Hardy Empire 1945

Warden Shawshank and his wife were sleeping at home. In the morning, the woman opened her eyes and found something hanging from the roof in a daze.

When she saw it, she screamed in horror.

Ahhhh~~~!

What's the matter? The warden was awakened by the scream.

Look, Sam, our dog~ is dead!

The woman covered her mouth and said in fear.

In their bedroom, the two dogs of his family were hung on the ceiling fan, with iron hooks going through their mouths, their bodies were covered with scars, and blood was dripping on the ground. The whole scene was extremely bloody and terrifying.

The warden was also terrified.

What's going on, I'll call the police! The warden got up calmly and walked quickly to the table to make a call.

Ring Ling Ling ~!

Just then the phone rang suddenly.

The warden took a moment to pick up the answer.

A negative voice came from the microphone, Hello, Warden Norton, we should have seen the gifts we gave you, when you hung them in your bedroom, your couple slept so soundly, I didn't feel embarrassed to disturb them. .

Hearing this sentence, the warden's body suddenly tense.

He could understand the meaning of the other party's words. They killed their own dog. They can enter their room at will, and hang the dog on the ceiling fan without being aware of it, which means they can kill themselves at any time.

Who are you? What do you want to do! the warden yelled into the phone angrily.

Think about what you did yourself.

The warden was stunned.

What he has done, he has done too much, how could he know how to offend these people.

The man on the other end of the phone spoke again.

But the next words made the warden feel cold all over.

The annual maintenance cost of the prison is more than 100,000 yuan, but half of it goes into your pocket.

Doolittle Construction is just going to put on a show, right?

Doli Food Supply Company, the prison's meals are provided by this company, the prisoners eat very badly, and the reimbursement price is twice as much as the ingredients, and you make all the difference.

And the grocery shopping for prisons, you also make a fortune.

Corruption, false accounting, money laundering, Mr. Warden, if we hand over these evidences to the tax bureau, what do you think will happen to you, hehehehe?!

The laughter on the phone gave the warden a creep.

You, what do you think?

The warden's voice was not angry, even a little sullen.

It's very simple, to ensure Andy's safety, we don't have to shake things out of you, but you remember that if he has an accident, you will definitely end up worse than him, including your family. The person on the phone was negative. said measured.

Of course, if you are obedient, there is still room for recovery...

The warden put down the phone tremblingly.

His wife grabbed the warden's arm by the side. Sam, did you call the police? Let the police catch those bastards who killed our dogs.

The warden took a deep breath.

You can't call the police, you can only handle this matter yourself.

Why? the wife screamed.

The warden was a little irritable, Didn't you see it? This is a warning. Those people called the call just now. If we dare to call the police, they will send me to prison, or even come in at night and kill you directly.

The warden's wife was also terrified.

Then, what to do then?

What else can we do, we can only do as they say. The warden said sullenly.

......

The warden returns to Shawshank.

Come to your office.

Captain Haley immediately followed, and after closing the door, he reported in a low voice: Warden, I have arranged for a guy named Damon to find a chance to kill Andy, he will get into a fight, and he will definitely not be involved. to us.

Crack~!

The warden gave Haley a big slap in the face.

Fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Captain Haley was stunned.

Warden, what's the matter?

The warden shouted to Haley: Stop, it must be stopped. Now go and tell the person you are looking for. You must not kill Andy, and everything will stop.

Ah~!

Haley was a little confused.

You were the one who let yourself kill at first, and now you suddenly stop.

But once Andy is overturned and out of prison, what if he tells us about our affairs? Haley asked.

The warden said in his heart.

His own affairs have long been known, and now Andy is no longer the focus, the focus is on those who threatened him.

Kill Andy, the other party will definitely retaliate.

If he went to jail or was beaten to death on the street, his family members were murdered, it didn't end well anyway, and when Andy went out, even if he was reported, at most he would be punished, and his family would not be involved.

It is also possible that Andy won't shake it out. The other party said that there is still room for recovery, which gave him a glimmer of hope.

Now I can only choose to listen.

There is no second way.

Stop talking nonsense, now hurry up and notify the person you are looking for, did you hear the action stop? the warden shouted at Haley.

Okay, I'll let you know.

Captain Haley brought Daemon to his office again, closed the door and said in a low voice: The thing I told you before, don't need to do it anymore, that's it.

I warn you, just pretend it never happened, don't mention it to anyone, forget about it, if you dare to leak it out, you won't have a good day in Shawshank in the future.

Dimon nodded.

I don't know what happened.

Leave Haley's office.

Dimon had a smile on his face.

The person who finds himself has a lot of energy. The news that I only learned yesterday will settle the matter today.

......

Shawshank Prison playground.

