The first work of the imperial prison

The prison is dark, there is no wind or sound, the candlelight jumps straight up and down, and the faces reflected are pale and terrifying.

"Have you heard the story of Pan Jinlian?"

Chai Pengyi curled his lips, as if saying something very interesting: "Ziyuan is not Pan Jinlian, and her husband Shizhu is not Wu Dalang. The husband and wife have a very good relationship, but this Zhuang family is really a queen."

"There are three aunts and six wives in Shijingfang. They say that matchmakers deliver babies and look after them. They do both open and dark business. There are similar needs in the circle of nobles. However, those who do this kind of thing are not doing business, nor are they looking for money, but connections. "

"It is said that Mrs. Zhuang is capable, knows how to communicate with wives best, and can help her husband to rise to the top. But a woman, her talent is not well-known, her appearance is not good, and she has never accomplished any great things. She can only rely on her eloquence. Is it possible?"

Ye Baiting understood why the Zhuang family liked to hold flower banquets so much. I'm afraid sociability is the second priority. It's serious to use the opportunity to see people and facilitate private affairs.

Sure enough, the next moment, Chai Pengyi talked about the flower banquet: "The small banquets she hosted seemed hospitable and everyone was invited, but in fact the direction was already set, there were helping others to see each other, and there was a pure relationship for convenience in the future. , There are also normal mediators. For example, if a big man calls a name and says which girl is good, Zhuang will invite her over. If the little girl and the elders are willing, this matter will be done. If not—— She has a way too."

"Of course, the surface is polite and smiling, with all kinds of kindness, but in fact, you can figure out people's temperament and temperament. If you know what the other party cares about, you can look at the tricks. If you want a fiancé, let your fiancé do something. If you have a sweetheart Now, love is the same, let your sweetheart sleep in a flower and a willow, and get involved with the second concubine, do you hate it? If you still can't figure it out, let those girls in the building come to you, what is dirty? All the stinky people say it out, are you shameless? Do you dare to like such a person? If your parents don’t agree, that’s easier. Your father wants to be promoted or rich? Have all kinds of troubles? Promise you profit, promise you wealth, can you not be tempted? If you are not tempted, let’s make a game, first suppress you, take away your things, make your life difficult, and then give you benefits, give you Cai, will you give in or not?"

"Don't be too familiar with Zhuang's game, the calculations are all in private, and she will always be reliable on the surface, 'I can solve your problems for you'. Appropriate, what do you have to say? As for how your life will end up after you become a child, that is your own ability, what does it have to do with her Zhuang family?"

Ye Baiting: "It's really not a good thing to have a girl in her eyes."

"Of course not a good thing."

Chai Pengyi is mysterious—laughs: "Ziyuan is well-known, she is someone she has been eyeing for a long time, looking for opportunities to get acquainted, naturally it is not pure admiration, all kinds of coincidences, doing small favors for others, in order to be cited by others My best friend, I can invite you to come when I really need it, and I can coax you to stay."

"Ziyuan is not stupid, if she is really stupid, it is impossible for Ping An to be pursued by men for so many years, and she did not marry until she was in her twenties, but after all, she did not come from a very good background. She has never encountered unrequited kindness since she was a child, and she is used to it. The state of the world is cold, the men's hands and feet, and the women's contempt. It's rare to see such a warm and kind person who just came to make friends. Zhuang's - there was indeed no change at the beginning, and the days - long, will soften people's hearts How could Ziyuan know her heart, she only thought of her as a good person."

"Afterwards, someone will fall in love with Ziyuan."

Ye Baiting's eyes were cold: "Xuan Pinghou?"

Chai Pengyi glanced at Ye Baiting: "You are smart, why didn't you think about the county horse?"

Ye Baiting scoffed, "Is that his guts?" Come on.

Calculating according to time, Ziyuan became famous about 20 years ago, and the accident happened ten years ago. According to Chai Pengyi's narration, he should be 26 and seven years old at that time?Ten years ago, Shen Huarong was 20 years old, married to the princess for two years, his "true temperament" has gradually revealed, he wants to do big things, and his ambition to control his life is still there, but it is a pity that sweet words can no longer coax women, subconsciously will restrain himself.

