CHAPTER XXVII
When the jailer got it, he was about to leave, and before leaving, he shouted at Xu Yurong and Chen Zhiheng: "Hurry up, there is only a quarter of an hour, if you have anything to say, hurry up." ”
Xu Yuan, who was originally leaning against the wall and closing her eyes to recuperate, heard the voice of the jailer, and knew that someone was coming, she thought that sometimes Zheng Dewang, but she felt that it was not, because the jailer's tone towards the person who came was not as polite as Zheng Dewang who came last time.
When she opened her eyes slightly, the person who came was indeed not Zheng Dewang, it was Chen Zhiheng and Xu Yurong.
Seeing that it was the two of them, Xu Yuanyuan got up and walked towards the prison door. Although her face was much haggard, her eyes were still as bright as when she came in, as if they were studded with sparkling gems.
Xu Yuan leaned against the cell door and said to Xu Yurong, "Why did you come in?" ”
Xu Yurong was a little distressed when he saw Xu Yuan's appearance, and reached over the railing to hold Xu Yuan's somewhat cold hand, and said: "It was Chen Gongzi who brought me in, and now the senior brothers and sisters are trying to find a way outside, begging for people, and earning money, just to redeem you and Master." ”
Chen Zhiheng saw that Xu Yuanyuan was wearing thin clothes, so he took off the black fur collar cloak he was wearing, and wanted to put it on Xu Yuanyuan in the past, so he handed over the railing and said: "Winter is cold, and this place is damp and cold, and I just saw that you coughed, put it on, so as not to fall into the root of the disease." ”
Xu Xuan didn't see the black fur collar cloak handed over by Chen Zhiheng, but said, "Put it on my master, my master was injured and his face was so red, he must have burned." If it's convenient, can Chen Gongzi send some medicine in, I'm afraid that if Master burns it again, people will be gone in a few days. After speaking, he looked in the direction of Xu Huanqing's cell, and his face showed a little worry.
Xu Yurong and Chen Zhiheng also looked at Xu Huanqing, who was lying on the ground covered with dry straw, not far from the prison door, with his face sideways, and they could just see it. His face was burned red, like the sunset on the horizon in the evening, and there were beads of sweat on his face, and his face looked like azaleas with raindrops in the yard in the early morning after the rain.
They also found that Xu Huanqing was a little sick, and it was time to ask the doctor to take a look.
Chen Zhiheng walked over, handed the black fur collar cloak into Xu Huanqing's cell, stretched his hand inside, and tried to cover Xu Huanqing. But Xu Yuanyuan and Xu Yurong have been in the Xu family class for so long, and they have never heard the master mention Qingmei, and they only say that they are confused.
After a while, the jailer came in and bombarded people.
The jailer carried the knife and said impatiently, "When the time comes, hurry up." ”
Chen Zhiheng was a little reluctant, and before leaving, he said to Xu Yuanyu: "I will find a way to come in and see you again." After saying that, he was pushed out by the jailer half-pushed and half-conceded.
Out of prison, Chen Zhiheng and Xu Yurong said, "You go back first, I will find a way to send medicine in Xu Banzhuo." ”
So the two separated at the gate of the prison, Xu Yurong went back to the Xu family compound to wait for news, and Chen Zhiheng returned to the Laifu Inn.
He returned to the wing room on the second floor, which was intended for him alone. Since he first came to Yanjing, he has chartered this wing, and every time he comes to Yanjing, he lives here, and there are many of his personal belongings in the room. Over time, there was a lock on the door, and the key to that lock was only for him and the shopkeeper.
There was a man in the room, although he was not as well dressed as Chen Zhiheng, but he was much better than ordinary people, he was Chen Zhiheng's personal servant Feng Mi, he followed Chen Zhiheng when he was a child, and Chen Zhiheng was the same age, he saluted Chen Zhiheng when he saw him.
Chen Zhiheng sat on the chair and said, "You go and find the shopkeeper here, if I look for him, go quickly." ”
Feng Mi got Chen Zhiheng's order, and immediately went out to find the shopkeeper of the Rifle Inn. After a while, Feng Mi led a middle-aged man in.
The middle-aged man called Zhou Changshun, he was very thin, and he didn't feel much meat on his body, but he was very tall, and he looked like a bamboo pole from a distance, so he was called the bamboo pole shopkeeper.
As soon as Zhou Changshun entered the door, Feng Mi closed the door. I saw that after Zhou Changshun saluted Chen Zhiheng, he asked, "I don't know what Chen Gongzi is looking for me?" ”
Chen Zhiheng played with the wrench in his hand, and said without changing his face: "You and Feige to pass the book to the prince's mansion of Liang State, and ask them to send four thousand taels of silver to Dechang Silver to exchange for silver tickets, and quickly send people over, remember to keep it secret, don't let my imperial brother know." Also, I'm going to call on your money here, which is in urgent need lately. By the way, prepare a thicker dress. ”
It turned out that Chen Zhiheng was actually the crown prince of Liang State. Chen Shiyan, the emperor of the Liang State, protected this prince very well, and the outside world never knew his name, let alone his appearance, so outsiders only said that he was a son of a rich family, but they didn't know what he did at home. Every time he traveled secretly, Chen Shiyan knew about it, and he also covered for Chen Zhiheng, only saying that Chen Zhiheng was not in good health and could not go to court early, so he was kept in the secret courtyard. And Feng Mi was sent by Chen Shiyan to protect Chen Zhiheng, Feng Mi's martial arts can rank in the top five of the Liang, and he is a dead soldier raised by Chen Shiyan, so he is only loyal to Chen Shiyan and Chen Zhiheng. Laifu Inn is Chen Shiyan's eyeliner under Yan Guo, and Zhou Changshun is also a fine work sent by Liang Guo to monitor Yan Guo's actions from time to time, and later it also became the place where Chen Zhiheng settled when he came to Yanjing.
