Chapter 102: Prison Visit
Jinyiwei's prison was originally built underground without sunlight, and the place where felons like Lin Feng were held were located at the innermost end of the prison, and the environment was even worse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is dark and damp, there is no sunlight for many years, the difference between day and night is not obvious here, no matter when you come in, you need a light to see it.
The night wind howled, blew through the air holes, and made bursts of whimpering sounds, like ghosts crying. Heart-rending howls and cries drifted down the wind, accompanied by the rhythmic jingle of the keys in the cell boss's hand, making it easy to feel a sense of confusion about leaving the world and entering the underworld. The dim and unknown road in front of me that seems to have no end is the path of yin and yang, and if you keep walking past, you can see King Yama.
Even a well-known hard-nosed hero in the rivers and lakes has to shed his skin after being punished by Jinyiwei. The voice of shouting pain and even calling for mother's mother repeatedly tortured Lin's nerves. Her mouth was closed tightly, and the lantern in her hand trembled, and the light shook with the shaking of her arm, which made the path even more eerie.
The further you go inside, the more clearly you hear the shouts, and some of the voices sound familiar, probably someone you know. Under the ambivalence of wanting to see acquaintances and being afraid of seeing acquaintances, Lin didn't even dare to look at both sides.
She had attacked the manors of large families with pirates before, and also occupied coastal counties, and had seen the water dungeon of the county yamen or the landlord's house, thinking that hell on earth was nothing more than that, and the so-called psychological preparation also came from this. But it wasn't until this time that she realized that it was possible to build a cellar under the eighteenth layer of hell.
"Fan Jin, you can't die well!"
"The surname Fan, I'll kill your whole family!"
There are more and more cries like this, and the owners of these voices are known to the Lin family. Usually they are good men with strong martial arts, but now they know what situation they have fallen into when they listen to the voice. The smell of blood, feces and other smells in the air mixed together, making her, who has always been able to endure hardships, frown secretly, and you can imagine what kind of life people live in this environment.
The cursed words are very vicious, the scolding person gritted his teeth and had the courage to eat his flesh and sleep his skin, if the person can rush out, I am afraid that Fan Jin is now dead and there is not even a scum left. As a pirate, the Lin clan has heard a lot of similar curses, and there are more vicious ones, usually issued by the victims, as the initiator of the curse, but it is rare.
The pirates, who had always believed in the principle of not shouting if they could do it, preferred to teach their opponents a lesson with their weapons rather than to the gods of labor, and the more they scolded, the more they proved that they had nothing to do with this scholar except to curse and curse.
The whip in the hand of the cell boss is like having eyes, and it is drawn through the fence, and every shot will not fail, and whoever scolds fiercely, the leather whip will fall on whom. Fan Jin said with a smile: "Don't be so troublesome, whoever scolds fiercely, it's good if you don't eat tomorrow." ”
"Fan Gongzi is high, but they are now supposed to have one meal every two days, these gang of killers, eat so little and scold so much, it seems that the rations still have to be reduced."
Qiang Qiang ......
Several crisp and melodious knife pulls sounded beside Lin, and the brocade official school with the saber reminded the visitors not to be overwhelmed. Around the Lin family, more than a dozen tall and sturdy men surrounded her, judging from her breath and momentum, everyone who got it to the rivers and lakes could be called a master.
Sabao arranged this meeting, naturally no mistakes were allowed, every guard was an elite of his subordinates, no matter how much the Lin clan could fight, he would suffer a loss if he fought with so many people alone. Looking at these entourages beside him, Lin couldn't help but secretly thank Fan Jin for his arrangement. If it weren't for the change of men's clothes, if it wasn't for making yourself look like this, you might not be able to get out today.
When he came to the deepest part of this dark road, the cell boss stopped, pointed to a cell at the end, and said, "This is it, but you can only see through the door, and you can't go in." Fan Jin handed over a piece of silver, he wanted to shirk it, but Fan Jin turned his face on the contrary, "Etiquette cannot be abolished, this is what the sage said, we can't do it against the sage, take it well." ”
The cell boss smiled and took the initiative to step aside, and the guards also retreated slightly, but the knives were all in their hands, and as long as the Lin clan had a tendency to rob the prison, they would pounce on it and chop it into minced meat. The fence of the cell is extremely strong, and there are few gaps, and if you think about it, you can know that there will not be much food passed in from this gap, and the pig's head meat in Lin's arms is destined not to be handed in.
