Chapter 464: Mandarin Ducks Folded Their Wings
In the land of Daming, everyone who is in prison, life is not very good, relatively speaking, the prison environment in Shangyuan County is relatively much better, Fan Jin after taking office, he focused on cracking down on the behavior of the jailers to extort money from prisoners, and the person in charge of the prison is Guan Qing's henchman. Guan Qing's income originally came from Fan Jin and not from the prison, and the income from bad rules and the like was not eye-catching, and he acted completely according to Fan Jin's wishes, regardless of those rules, because the jailers had no source of extra money.
These men were hereditary errands like the officials, and even if an enterprising official dismissed them, they were inherited by their sons, and there was nothing to fear, and the magistrates could not restrain them in anything. But Guan Qing is such a hardcore henchman is their top boss and a good boxer, these officials can't beat Guan Qing, and they can't win over them, and they will be pulled up by Fan Jin to beat the board and then fined, and finally most of the jailers went home to recuperate in anger, ready to consume the magistrate and come back.
Shangyuan Prison was short of seventy percent when it was the most tense, and the current prison guards were all recruited, including some of Feng Mingqi's registered apprentices, and some of Shangyuan's ordinary young people. These people have no interests and interests with the old jailer, they are not systematic, they all obey Guan Qing's orders, and they are reliable under Fan Jin's henchmen, and the entire prison is held in Fan Jin's hands.
For example, this time Luo Wu went to prison, I don't know how many gentry outside wanted to buy his life, many people took the silver out and wanted to clean up Luo Wu in the prison, but they found that Shangyuan Prison was actually an iron wall, and water could not be splashed. Not only could he not retaliate against Luo Wu, but he could not even find out about his situation.
If there are gentry who can enter the cell at this time, and when they see Luo Wu's situation, most of them will quarrel with Fan Jin or even sue him. The main initiator and leader of this slavery did not suffer a heavy sentence, and although the cell where he lived was still cold and damp, there was enough straw under him, and he was not too sad inside. What was put in front of him was not a prison meal that was difficult to swallow, but a good new rice, plus a few pieces of braised pork and a bowl of egg drop soup, which was considered a very good meal in the homes of ordinary people in Jiangning City.
Luo Wu did not wear too heavy torture equipment on his body, because it was not necessary. His martial arts are strong, and if he is one-on-one, he is probably on par with Xue Sufang. After Feng Mingqi subdued him, in order to prevent accidents, he deliberately broke his hamstrings, and he has become a waste, so he no longer needs to wear heavy flails, and eating is not a problem.
He looked at the food, and then at the strange woman outside the cell door. This woman is about twenty years old, and she is a beautiful woman with a neat head, but she really doesn't know her. And looking at her appearance, she looked haggard and miserable, and she didn't look flattering, and she was not Ma Xianglan's subordinate, which made him even more strange.
Luo Wu knew that he should die at this time, but his heart was like water, and his voice was very calm: "Woman, you can go to the prison to prove that you have something to do with Fan Jin, but why do you want to bring me food?" This meal without wine proves that it is not a beheading meal, and it is a pity to give such a good meal to the dying person. The way I am now, whatever you want to ask for, I can't help you anymore. ”
The woman shook her head and said, "I'm not here to beg you, I'm just here to thank you." Actually, I can't repay you anything, sending a meal to a benefactor is all I can do. ”
"Thank me for what?"
"If it weren't for the benefactor, I would still be locked up in his house by Feng Bangning now, and I would be practiced by him and Huang Jien! They are not people, they are beasts! ”
When the woman said this, her hands clenched unconsciously, "I heard that Engong specializes in killing animals, so I want to come to thank you and send some food." ”
Luo Wu looked at her and nodded, "You're right, they are all beasts, and they are beasts that want to eat people." If we want not to be eaten, we have to kill them all. It's a pity that Feng Bangning ran away, and I can't kill him. ”
"It doesn't matter, the slave family is very grateful to be able to do this, and someone will kill those beasts in the future, and they will definitely ......"
Luo Wudao: "This lady, your eyes are a little like me now. If I hadn't been caught, because of your eyes, I might have taught you some martial arts, and if I had learned them, you wouldn't have been bullied. It's a pity it's too late now. I thought that this slave change, everyone in the whole Jiangning would hate me and scold me for wanting to eat my meat, but I didn't expect that there would be a woman who could say thank you to me and see me off, which is also fate. Can you let me know your name so I can know whose meal I ate? ”
"Slave Jin Yu Slave, Jingshi ......"