Zhou Changshun got the order and went out. After a while, the servant brought two trays, one with two money bags, one with gold and the other with silver. Zhou Changshun knew that Chen Zhiheng was short of money now, but if he brought more silver, it would be a little heavier, and if the gold was not heavy, it would be easy to find it, so he would inevitably spend more. On the other tray was a large silver fox fur, which looked very thick.
Chen Zhiheng took the things and walked out of the Rifle Inn. He first went to the Rejuvenation Hall, invited Dr. Ouyang, the famous Xinglin Holy Hand of Yanjing, to go out for medical treatment, and took the Doctor Ouyang to the Yanjing prison.
The two jailers still stopped and didn't let Chen Zhiheng in, only to see Chen Zhiheng take out a gold ingot from one of the money bags, and the two jailers saw the gold, their eyes lit up, knowing that Chen Zhiheng was a rich master, and let Chen Zhiheng in.
Chen Zhiheng arrived in front of Xu Huanqing's cell and directly ordered the jailer who followed him: "Open the door of the cell for me, and ask Dr. Ouyang to go in and take a look." ”
The jailer was a little embarrassed, and said sheepishly, "This son, this is not good...... If you open the cell door without permission, you will be blamed if you know it. ”
Chen Zhiheng was not angry, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corner of his mouth on the left side of his mouth rose slightly, and he just said: "You want to cut off your financial path like this?" ”
The jailer looked at Chen Zhiheng like this, and was a little flustered, neither advancing nor retreating. On the one hand, he may be scolded by his boss, but on the other hand, he is a seriously ill old mother at home. Although the jade jade pendant was valuable last time, the pawnshop owner saw that he was in a hurry, and forced the price down, only selling a piece of jade for money, and the old mother's illness at home should be hung with wild ginseng, and there was no wild ginseng on Yanguo Mountain, and those wild ginseng were transported from Liangguo, Liangguo is located in the north, the climate is cold, and the most suitable for the growth of this wild ginseng. Because it is shipped from other countries, wild ginseng is also very expensive, and it can only be sold for tens or even hundreds of taels of silver. And the money from selling the jade pendant is the same as the jailer who guards with him, and he doesn't have much money, but he bought the medicine twice, and the money went in, and now the family is frying the medicine residue bought twice back and forth to maintain.
The jailer, in the midst of all his struggles, was determined to try his luck to see if he could earn the money.
So the jailer took out a large bunch of keys from his heavy clothes, found the corresponding key, opened the door of Xu Huanqing's cell, and Dr. Ouyang went in to check Xu Huanqing's pulse.
Chen Zhiheng saw that the jailer had opened the door of Xu Huanqing's cell, so he said to the jailer: "Since you have opened that door, please open this door by the way, anyway, it is a sin to have one more door and one less door, it is better to open another door, make me happy, and give you more reward." ”
What Chen Zhiheng said was also reasonable, and the jailer was interested, so he opened the door of Xu Yuan's cell.
Xu curled up against the wall, turned his head, and looked at the small window on the high wall behind him, in the dark prison, the only place where the sunlight could let in.
She knew that Chen Zhiheng had come in, but she still looked at the window without saying anything.
It was Chen Zhiheng who opened his mouth first: "I said I would come in to see you, and I'll come now." ”
Xu Yuanyuan didn't look at Chen Zhiheng, but continued to look at the window and said, "You don't have to treat me like that." ”
Chen Zhiheng ignored Xu Yuanyuan, just put the silver fox fur coat on Xu Yuanyuan's body, and continued: "The prison uniform is so thin, you will be more sick, put this fox fur coat on, it will be warmer." ”
Xu Yuanxuan didn't appreciate it, took the fox fur away from himself, and repeated what he had just said: "You don't have to treat me well. I knew Zheng Dewang wanted me to give in, but I didn't. He asked the jailer to give me a thin prison uniform, which was nothing more than to make my life worse and more uncomfortable, so as to force me to submit. But I don't. ”
Chen Zhiheng knew that Xu Yuanyuan was very stubborn, but he never thought that Xu Yuanyuan would be so stubborn that he would refuse his kindness because he wanted to resist Zheng Dewang. At this time, he felt a little more distressed about the girl in front of him.
In Xu Yuan's eyes, she rejected Chen Zhiheng, not just because she wanted to rebel against Zheng Dewang. She knew that Chen Zhiheng was good to her, and she also received Chen Zhiheng's affection, but she also knew Zheng Dewang's temperament. If Zheng Dewang knew that someone was secretly helping Xu Yuanyuan behind his back, he would definitely retaliate against that person. And Xu Yuanyuan knew that Chen Zhiheng was kind to her, and she didn't want to implicate Chen Zhiheng and make Chen Zhiheng suffer. Now her master Xu Huanqing has been implicated, and when Zheng Dewang came last time, he also said that if he didn't agree to her, there would only be more people who could be related to her to suffer. Although she has been locked up inside for several days and has no news from the outside, she knows that Zheng Dewang must have made trouble to Xu Jiaban according to Zheng Dewang's personality.
