Volume 1: The Newlyweds Chapter 23: You are not the same type of person, you will not be sent to a prison
When Xue Junyou heard the word Jingyou, he was both surprised and unbelievable.
He met Jing You on his way back to Xuanyang City from Yunhuaze. The two of them had the same ambition to serve the country and join the army, so they hit it off and became friends.
It’s just that Jing You’s ancestors, three generations up, were also famous generals in the Entropy Kingdom. As a general, his status is much higher than that of a merchant like Xue Junyou. It is precisely because of this that Jing You plans to return to his hometown and rely on his ancestors’ reputation to become a general.
He joined the powerful men of Dongzhou as an aide.
In this way, the two of them said goodbye at the border of Nanzhou and went their separate ways.
But they never expected that both of them dreamed of becoming marquises and generals. They thought they would meet at the top of the mountain, but unexpectedly, they now became neighbors in the prison of the Empire's Ministry of Justice.
The other party was disheveled and dirty, and the light in the death cell was dark. Xue Junyou frowned tightly and leaned closer and closer before he recognized Jing You.
After recognizing him, Xue Junyou couldn't help but exclaimed subconsciously. It had been almost a year since he returned to the imperial capital, and he never expected that his brother, who should have been so high-spirited in Dongzhou, would now look like this.
"Brother Jing? It's really you." Xue Junyou still couldn't believe it.
Standing opposite the iron fence, Jing You laughed again and again, feeling excited and surprised, but mostly ashamed.
A ray of sunlight filtered in from the high small window in the cell, hitting the upper half of Jing You's face, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a straight bridge of nose, except that his face was a little dull.
Moreover, his originally burly and strong body had lost a lot of weight now, leaving him with only a height of over eight feet.
I guess he suffered a lot...
Thinking of this, Xue Junyou suddenly reacted and quickly turned around to bring Jingyou the bowl of chicken soup placed on the couch.
"Brother Jing, let's make up for it." Xue Junyou passed the delicate soup bowl through the iron fence.
Seeing that Jing You seemed to be conflicted, he said, "Don't worry, I have three meals a day, and I won't be able to keep my mouth shut."
After hearing these words, Jing You took the bowl. Fortunately, Yun Ni knew how to love him as the consort. This bowl of chicken soup not only contained soup, but also contained the white meat of the chicken legs.
Jing You probably hadn't seen meat for a long time. After drinking the soup in big gulps, he picked up the chicken legs and ate them.
Xue Junyou looked at him and frowned. He sat on the ground across the fence from him and asked, "We haven't seen each other for a year. Didn't you tell me that you were going to Dongzhou to get a job? How did you end up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?"
Jing You swallowed the chicken in his mouth, wiped his mouth with his dirty black sleeves, frowned slightly, and sighed heavily:
"The Marquis of Dongling has been going behind the imperial court's back for years, and has led to rogue bandits in Dongzhou. The imperial court has ordered that every bandit be rewarded with ten taels of silver on his head. The county where I took refuge was not Dongling. He led his troops to massacre villages and killed local villagers several times.
, pretending to claim the bounty.
I couldn't stand it! So I chopped off the heads of General Dog, Lieutenant Dog, and more than thirty of their cronies and sacrificed them to the village. This crime should punish the whole family, but I am the only one left in my family. They said that they would be renamed Lingchi. After the next autumn,
Executed and then imprisoned here."
After Xue Junyou heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and raise his thumb: "It's no wonder that it's Brother Jing, he has so much righteousness. He would rather be cut in pieces than to avenge this blood revenge for the people."
"Haha, it's a pity that we have brought shame to our ancestors." Jing You smiled ashamedly. After a while, as if he thought of something, he looked up at Xue Junyou again and asked the same question: "By the way, how is Brother Xue?"
Coming in? Still so... …The treatment is slightly different from ours."
How about we say that birds of a feather flock together and birds of a feather flock together.
Xue Junyou smiled stiffly: "There was a bully who was used to bullying men and women. He not only hurt my brother, but also kidnapped his sister to be his concubine. I couldn't be more angry! Yesterday, he didn't stop for a moment, punched and kicked him three times.
Beat that bully to death."
Jing You laughed loudly after hearing this. No wonder the two of them hit it off right away, as if their tempers were carved out of the same mold.
Just seeing Brother Xue's face, he felt a little confused, so he asked again: "Since you killed the bully and took revenge, why is Brother Xue so depressed?"
Xue Jun said worriedly: "My brother was seriously injured by him. The doctor said yesterday whether he could survive, but he didn't know whether he could survive last night... "
As soon as he finished speaking, Jing You suddenly fell silent.
At this moment, the group of death row prisoners who had reduced the stewed chicken to a pile of broken bones came around.
"Brother, do you know this man?" The man who spoke was a dwarf, about five feet tall, with sinister eyebrows. Everyone behind him also had his own characteristics, some looked fierce, and some had scars on their faces.
Jing You saw them and quickly introduced them: "This is the merchant boy I mentioned before. He was also the good brother who gave me money and food when my money was stolen that day. Even though he is a businessman, he is very powerful. Even ordinary people are close to him.
You can't get rid of your body. Especially when you dance with the Nirvana Free Spear technique, it is a unique skill in the world!"
Although Xue Junyou was thick-skinned, he was a little embarrassed by such a compliment and could only smile awkwardly at them.
He looked at Jingyou and asked, "What are these?"
Jing You turned around and introduced one by one: "Diao Wang, Lin San, Hua Lian'er, Guan Shan, Ye Wu..."
Jing You named fourteen names in total, but Xue Junyou was absent-minded today and only wrote down the first five. And it was because these five looked very unique.
Let’s talk about Dwarf Wang first. His real name is Wang Ai. Because he is short in stature, his name is reversed and the homophone is Dwarf Wang, so he is called this name.
This person is not very good-looking, but he is very capable. He was taken out by his master from the tomb of a certain big shot when he was a child, and then he learned the skill of drilling holes and shrinking bones. Not only that, he is also very accomplished in making gunpowder. Anyone who robs the tomb,
They are all respectfully called the King of Explosives.
Then there is Lin San, everyone calls him Third Master. Although he is ruthless, he is also upright. He was originally a county magistrate, but because the county magistrate asked him to help falsify the deceased's file, he refused to do it, so he was dismissed and returned to his hometown. This sentence
He could bear his resentment, but the magistrate wanted to silence him.
Lin San couldn't bear this tone. After killing the group of killers, he killed the county magistrate's entire family the next month.
As for Guan Shan and Ye Wu, one of them looks like a huge mountain outside Guan, and the other is good at flying over eaves and walls, and is also a famous night walker.
Finally, there is the Painted Face. As the name suggests, his face is no longer recognizable as a human being. It is covered with burns, but it is scary to look at it from a distance.
Hua Lian'er's real name is Hua Wuyi, and I heard that he has some relationship with Nan Yun Wang Hua Qi, but this person seems to have many secrets. He only said that the burns on his face were caused by the fire in Nan Yun Wang Mansion. Other than that,
Other than that, I don’t know anything else.
As for the fire in Prince Nanyun's Mansion, Xue Junyou had heard about it. It seemed that in that fire, Prince Nanyun's princess was burned alive, and the little princess who was only five years old at the time was also blinded by the fire.
