In the Great Zhou, the "Spring Prisoner" has a history.

Heavy punishments such as beheading and exile are generally dealt with after the autumn.

However, due to some unavoidable accidents, such as the approval of the Ministry of Punishment or other inevitable delays, the disposition of some exiles was not officially approved until the beginning of winter.

During the Shengyuan period, the founding emperor specially approved that all prisoners who were still in the process of being disposed of in the lunar month of Layue, even if the official document of disposal came down, they could wait until after the fifteenth day of the first month of the next year.

It can be seen that the phrase "New Year's Day" is still true even here.

In the prison, the Jinyi guards took care of Bai Yi and Bai Shijun carefully - after all, they were not the same as other prisoners, and the people above ordered them to come down, these two people did not have to be sent to the north, and they could be transferred to the local Jinyi guards to take care of them if they were sent to Jiangzhou.

Just make sure you don't let these two escape.

The brocade guards were originally guarding the two as if they were facing a great enemy, but later they slowly discovered that things seemed to be simpler than they imagined.

Much simpler.

Because Bai Shijun and Bai Yi, the old and the young, are basically inactive on weekdays. The two of them stayed quietly in their cells, most of the time in a daze, not knowing what they were thinking.

Sometimes, muffled cries can be heard in the middle of the night in the cell.

But for Jinyiwei, it's nothing, they have also seen the kind of prisoners who cry wolves all night, and when they enter the prison, it is good to have the strength to cry.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Jinyiwei ordered the Bai family father and son to add food, and the two of them freed up a dish, allocated a little from their respective meals, and then asked Jinyiwei for an extra pair of chopsticks.

The Jinyi guards felt troublesome and didn't want to take it, but the two insisted on it, and the Jinyi guards looked at Bai Yi's ghost-like eyes, afraid that he would do something stupid under his rage, so he could only run back with a straight face and take another pair of chopsticks.

Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so it can be regarded as eating.

……

In the prison, you can't hear the sound of the ground, you can't see the sun, you don't know what time it is, you can only maintain your daily routine according to the time of delivery.

On the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the brocade guards opened the iron door, carried Bai Yi and Bai Shijun out of the cell, and threw them into the prisoner cart on the ground.

Whether it is Bai Yi or Bai Shijun, they are all already in shape at this time.

The two were locked up underground for more than half a month, and when they first came out, they were so pierced by the bright white light outside that they couldn't open their eyes.

The stinging didn't last long, though.

The brocade guards quickly stepped forward, directly blindfolded the two with cloths, and then sealed their mouths - this is the emperor's order, lest Bai Yi have anything to do with it for no reason along the way.

It's a cloudy day, but the sky is surprisingly bright.

The actual exiled prisoners had already put on their wooden shackles and anklets, and stood in a line outside.

Bai Yi and Bai Shijun's prison car is at the back of the prisoners - strictly speaking, they are not human prisoners, and considering that Bai Shijun is old, the prison has allocated a car to the two of them.

Considering that the car was ventilated on all sides, Jin Yiwei also provided the two of them with additional blankets and cushions, which was an unprecedented configuration of the prisoner car.

Every year when the spring prisoners leave the city, there will be people in the city who come to watch - after all, there are sometimes some very powerful characters here, those feudal officials, and the small people of Shengdou can't see them on weekdays, but they can see them at this time.

But once you've seen it, you'll know that it's no different. They all carry a head on their shoulders, and after being tortured in prison, they often look more embarrassed than ordinary people.

"Hey, what about the Jingguan who has a few products, it's nothing more than that."

People sighed like this, but when the next exile came, everyone would gather curiously to watch.

But today's onlookers are obviously much larger than before.

Three years ago, Bai Shijun had made this kind of oolong, and today he added a Bai Yi who often treats people in the Tai Hospital - Jin Yiwei has been prepared this time, and has blocked the major entrances to the city in one direction since last night.

But unexpectedly, there were still crowds of people on all sides.

The people in the city are not like the countryside on all sides, and there are not many people among them who seek medical treatment from Bai Shijun - but everyone has heard about Bai Si Yao's investment in the lake some time ago.

Although most people have never seen her, and many people don't know what this Bai Ling looks like, three years ago, because of the exile case, the title of "Bai Si Yao" has almost become a household name.

Some time ago, the story of "Xiao Si Yao jumped angrily to see Anhu" became a new excitement in the streets and alleys.

Now the father and son of the Bai family are inexplicably imprisoned, and the story behind this is really curious.

So everyone rushed to see what the real people in this legend looked like.

The people who didn't see the prisoner car squeezed forward desperately, and when they saw it, they felt disappointed-

The two people in the prisoner car were blindfolded and gagged, and they couldn't see anything at all.

The entire main road was blocked by the people of Pingjing who came to see the excitement.

When there were one or two people coming, no one dared to argue with the Jinyi Guard, but looking at the black head in front of him, the leader of the Jinyi Guard who was riding a horse to escort the criminals, he only felt that he had two big heads.

The carriage was at the end of the queue of prisoners, moving forward with difficulty and slowly.

Bai Yi leaned on the prisoner cart, motionless.

He heard people whistling around him, trying to get his attention as if they were watching a circus.

Someone was shouting his name, and a few of them were familiar—at least Bai Yi could hear the voice of the couple whose child was injured by a firecracker some time ago.

More voices are noisy and disorderly, who stepped on whose feet, who pushed whose shoulders......

Angry yelling and scolding, watching the lively laughter......

Bai Yi only felt that these voices were noisy.

Closing his eyes, he suddenly remembered the night he had seen Ann Lake in the past.

I thought of Bai Ling, who was dressed in a white dress, standing under the faint and bright lights.

Remembering that he reached out to Bai Ling and asked her if she wanted to dance.

I remembered Bai Ling's smile, and remembered her hesitant and surprised answer.

“…… I won't. ”

Bai Yi gritted his teeth again.

Bai Ling is gone, and no one will be able to understand him, no one will be able to pick up his songs, and no one will be able to understand his stubborn, even unreasonable, insistence......

The prisoner's cart swayed forward and walked forward until it came to the next street corner.

High up, Yikang stood on the corner of the street and saw from a distance that the prisoner cart carrying Bai Yi was slowly approaching.

"That's it." She turned back and said to the people behind her, "Let the kids go." ”

The crowd downstairs was noisy.

Yikang leaned against the window, silently looking at the approaching prisoner car.

On both sides of the main road, a group of eight or nine-year-old children, under the command of Ah Li, deftly navigated through the crowd and gradually followed the procession.

After a while, I don't know which child got up, and suddenly a thin voice came from the crowd-

"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green, the evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is ...... outside the mountain"

Bai Yi in the prisoner car was like a lightning strike in an instant.

Yikang saw him sit up straight almost immediately, then grabbed the wooden bar of the prisoner cart and clinged to the direction where the sound was coming from.

More children joined the chorus at this time.

"The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered, a pot of turbid wine is full of joy, don't dream of the cold tonight......"

Yikang just looked downstairs.

Bai Yi, who was still sitting there paralyzed, was already flushed at the moment, and his chest was rising and falling violently.

He couldn't make a clear sound, so he could only whimper and hum along.

“…… Life is rare for reunions, but there are many separations. ”

——It's Li Shutong's "Farewell"......

- Bai Ling...... Bai Ling must still be alive!