If Ziyuan is really beautiful and beautiful, the sense of age is not obvious on her, and the stunning beauty is in front of her, Shen Huarong may drool, but possessive?He wouldn't take that risk.

It's even more impossible for Xu Liangxing. This person has to hint at everything he wants, and waits for others to deliver it to him. It's fine if he is an official, but a woman, how can Zhuang help him?His first echelon of desire is official career and profit. There are many women. If the opportunity is suitable, he will just play around. If it is not suitable, he will not be so attached to a certain person.

Only this Marquis Xuan Ping had no sense of presence in this case, until the time of the confession, it appeared in the words of Princess Yun'an and musician Shi Mi successively.Qiu Xunqing had already gone to inquire about it, but the specific information has not been sent back yet, so Ye Baiting couldn't help but pay attention.

Chai Pengyi is more and more satisfied with the young man in front of him. He is really smart and transparent. If he can be included under his command, he must be a general.

What he said was even more blunt: "Xuan Pinghou is in his forties this year? He is old. Back then, he could gain face in front of the late emperor with his flattery. Ability, isn’t it more honorable? A person like him won’t speak directly when he falls in love with someone, and the people below will judge by himself. If the grade is right, send the person up. It’s up to you that the reward will not be less, if you don’t get it, or if you don’t want to do it, it doesn’t matter, don’t think about the benefits in the future, and don’t even think about getting close again.”

"So in the late autumn of ten years ago, there was a hunt in Xishan, a suburb of Beijing."

"Hunting?" Ye Baiting glanced past Xiang Zi'an, so this is where the disappearance in the barren mountain happened?

Xiang Zi'an nodded slightly.

Darkness glides across the bottom of Ye Baiting's eyes, high mountains, dense forests, and wild animals are really excellent places to dump corpses.

Chai Pengyi: "This crowd hunt was gathered by the Zhuang family. They used almost all their skills and contacts. Most of the people who came here were men, nobles, and high-ranking officials. Hunting was just a cover. No one would compete. No one cares, the guards under him go out to meet the scene, and it’s fine to add some meat and vegetables, what they want to 'hunt' is beauty."

"Master Zhuang has prepared different girls to deal with men of different classes. Most of them are voluntary and unwilling. Mr. Zhuang can also 'persuade' them to be voluntary. Ziyuan is the most special one. I don't know the nature of this hunt. , what will happen when you come here... Her husband's hospital has been in some trouble recently. Someone came to smash the hospital, saying that he had put someone to death. Since then, Mrs. Zhuang helped her out."

"We've known each other for a few months, Mrs. Zhuang didn't know how much she helped her, and never asked for anything in return. This time I was worried, and said that there is a nobleman who understands music theory. It's very important to her, and I really don't want to make a mistake... After Zi Yuan asked about the occasion and the atmosphere, she said that she could help."

"Famous for her piano skills for more than ten years, although Ziyuan has kept a low profile, she doesn't never stop playing. She will occasionally attend some small talk places, or invited by great artists. Since the purpose of hunting is to show masculinity , Xiong Dazhao Wufeng, although Ziyuan is a woman, she also has national sentiments, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong. How could she know that what Zhuang said was one thing, but when it actually happened, it was another thing."

"The common people will be filled with righteous indignation when they see the drama of 'Forcing a good woman into prostitution', but the nobles are different. Some people like to watch beautiful women cry every day, and the ground is not working. From resisting to crying, and then undressing and committing themselves , proud - broken inch by inch..."

Ye Baiting's eyes flickered slightly: "They...forced Zi Yuan."

Chai Pengyi: "I didn't expect to go to that point at first. This Ziyuan is so beautiful, with black eyebrows, vermilion lips, peach cheeks and pink face, willow waist lightly swaying, and she is charming and enchanting. But she doesn't know that she is attractive. This figure is not swaying - swaying - swaying, does not look at anyone, winks and makes a spring wave, and just caresses the piano. Her fingers are also really beautiful, slender and white, like the sliced ​​onion, It's moist and smooth, the fingertips are powdery, and every time you hook the strings, it seems to be able to arouse a man's heart."

