Chapter 22: Seeing the Light of Day Again

He complained bitterly in his heart, he didn't notice it at the beginning, and immediately defended himself: "The villain only found out that something was wrong yesterday, and he was about to report this matter to the Ming Mansion, I don't want the Ming Mansion to know about it, the villain should die, please punish the Ming Mansion!" ”

Hearing that the county order has a good face is famous, and the officials in the county government know it, fortunately, they are usually quite clear as officials, and there is nothing to do between superiors and subordinates.

Zhen Qian on the side glanced at the deceased, who didn't understand what this meant, and immediately said: "The family of the deceased is really cunning, obviously the deceased ate white fungus lotus seed and jujube soup after returning home, but he didn't explain it to the Ming Mansion, it is really hateful, and I hope the Ming Mansion will investigate it carefully!" ”

What Zhen Qian didn't know was that he had also taken the benefits of the deceased's family at the beginning, so he didn't investigate it carefully, and when he saw Zhen Gan come forward, he thought that the Zhen family wanted to help Song Yi come out, so how dare he go against the Zhen family, so he immediately turned the gun and sold the deceased's family.

When Wen Xian Ling heard that he didn't understand, he was furious and said, "Go!" Arrest the wives and concubines and slaves of the deceased's family, and the official will retry the case! ”

As soon as Zhen Qian saw that his goal had been achieved, staying would make Wen County Ling disgusted, at this time, Wen County Ling's heart wavered, whether to help Song Yi overturn the case, or to maintain the original verdict taking into account his own face, and Wen County Ling also knew that it was difficult for him to hide if he wanted to hide with Zhen Qian's participation in this matter, and Zhen Qian sent him steps at this time, which had a better impact on Zhen Qian.

Zhen Qian, who returned home, quietly waited for the news from the county office, and after two days, the county government actually sent someone to tell Zhen Qian that Song Yi's case had a new discovery, and it turned out that it was not the deceased who died of unintentional food poisoning, but the concubine of the deceased's family and the main room were not in harmony, the deceased was infatuated with a concubine in the family before his death, and wanted to leave the main room, and the main room was angry and gave the spoiled white fungus to the deceased to eat, and was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he lied that it was because the deceased was poisoned in Song Yi's restaurant.

The reason why Wen County Ling informed Zhen Qian of the case was that Zhen Qian thought about it was just a tactful expression of his apology, as for other things in the case, Zhen Qian didn't want to know, if Wen County Ling really wanted to get any results, what could he not get under Miki, Zhen Qian didn't believe that Wen County Ling was a good man and a woman.

In the county jail, an old man with a white beard looked at the light coming in from the iron window, his heart was desolate, his industry was gone, his wife and children were also affected, and the future was bleak.

The prisoner in the same room looked at the old man with a smile on his face, and said with a slight mockery in his mouth: "I said Song Yi, the verdict has come down, you just accept your fate, as the saying goes, a person dies with a big scar, and after twenty years, he is a man, and you are not a loss, I heard that the person who was poisoned by you has a group of wives and concubines and thousands of acres of land, what is there to complain about such a person dying in your hands!" ”

"Nonsense! I didn't kill that person, I didn't kill anyone! The old man who hid his face and cried bitterly was Song Yi, who heard the laughter of the other prisoners, and immediately jumped up, but unfortunately he was tortured by other prisoners in the cell these days, and he was already skinny and skinny, and he could fight with other prisoners there, and he was punched and kicked by several prisoners, and shrunk in the corner.

"You say you didn't kill anyone, but we still say that you were wronged?"

"Don't look at it, a few of the people in this prison say that they are not innocent, but in the end, the head should be cut off is not chopped, if you want me to say it, just accept your fate! Anyway, there are still a few months before the fall is over, so take advantage of this time to think about what is still undone......," one of the prisoners sympathized.

"Just your fucking heart! It can't be that you want to cheat him out of a little dead money! ”

"Haha......!"

There was a strange laugh in the cell, and some prisoners persuaded Song Yi to take out the money hidden in the house, buy off the cell boss in the cell before he died, and eat a few more send-off meals.

At this moment, the lock of the cell door was opened with a "bang", and someone shouted: "Song Yi, come out!" ”

Song Yi didn't know what was going on, but when he saw the cell boss appear at the door, his legs and feet were still trembling, and he didn't have the strength to stand up even if he wanted to. The prisoner on the side gloated: "Isn't it sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn?" Why do you have to pull out and cut off your head now, you don't even have a full meal, it seems that you will become a starving ghost and reincarnate in the next life! ”

The person who came was the old man in the cell, and he scolded loudly: "What nonsense, Song Yi! You've been acquitted, come with me! ”

"What, acquittal!" Song Yi couldn't believe his ears, although he had indeed not killed anyone, but he had already been sentenced, even if he was really wronged, he could only go to Lord Yama to redress his grievances.

The prisoners in the cell were also shocked, they had never heard that a prisoner sentenced to death could be rehabilitated, could Song Yi have bought off the officials to open up the joints, but this poor ghost doesn't look like a rich man, it can't be that he heard it wrong!

