088 Prison
Buying and selling houses in ancient Qise is much simpler than on modern earth. After writing the sales contract, both parties sign and pledge it, and then the house deed and the gold coins are completed. Of course, it is best to submit the sales contract to the government for sealing, which is an extra layer of protection, but in extraordinary times, it is also possible.
I can't worry about so much, just build it when I have time, and don't pay extra for the delay fee.
As the old man said, the house is very big, with five front and back doors plus a large garden. But it is indeed as Aunt Xue said, most of it is deserted. Except for the renovated second floor of the facade and the first and second floors, the rest can be inhabited.
All in dilapidated condition.
The first one is the best, given to Mrs. Guihai, and Guihai Xinghe will naturally live with her. The second one is occupied by Mrs. Chang Shi and Chang Shi Xiaoxiao and Pingtong. Chang Shi Weiqi lived more than ten days ago
I went to a branch in another country for a routine inspection. It's still early to return, but if I learn about the changes in Guihai's family, I will come back as soon as possible. The remaining thirty or so male and female servants live in the left and right wing rooms of the two entrances according to men's left and women's right.
After allocating a room, I realized that I didn’t have a place to live. I had no choice but to pick out a few houses in the third quarter, which was barely habitable, cleaned them briefly, and listened to the only remaining servants of Yuntai with Xiaoliu.
The chef and a little girl lived in together.
After everything was settled, Lingzhou happened to come over and told us that Guihai Yueming had indeed been arrested and taken to the Punishment Department, but since he entered the Punishment Department, there had been no news. No one dared to help no matter what benefits he was promised.
Quan said that strict orders had been issued from above and he did not dare to show favoritism, otherwise the consequences would be unbearable. Ling Zhou had no choice but to go to the Prince's Mansion for help, thinking that the Prince was always friendly to his brothers Guihai and would help, but he did not expect that the Prince and Concubine Yu went on a trip yesterday.
The date of return has not yet been determined, so obviously there is no hope.
Mrs. Guihai was awake at first, but she fainted again when she heard these words.
There was a faint movement in my heart, and I felt strange, "Did you leave yesterday? How could it be such a coincidence?"
"It is indeed a coincidence." Lingzhou also nodded, looked up at me with enlightenment, and said: "Grandma, what do you mean..."
I shook my head, "It's hard to say now. There are many coincidences in the world." I bit my lower lip and thought, "But whether it's a coincidence or not, the prince can't count on it. Think about it again, what else can my uncle do?
A friend who can help."
Ling Zhou waved his hand, "Master has never liked to participate in political affairs and never made friends with powerful people. If something had not happened to the uncle, he and the prince would not have gotten so close. He also maintains that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Apart from business contacts, there is no such thing.
What a special friend."
Human relationships are cold and warm, and the world is cold and cold. You can't count on others.
The incident happened suddenly, and I had never experienced anything like this before. I had no experience to speak of, and I had nothing to think about at the moment, so I decided to visit the prison first and planned to meet Guihai Yueming. He was so smart that he might have a way to escape.
When I followed Lingzhou to the Ministry of Punishment, I realized that the Earth Novels and Movies were misleading. The prison of the Ministry of Punishment was located in the courtyard of the Ministry of Punishment. It was impossible to just give the guard some money and go in for a visit. After wandering around for a long time, I couldn't even enter the main gate of the Punishment Ministry, let alone the prison.
.
In the midst of anxiety, a group of people stopped in front of us. The person who was surrounded by us was Qi Che Yu, who was on a narrow road. He was riding on a tall horse and looked at me from top to bottom, his eyes filled with resentment and disgust.
The dark voice said sarcastically: "Oh, isn't this Mrs. Guihai? Why is she here alone, while General Guihai, who has always been deeply in love with you and your husband, is there?"
I swallowed the question "Aren't you alone?" One moment after another, the situation was not as good as others, so I calmed down and said calmly: "Why ask knowingly? I'm here to visit my brother-in-law, but you
What are you doing here?”
Qi Che Yu held up a shiny rectangular sign and said, "What a coincidence. I am also here to visit him. For convenience, I asked my brother-in-law for a badge." His brother-in-law is the second prince, so in his hand
His waist card is the waist card of the Second Prince's Mansion, so he can naturally pass through the Ministry of Punishment without any hindrance.
My eyes lit up and I blurted out: "Can you take me with you?" As soon as I said this, I cursed myself for being stupid. How could he help me?
As expected, Qi Che Yu sneered and said, "Your husband abducted my fiancée, why should I help you?"
