Chapter 476 Selfish Heart
Carriages and horses ran over the streets, the sun was shining brightly, street vendors and pedestrians passing by were particularly noisy, and in the bustling hustle and bustle, three figures slowly squeezed through the crowd. .
"It's probably like this on the streets of Chongping County. It's not as good as the river. Nanfu, there are mutton fat and leek cakes sold in front of them. They are delicious. On the left, do you see that it's that uncle. The spring cakes he made are so delicious. After seeing his father come out... No, no, now aren't you taking you to eat..."
The ground was steaming hot, and the figures were reflected on the ground and walking around. Xifu was still dressed in a white dress when he went out. The cuffs were embroidered with blue tattoos, which looked simple and refreshing. The nighthawk who followed her next to him heard her telling her as if she was familiar, then cast a puzzled look. On the other side, the woman glanced at the white figure following the other side and stuck out her tongue.
"…................. you don't know..."
Nighthawk looked at Bai Ning intentionally or unintentionally, and after all, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Miss, don't be so rash next time. If you want to go to the street, you can call any of us. What if you meet a bad person? "
"Bao, bah..." Nighthawk quickly spitted on the ground, reached out and slapped himself, "I shouldn't have spoken randomly... Miss, don't blame Brother Huang, too, I'll laugh."
Xifu covered his mouth and laughed.
Bai Ning, who was wearing a white scholar's robe next to him, was always focused on the woman. He just heard her introduce those snacks and snacks. He didn't just use them to show off like memorizing, but he actually came here to eat these things. It was interesting to see such a different kind of cherishing blessings. But... he was very moved by whether his original practice was right or wrong.
At this moment, when Bai Ning heard Ye Ying speak, he shook his head: "It's good... very interesting." He probably responded this way. As he left the street and turned to the county government road, the lively sound of Jingshi became a little far away. Although someone had walked by, it was probably much quieter.
The fierce sunlight poured on the white wall from the gaps of the trees, and the light and shadow were shaking. The three of them came to the quieter county government gate and entered through the side door. It was a temporary prison cell. If the suspect detained yesterday was convicted without interrogation, he would stay here for the time being.
"You guys say, can you see my father?" Xifu stood at the door, looking at a prison guard holding the registration list with some concern.
"It should be possible, after all, there has not been a conviction yet." Bai Ning looked at her and said with comfort, "...at least that's the case, but if you go in later, you can only be alone, and you must be a family member. I am afraid that Nighthawk and I cannot go in."
"Ah... Am I going in alone?" She had a little fear in her words. After all, the scene in prison was exaggerated a lot in the city. Many people had never been in there, and there would be a terrifying psychological fantasy invisibly. Bai Ning could naturally understand the fluctuations in her eyes.
"Are you afraid?"
The woman clenched her fist and pressed her thighs tightly, and shook her head stiffly, "Don't be afraid!"
As he was talking, the jailer came over, looked at the time on the list, looked at the three of them, and nodded: "Yesterday, Zhou Tong came in." Then he raised his eyes and smiled: "Who are his relatives?"
"I...I..." Xifu raised his hand.
Bai Ning nodded to Nighthawk, leaned over there, quietly stuffed a bag of jingling things into the other party's hand. The prison guard weighed it for a moment, turned around and walked in, shouting inside: "Fulai, open the door."
Then he turned his head and said, "Come on, there is not much time."
Xifu followed carefully and looked back with anxiety. Bai Ning clenched her fists, "Be strong, don't be afraid."
The woman nodded her lower lip and suddenly felt as if she had the courage in her heart, she walked into the dim wooden door. There was a faint chaotic scream and a crackling sound of whip. The prison guard shook the series of copper spoons around her waist and said as she walked: "Miss, don't be afraid, those individuals are making mistakes, that's what the crime should be like."
"My father was wronged..." Xifu emphasized behind him, and suddenly the screams from the prison cell were heard not far away, interrupting her.
The prison guard smiled and turned around and said, "Everyone who comes in here says that he was wronged, but whether he is wronged or not is the matter of the county master. We guard the prison will be miserable."
A scream from afar, "I'm wronged to let me go." The screams were faintly confirmed what the man said just now. Xifu pursed his lips, "Why is it so painful, but you just accepted a bribe... I saw it."
"Someone is willing to give it to me... I will naturally be willing to receive it."
The topic of the sentence the jailer said was actually much more complicated than the words, but the woman did not understand the meaning deeply.
The torch was inserted into the wall, and the two of them walked through the narrow long road and came to a square room. There were many people in the same clothes as the prison guard. Some were drinking and eating, while most of them were chatting. The prison guard who brought Xifu in to greet the others.
The two of them passed for a moment, and the crowd gathered and whispered.
"That woman... heard Fu came over and said she was visiting Daxia Zhou."
"Is his daughter? I seem to know that Zhou Tong has a daughter..."
"Look at her delicate... Is she also good at martial arts? I heard that they assassinated the admiral of the East Factory, but I don't know if it's true?"
"Would you like to report it to the Dongchang man in our yamen?"
"Take a ball..."
"Zhou Tong is still a good person... let's not do those things."
"But this time I was arrested, it seems that someone deliberately got him... Alas, a good person doesn't live long."
Soon after, everyone rested for a while and went to their own business. Over there, as they went deep into the prison, the cells were already within the distance of the woman. Behind the wooden railings, black shadows approached, and their eyes could swallow people like hungry wolves.
"Why is a delicate woman coming in... locked up with me?"
"Damn... I haven't seen a girl for several months."
…
The jailer walked in front and knocked his hands on the wooden railing with a scabbard, and drove the prisoners who were using foul language back. After all, the other party had given money, so he naturally could not ignore them like usual.
Then, when he arrived at a prison cell inside, the prison guard knocked on the wooden pillar, "Zhou Tong, your daughter is here to see you." Then he turned around and walked away, stood on the aisle two or three meters away, and carried it over.
Ding Dangdang... The sound of the chain dragging is approaching.
The figure in prison uniform swayed approaching. Xifu suddenly covered his mouth, tears fell down, and almost burst into tears. The figure that came was covered in blood, with white hair scattered, and there were a few whip marks on his old face. It was Zhou Tong.
"Why are you here... Daughter, why are you here? Is something wrong at home? Are you injured?" The old man rushed to the wooden railing.
Through a wooden railing, the woman's hand was gently pressed on the old man's hand.
"father…."
Tears flowed down.
....
Outside jail.
"The Lord, I have followed Zhou Tong over the days and found that his character is really good. Now that he has been wrongly imprisoned, we all know why he didn't rescue him from prison." Nighthawk looked at the figure bathed in the sun.
The figure rotates.
The eyes behind the mask turned cold at this time, "Why did I rescue him? This is pretty good..."
