Chapter Twenty-Six: Dialogue in Prison (5,000-word chapter, ask for recommendations and favorites)
"Brother cell, I don't know what to call you?"
Seeing the panicked appearance of the cell leader, Hu Qiong's heart was half relieved, he knew that his strategy was correct, and the most important thing for subsequent development was to see his own on-the-spot performance. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The so-called too much, the fish have begun to bite the hook, then don't worry, only the relaxation, orderly advance and retreat, the fish will bite the hook tighter, so as not to run off the hook.
So when Hu Qiong heard the cell boss bow his body and shamelessly ask how he should perfect this confession, he smiled, and then seemed to inadvertently change the topic, and chatted with the cell boss very reservedly.
"The contemptible surname is Zhou, how old is my age, you can call me Brother Zhou. β
When Hu Qiong asked how to call himself, the cell boss straightened his already straight body again, held his head high, and told Hu Qiong what his surname was in a very proud tone.
It stands to reason that this cell boss has been in this Chongyi County prison for decades, and all kinds of people have not seen it, even if he is ten times more cunning than Hu Qiong, he has been rectified and obedient in the hands of this cell boss. And now being led by Hu Qiong like this, all the reactions are under Hu Qiong's control, mainly because Hu Qiong's performance has always been so calm, even when he heard him and Na Kuai discussing Hu Qiong as a scapegoat and secretly killing him, this Hu Qiong did not show the slightest look of fear, and even when he had already brought the decapitated meal, this kid was still able to be so calm, and he could also point out the problems of his own confession one by one, which was completely fearlessγ
If he is a fool and bold, he doesn't know how to write dead characters at all, but he still has problems with this confession, and he is clear, and he is a good person, and he doesn't look like a fool at all.
If it weren't for seeing that Hu Qiong was too young, the cell boss would even think that this was where the Bafu patrol came from, and he came to make a private visit to the micro-service in this Panlong Town.
If it's a little prince or something, it doesn't have that kind of arrogance.
He said that he was dressed in tatters, but he spoke and behaved as if he was well-educated, and he seemed to be a person who had not suffered much, and all of this was unpredictable.
Since this is unpredictable, it can only wait and see. Therefore, at this time, seven points of the panic shown by the cell head are his true manifestations, and three points are pretended, as long as Hu Qiong shows a little flaw, the cell head will definitely become the fierce and vicious appearance before.
"Listening to Brother Zhou's accent, it seems that he is from Juzhou, what does it have to do with my founding general, Zhou Qi, General Zhou?"
This Hu Qiong is also a snake beater, and when he heard the cell boss politely say that he could call him eldest brother, Hu Qiong immediately changed his mouth and called the other party big brother.
And this Hu Qiong's head also reacted very quickly, and the pride revealed when he heard this cell boss introduce his surname, as if he was a relative of the emperor. Combined with the accent of this cell head with a bit of a Juzhou accent, Hu Qiong's mind immediately appeared the name of Zhou Qi, the founding general who followed the founding emperor of the Heath Empire to fight in the north and south three hundred years ago, and was named the Governor of Youzhou after the founding of the country.
"Uncle Zhou is the next ancestor. β
When he heard Hu Qiong ask about his relationship with Zhou Qi, although the cell boss seemed to be more reserved, his voice was raised several degrees, and he wished that the people of the entire Chongyi County could hear that the founding general Zhou Qi was his eight-life ancestor.
"I didn't expect that Brother Zhou turned out to be a famous family, and I really don't know Taishan, little brother, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Seeing that this cell boss actually took out the ancestors of these eight lifetimes to show off, although Hu Qiong's heart was extremely contemptuous, and while making a surprised and ashamed expression on his face, he also bowed his hand to express his respect.
I was surprised to be able to meet by chance after a famous family, and this shame is ashamed of Hu Qiong himself, ashamed of his eyes and beads, and his lack of knowledge of gold and jade.
