It was dark in the cell. I don't know how much time passed. I had eaten two or three meals. It was probably a day. Su Jin felt very anxious.
Judging from what Chen Laogen learned last night, Zhu Shiyong most likely had some hand in the transportation of grain. He sent a large amount of grain transportation to Suzhou through an official mission for no reason. This in itself is unreasonable.
The matter of transporting grain had nothing to do with Suzhou Yamen, so why did Zhu Shiyong send a letter to Suzhou?
Moreover, it was mentioned in the letter that the grain was transported to Suzhou, which was even more strange. He ordered the messenger to pass down Bagong Mountain, but told the messenger that the bandits in Bagong Mountain had disappeared and that it was very safe. This was clearly misleading Mr. Chen.
Gen, I am afraid that the intention was not because the letter was urgent, but because the messenger was deliberately allowed to be caught by the bandits.
Five hundred thousand stones of grain, such a big piece of fat, how could the bandits let it go? If Zhu Shiyong was saying this was a trick to lure troops, it can be explained, but he did not secretly mobilize troops to protect the grain team, but let it go
The bandits robbed the grain. There can only be one explanation for these circumstances. Zhu Shiyong deliberately allowed the bandits to rob the grain.
But it is not difficult to judge who he is dealing with? He became the food envoy. In the eyes of Zhu Shiyong and the Chamber of Commerce, this was a threat to them. He messed up his job and was exhausted in the messy Yangzhou city. In the end,
Letting the court punish and remove people from office is their purpose.
If they know that they have opened warehouses and put out military rations in advance, they are afraid that they will do so even more, which will cost their lives, rather than just punishing and dismissing them; even if their original intention is to ruin their job, but from the consequences
It seems that this is killing him. Su Jin is more eager to escape than ever. He wants to settle the score with these scumbags.
Now that witness Chen Laogen is here, as long as he finds the undocumented letter in the village, it will be enough to send Zhu Shiyong to the eighteenth level of hell forever. But the question is, how can he escape from the prison he is now trapped in?
Woolen cloth?
Su Jin thought hard, and now the only breakthrough is Qiu Dabao, the second in charge. Judging from various performances, Qiu Dabao and Shen Yaozu are not harmonious. Shen Yaozu made him the second in charge, but actually did not treat him as a confidant. Maybe it was
Some of Qiu Dabao's abilities and influence made Shen Yaozu feel that they were worth using, so he gave him a false name. In the Juyi Hall last night, Diao Mazi's words to Qiu Dabao had actually leaked out. Qiu Dabao
You don't know this.
Moreover, Su Jin believed that even if he and Qiu Dabao could not come to an agreement, Qiu Dabao would never betray himself to Shen Yaozu, which would not be of much help to his situation. Therefore, relatively speaking, the safety of failing to instigate rebellion is still guaranteed.
, he will not be executed immediately. No matter how bad the situation is, he will just maintain the status quo.
Su Jin made up his mind that he could not wait any longer, but it had been a day, and no one from the second boss was seen. The food for three meals was pretty good, with vegetables and meat. The bandit jailer also threw in a quilt for the three of them.
Much more comfortable.
From Qi Laosi's cursing words, Su Jin could tell that Qiu Dabao ordered them to do this, which meant that Qiu Dabao was secretly paying attention to them.
Not long after the third meal, Su Jin finally heard the sound he wanted to hear. The wooden door of the cell was pushed open, footsteps sounded, and someone came in; Su Jin huddled under the quilt and you peeked out of the wooden fence. Qiu
Dabao walked in carrying a jar of wine and a deer's leg, and there was no one behind him.
Qi Laosi and others hurriedly greeted him: "The second master is here, come as soon as he comes, why do you bring wine?"
"The second boss is just polite. He always thinks about us brothers and knows how hard we are."
"That's right, the second master's benevolence and righteousness are much better than those of some people."
Qiu Dabao laughed and said: "If you eat well, you can speak well. You three guys are getting more and more talkative. There are some things you shouldn't say nonsense."
"Yes, yes, the second master is talking about that... Ma Lao San, set up the pot, boil the soup, and ask Lao Si to wash and peel the deer's legs, and let's make a midnight snack."
Qi Lao Si stopped working and said with a crooked mouth: "Hey, Fatty Huang, you assigned me and Lao San to do decent work. We have done all the work, what are you doing?"
Fatty Huang let out a sigh and said, "You are just so careless. Why don't I talk to the second master now?"
"Is it just you who keeps your mouth open? I can't talk to the second boss?"
"Just you? Those big yellow teeth of yours can't make the second-in-charge Xun pass out. When you eat meat, you have to make a bowl of meat by yourself. Don't use your chopsticks to stir it up in the pot. I'm very disgusted. "
"Fuck you, sister, are you so harmful to others?"
