Ma Du guessed right, it took less than a day to fill the empty prison, and people were constantly being caught. It's a pity that Lao Zhu still didn't mean to let him out, and he couldn't see Han Cheng and Yang Shuping, and he was very upset.

It's not that the food in the prison is not good and free, but every day is spent in the miserable howl of killing pigs, and you can see the bloody execution scene when you raise your eyes, even for a surgeon, it can be regarded as absolute spiritual destruction.

On the contrary, Wang Guangyang, who prides himself on being elegant and elegant, shows stronger adaptability than Ma Du, and every time someone is sent, he goes over to take a look at it and scolds bitterly, "Traitor, you used to be embarrassed by Hu Weiyong's situation with the old man, and you deserve such an end!" ”

Wang Guangyang would then get himself drunk with a wine jug, wrap himself in a quilt on the edge of the stove, and lie down in the haystack and fall asleep. Ma Du felt that Lao Wang was not gloating, he was just glad that he had not fallen into such a miserable situation.

"Master Hou, Master Hou, someone from your family has come to see you again!" The cell boss stood in front of the cell door with a smile on his face, and his small eyes were full of anticipation, and he estimated in his heart that it would be good to come to the door again.

"The ghosts are crying wolves here, don't scare the children, let me go out to meet them!"

"It's a trifle! Hou Ye, please! The cell boss opened the cell door attentively, rubbed his hands and followed Ma Du out of the cell.

The snow in the courtyard had not yet melted, and a layer of ice slag had formed on it, and there was a clattering sound when his feet stepped on it, and the cell leader led Madu into the office hall.

A girl in a jacket and cloak was sitting on a tall chair, looking around with a bag in her arms, her dangling legs gently shaking and kicking the legs of the chair.

Another old man wrapped in fur nested in a chair, also holding a burden in his arms with a melancholy face, and there was a eunuch standing next to him, that was Xiao Huang, the apprentice of Yuansheng, who often waited by Lao Zhu's side.

The little girl saw Ma Du who entered the door and shouted vividly, "Daddy! ”

Bi Lin jumped down from the chair, turned three steps into two steps to Ma Du, and looked up at Ma Du, "How can Daddy still be fat when he is in prison?" ”

The old loach got up and came over, "What kind of stupid thing does this kid say, who will get fat in prison, obviously he is thin, you can see that his cheeks are sunken." ”

"Second master, my father is really fat, and his cheeks are also bulging."

"It's thin, you can't hold the flesh on your face, huh? It's really fat! ”

Ma Du smiled bitterly: "Second grandfather, hurry up and let go, you tear off my flesh and skin, this cheek is really going to concave down." ”

The old loach stretched out his hand and patted Ma Du's shoulder twice, "When is it, you still have the heart to laugh, you don't want to do things for the emperor, why do you want to make him angry, what should I do if I lock you up now." ”

Bi Lin persuaded: "Second master, don't worry, the emperor told me today, Daddy will be released soon, don't believe you ask Father-in-law Xiaohuang!" ”

"Second grandfather, don't worry, I eat well and live well here, otherwise how can I get fat." Madu pointed to the cell behind him, "Look at the fact that I still have someone to serve and be comfortable." ”

The cell boss also smiled and said: "We have lived here with a lot of people, and none of them are as comfortable as the Hou Ye, and there are a few small ones who can put a hundred hearts in the old lady." ”

"Ahh

There was a piercing scream from the cell, like the cry of a terrible ghost, and without asking, he knew that Jinyiwei had begun to torture people again, Ma Du and the cell boss were used to hearing it, the old loach and Bi Lin couldn't help but tremble, and the faces of the old and the young showed horror.

Ma Du put the cloak and hat on Bi Lin, and the white fur edged took advantage of her little face to become more and more cute, "Okay, it's not early, you can go back quickly." ”

Bi Lin handed the burden in her hand to Ma Du, "It's cold, my mother asked me to bring the cotton clothes for my father." ”

"And this ......," said the old loach, handing over a heavy cloth bag.