"Speaking of which, your eldest brother and I have been reduced to this small Chongyi County prison to eat, this is simply a shame to the ancestors. β
Although when he heard Hu Qiong say that he was a famous queen, the cell leader's face was about to laugh like a flower, but the words that came out of his mouth were ashamed and ashamed.
"I think Brother Zhou's words and deeds have the style of ancestors, now Big Brother you are just dormant in this Chongyi County, as long as there is a chance, it will definitely soar into the sky, and it may not be impossible to surpass Uncle Zhou. β
This Hu Qiong also belongs to the lord who tells lies and doesn't blink his eyes, this opening is to bow to the king, and he doesn't look at what kind of virtue this cell boss has grown, it is typical of cannon fodder's life.
"How can it be so easy to greet the king, don't say catch up with the ancestors, as long as I don't embarrass the ancestors on the day I close my eyes, and I can have the face to see the ancestors, my brother I will be satisfied. β
After hearing the words of the king, the eyes of the cell boss began to glow green, although the mouth was so modest, but the ambition in his heart began to swell.
"Xiao Zhang, go to Sixi Lou to fry a few appetizers, and then make a whole jar of good wine. Today, I am lucky to meet my little brother, brother, and I must have a few drinks with this little brother Hu. β
Under Hu Qiong's praise, this cell boss was so happy that he almost forgot his surname, and he couldn't wait to make a blood alliance with Hu Qiong and become brothers of the opposite sex. felt that this Hu Qiong was his confidant, and everything he said went to his heart.
The more the two chatted, the closer they became, and the cell boss didn't care about any reserve or identity, so he just sat on the broken straw mat and talked with Hu Qiong.
The more he talked, the more itchy the cell leader's heart became, and in the end he realized that he needed a little wine to help the fun at this time, and it was best to be able to get drunk before resting.
"Big brother, this can get acquainted with you, that's the blessing of the younger brother. This meal should have been invited by the younger brother, but the younger brother and I just suffered a misfortune today, and I was also penniless, so I had to rub my brother's cheekiness. One day there is a chance, my brother will come to the capital, and I will be the east, let's drink the best wine, eat the best dishes, visit the best green house, all the expenses, my little brother and I will be round. β
After a flattery, the two are already brothers and sisters, hooking shoulders and backs. At this time, Hu Qiong saw that the cell boss was on the rise, and took the opportunity of him preparing to order wine and food, and vaguely pointed out that he was also a heel.
"That's right, brother. I see that you are so young, how can you be so familiar with this criminal name?"
After hearing the meaning of Hu Qiong's words, the cell boss also wanted to probe the other party's bottom and see what kind of Hu Qiong came from.
"My father was also in charge of a criminal case in the early years, and at that time, my younger brother and I happened to be under the knee of my father. β
Hearing that the cell boss began to probe his bottom, Hu Qiong knew that this meat drama was about to start, and his identity as the second generation of officials was about to appear.
"It seems that brother, you are also a family scholar, I don't know what Lord Lingzun's name is?"
Hearing Hu Qiong say that he was a son of an official eunuch, although the cell boss was a little worried, he was not very afraid, and it was very likely that it would be a general sentence to be in charge of a criminal case, besides, this was still done before, and now who knows whether it is promoted or demoted, in case it is a retired old cadre, it is also a person who walks away, who cares about him. So at this moment, the cell boss decided to continue to find out all the details of Hu Qiong and then make plans.
"How dare a man who is a son of man say his father's name, and his father is a son. β
At this time, Hu Qiong behaved like a person who had undergone a good family education, and the whole mouthful of crepe words was almost open and closed.
"Zicai, Hu Zicai, are you the son of Hu Tianguan's family?"
After reciting Hu Qiong's father's words twice, all of a sudden, the cell boss thought that it was Hu Lai and Hu Zicai. Maybe he couldn't understand how Hu Qiong in front of him had become a second-generation senior official, so the cell boss was still a little unconvinced and asked Hu Qiong again.
"My father has indeed just entered the ministry. β
As a well-educated second-generation official, this must not be able to talk about who my father is all day long, so in the face of the doubts of the cell boss, Hu Qiong just replied lightly, my father is indeed in the Ministry of Officials, that is, an ordinary person in the Ministry of Officials.
