A few rays of the setting sun shone into the cell through the palm-sized wooden windows, and the dim light made people feel depressing.
The dilapidated mud walls are uneven, and the corners of the walls are damp and smelly. A few cockroaches are busy crawling around. Their days are far more fulfilling than those of the prisoners locked up here.
Beside the east wall, a young man with dirt on his face stared blankly at the dirty ground under his feet. He seemed stupid, but in fact, his mind was already turned upside down.
The young man's surname is Si Nian, a flower grower who worked tirelessly to take the public examination, but because he ate a piece of unripe melon before going to the examination room, he had diarrhea and fainted. When he woke up again, he was already in a pickled prison.
Inexplicable time travel~
The inexplicable life begins from this moment.
The young man lowered his head and looked at his whole body. He saw a gray linen garment made of very uncomfortable fabric. It was dirty and torn, and there were two obvious holes on his thighs. Could it be the latest style popular in this dynasty?
Under the slightly thin body, there is another emotion struggling hard, and that is the host's soul.
Coincidentally, the host has the same name as him.
During the short half-day that Gu Sinian was in a daze, he only understood one thing.
He traveled to a different world, a dynasty that had never appeared in history.
"Boy, you finally woke up."
"Hey, I'm asking you a question, wake up!"
Suddenly someone next to him kicked Gu Sinian's curled legs, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, but without any malice.
Gu Sinian's eyes were slightly sideways. The man who spoke was also young, about 20 years old. His wrists were shackled and he was leaning against the wall. There was a trace of bohemianism on his face. The man's appearance was quite delicate and fair. The palm looked out of place in the dim cell.
"This is, which dynasty and generation is this?"
"What's wrong? Did you fall silly because of that fall this morning? It's the Great Liang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenglong!"
The young man replied with some impatience.
"Daliang Dynasty ~ Zhenglong ~"
Gu Sinian recited it several times. He was familiar with history books and loved literature. He could conclude that this was a different world, or a parallel time and space?
Along the way, Gu Sinian glanced around. In addition to the two of them, there were two prisoners in the cell. They were leaning against the mud wall in a daze. They were covered in filth and looked unrecognizable. One of them had some bruises on the corners of his mouth, like Got punched a few times.
I don't know how many innocent souls were sent away in this cell. The smell of death filled the air, making Gu Sinian feel uncomfortable all over.
"Why am I here?"
"Why are you here? Nonsense, weren't you sent to Langzhou as a soldier? Are you really confused?"
The young man replied impatiently:
"Aren't you really stupid?"
Gu Sinian's heart tightened. Distribution or exile?
That's not right. According to common sense, shouldn't the person who time travels be a poor prince or a good-for-nothing young master from a big family? Once again, he must be a little beggar who follows Taizu, and then makes a fortune by relying on a broken bowl.
As soon as he landed, he was a thief and an army?
"Hey, kid, let me ask you something."
The young man moved along the corner to Gu Sinian and lowered his voice:
"I heard that you are the study boy who came out of Prince Pingling's Mansion?
Then you must have met King Pingling, right?
Isn't King Pingling a pillar of the imperial court and a warrior on the battlefield? Why did he rebel overnight?
Alas, in the end, everyone in the family was killed, and the servants were married. No one in the world expected it. "
This guy was like a chatterbox, asking a lot of questions in a row, spitting everywhere.
As soon as the man finished speaking, Gu Sinian's head felt a sharp pain, and he felt like the world was spinning.
Another soul in the body is struggling crazily with endless resentment and unwillingness, trying to break through the constraints.
Only two words echoed in my mind:
Unjust, wronged~
"Hoo~"
After a while, Gu Sinian woke up from the host's memory fragments.
This host is the study boy of some prince's palace. He is clearly the illegitimate son of King Pingling who is hiding in the palace. It is still unknown why his identity is hidden.
It is precisely because of this that the young Gu Sinian escaped death under the imperial edict that ordered everyone to be executed, and ended up wandering thousands of miles away. Compared to those relatives in the mansion who had long since died, his ending was considered to be the best.
"I'm asking you, why are you so stunned!" The young man poked him again:
"You haven't woken up yet?"
Gu Sinian spread his hands:
"I am a little book boy, what can I know?"
"That's right." The young man leaned against the wall with some boredom:
"Looking at you like this, I guess you are stupid because of reading, and you don't know anything about it."
Gu Sinian looked at him curiously. The other prisoners in the room were silent and looked depressed. How could this guy be so energetic after being imprisoned?
"I don't know how to call you young master?
I see that the young master has a dignified appearance and delicate features. He looks like a son of a good family. How can he be in this cell? "
"Hey, you finally said something that I heard."
The young man patted his thigh and pulled back his long hair. He was in a good mood and said with a grin:
"Jiang Yufeng, please call me Mr. Jiang.
As for going to jail, haha, of course I was wronged. "
Jiang Yufeng was really thick-skinned, and people would call him Young Master whenever he opened his mouth. However, judging from his words and demeanor, he must have come from a wealthy family, and he was completely different from the other two prisoners.
"Chi~"
Before Gu Sinian could answer, a bearded prisoner next to him smiled disdainfully:
"Master Jiang, nine and a half out of ten people who enter this cell say that they were wronged.
They are all good people~"
The word "good guy" was drawn out quite a bit, full of sarcasm.
Jiang Yufeng frowned, pointed at the man's nose and cursed:
"Shut your stinky mouth. I don't care whether I am a good person or not. If you are a child abductor and trafficker, I will beat you every time I see you.
