Chapter 226: Death Row
"Young Master, this is it."
Hong Xinyu's reminder made Zheng Xunrui wake up, he had been walking in the prison for a little longer, and he seemed to have adapted to the smell, and Hong Xinyu, who had been rolling in the pile of dead people, didn't take it seriously.
The jailer stopped in front of a door, smiled and nodded to the rich man in this cell.
In broad daylight, the corridor could not be seen clearly, and when the cell was opened, it was even more difficult for the eyes to adapt, and it was dim inside, and a foul smell came to the face, which made people sick.
The jailer probably saw that Zheng Xunrui and Hong Xinyu's momentum was not ordinary, and he put a silver ingot in his pocket, so he was extra careful, and the previous indifferent attitude had already been thrown to Java, and when he saw Zheng Xunrui and Hong Xinyu entering the cell, the jailer hurriedly walked towards the other cells.
After a while, Zheng Xunrui adapted to the light in the cell, which was a faint light that came out of the surrounding and the gaps above, and there were three people in the cell, all of whom were pale, but they were not wearing shackles or shackles, and it seemed that they were enjoying special treatment.
A fat, bloodless middle-aged man moved his body over, ready to try to stand up and pull Zheng Xunrui to cry, but was blocked by Hong Xinyu.
"Tell the lady to take the money to save me, save me ......"
The voice was very small, but it was very clear, Zheng Xunrui looked at the middle-aged man and just nodded slightly.
Hong Xinyu on the side spoke.
"The young master and I came to see you specifically, do you have any grievances, sue the young master, I can help you."
The middle-aged man shook his head desperately.
"There are no grievances, no grievances, ask the lady to take the silver to save me, I have no grievances......"
Walking out of the cell, Zheng Xunrui whispered to Hong Xinyu beside him.
"It doesn't work in these places, you have to go to death row to see, the people in there have no way to live, only they will open their mouths to tell the truth, the people in the ordinary cells here, there is still hope for life, they will never dare to speak, they are afraid of the government, they are afraid of being plotted, even if they are re-arraigned, they can't ask any words."
"Young master, death row is too dangerous, just go and see it alone, don't go, young master."
"Hong Xinyu, you are by my side, where can't I go."
When Zheng Xunrui said this, Hong Xinyu's face turned red, and his eyes immediately became resolute.
The jailer came over and heard that Zheng Xunrui and Hong Xinyu were going to death row to have a look, and shook their heads again and again, death row is not something that anyone can go in to see, but when Hong Xinyu took out a small ingot of gold, the jailer's face showed a greedy look, without too much hesitation, after taking the gold, he took Zheng Xunrui and others and walked in the direction of death row.
After opening the prison door, the jailer repeatedly told them that there were all extremely vicious criminals, some of whom were waiting to be beheaded by the Autumn Queen, some of whom were repeat offenders and heinous crimes, and some of them were even real outlaws.
The jailer didn't expect that there were people Zheng Xunrui and others cared about, but he got the gold, so what did he do with so much.
The stone steps extend to the ground, it is already March, the climate outside is slowly warming, but what I feel here is still the biting cold, the steps are wet, and the smell of fishy smell comes from the stairs, which shows that the humidity of the death row below is very large, in other words, this is not a place where people can stay at all.
The jailer lit the torch and was able to see the steps clearly.
There is moss on the steps, it is very slippery, Zheng Xunrui walked down carefully, if he is not careful, it is easy to slip and fall, and it must be uncomfortable to roll down on the steps.
Walking up the stairs, by the light of the torches, you can see rows of cells, which should not be considered cells strictly speaking, they are about the same as kennels, less than 50 centimeters high, and it is impossible for the prisoners to make any movements in the cells.
The jailer handed the torch to Hong Xinyu, he didn't want to walk around the cell, although he was used to seeing it, but no jailer was willing to go to the death row to inspect, it was disgusting to look at, except for someone to deliver a meal every day, no one would come in the rest of the time, Fangzheng death row was locked tightly, and the iron railing with the thickness of a thumb made it impossible for anyone to escape.
Of course, the jailer will not open the iron bars of death row, something is really going to happen, and he can't afford it.
Hong Xinyu walked in front with a torch, Zheng Xunrui followed behind, his heart was a little uncomfortable, it is said that these people are heinous prisoners, such a severe punishment is nothing, and most of the people who are on death row have no chance of survival, and they can be exiled for 3,000 miles on arraignment, which is the lightest punishment.
