In the afternoon, the earth became even hotter after being scorched by the sun. The government servants who escorted them were hiding from the sun under the eaves, but they threw Yuan and Yan Poxi into the sun. Soon they were sweating profusely and their mouths were dry. , especially Yan Poxi, whose clothes were already very thin, and after being soaked with sweat, her entire body was on display, making the onlookers salivate.

"Sanlang... I'm so thirsty!" Yan Poxi no longer cared about running out, moved her body to Zhang Wenyuan, and begged with a blushing face, "Quickly think of a way to get some water to drink, my throat is sore. It’s going to smoke.”

Zhang Wenyuan had severe symptoms of dehydration, and he was not much better than her. Although he knew that these government officials were ripping off people again, he had no other choice but to shout with all his strength, "Chen Dalang, Erlang!"

Chen Fu and Chen Gui were taking a nap. When they heard his shouting, they slowly opened their eyes and glanced at him, and snorted impatiently, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Wenyuan smiled and said, "The sun here is too poisonous and I really can't stand it. Please put us under the eaves to avoid the sun. We are really thirsty and can't stand it anymore!"

Chen Gui scolded him first, "If you want to take a break, how can there be such a good thing?"

Zeng Jiming and Wang Ping also echoed, "You are being tortured, do you think you are going on a trip?"

Being scolded by the four people in turn, Zhang Wenyuan was not angry, but smiled more flatteringly, "Oh, brothers, everything is easy to discuss! They say that you have to rely on the mountains and the water to live, so there is no need for you to have trouble with money, right?"

Seeing him being so polite, the four of them laughed heartily.

After several haggling, the two parties finally settled the deal for a hundred dollars.

After signing the signature and drawing the deposit, Zhang Wenyuan and Yan Poxi finally no longer had to dry bacon, but they had to bear the bill of fifty thousand dollars for drinking water. Yan Poxi was moved and worried when she saw that he was willing to be slaughtered for her. She took a moment and asked in a low voice, "Sanlang, where did you get so much money?"

Zhang Wenyuan said helplessly, "Wherever I have money, it's all debts I owe!"

Hearing that he was writing a bad check, Yan Poxi became even more worried, "How can you pay back so much debt?"

Zhang Wenyuan glanced at her and said in his heart that if you can't pay back the debt, he will sell you to pay off the debt.

"Even a sheep is driven away, and a flock of sheep is chased away. If you have many debts, you don't have to worry about it. What are you afraid of?"

Yan Poxi saw that he had smashed the jar and said worriedly, "But you have to pay it back!"

Zhang Wenyuan said, "The most important thing now is to save your life, and we will slowly figure out other solutions later!"

Yan Poxi hummed and wanted to say a few words. Seeing that he suddenly stood up and turned his back to her, she asked, "What are you doing?"

"pee!"

Yan Po Xixin said that this is the street, are you too bold?

Zhang Wenyuan didn't care so much at all. He drank too much water just now, and now he really couldn't hold it in for a second. Seeing him shushing happily, Yan Poxi felt the urge to urinate, "Sanlang, I also want to be convenient!"

Zhang Wenyuan said angrily, "You can pee if you want, no one will care about you!"

"You..." Yan Poxi was so angry that she couldn't speak, "Why is it so convenient here?"

Zhang Wenyuan had no choice but to discuss it with Zeng Jiming, but he ended up being ripped off for another ten dollars.

In the evening, after the sun went down, the first day of parade finally came to an end.

Zhang Wenyuan and Yan Poxi were taken to the county jail. When he saw Yan Poxi and himself in the same prison, he remembered that there was no special women's prison in the Song Dynasty. Because women in ancient times obeyed their fathers at home, their husbands when they got married, and their children after their husbands died. They never went out much in their lives. There were relatively few opportunities to break the law and commit crimes. Even if they committed crimes, they would be dealt with within the family, and they would rarely alert the government. Even if they did, they would be dealt with within the family. Women from large families who confiscated their homes and exterminated their families were sent directly to the Jiaofangsi or other places for resettlement, and did not go to jail at all.

Therefore, there has been no need to build women's prisons in the past dynasties. If there are extremely rare circumstances, female prisoners must be imprisoned. They often share the same prison with male prisoners, but are held separately, and old guards are assigned to guard them. , but even so, once a woman is in prison, it is impossible to keep her chastity, and without her chastity, the woman's life will come to an end.

Prison is like hell for women, so many women would rather commit suicide than go to prison. Later, women were not allowed to enter the yamen, not to mention prison. Once the government used force, they would commit suicide immediately.

Because women would rather die than go to prison, women's prisons have become dispensable, but female prisoners have always existed. In order to save trouble, the rulers simply put men and women in the same prison. This formed a vicious circle. Female prisoners His fate is even more tragic.

