The cell in front of me was dimly lit, with only a glimmer of light streaming in through a small window above. In the cell was a wooden bed covered with felt grass, and in the middle was a small table with a plate of peanuts and beans, a plate of pickled radish, and a sea bowl and a jar of old wine. Men of about forty sat cross-legged on the ground and poured themselves drinks.

Outside the cell door, there was still a small table with a plate of peanuts and beans, a plate of pickled radish, and a pot of old wine. A jailer sat on one side and boarded the prisoner through the door.

The prisoner drank a large bowl of wine freely, patted his chest and said: "I, Li Yulin, am a upright person and never do anything to deceive the world. Thinking back then, following the Eighth Prince, I did many heroic things, Li Yulin, I have never regretted it. By now, twenty years have passed. Yulin, I was strong in blood back then, but now I have entered the age of not being confused. ”

The jailer took a piece of pickled radish and said: "I said Li Ye, speaking of me Zhao San, what I do is just to make ends meet, Li Ye's personality, I still admire it." ”

Li Yulin tugged at the loose braid on the front of his neck and said, "Who says it's not." Yulin, I was born as a person of the Eighth Prince, and I died as a ghost of the Eighth Prince, but I am not like Xu Changyou, who is hypocritical and clever. Speaking of which, back then, the Eight Princes were proud, who didn't shade our Eight Princes' Mansion? But as soon as the wind changed, the fourth prince became the emperor, and this group of small people immediately shifted the direction of the wind and fell into the ground, can they be worthy of the kindness of the eighth prince to us back then? I really look down on this kind of person. For so many years, let alone let me betray my friends to seek glory, even if I fight for this old life, I have to rehabilitate the eighth prince. After saying that, he had to drink several more bowls of wine.

Jailer Zhao San said yes again and again, but the Shuntianfu 'Renzihao' prison is not easy to get out. Zhao San had the intention to rescue Li Yulin out, but outside the checkpoints, without the release token of the principal Xu Changyou, not a single fly could fly out.

Speaking of this, Li Yulin made another bold statement: "Brother, don't bother, although Yulin and I really want to get out of this prison, I can't joke with my brother's life." ”

Zhao San said: "Li Ye, this is strict, Zhao San is just a matter of losing his job, how can he compare with Li Ye?" Zhao San has never read a book, so he doesn't know how much truth he has, but Zhao San understands that Li Ye has proved one thing with twenty years in prison: friends have to make friends like Li Ye, who can live for friends and die for friends, a tough guy who is bright and bright. Zhao San, I Zhengping respect people like Li Ye the most, so I respect Li Ye with a bowl of wine. ”

Li Yulin was overjoyed by a little jailer, and he didn't expect that in this prison, there were also people who could be described as bosom friends. He raised his head and laughed, raised his bowl and said loudly: "I think Yulin is still at ease in the cell, there is no official robe on his body, and he does not need to wear the red and green hat on his head, and there is no public hatred and public grudge in the hall. ”

Although Zhao San didn't understand what the official robe meant, and he didn't understand who the red hat was talking about, he listened to his words very neatly, and thought to himself, a scholar is a scholar, and there are so many words for drinking.

The two of them touched the sea bowl through the cell door, and then poured it into their stomachs. Zhao San drank a bowl of wine, wiped his mouth with his hand, and shouted good wine. Li Yulin simply threw the sea bowl on the table and screamed happily. The two of them drank happily, but they heard a loud shout outside: "Brother Li, you have been imprisoned for more than 20 years, but your temperament is still so refreshing, I really admire Changyou." ”

As soon as he heard this voice, Zhao San hurriedly stood up and stepped back to the side to welcome the visit of his boss Xu Changyou. I saw Xu Changyou swaying slowly and leisurely, and walked into the cell with a spring breeze on his face. If you don't see it, as soon as you see Xu Changyou, Li Yulin kicked over the table, stood up and scolded angrily: "You watchdog who sells for glory, I think back then, if it wasn't for the Eighth Prince's words to save you, you would have been beheaded for killing Squire Zhu." But you're good, how can you repay the eighth prince? On the fold of falsely accusing the Eighth Prince of 'seeking the crime of seeking heaven', you were the first to sign. With this, you climbed to today's position, Li Yulin, I don't want to bear this infamy through the ages, so you will detain me here for 20 years. You sell your friends for glory and sell well! ”

was scolded by his friends in those years, Xu Changyou still held the Maitreya Buddha face and smiled: "After 20 years, Brother Li is still strong in the liver, if you want me to say, you should find the prison doctor in the prison to check Brother Li's pulse and drink some medicine to soothe the liver." ”

"Your grandmother has to take the pulse, Li Yulin, I don't need it. I only hope that one day, someone will avenge the eighth prince and kill you, a dog thief who betrays his lord for glory. If you can slash you, a dog thief, Li Yulin, I won't regret it! ”

was scolded by Li Yulin again and again, and Xu Changyou's patience was exhausted. In an instant, he changed his face, bared his teeth, stared, and his face turned purple. He didn't know what to do from his waist, but he saw a flash of cold light, and Li Yulin fell to the ground with a pop. Soon, bright red blood seeped out of Li Yulin's robe.