Qiu Dabao laughed loudly and said: "You three are real treasures. Damn, I haven't exhausted myself to death today. The officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain kept making noises, but they didn't dare to attack the mountain. They were making a lot of noise down there. I'm here." After staying at the foot of the mountain for a whole day, all the bones in my body fell apart."
Fatty Huang smiled apologetically and said, "It's just that the dog officers and soldiers are incompetent and will just mess around. If it hadn't been for the instructions from the boss, our copycat brothers would have rushed in and taken care of them all."
Qiu Dabao said: "It's true to brag. There are fifteen thousand officers and soldiers under the mountain. You have eight heads and they can't chop them off. The officers and soldiers seem to be serious now. Last night, brothers from the mountain came to report and there were more people." There are many officers and soldiers."
Fatty Huang said worriedly: "If this continues, can our village be saved?"
Qiu Dabao sighed: "I can't think too much about drinking and getting drunk today. Otherwise, why would I come to drink with you tonight? I'm just so upset."
Qi Laosi was busy at work and said: "Second master, you don't have to worry. It's just our cottage. Not to mention fifteen thousand, twenty thousand officers and soldiers are given for free. Climbing up these three levels, if we don't use dead people as cliffs, we won't be able to climb up at all." We can't come up; we have obtained hundreds of thousands of stones of food, which even for humans and mice will not be able to eat it for several years. Don't worry, the boss is smarter than anyone else. If you can't hold on, you will have to recruit more people. Already."
Qiu Dabao smiled and said, "That's true. The boss is here, so we don't have to worry about anything. Let's relax, drink, eat, and sleep."
The three bandits nodded in agreement. Qiu Dabao glanced at the fence where Su Jin and others were imprisoned, seemingly unintentionally, and said casually: "The prisoners are still alive."
Fatty Huang said: "Second Master, don't worry, this is an iron cage. No matter how powerful they are, they can't escape. By the way, the three of us brothers only have dead ones in our hands, but no escapes."
Qiu Dabao nodded and said: "Then I can rest assured. It's just a joke, but don't make any mistakes, especially those three officials. If you lose a hair, the master will never forgive me, and I will never forgive you."
Fatty Huang smiled and said: "Don't worry, let alone hair, there will be even a bird feather."
The earthen pot was placed on the stove, and the water inside started to boil in a short time. The three jailers were used to stealing, and even prepared the ingredients properly. They washed the deer legs in the basin and stuffed them into the big bowl.
In the earthen pot, sprinkle with salt and stew.
The four of them sat chatting, and the topic could not be separated from women. After a while, the aroma of meat from the earthen pot filled the cell. Ma Han, who was lying in the haystack, felt like a cat scratching his heart. He couldn't help but inflame his nose and smell it.
, but he no longer dared to ask for meat with a shameless face like last night. The young master was already angry, and Ma Han did not dare to play any more tricks.
The meat was rotten and the pot was boiling. Qiu Dabao and the three bandits ate the meat and drank wine. They drank and chewed with relish. After a while, the two cans of strong liquor and the pot of meat were all gone. The four of them were all drunk. Huang
The fat man belched and said with a loud tongue: "It's so...pleasant. The meat from the yellow deer's legs is really...so damn delicious, but brother...my stomach can't be filled. I'm so sleepy. Let's go and squint first."
A while."
Qiu Dabao waved his hand and said: "Go...go, I'm...I'm full too, I'm going back to sleep."
The three of them staggered up and saw each other off. Qiu Dabao waved his hand and said: "No... no, please rest early."
After saying that, they turned around and staggered out. The three people watched Qiu Dabao leave the cell, closed the wooden door tightly, and crawled onto the bed dizzily. Soon they started snoring, and they slept like dead pigs.
Su Jin watched all this secretly. He watched with his own eyes as Qiu Dabao spit out a bone every time he took a sip of wine, and spit out most of the wine in his mouth. He knew that Qiu Dabao must have intentions, and he wanted to talk to him in the first place.
Wouldn't it be better if he took the initiative to speak.
After the three jailors fell asleep, Su Jin climbed up and sat up. Chao Chao said softly: "Master, sleep."
Su Jin said softly: "Lie down immediately and pretend to be asleep. Don't get up unless I tell you. Don't ruin my important event."
Dynasty Mahan was confused. At this moment, there was a soft click on the wooden door outside the cell. Su Jin quickly pushed Dynasty Mahan down, and Qiu Dabao was heard burping wine and saying vaguely: "Mother, mother."
...I don’t remember things long after drinking. I forgot to take my knife..." dd
