Chapter 308: Let's Talk
He, or rather, them..."
With Feng Le's thoughts, his thoughts gradually flew to the death row of the Xuzhou Yamen.
At this time, a middle-aged man who was only about twenty-seven or eighteen years old was sitting on death row in a daze.
The man was wearing a set of gray linen death row clothes, but the fabric of the clothes was whipped to shreds, and the bloodstains stained the unclean clothes. Coupled with the multiple burns on the chest from the soldering iron, it looks touching and sad.
This person's surname is Shen, his name is Yanping, and he is from Xuzhou. It is said that he was a thief who was arrested because he was reported for a crash. The scars on his body were caused by the interrogation of the government yamen.
Although the interrogation was very cruel, the people in the yamen were stunned and couldn't ask anything useful from Shen Yanping's mouth, and they couldn't even find evidence of whether he was a thief.
However, in line with the principle of "it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than one", the imperial court sentenced Shen Yanping to the punishment of "Ling Chi". In order to obtain the effect of "killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys" in Xuzhou City, and suppress those "Diao people" in the city who want to join the anti-thief rebellion.
Due to the continuous calls for the bandit army to attack outside the city, it can be said that "everyone is in danger" in Xuzhou today. For the sake of unnecessary trouble, Feng Le never dared to talk to Shen Yanping more.
Piaoxianglou's song tonight was actually sung softly by Shen Yanping, who was detained alone on death row, when Feng Le was on night duty.
Feng Le listened to this song relatively novel, and the tune was okay, so he quietly wrote it down.
Since Shen Yanping was not asked what was tortured, Feng Le estimated that he was wronged and a thief because he had offended. After all, Feng Le, who has been in prison all the year round, is not surprised by this kind of thing, so Feng Le naturally thinks that the song he sings is nothing.
But now that he listened to the artistic conception sung by Yan Hongzang, and through the understanding of the words described by the lyrics of the many scholars in the hall, Feng Le was a little scared in his heart.
If it weren't for Jia Wenyi's pressing, where would Feng Le think about coming out with this song? And Feng Le just wanted to take it out and plug Jia Wenyi's mouth, but he didn't think that it would come out on top.
"It's terrible. If it is really according to what they say, this Shen Yanping and may be a thief, I will sing his song now, which means that a hundred heads are not enough to cut off. Feng Le thought with a lot of trouble in his heart.
Others don't know the meaning of this song, but he still doesn't know? Judging from the artistic conception sung by this song, this Shen Yanping will definitely not be "wronged".
However, this song made Feng Le scared at the same time, but also interested in Shen Yanping.
"Are the thieves really like what the government said, they are all evil ghosts who have no feelings and only burn and loot everywhere?" Feng Le subconsciously asked himself.
If so, why did they sing such a touching song? Makes people's hearts calm for a long time? ”
“… There isn't much time, and everyone knows it's a difficult road. There will always be people who will carry this burden, and move forward without regret or complaint..."
“… When I was a teenager, I spilled my blood for my dreams..."
“… I never said goodbye, and in the blink of an eye, year after year, I was concerned about the blood connection, and the beacon fire was lit to go to the national disaster together..."
At this moment, Feng Le seemed to hear Yan Hongzang's singing ringing in his ears again, and it didn't go away for a long time.
"Rebellion, this is not only a difficult road, this is simply a dead end, what makes you have no regrets and no complaints? Can you really be brave? ”
Feng Le's mind once again resurfaced Shen Yanping's appearance. The bloodstains on the clothes of a crippled and tattered death row prisoner, and his pale face, looked so weak and powerless.
"It's clear that you're going to lose your life when you're so young, and you're talking about 'spilling blood for your dreams'." Isn't it all caused by you thieves? Feng Le said with a heart-wrenching thought.
However, when Feng Le was sad for Shen Yanping, he didn't notice that in fact, a strange emotion had quietly appeared in his heart that was involved in him, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
"Brother Feng, what's wrong with you?" Wang Li looked at Feng Le's strange appearance and couldn't help asking.
"Oh! It's okay. Feng Le, who came back to his senses, hurriedly replied.
"Brother Wang, Jiang Wei, I have to go back to work at night in a while, so I won't accompany the two brothers, I'll settle the list first, and you two eat slowly." Feng Leyou stood up from his seat and said to the two people at the dinner table.
"Brother Lao Feng has broken the bank, and business matters." Wang Li also got up and hugged his fists at Feng Le and replied.
"Brother Feng is polite, let's go ahead of time!" Jiang Wei also replied.
"Okay..."Feng Le nodded, so he beckoned the shopkeeper to come over and settle the bill.
"Feng Gongzi, that's right. Since your song tonight is very good, the shopkeeper's decision is to exempt you from tonight's order. At the same time, Master Yan and Miss Crimson asked me to come and invite you to a banquet in the private room, I don't know what the prince thinks? The shopkeeper said to Feng Le after coming over.
"I'm sorry, little second brother. I have to go back to the yamen for the night in a while, so I won't go to the banquet between Master Yan and the red girl. Please say sorry to the shopkeeper, Master Yan, and Crimson for me. Feng Le hugged his fist to the shopkeeper and said.
Actually, Feng Le didn't know what was wrong with him. If he could get an invitation from the Crimson Girl in normal times, Feng Le would probably be crazy with joy. But now Feng Le just wanted to go back to see Shen Yanping and talk to him.
"Okay, Childe wait for me for a while. I'll bring you Childe's first silver tonight. "Hearing this, it's not good for the shopkeeper to keep more.
"That's okay, in addition, please ask the second brother to pack a roast chicken and a pot of wine for me. I need to bring it back to the yamen for supper. Feng Le said.
"Okay." The shopkeeper replied and turned to leave.
…
After a cup of tea, when Feng Le saw the shopkeeper coming over again, he came over with a packaged roast chicken and a small jar of wine in his hand.
At the same time, the shopkeeper also handed Feng Le a silver ingot and said, "Feng Gongzi, this is the prize you won the first prize tonight." It was five taels of silver. ”
"So much?" Feng Le asked in disbelief. This is all in line with Feng Le's three months of silver.
"Originally, there weren't so many, but Master Yan and Miss Crimson decided to make up so much for you in order to thank you for the good songs you brought." Dian Xiaoer explained.
"Oh..."Feng Le was relieved after hearing this.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Yan Hongzang's singing voice was "accompanied" in his ears. Feng Le can be said to be walking like a fly back to the yamen.
Tonight, there are so many differences. Feng Le decided that he had to talk to Shen Yanping, otherwise he felt that his heart would be uneasy for the rest of his life.
