Qin Xiao saw an empty wine jar slump at the head of the bed, and knew that the old guy had no wine to drink. He coughed and said, "Uncle Shen, do you still have wine?"

The old drunkard's snoring stopped abruptly and immediately sat up. Seeing Qin Xiao standing outside the door, he immediately grinned and said, "Come on wine, come on wine, you'll be gone last night."

He is over 50 years old, his skin is dark and his face is full of dirt. It seems that he has not washed his face for many days.

"It's okay to have wine," Qin Xiao said with a smile: "But from the day before yesterday, you have lost money in your account. I still paid the money for the wine these two days. I have limited ability and can't pay any further."

The old drunkard stretched and said, "If you don't have money, you'll say it earlier. I can still save you money for wine."

"That's good." Qin Xiao said: "The above meaning is that if Mr. Shen can pay for the wine today, it will be easy to say anything. If he can't take it out, he will have to go to the C-shaped supervisor."

"What does it mean? You don't know if you think an old thing. You have the final say in the character A prison." The old drunkard said angrily: "At a young age, he is good at calculating, and he values ​​money so much."

Qin Xiao said with a bitter face: "You always know that it is not that easy to bring wine to the A-shaped supervisor. The brothers have to handle it. It doesn't matter if I can't get the money, but they are not easy to deal with."

The old drunkard got out of the bed, walked to the prison door with his bare feet wrapped in mud, looking quite vulgar, and grinned, "You go and get a jar of wine first, I will definitely make a lot of money for you."

Qin Xiao shook his head and didn't say anything.

The old drunkard said slightly annoyed: "I have been in for two months, and you and I have some friendship, but I am just not in a favor?"

"Uncle Shen, if you hadn't been thinking about our friendship, you would have been sent out of the A-word prison two days ago." Qin Xiao sighed: "It's not that I don't want to help, I'm really powerless."

"Forget it." The old drunkard said helplessly: "If there is no silver these days, there will be no friendship. I have seen through it." He approached Qin Xiao and whispered: "There is a place where you can receive one hundred taels of silver. You can go there tomorrow night and get it."

"One hundred taels?" Qin Xiao was a little surprised. If he hadn't really received the dozen taels of silver last time, Qin Xiao would never believe that the old guy could still take out one hundred taels of silver. He frowned and said, "Mr. Shen, are you kidding?"

The old drunkard smiled profoundly and said, "No kidding, no kidding. Do you know the land temple in Xicheng?"

Qin Xiao has been in Guicheng for several years and is very familiar with the streets and alleys. There is a land temple in the entire Guicheng, east and west of the city, but the incense is not good. The land temple in Xicheng is located in a remote place and has long been abandoned. He nodded and said, "I know, silver is in the land temple?"

The old drunkard smiled and said, "In the middle of tomorrow, when you go to the Land Temple, you will naturally get 100 taels of silver and 20 taels of silver as your errand fee. The rest will be recorded in the account, which is enough for my future expenses."

"Wait a minute." Qin Xiao immediately said, "You asked me to go there tomorrow night? Wouldn't that be midnight?" He smiled bitterly, "Mr. Shen, you also know that the land temple is very deserted. Run over in the middle of the night. If there is a ghost inside, wouldn't it scare me to death?"

"Zi doesn't say that the strange power is in chaos." The old wine ghost flipped his eyes and spread his hands, saying, "I don't have a copper coin on me now. If you want silver, you can only go to the Land Temple to get it."

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, don't be angry. What I mean is that since the silver is in the Land Temple, tell me where the silver is hidden, wouldn't it be better for me to get it during the day?"

"Do you think that one hundred taels of silver are hidden in a corner like last time?" The old drunkard rolled his eyes and said, "I tell you the truth. That one hundred taels of silver is a debt owed to me by others. I am the creditor. Tomorrow night, that person will go to the Land Temple to pay off the debt."

"Someone owes you a debt?" Qin Xiao became more and more surprised: "Uncle Shen, don't joke."

"Your eyes are like those ordinary people, very snobbish." The old drunkard looked like a child was unspeakable and sighed: "If you can't get the money tomorrow night, I will be able to drive me out of the A-shaped prison."

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, it's such a coincidence that the money in your account just happened to be gone, so someone will give you money?"

"It's not a coincidence, I'm doing it." The old drunkard said: "Today is the fourth day of the third month. I agreed with the man that even if there is a big deal, the debt silver must be sent to the Xicheng Land Temple at any time on the night of the fifth day of the third month. The man kept his promise and would not make a mistake. You can go there and see that man, and only say that the pharmacist asked you to go over and get the silver, and he will naturally hand over the silver to you."

Qin Xiao was still a little hesitant, but the old drunkard had already stretched and said, "I know that working in the yamen can only cost two taels of silver a month at most. Tomorrow night, you will get twenty taels of silver and almost cover your annual salary. If you don't want to, you can drive me away now, and that one hundred taels of silver will be used as a waste."

After so many years, Qin Xiao also realized that silver is really a good thing. Even a hero is not missing this yellow and white thing.

Although he has made great gains in the character A supervisor, the brothers in the prison have all their share, and not too many of them fall into Qin Xiao's hands. Twenty taels of silver are also very attractive to Qin Xiao.

