1908 Far East Madman Chapter 230 Huayang (II)

Yang No. 1 Model Prison was originally Huayang County Prison. It was rebuilt after being taken over by the army. Not only did the fence be heightened. At the same time, the prison premises were reinforced. Whether it's Zone A or Zone B. All the prison cells were replaced with steel sills. Tightly guarded. It was enough to make the prisoners inside give up any attempt to escape

It is different from the time of the previous Qing Dynasty. In the county jail, the wails of the prisoners could not be heard. I couldn't hear the shouts of the jailers drinking and guessing the money. The current Model Prison No. 1 prohibits prison guards from torturing prisoners. Jailers are also prohibited from doing non-work-related things during their work. In the words of the propagandist who oversees the prison administration. This is called "removing the old and making the new".

But other voices could be heard in the cell. For example, the invective of human prisoners. For example, the humming of a ditty.

Right now. It's in one of the cells in District A. There was a small grunt.

"Sit down Sister Yang above. Pour a glass of wine. Shouting "General". Pick up a ...... with you The Manchurian generals had the best hearts. Red fruits. Green leaves. Gu Dao: It's hard to be a general if you're timid. Greed for life and fear of death are people. ”

The song has not yet been hummed. Listen to a few scolding from the cell across the hallway.

"Eldemb. What are you doing so poorly? Shut up your poor mouth. Don't disturb Lao Tzu's dreams. ”

The song paused. But soon it continued. And the tone is louder than the last time. It's also more out of tune.

"Eldemb. Stop, stop, stop. Drink two bowls of porridge a day. Gnaw on a nest head, where is the strength of your kid. What's howling in the middle of the night? ”

Someone in the cell shouted a few times. Although there was no scolding. But that tone wasn't very polite.

The prisoner who was humming the tune finally stopped. After a moment of silence. It's just scolding.

"Guishan. The boy yelled at Lao Tzu. I want you kid. Lao Tzu is still in the teahouse in Chengdu. ”

"Teahouse? You're dying of poverty, which teahouse let you in? The man who was the first to shut up the man answered.

"Lao Tzu took that foreign gun and sold it at the night market. Earn at least two hundred oceans. Not to mention visiting a teahouse. Even if you go to the capital to build a teahouse, it's no problem. Jessen. You kid and Lao Tzu are bulls. If you hadn't gotten on the thief ship of the old thief with Guishan. How could Lao Tzu be dragged down by you? It's not a pity for you to die. But the old wrongdoer didn't even see the oceans of hair that he promised. I followed you to this Huayang City and sent it. ”

"Eldemb. Since you kid knows that Lao Tzu's boat is a thief ship, why do you kid still jump up? I didn't force the kid to get on the boat with a gun. It's not that you fell into the eye of money and couldn't pull it out, if you kid hadn't hacked that "Li Enfei", where would your kid be today? ”

"Duanjin. You bastard, you are still reasonable, obviously you sent Guishan Nikituna to my foreign gun. Where's that, "Ahh That-Ming is a robbery. If I hadn't followed them to you. I'm afraid that Lao Tzu would have been killed by them in the flag camp a long time ago. Why don't you think you have long eyes, you bastard? It's not good to send anyone. Send Nananiktuna over. That's a flag jiān. I knew that Nicotona was a member of the Republican Army. Lao Tzu said that he wouldn't go with Guishan to see you. ”

"How does Lao Tzu know that Nikkon eats inside and out? He's also a patrol. Why would they give their lives to the revolutionary party? ”

"What's wrong with the inspection? Our flag has long been spineless. Not to mention that Nicotona is a small patrol, even if he is Chengdu, as long as the revolution gives more benefits. Also to do the flag jiān. How much good did he do by betraying us? Ten thousand oceans. ”

"What's wrong? Looking red-eyed? Why don't you do this jiān when you look at the red eyes? ”

"Don't talk about it, you kid. You must know that the revolutionary party is so generous. Lao Tzu has long since defected to the past. This Great Qing Kingdom should be finished. Loyal ministers died poorly. Jiān ministers make a fortune. I'm now understanding. This is much more comfortable to be a jiān minister than to be a loyal minister. ”

