The night was long. Looking at the window alone and guarding the moon, it is just poignant and close to people's hearts.

In the Wujiu prison of Dali Temple's Class A Prison, Shen Yun curled his legs, his elbows on his thighs, and his chin was propped up, looking at the Xuan, which was only the size of his head.

The surroundings have long since fallen silent. The felons were also resting after a while. Shi Laosan muttered depressedly for the longest time, and said over and over again that he had lost money, and asked Shen Yun to "kill him by the neck and compensate for the loss of that silver needle---", this was Shi Laosan's original words, but he didn't expect that this blind felony was still quite knowledgeable.

The flea on the drum saw no good show, so he didn't bother to talk to Shi Laosan anymore, but he gloated and asked Shen Yun this and that, it was all nonsense that was not nutritious.

Shen Yun didn't say a word, he couldn't believe the words of these felons, what if this Shi Laosan still had a silver needle? The dangerous situation just now had already made Shen Yun have the greatest vigilance against everyone.

In the cell on the right, the guy who was so strong that he was a little perverted from the beginning to the end did not say anything more, let alone appear again. The only sound in the dark prison was the sound of drum-like breathing. Shen Yun was even thinking, is it a human or a bear who lives next door?

In the wee hours of the morning, Shen Yun finally figured out why there were no lights in the other rooms. It turned out that the amount of lamp oil next to the window was not enough to light for a night, and it could only burn for about half an hour. This is still the treatment that only depends on the situation of new people in Wujiu Prison, and once it is burned out, no one will add to it.

The ugly bangzi had just been knocked, but Shen Yun still didn't feel sleepy.

At this moment, the flea on the drum on the opposite side laughed "hee". This laughter was particularly harsh in the quiet and dark prison, especially for Shen Yun, who was apprehensive in his heart. He hurriedly raised his head and looked at the iron bars where only sporadic moonlight shone down.

With a "squeak", the iron barred cell opposite was opened! Then I heard a small broken step in front of Shen Yun's prison, and those snowy eyes looked directly at Shen Yun.

"Hey, I said this son, who are you? How did you get here? The drum flea sat down against the iron bar of Shen Yun's prison, turned his head and asked.

Through the moonlight, Shen Yun saw clearly this guy with the same name as the Water Margin hero. Thin eyes, flat nose, thin and capable, with a small bun on his head, the bun is not firm, and a few strands of thick yellow hair stick to his thin cheeks. The two mustaches on his lips are chic, but they always reveal a cunning.

Shen Yun especially noticed that he did not have handcuffs or leg irons on his hands.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the drum flea said "hee" again, "Don't worry, I don't want to take your life." I'm just tired of spending time with these filthy things in this prison, so I just want to talk to you. ”

"How did you get out?" Shen Yun finally spoke. Maybe it's because he liked to watch the relationship of the Water Margin in his previous life, he always felt that there would be people with the nickname of fleas, no matter how bad they were, they couldn't be bad--- although the thief was hateful, but after all, it was not as scary as the robber.

The drum flea touched the mustache with his dirty fingers, and said with a sneering smile: "This kind of little trick is not enough to worry about, in the whole world, there is no place where I can't come and go freely...... Without saying that, let me ask you, what character have you offended? ”

Shen Yun shook his head.

"But killed?"

Shen Yun still shook his head.

The drum flea touched the small bun on his head, and said with some distress: "You didn't kill anyone, and you didn't offend anyone, so why did you come here?" Hey, Shi Laosan, don't pretend to be asleep, analyze and analyze with Lao Tzu! ”

Shen Yun was shocked. In the dark prison on the left, there was a strange smile from Shi Laosan: "If you still analyze a ball, you won't let your Grandpa Shi out." Knowing that grandpa is here waiting for this kid to come over and end up with him, but you deliberately broke it, don't you really want to go against grandpa? ”

The flea on the drum smiled and said: "You don't know, I came out for a stroll alone, and Boss Tu wouldn't say anything." But if I release you all, I'll be in trouble! ”

Shi Laosan snorted coldly, as if he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction with the "Boss Tu". The people around him didn't seem to be surprised, the voices of the two of them were not high, but they were not low, and the others were stunned as if they didn't hear it, and continued to sleep. It's not once or twice that the flea has left the prison.

Seeing Shen Yun leaning against the corner of the wall with guard, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Son, this Shi Laosan really has the last silver needle left." As long as you don't come closer, he can't help you. But if you want to live safely through tomorrow, it's up to you to make it! ”

He deliberately said this in a very subtle tone, originally wanting to attract Shen Yun to take the initiative to ask for advice. But Shen Yun still leaned against the corner and didn't say a word.

