"Old Niu, give it to you, put it away, I can only write one." Meng Yan handed the completed prison visit form to Niu Dalidao.

"Hehe, don't worry, Master Meng, I know the old cow." Niu vigorously put away the form, "Come with me." ”

The three of them went to the East Division's room, where the main prisoners were prisoners.

"Lord Niu!"

"Open the door, someone is visiting the prison!" Niu nodded vigorously and ordered.

"Lord Niu, there are rules, after the unitary time, you are not allowed to visit the prison, don't make it difficult for us." The captain of the gatekeeper said.

"I'm responsible for something, open the door?" Niu Dali said in a deep voice.

"Okay, Lord Niu goes in and signs a guarantee."

Niu nodded vigorously, the rules can't be static, if you really have something, can't you really go in, haven't the rules become an obstacle to doing things?

Niu Dali is a deputy thousand households, and with this power, others may not be.

Although Meng Yan did not directly participate in the system reform of Jinyiwei, he was one of the drafters of a series of system designs.

In order to reshape the image of Jinyiwei among the government and the opposition officials and the people, it must take the road of institutionalization and standardization.

"Master Meng, Liu Ji'an is in the No. 4 prison room of B, will Lao Niu take you there?" Niu Dali signed the guarantee form under the witness of the prison officer, and Meng Yan also signed it.

"No need, Lao Niu, I'm no stranger here, just let the prison man accompany me." Meng Yan shook his hand.

"Okay, then I'll go back first!" Niu Dali thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Lord Meng. You please! The prison man said cautiously, this person in front of him is a hot figure in Jinyiwei, how can he accidentally stutter.

The dark passage is cold and cold.

"Prison Officer, have all the prisoners here been issued cotton clothes?"

"It's sent, thanks to you, this year we have purchased a batch of cotton clothes, quilts and straw mats, and each prisoner has received a new set of cotton clothes, a new set of bedding, shoes and socks and other utensils!" Prison Path.

"Well, that's fine. Although these people have sinned. But the court did not convict them for a day, and they still had the basic right to survive. Meng Yan said.

"Yes, yes, you're right!"

"And. This sanitary condition needs to be improved. It's been okay this winter. In the summer, it must stink, right? ”

"Yes, yes, it smells terrible."

"How many days do the prisoners take a shower?" Meng Yan asked casually.

"I used to wash it once a month. It's half a month now. "Prison said.

"No, if you want to improve, take a shower every ten or five days, and those who can be locked up with us are all people with identity and ability, understand?"

"Understand, understand, you must remember the teachings of Lord Meng!"

"Master Meng, this is it, Prison Room No. 4, independent." The prison leader led Meng Yan to the front of room four.

"I heard that Liu Ji'an recruited some officials who were complicit, where are they all locked up?"

"They're all in the C-shaped prison district, separated!" Prison explained.

"Okay, I see, just send someone to guard the door." Meng Yan nodded and waved his hand.

"Yes."

The prison servant opened the door for Meng Yan, Meng Yan pushed it gently, then bent down to lift the food box and slowly stepped in.

Liu Ji'an was lying on his side on the straw mat in a red cotton jacket, the quilt covered the lower half of his body, his body curled up, and his face was facing inward.

Probably hearing the sound of the door opening, Liu Ji'an slowly propped up his head, turned around, and was surprised to see that the person who came in was actually Meng Yan, and then sat up with his upper body propped up.

With a trace of horror on his face, he looked at Meng Yan without saying a word.

At this time, when he suddenly saw Meng Yan, Liu Ji'an's heart was mixed, after the accident, except for his own family, none of his former colleagues came to see him, and even those who usually called him brothers and sisters disappeared one by one.

In the past few days in the edict prison, he is living like a year, living a day, as if he is a year old, regretting it, unwilling to have it.

"Lord Liu, I haven't seen you for a few days, your complexion is much worse."

"Master Meng, is this a joke from Liu?" Liu Ji'an snorted, and it didn't seem that his feelings were too out of control.

"No, this official just came to visit an old friend, and he didn't mean to see your jokes." Meng Yan shook his head and said.

"Liu is like this, and Master Meng still came to see Liu, it's really unexpected."

"How can you say that in the prison of the Criminal Department, you Lord Liu did not kill Meng, but also invited Meng to eat meat and drink, it is reasonable, Meng should also come to see you." Meng Yan walked over and put the food box on the old table!

Liu Ji'an got up from the straw mat and turned on the oil lamp on the table slightly, this is a prison, not his own home, and the consumption of lamp oil every night is limited, so he has to save a little.

"Outside, come in with a candle!"

"Yes, sir!" The jailer guarding the door heard Meng Yan's order, agreed, and hurried away.

Meng Yan took out the wine and dishes in the food box one by one, it didn't take long, the dishes were still steaming, and the wine was slightly warm.

"Come, Lord Liu, have a drink?" Meng Yan poured Liu Ji'an and himself a glass of wine each, and raised his glass.

Liu Ji'an was not too pretentious, and raised his glass to touch Meng Yan.