The cell boss hurriedly grabbed it and said with a smile: "This Shen, the villain will take it." ”

"I'm tired of my uncle, and I'm going to come to the house to sit in the future."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the villain is just doing his duty, if he treats the Hou Niangniang and the prince badly, he can't spare the villain." The cell boss shook the heavy bag, and his heart was already happy.

Listening to the screams in the prison continuing, Ma Du continued to urge the two to leave, and kept sending the two out of the yamen. The old loach took off his fur and put it on Ma Du, "Don't freeze!" ”

Bi Lin shook her pink little fist, "Daddy, don't be afraid, the child will protect you." ”

Although it is a cold winter, Layue is in the ice and snow, but this unscrupulous fairy tale is like the spring sun shining on the body, which warms people's hearts and livers.

The cell boss next to him said: "I really envy Master Hou, it is your blessing to have such a golden cotton jacket." ”

Ma Du smiled and asked, "Don't you have one at home?" ”

"The two stinky boys in the family are naughty and mischievous all day long, and when they see the villain, they will reach out and ask for money, and it must be the creditor of the previous life who came to collect the debt."

"Haha...... Two sons are not enough for you to be proud of, and the iron rice bowl of your cell boss can be passed on. ”

The cell head nodded and smiled: "I won't tell you, the villain's family was a prison in the Song Dynasty, and this iron rice bowl has been passed down for almost one hundred and fifty years." ”

One hundred and fifty years is not long in the long river of history, but the dynasty has changed hands many times, and countless wonderful and brilliant people who have left history have died and perished, but this money-hungry and black-hearted prison can hold an iron rice bowl and inherit it endlessly. It's ironic to say that a bunch of big people are being thrown into a cell and under the jurisdiction of this cell boss.

"Ben Hou asks you, who are the people who have been thrown into prison these two days?"

"Anyway, they are all officials, and the villain doesn't recognize them, if the Hou Ye wants to know, the villain has a roster to give you a look!"

"I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules, Ben Hou just wants to ask you if there is a noble here?"

The cell leader shook his head again and again and said: "There are also second-grade officers, and when it comes to Xungui, there are only two people in the entire edict, you and Zhong Qinbo." ”

"Didn't you?" Ma Du frowned and said, "Could it be that I guessed wrong, really I guessed wrong......"

Watching Ma Du walk to the cell with himself muttering, the cell boss walked quickly into the room where he was usually on duty with the bag in his arms, and couldn't wait to untie the heavy bag, but he could see the contents clearly, and his face full of anticipation couldn't help twitching, and said word by word: "Ma...... Marquis...... Egg! ”

This cell head is also blind, and he doesn't look at who the old loach is, that is the person who guards the family wealth and uses rice soup to satisfy his stomach, even if his head is in the rice soup, he will not give him a bag of silver, and this bag of Songhua eggs is still begged for nothing from Lao Cui.

Madu sat on the bed, staring at the dancing flames in the stove without blinking, muttering from time to time, "I really guessed wrong, right?" ”

Lao Zhu suddenly crowned Tang He as a duke at this time, in Ma Du's view, it was a kind of appeasement to all the nobles, and he wanted to tell them that he had not forgotten their merits, although now the world is peaceful and you don't need to go into battle to fight, but I, Lao Zhu, still treat you well.

If you take it in advance, you must give it first, and then Lao Zhu can raise the butcher knife to some nobles, he wants to let the nobles know that he killed the rebels and thieves instead of loyal ministers and good generals, and maybe there are rough people who can't see the way to applaud him.

If it weren't for Madu's prophetic abilities, he would probably have joined the ranks of the rough embryos and clapped their hands together. Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu, is definitely a big conspirator, not only good at playing with power, but also good at grasping people's hearts.

