worthless [rebirth]

"Mo Ziling! Which one is Mo Ziling?"

The next morning, two guards came in and called Chen Ling's name, saying that the Lord wanted to interrogate him.

"It's me." Chen Ling said calmly, stood up and walked out.

All the prisoners here went out well and came back seriously injured, and some even died directly under the torture, so seeing someone being interrogated, all the prisoners showed worried expressions on their faces.However, they were not worried about Chen Ling's safety, but they were worried about themselves. Maybe one day they would be called out and never come back alive.

"Your name is Mo Ziling?" the bearded man asked, his voice was low, and his tone was rarely aggressive, and he was very kind.

Turning around and smiling at him, Chen Ling said, "That's right." Chen Ling didn't know why Wang Anzhi wanted to interrogate himself and what would happen after he got out, so now he was very nervous, the bearded man was kind The tone gave him the only warmth in the past two days, and he felt somewhat comforted in his heart.

The bearded man nodded to him, and said, "My name is Ma Long." After a pause, he told Chen Ling: "Be smart, don't make trouble for yourself, and try to come back alive."

It was obviously a word of concern, but Ma Long, the bandit leader, uttered a bit of madness. Chen Ling almost laughed out loud and pulled the corners of his lips. He said, "Yes, thank you." Then he followed the jailer out.

But what Chen Ling didn't expect was that what he saw after going out was not Wang Anzhi, but Qiu Suo.

"I brought it to you." The jailer said, spreading his hand to Qiu Suo.

Qiu Suo nodded expressionlessly, took out a stack of bank notes with a considerable amount and stuffed them into the hands of the jailer. The jailer went back happily while counting the money.

"Qiu Suo?" Seeing a familiar person outside the prison door, Chen Ling couldn't believe it for a while, and said, "Why are you here?"

"Master asked me to pick you up today." Qiu Suo said indifferently, his words were polite and respectful, "Master, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave first."

"No!" Chen Ling resolutely said, "Ah Chi is still in prison, and I don't know which cell he is locked in. I can't just leave like this."

"The subordinates are only following orders." Qiu Suo said, "Young master, don't worry, the master has always done things properly."

……

"Qiu Suo will come to pick you up from the prison in two days, then you can go with him, don't worry about me, I have my own way to get out."

……

That's right, Jiang Chi did say this to him two days ago. At that time, Chen Ling thought that the other party was just temporarily appeasing him and telling him not to panic, but now it seemed that the other party really had a plan.

"What is Ah Chi's plan, do you know?" Chen Ling asked, if he could not be sure that Jiang Chi would be safe and sound, Chen Ling still felt uneasy.

"The master only said that if he didn't contact his subordinates within two days, he would send them to the prison in Chaozhou. He didn't say anything else." Qiu Suo said, "Maybe he has other plans. We just need to go back to the inn and wait."

"..." Knowing that what Qiu Suo said is not unreasonable, it is indeed a way to wait when there is nothing to do.Looking back at this place where he had been locked up for two days and where he had seen a lot of human emotions and cruelty that he would never have dared to imagine, Chen Ling finally boarded the carriage of Huiyuelai Inn.

***

At the same time, in another large prison with 300 people, a man wearing a gray prison uniform was sitting in a corner, calmly facing all kinds of hardships in the prison. There was even dried blood on his face, looking closely at his sharp facial features, it was undoubtedly Jiang Chi.

Except for Jiang Chi, a death row prisoner, everyone in this cell is temporarily held here. If he is lucky, he may survive until the day he is released from prison and see the light of day again. However, Jiang Chi has not said a word since he came here. So no one knew he was different from everyone else.

Except when the jailer came to give out meals, he would stand up and get a corn bread and a bowl of porridge, he never even left that corner at other times.But even though Jiang Chi is a newcomer, because his appearance is too fierce, and his temperament reveals the majesty of a king, no prisoner in the prison will take the initiative to provoke him.Occasionally, there are a few people who are curious about his identity, and they just whisper to each other.

During the two days in prison, no one would disturb him. It was the rare two days when Jiang Chi could completely calm down and analyze the Chaozhou case.If his analysis is correct, then Wang Anzhi is definitely not the final pusher of this matter. Judging from the conversation between Wang Anzhi and Xiao Yu in the Xiao Family Ancestral Hall that day, both of them are working for the same person, and that person, there is There is a great possibility that they are on duty in the court, or even the people around Jiang Chi.