"Master Hu, you don't enjoy Qingfu in the capital, why did you end up in a small border county like us?"
After hearing Hu Qiong personally admit that he was the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials, the face of the cell leader immediately became cloudy, after all, the gap between an extremely tall and high-ranking official like the Ministry of Shangshu and a small official like himself is too far, and it is easier to clean himself up than to crush an ant to death with his hands. If this Hu Shangshu knew that he was trying to murder his son, he would not need him to make a move, and he would be able to die eight hundred times.
It is precisely because of this frightened heart that the cell boss wants to really kill Hu Qiong. If Hu Qiong's family doesn't know that he has come to Chongyi, then as long as this work is done cleanly, he will not know when the time comes.
If Hu Qiong's whereabouts have always been known to his family, then he has to think of a way to get out of this connection.
"This is all to blame for my little brother's playfulness, I originally came to participate in my aunt's fiftieth birthday, and when I came to Chongyi County, I saw that there was still some time before my aunt's birthday, so I thought about going for a good walk in Chongyi County and enjoying the great rivers and mountains of our Heath Empire.
Who knew that this catastrophe would befall from heaven, and he encountered robbers as soon as he stepped into Chongyi County. It's also the little brother who shouldn't die, and under the desperate protection of his subordinates, he escaped by luck. When I arrived in the village in front of the camp, I exchanged clothes with my subordinate and ordered him to go to my uncle's place to report the news, while I walked behind with my pig ingots. β
As if he didn't see the fierce light in the eyes of the cell leader, Hu Qiong told the other party about his experience of being exiled to Yingqian Village in a heartfelt tone. I couldn't help but believe these words, after all, when Hu Qiong said these words, he didn't even hit the draft, and he opened his mouth to come.
"What can I do about this? It's not just that he once went to Chongyi, but even the news that he stayed in front of the camp. When the time comes, as long as you send someone to inquire in front of the camp, there will be no stuffing exposed. No, I can't believe this kid based on these few words alone, I have to set his bottom again. β
After hearing Hu Qiong's words, the cell leader's heart was about to despair, and he felt that the sky was about to fall, and he held on to the last glimmer of hope, hoping that this Hu Qiong was an impostor.
"Hu Gongzi, that's Jiren's own heavenly appearance, and this god and Buddha are blessing you. By the way, people in a small place like us may not have the opportunity to go to the capital in their lives, so it is better for Childe to introduce us to what are the interesting places in the capital, so that I can show off when the time comes. β
After feeling that Hu Qiong's bottom was unfathomable, the cell boss could only try his best to distinguish the authenticity.
"Sample, just like this, I still want to test my authenticity, don't you know that my master's best thing is storytelling and storytelling, okay. Let me tell you a good piece of my trip to the capital. β
As soon as the cell boss showed his mouth, Hu Qiong knew what the other party was thinking in his heart, and knew that once the other party knew his details, he would definitely not be soft. After organizing the words in his heart a little, Hu Qiong began to blow. No, I should say that I started to talk about the book.
In Hu Qiong's words, the entire capital of the Heath Empire was completely imprinted in his mind. The girls in which building are beautiful, the food in which restaurant is delicious, and where to play in what season, everything is clear. If it weren't for the people who knew Hu Qiong's details, after listening to this paragraph, they would mistakenly think that Hu Qiong was making a living as a tour guide in the capital.
Although he was a little dizzy by Hu Qiong's ridicule, the cell boss confirmed at least one thing in his heart, that is, this Hu Qiong should have stayed in the capital, and the time spent would not be too short, and his family was good, he was a swinger, and he was idle and wandering around all day long.
In fact, how did this cell boss know, in fact, this Hu Qiong, like him, had never been to the capital of the Heath Empire, and all of this was just listening to what those high-rollers said when he was in Fengyi Tower, at most he added some of his own words.
"Childe came to pay my aunt's birthday this time, why didn't the young master come to pick you up?"