I think you are lighting a candle in the toilet, looking for death! "
Gu Sinian was extremely astonished. He did not expect that Mr. Jiang, who looked gentle and gentle, could scold people so fiercely.
The prisoner was also a bully. His face turned red after being scolded, but he didn't dare to scold him back.
"Bang bang bang!"
Jiang Yufeng's loud curses summoned the jailer outside the cell. The ferocious jailer knocked on the cells fiercely, stared and cursed:
"Straight bitches, shut up!"
"A group of thieves who joined the army and ransacked their homes to confiscate the goods for the army, are still howling when they get here!
You don’t even know you’re about to die! "
Several people shrank their necks at the same time, turned their heads to the side, and did not dare to answer.
As soon as the jailer left, Jiang Yufeng spoke again:
"Boy, I still don't know what your name is?"
"Gu Sinian~"
"Hmm~ The name is quite good, he looks a bit like a scholar." Jiang Yufeng asked softly:
"Do you have any money in your pocket?"
"Uh, no~"
Gu Sinian frowned slightly. Could it be that this guy was a bully in prison and wanted to collect protection money?
I came through time travel, and I don't have half a dick on my body. If I really want to collect protection money, I can only ask him if it is a certain letter or a certain treasure. If it doesn't work, just ask him.
"Oh, if you don't have money, you'll be in trouble."
Jiang Yufeng sighed: "You haven't seen much of the world, so I kindly tell you.
Tonight, there will be interrogations one by one by the chiefs. To put it bluntly, they are to see if you have any luck. They will give you some money and show your respect. If nothing happens, if your wallet is bulging, I can take care of you in the cell later.
If you don't have any money, then I'll give you thirty killing blows first, and then I'll have a gold tattoo on your forehead. Once the tattoo is printed, your life will be ruined.
And with your small body, a thirty-man killing stick can kill you. Several servants of the palace who came with you were all beaten to death yesterday, and their bodies must have been fed to the dogs.
Besides, it's a good thing that you didn't die. When you get to the death row prisoner's cell, those crazy men won't their eyes light up when they see a pretty boy like you?
I’m afraid they’ll have to use you to make some fun~”
Jiang Yufeng looked at it while talking.
Gu Sinian, the strange gaze made Gu Sinian's scalp tingle.
Looking for happiness?
Gu Sinian suddenly tensed up somewhere, and his face turned the color of pig liver.
Either it will fall into a box, or it will be played with?
God, you are playing with me!
Gu Sinian suddenly felt his thigh being poked, and subconsciously reached out to touch it. Jiang Yufeng secretly pushed a small hard thing over to her.
silver?
Gu Sinian glanced at Jiang Yufeng in surprise. They met by chance. How could this guy be so generous?
A thin gossamer voice drifted into his ears:
"I don't have much with me, so I can only give you this much. Just save yourself a few sticks to save your life.
King Pingling is not a bad person, and you are neither. Think of me as doing good deeds.
Don't make a sound~"
Gu Sinian nodded knowingly and cast a grateful look.
The unexpected encounter could help him, and Gu Sinian had a lot of affection for Jiang Yufeng.
Furthermore, his tone seemed to tacitly acknowledge that Prince Pingling was a good man, so perhaps the whole family being copied was really a huge injustice.
As Jiang Yufeng shut up, silence returned to the cell, and there was no more sound.
As the sun set over the mountain, the light in the cell became darker and darker, and occasionally faint wailing could be heard from the corridor outside.
It was estimated that another unlucky prisoner was beaten.
Just as Jiang Yufeng said, several prisoners were taken away one after another, and life and death depended on this.
Jiang Yufeng didn't panic at all when he left. He had enough money in his pocket to escape the disaster, and he even winked at Gu Sinian leisurely.
"Oh~ tattoo.
I don’t want to get tattooed when I first come here. "
Gu Sinian, who was alone, sighed, touched his forehead, and waited anxiously.
"boom!"
"It's your turn, that thief's army!"
Two fierce-looking jailers walked in, and without any explanation, they lifted Gu Sinian up and walked out.
Gu Sinian, whose hands and feet were shackled, just walked out of the cell. He also saw a corpse being dragged and thrown out. It was bloody and made him feel nauseated.
Isn't this the guy who just shared a cell with me and trafficked young children?
But if you die, just die. Gu Sinian despises this kind of people from the bottom of his heart. Human trafficking is a huge crime in modern times.
The two jailers walked and chatted, completely assuming that Gu Sinian was a dead man. After being in the cell for so many years, they could tell at a glance whether the prisoner had money in his pockets.
"What happened to Xiao Chao today? He was so cruel. He was beaten to death with just ten sticks."
“Harm, you don’t know yet, right?
Xiao Chatou's old father-in-law passed away a few days ago, and the mother-in-law at home cried and made trouble and asked Chatou to get a pair of elegiac couplets that were on the table.
But I was very worried. "
"Hey, elegiac couplet?
The old gentlemen in the county are not cheap, and they can't beat anyone with better handwriting. "
"Isn't it? Those guys ask for a lot of money as soon as they open their mouths. It's really easy for scholars to make money.
Therefore, these supporting troops had their throats blocked by the northwest wind, and they were extremely unlucky. "
"Hey, I hope Chatou won't take his anger out on us~"
Hearing this, Gu Sinian's eyes lit up:
Elegiac couplet?