It was pitch black in the cell, and one could not see the inside clearly, and one could smell a disgusting stench as soon as one leaned over it, worse than the smell of Fang Cai. Originally, the weather in Guangdong was mainly hot and humid, and the dungeon obviously made this situation even worse. The potholes on the ground are full of water, and the conditions in the cells will only get worse, and people in this environment, they will not see the sun all day long, and they are destined to rot and mold a little bit, and .......
Lin Shi frowned and looked at Fan Jin, who only shook his head, "No way, this kind of cell, this kind of cell, this is the condition, no matter who lives in, it is like this." ”
"I want to see my eldest brother......"
"Take the lantern yourself, don't worry, he can't die. Such an important prisoner would not let him die in the prison casually, on the contrary, he deliberately saved his life. But you must be able to understand that punishment is inevitable, so it is not very convenient for him to move now, you can look at him, as for whether he can speak, I dare not guarantee it. ”
Lin raised the lantern and looked around the cell, although the light provided by the lantern was limited, he could barely see the scene in the cell. The whole room is not very large, and there are no furniture or anything like that, including the beds. There is only a pile of grass in the corner, which roughly functions as a bed.
The lantern was faintly lit, and a mass of objects could be faintly seen. The first time he shone it over, Lin didn't believe it was a person, and quickly swept it over, and when he found that there was no trace of his eldest brother, he turned the lantern around again and shone it tightly on the object.
It was a bloody object, and no one would believe it was a person at first glance. It wasn't until she repeatedly observed for a long time that she exclaimed, "Brother Dafeng? Then the mass of flesh moved, and then it was silent again.
Although Lin Feng's body is not very tall, he is also an adult man after all, and at this time, this lump of meat is only equivalent to a child at best, not so much a human being, but more like a pile of rotten flesh there, waiting for a little bit of decay.
"Big brother! Eldest brother! It's me, I'm my little sister! Big brother, is that you? Brother Dafeng! Look at me, I'm a little sister, I'm a little sister! ”
The lantern in Lin's hand fell to the ground, and the man threw himself forward, slamming into the cell door, shaking the fence vigorously. It's okay to have a sturdy building in such a place, and even a strong man wouldn't have opened the door of his cell. Several guards did not stop her from shaking the lantern, only holding the knife and staring at Lin's movements, if she made any more drastic moves, most likely she would have to intervene.
After a few screams in succession, the man finally reacted, raised his head with great difficulty, looked at the woman outside the door, and seemed to want to move, but gave up weakly. Lin shook the fence for a while and found that it was useless, and the aperture did not disappear as she discarded the lantern, and when she turned her head to look, she saw that it was Fan Jin holding the lamp to light her. Lin's eyes widened, and his good-looking big eyes were already bloodshot, "My eldest brother's body, what do you say?" ”
"That's what the prisoner looks like, if you look at other cells, you will find that he is not the worst one, this is the death row of Jinyiwei, and if you enter here, you are basically destined to be a dead person, so there will be no good treatment. If you want them to get well, you have to send money in. In prison, everything is expensive, and the price of a piece of braised pork here will rise by 20 times, which is even cheaper. If there is money sent over, before Lin Feng asks for beheading, I can guarantee that his treatment will be better, otherwise, I can't help it. ”
"You bastard!" Lin threw a punch angrily, and Fan Jin raised his arm to block it, then blocked her other knee that slammed into her waist. The crazy woman shot quickly, Fan Jin had some difficulty parrying, and the lantern had already fallen to the ground. Several guards surrounded him, and Fan Jin hurriedly shouted: "Don't do it, she's just a little crazy, it doesn't matter." Then he shouted at the woman, "Enough! If you continue to be so crazy, I won't care about you! ”
What really stopped Lin's movements was the sound coming from the cell. Lin Feng has been severely punished in the past few days, and the maritime merchants in Guangzhou have used silver in the Jinyi Yamen, so that Lin Feng cannot be treated, and as for food and water, he can only maintain immortality, and his physical strength has always been very poor.
