Chapter 234: The Great Prison
The next morning, Jian Qu woke up and felt a splitting headache, and when he looked down and smelled it, there was a smell of wine, which made him frown.
It's not that the clothes are stained, obviously someone has changed into clean clothes, but this is the only thing that can be done, and the smell of alcohol from the inside can only be washed after you wake up.
Rubbing his forehead, he got off the couch, although he was in a strange place, Jian Qu had already remembered that he was depressed yesterday and drunk at Su Zi's place, he trusted Su Zi's character very much, and was slightly surprised, so there was only some shame left for causing trouble to others.
As soon as he went out, he saw a young man carrying a basket of hot food coming in through the door, and when he saw him wandering out, he beckoned him to wash up in the place where the water had been put in.
"Mr. Fang, who stayed overnight here, has just left, why don't you wait for Mr. Lu to come back?" The young man who claimed to have been temporarily hired by Mr. Lu told him to put down his things and leave.
Jian Qu smiled bitterly, although he was still not in a good mood, he still managed to clean his face, washed up again, forced himself to eat something, and sat in the courtyard, looking at the sky in the distance, motionless.
I don't know how long it took, there were footsteps outside the door, someone came in, and Jian Qu looked up: "Brother Su Xian?"
"Brother Jian is awake?" Su Ziji walked slowly and asked, "Do you have anything else to do now?"
Seeing that Jian Qu was still a little unconscious, he reminded: "No, just follow me to the prison of the Criminal Department and meet the person you want to meet." ”
Jian Qu's head, which was still a little painful, immediately sobered up, and he stood up directly: "I can leave immediately!"
When I got out of this courtyard, I got into an ox cart with Su Ziji, and thanked Su Ziji again: "This time, thank you Brother Su Xian for running for me!"
"It's a little thing, it's not enough to worry about. Su Ziji smiled faintly.
Jian Qu knew that even if this matter was not difficult for Su Ziji, he was definitely moved, and he had nothing to repay now, so he could only find a chance to repay him in the future.
When I arrived at the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, there was a continuous wall, and there were people patrolling with knives, and only when I got off the ox cart, I saw a few passers-by surrounding a list, whispering, and pointing.
Su Ziji felt something, looked towards the past, and only glanced at it, and saw that the image painted on the list was Qian Zhidong.
Written below is the name, place of origin, the name of the crime committed, and the date of the beheading, which will be three days later.
Seeing Jian Qu looking at the side, his face was pale, and Su Ziji whispered: "It just so happens that I came here this time, it can be regarded as a farewell, you wait here, I will go buy some wine and meat." ”
patted his shoulders and went alone to a wine shop a few hundred meters away.
This wine shop is not large-scale, the wine is strong, there are only a few signature dishes, all of which are sauce meat, Su Ziji asked for a jar of wine, and pointed to a few kinds of sauce meat and asked for two catties each, and went back with both hands.
Jian Qu walked over and took all the things into his hands, and Su Ziji was not polite, and walked towards the gate of the Criminal Department Prison empty-handed.
"Who, the prison of the Criminal Department, is not allowed to trespass. ”
It was morning, and a prison officer with a few jailers was patrolling and guarding, and when he saw someone coming, he looked up and down.
Su Ziji didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the token given by Zhao Gonggong.
The prison officer of the Imperial City suddenly shook his head, stood up directly, and looked carefully: "Yo, you are Su Huiyuan?
He beckoned a prison officer, whispered a few words, and asked him to stay here, while he personally took Su Ziji and Jian Qu inside.
At this time, another prison officer swayed over, his face was full of flesh and oil, and he saw his back from a distance, stood still, and asked his colleagues who stayed behind: "So early, someone has come to visit the prison?"
The prison officer who stayed behind said, "Yes, come to find out the money building." ”
"Qian Zhidong?"
The prison officer with a meaty face was like a cat that suddenly found a mouse, leaned over, his eyes were focused, and he heard his colleagues still saying: "I'm afraid you can't think of anyone visiting the prison, this year's new cage Huiyuan, hey, I didn't see it with my own eyes, I don't believe it, someone is so young and promising." ”
"It looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is already Huiyuan. ”
"Huiyuan, I'm afraid that I have a lot of money, and I also care about my reputation. The meaty-faced prison officer was eager to try, wondering if it would be a bit of blackmail for a while.
After all, this has something to do with Qian Zhidong, and a Huiyuan doesn't want his reputation to be damaged, so he can only obediently take out the money to plug these people's mouths.
The original left-behind colleague turned around and saw it, but he didn't know what he thought, and he was speechless: "Don't toss around, this Huiyuan is not small, and you came to visit the prison with the token of the Great Inner Imperial City Division Baihu, you provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked, and no one can save you." ”
"The token of the Imperial City Division's hundred households? Then forget it, if you have a life to take money, you have no life to spend it. Shaking his head, the already greedy prison officer extinguished his thoughts.
Besides, Su Ziji and Jian Qu were in a big prison with a prison officer, the cell was very dark, and the ground was all made of bluestone to prevent anyone from digging holes.
The wall is made of thick bricks, there is a passage in the middle, and the two sides are separated by wooden grilles into rooms of different sizes, and when you enter the door, the first feeling is that it smells, which is the smell of the toilet bowl between the various numbers.
Not only that, but there is also the smell of blood, it is the prisoner who has used torture, from the cell of ordinary prisoners to the cell of the felon, all the way, it is like walking through hell on earth, the screams continue to sound, and finally arrive at the single room of Qian Zhidong.
"Su Huiyuan, this is Qian Zhidong's cell, the villain will open the cell door for you?" glanced at the wine and meat that Jian Qu was carrying, knowing that this was not a mocking person, and came to see him off, the prison officer said very considerately.
Su Ziji nodded, and the prison officer took out the key, unlocked the big lock of the cell, and gave the three of them space, and he went outside.
Su Ziji's eyes fell on the person who was sitting on the straw mat in the fence, and saw that Qian Zhidong was depressed, his hair and beard were a little messy, and his expression was as usual, but his eyes were gloomy, and his face looked blue in the weak light, so he knew that this person was afraid that his life would not be long in coming, but he was not in a hurry.
"Let's go inside. Seeing that Jian Qu was a little hesitant, Su Ziji reminded him, and his expression came in calmly.
"I didn't expect that it was the two of you who came to see me off. Qian Zhidong's gaze swept over Jian Qu's face, and then fell on the wine and meat in his hand, and laughed: "Wine and meat?
"Put the wine and meat on the table. Su Ziji reminded the stunned Jian Qu again.
Jian Qu finally came to his senses this time, swallowed his saliva, and put the wine and food on the ground, a jar of spirits, and a few packets of sauce and meat wrapped in several layers of oil paper.
Qian Zhidong was not polite, he directly opened the wine jar, raised it to his mouth, and drank a few big sips before putting it down and laughing again.
"Happy!"
Su Ziji lifted his robe, sat on the ground, and looked at Qian Zhidong: "I have done what you explained, you can go with peace of mind." ”
Qian Zhidong didn't care about eating wine and meat, but the breath on his body was dimmed because of Su Ziji's words.
