Hua Xiaogu raised his head and looked over, knowing in his heart that it must be the scholar's mother, the old woman he met last time.
Sure enough, after a while, the woman rushed outside the railing, followed by a prison guard: "My poor son! We will be able to go out in a while, go back and get grapefruit water to wash away this bad luck!"
As the woman spoke, the prison guard behind her became a little impatient: "Get out of the way quickly, I will open the cell door. Don't stop me from doing things, I am still very busy."
With that said, the prison guard pushed the woman aside, took down a bunch of keys from her waist, rummaged for a long time, and then slowly opened the cell door.
Looking at the scholar again, he was so excited that his whole body trembled slightly: "Mom? What's going on?"
The woman did not answer the scholar immediately, but took out another broken piece of silver from her arms and stuffed it into the arms of the warden: "Sorry, sir, sorry, sir."
The prison officer secretly touched the small piece of silver in his arms, and then a smile appeared on his face: "It's okay, there has been a chaos in the capital recently, and we are also under the emperor's orders, so something will always go wrong in a hurry. Let's check now
Now that we know what happened to your family, we will naturally let the innocent people out."
As he said that, the prison guard glanced at the other people in the prison who were looking at this place eagerly at the moment, and added with a half-smile: "If you want to come out early, you still have to find someone to check your case as soon as possible.
…”
The scholar was just about to leave the cell, but he paused. He turned his head and looked at Hua Xiaogu, and then bowed down: "Your Majesty, please accept my worship!"
Hua Xiaogu quickly waved her hand feebly. She had just drank a bowl of porridge in two days, and now she almost had no energy to laugh: "It's okay, it's okay. This is your own life. What does it have to do with me. Go out and talk to you."
Let’s get together, mothers.”
The scholar stood up and nodded: "I will see you again." After saying that, he walked out of the cell and took the old woman's hand.
When the prison guard saw the person coming out, he closed the cell door again, tied the chain, and locked it.
The scholar turned back three times step by step, and finally left the cell with the old woman.
The whole cell gradually became silent again. Some people were hopeful and waiting for their families to pick them up, while others were ashen-faced and continued to wait in the prison to die.
About an hour later, the cell gradually became lively again.
Hua Xiaogu was a little weak. She leaned softly in the corner, thinking that maybe people from other cells were taking their relatives out one after another...
Lan Qing, when will you pick me up?
Just as he was thinking about it, Manager Hu next to him suddenly stood up: "Nian Qiu! Why are you here?"
Hua Xiaogu turned around and looked over. It was a woman who looked to be in her thirties, being brought over by the prison guards.
Manager Hu squeezed out of the crowd and walked in that direction.
The woman sent a blessing to the prison, and then held Guanshi Hu's hand through the prison bars: "I'm here to take you home. We can go out in a while."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the prison was startled.
How could it be that someone from Guanshi Hu’s family came to pick him up? Isn’t he the shopkeeper of the Tian family?
"What...what's going on?" Manager Hu was also confused and asked stammering: "Where is the master? Where is the eldest young master?"
Manager Hu's wife sighed softly, then turned around and stuffed a piece of silver into the prison guard's hand. The prison guard put the silver in his hand and weighed it, then turned around and said: "I got the wrong key, I'll be back soon."
