Xi Hongdou saw that everyone was still very taboo to talk about these things, so he asked in a low voice: "I'm just from another place, I don't know the place well, listen to the excitement!" ”

Tea guest A's surname is Zhang, Lao Zhang is a frequent visitor here, and when he saw that Xi Hongdou was really a fresh face, he was not very old, and he was dressed very plainly, not to mention that he was not the son of a powerful and high-ranking official, so he was relieved, and said: "How much can the people know about the affairs of the court?" ”

"That Xiao family is a waiter, it should be a big official, right? How can it be involved? Xi Hongdou asked.

Lao Zhang was speechless: "You don't understand this, the bigger the official, the more dangerous it is, the little people are small fish and shrimp, what waves can be set off?" The one who committed the crime was the big official, the household department, that was the place where the entire Yanyun's money and grain land were in charge, and it was not impossible to rebel. We don't know if it's framed or not, and we don't dare to ask, right?! ”

After listening to Lao Zhang's words, Xi Hongdou said: "Then the people have heard that it is an unjust case, why don't they overturn the case?" ”

"I heard that the emperor is angry, have all those ministers who pleaded for mercy suffered, who dares to go now?" Lao Zhang was speechless: "Look at this, there is only a complaint against the emperor, but I heard that the Xiao family has been arrested, who will go?" ”

Xi Hongdou came to the spirit, so he asked: "What is a lawsuit?" ”

"Come and see." Lao Zhang beckoned Xi Hongdou to come out with him, and Xi Hongdou followed.

Following the direction of Lao Zhang's finger, Xi Hongdou looked at it and didn't see anything.

"Is there anything over there?" Xi Hongdou asked in wonder, she really didn't see it.

Lao Zhang laughed directly: "That end is the west, unless you are not afraid of death or go to the west, then you will sue the emperor!" ”

Xi Hongdou's face was entangled, and he asked: "Is it so scary to sue the royal court?" "I remembered that I had acted in TV dramas before, and I had to step on the coals to walk forward for a while, and then I had the opportunity to sue!

Lao Zhang explained: "Have you ever heard of such a thing as the people not fighting with the officials? If it weren't for the grievances that didn't even want his life, who would dare to go to the emperor to complain? If anyone can tell it, then it is estimated that everyone in the world will go! "But if the life can be lived, no one will risk their lives to sue the royal complaint, even if the lawsuit is completed, half of the human life is gone, and ordinary people will not have the courage to go.

Xi Hongdou's heart was cold, if there was only one way to save Xiao Zhi, what would she do? But now she has to find a way to meet Xiao Zhi, in case the Xiao family of the squire in the prison is not Xiao Zhi's Xiao family, she may be able to think of other ways.

Seeing Lao Zhang still looking at and talking, Xi Hongdou asked in a low voice: "Uncle, is there a way to enter that edict?"

When Lao Zhang heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he asked, "What are you doing?" "Asking this and that, it can't be related to the people in the prison, right?

Xi Hongdou wanted to ask for a way, but he could only find a reason to stabilize Lao Zhang first: "To be honest, my owner wants to do business in this area, if he can help someone sue the royal court, wouldn't he be able to get a lot of money?" ”

Lao Zhang's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Isn't this asking for money and not dying?" ”

"Uncle, some people can't afford to live, if they can exchange their lives for a family, some people rush to do it!" Xi Hongdou said: "So I want to ask my uncle if there is a way, I'll go in first to inquire, whoever wants to pay, we will help whoever goes to play with his life!" "This is pure bluffing, but Xi Hongdou pondered that as long as he didn't investigate deeply, he should have heard something like that!

Lao Zhang felt that it made sense, so he said: "It's not difficult to get into the edict prison, but if you have a relationship, just say hello and go in, the little people will have to spend money, and those jailers also earn less, who doesn't want to make more money?!" ”

Xi Hongdou felt that there was a door, and he still had some money on him, so he bought his own title deed as a big deal, and it shouldn't be difficult to take care of it.

"If you want to go, I can help you find a way and spend less money!" Lao Zhang said, the kid in front of him looked at his face, and he was not a local when he heard the accent, and after the hammer was done, everyone would go their own way, and there would be no trouble, and he naturally wanted to intervene if he had money to make.

When Xi Hongdou heard this, he couldn't believe it, although he relied on the help of well-wishers when he went out, but this Lao Zhang was also a little too enthusiastic, and he helped easily, so he had to guard against it.

Lao Zhang looked at Xi Hongdou's suspicious look, and said with a smile: "Of course, I have to spend a little bit of money to work with people, and it will definitely cost me to invite people to eat and drink!" ”

"Money is not an issue, as long as I can go in and see it." Xi Hongdou said and took two taels of silver and compared, and said, "I want to go in today, can this money be done?" ”

Two taels of silver is not a small amount, and he still has some leftovers after going up and down, so he said: "No problem, you go with me, I promise to let you in!" "He is also the No. 1 snake in Kyoto City, and it is definitely not difficult to find some connections to send people to visit the Imperial Prison.

Xi Hongdou followed Lao Zhang closely, she was afraid that Lao Zhang would take the money and not do anything, she was also afraid that people would disappear when they turned their heads, and she couldn't find anyone when she cried.