I was mentally prepared. I nodded calmly and said, "If it doesn't work, forget it."
Perhaps I gave up too quickly, but Qi Che Yu snorted coldly and said: "Giving up so easily, you obviously don't really want to visit Guihai Yueming."
I raised my head and glared at him, "What does it mean to be sincere? Master, please make it clear that I will definitely do whatever I can."
He rolled his eyes and said with a sinister smile: "What if...kneel down and beg me, cry and kowtow until your head is broken and bleeding..."
I knew in my heart that he had always been sinister, so I said cautiously: "If I do this, will you take me to see my uncle?"
He raised his eyebrows, "No, it depends on my mood."
I turned around and left, sneering: "I never do anything with unclear results. You can kowtow to me if you want, but you must promise to take me to see my uncle, otherwise there is no chance."
Qi Che Yu screamed in anger, "You woman, at this time, you still dare to bargain with me."
I continued walking forward without looking back, "It's at times like this that you have to be more cautious, lest you be taken advantage of by villains."
"Villain? Who do you call a villain?" Qi Che Yu screamed angrily, and suddenly laughed strangely, "Since you won't shed tears without seeing the coffin, I will take you to see Guihai Yueming.
Will you beg me or not?"
I really didn’t expect that Qi Che Yu would really take me to see Guihai Yueming. I followed him through the gate of the Criminal Department as if in a dream, until I came to the Criminal Prison in the back garden and walked in the dark and damp prison passage.
It has some sense of reality.
A short, fat man who looked like a jailer nodded and walked in front to guide us. It was not until we walked through the long passage and reached the last cell that he respectfully said to Qi Che Yu: "Guihai Yueming will be locked up."
It’s here.”
I couldn't believe that the person inside who was leaning against the wall, with disheveled hair and bloodstains all over his body, was Guihai Yueming, who looked like a beautiful orchid tree. He rushed to the fence two steps ahead and shouted: "Uncle, uncle, Yue Ming."
Is it really you Ming?"
The man suddenly raised his head when he heard the sound. Although there were a few blood stains on his face, his face was still bright and clean, his eyebrows were like spring mountains, and his eyes were full of autumn water. Isn't it Guihai·Yue Ming and that one?
"Sister-in-law? You've already left, why are you here?" He was stunned, stood up staggeringly, rushed forward, and looked at me across the fence.
It was too dark in the prison, and when I got closer, I could clearly see that his body was covered with whip marks. His moon-white tunic was almost torn from the whips, and streaks of dirty blood stuck to his body.
In disbelief, I reached out to touch the blood stains on his face and choked out: "Didn't I just arrest you last night? How long has it been, how come you were beaten like this? Besides, why are you guilty, and why should you be tortured?"
"What's the point of being here? It's just that I protected my elder brother and helped him escape." Instead, he smiled and comforted me: "I'm fine, it's just some superficial injuries. Even if I'm convicted, it won't lead to death."
..." He grabbed my hand that was reaching towards his face and quickly inserted a slightly cool round object, "Go back quickly, I'm fine, don't worry about me." He hesitated, lowered his eyes and whispered: "But if
Okay, please help me take care of my mother..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly walked away from me. I looked up in a daze and saw that he was being held up by two strong guards around Qi Che Yu. While we were talking, Qi Che Yu had already ordered
The jailer opened the cell door and walked into the cell.
"Pa..." Qi Che Yu waved his hand and brought down the whip hard. The barbs on the whip immediately brought down a piece of Guihai Yueming's flesh.
"Ah, what are you doing?" I didn't expect that he would dare to hit Guihai Yueming. I was stunned for a moment before I realized what I was doing and yelled angrily: "You are not a member of the government, why should you hit him?"
"Who says I'm not a member of the government? When I was sixteen, I was awarded the title of fifth-level scholar and historian." Qi Che Yu said with a gritted teeth, "Besides, I really don't have any fame, and I can beat him. Come in."
We need to have this kind of awareness here..." Another whip came with the backhand, landing heavily on the scar of the previous whip, and the tender meat that had been torn off the skin was immediately lifted up again.
"Well..." Even though he was a tough person like Guihai Yueming, he grunted in pain and broke into a cold sweat.
"Stop! Stop, stop, you lunatic, what do you want..." I wanted to rush into the cell, but was blocked by Qi Che Yu's guards, so I had to cry through the fence.
"Hey, are you crying? Where did the strength just now go?" Qi Che Yu laughed wildly, waved his arms and whipped twice in succession, and hit the whip mark again. The flesh and blood flew out, and the white bones were faintly exposed.
