In the dimly lit prison, inferior torches hung on the walls, and the faint white smoke was obliterated in the darkness, faintly reflecting the loess in the darkness.
It was already hour, and Suzaku Street was empty, only the distant husband and wife were making noises.
Lao Ying has been in prison for about three months, and his family has tried their best to spend money on him. And unlike the usual cells where petty thieves are kept, the prison is always quiet. Except for the occasional jailer who was in charge of bringing a few nests, only a few pigeon calls and whistles came from the next cell from time to time.
This night is a night when the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
"What are you thinking?"
Lao Ying was as stunned as ever, but there was such a sentence in his ears. Lao Ying hurriedly looked left and right for a while, and finally realized that this sentence came from next door.
It was a very young man...... In prison, he also teased pigeons, and he had a good attitude. But none of those who were sent to prison were guilty of a trivial matter.
Lao Ying hesitated for a long time before responding: "I'm thinking about my daughter's affairs." ”
The man laughed, his laughter was hearty, and there was a hint of lightness in his voice: "What's wrong with Ling Ai?" ”
"She's about to give birth," Lao Ying sighed, "She has been beautiful since she was a child, has a good personality, and is very well-behaved, always holding my legs and calling me Daddy...... As soon as she shouted, my heart softened, and I bought whatever I wanted. When I grew up, when I was old enough to get married, I asked people everywhere and found her a solid family, and she lived a peaceful and beautiful life. But now my thing ......... I don't know if she will be implicated. ”
In the dark, there was still a wall made of loess, and Lao Ying couldn't see the man's face, but he felt that the man should sigh softly.
A very light breath.
"You're a good father, and I used to have a father as good as you."
These words, you should not be stupid, this is a word in the word, and the people who came to the edict have some stories. He was about to say something, but the dead silence suddenly sounded.
The sound of footsteps, the clashing of things, the dull sound of keys falling on the ground......
"Hurry up! Don't sleep! Someone is visiting! ”
"Where's the booklet? Where did you put it? ”
"Clean up a clean place!"
………………
It's a big guy coming, who will visit late at night? Lao Ying stood up with his hands on his hands, he sat cross-legged for a long time, his legs were inevitably a little numb, and he staggered to the door, looking at the aisle through the iron railing.
In the deep tunnels of the prison is the sound of the jailers' activities. After all, it's a heavy place, and they're not used to sneaking and tricking, but in the dead of night, they can't help but take a nap. At the moment, it was all running, and there was a commotion.
In a short time, several jailers hurried from the place where they were on duty, and skipped many places, but stopped near him.
Lao Ying was a little panicked. He sold official salt and was found and imprisoned, but he shouldn't be shocked by such a battle and was interrogated late at night, right?
"Come out quickly!" The jailer dressed in soap and black opened the cell door with a "bang", but ——— was not Lao Ying.
The next cell door was opened, and what appeared to be the sound of shackles crashing on the ground, and the sound of straw rubbing against the corners of clothes. The jailer lifted a man from the left and the right.
The white prison clothes have become a little dirty, and the hair has not been taken care of, but it can be seen that the hair is of good quality, and it is still soft on the sides of the shoulders, and the eyes are calm and waveless, like an ancient well, as if even if you hit it with a stone, there will be no waves.
The man was very thin, the same prison clothes, the old man should be dressed a little tightly, and his body was indeed sunken.
For a long time, there was such a person who lived beside him. Lao Ying was a little surprised, he always thought that the people living next door should be in good spirits, after all, in prison, with only a small bars on the side, there are people who are in the mood to tease pigeons, they should ...... Big heart?
He didn't know how to describe the man.
The man was rudely pulled by the jailer, dragged forward, turned his head as he walked, pulled out a smile at Lao Ying, who was in a daze by the cell, and blinked his eyes, his ancient well-like eyes suddenly took on a little cunning, shiny, I don't know if it was the light reflected by the torch:
"Your daughter will be fine, trust me."
This is where the arraignment takes place.
All sorts of iron torture instruments hung on the walls, some large ones were thrown into the corners, and there seemed to be years of blood on the ground that had not been scrubbed clean. The man was dragged all the way here by the jailers, and the people in soapy blue clothes stood inside, like the henchmen next to the bull head and horse noodles in the underworld.
Naturally, there is no impermanence next to the bull head and horse face.
Bai Impermanence sits in the center of the soapy blue figure.
In front of him were chestnut cakes, small crispy pork, and a few other fried dishes, which were placed on the plate of white jade. Placed together on the rough wood table, the fragrance is permeated, and it is very incompatible with the cold surrounding environment.
"It's Wangxian Lou's handiwork," the man looked at the dishes and showed joy on his face, and walked forward quickly without caring about the shackles under his feet, like a hungry tiger pounced, "Pei Gongzi is atmospheric!" ”
But before he had time to take a few steps, he was soon grabbed by the jailer who escorted him, pulled him back, and felt pain with a "hiss", so he had to stand honestly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Pei Gongzi, why are you still like this?" Are these delicacies not allowed to be eaten? ”
Pei Jingru sat quietly on the rosewood chair he brought, deaf to the ear. The guard standing behind him beckoned, and the jailer let go of the clamp.
