The thirteenth meeting of the Criminal Department Prison XIII
After listening to the words of this jailer, Zhan Xiaoxiao couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. She was prepared for the darkness of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but she didn't know that it was so dark. The people here simply do not regard criminals as human beings, enslave criminals and even torture prisoners, are they not afraid of retribution? Perhaps these people have become numb, or perhaps these people do not believe in retribution at all, or are not even afraid of any retribution. What else would such a person dare not do? Are you still afraid of anyone? Zhan Xiaoxiao was a little worried about herself and her husband Qin Tai, if their husband and wife met this kind of opponent, would they still be able to get out of the way? The water here is too deep, so deep that it is terrifying, and Zhan Xiaoxiao is really worried that their husband and wife will not only fail to solve the case, but also die in this place. If they were caught by the other party, Zhan Xiaoxiao would definitely kill her husband Qin Tai and herself as soon as possible, she didn't want Qin Tai and herself to be ruined to death by these people. If he must die, Zhan Xiaoxiao is willing to end Qin Tai and his own life with his own hands. Just when Zhan Xiaoxiao was feeling pessimistic about the fate of herself and her husband Qin Tai, an old voice sounded from an inconspicuous corner. At that time, the jailer who said the secret with a scaremongering nature was gone, and there was no one else around Zhan Xiaoxiao. "This little guy is telling a little truth, but it's not the truth. He was sent by the other party to scare you, and wanted to make you settle down, not to cause trouble, and not to destroy their good deeds. Actually, things here are not really lawless. Several powerful people are in charge of this place, supervising each other and not letting things get serious. It's just that it's true that some prisoners are taken care of and some female prisoners are played, and this kind of thing is also done in local prisons outside, but it's not so serious. As for the fact that the cell boss was paid to reduce the sentence of the prisoner, it was fake, and the cell boss had no right to commute the sentence of the criminal, even if he said it, it was useless. As for the fact that they used their illness to transport criminals out of here as dead people, there should have been a few cases, but they were all ordered from above, and they were just pretending. These people have no right or guts to secretly arrange for criminals to go out, and besides, who will give them oil and water when criminals go out? This is all used to coax criminals, so that they can consciously and voluntarily pay money to honor everyone. Doll, if you have the guts, you might as well leave with your husband, for you can't handle things here. Although Zhan Xiaoxiao was startled by the sudden voice, she immediately realized that someone was deliberately reminding her. This person sounds not young, and he may be the friend that the godfather and the old drunkard master said. Unexpectedly, she didn't find the other party, but the other party had already paid attention to herself in the dark, it seems that the old drunkard master is right, these people really have their own abilities. Zhan Xiaoxiao calmed down his mood again and again, while trying to find someone to talk to. Finally, Zhan Xiaoxiao found a person, a person who kept working with his back to him, and he was most likely the old friend of the old drunkard master. If you find him, there is hope, and maybe you can find a breakthrough. Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't go up to meet this person right away, because Zhan Xiaoxiao was worried that there were people from the other side watching her. Judging from the fact that the other party sent a jailer to scare him, not only was the other party not paralyzed by himself, but also paid more attention to their husband and wife, and even sent someone to test and scare him. In this case, she must be watched by the other party, and she can't easily contact outsiders, otherwise she will hurt this person. The only way is to secretly observe this person when he doesn't know what to do, and find an opportunity to contact them privately, so that he can have a chance to introduce them to Qin Tai. Of course, Zhan Xiaoxiao was also worried that this wicked person was the other party's spy, and she didn't dare to bring this person to Qin Tai's side easily. If Qin Tai and himself were exposed, they might really not be able to leave here alive. For the safety of their husband and wife, in order to be able to complete the mission, she had to be careful and careful.
"Female doll, a little clever. Yes, someone is spying on you now, and you can't meet with me directly. Don't worry, I'm not from the other side, I just don't want to see two innocent people die here. Female doll, you can hit eight twice, which shows that you are quite upright and brave. I have heard of your skills, and I have heard of your husband's skills. If the two of you really want to do something, I'll introduce you to a person, his name is Wang Tong, and he is the secretary of a prison in the Criminal Department. He comes back every once in a while to visit the prison, and you can talk to him when the time comes. He knows a lot of secrets about this place in his belly, and he promises that it is true, and there will be no falsehood or expansion. Of course, you also have to pay some price, such as paying him some silver, so that he will know everything. Well, I won't talk to you any more, or those people will find out. Female doll, you can do it yourself. ”
When Zhan Xiaoxiao turned around and was about to say something, the figure disappeared. This man is not only familiar with the environment, but also has good skills. Zhan Xiaoxiao had no choice but to leave, but she remembered this person's words, and if she wanted to know the truth here, she must go to a bookstore named Wang Tong. Does this Wang Tong really know the secret here? Would the other party allow such a person to exist? Does Wang Tong have a backstage? Or do you have what you can do? Otherwise, the other party will never allow such a person to exist and hinder everyone from making money.
