Chapter 233: Prison Visits (2)

The cells of the whole Daming are probably the same, dark, damp, and unusually cold.

If it's a hot summer, it's a great place to escape the heat, but of course, if you can stand the smell that can't be dispersed all year round.

The jailers and prisoners were familiar with it, and the smell was not very strong on their nerve stimulation, and when they heard Xiaoyu coming often, they were mentally prepared, and they frowned slightly, and they returned to normal.

Meng Yan didn't think anything, he had been in prison for a few days, and the environment in the men's prison was much worse than that in the women's prison!

It's not a place for people.

He thought about it, after he went back, he would definitely reform the edict of Beiya, improve the living environment of prisoners, God has the virtue of a good life, every life, even if he makes a mistake, he should be punished in prison, but at least human rights must be given!

This is not to say that these criminals have committed crimes and have to go to prison to enjoy happiness, but we must not lose our own humanity!

These cell bosses and jailers who guard the prisoners stay in such an environment all day long, and their personalities are somewhat distorted.

In the women's prison guard's room, four female jailers are eating around a table, and the jailers who work here can't resist the cold in the prison without drinking.

A half-drunk female jailer stared at a pair of red eyes and said, "What crime did Bai Suxin commit?" How did you end up with a thousand cuts? ”

"Adulterer, great rebellion and unfilial piety, it's just a pity that at this age, this flower-like appearance?"

"She's damned, she's got the face of a fox. Born to seduce men? ”

"Who commits adultery, and who is the adulterer? It's all here, why hasn't she said it yet? A female jailer retorted.

"Adultery, I don't believe that this girl like a flower can do such a depraved thing?"

"You look at her pitiful, it's all pretended, this vixen is the best at pretending......"

"What are you talking about, if you pour a little horse urine, you don't know who you are?" Zhang Xiaohua walked over and scolded her face.

"Sister Hua, isn't this idle chatter. Anyway, it's okay to do it on this cold day. The old jailer explained.

"Small talk. Can't talk about anything else, do you have to talk about that Bai Suxin? ”

"What else can we talk about?"

"Lao Gu, come out!" Zhang Xiaohua greeted the old jailer.

"Sister Hua, what's the matter?"

"Good thing." Zhang Xiaohua glared. The frightened old jailer, Lao Gu, hurriedly ran out of it!

"Sister-in-law Gu!"

"Smell the big shopkeeper. It's ...... today."

"I know and ask. Quick, bring the shopkeeper to this son, they are here to visit Bai Suxin. Zhang Xiaohua commanded.

"Sister Hua. Could that man be ......?"

"Don't ask around, and don't chew the root of your tongue, people who talk too much will not end well." Zhang Xiaohua scolded coldly.

These women who have nothing to do when they are full must be gossiping about their identities, and they probably think that they are the adulterers of Bai Suxin, right?

However, Meng Yan didn't bother to explain how Bai Suxin's "adulterer" hat would never be worn on his head.

A year ago, he was still in the desert, how could he come to Beijing to commit adultery with Bai Suxin?

After the autumn decision, there was a lot of emptiness in the prison of the Criminal Department, and those who should be sentenced to death, after committing the trick, had already been pulled to the entrance of the vegetable market to be cut and beheaded, and there were some unsolved cases left in the prison, and some had just committed crimes.

Generally speaking, there are not many women who commit crimes, and even fewer can be held in prison in the penal department.

Although it is not as strict as the Jinyi Guard, it is not much worse.

Seeing the unkempt female prisoners behind the fence, their blank and desperate eyes, Meng Yan really had a feeling that he didn't know what to say.

Maybe they really committed a crime, but it is also inhumane to suffer this crime, dirty cells, thin prison clothes, such a cold winter, maybe some of them can't survive this winter, and if they can't wait for the verdict, they can't hold on.

As soon as a person dies, whether it is an unjust case or a real murderer, the case is over.

In the Ming Dynasty, adultery and murder were a major crime, and as long as the evidence was conclusive, it was punishable by death.

This capital punishment is Ling Chi, commonly known as a thousand cuts.

Bai Suxin was sentenced to Ling Chi by Dongchang, if he hadn't been beaten back here in the Criminal Department, it is estimated that this case would have been closed long ago.

Even if Bai Suxin was really wronged, it was the day when the stone sank to the bottom of the sea and never saw the light of day.

Due to the care of someone outside, although Bai Suxin is a repeat offender, the women's prison has specially opened a single room for her, with hay and cotton wool, and even the prison uniform is specially thickened.

There is even a separate toilet for going to the toilet, so you don't have to defecate in the corner like other female prisoners.

"Bai Suxin, Bai Suxin, someone has come to see you!" In front of the iron prison, Zhang Xiaohua, the head of the female cell, stretched out her hand and shook the cell door, and shouted at the slender woman with long hair and shawl with her back to the cell door.

"Open the cell door, let's go in!" Meng Yan commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Xiaohua agreed and motioned to Lao Gu to open the prison door.

Lao Gu hurriedly stepped forward, took off the key on his waist, and opened the iron door from the outside.

"You two don't stay here, the official will explain when you go out in a while!" Meng Yan commanded.

