Chapter Twenty-Nine: Visiting Aluan
After a while, the two finally arrived at the yamen, Wei Xicheng took nine and a half to salute at the yamen, and the official saw that the two did not beat the drums, so he naturally knew that the two were coming to visit the prison. So he arched his originally lazy body and stood in front of the two.
"Who are the two people in front of the yamen? This is the important place of the yamen, if there is something to avenge the grievances, they will beat the drum and summon them; if they are visiting the prison, they will come directly to the court. If there is nothing to make noise in the court, it will be punished according to law. As he spoke, the officer's tone suddenly became stern and his tone trembled.
The two of Jiuwei were caught off guard, and were startled by the sudden loud voice of the servant. Where did Jiu Ban think that this official was so terrifying, he almost lost his manners in surprise, causing the other officials to look at him. But Wei Xi told Jiu and a half to relax, and he did everything. After all, they had already discussed it along the way: everything was arranged by Wei Xicheng.
Wei Xi took a step forward, saluted the officer, and then said, "I heard that the government has cleared out a bandit today. Xiaomin brought someone to visit the prison today, I wonder if the official family can let him go?"
The official glared: "Who wants to visit the prison? Anyone who is involved with the bandits will be taken to prison." Where is he?" As soon as he heard that someone related to the bandits was coming, the officials at the gate of the yamen were instantly interested, revealing their fierce faces one by one, and their eyebrows and eyes were undisguised.
Jiu Ban saw that the situation seemed to be wrong, and was about to directly step forward and pull Wei Xicheng to escape directly, but Wei Xicheng saluted again unhurriedly: "Xiao Min knew a person outside the city, and Xiao Min saw that he was coming here to look for relatives, so he brought him into the city. Then he told Xiaomin that he was the fiancΓ© of a certain family, but unfortunately the stranger did not know that his fiancΓ©e was actually the daughter of a bandit. β
"Now I heard that the government had already taken him into custody, and the stranger came to ask for an explanation, and the little people saw their sincerity, so they brought it here, hoping that the matter of visiting the prison would be carried out proudly, and the whole matter should be made clear. Then they will be cut in two, and according to the law, all those who are involved with the criminals will be imprisoned. But Xiao Minnian was a foreigner, and he came here without knowing it. β
"And that man wants to completely break off with the bandit, which doesn't seem to have much conflict with the laws of our country, and I hope that the official family can open the net. β
After saying that, Wei Xicheng bowed again, and the officials glanced at the other officials standing near the door, and nodded to each other. Then he glanced at Jiu and a half, and said to Wei Xicheng: "Since you are a foreigner, you should quickly break off the relationship with that bandit and leave." I won't wait to arrest anyone, but I hope it won't be too long. β
"Master Xie. Wei Xi took a look, then pulled the nine halves and followed the servant in the direction of the prison. Along the way, Wei Xicheng kept telling Jiu and a half not to startle the snake, and then talk when they meet, and not to talk nonsense in front of the officials, otherwise they will not be able to save him, and they will implicate themselves.
Jiu Ban said that he would never harm Wei Xiyan, after all, he helped him so much. If he harmed Wei Xiyan because of his own mistakes, then he would blame himself and be ashamed. This is a great pain for a people who are polite.
After going around the palace, the three of them finally came to the prison. The prison was extremely tight, with five men guarding the door alone, and then one person ten paces apart. The torches were lit, and the black smoke stained the place extremely unpleasantly.
"I will send you here, and the prison officials will take you in. Remember, if something happens, we're going to catch it on the spot. The official turned around and told Jiu Ban and Wei Xi Cheng again, and then went straight away.
Then the officer at the door of the prison looked at the two of them and said, "Come with me." So another group of three went into the prison where there was no sun.
Although it is not the first time that he has entered the prison, looking at the dim fire, Jiu Ban always feels that there is an inexplicable excitement in his heart, as if he likes the prison very much. Feeling the unnatural reaction in his heart, Jiuhan reached out and pressed his chest, suppressing the inexplicable throbbing in his heart.
And his actions fell in the eyes of the officer, but he was weak, and he was frightened by the gloomy color of the prison. There was no displeasure on the face of the officer, but he was just looking at the performance of the nine and a half, and the official always felt a hint of contempt looking at the nine and a half.
"In this prison, be careful, don't move. Otherwise, don't blame Senfa for its majesty. After saying such an inexplicable and wonderful sentence, the official turned the corner again, pointed to a prison cell, and said.
"This is the woman who was caught in the bandits' den that day, so you can go in and tell me what is going on. I'm waiting outside, and if I dare to make any moves, don't blame me for being ruthless. The servant moved his hand, opened the chains, and pushed open the door.
Wei Xi took a look, and then pointed to the door to let Nine and a Half in. Looking at the eerie and cold prison in front of him, and even revealing an unknown stench, he didn't feel half uncomfortable, but thought about Ah Luan in his heart, directly lifted his robe, and stepped in. Then the cell door was closed.
