Chapter 679. In a prison cell.
……
……
Although there was an iron bar in the cell, it was impossible for this prisoner to hurt Su Xiuning, but his crazy appearance still frightened Su Xiuning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Su Xiuning's delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly took a few steps back, hiding behind Aunt Xiang, and looked at the prisoner with a horrified gaze.
I saw that the prisoner had gray hair, a thin body, unkempt hair covering his face, and was about fifty years old.
On the other hand, the cell boss had an angry expression.
After discovering that Su Xiuning had a relationship with a big man like Zhao Junchen, the cell boss was bent on stammering, how could he let the prisoner frighten his "distinguished guest"?
So, the cell boss walked quickly to the prisoner and kicked him through the door, causing the prisoner to fall to the ground.
"What a call! Scared these two nobles, do you take care of it? What a noble person is Lord Zhao, and how can you see it if you want to see it? The cell boss said viciously: "You used to be a nobleman, but now you are a phoenix that is not as good as a chicken, even your brother has fallen into bad luck, no one can protect you anymore, you have to obey the rules in prison!" If you dare to shout again, I will whip you with a big whip!" ”
After the prisoner fell to the ground, he finally sobered up, and the strength of the cell leader's feet was so heavy that he couldn't get up for a long time.
But he looked at Su Xiuning's gaze and was still fanatical, but he ignored the warning of the cell boss, and still used all his strength to shout to Su Xiuning: "Girl, please do well, ask me to pass the word to Lord Zhao, just say that I am willing to work for him, Lord Zhao, he should still remember me, I am Guo Min, I will definitely be able to help Lord Zhao......"
It turned out that this person was Guo Tang's brother and the behind-the-scenes owner of the "Four Links Commercial Bank" - Guo Min!
It's just that, looking at Guo Min's current cloaked and crazy image, where is the slightest trace of the past?
Seeing that Guo Min didn't heed his warning at all, the cell boss felt that he had lost face in front of Su Xiuning, and he was immediately annoyed and angry, so he planned to open the cell door and rush in to serve with punches and kicks!
However, after all, Su Xiuning was a kind-hearted person, and he couldn't bear to see this prisoner suffering in front of him, but he opened his mouth to stop him: "This cell boss, forget it, he is also a poor man." ”
Hearing Su Xiuning's persuasion, the cell boss naturally wanted to give some face, but he glared at Guo Min viciously and said, "For the sake of this girl's face, I will spare you once for the time being, and I will settle accounts with you in the future!" ”
After speaking, the cell boss no longer paid attention to Guo Min, but just led Su Xiuning to continue walking towards the depths of the cell.
However, although Su Xiuning left quickly, Guo Min still kept shouting at Su Xiuning's back.
"This girl, you must help me tell Lord Zhao! I want to see him! I want to see Lord Zhao......"

After walking away, Guo Min's screams gradually became less harsh, and the cell boss finally explained Guo Min's background to Su Xiuning: "Don't be surprised, girl, this person has gone completely crazy, he was originally a big man, but a big businessman in the capital, and his brother was Guo Tang, the young master of the dynasty, but his brother offended a more powerful big man, where can he please him?" Not only did he lose his black yarn and be in a cage, but the entire Guo family was unlucky, and this person was also implicated in the prison of the Criminal Department......"
Speaking of this, the cell boss lowered his voice and said, "Speaking of which, the big man who he and his brother have sinned against is none other than Lord Zhao, the head of the household department!" ”
This prisoner named Guo Min is actually related to Zhao Junchen? Since he is in prison because of Zhao Junchen's relationship, why is he eager to take refuge in Zhao Junchen?
Originally, Su Xiuning didn't take this matter very seriously, but after hearing that the prisoner had a relationship with Zhao Junchen, Su Xiuning quietly paid attention to it for some reason.
And just as the cell boss explained to Su Xiuning, several people had already come to the depths of the cell.
Different from the small and dirty cells on the periphery, the cells here are clean and large, and the commonly used living utensils are all available, including beds, tables and chairs, and even clean teapots and tea cups.
Although the cell boss had already said that the conditions here were much better than those in the outer cells, after seeing this scene, Su Xiuning was still stunned.
Seeing Su Xiuning's surprised expression, the cell boss explained with a smile: "Most of the prisoners detained here were originally court officials above the sixth grade, although they were unlucky to enter the prison cell, but no one knows whether they will go out to reinstate their duties in the future, and they don't know if they still have relatives and friends in the court, so we don't dare to offend them easily, but we want to eat and drink well, if they have any requirements, as long as they are not too excessive, we will try our best to agree, and we will never let them be wronged." ”
Civilians and magnates have long become two different species, civilians steal a hundred taels of silver, and the powerful are greedy for millions, and they have to be put into a cell after being discovered, but the former often suffers in the cell, while the latter still enjoys VIP treatment, even if the latter's crimes are thousands of times that of the former!
It's an irony in some ways, but it's always been true!
