Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Ye Xiaotian, male, 19 years old, lives in Xiquzi Hutong, Xuanwu Street, Beijing, and is a jailer in Xuanzi No. 1 Prison, a prison prison of the Criminal Department.
Ye Xiaotian's status as a jailer is inherited from his father, and the old Ye family is a hereditary jailer, which is a rule set by Emperor Hongwu: the son inherits the father's business and passes it on from generation to generation.
If you are a soldier, there must be one of your sons who is a soldier, and if your mother-in-law does not give you a boy, then find one from your relatives, and if there is no male among your relatives, then find one wherever you go, even if you turn one from the street, you have to make up for this deficiency anyway.
If you are a cook in a craftsman's household, but your father dies before you learn to stir-fry, and you don't know how to cook at all, so it doesn't matter, when the government needs to call the kitchen servants, you can go and do it, you can't cook and burn the fire, right? Anyway, the food you cook as an official will not eat, and the number of people must be right. If you are a doctor and you don't know how to ...... medicine, then we just pay a silent tribute to the patient in advance.
The identity of the Ye family's jailer was passed to Ye Xiaotian's father, and Old Man Ye was a lone seedling when he was a child. But Daddy Ye was very competitive, and he gave birth to twins in one go, the eldest son Ye Xiao'an and the second son Ye Xiaotian. Xiao Tian was unexpectedly now twins, and he added a son.
Ye Xiaotian really didn't like this cheesy name, and because he was already used to being called, he couldn't beat the gong and drum to tell the world if he changed the new name, so he solemnly protested to Lao Tzu [After that, with the consent of the old man, Ye Xiaotian became Ye Xiaotian.
Old Man Ye's jailer identity can only be passed on to a son, and it stands to reason that it should be passed on to Ye Xiao'an, who crawled out of his mother's belly first, but Xiao An was frightened when he was a child, and once he lifted the bed, he saw a cauliflower snake that crawled out of the restaurant next door and hid in his bed, and since then he has become particularly cowardly and honest.
Old man Ye considered that there were a lot of people in the prison and it was not suitable for this honest son, so he took out his life savings and opened a rice and flour oil mill for his eldest son, and passed on the promising profession of prison jailer to his second son Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian bought the wine and food for Huang Shilang and returned to the prison, and saw that it was time to hand over the shift after finishing this errand, so he quickened his pace, but as soon as he entered the prison, he saw the prison officer Lord Liu coming from under the corridor from a distance, Ye Xiaotian hurriedly stopped, and saluted Lord Liu from afar.
The prison officer's name is Liu Yong, he is in his early fifties, with a red face, not tall, but very sturdy, and his clothes are similar to Ye Xiaotian's, except that he has a red back armor on the outside of the green clothes.
The prison is a petty official from the ninth grade, and no matter how small it is, he is also an official, especially in the No. 1 prison of Xuanzi in this heavenly prison, he is a character who is the only one, and he has a kind of extraordinary spirit between his demeanor.
Ye Xiaotian leaned over and smiled: "Liu Si is fine." ”
"Hmm!"
Liu Yong snorted from his nose, glanced at the food box in his hand, and knew that he was making extra money. These jailers paid him filial piety every month, so he always turned a blind eye to such things that did not break the rules.
Liu Sijiao said: "You came just in time, the kitchen is preparing wine and meat, you can send it to Yang Si in a while." ”
Ye Xiaotian said strangely: "How do you add vegetables to Yang Shen's stick inexplicably?" Yes! It's not that his case has been decided, this is ...... Want to serve the market? ”
Since Ye Xiaotian took over his father's mission, he has sent countless pieces of wine and meat to the prison, but in addition to the wine and meat that the prisoners bought with their own money, he has only sent five copies, and each one sent means that a life is about to leave.
Liu Yong didn't answer, just glanced at him lightly, raised his hands and walked away. Ye Xiaotian stood stunned for a moment, shook his head slightly, and walked towards Xuanzi No. 1 Prison.
