In Yingtian Mansion's prison, because there was no sunlight and many people died, cockroaches and mice ran around everywhere, and even the food was rotten.
No matter how hungry Gu Chen was, he would definitely not be able to eat right now.
He suddenly felt that in the TV series, the prisoners were treated politely.
In ancient times, productivity was low and people could not afford white rice.
Where did the bad rice come from for you to eat?
It's all rice, and it's sour. The food is sour. I don't know what kind of soup is poured on the rice. It looks like vomit.
Gu Chen was a bit squeamish and would not eat these things even to death.
"Master Gu."
Zheng Shiyuan lived in the same cell as him and couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw this.
"It's all my fault. I'm dragging you down by meddling in other people's business."
If he hadn't been meddling that day, he would have brought some documents for others.
Now, I'm afraid I don't have to stay in jail anymore.
He also implicated his colleagues and sent them to prison to accompany him.
Gu Chen was not angry at all, and even comforted him softly: "It's okay. It's not your fault, it's all those bastards from Qian Yuan."
"I don't know who is so smart, but he came up with this method of making an empty seal. He is fine, but he has hurt us all."
Zheng Shiyuan was just helping with paperwork.
I just gave a few reminders, and the other two colleagues only listened to a few words. Who knew they would be involved?
And that Tu Festival!
Gu Chen didn't blame Yan King Zhu Di. He guessed that Zhu Di might just have a big mouth and said a few words to others, and then the words reached Tu Jie's ears.
damn thing!
You'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands in the future.
Gu Chen's teeth were itching with hatred. He knew that Lao Zhu was imprisoning several of their censors.
I just want to vent my anger, and I will be able to leave soon.
"I just hope Wanying won't worry too much. You can't be too sad during the confinement period."
Suddenly, he remembered something and looked at Lao Zheng beside him.
"Do you have a younger brother named Zheng Shili?"
Historically, it was Zheng Shili who wrote to the emperor to explain the empty seal case.
This caused Lao Zhu to become furious and demoted Zheng Shiyuan, who was released from prison, to hard labor.
"Yes, my little brother hasn't made the list yet, how did Mr. Gu know?"
Zheng Shiyuan was a little curious.
His little brother rarely goes out, how did Mr. Gu know?
"Don't worry about how I know." Gu Chen thought for a while and then asked in a low voice: "Do you have any money with you?"
Zheng Shiyuan shook his head. After getting married, his salary and salary were all taken care of by his wife. He didn't carry any money with him on weekdays, so naturally he didn't have any.
What's more, everyone has changed into prison uniforms, and even those with money are wearing official uniforms.
But the next second, he couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Gu...Master Gu..."
Gu Chen took off his shoes in front of him, and then took out a few Ming Dynasty banknotes from the soles of his shoes.
He only took one out and stuffed the others back into his shoes.
Gu Chen sniffed it with the tip of his nose and handed it to Zheng Shiyuan after making sure it had no smell.
Look, there is still a use for a man to hide his private money, isn’t it put to good use now?
Seeing Lao Zheng's confused look, he directly stuffed the money into Lao Zheng's arms.
"Take it, find a little jailer, and ask them to go back and report a message to your brother."
"Tell him not to be impatient and impulsive. You will be back in a few days."
The involvement between Zheng Shiyuan and Kong Yin is not big. As long as they admit their mistakes and don't cause trouble, everything will be fine soon.
If we don’t know whether to live or die, we still don’t know what will happen in the end.
Thinking of his younger brother's temper, Zheng Shiyuan quickly took the money and thanked him.
"Master Gu, thank you."
"When I receive my salary next month, I will definitely return the money to you."
Hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "How long did this happen?"
Why are you still thinking about your salary?
Although he won't die, Lao Zhu will definitely be punished with a few months' salary.
The iron roosters of Lao Zhu's family will let you go to jail with pay?
What are you thinking about?
I think Xia Yuanji worked for Zhu Xiaosi, lived in the imperial prison for several years, and still worked in the imperial prison, but he didn't see Zhu Xiaosi give him a penny?
If Lao Zhu doesn't ask you for food expenses, that would be considered generous.
Gu Chen was a very picky eater. He refused to eat anything for three days in a row and only drank water. His whole body became extremely weak.
Lao Zheng didn't eat at first, maybe because he was too hungry, but he ended up eating the rotten rice. He felt like eating but had to endure it.
"Master Gu, just eat some. You have to live anyway, right?"
Gu Chen held his stomach and stubbornly turned his head.
"No, if you don't have enough, just eat my share."
Even if he was starving to death, he wouldn't be able to eat a mouthful of food that looked like vomit.
"You're quite picky with your mouth."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
A familiar voice came, as well as the sound of Zheng Shiyuan kneeling down and saluting.
Gu Chen quickly turned his head and saw Zhu Biao, who was still holding a food box in his hand.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, still neither humble nor arrogant, nor did he plead or defend himself.
Because he knew that it was useless to say anything now, and he could only wait for Lao Zhu to calm down.
"Get up."
Zhu Biao opened the food box, which was full of white flour steamed buns.
"I can't bring you anything good, but it's better than eating rice. Just mix it with some water and eat it. Don't really starve to death."
Gu Chen's requirements are actually not high, as long as it's not swishing.
He was not polite and reached for two steamed buns, not forgetting to hand one to Lao Zheng.
Lao Zheng was a little scared and embarrassed to take it, so Gu Chen stuffed it directly into his arms.
Then he broke the steamed buns into pieces, put them into a broken porcelain bowl and soaked them in water to drink.
I've been hungry for three days and it's easy to get a stomachache after eating like this.
"Okay, it's quite particular."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he was still so particular at this time.
"I told the jailer that I will give you some clean food later, but you can't stop eating."
Dad heard that Gu Chen was going to starve himself to death, but he didn't say anything.
But knowing that she wanted to give him food, she didn't stop him.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Gu Chen was not polite, he gave Lao Zhu's family so many good things.
What's wrong with having something to eat?
Seeing Zhu Biao was about to leave, Gu Chen quickly called him.
"Your Highness, at my house..."
Although he also bribed the jailer and told him to tell his family not to worry about him.
But I don’t know if it will work or not.
"Don't worry." Zhu Biao turned around and said, "It's just that your wife is scared. She'll be fine if she goes back and coaxes her in a few days."
Can you not be scared?
Just after giving birth to the child, her husband went to jail.
Who wouldn't be afraid of this?
Gu Chen felt relieved knowing that his family was fine.
But looking at Zhu Biao's back, he couldn't help but have some doubts. Could it be that Biao'er came here specifically to bring him food?
As for the accounting method he mentioned, it is naturally the debit and credit accounting method.
Although he majored in history, who knows that the accounting department next door is full of beauties.
When I look at beautiful women, I feel influenced by them.
"Master Gu."
Zheng Shiyuan gnawed on the steamed bun and moved to Gu Chen's side and asked curiously.
"How come you, a public official, know about abacus beads?"
He was not very good at arithmetic, so he became a censor, and those who were good at arithmetic went to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"My family sells steamed stuffed buns." Gu Chen didn't panic and casually said, "When I was a kid, I could help my brother and sister-in-law collect money and learn how to read at the same time."
It would be nice to be transferred to the accounts department because of the debit and credit accounting method.
However, Tobe seems to be quite dangerous.
It's so easy to get involved in corruption, which is really annoying.
"Master Gu is so awesome."
Zheng Shiyuan has begun to admire Gu Chen a little now.
"Master Gu knows a lot, knows a lot, and is valued by His Majesty and His Highness. He will definitely become a pillar of the country and go down in history in the future."