Captain Meng had also instructed Qin Xiao before that if he really made some money, he would have to save it well. He would have to marry a wife in a few years and have a child. There were many places to spend money. Now his residence in Mutou Lane is very simple. If he had saved enough money, he would have a better place to live.

If you go to the next night, you will get twenty taels of silver, which will be considered a fortune.

"Uncle Shen, there will be no danger, right?" Qin Xiao thought for a while before lowering his voice, "Is there a trap there?"

The old drunkard stared at Qin Xiao's eyes and suddenly laughed: "Train? Do you think you are, and you still have a trap for you? I am still in prison. If something really happens to you, can I have a good life?" He yawned, glanced down at the wine gourd around Qin Xiao's waist, licked his lips and said: "I'll sleep first, get me a jar of wine later." He walked to the edge of the bed, fell down, and said without any nonsense.

Guicheng is an important place in Xiling, and it is a must-pass place for business travelers who travel east and west.

In the thousands of mountains, the lonely city is closed with long smoke and setting sun.

Xiling is vast and sparsely populated, with wind and sand raging, and the environment is harsh, but it cannot stop the pace of business trips and travelers.

The Gudha people from the west, the Tusun people from the north, and the Tang people from the west of Jiayuguan can all see their figures in Turtle City. Some murderers who committed major cases come to Xiling to take refuge. Some rivers and lakes are resting here, and fish and dragons are mixed. Although Turtle City is not as magnificent as Xiling Fenggan Mansion, there are still tens of thousands of people.

When the lights first came, the city was crowded with people, and the clothes were different, bustling and lively.

If we talk about the most lively place in the city, except for the brothel, it can only be the gambling houses scattered all over the city.

The gambling house is the world, sitting at the gambling table, no matter you are a wealthy businessman or a wanderer, no matter you are a young man or a barrister, there is only one identity here, that is, a gambler, no one cares what your identity is after you go out, there is only one idea here, which is to win the silver in your pocket into my pocket.

Jinge Gambling House is the top-ranked gambling house in Turtle City. After dark, the gambling house is crowded.

Qin Xiao was wearing casual clothes at this time, standing in front of the tea shop opposite Jinghou Gambling, looking at the gambling shop where people entered and left, thinking about something.

The gambling god Wen Budao will be escorted to Fenggan Mansion in a few days. There is something strange about it. The person behind it is likely that Qiao Leshan, who is now in charge of the Jinghook Gambling House. For some reason, Qin Xiao only felt that Wen Budao had fallen into an extremely dangerous situation, but he couldn't say how dangerous it was.

Not to mention that he was just a prison guard who was guarding the prison, even Commander Han, he had no right to inquire about the details of the case.

The county magistrate of Zhen County is in Guicheng, and there are six Caos under the county magistrate's mansion. In addition to the execution of Cao, there is still some power. The other Caos are useless. Many local affairs are actually controlled by the Zhen Hou Mansion.

The criminal cases in Zhen County are tried by the Zheng Cao, and the Duwei Mansion's duties are not only to maintain public order in Guicheng, but also to assist the Zheng Cao in arresting and detaining criminals.

With a document from the Xing Cao, he could transfer the criminals in the prison at any time, and the Duwei Mansion had no right to stop him.

Qin Xiao has been in charge of the A-character prison for more than two years. Any prisoner who has been sentenced to the A-character prison will be almost no prisoner who has been transferred from the A-character prison unless he is released after his sentence.

Wei Duwei Han also instructed Qin Xiao several times that the prisoners must be responsible for their duties, but they should not ask the prisoners what case they committed, and should not be involved in the right and wrong of the prisoners.

Qin Xiao also understood the profound meaning behind Han Duwei.

Zhen Hou Mansion's eyes were always staring at the Duwei Mansion, hoping to find a handle for the Duwei Mansion. If the Duwei Mansion is involved in the case, it will inevitably be labeled as abusing power involved by Zhen Hou Mansion, which will of course bring great trouble to the Duwei Mansion.

Wen Budao's case is very strange. Qin Xiao knew in his heart that even if he really figured out the truth behind the case, he might not be able to help, and he would even cause trouble to the Duwei Mansion if he accidentally did.

After working in the Guicheng Prison for several years, Qin Xiao has trained his cleverness to get along with others, but it also made Qin Xiao feel simple. He clearly felt that Wen Budao was in a dangerous situation this time, but he ignored him and ignored him. Qin Xiao really couldn't do it.

He just hopes to know a little bit about the strange things. If he has something to help, he will do his best.

Turtle City is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are many things happening every day. Big and small things will become topics for chatting on the streets and alleys. Wen Budao was once a famous celebrity in Guicheng. It is naturally not a trivial matter to be sent to Fenggan Mansion for retrial. This time, such things often become hot topics in teahouses and restaurants.

However, after walking around several teahouses, I didn't hear anyone talking about Wen Budao.

Qin Xiao already understood in his heart that although the Jia character supervisor received a document to transfer Wen Budao away, the matter did not spread, at least not many people in the market knew about it.

Standing in front of the teahouse, thinking, I suddenly heard a shout from the opposite side. Looking up, a figure flew out of the Jinhook Gambling House, and with a "bang", it landed on the street in front of the door. Then I saw several big men rushing out of the gambling house. Two big men rushed forward, raised their feet and kicked the man lying on the ground. The man hugged his head and wailed.
