So from his point of view, what Magistrate Ke said was not a good day.
Therefore, the prison boss immediately nodded without any pressure and admitted that his life was indeed difficult.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be prompted yet, Ke Shixing felt that this man was indeed a fool. No wonder he could only be the prison chief in the prison.
However, although Ke Shixing felt in his heart that this person was a fool, he still had to act friendly when facing such a fool. After all, it was comparable to deceiving a normal person when he had nothing and was a prisoner. It's much harder to fool a fool. Therefore, he immediately pointed it out and said, "Do you want to change your current situation, get promoted, and get rid of the official position of your father's generation?"
Hearing Ke Shixing's words, the cell leader's eyes suddenly lit up.
It turned out that Magistrate Ke wanted to arrange a promised official position for him.
He immediately nodded to Magistrate Ke and said, "Of course I want to, but I don't know how to read, so I'm afraid I won't be an official. It would be better if you could transfer me from prison to collect taxes. I feel like I'm very good." Good for that.”
Magistrate Ke did not expect that this man was not only stupid but also greedy.
The position of tax collector is so easy to transfer. This kind of fat job is usually taken over by local wealthy families.
And if these big families swallowed such a huge piece of fat, how could they spit it out so easily?
Even I didn't dare to touch them completely, but I didn't expect that the prison boss would stare at the fattest piece of meat as soon as he opened his mouth.
However, what Ke Shixing doesn't know is that at the county level, the prison head is already a good job. After all, whether the prisoners in this prison are rich or poor, if they want to live a better life in the prison, then The only way to do this is to give money to these prison bosses, and these people have evil hearts and dirty hands.
They don’t want to shed their skin, so they can only keep giving them money.
And after the money is given to them, they will naturally have a lot of gray income.
It's just that this job is not decent for other official positions, but it is very lucrative.
Therefore, if Ke Shixing wanted to promise him a high official position, he could only get decent and fat jobs.
Of course, Ke Shixing was just making a cake for this person, so regardless of whether the person believed in his cake or not, he had no intention of fulfilling his promise.
Anyway, if he continues to become the prefect, then the cell leader will dare to cause trouble. He would make it impossible for him to even afford his current job.
If he fails to succeed, then the promise he made to the prisoner will naturally be nothing more than an empty shell.
Thinking of this aspect, Ke Shixing immediately said without hesitation, "As long as you can help me pass the news to my wife, after I am released from prison, let alone that errand, even if the county magistrate asks you to do it, there will be no problem." .”
Hearing Ke Shixing's words, the cell leader immediately smiled and said, "If I can be praised by your Excellency, I will naturally be very grateful. I just don't know what message your Excellency wants me to send.?"
Hearing this, Ke Shixing glanced at the prison chief, and then whispered, "Go get some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and I'll write a letter to my wife."
Hearing Ke Shixing's words, the cell leader naturally only responded with "yes". However, while he said yes, his feet did not move. Ke Shixing couldn't help but asked displeasedly, "What are you still standing here for?"
The prison boss looked at the confident Ke Shixing awkwardly, and then made a gesture asking for money, "Sir, everything we need in the prison needs this flower, and I also..."
Hearing that the prison boss dared to ask him for money, Ke Shixing felt extremely angry. When had he ever been asked for money so straightforwardly?
However, at this time, it can only be regarded as a tiger being bullied by a dog. Therefore, although Ke Shixing was very dissatisfied, he could only say angrily, "When I go back, will I be short of your money?"
After hearing this, the cell leader naturally had no choice but to say anything. After all, Zhifu Ke still didn’t know if he had the ability to return to heaven. Therefore, at this moment, he could only obey Zhifu Ke’s words and could only buy it with his own money for the time being. Pens, inks, paper and inkstones. When the prison guard went to buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones, he naturally picked the cheapest ones. Ke Shixing was not used to using them at the time. He was about to accuse the prison guard of what he usually used. How could he give them to himself? With this kind of thing, almost as soon as he put down a pen, the ink would spread out, and the single stroke of his hand that he was once most proud of would be immediately infected by the ink.
However, when he remembered his current status, he could only hold back his displeasure, and then wrote a letter of help to his wife on it one stroke at a time.
As for the reason why he wrote this letter to his wife instead of someone else, it was naturally because his wife’s natal family was originally a prostitute in Beijing. In addition, there was a relationship between husband and wife, and their interests were deeply bound. He did not believe his own. His wife will not take her seriously and will not come to save her.
Therefore, out of this confidence, he only wrote a few dozen words and then handed the letter to the prison boss.
When the prison boss got the letter, he naturally sent it to Ke's house.
