Chapter 10 Talking about the jailer
For those who work all day, the night means rest, and for those who do not need to work during the day, the night is a carnival after recuperating the spirit.
It's just that the area around the county jail is very deserted, after all, this is an unfortunate place, and not many people want to approach it.
The class room was not very large, just in front of the prison number, and there were a few iron knives with sheaths on the wall, and a small oil candle was lit in the whole class room, and the prison number at the back of the class room was drowned in darkness, and from time to time there were a few low* or coughs.
The head of the cell was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a rickety waist like a dog shrimp, a black face that had not been washed for many years, a greasy and sticky braid coiled on his head, a dirty gown, one foot on a bench, and drinking a little wine.
The appetizer is also extremely simple, only a plate of boiled peanuts, but this is only half of the night, and it seems that it will not last for the second half of the night.
Chen Mu followed behind Lin Sheng, just lowered his head, carrying a food box, and secretly looked at the scene in the class room, the jailer raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of vigilance, as if he would always handle the iron knife by the wall!
At this moment, this sloppy man seemed to have unloaded all the fallouts and returned to the jailer's original figure.
Chen Mu hurriedly shrank behind Lin Sheng, but this Lin Third Master was just indifferent, and said to the jailer: "Old brother is drinking alcohol by himself again? ”
Hearing this, Chen Mu also wanted to know it, no wonder Lin Sheng was in his chest, but he was afraid that this jailer was also familiar with each other.
Sure enough, the jailer laughed and said: "I said that I got up early, and a magpie was chirping on the wall, it turned out that the third master was coming over, and it really came true!" ”
The jailer came to greet him, stretched out his hand to pull Lin Sheng's wrist, paused, but wiped the stool with his cuffs and made a gesture of please.
Lin Sheng smiled and said to Chen Mu: "Don't put the appetizers on the table yet!" ”
Chen Mu lowered his head at this time, put the food box on the table, and put the sauce pork knuckle and roast chicken in it, as well as some crisp and refreshing pickles, all on the table.
Chen Mu secretly glanced at it, and the jailer's eyes were also shining, but he just glanced at Chen Mu, which made Chen Mu's heart beat wildly, after all, he was a wanted criminal, but he was not an ordinary person!
However, Lin Sheng knew that the jailer belonged to the jailer, the patrol returned to the patrol, and the jailer stayed in the county jail all day, and other things were not under their control.
These people do not see the light of day, they are "imprisoned" with the prisoners, where do they care about what happens outside.
"Don't be surprised by the old brother, the newcomer to the family is not familiar with it." Lin Sheng said casually, sat down, took the wine jug from Chen Mu's hand, and poured a bowl for the jailer.
The jailer withdrew his eyes, smiled, bared his black teeth, and said to Lin Sheng: "Where is the third master, I think this posterior is white and beautiful, not like a subordinate who summons his hands and feet, but like a son-in-law of which family......"
The jailer has read countless people, although he just said it casually, but for Chen Mu, when was it not a worry?
Lin Sheng waved his hand and smiled at the jailer: "It's still the old brother's sharp eye, this is a distant cousin, come to Xinhui to play for a few days, I heard that ...... Ahem......"
Lin Sheng coughed like this, but the jailer who was going to drink put down the wine bowl and said to Lin Sheng: "The third master won't be ......."
Lin Sheng smiled and said: "This time it's not for me, but to find someone for this cousin who can serve food and shelter, brother, don't look at me like that." ”
The jailer suddenly frowned: "Third Master, it's okay to be plain, but this time the female prisoners are all ...... It's all from the Chen family, and the case hasn't been finalized yet, so I'm afraid it's not easy to ......."
When Chen Mu heard this, he also suddenly realized.
He had been thinking about what kind of method Lin Sheng should use to handle this matter, but he didn't expect to borrow such a reason.
Although there was no slavery at that time, the slaves and maids of the rich and noble families were all hired long-term or short-term workers, but they were not much different from slaves and maids.
Many rich and noble families like to come to prison, if there are some women who are not seriously responsible, they can be ransomed and bought, put at home as slaves and maids to call, and some people buy back to be wives, and the jailers are also accustomed to reap the benefits from it.
Seeing that the jailer was embarrassed, Lin Sheng didn't think so, but just smiled: "Old brother, you know, I, Lin Sanya, am the golden envoy, and one is one, if the case is decided, I won't come yet." ”
"The case of the Chen family is certainly big, but these long and short helpers in the Chen family are all subordinates, one more and one less, where will the top take care of these many things, Lin San understands the rules inside, and he will never embarrass the old brother."
As soon as Lin Sheng said this, he took out a silver ingot from his waist, and without twisting it, he put it on the table openly.
"This is a deposit, to be done, there is a heavy reward, my cousin is from Foshan, that is to see the world, ordinary goods can not enter his eyes......"
At this time, the silver of the imperial court is used as compensation, silver is extremely rare, one or two silver can buy more than 100 catties of the finest rice, ordinary people are very difficult to see even broken silver, Lin Sheng's shot is quite generous.
