Cao Xiu entered the prison, which was dark and damp, turned a door, and a bluestone paved passage appeared in front of it, and the cells on both sides of the passage were fenced off.

In the cell, when the prisoners saw Cao Xiu being brought in by Ai Prison Guards and Zhang Zhutou, they immediately leaned against the fence, stretched out their hands one by one and waved them, and shouted:

"My lord, the grass people have been wronged."

"My lord, the person who knocked on the nunnery at night is really not my ......"

"My lord, the grass people don't litter......"

……

"Whatever you are arguing about, don't make any noise!"

The sound of shouting grievances was endless, and the guards who followed behind Cao Xiu slapped their hands back with sticks, and after a while, the prison gradually quieted down.

He was taken into the innermost cell, which was empty, except for a man lying in a thatched pile on the east side.

Cao Xiu walked in, and the prison officer immediately locked the cell door, and then left with Zhang Zhutou, who was standing outside, without saying anything in between.

Cao Xiu squatted in the corner of the west wall, the ground was all thatched, occasionally rats and cockroaches jumped over, the stench was stinking, it can be said that the hygiene of the cell is quite poor.

It seemed as if his entry had awakened the man to the east, whose hair was dishevelled and thatched to it, and when he raised his head, his face was covered with black ash, like a monkey coming out of a coal kiln.

"New here? New kid, what sin have you committed? ”

The man sat up from the ground, leaned against the wall, and glanced at Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu saw that he was in his sixties, he was an old man, and his face was wrinkled into chrysanthemums.

This chrysanthemum face, somehow, Cao Xiu felt a little familiar.

Maybe the old man's face shape is similar, everyone is a stranger, he didn't say much, just said lightly: "Well, they said that I sold fake medicine and almost ate people to death, but I was wronged, old man, what about you?" ”

"I'm ......"

The old man stayed in the cell, he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and now Cao Xiu came, it was like opening the chatterbox, he said, while sitting next to Cao Xiu, and then sighed: "I'm the same as you, I was wronged, when I was young, I read a few days of books, and helped people write biographies, and then the person was corrupt, and I also squatted in prison for a few years, and after being released, I began to write a script for people, but you don't know, writing a script, a dead end, not only can you not get food and clothing, but even the book was sealed by the government, in the back, alas, don't say it...... Let's talk about the recent past, a month ago, I was eating noodles in an inn in Jiangning County, and the money bag on my body accidentally fell from my pocket to the bench, and was picked up by a reckless man at the same table, obviously it was my thing, but he didn't say it was his, and then, he found a handsome scholar to help evaluate it, and the scholar didn't know which one crawled out of the nest, it must be that the reckless man, he was clever and tongue-in-cheek, and he wronged the old man in three or two sentences, and the people of Jiangning County found out that my household registration was in Liyuan County, I informed the officers and soldiers to send the old man to this ......."

At first, Cao Xiu also felt that the old man's background was pitiful, but in the back, the more he chewed, the more it tasted.

Handsome scholar, Jiangning Inn, money bag, how does he feel as if he has encountered a similar case.

The old man on the side also felt that Cao Xiu's voice was very familiar.

Gradually, both of them turned their heads to each other, their eyes met, and after three breaths......

"It's you—"

"It's you kid!"

There is a so-called not that the enemy does not get together, and when Cao Xiu recognized the old man, he was stunned.

The old man saw that Cao Xiu was even more sad, and he was angry, and his two dry hands choked Cao Xiu's neck at once, and Cao Xiu would not show weakness.

Two men, old and young, one sloppy and one clean, wrestled and rolled in the cell in spite of their image until both were exhausted.

"Huhu...... Old man, you still have some strength. ”

"Sixty-two years alone, what do you think?"

Cao Xiu and the old man were lying on the thatched green brick floor together, gasping for breath.

Cao Xiu said: "It's been a long time, and you haven't asked the old man's name?" ”

The old man said: "Don't give your surname Qin, but I forgot my name, everyone I know calls me Uncle Qin." By the way, what about you? ”

"I, my current name is Xu Xian."

Cao Xiu had already sat up and pulled Uncle Qin by the hand.

Qin Lao looked at him suspiciously, "What do you mean now?" Is this name still divided into now and later? ”

Cao Xiu nodded and said: "People are floating in the rivers and lakes, and they always need a few fake names to cover up their identities, otherwise the enemy will come to the door, and they will have it?" ”

Qin Lao curled his fingers and said, "You kid, it's not a good thing. ”

"Everyone ...... each other" Cao Xiu stood up, patted the dust on his clothes, thought about it in his heart, and said: "Old man, we don't know each other, you can read and write, you can be regarded as half a scholar, do you want me to help you find an identity in the future?" ”

"Boy, what are you scheming again?"

Cao Xiu's sudden sentence, Qin Lao couldn't help but be stunned, glanced at him, and then said with a smile: "You can't protect yourself, what else do you say, even if there is a future, I don't need your help, this prison has food and shelter, two meals a day, don't worry about wind and rain, every day, someone cleans you, idle and tired, mice and cockroaches come to accompany you, and this body of lice, you can eat it as a snack when you are hungry, who still goes out, even if the old man dies, he dies here, he will not go out." ”

Cao Xiu saw that he swore an oath, and his bones were strong, so he didn't say any more, just the idea that suddenly came to his heart just now.

At that moment, the door of the prison cell was opened, and the door scraped the floor with a heavy sound.

Cao Xiu looked out, and the first person who walked in was Zhang Zhutou just now, followed by Ai Prison Officer, and the last person who walked in the door was Lei Heng, who sold medicine to him.

Lei Heng grinned, walked to the door of Cao Xiu's cell, looked at him and said, "Young Master Xu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, you ...... now Okay? ”

Cao Xiu smiled coldly and said, "Thanks to your Boss Lei, I'm doing well." ”

"Hmph, a dead duck has a hard mouth." Zhang Zhutou opened the cell door and invited Cao Xiu out.

Lei Heng looked at Cao Xiu, and immediately revealed his true colors, "Young Master Xu, we have a deal I want to talk to you about, if you want, we will let you go immediately." ”

Cao Xiu said: "What if I don't agree? ”

"Then you're going to be locked up here for the rest of your life." Zhang Zhutou threatened.

Cao Xiu glanced at him and said, "Let's talk about it, what kind of deal?" ”

Lei Heng curled his hand, "Xu Gongzi will come here first, this deal, we have to talk about it slowly." ”

Cao Xiu followed Lei Heng and them to a relatively secluded cell.

Qin Lao saw everything in his eyes, and said in his heart: "This kid is really a big deal." ”

……

In the cell.

Cao Xiu sat on a chair, there was a table in front of him, and on the other side of the table sat Lei Heng.

Zhang Zhutou stood behind Lei Heng, and the Ai jailer stood guard outside the door.

Lei Heng touched his beard and said straight to the point: "Ming people don't say dark words, we framed you this time, all for a woman next to you." ”

"It can't be my cousin Nie Xiaoqian, right?" Cao Xiu pouted, feeling very helpless, and was pitted by the shame of the noble girl again.

Lei Heng clapped his palms and laughed: "Gongzi is really a god, and his guess is good......
