I don't know what time it is outside in the dungeon, but it will be morning when the cell leader brings the gruel.
A bowl of gruel and a fist-sized piece of multigrain dough. This is breakfast and lunch. There are only two meals a day in the prison, morning and evening.
Of course, there are exceptions for people like Bailang who enjoy special treatment.
Others had multigrain dough, but Bailang had five meat buns, which were served with a bowl of brown sugar and millet porridge. You can also eat and drink with the prison boss at noon. Don't miss any of the three meals.
Bailang ate four of the five buns and left one for Han Niu. This thing is so edible. My biggest complaint in prison was that I was never full and was always half-full and hungry. Although a bun doesn't solve the problem, it at least makes Han Niu feel better. This thing is worthless on the outside, but in prison it is valuable enough to be thanked and remembered.
At noon, Bai Lang was sitting alone on a haystack eating lunch. The prisoners next to him avoided him and secretly swallowed his saliva. There was a sound of footsteps in the dungeon, and more than one person could be heard here and there, and the accompanying words made Bai Lang curl his lips. He could tell who the person was.
The two leaders were the cell leader Xiao Cheng, and the other was Zhang Liang, the head of the yamen team who had brought Bai Lang into the yamen and threatened them. Behind the two of them, there was one person each. He quickly entered the dungeon and stopped outside the prison area where Bailang was.
"Brother Bai, Team Leader Zhang wants to ask you a few questions." Xiao Cheng did not shy away from Zhang Liang and directly continued to address Bai Lang in the presence of Zhang Liang, expressing his position. Now Deputy Judge Liao, represented by Zhang Liang in the Yamen, can no longer bear the pressure. Otherwise, Zhang Liang wouldn't be allowed to come here. And it’s only been one day. To be honest, Xiao Cheng was a bit of a joke. Trying to take advantage of the knife shop without overestimating one's ability is just a joke.
"Oh? Mr. Xiao, why don't you let Mr. Zhang come in and talk?"
"Haha, Brother Bai is joking. To enter the prison area, you need to sign it with the prison chief or two deputy judges. Team leader Zhang only has a warrant from deputy judge Liao. According to the rules, he can only go to the prison for questioning, but cannot enter. In the prison area, you can't do anything else. So if Brother Bai wants to meet Zhang Bantou face to face, he has to wait until he gets out. At that time, I think Zhang Bantou will be easier to find.
Right, Bantou Zhang? "
Zhang Liang's face was ashen and he didn't even look at Xiao Cheng. He is very aware of his current situation. It was even clearer that at the beginning he underestimated the importance attached to Bai Lang by the Swordsman Academy, and overestimated Deputy Inspector Liao's power in the yamen. Nowadays, there is quite a bit of a dilemma.
Compared with Xiao Cheng's words at this time, Zhang Liang was more concerned about the outcome of the conversation with Bai Lang. This is related to the internal and external explanations between him and his boss, Deputy Judge Liao.
"Bai Lang, come here, I have something to tell you." Zhang Liang stood outside the iron fence with a frown on his face, his face gloomy, and his hands folded across his chest.
"Bot Zhang, Mr. Zhang, just say so. I'm still eating here, so I'll just listen to you while I'm eating." Bai Lang understood the effect of Xiao Cheng's words just now and the effect of the knife studio's exertion outside at this time. coming. And Xiao Cheng made it clear that he was helping him, so he no longer had to deal with Zhang Liangxu. This may even be the last time he talks to Zhang Liang like this. After going out, Bailang felt that he had to settle accounts with the other party.
Zhang Liang snorted heavily, took two steps forward, stared at Bai Lang and said: "Bai Lang, you have to think clearly. If you can catch me this time, you can do the same next time. Don't think that you have a swordsmanship to back you up. You can sit back and relax. Whenever the matters in your hands fall to my side, you won't be able to take advantage of me. You should have a sense of moderation in your arrogance, do you understand?"
"Oh, I won't bother Bantou Zhang. Next time? I still can't tell where I will meet Bantou Zhang next time. Who is not surprised? Why do you want to go so far?
If Zhang Bantou doesn't want to ask, forget it. I'm going to take a nap after dinner. How about you stop waiting and come back in the evening? "
Zhang Liang paused for a moment, and his angry gaze was blocked by the iron bars in front of him. He seemed to have calmed down the anger in his heart. He no longer wanted to overwhelm Bai Lang in terms of momentum and position, but directly said: "Bai Lang, you and Dazhang Zhuang's holiday ends here. Dongshi Li Xun and Ma Liu tell them to stop. We won't make things difficult for you anymore. How about that?"
Bai Lang stopped holding the chopsticks in his hand and turned to look curiously at Zhang Liang outside the prison area. He looked very carefully as if he wanted to see the flowers on the other person's face. Then the smile on his face grew brighter.
Bailang understood everything now. It’s not that Da Zhangzhuang is stupid and wants to get into a knife shop when he has a few dollars. But there are idiots in the yamen who really think they can control the knife shop. They have to give face to the yamen regardless of whether they are inside or outside the knife shop. More than one person thought this way, Zhang Liang in front of him was one of them, and so did Deputy Judge Liao behind him.
To Bai Lang, this was a joke. There is a ridiculous sense of déjà vu when you see a fool doing something stupid and not even realizing it.
"Bantou Zhang, I think you don't understand the current situation at all, do you? Is it my ability to sit here and eat? No, it's the knife studio's ability. Why did the knife studio spend so much effort? It's just that Is it because of me? Not really, but because there are some ignorant people who feel great after only a few days of full meals. They want to stretch out their hands randomly, trying here to test, and trying to figure out there. Anyway, I have to lend a hand. , the same can be said for the knife shop. Now Bantou Zhang actually thinks that I can expose this matter just by opening my mouth?
Still young? "
Phew!
As soon as Bai Lang finished speaking, the person next to him who couldn't hold back his laughter was cell leader Xiao Cheng. He didn't need to care about Zhang Liang's face, he just laughed out loud. I thought that Brother Bai was really talkative, and a sentence of "You're still young?" would probably make Zhang Liang half angry to death.
Xiao Cheng guessed right. Zhang Liang was indeed so angry that his face turned purple and blue for a while but he couldn't say a word for a long time. When did people in prison dare to talk to him, the head of the government office, like this? His words were full of disdain, even treating him as an immature child? !
"Bai Lang!" After gritting his teeth and spitting out the two words, Zhang Liang looked at Bai Lang fiercely for a while, then turned around and left without saying another word.
Xiao Cheng didn't even go to see Zhang Liang off. Instead, he waved his hand and asked the jailer below to watch and follow him away. He himself stayed outside the prison area and spoke to Bai Lang inside.
"Brother Bai, you have offended Zhang Liang to death. This man has a very small mind, and he will definitely have trouble with you in the future. You have to find a way."
Bai Lang put down his bowls and chopsticks, walked to the iron railing, cupped his hands towards Xiao Cheng, and said with a smile: "Boss Xiao, I will take care of Bai Lang in my heart. That squad leader doesn't want to see me, so it doesn't matter if I offend him or not." Besides, there aren't many people who can't clearly see the situation, which is scary. Just be more careful when you go out.
I just don’t know how long I have to stay here? "
"That's not clear. But Zhang Liang can't hold it in anymore, and Brother Bai should also know which way the situation is going. It will only take two or three days at most. Maybe Brother Bai can go out today or tomorrow. This It all depends on what the Yamen Chief above says."
