Chapter 21: The Scourge of Prison
In prison.
Dark and damp, with a dull vision.
It's filled with a heart-wrenching smell.
This is especially true for monastics.
In the middle of the cell, in the corner.
Su Ting sat in the corner and touched his cheek, his face was strange.
"This bastard, he doesn't play cards according to the routine. β
At that time, after he woke up, he felt that Wang Gongzi's didn't seem to have a back hand, maybe he didn't plan to pay attention to him, Su Ting felt bored, and was about to get up and go home, but he didn't expect to face him head-on, and directly pressed him down.
It was also Su Ting who had no intention of resisting, so he was arrested, taken down by the other party, and sent to prison, waiting for arraignment.
And the crime of imprisonment is stealing jade pendants.
In fact, throughout the ages, the treasure of jade is mostly a status symbol, highlighting the extraordinary.
For ordinary people, gold is more precious, and as for jade, for ordinary people, it is not as good as gold.
Su Ting had already guessed that this jade pendant must be the back hand of Wang Gongzi, but he didn't expect that he actually used the power of the government and used the jade pendant as a guide to put him in prison.
But this is fine, tonight's events can be cleared of suspicion.
......
To Su Ting's surprise, on this evening, Wang Gongzi actually came to visit the prison.
"Tut-tut, little brother Su, I took you as a confidant, why did you steal things?"
Wang Gongzi came to the front, shook his head slightly, and sighed slightly.
Su Ting looked at him quietly, slightly surprised.
I thought that after this incident, Wang Gongzi would ignore him, but I didn't think that this Wang Gongzi would still be able to come to see him in prison.
As for the reason for seeing him, Su Ting naturally knew that it was not to ask for warmth, but to show off his might and show off his own "clever plan".
"It's really a surprise to Ben Gongzi. β
Wang Gongzi raised his eyebrows and said, "Looking at your face, you are very unkind to me, and you seem to have enlightenment?"
Su Ting spread his hands and said, "Thank you for what you have given." β
Wang Gongzi laughed and said: "I thought you were naΓ―ve to the extreme, I came this time, you will cry bitterly, tell me that you are wronged, let me clarify for you, let me confirm to you, this jade pendant was not stolen by you, but given by me." I didn't expect you to become a little smarter. β
Su Ting sighed and said, "I've always been smart. β
Wang Gongzi couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "It's also smart, but it's a pity that it's not as good as this son." β
Saying that, he knocked on the cell and said leisurely: "Actually, this son used the small skill of carving insects this time, if you are really determined, I am afraid that after you fall into the scheme, you will be grateful to me and entrust your sister to me, but this son is too lazy to deal with you." β
Hearing that his sister was involved, Su Ting's eyes showed a cold color, and his face turned cold.
"Tsk, you seem to be very angry?"
Wang Gongzi smiled: "But it's okay, I thought that my uncle's news was urgent, and let me do it to you early, so I could only dispel the idea of approaching your sister." But just now it occurred to me that it is not for nothing to invite you to drink these days. β
"Now that you have stolen the Sun family's things and gone to prison, when the news comes, your sister must be extremely worried. β
"And these days, you and I are close, and it has spread all over Luoyue County, and I think your sister knows about it. β
He touched his cheek and said, "My friend is in prison, and I, as a friend, am heartbroken, go to your home to condole, talk to your sister, comfort me, and think that it is not difficult to make her fall in love with me by the means of my son." β
Su Ting looked strange, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.
This bastard is narcissistic to the extreme, conceited to the extreme.
Think of my sister, who is smart and has a heart like a mirror, will you not be able to see that you are a scheming bastard?
"Near your home, it is Brother Zhao who patrols the night, that is, he will take you down. β
Wang Gongzi waved his hand and said with a smile: "I will give an explanation, let him open one eye and close one eye to the movements in your home." β
Su Ting's eyes were slightly condensed, and he was awe-inspiring.
Wang Gongzi seemed to be even happier.
He came this time to see this young man, and to find out the anger after being teased, so that he could be happier in his heart and have more pleasure in succeeding in his scheme.
"You're in this prison, waiting to be dealt with. β
Wang Gongzi waved his hand and turned to leave.
Su Ting looked at his back, his expression gradually calmed down, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.
Wang Gongzi came here to see his down-and-out appearance and satisfied the pleasure in his heart.
As everyone knows, Su Ting looked at his arrogant appearance, more like looking at a dying person running towards a cliff.
After a while, Su Ting exhaled, touched his smooth chin, and whispered: "Wang family boy, you still don't know what kind of character Su Xiaoye you provoked. β
......
Prison doors.
The head catcher, Yuan Jue, counted the roster, made a quick handover with Zhao Zhu, and was about to leave.
However, at this moment, he stared at the prince over there like the stars holding the moon, and he was laughing and leaving.
"How can you be so happy that your friend is in prison?"
Yuan Jue shook his head slightly, and said: "This Su Ting, not long after he became friends, but this happened, if there is nothing strange in it, Yuan doesn't believe it." β
Zhao Wo said with a dry smile: "Brother Yuan's words are not unreasonable, it's just that you also saw the things at that time, and their affairs can be regarded as your and my wishes." As for the theft, there are all human and material evidence, and it has nothing to do with Wang Gongzi......"
Yuan Jue waved his hand and said, "Got it." β
As he spoke, he glanced at the prison and said, "The kid of the Su family is still younger, otherwise he should know that he has nothing to do, and he is either a traitor or a thief." This man surnamed Wang has never had a relationship with him in the past, and he got close to him for no reason, and invited him to drink and tea, how could he not have any intentions?"
Hearing this, Zhao Wo somehow, thinking of the fact that he invited the head catcher in front of him to drink, he couldn't help but feel a little weak, and immediately smiled and responded twice.
"Young people have shallow experience, and it's not a bad thing to suffer a loss. β
Yuan Qi said: "That's it, let's not talk about this matter, I'll go and report to Lord Fang about the past few days, you can take care of it, you have to patrol the night tonight and rest a lot." β
Zhao Wo nodded, thinking of what Wang Gongzi explained tonight, thinking of the ten taels of silver that was about to arrive, and his heart was hot.
......
County office.
Yuan Jue came to see the county magistrate and reported on today's events.
Lord Fang smiled and said: "You, you, report every day, you are more dutiful than me, no wonder the previous lord was so annoyed by you that he was transferred away." β
Yuan Jue's face was resolute, and when he heard this, he showed a stiff smile, and said, "Only adults can be so conscientious and listen to my trivial matters." β
Fang Qing laughed twice, lowered his head, looked through the roster, and said, "There are a lot of things today. β
Yuan Jue nodded and said: "Luoyue County is not small, and there are a lot of big and small things every day. The first half of the page is more important, and the case in the back doesn't matter whether you look at it or not, adults are at will. β
Fang Qing nodded, swept the first half of the page, nodded slightly, and said, "You do things, I don't worry, you can handle these things yourself." β
As he spoke, he was about to close it, when suddenly he saw a name at the end of the page.
This name made Lord Fang stunned.
"Su Ting?"
