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

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the roast chicken that the fat man is eating now. He said it was greasy, but he didn’t know that Liu Jinyi’s family was poor when he was young. On weekdays, what he looked forward to most was the roast chicken his mother bought every New Year’s Eve.

At that time, the family had no money and could not afford oil and salt. Later, when he became an official, he thought that the good times would finally come, but unexpectedly, his mother was seriously ill. After a delay of more than ten years, he still could only live in poverty. Don't dare to fill your stomach with meals, so everything comes with my daughter first.

In Liu Jinyi's dictionary, greasy is almost equivalent to delicious. The greasy roast chicken in the mouth of a fat man happens to be the favorite delicacy of Liu Jinyi, who looks thin and has little oil and salt on weekdays. He only smells this smell, Liu Jinyi already felt that most of his illness was cured, and his appetite would recover immediately, so he could eat a few bowls of rice.

There are also two vegetarian dishes, which are also things he likes to eat on weekdays. On weekdays, if colleagues have banquets, these two dishes are often served, which can be regarded as his preference. Roast chicken is fine, and he occasionally recalls the past on weekdays , mentioned occasionally, but these are not even known to his own daughter, how could anyone know so clearly?

Is it really just a coincidence?

Just as Liu Jinyi's thoughts kept flashing through his mind, the fat man had already swallowed a chicken leg and cooked half a bowl of rice. He looked up and saw Liu Jinyi still standing stupidly, and hurriedly greeted him:

"Brother Liu, what are you doing standing there stupidly? You and I have only been in this prison for a few days, but we can be regarded as sharing weal and woe, and we have a brotherly relationship. Although my little lady spent money to buy this wine and meat, brothers In the meantime, what’s yours is mine, you don’t have to be restrained, eat it while it’s hot, it won’t taste good if it’s cold.”

Having said that, he still ate more than half of the roast chicken, leaving only one drumstick for Liu Jinyi. Instead, he gave Liu Jinyi more of the two ingredients.

Although Liu Jinyi was puzzled, he couldn't think of any other possibility, and he was really hungry, so he didn't hesitate. He sat down and gobbled it up. Sense of sight.

Of course, if this was really a meal for beheading, the jailer would definitely inform him in advance, and Liu Jinyi just thought about it, so he concentrated on making the meal.

In the evening, when the jailer came to deliver food again, as soon as the food box was opened, Liu Jinyi was confused again: it was still his favorite food.

If the two meals can't explain anything, in the next few days, the meals delivered by the jailer are basically Liu Jinyi's favorites, which makes him unable to lie to himself. This is just a coincidence, and he must be familiar with his preferences. People manage the jailers, and this improves their meals.

Liu Jinyi thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't think of any other possibility. He could only consider whether his daughter had asked for a mentor. Although Chen Min couldn't repay his innocence, he could only pay for the guards so that he could live a little more comfortably in prison. .

Because there were too many prisoners in the prison, within a few days after Liu Jinyi was arrested, the prison stopped visiting relatives, so he was unable to see Jingniang, and asked about his daughter's current situation in person. A few words and guesses about the reactions of the people in the third division when they were interrogated.

In the past few days when he was in prison, the third department interrogated him three or four times, asking about the situation during the provincial examination. Although Liu Jinyi was ill, he still tried his best to recall the scene at that time, because the process of his confession was perfect and there were no loopholes. , so that he can survive until now.

Looking at their stern faces, Liu Jinyi knew that the case might not go well.

Because his answers were almost the same for several interrogations, they stopped interrogating him later, and Liu Jinyi couldn't continue to learn about the situation outside, so he was somewhat blind.

However, when everyone in the prison was panicking, one day the prison gate opened, and instead of new prisoners coming in, the previous students who complained about injustice, as well as a group of high-ranking inner curtains headed by Zhang Zhixian were brought in. The examiner let it go.

Liu Jinyi was not the only one who was stunned, even many officials who were released did not expect to regain their freedom so easily.

When the jailer passed by Liu Jinyi's cell, Liu Jinyi couldn't hold back and reached out to grab the jailer, and asked a few words:

"Dare to ask, the three divisions have not had a large-scale interrogation in the past two days, and some of the officials who have been released have not even been interrogated. Why are they all released today?"

When the jailer was pulled back, he planned to get angry, but when he turned his head and saw that the person who held him back was someone who had been arranged by the benefactor to pay special attention to, his expression softened, and he said with a smile:

"Fortunately for them, it is said that a man named Chen Mingmin wrote an article recently. After reading it, the emperor thought he wrote it well, so he personally interviewed him and released these people according to his suggestion. I think Ah, you are coming soon too, let's have some fun."

Liu Jinyi immediately realized that what he said must be Chen Min. He did not expect his mentor to really intervene in this matter, and it also attracted the attention of the Holy One. For a moment, Liu Jinyi, who had originally planned for the worst, couldn't help it. There is a glimmer of hope.

Although he told Jing Niang not to ask for help, he did so out of helplessness, so that his daughter would have something to rely on when he was gone, so that she would not end up living on the streets.

In fact, from the bottom of my heart, who doesn't want to live a good life?Especially for scholars who value fame more than life, if they are notorious for thousands of years because of participating in fraud, they will feel even more bitter.

Chen Min's participation and the release of these officials gave Liu Jinyi new hope. He counted the days to live, seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in prison, and his heart gradually became anxious.

Finally one day, the familiar jailer came over, but instead of the food box in his hand, he put the key for them to leave.

The jailer opened the cell door, unchained them, and congratulated them with a smile:

"Congratulations, both adults, you can go out now."

Even though he had been harshly treated by the jailer before, Liu Jinyi couldn't show his face at this moment. He couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth, and walked towards the gate of the prison. His steps became faster and faster until he saw the light coming in from the gate. The feeling of the rest of life after the catastrophe came to my heart, and I felt that the outside world seemed like a lifetime away.

After receiving the news, Jing Niang, who was waiting at the gate of the prison early, saw her father in the crowd at a glance. Her eyes were sour, and she rushed over with a shout of Dad, and hugged the thin Liu Jinyi into her arms .

Liu Jinyi also had tears in his eyes, touched Jing Niang's head in his arms, and comforted:

"My dear boy, you have suffered a lot these days."

Jing Niang did not speak, tears fell like broken pearls, she bit her lip and shook her head, refusing to let Liu Jinyi go no matter what.

Those who came to welcome Liu Jinyi included Jing Niang and Chen Min. Liu Jinyi couldn't push his daughter away, so he had no choice but to let his daughter hold him, and saluted his teacher:

"I have seen the teacher, and the students are ashamed. I am grateful to the teacher for helping me."

He looked at Chen Min again, and saw that Chen Min had changed from his old Confucian dress to wearing a court uniform, and was dressed like an official. He was a little dumbfounded for a while, and couldn't help asking:

"Teacher, this is..."

Chen Min didn't expect the situation to come to this point in the end, he let out a long sigh, and said:

"It's a long story, come with me first, let's find a place where we can talk."
