Chapter 126: The Great Prison

The conditions in the prison were very poor, and the dimly lit cell was filled with the smell of something moldy. At night, there are rats and cockroaches on the ground and crawling around on the table.

Su Qing leaned against the wall, sat on the thatch on the ground, and looked at the small ventilation window on the wall in a daze.

It was already late at night, and through the small window, I could see that the night sky outside had been smeared with a thick night. Su Qing couldn't help but sigh.

"Bang dang!"

There was a sound of metal clashing, and then the cell door opened, and the jailer threw a pot of bread to the ground like a pig.

Several people in the prison rushed up to grab the few cakes that had already been soiled.

Su Qing was very hungry, since he had eaten at the princess's mansion during the day until now, the water and rice had not been eaten, and he was already hungry with his chest sticking to his back.

Su Qing's hands are very long and he is burly, so it is not difficult to grab a few cakes to eat.

"Forget it, I won't eat it."

Su Qing returned to his "territory" with his loot, and just picked up the cake and was about to take a bite, but he couldn't stop a wave of nausea and almost vomited. The bread was rancid, and the smell in the air was indescribable.

Su Qing didn't know how long he was going to stay in such an environment, so he could only find a way to convince himself to endure the nausea and eat it.

Although Su Qing is not from a wide background, he has never suffered like this. Although there were days when I didn't take the next meal before, I didn't get down enough to eat gluttony.

Su Qing, who was exhausted, leaned against the wall and fell asleep, but was awakened by a scream.

Su Qing saw that a prisoner was taken out by the jailers, and several jailers searched for the broken silver on his body, and the man resisted, and was beaten by several jailers with fists and kicks, and the man was beaten again and again.

"This is the jailer's new greeting gift, either give money or be beaten, this is the rule." The cellmate who slept next to him yawned and said, obviously used to seeing such a scene, and he had become numb after a long time.

Su Qing couldn't control herself, and her body subconsciously trembled a few times. The cellmate rolled over, yawned, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Su Qing couldn't sleep, and the scenes of the day appeared in front of her eyes, and Su Qing felt warm when she thought of the princess scolding the pock-faced woman for herself. With the princess by Wanjun's side to take care of her, Wanjun shouldn't be bullied too much. Thinking of this, Su Qing felt a wave of sleepiness hit her, and fell into a deep sleep.

Wanjun was surprisingly calm at home, taking care of the business of the teahouse while comforting her mother-in-law Dou and Old Man Su.

Wanjun went to the teahouse early in the morning, arranged the business in the teahouse, went to the kitchen to make some things that Su Qing loved to eat, and carried the basket to go to the prison to visit the prison.

"The eldest brother of the jailer has worked hard, and the little sister has a little heart, not a respect." Wanjun quietly handed the broken silver to the jailer.

The jailer weighed the weight of the silver with his hand, and was very satisfied, so he let Wanjun enter without making a difficulty. Before entering the door, he pretended to say, hurry up and go back after reading it.

Wanjun nodded in agreement, carrying the basket and finding Su Qing's cell under the guidance of the jailer, the jailer opened the door and let Wanjun in.

The heavy moldy smell went straight into Wanjun's nostrils, and Wanjun couldn't help but sneeze.

Seeing her husband suffering in prison, Wanjun's heart was very uncomfortable, Wanjun believed that Su Qing was wronged, she had been in the Su family for so many years, Su Qing loved her very much, and she was not a negative man like the pockmarked face said.

Su Qing looked at the delicious meals that Wanjun brought to her, all of which were her favorite dishes.

"Wanjun, I really don't know that person."

Su Qing originally wanted to explain to Wanjun that she really didn't know that woman at all, and she really only loved Wanjun alone.

"Well, you must be hungry, come and eat."

But Wanjun didn't mention it, just repeatedly served Su Qing vegetables, poured wine for him, and served him to eat.

Wanjun watched Su Qing gobble up, and knew that he might have suffered a lot in prison recently, and thinking of the poor food in prison, Wanjun couldn't help but cry secretly.

There is no doubt that they are in love, Su Qing knows that Wanjun believes in herself, and she feels warm in her heart.

"Wanjun, thank you for having you."

Even if he is in prison, there is Wanjun who believes in himself and never gives up on himself. Su Qing knew that the person he loved was the right person.

The time spent together was always short, and in the blink of an eye, the jailer came running to urge them. Wanjun had no choice but to pack up the food box, say a few words to Su Qing and say goodbye in a hurry.

Wanjun, who returned home, was so worried that she locked herself in her room, her brows furrowed, and her fingers knocked on the table to think about countermeasures.

"Wanjun, what do you want this princess to do?"

The princess is also in a mess these days, she was moved by Wanjun's feelings for going to Su Qing, but she was confused by Wanjun's inaction. The princess originally thought that Wanjun would go to Mazimian's house again and again to find her, but she didn't expect Wanjun to go until now.

