The servant of the Chen family came back again, with a reply from the county order, and said: "The case of that Song Ye is very clear, the big order is judged quickly, and he has ordered someone to beat him with 20 boards, and now he is in prison, and after a few days the stick sores are better, and he will be sent to serve a year of hard labor." ”

If a person is reluctant to suffer from this hardship, and the crime is not very serious, he can pay for it. After the ransom, the person only needs to deliver a certain amount of grain to the designated place every year for three to five consecutive years to be exonerated from the crime.

Chen Bin looked at Song Haonian with a smile in his eyes, waiting for his reaction.

Song Haonian took Song Haojie to the end of benevolence and righteousness, and there was no reason to atone for him to be charged, and when he heard the words, he said: "I know, I will send some medicine, bedding and food to the prison tomorrow." ”

Chen Bin's face was relieved: "That's simple, I will ask him to take you in tomorrow, in the end, it is your brother, I don't care about it at all, and it is not your person." ”

Song Haonian shook his head: "If I didn't teach my brother well, where do I still have the face to see you?" Ignoring Chen Bin's repeated retention of food and wine, he went back to the town to tell his father and mother Song Haojie's whereabouts.

Niu Shi cried so much that he fainted, and Song Laohan's old face was tense: "It's okay to go in with the evil barrier, so as not to affect the family!"

Song Haonian told Niu, "Tomorrow I will visit the prison and bring some stick sore medicine and bedding to the third child." ”

Niu Shi immediately alerted: "I have no money, don't you want to take one from me!"

Song Haonian was helpless, "I don't want your money, you just have to prepare your things, if you don't feel at ease, I will ask my eldest brother to go to the county with me tomorrow to see the third child." ”

He almost sent his own brother to prison with his own hands, how could he not be heartbroken? But Niu's words and deeds almost made him laugh.

Niu's crying and crying were mixed, and Song Laohan made the decision: "In this case, the eldest daughter-in-law went to prepare some medicine and food for the third child, and brought the bedding, and the eldest and second child Ming'er went to the city to see the third child." ”

The family here discussed going to the county tomorrow to see the Song Festival, but they didn't know that someone had already rushed to meet them in front of them.

The cells of the county government were dark and damp, with piles of straw thrown in the corners, emitting an indescribable stench, and bed bugs crawling in and out of the straw piles, sometimes climbing onto prisoners and sucking two mouthfuls of blood.

Song Haojie asked the officials to beat twenty boards, probably because Chen Bin had sent someone to do it before, but he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, but his skin was broken and his flesh was rotten, and he couldn't say that he couldn't do it, and he couldn't faint for a hundred.

He is not a backbone person, crying for his father and mother when he hurts, and at this time he is lying in the straw pile and crying profusely, which adds a lot of misery and dirt to this wet cell.

There were few people in the county jail, and Song Haojie was locked next door to the torture cell, and the cold light of the torture equipment could be seen from time to time in the corner of his eye, which became more and more terrifying.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded in the empty cell, Song Haojie was half frightened, and wanted to hide himself in the straw pile, but his body hurt so much that he had to pull some straw with both hands and cover his head, and he threw himself into the grass pile and shivered regardless of his head.

"Yo, Brother Haojie, what are you doing here?" said a laughing voice.

Song Haojie was stunned for a moment, suddenly got out of the straw, forced his beaten body to pounce on the railing, and begged externally: "Brother Chen, I don't have a heart, save me out, I will be a cow and a horse for you, and I will never fight the west if you point to the east in the future!" Song Haojie didn't follow the hall, I don't know what's going on, Song Haojie has personal experience, I know that he was sent by Chen Bin, and the county order treats Chen Bin's servant very carefully, and he doesn't even ask much about interrogation, and directly orders someone to hit the board, Song Haojie can't stand the board, screaming and shaking all his details

Fall out.

The county ordered someone to stop the board and sentenced him to 20 canes, and the one-year sentence was said to be 20 boards, but in fact, he was beaten for many miles when he passed the court.

Chen Bin can send him into this ghost place, and he has the ability to fish him out. Song Haojie is not bright in other aspects, but when it comes to his own interests, he is very able to hit the nail on the head, knowing that it is useless to ask Song Haonian, and he really has to ask Chen Bin.

The servant at the back brought a chair and put it on the ground, Chen Bin took his robe and sat down, looked at Song Haojie carefully for a while, and then said: "Brother, you look miserable now, it's really distressing." Song Haojie only learned to look at Niu's face to please her, so that he could get more benefits, but he had not learned to look at other people's faces, Chen Bin treated him very indulgently before, he only regarded Chen Bin as a good intention, and cried: "Brother Chen, I hurt so much that I really didn't have the intention to grab the cloth, but I was a ghost for a while."

Xinqiao, you take me out, I will never do it again in the future!"

Chen Bin smiled: "I am a businessman, I never do loss-making business, brother, think about it." ”

Song Haojie was stunned: "Didn't you say that the two of us are so good, regardless of you and me?"

"Originally, there was no distinction, since you robbed my store, I thought, it is better to distinguish clearly. Chen Binren was smiling, but his tone was very gloomy, and he didn't look like the smiling and very kind silk shop owner in the past, but like a prisoner with human blood on his hands.