When Jin Yunu walked out of the cell, Zheng Chan was waiting for her at the door, and it was precisely because of Zheng Chan's relationship that she was able to enter the cell to deliver food to Luo Wu. In addition to copying a large amount of gold and silver from Feng Bangning's house, the officials sent by Fan Jin to raid the house also rescued all the women he was holding in the house.
Most of the women were from Jiangning, and after being captive, in addition to being possessed by Feng Bangning, some of them were rewarded to his subordinates after he got tired of playing, and this time he finally got out of the sea of suffering. Fan Jin arranged for a messenger to bring them home with gold and silver, compensated them with money, and promised them that if they were discriminated against and bullied at home, they could return to Shangyuan County at any time, and the government would arrange a way out for them and take care of everything.
However, there were also a few women who were captured by Feng Bangning along the way, and they couldn't be sent back for the time being, so they had to be arranged to live in the yamen. The daughter of the beggar near Jingshi, Hong Da'an's wife Jin Yunu, is also in this ranks.
Although she is the daughter of a beggar, those beggars block the road and rob a lot of savings, and Jin Yunu has not actually suffered any crimes, which is similar to the small family Jasper. In addition, her own cultivation is very good, and her temperament is not lost to the housewife of a large family, and even after being destroyed by Feng Bangning many times, she still maintains this unyielding temperament, and she has not sunk like an ordinary woman, and she can give up all her dignity in order to survive. It is precisely because of this that Feng Bangning regarded it as the most ideal plaything, so he took it all the way to Jiangning, and even exchanged her for Huang Jien's wife.
Because there are too many things about Fan Jin, Zheng Chan and Xue Wu are actually responsible for the questioning and placement of these women. Because of the same experience and the fact that they are both from Beijing, Zheng Chan is very close to her and has given a lot of care. The few women who also stayed in the mansion were treated the best by Jin Yunu.
After a few days of contact, the two became friends, and Zheng Chan felt that there was no one to talk to in the inner house, so he gave Jin Yunu extra preferential treatment, and the sisters were commensurate. Jin Yunu received Fan Jin's great kindness, and naturally he was very grateful to Zheng Chan. Jin Yunu is also a well-behaved character, after all, he was born in a family comparable to a robber's den, although he reads and learns calligraphy, and lives like a lady, he actually does not lack an understanding of the sinister rivers and lakes. Especially after this accident, I know more about the difficulty of survival and the unpredictability of people. While the other women were still waiting in the yamen, she had already learned how to help Zheng Chan in the kitchen and begged for life carefully.
While the two were busy preparing wine and food, they were gossiping, and Jin Yunu suddenly took out a projectile from his personal purse and handed it to Zheng Chan:
"Sister Chan, do you know this projectile? The little sister picked it up in the yard, I didn't know that we would have this thing in the house. ”
Zheng Chan pursed his lips, grabbed the projectile and threw it out casually! "Don't touch this, it's too dirty. How do you cook after touching it? Of course, this thing belongs to our inner house, and it's not that Xue Wu Mazi? It's the little slut who has always been tired of being by the master's side these days. She was born in a hospital, and she was very pickled, and even the things she used were just as dirty. She is known as what is the martial champion, she can play a good slingshot, especially a bead bullet, I heard that when the master went to Beijing to catch the exam, she broke up a lot of bandits with a slingshot. You will see her be careful in the future, this kind of woman from the academy has the worst mind, and she is also the most shameless, beware of learning badly...... What's wrong with your face? Why is it so ugly? ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, the little sister just doesn't feel very comfortable. Jin Yunu's body shook. took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his face, and took the opportunity to turn his body around, only turning his back to Zheng Chan. His hand gripped the sachet tightly, and there were two more projectiles there, two of which had been taken from his father's eyes, exactly the same as the ones he had picked up in the inner house.
originally thought it was just a coincidence, but at this time it was determined that the male owner of the family was the culprit who blinded his father that day, killed the old man, and beat the entire village to the point that it no longer exists. And Xue Wu is his father-killing enemy
If it weren't for the death of his father and the scattering of the village, he would not have been able to enter Beijing with Hong Lang, and he would not have been taken captive by the strongman, insulted by the wicked, and separated from his husband and son. But if it weren't for them, he wouldn't have been able to get out of the sea of suffering, and now he would still be ruined by Feng Bangning's people. Is this family their benefactor or an enemy...... She couldn't say it herself.
