Weiyang County Prison is not far from the county government, is a circular building covering an area of five acres, hundreds of cells form three groups of concentric circle buildings, the outermost circle is the No. A cell, there are a large number, and the number of people is also the largest, all of them are short-term prisoners who steal petty or resist taxes and do not pay, and the detention period is mostly a few months to a year; In the middle circle is cell B, where prisoners who have been convicted of heavier crimes and have longer sentences are held.

And the innermost circle is cell C, which is a death row for felons who commit murder and rebellion, there is no window, only one exit, there is a foul smell all year round, the cell is very dim, only a dim oil lamp is lit at the end of the corridor, the wall is made of huge bluestone, it is desperately hard, the wooden fence with thick arms, outside the wooden fence is a fierce jailer who looks like a beast patrolling back and forth, the key in his hand is thrown loudly, the whole cell is dark and dark, filled with a desperate atmosphere.

Huangfu Weiming was locked up in such a hellish prison, he was alone in a small cell at the very end, so hot that it was like a steamer, and even breathing was difficult, this Huangfu Weiming tasted the taste of imprisonment for the first time in 27 years, and it was a disaster, in the morning, he was still working well in the county office, but in a blink of an eye, he became the mastermind behind the assassination of the squire of the criminal department, and was imprisoned in an unheard of black prison, and the sudden blow, the anger of being framed, and the fear of the future of the black prison shrouded his heart, which made him almost break down.

"Let me out! I'm going out! ”

From the moment he was caught, he kept banging on the fence, screaming desperately, as if only in the shouting could he hide the fear in his heart, but his shouting had no effect, and even the prisoner in the black cell opposite him ignored him, only accidentally shooting out a beast-like fierce light from a dark corner, which made Wei Ming feel a burst of creepy.

He cried out for a full hour, and no one paid any attention to him, and the patrolling jailer passed by him, as if he had seen nothing, heard nothing, and only once, when Weiming's hand was so stretched out that it was almost close to the jailer's key, he was hit with a blow on the arm, and it hurt so much that his hand was almost broken.

It was that stick that seemed to wake Wei Ming up, he began to shrink into the corner without saying a word, tears flowed from his eyes, he began to miss his wife and a pair of children, he was arrested and put in prison, what should they do?

"Wu Jin!" Wei Ming called out the name in a low voice, he knew that only his own brother would come desperately to save him.

He didn't eat lunch or dinner, he only drank a little water, and the two black steamed buns that were as hard as stones made him unable to swallow, and he didn't have a single appetite.

"Bang dang!" With a bang, the iron door at the end opened, and a jailer hurried over, and he walked to Weiming's cell and called him softly: "Lord Master! Lord in charge! ”

Wei Ming woke up suddenly, he hurriedly crawled over with his hands and feet, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there any news?" ”

The jailer took out an oiled paper bag and gave it to him, and suddenly a smell of incense came to his face, "This is half a roast chicken, you can eat it quickly!" ”

Wei Ming swallowed his saliva, but he didn't move, just stared at the roast chicken suspiciously, he was very cautious, he didn't dare to move this inexplicable food, the death row prisoner on the opposite side pounced on him like a hungry wolf, the shackles rattled, he lay on the fence, staring at the roast chicken hungrily, and shouted in a voice that seemed to come from hell: "Give me some!" ”

"Fuck off!"

The jailer drew his knife sharply and slashed at him with a fierce slash, almost cutting off his hand, and the condemned prisoner retracted into his nest in fright.

Seeing that Wei Ming was still staring at him with suspicious eyes, the jailer couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Lord Principal, if we want to harm you, there is a way, we don't have to work so hard, and it won't be at this time, you can eat!" This was arranged by your brother.

"Wu Jin!"

Wei Ming only felt a sharp choke in his nose, and tears came out of his eyes..... After a long time, he wiped away his tears, took the roast chicken tremblingly, devoured the chicken with a kind of eating appearance that he had never eaten before, and drank half a pot of wine handed to him by the jailer, and then let out a long breath and asked the jailer, "What time is it outside?" ”

"It's just getting dark!"

It had been five hours, five hours had passed since he was arrested, and he did not know how long he would be imprisoned, and he asked, "Does my brother have anything else to say to me?" ”

"Your brother said, let you rest assured, he will take care of the family, and..."

Wei Ming's heart let go, he knew that his brother would definitely take care of his wife and daughter, "what else ......"

The jailer beckoned to him, but Wei Ming hurriedly leaned his ear, and the jailer whispered to him: "Don't sleep at night, we will take you next door in the middle of the night, and the next cell has a tunnel that leads to cell B, and then transfer you from prison B to cell A, and it will be easy to get out from there." ”

Wei Ming's heart was overjoyed, and he was worried and said, "I'm afraid this will affect you!" ”

The jailer smiled, "It's okay, someone knocked the jailer unconscious and rescued you, at most we were not strictly guarded, we were beaten with a board, and then dismissed, we will come back after the limelight, this is not the first time." ”

Although Wei Ming's actions were a little inappropriate, the jailers obviously didn't know the seriousness of his case, but he was already extremely afraid of the black cell, as long as he could leave, he didn't care about anything.

