There are only a dozen temporary cells in Dongchang. At this moment, seven of them have been "occupied".
Lin Shangli walked in the front, followed by Xiao Chen and Duan Tianming.
"Mr. Factory Master, did Huang Anliang really have a relationship with you?" Xiao Chen asked as he walked.
"Well, I met him once, and he even gave me a piece of jade." Lin Shangli said with a smile.
Xiao Chenhuai chuckled: "You are accepting bribes."
"Hahaha." Lin Shangli stopped with his hands behind his back and looked back at Xiao Chen who was smiling evilly behind him, "I regret becoming a family with you now. When we were not familiar with each other, you were quite polite. Now that we are familiar with each other, you are very polite."
The evil intention of the belly."
"Today, I know that the moment you woke up Little Plum, I completely treated you as a family member. Now, even if you regret it, it's too late." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Lin Shangli glared: "What do you mean, you haven't regarded me as a family member before? Then my table of precious seafood is in vain?"
"A true man cannot be subdued by force, nor by wealth, nor by poverty, nor by poverty. How can you buy me off with just one meal?" Xiao Chen laughed.
"You are really a tough guy." They rolled their eyes at him and the three of them continued walking forward.
Just as he was about to reach the door of the cell, Xiao Chen stopped.
"Mr. Factory Master, are we running out of cells in the East Factory? There are only a dozen or so in total, and there are already seven people living in them. If the cell breaks even a little, there will be no room for this cell."
"Well, this is really a problem. I originally thought that if there were more people, I could live in a cell with a few more people. Now it seems that I didn't think carefully enough at the beginning. For ordinary prisoners, it's okay to be crowded, but we
Dongchang people are guilty, which one is not crucial. One is the safety issue, and the other is to prevent them from colluding in confession. Tomorrow, I will report this issue."
Lin Shangli nodded and said.
There is an observation port the size of a fist on the door of Dongchang Prison.
Seeing the three people coming, the captain guarding the door hurriedly opened the door and stood aside respectfully.
After walking into the gate, he looked up at the row of solid cells made of bluestone in front of him. Lin Shangli said: "This yard is indeed a bit small. If it is bigger, we can build a few more rows of cells."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled softly: "Actually, I feel that this location is quite good. If the courtyard is expanded three times and all are built into cells, it will be enough for our East Factory. It will save the time of escorting prisoners back and forth."
"That's nice to say. Outside this prison, there are private houses. If their land is confiscated, where will they live?"
"Demolition must be compensated. Just give them more compensation." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Lin Shangli was stunned, this is really a solution.
"Then tell me, how much compensation should be given to them? Is it considered too much?"
"You have to give them more than twice the current price of their house, otherwise, who would be willing to move out willingly."
"Twice is not too much, you can think about it. However, you are also from Dongchang. Why are you like a boy who spends money, always thinking about paying others more." Lin Shangli said with a smile.
Xiao Chen scratched his head in embarrassment and lowered his voice: "We are all ordinary people outside, and life is not easy. Our Dongchang is an agency directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, so we should just do good deeds and win the hearts of the emperor."
"Hahaha." Lin Shangli laughed again, "Your mouth is full of both pros and cons."
...
With the formal use of Dongchang Prison, a whole army of Dongchang captains were stationed in the courtyard of the prison.
In addition to one captain standing every three feet around the courtyard wall, there were two more captains standing at the door of each cell where prisoners were held.
This battle of troops was originally the 20th battle of Dongchang. After they were stationed in the Dalao compound, they were directly renamed Dalao soldiers.
The sergeant is a middle-aged man in his thirties named Du Shaoqin.
When he was in Jinyiwei, he had some contacts with Xiao Chen, and his personal strength was more than enough to guard prisoners.
From the moment the three of them entered the door, they followed closely behind them.
"Du Shaoqin."
"My subordinate is here." Du Shaoqin stepped forward in one step, his movements clean and neat, without any sloppiness.
"Did Huang Anliang do anything unusual after entering the gate?" Lin Shangli asked.
"My lord, there is nothing abnormal when I return to the factory. I eat normally, work and rest normally, and occasionally move my fists and feet in the cell."
"Move your fists and feet? This Huang Anliang is really big-hearted." Lin Shangli laughed after hearing this.
"I think he is either emboldened or broken. Instead of staying inside depressed, it is better not to think about anything and live one day at a time." Xiao Chen said.
"Du Shaoqin, did you follow my instructions and send him wine?"
"Back to the factory, Mr. Gong, my subordinates sent in the wine, but Huang Anliang didn't drink it. He said that drinking and talking about the world is a kind of momentum. Now, being in jail means that he has broken off his fate with wine.
.”
"Oh, this Huang Anliang is a heavy drinker, how can he hold back from drinking?"
"My subordinates placed the wine jar in the cell, but Huang Anliang did not move at all."
Lin Shangli turned to look at Xiao Chen: "What do you think?"
"My subordinates think that Huang Anliang is pretending to be serious. He is afraid that after drinking, he will not be able to deal with us rationally. The more free and easy he is, the more afraid he is." Xiao Chen said.
"Well, that should be the case." Lin Shangli nodded, "Let's go in and see him."
Du Shaoqin hurried forward, stood at the door of the middle cell, and ordered the captain at the door to open the lock.