Zhan Xiaoxiao went back to discuss with Qin Tai secretly, and Qin Tai also felt that this matter was too strange. It stands to reason that the old drunkard master knows someone who has either seen through the red dust or someone who has nothing to do with himself, how can he take the initiative to contact outsiders and help people he doesn't know? Qin Tai also suspected that this person was the other party's pawn, and wanted to use this kind of person to thoroughly understand the true intentions of Qin Tai and his wife. If Qin Tai and his wife really just came to take refuge, they would definitely not pay attention to this kind of person, and if Qin Tai and his wife had a task, they would definitely contact Wang Tong. In this way, Qin Tai and his wife will not only expose themselves, but also trap themselves in each other's layout. It is very likely that Qin Tai and his wife will not be able to leave the prison of the Criminal Department alive, and there will be even bigger problems. Qin Tai always felt that the other party knew that he had a relationship with Zhang Juzheng, but he still targeted his husband and wife, which showed that the other party was not very taboo about Zhang Juzheng. Could it be that the other party's backstage is even more powerful than Zhang Juzheng? Or do they have Zhang Juzheng's handle in their hands, so they don't have to worry about Zhang Juzheng targeting them? If that's the case, they really have to be more cautious, lest the other party really kill them all.
Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao thought about it for a long time, and felt that it would be a loss not to meet Wang Tong for a while. If what this person said was true, and they really had nothing to do with the people in the prison of the Criminal Department, Qin Tai and his wife could not afford to lose this great opportunity. If these people are the other party's people, they can also use this opportunity to test the other party's bottom line and see how far the other party's power has developed. It happened that the next day was the day when Wang Tong came to inspect the prison of the Criminal Department, and Qin Tai decided to meet the famous Wang Tong in person.
People who see Wang Tong for the first time will think that this Wang Tong is too ordinary. There is very little to make an impression and not to attract everyone's attention at all. Wang Tong looked to be in his forties, with a chubby figure and a round face, and his eyes were almost invisible due to too much flesh on his face. The medium figure is dressed in a Hangzhou silk dress, and at first glance he looks like a person who works on an errand in the Yamen. Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Hong Wuye, Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a cattle herder, and what he hated most was rich people. At that time, the status of merchants was not high, so after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he ordered that merchants who did not have merit and fame should not wear silk and satin. From then on, no matter how rich a merchant was, he could not dress in public. Only the senior officials or the scribes in the government who dare to dress well in public are the high-ranking officials or the scribes in the official palace, and ordinary officials are more worried about being targeted by the imperial historian if they dress too well. Only those high-ranking officials, as well as the masters and scribes of the yamen who are not afraid of being said, dare to wear shoes and silk satin in public. Therefore, getting dressed has become a habit for the masters of the yamen, and at the same time, it is also a "long face" for their masters. Wang Tong is the secretary in charge of the daily expenses of the prison of the Criminal Department, and he has to come down every few days to review the expenses. If the expenses are too large, some unnecessary expenses should be temporarily cut. If there is a surplus, he will also discuss with you how to divide the balance equally. On the surface, it seems that this Wang Tong has a lot of power, but in fact, he does not have much oil and water, and he is the least powerful of many bookstores. can only rely on auditing and patrolling, and get a little kickback and benefits slightly, and some powerful cell bosses are not afraid of this Wang Tong at all. Because Wang Tong was a bit fat and had two mouse beards, some bold jailers nicknamed him "Water Mouse". It is said that he looks very similar to the rats in the water prison, so everyone called him that.
Before contacting Wang Tong, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiao inquired about Wang Tong separately. Based on everyone's views on Wang Tong, it seems that this Wang Tong not only has no rights and backstage, but also is not very powerful, otherwise he would not let everyone talk nonsense behind his back. You must know that there are several cell bosses in the prison of the Criminal Department, and no one dares to talk about them behind their backs, otherwise the next day they will be unlucky to talk nonsense. The people here are all people who deceive the good and fear the evil, whoever is powerful is the boss here, even if your status is not high, as long as you have the ability, you are a celebrity here. is like a person like Wang Tong, even if he has a high status, but he has no power in his hands, everyone is still not afraid of him. It seems that this Wang Tong is a nominal guy in the eyes of the vast majority of insiders. Could this be the true face of this Wang Tong? Or did this Wang Tong do this on purpose, so that he could collect intelligence and clues? Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao couldn't see this point, and only after positive contact could they have a correct answer. If this Wang Tong is not as known to everyone, then this person is too powerful, whether it is the other party's person or not, this person must pay attention to it and deal with it carefully.
