After wearing the book, he was favored by the villains in line

Counting this day, counting this day, Liu Jinyi has made up his mind and has been in this prison for a little less than a month.

Compared with those scholars who were later arrested as cheating, his attitude is calm, or in other words, when he first got the news of cheating in the imperial examination, he immediately understood the situation he was about to face.

At that time, he had already gone home as quickly as possible to take care of his sick mother and daughter, destroyed some shocking essays that he had recorded casually that could not be seen in daylight, and then asked his daughter to hide the little money left at home.

Even that little money was saved by him for several months of frugality, but it was still only enough for his mother's one month's medicine money, not even counting his daughter's meal money.

He knew that although his daughter looked weak, she was extremely tough in her bones, otherwise she would not have known the youngest daughter of the Dali Temple Qing's family. If he was imprisoned, he would definitely ask for help everywhere.

He knew that he might not be able to escape this disaster, so he repeatedly told his daughter not to ask others for help, especially the friendship between the youngest daughter of Dali Temple Qing's family and his own daughter. If I really asked for help, and finally involved Dali Siqing, this friendship may have to be ruined.

His Jing'er is just over ten years old this year, and he still has to drag his grandmother who is still seriously ill. If he is lucky enough to escape, it's okay. Living hard.

But Jing Niang just bit her lips and shed tears in silence, refusing to respond, Liu Jinyi understood that her daughter would never listen to him, and was determined to ask for help.

Liu Jinyi had no choice but to say to his daughter:

"I used to study in Baisong Academy when I was young, and my mentor, Mr. Chen Min, is now being resettled in Lengfu. My father won't let you beg others, because the case is very involved. The first emperor himself rectified the fraud in the imperial examination. If you are not careful, It will lose your head, and others will not be able to protect themselves, if you really ask, you might as well ask your teacher, maybe there is still a way out."

Only then did Jingniang reluctantly respond, and Liu Jinyi touched the top of her daughter's head, and wanted to give one or two more instructions. The officers and soldiers had already broken into the door and came to arrest him and put him in prison.

Liu Jinyi had expected it a long time ago, so he just sighed, turned his head to take a last look at his daughter, and then calmly left with the officers and soldiers.

Behind her, Jing Niang couldn't make a sound, she reached out her hand to grab her father's clothes, crying to keep her father, but was stopped by officers and soldiers from left to right, and could only watch helplessly as her father was taken away.

At first, Jingniang listened to Liu Jinyi's words and didn't ask Nan Zhihan.

She followed the officers and soldiers from a distance, and saw her father being imprisoned in the big prison, and saw other people who were arrested in the prison. Some relatives and friends came to bribe the jailer to meet each other at the door.

Seeing this, Jing Niang had an idea in her heart.

After being caught in prison, Liu Jinyi was not as calm as before.

First of all, it was because of the environment in the prison. He thought of everything, but he forgot that he had been weak since he was a child, and he was malnourished all the year round. The prison was cold and humid, and it was the end of winter and the beginning of spring.

In the middle of the night, it was as if there were rats gnawing in the cracks in the bones, and the cold air went straight from the soles of the feet to the sky.

After finally surviving the long night, when it was time to serve meals, the jailer threw in two cornbreads through the door, as well as a small bowl of sour rotten meat and hard vegetables.

It is worth mentioning that this is a meal for two people. Because the prison is full, two people have to be locked up in each cell, so that everyone can be released.

The three main examiners and assistant examiners like Zhang Zhixian, Lu Cheng, and He Jinzhong certainly don't have to suffer this kind of hardship. Although they are also "in prison", they are treated much better than them. Even the conditions of ordinary examiners are not as good as Liu Jinyi's. It's hard to bear.

The reason why this was done to him was precisely because his position in the provincial examination was that of a court officer, and he was one of the people most likely to accept bribes and commit fraud. The worst cell, and the most unpalatable water.

Liu Jinyi survived in such an environment for three or four days, and finally collapsed. He developed a high fever that night, and his whole body was burned in a daze. The mental head has gone big.

And his other roommate, who worked as a test paper inspector in this provincial examination, was originally the editor of Zhaowen Museum. When he was imprisoned, he was a fat man weighing more than 200 catties. Born in a rich family, squandering their own property, the family has a grumpy and beautiful wife whose parents decide to marry in, and there is a small and gentle outer room behind the wife's back.

He was even more unlucky than Liu Jinyi. When the officers and soldiers went to arrest him, he was sinking in the gentle countryside outside, and was arrested by the officers and soldiers naked.

Now it's all right, the prison is also squatting, and the matter of having a concubine is also known by the eldest wife.

However, thanks to his fat body, he did not fall ill like Liu Jinyi, but he suffered a serious crime. He lost a lot of fat. Every day when the jailer came, he asked the most about his gentle little girl. Did Yi's outer room come to see him?

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, until three or four days later, Jing Niang raised some money to visit Liu Jinyi, but his fairy-like little wife, who loved him so much that she couldn't help herself, still didn't come to see him.

Seeing that her father had only been in prison for a few days before becoming so ill, Jingniang immediately blushed and cried so much that Liu Jinyi couldn't persuade him.

This aspect finally made Jingniang resolve to beg Nan Zhihan regardless of her father's instructions.

Liu Jinyi was so ill that he was on the verge of death, but he got better after seeing his daughter, probably because he was worried that his daughter was alive alone, and because of his obsession, he slowly regained his breath. At any rate, it wasn't so hot that he was hugged by the fat man as a stove at night.

——By the way, his recovery from the disease may have something to do with the fat man holding him to sleep at night. After all, more than 200 catties of fat can keep him warm.

Of course, when one's life is at stake, one doesn't care about decorum.

But the days after that will be much better. The jailer, who was extremely mean to them before, suddenly treated them much better. He not only gave them thick quilts to keep warm at night, but also provided them with two meals a day. The leftovers of rotten meat were replaced by high-quality wine, meat and vegetables.

The fat man was overjoyed, and vowed that it must be his gentle and careless outer room that stuffed money for the jailer. While grabbing a roasted chicken leg and gobbling it up, he was worried that he didn't have much money for the outer room, so he used it for himself Could it be that she doesn't spend enough on her own in the future?

In the end, I would like to sigh that this roast chicken is too greasy, not as good as the sauced duck in a certain restaurant in the east of the city. The jailer's taste in food is really unsightly.

Liu Jinyi, however, silently scanned the dishes in the food box that were particularly in line with his liking, and inexplicably felt that this was unlikely to be due to the little fairy in the fat man's mouth.
