The prison of the Criminal Department, there is an eerie atmosphere here.

Yan Shifan squatted in the corner of the death row with his hair scattered, and his whole person looked sluggish, and he had long since lost the arrogance of the old Xiaoge.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is the torment of waiting for the process of death.

Since he was sentenced by the imperial court to be beheaded for the crime of "cooperating with the widows", he has been beheaded several times in his dreams during the time he waited.

The world makes people, and he ended up in such a field.

He was undoubtedly fortunate to be born in a family of eunuchs.

His father is an authentic Hanlin official, and his mother is a devout disciple who believes in Buddhism, and the two are extremely affectionate. Even if the mother did not give birth for a long time, the father not only did not choose to divorce the mother, but also did not have a concubine.

His birth is destined to be the most joyful event for the Yan family, his father, who is over thirty years old, no longer needs to be criticized for passing on the lineage, and his mother can also explain to the ancestors of the Yan family.

His nickname is "Qing'er", and he is doted on by his parents when he urinates. Although he was not able to make a breakthrough in the imperial examination, with his father's grace, he successfully entered the official career.

He stepped up to the high position of the left squire of the Ministry of Industry, and even relied on his father's authority to tilt the power of the government and the opposition, and even entered the cabinet in the name of serving his father and became a veritable "little cabinet elder".

It's just that my father will eventually grow old, and the enemies hiding in the shadows are ready to attack, and he has become a target for political enemies. Not only was he exiled to Leizhou, but his father also handed over the throne of Shoufu because of him.

I thought that he would honestly stay in Jiangxi Fenyi, and with the protection of his father, he would be able to live a stable life for a few more years. He couldn't get by, and he could still escape to the sea.

But he never thought that he still took it lightly, Xu Jie, the old horseman, was hiding deeper than he imagined, but he wanted to kill him.

When I arrived in the capital, I thought that I would be able to be safe and sound, but many things were ready at the beginning, and Li Yinshi, the prefect of Yuanzhou, Guo Jichen, the governor of Yuanzhou, and Lin Run, the imperial history of Jiangnan patrolling the river, met by chance.

In the conspiracy and calculation that he has always been proud of, he was completely defeated, and became a stepping stone for Xu Jie's advancement.

During the days he was on death row, he always recalled the good days when his father was in power, but every time he woke up, he was always in this prison, so that he only wanted to numb himself with alcohol.

Yan Shifan couldn't help but show a bitter smile on his face when he thought of the wine, and his eyes fell on the bowl of yellow sand rice that came in from the horizontal wooden interval at noon, which was his current treatment.

The world is hot and cold, and human affection is weak, but there is nothing more than that.

"Tweet ......"

In the cell next to him, Luo Wenlong already had a cold, and he was tired and huddled in the haystack, like a poor worm.

The sunlight peeping through the hole in the wall slowly faded away, and the whole cell became pitch black, and the candles outside suddenly lit up, indicating that evening had come.

Whoa......

There was a sound of metal chains, the cell door was opened, and the cell leader led two jailers in with meat and vegetables, and placed a jug of wine next to the dishes.

"Who sent it?"

At the beginning, there would be many officials who had known each other before to visit, but now it has already ended up being uncared for, but Yan Shifan inquired.

The cell boss looked at the unkempt Yan Shifan, and said with a smile: "This is the last meal, the severed head meal that everyone often says!" Yan Shifan, if you eat well, you can go on the road with peace of mind, and you will be a good person in the next life! ”

In that hearty meat bowl, there was already a piece of raw meat with white flowers.

Yan Shifan's nose suddenly became sour, but before he could vent, there was a crying sound next to him, and Luo Wenlong's emotions had collapsed at this moment.

Luo Wenlong is indeed quite innocent, he actually didn't do anything, just followed Yan Shifan to drink a few more drinks, and as a result, he was sent to the guillotine with Yan Shifan.

Yan Shifan saw Luo Wenlong crying so heartbreakingly, but he suddenly didn't want to cry, but he didn't have any appetite, but he didn't care that the cell boss's attitude towards him had changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and immediately ordered lightly: "Bring paper, pen and ink!" ”

The cell boss hesitated, but still agreed: "Wait! ”

Under the old rules, death row inmates were allowed to leave a letter home. In fact, this book is also a suicide note, and when his family received it, his head had already moved.

After a while, the cell boss sent paper, pen and ink, and a wooden board to serve as a temporary desk.

Yan Shifan was laying the paper on the wooden board, grinding the ink, and tears fell down, but he held back his tears and wrote on the paper: "Unfilial son Shifan is ashamed of his old father, if he has the next life, he is willing to be the son of his father again, serve his parents, and do not ask about court affairs...... Now it is known that the Xianling Grace Hall costs 730,000 taels, and his father has ruled the country for 20 years, so he can share the emperor's worries. If the Father has a good plan, he can offer it to His Majesty! ”

After writing, he carefully folded the paper and put it in the letter, and then took off the eye cover with his left hand and clasped it to the eyeball with the two fingers of his right hand.

Naturally, this is not a real eyeball, but a fake eyeball made by a craftsman in the past, made of extraordinary jade, which is placed directly on the envelope.

When the cell boss came to collect the dishes, he was startled when he saw the eyeballs on the envelope, but then he understood. He put away his eyeballs and envelope, thanked Yan Shifan, and left happily.

Due to the excessive force just now, Yan Shifan's right eye shed a bloody tear, but he didn't regret it, this was probably the last thing he could do for the Yan family.

The cell boss ate fatly, and walked slowly to the main hall outside. It was the official resting place of their jailer, and it wasn't much better, but it was clean, and the candles lit it up like day.

It's just that here, a middle-aged man in a four-rank official uniform is sitting at a table, with sumptuous wine and food on the table, and several food boxes next to it.

"Lord Xu, this is Yan Shifan's family letter!" The cell boss walked up to the middle-aged man, took the letter from his bosom, and presented it with a smile on his face.

Xu Fan stopped his chopsticks, reached out to take the letter, took out the letter paper and looked at it, but he put it directly into his arms, and at the same time took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it to the cell boss.

"Thank you, Lord Xu, for the reward!" The cell boss took the silver with both hands and replied with a smile on his face.

"Remember, no one is allowed to visit!" Xu Fan stood up from the wine table and admonished seriously.

Naturally, the cell boss hurriedly agreed.

Xu Fan walked a few steps and saw that there were several food boxes next to him, but he couldn't help but be angry. He angrily kicked the food box, but the food box did not move, but the pain made him jump around holding his feet, and his whole face was even more grinning.

"Lord Xu, are you okay?" Seeing this, the cell boss stepped forward and asked, looking concerned.

Xu Fan pointed to the food boxes given to Yan Shifan, and said through gritted teeth: "Throw them all out for me to feed the dogs!" ”

The cell boss sighed in his heart, but he also accepted the order honestly. Since this uncle is sitting here, he has a small cell boss who not only has to wait on the other party, but also has to obey any orders.
