Chang Jiaotou squinted his little eyes and thought about it, stared at Xu Liang and said compassionately: "Seeing that you kid is quite like that, then let's take a trip." However, it's okay if what you said is true, if not, hum, then you will know the stakes of Grandpa Chang. ”

Xu Liang patted his chest and packed the ticket, "It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong." Chang Cell, you just go. When I met someone in the place, just report my name to Xu Liang. ”

"Hmm." Chang Prison nodded, stared at Xu Liang threateningly, and then paced out leisurely.

Xu Liang cursed at the back of the head of the cell through the iron bar, and secretly scolded that it was really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, thinking that I was the original magistrate of the county, the leader of the Liang army, when did I whisper so low to a person who watched the prison door? I meditated in my heart about several ways to get out and get revenge on the damn cell boss, and after thinking for a while, I sighed again when I thought of the current situation.

"Hey, young man, did you just come in?" Suddenly, from the next cell, there was a question in the voice of a male duck, which was a little old, but it sounded full of banter, a little bit of schadenfreude.

When Xu Liangzuo heard such a voice, he was still shocked, and squeezed the iron fence to look at the next room, but because of the limited vision, he didn't see anything, and couldn't help but reply angrily: "Yes." Who are you? I've been locked up here for a long time, right? Fortunately, I will be honored. ”

The man laughed coldly, "Just now did our family hear that you are going to make a deal with that cell boss?" ”

"So what?"

"What a young man who doesn't know the world," the man sneered, "and we tell you, there are few people in this world who are more shameless than those who watch their cells." You doll still want to make a deal with him, what a big wrongdoer. ”

Could it be that this man had a holiday with the head of the cell? Xu Liang thought in his heart, but he didn't think so, "I think this Chang cell boss is quite real, I pay for it, he contributes, he buys and sells fairly, and Tong Su is not bullied." Didn't you suffer a lot of losses at the hands of the cell boss, so you deliberately slandered others? ”

"You don't believe it!" The man snorted angrily and exclaimed: "Well, our family is also boring, so I will talk to you about it, so that you can know the sinister nature of this person's heart." ”

Xu Liang was amused when he heard it, there are still such idle and boring prisoners in this edict, who want to talk to others about the world to pass the time? But thinking that he was idle, he sat by the iron gate and said lazily: "Tell me, what kind of sinister method this person has." ”

The man seemed to be a little angry when he heard Xu Liang's tone, and walked to the door with heavy footsteps, sat on the ground, and said angrily: "Let's talk about this cell boss, you also heard it just now, Chang The cell head said, you can have three meals of green vegetables and vegetables a day in this local number room, that's good, others will nibble on some black steamed buns a day, and drink a bowl of porridge to live?" ”

"Yes, the cell boss did." Xu Liang remembered this kind of thing clearly and naturally admitted it.

"That's it." The man sneered: "Young man, you just came, and you don't know the doorway in this prison. Jinyiwei's edict prison cell is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. The best is the Tianzi room, where the prisoners have three meals a day, meat and vegetarian meals, and they can mix a little wine and drink from time to time. A little less is the place number room that you and I are closing now, and three meals are guaranteed, although it is green vegetables and radish, so three meals can be guaranteed. What's worse is the herringbone room, two meals a day, leftovers, love to eat or not. The saddest thing is the last category, the ghost number room, one meal a day, what to eat, is the black steamed bun that Chang Cell Boss said, porridge, the people locked in it survive to tell fortunes, and it is normal to die. ”

Xu Liang was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that there was such a kind of doorway in the edict prison, and after thinking about it, he said strangely: "According to what you said, the room where we are locked up is quite good." But even so, it may be the rules set by the Jinyi Guard's yamen, what does it have to do with the cell boss of the guards? ”

"!" The man swore viciously, "The adults of the Jinyi Guard are high, where will they pay attention to these trivial matters." Originally, the earlier rule in the prison was to eat three meals a day with some vegetables, and the reason why it evolved into such a shape in the end was all made by the cell bosses and prison guards in private. On that day, the name of the place was naturally for the prisoners who had an explanation from the top or whose family members had a point, and the name of the person was for ordinary prisoners, and the ghost number was for those who had offended the cell boss, or for the enemies outside. The cells were divided into four classes, and the food deducted from them naturally went into the pockets of the cell bosses. This is just an ordinary name, and the oil and water are more from the family of the prisoner, or the enemy of the prisoner. The people who come in want to have a better life, so they are willing to be wronged like you and stuff a lot of money. If the people outside want to be locked up inside, they will have to stuff money into the cell heads, and even if they die in prison, they have to stuff money into the cell heads, do their hands and feet from food, and if they get sick, they will not be treated, and from time to time they will be dragged out with a leather whip and beaten badly...... You can't even think of all this! ”

"It won't be so dark, will it?" Xu Liang muttered in disbelief.

"Hmph," the man spat loudly, full of sarcasm: "The cell bosses and jailers who guard the prisoners are all black-hearted and ruthless, and they are basically in charge of this business for generations, and the son inherits the father's business, and holds the life and death of the prisoner in his hands, and in this dark cell, he eats the buyer and the seller, and the seller eats the dealer." Don't look at them when they see Shangguan on weekdays, nodding their heads and bowing their waists, they are extremely deferential, but in fact, they are soft when they make black money in private. ”

Xu Liang was already stunned. It seems that he is still too short in time, too simple, too unfamiliar with the prison guard's business, and can't help but pat his forehead and feel lucky, the tens of thousands of taels of silver spent on Xu Qianhu and others are not wronged, otherwise he is not familiar with life in this Jinyi Guard's prison, if he is locked up in a ghost cell, wouldn't the consequences be unimaginable?

