Wei Yining walked out without looking back amid the howl of Bao's she-wolf, and the jailer came in and scolded, "What?!" Do you want to eat whips again?! Crazy! ”

"My son died unjustly! I'm going to sue! Bao stood up tremblingly with the prison door and said: "I want to go to the Criminal Department, to Dali Temple, no, I want to go to face the saint!" I'm going to sue her! ”

Brush!

The jailer threw a whip at him, adding a bloody streak to Bao's arm, and a strand of hair on his sideburns was ripped off.

"I don't know what to die!" The jailer scolded impatiently: "If you scream any more, I'll pour you some dumb medicine!" So you can't say a word! ”

Bao sat on the ground in despair, in the eyes of everyone, she was not only a prisoner, but also a madman, no one would believe her words, except Wei Yining.

Wei Yining came to the place where Wei Zongyong was held again, and saw that although Wei Zongyong was withered and decadent, he was not injured on his body, so he looked better than Bao's.

It wasn't that the officials who interrogated him were particularly courteous, but that this full straw bale had no bones in his body, and he happily confessed all the guilt, and there was no need to torture him at all.

When he saw Wei Yining, he was naturally a little surprised, but he was still mostly happy.

Kneeling in the prison, holding the wooden fence with both hands, he said in an eager tone: "Yining, you still have a conscience, remember to come and visit your uncle." ”

"Has no one ever visited you again but me?" Wei Yining asked.

Hearing this, Wei Zongyong lowered his head a little decadently and muttered, "I heard that something happened to me, and it was too late for them to hide." Usually, no matter how you push the cup and change the lamp, you will pretend not to know each other at this time, and the world is hot and cold! Yining, Uncle knows that you have an excellent relationship with the Yan family and the Xiao family. If you would come to them, kneel down and plead for me, and let them intercede for me, perhaps I will not have to be exiled. You see, I'm nearly half a hundred years old, and my hair and beard are gray, and I can't stand the toss! ”

Wei Zongyong squeezed his toad eyes with a pitiful look, hoping to impress Wei Yining to intercede for him.

Seeing him like this, Wei Yining had to remind: "The Bao family is suspected of murdering my family, and the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department has been convicted. You are one husband and wife with her, and this matter is half of your responsibility, and you will never be able to do it, right? ”

Wei Zongyong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then quibbled: "These things have nothing to do with me, and you also know, the Zhang family and the Bao family will never tell me anything." I'm just a puppet in their hands, they've been acting behind my back all these years, what can I do? ”

The painstaking management of the Zhang family and the Bao family, Wei Zongyong now refuses to appreciate it at all.

Wei Yi looked at him quietly, his expression did not change much, but in his heart he really despised a person like him who was inferior to a pig and a dog.

"So, Yining, no matter how thick blood is thicker than water, you must go and plead for me." Wei Zongyong continued to agitate without giving up: "Don't think that this is not good for you, the more you do this, the more they will look down on you and think that you are a good person. ”

"It's a pity that I've never been kind," Wei Yining smiled: "I prefer to have clear grievances." ”

"So you're not going to help?" Wei Zongyong is really a person who doesn't have a city government, and when he heard Wei Yining say this, he immediately changed his face: "Then are you here to fall into the well, or are you here to see how embarrassed I am?" ”

"Neither," Wei Yining shook his head solemnly, not like he was joking: "I just came to tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Wei Zongyong looked at Wei Yining puzzled, and there was still a trace of hope in his heart.

"I know that you were sent to Lao Linghe, after all, I have lived there for eight years," Wei Yining said with an extremely calm expression and tone: "I want to tell you about the things there, and it can be regarded as our relatives." ”

"Humph! Are you a little doll who loves to listen to stories? Wei Zongyong said angrily, the last bit of hope in his heart was also extinguished, and he was only disheartened.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, in fact, I think it is necessary for you to listen in advance, so that you can make some preparations before you hit the road." Wei Yining didn't care about his attitude at all: "Lao Linghe is extremely cold there, even in March, it still drips into ice. There is a heavy snow in September every year, and if you don't save enough food in advance, you won't survive the long winter.

Although there are many prisoners sent to Lao Linghe every year, it is still sparsely populated, because at the end of each winter, many dead bodies are dragged out. Those people had frozen, starved to death or died of disease in the winter, and many of them could not be found because they had been eaten by wild beasts outside.

The coldness of Lao Linghe is impossible for people who have not been there to understand at all. There was once a man who got drunk and went out to relieve himself, because he forgot to bring his hat, and when he came back, he scratched his ear, and guess what? ”

Wei Yining suddenly stopped talking when he said this, and looked at Wei Zongyong with blazing eyes.

Her eyes were extremely clear, and she was clearly a child who did not understand the world.

"What's wrong?" Wei Zongyong didn't want to hear it, but he couldn't help but ask when he looked into her eyes.

"But he just touched it lightly, and the ear actually fell off." Wei Yining smiled: "He didn't feel any pain at all, because it was too cold, and his ears were numb." However, after he returned to the house, he relieved himself for a while before he felt the pain in his heart, and he was bleeding a lot and even his shoulders were soaked. ”

Wei Zongyong couldn't help but shudder when he heard this.

"But maybe I'm too worried," Wei Yining lowered his eyes and said: "It's not certain that you can't get to Lao Linghe, there are tens of thousands of miles from the capital to there, and sleeping in the open on the way is not counted, but the whip of the escort officer is the most difficult pass." I was only five years old at the time, but I clearly remember that some of the exiles were beaten to death by the officers, and it was all too common for exiled prisoners to die on the way. ”

"You, you came to me and told me all this to scare me? Tell you, I'm not afraid! Wei Zongyong shouted inwardly.

"Then why are you shaking so much?" Wei Yining's eyes fell on Wei Zongyong's lap like a torch, and the straw bag was trembling uncontrollably.

"Tell me, what do you want?" Wei Zongyong said helplessly.

"I'll make a deal with you." Wei Yining said bluntly: "If you want to live more comfortably on the way to exile and after arriving at Lao Linghe, then you have to use silver." ”

Wei Yining said and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, the denomination was not large, there were one hundred taels and fifty taels.

"This is the silver ticket of the Baotong Silver Number, and it is still common in Lao Linghe, and this small denomination will not be too distressing to give gifts." Wei Yining said and slowly shook the silver ticket in his hand.
