Chapter 286: Prison Visitation 2
As Zhou Qiang introduced before, there are indeed a lot of prisoners on the third floor of this prison camp, and these prisoners are scattered among the unobstructed cells.
"Whatever you see, go back and sit down!"
The guards didn't know Yuan Lang, but judging from Zhou Qiang's personal accompaniment, the person who came must not be a simple person, they led the way, and at the same time scolded the prisoners who passed through the cell, telling them to be honest.
These prisoners were like walking corpses, they mechanically returned to their places after listening to the prisoner's reprimands, never to come out again, and the darkness of the environment made those who had not seen the light of day all day look a little like ghosts.
Most of these prisoners have dull eyes and don't say a word, and some of them even emit the smell of wicked people, no wonder it is rumored that Yan Liang is imprisoned here and shouts to bathe every day, it seems that this place is indeed not a place for people.
Zhang Ning and Zhang Ruyan were inexplicably frightened when they saw these people, and Yuan Lang, who was leaning on their left and right, tightened even tighter, I really don't know which tendon was wrong, and they actually accompanied him to such a ghost place.
"How long has the longest of these people been held?"
Yuan Lang asked casually, because judging from the actions of these prisoners, it seemed that some of them had lost their ability to speak.
"Back to the lord, this is still what the old people said, the longest one has been locked up for thirty years!"
Zhou Qiang replied.
"Thirty years? Thirty years! , how many thirty years can a person have! Yuan Lang stopped and said, "What crime did that person commit and be detained for so long?" ”
Zhou Qiang was asked, he likes to ask some gossip, but he doesn't want to ask why a prisoner of thirty years was imprisoned.
Just as Zhou Qiang was in trouble, suddenly a prison guard walked over with staggering steps, and through the raging flames in the iron pot, everyone present could see that this was an old prison guard who was at least over the age of six.
Zhou Qiang seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly shouted: "Old Jiaotou, come here!" ”
The old jailer didn't seem to hear clearly, turned sideways, put his right palm half-curled up beside his right ear, and asked with difficulty: "What did you say, Zhou Tou!" ”
"I said, let you come here, the county keeper has arrived, haven't you seen it? Don't come and kowtow yet! ”
Zhou Qiang stepped forward and shouted loudly, he shouted, the four guards who led the way before finally woke up, they quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, although the four of them knew that the identity of the person who came was not simple, but they never expected that it was their county guard.
But the old Jiaotou still didn't seem to hear clearly, and stood there and replied, "What guard? Shou what? You louder! ”
Zhou Qiang's voice was already very loud, especially in such a huge underground space, the eardrums of people who were directly shocked hurt.
Yuan Lang didn't want to be embarrassed for them anymore, and motioned for Zhou Qiang to continue to lead the way, when he passed by Lao Jiaotou, Yuan Lang didn't want to alarm him, but he never thought that Lao Jiaotou raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Lang, and suddenly knelt down in fright.
"This, isn't this the county guard, why are you here, Zhou Tou, why don't you tell me, so that I can come and say goodbye!" Lao Jiaotou hurriedly kowtowed, and shouted in his mouth, "Master forgiveness, Master forgiveness!" ”
Zhou Qiang wanted to answer, but was stopped by Yuan Lang, he picked up Lao Jiaotou, and asked in surprise, "Lao Jiaotou, they don't know me, how do you know me?" ”
Lao Jiaotou said with a slight cry: "The master has to protect the balance of the county, although the little old man has only seen it once, but he will never forget it, you are the county guard!" ”
At the same time, Zhou Qiang approached Yuan Lang and whispered, "Lao Jiaotou originally had three sons, and unfortunately all of them were killed in the battle of Changshan County this time, and the city sacrifice was the coffin of his three sons buried by him personally, that is, the lord Jin Mian who saw it at that time, how to see the lord later, he came back and told us, but he didn't say a word about the death of his three sons!" ”
Yuan Lang trembled when he heard this, the great sorrow in the world is nothing more than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, and a gift is still the future pillar of the three families, what a blow this is.
Yuan Lang didn't know what words to use to comfort the old man in front of him, he had lost three sons, but he was still on duty at his post, which could not but be said to be his fault as the head of a county.
exchanged a few words with Lao Jiaotou, and then Yuan Lang and others sent the lonely old man away, and then Yuan Lang said to himself: "After this war, I don't know how many broken families like Lao Jiaotou will be, our work is still not in place, if we can't let the parents of those heroes who sacrificed their precious lives for the peace of a county get a safe old age, none of us can be considered competent!" ”
Zhang Baiqi heard the words and comforted and said: "The lord doesn't need to mind, there will always be dead and wounded in the war, as soldiers, they have long thought that this day will come, as for their parents and families, we will also have pensions, we should talk about comfort!" ”
"And who will heal the wounds of their hearts?" Yuan Lang continued indignantly, "If you have a choice, I, Yuan Lang, definitely don't want to provoke a war, if Yuan Shao is a benevolent and righteous lord who can entrust the future of the county, maybe we can entrust our own lives and the lives of the people to him, but unfortunately he is not, he is not!" ”
"Instead of pretending to others, why doesn't the lord open up a world by himself, the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, the lord shouldn't be so short-sighted!"
Zhang Baiqi was opposed to Yuan Lang's idea of comfort, why did they build the Yellow Turban Army, that is, "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand", the purpose is to overthrow the feudal ruling regime, so as to establish a new era in which the peasants are the masters of the country.
But just now, Zhang Baiqi clearly heard a signal of attachment to feudal forces from Yuan Lang's words, which was contrary to the purpose of their Yellow Turban Army.
That's right, they were rewarded by the imperial court, but in Zhang Baiqi's view, these are just temporary moves to adapt to the times, and now a force like Yuan Lang should break away from the restrictions of the imperial court and set up their own doors, and if necessary, they should expand their territory and the world's heroes for a long time, how could it become the idea of entrusting the lord of benevolence and righteousness in Yuan Lang's mouth.
I don't know if it's been separated from Yuan Lang for a long time, in short, Zhang Baiqi is a little reluctant to agree with Yuan Lang's words about the future, but he can't argue with him here and now, he can only suppress the words in his heart in the depths of his heart, thinking that one day he will have to persuade himself that the young lord is.