Ye Xiaotian handed over the wine and meat to Huang Shilang, turned around and came to Yang Si's cell again, and saw Yang Si sitting cross-legged on the ground, throwing a few stones on the open ground in front of him, watching the fall of the stones and reciting words, probably deducing the sixty-four hexagrams of Fuxi.
Ye Xiaotian coughed and said, "Lord Yang." ”
Yang Si looked up and saw that it was Ye Xiaotian, and immediately gave up those stones, happily greeted him in front of the prison, and said with a smile: "It seems that the little brother is very interested in Western constellation, but do you want the old man to continue to calculate it for you?" ”
Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "Come on, it always makes people feel weird to calculate the lives of our Ming people with Westerners' things, so Lord Yang should show the kid his face." ”
As long as there is a chance to show off his skills, Yang Si is very happy, as for what physiognomy to use, Yang Si is not picky. Across a wooden fence, he looked at it carefully for a long time, stroked his palms and sighed: "Little brother, you have strange bones, black lips and red lips, and big eyebrows, this is the appearance of great wealth......
"Oh?" Ye Xiaotian stroked his eyebrows, and his eyebrows raised.
Yang Sidao: "The forehead is in charge of intelligence and luck, and your forehead is high and full, so if you have wisdom and intelligence, you can have great luck as a young man." The nose is in charge of wealth and women's popularity, your nose is straight and rich, through the forehead, you can prosper when you are young, and the peach blossoms will bloom. ”
"Is that true?" Ye Xiaotian smiled, everyone loves to listen to good words, even if he knows that it is fake, he touched the bridge of his straight nose, and suddenly felt that he really looked good.
Yang Sizheng said: "That's nature. In fact...... It is the eyes that are in charge of the peach blossom luck, and although your eyes are not peach blossom eyes, they are not far away. As for the nose, Angzang is majestic, straight and rich, and it is in line with that word, hehe! If you have peach blossom luck, you must also have a good capital, what do you say? ”
"Well, that makes sense, it makes sense." Of course, a man can't say that he can't do it, Ye Xiaotian immediately agreed with Yang Si's words, but looking at his half-believing look, he almost untied his clothes on the spot and made some verification.
Yang Si stroked his sparse beard and continued leisurely: "You have a wide hall, a smooth color, bright eyes, and a raised corner of your eyes, and it is easy for a person with this kind of face to succeed in doing things. In addition, your ears are beautiful, white, well-defined, and have thick beads, which is a sign of great blessing. Your lips are red and your teeth are white, and your people are deep and broad, this is the appearance of Yifu Wangzi......"
Ye Xiaotian's expression froze, and he was stunned: "Yifu Wangzi's appearance?!" ”
Yang Si hurriedly changed his words and said: "Slip of the tongue, if a woman is born with such a face, then it will be like this, but you are a man, this kind of face means great wealth and wealth, hehehe, little brother, you have a three-star photo of Fulushou, and your life will be smooth and wishful." ”
Ye Xiaotian smiled, shook his head amusedly, and said, "Lord Yang, you have to shoot the sycophants just right." Fu Lu Shou three-star high photo? Alas, the jailer of Fu Lu Shou is still a jailer, where can I go. ”
Yang Si's few heads on the top of his head shook suddenly, and he said angrily: "Fart!" What a big sycophant, this is all shown by your face. Think of me Yang Sinai is a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, how many high-ranking officials and adults have to grovel and compliment me when they see me, does the old man need to slap your little jailer on the horse? ”
Ye Xiaotian stretched out a finger and pointed to the prison, and teased: "Lord Yang, wake up, you are now a prisoner, good Hamotti was brave back then!" ”
A few erect white sticks on the top of Yang Si's head suddenly drooped, sticking softly to the flesh-red scalp, like a defeated cricket drooping its beard in frustration, and said stupidly: "Although the old man is now a prisoner, the old man has studied Yi Li since he was a child, and there is no problem in physiognomy!" ”
Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "Okay, accept your auspicious words, this time Xiaotian will believe you, adult, I will buy some wine and meat to invite you in a while, it will be regarded as Xiaotian to pay you hexagram." ”
Yang Si was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and thanked him again and again, but when Ye Xiaotian walked five or six steps, Yang Si suddenly came back to his senses, he suddenly took a step forward, grabbed the fence, and yelled: "Little Yezi, you stop for me!" ”
Ye Xiaotian slowly stood up and turned around slowly, still with a shallow smile on his face. Yang Si clasped the fence tightly with both hands, looked at him directly, and said slowly: "Guillotine wine!" Is it the old man's guillotine wine? ”
Ye Xiaotian's right eyebrow raised slightly, then fell gently, and the smile on his face gradually dissipated.