"She only prepared a song. What's the reason for the honorable person to sit down? How could she only listen to a song. Mrs. Zhuang came over to persuade her, just like the old bustard in the brothel, with a set of speech skills, first of all, it was nice , Praise her for playing the piano well, praise the sky, the nobles really have more to say, then analyze the pros and cons for her, what will be the bad consequences of offending her, what are the benefits of getting through it, just the contacts, what she does The doctor's husband doesn't have to be afraid of others smashing the hospital... - back - back, coax people, let's talk when we can't coax them."

"The county horse was young at the time, and he was still trying to win over the princess. He didn't dare to do anything too outrageous, but he blended into the circle and embraced his thighs. That's right. Zhuang's face was red, and he was white. Stop and push hard, push Ziyuan to move forward. Xu Liangxing is the most thieves, he was present throughout the whole process, but he didn't participate in the whole process, and died early drunk on the table, sleeping from beginning to end, as if he had nothing to do with him."

"Zi Yuan never knew the truth until she realized it slowly, the anger of being betrayed, the imprisonment of being unable to get out, it must be uncomfortable to be uncomfortable, and struggling is also necessary to struggle, but isn't this what the nobleman sees? The wine is playing, and the excitement is on Let’s create an atmosphere for the people present to make a fuss, what’s wrong with that? She’s just a commoner, if you ask for it, you’ll ask for it, and even if you ask for it, others can ask for it again, anyway, it’s a rare opportunity... ..."

"Even though this is the case, Ziyuan refused to agree to it, and the dagger reached her neck—why can't you disappoint the nobleman? Guess, what else does the Zhuang family do?"

Ye Baiting clenched her fingertips tightly: "...she grabbed Ziyuan's husband."

Chai Pengyi clapped his hands: "That's right, her husband was indeed arrested. The Zhuang family is a man who knows how to do things, and he has poured medicine on her husband early on, and he is on the side. What I want is you to submit. Are you going to commit suicide? Then first Watch your husband die, this man is so pitiful, he has superb medical skills, countless living people, he has done good deeds all his life, just because he married a woman like you, he is plagued by bad luck, he will die in vain, no one collects his body, no grave and no monument... ..."

"Ziyuan's only man who has been sincere to her in her life is this man. How could she be willing? She is also really ruthless. She didn't cut her own neck with the dagger down, and tore through the button of the placket, revealing—a small piece of skin—"

"She told Mrs. Zhuang that her adoptive father and adoptive mother were in the skinny horse business. No one had seen or learned more about things in the brothel than her. Today, she can do this, and I promise to let the nobles Satisfied, but her husband had to send it all back, so he was left in a daze, not knowing anything, and just pretended that... nothing happened. She also threatened Zhuang, saying that she Since she knows how to seduce a man, and also knows how to catch a man's heart in bed, if this matter can't be done well - she has plenty of ways to blow the pillow and let the nobleman kill Zhuang Shi!"

"Ms. Zhuang really sent her husband back. It's just a negotiation. As long as Ziyuan obeys today, she will have a handle on Ziyuan? This doctor-heaven doesn't know what happened, she is not afraid of being retaliated by Ziyuan, as long as she doesn't To the point where the fish is dead and the net is broken, you can talk about anything."

"But the game was really crazy that day. It wasn't just Marquis who was present. Everyone was drunk. The cups were mixed, and you came and went. How could there be any sense? The county horse also entered the field... This woman, Just be played to death."

"Poor Daiqin master, everyone respected by everyone, under the desolate night, stroking the autumn frost tune over and over again, until the fragrance fades away... Tsk tsk, it's so miserable."

Just by imagining the scene at that time, Ye Baiting knew how cruel this incident was and how painful this girl must have been.

His voice was sarcastic: "What about after that? Even for ordinary people, life and death are important matters. Ziyuan will die after she dies?"

Chai Pengyi smiled sinisterly: "Otherwise? If you die, you will die. You are not a clean woman. Just dig a hole, bury some soil, or pass by a well, just throw it away, and there is no trace. Who knows what happened? When her doctor husband came over, Mrs. Zhuang said that she had finished playing the piano and left, and she insisted on leaving. It was dark and the road was far away, and others were not worried, but she was stubborn, and you, a husband, would not come to pick her up. There was an accident, who can be blamed? Maybe there was no accident, people just didn’t want to be with you, anyway, they don’t know.”

