The gloomy corridor, lined with arm-thick log fences, in the dark cell, several skinny figures, hiding in the corner of this room, if it weren't for the sparkling eyes, Xu Xuan really wanted to wonder if these people were still alive.

In contrast, the pungent musty smell from the shop, Xu Xuan felt not so uncomfortable, he followed the errand and walked along the road for a long time, only to come to a hut, only to see a dilapidated table in it, a small bed in it, and a quilt on it. An errand servant was sitting at the table with his clothes open, revealing his somewhat fat upper body, holding a bowl of wine in his hand, and drank it in one gulp.

The man heard the footsteps, raised his eyes, put the sea bowl on the table, wiped the wine on his hands, wiped the clothes with the stained wine, and stood up with a smile, "Haha, brother, don't you hate coming to my brother's place the most on weekdays?" Why are you empty today? ”

"What my brother said, if it's okay, brother, can't I come to you, big brother?" As he spoke, the officer gave the man a look, and motioned to Xu Xuan, who followed behind,

Only then did the jailer find Xu Xuan, who was following in, frowned and said, "Brother, why did you bring a stranger into the prison?" I think the group of boys who are guarding the door are itchy, and they dare to let this irrelevant person in! ”

The errand officer hurriedly pulled the jailer to the corner to the side, muttered and said, and after a while, the jailer said with a reluctant face, "Forget it, since you brought it, forget it this time, let you make an exception to see each other, but I am ugly to say that there is no next time for this matter,"

The officer hurriedly smiled and replied, "Where can I always trouble you in this matter, but this child is entrusted by others, so I came to ask, no, I can't even figure out the Tao in our yamen, my brother saw that he was pitiful, and he was afraid that others would ruin his brother's reputation, so he brought him in." ”

The jailer had a cold face and came to the corridor, this is the innermost cell, the most damp and gloomy, this humid and heavy, Xu Xuandu was faintly out of breath, only to see this jailer, stretched out his hand to open a door, and shouted inside, "Wang Fengshan, someone has come to see you!" ”

After speaking, the jailer glanced at Xu Xuan, "You only have half an hour to do, don't make it difficult for me"

Xu Xuan hurriedly surrendered his hand, "Don't dare, thank you"

The jailer glanced at Xu Xuan and staggered outside. Xu Xuan looked at Wang Fengshan, who was curled up in a ball on the bed in this prison, it had only been a few days, but he was already hungry and peeled off, just lying on this bed for a long time. At this time, when he heard someone coming in, he struggled to get up, and looked at Xu Xuan's eyes lit up,

Xu Xuanqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, for fear that Wang Fengshan would call out his name and show himself in front of these people, and hurriedly said, "Presumably you are Doctor Wang, and you are a friend of your apprentice Xu Xuan, this time I came to study at Egret Academy, and Brother Xu specially asked me to come and visit Mr."

The reason why Xu Xuan didn't say his name and hid his identity, one reason is that Wang Fengshan said at the beginning, don't want them to visit, which proves that this matter is not so simple, and the second reason is because in prison, if the jailer can't figure out your situation, it's okay to say, but if you know that Mi's relatives come to visit, they will torture you in a different way, and the family will bribe the jailer when they see the prisoner's painful appearance.

This is what he heard from Li Gongfu, that is, in prison, new prisoners, or prisoners with a little wealth, will be beaten and tortured by the prison guards, and even many people are beaten to death by the prison guards.

Li Gongfu, who had just arrived at the Yamen, once asked those old jailers after knowing these things, saying that they were in this prison and were just seeking money, so why did they bother to kill people?

The old jailer said, "If you don't kill people, the prisoners who come later won't pay the money according to the rules, and they won't smash the pot and sell iron at home to make money, so those new prisoners, and those who have no money at home, must be killed, besides, these people don't make offerings, how can the old men in the house feed?" ”

Therefore, Xu Xuan didn't dare to tell the other party that he was Wang Fengshan's apprentice at the beginning, otherwise Wang Fengshan, who was not in danger, would suffer a lot if he couldn't keep it.

Wang Fengshan reacted quickly, and weakly threw his hand at Xu Xuan, "So, thank you for coming to see me, I don't know what the situation is at home?" ”

Xu Xuan shook his head, "Old man, I don't know very well, but I look at Brother Xu's situation, and I guess it should be fine." But he asked me to come here and ask, how are you being locked up here, you are so decent? They're going to find a way to get you out."

Wang Fengshan shook his head: "Why do you ask this?" You go back and tell Xu Xuan, let him not have this thought, my affairs are big and small, and most of them can go out in a few years. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Fengshan couldn't help but stop because he was weak and out of breath, Xu Xuan looked at Wang Fengshan's appearance, he was really distressed, and he really wanted to go over to see the master's situation, but his brain, still ordered himself, where he stood and didn't move, this step was taken, and the jailer saw it, I'm afraid there would be big trouble.

Xu Xuan could only hold back his tears, covering his cheeks with his sleeves, and the tears couldn't help but flow down, but he bit his lower lip and didn't dare to make a sound, after a while, Xu Xuan took a deep breath and looked at Wang Fengshan who didn't want to say, so let him ask.

"Master Wang, did you come in this time because you offended the medical officer here?" Xu Xuan stared at Wang Fengshan and asked.

Wang Fengshan shook his head, "The matter here is not what you understand, so don't ask." ”

As soon as Wang Fengshan said this, Xu Xuan understood that Wang Fengshan's imprisonment must have something to do with the medical officer! And so far, the other party has refused to give up.

"Xiucai inside, it's almost time, it's time to go!" The yacha outside the door said in a sullen voice.

Xu Xuan didn't dare to stay, so he had to bow down at Wang Fengshan, "Don't worry, old gentleman, Brother Xu will never watch the old gentleman suffer like this again, and save you as soon as possible!" ”

With that, Xu Xuan turned around and walked outside.

"Alas, it's not necessary" Wang Fengshan looked at Xu Xuan's back and sighed leisurely.

Xu Xuan, who walked out of the corridor, paused slightly, but continued to walk out.