In fact, it wasn't that Shen Yun couldn't hear the tone of the flea on the drum, but that he didn't know what to say here and now.

Begging for mercy? No, he Shen Yun can't do it. If he is a person who will beg for mercy, he will not end up in ruin in his previous life because of beating the son of a high-ranking official.

Ask for advice? Neither. Although Shen Yun wanted to know who wanted to kill him, and he was also very curious about these strange "prison friends", he understood that he couldn't ask anything from the mouth of this drum flea. Because they all have a person who is afraid--- "Slaughter the Boss"!

So Shen Yun just looked at the drum flea coldly and didn't say a word.

After waiting for a long time, the flea on the drum suddenly felt bored, jumped up, patted the non-existent soil on his buttocks, and said with a smile: "Okay, I wanted to point you out, but I didn't want you to even have the courage to leave a name." It's boring, it's boring, it's better to go back to your room and sleep! ”

"My name is Shen Yun!" Shen Yun thought about it, but still reported his name.

The flea on the drum paused, turned back in amazement, and leaned on the iron fence and smiled: "Yo, finally speak again." Shen Yun? The ears are very raw, I don't seem to have heard of it on the rivers and lakes, hey, Bai Xiaosheng, you can tell me, is there a character named Shen Yun on the rivers and lakes? ”

In this last sentence, the flea on the drum jumped up, turned his head and shouted.

A strong baritone voice came from the No. 9 prison on the far side: "The name is Shen Yun, there are three in the rivers and lakes." Chuzhou Diancang will Shen Yun Shen Lengzen, draw water waves to Taoke Shen Yun Shen Huaichuan, Nanyang laughing sword Feng Shen Yun Shen Guhong. ”

Every time this baritone said a name, the flea on the drum glanced back at Shen Yun, but they all shook their heads and said "not like", and when the last name was given, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, yes, maybe this is it." Shen Gongzi, are you Shen Guhong? ”

Shen Yun was also a little stunned, he didn't expect that there were so many people with the same name and different words in this world? This Bai Xiaosheng is also amazing!

"It's not. Below is the Bohai Sea Shenyun! ”

"Bohai Shenyun?" The baritone's voice suddenly raised, "You are Shen Yun Shen Yuanrang, the prince of Bohai Hou?!" ”

"Exactly!"

As soon as these words came out, a neat inhalation suddenly came from the originally quiet prison--- no one is asleep, they are all awake!

The flea on the drum stumbled, almost fell, and finally held on to the iron fence and said a little weakly: "You are, you are really the prince of Bohai?" ”

Shen Yun was surprised by his performance, and nodded naturally: "Not bad." There's nothing to hide. In the next, it is indeed Shen Yun and Shen Yuan! ”

The expression of the flea on the drum suddenly became very strange, the slender eyes were desperately wide, and the hands and feet felt a little helpless.

The sound of something heavy falling to the ground suddenly came from the prison on the left, and then I saw the skinny Shi Laosan crawling to the iron fence and shouting in a trembling voice: "Oh my God, I, I almost killed the Hou Shizi of Bohai just now!" God is pitiful, it's good that I broke a pair of eyes, otherwise I would have made a big mistake! ”

Before Shen Yun could see it, the fleas on the drum over there suddenly knelt down towards Shen Yun, combed his head with a small bun and kowtowed, and said in an excited voice that was almost crying: "Time to meet the benefactor!" I didn't know it was the benefactor who came just now, and I was offended, so I asked the benefactor to forgive me! ”

Suddenly there were voices from the other prisons, mostly rough voices.

"Linzi Marquis Kan thanked his benefactor!"

"Zezhou Ouyang returns to see his benefactor!"

"Shu Zhongzhang and Ming are grateful to people within five, please accept a bow!"

……

Shen Yun was stunned and almost didn't know what to do, and after coaxing for a while, Shen Yun reacted, jumped up and threw down the iron fence, grabbed the drum flea that was still kowtowing, and said, "Don't do this." What the hell is going on? I thought to myself that I used to be a little debauched, and I also like to make friends, but I have never met you, let alone shown grace to you. What are you doing? ”

The rich baritone voice sounded again, but it was less steady and gentle, and there was indescribable excitement and gratitude in his tone.

"Shen Shizi should not be modest. You deserve it. Although the prince has not been gracious to us, your father, the Marquis of Bohai, has a great kindness to us! I didn't have the opportunity to see the Marquis of Bohai in person, in order to repay the gratitude in my heart, I can see the son of the world today, and what is it to kowtow a few times! ”

…………………… Dividing line ........................

