Li Xin came to the prison of Yingtianfu under the guidance of Zhu Yuncai, and as soon as he entered the door, the smell of corruption was sandwiched in the damp and cold cool breeze. In order to prevent the prisoners from escaping, the walls of the prison did not open to the outside windows, leaving only a few fist-sized holes to make pores. I've been in prison for a long time, and I can't see the sun all day long, and I wish I could turn into a bird and fly out of the fist-sized blowhole.

Compared with the prison in Gaoyang County, the specifications and conditions of this Tianfu prison are relatively better, at least the smell of feces and urine is much lighter, and the ground in the prison looks a lot cleaner. However, Li Xin is not sure if it is usually like this, maybe the soap subordinates learned that they were coming, and they did some cleaning in advance.

The ground of Ying Tianfu's prison was far lower than the ground outside, and Li Xin went down more than a dozen steps before he stepped firmly on the cold and damp ground of the prison. He only glanced at it a few times, and saw that the prison was overcrowded, and the prisoners in the cell rushed to the wooden fence with curiosity and confusion when they heard the movement, wanting to see who had come.

Suddenly, he saw a senior official in a purple robe, hugging him back and forth, and immediately opened his throat and shouted hysterically: "Wronged! Lord Qingtian, the villain is wronged! ”

With the beginning, the entire prison resounded one after another with the sound of shouting injustice, and the momentum was magnificent. This made Zhu Yuncai very embarrassed, he originally wanted to pull the Marquis of Zhen over to take a look at his means of considering human criminals, but he wanted to ignore these prisoners in prison, and let these people take advantage of the loopholes at the critical moment. Zhu Yuncai glared fiercely at the jailer who was following him, the jailer had been running errands under Zhu Yuncai for many years, and he was suddenly a little flustered by this look.

In a hurry, the jailer lifted the waist knife in his hand and smashed it on the wooden fence with the scabbard, and scolded viciously: "Are you crazy?" Or did you eat the bear's heart leopard gall? Shocked the driver of the town, cut off your tongues, and throw you into the dung pit! ”

In fact, the sentence of the jailer is suspected of exceeding the system, and the Ming Dynasty has strict rules on the use of words and phrases for the emperor, ministers and civilians. But by the time of the Apocalypse Chongzhen, these so-called regulations had long been in vain, and occasionally using an over-the-top sentence to compliment officials and superiors often fully satisfied the vanity of the flattered.

However, Li Xin did not notice the good intentions of the prison officials, he was not very sensitive to these hierarchies, and he did not feel that the prison officials' words were inappropriate for a while, but frowned a little at his vicious and rough treatment of prisoners. However, these are all details, and there is no need to waste energy and delay work on these things.

It is not the duty of a military officer to picket unjust prisoners, and he has his own supervisory officials to handle all kinds of unjust cases. He believes that wherever there are people, there will be unjust cases, and there are no exceptions in ancient and modern times, and as for whether they are wronged or not, it cannot be based on the words of one person to commit the crime.

Li Xin asked himself if he was not a detective Di Renjie, nor was he a prisoner like a god, so let's leave these things to officials who are good at this.

Suddenly, a familiar and somewhat immature voice came into Li Xin's ears.

"Master, the villain is Chen Zheng, the villain is wronged, save the villain brother!"

Chen Zheng? Li Xin only felt that the voice was familiar in his mind, and under the electric thought of his mind, he suddenly remembered the Chen brothers who had been rescued in Longtan County when he had just come to Yingtianfu. The Chen family was originally a large local family in Yingtianfu, and the Chen family was engaged in cotton cloth sales, and they were also one of the top businessmen in Nanzhili.

Later, when Li Xin went to Nanjing to look for someone, the two brothers were abducted and left in Longtan County, and they were never heard from. Li Xin also instructed the relevant person in charge to investigate and investigate this, and the news obtained was also varied, some people said that the Chen brothers were tied up in Hangzhou, and some people said that the Chen brothers had already been sunk in the Yangtze River, so that the Wang Ba in the river gnawed not even the bones and slag.

Unexpectedly, the Chen family brothers who he had been working hard to find were under his nose, and they were also in the Yingtianfu Prison of Chen Wenshan. He never thought that a farce that was dark under the lights could be staged under his nose.

Li Xin searched for the voice, came to the cell where the Chen brothers were, and said to the jailer who was still extremely vicious just now: "Who is locked up inside?" Open the door! ”

The jailer's face was sweating a little, to be honest, the two brothers who were locked up in it were their own wives and brothers who spent fifty taels of silver to ask him for favors, and he put these two people of unknown origin who had not been officially imprisoned in Yingtianfu Prison privately. In other words, these two people are not found in the archives of the Great Prison and Ying Tianfu, and in other words, the two brothers are completely wronged. As a prison officer, he himself was the creator of this unjust prison.

But what else can the jailer say now? He could only secretly say that he was unlucky, how could he imagine that the two brothers imprisoned in this cell were so big that they could pass through the sky of the marquis. While being shocked in the house, he couldn't help but secretly hate his wife and brother for pit people, where did he pick up this hot potato and dump it to himself. He secretly swore that once he got rid of today's affairs, he would immediately go home and rest the losers, just to straighten out the good friends who were raised outside.