However, things changed dramatically in the Song Huizong era. Although Emperor Daojun was extravagant, lustful, and a complete fool, he was not a cruel king. On the contrary, he was very friendly to the people. Not only did he often give Kaifeng He distributed money to citizens, and also established the world's earliest systematic social welfare institutions - in addition to the Salesian Bureau of Children's Welfare Homes, he also established a government-run nursing home, a residential care home, and a government-run free medical institution Anji. Fanghe's government-run cemetery, Luzeyuan, specializes in solving the problems in the second half of life for the widowed, widowed and lonely, and has realized a comprehensive social service and security system "from the cradle to the grave". Not only that, he also often granted amnesty to the world and gave those who made mistakes a chance to start a new life. Therefore, under his wise and powerful leadership, there is not a single female prisoner in the prison of Yuncheng County.

There are no more women visiting the prison in Yuncheng County. This is naturally a good thing for female prisoners, but not necessarily for male prisoners. As the saying goes, "After three years in the army, a sow is exposed to Diao Chan", and the prison is even worse. And no less, because a man will go crazy without a woman to adjust his yin and yang for a long time.

Emperor Daojun's benevolent government not only drove the male prisoners crazy, but also caused Yan Po to fall into the ice cellar. As the first female prisoner in Yuncheng County in many years, her appearance made the entire prison boil. Although her mouth is now crooked, her face is swollen, her hair is in a mess, and there are several collars around her neck, she is still a woman, a young woman, and her hardware conditions are quite good. How could they let it go?

The prisoners who had originally lost hope in life were like hungry wolves seeing a little fat sheep when they saw her. Their eyes all glowed green and they salivated. Whistles and obscene words kept coming one after another:

"Hey, whose girl is this? Why did she come here?"

"Yeah, a girl has come in, come to the uncle quickly!"

"Little girl, your man is here, come here quickly!"

"Come on, come on, let me feel good!"

"Come to me first. I have taken off my pants. Look at how big my dick is!"

The obscene words came overwhelmingly. Not only Zhang Wenyuan and Yan Poxi were stunned, but even the jaws of the government officials who escorted them in were shocked. Isn't she just a female prisoner? How could she be so excited?

Seeing the risk of the camp roaring, the Chen brothers, Zeng Jiming, and Wang Ping immediately turned pale. They rushed in with the water and fire sticks in their hands, and beat them with their outstretched hands until they were howling like ghosts. , The head-hugging rats scurry around to slightly suppress their hormones that were about to spurt out.

Although the situation was temporarily suppressed, hidden dangers still existed. Although these people were afraid of the Yamen's sticks, their eyes were still unruly, especially those who were bold and did not take the Yamen's authority into consideration at all, and only waited for them to leave. We must continue to use force and never give up until we achieve our goals.

Even though Yan Poxi was well-informed, her face turned pale with fear when she saw this scene. She hid behind Zhang Wenyuan, grabbed his lapel, and said in a trembling voice, "San... Sanlang... I... I'm so scared!"

Zhang Wenyuan felt her fear and despair, so he had to discuss with the Chen brothers again, "Dalang, Erlang, can you arrange a separate room for us?"

Chen Fu glanced at him and decisively refused, "No, the prison has regulations and men and women cannot share the same cell."

Zhang Wenyuan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, "What about us living in two rooms?"

Chen Fu's eyes immediately lit up, "Yes, as long as you are willing to pay!"

Zhang Wenyuan asked, "How much money will it cost?"

"Five hundred guan per room!" Chen Fu pointed out two fingers, "Each of you has a cell, which is a thousand guan!"

"So expensive?"

Chen Fu snorted coldly, "Isn't Zhang Sanlang spending money like water? Do you still care about this little money?"

Zhang Wenyuan smiled apologetically and said, "These are all debts, and they have to be paid back in the future! Can it be cheaper?"

"No!" Chen Fu flatly rejected him, "You saw what happened just now. If you want to survive, buy it with money."

Zhang Wenyuan thought for a while and finally agreed, "Can you arrange two rooms near the exit?"

"It's okay!" Chen Fu thought for a while, pointed to the two cells near the exit, and said, "Since you are so affectionate and righteous, then live here. You live with them, and the woman will live next to you. It’s good to have someone to take care of you!”

To be honest, he was also a little worried that something would happen. These killers had not seen a woman for a long time. If he threw Yan Poxi inside, he might not be sure that these suffocated brawlers would come up with weird tricks. If they broke out of the camp, If Xiao Lai comes, then he won’t be able to eat and walk away. Now that Zhang Wenyuan is willing to stand up and share his worries, and there is still money to get, why would he not do it?

Zhang Wenyuan saw several people already living in the second cell near the exit. He hesitated and said, "But there are already people inside?"

Chen Fu gave him a cold look, "Then I'll charge you two hundred dollars less!"

Zhang Wenyuan thought for a while, "Okay then!"

These are the two best rooms in the entire prison. Although I didn't get a single room to live in, Yan Poxi didn't have to go deep into the prison, so the risk was greatly reduced.

I'm a low-key person, and I'm new here, so I can only do this.
