Chapter 1 - Exploring Yanhong

Stop the sedan chair at the yamen of the criminal department, do not go to the main gate, enter from the west corner gate, it is a hall that pierces the wind, and it is the prison gate along the hundred steps, there is a prison guard there, lazily basking in the sun, Qin Zhong took out the post given by Shen Huan from the sleeve cage and handed it over, the prison officer took it and gave it back to him, picked one from the iron key around his waist, and opened the mottled and rusty old iron door "Bang Dang ----".

Qin Zhong thanked him, and took Qin Lin and Shun Yu over the wall, it was a narrow passage two meters wide, the more he walked in, the more he heard the bitter wails of the tortured people, and from time to time he could bump into the jailers who escorted the prisoners, they leaned to avoid it, but they saw that the prisoners with their cloaks were wrapped around iron shackles, with neck straps and locks, and they were staggering forward covered in blood, walking slowly, and the jailers scolded and scolded like a whip.

It seemed to be thrown on Shunyu's heart. The fingertips clenched into the palm of the hand, and the elder brothers were imprisoned in the Zhao Prison of Jinyiwei back then, which was a more life-threatening place, and it was worse than this.

In addition to the three or five jailers, there was also a young man in official robes with a guard standing there, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Qin Zhong took the lead in stepping forward to salute, and the man was also polite, and said in a low voice: "But the envoy of the Qin Academy? I am Zhang Jun, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and I have heard Shen Shangshu's orders, let you meet for the time being, to make a long story short, I hope you don't delay too long. ”

Qin Zhong hurriedly agreed, that is, the jailer opened a heavy door, to the front to lead the way, in the middle of a road, on both sides are low and windowless cells, because of the lack of ventilation, a ball of blood mixed with wet stench rushed to the face, Shun Yuqiang suppressed his stomach and turned over the river and the sea, covered his nose with his sleeve and looked around, the people in the prison were no longer people, lying or sitting or lying down or lying down, without a trace of energy.

The jailer who led the way suddenly stopped in front of a cell door, neatly opened the big lock wrapped around it, and then stepped aside to let Qin Zhong enter.

Qin Lin Aizi was heartfelt, and rushed in first in three or two steps, while Shun Yu secretly stuffed the silver to the jailer and asked him to take more care of him on weekdays.

On such a dog day, the prison was dry and stuffy, the shabby straw mat was wet and stench, Qin Yanhong was lying on it softly, his back and thighs were whipped over, his clothes and pants were ragged, broken into strips, and he couldn't hide the bloodstains.

Rao is Qin Lin is old enough to not be confused, and he can't bear to have wet eyes, just this is the root of his life, he has been pampered since he was a child, how can he let him suffer this crime!

Qin Yanhong heard someone calling him, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw his father, his second uncle, and Shun Yu surrounding him, looking at him with unbearable pain.

In the past few days, the frightened and aggrieved finally had an outlet, "wow", crying breathlessly.

The man has tears and does not flick, but he has not reached the sad place, let alone a young master from a wealthy family with rich clothes and food.

Seeing this appearance, Qin Lin couldn't say anything about the anger on his lips, so he sighed and comforted: "Didn't you provoke these sins yourself?" You have already beaten up and down, and you will not be tortured again, you honestly say, what is that lotus purple, but what you strangled? “

Qin Zhong had already checked the injuries for Yan Hong, only saying that they were all flesh wounds, not broken tendons and bones, so he took out the prepared medicinal oil and rubbed it for him.

Yan Hong sizzled and inhaled the cool air, and cried and whimpered: "My son has weak legs when he sees blood, and he even kills people with his own hands........ She's not dead, I'm scared to death first. “

"Sensei cried, that's all." Qin Lin's reason gradually retracted, and he frowned: "Even if you don't do it, you have to bite it and deny it, and your second uncle and I will reason outside, otherwise no one will be able to save you." “

Listening to their intermittent conversation, Shun Yu stood silently on the side, drinking water in the gap bowl was green, and a gray squirrel came out of the hole in the wall, not afraid of people, squirming around looking for residual food, and the bottom of his heart was empty and he didn't know what to think.

"Hurry up, everyone! Don't make it difficult for the little ones to be people. The jailer outside was walking around urging.

Qin Lin and Qin Zhong briefly confessed a few more words, stood up and walked forward, Shun Yu came to the side of the stone bed, and wanted to say something to encourage him, but saw Yan Hong signaling her to be lower, and she had something to say.

Shun Yu approached him and listened: "I have thought thoroughly in prison these days, and I regret that I didn't listen to my cousin's words and fell to this point." Another cousin, I just entered the Yanlai pharmacy that day, and the officials immediately chased after me and arrested him, and then I saw that in the crowd of onlookers outside, there were Zhou Hai's former guards, and the housekeeper in his house and other cadres. I'm afraid that my imprisonment this time is inseparable from them, and my cousin is careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and he will protect himself. “

Shun Yu's heart warmed, and her eyes were inexplicably wet, although Yan Hong was unbearable, she was really good to her, not to mention that this disaster was also caused by her.

"Don't worry about the people on your side, bear with me a few more days." Shun Yu brushed the messy hair on his cheeks behind his ears and whispered, "You'll get out of here, soon!" ”

Yan Hong looked at her watery eyes, inexplicably believed her, his heart was very steady, he wanted to smile at her, but he pulled the wound at the corner of his mouth, and the smile was very strange.

Shun Yu couldn't bear to see it suddenly, shook his hand tightly and loosely, and finally stood up and turned to leave.

................................

The yamen of the ministry, the afterglow of the setting sun shines obliquely through the window door, reflecting the golden color in the hall.

Shen Zetang was listening to Shen Huan's reply.

"The Qin Mansion is quite strange about the case this time, I heard what Lord Zhang said, I think the adults are interested, that Qin Yanhong, the nephew of the Qin Academy, is happy to be the daughter of the pharmacy shopkeeper, her name is Lianzi, and the Lianzi girl is .........." Shen Huan just got up, but was interrupted by Shen Zetang, looked at the file without raising his head, and said lightly: "I'm not interested, but there is still something to do?" ”

Shen Huan was dumbfounded, thought about it and hesitated: "Regarding the matter of Feng Shunyu's little prisoner, I don't know if I can talk about it?" ”

”............!“ Shen Zetang raised his head, looked at him calmly, and his voice was still gentle: "You are so good, don't you even know what to say and what not to say now?" “

That....... In the end, I won't talk about it! Shen Huan felt like he was about to collapse.

Anyway, take a gamble!

"Last time, the second master ordered someone to keep an eye on Feng Shunyu, I sent Shen Rong to follow, and yesterday he came to report, he was not the only one who was staring at Feng Shunyu, and his martial arts seemed to be quite strong." Shen Huan said: "Shen Rong was stopped by him several times and let Feng Shunyu escape. ”

Shen Zetang frowned slightly, and said silently: "Withdraw Shen Rong immediately, don't send anyone to follow." ”

Before he could say a word, he could hear the hurried steps in front of the corridor, and before anyone saw it, the voice came loudly: "Shen Er, Shen Er.........!"

It's who shouts souls! The corners of Shen Zetang's mouth twitched, and sure enough, it was Li Guangqi's old man.

"Shen Er! Why don't you say yes when I call you? Li Guangqi stepped into the threshold, waved his hand at Shen Huan, who ushered in the ceremony, and went straight to Shen Zetang: "I have a request for you today, it is about my in-laws......... family!"

"I don't want to hear it." Shen Zetang smiled, and there was a little helplessness in his words: "Didn't I owe the Qin Mansion in my previous life!" ”