The man hadn't heard Xu Liang speak for a long time, but he thought he was frightened by his own words, and he laughed proudly a few times, and then sneered: "If you don't believe it, when the head of the permanent cell brings the food you want, you can know how dark their hearts are." After that, the man seemed to be very happy, laughed a few times, got up and patted his buttocks, slowly walked back to the head of the bed, lay down, and hummed a small tune in his mouth: "The pretty slave is outside the window." Bites the slave powder cheeks, and unties the fragrant belt with both hands. My brother waited, but he was afraid that someone would come. After a while, there will be no one, and the trouser belt will be untied with you......"

In the evening, Chang Cell Boss came to Xu Liang's cell door with a food box in his hand, smiled and groaned, unlocked it with his own hands, put the food box on the ground, and reached out to take food out of the box as if it were a box. A large bowl of fragrant white rice, a plate of braised pork, a plate of stewed dog meat, a small bowl of broth, and two vegetarian dishes. Put these things on the table, Chang Prison Head grinned and said: "Lord Xu is really a sincere person, during the day, I went to the whole world, found Yan Qi, the head of the house, and reported your name, and Yan Qi made me a guest, and invited me to set up a banquet and send things, and I was enthusiastic." ”

Xu Liang's eyes stared at those tempting dishes, and he was about to drool when he slandered, and he didn't listen to what Chang Cell Boss said at all.

Seeing this, Chang Jiaotou pointed to the food box and said: "I was worried that Lord Xu was still here waiting for me to reply, so I came back early, and I specially prepared these things, and Lord Xu used them slowly." After a while, the adults finished eating, shouted outside, and I asked people to come in and clean up. After saying that, Chang Jiao made a slow gesture and went out with a smile.

Xu Liang remembered what the person next door said in the morning, and couldn't help asking, "Hey, Chang Cell, this table has to cost a lot of money, right?" ”

Chang Cell Boss was out of the prison door at this time, closed the prison door, turned around and grinned: "Not much, not much, it only cost five taels of silver in total, although Lord Xu can rest assured, I Chang Ah Si is a trustworthy person, how much I spend, I will definitely reimburse Yan Qi according to the agreement, and never report more." ”

Xu Liang was stunned when he heard this, and squeezed out a little smile, "Look at what Chang the cell boss said, can Xu still trust you!" ”

After Chang Cell went out, Xu Liang picked up the chopsticks, wiped out the food on the table with a fierce face, and read while eating: Fifteen taels of silver for a table of food, it can't be wasted, well, this piece of dog meat alone is worth four or five dollars of silver, his grandmother's!

Half an hour later, a jailer came in, packed up the plates, bowls, and food boxes, and carried them out. The man next door was laughing.

"Young man, can you eat the mat noodles for five taels of silver? Ha ha! ”

Xu Liang said viciously: "I'm willing!" You are pure envy, jealousy, hatred! ”

"Shh

After two days like this, the court did not send someone to interrogate Xu Liang, and Xu Qianhu of Jinyiwei and several familiar captains did not come to visit Xu Liang in prison, Xu Liang did not communicate well with the outside world, and he was anxious and had no choice. Chang Celltou used a food box to send Xu Liang a box of good food for three meals a day, and of course the price was ridiculously expensive. Xu Liang gritted his teeth every time he ate.

The person next door was still sneering at first, always having to be sarcastic, and on the second day, he didn't even do sarcasm, but on the third day, he didn't bother to talk to Xu Liang.

Xu Liang was surprised in his heart, and asked the reason after the meal, and the man said angrily: "You doll is not righteous!" You ate a mouthful of oil over there, but our family swallowed some green vegetables and radishes on the side, the circumstances are so different, our family has nothing to say to you! ”

Xu Liang smiled: "I can't say that, I have meat to eat, it's better than both of us nibbling on turnips, right?" ”

"What's good? We can't see it. Unexpectedly, that person was also a child's temper, and he still hummed angrily.

Xu Liang was surprised, and grinned: "Look, when I eat, you are also eating, so the smell of meat in my house can always spread a little to you, although you can't eat in your mouth, it's good to smell it." This is the same reason as looking at plums to quench thirst and painting bread to satisfy hunger. ”

The man didn't answer, Xu Liang heard the sound of grinding his teeth, thinking that the person was so angry that he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

The two were silent for a while, and then lowered his voice and said, "Eh, Xu Liang, Lord Xu, I'll discuss something with you." ”

"What's the matter?"

The man said embarrassedly: "Just your food, let's have a share?" ”

Xu Liang suddenly jumped three feet high and shouted, "Why?!" That's a dozen or two meals, it's not a relative, and you're embarrassed to ask for it? ”

The man said curtly: "You see that this place name is locked up for the two of us, that is fate, you are locked up next door to me, speaking of which, we are still the same, cellmate, yes, cellmate!" Besides, I, I won't eat you for nothing. ”