In the dimly lit cell, through a single window, Nine could barely see a thin figure tied to two large chains, half-hanging, looking towards the cell door.
Although it was not real, Jiu Ban knew that the bloodstained prisoner in front of him was Ah Luan who he was looking for on this trip, so he hurriedly approached and stretched out his hand, wanting to help Ah Luan to see why he was so seriously injured.
And when Ah Luan heard someone coming in, he wanted to get closer to him, and he subconsciously retreated. But all you can do is pull the chains, but there is nowhere to hide.
"Who are you, what are you doing here?" asked Luan with a sideways face.
Listening to the trembling and resentful color in Ah Luan's tone, Jiu Ban felt a pain in his heart: "Ah Luan, I am Jiu Ban." I heard that the government has investigated it and arrested you. I wanted to come and see you, and get you out. β
And Ah Luan didn't think too much about who could come to him in this prison. But when he heard Jiu Ban speak by himself, the anger in Ah Luan's heart exploded. The tragic death of her brother flashed through her mind again.
Ah Luan rushed forward angrily and yelled at Jiuhan: "You ungrateful villain, I trust you so much. But who knew that you actually went down the mountain and reported directly to the government and killed my whole village. I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you......"
"Do you know how my brother died tragically, he trusted you so much, and he still praised you, but how did you treat us. You villain, hypocrite. A big liar who is more brute than a brute. β
Listening to Ah Luan scolding there all the time, looking at Ah Luan's crazy appearance. Jiuban's heart was extremely painful, tears swirled in his eyes, and with a "poof", Jiuhan knelt directly in front of Ah Luan.
After Jiu Ban shook his two big slaps, Ah Luan suddenly stopped cursing, and just stared at him with his eyes glued, his eyes full of hatred. Jiu Ban lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the master." I promised you that you didn't report it to the government, and I did. But when I came down the mountain, I didn't know what was going to happen. When I heard that the head of the family had died tragically, I couldn't calm down for a long time. I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the housekeeper. I'm guilty. β
Then Jiu Ban suddenly straightened up, looked at Ah Luan and said, "Listen to me, I will definitely save you out." I'm going to take you out of this place and disappear into the city of lawsuits ...... altogether."
Before he could finish his sentence, Ah Luan directly interrupted him: "Take me away? Why do you want to take me away, do you think I will trust you again? Hypocrite, do you dare to swear to heaven that you didn't report to the government?"
Jiu Ban looked at Ah Luan and said: "I came directly to the city after I got off the mountain, you were born here, you know the distance between the mountain and the city." If it was really me who reported to the government, I should not have gone to the city to report to the government first. And then the government came out. But when I returned to the city, I heard that you were being held here, and if it was really my official report, how could it be so short. β
Although Ah Luan is a bandit in the eyes of the government, he is not an irrational person. Of course, this doesn't make sense, but Ah Luan just thinks that even if he is not the official of Jiubanbao, it has nothing to do with him.
I haven't found it for so long, why after nine and a half are gone. And the government went to find it. No matter what he says, his brother's death will definitely have nothing to do with him.
"Even if it's not you, then how are you going to take me away? Do you know that I can't leave the city, and if I could, do you think my brother wouldn't do it?" However, when Jiuban saw that Ah Luan could calm down, his heart was already settled.
"Why is this? Anyway, this is what I've always wanted to ask, since you don't want to stay here, why doesn't the owner take you away?" Jiu Ban looked at Ah Luan with a puzzled look.
Ah Luan laughed dryly, looked at Jiu Ban and said, "I don't know why, as soon as I get out of the lawsuit, I will be bedridden." The farther away it gets, the more serious it becomes. And only by not going out of the city boundary can I be safe. That's why my brother had to find a mountain in the wilderness as a place to live. It's just that I didn't expect that now it was destroyed by the government, and I was pressed into prison. And the reason for all this is that damn harshness. The damn law, without which we wouldn't be able to live a normal life. β
"Then I'll take you out of here and get you out. In this prison, one day the government will deal with you. Why don't you go out with me?" Jiu Ban kept begging Ah Luan to go with him and save her out. And Ah Luan just shook his head, without any words of trust.
After talking to Jiu Ban, Ah Luan had already figured it out in his heart. But to forgive him for that is absolutely impossible. Unless his brother survived, nothing happened to that cottage. But is all this possible? Of course, the answer is no, so Luan will not forgive him.
And when I watched Ah Luan fall into his own demons, he didn't want to listen to his own words. Thinking of everything he saw in the city, Jiu Ban sighed and said, "The harsh government is fiercer than the tiger." β
Just as I was about to say a few words, the door of the cell opened. Wei Xicheng walked in: "Hey, the official is starting to urge." Let's go quickly, if the time passes, the officials will arrest us directly. Let's go. β
Jiu Ban glanced at Ah Luan and sighed. Then he walked out directly with Wei Xicheng. The officer locked the door again, and walked out with the two of them.
