Chapter 47: Roast Chicken
Li Zhengyi felt that he would get tired after talking too much for the first time.
I found a relatively dry place, lay on the grass and changed into a more comfortable position, ready to take a quiet nap.
But the word "stability" is a little difficult to find in him now.
"If someone visits the prison, be honest!"
Accompanied by the shouting of the jailer, there was no sound in the already quiet cell, and after a while, I saw a person led by the jailer to the outside of Li Zhengyi's cell.
"Wuda, Second Brother Li, are the two of you okay?"
"Uncle He Jiu, why are you here again?"
The person who came was Uncle He Jiu, Wu Dalang immediately went to the door of the cell, looked at the other party and asked with some excitement, "But my brother is back?" ”
Although I knew that it was unlikely, I couldn't stop my extravagant hopes, and sure enough, the answer I got was no.
Li Zhengyi didn't laugh anymore, his face was a little complicated, not because Wu Song didn't come back.
It's because a few days ago, under the guidance of Uncle He Jiu, he came to visit this prison together, but he couldn't get out of this visit.
The other party is coming back now, and I don't know what it is for.
"Second Brother Li, I... I'm sorry. ”
Uncle He Jiu's expression was very guilty, looking at the dazzling word "robbery" on Li Zhengyi's forehead, and his current weak appearance, compared with a few days ago, it was simply heaven and earth.
No matter how you say it, you have made a mistake in finding someone, otherwise this Second Brother Li may still be happy outside.
"I didn't expect Lao Zhang to lie to me, in fact, he was also forced, don't blame him...... Alas..."
Li Zhengyi knew in his heart that the head of the thief was Ximenqing, even if Lao Zhang didn't follow his orders and lured himself in, there would be other Lao Wang and Lao Li and others instead.
But when it comes to forgiveness, he doesn't know if Lao Zhang was really forced or if he intended it. Even Uncle He Jiu in front of him, he couldn't see it clearly.
But now that he has fallen into such a field, the other party should have no reason to lie to him again. Thinking of this, Li Zhengyi's attitude towards Uncle He Jiu was gradually no longer so indifferent
"I don't know why Uncle He Jiu is here?"
Uncle He Jiu didn't answer first, but took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, passed it through the gap between the logs, and handed it in.
When Li Zhengyi opened it, he found that it was a fragrant roast chicken and a few white-flour steamed buns.
"Eat, let's talk about it when we're done."
The stomach is already rumbling, and there is nothing more important than this roast chicken at the moment.
So he tore off most of it, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and chewed it heavily.
Wu Dalang also saw that Uncle He Jiu was mainly here to visit Li Er, so he was not too greedy, took the remaining half, and also ate meat.
Li Zhengyi ate roast chicken, and did not snub those white-flour steamed buns, but stopped temporarily when he couldn't stuff them in his mouth.
"Snake, snake Xie, what ......"
Uncle He Jiu saw that he couldn't speak, so he hurriedly handed over a small pot of wine that was still hidden.
"Swallow carefully, take a sip of wine before eating."
Uncle He Jiu's kindness made Li Zhengyi very grateful, and there were not even a few bones left in the end of those wine and meat.
"Will Uncle He Jiu come again tomorrow?"
Although I knew that I wouldn't, I still asked knowingly, just because this roast chicken was so delicious.
After eating this roast chicken, those rancid rice are probably a little difficult to swallow.
"Well, I also begged Lao Zhang to sneak it in, in addition to visiting Second Brother Li, I also have some news to tell the two of you."
Knowing that business was coming, Li Zhengyi's expression became serious, and he listened carefully to Uncle He Jiu's next words.
"I've inquired clearly, and the official will send you on your way in three days."
"What?! They're going to kill me! ”
Wu Dalang suddenly shouted in fear, he couldn't believe the news, could it be that they were eating the severed head rice just now?
Li Zhengyi's face was also shocked, this was completely unexpected by him, and he originally thought that the worst would be to stay in this prison for more than ten days before returning to the main world.
At that time, even if the task is not completed and he is punished, he will admit it, who would have thought that he would really not be able to go back!
"It's not! It's not a headshot, it's an exile in a prison city! ”
Seeing Wu Da's panicked appearance, Uncle He Jiu hurriedly made his words clear, lest the two of them couldn't stand the blow for a while and did something they shouldn't do.
"Not a head-killing? Is it exile?! ”
Uncle He Jiu also took a big breath, and didn't dare to say it slowly, but directly told all the news to the two people in the cell.
"According to the information I inquired, Second Brother Li, you were convicted of robbery, and Wu Da was convicted of stealing."
"Because the golden hairpin is precious, you, like Second Brother Li, were sentenced to be assassinated and exiled for 2,000 miles to work as a coolie in the prison city of Mengzhou."
It's okay, it's okay, as long as you live, you have a chance.
When Li Zhengyi was crying out for luck in his heart, Wu Dalang showed bitterness on his face, thinking that this Li Er was okay, and he was only beginning to recover from his injuries now, but he would be exiled for 2,000 miles in three days.
I'm afraid that if I can't get to Mengzhou, I will die of illness on the way. Even if you arrive with a breath, how can that coolie be capable of ordinary people?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed Uncle He Jiu's sleeve and asked, "Uncle He Jiu knows how my wife is, quickly let her sell her property, and beg the county master to ......."
Considering that those people said that the county master had gone out, they changed their words again: "Go and ask for that...... Those people, let them forgive for some time. When my brothers come back, I will definitely thank them. ”
"Alas......"
Uncle He Jiu sighed after hearing Wu Dalang's request before saying, "Mrs. Pan is no longer in your house......
"Not there? So where did Jin Lian go? ”
Uncle He Jiu glanced at Li Zhengyi next to him and said, "The day after the second brother Li was imprisoned a few days ago, then Ximenqing went to your house......
"Huh?!"
Wu Dalang's originally pale face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he shouted: "Okay, that slut, I knew that she was an unstable person, but I didn't expect that as soon as Second Brother Li came in, she hooked up with that Ximenqing!" ”
After Li Zhengyi heard it, he also thought to himself, shouldn't it? Did you see the wrong person? I thought Pan Jinlian would never be like that again, but sure enough, she knew people and faces, but she didn't know her heart.
But how does Wu Dalang's words sound weird, what do you mean that as soon as she came in, Pan Jinlian hooked up with someone else.
"Wuda, why do you keep interrupting me, can't you wait for me to finish speaking?"
Uncle He Jiu didn't like this Wu Dalang's style very much, and when he encountered a little thing, he kept shouting, looking at the second brother of Li, how calm he was.
Even when he thought he was going to be beheaded, he was just pale, like this Wu Dalang.
But you have to say that you can't wronged others.
"Wuda, don't interrupt again, listen to me."
After breathing a sigh of relief, Uncle He Jiu continued: "Ximen Qing went to your house, but Mrs. Pan didn't know where to hide for a long time. ”
"That morning, Wang Po first came to the door, and then there was a disturbance, and Mrs. Pan never opened the door. When Ximenqing forcibly smashed open the door of your house later, the room was already empty, and Mrs. Pan didn't know where to hide. ”
Finally finished speaking, Uncle He Jiu took a long breath, it was strange and tiring to keep talking so many words when he was old.
Li Zhengyi thought in his heart that as he expected, Pan Jinlian had already lost her way, how could she easily follow others?
It's just that Wu Dalang sighed with a stunned expression: "Jin Lian, she ran away with my money?" ”
……
When Uncle He Jiu heard this, he immediately felt a little depressed, and he couldn't stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Li Zhengyi and left the prison directly.
