Chapter 149: Who's Lying
Chapter 150 Who's Lying
For the sake of Zhao Falcon's presence, Du Qiya didn't dare to show them a face, in fact, without Zhao Falcon, Du Qiya couldn't do such a thing.
This time Li Yan went to Huzhou, in fact, he did him a big favor, so that he could get out, because now he saw the Wei family, and he felt that his eyebrows were clear, besides, this was also an old grudge between the Chen family and the Wei family, what does it have to do with him?
It was he who instructed the officials below, led the way, and took them to the prison of the government to see Sun Chang.
Huzhou prefect's government prison is slightly different from other places, this cell is built under the prefect's yamen, it is really a dungeon, the place where it was originally built, is the current prefect for the province to come up with the hair in, he once said, every acre of land in Huzhou, should be used in the place, that has to be handed over to the people, let them farm, let them grow tea, support their families, live and work in peace and contentment, but also for the imperial court to contribute to the taxation, not such a large construction, to build a government prison.
At first, many people thought that his idea was absurd, there were so many state capitals and county offices in this Daliang, and there was no place like this dungeon, but the Zhou prefect did not listen to people's persuasion, and went straight to the court to give a fold, and told the emperor about this method.
Now Wei Luan followed them down to the dungeon, and when the door opened, a hot flush came to his face.
Such a **, but this dungeon is like a steamer, she seems to be wrapped in a layer of soaked cloth, entangled her to death, and someone desperately wants to squeeze water out of this cloth, so it sticks to her, uncomfortable, unpleasant.
Wei Ziqi deliberately slowed down his pace and waited for her to be surprised: "Do you feel uncomfortable?" ”
She sighed: "This dungeon is dark and damp, and the weather in May is already so stuffy, wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable when it is in the scorching heat?" ”
"The people who committed the crime and were locked in didn't come to enjoy the blessings in the first place, and they suffered this crime, but they also suffered it themselves, but you" Wei Ziqi lowered his head and tilted her back, but saw that her face was really uncomfortable, and he didn't say too much, but instead reached out to help her again, so as not to make the candle light here not bright enough, her feet slipped, and then fell down this step, "You don't have to come to such a dark, damp and obscure place." ”
Wei Luan knew that he was unhappy in his heart, one was for her thoughts from beginning to end, and the other was for her to follow her to the government prison.
She can't say anything, if you want to talk about it, it's not hers, she hides her mind deeply, she has never talked about it to anyone, she concealed it tightly, this time she showed Li Yan the clue, and if she broke it, the eldest brother must be even more unhappy.
As for the matter of the government prison
"Big brother, didn't you tell Li Yan that my father asked me to follow him to Huzhou so that I could see the world, and it could be regarded as my experience?" She let Wei Ziqi help her, her voice was sobbing, and it didn't sound so obedient anymore, "If I stay in the inn all day long, eat and drink well, and don't worry about anything, wouldn't it be a trip to the mountains and rivers?" What you said to Li Yan at the beginning is even more unbelievable. ”
Wei Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Well, he forgot about it.
The steps of this dungeon are not particularly long, and it didn't take long to reach the bottom, and the official who led the way bowed down and gave way: "Sun Chang committed a murder case, locked in the innermost cell, you and the villain came here." ”
Zhao Falcon's footsteps did not move again.
Wei Luan snorted, and simply stopped his feet: "You don't want to go over?" ”
Zhao Falcon said yes and nodded respectfully: "The slave is waiting here, you and the uncle just go in, and after a while, the slave will wait for you to go back to the inn." ”
The servant next to him was stunned for a moment, the man on his side was dressed extraordinarily, in fact, it was not that he couldn't see that he was a subordinate, but he had also heard about it, saying that this was His Royal Highness King Qi's personal confidant, and the most face-saving servant of the Qi Palace.
He had never seen a place like the palace in his life, but he felt that this slave was really amazing, and he was afraid that he would be more majestic than the head of their prefect's mansion.
However, at the moment, this person is respectful, but he is facing the little girl in front of him
This official didn't know Wei Luan's identity, and he didn't hear so much, he only took office in the second half of the day, and he heard two sentences before, but he only heard it because he was guarding the door of the lobby.
