Chapter 91: One Night Back Before Liberation
Lingzhou Prison. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Before he went in, a special smell wafted out, how strong the wind was, how strong the smell was, standing outside, Chen Yifan felt that it was better not to go in, to smoke people to death.
Fortunately, it's winter, the taste is relatively light, diluted a lot, not as strong as before, this time I don't know why, it's particularly obvious, I've been here a few times before, and I haven't felt this way.
Maybe I wasn't in the mood to think about this last time, so I ignored the past, this time, I entered purely for fun, my nose was much more sensitive, and I was led by the jailer, Chen Yifan walked through several cells, wood was still wood, dark and lightless.
There was only one window, and a few rare rays of light floated in, hazy, falling on the ground, clearly visible straw, all over the ground, this was the only thing that the prisoners could keep warm, the cold, many prisoners huddled in a corner, crowded in twos and threes to keep warm.
As if this could send a little comfort to each other's hearts, the cold wind was blowing, and they hugged even closer, wishing to forget the fact that it was winter.
Just a few glances, Chen Yifan's heart was full of resentment, look at it, look at it, what kind of service attitude is this, he didn't even give them a quilt, it was too cold-blooded, too ruthless.
After complaining about the environment of the prison, Chen Yifan directly ignored the past and walked to one of the rooms, the jailer opened the door, let Chen Yifan in, and then turned to leave.
I don't dare to say much about what I said, Chen Yifan can do whatever he wants, these jailers don't have anything else, and his eyesight is still good.
Chen Yifan walked in, looked around, and the resentment in his heart was even heavier, he was a martial arts practitioner, and the cold was nothing to him, but for those who were powerless and thin, it was very different.
Look at it, look at it, what our Baizi Xuan has become cold, his face is pale, his lips are shaking, his eyes are turned up, he looks half-dead, and his heart hurts.
What a poor boy!
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, you have to endure this kind of pain, which is too uncomfortable and pitiful.
While sighing, Chen Yifan didn't feel it at all, it was because of himself that he was locked up for so long, everyone else left, and he was the only one who stayed here to suffer, how pitiful.
Seeing Chen Yifan's arrival, Baizi trembled, turned his head stiffly, and looked at Chen Yifan: "Chen ...... Chen Yifan, you bastard. ”
The resentment is very deep, and whoever has been locked up for so long has complained, feared, and feared in his heart, and he can't suppress the anger in his heart, it's too hateful, it's too hateful.
I am a scholar anyway, why do you treat yourself like this, and is there any royal law.
If he is a suspect and the case is not solved, he can still be relieved, but everyone else has been released, the case is closed, and the damned people are dead, why am I left alone here to suffer.
Why?
He just wanted to ask why?
After thinking about it for a long time, he understood a truth, that is, people are officials, and he is the people.
Seeing Chen Yifan appear, his head exploded all of a sudden, his thoughts were like springs, uncontrollable, he, must be this person, communiqué personal vendetta, bending the law for personal gain, that's right, he, Chen Yifan, this bastard villain.
The rest of the Yamen, he didn't offend, and he didn't dare to offend, the only person who had a holiday was the smiling man in front of him, Chen Yifan.
"Hey, I still have the strength to scold, it seems that it is not closed enough, since this is the case, then I will go first, and you continue to scold."
said, turned around, this time it frightened our Bai Zixu, finally someone took care of himself, or Chen Yifan, the culprit, I can't get him, don't want to go out.
"Wait, Chen...... One...... Master Chen, wait. ”
I didn't dare to call Chen Yifan's name directly, my lord, Lord Chen, I was very embarrassed and bowed my head, and I had to bow my head when I was under the eaves.
Say, you can't talk about people, you can't fight, you can't beat it.
Even fighting, it is even more impossible, this Chen Yifan in front of him, in Lingzhou City, can be regarded as covering the sky with one hand, doing whatever he wants, fighting with him by himself, isn't he looking for death?
What is face, what else do you want to do with face?
Manly, big husband, able to bend and stretch, in ancient times, there was King Goujian, lying on the salary to taste the gall, now I have a hundred sons, succumbing to the enemy, it is a good story.
"What's the matter?" Chen Yifan definitely didn't give him a good look, this kind of person just wanted to abuse him and ignore him.
Only then will he know how useless he is, otherwise, he really thinks that he is the emperor, self-righteous, and unstoppable.
"That...... I...... I just wanted to ask, when can I go out? ”
With a red face, he lowered his head after speaking, looked at his feet, and was very aggrieved, and gave in, he gave in.
Chen Yifan is very happy in his heart, you are just a cheap, you have to talk to you like this, you are willing to talk well, you don't make any expression on your face, and answer indifferently: "You have to ask the prefect about this, Lingzhou is the prefect's decision, I'm just a catcher, I can't make up my mind." ”
“……。”
Bai Zixu really wants to slap this bastard in the face, at this time, you say this kind of thing, isn't it very embarrassing, who in Lingzhou City doesn't know that you and the prefect are friends, will he not listen to what you say?