"Master Meng, I'm afraid no one will believe that the two of us will still sit and drink together?" Liu Ji'an raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"In this life, bad people and good people are not absolute, in the eyes of outsiders, you are a corrupt official, in order to get promoted and make a fortune, you do not hesitate to frame good people, and even disregard people's lives, but in the eyes of your parents, wife and children, you are a good son, a good father, a good husband, this is very contradictory, right?" Meng Yan put down his wine glass and filled the two of them with wine again.

"Lord Meng has investigated Liu?" Liu Ji'an was a little surprised.

"Isn't this strange, what is Meng doing, doesn't Lord Liu know?" Meng Yan smiled.

"I forgot about this Liu." Liu Ji'an picked up the wine glass and cocked his neck to drink a glass.

"My lord, the candles are here!" The jailer walked in with a candle.

"Give it to me. You get out! Meng Yan took the candle, lit it, put it on the table, and waved his hand.

"Master Meng, Liu is very grateful that you can come to see me, I know that I deserve it, and I don't plan to get out alive, Liu has something to ask for!" Liu Ji'an suddenly knelt down for Meng Yan and said.

"Lord Liu, according to reason, I should hate you to the core. That night in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. If I hadn't deliberately concealed my identity, you wouldn't have been in this jail, but you say you deserve it. And that's not wrong. You're doing such a bastard. People are raised by their parents, if I don't have another identity, then wouldn't I really be framed as an adulterer by you. And then wait for the autumn queen to ask for a cut? Meng Yan said slowly.

"Master Meng, all the mistakes are Liu's fault, and Liu was dizzy at the time." Liu Ji'an said.

"Why do you want to do this, Lord Liu?"

"Bai Suxin's case has not been concluded for a long time, mainly because the adulterer has not arrived in the case, Liu Mou thought, if the adulterer can be caught, the case can be closed, so that Liu can use this opportunity to get in touch with Dongchang, and from then on he can move forward and go to the next level, Shui Zeng thought that it would be such an ending." Liu Ji'an said dejectedly.

"People go to high places, water flows to low places, this is human nature, but also the law of nature, but you have forgotten your duty to be a man, you use the false accusation to wronged others to call the glory and wealth, can you really enjoy it with peace of mind?" Meng Yan asked.

"I, I ......"

"Since ancient times, how many unscrupulous people can have a good end, even if it is a cool official like Lai Junchen, who is bent on eradicating dissidents for Emperor Wu, in the end, he was killed by Emperor Wu, how are you Liu Ji'an than Lai Junchen and others?"

"Master Meng is the first to drink, Liu is completely sober!" Liu Ji'an bowed.

"Lord Liu, get up, it's useless for you to kowtow to me and repent, think about those who have been planted by you, you should go and kowtow to them and repent."

"Yes, yes, I should kowtow to them and repent!"

"Lord Liu, let me ask you, how much do you know about Bai Suxin's case?" Meng Yan's purpose in coming today is still for Bai Suxin's case.

It's been almost a year since this case arrived at the Criminal Department, and it is impossible for the Criminal Department to ignore it, if Bai Suxin is really wronged, then the real murderer will definitely try his best to understand the case.

The most direct way to end this case is to send Bai Suxin to the guillotine, and as soon as Bai Suxin dies, the case will be closed.

"Master Meng, I just arrived in the prison hall not long ago, and I really don't know much about Bai Suxin's case." Liu Ji'an thought for a while.

"Does Lord Liu really not know, or does he know and don't want to say?" Meng Yan smiled and asked.

"Master Meng, Liu is like this, what else can't be said, but Liu really doesn't know much." Liu Ji'an said.

"Then pick what you know." Meng Yan Road.

"Liu only knew that there was one person who was very interested in this case, and asked someone to inquire about Bai Suxin's situation in prison several times." Liu Ji'an closed his eyes and thought for a while.

"Who?"

"Jiao Hong, I heard that it is Bai Suxin's uncle." Liu Ji'an said.

"This Jiao Hong didn't do anything other than inquire about Bai Suxin's situation in prison?" Meng Yan asked.

"I don't know this, the person he is looking for is not Liu, Liu doesn't know, but Bai Suxin's situation in the prison of the Criminal Department is really bad, he was sick once in the middle, and he almost died of illness in prison, and then he didn't know how to get better, but I heard the prisoners in the prison say that I saw Bai Suxin coughing up blood with my own eyes!" Liu Ji'an said.

"Many people in the prison of the Criminal Department know about this situation, right?"

"I know, this is not a big secret, Lord Meng, you don't know, this female prison is very discriminatory against female prisoners like Bai Suxin, at first she did not live in a single room, but was locked up with other female prisoners......

"Then how did she get into a private room?"

"It's not Bai Suxin's good sister Wen Xiaoyu, she has a close relationship with Master Zhang Xuan, and Zhang Xuan is the direct supervisor of this case, so she was ordered to be kept in solitary confinement, and the situation has improved." Liu Ji'an said.

"Who are the officials of the Criminal Department who have been in contact with Jiao Hong?" Meng Yan asked.

"Master Meng, why do you care so much about Bai Suxin's case?" Liu Ji'an asked curiously.

"Because of the Holy Decree, this official took over the re-investigation of Bai Suxin's adultery and murder case!" Meng Yan explained with a slight smile.

"What?" Liu Ji'an was taken aback. (To be continued......)