Ma Du was also a little relieved to understand this, and Lao Zhu's doing this meant that he didn't plan to kill Xungui all of them. The current Lao Zhu still has to save face in general, but in the last years of Hongwu, he didn't even bother to find a reason, and directly fried the cold rice of Hu Weiyong's case. Especially when he killed Fu Youde, it was definitely a living killing, and he didn't even want a little face.

But at the moment, Lao Zhu has not operated on Xungui, did he guess wrong or did Lao Zhu change his mind?

"Master Hou! Master Hou! Outside the fence, the cell boss shouted softly.

"What's the matter?"

"Here's the thing, there are really no people in this prison, there is a key prisoner here who has just been tortured, it is not good to be locked up with others, can Master Hou live in a cell with Uncle Zhongqin."

"It's okay for you to bring Uncle Zhongqin over, he hasn't sobered up yet."

"Master Hou has a lot of them, and the villain says that you are a reasonable person."

The cell boss opened Wang Guangyang's cell door and carried Wang Guangyang in with the futon, and the key prisoner threw him in.

Ma Du wrapped Wang Guangyang in a quilt and asked the two brocade guards, "Are you still trying prisoners tonight?" I haven't slept in three nights. ”

"Master Hou can have a good rest tonight, and the trial will be suspended for the time being tonight, and the trial will continue when Hu Weiyong is caught?"

Ma Du asked in surprise: "Don't you have Hu Weiyong yet?" ”

"Not for the time being, but I can't run away from him, eighty percent is hiding in some secret room, let's all take people to find him even if they dig Hu Mansion three feet into the ground."

"Oh, it's okay, Ben Hou is going to sleep!" Ma Du lay back on the bed and wrapped himself in the quilt, and said in his heart: "No wonder you haven't done anything to Xungui yet, you haven't caught Hu Weiyong!" ”

He closed his eyes and was about to get a good night's sleep, but he heard someone in his ear say in a faint voice: "Jiang Ninghou, Jiang Ninghou ......"

Madu followed the prestige and found that it was the prisoner in the cell next door who called him, and he could barely see his appearance by the exuberant fire. His face was covered with blood and he couldn't see his facial features clearly, his upper body was shirtless, and the flesh and blood on his back were blurred, and there was no half of good flesh and skin, and when his gaze swept to this person's legs, he couldn't help but shiver even when he was lying under the covers.

The two calves were drenched in blood, the flesh was rolled, the white bones were clearly visible, and from the wounds on the edges, Madu could probably guess that this was the work of the iron brush.

"Which one are you?" Madu asked in a whisper.

"I'm Tu Jie, the Tu Jie who impeached you and imprisoned, Master Hou must hate Tu very much." Tu knot turned his face sideways, and a faint light shone through under his swollen eyelids towards Madu.

"Alas...... Looking at your appearance, no matter how big the hatred Benhou has, it will disappear. ”

"Huh...... Hou Ye looks much more comfortable than Tu, Tu and Hou Ye have no holidays, and the impeachment of Hou Ye is just instigated. ”

"It's the emperor, right?"

"Master Hou knows?"

Ma Du smiled, "What's so hard to guess about this, save some effort and don't talk, maybe you can survive until tomorrow." ”

"Tu can't wait, please save Tu from Master Hou."

Madu shook his head, "Hehe...... You think too highly of me, and even I overestimate myself, thinking that I can turn things around, but in fact I am just a pawn at the mercy of others like you. ”

"Hou Ye misunderstood, Tu just wanted Hou Ye to break the plate on the low table and reward Tu with a broken porcelain piece."

Madu nodded, got up, took the plate, broke it on the ground, took the sharpest piece of it, and threw it at Tu Jie's hand through the wooden fence.

Tu Jie seemed to be excited, and he endured the pain and held the porcelain piece tightly with his fingernailless hand, and put it as an elixir.

"Thank you Lord Hou for the reward!"

"It's not worth anything, it's just a good deed!"

Watching Tu Jie use all his strength to slash at his neck with a porcelain piece, Ma Du couldn't help but sigh: "Can make people burst out of survival power when they seek death, Jinyiwei is very capable!" ”
