Chapter 201: Grass and Human Life

"Untie his bracelets and shackles. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Jia Lian had already known that he had been imprisoned for five days, and no one had ever come, so he was no different from an ordinary prisoner.

Perhaps for ordinary people, such a day has not changed much, and even for some poor families who are hungry, such treatment is still a luxury. But for a person like Pei Yanqing, who has been pampered all his life, in addition to being a great shame, the torment of his heart can also be seen.

Although the snow-white hair was messy after all, it could be seen that it had been carefully combed, and there were still a few straws on it, and his face was haggard. The prison uniforms he wore were so old that they were so dirty that they couldn't even be colored.

Quietly, after Jia Lian learned about the living environment in the prison, he admired the strict self-discipline of this person.

The ventilation in the prison is not good, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter now, Pei Yanqing can still smell a strong sour smell from afar.

Puzzled, Jia Lian stretched out his hand and motioned for Pei Yanqing to sit down, but his heart was even more puzzled.

The Pei family is now considered a big family, why hasn't anyone come in to visit? No matter how bad it is, you have to do it up and down, but this outfit is really down.

At this time, the prison was not as humane as later generations, and if the prison uniforms inside were not dotted, they were basically worn by others. Some of them are not even necessarily taken from death row inmates.

Even if it's not, some of them are inevitably contaminated with germs and the like. Therefore, generally a good person, as long as he goes to prison for a few days, he will have to shed his skin if he does not die.

And Pei Yanqing, seeing this, Jia Lian still has a very good impression of him.

In such an environment, he saw that he was so calm and relaxed, and his mental quality was really good.

While Jia Lian looked at Pei Yanqing, Pei Yanqing was also looking at him.

Kneeling on the ground and saluting Jia Lian, Pei Yanqing looked respectful. The jailer informed Jia Lian of his title when he mentioned him, but he didn't expect Jia Lian to be so young.

Pei Yanqing didn't know that the auction in Kyoto was from Jia Lian's hand, but he quickly calmed down.

His anger when he first entered the prison had been sharpened by these five days of darkness.

Just like the paper in Jia Lian's hand, the Pei family can reach today's status, and their hands are not clean. It's just that the people who captured them were too fast, and they kept their mouths tight, and the jailers in the prison had their mouths so tightly slit, that he didn't even know why he had come in.

It's too much to say, so he doesn't dare to speak.

Motioning for Pei Yanqing to sit down opposite, Jia Lian unhurriedly took out an empty cup in the tray and poured it full of tea, and then sent it to Pei Yanqing.

Pei Yanqing was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in thanks, picked up the tea and slowly sipped it with half-squinted eyes.

The aroma of tea is tangy, the entrance is slightly bitter, and the slightly hot liquid wraps the entire tip of the tongue, and finally, it flows to his throat in his reluctance.

The water in the prison is only served once a day in the morning and evening, and it is not drunk at other times. And the water is just ordinary well water, dirty and unwashed dishes, and there are usually straw, dust and even insect corpses floating on it.

Compared with the delicate and delicious delicacies in the past, Pei Yanqing felt that the unknown cup of tea he was holding at this time was so delicious.

Jia Lian was not in a hurry, waiting for Pei Yanqing to reluctantly drink all the tea in the cup, and then pointed to the things on the table.

"What do you have to say to me, Mr. Pei?"

Pei Yanqing was stunned for a moment, looking at the things on the table and not reacting for a while.

Although he had already seen these things on the table just now, he didn't think about the connection with himself for a while.

With Jia Lian's permission, Pei Yanqing reached out and picked up the things on the table and looked through them one by one.

As time passed, the look on Pei Yanqing's face became more and more ugly, and his hands began to tremble slightly in disobedience.

Jia Lian was not in a hurry, he still drank the cup of tea in his hand slowly, and refilled Pei Yanqing's cup with water without interjecting to ask.

After hastily looking through all the things on the table, Pei Yanqing's face was already extremely pale, and his body trembled.

Raising his head, with bitterness in his voice, Pei Yanqing stared at Jia Lian's eyes tightly.

"Master Jia, if I say that my Pei family has not done this, can you believe it?"

It is difficult to say word by word, Pei Yanqing knows that if someone else says this to him, I am afraid that he himself will not believe it.

With a faint smile, Jia Lian didn't speak, thought about it seriously, and then said slowly.

"I'll believe half of it."

If it weren't for the conclusive evidence, at least he wouldn't believe that the Pei family would build salt fields privately and sell illicit salt in the name of official salt dealers.

The account book on the table is the Pei family's salt production records in the salt factory, and the Pei family's actual sales records. Among them, the ratio of purchases to shipments is one to three. In addition, there is an account book, which records that the Pei family spent a lot of money to get the salt transportation documents, and the salt was taken from Hudu to the southern country of Bashu in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

The Bashu in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Dadu mountainous area in the south of the Yangtze River are rich in land and resources, but 60% of the salt consumption is provided by other provinces.

Therefore, although there are already two dealers in the Bashu area, and Jia Lian's later generations have sent people to develop it as soon as possible because they know that there is a salt lake in that area, the business opportunities in the middle are still amazing.

A small half of the salt produced in the salt pans on the isolated island of Hudu is circulated in the Hudu market, and most of the rest is shipped there.

It's just such a private thing, just with those people in Ying Tianfu, it is so easy to get it, don't you think it's weird?

Kneeling in front of Jia Lian with a "poof", Pei Yanqing kowtowed heavily.

"My lord Mingjian, although I, Pei Yanqing, am not a good person, and there are indeed two unsuccessful people in the family, but this private construction of salt fields and the sale of illegal salt have not been done."

Pei Yanqing is a smart person, of course he knows that he said this in front of the evidence. And the steward in the Hudu area was the steward he brought up, but the day before the Pei family was arrested, this steward had disappeared.

If Pei Yanqing didn't know what was going on before, it was clear now, but it was too late.

Compared with him, Pei Yongnian's powerful position is simply not worth mentioning. But he was able to foresee danger without even knowing it, and escaped first. If there is nothing to say in the middle, then he will feel that there is a ghost.

But so much time had passed, and he was only now reacting to it, but it was too late.

Pei Yongnian is not an idiot, such a long time is enough for him to hide tightly, and no one can find it.

The next time is Pei Yanqing's self-reported time, and Pei Yanqing confessed to some of the facts on the paper and the account book. For example, seizing the lives of the people's women and grass Kan.

It is a descendant of the Pei family who forcibly occupied the people's daughter, and it is said that it is forcibly occupied, but in fact, it is not true.

At least in Jia Lian's ears, Jia Lian didn't think it was so serious, at most it was ...... dug up the corner of someone's wall and robbed someone's fiancée.

As for the grass and human life, Pei Yanqing threw Jia Lian a big baked cake.
