Asking Immortals: From the Republic of China to Marvel

Chapter 942: Reason for Borrowing Life (2)

Within the next three months, Yunfeng and Laosi had a deep understanding of how dark the prisons of this era were.

As soon as they entered the cell, the two men, who had not yet recovered from their uneasiness, were signaled by the jailer, who bluntly asked them to take out some money.

However, how can these two people who are new to the world understand the unspoken rules of the prison? !The family property had just been seized, and the Chu family already had no money, and they were thinking that if they were upright and their shadows were slanted, why should I give them money? !

Although they did not provoke the jailer, the two of them excused themselves by saying that they had nothing on them, but it was obvious to everyone that they were not prepared to pay a dime.

The jailer responded with a smile and said he was not in a hurry. He could just write a letter to his family and ask his family to send it to them, and locked them in an empty cell.

As several days passed, the jailer urged the two of them several times on the issue of taking the money, and persuaded the two of them emotionally and rationally.

In the end, Yun Feng, who felt he couldn't afford the money and didn't want to give it, got angry and yelled at the jailer. After all, after eating leftovers that were unpalatable for several days, no one would be in a good mood.

The fourth child, who didn't have time to stop Yunfeng, suddenly felt that something was about to happen. The next moment, the two of them received twenty killing blows from each of them, which almost made them unable to recover.

The two men were put in shackles and anklets as the jailer repeatedly uttered curses such as being ungrateful and being fined for not eating the toast.

And they were thrown from the cell where criminal suspects were held into the prison where prisoners were actually held. It was the first time that the two of them saw what the prison looked like.

Walking staggeringly down the corridor, it was dark and oppressive. The little light coming through the grated door could barely see the prisoners with dull eyes inside.

Different from ordinary building renovations like the prison cells, this is a large cell wrapped tightly with heavy bricks and stones, which basically eliminates the possibility of ordinary people escaping from prison.

The two were taken into one of the cells, which held more than thirty people at the same time. Although the space was not small, it still seemed crowded when there were more people.

After being urged to get in quickly and kicked twice as if to vent their anger, the cell door was closed. The first thing that caught their attention when entering was the big jar in the corner.

There was vaguely unknown dirt sticking to the mouth of the altar, or water marks after the liquid dried. The two of them immediately understood that it was the toilet shared by everyone in the cell.

The smell of feces and urine mixed with the smell of sweat and feet in the air almost made the two of them faint on the spot. Their bare feet were still stepping on the sticky hay. Their first reaction was simply disgusting.

Even though they were not full in the class room and had no food in their stomachs, the two of them immediately retched like crazy and vomited out a lot of acidic water.

The other people in the cell did not pay too much attention to the reactions of the two. They all stayed quietly. Only in this way can they avoid physical exertion.

The newcomer had just arrived and had company, so no one was blindly bullying them yet. The two of them carefully found an open space against the wall and sat down, trying their best to use their strength to prevent the shackles from becoming too heavy.

The first day passed so peacefully. In such an environment, it was natural that he had not slept all night. He was pressed and scratched by the heavy shackles and anklets, and the skin contact areas were already red and swollen.

Taking advantage of the meal delivery time, the jailer pointed out to the two of them that if the room was not good, they could change it. As long as they were willing to pay for it, even a single room would be fine.

In addition, things like lighting lamps, eating, drinking, applying medicine...even shackles and anklets can also be removed.

All services are clearly priced and are available for single payment, monthly subscription, annual subscription, or lifetime membership.

In addition to letting people out directly, all other services can be purchased here with money.

The two people who heard this could only respond and think about it, but in fact they were so short of money that they couldn't afford a penny at all.

Perhaps seeing that the two were young, an old fritter who couldn't bear to hear their case came out to give them some advice.

It is said that provoking an official can be either big or small. He only needs to write a complaint explaining the whole story and submit it to the county magistrate to be acquitted.

It happened that Yunfeng had been in private school for a few years and could read a few big characters, so he asked the jailer for pen and paper. Of course, this also cost money.

The two of them only said that they would settle the bill together after going out, and also asked their family members to send some benefits to the jailers before they fooled them.

However, what the two naive people didn't know was that the bribed officials had already filed charges against them for provoking officials and obstructing official duties.

And the magistrate, who was happily having a romantic relationship with his concubine all day long, had already made this a solid case. After all, they were just a small family with neither culture nor power.

There were only a few people in the clan, and even an unjust case would not cause any trouble. Naturally, the magistrate would not waste his time and hastily closed the case with Qiuhou's exile.

Even when the complaint was submitted to the magistrate, he didn't even read it, and even the interrogation process was omitted. This shows how insignificant ordinary people are in the eyes of such people.

Then the banishment notice was issued, and the jailer knew that the two would not be able to get out for a while.

The accounts with pen and paper have not yet been settled, and the two people who know the situation at home are extremely resistant to writing letters home and adding to the burden on the family.

Under such circumstances, the jailer showed no mercy when he abused the two of them. Regardless of whether they had enough money, he would instigate other prisoners to steal their food, and would drag them out every now and then to find an excuse to beat them.

Anyway, as long as they have a breath of life before being exiled, it doesn't matter how much they mess up.

After all, it is the way of survival for jailers. They will never let you go just because you are poor or pitiful. Otherwise, it will be difficult to collect money from people who come in later.

And there are many such situations in this prison, not just the two of them, there are even people who are worse than them.

They had endured this for three consecutive months, and the two of them were tortured to the point of dying. The hardship was unimaginable to normal people.

The shackles and anklets had already worn out the neck, hands and ankles, and since no medicine had been applied, the wounds had already festered and were infested with maggots.

Because the fourth child was protecting him, Yunfeng, as the younger brother, was in slightly better condition, but not much better.

After the shackles and anklets were taken off, the two people were shaking when they walked out of the prison. Of course, the jailer would not be so kind, and he just wanted to take back everything in the prison.

After leaving the prison, the officer responsible for escorting the two men put heavier shackles and anklets on them, almost crushing the hungry and weak two men on the spot.

On the day of his exile, Chu's father, Chu's mother, the third child, the fourth wife, and their children all came to see him off. Everyone had tears in their eyes.

However, before the two of them could chat more with their families, they were urged by the escorting officers to set off on their way, completely ignoring their pleading.

Of course, one of the reasons was that they signaled the Chu family to pay bribes but could not get the money. During this period, the two of them also saw the people who had gone to their house to make trouble before.

They all looked fierce and happy, as if they had been waiting for this moment for a long time. At this moment, the two of them seemed to have a premonition of the next outcome of their family.

But what can they do now that they are prisoners?It was impossible to fight against the government, and there was no way to redress their grievances. The two of them couldn't help but feel that humanity was in dire straits.