At this moment, Bohai Hou Beppu was not deserted because it was early in the morning, on the contrary, this street, which was not walked by many people during the day, was full of people. Countless palanquin drivers and servants lined up in a long line outside Bohai Hou Beppu, and a palanquin of different colors stopped at the gate of the house. The torches stretched along the long street to the plane trees at the entrance, and the light of the lampstands on both sides of the street was compared.

At the door of the house, Mu corrected his head wrapped in a white scarf, tied a hemp rope around his waist, and his obscene face had a sad expression, and he kept bowing to the people who came and went. His outfit was in line with his master's death, the only awkward thing was that he had a thick plaster on his cheeks, and his thin cheeks were a little raised--- which was punched by Shen Wu in the evening.

Next to Mu Zheng, Shen Zhan was also dressed in the same attire, and some of the people who came were brought into the courtyard of the main hall under his guidance.

These two people have already taken charge of all the affairs of Bohai Hou Beppu. Mu Gengzheng and Shen Zhan drew manpower from the pharmacy and the port respectively to take off the red lanterns in Beppu, hang the white plain lanterns, and drape the courtyard corridor with white silk. All the flowers in the garden were hoeed, and only the bleak branches and leaves remained.

The body of Bohai Hou has been dressed in a burial wood made of red sandalwood and parked in the mourning hall separated from the side room of the main hall. The coffin has been customized, just wait for the relatives to arrive, and you can enter the funeral after the funeral.

In the white miserable mourning hall, there was a blank wrap. Shen Wu was dressed in a vegetarian body, kneeling on the withered grass futon, bowing his head and bowing to everyone who bowed before the spirit.

Most of the people who can enter this mourning hall are officials. There are many officials in Kyoto's Royo. After they learned of the assassination of the Marquis of Bohai, they came to Beppu with sacrifices to make a gesture of mourning.

However, this is not an official worship, and most of the people who come are also officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Government Council. They gathered around the courtroom and outside the mourning hall, each quoting scriptures and commenting on the scriptures, while expressing extreme mourning.

Several master books have been spread out on rice paper, and the words of the adults have been written down in ink, preparing to organize a funeral ceremony suitable for the identity of the Marquis of Bohai.

Shen Wu expressed the most indifferent response to the chaos of the outside world. Originally, it should not be him who knelt in this position, but the prince of Bohai! But now, the prince of Bohai Hou is in the Grade A prison of Dali Temple--- just today when Bohai Hou is unfortunate!

Perhaps it is more accurate to use "out of anger" to describe Shen Wu's mood at the moment. He didn't even want to walk out of the mourning hall, because as soon as he walked out, he would see Mu Si, the man who made him extremely disgusting! If it weren't for the spirit of the Hou Ye and the best of his ability to inherit the family for the prince, Shen Wu would have directly slashed Mu Si to the ground with that knife now!

Mu Si also seemed to know that he was not liked by Shen Wu, so he stood far away at the door to greet him.

Just after the ugly hour, a horse-drawn carriage rushed in from the street entrance, overturning many soft sedan chairs along the way, causing a lot of scolding. However, the carriage still rushed to the gate of Beppu regardless of it, and a middle-aged man in a dark green robe jumped out of the carriage, and his crown was a little crooked, so he took it off and stuffed it into the hands of a ghost-like servant next to him, and rushed straight to the door.

Mu Si looked at this person, hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and saluted, and said sadly: "Lord Gongfu, the master is unfortunate, woo hoo lament......"

"Stop talking nonsense, take me to the mourning hall!" The person who came was Gongfu Xiao, the dark green robe on his body was still the same as yesterday, and a pair of riding boots were full of mud spots, as if he had just rushed back from outside the city, and when he heard Mu Si talking nonsense, he immediately shouted angrily.

Mu Si's polite words were swallowed back before he could speak, his face was a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly turned around and said, "Qing Worm, you take Master Gongfu to worship in front of the Hou Yeling!" ”

The green worm is Shen Zhan, and he also knows Gongfu Xiao, so he hurriedly led the way. Gongfu was so busy walking in that he didn't pay attention to Mu Si's face.

When I came to the court, I saw that there were colleagues from the DPRK and China everywhere, and the 38 officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Government Council in Beijing had all arrived, except for Dongfang Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the three waiters.

"Father-in-law!"

"Oi Cheng-kun!"

"Brother Gongfu."

