For the first time, Li Zhengyi felt that he would get tired if he talked too much.
I found a relatively dry place, lay down on the hay and changed into a more comfortable position, preparing to take a peaceful nap.
But the word "stability" is a bit hard to find in him today.
"If anyone visits the prison, please be honest!"
Along with the shouts of the jailer, there was no sound in the already quiet prison. After a while, a person was led by the jailer to outside the cell where Li Zhengyi and the others were.
"Wuda, Second Brother Li, are you two okay?"
"Uncle He Jiu, why are you here again?"
The person who came was none other than Uncle He Jiu. Wu Dalang immediately walked to the door of the cell, looked at him and asked excitedly: "But my brother is back?"
Although I knew it was unlikely, I couldn't stop my extravagant hopes. As expected, the answer I got was no.
Li Zhengyi stopped laughing and looked a little complicated, not because Wu Song didn't come back.
It was because a few days ago, under the guidance of Uncle He Jiu, he came to this prison to visit the prison, but he couldn't get out after this visit.
The other party is here again now, and I don’t know why.
"Brother Li, I...I'm sorry."
Uncle He Jiu looked very guilty. Looking at the dazzling word "Jie" on Li Zhengyi's forehead, and his frail appearance now, compared with a few days ago, it was simply heaven and earth.
After all, I made a mistake in my search, otherwise Brother Li might still be having a good time outside.
"I didn't expect Lao Zhang to lie to me. In fact, he was forced to do so. Don't blame him... Sigh..."
Li Zhengyi knew in his heart that the leader of the thief was Ximen Qing. Even if Lao Zhang did not obey his orders and lured him in, other Lao Wang and Lao Li would take his place.
But when it came to forgiveness, he didn't know whether Lao Zhang was really forced to do it or if he did it intentionally. Even Uncle He Jiu in front of him could not see clearly.
But now that he has fallen into such a situation, the other party should have no reason to lie to him again. Thinking of this, Li Zhengyi gradually became less indifferent towards Uncle He Jiu.
"I wonder why Uncle He Jiu is here?"
Uncle He Jiu didn't answer first, but took out an oil paper bag from his arms and handed it in through the gap between the logs.
When Li Zhengyi opened it, he found a fragrant roast chicken and several white-flour steamed buns inside.
"Eat, let's talk after you finish."
My stomach is already rumbling, and there is nothing more important than this roast chicken right now.
So he tore off most of it and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
Wu Dalang also saw that Uncle He Jiu was mainly here to visit Li Er, so he was not too greedy and took the remaining half and ate the meat like crazy.
Li Zhengyi ate the roasted chicken and did not ignore the white-flour steamed buns. He only stopped temporarily because he couldn't stuff his mouth full.
"Snake, snake thanks, why..."
Seeing that he couldn't speak, Uncle He Jiu quickly handed over the small pot of wine that was still hidden.
"Swallow carefully, take a sip of wine before eating."
Li Zhengyi was very grateful for Uncle He Jiu's favor. In the end, there were not even a few bones left in the meat and wine.
"Will Uncle He Jiu come again tomorrow?"
Although I knew it wouldn't happen, I still asked knowingly, just because the roast chicken was so delicious.
After eating this roast chicken, the sour rice is probably a little hard to swallow.
"Well, I also begged Lao Zhang to let him in secretly. In addition to visiting Brother Li, I also have some news to tell you two."
Knowing that business was about to come, Li Zhengyi's expression became serious and he listened carefully to Uncle He Jiushu's next words.
"I have inquired clearly. The official will send you on your way in three days."
"What?! They are really going to kill me!"
Wu Dalang suddenly shouted in fear, unable to believe the news. Could it be that what they had just eaten was decapitation rice?
Li Zhengyi also looked horrified. This was something completely beyond his expectation. He originally thought that the worst he could do was to stay in this prison for another ten days before returning to the main world.
When the time comes, even if the task is not completed and he is punished, he will accept it. Who would have thought that he really can't go back!
"No! It's not beheading, it's exile to the prison!"
Seeing Wu Da's panicked look, Uncle He quickly spoke clearly to prevent the two of them from being overwhelmed and doing something they shouldn't do.
"Not beheading? Exile?!"
Uncle He Jiu also took a deep breath and did not dare to speak slowly. Instead, he directly told all the news to the two people in the cell.
"According to the information I got, Brother Li, you are charged with robbery, and Wu Da is charged with theft."
"Because the gold hairpin is valuable, you, like Brother Li, were sentenced to being exiled two thousand miles to the prison city of Mengzhou to work as coolies."
It's okay, okay, as long as you live, you have a chance.
While Li Zhengyi was feeling lucky, Wu Dalang had a bitter look on his face, thinking that Li Er was fine, but he was just beginning to recover from his injuries, but he would be exiled two thousand miles away in three days.
I'm afraid that if I can't reach Mengzhou, I will die of illness on the way. Even if he arrived in one breath, how could the coolie be done by ordinary people?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Uncle He Jiu's sleeve and asked: "Uncle He Jiu, does he know how my wife is doing? Please quickly sell her property and ask the county master..."
Considering that those people said that the county master had gone out, he changed his words and said: "Go and beg those...those people to let them forgive for a while. When my brothers come back, I will definitely thank them."
"well……"
After hearing Wu Dalang's request, Uncle He Jiu sighed and said, "Ms. Pan is no longer in your house..."
"Not here? Where did Jin Lian go?"
Uncle He Jiu glanced at Li Zhengyi next to him and said, "The day after the second brother Li was imprisoned a few days ago, Ximen Qing went to your house..."
"ah?!"
Wu Dalang's originally pale face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he shouted: "Okay, that bitch, I knew she was restless, but I didn't expect that she would hook up with Ximen Qing as soon as Brother Li came in. On!"
After hearing this, Li Zhengyi thought to himself, maybe not? Have you misjudged the person? I thought Pan Jinlian would never be like that again, but it turned out that she knew people and faces but not the heart.
But why did Wu Dalang's words sound weird? Why did Pan Jinlian hook up with someone else just after he came in?
"Wuda, why do you keep interrupting me? Can't you wait for me to finish what I'm saying?"
Uncle He Jiu didn't like Wu Dalang's style very much. He would yell and scream non-stop when something happened. Look at how calm Brother Li is.
Even when he thought he was going to be beheaded, his face just turned pale, unlike this Wu Dalang.
But you still have to say it, and you can’t wrong others.
"Wu Da, please stop interrupting and listen to me."
After taking a breath, Uncle He Jiu continued: "Ximen Qing went to your house, but Madam Pan has long since disappeared."
"That morning, Mrs. Wang came to your door first, and then some gangsters started making trouble. Madam Pan never opened the door. When Ximen Qing forced open the door to your room later that night, the room was already empty, and Madam Pan didn't know how to hide. Where?"
After finally finishing speaking, Uncle He Jiu took a few long breaths. It is very tiring to keep talking so much when you are old.
Li Zhengyi thought that just as he expected, Pan Jinlian had already lost her way, how could she easily follow others again?
But Wu Dalang sighed with a blank expression: "Jin Lian took my money and ran away?"
…
When Uncle He Jiu heard this, he felt a little depressed and couldn't stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Li Zhengyi and left the prison.