．．．．．．． Wei Ming closed his eyes and leaned against the wall to recuperate, at this time his heart has been much more settled, his brother is actively saving him outside, so that he has a glimmer of hope in his heart, he began to settle down to consider the causes and consequences of this case, in fact, the reason is very simple, he understood when he was arrested, or in order to fight for financial power, the other party has been unscrupulous.

Wei Ming suddenly felt a strong uneasiness, if he really escaped, then his charge of plotting to assassinate the squire would be confirmed, maybe Su Hanzhen could get away with it, but what about him? His future, his fame are all over, and even he will become a wanted criminal, and from then on incognito, and his ideals will be wiped out from now on, which is not appropriate! Absolutely not!

Wei Ming suddenly felt that the consequences of escaping were very serious, maybe Wu Jin just wanted to save his surname, but he had to think about his future, at this time, Wei Ming suddenly didn't want to escape.

"Bang dang!" There was another sound of the door opening in the black cell, followed by the footsteps of several people, and the sound of leather boots was loud and loud, but Ming heard that one of them belonged to the jailer, but the others did not know that the front of his cell suddenly turned on, and someone walked to his cell with a lamp and stopped.

There was a sound of chains, the door of his cell was opened, and two people came in with oil lamps, but Ming was dazzled by the dazzling oil lamps, and gradually he saw clearly, and three burly men came in, one of whom shone his face with an oil lamp, "That's him!" ”

The two big men next to him immediately set him up one left and one right, "What are you going to do?" ”

Wei Ming struggled desperately, but the two big men were infinitely powerful, he couldn't move at all, he was forcibly put out of the cell, dragged him towards the door, the dead prisoner opposite him slowly stepped forward, staring at Wei Ming's back disappearing, with a vicious smile in his eyes, "The roast chicken is really delicious and difficult to digest!" ”

His gaze fell on the neck of a chicken in the doorway, and he swallowed violently, his head slammed against the wooden fence, and a beastly roar came out of his throat.

．．．．．．．． In the interrogation room, Wei Ming's shirt had been stripped off, he was naked, his left and right hands were put into the empty iron rings, his feet were also fixed, and his eyes were always angry at a middle-aged man opposite. The middle-aged man was wearing a small hat in a green coat, with long thin and pale cheeks, and his eyes were very cold, it was Shi Xu Yuan, the magistrate of Donghai County, and next to him stood Wang Ziqun, the county lieutenant of Weiyang County, he was the person who served Gao Heng, and he was also a little minion of the Chu Wang Party, and it was he who led the officials to arrest Huangfu Weiming in the morning.

Xu Yuan slowly stepped forward with his hands behind his back, he looked at Wei Ming, and sighed: "Good Gong Jushi No. 1, Jinshi in the examination is nine out of ten, but he came to do the work of Hu Cao, and now he is in prison, Wei Ming, you should know that those who have been in prison will be removed from their reputation, and they will never be hired, and your life will be over." ”

Wei Ming closed his eyes and said nothing, Xu Yuan shook his head again, "That's it!" Let's make a deal, I wrote a declaration for you, you just need to sign it, I will release you, keep your reputation, although Hu Cao can no longer do things, but you can enter Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, you can also go to high school, how about it? ”

Wei Ming sneered, "If I sign it, the prince will not let me go either." ”

"It's okay! There is the king of Chu, and there is Uncle Shen! In the future, you will be a member of the Chu King Party, and Uncle Shen will naturally protect you, what are you afraid of? ”

Xu Yuan's pale face slowly approached Wei Ming, tempting him little by little, "I can assure you that if you sign, the Weiyang County Decree will be your place in the future." ”

But Ming suddenly said, 'Phew! With a snort, a mouthful of spit spit in his face, "Wishful thinking, you are a dog, let me be a dog with you?" ”

Xu Yuan was annoyed and ashamed, he wiped the saliva off his face, made a look, and suddenly the leather whip was whipped down like raindrops, and Wei Ming screamed in pain, this was the first time he had been beaten since he was a child, and he was beaten so hard.

Wei Ming suddenly screamed and fainted, and at this time, the county lieutenant Wang next to him suggested, "Lord Changshi, it's better to let him press his handprint!" He fainted anyway. ”

"You know!"

Xu Yuan scolded angrily, "If he didn't sign it willingly, what if he retracted his confession in the court in the future?" ”

County Lieutenant Wang grinned, "But his fine skin and tender flesh, I'm afraid he will be killed if he is not beaten." ”

Xu Yuan snorted, a vicious smile appeared on his face, "Okay!" Lock him up for two days, don't give him water, don't give him food, boil his will, and then arrest his wife and children, torture him in front of him, and see if he still has a hard mouth! ”