At the moment, his throat rolled twice, and he swallowed the saliva into his stomach vigorously, and when Wei Luan and the others finished speaking, as soon as he turned his face, he saw that the face of this servant became more and more respectful.
Such people will look at their faces, and Wei Luan didn't feel too surprised and strange, but he just felt funny, so he laughed lightly, and immediately felt out of place, so he stopped talking.
Wei Ziqi shook his head helplessly, but he was almost invisible, and motioned to the official to bring it, but he didn't say anything to Zhao Falcon.
When they saw Sun Chang, the three of them were taken aback by each other.
Sun Chang's surprise was because he didn't expect to see the Wei Ziqi brothers and sisters in this prison, and the Wei family's brothers and sisters were surprised
Wei Luan was the first to speak up: "Cousin, how did you become like this?" ”
Wei Ziqi next to him frowned, explained two sentences to the officer, and then sent him away, and when the officer was far away, he confirmed it again and again, and then walked back to the prison: "Have you been tortured?" ”
At this time, Sun Chang was sloppy, and there were faint traces of blood on his clothes, and the blood had already turned dark red, which showed that it had been a long time and was not a new injury.
He was sitting cross-legged on the bed, no, it wasn't a bed.
The cell was so big that the three of them felt a little cramped when they stood in, and there was a dilapidated table in the middle, with a black porcelain pot on top of it and a broken bowl that had been missing, and it was full of mess.
As for the so-called bed, it was just a square built with four bricks by the wall, and Wei Luan could faintly see the dry straw exposed under a very thin mattress under Sun Chang's body.
She choked up for a moment: "Cousin, have you been like this for so long?" ”
Sun Chang felt even more uncomfortable, after all, it was himself who suffered, at this time Wei Luan's words were choked and cried, he sniffed, and first replied to Wei Ziqi's words: "The punishment was suffered when he was just arrested, the family didn't know about it at that time, and his father didn't make money, Du Qiya tossed me a lot in the lobby for the relationship with the Chen family, and the injury was also left at that time." Prison people, where is the person who tells you to cleanse? Later, my father came from home, and he went up and down, and the money was gone, so he got me some medicine."
He said, while patting the mattress under him: "The back of the person who sleeps on this stone bed hurts, when have I suffered such a hardship, suffered such a sin, the little half a month I just lived in, almost sleepless all night, plus I have injuries on my body, and I have had a few fevers, it is also my life, I have followed my father to run business since I was a child, and my body is not bad, and I finally survived." ”
Wei Ziqi understood, and smacked his tongue: "So this mattress was also sent in by his uncle after he gave Du Qiya silver?" ”
Sun Chang said yes, and remembered their sudden appearance: "Why did you come to Huzhou?" Did my father go to Qizhou to see my uncle? ”
Wei Luan nodded with red eyes, wanting to step forward to see his injury, but asked Wei Ziqi to hold back: "When my father was born, my uncle and aunt took Miao Wei to the door, and later talked about it. ”
"King Qi?" Sun Chang's eyes lit up, but in an instant, he gloomy, "Father and mother are also in vain, and they are also implicated in Miaowei's reputation, in fact, why bother." I did kill the person, I didn't deny it in the lobby, I spent so much money, gave up so many favors, and it may not be able to save my life, it is said that I am not filial, and I am reckless when I eat wine, how many times has this fault father said, I never took it seriously, and I never thought about changing it, and now it has finally caused a big disaster. ”
The more Wei Luan listened to him, the more sad he became, he was really not a gentleman, and he would not blindly beg for mercy and shout for help just because Li Yan was there.
He has done it, he knows everything, and he is really a good son who dares to be.
"Cousin, my eldest brother and I didn't plan to come to see you in prison, on the way here, we also discussed with Li Yan, but after arriving in Huzhou, things changed, Li Yan showed his identity in the lobby of the prefect's yamen, and asked Du Zhifu to send the file of this case to him, this case" She said in a long tone, pursing her lips, "He wants to take over this case, and no longer call Du Zhifu to manage, but when my uncle and aunt came to the door, they hid a lot of things, and they also lied, Li Yan said that it would be troublesome in the future, it is best to ask you clearly, What was the situation in the first place? ”
In fact, she said that she concealed and lied, Sun Chang could understand it by himself, even if he didn't know what lies his father and mother had come up with, he could understand and understand.
