Chapter 49: The Father and the Son
In the prison of the government office, it was dark and damp, and a few oil lamps were placed on both sides of the aisle, and more than a dozen cells were divided into two columns. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ye Shaolong and Ye's father were locked in the innermost cell, and there was only an old jailer lying on a broken wooden table resting outside, and there were no other guards.
According to the theory, Ye Shaolong and Ye Shoufu are also important prisoners, and they will definitely not be so lax guards. Now it will be like this, which is naturally Dolha's ulterior motives.
Ye Shaolong and Father Ye were both changed into prison clothes at this moment, and the scenery exuded by the cloak had long since disappeared. Ye Shaolong looked at his father, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Dad, I didn't know that the child used to know, but it turns out that your old man is also quite fat!" Ye Shaolong looked at his father's funny look, and couldn't hold back his laughter for a while.
Ye Shoufu glanced at his son angrily, and said with an angry smile: "You kid, you are getting more and more uneducated, and even your father dares to make fun of him." ”
At this moment, although Ye Shoufu was imprisoned, he didn't see that he was lonely at all, but he was still as calm as usual.
Ye Shaolong looked at his father, but he knew that his heart was definitely not as calm as it appeared on the surface, so he put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Dad, do you think we will be dragged to behead this time." ”
"No!" Ye Shoufu replied very simply.
After a pause, he saw Ye Shoufu explain: "Although we are now guilty of committing crimes in the hands of these thirteen princes, we also have official ranks, and he can't dispose of us at will." However, our Ye family's industry may not be able to be saved, and I don't know if the Tang family will be implicated at that time. ”
Ye Shaolong hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart: "Dad, have you hugged the thighs of any prince and nobleman in the capital in the past two years?" ”
Ye Shaolong is not worried about anything else now, the only thing that is nervous is this. As long as Dad has someone in the capital, it will be easy for the Ye family to be rehabilitated.
When asked about his sore spots, Ye Shoufu's face couldn't help but change slightly: "This ...... No! ”
Things have come to this point, and Ye Shoufu also felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, and then he also told Ye Shaolong everything he had done in the capital in the past two years.
The latter fell silent after learning that his father had not hugged any of the princes and ministers in the capital. He couldn't figure it out, when he bought the title of general from his father, Ye Shaolong repeatedly explained. But he still couldn't believe that his father didn't care about it, just stupidly took care of business matters.
"Daddy......."
Ye Shaolong opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say for a while. He couldn't say anything to blame, but if he didn't say a few words, he felt stuffy and panicked.
Ye Shoufu also seemed to realize his mistake at this moment, looking at his son who wanted to speak and stopped, he was also bitter for a while as a father.
In fact, this can't be completely blamed on Ye Shoufu, it is not as easy as Ye Shaolong imagined to get through the princes and ministers in the capital. What can be done with just a little money, with the current official rank of his Ye family, he can't even reach a prefect. At most, it's just a little money, and this kind of status has no use value at all for those princes and ministers.
Ye Shoufu did spend a lot of money in the capital, but those so-called princes and ministers only received gifts but did nothing every time. Nearly 10 million taels of silver were spent, and Ye Shoufu was stunned that he didn't even see a decent minister who really held power.
Thinking of this, Ye Shoufu suddenly sighed lightly and said: "Shaolong, the water in the officialdom in this capital is too deep, but it is not as deep as ours in this provincial capital." A small Beijing official came down to the provincial capital to do business, and when he arrived in this place, he saw the third level of the official, under such rules, you imagine that those high-ranking bigwigs will look down on our little Ye family who has no background in a place. What's more, Dad, this cheap 'big general' he bought! ”
Hearing this, Ye Shaolong was also stunned, although he said that he came through time, but he didn't understand this set of officialdom at all in his previous life. And in this life, from childhood to now, he has never stepped out of this provincial capital, and he has never been involved in official matters.
"I still took it for granted at the beginning, thinking that there was nothing I couldn't do with money." Ye Shaolong sighed secretly in his heart.
It wasn't until this moment that Ye Shaolong realized how much of a failure he deserved as a 'loser'. Now he is easily made like this by a thirteenth prince, the previous arrogance, how ridiculous and ignorant he seems at this moment.
"Dad, if our Ye family is really destroyed by these thirteen princes this time, are you afraid?" Ye Shaolong asked another important question.
In the final analysis, this incident started because of him, and the Ye family has only been in this situation for nearly ten years. And all this is likely to wake up tomorrow and become a dream, and the two fathers and sons will return to what they were before they made a fortune, and it may even be worse.
Ye Shaolong was afraid that his father at this moment would not be able to resist such a blow, in case there were three longs and two shorts, he, an 'unfilial son', would have to bear the condemnation of conscience for a lifetime.
But the facts proved that Ye Shaolong's worries were superfluous, Ye Shoufu looked at him and chuckled twice and said: "Why should Shaolong be so worried, as long as you and I can escape death this time." Although our family property is gone, the connections we have accumulated in the past are still there, and it is not easy to make a comeback. Besides, don't you have your father-in-law's family to rely on, with the relationship between our two families, he Tangshan will definitely not sit idly by. ”
After his father's explanation, Ye Shaolong suddenly saw hope, and he was also confident that as long as he didn't die this time, he would have the ability to make his Ye family make a comeback in a short period of time. And it must be more beautiful than before, and then he will definitely have to fight with these thirteen princes again.
After a conversation between the two fathers and sons, they confessed the words that had been hidden in their hearts for a long time, and they both believed that the future was still bright. The darkness in the cell could not hide the light of hope that burned in the hearts of the two of them at this moment.
Placed in the place of death and then born, the two fathers and sons are also full gamblers, and they don't know that the idea is good, but the reality is always cruel. The two fathers and sons, who were looking forward to the future in prison, didn't know that Dorha had already hit the Tang family with his mind.
If the Tang family is really calculated by Dolha, then they will lose their biggest support in the future. Without the most powerful support of the Tang family, the two fathers and sons want to make a comeback, how easy it is to talk about it!
The small oil lamp outside the cell gradually went out, and the two fathers and sons in the cell fell silent, and the bright moonlight shone in through a small window. Adding a lot of light to this pitch-black cell, the Ye family father and son fell asleep peacefully, and they really didn't seem to worry about their fate tomorrow.
