But this group of people is the God of Wealth and can't be offended, Liu Laotou could only swallow his anger and said: "Young master, please tell me."

Yan Biyun didn't know what Li Zhongzhong was talking about, but since Li Zhong knew some official inside stories, he wouldn't say anything wrong.

Just listen to Li Chong said: "This is very easy to do, our Su Xiaoguan was born and raised very delicately, and his body can't stand the torture. This time, we are temporarily detained here, and we will be rescued within three days." , I just want to ask the officials for a favor, don't let Su Xiaoguan suffer with some fancy tricks, first of all, he is weak, if something happens, someone in Sujiajing will be an official, I am afraid he will not let it go, second Come on, you are all natives of Luzhou, you don’t see people who look up when you look down, Xiaoguan Su is just a small brawl, so there is no need to embarrass him because of this, do you military masters think what I said is reasonable?"

The jailer thought: "He is weak? Why didn't you say that you were weak when you were in the brick wheel? You said it was an ordinary fight, but this fight was not someone else, but the magistrate's son, the ordinary has become unusual. "

But it’s okay to think about these words in your heart. People sell a hundred taels of silver. This batch of money can be divided into seventy or eighty yuan per person, which is enough for the whole family’s expenses for one or two years. Working in a private house, visiting brothels, listening to ditties and drinking flower wine is enough to live a fairy life for a few months. Keep this matter secret, even if you look at the face of this huge sum of money, you will not embarrass this small official Su.

The prison boss nodded without hesitation and said: "Young master is right. We wouldn't be rude to Su Xiaoguan if you didn't tell me. Although I am a small prison boss, I take good care of prisoners. I don't believe you." You can inquire about it."

Li nodded his head and said: "That's good. Many people here have heard what you said. I hope the cell boss will keep his word and do what he says, so that there will be no trouble."

Although Li Chong's words are not pleasant to listen to, they are poking at the weak point of the jailers. These guys are inhumane. They often take money and torture what should be tortured. When the family members quarrel, they will deny it. They can't help it either.

Li Chong has heard a lot about these things, so he has a long-term mind. First, Su Jin really needs to be taken care of. If this young master is wronged, something big may happen. Second, the gang of jailers also need to be beaten. , Teach them to know that the Su family is an expert, and they know their tricks like the back of their hands, so don't bully anyone in the Su family.

Although the head of the cell sounded upset, but in front of the white silver tael, he could endure a few heartwarming words, and immediately collected the silver tael and let him in.

A jailer led the way, and they entered the gate and turned around a screen wall, feeling like they were in a cage.

A large courtyard surrounded by tall adobe walls is overgrown with weeds, broken stones and broken trees everywhere, smelly water and sewage everywhere, mosquitoes and flies buzzing, and the stench is overwhelming.

Yan Biyun and Xiao Sui'er were about to cry, especially Xiao Sui'er, who had served the young master for five or six years, had he ever been allowed to live in a place like this, where mosquitoes and flies were flying around, and yellow and white things were everywhere. Are you spoiling your son?

Everyone was silent, and followed the jailer to a row of stone houses in the northwest corner. It seemed that there were more than 20 rooms. These rooms were all connected to each other. There was a five-foot-wide aisle in the middle. cell.

This place in the northwest corner is the old prison of the big prison, which is the place where people sentenced to normal crimes are detained. In addition, there are several houses that are lower than the barn next to the old prison. At first glance, they thought they were toilets, but In fact, it is a dungeon; although the court forbids the prison to set up water prisons and other places to torture prisoners, the rules are the rules, and the execution belongs to the execution. This is the case in every dynasty. These two things have never been seamlessly connected.

Su Jin was left by the door in the single room at the entrance of the old prison. As soon as he entered the dark porch of the old prison, the sharp-eyed Xiao Sui Er saw the back of Su Jin sitting with his back to the door, through the log fence, It can be seen that Su Jin is sitting on the straw mat with half of his arms bare, facing the wall and doesn't know what he is doing. Although the situation looks miserable, it is also quite funny.

After half of the sleeves were pulled off, the image of sitting there again looked like a monk in cassock. If he shaved his head, it would be quite complete.

"My lord..." Xiao Sui'er burst into tears, threw herself on the fence and cried.

Su Jin was shocked, turned around, and said with surprise on his face: "Hey, you came so soon, I still think that the magistrate will definitely obstruct it in every possible way."