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly bowed her head and answered, pulling the old jailer Lao Gu who was still in a daze and left quickly.

"Sister Xiaoyu, are you here?" Bai Suxin turned around and saw Wen Xiaoyu, and there was a trace of joy in his eyes.

"Today is my uncle's death day, I went to the grave to worship before I came, have you waited for a long time?" Wen Xiaoyu put down the food box and said with a smile.

"Who is this son?" Bai Suxin noticed Meng Yan and asked.

Meng Yan wasn't observing this Bai Suxin, and sure enough, as the rumors said, although he was in prison and had been tempered, it did not affect his graceful demeanor at all.

Hair shawl, graceful and graceful. The round chin, the cherry-like mouth, and the eyes that were still shining despite being full of melancholy, there was a hint of agility, and there was no place where the beauty of a young woman did not show the beauty of a young woman.

She was only nineteen years old, which was the same age as a flower in her previous life, and she was even under the care of her parents. Live a carefree life.

And such a stunning beauty in front of her has suffered such an inhuman ordeal. It's a kind of heartache.

"Jin Yiwei, Meng Yan!" Meng Yan reported his origin and name.

When Bai Suxin heard the words "Jinyiwei", his body trembled slightly, as if he was very afraid of these three words.

Jin Yiwei is in the capital, which is the role of "children stop crying". Ordinary people also changed their color when they heard it. It is reasonable for Bai Suxin to have such a reaction.

"Sinner girl Bai Suxin knocks on Lord Meng!" Bai Suxin knelt down.

Meng Yan has long been following the customs. Although he doesn't like to bow down, but in this era, it is this Yang's, and the people see the officials. On formal occasions, it is a prostration.

"Plain girl, please get up!" Meng Yan had a good first impression of Bai Suxin, and he also had a detailed understanding of some of the situation, and he also had a preliminary judgment on Bai Suxin's case.

Now that he sees Bai Suxin himself, the judgment in his heart is becoming clearer.

"Su Xin, Master Meng is a trustworthy person, you can say anything to him." Wen Xiaoyu reminded in a whisper.

Bai Suxin glanced at Meng Yan with some consternation, she didn't think that this young Jinyi Wei could help her.

"Su Xin, if you want to overturn the case and wash away your grievances, I'm afraid no one can help you except Lord Meng." Wen Xiaoyu said again.

Bai Suxin was even more surprised, with her understanding of Wen Xiaoyu, if she wasn't really sure, she wouldn't have said it.

"If Miss Suxin has anything to say, you might as well say it, Meng will definitely do her best if she can help." Meng Yan nodded.

"Thank you, Master Meng!" Bai Suxin bowed down again.

"Miss Suxin, I've only heard about your case, and the specific inside story is not very clear, I don't know if Miss Suxin can tell me the details of the case?" Meng Yan and Wen Xiaoyu sat down.

"That day was the eighth day of the ninth month, the weather was a little stuffy, I made pastries in the morning, in the afternoon, the guests gradually decreased, I planned to take a bath and change clothes, back to Fang Jiang, just put down a bucket of water, ready to close the door, at this time Jiao Hong came in from the outside......"

"So, is Jiao Hong trying to insult you, you don't obey, you two are scuffling in the room?" As soon as Meng Yan heard this narrative, his heart immediately sank, and sure enough, it was not far from what he guessed!

"Yes."

"Then how did your fiancé Li Chengyan die in your room?" Meng Yan continued to ask.

"My family and the Chengyan family were originally world friends, we were family affairs set when we were young, and then the uncle of the Li family became bigger and bigger, and my father resigned because of some things, so we have known each other since childhood, that day Li Lang came to me, ready to ask me to go out of the city the next day for an autumn trip, who would have thought, just bumped into Jiao Hong with the intention of insulting me, Li Lang was angry, and Jiao Hong fought......"

"Li Chengyan is a hundred households in Jinyi, it shouldn't be bad to stretch out his hand, Jiao Hong is just a gangster, why did he kill Li Chengyan?" After listening to Bai Suxin's description, Meng Yan was a little puzzled.

"Although Jiao Hong is a bastard, he knows martial arts, and he is also a secret agent of Dongchang!" Bai Su said in his heart.

"Jiao Hong is a secret agent of the East Factory?" Meng Yan was shocked, the mystery seemed to open a gap, no wonder Dongchang took over the case, and directly sentenced Bai Suxin to a Ling Chi, it turned out that Jiao Hong still had such an identity.

"Jiao Hong is the identity of the secret agent of the East Factory, how did Miss Suxin know?" Immediately, Meng Yan had a trace of doubt.

This case caused a sensation in the capital, since it was wronged, among the many rumors, there were also rumors close to the truth, but there were none, and Jiao Hong, the informant, rarely mentioned it, and his identity was only the younger brother of Bai Suxin's stepmother.

It stands to reason that Bai Suxin still wants to call Jiao Hong "uncle", which is a difference in seniority, but Bai Suxin is so beautiful, it is inevitable that Jiao Hong will have a bad heart.

"Once, I passed by the door of Xiaoniang and heard the conversation between their sisters and brothers, and overheard that Jiao Hong was secretly working for Dongchang, so he ......" (to be continued......