The breath of death row is completely different from that of ordinary cells, the surroundings are very quiet, and occasionally the sound of iron shackles can be heard, which is very crisp, no one speaks, and no one even **, which makes people feel creepy, and a gloomy atmosphere echoes around, such an environment is suffocating, I really don't know how the people on death row survived.
"Young master, come and see."
Hong Xinyu stopped and looked into the cage.
Zheng Xunrui also noticed that these were two cages next to each other, and the people being detained were completely different from others, they were all very young, and more importantly, there was a young woman.
Putting a woman on death row is a very rare situation, and at this moment, Zheng Xunrui even thought of Su San, a very famous woman in the opera, who was imprisoned on death row because she was framed.
The woman did not have shackles around her neck, probably because of her gender, but she had shackles on her hands and feet, and the man in the cage next to her was also very young, with a bloodless face, and naturally had shackles around her neck and shackles on her feet, but this young man, as if he didn't care about his suffering, kept looking at the cage next to him.
The torches lit up the surroundings, and the man's eyes finally turned, and his curled body moved towards the cage next to him, as if he wanted to see the woman in the cage next to him, but unfortunately the shackles and shackles limited him and prevented him from doing so.
The young man's body looks very strong, as if he is a practitioner, but the breath revealed is a little sven, without the slightest violent atmosphere, such a person should be said to be very good, why did he enter the death row, can it be said that this man and woman killed people because of adultery, you must know that this is a very strict crime, and it cannot be forgiven.
Hong Xinyu probably saw the difference of young people, so she stopped.
The young man looked at Zheng Xunrui and Hong Xinyu and whispered a word.
"Dog officer, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost......"
It was this sentence that made Zheng Xunrui deny the thinking of adultery, if this pair of men and women were imprisoned for adultery, they would never say such a thing, the young man's body was full of scars, it looked shocking, and he had obviously been tortured.
Hong Xinyu saw Zheng Xunrui nodding and asked.
"What kind of crime are you, you are on death row, who is this woman, so concerned."
The young man was stunned for a moment, and a sneer appeared on his pale face.
"You want me to die, why do you ask so much......"
The young woman also woke up at this time, and after hearing the man's words, she hurriedly spoke.
"Su Lang, don't say it, it's all the slave family that has affected you......"
The woman's words were choked, but she didn't cry, probably because the tears had dried up.
"Isn't that some adultery between you?"
Hong Xinyu's words angered the young man, and the man glared angrily.
"Dog official, it's not enough to frame me for colluding with the rogue, but also add the charge of adultery, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add, you are too vicious, I would have known that I would have gone to the rogue, hum, I am innocent with Miss Ma, we have a marriage contract......"
The woman next to her finally cried, and the resentful cry echoed on death row, which was extremely miserable.
Zheng Xunrui's body trembled slightly, and slowly spoke.
"Are you a reader?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, and a sad smile appeared on his face.
"Study, what's the use of reading, what's the use of fame, in the end it's not that you've been framed."
"Don't complain so much, they're all on death row, what's the use of saying this, say your name, where is the person, and the rest don't need to be said." ……
When he walked out of prison, Zheng Xunrui's face was like water, but Hong Xinyu knew that things must be bad.
"Hong Xinyu, get ready, let's go to the north of the city to have a look and figure out the specific situation."
"Young master, let's go down, my subordinates will definitely be able to investigate clearly."
Zheng Xunrui looked at Hong Xinyu.
"Hong Xinyu, you have been by my side for so many years, you know what is the most important thing, in this Xi'an Mansion City, if the bully is in charge, what way do the people have to live, don't talk about exterminating the Liukou, I'm afraid that the Liukou are coming, and the people will rebel."
Hong Xinyu lowered his head and didn't speak, of course he could understand what the young master meant.
Back at the governor's yamen, Zheng Xunrui found Xu Wanghua. The two had been discussing for a long time, and neither knew what they were discussing.
Hong Xinyu had already made preparations, and personally went to the pro-military camp stationed in the middle courtyard of the governor's yamen, and selected ten of the most elite pro-soldiers, these people are basically from Hongjiabao, and their skills are by no means ordinary.
The preparations for the investigation were completed in the shortest possible time, and Hong Xinyu knew the importance of this investigation, and perhaps after this investigation, it would cause turmoil in Xi'an and even Shaanxi.
The young master's temper Hong Xinyu knows it, and he forbears it on weekdays, but once it breaks out, it will be amazing