And the so-called Chaozhou case was just a cover for Jiang Chi to leave the imperial capital and leave the palace. The other party's real purpose was to kill Jiang Chi while he was outside the palace, and to kill him justifiably.

The reason why Jiang Chi dared to be so sure about this idea was because he saw a person in prison, a "dead person".

Almost at the first moment when he was pushed in, Jiang Chi noticed a young man lying on his side on a simple plank bed in the southwest corner of the cell. Read carefully.Compared with the other prisoners' torn clothes, weak body, and constant groans... the man's elegant demeanor and special treatment are particularly eye-catching.

If it wasn't for the words Suiyuge that made Jiang Chi recognize Xiao Tong's character, knowing that he likes literature, is good at calligraphy and painting, he can be regarded as a modest gentleman, and his eyebrows look a bit like Xiao Wang, Jiang Chi would not recognize the other party as Xiao Tong at a glance.

Now it is really certain that Xiao Tong is still alive, and it seems that he did not suffer in prison, on the contrary, he was given a good confession, which further shows that Xiao Yu and Wang Anzhi jointly set up this "invite the king into the urn" situation, For this reason, Xiao Wang did not hesitate to sacrifice his own son.

Jiang Chi thought that he might be able to find the clues he wanted from Xiao Tong, but unfortunately he has not found a suitable opportunity to get close to him in the past two days.Before it was determined whether Xiao Tong was completely ignorant of Xiao Wang's actions or knew his father's evil deeds but was covering them up, Jiang Chi was worried that he would startle the snake if he rushed over like this.

But soon Jiang Chi had a chance to get close to Xiao Tong.

Today, when the prison guards came to deliver the meals, the rice buckets were not filled with hard, dead noodles, or clear gruel that had almost bottomed out, but two full buckets of fish soup and three baskets of white flour steamed buns.Although there wasn't much fish in the fish soup, it still had some fishy smell, which was a great thing for those prisoners who hadn't seen oily water in prison for months or even years.

The prisoners' eyes were already green when they smelled the delicious fish soup, and they rushed to the door like wolves rushing to snatch it.An old man in his sixties was knocked down to the ground even though he was walking very slowly. Just as more and more people stepped on him, Jiang Chi couldn't stand it anymore and squeezed into the crowd to help him The old man bent over and touched another person with his shoulder.

They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

While helping the old man stand up alone, Jiang Chi nodded to Xiao Tong, and said with a faint smile, "I'm Mo Xiao, a member of the imperial capital."

"My name is Xiao Tong, from Chaozhou." Xiao Tong said, looking at the crowd, he shook his head and said: "The food in the prison is so bad, it's no wonder these people want to rob, but many people died in vain life." He smiled at Jiang Chi and said, "Why don't you grab a bowl of fish soup, you won't be able to drink it in a while."

Jiang Chi smiled and said, "Aren't you the same and didn't grab it?"

Xiao Tong was taken aback, looked at his independent bed and books, shook his head, and sighed with a smile: "I am different from them, I have some spare money at home, and my father has already arranged everything for me in the prison, so I have someone to serve me when I eat and drink. You don’t need to eat these prison meals.”

"That's right." Jiang Chi nodded pretending to understand, and said, "I don't know what crime you committed, or who you offended? Since your family background is so powerful, you can be redeemed with a few silver coins." Get out."

"Redemption?" Xiao Tong smiled wryly, "I would rather the family leave me alone, but give all the money used to pay for the jailers to the common people. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has issued many decrees to reduce taxes, but the taxes paid by the common people in Chaozhou Year after year, if I, Xiao Jiafeng, have enough food and clothing, sing songs with wine, and the common people have nothing to eat and nothing to eat, it seems to me that the prison is quieter than the outside, at least out of sight and out of mind."

"I didn't expect Brother Xiao to look like a scholar, but he cared so much about the world." Jiang Chi said.

"Helpless, but my family has always hoped that I can take over the ancestral business and run my own boat business." Xiao Tong shook his head, turned around, sat back on the bed, picked up the book and continued reading.

Xiao Tong seemed unsuspecting towards Jiang Chi, and what he said didn't seem to be false. His heart was indeed full of magnanimity.

In other words, even Xiao Tong was kept in the dark and used by his father.I am afraid that until now, Xiao Tong has not known the news of Cao Xun's death.

