Chapter 180: That Little Thing in the Cell

The sudden situation made the atmosphere in the prison tense, Lao Qian pulled Hu Ye over, protected Hu Ye behind him, moved the horizontal knife on his waist, and stared viciously at the prisoner in the cell.

"Dare to be a prisoner, how dare you be rude to adults!" Ma Fei was also shocked, and the whip in his hand had already been whipped.

However, since the cell was made of solid cypress wood, the gap was not too large, and the whip did not hit the prisoner at all, but only made a snapping sound.

Hu Ye was also afraid for a while, just a little closer just now, and this kind of thing happened. I wanted to see what was different about this prison, but I was harassed by the inmates.

But that voice seems to have been heard somewhere, and it is still a little familiar.

"Childe, please save me!" The prisoner was startled by Ma Fei's whip, and hurriedly took a few steps back, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Hu Ye, crying loudly.

"What's the matter with you, isn't there any grievance?" Although he was taken aback by this prisoner just now, Hu Ye still mustered up the courage to ask.

I haven't seen any winds and waves, Zhu Di has scolded, Zhu Yuanzhang has also scolded Sang Huai, and he will be afraid that a small prisoner will not succeed.

"Hmph, what grievances can he have, it was really my cousin who personally arrested him that day. The stolen goods were all seized, and he also signed and pleaded guilty, and if he didn't stay in prison for ten years, he didn't want to get out. Ma Fei looked at the prisoner inside coldly and told Hu Ye about his crime.

"What did you do?" Hu Ye listened to Ma Fei's words and looked at the prisoner inside curiously.

"Back to my son's words, that day, I had no choice but to work for a boss, and after a month, I got a total of five taels of silver. But when I was about to leave, I was suddenly stopped by the boss, saying that I robbed the five taels of silver. Then the officials came and took me back to the yamen. The prisoner began to tell Hu Ye a different story.

"Wages are wages. Why do you say that you robbed you, did the people in the yamen sentence you indiscriminately? Hu Ye looked at the prisoner curiously, and then looked at Ma Fei's face, basically there was no fluctuation, but the flicker of his eyes did not escape Hu Ye's eyes.

So Hu Ye judged that what the prisoner said must be somewhat true, thinking that this was another case of torture. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing on my first day in office. Originally, I didn't want to take office and come to the three fires, but since I ran into it today, let's take care of it.

"I didn't believe that there would be such a high-paying job at the time, so I did it with the attitude of giving it a try. Who knew that the boss was like this. When I arrived at the court, the people of the yamen also thought that it was impossible to have five taels of silver in wages, so they judged that I had robbed the five taels of silver. I was sentenced to ten years in this prison, but the five taels of silver were really the wages that the boss gave me. The prisoner said sincerely.

"Hugh wants to talk nonsense, five taels of silver a month, how can there be such a high-wage job, our warden's annual offering is only twenty taels, can you say that you can catch up with my warden as an official for a year after four months?" Ma Fei drank. It is also well-founded.

Hu Ye was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what he was doing, but he didn't expect this Ma Fei to be so clear. But it's also true, how can there be such a high-paying errand. If there is, it must also be a high-risk errand.

Speaking of which, Hu Ye couldn't figure out whether what the prisoner said was true or false. For five taels of silver, the boss is either a philanthropist or a fool. But all the current businessmen are not stupid, they are all iron roosters, and it is impossible to give such a high salary. Maybe it's five taels of silver. It could have been robbed or stolen by the prisoner.

"Ma Prison Boss is right, this salary is indeed higher, and no boss will give this price at all. You said that the five taels of silver were the wages given to you by the boss, do you have any evidence? Hu Ye asked the prisoner curiously.

"I ...... I. The prisoner was spitting for a long time, but he could not remember how to prove it, "At that time, the boss called me into a room alone, and gave me a salary that no one else saw. ”

"That means that no one will be able to prove your words, and the cultivator is here to induce the Warden." Ma Fei snorted coldly and then said to Hu Ye, "Lord Warden, if this kid really has any evidence, he will be taken out when the case is tried at the beginning, and he will not be convicted." So don't waste your time, it's dark and damp here, let's go outside and bask in the sun, otherwise it's not good for your health. ”

"You are talking nonsense, I didn't confess my guilt at all, you beat me into a confession." The prisoner roared, and then kowtowed to Hu Ye, "Childe, you have to believe me, it was really the salary given to me by the boss, and they colluded with that boss to want us to work for him for nothing." There are still a lot of people in that boss's workshop now, so Childe can go and ask them, and there must be a lot of people like me outside. In order to calm things down, they must not have asked for wages, otherwise they would have been imprisoned like me. ”

"Childe, please save me."

"Young master......" Old Qian looked at Hu Ye with some confusion.

"How do you believe I'm going to save you? Do I look like that kind of nice person? Hu Ye slowly took two steps forward, came to the door of the cell again, looked at the prisoner and said.

"Childe, I know that you are a good person, otherwise you wouldn't have given me half a piece of baked cake." The prisoner said loudly.

Hearing the words of half a piece of baked cakes, Hu Ye suddenly remembered that when he was in Beiping half a year ago, he took his old money to walk outside Zhengyangmen that day and bought two baked cakes. When he was halfway through it, he met a beggar and, seeing that he was pitiful, gave half of the bread to the beggar.

Only himself and Lao Qian knew about it, and it was the beggar. Now that this prisoner can tell the events of that year, it can only mean that this prisoner is the beggar half a year ago, no wonder I feel a little familiar when I listen to his voice.

Hearing this, Hu Ye already believed that what this prisoner said must be true. Imagine if he would rob five taels of silver, he would have become a beggar outside Beiping City half a year ago? Grab a few stalls and don't you have to go hungry?

"Half a pancake? What kind of baked cakes, even you, a prisoner, want to have a relationship with me? Master, I came to visit the prison today on a whim, but I didn't expect to encounter such an unfortunate thing. Old money, go! Hu Ye said viciously, and then walked out of the prison with the old money.

Ma Fei breathed a sigh of relief, this little master is finally leaving, don't let him see any clues. But it seemed that this little master was not confused by the prisoner's words, so it was good, so Ma Fei also hurriedly followed.

"Hey, brother, the current dog officials are the same, you might as well ask him for the Bodhisattva." In the cell, another prisoner said slowly.

"No, he's not like other dog officers, I trust him." The prisoner, who had a relationship with Hu Ye, said very seriously, because Hu Ye winked at him when he left. (To be continued......)
