In the Jiangdu County Government Prison, in an inconspicuous single cell, a young man with bloody butt and back was passed out on some damp straw.
He has been sleeping all day.
When it was almost dawn, Shen Yi, who had been beaten until he fainted, slowly opened his eyes.
After opening my eyes, I felt severe pain in my back and butt again.
"hiss…"
He took a deep breath, his sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and he suddenly woke up.
Because of his back injury, he was lying on the straw. After opening his eyes, he first looked around at the dark, damp cell with only weak light.
A rotten smell permeated the entire cell.
"No...it's not a dream."
Feeling the clear pain in his body, Shen Yi took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
The memories of Shen Yi from Jiangdu Prefecture in the past seventeen years flashed through his mind one by one.
The causes and consequences of being framed and thrown into prison also flashed through Shen Yi's mind. He lay on the straw, closed his eyes and took several deep breaths, then opened his eyes again to make sure that he was still in this cell and not dreaming. After that, Shen Yi, who looked like a young man, muttered in a low voice.
"Others came through time travel, and the worst thing they could do was to freeze to death in a ruined temple. At least they were still free, but I was better off, half of my life was gone..."
At this time, Shen Yi was still the student of Ganquan Academy, a handsome young man, but in fact, his soul had undergone earth-shaking changes.
A soul from the modern world awakens in the body of this young man who died unjustly and tragically, and inherits all of this young man's memories.
"Fortunately, since I have the same name and surname, there is no need to change my name..."
Shen Yi whispered to himself, and then laughed at himself in a low voice.
"Probably only if you have the same name and surname, it is possible to travel through time..."
Shen Yi is a local entrepreneur in a prefecture-level city in modern society. He mainly operates supermarkets. There are seven or eight small and medium-sized supermarket chains in the local area. He can be regarded as a small and accomplished small boss.
It's a pity that his life was not very good. He developed advanced gastric cancer before he was thirty years old. When he was discovered, it was already at a point where he could only improve his quality of life.
Fortunately, he is not married yet and has no children to worry about.
After being diagnosed, Boss Shen sold his property, said goodbye to his family, and built a wooden house in a deep mountain. He lived alone and recuperated while recuperating.
Last night, the wind in the mountains was so strong that the wooden house he had spent a lot of money to build and decorate was shaken to the point of collapse. Finally, the wooden boards on the wall of the wooden house fell off and hit Shen Yi's back and buttocks, causing him to faint. , when he woke up again, he woke up in the body of young Shen Yi.
Although this process of being reincarnated as a human was a bit scary, after Shen Yi accepted all the memories of another "Shen Yi", it only took him half an hour to initially accept his current identity.
Anyway, because he is terminally ill, he has given all the family property he earned through hard work in another world to his family. Being able to live a new life is certainly not a bad thing for him.
It's just that his current situation can be said to be extremely bad.
After gradually getting used to the severe pain in his back, Shen Yi stood up tentatively. He put his hands on the ground and tried to get up from the ground. As soon as he stood up, Shen Yi felt his knees weaken and fell to the ground again.
He took several deep breaths on the ground, then used both hands to hold the bars of the cell and stood up with all his strength.
After standing up, Shen Yi looked around.
This is the county prison in Jiangdu County. There are about a hundred cells, and half of the cells are occupied. But what is strange is that the cells around Shen Yi are empty, and there is no one there.
He seemed... to have been deliberately isolated here by the people from the county government.
"should…"
Shen Yi used the dim light to look around and murmured: "Maybe he was afraid that I would talk nonsense to the inmates next to me, so he simply left the cells around me empty..."
"There's some trouble."
Because of his butt injury, Shen Yi couldn't sit down at this time, and even squatting was a bit difficult. He could only lie back on the straw, pick up a straw on the straw, and play with it in his hands.
"Now I have two options. The first is to fight with them and refuse to admit guilt."
Shen Yi closed his eyes and silently calculated his current situation in his heart.
Compared with Shen Yi, a young man who was at a loss when something happened, Shen Yi is naturally much calmer now. He needs to understand his current situation as soon as possible and then formulate the next plan.
The first way is to carry it like Shen Yi chose before, until his father comes back from Jinling. It is best to carry it until his uncle knows about it and asks him to hire someone to help.
Because although the Shen family in Jiangdu is not a large family, it can still be called a "gentry" anyway. Of course, the Shen family can only be called a poor family among the gentry.
Even from a poor family, it is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Shen Yi's uncle Shen Hui is a seventh-rank county magistrate in the imperial court, and he is also an official.
"The trouble with this road is that even if my father returns to Jiangdu, or if someone invited by my uncle comes to Jiangdu, they may not be able to help me escape the crime, and..."
Shen Yi lowered his head and fiddled with the straw in his hand, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "And with my current body, I will die after being tortured several times."
"As for the second way...it's to confess."
Yesterday in court, Mr. Feng County Zun already said that as long as he pleads guilty, he will probably not be sentenced to death, but will be sentenced to three thousand miles of exile.
Being exiled for three thousand miles is a huge punishment for people in this era, but for Shen Yi, saving his life is the first priority now, and other things can be done slowly.
Moreover, according to "Shen Yi"'s understanding, the imperial court did have rules for lenient sentences for juvenile crimes, so Magistrate Feng was not completely lying.
"wrong…"
Thinking of this, Shen Yi suddenly remembered something. He couldn't help but shudder and muttered softly.
"They must want me dead!"
"Even if they exile me, they will try their best to kill me. Only when I die will this case be considered completely closed and no one will ever be able to overturn it."
Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help sweating on his forehead.
His current situation is too dangerous. If he is not careful, he will end up in a doomed situation.
While Shen Yi was thinking about things, unknowingly, the sky slowly became brighter.
The door of the prison was slowly opened, and several county government officials who stretched and yawned walked into the cell and began to take over the shift with several government officials who were on night shift yesterday.
Because he didn't understand the situation, Shen Yi could only lie down on the straw and continue to pretend to be dead.
After a while, the cadres finished changing their shifts, and the smell of meat floated into Shen Yi's nose. He pretended not to smell it and continued to close his eyes and pretend to be dizzy.
Then, a middle-aged man's voice came.
"Master Shen, Master Shen."
A county jail officer squatted at the door of Shen Yi's cell with a delicate lunch box in his hand, a smile on his face.
"Mr. Shen, someone has brought you food. Eat it while it's hot."
After saying this, he opened the lunch box and revealed a whole roast chicken in the lunch box.
"Someone is trying to poison me!"
This was Shen Yi's first reaction.
At this moment, Shen Yi, who had just arrived here not long ago, felt his scalp was numb. He closed his eyes tightly again, pretending not to hear and not daring to make any sound.