Hearing that Hu Qiong's description of the capital was so detailed and clear, the cell boss knew that he couldn't find a flaw in it, so he changed his words and turned the topic to where he could understand.
"Where did I hear the news, my aunt is the only one under her knees, my cousin Wanjun, where did the cousin young master come from? Could it be that my uncle has an outer room outside, and he actually gave birth to a son. Okay, my uncle's ability has risen now, and he dares to raise an outer room and give him children, which is really against him. β
When she heard the cell boss say why her aunt's son didn't come to pick her up, Hu Qiong was extremely angry, and shouted to tell her aunt.
"Master Hu, please stop being angry. This must be a small mishearing, after all, the little one is just a small official, this Governor Huang's family affairs, where the small one is clear, this is just hearsay. β
Seeing Hu Qiong's angry appearance, the cell boss hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him from dissipating his anger. Seeing Hu Qiong's anger, the cell boss believed at least eighty percent of Hu Qiong's identity. Because the Governor Huang mentioned by the cell leader, that is, Hu Qiong's cheap uncle, named ****, is the governor of Nanbu Province of the Heath Empire, and he is a feudal official who manages the army and the people. It is also the boss of this old Zhou's boss, in the mouth of ordinary people, this Governor Huang is a good model of respecting and loving his wife, and Governor Huang, who has only one pearl in the palm of his hand in the Heath Empire, who pursues three unfilial pieties and has no queens, does not take concubines, but guards the wife of the chaff. And all the officials in Nanbu know very well that this Governor Huang does not want to take concubines, but that he belongs to a typical strict wife, and he has a strong wife in his family, so he does not dare to take concubines.
After Hu Qiong put down his anger, the cell boss chatted with Hu Qiong without saying a word. Although there is no clear theme, all the topics revolve around some rumors between Hu Lai and some relatives and friends.
The more we talked, the more sure the cell boss was that the Hu Gongzi in front of him was indeed the son of our Ministry of Heavenly Officials Hu Shangshu's family, because this Hu Gongzi knew everything about Hu Shangshu's family clearly.
Although Hu Qiong did not know whether the situation in Hu Lai's house she described was true or false, Hu Qiong decided that although all of these words could not be said to be true, at least more than eighty percent of them should be correct.
Because this information about Hu Lai was still required by Hu Qiong to remember when Lao Dao was alive. Back then, Lao Dao once sorted out the information of officials on the entire Barrens Continent who he felt had potential and asked Hu Qiong to memorize it, and this Hu Lai was the focus of Lao Dao's attention. He gave a detailed description of Hu Lai's character, hobbies, habits, and style of doing things, and also made a summary of the information of his ancestors for eight generations. For everything Hu Lai, Lao Dao not only asked Hu Qiong to remember it firmly, but also asked him to constantly review these materials, and even asked Hu Qiong to learn to speak Quanzhou. So much so that Hu Qiong has been wondering for a while whether this Hu Lai is her cheap father.
It is precisely because he knows this Hu Lai well, so when he was in Yingqian Village, Hu Qiong pretended to say that his hometown was Hu Lai's hometown - Quanzhou, which was also to lay a foreshadowing for this moment.
"Hu Gongzi, you sit here to eat some food and drink a glass of wine, I have something to deal with in a little one, and I will come back to accompany you in a while." β
After feeling that he had completely figured out Hu Qiong's identity, as soon as Xiao Zhang, who went to the restaurant to buy wine, came back, the cell boss invited Hu Qiong into his room, and waited for Hu Qiong to sit down at the table. I found a reason to run out, ready to find someone to discuss countermeasures.
Of course, at this time, in addition to taking off Hu Qiong's bracelet and anklet, the cell boss also ordered his subordinates to serve well, of course, this is not without the meaning of surveillance, and it can be regarded as preventing Hu Qiong from running away secretly.
"Looks like it's time for us to make a little bit of a fortune again. β
Looking at the back of the cell boss hurrying away, Hu Qiong couldn't help touching her chin with her hand, thinking a little proudly.
