Chapter 33: Solving Doubts in Prison
I thought that Zhang Jiusheng was the only one who had no intention of sleeping in the long night, but I didn't expect that not only did he not sleep without clothes, but even Yunsheng didn't sleep.
The prison of the yamen was dimly lit, even if the candles were lit and the torches were hung on the walls, but in Yun Sheng's opinion, it was still dark and a little crazy.
Yun Sheng didn't know what he was doing, he couldn't sleep when he was lying in bed, his mind was full of red beans, she was not a man, and she didn't have any special thoughts about red beans, but she just wanted to come to the prison to see red beans.
Zhang Tong told her that the red beans were from the capital.
Walking slowly through the torture room, Yun Sheng Ghost glanced inside, all kinds of torture instruments were placed there, neatly and neatly, some of them didn't seem to be cleaned, leaving some black blood stains there, the ground had just been washed with water, it looked quite clean, but it was always hairy in people's hearts, the fire was burning vigorously on the side, and the soldering iron was burning red and shiny inside, Yun Sheng swallowed his saliva, if this thing was attached to his body, he was afraid that his little broken body would die on the spot.
In the past, Zhang Jiusheng would not let himself go to prison, even if he wanted to try any prisoner, he would bring someone to the back hall for trial. At that time, she didn't care much about these things, but now it seems that Zhang Jiusheng is really good to herself.
In this place, there is no daylight, the humidity is too heavy, and the yin qi is too strong, which is not good for her body.
Yun Sheng didn't come to the prison, but the few catchers who guarded the prison knew Yun Sheng, and they were drowsy in the middle of the night, and the few guards just greeted her, so they nested in the corner by themselves, and the only one who was left to show her the way.
"Master, isn't the case of Hongdoutai closed?" The catcher who led the way in front of him asked a few more words.
Yun Sheng came back to his senses: "Oh, it's over, but there are still some details that I haven't figured out, I'm a little broken in the casserole, and I can't sleep at night if I can't ask clearly." ”
People like them, who deal with those gangsters in prison all the year round, whether they are perverted or murderous, are used to seeing human life, and they don't bother to care about those trivial matters, so they only nodded and opened the prison door: "Master, I'll let you know after asking, and the small ones are outside." ”
"Thank you."
Hongdou didn't sleep either, he got up when he heard the sound, and when he turned his head and saw that it was Yun Sheng, his eyes didn't show much surprise, as if he had already guessed that Yun Sheng would come.
She got up, tucked away her slightly sleepy hair, looked up at Yun Sheng, and raised the corners of her lips: "Can't sleep at night?" ”
Yun Sheng nodded.
"What do you want to know?"
Yun Sheng pursed her lips and hesitated for half a minute, she looked around the cell, and then looked at the straw that was even a little stinky under her feet, Hongdou saw her like this, and chuckled: "The cells in this small place are different from those in the capital, and it is good to be able to make do with lying down and sleeping." ”
"Laughing." Yun Sheng was a little embarrassed.
"It seems that the adults really love you, and they are not even willing to let you enter the cell here." Hongdou said slowly, picking his nails: "But I heard that you are not in good health, and places like the prison are still rare, if something goes wrong, who to talk to." ”
Yun Sheng was rubbing, thinking about how to speak, but he heard Hongdou say: "I know that you are also from the capital, but for some reason, or like me, you can't go back to the capital." ”
"You know?"
Hongdou nodded, she raised her head and looked at the only skylight in the cell, which led to the outside, there was no moon tonight, and the weather outside was unpleasantly cloudy, it seemed that it would rain again tomorrow.
She vaguely remembered that when she came to Fan County, it seemed to be at night, and it seemed to be like this weather.
"Actually, there are some things that you don't know, and it's a good decision to live here for the rest of your life." Hongdou stood up, and Yun Shengshi realized that the scar on Hongdou's right cheek was faintly showing signs of disappearing.
"You...... Your face ......"
Hongdou touched his face, and he didn't panic, he just smiled: "Eh, I've been in prison for so many days, and I forgot to make up for it." ”
As he spoke, he turned around, and he didn't know what he had tinkered with on his face, and when he turned around again, the scar on his face returned to its previous appearance, and he couldn't see any flaws, Yun Sheng suddenly realized: "You are the person who suddenly disappeared in the capital?" ”
"What's the skin? It's just a mouthful of food, but you say it's like a fairy. Earlier, I was just a woman who was a fool of the rivers and lakes, and I offended some people when I was young and ignorant, so I could only go all the way to the capital. After all, it is at the foot of the imperial city, and those people in the rivers and lakes still dare not look for me, if they attract the attention of the capital, they will bring me into the palace, and it will be even more difficult for them to kill me. Hongdou paused, and seemed to think of those things in Beijing again, bitter, sour, and sweet, "It's just that even I don't know, just when I entered Beijing, someone noticed me." ”
"Who?" Yun Sheng listened attentively, and she didn't even notice that she had been dragged into a pit by the red bean, and when she reacted, she saw that the red bean in front of her began to become nothing.
She's a little dizzy.
Hongdou stood in front of her, a pair of red lips opening and closing, but Yun Sheng couldn't hear what she was saying clearly, until the darkness became thicker and thicker, and finally swept her in.