After hearing the cell boss's explanation, Su Xiuning didn't think much of the truth, but she was no longer worried that her father Su Changyi would be wronged, and she was relieved in her heart.
On the contrary, Aunt Xiang seemed to think of the irony, and couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
While speaking, the cell head pointed to a cell not far away, and said: "The girl wants to see Master Su Changqi Su, just live there for the time being, the girl has a warrant from Lord Shilang, naturally you can meet him at will, I don't dare to limit the time, but it is best not to meet for more than half an hour, otherwise it will be more difficult for us to do." ”
Following the guidance of the cell boss, Su Xiuning looked around, but finally saw the figure of his father Su Changyi.
At this time, Su Changyi was sitting at a round table, holding a book and reading carefully, with a pot of tea and a plate of pastries in his hand, which was still a little leisurely and complacent.
Su Changning's perfect father image has long been broken in Su Xiuning's heart, and Su Xiuning is still a little resentful of Su Changjin's practices, but she is Su Changjin's biological daughter after all, and it is impossible to be a stranger to Su Changzhen because of some resentment in her heart, so after Su Xiuning saw Su Changjing, she was still faintly excited.
And the cell boss shouted to the surrounding jailers: "This girl wants to see Master Su in Room C, why don't you go and open the cell door quickly!" ”
With the shout of the cell leader, Su Changyi in the cell was slightly stunned, and when he turned his head, he also saw Su Xiuning and Aunt Xiang, and his face suddenly showed excitement.
It has been more than 20 days since the last time their father and daughter met, and during this time, Su Changyi has also been thinking about Su Xiuning day and night - not that Su Changning cares about Su Xiuning, but because the future prosperity and decline of the Su family are completely pressed on Su Xiuning.
After opening the cell door, the cell leader led the jailer away, leaving all the surrounding space to Su Changyi and Su Xiuning, father and daughter.
After Su Xiuning and Aunt Xiang entered the cell, Su Changyi also greeted him quickly, and said with an excited expression: "Daughter, why can you enter the prison of the Criminal Department to visit your father?" Don't...... Have you already met Zhao Junchen? ”
Su Xiuning originally wanted to ask a few words about Su Changchen's current situation, but after seeing that Su Changyi was just blindly concerned about Zhao Junchen's affairs, he also suppressed the words on his lips and nodded: "This morning, I have already met Lord Zhao, and Lord Zhao has already promised Xiuning, saying that after his father's affairs have passed, he will rescue the Su family, and will never let the Su family be assigned to the frontier and degraded to pariahs." After receiving the promise of Lord Zhao, the daughter was worried that her father was concerned about the matter, so she hurriedly came to visit her father in the prison of the Criminal Department and told her father about the matter. ”
On the side, after Aunt Xiang glanced at Su Changyi a few times, her expression was much calmer, and she just added: "Lord Zhao takes care of Xiuning very much, and in order to facilitate Xiuning to visit the master, he also specially asked for a warrant from a waiter of the Criminal Department, so that Xiuning can freely enter and leave the prison of the Criminal Department during this time. ”
After hearing Su Xiuning and Aunt Xiang's explanation, Su Changyi suddenly showed joy on his face, and nodded again and again: "Okay!" That's great! I knew that Zhao Junchen would never refuse Xiuning! It doesn't matter if I die, but the Su family must not be defeated! As long as we have Zhao Junchen's care, our Su family will be able to prosper sooner or later! ”
Speaking of this, Su Changyi said to Su Xiuning earnestly: "In the future, if you want to please Lord Zhao even more, you must be further spoiled by Lord Zhao, it is best to give birth to a son and a half daughter for Zhao Junchen, and then your position in the Zhao Mansion will be stable, and Zhao Junchen will pay more attention to you, and will further support our Su family!" In this way, our Su family will be able to turn over faster......"
Hearing Su Changyi's words, Su Xiuning and Aunt Xiang couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, they reacted and found that Su Changyi seemed to have misunderstood something.
Su Xiuning's expression was a little complicated, and she didn't know how she should respond, but Aunt Xiang explained directly: "The master misunderstood, Lord Zhao did not accept Xiuning as a concubine, although he agreed to rescue the Su family, but it was only for the sake of his past relationship with Xiuning, but not because Xiuning became his concubine." ”
After hearing Aunt Xiang's explanation, Su Changyi's face suddenly changed!
It stands to reason that his daughter escaped the fate of becoming a concubine, and Zhao Junchen is also willing to rescue the Su family, so Su Changzhen should be happy.
But at this time, Su Changyi, where is the meaning of happiness in his expression? On the contrary, there is a lot of shock and dissatisfaction.
For Su Changyi, Zhao Junchen's rescue of the Su family is only the first step, and letting Zhao Junchen support the Su family and let the Su family become rich and prosperous again is his ultimate goal!
In order to achieve this goal, for the sake of the future of the entire Su family, how could Su Xiuning leave Zhao Junchen like this?
