On the fifth day of the ninth month, on the third day after Shen Xi returned home from the Shuntian Mansion, he rushed to the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions early in the morning, and this time he went to visit the prison of the Criminal Department. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a day's investigation yesterday, Shen Xi basically figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

Things are worse than he imagined, Hui Niang wants to escape, it is very difficult, even to save her life, let alone get out of the cell safely.

There were many businessmen who were imprisoned this time, and Shen Xi spent five taels of silver to get the right to visit, and he secretly prayed in his heart that nothing would happen to Hui Niang.

Although Hui Niang's cell is located on the ground, the ventilation conditions are not good, and the prisons are connected to each other...... Most of the prisoners are women, but there are still male prisoners awaiting sentencing for lesser crimes in the outer areas.

In ancient times, there were no female jailers, and most of the female prisoners were taken care of by the three aunts and six women who were related to the government officials.

Fortunately, Hui Niang was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and if she was replaced by an ordinary state and county government, the unspoken rules in the cell abounded, and it was almost impossible for female prisoners to enter the cell without being bullied and insulted.

As for Hui Niang's crimes of "Tongfan", "bribery", and "illegal trafficking of official food", if all three are confirmed, not only will she die, but even her daughter Lu Xi'er will not be spared. Fortunately, the crime currently being investigated is only "bribery", and because she was caught red-handed, even Shen Xi couldn't help her get rid of it.

"Lord Shen, you don't often come to such places, forgive me, this autumn is not bad, if you come here in the middle of summer...... Tsk, this cell is so wet and damp that it's like being in a steamer, and I don't dare let you in. ”

The cell boss knew that this Lord Shen was a speaker of the East Palace from Hanlin, and he could contact the emperor and the crown prince, and he admired him very much. As the head of the prison of the Criminal Department, he eats the hereditary iron rice bowl, and has great respect for the scholars, but their children and grandchildren are not qualified to participate in the imperial examination, so they can only pass on the bowl of rice from generation to generation.

Shen Xi asked, "What about the Lu Sun Clan, how are you doing?" ”

"The woman...... It's really not good to get in, but who told her that she was caught paying bribes? The guard is very tight, please rest assured Lord Shen, no one dares to touch her...... Who doesn't know she's a scourge? Just wait for the final verdict of the Criminal Department. Lord Shen, please come here. ”

While the cell boss was talking, he led Shen Xi to the inner position of the cell, and there was a little girl crying in the fence on the right side of the alley entrance, it turned out that her mother was seriously ill and dying, and the Ya Po sitting at the entrance of the alley was not in the mood to care about the life and death of the prisoners, she only knew that she took care of the prisoners, as long as the people did not escape from the cell, they were safe. During the shift, if any of the prisoners' family members came to deliver things, she would be able to make a lot of money and go home.

"Po Liu, it's none of your business here...... This is Lord Shen. The cell boss went over and snorted.

"Is it a person who is called an adult, it seems...... It's like a little doll, bullying the old woman and can't be dazzled? Liu Po was not polite at all, looked at Shen Xi and said.

The old man said angrily: "A few days ago, you said that your son just gave birth to a big fat grandson for you, and I pray that your grandson will shine on the lintel like Shen Zhuangyuan." Now that Shen Zhuangyuan is standing in front of you, how can you say that...... You don't know Taishan with eyes! ”

When Liu Po heard that the young man in front of her was the famous "Shen Zhuangyuan" in Beijing, she subconsciously looked at Shen Xi for a while, and then woke up like a dream, and hurriedly wiped her black hand on her clothes after eating melon seeds, and was about to come over to arrest Shen Xi, but was stopped by the cell boss.

"What? The nobles are even the ones you can touch? Get lost! The cell boss rebuked.

"Okay, okay."

Liu Po was very happy and let her go, but she didn't go far, and stayed around the corner and looked at Shen Xi with a smile, as if she was choosing a son-in-law for her daughter.

Shen Xi followed the cell boss to the end of the alley, only to see that in the corner of the cell on the right next to the skylight, Hui Niang was sitting in the straw pile, and when she saw someone coming, she immediately stood up and shouted: "My lord, I am wronged!" ”

"Don't shout, you are still wronged, other people's sins may be implicated, but your sin is confirmed." The cell boss said, beckoning Shen Xi to come over, but he didn't even open the cell door, just whispered: "Lord Shen, there is not much time, you should be leisurely, if Shangguan knows, it will be difficult for us to explain the miscellaneous things...... At most, you will be given a stick of incense. ”

Shen Xi handed over the silver that had been prepared, and the cell boss walked away with a thousand thanks.

The cell boss knew each other, and knew that the people who visited the prison had private things to say, and they didn't want to be known, and if they had money, they obediently went outside and waited.

"That is really Shen Zhuangyuan......"

You can hear Liu Po's questioning from afar.

"Don't talk nonsense, come out with me...... Well, it's your tea money. The old man casually threw away a few eldest sons and sent Liu Po away.

Shen Xi turned his head and saw Hui Niang's haggard face, and felt sad for a while.

At this time, Hui Niang was dressed in prison clothes, although it was a little dirty, but it looked very neat...... has a pretty face facing the sky, and there is no trace of filth on it, which shows that she is a person who cherishes face.

Seeing Shen Xi, Hui Niang sobbed and lowered her head, not even daring to look at Shen Xi.

"Lord Shen, the woman has asked you to say goodbye." As she spoke, Hui Niang kowtowed to Shen Xi and saluted.

Across a prison door, Shen Xi wanted to reach out to help, but he couldn't reach it, he was a little annoyed in his heart, and at this time, Hui Niang still came to this annoying courtesy.