Suddenly, she saw a snow-white hand shaking in front of her eyes, and there seemed to be something red tied to it, and then a voice sounded as if it came from the sky: "The truth in your heart will come out one day." But now, if you want to go your own way, you can only end up with something that you can't help yourself. Even if it's not for yourself, for your father, for your brother, and for your Zhangfu, you have to protect yourself and don't let them find you. ”
Who's talking?
Who are they?
Who are you?
After that, there was only silence, and no one spoke.
When Yun Sheng woke up, lying in her room, the afterglow flashed, and there seemed to be someone sitting at the table, she turned her head, and saw Zhang Jiusheng's figure slowly becoming clear in front of her.
With a "snap", the teacup was slammed on the table, and Yun Sheng's body lying on the bed trembled three times, and he was over, angry. Zhang Jiusheng turned his head abruptly, staring directly at Yun Sheng, the anger on his face was clear at a glance, Yun Sheng grinned, knowing that he was at a loss, grabbed the quilt and hid half of his face in it.
In the end, he was still reluctant to get angry, picked up another porcelain bowl on the table, Zhang Jiusheng walked to the bed, glared at Yun angrily and said, "I didn't faint in the prison, but I wanted to suffocate myself in the quilt, right?" ”
"Hmm, my lord......" Yun Sheng hesitated.
"Call the Second Young Master!" Zhang Jiusheng was angry, with a straight face, but Yun Sheng couldn't help but want to laugh a little when he looked at it, Zhang Jiusheng frowned, grabbed the quilt, and fished Yun Sheng out of the quilt: "Still laughing?" Drink the medicine first! ”
"Oh." Yun Sheng obediently took the medicine bowl, the bitter medicinal juice invaded her mouth, and she only frowned slightly, in the past three years, these medicines have been like eating, three meals a day, indispensable, no matter how unpalatable things are, it will be like this if you eat too much.
Zhang Jiusheng reached out and took out a candied fruit from his sleeve pocket, and stuffed it into Yun Sheng's mouth without saying a word, since Yun Sheng drank medicine for the first time and said that he was bitter, he had these candied fruits on him anytime and anywhere, and he had been found by Wuyi once before, and laughed at how a big man likes to eat what girls love to eat.
Yun Sheng chewed slowly, in fact, she still felt confused about her fainting, she was talking vigorously with Hongdou at that time, and her body didn't notice anything unusual, but she fainted like that, if she said it, Zhang Jiusheng might not believe it.
"I've told you many times that the dampness in the yamen prison is too heavy, so don't go if you have nothing to do. In two days, it will be the Midyear Festival again, and in that kind of place where yin is added to yin, what urgent thing has to run over in the middle of the night? Zhang Jiusheng pulled the quilt for her, and chattered while tucking the corners of the quilt.
Yun Sheng just listened, after the accident in her family, no one nagged her like this anymore, and she was willing to listen, making people feel that she was still cared for and alive.
"Let me tell you, stay in the house for the past two days, don't go anywhere, and go out after the Midyear Festival. If you want to buy something, make a list for me, and I'll have someone buy it. This time you fainted in prison, and my eldest brother gave me a good beating and said, the residual poison in your body has not been cleared, and you will go to these damp and dark places less in the future, you know? Zhang Jiusheng held the empty medicine bowl and spoke seriously.
Yun Sheng nodded obediently.
Zhang Jiusheng looked at her, and didn't speak quietly for a long time, seeing that Yun Sheng was a little hairy.
"Second Young Master......"
"Say, listen."
"Why don't you ask me what I'm doing in prison?"
Zhang Jiusheng glanced at her: "What else can I do, I know with my toes that you are going to ask Hongdou, she took something from Zhang Chi's body." ”
Yun Sheng grinned, so angry that Zhang Jiusheng stretched out his hand and wanted to slap her brain, but his hand stopped again, and only flicked her forehead lightly, not painful or itchy.
"What's the matter, did you ask if you came out?"
Yun Sheng shook his head and thought slowly: "She didn't say it, but I found that Hongdou seemed to have a red rope tied to her wrist, and when she went to Hongdoutai before, she didn't have it on her wrist." ”
"Red rope? What red rope? Have you read carefully? ”
Seeing Yun Sheng's hesitation, and then his determined appearance, Zhang Jiusheng sighed: "She killed Zhang Chi just thinking that Zhang Chi saw something, and also took her things to threaten him, which is why she took the risk to go back to find Zhang Chi's body." As for what it is, you don't have to be in such a hurry to ask at this time, she will be executed after the autumn, and she will stay on death row for a while, and after a while, when you are better, I will take you to see her. ”
"Could it be the red rope?" Yun Sheng let out a low groan.
Zhang Jiusheng was silent, and seemed to be thinking about this possibility, after all, he had never seen anything on Hongdou's wrist before.
"Second Young Master, there is one more thing." Yun Sheng tugged at Zhang Jiusheng's sleeve and cautiously glanced out the window.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Jiusheng walked to the door and looked outside, then closed the door, sat back on the edge of the bed, leaned over, and heard Yun Sheng say softly: "I feel like Hongdou knows who I am." ”