Frowning slightly, Jiang Chi felt a little sympathetic to Cao Xun.Born in the emperor's family, he has been used to all kinds of calculations since he was a child. Jiang Chi knows better than anyone how uncomfortable it is to be used or even betrayed by those closest to and trusted by him.After going through this kind of thing a lot, his heart was gradually hardened. If he hadn't met Chen Ling, Jiang Chi didn't know if he would become a cold-blooded monster one day.

"Zi Ling..." Thinking of Chen Ling, Jiang Chi's eyes softened a little.Estimating the time, Chen Ling should have been rescued by Qiu Suo by now.Fortunately, before entering Xiao's mansion, he had already given Qiu Suo an order that if the two parties lost contact within two days, he would be asked to come to Chaozhou Prison to find someone.

"Everyone has a share of today's fish soup!" After all the two barrels of fish soup were distributed, the jailer saw that there were still people who had not received their fish soup, so the jailer shouted: "Those who have drunk the soup stand aside and have not yet received theirs." If you pass, stand here!" Then someone brought several wooden buckets, all of which were filled with hot fish soup.

"You! Did you get the fish soup?" Seeing Jiang Chi standing still, the jailer shouted from the air.

Jiang Chi glanced at him indifferently, said: "No." Then he walked over with the bowl.

The jailer raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Chi, and spooned a large piece of fish into Jiang Chi's bowl before continuing to distribute the fish soup to the others.

Returning to his corner with the soup bowl in his hand, he stared at the fragrant liquid in the bowl with a solemn expression, but he didn't drink it for a long time.

There seems to be something wrong with today's matter. In the past, the prison meals were rice porridge as thin as clear water and steamed buns as hard as turning heads. It was the first time that today it was fish soup and white flour steamed buns.Not only that, in the past, the food in the prison was only enough for 100 people, so everyone rushed to grab it. How can everyone have a share like today?

Is it true that Wang Anzhi wanted to improve the food in the prison out of kindness, or is there something tricky hidden in the fish soup?Seeing that except for Xiao Tong who had his own special meal, the other prisoners drank the fish soup, maybe he really thought too much, but in the end Jiang Chi dispelled his worries and drank the bowl of fish soup.

For the next few days, fresh fish soup was delivered every day, and everyone had a share.Many prisoners came from poor backgrounds. He had never drank fish soup all day long, so they all shouted, "It's more comfortable to be in prison than to be outside. This fish soup is so delicious!"

After seven or eight days without incident, Jiang Chi felt that things were a little weird.According to Jiang Chi's speculation, Wang Anzhi was doing things for someone else, and he was obviously targeting him, so it shouldn't have happened after so long.

Could it be that he was wrong about everything, that Wang Anzhi really didn't know his identity in the yamen that day, so he treated him as an ordinary murderer and planned to keep him locked up and wait for Qiuhou to be executed?

Just when Jiang Chi began to suspect that his previous speculation was wrong, there was a sudden howling in the prison.

Many people who were standing or sitting fell to the ground, showing a semi-conscious state.

"He's got a fever!" someone shouted, trying the temperature on his companion's forehead.

"He is too!" "There are more here!"

"Ahhh!" Someone screamed in horror, Jiang Chi heard the sound and saw an unconscious person lying next to him, blood was oozing from that person.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more and more people had symptoms of fever, coughing, coughing up blood, and bleeding from the skin, accounting for almost half of the prison population.

"It's over! It's over! The Mouse Fairy Empress is here to collect debts again!" At this moment, the old man who was lifted up from the ground by Jiang Chi showed a very frightened expression when he saw the scene in front of him. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times With a bang, he shouted like crazy: "The Mouse Fairy, spare your life! The Mouse Fairy, have mercy!"

"Mother Rat Fairy, please forgive me!" All those who could move knelt down and kowtowed like the old man, chanting "Madam please forgive me", and from time to time some people kowtowed and fainted.Even Xiao Tong put down the book in his hand, got out of bed and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Jiang Chi didn't quite understand the relationship between the "Mouse Fairy Empress" in those populations and those people's coma, coughing up blood and other symptoms, so he walked up to the old man and wanted to ask.

"Old man, the mouse fairy you are talking about... oh cough cough! Puff—" Before he could finish his sentence, he was filled with blood, coughed for a while, and coughed out a mouthful of blood without warning "Wow——".

The author has something to say: PS: The dead face~ People don’t tell everyone to leave a message and they all dive, right? In the next chapter, whether Chen Ling will confess or not depends on how cute you are, so let’s get bored~
