How to work

Lu Li left Zhao Zhu and walked a few steps quickly, touched the door and asked the officials about the boy who came in four nights ago.

"It's a young man with a handsome appearance and rich clothes. He has a thin face and round eyes. He's about the same height as me... Do you know, brother I don't know?"

The official in black official uniform didn't speak, and directly extended his right hand to Lu Li.

After a moment's thought, Lu Li understood that it was too common to accept bribes, so he immediately took out a few pieces of silver and gave them to him.

The messenger glanced at Sui Yin with distaste, and uttered a word, "Yes."

Then what?Lu Li waited for a long time without waiting for a follow-up, and asked again, and the man stretched out his hand again.

This is... not enough money?

Lu Li's eyes widened. Although the silver he just gave was broken, the sum of several pieces was worth two taels. Is it worth such a word?

Of course, he is not short of money, but he just thinks that this person wants money a little bit darkly, and he never thought that the darker things are yet to come...

Lu Li looked at the official with a smile, and knew that he had no background, no backer, and connections, so he couldn't deal with these people, so he followed the rules, took out a silver ingot, and put it in the man's hand, "That young master is my friend, please help me!" Big brother is accommodating, tell me about the situation." =

The official replied simply and simply, "I live in a single room, I haven't been executed, I have three fine meals, and I live very well."

In the end, money is still useful. Although this is not much, the content is quite rich, which shows that Shen Wansha is doing well inside and has not suffered.

Lu Li relaxed his mind a little, and asked eagerly, "Then can I go in and visit?"

The messenger glanced at him coldly, from top to bottom, and finally said two words, "No."

Lu Li was taken aback.

When he was talking to the official, he also observed the surroundings without any trace, and after a little thought, he understood.

This is the outermost part of the prison. There are many guards, but everyone does their own thing and doesn't pay attention to others. He asked the official for information, bribed him, and did not avoid people, but others seemed to have not seen it. , to be precise, it is as usual, no one cares at all.

This is very telling.This place should be used to money transactions, and it is a relatively large amount of money transactions.

Think about what Shen Wansha mentioned in his letter, he spent all his money in order to win the extension period, plus the opportunity to deliver the letter... Shen Wansha is different from ordinary people. I feel that enough is enough, Shen Wansha was born in a wealthy family, and he never carries less on his body. Every time he goes out, he carries at least a thousand taels of silver on him, but this thousand taels of silver can only be exchanged for such an opportunity, which shows that corruption is rampant in the government here. , Works like a hammer, and is filthy.

It is also interesting for the government to handle the case. If Shen Wansha is found to be guilty, he should investigate and plead guilty, but Shen Wansha did not mention in his letter that he can get a chance for reprieve and help if he only spends all his money. Does that mean that as long as the money is more Do, no matter what the truth is, he can come out of it?

This speculation made Lu Li a little terrified.He knew that Shen Wansha would not kill people, but what about others?Has there ever been a lot of people, just because of a lot of money, they killed people and came out unscathed?

But Shen Wansha is the most important right now.Lu Li suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and stuffed two more silver ingots in the past, "Please tell me the truth..."

He has a handsome appearance, a sincere and well-behaved smile, and makes a very good impression. Besides, the money he gave is also enough. The official is not embarrassed, and directly asks for the price, "500 taels, you can go in and have a look."

"Five, 500 taels?" The smile on Lu Li's face almost couldn't hold back, it was so much!

The official glanced at him calmly, "As for the rest of the matter, we can only discuss it after seeing the official Tui, but I don't know."

These words seem to be a reminder... If you want to save someone, don't be afraid of losing money. He only cares about the prison. If you have enough money, you can let him see him, but if you want to get someone out of prison, you have to negotiate the price with the higher-ups.

Lu Li felt that his three views had been hit.

But he was not short of money now, so he took out a bank note and handed it to the official, "Brother Laocha will take care of it, but—" He pointed to Zhao Zhu who was standing not far behind, "He wants to go in with me. "

The messenger looked at Zhao Zhu, who was majestic, mighty and a bit fierce, "Yes." The two of them were not too many, no matter how powerful they were, if they dared to act wild and make trouble here, it would be fatal.

"You wait here for a while, I'll make arrangements." The official put away the cash and turned around to enter the gate of the prison.

Lu Li sighed, and stood with Zhao Zhu and waited.

Seeing Zhao Zhu frowning as if he didn't understand his emotions, Lu Li curled his lips helplessly, "It's too dark to ask for money, and it cost more than 500 taels just to go in and have a look at Shen Wansha."

"It's just some money." Zhao Zhu didn't think there was anything to be sad about such a trivial matter.

"But we are not rich, and the point is not about money, but..." Lu Li suddenly remembered that everything was his own subjective guess, maybe this is just an exception, and maybe Shangguan is not corrupt, so he paused, " never mind."

He didn't speak, and Zhao Zhu didn't ask any more questions. He just covered his hair with his big hand and rubbed it, "There's me."

Knowing that Zhao Zhu was comforting him and reassuring him, Lu Li pulled himself together and smiled confidently, "Well, we will rescue Shen Wansha!"

