Chapter 138: Prison Visits (1500 Monthly Passes)
The sky was bright, and two figures, one tall and one short, appeared at the entrance of the yamen of Wancheng County.
Mu Wan bypassed the main gate of the county government and went directly to the prison where the prisoners were held, but she only heard Chen Xiaomei say a few words, and she still couldn't grasp the facts of the case.
She wants to help Chen Shilang clear her name, and she needs to know the case in detail.
The big prison of Wancheng County is not big, and the advantage of the people's customs is that there are fewer prisoners in the adulterous criminal department, and Chen Shilang is not a felony who is not imprisoned in a cell, not that there is no crime in Wancheng, but basically a dispute that can be decided by a county official in a few words.
"Are you...... Miss Mu? ”
The messenger guarding the prison recognized Mu Yu, after all, the officer was a person in the government, and the news was much better than that of ordinary people, Mu Yun was the commander of the Jinyi Wei Division and spread quickly in the officialdom of Wancheng, and Mu Yun once said that Mu Wu was his only sister.
Mu Wan's identity is enough to make any official be respectful to her, not to mention these low-level officials, even Wancheng County has to be polite when she sees Miss Mu.
"I'm going to go in and take a look at Chen Shilang."
“……”
The official said that he was embarrassed, bent down, and said in a low voice: "It is said that I should not stop Miss Mu, but the official has an explanation, and no one is allowed to visit Chen Che." ”
Chen Xiaomei, who was holding Mu Wan's sleeve tightly, had red circles in her eyes, and tears were about to fall again, she still remembered what Mu Wu told herself before she came, to be strong and not to let others see her tears.
Mu Wu took out a silver ticket from her arms and stuffed it to the officer, "My grievances with Chen Shilang, Wancheng is understandable, once he insulted me fiercely, at this time he is in trouble, how can I see it with my own eyes, in order to eliminate the evil anger in my heart." ”
Chen Xiaomei was shocked, moved her lips and still dragged Mu Wu.
The errand officer showed a clear look, Miss Mu is here to fall into the well? This can be accommodating, not to mention that there is silver to take, looking at the number on the silver ticket is enough to prove that Miss Mu is very generous, if you can use this to marry Mu Daren, it is a good thing for him to gain fame and fortune.
Even if he obeyed Shangguan's instructions and didn't let Miss Mu visit Chen Shilang, when Miss Mu went to see Shangguan directly, Shangguan would agree to Miss Mu's request, but the benefits would no longer fall on him.
The messenger humbly accepted the silver ticket, "If Miss Mu just goes in and says a few words, I can let you visit Chen Shilang, don't stay too long, if the Shangguan knows, I can't explain it." ”
"I'm not going to embarrass you." Mu Wu repeatedly promised that she would not be delayed for too long.
The official said, "It's better for you to go in alone." ”
"I ......"
"You stay!"
Mu Wan directly handed over Chen Xiaomei to the fat girl, and said in her ear: "What I said, always count." ”
Chen Xiaomei nodded and slowly let go of Mu Wu.
The messenger diligently led Mu Wu into the prison, the dim and damp cell was filled with a turbid smell, flies and mosquitoes were buzzing everywhere, and the air was still filled with the smell of urine, Mu Wu wrinkled her nose, Chen Shilang was born poor, and he was also a clean teenager.
Can he stand such an environment?
"Because Chen Shilang committed a rape and murder case, the evidence is conclusive, just wait for the eldest master to announce the verdict, he was imprisoned in the depths of the cell, Miss Mu is careful under her feet, the road in the cell is not smooth."
Mu Wu bowed slightly, the potholes on the road to the cell could not affect her, and asked, "Has Chen Shilang ever confessed?" ”
"Nope." The messenger shook his head and said, "Even the Great Master Qingtian, who has always valued and trusted him...... If he continues to be silent, he will only suffer more. ”
"Has the identity of the woman who was raped and killed ever determined? Is it our Wancheng girl? ”
There was a kind of anger in Mu Wu's voice, "I can't bear the rape and murder case the most, that unfortunate girl is too pitiful." ”
The messenger said: "It was said that he came to Wancheng from the capital to join his relatives, but his relatives were not found, and he happened to meet Chen Shilang in the evening, but Chen Shilang saw that she was young and beautiful, so he had bad intentions and dragged her into the woods...... Hey, if it wasn't for the fact that Chen Shilang's personal belongings were found on the woman's body, I couldn't believe that he would do such a thing! ”
"Something personal?"
"It's Chen Shilang's fan, the fan can be stolen, but his intimate clothes were also left in the place where the crime occurred, and no one will steal his dirty clothes."
The errand casually talked about the case, but he didn't notice how much useful information Mu Wu had found out from his mouth, and Chen Shilang, who had already fallen into prison, might not know much about the errand officer.
"Since the dead woman has not found her relatives, how can she be identified? There should be a plaintiff in this case...... She came from the capital, so she still has relatives in the capital? ”
Seeing that she was about to walk to the depths of the cell, Mu Wu slowed down, covered her nose and pretended that she couldn't accept the messy and pickled environment.
The messenger said: "The plaintiff is indeed from the capital, is a cousin of hers, I heard that he is still a scholar, he is not worried that his cousin will come to join his relatives, and then followed, just when the yamen found the body, he went over to look at it, and determined that the deceased was his cousin." ”
The capital, the capital again!
Mu Wu faintly felt that this matter was probably implicated.
Someone wanted to take this opportunity to destroy Chen Shilang.
"It's here, Miss Mu."
The messenger reminded Mu Wu, and then shouted coldly to the dark cell: "Chen Shilang, someone has come to visit you." ”
There was a sound of rustling in the dark cell, and then there was the crunch sound of iron chains clanging, and Chen Shilang asked hoarsely, "Is it Mu Wu?!" ”
It didn't seem to be a question at all, the officer thought that he had just called Miss Mu and was heard by Chen Shilang, but Mu Shi understood that Chen Shilang had been waiting for her, and believed that she would definitely come to visit her in prison.
"I want to say two words to him alone."
Mu Wu threw out a silver ticket, this time the amount of silver made the messenger unable to refuse, at this time, even if the messenger suspected that Mu Wu was not here to fall into the well, he would still be moved by the silver, "Miss Mu, you have to hurry." ”
The servant slowly walked away, and he himself did not want to stay in the cell any longer.
There was a bang, the chains collided again, and Chen Shilang barely stood in front of the cell door, "Mu Wu, it's really you." ”
His face was pale, his body was thin and weak, and the clothes that wrapped his body were stained with blood.
"You...... You're hurt? ”
"They used the big punishment."
Chen Shilang tugged at the corners of his mouth, his brows were only tightly furrowed because of the pain, and his arm was trapped by the shackles, which made the arm injury even more serious, "Even if the people behind the scenes can't take my life, they want to abolish my arm." ”
The wry smile on his lips deepened, "It seems that my hands are really full of disasters, and I can't leave any more poems that have been recited through the ages." ”
"I told you, your hands will be fine." Mu Wu stepped forward and slammed the lock on the prison door.
With a bang, the sturdy lock was torn in half like tofu.
Chen Shilang said in surprise: "You...... If you do that, you'll be imprisoned as well......"
"It's just a little more money." Mu Wu said nonchalantly: "I earn money just to spend it, so that I can do it recklessly." ”
