After coming out of the prince's place, Wang Xian adjusted his mood before going home to visit his parents and brothers.
The family already knew that he was back and had already prepared a banquet waiting for him. Seeing his close relatives, Wang Xian completely put all those troubles behind and had a beautiful reunion dinner with his family.
During the dinner, I couldn't talk about her granddaughter. She asked how much she weighed, who she looked like, and complained that Wang Xian didn't bring the child back to her. At the end, she couldn't help but sigh.
What has happened to my old Wang family in the past few years? The eldest has given birth to two daughters, and the second has another daughter... But it is said that the Hou family gave birth to another daughter last year, and because her presence was too weak, she did not explain it.
Wang Xian smiled and said: "Mom, that's wrong. Didn't you give us a younger brother last year?"
One sentence made Wang Gui's father spray a mouthful of wine in Wang Gui's face, and his mother's face turned red with shame. She scolded Wang Xian and said: "You are a high official now, why are you still acting like a monkey?"
"Even if I become prime minister, I'm not still your son." Wang Xian said with a smile.
"That's right." My anger turned into joy, and she said to the pregnant Lin Qing'er: "There are no more than three things, and we can't do more than four things. I can see clearly that this baby will definitely be a boy."
Lin Qing'er suddenly felt a lot of pressure and shook Wang Xian's hand under the table. Wang Xian smiled knowingly and said: "Mom, it's good to be normal. Even if you are a daughter again, it's fine."
"Well, I have an ordinary mind. The days are still long anyway, so I don't believe that I can have eight girls in a row!" I said confidently.
The family talked and laughed until late at night.
Under the moonlight, Wang Xian supported Lin Qing'er, who had difficulty walking, for a walk in the hospital. Lin Qing'er was very concerned about Baoyin's condition, and asked very detailed questions about her prenatal condition and postpartum recovery.
Wang Xian knew that in addition to caring, she also wanted to learn from the scriptures, so he told her Baoyin's situation in detail. Who knew that it wouldn't matter if she kept going, Lin Qing'er was so frightened that her hands and feet trembled, "
Officer, Baoyin is so strong and giving birth is so dangerous, I am so weak, I am afraid it will be even more difficult for me to withstand it, right?"
Wang Xian hurriedly put his arms around his wife's plump waist and comforted her softly: "She should have been very relaxed, but before the birth, the tribe suffered a sudden change and a powerful enemy invaded, so she had to move for refuge, which hurt her body and made her tired.
, it turned out that the fetus was moved, and the baby was born prematurely, which is why it was so dangerous." He said with a smile: "You can rest assured in the capital and nurse yourself back to health, no matter how windy or rainy it is outside, I will protect you, but you will be much better than her.
.”
"Hey, it's not easy for Sister Baoyin..." Perhaps because of their shared experience, Lin Qing'er's acceptance of Baoyin has gone from a voluntary level to an emotional one.
"Yes." Wang Xian sighed: "It's not easy for her, and it's not easy for you either..."
"It's even more difficult for officials." Lin Qing'er said softly.
"What's not easy for me?" Wang Xian laughed and said, "I don't have to be pregnant for ten months or give birth."
"I also know a little about the things outside." Lin Qing'er said quietly: "I have told my servants not to go out as much as possible, and I will try my best to have the goods delivered to my door whenever I need to buy something."
"What a good wife!" Wang Xian praised, nodded and said: "You are right to do this. Now that the emperor is not in the capital, it seems that there are no tigers in the mountain. Some people are so anxious that they can do anything. I
I will tell my family later and try not to go out to avoid any unexpected events."
"Will the official be in danger?" A wife is always most concerned about her husband.
"I'm fine. After all, I'm an official of the imperial court. They can't deal with me directly." Wang Xian comforted his wife and said, "In short, it will be a year and a half at most. In the past period, the world will be at peace."
"Yes." Lin Qing'er nodded obediently and leaned lightly in her husband's arms. "You don't have to worry about family matters. With Yin Ling helping to share the burden, I won't be tired."
"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am...".
Usually when people think of imperial prisons, they immediately think of the gloomy gray-blue building in Fusi Yamen in Beizhen. But in fact, as long as they are prisons established by the emperor, they can be collectively called imperial prisons.
Because of the emperor's edict that "chivalrous people use martial arts to break the ban," the martial arts people and gang leaders in the world suffered disaster. They were arrested by local officials and sent to Beijing, where they were imprisoned in the imperial prison specially designed for them by Fusi in Beizhen.
Although these special cells are also called imperial prisons, they are as good as heaven and earth compared to the gloomy dungeons with clanging iron bars in Beizhen Fusi. Although there are high walls covered with thorns outside, the high walls
The cells inside are rows of brick buildings with good lighting and ventilation. Those locked inside can also go to the yard to get some fresh air.
The cell was a Datong bunk, but the bedding and bedding were all new. The food was two dry and one dilute every day. There were meat and vegetables at noon and evening, and there were enough white flour steamed buns. Moreover, no one interrogated or tortured. There was only a small boy.
The fat man would come to see someone every day to drink tea and chat...
Many of the Jianghu people and gang members who were imprisoned in it had been in various state and county jails, including the Sky Prison of the Ministry of Punishment and the Imperial Prison of the Zhenfu Division. They all came with the idea of going to hell.
Who would have thought that apart from having no freedom, it would feel like entering heaven. After more than twenty days, most of these guys have gained a lot of weight, and they have never experienced such nourishment from squatting in a prison.
