About two miles away from the county government, there is an alley called Yanjia Lane, there are more than a dozen families in the alley, there are no big households, they are all ordinary families in Weiyang County, in the evening, Heimi took Wujin and Chen Ying to the mouth of the alley.

The three of them walked into the alley, and Heimi pointed to the innermost door, "That's Li Cell's home!" ”

Coming out of Beishi, Chen Ying has been silent, she is like a follower silently following behind Wu Jin, her heart is full of helplessness and sadness, she wanted to return to the island immediately, she didn't want to look at this negative person again, but the task she shouldered made her unable to leave, she was not willing to leave, she could only express her dissatisfaction and protest with silence.

Their relationship quickly cooled down, from a former couple to teammates, and they haven't said a word yet when they come out of North City.

Wu Jin walked in front of her, this silence between the two made him feel very depressed and embarrassed, he wanted to talk to her several times, but he couldn't talk about it, he even wanted to tell her that he was no longer the Wu Jin he used to be, but she would definitely understand that he had changed his mind, this kind of possession was related to ghosts and gods in this dynasty, he couldn't say anything, and would rather let her think that she had changed her mind.

But sometimes he suddenly remembers, as if Heimei is still his cousin, this feeling is even more boundless, he doesn't have this feeling of family affection at all, Wu Jin sighed secretly, he tried to make himself forget these troubles, and focus on rescuing his brother.

"Childe, this is it!"

Heimi pointed to a gate three steps away, Wu Jin was in good spirits, and walked forward, but stood in front of the gate, Chen Ying saw that he didn't knock on the door, and couldn't help but look at him with some doubts, and was about to push the door, but Wu Jin stopped her, "Wait a minute!" ”

He is observing this door, this is one of his habits, always like to find out a little clue from some subtleties, he knows that in ancient times, almost all people attached great importance to the door, that is a kind of face, a small door has a lot of exquisiteness, such as the copper nails on the door There are many differences, only people of a certain social status can have, at most eighty-one nails, that is the palace gate and the temple door, at least three nails, that means that this is a low-grade petty official, and the ordinary people are the light door, and the color of the door also has a high and low status, vermilion, Black, colorless door panels, etc., and even the shape and size of the door, are all exquisite.

And the head of this Li cell is a colorless original door panel, and there are no copper nails, the door has been eroded by wind and rain, and has turned into an old white, full of thin cracks, and the widest crack is even the width of a little finger.

From these details, Wu Jin deduced that this Li cell leader's family is relatively poor, and Heimi also said that he is a good wine, and good wine is actually a weakness, and it stands to reason that the cell head is a kind of fat poor, and the prisoner's family gives money and gifts, and his family should be very wealthy, but the gate is ruined, which can only show that he is not an ordinary good wine.

As soon as I thought of this, the door suddenly opened, only to see a young woman walking out, with a sickly face, she was wearing a blue cloth skirt, carrying a round-mouth basket, the basket put more than a dozen washed and dried clothes, and a child on her back, as soon as she opened the door, she saw three people standing at the door, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "You guys..... Who to look for? ”

Heimi knew her, and he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, let's look for Boss Li, is he there?" ”

The young woman glanced back at the room fiercely, and said hatefully, "I drank too much yellow soup, and there are corpses there!" ”

She said coldly to the three of them again: "He drank too much, and he probably won't wake up, so come back tomorrow!" ”

Wu Jin was worried in his heart, where could he wait for tomorrow, he took out an ingot of five taels of silver and put it in the young woman's basket, "Sister-in-law, we have something urgent to find him, you must have a way to wake him up." ”

The silver was touching, and warmth appeared on the young woman's face, and she smiled and nodded, "You guys come in first and sit down, I'll try it!" ”

The three of them walked into the small courtyard, a choking smell of wine came to their faces, Wu Jin's brows couldn't help frowning, the yard was as dilapidated as the gate, the grape trellis had collapsed, a bunch of leeks were planted in the corner of the courtyard, the leek seedlings had been pecked by several chickens, and two five or six-year-old boys were playing with mud in the yard barefoot, making the yard full of mud.

"Three of you, please sit here!"

The young woman had already packed up a room in a hurry and invited them into the house, Wu Jin and the three of them entered the house and sat down, Wu Jin glanced at Chen Ying, and it happened that Chen Ying was also looking at her, the two of them touched their eyes, Chen Ying's gaze immediately avoided, and his face was dyed with a layer of coldness.

At this moment, a pig-killing cry came from next door, "It hurts me!" ”

Immediately afterwards, another man shouted, "Thief mother-in-law, where are you kicking Lao Tzu?" ”

"You dead plague pig, you know how to drink all day long, drink you to death!"

