Ministers and others get married by decree

The jailer said as he walked: "Mr. Lord, this Chen Tianyong is locked in a room with his family. There are a lot of people. Why don't you bring him out alone? You can have a chat?"

Chu Lou didn't really want to see the other Chen family members, so he gratefully agreed.

Chen Tianyong was huddled in the corner of the cell, surrounded by complaints, his father grabbed the fence and cursed, and the two elder brothers leaned together to wipe away tears.

"San'er," the elder brother's voice was completely hoarse, "You have been with Chen Danian for so many years, how come you don't know anything?"

"Exactly!" The second elder brother spat resentfully, and cried again, "If you had known earlier, our family would have figured out a way, even if we left the family! You really killed our whole family!"

Chen Tianyong has heard these words countless times since he was imprisoned, and his expression is very numb.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say, uncle is an elder after all, how could he just call him by his name?But before the words came out, I felt deeply exhausted—it was meaningless, the family no longer had a family, and they might all die, so why talk about respecting the elders and caring for the young?

Chen Tianyong looked at the unwillingness on his father's face, and at the fearful and resentful eyes of his brothers, and great sadness and grievance welled up in his heart.

Could it be that he wanted to live at the uncle's house?Doesn't he want to stay by his parents' side for joy?Since she left him out for the sake of her uncle's family property, what right do she have to blame him now?

However, when he thought of his little nephews and nieces, as well as his own mother, he felt that the brothers were right to scold them.It is because he has lived in a muddle for so many years, he only knows how to enjoy, but he doesn't think about making progress.If he is a little more promising, maybe the uncle will not hide things from him, maybe he still has the ability to redeem.

It's all over now!

"Chen Tianyong!"

The jailer knocked on the fence outside: "Chen Tianyong! I'm calling you, come out!"

The cell that originally held seven or eight people fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Chen Tianyong.

Chen Tianyong came back to his senses, his face turned pale.

"Hurry up! What are you dawdling about!" The jailer impatiently knocked on the log fence with his saber.

Chen Tianyong looked around in panic, wanting to get some support, but the eyes of his relatives were even more frightened than him, as if his going out this time was a death sentence.

There was no way to delay any longer, so he had to grit his teeth and stand up slowly. Because he was wearing a handshake, he could only support the wall with both hands to get up, and his legs were sore and numb from being curled up for a long time.

"San'er! Don't go!" The second elder brother who was spitting on him just now suddenly rushed over, hugged him and howled, "I don't blame you! Don't go out to die!"

"Second brother..." Chen Tianyong burst into tears, feeling extremely painful.

"Howling, howling," the jailer yelled, "Who said you were going to die! Someone outside wants to visit you!"

The two brothers hugging and crying: "..."

Master Chen Er wiped his face, and asked cautiously: "Master, may I ask who wants to visit the child?"

The jailer glanced at him with a wooden face: "It's not an executioner anyway."

Second Master: "..."

All in all it was a false alarm.

Chen Tianyong followed the jailer to an empty cell in the back. The cell door was wide open. When he looked up, he saw Chu Lou standing inside, looking at him with concern.

Chen Tianyong knelt down instantly.

"Brother Tianyong!" Chu Lou was shocked, and immediately came to help him, "What are you doing!"

Chen Tianyong grabbed Chu Lou's hand to support him, raised his head and smiled wryly: "It's okay, I, I just have weak legs."

Hearing that, Chu Lou breathed a sigh of relief.

He was so scared to death, he was still thinking about why this old classmate would give a big gift as soon as they met.

"Get up first and then talk." He pulled Chen Tianyong up hard.

The empty cell was facing the torch, and it was relatively bright in the afternoon.Chu Lou supported Chen Tianyong's shoulders with both hands, and looked up and down at his old classmate.

After all, he had only been locked up for less than a day. Except for his slightly embarrassed clothes and hairstyle, Chen Tianyong seemed to have no problems with his body, at most he looked depressed.He noticed that Chen Tianyong was in a cold sweat just now, and asked in a low voice: "What happened to you just now?"

Chen Tianyong was also at an age where he wanted face, so how could he tell him that he was relieved to see him because he was afraid that his legs would go weak?So he shook his head silently, swallowed all the complicated emotions in his heart, and made up his mind that he would never complain to Chu Lou.

Seeing the determination in his eyes, Chu Lou didn't ask any more questions.

"Would you like to sit down and talk?"

Chen Tianyong shook his head: "I've been sitting all night, let's stand up." There are no fathers and brothers around here, so he feels more relaxed.

The two were relatively silent, neither knowing what to say.

Chu Lou thought for a while, and said, "I have to leave today, if you need my help, I will do my best."

Chen Tianyong originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about the current situation, he hesitated and said: "I have nothing to worry about here, but the female relatives still have a way out. My mother, aunt, and cousins, if my family can If you buy it with money, you can still avoid punishment, and my nephews and nieces are still young, so they are not included in the punishment."