Song Haojie's courage was already very weak, and he was almost scared to pee at this time, but he didn't drink water when he got up early, and he urinated for a while, and he didn't pee a drop.

He trembled and said, "Brother Chen, I was wrong, I knew I was wrong, please, please"

He looked miserable, if he was outside, it would really make those who heard it cry and those who saw it sad, and the few people who could see him in this prison were all ruthless masters, and they didn't even move the corners of their eyes.

Chen Bin said to himself slowly: "Although your eldest brother and I are not individuals, we are very envious of people, and I love splendid articles in my life, and I carve a few small seals in my spare time."

He was idle aimlessly, but Song Haojie couldn't stand it, he was in pain and scared, crying so hard that he couldn't make his speech, "Please, please, please"

Chen Bin smiled and took Song Haojie's hand, "Brother, why are you crying? With my brother here, I won't make you suffer." ”

Song Haojie looked at him stunned, he was already stunned by this threat, threat, Huairou, and lure, and he didn't even know what he was, let alone what he had to do to get Chen Bin to save him.

Chen Bin smiled and said: "I won't tell you, it's easy for you to come out, just get a lot of money, I'm a businessman, I always have to make a good deal." ”

"My father and mother are rich!" Song Haojie immediately shouted, "They have money, they can ransom me out!"

"Ling Zun Lingtang is old, and when he knows this, he is frightened, and I don't dare to go to them. ”

"My second brother also has money, he just repaired the big house, the tofu workshop, he has a lot of money, Brother Chen, you just go to him, he can give you as much money as he wants!"

Song Haojie was already jealous of Song Haonian, and at this time, he couldn't care about himself in the fire pit, so he didn't think about burning the fire to Song Haonian.

Chen Bin thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your second brother has a lot of places to spend money, and he is only afraid of being poor right now." Brother, you are a smart person, you have a treasure on yourself, why do you ask others?"

Song Haojie was stunned for a long time before he remembered what treasure he was carrying, took out a white and warm jade pendant from the collar with shaking hands, and asked, "Brother Chen, are you here for this?"

Chen Bin stretched out his hand, Song Haojie hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, pulled off the jade pendant and put it in Chen Bin's hand.

Chen Bin was very satisfied, stood up and dusted off his robe, and said, "Brother, don't let others know about this, I'll go and get some county orders and try my best to save you out." ”

Although Song Haojie asked someone to deceive a piece of jade pendant, he was afraid and in awe of Chen Bin in his heart, and admired him very much. After a while, I remembered that I was still injured, and I fell back into the straw and suffered.

Chen Bin took the jade pendant and went back to show it to Shopkeeper Liu: "Get it!"

Shopkeeper Liu frowned and said: "The jade pendant is in hand, but the method is a little subordinate, if you investigate it in the future, you are not afraid of eating and hanging?" Chen Bin's face darkened, and he paused before saying: "I thought, it is unlikely to be him, even if I offend him, it has nothing to do with it." It's easy to leave this matter to the officials, and I can get out, but I really don't feel at ease to ask someone else to do it, and I have to do it myself. If it's really me who looks away,

In the future, when Song Haojie is proud, I will flee to Nanyang and never come back. "Why bother to force yourself to this?" Shopkeeper Liu sighed, looked at the light and carefully observed the jade pendant, and said for a while: "Jade is a good jade, and this is not something that ordinary people can use, let alone the womb, but we don't know the pattern of the jade pendant back then, but we wrote to Wang Lao."

Sir, it's good to ask clearly. ”

Chen Bin nodded yes, "At the beginning, he tried his best to persuade us to explore the truth and truth, but now that the jade pendant is in hand, he gave us an answer to the truth." ”

Shopkeeper Liu took a pen and paper, drew the shape and pattern of the jade pendant, and handed it to Chen Bin after painting, "You pass it to Master Wang, you must take good care of this jade pendant, and the lives of our few people are on you!"

Chen Bin said: "I know. ”

His family is still in the capital, and he only brings a snow lady with him, although the shopkeeper Liu took his wife and Yueniang, and his sons are also in the capital. If something happens, they may be able to escape, and the family will inevitably be affected by them, and there will be no better situation.

Chen Bin was secretly ruthless: It's not Song Haojie, if it's really him who is very unlucky, he will fight to kill him, so as not to harm his wife and children.

Chen Bin sent a ruthless back, returned to his room and wrote another letter, explaining the reason in detail, sealing it in the envelope with the drawn pattern, dripping wax on the outside, taking out a small seal that he carried with him and stamping it, and asking Xue Niang to send it to the capital as soon as possible.

Xue Niang is not surprised, she has her own channel for sending letters, which is much more confidential than ordinary channels, and even Chen Bin has to beg her. She sent this letter for Chen Bin, and Chen Bin had to buy a gold-inlaid hairpin to give her as a thank you gift, so that she would not be in vain to meet him.

Xue Niang went out and came back, the letter was no longer in her hand, and she didn't know where to send it. The tossing letter was sealed on the wax seal with Chen Bin's small seal, and Xue Niang glanced down before sending the letter, and those words were the words "Jinyi Wei Chen Bin".