Xu Changyou shouted angrily: "Do you think you are still Li Yulin back then, the steward of the palace in the Eight Princes' Mansion? You're just a dog under me now, and if I want you to die three more, you won't be angry. I keep you to torture you, see how arrogant you are, I am a traitor seeking glory, see what you can do to me? ”

Li Yulin looked up to the sky and laughed, and pointed at Xu Changyou with a trembling right hand and said, "What a little person!" I'm just going to keep this life and see what happens to you. At that time, I will do your wish and dig out your heart to feed the dogs. I'm just worried that your heart is so black that you won't even eat dogs. ”

Xu Changyou was so angry that he was angry with Zhao San, and slapped him twice: "Sooner or later, I will unload your mouth, see if you are still drinking?" Open the door of the cell for me, and beat this rebellious prisoner with three hundred boards, until he faints. The board can't be light, and it can't beat people to death for me, I want him to see how I, a dog thief, climb the dragon and the phoenix, and go straight to the clouds. ”

Zhao San lowered his head and replied yes, but in private, he only glanced at Li Yulin. That means to say, Master Li, you just say a few words, fortunately, Zhao San and I will do it, replace it with someone else, three hundred boards, and Li Ye, can you live?

But Li Yulin is a straightforward person, he didn't pay attention to Zhao San's eyes at all, and still scolded people unrelentingly. Xu Changyou was about to be executed, Liu Xiaozi hurriedly walked into the cell, and said to Xu Changyou with a sullen head: "Master Xu, hurry back to the hall, Madam is here, what do you want to see if Master Xu is going to the kiln, or are you doing things in the hall seriously?" ”

Xu Changyou's face turned red, and he said to himself nervously: "Wow, the Hedong Lion is here, what can I do?" ”

Li Yulin naturally knew about the Hedong Lion, he looked at Xu Changyou with an embarrassed face, and laughed again: "Brother and sister are still very fierce, brother, you have to take good care of your ass." In the prison cell, you have to beat your brother's board, and when you go home, you have to accept your brother's board, good, good, good, this is what you deserve. ”

At this time, Xu Changyou didn't care about beating him, shrunk his head and peeked outside the prison door, and asked where Mrs. Liu Xiaozi was? Whether he guards the main door, if he guards the main door, he has no choice but to get out of the back door of the cell. In fact, it may not be impossible to go out this time, after all, Xu Changyou is doing things in the hall seriously, and he didn't go to the kiln? However, Xu Changyou was worried that his wife Song didn't come to the kiln, what if it was for that incident? Before I drank the rat soup, I got into a fishy body, no, no, thirty-six strategies, go for the best policy, or smear oil on both feet, and quickly slip away.

So, Xu Changyou asked Liu Xiaozi to guard the front door of the prison, fumbled to find the back door key, and crawled out with the diamond belt.

It is said that Xu Changyou's wife's surname is Song, and her mother's family has a single word. Originally, she was also the daughter of a wealthy family in the capital, and her family was quite rich. It's just that Song Ping looks a little sad, her fat body weighs 200 pounds, she has a black face, and she has a bold personality, and she likes to run a violent house from time to time, and the weak Xu Changyou can't bear it.

This Song Ping didn't see the master on the left or the right in the lobby of the cell, but she was in a hurry, and beat her chest in the lobby with a scolding scolding: "Grandma is a bear, a stinky man who died, and she wants me to be a widow!" I don't see my home for half a month, let alone my son, even if I have a daughter, I have to have seeds, is it possible that I am a woman who wants to have children by myself? ”

There are all the deacons in the lobby, and they have always seen and heard a lot about the investigation of the chief lady, and it is not strange to see a lot of such nonsense, but it is the first time they have heard such private words like today. These men are alive and well, and they want to laugh when they hear it, but they don't dare to laugh, so they can only hold back their faces and ears.

Seeing that the commotion was not like talking, Xiangyu, the dowry maid brought by Song Ping from her mother's house, dragged Song Ping's arm and whispered: "Miss, since my uncle is not here, let's go home first, don't let people look disrespectful." ”

Song Ping shook off Xiangyu's hand and scolded: "Respect a fart!" If you want to respect, don't do that disrespectful thing! The day before yesterday, the master told me that there was a demon fox behind me, and I would also find out this demon fox. Let's go, Xiangyu, let's go to East Street to find the master, and see who this demon fox is? Dare to be coquettish in front of my Hedong lion, see if I don't break her demon legs! ”

Xu Changyou hurriedly came out of the back door of the cell and hurriedly walked towards the back door of Lilac Garden. He had just rented a yard here, invited two little maids, and waited for Luo Qingsong to send Feixia to him. Feixia Feixia, he has been waiting for a long time, as the so-called is: the belt gradually widens and he will not regret it, and he will make people haggard for Yi.

The night is dark, but it is the time of candles in the cave room. In the Houyoumen alley, a delicate woman was carried in a small sedan chair, trembling and leisurely entering the door of the Lilac Garden. This night, for Xu Changyou, who has been in drought for a long time, it is just a pool of sweet rain poured down, hearty!