The princess was sitting in the room in a daze, and then someone reported that Xie Wanjun wanted to see the princess.

"Bring this princess to her."

The princess hurriedly got up to greet Wanjun, and she didn't care about changing her clothes and makeup.

At this time, Wanjun was sitting precariously, wearing delicate makeup and a pink dress, which did not look like a negotiation posture with a rival in love.

The princess accompanied Wanjun to the pockmarked house on the outskirts of the city. The dilapidated thatched house has fallen into disrepair, and the thatch on the roof has been replaced many years ago, and it has long lost its original color.

The grass house was even more crumbling, the windows were in tatters, and when the door was opened, it seemed that if it was a little stronger, it would fall down.

Mazi sat alone in the room, looking haggard, and it is estimated that he has endured rumors these days.

"Girl, I have something I want to talk to you about." Wanjun spoke first, breaking the silence.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xie, I really have some unspeakable secrets, and I feel bad when Brother Su is imprisoned." Mazi looked at the princess and Wanjun timidly, for fear that the original match would be angry and beat him violently.

"We came to you, there is only one purpose, I hope you can quickly go to the county government to tell the truth and release Su Qing." The princess resumed her posture and said condescendingly to the pockmarked face.

Mazi Face knows that so far, he has failed to harm Su Qing, and he has offended the princess again, if he doesn't know how to raise life and don't agree, the princess may not let herself feel better.

Mazi quickly knelt on the ground, respectfully kowtowed to the princess three times in a row, and then got up again and saluted Wanjun, hoping to get Wanjun's forgiveness.

In the past few days, Mazi Face has received a lot of bad words from her neighbors, although public opinion is still generally biased in favor of her, but the neighbors who know the true situation of Mazi Face are obviously hostile to her.

An orphan who lost his parents, afraid that he would not be able to marry, fabricated the facts, asked Su Qing to marry him, broke up the marriage of others, and begged Su Qing to make her a concubine with a shy face.

Mazi remembered the fingers and fingers of his neighbors these days, and finally mustered up the courage and decided to agree to go to the county government to tell the truth and release Su Qing.

The princess and Wanjun saw that it didn't take much effort to convince Mazi Face, and Ma Zi Face agreed to release Su Qing, and both of them felt instantly relieved.

"It's just that I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, and my intuition tells me that it can't be just a simple whim for them to trouble Su Qing." Wanjun lowered her head, held her chin in her hand, and said as she thought.

"Yes, she has no grudges with you in the past, and she has no grudges in the near future, and her ancestors have no grudges, so there is really no reason to pour dirty water on you." The princess looked suddenly enlightened.

The pockmarked face standing on the side listened to the conversation between the two and instantly trembled like chaff, failed to control his balance, and fell suddenly.

When Wanjun heard the sound, she hurriedly ran forward and helped her pockmarked face.

Looking at the fear in Mazi's eyes, Wanjun knew that her conjecture had been confirmed.

Perhaps there is a powerful and deeply hidden force behind Mazi Face, hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike, bringing a devastating blow to himself and his family.

Wanjun's hands trembled and lifted the pockmarked face up, and the two of them almost fell together. The princess noticed the strangeness of Wanjun and Mazi's faces, and gave them an encouraging look, which seemed to say, "Everything has me, don't worry." ”

With a trembling face, Mako pulled out an envelope from under the pillow with both hands and handed it to the princess.

The princess glanced at Wanjun and opened the letter without hesitation.

Ordinary envelopes, ordinary stationery, and the popular fonts of the time, it was completely impossible to see the identity information of the letter writer.

Ma Zimian said that he was not an orphan whose parents died early, and there was still an elderly and sick old mother at home who needed to be supported.

The mother is sick and bedridden all the year round, and needs to be taken care of for her diet and daily life. In order to earn money for her mother's treatment, she always had to do more work than others to earn some silver to support her mother. Sometimes there is no rice at home, so you can only go up the mountain to collect medicine to earn money.

"When I came back from collecting medicine in the mountains that day, I found the door of my house open. I thought I was in too much of a hurry when I left and didn't close the door. I went into the house and called my mother, but I found that my mother was not in bed. My mother has no ability to act at all, and I panicked, knowing that something must have happened. Mazi wept as she spoke, her voice choked and she couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Mazi tried to calm down his emotions and continued: "I searched all over the front and back of the house, but I didn't see my mother's figure, but I found this." Mazi pointed to the letter in the princess's hand.

The letter was very long, and the princess read it with Wanjun for a long time before reading it, which basically meant that she was asked to go to the stream to save a man who had fainted, and claimed to be his fiancée. If the man didn't buy it and didn't want to marry her, he went to the county government to sue him and framed him for cheating on marriage. And the letter also explained how to win sympathy by talking nonsense in the county government and let Su Qing be imprisoned unjustly.

After reading the letter, Wanjun was so angry that she crumpled the letter into a ball with her right hand, eager to tear it apart.