……

The different titles make the father-in-law a little headache. He didn't expect that the assassination of Bohai Hou would attract so many people. So how else could he go to Shen Yun?

finally got out of the crowd and went straight to the mourning hall. Seeing Shen Wu kneeling there, he was immediately surprised: "Xiao Wu, why are you the only one here?" ”

Shen Wu Huoran raised his head, looking at the appearance of his father-in-law, he couldn't help but wet his eyes with tears, and shouted sadly: "Lord Gongfu, Master Hou, Master Hou, he is gone!" ”

He tried to stand up, but his legs were numb because he had been kneeling for too long, and when he got up, he stumbled and almost fell. Gongfu rushed forward to hold on, his eyes were also a little hot, and he choked up: "I know I know, so I rushed back overnight...... Xiao Wu, what about Yuan Rang? Hou Ye died, why didn't Yuan Rang guard the spirit in front of the spirit? ”

"The son of the world, he was arrested in Dali Temple!" Shen Wu finally burst into tears, and the choked tears finally slipped down.

Gongfu Xiao hurried back from outside the city, and he really didn't hear about Shen Yun being arrested in Dali Temple for a while. Originally, there was a curfew tonight, and he couldn't even enter the city, but fortunately, he had an urgent letter signed by the cabinet, and there were not many people, so he could enter the city.

Hearing Shen Wu explain the matter intermittently, Gongfu Xiao was furious.

"Mu Si is hateful! Dare to slander the master, this son should be damned! Miyazo! ”

Gong San, who had been following left and right, appeared behind him like a ghost: "In!" ”

"Take down Mu Si Na for me. Wait until I bring the son out of the world, and then I will talk about his sins! "The husband is very good.

"Yes, sir!"

Gong San was about to go out, but Shen Wu hurriedly closed his voice and said, "My lord, don't be in a hurry first. Mu Si must have been instructed by someone, and it was easy to startle the snake when he caught him! If you have any intentions, please rescue my family from Dali Temple as soon as possible...... There are a mixture of fish and dragons, and it is a Class A prison, the villain has heard that those felons are extremely vicious people, in case the son of the world has three long and two short in it, how can the villain be worthy of the Hou Ye! ”

Gongfu Xiao hugged Shen Wu up and comforted: "If it's not in the way, if it's in other prisons, I might be worried, but you don't have to worry about it in a first-class prison!" Unless the person in prison doesn't know the identity of Yuan Rang, he will definitely be a guest and will not be harmed! ”

"Why is that?" Shen Wu was puzzled.

Gongfu Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "Do you know about Milan Farm in Bohai County? ”

"Yes. It was set up when Hou Ye had just succeeded to the position of head of the family. ”

"Then do you know who works and lives on Millan Farm?"

"This, the villain doesn't know. I have only accompanied Hou Ye a few times, and the work there is not heavy, most of them are young children and widows living there, and there are some gray-haired old people...... Hou Ye didn't say it, and the villain didn't want to ask. ”

Gongfu said, "Well, that's why Qingquan trusts you. Let me tell you, the Millan Farm is inhabited by the relatives of those felons!

You also know a thing or two about Qingquan's succession to the head of the family back then, right? He once told me that this incident made him feel that he had killed too much, so he wanted to do some good deeds to make amends. Those felons who are the only children in the family, Qingquan will ask for their consent, and then take their parents and children to live in the Milan Farm, and if they have children, they will also be brought to the Milan Farm, so that they can be raised and raised. In this way, it can also make those felons think about repentance in prison. ”

Shen Wu was suddenly about to speak, but Gongfu Xiao said first: "This matter is not a secret. Many adults in the court know about it. But if there is nothing to do, you can't go around preaching. Do you understand? ”

"The villain understands!" Shen Wudao, "However, the prince is really innocent. My lord, you have to find out who assassinated the Hou Ye and help the prince clear his grievances! ”

"This is natural. But it's getting late now, I'll go find Lord Shangshu early tomorrow morning! Gongfu Xiao glanced at the body of Bohai Hou, and sighed faintly: "Qingquan, don't worry, even if you don't want this official uniform, I will definitely help you find the murderer and return the innocence!" ”

Bohai Hou Shen Mu lay there quietly, his pale face as calm as water......

PS: I have always wanted to systematically express the official structure of the Han Empire through a certain character. But now it seems impossible. Because it seems to be very procrastinating, and it is not good for the rhythm of the whole story. So after thinking about it, let's make an outline and put it in the work. If you don't think you understand it very well, please bother to see the work! Thanks!

Also, the chapter name of this chapter is not random. The meaning is in the content.

Well, finally ask for votes!!
