Chapter 268: Goodbye in Prison (2)
Xiao Mo's cold and pale little hands were tightly held in the palms of those warm and strong hands. This is the first time since they met that they have held hands so thoroughly.
"Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son." Xiao Mo also learned this "Book of Songs" from Shu Yan, and even made this oath indefinitely.
My sweetheart is close at hand, and I have been in love with my sweetheart for six years. Now, how she wanted to hold him tightly and fiercely with all her might, and just hold him all the time, never separated, even if she hugged him until death in this prison. She really didn't want to lose him......
However, she pulled her hand back with all her might. There should have been endless words to talk about until dawn, but the dry and trembling lips hurriedly burst out a few sentences and ended: "Brother Shu, I know the consequences of my lawsuit." Conspiracy against a felony, family sitting. You shouldn't, and you don't have the power to save me. It's not a pity for me to die, just because the two of us never met. God favors you and returns Sister Zhixin to you, I am really happy for you. As long as you can live a good life in peace and stability in the future, I will die blindly. ”
Every sentence is heartfelt, and every word is heartfelt.
"Nope." Shu Yan almost roared, "The two of us once swore an oath to live together and die together." No matter what the relationship between the two of us is, no matter what way I think, I will never watch you die like this! If I really can't save you, I don't want to live alone! ”
There were footsteps outside the prison, and a woman's voice said, "On the orders of Taishou, I came to heal Jiang Xiaomo's injuries." ”
Shu Yan turned his head and saw that there were two women, one holding a wooden box containing healing things, and the other holding a new set of clothes. He knew that He Hao had sent someone to treat Xiao Mo's injuries, and he couldn't delay, so he said to Xiao Mo hastily: "Tomorrow you will be escorted to Luoyang, I will accompany you all the way, don't worry." After saying that, he glanced at her with pity, and immediately turned around and went out.
The next day, Shu Yan waited outside the prison gate, and after a while, he saw He Hao also coming. Seeing Shu Yan, he seemed to feel guilty, "Shu Ling, I also act according to the law." Such prisoners, if they are not punished, cannot be accounted for by their superiors. Please also Shu Ling, don't be weird. ”
Of course Shu Yan knows. All the suspects who are involved in the major problems have not escaped a major punishment. This is the consistent practice of the Yamen, and it is also stipulated by the law, and this is especially true of such a crime of rebellion. Although he was so angry that he hit the top beam at that time, he had the urge to tear He Hao apart, but after a night of calmness, Shu Yan also changed. The yamen has always only been responsible for beating people, but not for healing. He Hao's performance yesterday should not only not be blamed, but should be thanked.
"He Taishou, I was rude yesterday, please forgive me."
"Where, where, as long as Shu Ling doesn't blame him."
"It's too late to thank you, how dare you blame!"
As he spoke, he saw a group of officers and soldiers walking with a prisoner car, and Shu Yan knew that he was about to leave for escort.
Who knew that He Hao had the intention of obstructing: "Is Shu Ling in such a hurry to leave?" ”
Shu Yan was inexplicable: "Did I do what I did?" It was He Taishou who said that he left today, why did he ask me? ”
"Actually, there is no strict deadline for this kind of thing. I mean, if Shu Ling is willing, he can leave two days later, after all, Zhen Ling's injury is not healed yet. He Hao smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Two days late?" Shu Yan was worried that Xiao Mo had a serious wound on his back, and it was a matter of great hope that he could delay it for two days, so without thinking, he immediately said, "Yes, yes, then let's leave three days later." ”
"Very good, very good." He Hao waved his hand and sent the prisoner cart away.
Shu Yan didn't know what He Hao meant, but it shouldn't be evil, so he smiled and thanked: "He Taishou's great kindness, Xiao Mo and I really can't repay it." ”
"How can you say that there is no reward?"
I thought that the other party would say something like "just a trivial matter, not enough to worry about". Who knew that He Hao would say such unreasonable words. Shu Yan looked at him with inexplicable eyes.
He Hao clenched his fists, piled up a smile and said: "There is a reluctant request below, if Shu Ling can help me ask for a delicacies, it should be regarded as repaying me." ”
"What requirements?"
He Hao sighed first and said: "My He family has countless wealth, and when I am in Luoyang, no matter what it is, there is nothing I can't eat." I thought I had enjoyed all the delicacies in the world, but I heard that there was a delicacies in the imperial court, and his cooking skills were unique, and he was known as a god chef. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were proud to eat the delicacies made by the delicacies. But Zhen Yuling was very arrogant, and never easily gave face to these princes. The prince is like this, and I am a flat-headed commoner, of course, I can't have extravagant hopes. Although it was difficult to get my wish, I have always had a delusion, and I have not completely dispelled it to this day. Who knows, isn't it providence that the divine chef of my dreams is actually in my prison! ”
Speaking of this, Shu Yan already understood what He Hao meant, "Didn't He Taishou want to taste Xiao Mo's cooking skills?" ”
"Exactly, exactly." He Hao nodded with a smile.