"Get up!"

Shen Xi shouted angrily, not only Hui Niang's body was for a while, but even the little girl who was crying in the cell next to her was also frightened, and suddenly stopped moving.

Hui Niang was so frightened that she trembled, and finally stood up, glanced up at Shen Xi, and then lowered her head again.

Shen Xi said angrily: "Sun Huiniang, you are really good at tossing people, telling you again and again that some businesses are untouchable, and you have to stay away from officialdom. Now that you are in prison, you are reaping the consequences! What's the matter, it's happy? Happy? ”

Shen Xi's voice was full of emotion, he turned his concern into a scolding, wanting to make Hui Niang sober up, but he knew that now that things had happened, it would be useless.

"Adult ......"

Hui Niang's face was full of self-blame at this time, and she couldn't cry anymore.

When others scold her, she won't be convinced, but it was Shen Xi who scolded her, the person who picked her up with one hand, in her opinion, it was Shen Xi who gave up her, so she would try her best to prove herself. But without Shen Xi's advice, she finally felt the pain of falling to the bottom, and finally felt remorse for her past willfulness.

Shen Xi's tone calmed down a little, but he still gasped and said: "This time, the Criminal Department took people, it was from the instructions of the Shouning Hou Mansion, who is the Shouning Hou...... As you must know, it's a jackal that can't be fed at all. This time, there are also the vast majority of businessmen with foreign household registration in the capital...... In fact, from the very beginning, the right to release the official food was a bait, specially designed to lure you into the bait! ”

Hui Niang's eyes were closed, tears kept pouring out, she cried and begged: "My lord, the women don't want to get out, they just want the adults to take care of ...... Xi'er, the woman died without regrets! ”

"Sun Huiniang, let me tell you, you can't die!"

Shen Xi gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Your life is mine, I let you die before you can die." I order you now, just wait here with peace of mind, it's better to die than to live, even if I fight this official, I will let you come out safely! If you die, I'll throw your body into the river to feed the fish!" ”

Shen Xi's words were very vicious, Hui Niang didn't expect it, and when she pondered Shen Xi's words a little, she probably understood that Shen Xi was not harming her, but helping her.

Only when she is really in a desperate situation can she know who is good to her, she used to misunderstand that Shen Xi was going to part ways with her, but now Shen Xi also said the ruthless words, but she felt extremely warm after listening to it.

"You remember, if someone is arraigned in the middle, you will recruit whatever you ask, and you will draw a charge when you should draw a charge, don't force it...... Otherwise, you will suffer more. As for anything else, you don't have to think about it, I'll do everything I can to get you out. Shen Xi said, with a faint pain in his heart, "As for Xiaoya, you don't have to worry, I won't tell her about you for the time being." She's doing well in my house, you just have to take care of yourself!" ”

After Shen Xi said this, he finally emphasized again: "Sun Huiniang, if you die, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life, I will treat you as if I have never known you, even your daughter, I will drive her out and let her be a beggar!" ”

Shen Xi really didn't know what words could make Hui Niang understand that living is victory, and she must not be unable to think about it, and she must not be allowed to "sacrifice herself for others", because he knows that Hui Niang is afraid of affecting others, and the first step will be to think of suicide. If he leaves without saying anything at this time, it is likely that the front foot has just left, and the back foot person has found a short view.

"Did you hear that?" Shen Xi asked.

"Listen...... I heard ...... "Hui Niang still sobbed."

Shen Xi said: "I want you to swear, make the most ruthless poisonous oath!" ”

"Folk women...... If the women of the people kill themselves...... Thunder and thunder! "Hui Niang said this is obviously not sincere, everyone is dead, what are you afraid of thunder and thunder?

"Not enough!" Shen Xi said angrily.

Hui Niang had to continue aggrievedly: "The folk woman is a beast, and she will never be reincarnated, and her daughter ...... Don't die well, dead husband...... Don't be reincarnated! Woowoo woo ......"

When Hui Niang mentioned her deceased husband, Shen Xi's heart was stinging again, and he realized that there was always a dead person between himself and Hui Niang. But he wants to let Hui Niang live now, and he doesn't care about anything else.

I've never thought of having it, so why care who Hui Niang is worried about!

"Remember the oath you made."

After Shen Xi finished speaking, with a little sigh of regret for his misfortune, he withdrew ruthlessly, he didn't even want to look back at the pretty face that tortured his heart so much, this Hui Niang, it seems that she was born to cause trouble for him, and now she has finally poked a hole in the sky.

He could have left it alone, and when people died, he might have been able to be quieter, but that meant that all his years of hard work had been in vain.

Is it really necessary to completely lose it to make my heart ruthless and make me unkind to be a person who changes history?

When he got outside, the cell boss came over: "Lord Shen, is this the end?" ”

Shen Xi handed over another ingot of silver and said, "Take care of the Lu Sun family, she has a lot of industry behind her, if she has any accidents, this official will be very disappointed." ”

The cell boss was wondering why a dignified champion was so concerned about a widow who had died of her husband, and when Shen Xi talked about the industry behind Hui Niang, he suddenly understood, and thought: "No wonder Lord Shen is enthusiastic about this case, feelings are plotting the industry behind this woman." Such an unlucky woman, who meets it on weekdays, isn't that self-inflicted bad luck? ”

"Adults can rest assured, the small ones understand, and the small ones must have good wine and good food...... It was good tea and good food to entertain her, and then let Po Liu stare at her day and night, wanting to die...... Don't look whose land it is! ”

The cell boss said confidently.
