Chapter 89: There Are Always Several Animals in the World
Finished.
Li Xiang's task today is not to patrol the streets, but to go to the prison to guard the prisoners.
Three days after taking office, Li Xiang was very curious about everything about Jin Yiwei.
Unlike other muddle-headed old fritters, who work as a monk and hit the clock every day.
Pay for meals, don't go to brothels.
Patrol conscientiously and teach the gangsters with backgrounds on the streets...
It’s just that no one took it seriously.
There are many experienced people like him in Jinyiwei.
Who has just entered society and is not a passionate young man with ideals and ambitions?
I want to live a pure and honest life, and be fair and righteous.
But after being severely beaten by society, not all people become so-called mature people who follow the crowd.
Prisoners only have one meal each in the morning and evening.
Li Xiang was responsible for dinner, which was extremely thin porridge with a few pieces of salty radish.
T-shaped prison.
While serving porridge to the prisoners, Li Xiang asked curiously: "What crime did you commit?"
There are too many prisoners in this cell.
The person who asked the question looked at him timidly and did not dare to answer.
Li Xiang felt something was a little strange. He asked several people in succession but did not get the answer he wanted.
No one even dared to answer.
"I don't know. I was eating noodles when I was suddenly caught."
At this time, a voice sounded faintly.
Li Xiang looked around and saw a man leaning against the wall. The porridge in his hand had already reached the bottom.
A blind man?
"Tell me carefully."
Li Pingan pointed to his bowl.
Li Xiang then served him another bowl.
Li Pingan drank the porridge carefully, leaving not a drop left.
Then he licked his lips again, "I seem to smell the smell of white-flour steamed buns."
Li Xiang hesitated for a moment and handed the dinner in his hand to the other party.
Li Ping'an took the steamed buns and said slowly: "There is an important case in the city, and the superiors are furious.
Let Jin Yiwei clean up the security and catch more prisoners to show to the superiors.
The Jin Yiwei captured some ordinary people and used them to make up for their numbers.
The luckier ones could escape death and spend a few days in jail before being released.
Unfortunately, he may even lose his life."
Li Ping'an stayed here for a night and learned a lot of news.
"Lawless!"
Li Xiang stood up angrily,
Li Pingan said calmly: "Don't tell others that I told you this."
"I'll go find them!"
Li wanted to finish, turned around and left.
Li Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief and didn't hold out much hope.
Just as he was about to deal with the white-faced steamed bun in his hand, he suddenly felt a hot gaze.
The little girl's big watery eyes were staring at Li Pingan, or to be precise, it was the steamed bun in Li Pingan's hand.
After being patted by her mother, the little girl looked away and buried her head in the bowl.
Drinking rice porridge that tastes like water.
Li Ping'an smiled and broke the steamed bun in his hand into two halves.
Hand half to her.
The little girl was stunned, blinked her big eyes, pursed her lips but did not dare to reach out to pick it up.
The mother on the side said: "We don't want to eat, you can eat."
"It's okay, I'm full."
The little girl looked at her mother, and after getting her mother's permission, she timidly reached out and took the bun.
He said crisply: "Thank you."
Life in prison is boring.
In addition to relieving himself at a fixed time, he just sat in a daze in the cell.
Or tease the little girl named Tao'er.
Li Ping'an drew a nine-square grid on the ground and taught Tao'er how to play three-piece chess.
Both sides place stones on the nine-square chessboard in turn, and the first one to line up three of their stones is considered the winner.
This game is very simple. Once you master the rules, both sides can get a draw most of the time.
.........
On the third day.
A group of people were driven through the corridor by Jin Yiwei. After turning a corner, they found an alley about one meter wide.
On both sides of the alley are two rows of low prison cells, where ordinary miscellaneous prisoners are imprisoned.
At the south end of the alley, turning at a right angle to the east, is the internal prison, which is dedicated to the detention of felons on death row.
A group of people squatted on both sides of the house, anxiously awaiting their fate.
From time to time, howling sounds could be heard in the hall, as well as the sound of a board being dropped on the buttocks.
Those who listened shuddered.
Several royal guards were walking around, discussing which brothel had a new girl.
He whispered to himself about who the scapegoat would be this year, and even made a bet.
Li Pingan listened indifferently.
The alley is very short, but the eaves block most of the sunlight.
Darkness looms in every corner.
Li Xiang, the young guard in Jinyi beside him, had a gloomy face and tightened his grip on the knife.
I must have gone to file a complaint yesterday, but I hit a snag.
Li Pingan can think of it even with his knees.
At this time, a man wearing a flying fish suit walked in.
"For your humble job, please see Mr. Baihu!"
The Jin Yiwei all bent down and bowed their hands in salute.
Zhang Gong nodded slightly, "How was the trial?"
"Several of them have already been identified."
Zhang Gong showed a satisfied expression, "Well, well done, this year's target has been achieved.
Brothers have been working hard these days, so I invite them to drink tonight."
After Zhang Gong finished speaking, he glanced casually.
His eyes fell on a girl squatting aside.
With a glance, his men immediately picked out the girl named Tao'er.
Li Xiang's face suddenly changed, as if he had realized something, "Sir, what are you doing?"
Zhang Gong glanced at Li Xiang in surprise and said coldly: "Are you talking to me?"
The air around me seemed to have solidified a bit.
Zhang Gong is not an ordinary hundred households.
Grandpa was appointed as the envoy to Jinyiwei Town, although he has now retired.
But his father and two uncles both worked in Jinyiwei.
The level is not low, a proper second-generation official.
Li Xiang was not afraid at all, "Sir, I found out yesterday that these are innocent people.
Jinyiwei, led by Zhang Da, gathered people to frame innocent people.
What you are taking away now is a thirteen-year-old child."
These words immediately offended all the colleagues around him.
Everyone stared at Li Xiang viciously.
Zhang Gong sneered, "Do you have the final say whether you are innocent or not? May I ask what level you are now?
Could it be that he has become the commander of the Jin Yiwei?"
The colleagues around him laughed, this newcomer is looking for death!
"What does the superior want to do? Do I need to report to you?"
As Zhang Gong spoke, he poked Li Xiang's shoulder hard with his finger.
He poked him until he staggered back a few steps.
Li Xiang bit the bullet and said, "I suspect that you are up to something evil."
Zhang Gong laughed in anger, kicked open the door of the side room, and threw the girl in.
"Get some brothers in here and let this criminal enjoy himself!"