It's time for the wind again.

Andy was not as leisurely as he used to be today. He sat in the corner and stared at the crowd in the distance. He received a message yesterday that someone was going to kill him, and he was always worried.

The little brother who sold cigarettes began to wander around the field again, selling the cigarettes in his hand, and came to Andy in a circle.

Want a cigarette?

Andy said in his heart, I said I don't smoke, why did I sell it to me.

At this time, the younger brother said in a low voice: Your matter has been settled, you are really amazing.

Then he patted Andy on the shoulder and left.

Andy was taken aback.

Yesterday, this little brother told him that someone was trying to harm him. Today, he came to tell himself that the matter has been settled.

Andy was startled.

solved,

Who did it for me?

Andy sorted out the whole thing, and he felt that the most likely solution to this matter was that Mr. Henry.

Or Mr. Hardy, the boss behind him.

Although they have never met, Andy has already felt the greatness of that Mr. Hardy.

Why did Mr. Hardy help himself?

He never figured it out.

......

Five days passed in a flash.

Andy was notified that day that he would be transferred to the state courthouse for the next trial.

After receiving this news, Andy was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night.

I can finally get out of here.

He quietly told the old Reid the news, and the two sat together and chatted in a low voice.

I don't know what I'm feeling now, I'm excited, but also a little disappointed. I loved my wife very much, but I'm just not good at expressing it. She always complained that I spent too little time with her. Speaking of which, I hurt her. My temper hurt her, the only difference is that I didn't fire the gun. In fact, during this time in prison, in addition to feeling wronged, I still have a little sense of redemption in my heart.

Maybe this is the punishment of fate, let me stay here for 7 years, punish my fault in that marriage.

Old Rhett shook his head slightly.

I don't think your wife is doing the right thing, enjoying the money and benefits brought by your work, but you can't help but find a small white face in loneliness. This is a shameless behavior.

You are not a murderer. Maybe you are not a good husband and you can regret it, but you are not guilty and should not stay here.

Andy was a little silent.

Turning to look at old Reid, If there is a chance, can I help you get out on parole?

Old Rhett was silent.

He was not as excited as he thought he could go out.

There was even a hint of concern.

I'm different from you. I have really killed people, and I have no grievances in my heart. After staying here for more than 20 years, I have not adapted to the life outside. I am afraid that I can't survive when I go out. Bird, after a long time, it has not adapted to the sky outside, and has no courage to soar.

Laurel said slowly.

Then if you really have the opportunity to go out, what kind of life do you want to live? Andy asked.

Old Rhett thought for a while.

Opening a hotel and raising a dog, the hotel business doesn't have to be very good. Every day, I meet the guests who come and go, sit at the door when I am bored, and the dog is lying next to me. Maybe that is the life I most yearn for.

......

Andy is gone.

Leaving Shawshank Prison.

When he left the cell with a salute, many people watched him from the fence.

Watch him leave.

The warden stood at the window, watching Andy being taken away by the state court police car. He didn't know how he was feeling at this moment.

Finally don't have to worry about whether to kill Andy anymore.

But he will continue to suffer.

The sword of Damocles is in the hands of others and can be cut off at any time. He does not know what his next fate will be.

It's such a hard time to spend all day worrying about it.

Maybe he wasn't as happy as the prisoners lying on the playground.

......

The prison cell in the state court is much better than the Shawshank prison. The double room has a separate bathroom, the bed is softer, and the food is more than one grade better than that of Shawshank.

Lawyer Bob and Henry came to see him again.

Lawyer Bob said with a smile: There will be a process next, but I can tell you that your case has sufficient evidence. As long as there is no major accident, you will be released in court next month.

Next to Henry said: Mr. Andy, wait at ease during this time, and you can tell me what you need.

Andy thought for a while, Can I ask for some newspapers and books, I have been isolated from the outside world for too long, and would like to know more about the current situation outside?

No problem. Henry said.

Andy thought again, Mr. Henry, can I talk to you alone?

Lawyer Bob stood up with a smile and said, I'll go outside to smoke a cigarette first.

After the lawyer left, Andy looked at Henry and asked, Mr. Henry, I want to ask, did you arrange the thief who turned himself in?

Henry's meal.

Immediately understood what Andy meant.

We arranged for him to surrender himself, but that person is indeed the murderer who killed your wife and lover. My boss accidentally knew about this, so he arranged for me to see you, and then asked the thief to surrender.

Andy's heart finally let go.

If the thief was fake, he would probably feel very guilty.

Mr. Henry, can I ask about Mr. Hardy's situation. I've been wondering why Mr. Hardy helped me these days?

Henry pouted.

I don't know, maybe it's really for a sense of justice.