Ye Baiting looked at his fingers: "What about after that? Let's forget it?"

Chai Pengyi shook his head: "Not really. This dianthus is good at medicine and has many patients. He is busy from morning to night every day. His wife is in a peaceful mood. There is nothing wrong with him. Of course he didn't notice. He really likes Ziyuan, unlike others. The man confines her at home, and she can do whatever she wants, as long as she is safe and happy, he doesn't care. That day was the same as usual, he was busy in the hospital for a day, and fell asleep after drinking a cup of tea in the afternoon .He thought he was tired, and he didn't know that he had been kidnapped—Tong went to Xishan and came back."

"My wife is missing, and I don't know if she is alive or dead. He has searched for days without any results. Everyone persuaded him to think about it and look forward, but he couldn't think about it. In the end, the medical center was closed, so he investigated this matter. The government didn't help. He just came by himself, it doesn’t matter if no one is interested, he just wants to find his wife, he wants to see people alive, and he wants to see dead bodies when he dies.”

"Tsk, he's quite smart—a man with good medical skills and a bright future. He was fascinated by a woman, or a dead woman, and made a fuss everywhere. -Return to the officer, -Return to the petition, and he won't be beaten. Give up, silly...just after two or three years, he died too, and this matter will be completely over, no one will remember."

Ye Baiting stared at Chai Pengyi: "It's true that no one remembers? Not entirely."

Chai Pengyi flicked his sleeves: "Except for us old people in the officialdom, there are probably only people they have sponsored?"

"This woman is probably born with a disease. Otherwise, how could she not lay eggs for so long? I don't have one, so I often support the children in the Salesian Church for comfort. Her husband is also well coaxed by her. He doesn't have a son. I care about it, and together with her, I took in a few apprentices, adopted sons and daughters, those who study piano learn piano, and those who study medicine study medicine... Ziyuan is quite good at winning people's hearts, the men outside like it, everyone respects music, and her husband loves it , friends cherish it, and children like it too.”

"She had an accident, and her husband made such a mess. These people helped to talk, and the disturbance was quite big, but it soon broke up. Her husband died again. No matter how righteous the friends are, they are not relatives. How much can they help? Those children What's more, when they met, the younger one couldn't speak yet, and the older one was only in his teens, what could he do? After a long time, he forgot. This time is the most ruthless, and everything can be buried."

At the end of Chai Pengyi's speech, he looked at Ye Baiting and said earnestly: "Look, it's just so pitiful to have no family. You've known me for a short time and be wary of me. I understand, but don't push others too far. As long as you believe in me, I will take care of you." I can give you more protection and warmth—you are different from the people here, and neither am I."

"I can be your family member, shelter you from the wind and rain, and let you rest in peace, as long as you want."

Alright—the confession made Ye Baiting amused: "Do you know what family is?"

Family members support each other, embrace each other, guard forever, never betray, never give up——

"You too?"

He didn't think about himself, but when he thought about what happened to Ziyuan, and then looked at the two couples in this case, he just felt ironic.

Some couples are committed to life and death, unswervingly determined, and use all their strength to follow each other and protect each other, even if they die; In life, you also need to have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and enjoy endless wealth; some couples use each other, what they want is each other's resources, the face in front of others, once there is a greater benefit or crisis, they immediately discard it like a shoe...

And Chai Pengyi used these as talking points, talked freely, pointed out the country, and there was nothing on his face except a sense of superiority that he didn't know where he came from. What face did he have to mention family?If he really has those valuable qualities he thought, talking about this matter would definitely not be such expressions.

The smile on Chai Pengyi's face stopped: "Whether you deserve it or not is better than your white-eyed wolf brother-in-law. You are still young, and you don't know how to speak. I don't blame you, but once or twice, and more. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ye Baiting brushed the corner of his clothes on his knees: "Unfortunately, I don't really want my family."

I want to bask in the sun, escape from prison or forget it. I have no money, no house, no job opportunities, and I have to fight with scum. It’s better to stay in prison first. Now I don’t have to worry about eating and drinking. I have a hand stove to take a bath. What kind of bath do you want to use? What kind of bath beans are used for beans, and will the high bed soft pillow be far behind?After accumulating enough strength, why not do it?