Although I feel that it is out of place, I always owe people family favors, and it is difficult to refute. "I can't make decisions about this, but I don't think Xiao Mo will refuse. Wait for me to tell her that in the next three days, her injuries will be healed, and let her make you a few dishes to fulfill your wish. ”
"Really? That's great. He Hao was overjoyed. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and after this village, there is no such shop. How many dishes are enough? He ordered the cooks to prepare all the good ingredients they could find, and they had to enjoy them all.
Xiao Mo was physically and mentally exhausted at this time, how could he be in the mood to cook? But as long as a person has a way to live, he must persevere. Under Shu Yan's persuasion, she still agreed.
Years of dreaming have finally come true. He Hao tasted Xiao Mo's cooking skills, and was even happier than being promoted to his own official.
On the fourth day, Shu Yan saw that the escort team and the prisoner car were already waiting here. He Hao came to see him off in person.
Shu Yan recalled meeting Jiang Liu's group of prisoner cars: a large wooden cage with people handcuffed and shackled, neck shackles and heavy shackles, and people half-curled up on hardwood boards covered with dirty straw. The pain of bumps, the tiredness of curling up in the body, although it is a car, it is a hundred times more uncomfortable than walking. Maybe it was because those people did a lot of evil, Shu Yan didn't think it shouldn't be at all. But the same prisoner car, thinking of pretending to be Xiao Mo, is unimaginable. What's more, the more serious stick sore on Xiao Mo's back is still bruised and oozing pus and blood, if it has been semi-stiff in the prison car, it is likely to cause ulceration.
"He Taishou, I also have a reluctant request, Xiao Mo her...... Can you not take this prisoner's car? Shu Yan felt unrighteous when he said this.
"Don't take a prison car? So what to sit on? ”
"Horseback riding, she's good at horseback riding."
He Hao didn't squirt out a mouthful of old blood, and secretly nagged in his heart: Riding a horse is also bumpy, you didn't say that I would get her a car!
"Shu Ling, I admire you as a person. If it is within my purview, I will definitely help. But this joke of yours is so big, I don't dare to obey it. ”
"Well, it's too much. But what you want is to send Jiang Xiaomo to Luoyang without any mistakes, she sits in the prison car and sits outside the prison car, isn't the result the same? ”
"The result is the same, the nature is different, and I can't afford to be known by the court."
"Does anyone have to be in the car?"
"Definitely, otherwise what's the matter with escorting an empty prisoner car? Even passers-by can't hide their eyes. ”
"Shall I sit in for her?"
"You take her place?" Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Without waiting for He Hao to disagree, the official leader in charge of the escort spoke first: "Tai Shouwan can't agree to this request!" Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to take it. ”
"Yes, indeed. I'm obviously escorting a female prisoner, aren't you kidding when a big man sits inside? He Hao also took the opportunity to refuse.
"What's this, I'll swap outfits with her. It's supposed to work, right? ”
Of course, He Hao still couldn't agree: "This matter is not trivial. She's a serious offender in the court! If I can't get it, I'm going to lose my head! ”
Shu Yan smiled faintly: "Just to satisfy his appetite, he privately released the court prisoners out of prison to cook food for himself, this crime should not be light, right?" ”
Just this gentle sentence made He Hao gasp. When these words came out of Shu Yan's mouth, they were clearly threatening! He wondered if Shu Yan's request to taste Xiao Mo's cooking was premeditated when he agreed so easily. Hey, it's all gluttony. However, if I taste the cooking skills of the god chef, I have no regrets and no regrets.
Thinking of this, He Hao changed his attitude and said to the official leader in charge of escorting: "I know Shu Ling's personality, just let him be, there will be no mistakes, you can rest assured." ”
The leader was still a little hesitant: "Of course I'm not worried about Shu Ling being imprisoned, what I'm worried about is that Jiang Xiaomo is riding a fast horse, what if she runs away?" ”
"You don't have to worry about that. The two of them value each other more than their own. Otherwise, why would there be this today? Don't worry, if there is anything going on, I will bear it for you. ”
With the boss as a guarantee, of course, there is nothing to worry about.
At that moment, He Taishou found the largest women's clothes, and Shu Yan wore them, but they were still very tight.
Xiao Mo was brought out wearing a small official clothes, she already knew what was going on, and said in a Qi voice: "Brother Shu, why are you doing this?" Whoever sits in this prisoner cart will not feel good, and it is not the same as you sit in me? ”
Shu Yan deliberately looked indifferent: "The road is far away, not to mention that you are injured and can't stand it." With my body and bones, this little suffering is nothing. ”
Then regardless of whether Xiao Motong disagreed or not, he directly helped her on the horse. Then he said goodbye to He Hao, and he got into the prisoner car and headed for Luoyang.
Some people died, but not completely......