Zheng Chan came over at this time and asked a few words with concern, but Jin Yunu had to fight her spirits and said that she was fine, but she just missed her husband and son. Zheng Chan comforted her a few words, and asked her about giving birth to two sons, and couldn't help praising her for being blessed, what is even more rare is that after giving birth to two sons in a row, her figure has not been out of shape, Jin Yunu's heart is in a mess, and she doesn't care about greeting her, so she only copes a few words indiscriminately.
At this moment, Fan Jin's voice came in, "Chan'er, didn't I say it, you don't have to do this kind of rough work, just give the cooking to the girl, and make me look for it." ”
"Only I know what the owner likes to eat, and I don't feel at ease when I hand it over to others." Zheng Chan said and walked outside, Jin Yunu looked at Zheng Chan's appearance, as if he saw himself a few years ago. When I first met Xianggong, it wasn't like this. But now...... Do you want to return it yourself?
She knows her husband very well, he is a scholar who abides by etiquette, if she knows that she is lost to others, and it is still two, and the situation is prosperous together, will she still want herself? But Zheng Chan, who has a similar experience to herself, can get the favor of a county parent official, although she has no name, but the situation is similar to that of husband and wife, why is her fate so bad?
Thousands of thoughts turned in my heart, my mind was like a mess, and my thoughts were confused. It wasn't until Zheng Chan shook her shoulders that Jin Yunu looked over as if she had just woken up from a dream, but saw that Fan Jin had already walked in and looked at her and asked, "I heard Chan'er say that your husband is also from Guangdong?" Is it a big fellow countryman with me? ”
"Yes."
"I haven't asked about that, but I don't know where he lives?"
"Nanhai, Jinsha Township."
"This is not a big fellow countryman, but a real fellow countryman, but I don't know the noble surname of the noble husband?"
"The clumsy husband's surname is Hong, and his name is Da'an."
Fan Jin was silent for a moment, and suddenly saluted again, "It turned out to be my sister-in-law's face, Fan was rude, Chan'er quickly took my sister-in-law to change clothes, Brother Hong and I also have some origins, this is not an outsider." What's the matter, Brother Hong is now in Jingshi? Where does this start, since you have arrived, you should go to the Guangdong Hall, and you won't let your sister-in-law suffer such grievances. ”
Zheng Chan took the overwhelmed Jin Yunu to change clothes, and Fan Jin showed a smile on his face, the former opponent was now in his opinion, in fact, he couldn't even count as an ant. In fact, hatred can no longer be discussed. But with Jin Yunu in hand, you can find Hong Da'an, and after meeting, it is easy to make a break, and cutting grass must be eradicated after all to rest assured.
He looked at the kitchen knife on the board, lifted the handle and cut it casually, and whispered: "Huang Enhou is finished, not to mention you Hong Da'an, now in my eyes, you are the meat on this board, the knife is in my hand, how to cut and chop, I have the final say." The family should be neat and tidy, your surname is so miserable, it's not good for you to enjoy the happiness so much, there should always be difficulties together. ”
Capital.
In the dimly lit small room, Zhang Dashou looked at the young scholar opposite, and said with some regret: "Tell me about you, it's not good for a scholar to do something, why do you have to take this road." Before, I saw that you were dying of hunger, so I kindly gave you two meals, and your kid was willing to repay the favor and write for me, which is very good. And then help me manage the accounts is also very loyal, as long as you work hard, our family can't afford to take care of your food? Why do you have to enter the palace? If our family doesn't agree to you, you will go to find Xiaodao Liu by yourself, and come to a prelude after chopping, what do you say? It's not as good as you think in the palace, and life is not easy. ”
The scholar knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation, "The student has made up his mind, and he is not afraid of how much he suffers." ”
"Hey, it's like this anyway, it's too late to say anything. After all, it is fate for us to meet, and if you are willing to worship me as a godfather, I will fulfill you once and take you into the palace. It is rare for scholars to be godsons to our eunuchs, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener for them. Don't use your original surname, follow my surname Zhang, and make your own name. ”
"Thank you for the name. The son has already thought about it, and the son wants to name it whale. ”
"Whales? What's the point? ”
"Back to my father's words, the whale is the king of fish, and he just serves the true dragon emperor."
Zhang Dashou was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. "This scholar speaks interestingly, with any name, and so many talking heads. You are so good to be the emperor, and you still serve the Son of Heaven? Let's boil it slowly, stay up to the age of my godfather, and then have me to cultivate it, so that you can serve the Son of Heaven. ”
"Thank you for your father-in-law!"