Yang Si saw it in his eyes, and laughed miserably, his big skinny hands tightly clasped the fence, but his body seemed to be pressed by a huge boulder, sliding down inch by inch. It wasn't until he slumped on the ground that he laughed hoarsely and miserably: "The old man's time limit...... It's ......?"
Ye Xiaotian walked back slowly, looked at him through the prison door, shook his head, and said pityingly: "Lord Yang, why don't you enjoy this last dinner happily?" So shrewd, why bother? ”
Yang Si said abruptly: "In his life, the old man has only done three things: self-deception, deception, and being bullied. Now that he is going to die, the old man just wants to be a person who understands, and he doesn't want to be a fool anymore! ”
Ye Xiaotian shook his head helplessly, turned around and wanted to leave, Yang Si suddenly leaned over, the thin old hand stretched out from the fence, grabbed his ankle, his thin cheeks pressed against the wooden fence, and shouted: "Don't go, the old man has a big thing to support!" ”
Ye Xiaotian pulled out his leg hard, but Yang Si didn't know where he got so much strength, and he clasped his ankle so tightly that Ye Xiaotian couldn't break free at all.
Ye Xiaotian frowned, squatted down slowly, and a coldness gradually appeared in his eyes: "Lord Yang, we are very familiar, aren't we?" But you and I don't kiss each other, nor do we bring the cause, and we can't talk about friendship! Xiaotian is just a little jailer, if I can give you some convenience within my ability, I will not refuse, but I will not do anything out of the ordinary! ”
Ye Xiaotian's voice was very light and light, but his tone was very resolute: "When my father handed over this iron rice bowl to me, he told me four words: 'Follow the rules!'" 'Since the Yuan Dynasty, our Ye family has been the jailer of the Criminal Department, after the death of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Zhu was replaced, and our Ye family is still a jailer guarding the prison, as long as we do our duty and do not go wrong, our Ye family's bowl of public rice can always be eaten! ”
The corners of Ye Xiaotian's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a hint of mockery that he didn't know what to say: "Our Ye family is a lowly servant, but to say something rebellious, even if one day the Ming Dynasty dies, it will be the emperor and his family who lose their heads, and they can't get along with us lowly servants, who doesn't need us to sit in the world?" We eat this bowl of communal rice in the same way. Lord Yang, I value this rice bowl very much, although in the eyes of you big people, it is extremely lowly. If you smash my job, please excuse me! ”
Yang Si laughed hoarsely and said, "You don't have to be afraid, I can still let you rob the prison?" Even if you're willing, you don't have that ability, do you? I was just...... I want you to help me take a message out, as long as you agree, the old man will have a big benefit for you. ”
Ye Xiaotian didn't ask any benefit at all, and refused this ** without hesitation, he shook his head and said: "Lord Yang, colluding with the offender inside and outside the office, once caught, it is a capital crime, you don't know this rule, right?" ”
Yang Si said sadly: "The old man is clearly an outcast now, who else can collude?" The old man just wants you to give a message to my family, and after the old man dies, this ...... It's not against the rules, is it? ”
Ye Xiaotian looked at him and said, "That's it?" ”
Yang Si nodded vigorously: "That's it!" ”
Ye Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief and blurted out, "What is the big benefit you said?" ”
Yang Si was stunned for a moment before he said, "Uh...... Fifty taels of silver, how! ”
"Fifty taels?"
Ye Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and he responded happily: "What last words does Lord Yang have, I can say it now!" ”