At this time, Mrs. Ke and her children had just returned home. Unexpectedly, at this moment, King Jin and Princess Jin also came to visit her.
Mrs. Ke didn't understand their purpose at first. It wasn't until the gatekeeper outside the house told her that a prison boss said it was a letter from the master and asked him to deliver it to Mrs. Ke.
Mrs. Ke just had some ideas in mind.
So she just said to the doorman, "There is no need for him to come in. Just send him some money. Bring in the letter."
After hearing Mrs. Ke's words, Menzi naturally left.
It didn't take long for the letter to come in.
Mrs. Ke only looked at the few dozen words, and then remembered that he abandoned her first in Xianghua Tower, and heard that he escaped with the goblins on the thirteenth floor, so she thought She felt a suffocation in her heart that could not be dissipated, so she immediately started to read the letter directly in front of Prince Jin and Princess Jin.
"Madam, is this letter written by your husband? Can I read it?" Zhao Yanzhen took the initiative to suggest.
Mrs. Nake was furious, so even though she knew Zhao Yanzhen was an imperial envoy, she still handed the letter to Zhao Yanzhen.
After Zhao Yanzhen read the letter, he then said, "Madam, your husband seems to want to ask you to rescue him. Will Madam be willing to help him?"
Mrs. Ke didn't reply immediately, so Zhao Yanzhen continued, "Mrs. Ke, if you want to fish him out, I will never allow it. After all, although I was the one to investigate this matter this time, I also accepted the request." That’s what it means.”
"But if Madam is willing to draw a clear line with Magistrate Ke, then I don't have to investigate Madam and Madam's natal family. Otherwise, if I do, it will be like setting fire to myself. Madam needs to think about it carefully now."
After hearing what Zhao Yanzhen said, Mrs. Ke was obviously a little confused, after all, if Magistrate Ke was gone. My life will not be easy. When I return to my parents' home, they may not be happy with me and my children.
But Magistrate Ke is now like this, and it is clearly a foregone conclusion now. Even if he goes back to ask for help from his brother, I am afraid that his brother may not be willing to help him.
But fortunately, she has some private property of her own. If she could put her private property in her brother's name and make a living, life wouldn't be too difficult.
Thinking of this, she only whispered, "If I get the letter of divorce earlier than before the trial, can my assets be divided?"
Zhao Yanzhen whispered, "Madam's dowry can be taken away in full, but other assets may be implicated."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Na Ke immediately took the initiative and said, "As long as you can take away my original dowry, other things don't matter."
Mrs. Ke was originally married, and since she was the legitimate daughter of the Cheng family, her parents did not have any more children, so her dowry was also very generous.
Although Ke Shixing married into a wealthy family and was usually very carefree, he never got any benefits from Mrs. Ke. Mrs. Ke only kept almost all her dowry assets firmly in her own hands. .
Therefore, her dowry has not been reduced now, but the luxurious and leisurely life before is no longer possible.
After thinking about this and getting a promise from Zhao Yanzhen, she finally decided to go to Ke Shixing in person to discuss the matter of reconciliation.
And she took the initiative to talk to Ke Shixing about this issue. One of the reasons is that in this era, it is considered a crime for a woman to sue her husband. Therefore, no matter how great the injustice is, no matter how correct the woman is, the woman will always be thrown into prison afterwards. middle.
Therefore, the best thing for now is to have a showdown with Ke Shixing and finally get a peaceful result.
Thinking of this, although Mrs. Ke felt a little resentful of Ke Shixing's behavior, she calmed down when she thought that she was also the same.
Anyway, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes.
However, in order to obtain more consent from Ke Shixing, Mrs. Ke only brought her son with her this time.
Mrs. Ke's son looks to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, but children from this kind of family are inherently precocious and ruthless.
After listening to Mrs. Ke's explanation of his father's current situation, he just asked his mother, "Mom, what are your plans?"
Mrs. Ke naturally told this young man who was only thirteen or fourteen years old all her thoughts.
After hearing Mrs. Ke's words, the young man just said softly, "Mom, I'm afraid Daddy won't agree with what you said. Daddy will definitely let you find your uncle, so it's better to leave it to me then." Come forward and talk to your father. Once the negotiation is settled, you will make peace with your father, and then how about we go find your uncle?"
Mrs. Ke couldn't believe it when she heard that the young man accepted this fact so happily.
"Yiming, why are you so calm? He is your father?" Mrs. Ke only said one sentence to her son at this time.
However, Ke Yiming said, "So what if he is my father? He has never taken the initiative to care about me anyway, and he is not good to you. Now that God wants to accept him, let God accept him." .”
