Li Yuntian knew that the soldier was making things difficult for him, just now he had seen the official document stamped with the big seal of the Yandao judge in the government office, how could he leave in such a short time. It is recommended to read novels and read books quickly

"If the judge is not there, then the deputy envoy or the fellow can be there?" He didn't bother to bother with the tall and thin doorman, and asked with a grim expression.

"Hmph, the deputy envoy and the fellow acquaintance are busy with official business, how can you see them if you want to?" The thin and tall doorman saw that Li Yuntian was so uninteresting, so he said coldly, he was not afraid of Li Yuntian, a county magistrate from other places.

"This brother, we have an urgent matter to see the judge, please inform me." Seeing this, Zheng Boxin hurriedly stepped forward, took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the hand of the tall and thin doorman.

"Wait, I'll see if the Judge has returned." The tall and thin doorman stretched out his hand and weighed the silver, almost five taels, stuffed it into his waist, glanced at Li Yuntian and entered the yamen.

Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, it is very common for the doorman to ask for bribes, but the doorman of the Yandao Yamen dares to blatantly not give him the face of the seven-grade county commander and openly ask for benefits, then this matter is very rare, which shows the arrogance of the people of the Yandao Yamen.

"Your Excellency Judge said, it's already lunch time, and if there is anything to do, I'll talk about it after the opening of the government in the afternoon." A moment later, the tall and thin doorman walked out and said in a loud voice to Li Yuntian and Zheng Boxin.

At noon, the officials and servants in the yamen had to eat and rest by the way, so the yamen had to close the yamen and wait until the afternoon office was open again.

"Brother-in-law, what should I do?" Now that there is still half an hour before lunch, the judge uses this as an excuse, obviously not wanting to see Li Yuntian, Zheng Boxin couldn't help asking.

"Then we'll come back in the afternoon." Li Yuntian sneered, walked back to the carriage, as long as he did the etiquette and process, then everyone else couldn't say anything.

"This kid is too ignorant, but he is just a small Qipin Zhixian County, and he dares to put on a score in our Yandao Yamen." After Li Yuntian and Zheng Boxin got in the car and left, the tall and thin doorman said disdainfully to his companion beside him.

"He can be a magistrate at a young age, will he have some background?" The companion couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard this, as the magistrate Li Yuntian was indeed too young, usually the magistrate was in his thirties and forties, and some were fifty years old.

"Have you ever seen those people who have a background come to the yamen to ask to see the judge?" The tall, lanky doorman smiled disapprovingly, reminding his companion.

Hearing this, the companion nodded, those people with deep backgrounds have already solved things through various relationships, and they will not make trouble with the Yandao Yamen at all.

"Brother-in-law, what should we do next?" In the driving carriage, Zheng Boxin looked at Li Yuntian uneasily, it was obvious that the judge of the Yandao Yamen was deliberately embarrassing Li Yuntian.

"Find a restaurant and deliver food to Yuting and them." Li Yuntian, who was frowning and pondering, came back to his senses and said after thinking about it.

He didn't know the judge's intentions, and wanted him to find a relationship to dredge up this matter, but how could he let the other party get his wish, since he had inadvertently got involved with the Yandao Yamen this time, then he had to see how deep the water in the Yandao Yamen was.

Zheng Boxin didn't expect Li Yuntian to have the heart to eat at this time, but since Li Yuntian had already proposed it, he had no choice but to let the coachman go to a famous restaurant.

After a simple lunch in the restaurant, Li Yuntian asked the servants of the Zheng family to bring the food boxes they brought from the restaurant to the Yandao Yamen Prison.

There is also a prison for those who have violated the salt law, located in the northwest corner of the Yandao Yamen.

"This military master, let's bring food to people, you can be accommodating." Zheng Boxin gave the gatekeeper a piece of silver, and said with a smile.

"When did you get in? What happened? The gatekeeper shook the silver in his hand and asked in an official tone.

"I caught it this morning, saying that I had an affair with the salt barons, but we are innocent people, how can we have dealings with those salt barons." Zheng Boxin explained with a smile on his face.

"Oh, it's them!" The gatekeeper nodded, and a trace of ** flashed in his eyes, "It's not that I'm talking about you, you have to provoke those salt merchants' sons and daughters to do something, and you're not afraid of those delicate little ladies who will make a mistake in prison." ”

"Master Jun, they are all female dependents, and they have never been to prison, you see if we can go in and bring them food." Zheng Boxin's eyes flashed with a look of disgust, but he had to continue to laugh there on his face.

"Wait, I'll go in and talk to the boss." The gatekeeper collected the money and walked in.

Li Yuntian stood aside, his brows furrowed tightly, it seemed that there was a miasma of smoke inside the Yandao Yamen, if he didn't clean it up properly, then sooner or later it would cause a big mess.