And just as he was about to walk out of the prison half, a voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Lin Ze, Lin Ze, can you hear me?" a voice that he had never heard before rang in his ears, accompanied by a faint sound like lightning piercing the clouds, and the voice said intermittently, "I'm in the process of technical fixes right now, and it will take some time to get in touch with you, and now I can only get in touch with you at certain points." Be careful, I'll be looking for you soon......"
Jiu Ban was shocked at first when he heard this voice, and then quickly pulled Wei Xicheng and said, "Did you hear any sound?" Wei Xicheng looked at Jiu Ban with a blank expression: "Yes? No, who else can there be besides the three of us?"
Jiu Ban saw that Wei Xicheng didn't react at all, and the voice still kept around his ears, remembering what Tan Yiju had explained to himself, Jiu Ban thought that this was because he had changed his life against the sky. And it's still in this dark prison, and I can't afford to think about it too much.
The voice lingered in his ears, full of things he didn't understand, and he was cold all over his body, and he rushed directly towards the prison gate in a panic.
Then there was a panicked shouting there and walked out of the prison. Everyone held the weapons in their hands and looked at him.
And when he rushed out of the prison door, Jiu Half was suddenly stunned. The sound of the sprite was indeed gone. It's just that in the end, it seems to have scolded himself a few words. But he was so frightened that he didn't hear clearly.
Then Wei Xi took him by his arms and asked, "What happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly seem to go crazy?" It's just a glance, there's no need to be so upset with yourself. If you really have an idea, let's go back and figure it out. β
The last officer shouted at the crowd, and they put down their weapons and returned to their positions.
Nine and a half looked at the movements of the people around him, and glanced back at the prison. Jiu Ban shook his head at Wei Xicheng: "It's okay." It may have been a hallucination just now, I heard some unknown voices, and now it's fine. Let's go now, I don't want to stay here anymore. β
Wei Xicheng shouted "hey", and then walked towards the yamen with Jiu Ban again. When there was no one nearby, Wei Xi took the top nine and a half and asked, "How is it, what did that girl say?"
Jiu Ban smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What else, Ah Luan won't forgive me for saying anything this time." Just thinking about being in charge of the house, my heart is extremely painful, if it weren't for me......"
Forget it, since Ah Luan is unwilling, then we don't have to spend so much effort on the follow-up things. Let's hurry up.
Along the way, Wei Xicheng and Jiu Ban said some things about the lawsuit, and there were some strange legends that circulated among the people. And there is one of them that really interests Nine and a Half.
"Are you saying that Luan Feng once appeared in the city? And Wei Xicheng waved his hand, it was many years ago, and I don't know if it's true or not, let alone a folk legend. It's just that those things are recorded in the classics, and you can look them up when you have time. There will be discoveries.
Then Wei Xicheng returned to his home with Jiu Ban, and as soon as he entered the door, Wei Xicheng shouted: "I'm back, are you there, Xiaofan? β
Nine and a half were stunned: "There are other people in the family, why didn't Brother Wei mention it?"
Wei Xicheng laughed loudly: "I'm such a big person, how can I not have a wife and children at home." I think it's Brother Nine-and-a-half, you yourself have a preconceived idea. But it doesn't matter, I'm sure Brother Nine and a Half will definitely have someone he likes. Now settle down in my house. Let's make another plan when the time comes. β
Jiu Ban answered, and then followed Wei Xicheng into the house. I opened the door and sat at the table pouring water, and a woman came out of the side door.
Although this woman was wearing coarse cloth clothes, she had a good face, although she was a little glamorous, she was not pretentious, but had some ethereal and light feelings. If you dress up, Jiuhan believes that it is no worse than those princes and nobles. At least that's what he thinks.
Jiuhan clasped his fists and said to Wei Xicheng: "Brother Wei is really blessed, to have such a good wife and children. But I envy others. Although Wei Xicheng said, "There have been awards, where can the wife of the dregs in the family get into the eyes of outsiders." But the mouth that couldn't close the smile betrayed the excitement and joy in his heart.
Wei Xicheng knew that his wife and children were very beautiful, but it was a pity that he followed him. It's been a pain in her life. And his wife and children never abandon him, which made Wei Xicheng sigh with emotion.
"I don't know that there are guests at home, and I hope this son will not be surprised. Xianggong, you are really, and you don't know if you want to have a guest at home. So I'm going to get ready. I can't take anything out of the house now, so what are I doing to entertain guests?" Wei Xi laughed when he saw his wife angry.
"Don't be busy, don't be busy, Brother Nine and a Half is going to live in our house permanently, Brother Nine and a Half will take off his clothes and hand them over to Xiaofan to clean first. I'll go to the kitchen and have a look. β