Lao Zhang said as he walked all the way: "You don't have to be afraid, there is a good saying, bullying the old is not bullying the young, if I deceive you, I am afraid that you will retaliate against me in the future." "And if he deceives people, don't think about mixing in the teahouse in the future.

Xi Hongdou felt that this Lao Zhang was really not an ordinary person, so he asked: "Does Uncle also help people inquire about these things in the teahouse?" ”

"No, I'll take you to the Imperial Prison to find acquaintances, what news do you want to buy in the future, you can find me, Uncle eats this mouthful of food, to ensure that Tong Su is not bullied!" Lao Zhang said with a smile.

Xi Hongdou is especially glad that he met the right person, otherwise he might not know how long he will be a headless fly here.

Turning two streets, Xi Hongdou felt more and more that the atmosphere was wrong, and felt that he had entered a street with red flowers and willows, and the plaques on both sides said that the name of the store was either Wanchun Courtyard or Baihualou, and there were some women on the second floor who were disheveled.

Even if he had never seen the world again, Xi Hongdou could see that this was Willow Lane in Flower Street, and then his footsteps stopped.

Lao Zhang saw that Xi Hongdou didn't stop, so he said: "People like us are in contact with all three religions and nine streams, and the places we go to must not be very glorious, you will definitely be fine if you come with me." ”

Xi Hongdou asked, "Didn't you say that you would take me to the Imperial Prison to find an acquaintance?" The edict is in the alley of a brothel? "You can't be so stupid, can you? She's obviously met a human trafficker!

Lao Zhang saw that Xi Hongdou didn't believe him, so he came up directly and grabbed Xi Hongdou's hand, and said in his mouth: "I have long seen that you are a female doll, and you should be a disgraceful person to see if you are trying to inquire about things in prison!" He was also suspicious of Xi Hongdou's words, and guessed that this little girl should have an old relationship with which one in the prison, and sold such a disgraceful girl, and the government couldn't take her!

Xi Hongdou saw that he was still too blindly optimistic, and he still met a bad guy in the end, so he directly raised his foot and kicked out.

Kick the person first and kick the egg, and win half of the opening game. Xi Hongdou's broken grandson's feet made him strong, and Lao Zhang almost didn't faint when he kicked it, and as soon as he sent his hand, Xi Hongdou hurriedly ran away.

Xi Hongdou was scared, but fortunately, Fang Cai didn't give the money directly to Lao Zhang, or he would really lose money. She thought that Lao Zhang might have made up his mind to sell her to the kiln from the beginning, and not all the money on her body would be looted after that.

After cannon fodder all the way to the Yunlai Teahouse, she directly retreated from the room, lest that Lao Zhang go back to the inn to find her.

After leaving from Yunlai Teahouse, Xi Hongdou inquired about the way to the Imperial Prison on the road, although Lao Zhang was going to sell her, but what he said was not necessarily false, if the Imperial Prison could be entered by spending money, she would also spend more money, and it was unreliable to find these people to do things.

All the way to the Imperial Prison, the four jailers at the door were guarding the door with weapons, and Xi Hongdou did not rush up directly, but squatted to the side and watched.

An old woman came to the door with the basket and stretched out her hand to give the money, and the jailer looked at it, and let the man in, and urged the old woman to come out quickly, and said something not to make it difficult for them.

The old woman nodded again and again, and hurriedly entered the door, Xi Hongdou saw the whole process, but she still didn't dare to step forward, and continued to squat.

After squashing for an afternoon, several people went in like that, and the money given was more or less, Xi Hongdou finally went to buy some food, and also brought a basket to the gate of the prison.

The jailer at the door was a little surprised when he saw Xi Hongdou, and looked at it as a raw face, but Xi Hongdou reacted quickly, and quickly took the money and stuffed it into the jailer's hand, and said, "Little brother, it's convenient, this time I can give more than last time." ”

As soon as the jailer saw that he was rich, he thought he was an "old man" when he heard Xi Hongdou's words, so he said, "Go in, come out quickly!" ”

Xi Hongdou hurriedly thanked him, and then hurried in.

Not to mention the dark and damp inside the prison, the air was thin with torches, and Xi Hongdou felt uncomfortable as soon as he entered.

There are a lot of prisoners inside, and they are all crying wolves and shouting injustices, and Xi Hongdou listens to the madness.

tremblingly walked in, shouting Xiao Zhi's name quietly as he walked.

"Xiao Zhi! Xiao Zhi! Xi Hongdou shouted for a while, and she was about to go to the innermost part but still didn't see anyone, and she was also a little panicked.

"Xiao Zhi! Where did the death go?! Xi Hongdou's voice was a little louder.

Master Xiao, who was leaning on the fence, moved his ears, and just now he seemed to hear someone shouting Xiao Zhi's name, so he stretched out his ears and listened carefully, and sure enough, someone was calling Xiao Zhi.

"Son, hurry up, someone calls your name!" Master Xiao hurriedly asked Xiao Zhi to come over and listen.

Xiao Zhizheng was upset, he didn't have any spirit when he was called over by Master Xiao, he was crying wolves all day long in this prison, he didn't hear it wrong, but when he calmed down, he really heard someone call his name!

"Red beans?" When Xiao Zhi heard this voice, it was like Xi Hongdou's voice, but Xi Hongdou shouldn't be here at this time!
