Yuan Song, who had been rich for half his life, was awakened by the burning heat in his stomach.
When I opened my eyes, I still saw the dark cell in front of me. I just wanted to close my eyes and continue to sleep, never to wake up again.
Two "dang-dang" sounds and the sound of a hammer hitting an iron basin came from outside the cell, and Yuan Song felt happy.
He got up skillfully and rushed to the cell door. He saw the cell door open, dazzling light coming in, and two Fire Kang Gang disciples armed with swords walking in carrying a bucket of food.
The rangers locked in the cell stretched out their pottery bowls, "Give me, brother, give me more!"
Yuan Song maintained his dignity and just looked at the door, instead of asking for it like the other knights.
He just hoped that the two Huokang Gang disciples would not ignore him like they did the previous two days and only give him water but no food.
However, Yuan Song's fantasy was shattered.
The two Huokang Gang disciples were the first to come to him. They did not let him scoop out any of the hot porridge in the bucket, and only handed him half a bucket of water.
Knowing that this unkempt middle-aged uncle was Jizhou Mu, the two Huokang Gang disciples were filled with sighs.
"Feng shui has changed, and I'm not used to seeing these powerful people in cells." A disciple of the Huokang Gang said with emotion.
The companion poked him with his elbow to signal him not to talk nonsense in there.
Recalling the eight-point discipline list just issued by the leader, the two Huokang Gang disciples quickly shut up and only followed the rules to scoop up food for the rangers in the cell who were waiting to be dealt with.
As for those rangers who wanted to make friends and asked for half a spoon more, the two Huokang Gang disciples just pretended not to hear them and gave them as much as they should. There were rules to follow and there was no room for chaos.
Yuan Song held the warm bamboo tube and watched the two Huo Kang Gang disciples leave with the empty buckets. The cell door was closed and the room fell into darkness again. He did not have the courage to open his mouth and ask: Have you forgotten that there is still someone who has no food to eat?
!
Looking at the bamboo tube in his hand, Yuan Song's eyes were red. He didn't know whether it was hatred or grievance. Anyway, he felt very uncomfortable.
He knew that Xu Qingyang must have deliberately wanted to humiliate him. The reason why he did not kill him was because he was still useful.
He knew the prison in Hejian County very well. It had been in disrepair for a long time, and he didn't pay much attention to it. It just became more and more dilapidated.
If he had known this, he should have allocated money to repair the cell, and he would not have ended up sleeping in the same nest with snakes, insects, rats and ants today.
However, looking at the crowded cells next door and opposite, Yuan Song secretly felt lucky that at least he had a single cell.
In the past two days, there have been a lot of noises coming from outside the non-soundproof cell.
On the day he was captured by the resentful Xu Qingyang, he heard the sound of fierce fighting between the two armies coming from outside the city.
It was expected that Wang Yan and others gathered five thousand soldiers from the military camp and planned to enter the city to rescue him.
I just didn't expect that these five thousand soldiers could not defeat the two Xu brothers and sisters.
It is said that the two sons of gods appeared at that time. The battlefield was filled with black fog and ghosts were raging. His five thousand soldiers were defeated and fled.
Yuan Song eagerly waited for the soldiers to break into the city and rescue him from the sea of misery, but the only thing he waited for was the "good news" that the two sons of gods showed their talents and recovered thousands of followers.
The next day, the city became busy. Some were cleaning the battlefield, and some were distributing food to appease the people. The female leader of the Xu family personally ordered the execution of Mo Xiaocheng, who did not follow the rules of the Xu family's army and killed innocent people indiscriminately and disrupted order.
At the same time, several leading rangers were also dealt with.
What is left in the cell now is being interrogated by Huokang Gang disciples every day.
Anyone who has killed innocent people in the city or robbed merchants in violation of regulations will be killed without mercy!
If he did not collude with Mo Xiaocheng and others, but made a small mistake out of necessity, he would be sent to the mines and become a miner.
While investigating these rangers, a massive disinfection and sanitation work was also carried out in the city.
Yuan Song remembered that the first day he arrived in this cell, the horrible stench knocked him out.
When he woke up, the appearance of the cell had changed. The dirt on the floor had been cleaned up, and the floor was wet. It was obvious that it had just been washed.
After that, every morning and evening, disciples from the Huokang Gang would come over carrying a strange water tank and spray alcohol for disinfection.
Now the whole cell smelled faintly of alcohol, so extravagant that even the nobleman Yuan Song was shocked.
How much food does Xu Jiajun have? He is actually willing to make this luxurious alcohol for disinfection?
It's a pity that Xu Yue has been so busy these days that she doesn't have time to show off to Yuan Song. She doesn't do much else but drinks a lot.
Some of the alcohol is purified and produced by the chemical plant of the medical school of Xujiazhuang University, and some of it comes from the pharmacy of Xujiazhuang Health Center.
Xu Yue has always put health issues first, just because she had seen too many tragedies caused by the plague, and now she has formed a habit.
Yuan Song drank the warm water boiled in the bamboo tube, feeling even more uncomfortable in his stomach. He stared at the cell fence in confusion, hallucinating, roast duck, roast chicken, minced meat, sweet soup...
No, he couldn't help it anymore. If he continued like this, he would starve to death in this dark cell sooner or later!
Yuan Song finished the water in the bamboo tube in one gulp, stood up in a hurry, knocked on the cell door, and while knocking, he used his last bit of strength to shout:
"I want to see Xu Yue! Take me to see Xu Yue!"
As for why he wanted to see Xu Yue instead of Xu Qingyang, it was because Yuan Song knew in his heart that what awaited him when he saw Xu Qingyang was only humiliation and revenge.
And Xu Yue is the leader. Even if Xu Qingyang wants to retaliate and torture him, he will have to take it easy no matter what if he gets the leader's forgiveness.
The banging banging sound attracted the attention of the Huokang Gang disciple who was guarding the door. The cell door opened wide, and a Huokang Gang disciple walked in with a dark face.
"What are you shouting for? Be quiet!"
"What did you say?" The superiors specifically told him to pay attention to Yuan Song's every move, so the disciples of the Huokang Gang frowned and asked.
Yuan Song held the cell door with both hands and said feebly: "I want to see Xu Yue and I have something important to tell her."
The Huokang Gang disciple frowned, "The leader has been very busy these past two days and has no time to see you!"
After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave. A hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his clothes, "Wait a minute, little brother, please go and inform me."
A hard object was stuffed into his arms. The Huokang Gang disciples looked down and saw that it was a white jade pendant.
"Help me, I'll give you a reward when the job is done." Yuan Song looked over expectantly.
The disciples from the Huokang Gang glanced at him. He was an old man with unkempt hair and a disheveled face. He did look a little pitiful.
He took off the white jade pendant, shook off Yuan Song's hand, and strode away without saying anything.
When Yuan Song saw him accepting the gift, he thought he had agreed, and his eyes sparkled with hope.
After the cell door was closed, the guarding Huokang Gang disciple took the white jade pendant and looked at it. He didn't see any clues. He only knew that this thing should be worth a lot of money.
There was no greed in the disciple's eyes, he just played with it curiously for a while. When the person who changed the shift came over, he took the jade pendant and found Xu Yue who was supervising the beheading at the entrance of the vegetable market.
