Turbulent Times Chapter 561: Visit

In this era, there is no such thing as human rights. In many cases, the status and status are not up to par, and there is no reason to speak.

For example, apart from the master, most of the servants in the family of a rich family are of low status. The so-called "low status" includes many things. There are quite a few maids like this in Qin Anhou's mansion, and some of them are prisoners of war captured after the Southern and Northern Wars of the Sui Dynasty. Naturally, the government will not keep these prisoners of war to waste food, so the temperamental They were hacked, and the gentle ones were sold to rich families as handymen...

The lowly nationality of the Sui Dynasty is almost from these sources.

What is regrettable is that these lowly statuses are not within the scope of the protection of the law of the Sui Dynasty. Whether it is a concubine, a maid, or a handyman, if the owner is unhappy, they will be killed on the spot. , the reality is very cruel, and the government will not care about it. You don't even need to say anything to the government when you kill a lowly slave. A few hundred pennies, this matter is considered closed.

It's ridiculous, but this is the fact. In this era, the lives of ordinary people are as cheap as animals, and the lives of lowly people are not as valuable as animals.

Jing Tian was originally from the south of the Yangtze River, but he went to the Northwest before, and led a group of horse thieves with Zhang Jike in the Qilian Mountains to rob and kill everywhere. Obviously, his background and status are not ordinary.

In fact, Wang Junlin knew that Jing Tian was originally a general of the Chen Dynasty, and he was unwilling to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, so he ran to be a horse thief, but at that time he fled to the northwest alone, and the people in his family and other Chen Dynasty were unwilling. The family members of the officials who surrendered were all arrested by Yang Su at that time. Some of the men were killed, but all the female family members stayed behind. In the hands of big landowners and wealthy merchants.

And one of Jingtian's sisters was bought by this rich businessman to serve as a slave at home. Since Jingtian came to the capital, he secretly investigated the whereabouts of his relatives. A few days ago, with the help of Shen Guang, he finally found out where his sister was. Found this rich merchant.

Coincidentally, when he came, he happened to meet a rich businessman punishing his sister, and it was very evil and cruel. As soon as he killed someone, without even throwing the body aside from his hands, the officials from Jingzhao Mansion arrived.

Such a serious case happened, and while arresting people, Chen Sansi reported to him. Although Chen Sansi knew that Wang Junlin had some relationship with the Red Knife Society, the underworld force in the capital, he didn't know that the leader of the Red Knife Society was Jing Tian. What's more, even if he knew, he would still have Jing Tiansuo arrested.

The details of the case were finished, and the Ya Nei Hall of Jingzhao Mansion fell into silence.

Chen Sansi stroked his beard and looked at Wang Junlin with a rather annoyed expression. He thought he had done nothing wrong in this matter, and he acted impartially, let alone wronged Jing Tian.

Wang Junlin's expression turned ugly. He found this matter very troublesome and tricky.

Even if the rich businessman killed Jing Tian's sister, he would only be fined a few hundred renminbi at most according to the laws of the Sui Dynasty. Even if Jingtian refuses to confess, it is useless for witnesses and physical evidence. Of course, he, Wang Junlin, can also use some of the most common shady methods used by powerful people to save Jingtian, such as stealing the beam and replacing the pillar, finding a substitute, etc., but let’s not talk about Chen. Think twice whether to give him this face, even if Chen Sansi is willing to help him with this matter, there will definitely be people from Hanwang watching secretly, and then not only will Jingtian not be saved, but he will be burned. Judging from the current situation, as long as Wang Junlin is more careful, he is not afraid of being assassinated by the enemy.

But if his enemies follow the officialdom and the imperial court's way of fighting, it will be really difficult for him, Wang Junlin, if he does not want to betray the Sui Dynasty.

After a long silence, Chen Sansi coughed a few times, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Qin Anhou thinks about my handling this way? If there is any injustice... the guard of your mansion, I am willing to argue the truth with Qin Anhou Two."

Wang Junlin's face was ashen, and he snorted coldly: "Master Chen's officials are obviously instructed by others, and their testimony is no longer valid?"

Chen Sansi smiled wryly, sighed and said: "Qin Anhou, you and I are both mentally aware of this matter, the other party is here for you, I think you should not get involved in this matter, your guards are locked in the prison, The official will send someone to take good care of him until he goes to the execution ground, and he will not be wronged."

Wang Junlin squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Master Chen, I want to meet Jing Tian in the prison."

Chen Sansi shook his head vigorously: "No, Jingtian is already a prisoner on death row. According to the laws of the Sui Dynasty, he cannot see outsiders."

Wang Junlin suddenly became suspicious, frowned and stared at him up and down: "Master Chen, is there something shady and secret here? If Mr. Chen thinks that I am easy to bully because I have no official title, why not have dinner and tea tonight Think about it when you are in..."

Chen Sansi's complexion changed slightly, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, but in the end he sighed bitterly, who dares to bully you, a peerless murderer, even the King of Han, how dare I stroke a tiger's beard... ...

"That's all! Let Qin Anhou be convinced and see if I have made a fuss in it! I will send someone to lead Qin Anhou to visit him in prison. Forgive me for not accompanying me!"

Chen Sansi snorted angrily, got up and left, but Wang Junlin got up, grabbed Chen Sansi's official robe brocade sleeve, saluted Chen Sansi with a smile, and said: "If Mr. Chen can keep Jingtian alive for five days, This junior owes Mr. Chen a favor, and it will be rewarded in due course."

Chen Sansi hesitated for a while. Although Wang Junlin spoke politely, intentionally or unintentionally, he revealed a fierce look. He was shocked, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I will promise you, Baojingtian for five days Not dead, but after five days, he will still be beheaded according to the law."

………

………

The prison is next to the government office, and it is located underground.

An officer led Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu into the cell with a short body and walked down the steps. As soon as he took a step, Wang Junlin couldn't help but covered his nose and frowned.

Compared to ancient prisons, the prison cells in this period are too short, too dark, and too smelly. However, there is no such thing as human rights in this era. Big weirdness.

The cell where Jing Tian was held was in the innermost cell, the murderer of the murder case, and Jing Tian was a mafia boss after all, so the officials should give him special treatment. After many twists and turns, Wang Junlin finally saw Jing Tian.

Jing Tian sat on the wet floor of the cell with red eyes, his hands and feet were in heavy shackles, his hair was covered with grass clippings and dirt, messy, and his expression was extremely gloomy.