In the heart of his father, his life must be preserved, and the words that are unfavorable to him will not be said even if he is killed.
Sun Chang let out a long sigh, leaned back, and leaned against the wall behind him.
The walls of the dungeon are shady, and only this shade can slightly relieve the boredom in the dungeon.
He let out a long sigh, as if he couldn't finish it: "What do you want to ask?" ”
After he finished speaking, he shook his head with a smile to himself, and didn't even look at the Wei brothers and sisters: "Actually, you don't have to ask, didn't I say, killing people pays for life, I should pay for it, I have already accepted my fate, but I can no longer be filial piety in front of my father and mother, and I have to burden my grandfather and grandmother, and worry about me day and night, you" He finally looked at it, his eyes were already moist, "If you are free, it is good to go home for me to see." Luan'er, in fact, in the past two years, grandfather and grandmother, I have missed you very much. ”
Sun Chang's eyes were full of relief at this time, and that smile was not sad, but became the most sincere smile on his face: "Grandmother always said in the past, you and your aunt are seven points alike, but you don't like your uncle at all, grandmother likes your aunt so much, loves your aunt so much, I haven't seen you for two years, she actually cares about you very much." ”
This seems to be true or not, but Wei Luan would rather believe that what he said is true Sun Chang now has the heart to die, people say that people are about to die, their words are also good, she prefers to believe that her grandmother is really worried about her, these words are not that he is pretentious, to touch the two hearts of their brothers and sisters.
Wei Ziqi probably couldn't listen to such dejecting words, so he lowered his voice and darkened his face: "Cousin, Chen Yuqing robbed the people's daughter first, and you killed him by mistake after drinking, do you really deserve to die?" Why are you discouraged, and why do you accept your fate? Uncle and aunt are old, even my cousin is running for you, and now a large number of people have worked, and even His Royal Highness the King of Qi is also alarmed, are we coming to Huzhou to listen to your words, just to see your determination to die at any time? ”
Sun Chang was stunned: "No, if you can choose, who is willing to die?" But in the sub-period, it is not your fault after all. If it were you, would you like to watch your parents run around, the family worried, and no longer have peace? What if they save me? I'm not a stupid boy who has not been deeply involved in the world, and now that I have been rescued, people will say that they are careless about human life in the future. My grandfather had no ambition all his life, and the Sun family became rich and noble, and he never bullied others, should his old man's good reputation be affected by me? ”
"Cousin, how can you think that?" Wei Luan also twisted his eyebrows, "Could it be that it is your filial piety to ask your grandfather to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person?" You talk about fame, which is why we have come to see you today. We also thought before, with the power of the Chen family in Huzhou, if Li Yan forcibly protects you, not to mention the Sun family and our family, even Li Yan will only end up with a damaged reputation, and the failure to protect will alarm Your Majesty, and no one will have a good life. ”
She swallowed her saliva, but her eyes did not dodge, in fact, whenever she mentioned today, in Wei Luan's heart, there was always seven points of fear.
At the moment, she didn't care about thinking about it, she just cleared her throat and tried to suppress that fear: "When you came to Huzhou to do business last year, and when you came to collect tea in the second half of the year, you pressed the price of surplus tea in the hands of the tea farmers below by 30%, which is much lower than in previous years, but they sold it to you, cousin, are you using means here, or are you willing to make such a friend as you?" ”
When she mentioned the matter of harvesting tea last year, Sun Chang was obviously surprised, and his originally calm face showed incredulity: "What means can I use?" How can you say that? Where did I hear that I suppressed the price of tea by 30%? ”
Wei Ziqi heard that something was wrong, and gasped: "Didn't you press their price?" ”
"The tea farmer business in Huzhou seems to be not big, but every year there is a sea of people who go to Huzhou to collect tea, where did I get such a big ability to reduce the price by 30% to talk about business?"