What Lin Sheng said was not leaky, and Chen Mu was also in admiration in his heart, but this jailer was vigilant, and he didn't come to take the silver, but just asked Lin Sheng.
"Since this son's family is so wide, why do you have to come to the prison to find someone to serve?"
When Chen Mu heard this, his heart was also tight, and he said that Lin Sheng could be regarded as having exhausted his means, but who knew that this jailer was so difficult.
However, Lin Sheng is rolling in the rivers and lakes in the end, all kinds of scenes, the three sects and nine streams have all made friends, even if they can't buy true feelings, this experience is real, and he immediately laughed.
"That's not right, brother, although I, Lin San, am not very rich, but I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and occasionally have extra money to drink and play, and the women in the family are also good, but don't I also go to play in the saltwater village?"
"Everyone loves each other, and my nephew's family does have a family affair, and the family is still a scholarly family, but this girl has entered the foreigner school, followed the foreign missionary to learn Western, dressed indecently, and went in and out of the dance and poetry party all day long, and had a lively time with those foreigners, where can my nephew stand it, and this came to me."
"I'm also used to seeing the so-called lady show, this isn't like I want to find someone who is obedient and can be supported at will, isn't it?"
Lin Sheng's lips and tongue were exhausted, although on the surface the clouds were light and light, but with this inconspicuous jailer, it can be said that it was an inner confrontation, and Chen Mu, who was new to the world, was an eye-opener.
Speaking of this, the jailer finally loosened, but he still didn't stretch out his hand towards the silver, Lin Sheng saw this, so he hit the railroad while it was hot: "Old brother still can't believe Lin Sancheng?" Regardless of whether this thing is successful or not, this silver is collected, although I, Lin San, am not rich, but when have I ever spared the silver in my hand, my brother didn't know me Lin on the first day, this case is certainly not small, but you are so afraid of it, you just look down on Lin! ”
The jailer finally smiled and said, "The third master said this, and it would be hypocritical for the brother to twist it." ”
After simply putting the silver into the bag, the jailer stood up and said to Chen Mu: "You come with me, can you pick it up, look at your eyes, if you pick it up and take it away, you can't blame me......
Chen Mu was also interested, and immediately hugged his fists and said, "Thank you!" ”
The jailer saw that Chen Mu understood the rules so well, and he also laughed: "If you are really a son who has seen the world, you are comfortable in the world, and come and come!" ”
With that, he took Chen Mu into the prison barn.
This county prison is not big, so the male and female prisons are just one place, but there is still a partition in the middle, but the women's prison has fewer rooms, and it is crowded inside, and it is impossible to see the face clearly.
Although the jailer raised the fire, the female prisoner was frightened, and hid in the corner one by one, and did not show her face, but she all shrank back, and she couldn't even see her figure clearly.
After all, it is the servant of the Chen family, Chen Mu is also worried about being recognized, and even more worried that these slaves and maids will exclaim and expose his identity, so he only hid behind the jailer, shook his head blindly, and said to the jailer: "Poor master, you can't see the real chapter like this, is there any steward of the Chen family in prison, bring it up and let me ask, the housekeeper is afraid of things, and he also wants to get out, so he can tell me a few people who are beautiful and have no temper!" ”
The jailer is also impatient, after all, the wine and meat are waiting on the table, taking people's money to do things for others, if he doesn't do it beautifully this time, he will undoubtedly cut off his own financial route, not to mention that Lin Sanye is famous for being kind and generous, where is it easy to offend.
Thinking like this, the jailer gritted his teeth and said to Chen Mu, "Then you will come with me." ”
When Chen Mu heard this, he was also overjoyed, and he also lost the dimness of the cell, otherwise the surprise look on his face would have betrayed him.
After a few steps, Chen Mu followed to the room at the end, and heard the jailer say: "This is the old housekeeper of the Chen family, but he is not afraid of things, if you can't ask, don't blame." ”
Chen Mu looked at it, it was really Hebo, and his heart was also excited, and he said to the jailer: "Poor master, relax." ”
The jailer nodded, then jingle the bell and picked up the key, opened the cell door, and let Chen Mu in.
The room was stuffy and cramped, and the smell of feces came to his nose, which made Chen Mu sneeze.
Chen Mu said to the jailer with some embarrassment: "This smell is really bad, it is better to wait outside, I will go in and ask a few words and come out, so as not to affect the interest of the poor master in drinking wine and eating meat......"
The jailer was also anxious, and said to Chen Mu: "If the son is really sensible, then I will not be polite." ”
With that, he handed over the candle flame in his hand to Chen Mu and walked to the class room by himself.
Chen Mu held the candle flame, but his hands couldn't help but tremble.
After going around and around, I finally have to see Uncle He, and I don't know if Uncle He knows the inside story that Chen Mu wants, whether he can do it for his father and brother, and whether he can succeed depends on tonight!