"Eldemb. You kid can handle it. Didn't you have a weak heart when you said this? When you say this, aren't you afraid that those loyal ministers who died in the banner camp will come to you? Why didn't the artillery of the revolutionary army blow you up like this? ”

"Duanjin. What are you talking about with Lao Tzu, you bastard? Have the ability to talk to the revolutionary army. If you have the ability, you have called your gang of "heroes in the rivers and lakes" and "righteous men of the Qing Dynasty" to rob prisons. Get rid of all of us loyalists. ”。

The gang of people who were shouting in the prison were all banner men. Duanjin Guishan Zhesen Elle Dengbu. The names of these bannermen were all blacklisted by the Republican Governorate. The reason is also very simple. Because their crimes are very serious. These bannermen attempted to assassinate the commander-in-chief. And it's well planned. Simply because of the precedence of the commander-in-chief. It was only then that these Manchu diehards were brought to justice. After the preliminary examination. Some were taken to Model Prison No. 1. They were escorted here with the rì man, Kimio Nishizawa. It's just that Kimio Nishizawa is not locked up in District A. Instead, he was imprisoned in Zone B. Guarded by a gang of robed brothers. lest he kill himself. At the same time, it is also to prevent collusion.

As for the gang of flag man suspects. There is no need to worry about their collusion. Guishan Elden Buzhesen had already honestly confessed their crimes. There is a duanjin to the end. However, this is because the commander-in-chief is not allowed to be executed. Otherwise. The flag man's mouth had already been pried open. "There is no iron man under Miki". The jailers knew this very well.

Since being imprisoned here. These flag men-rì are always having to quarrel. Complain to each other. Prisoners in the same ward have long been accustomed to it. The prison guards are also not surprised. At first, I came to interfere. But then I was too lazy to care. It's just that I have deepened my understanding of the work of this flag man.

The group of flag men quarreled for a long time. I don't see anyone in charge. No one drank it. Gradually, I lost interest. So I consciously closed my mouth. The others lay in the dark room with their eyes closed. Eldenbu continued to hum his ditty.

But he didn't wait to hum a few words. Eldenbu heard the door of the prison block open and stopped. Walk to the edge of the threshold. scratch

Fence making. Look around. A moment later. A lantern was lifted. It was a jailer. He was followed by a group of soldiers. He also carried a few lanterns and escorted five prisoners over.

Elden Bu looked at it intently. The man at the end of the walk was somewhat familiar.

"Zhao. Zhao Erxun. ”

The prisoner heard the cries of Eldenb. Turn your head to look. Stunned: "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

"Huh. It's really you Zhao Er Zhao Xiantai. How. Don't recognize me? Also. You are the Governor of Sichuan. I'm just a little guard Goshkha. You can't remember me, but it's nothing. But didn't you surrender to the revolutionary army? Why was he also escorted to Huayang County? What's wrong. Then the Chuanhan Road money deficit case trapped you? ”

That person was none other than Zhao Erxun, the governor of Sichuan. At this time, he saw that Elden Bu looked gloating, but he did not argue with him. With a cold snort, he continued to walk forward.

Listening to Erle Dengbu's shouting, several other banner men also hurriedly walked to the edge of the threshold and looked at Zhao Erxun.

"Zhao Erxun. Do you want to. If you hadn't surrendered in the first place. Instead, he died under the walls of Chengdu. Anyway, you can be a reward for loyal ministers. But take a look at it now. Falling is descending. Isn't it still a prisoner of the revolutionary party? ”

Nishiki also looks like she's gloating. Zhao Erxun, who was walking over, shouted a few times, but his heart was extremely sad.

"Duanjin?"

Zhao Erxun recognized it and turned his head to look at him. Then he looked at the four "human prisoners" in front of him and saw that they were staring at him sideways.

"Your countdown master."

Duan Jin sneered a few times. I patted my chest. Said proudly: "Ye is not a soft bone like you. Ye came in for the restoration of the Qing Dynasty. But it wasn't greedy for other people's money to come in. ”

Zhao Erxun was able to distinguish a few sentences. But he didn't wait for him to speak. A soldier behind him shoved him violently.