At the same time, Zhu Yuncai, who followed Li Xin, also changed his face, he also heard about the Chen family brothers, Chen Wenshan mentioned it to him sporadically during the chat, and he also sighed, the marquis of Zhenyu was broad-minded, and he was not angry with him because of this incident in Longtan City, but deliberately promoted, speaking of it is full of gratitude, and it is difficult to repay the grace of knowing in this life.

Zhu Yuncai didn't know how much of Chen Wenshan's words were true and how much of them were false, but from this incident, he could feel that the Marquis of Zhenyu attached great importance to the Chen family brothers. Now the Chen family brother, who has been missing for half a year, actually appeared in Yingtianfu Prison, and he was still supervising the prison as a general sentence, how could he not know anything about it? What makes him even more depressed, whether this matter is explained or not, is a bad account that is getting darker and darker, and he can only hope for the trust of the Marquis of Zhenju.

The dejected jailer instructed the jailer to open the door, and as the door opened, a foul smell came to his nose. People hid their faces and avoided them. Li Xin didn't care about the stench, leaned over, and sure enough, the person in front of him was Chen Zheng, who was already skinny. It's just that he forgot whether Chen Zheng was an elder brother or a younger brother, so he asked, "Sure enough, it's you, what about your brother?" ”

Hearing Li Xin's question, Chen Zheng's lips were flattened and he actually cried.

"Zhenyu Hou help, he, he has a fever, if, again, if he is not treated, I am afraid that he will die!"

Li Xin originally wanted to ask Chen Zheng how the two brothers were tied up in this Yingtianfu prison, but out of the purpose of rushing to save people, he recruited two jailers and asked them to place the two brothers in the wing room where he was hospitalized.

The jailers dared not delay, and they did not care about the stench immediately, and after entering, they had to carry the dying young man on the grass bed.

"Wait!" Li Xin suddenly stopped drinking the soap subordinates, and then turned his head to a pro-soldier who was following him and said expressionlessly: "You take care of the Chen family brothers here first, and no one is allowed to approach them!" Then he coldly commanded the jailer: "Go!" Boil some hot water, and get some food, and feed them! ”

The jailer wanted to turn around and order his jailers again, but suddenly he changed his mind and went to buy the things that the town captives had given him personally. The Marquis of Zhenju did not say a word about punishing him, and the jailer was lucky, so he planned to deliberately behave in front of the Marquis of Zhenju, so that he could seek abonement.

But Li Xin's arrangement cast an ominous shadow on Zhu Yuncai's heart. What does this arrangement mean? It is nothing more than that he has developed a distrust of himself and this prison official, and the reason why he is not in a hurry to carry the Chen family brothers out and make proper arrangements is because he is afraid that someone with bad intentions will kill people and kill them. However, Li Xin's next order to the jailer to find hot water and food made Zhu Wen feel strange. Isn't he afraid that the hot water and food brought by the jailer will be poisonous?

What did the Marquis of Zhenyu think? At first, Zhu Yuncai asked himself if he could grasp his inner thoughts, but after this episode, Zhu Yuncai was confused, and there was a ridiculous feeling in his heart that he was like a tiger.

Zhu Yuncai really couldn't figure out what the attitude of the marquis of Zhenyu towards himself represented? Looking at the expression of the Marquis of Zhenyu who was not happy or angry, he could only take one step at a time.

"Let's go! Let's hurry up and solve the masked thief's trouble! ”

The masked thief was arranged by Zhu Yuncai in the innermost part of the prison, during which he had to pass through several locked iron gates, and it was difficult to escape from it. While the jailer was carrying the sparse key ring to unlock the lock, Li Xin casually asked Zhu Yuncai: "What do you think about the Chen brothers?" ”

Seeing that the Marquis of Zhenyu took the initiative to ask, Zhu Yun felt that he needed to stand up and cry out for himself.

"Back to the town! When the Chen family brothers' subordinate officials were sentenced to Tianfutong, they didn't know about it, and it was the jailer who did it behind his back! After explaining a few words, Zhu Yuncai felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to just say this, so he added: "The lower officials are also responsible for this matter, if the lower officials can check the name of the prison in time, they won't, they won't ......" The Chen brothers were locked up in the prison for half a year, and it was during Zhu Yuncai's tenure, how could it be completely cleared?

Li Xin nodded, "En! You are indeed guilty of not being aware! I will hand over this case to you, and the people involved behind it, no matter who they are and how big their background is, they will be investigated to the end for me. Snatching people's property and chasing and beating people's children is really hateful, and they must not be spared! ”

Zhu Yuncai breathed a sigh of relief, and the marquis of Zhenyu said that he was responsible for not paying attention, and handed over the case to him, indicating that he still trusted him.

While the two of them were talking, the last iron door opened, and in addition to the cold and smelly breath, there were also bursts of weak scolding!
