Chapter 249 If I knew today, why bother (1)
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back again. Wei Zhizhi's expression was blurred because of the distance.

Wei Zhizhi put down the curtain of the car, pursed his lips slightly and stared at the toes of his shoes.That petty and awkward man actually looked back at her.

Ming Cui sat across from her, looked at her for a while, and sighed deeply, "Miss, you have to go around the west of the city to burn incense in the mountain temple, aren't you tired?"

Wei Zhizhi ignored her.

Ming Cui said to herself, "Miss, I'm tired. Go play on the mouth of Lan's guards, and make sure you don't show any traces. It's so sad."

Wei Zhizhi raised his head, with a smile in his eyes, "In two years, I will decide to match you with a good husband, are you still worried?"

Ming Cui blushed, and said in a low voice, "Miss, Ming Cui only needs to be matched with someone who is neither treacherous nor lazy, but Miss can't be like this, Miss's lover should be a good match."

Wei Zhizhi's complexion gradually turned cold.

Ming Cui plucked up her courage and said, "Just talk about Yongrong, even if he can follow the young lady's wishes and make meritorious deeds, he won't be able to go up in a year or two..."

She paused for a while, "How long does Miss have to count on?"

Wei Zhizhi didn't speak, and remained silent.

At the end of November, it was very cold in Zhonghou City, Zhizhou.This winter has come quickly and fiercely, and the chills have made people panic for no reason.

In fact, the most worrisome thing was the rumor that the plainclothes imperial envoys were sent from Beijing to thoroughly investigate the illegal salt case in Zhizhou in the future.

Smuggling and smuggling salt has been a crime in all dynasties.

But as the saying goes, people make money and birds die for food. Under the huge profits, there are always people who take risks.

Although the imperial envoys never wanted to investigate those one or two little ones, they wanted to investigate the root of the entanglement, but Zhizhou became a hard-hit area for private salt this summer, and the disaster even alarmed the emperor in Beijing, Zhizhou Prefecture Adults are naturally worried about losing their heads in their dreams.

So holding a chicken feather as an arrow, these days a burst of arresting people, in line with the principle of preferring manslaughter than reckless indulgence, after being arrested, they will be tortured and served, and they will be interrogated one by one. , He can come up with some important political achievements.

Su Jue felt particularly difficult this winter.

Since he could remember, there was no winter day that was not surrounded by warm charcoal in fox fur. This kind of winter experience in a prison was really something that his suave and suave Mr. Su had never done in eight lifetimes of nightmares.

The big prison in Zhonghou City was dark and damp, and because of the strong wind during this period, the cells were full, and each cell held about a dozen people, with all kinds of stupid and insane symptoms.

A pampered young man like Su Jue, with a thin body, can't be beaten or robbed, so he just huddled in the corner of the prison, in line with the principle of not being accidentally injured, starving and cold, watching those people go crazy Grab a bowl of rice soaked in hard water.

The group of lunatics were fighting madly, when suddenly footsteps came from the corridor of the prison, accompanied by the rustling sound of people being dragged along, Su Jue's entire body was trembling.

Sure enough, a moment later, the cell door opened, and a bloody half-dead man was thrown in with a snap.

The lunatics grabbing the cold food were stunned, a few pairs of black hands grabbed the rim of the bowl, stopped moving, and turned to look at the half-dead man on the ground.

The two guards, who were tall and rough, locked the cell door, turned to the opposite cell, and opened the cell door. A group of unkempt people in the cell shrank back, for fear of being caught by their golden eyes.

But in the end there are people who are unlucky.

The two guards took a glance, walked in, dragged a man out, and suddenly the man's horrific cry came from the whole prison, "I'm wronged, I'm wronged——"

With a mournful end, the cry gradually disappeared in the corridor of the cell. For a long time, the cell was silent.

To be dragged out means to be interrogated, and to be interrogated means that you may come back dead, or you may come back with half your life, everyone knows this.

After a moment of silence, a group of lunatics started grabbing food again.

A lunatic cursed, "Hey, even if I want to kill me, I'll be a full-fledged ghost!"

From the dirty strands of hair, Su Jue stared at the bloody half-dead man lying on the ground. At first, his teeth were chattering, then his shoulders were chattering, and finally his whole body was trembling like a cat Goat epilepsy.

No one paid any attention to the half-dead man.

Human life is like ants, and the indifference between life and death has been fully reflected in this ghost place.

Su Jue's only hope today is not a warm coat, not a bowl of hot rice, but that his parents can quickly receive a message from his third sister from the trustee in Beijing.

In June of last year, Xu Chengyu went to Beijing to win the martial arts examination, and with his uncle's relationship, he got an official position in Beijing.

Back to Dongyang in ten month, the bad breath in his chest couldn't be dissipated, so without saying a word, he carried his third sister Su Bi into Xu's mansion through the side door to be his concubine.It sounds nice to be a concubine, but to put it bluntly, she is just a bed warmer, because it is said that his second mother finally went to Xu's mansion to visit her daughter, and she cried when she came back. Very bad.

But the strange thing is that when Xu Chengyu went to Beijing to perform his duties in November, he brought his three younger sisters to Beijing.

This time he was arrested and awaiting trial, his parents tried their best to brazenly beg Xu Zhengfeng, not wanting to involve private salt, Xu Zhengfeng naturally refused to see him without hesitation, not to mention Miss Su's incident last year, which caused a lot of trouble Both Xu Zhengfeng and his son have a bad breath, it's a good thing not to take the opportunity to persecute them, why would they help them.

If so, Su Jue can only hope that his third sister, Su Bi, will blow Xu Chengyu's pillow wind, let Xu Chengyu pass a message to his father, and find a way to let him live.

That night Su Jue really didn't fall asleep. He was cold, hungry and sleepy. He huddled between two sleepy prisoners who were also disheveled, leaning against the cold and damp corner of the wall, looking at the fist-sized transom on the high wall of the opposite cell, He was in a daze like a living dead until the transom window gradually glowed with hazy sky light.

There was a suffocating silence in the dark prison before dawn, so Su Jue couldn't help but put his hand under his nose from time to time to check if he was still breathing.

He was really worried that his body was dead and his heart didn't know.

Just when he stretched out his hand for the fifth time to smell his breath, at the end of the long cell aisle, there was the sound of an iron lock being opened, followed by the sound of footsteps.

After being stunned for a moment, the eyes of the few prisoners who were awakened were all terrified, and Su Jue was no exception. What he was most afraid of was that the jailer would come to interrogate the prisoner. He shrank back into the corner again, but at this moment he heard His mother's suppressed trembling voice, "Jue'er, Jue'er..."

Su Jue's whole body trembled, and his dull eyes suddenly burst into shocking light. He recklessly pushed away the two sleeping prisoners who were leaning against him, and rushed to the side of the prison bar, "Mother! Mother! Father..."