"Our boss said that those people were important prisoners who had an affair with the salt barons, and it was forbidden for outsiders to bring food inside." After a while, the gatekeeper came out and said to Zheng Boxin.

"Can you please be accommodating, we're just delivering food." Zheng Boxin was stunned for a moment, stepped forward with a smile and said, "I must have a heavy thank you in the next place." ”

"It's not that I don't help you, it's that you mess with people you shouldn't mess with." The gatekeeper shook his head, perhaps for the sake of the ingot of silver, and kindly whispered to Zheng Boxin, "Hurry up and find a relationship to deal with, if it is night, anything will happen in prison." ”

"I don't think it's as good as this, you find a way to let me in, this silver ticket is yours." Li Yuntian couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard this, Zhou Yuting got up, groaned for a while, took a silver ticket of fifty taels from Li Manshan on the side, and stuffed it into the hand of the gatekeeper.

"Okay, for the sake of the little ladies you care about so much, I'll help you." Seeing Li Yuntian's generous move, the gatekeeper stuffed the silver ticket into his arms and said in a low voice, "However, you have to listen to me." ”

Li Yuntian nodded, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and now it seems that this is really the case, a small gatekeeper actually has a way to get him in prison.

Soon, Li Yuntian, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, carried a food box in his hand, lowered his head and followed the guard into the prison, and came to the door of the cell after a courtyard.

The gatekeeper said a few words to a stout jailer, and the stout jailer led Li Yuntian into the cell.

The cell was dark and damp, full of a bad smell, Li Yuntian was surprised, he didn't expect Zhou Yuting to be able to endure staying in such a ghost place.

The cells on both sides of the corridor were full of people, all dirty, with unkempt hair, sluggish expressions, and ragged clothes.

Li Yuntian felt that the prisoners' spirits had become a little deranged and nervous, and perhaps any outsider who entered the prison brought them hope of leaving the prison, which also fully showed their helplessness and sorrow.

There was no women's prison in the Yandao Yamen, so the innermost cells in the cell were used as women's prisons, equipped with several female jailers who were five big and three rough.

The female prisoners in the cell were disheveled and disheveled, and when they saw Li Yuntian coming, they gathered in front of the wooden fence, looking at him expectantly, wanting to see if he had come to save them.

In the innermost cell, Li Yuntian saw Zhou Yuting, Lu Cao, Chen Ningning, and Zheng Wanrou, the four of them were locked up with more than a dozen female prisoners, and several female prisoners seemed to be particularly afraid of them, and they all hid in a corner, with injuries on their faces, as if they had been beaten.

The stout jailer nodded to a female jailer, and the female jailer opened the door of the cell, and Li Yuntian walked in.

"Hurry up!" The stout jailer instructed Li Yuntian, got up and left, only the female jailer stood guard at the door.

Seeing Li Yuntian come in, the female prisoners in the prison looked at him curiously, Li Yuntian lowered his head and came to Zhou Yuting, and then looked up at her with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Yuting was stunned for a moment when she saw this, and then showed a look of surprise.

"Don't worry about you." Li Yuntian smiled, opened the food box, and said to Zhou Yuting and the green calyx, Chen Ningning, and Zheng Wanrou on the side, "You must be hungry, eat first." ”

At this moment, where could Zhou Yuting and the others eat in this environment, so they distributed the pastries in the food box to a few children in the same prison.

Because the children hid in the crowd at first, and then they were attracted by the pastries in the food box, and stood far away, staring at the pastries, Li Yuntian noticed them, and he didn't expect that there were such young children in the cell.

"Why don't you go out first?" Li Yuntian twitched the tip of his nose and whispered to Zhou Yuting.

The air was filled with a strange smell of dampness, very pungent, the straw spread on the ground looked a little damp, some insects with unnamed names crawled around on the ground, and the toilet on the side was foul and disgusting.

The environment here is really bad, he began to feel sorry for Zhou Yuting and Lu Cao and others, there is no need to be angry with the people of Yandao Yamen, and the days will be long, and one day they will be cleaned up.

"These guys are too hateful for Miss Ben to just leave." Zhou Yuting's face was cold, and she said with a frosty face, "I didn't want to use my father to suppress them, but they indiscriminately made up an excuse to arrest us, I must come out with this tone." ”

"My father and the Nanjing garrison are friends in trouble, you go to Yangzhou Wei to find the commander, and ask him to bring someone to smash this broken salt road yamen for Miss Ben!" Immediately, Zhou Yuting gritted her teeth and said to Li Yuntian, "This girl was named the Lord of Yingrui County by the Holy Lord, how could they wantonly bully her?" "One
