The next day.
In the small courtyard of the prison, Hu Hai walked alone.
The weather has begun to turn cooler, and a thin layer of mist has hung in the sky.
After Hu Hai walked for a while, his thoughts were still unclear, and he wondered: "Why do I, the majestic Master Qin, want to look at Ji Heng's face?"
"He is only a death row prisoner, how can he bargain with me?"
"What's the point?"
"If I hadn't been thrown into prison in anger, he would not have the right to see me because of his noble status."
"The main reason why I invited him to eat with me was because it was boring in prison, and I saw how talented he was, so I asked him to come over. Why is it that now, it seems like I am begging him?"
"If Zhao Gao were here, how could I let you go?"
"If you don't act like a good boy even if you get an advantage, do you really think that I, Hu Hai, are easy to bully?"
Hu Hai snorted coldly.
No matter in terms of status or other aspects, he is more noble. How could he be blackmailed by Ji Heng?
Hu Hai frowned and stared at the high wall, still unable to figure it out.
a long time.
Hu Hai sighed dejectedly.
"well."
"That's all."
"The dying man is the invincible man."
"Why should I bother with a dying man?"
"Although his words last time were alarmist, they were not unreasonable."
"Right now, Zhao Gao is imprisoned in Tingwei Mansion Prison. The situation involved in the case seems to be very serious. It is still up to Meng Yi to investigate and deal with it. I want Zhao Gao to give me some advice for the short term, but I'm afraid I can't do it. So I'll let Ji Heng do it again. Be proud for a few days."
"Just kill time."
"I don't know if my father's anger has dissipated."
"I've been in jail for almost a week. It's really boring to be in jail."
"I really don't know when I can get out."
Hu Hai stood there for a long time and finally turned around and went back.
On the way back, he thought of what Ji Heng had said these few times, and gradually came back to his senses. He frowned and said, "That's not right. What Ji Heng said these few times only talked about the world situation and how his father paved the way for his brother. But these have nothing to do with me.”
"I asked him to find a solution for me."
"I want to go out."
"I even want to save Zhao Gao."
This is the thought.
Hu Hai stopped, looked around, called the yawning jailer over, and said, "Where is Ji Heng? Take me there. I need to see him."
The jailer did not dare to neglect and walked quickly to lead the way.
In prison.
Now it’s time for the morning meal.
Ji Heng stretched out, walked to the cell door, stretched out his hand, and brought in the food from the cell door.
A piece of cake and a bowl of cold water.
He just sat at the cell door, leaning against the cell door, biting into small bites. The pancakes were very dry, and eating them made his throat a bit irritated.
Ji Heng didn't care.
In this age of low productivity, it is no longer easy to stutter.
How many people work hard for a year, just for a few mouthfuls of food.
At this time.
When Hu Hai arrived outside the prison, he frowned slightly when he saw the pancakes Ji Heng was eating, but he didn't say anything. He ordered, "Open the prison door. I'll go in and talk to Ji Heng."
The jailer nodded repeatedly.
He wasn't worried about an accident.
During this period, Ji Heng and Hu Hai met frequently. If something really happened, it would have happened long ago.
And they'll be waiting.
Hu Hai stepped into the prison. Ji Heng's cell was filled with a faint smell of decay, which was not pleasant.
Ji Heng was naturally aware of Hu Hai's arrival.
But he didn't pay any attention to it.
Hu Hai looked at it for a few times, with a touch of sarcasm on his lips, and said proudly: "Ji Heng, now you know what I did to you? As a death row prisoner, if I hadn't been magnanimous, how could you have eaten mutton in prison? Got some good wine?”
"With your lowly status, you still bargain with me?"
"Do you really think you are qualified?"
Ji Heng bit into pieces the cake and swallowed it with cold water. Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep leaning against the cell door.
Hu Hai's face darkened.
He said displeasedly: "Ji Heng, don't go too far."
"You need to figure out your identity. You are now a death row prisoner."
"He will be tricked and killed in less than ten days!"
"I'll treat you to delicious food and drinks in front of you. You must at least have a nice attitude toward me."
Ji Heng opened one eye, glanced at Hu Hai sideways, and sighed: "Tell me, what do you want?"
Hu Hai's expression froze.
He hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Ji Heng was about to close his eyes again, he took a deep breath, suppressed his displeasure, and said coldly: "I want you to treat me better. No matter what I say, I have never treated you badly. What you said last time was a little harsh, but you didn’t say everything yourself.”
"Tell me the important point," Ji Heng said.
Hu Hai glanced at the jailer beside him and winked. The jailer immediately understood and walked quickly out for a few steps.
At this time.
Hu Hai said in a deep voice:
"Ji Heng, I want to discuss something with you."
"Can you say something useful? What you are saying now is of no use to me. I have been in jail for a week. You have to find a way to help me get out."
"You can't just eat and drink without helping me!"
After listening, Ji Heng closed his eyes completely and said calmly: "I decide what to say. This is a rule set long ago."
"I'm just a prisoner."
"I don't have the ability to get you out."
"in addition."
"You give me a drink and I'll tell you a story."
"Even if I tell you, can you really understand it?"
"The current situation in Da Qin is not that simple. Undercurrents are surging inside and outside the court. It is good for those who are involved to protect themselves wisely. In this coming chaos, sometimes, doing more may not be the right thing, or even doing less may not be the right thing to do. Wrong, not doing good is the right thing to do.”
"What I'm telling you is the general trend."
"But all living beings are meant to survive under the general trend of the world."
"If I showed you a 'clear path', I would really be harming you."
"Because you don't have that ability!"
Hu Hai frowned, slightly unhappy.
He said angrily: "Then according to what you said, I won't do anything?"
Ji Heng said: "You can prepare more wine."
Hear the words.
Hu Hai's head is covered with black lines.
He knew that Ji Heng was fooling him.
"Jiujiujiu, how come you know about wine in just one day?"
"I'm in jail now. If you don't get me out, how can I get you alcohol?"
"I never gave you less wine before!"
Ji Heng said:
"This is your business."
"I'm running a small business, just a story and a drink."
"You give me the wine, and I'll speak."
"No wine..."
"Then there's no need to discuss anything."
"And if you want me to give a lecture again."
"Two bottles of wine are required."
"Two pots?" Hu Hai's voice suddenly rose, his eyes widened, and he said, "Why don't you go and grab it."
Ji Heng looked very calm and said: "Two pots are already fair. You scolded me last time. If I hadn't ignored the past, three pots would not be enough."
"in addition."
"If I want to tell you just one person, a bottle of wine is indeed enough."
"But now it's much more than just one person."
"It's far more than one person. What does this mean?" Hu Haihu asked.
Ji Heng looked at the wall, smiled meaningfully, and said softly: "Because walls have ears."