The jailer who led the way hurriedly stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture: "Don't talk about this matter, everyone, please keep your voice down and speak quickly, and if you have something to say, quickly say it out, so as not to cause trouble; I'll go outside and have a look. We must all go out." After saying that, he turned and went out to watch the wind.

Xiao Sui'er cried and laughed, and chattered about the situation just now to Su Jin. Su Jin bowed deeply to Li Chong and Yan Biyun in the prison and said, "Thank you for your generous rescue. I can only trouble you two."

Li Chong returned the salute with clasped fists, Yan Biyun returned the salute with all blessings, Li Chong said: "Young Master Su, you didn't think twice this time, why did you hit someone?"

Su Jin smiled and shook his arms and said: "The clothes are almost stripped off by those bastards, if I don't do anything yet, treat me as a sick cat."

Li Chong sighed: "It's really unbearable, but this matter is too unexpected."

Su Jindao: "Brother Li's lesson is, do you know how the magistrate is going to deal with me?"

Li Chongdao: "I haven't found out about this yet. I came to visit the prison as soon as possible. The main reason is that I am afraid that the prison guards will be unruly and that you will suffer a dark loss."

Su Jin said: "Someone was going to move me, but they stopped me. Don't you think it's a good place here? The sky is dark... no, the wild is vast... no, there are cattle and sheep under the wind blowing grass... lice on your body. You Come to my humble house, I don’t have a place to entertain you, haha, haha.”

Seeing him joking and laughing, Yan Biyun was about to shed tears, and said angrily: "You are still joking, but how many people are anxious, don't worry, I will rescue you as soon as possible no matter what."

Su Jin put away her smile and said: "I regret it a little. I just thought about it for a long time and felt that there is one thing that must be guarded against."

Seeing his solemn expression, everyone waited quietly for him to speak. Su Jin saw that there were self-conscious people in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I, Qin Dalang, a clerk from Suji Tailoring Shop, has been missing for many days. Before I find out, Su Ji can't get rid of the responsibility, I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of this opportunity to frame me, so that I can't get out, hey...it's all because I didn't think carefully, and now the situation is passive."

Li Chong didn't know anything about Qin Dalang's matter, so he was confused, but Yan Biyun and shopkeeper Zhao knew about it. When they heard Su Jin's words, dark clouds suddenly formed in their hearts; if Su Jin's If the fear becomes a reality, this time it will be in big trouble.

Seeing the solemn expressions of several people, Su Jin said with a smile: "It's just a guess. Shopkeeper Zhao went back to discuss the matter carefully with old shopkeeper Zhang and that Liu Dacheng, and took precautions, in case it got involved in this matter It’s good to have a defense.”

Shopkeeper Zhao agreed, the shadow in his heart was still hard to get rid of, everyone knew that if someone intentionally tried to make a false accusation, it would not be so easy to get out.

Everyone discussed for a while, and Xiao Sui'er stuffed all the quilts, clothes, small stools, and even a few books through the gaps in the fence, and finally said with a sniff: "I knew it was so smelly here, Xiao Sui'er." The maidservant should bring a plate of incense to fumigate.

Su Jin asked in surprise: "Do you want me to live here permanently?"

Xiao Sui'er said urgently: "No, it's not."

Su Jin laughed and said: "Little girl is very careful, just kidding, I need all these things. When you come tomorrow, bring some incense. There is indeed a smell here."

Yan Biyun admired that he was still in the mood to joke at the moment, and asked Xiao Xian'er to pass in the food box, and sighed softly: "Although the jailers have already prepared, but you should pay attention to your words. A good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses. Don't be tempted to lose your temper." , only to suffer an indiscriminate disaster, and in the prison, bull ghosts and snake gods have everything, so be careful about everything."

Su Jin agreed and bowed to thank him.

Li Chong also stepped forward and said: "Young Master Su, please relax. I am an official anyway, and the magistrate should give me a little favor. Immediately, I will go to the yamen to meet the magistrate, and I will rescue Master Su intact."

Su Jinchang bowed, grateful in his heart, he finally made a few friends, Li Chong and Yan Biyun stepped forward at the critical moment, and felt quite comforted in his heart.

Everyone bid farewell to each other, Xiao Sui'er looked back step by step with tears in her eyes, Yan Biyun covered her face with a green veil, although she couldn't see her expression clearly, but when Xiao Xian'er helped her turn around, she clearly saw two pearls rolling into the dust.