Pushing open the door, Lin Shangli slowly walked in, followed by everyone.
In the cell, Huang Anliang was shackled and standing in a corner with his back straight. Facing the wall, it gave people the feeling of facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes.
The bedding on the bed was neatly stacked. The floor was swept clean and spotless.
"Master Huang." Lin Shangli shouted softly.
Huang Anliang walked over, his eyes very calm.
Although he was shackled, he still raised his arms and cupped his hands: "Eunuch Lin. Oh, no. I should call you Mr. Factory now. I wonder if you are preparing to meet an old friend with so many people, or are you just watching
My joke?"
Lin Shangli turned around and looked at Xiao Chen: "You guys go out first and wait outside the door."
Everyone wisely retreated to the door and closed the door behind them.
"Du Shaoqin, have you also been transferred to Dongchang?" Xiao Chen said happily, patting the other party on the shoulder.
"Shh." Du Shaoqin put his index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture, "Keep your voice down, the factory owner is asking questions inside."
"Let's go a little farther." Xiao Chen also lowered his voice, backed away from Du Shaoqin, and took a few steps forward.
"Didn't you do well in Jinyiwei? Why were you transferred to Dongchang?" Xiao Chen said.
Du Shaoqin turned around and said: "It's good, I'm not the same as you. Those of us who don't know how to pat our beards and walk our horses will always be excluded in Jinyiwei."
"If you reject it, reject it. It's not just the same salary anywhere. Now it's better. Now that we've come to Dongchang, we can fight side by side again." Xiao Chen excitedly punched Du Shaoqin in the body, and then punched Duan Tianming in the face.
He was punched in the body.
Although Xiao Chen was thriving in Dongchang, it must be a new place.
This Du Shaoqin, after all, we have worked together for five or six years, and when we suddenly met today, we felt as if we were meeting our parents.
"I see that you and Mr. Factory are very harmonious. I basically have no contact with you. Mr. Factory, how is he?" Du Shaoqin asked in a low voice.
"He is a very nice person. I originally thought that the people in this palace would be difficult to deal with, but I found that they are much easier to get along with than us Jin Yiwei." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"That's good. As long as the people are easy to get along with, the work will be exciting."
"By the way," Xiao Chen glanced at Duan Shixiong's cell, "Duan Shixiong and his concubine have been investigated and dealt with, and they basically have nothing to do with the case. Later, you will transfer them to the same custody.
Well. His concubine is pregnant, so let them live together and have someone to take care of her."
"It doesn't matter. You can just release it. It's so troublesome." Du Shaoqin was a little puzzled.
Xiao Chen shook his head and said: "We cannot let them out until we have thoroughly investigated this case."
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that someone will do something bad to them?" Du Shaoqin asked.
"Well. Although the biggest threat to them, Huang Anliang, has been taken into custody, who knows if he will hold back. This old fox is a tough nut to crack."
"His daughter, didn't she confess everything? Just confront her directly." Du Shaoqin said.
"That confession can only prove Huang Anliang's crime. If I am not wrong, Huang Anliang's current calculation is that he will admit his guilt. But if you want to get other useful things from his mouth, don't even think about it.
think."
"This is really a stubborn old fox. However, if you look at him from the perspective of his side, it is quite admirable." Du Shaoqin said.
"Wait, what did you just say? What if you were on his side?" Xiao Chen raised his head, closed his eyes, and quickly filtered these seemingly irrelevant logical thoughts over and over in his mind.
"This Huang Anliang is a military officer. He can do anything to his son-in-law or daughter, but he sacrifices his life to protect the mysterious existence behind him. This should be a kind of belief that supports him to do this. It can make a person
A third-grade military attache who respects himself as a soldier sacrifices his life to protect others. This mysterious existence is probably not an ordinary person." Xiao Chen had a heavy look on his face.
"Emperor Jianwen?" Du Shaoqin and Duan Tianming called out urgently at the same time.
"Shh." This time it was Xiao Chen's turn to make a quiet gesture.
...
With a creaking sound, Lin Shangli opened the iron door and walked out.
"Mr. Factory Master?" The three of them walked over in a hurry.
Shaking his head, Lin Shangli said: "I have also persuaded you to date. Since he has chosen to keep silent, the task of prying his mouth open will be left to you."
Lin Shangli sighed.
"Don't be sad, Mr. Factory Lord. Everyone has his own ambitions and his own master. We are working for the emperor, and he is also fighting for opportunities for his forces. If he gives in so easily, he is not worthy of dating you, Mr. Factory.
." Xiao Chen smiled.
"That's what I said, but I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. I am commanding the imperial army with a salary from the imperial court, but I am doing things that harm the imperial court, and I actually have a relationship with him. Looking at people like this
On the other hand, I have always been very conceited. Now, I realize that I am short-sighted." Lin Shangli's face was filled with frustration.
"That only shows that Mr. Factory has a kind of kindness hidden deep in his heart. Only kind people will subconsciously think about people in a good way. If Mr. Factory still insists that he is wrong, that means
, Is kindness itself a mistake?" Xiao Chen had a smile on his face, and his eyes curved into two crescents.
Looking at Xiao Chen quietly, the frustration on Lin Shangli's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a smile.