Shen Wei showed his tiger teeth, smiled brightly, unceremoniously lifted his robe, sat down on the chair opposite Pei Jingru, picked up the ebony chopsticks on the table and stuffed the food into his mouth, stuffed too much for a while, and his speech was a little vague: "If you really know the pine and cypress in the cold, you can see the truth in adversity!" I, Shen, made friends with so many people before, and all called me Brother Shen and Brother Shen all day long, but now I am in trouble, but only Pei Gongzi is willing to come to see me. ”
Pei Jingru still didn't speak.
He hadn't eaten such a good dish for a long time, Shen Wei was a little anxious to eat, and it seemed that he had a little stalk, so he raised his hand to get the pot of wine and poured it out to moisten his throat. But the hand suddenly lost its strength, and the celadon flask toppled to one side, and it was about to fall to the ground. Pei Jingru held the wine jug, his fingertips were slightly cold, and he inadvertently saw the red marks on Shen Wei's hands.
The flask steadied, Shen Wei retracted his hand, and retracted his wrist into the wide prison uniform. Raise a glass, wine entrance, mellow bamboo leaf green.
After taking a sip, Shen Wei's face was full of content, half collapsed on the chair, and touched his belly: "The wine is a thousand cups of confidants, and this wine is very good." Thank you very much. Pei Gongzi came to visit Zai Xia late at night, and Zai Xia was very grateful. Everything is fine here, but the little old man next door always sighs because he misses his daughter, and the noise makes me uneasy, and I am annoyed that Pei Gongzi can solve it easily. ”
He spoke casually, in a brisk tone, not as if he was begging for someone, like a real rich boy chatting with each other. The soap-blue clothed attendant's face was still silent, and the gaze under his eyes looked at the white-clothed boy intentionally or unintentionally
"His matter has been settled," after a long time, Pei Jingru finally spoke, looking at Shen Wei, who was pouring himself a drink again because he couldn't wait to get home, his expression was calm, "His daughter is the concubine of the third prince of Lu." ”
Shen Wei's movements in his hands paused.
Pei Jingru continued: "The Holy Lord has ordered the restoration of the Lu family's title. The people below will not be unaware. ”
The candlelight in the room danced, reflecting the silent faces of the room. Shen Wei's pupils flashed with a hint of clarity, poured the wine in his hand, drank it all, and then threw the wine glass on the ground, and the celadon shattered.
Shen Wei looked up at him directly:
"Pei, Jing, Ru, are you teasing me?"
The guards beside the white-clothed boy secretly clenched the sword in his hand. To call a dainyo is to be disrespectful.
There was no displeasure on the face of the man in white, he stretched out his hand, picked up the wine jug that Shen Wei had just drunk, and pursed his lips at the place where Shen Wei poured the wine before, and put the liquor into his throat.
He put down the wine jug and looked at the angry Shen Wei in front of him, with a little smile in his eyes:
"Ah, you misunderstood me."
"I just wanted to teach you something more, like before."
He stood up, his white robe sweeping the ground, stained with dirt. Pei Jingru didn't care, he walked around behind Shen Wei, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked Shen Wei's hair, his hand was gentle, but his fingertips were cold.
Shen Wei felt as if he was shrouded in an invisible black shadow, and he wanted to resist, but before he could stop him, Pei Jingru suddenly grabbed a handful of his hair.
His head was pulled back and hit the back of his chair. After a long time without good food supplements, tonight's gluttony did not give him strength except to make his stomach more uncomfortable.
Shen Wei's head was a little dizzy, and he collapsed on the chair, without any strength.
He felt that the strand of his hair was circling and playing with Pei Jingru's fingertips, and it was entangled with Pei Jingru's own hair, like a child's game of turning the flower rope.
Pei Jingru's hand slowly touched Shen Wei's neck, his breath was very close to Shen Wei, and the voice with the smell of wine sounded in Shen Wei's ears:
"Ah, you're a smart man. You understand many things as soon as you teach them, why do you have to tell me so many times in this matter? ”
"The family, the poor family, the good family, and the commoners are born together. The family was originally born from the commoners, and the commoners were attached to the family. ”
Pei Jingru hovered around Shen Wei's neck with one hand, slowly rubbing his fair skin, and with the other hand, he took out a blood-stained handkerchief from his sleeve and threw it on the wooden table.
Shen Wei heard his breathing get heavier.
"Ah Yu is very well-behaved at other times, but at this time, he really looks like a disobedient dog."
The handkerchief on the wooden table is made of rough linen cloth. The pattern is familiar to him. After being stunned for a long time, Shen Wei wanted to lean over and reach out to take it, but Pei Jingru grabbed the shackles on his hand and slammed it on the back of the chair again, only to feel dizzy for a while.
He heard Pei Jingru smile lowly: "I'm reluctant to beat my own dog, other families will naturally have to pay the price." “
