"Come on, come on, brothers, let's drink...and fuck!"
In the Baoshan County Prison, three jailors wearing official uniforms with the word "prison" on them sat across from each other on an old table.
The food on the table was still hot. One look at the appearance showed that it was from the largest restaurant in the county. There were five or six jars of wine placed beside them. It seemed that they really planned to get drunk in jail tonight.
.
Under the shout of an old jailer, several people picked up the bowl and took a big sip, and then shouted a few times. For them, there were not many opportunities to eat and drink like this.
The cell is too deserted and the nights are long, so drinking is a common thing in prison. But generally speaking, the food that goes with the wine is just a bag of peanuts. Even if the jailers want to cut half a catty of donkey meat in sauce, it will be their salary.
Only on that day can we set up a big table with big fish and meat like today!
"Boss Lao Xu, you said that all the people from the county government have gone to live happily in the crowded building. Why are we the only three brothers here to watch the prison?"
The jailer known as Mr. Xu first picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth, then picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip. After doing all this, he squinted his eyes in contentment and said.
"You kid, just be satisfied! I've been a jailer for thirty-six years and I've only had such a feast four times. You kid, you're only here in your second year and you can catch up once. What else can you be dissatisfied about? What's more?
What's more, the county magistrate's felon is still being held in this jail. If you lose him, do you still want to go to the guest house? If he doesn't throw you to jail and eat in jail, it would be considered magnanimous of the county magistrate."
The jailer who spoke earlier smiled. He had just arrived and still had some arrogance. You must know that jailers are the most disliked people in this county government.
"Boss Lao Xu, I heard that the prisoner in the prison was caught when the previous county magistrate was here. Why haven't you said how to deal with him after all this time!"
Old Boss Xu took another beautiful sip and said.
"What do you know? The last county magistrate caught this prisoner because he wanted to leave a mark of merit before leaving office, so that he could write more beautifully in the booklet about resigning from old age and returning to his hometown. But now that he is resigning from his old age and returning to his hometown,
The book has come down, and the previous county magistrate has got what he wants, so naturally he has to make another fortune from this prisoner. You know, the previous county magistrate suffered a huge loss when he arrested this prisoner.
More than a dozen government officials arrested us!"
Boss Xu deliberately lowered his voice and said.
"It is said that this prisoner is a well-known criminal thief in Yuanshan County. Our new county magistrate spent two thousand taels to buy it from the previous county magistrate in order to get some money from him after he took office.
His first political achievement! Otherwise, why do you think he is the only one in Nuo Da’s cell, and we three brothers have to endure it?”
Hearing what Boss Xu said, the other two people were a little frightened. The dim candlelight reflected on their faces showed the surprise in their eyes. They really never thought that the prisoner in this cell could actually
Worth two thousand taels of silver!
"My dear, Mr. Xu, if you keep talking, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink the wine tonight. If our three brothers lose these two thousand taels, they won't be able to afford the compensation if they sell us!"
"What...are you afraid of!"
Boss Xu greeted him while eating his food.
"Eat and eat, even though the gangster has some punches and kicks, he still can't break through the cage with his own abilities."
After hearing what the old boss Xu, who had been working as a businessman for more than 30 years, said this, the two of them felt relieved again.
"Go! Go quickly!"
"Let me go! Let me go! Did I say something wrong? A dog officer is a dog officer, and no one can tell you what he does!"
Hearing the commotion outside, the three jailers put the chopsticks they had just picked up back down. After a while, they saw two county government officials escorting a young man over. Old Xu, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, rushed forward to greet him.
.
"Hey, what kind of wind has brought these two poor men here!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the young man between the two of them: He was wearing a long gown, and his hands and feet were so thin that he didn't look like a prisoner! He looked more like a student.
"Two policemen, what crime has this man committed?"
Logically speaking, these two half-captains should not pay attention to the jailer, but more than thirty years have been enough for the old boss Xu to accumulate a lot of love in the county government, and even
Even the master would call him "Old Xu" politely when he saw him, so these two servants were also very polite in front of Mr. Xu.
"Uncle Xu, this man insulted the newly appointed county magistrate in public. I will hand him over to you right now. You have to watch out. The county magistrate might be brought to trial tomorrow!"
"Insulting the county magistrate!"
Old Man Xu exclaimed, then lowered his voice.
"Oh, this kid is really desperate for his life."
The officer who escorted him should also arrive.
"Who says otherwise! This boy is still the distant nephew of the shopkeeper with a full house. His uncle rescued him at that time, but this boy refused to repent and said that the county magistrate was a dog official. Now this matter is difficult to deal with.
"
Old man Xu glanced at him and said.
"It's a pity. Let's see if his uncle is willing to spend money on him."
The officer did not answer, but pushed the young man into the prison.
"Uncle Xu, I brought him in, where can he be locked up?"
"Let's stay together with that gangster, so I don't have to deliver food separately later!"
"okay!"
"Clang!"
With the sound of closing the door, the young man was thrown into the prison. The two government officials left together with Old Xu Tou who closed the door. Behind him was the young man whose voice had not broken since he was arrested.
.
"Let me out, let me out!"