Moreover, he's still locked up inside, isn't it because of you?
Bai Zixu knew everything in Lingzhou City, and the elders in the family came several times, told him everything that happened, and told him that he couldn't go against Chen Yifan, otherwise, they would abandon him ruthlessly.
For the sake of the family, you must have a good relationship with him, even if you can't be a friend, you can't be an enemy, remember, this is the unanimous conclusion reached by the family discussion.
He still remembered the original words of the elders of the family, he couldn't offend the person in front of him, otherwise, the family would not save him again in the future, and let him fend for himself.
"Lord Chen, please." Bow your head, bend over, grit your teeth, and be unwilling, but you have to do this.
Face, dignity, pride, at this moment, all gone.
The literati are light, the scholars are the highest, but they bow their heads to a man who has only read a book for a few days, bend down, and beg him to let him go, and the pride of his life is completely shattered.
This worship broke all the pride of his hundred sons, and also announced one thing, that is, his hundred sons were weak.
From now on, when he sees Chen Yifan, he will be inferior.
Chen Yifan looked at this person in surprise, a hard bone, dignity, face, he looked more important than his life, he would bow his head at this moment, unexpectedly.
The bones of the literati are the hardest and the softest.
Polarization, once it hardens, it will be nine cows that can't pull it back.
"Are you willing?"
Baizi's face twitched, willing? How can it be? He was a dignified person, a well-known scholar, bowed his head to an executioner, and spread the word, he didn't have to mix in Lingzhou City in the future, even if it was Shilin, he didn't have his status.
As soon as he bowed his head, it was not only his reputation that was destroyed, but also his future.
Can you be willing?
Gritted his teeth, his fists were clenched, the muscles of his whole body were tense, his eyes were round, and he stared at Chen Yifan.
Can he be willing?
"Are you unwilling? Why bow your head? I originally let you go, but I forgot about it before, no, when I remembered that there was such a person as you, I hurried down and prepared to let you go, who knew that you were like this, so I didn't know what to say. ”
Chen Yifan pulled him up and said with a joking smile, this is not Chen Yifan deceiving him, this is the case, this person is not a very big crime, he did not kill the person, at most he is an accomplice.
He has a meritorious reputation, some minor crimes cannot deprive him of his life, and more importantly, Daliang has a clear rule that all people must be treated favorably and cannot be killed indiscriminately.
Except for the unpardonable sins, everything else can be properly forgiven, as long as you pay some silver.
And the man who died was a maid, and he paid some money, and it was over.
On the other side of Yuanyuelou, he didn't dare to look for trouble, and he took the silver, and he did whatever he wanted.
As for the death of the Purple Moon girl, with the Pang family accompanying the funeral, Chen Yifan will no longer look for the trouble of Baizixu, and he will also eat the punishment he deserves, and he will probably be ruined when he goes out this time.
"You ......."
Bai Zixu pointed at Chen Yifan, his clothes trembled, the intensity was not weaker than the earthquake, and he was even more angry in his heart, how could he be like this, why didn't he say it earlier, why did he treat me like this?
said earlier, he didn't need to lose his dignity and be proud, one day, he would be able to make a comeback, but now.
That's it, tired.
He looked down hollowly, staring at his hands, stunned.
"Brother Bai, it's okay, manly man, it's just a little wronged, it's nothing, it's nothing." Chen Yifan patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said earnestly: "By the way, don't forget to remind the elders in your family that five hundred taels of silver cannot be less." ”
"You ......." Hearing the sound, Bai Zixu's eyes turned white and he immediately fell.
fainted, fell to the ground, and after a long time, he woke up, and when he saw Chen Yifan's face, his anger suddenly rose, but he was helpless.
"Okay, okay, don't get dizzy anymore, your family is waiting for you to go out, five hundred taels of silver is not much, for your hundred sons and a hundred sons, it's a piece of cake." Chen Yifan adheres to the principle of being angry and dying, and constantly stimulates Baizixu.
Baizi's body trembled even more, five hundred taels of silver, really? The family really promised to give him five hundred taels of silver, that is five hundred taels of silver, half of his property, what will he eat after giving it out?
O his field, O his silver!
"Let's go, come back when you have time."
Bai Zixu didn't know how he got out of prison, he was dizzy, and kept thinking about Chen Yifan's words in his head, five hundred taels of silver, and it was gone.
Nope.
It's over.
The silver he had worked so hard to earn was given out again, and in the end, he was a bamboo basket to draw water - a waste.
After decades of hard work, I returned to the pre-liberation period overnight!
Because of his own resentment, he buried everything he had, and the price was too great.
So big that Bai Zixu began to doubt life and didn't dare to face his family.
