161 Let the traitors go
Lin Yuan didn't expect that this girl turned out to be the daughter of the traitor Xu Bin, only to see her stretching her hand into the iron railing, wanting to catch her father, Xu Bin saw his daughter, didn't care about the pain in his body, knelt on the ground, and stumbled towards her.
These short steps, for Xu Bin, who was wearing a heavy flail, seemed to be a long walk, and finally he approached the iron railing, he wanted to reach over and caress his daughter again, but the flail he was carrying was very long, and his hand couldn't reach through it at all.
The girl stretched out her hand, barely holding Xu Bin's hand, and sobbed silently.
Xu Bin endured the pain, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Xiaoyu, don't cry, how are your grandma and mother?" ”
The girl wanted to speak, but the twitching vocal cords when she cried made her speechless, Xu Bin saw this, smiled and said: "Xiaoyu, it's okay, daddy will go home soon, go home quickly, make medicine for grandma and mother......"
Xu Bin's eyes were full of love, and he wanted to say something more, but he saw a girl named Xiaoyu take off his hand, knelt down at Lin Yuan's feet with a "plop", and cried and said: "My lord, I know that my father has committed a serious crime, please let him go, let me go to jail for him, okay?" ”
Lin Yuan knew that it was impossible to do this, but in the face of the girl's pleading, he couldn't bear to refuse directly, at this moment, the girl begged: "My lord, when the king came to arrest my father today, I begged him to let my father go, he asked me to go to that small shop to steal money, he said that after he caught me in, there was a way to let my father go, I only then admitted that I stole the money, but after they took me to that alley, I knew that he was lying to me, I thought, my lord, you must have a way to save my father, right?" ”
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Xu Bin committed it, but it is a felony of treason, how can a small arrester decide to release such a major matter, that Wang Zhutou is taking advantage of the girl's desire to save her father, and taking advantage of the opportunity, but unfortunately this girl wants to save her father too much, and she doesn't understand such a simple reason." ”
Lin Yuan did have the right to let Xu Bin go, but reason told him that he would never let go of a person who betrayed his compatriots and worked for the Japanese like this!
Shen Wanqing approached Lin Yuan and whispered, "Or, let him go." ”
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a middle-aged man rushed in, and an old servant behind him said repeatedly: "Master, you are not here in this place!" ”
The middle-aged man ignored the old servant, rushed to Xu Bin, and said angrily: "Brother Xian, you are confused! ”
Being able to come here, Lin Yuan knew that this middle-aged man was not an ordinary person, he looked at this man, and vaguely felt that he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
The man's eyes were red, and he slapped the railing with his hand, and the banging sound caused the jailers to look around, but none of them dared to come up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "My brother and sister and aunt are seriously ill, why don't you tell me?" You can't make any money at all in the machine bureau, and in order to treat your younger siblings and aunts, you do things for the Japanese! If you tell me, "Brother, why can't I make money for you?" ”
Xu Bin sighed lightly and said, "There are a lot of things to ask my brother for on weekdays, and it's hard to open my mouth anymore." ”
When the man heard this, his face turned purple with anger, and he smashed his fist on the railing, leaving a bloody mark on his hand in an instant, and said angrily: "Can't you let go of your face?" You don't want to think about Xiaoyu, she's a girl's house, she came to see you in this kind of place, do you say you're still worthy of being a father? ”
Xu Bin looked at his daughter who was kneeling in front of Lin Yuan and sobbing, sighed, closed his eyes and turned his head, tears dripping down.
Seeing this scene, the man seemed to have his whole strength taken away, leaned on the railing and slid down, knelt on the ground, and whispered like a demon: "It's all my brother's fault!" If my brother had come to see you earlier, things wouldn't have gotten to where they are today! The old servant who followed him was vigorously persuaded by the side.
No one spoke for a while, only Xiaoyu's cry in the prison, Shen Wanqing clenched her fists, staring at the lock on the cell door, Lin Yuan whispered in Shen Wanqing's ear: "How does this Xu Bin usually behave in the machine bureau?" ”
Shen Wanqing said: "I have learned carefully from the people in the machine bureau, this Xu Bin is quiet on weekdays, but he is enthusiastic and kind, and he is a rare talent at work, Su Mao told me that if the factory does not have Xu Bin, it is like a table without a leg." ”
Lin Yuan nodded, called the jailer, opened the prison door, and untied Xu Bin's flail, Xiaoyu hurriedly rushed in, holding Xu Bin's wrist that was ground into flesh and blood, and cried, and the man also followed.
Lin Yuan walked up to Xu Bin, squatted down, and asked, "Why did you enter the Machine Bureau in the first place?" ”
When Xu Bin heard this, his eyes suddenly shone brightly, but it soon dimmed, and he said softly: "In the ninth year of Xianfeng, the British and French entered Beijing, I was only five or six years old, and that day the family was having dinner, and a cannonball flew in, and my father and three brothers were killed on the spot, leaving me and my mother. At that time, I thought that if we had these guns in the Qing Dynasty, we wouldn't have been bullied by foreign devils, so I learned the art of making guns, and then the Machine Bureau was established and went in. ”
When Xu Bin said this, he smiled bitterly and said: "The emperor has been a emperor for thirty years, and he has achieved nothing in writing and swords, and he wanted to use what he has learned to serve the country, but he didn't expect to become a traitor now, ridiculous, ridiculous!" ”
Lin Yuan asked again: "Your mother and wife are sick, don't you care about the machine bureau?" ”
Xu Bin shook his head and said with a miserable smile: "The salary given to us is already small, and there is still money for our relatives to see a doctor, and my little salary will be gone after two doses of medicine." ”
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Your mother and wife's illness, I will help, you go back to the machine bureau, but you have to work as hard as you can, you will be very busy soon." ”
Xu Bin couldn't believe his ears, his eyes widened and he looked at Lin Yuan, and after a while, he asked blankly, "You let me go?" ”
Lin Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, we are now short of talents for the development of weapons and equipment, you only have one day to recuperate, and the day after tomorrow, you will come to the factory." ”
Xu Bin and Xiaoyu were full of joy, and the man walked over and said with a smile: "I am here for my brother Xie Lu Xie Lin!" Brother Xian, I invite everyone to have a good meal, and I also invite Lord Lin to appreciate it! ”
Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "Don't be busy eating, go buy medicine for his wife and mother first, and then heal his injuries." ”
The man slapped his face, and Da Yan smiled: "When you are happy, forget about this." He turned around and called the old servant, and said with a smile: "Go and buy medicine with them, I'll come later." ”
Xiaoyu looked at Shen Wanqing, choked up and said, "Good sister, thank you, thank you......"
Shen Wanqing gently hugged her in her arms and said with a smile: "Go home, my sister will take you out to play when you have time." ”
The man watched the old servant and Xu Bin's father and daughter leave, and then walked to Lin Yuan, but the ground was full of filth, and he bowed down and said, "Lord Lin, the villain has something to ask for, I hope Lord Lin will approve it!" ”