But it was obvious that no one would pay attention to him. Except for the gangster in the prison who looked at him with interest, Old Xu Tou and the two jailers didn't even raise their eyelids.
After the jailer and the two government officials had gone far away, the old boss Xu spoke of the gangster.
"Stop shouting. Once you get in here, no matter whether you are wronged or not, don't even think about getting out, unless your family is willing to spend money to save you, but even if you spend money, this is a bottomless pit!"
"who!"
Hearing the sound, the young man realized that he was not the only one in the cell. After he calmed down, he saw a figure whose whole body was hidden in the darkness in the cell. It was too dark in the cell.
So that the young man could not see his face clearly.
"who are you?"
Upon hearing the young man's questioning, the man in the prison did not move, and his voice did not rise or fall.
"Who am I? I can't even remember my name, but people in the world call me Lord Tiger Tiger!"
Young people have never heard these horns.
"Master Hu? Don't you know him?"
Mr. Hu, who calls himself Mountain Tiger, is a little embarrassed, but he really doesn't know how to relieve it. He should have known that this kid is not from a gangster background.
"Ahem, cough, cough, forget it if you don't know me. It doesn't look like you're from the world of martial arts. But then again, you look so helpless, how did you get in?"
When this was mentioned, the young man said angrily.
"Hmph, this newly appointed county magistrate is the same as the previous one. They are both high-ranking officials who are only greedy for money. I just scolded him a few times and he arrested me!"
"What a boy! Have some backbone!"
After hearing the reason why he came in, the gangster in the prison moved a little, allowing the young man to see his face clearly.
His face was very dirty, and his hair had probably not been taken care of for some time. However, from his voice and his dirty face, we could tell that he was not very old, only in his thirties.
"Boy, what's your name? Not many people dare to scold a dog official in person these days."
"My name is Zhang Jingsheng, and I will also be going to the capital to get fame in the future."
"student?"
that
Zhenshanhu moved his body back after hearing his self-introduction, and immediately lost any interest in him.
"Studying is useless these days. You, a poor scholar with no money and no power, still want to take the exam to gain fame. Don't let me laugh to death before I am killed."
The young man snorted coldly.
"When did it start? Only powerful people can do this."
"Every time! You don't have the money or the power to take the exam and let me see?"
"you…"
Zhang Jingsheng wanted to refute, but couldn't find any reason.
"Boy, instead of thinking about how to get a job, you should think about how to get out first! If no one comes to catch you, just plan to live here for a few years!"
Zhang Jingsheng still looked deserted.
"I just scolded him a few times. What qualifications does he have to detain me for several years? In my opinion, he just imprisoned me for a few days to scare me, or if it was more serious, he would beat me."
It's not surprising that Zhenshan Tiger has such thoughts about him. They are just newborn calves who have never seen the world.
"If you don't believe it, let's wait and see when you can go out without anyone paying you."
"I don't believe there is no royal law in the world!"
The mountain-suppressing tiger laughed outright this time, and the sarcasm in his laughter was not concealed at all.
"The King's Dharma? How ridiculous! Is there any King's Dharma in this world? There are mountains of gold, silver, pearls and beauties in this world, but there is no King's Dharma! In this world, money is the King's Dharma!"
After saying that, Zhenshanhu fell silent for a while, and added another sentence after a while.
"Wang Fa may be available in other places! But it doesn't exist in Baoshan County! Here..."
Zhenshanhu glanced at him and said.
"Not even more!"
…
"Master, where are you going so early? It's not even time to open the store yet!"
In Baoshan County, there was a family whose oil lamps lit up early. This family's family seemed to have a solid foundation, and they lived in single-family houses with small courtyards. Not long after the sound came out, there was another sound coming from inside the house.
The sound of rustling clothes.
"I have to go and see how to deal with Jingsheng's child. This child has a mother waiting for him to raise him!"
"Hey, I said the head of the family is the county magistrate! What good can you get by going, but don't involve our family."
"What do you know!"
A man's voice could be heard scolding a woman from inside the room.
"The father of Jingsheng's child was very helpful to me back then, but now his son is in prison. How can I just ignore this matter!"
"Oh, why are you angry? Yes, you are righteous, you have the ability, and you have opened a big restaurant, but do you know that there are four mothers waiting for you to make money and come back to eat! If you go in
, how can we four mothers survive!"
After hearing the woman's words, the man finally calmed down his emotions.
"Okay, okay, I can't care about you! I have lived for you four in my whole life, but I can't just die without saving you! I promise you, I will fish out that kid Jingsheng this time.
After we come here, our family and their family will be completely separated, and I will no longer care about their family's affairs."
After hearing these words, the woman looked a little happy, even though she knew that what her husband said was a lie. According to her husband's character, he could really not care about the life and death of his savior and his family.
But besides, she didn't have to let her husband die without saving her. She just hoped that her husband could care more about their mothers. When her husband was still a poor boy, she would rather die.
Isn't it because of his deep friendship that you want to marry him?
"It's still so early, I guess the government office hasn't even opened yet! You can go there later!"
The man said as he pushed the door open and walked out.
"There are some things that if you wait until the Yamen opens, it will be too late!"