These few shouts almost used up all his strength. Since his teeth were basically pulled out, the words he shouted were indistinct, and people couldn't hear what he said clearly, but Lin's fists and feet stopped abruptly after these shouts.
Sweat oozed from his forehead, his breathing became short and rapid, and perhaps the wound on his body that had been stitched up burst open again in the frantic movement just now. His eyes looked directly at Fan Jin, the lantern in the latter's hand had been knocked out, and the passage was lit by torches on the wall and lanterns of the guards. In the flickering lights, Fan Jin's face flickered brightly and darkly, sometimes like a human, sometimes like a ghost.
After a long time, Lin suddenly let out a sigh of relief and hugged Fan Jin's fist. "I'm sorry, it's me who was too impulsive, offended, and I hope Fan Gongzi won't be surprised. I've seen what I should see, I guess I can go, right? ”
"It's very difficult for you to meet once, and even if the Sa Protector arranges such a meeting, it will be under a lot of pressure. You're just going to go, not talking a little more? ”
"There's nothing to talk about, I've already seen what I should see, and the rest just don't want to see it. If I keep watching, maybe I'll go crazy again, but I'll go ahead. ”
She turned her head and shouted towards the cell: "Brother Dafeng, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you and won't let you suffer inside." The little sister is useless, there is no way to fight a bloody way to save you, so she can only use gold and silver treasures to buy you a peace. No matter how much you hate me in the future, I must do the same...... I'm sorry, I really can't help it. ”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, her sleeves wiped her face indiscriminately, and then grabbed Fan Jin's arm, leaning on his shoulder, sliding down weakly. Fortunately, Fan Jin held her waist in time so that she didn't let her fall, and then took the person out of the dungeon in this way of dragging.
It was already the fourth watch, and several brocade guards carried lamps and candles as the guide and sent the two back to Fan's house. When people arrived outside the small courtyard, they saw a faint light swaying back and forth in the night breeze, and walked a few steps, but saw Liang Pandi, who was dressed in a strong suit, standing at the door with a lantern in one hand and a knife in the other, I don't know how long he had been standing. Several brocade guards said goodbye and left, Fan Jin walked a few steps over to take the lantern and said, "Third sister, have you waited all night?" ”
"Call me a lady. You are my father-in-law, and you didn't come back so late, of course you have to wait as a wife. Besides, don't you want me to wait for you in this dress? Liang Pandi took advantage of the moment of hugging Fan Jin to smell him, and made sure that there was no Lin family's medicinal smell, so he was relieved. whispered: "Second sister, they have already slept, and Xianggong will also go to sleep for a while." There are few rooms in this courtyard, and I am afraid that I will be wronged by Miss Lin. ”
"I didn't ...... Never mind. I just want to talk to Fan Gongzi, just borrow a place. ”
She was anti-guest, but she made the Liang family speechless, so she had to let them go to the study and stand outside to listen to the movement.
The room was lit with wax, and Lin couldn't see the color because her face and hands were dyed, but it could be seen from her eyes that her spirit was not good, and her eyes were dull. Fan Jin said: "I have to go to see Zhongcheng after dawn, hurry up and rest, I will leave first." ”
"Slow! Fan Gongzi stayed, seeing that Dazhongcheng's virtue is the best, you officials just want to see us become bereaved dogs, if I go to negotiate with him in a majestic manner, I don't have to talk about anything. Now I don't mention Dazhongcheng, just my brother, what are you going to do? ”
"What to do? This matter can't be settled now, and only after meeting Dazhong Cheng can we come up with our opinions. ”
Lin shook his head and said, "I don't care about that much, I want my eldest brother to be fine!" Did you hear that? I want my big brother to be okay! Treat him to Lang Zhong's injuries, give him meat to eat, give him medicine, and ...... You can't beat him like that again. This matter, I only fell on you, Master Fan. ”
With that, she abruptly stood up and unbuckled her belt. She was wearing a short brown worn by a man, and as soon as the belt was untied, the clothes were easily taken off, and in a few clicks, the outer clothes fell off, and then even the small clothes inside were taken off, and she stood in front of Fan Jin.
"What you men want is nothing more than wealth or astringency, and now you are here for both. If you want money, I will give you the silver, ask for people, I will follow you whatever you want me to do, as long as my eldest brother is okay, I will dispose of it. ”