"Less wordy. Past. The soldier scolded

Zhao Erxun continued to move forward. Walk past a prison cell. It stopped diagonally opposite the Duanjin prison house. The soldiers shackled the prisoners. And untie the rope. The jailer who led the way opened the empty room. Kicked the four "human criminals" in front of him first. Then he took Zhao Erxun's collar and threw him into the number room. A "bang" slammed the threshold shut again.

"These five convicts are all defendants in the money deficit case. Temporarily detained here. I'll be back in a few days. ”

An officer-like man took a register handed over by the jailer. After a few words of advice to the jailer, he led the soldiers out of the cell. The jailer also took the lantern and left. It was pitch black.

In the darkness came the cries of Eldebu.

"Everybody's listening. Governor of Sichuan. Lord Zhao Erxun Zhao. Zhao Xiantai. Now he is also a prisoner in Huayang County Prison. From now on. Zhao Xiantai is going to eat the same meal as us. Live the same. Zhao Erxun. I don't know if you eat or not. Drink or not drink the habitual skin boil. There is no warm bed for my aunt here. There is no wild game either. Only rats. Only manure buckets. "It's loud. Zhao Xun heard clearly. But it didn't pay attention. He couldn't even remember the name of Eldenb. Where will you have the heart to see the same as this poor bannerman. Let alone. The meeting with Zhao Bei just now made him unsettled. Where do you have the heart to care about other things.

It was the end brocade who scolded. Although it did not make Eldenb shut up immediately. But that's not his main purpose. So I didn't care about Erdenbu's next scolding.

"Zhao Erxun. Why are you locked up here? When I was in Chengdu. Don't you say that you are under house arrest in the governor's yamen? Duan asked.

Zhao Erxun looked at the four "human criminals" sitting around him. He looked at Duanjin again. said: "The court that tried the "Chuanhan Road Deficit Case" is located in Huayang County. Lock up the old man here. is convenient for arraignment. ”

"Why don't you try this case in Chengdu?"

"The people of Chengdu are emotional. The army zhèngfǔ has some scruples. ”

Hear the conversation between Zhao Erxun and Duanjin. The scolding Edenbu was in high spirits. Interjected and asked, "Zhao Erxun." Let's be honest. How much silver was in the money of that Chuanhan Road? If memory serves. Jun zhèngfǔ said that nearly half of the road money is missing. The total amount of Chuanhan Road is only more than 10 million taels. Half is five million taels. You, Zhao Erxun, are the master of the white wolf with empty gloves. But then again. Thousands of miles of officials are only for money. You are greedy, I understand. But I don't understand. Since you have coveted so much money. Why don't you run away? ”

"The old man is not greedy for one or two pieces of silver. Those shortages. Some were misappropriated by the former governor of Sichuan. Others were paid by me after this military boom. Although the old man asked himself, he was not a breeze on his sleeves. But this old man on Sichuan Han Road really didn't have a tael of silver in his private pocket. Zhao Erxun argued. Fart. You, Zhao Erxun, are a clean official. Zi Zhesen is with you. Jessen, who hadn't spoken much, took a sip. A few curses. Then there was silence again.

Someone kicked in the back heel in the dark. Zhao Erxun suddenly woke up. A long sigh. No more speech. I sat in the corner in the dark. No matter how those bannermen shout. It's just no longer a concern.

remembered Zhao Bei's Wei just now. Look at the four "human prisoners" around you. Zhao Erxun was quite hesitant in his heart.

"Zhao Bei's move must have a jiān plan. How did the old man deal with it? if they do not do as he did. I am afraid that dozens of people in the Zhao Mansion will die without being buried. But do as he says. Who can guarantee that he will keep his word? It's hard to decide. It's hard to fathom. ”

Physically and mentally exhausted. Zhao Erxun lay on it. My mind was also blank. It's like I'm back in that. It's just that the state of mind is completely different. That "enlightenment" consciousness has disappeared without a trace. The strong sense of loss made him anxious. Maybe. That's the sadness of the chess pieces. In spite of oneself.