After a quarter of an hour, the messenger turned back, with a short and fat jailer behind him, "You go in with him, and you must come out after a quarter of an hour at most."

"Thank you, big brother." Lu Li smiled at the officer, grabbed Zhao Zhu and followed the jailer into the door.

The jailer walked quickly at first, but suddenly stopped moving at a corner where no one was around, saying that he wanted to take a rest.Lu Li understood in seconds, and immediately offered the broken silver, just kidding, with that calm expression, that straight back posture, who would believe it if you said you were tired!

Sure enough, as soon as he received the money, the jailer smiled, "Although you are a little tired, but you don't have much time, I'll take it, this way—"

Lu Li rolled his eyes.

After going through a long way like this, and giving him money again, Lu Li finally met Shen Wansha.

It is indeed a single cell, and there is no injury on his body. He looks better than others, but that is only better than others, far from the old Shen Wansha...Shen Wansha likes to dress up, and he likes glittering clothes , always neat and dazzling, now his face is covered with black and white, his clothes are wrinkled and his original shape and color cannot be seen, he is very embarrassed.

Seeing Lu Li, Shen Wansha stood up from the corner of the wall, rushed over and grabbed the doorpost tightly, looked at him with tearful eyes and sad face, his voice was as pitiful as it could be, "Little Lizi..."

It's so bitter.

Lu Li strode over and held Shen Wansha's hand, "I'm here, I'll rescue you soon, don't worry..."

"Hmm..." Shen Wansha didn't really cry, but his eyes were very red, and his voice trembled with tears, "I knew you were the best, and you would definitely come to save me..."

The two were still tired, Zhao Zhu said coolly, "Are you sure you want to waste time like this?"

Lu Li froze for a moment, his face became serious, "What's going on? You didn't write everything in your letter. I only know that you met a dying corpse and were convicted of a criminal."

"Is it just my unlucky..." Shen Wansha frowned, "That night I thought of taking a shortcut and walked through the side alley of a brothel, and just halfway there, I met that woman. That woman is very good-looking , the makeup is also very delicate, but the lip balm is a bit smudged. She didn't wear any clothes, and she was wrapped in a piece of light gauze, which was so thin that it could hardly cover anything. There were large bruises on her neck and chest, and several stab wounds on her lower abdomen. , bleeding out, and there is a bloody knife on the ground next to it."

"The woman is not dead, I swear she is not dead, her body is shaking, her eyes are rolled up, but her hands are struggling hard, as if she is asking for help, I can't bear it, so I go to help, who knows that with my help, she will died……"

Shen Wansha was still a little scared when he remembered what happened that day, "If I knew she would die, I would never have passed, little Lizi, you don't know, my hand pressed on her wound, and the hot blood rushed up, as if Her body temperature and life are also lost. It is cold outside, her skin is very cold, but her blood is so hot... I really want to save her, I especially want to save her, her pupils no longer turn up before she dies , took a look at me, and I felt that she had a lot to say to me, but she only opened her mouth, didn't say anything...and died."

"I was a little angry at the time, because looking at the woman's makeup, she should be a brothel girl, but a brothel girl is also a human being, although the business she does is a bit shameful, she shouldn't be humiliated and killed like this. Clothes are not worn by anyone! I was afraid and angry, so I stood there for a while, who knows how small, the police officer who patrolled at night also passed by that alley at that time, so happened to see me."

Shen Wansha cried, "I have that girl's blood all over my body and hands, and the blood-stained dagger is not far from me. They immediately took me to jail, called me a murderer, and demanded that I confess my guilt."

"I can't admit what I haven't done, so I asked them to conduct a thorough investigation and give more evidence. As a result, the people here reminded me that I can go out without finding out the results, but I have to pay a lot of money." Shen Wan The voice of the sand was a little excited, "Master, the most important thing I need is money. Since money can be solved, it is easy, so I asked how much I needed, but they said 1 taels! It's too dark!"

Lu Li also gasped, "1 taels!" How dare you speak...

Shen Wansha was a little aggrieved, "I am playing outside, no matter how much money I bring, I will not bring 1 taels, so I will give them all the money on my body, let them accommodate a deadline, and write to you to let you come .”

Having said that, Shen Wansha opened his neck collar, took off the golden bead that had been worn around his neck, handed it to Lu Li, approached him and whispered, "This is my ID card, take it and go outside to chase it." The bank paid 1 taels of silver notes to redeem me."

Lu Li felt that the golden bead was a bit hot, "Since you..."

Shen Wansha curled his lips, "Everyone here is desperate for money, I will give them the gold beads, maybe they will get more than 1 taels, I don't believe them."

Lu Li sighed and put the golden beads away, "Don't worry, I will rescue you tomorrow."

Shen Wansha's eyes lit up, "Well, I'm waiting for you! Let's eat delicious food together when we get out! I know there is a family that makes delicious food..."

……

The two began to chat spiritually again. Zhao Zhu folded his arms and looked at the dim lights in the passage, feeling that things would not be so simple.

The atmosphere here is weird, 1 taels... Can it really get people out?