Ye Baiting stood up, with a tall and straight figure, her brows stretched out, and sparks sparkled in her eyes.

He knew why the murderer stood by for a long time when killing Shen Huarong and Zhuang.

"gone."

Chai Pengyi suddenly felt something was wrong.

He seemed to be in charge of the entire conversation, and it was he himself who suggested the information about the murder. He even tried to persuade Ye Baiting in the middle of the conversation, but wasn't the young man's gesture of turning around and leaving too chic?

Could it be...was being used?This person didn't come to join the gang at all, but just to collect information?

Chai Pengyi suppressed his excess: "Son, do you know what happens to people who seek skins from tigers?"

Ye Baiting's voice was light: "Oh, what's the matter?"

Chai Pengyi squinted his eyes: "I don't mind being used by you——cooperate, everyone takes what they need, you are very smart, and I am willing to tolerate some small tricks, but if you want to take it——but don't return it, but Don't blame me for being aggressive!"

"Tsk, you made the appointment, you talked about the matter, and you don't believe me when I come to join the group myself," Ye Baiting flipped through the scumbag's quotations in his mind, "If you insist on thinking that way, I can't help it."

Chai Pengyi was even more angry: "Boy, with your attitude, you are going to fight."

Ye Baiting: "That's also the first to flirt."

Chai Pengyi narrowed his eyes: "Believe it or not, I won't let you go back!"

"You think I came here unprepared?" Ye Baiting sneered, without turning his head, "It's not good for the leader to be too emotional, he can't lead the team well."

The two came and went, exchanged words, and the opposite cell seemed to be unable to stand it any longer: "Heh, a group of people who only know how to talk, they are extremely boring. I thought I could see some big show, so I fell asleep."

Chai Pengyi laughed out loud, licked his lips, and looked at Ye Baiting with great interest: "I really want to try-test your skills-come here, give me I catch him!"

Immediately, many people stood up in the nearby cell, squeezed their arms, twisted their legs, some undid the door, some unlocked it, and the air tensed instantly!

Ye Baiting was not in a hurry, she snapped her fingers with a 'snap'.

"I'll see who dares to move! I'm tired of living, aren't I!"

"This envoy's territory, who dares to move rashly?"

The surroundings were instantly quiet, the one who unloaded the door stopped, the one who opened the lock withdrew his hand, and the one who was quiet in the prison also probed his head and looked around——

Without it, they are too familiar with this voice, isn't it Shen Jiang and Qiu Yiqing! - A hundred households, - a commander, who can provoke it?

Taking advantage of this time, Ye Baiting came out quickly, followed closely by Xiang Zi'an who covered her lips with a fan, and behind them were Gentiana Qin and Gouzi.

Chai Pengyi narrowed his eyes: "Stand up straight! It's a ventriloquist, others learned it to bluff you, what are you afraid of! Even if the surnamed Qiu really came, would he support a prisoner? But it's like being raised by Jin Yiwei. After feeding two pieces of meat, I thought it belonged to someone else, so what are you dreaming about? You, you, you——give it to me!"

Xiang Zian ran very fast, and - while running - pointed at Qin Gentiana with the handle of his fan: "Silly, it's your turn!"

"You need to say it!"

Gentiana Qin moved her fingers together, turned her wrists, swiped, swiped, piled up concealed weapons - mud balls, which can't kill people, and it's enough to see a dog eat shit if it falls.

Ye Baiting walked out calmly, the dog stepped on the back of a fallen person, barked and followed...

There is Xiang Zi'an coming from time to time-mouth, familiar, lifelike, and the voice of someone who must be wary of. Most people in the cell dare not move around, worrying whether the Jinyi guards will really come over, but Chai Pengyi's people are different, rushing It came very fast, and there were a lot of people——

There are only three people on the other side—the dog, if they let them escape like this, wouldn't it be a great shame!

Qin Gentiana turned over - Bo Ren, turned around and ran forward, passed Xiang Zi'an in two or three steps, and smiled like a gloat: "Young boy, please ask for more blessings, master is gone!"