Song Yi was also shocked, just a few days ago he was told that he had been sentenced to death, he was already dead, all the evidence proved that he was related to the deceased, so he was speechless, just waiting for the autumn to be pulled to the execution ground and stabbed, and suddenly heard that he was acquitted, as if in a dream.

"Hurry up, don't grind, do you want to stay in the cell!"

The cell boss's words made Song Yi sober up, and the ghost was willing to stay in the dark cell, and immediately jumped up like a red buttocks, for fear that the cell boss would regret it, and said with palpitations: "I don't know why the cell boss knows why the villain was acquitted?" ”

The cell boss glanced at Song Yi coldly, and said with a hint of envy in his tone: "You have a good deal, this time it is the Zhen family Lang who personally intercedes for you in front of the Ming Mansion, otherwise you will wait to cut off your head!" ”

"Zhen Jialang ......!" Song Yi muttered in his mouth, his face was even more puzzled, in this real certainty, the Zhen family who can talk to the Ming Mansion naturally has no second family, thinking that since the Zhen family helped him speak, Song Yi's brain was a little unable to turn around, when did a person like himself get involved with the Zhen family.

The cell boss didn't know what the relationship between Song Yi and the Zhen family was, let alone why Song Yi's case would be retried, but I heard that Zhen Qian had found Wen County's order once, and Song Yi's case took a turn for the better, but looking at Song Yi like this, I am afraid I don't know the reason.

"The sky has eyes!" Song Yi walked out of the dim cell, there was an urge to see the sun, knelt down and kowtowed a few times in the direction of the county office, it was impossible to thank Wen County Order in person, and Wen County Ling would not see a person like Song Yi.

Song Yi asked cautiously, for fear of causing displeasure from the cell boss, "May I ask the cell boss, have the other people in my family also been released?" ”

"Oh!" The cell boss still had no expression on his face, "I was released yesterday, because you are the main culprit in this case, so I was finally released, and now your family is waiting for you outside!" ”

As soon as Song Yi heard that his family had been released, the joy in his heart was uncontrollable, and he didn't care whether the cell boss would be happy or not, so he ran towards the door of the cell.

"Father!"

As soon as Song Yi ran out of the door, a cry of joy and excitement came from the front, "Father! ”

"Jiang'er, Yu'er......!"

Song Yi found that he couldn't describe his mood at this moment in words, the joy of regaining his freedom and the reunion of his family was like a dream, which made people dare not think about it, those miserable days in the prison cell, let Song Yi be sad from his heart, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, crying like a baby in confinement.

"Father!"

Song Yi's eldest son, Song Jiang, wiped the tears from his face and said to Song Yi, who had not yet recovered from joy and excitement: "Father! This time, the family suffered a great disaster, and thanks to the help of a distant relative of the same clan, the father was rescued from prison ......".

"It's the same benefactor, take me to know it!"

Song Yi saw that there were many people around, in addition to his own family, there were also many people who watched the excitement, and he didn't know who Song Yu said about the benefactor of the same sect?

"This is Uncle Song, named Song Yi, who used to live in the same village with our family, and he is still within five suits, so I still call him Uncle Song!" Song Jiang came out of prison one day earlier than Song Yi, and it was Song Yi who took Song Jiang and several people out of prison.

Song Yi still has a vague impression of Song Yi, he left his hometown to wander outside in his early years, and twenty or thirty years have passed in a flash, and he is very strange at the moment: "Brother Song, why did you come to Zhending, I heard that you seem to be in Dingzhou, is it because my affairs are involved?" ”

"It's hard to put into words! Don't talk about ......", Song Yi didn't want to mention his own affairs now, so he said: "You can get out of prison this time thanks to the Zhen family, come and meet my master?" ”

"Zhen Jialang!" Song Yi didn't notice the word "master" in Song Yi's mouth, just now when he was in prison, he heard the cell boss say that the Zhen family was Lang, and he wondered how he had a relationship with the Zhen family, and now when he heard the Zhen family again, he couldn't help but think of Song Yi, it seems that Song Yi was the matchmaker in the middle to save himself from prison.

"Take me to meet my lifesaver!"

Zhen Qian sat in the carriage and saw Song Yi leading an old man to him, and he didn't get off the lane: "This is Song Yi!" ”

Song Yi hurriedly introduced to Song Yi: "This is the eldest man of the Zhen family, and the reason why you can get out of prison safely this time is because the master pleads with Wenming Mansion ......."

"Master!" Song Yi noticed Song Yi's words this time, and looked at Song Yi with a puzzled expression, this word is not used casually, that is to say, Song Yi has become the slave of this Zhen family's eldest man, at least he is also a tenant, otherwise he would not be called so.

"Let's not talk about that!" Song Yi is not easy to explain to Song Yi what happened to him now, "If it weren't for the master's action, I'm afraid you would really be beheaded by the Autumn Queen this time!" ”

Song Yi also knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of it, so he immediately knelt in front of the carriage and kowtowed to Zhen Qian: "The villain Song Yi thanks Zhen Lang for saving his life, but now the villain's house is in ruins, and I don't know how to thank Zhen Lang for saving his life!" ”

What Song Yi said was also the truth, but others were old and sophisticated, and they knew that Zhen Qian would not save himself for no reason, and he must have some plan, but he didn't know.
