Shuyuan and Du Laoqi. It seems to be angry, it seems to be mocking. I saw Li Zhidi flick his long sleeves heavily, and said sharply: "I will make a decision on this matter when I go home!" After speaking, he took the jade plate handed over by the messenger and was about to lift the curtain and enter the sedan chair.

"Li Guanren! Aren't you going to let everyone know about such an important matter? Jian Feng returned to the tree and glanced at Linlang with a meaningful smile, just in time to uncover what had happened before. The wine cellar of Du Laoqi's house caught fire, and three boxes of firearms were also burned inside! Should he also be sentenced to prison for arms trafficking? ”

"Humph! The official decided the case, and it was not the turn of the country wild man to intervene! ”

Linlang did not change her color under Jian Feng's gaze, this matter was indeed arranged by her, she was not for Jinchi, but for the memories of her childhood. Fang Yan went back, and left after doing all this. Linlang was vaguely a little lost, if it wasn't for Fang Yan's appearance yesterday, she might have died in Huangquan.

"Master Li, Du Laoqi is guilty of the same crime as Jin Chi, and you will put Jin Chi in prison without saying a word. This same thing fell on Du Laoqi, why did it drag on? ”

Li Zhidi slowly turned around and looked at Linlang who was speaking. A pair of narrow eyes burst out with a chill, "Little girl! You haven't figured it out yet! Can't wait to come out and die now? Escort her to me, and interrogate her at the right time today! ”

Jian Feng looked at the tied Linlang and shook his head helplessly, and sighed and came to the jungle in Xiqiu.

"Brother Fang, long time no see! You young sect master, you have to hurry up! ”

On the west hill, Fang Yan saw everything that happened on the altar. When Linlang was escorted, he wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Jianfeng. "Jianfeng? It turned out to be you! Yan Yefeng, the dignified leader of the East Nine Alliance, actually changed his name to Jian Feng and became Jin Rui's personal bodyguard, which is really condescending! ”

No wonder no matter how much you ask, you can't find this person Jianfeng! Linlang is really stupid, so I don't want to think that people may use fake names!

"Where, where! Everyone has their own aspirations, and I don't think Jin Rui is a thing in the pool! If the Jin family is finished this time, I plan to take him to the East Nine League. Yan Yefeng did not shy away from his purpose, but ridiculed Fang Yan. It's your sister, stupid to death and smart. You can't do anything with Yu Linlang as a backer, but you want to make trouble for yourself! Hey! This man, you need to turn your brains more! ”

"Didn't Lord Yan also say it just now? Horses of courses! Fang Yan threw the topic back unhurriedly, "Besides, I don't think it's trouble, isn't this the same reason as the Yan League's master training Jin Rui?" ”

Yan Yefeng was speechless suddenly, and if he continued to deny it, he would reach out and slap himself in the face. "Let's go back! Let them toss the affairs of the Jin family by themselves! After thinking about it, Yan Yefeng smiled slyly, "Well, your sister looks good!" Maybe I'll save her life at a critical time, and don't forget to repay my favor when the time comes! ”

"If you dare to make a wrong decision, Yu Linlang will not let you go!" After all, Fang Yan did not reach Yan Yefeng's status, although he was of the same age, his experience was far inferior to Yan Yefeng. Linlang asked him to set fire to the Du family's wine warehouse this time, although he could maneuver for a while, but he also tried to win in danger, if he was used by others......

Jincheng Prefecture.

Li Zhidi sat in the Taishi chair with a cold face, and in the quiet room, Bai Shuyuan looked at the county Taishou who was in a dilemma in front of him with a smile.

"How? Master Li, all you need to do is sign here and put your big seal on it. There is no one in this golden city who will go against you anymore! Bai Shuyuan stretched out his fingers and tapped on the table, with a sinister smile, and pushed a thick fold to Li Zhidi, "Didn't Jin Chi swallow the Lin family like this at the beginning?" Now it's just a matter of bothering Master Li to make a seal! ”

Li Zhidi knew that the four families were dominant at the beginning, and they were all in the same spirit, so he didn't even take him as the county guard. When I promised Jinchi, I also wanted to stir up the relationship between several families and get some benefits from it. He really thought well at the time, and successfully divided the Jin, Bai, and Du families, forcing the latter two to unite against the Jin family. It's just that he didn't expect that Bai Shuyuan, a person who seems to be polite and polite, has a raging ambition, and after designing to get rid of Jin Chi, he fell into the well and wanted to get rid of Du Laoqi together.

"Have you thought about it?"

Bai Shuyuan unhurriedly took out a musket glowing with cold light from his arms, and pressed Li Zhidi's hand on the fold.