"Don't be a fool to worry about it!" Xiang Zi'an blushed, refusing to admit defeat, "Even if I'm at the end of my rope, just by opening my mouth, I can find flowers!"

The key question is whether the young master can save him or not.

It is really the body of the beauty lamp, the wind blows and it will be broken. At the beginning, it was in the front, but now it has fallen behind. If it is not saved, there will be no meat to eat in the future!Save it, it's still a bit difficult.

When he was in a dilemma, he felt a gust of wind blowing, Ye Baiting brushed past them, his voice was calm and calm: "Thank you, I'll leave first."

The dog barked and ran beside him, feeling that it was inappropriate, clawed the ground, and jumped to the front in an instant!

Look carefully again, the dog is still holding the rope in its mouth, and a long cart with two wheels is hanging from the back. Now Ye Baiting is standing on the cart with one foot, and the other foot is slightly Stepping on the ground to borrow strength, just swipe-slide to go far away, it looks like a dog pulling a cart, but in fact it doesn't take much effort, the dog pulls a lonely, the water that people rush forward has no trace, the clouds are light and the wind is light...

I fuck?

All the onlookers tilted their heads, as if we were the only ones struggling to watch!I can't even see it!

Xiang Zian: ...

"You're taking the lead!"

The master has collapsed, since you have this ability, why don't you make two small cars and share me with one!

Ye Baiting's voice floated in the wind: "Sorry, Xiao Che refuses to overload."

"Master, wait for me!" Qin Gentiana is not only good at appraising treasures and unlocking locks, but also invincible in lightness kungfu, he just tapped the ground with his toes and flew over.

Xiang Zian: ...

Master's eyes straightened, it's over, it seems that today I really have to explain here.

"What are you doing here?" Ye Baiting felt slightly disgusted when he saw Gentiana Qin coming side by side.

"Woof!" Gouzi also barked at him.

Gentiana:……

"Bring back the little boy, and I'll give you extra meat alone."

"You should have said earlier——" Qin Gentian turned back immediately, and ran to Xiang Zi'an's side in an instant, kicked two enemies away, picked him up and ran away.

Xiangzi Anwei was held up by the hard shoulder, and almost vomited on the spot: "I'm a human, not a sandbag!"

The people behind were anxious and asked Chai Pengyi: "What should I do?"

"What's the hurry?" Chai Pengyi looked gloomy, "Such a big commotion, how could the jailers not be alarmed, just wait, if they can't go back, within five breaths, they will be caught by the people who came over and taken to the execution room."

Ye Baiting stepped on the skateboard calmly, counting silently in his heart, five, four, three, two,——

"Snapped"!

As he snapped his fingers, the gong sounded loudly outside: "The water is gone—"

It's a big deal for Beizhen Fusi to run into water. Everyone has been well-trained and ran to put out the fire. In prison... who cares?Anyway, the gate is locked, as solid as gold, no matter how chaotic it is inside, it doesn't matter who lives and who dies, you can watch your own fate, at worst, Jin Yiwei will come back a few more times and take you to the mass grave.

……

Outside White Horse Street.

Qiu Yiqing got the news from the deputy general Zheng Ying: "Is the prison in chaos?"

"Yes."

"Where is Xuanfeng?"

"Following people."

"That's fine."

"The rats are starting to burrow...don't care?"

"Isn't it someone?" Qiu Su's green eyebrows are sharp like swords, and his eyes are deep, as if sweeping away the turbulent waves in the dark night, "If there is no big trouble, don't worry about it. See!"

"Yes!"

The author has something to say: Ye Baiting (smiling): Step on my little skateboard, it will never be stuck in traffic~

Xiang Zi'an (laughs, but you have to be strong even if you can't laugh): Let's learn how to meow, how to command and make meow, act coquettishly in front of the young master, and show our teeth and claws when we are fierce~

Qin Gentiana (carrying people like nothing): draw a dragon on the left and a rainbow on the right. Those who practice martial arts should remember that the benevolent is invincible!

Qiu Xunqing (who was not present but joined Silky): Please give my lover a glass of Mojito.

Shen Jiang (obsessed): No, no one told me that I need to have this skill to run errands!Asking for a head-bending posture, how can I show the nobleness and connotation of a hundred households?Waiting online, very urgent.