Chu Lou nodded: "How do you want me to help them?"

Chen Tianyong said slowly: "I'm mainly worried that they don't have a plan. The redemption has to be done with the help of her natal family, and she has to send a message. If possible, Brother Lou, please help me to confirm their thoughts. If you want to go out, send them a message." Message."

"Okay!" Chu Lou immediately agreed, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter for you. When I ask you clearly, I will ask someone to send you a message, so that you can feel at ease."

Chen Tianyong immediately felt relieved, lowered his head and wiped his eyes.

"Thank you, Brother Lou."

Chu Lou sighed secretly, patted him on the shoulder and persuaded him: "Brother Tianyong, don't give up hope, there is no unparalleled road!"

Chen Tianyong said sadly: "Even if you are lucky enough to save your life, what is the difference between being exiled to Lingnan and dying?"

Chu Lou was silent.

This is not a later generation. At this time, most of Guangnan Province is desolate and backward. The climate is humid and hot, and there are many miasmas. prisoner?

He said in a very low voice: "I have inquired about it. After all, you have not been officially recorded in your uncle's house, and you have not been an official, so you don't know about it. If nothing happens, you should be exiled." So it is better to accept the reality as soon as possible and do a good job. Be mentally prepared.

Chen Tianyong looked at him, and his lips trembled for a while.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to be grateful for his survival, or panic about the long exile in the future.

He held Chu Lou's hand tightly, choked up and speechless.

In fact, he has a lot to say to Brother Lou.

He wanted to chat with Brother Lou about wandering the streets and alleys of the capital when he was a child, and wanted to ask his old playmates if they had married now... He also wanted to tell Brother Lou that his little cousin was here. The theater theater saw him, and asked about him secretly... His little cousin is very handsome, kind and lovely...

Chu Lou held him instead, and could feel the sweat in the other's palm, as well as the slight trembling.

The tears on the other party's face reflected the light in the dark cell.

There is no need to say more.

Qin Fengchi stood at the door, folded his arms and closed his eyes, motionless.

The jailer secretly looked at him, thinking, Yingyuwei is different, and he didn't move his gun for most of the time.While watching, the other party suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him. The expressionless face on the mask looked a little scary.

"Go call him, it's almost time." Qin Fengchi said calmly.

The jailer was startled, and bowed his head respectfully: "Yes, little one, let's go."

When Chu Lou came out, his face was still a little gloomy, and he was not in a good mood.But this is common in the eyes of the jailers. After all, what kind of good place can a prison be?If the eye of the sky is opened, there must be a lot of resentment here, and those who enter will lose their yang energy invisibly.

Qin Fengchi sized him up: "Aren't you leaving?"

Chu Lou thought for a while, and gave him a embarrassed look.

Qin Fengchi knew that there was something wrong when he saw his hesitant appearance, this bad guy probably took trouble for himself again!He simply didn't know how this person was brought up, why didn't he hear that Chu Yuan and Chu Fang were happy to help others?

It's a pity that Chu Lou couldn't get a warning from his indifferent mask, so he could only look at him with guilty eyes.

What's the matter?Still waiting for him to give the steps?

Qin Fengchi almost laughed angrily.

When he was pretending to be a girl, why didn't he see that Chu Lou was so good at acting like a baby?

When Chu Lou saw that the person in front of him was exuding an aura of resistance, he hurriedly accepted him, and said with a sneer, "I am, I was entrusted, and I want to ask the female family members of the Chen family how to deal with it? Didn't you say last time..."

Qin Fengchi said patiently: "I said last time that I can redeem myself, but things are not that simple."

"You see, first of all, you have to ensure that the women's natal families come forward, and second, you have to pay the ransom before other people participate in the official sale. Besides, it is impossible for these people's natal families to be in the same place. , It may not be in time. If it is not timely, the remaining female relatives will all be filled into the Jiaofang Division. According to the past situation, there are probably not many alive and voluntarily going to the Jiaofang Division."

Qin Fengchi finally concluded: "The last ones you can save are probably those children who are under five years old."

Chu Lou was dumbfounded and panicked.

"This, how is this good?" He was anxious, "I promised brother Tianyong, if this can't be done, wouldn't it make him suffer even more?"

Qin Fengchi said lightly: "You asked for trouble."

This person almost said "deserved it" directly!

Chu Lou also knew that it was his fault.But from his point of view, it would be fine if he didn't go to see Chen Tianyong, but he just went to meet this old partner, and just happened to witness this thing again.That prefect Chen deserved what he deserved, but he really couldn't bear to ignore his partner.

He gritted his teeth, determined to get things done no matter what.

"Mr. Xiao Lang, are you asking about the female family members of the Chen family?" the jailer interjected.

Chu Lou frowned and looked at him.

"What should I do?" the jailer laughed. "We can't say anything else. We are specialized in this kind of thing in prison."

Chu Lou was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What can I do?"