I only heard the young woman scolding him viciously: "Don't hurry up, there are guests waiting for you next door!" ”

The man muttered, and then there was no sound, and for a moment, only heavy footsteps were heard, and a stout man staggered in, "Who is looking for me?" ”

He was full of alcohol and looked at the three of them drunkenly, Heimi quickly got up and punched him in the shoulder, "Lao Li, don't you know me?" ”

Cell Boss Li recognized him and immediately laughed, "It turned out to be Brother Hei, I haven't seen you for a long time, where did you get rich?" ”

Heimi pulled him to sit down and introduced him to Wu Jin, "This is the prince of the emperor, my best friend!" ”

Wu Jin arched his hand to him, Li Jiaotou looked at Wu Jin, and suddenly smiled: "This old brother seems to be a little familiar!" ”

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized, "I remember, you're the one who sells lottery tickets, right?" ”

Wu Jin smiled, and praised with a thumbs up: "Brother Li has good eyes." ”

Li Celltou smiled proudly, "That's, don't look at me drunk all day long, my eyes are bright!" ”

He glanced at Chen Ying again, and saw that her skin was dark and shiny, full of game, and couldn't help but smile ambiguously, "This little lady is so handsome!" ”

Chen Ying snorted coldly, so frightened that Heimi hurriedly diverted the topic, he pointed at Wujin and said, "Lao Li, Gongzi Wujin has something to ask you for help today." ”

Wu Jin put two ingots of fifty taels of silver on the table, Li Jiaotou's eyes immediately narrowed, ordinary people entrusted him with errands, all five taels or ten taels of silver, this imperial prince actually took out fifty taels, maybe it was a generous shot, but things are definitely not simple.

Li Prison Boss has experienced a lot of this kind of thing, he doesn't panic to accept the silver, he must ask the matter clearly first, otherwise the silver will burn his hands, he has completely woken up from drinking, and raised his eyebrows, "I don't know what I can do to help the emperor's son?" ”

The answer was vague, neither agreeing nor not agreeing, Wu Jin smiled faintly, "My eldest brother is Huangfu Weiming!" ”

Li Cell's face changed suddenly, he got up to leave, but was held down by Heimi, and said unhappily: "Lao Li, don't you want to give me face?" ”

Li Jiaotou's eyes showed fear, and he begged: "Lao Hei, it's not that I don't give you face, that head of the household Cao is a suspect in the assassination of Gao Shilang, which is extraordinary, and I can't afford it even if I have ten heads!" ”

"Listen to it and talk about it!"

Heimi forced him to sit down, and Li Cell Boss was helpless, so he had to smile bitterly, "Please say it!" ”

Wu Jin smiled slightly, and first stabilized Cell Li's heart, "I will state first, I don't need Brother Li to help my brother get it out, I know that this is a bit difficult for a strong man, and I won't embarrass Brother Li." ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and looked at Li Cell's expression, Li Cellhead was obviously a little relaxed, and his tense face just now also showed a hint of imperceptible smile, Wu Jin caught this smile that even Li Cellhead himself was not aware of, this smile revealed the secret of his heart, and things could be discussed.

Wu Jin said unhurriedly, "Actually, there are only two things I want to ask Brother Li for help, the first thing is that I hope my eldest brother will not suffer too much in prison, this should be no problem for you!" ”

Cell Leader Li nodded, ordinary people came to beg him for this, this is actually for him, this is a gesture for him, "Your eldest brother is locked up in cell C, it is a single cell, no other prisoner can hurt him, I can take care of the Huangfu in terms of food and lodging, you can rest assured, I can do it." ”

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

Wu Jin continued: "My second thing is that I hope you can show me a way, I want to rescue my eldest brother, I won't trouble you, but I think you should know what can be done." ”

Li Cellhead was silent, Wujin didn't bother him, patiently waiting for his reply, for a long time, Li Cellhead still didn't say anything, it could be seen that he was very conflicted in his heart, Chen Ying next to him was finally a little impatient, she slapped the table hard, glared at Li Cell, "If you don't want to do it, tell us clearly!" ”

Li Cell Head was frightened by her sudden slap on the table, in fact, they didn't have no way to get people from death row, but Weiming This case is more serious, they need to take a lot of risks, he was calculating the risk value just now, and then made an offer, it is impossible to take the initiative to release Huangfu Weiming, but if they are derelict in their duties, so that Huangfu Weiming is rescued, it is feasible, in that case, he is just a crime of dereliction of duty, a few months of salary will be deducted, and the most serious thing is to be dismissed for a few months, and then he will be reinstated, He has already been dismissed three times for dereliction of duty.

After eating this bowl of rice for decades, he knows it in his heart.

At this time, he finally made up his mind, raised his head and said to Wu Jin: "If you only do the first thing, I will charge you a hundred taels of silver, because I also have to fight many people, even the thugs in prison, but if you want to do the second thing, then I must have five hundred taels of silver, because I am taking too much risk." ”

Wu Jin took out a heavy blue cloth package, put it on the table, and untied it, revealing five yellow and clear gold ingots inside, he pushed it in front of Li Jiaotou, "This is fifty taels of gold, with a market value of six hundred taels of silver, which is enough to make up for your risk." ”

Li Cellhead looked at the yellow gold, his eyes were fascinated by the golden yellow that symbolized wealth, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said slowly: "I, Li Si, have been the cell head in Weiyang County Prison for twenty years, and there is nothing I can't do. ”