At first they were worried that if the pigs were fattened, they would have to wait for the New Year to eat meat. What did the imperial court want to do by fattening them? But Wu Wei kept talking, and they dispelled their doubts and knew that the imperial court actually wanted to recruit them to serve.
plan.
This realization made many people secretly make calculations. Most of the guys who were imprisoned had no government backers in their place of origin and were tricked by their colleagues. They had suffered enough and had no backers, and now there are actually
By giving Beizhen Fusi a chance to do things, wouldn't it mean that the imperial court has become his biggest backer? Such good things are hard to find even with a lantern, but for them to have a pie fall from the sky, it is really a blessing in disguise.
Woolen cloth……
Of course, there are also those who don’t want to be the court’s hawks and want to return to their hometowns for revenge. These people are obviously living too comfortably and have forgotten their status as prisoners. To these people, Wu Wei only said a word, not to do anything for the court, but to go to the real world.
He was ordered to go to jail... Immediately he ran out of ideas and obediently agreed to work for the court.
So by now, almost everyone's work has been completed. Most people have made up their minds to join the army. A small number of people are reluctant and dare not talk nonsense anymore. It's just that Mr. Wu doesn't count. He says it's okay.
We have to wait for the governor to come and interview everyone.
After having a full meal at noon that day, a group of people from all walks of life and gang bosses sat under the high walls of the prison.
Basking in the sun and bragging has always been the highest enjoyment for prisoners. Although they were all persons of status before, once they are in prison, they will not be exempted from the same.
And because they are all people of high status, they pay more attention to their superiority than ordinary prisoners. For example, the best row of seats under the south wall are the seats reserved for the thirteen most prominent bosses with the highest martial arts skills.
In order to fight for one of the seats, these gangsters went through countless civil and military struggles before finally settling on these thirteen top spots.
Sitting as the first son is Long Wu, a serious leader of the Pai Gang, who is nicknamed "Dragon Crossing the River". When he is outside, he has more than a thousand subordinates. On the water surface of Huguang, his words are more effective than those of the government. It is said that
With his status, there was no way he would be caught and put in jail this time. Unfortunately, his prestige had threatened the leader of the platoon gang. As a result, he was tricked by the leader and took several of his younger brothers to the main helm to discuss matters. As a result, the gang leader
Before he could enter, he was arrested by the officials and sent to Beijing overnight without even giving his brothers a chance to rescue him.
The person sitting second to the left of Long Wu is Hu Sandao, the famous bandit leader in Shandong. This guy is also very powerful. He has two thousand bandits. In fact, Shandong Anchasi didn't want to catch him, but this
The eldest brother is used to being arrogant all the time and acts too openly. Hearing that the most famous Qinghuan in Jinan Prefecture, Sai Xiangu, was going to show off, he pretended to be a businessman and entered Jinan City. He desperately wanted to comb the flowers on the ground in Shandong. The result was that
He was recognized by his enemies and caught red-handed on Aunt Sai's bed.
Shandong Anchasi accidentally caught such a big fish, and their first reaction was not happiness, but fear. They were worried that the thieves under Hu Sandao would come to rescue them, so they dared not imprison this hot potato, but they could not let him go.
It just so happened that the imperial court issued this life-saving decree, and the inspector sent him to the capital overnight without even interrogating him.
It is said that Hu Sandao's strength and reputation are no less than that of Long Wuye. We are a dragon in the river and a tiger in the land. It is difficult to distinguish him. But the reputation of Long Wuye as a hero has spread throughout the martial arts world, and his reputation is better than that of Hu San.
Dao, the leader of thieves who robbed houses, was much better. So with everyone's support, Long Wuye took the top spot, and Hu Sandao had to settle for second place. This made Hu Sanye, who was used to being the boss, not happy.
As for the person sitting on Master Long Wu’s right hand, he is the rising star of the famous salt gang, Deng Xiaoxian. This private salt dealer has only emerged in the past two years. He once monopolized private salt in Henan, and he also had ambitions to join the salt industry in Lianghuai. Naturally.
This caused great dissatisfaction among the old private salt dealers. This time, taking advantage of the severe crackdown by the court, they jointly sent him to the capital...
It is said that Deng Xiaoxian's strength is not weaker than the first two, and his financial resources far exceed them. He is also young and energetic, and he is even more unconvinced. However, he is a very reflective person. As soon as he was arrested, he realized that he had
He was too eager to get to the top and looked too ugly, which made the old guys attack him. So he learned from the experience, corrected his mistakes, and made up his mind to respect the elders and keep a low profile. Therefore, instead of fighting with the two bosses, he opposed them
They both respected each other very much. When they had quarrels, he would always be the one to break up the fight with Xi Ni. Therefore, the two eldest brothers liked him very much, and they often expressed the intention of pulling him together to deal with the other.
At this time, Deng Xiaoxian always advised the two eldest brothers to focus on the overall situation. What is the overall situation? That is, everyone is in prison now, what is there to fight for? If you fight back and forth, don't you just become a prison bully? In short, you are the inmate.
Let’s stay here and cherish it...
It was obvious that he was fighting with Xini, but the two bosses valued him more and more. It must be said that the power of reflection is infinite. Deng Xiaoxian said to himself that if I had been like this before, I wouldn't have been rushed to jail. It's a pity that life can't be repeated. , we can only endure it day by day to see if there is a chance to regain freedom...
