Qin Xiao saw an empty wine jar lying on the head of the bed, knowing that the old guy had no wine to drink, he coughed and said: "Uncle Shen, is there any wine?"
The snoring of the old drunkard stopped abruptly. He immediately sat up and saw Qin Xiao standing outside the door. He grinned and said: "Come on, get on the wine, I'm gone last night."
He is over fifty years old, his skin is dark, his face is quite dirty, and he seems to have not washed his face for many days.
"It's okay to ask for wine." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "But since the day before yesterday, you have no money on your account. I paid for the wine for these two days. I also have limited abilities, so I can't pay any more. ."
The old drunkard stretched his waist and said: "If you have no money, you said earlier, I can still give you money for alcohol."
"That's good." Qin Xiao said: "The above means, if Uncle Shen can pay for the wine today, he will naturally be able to say anything. If he can't get it out, then he has to change to the C-character supervisor."
"What the above means, you don't know when you are an old person. You have the final say on this Jiazi Supervisor." The old drunkard said with no anger: "You are young, good at calculations, and take money so seriously. "
Qin Xiao said with a bitter face: "You always know that it is not so easy to bring wine to the A character prison. The brothers have to get it. It doesn't matter if I can't get the silver, but they are not good. Cope."
The old drunkard got out of bed and walked to the prison door with his bare feet covered in mud. He looked a bit wretched and grinned: "You go and get a jar of wine. I will never pay for your wine. ."
Qin Xiao shook his head without speaking.
The old drunkard said slightly annoyed: "I have been here for two months, and you and I are considered to have some friendship, just like this?"
"Uncle Shen, if it weren't for reading our friendship, you would have been sent out of the Jiazi Supervisor two days ago." Qin Xiao sighed, "It's not that I don't want to help. I really can't do anything."
"It's fine." The old drunkard said helplessly: "There is no friendship without money these days, I have seen it through." Approaching Qin Xiao, he whispered: "There is a place where you can receive a hundred taels of silver, you Go over and get it tomorrow night."
"One hundred taels?" Qin Xiao was a little surprised. If he hadn't really gotten the dozens of silver last time, Qin Xiao would never believe that this old guy could still come up with one hundred taels of silver, and frowned:" Uncle Shen, are you kidding me?"
The old drunkard smiled unpredictably and said: "No jokes, no jokes. Do you know the Xicheng Temple of Earth?"
Qin Xiao has been in Guicheng for several years. The streets and alleys are very familiar. The whole Guicheng and the east and west of the city each have a land temple, but the incense is not good. The land temple in the west city is remote and has long been Deserted, nodded and said: "You know, the silver is in the earth temple?"
The old drunkard chuckled and said, "When you go to the Earth Temple tomorrow night, you can naturally get one hundred taels of silver, twenty taels of silver will be used as your errands, and the rest will be recorded in the account, enough for me Expenses in the future."
"Wait a minute." Qin Xiao said immediately: "You let me go by tomorrow night? Isn't that midnight?" With a wry smile, "Uncle Shen, you also know that the land of the temple is very barren, Run over in the middle of the night, if there is a ghost in it, don’t you want to scare me to death?"
"The son doesn't talk with strange power." The old drunken ghost rolled his eyes and said, "I don't have a coin on my body now. If you want silver, you can only go to the earth temple to get it."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Uncle Shen, don't be angry. I mean, since the silver is in the Temple of Earth, you tell me where to hide the silver, I am during the day
Wouldn't it be better to take it? "
"Do you think that one hundred taels of silver is the same as last time, hidden in the horns?" The old drunk rolled his eyes and said, "I tell you the truth, those hundred taels of silver are a debt to me, I It's the creditor. Tomorrow night, that person will go to the Temple of Earth to pay the debt."
"Someone owes you a debt?" Qin Xiao became more surprised: "Uncle Shen, don't laugh."
"Your eyes, like those ordinary people, are very snobbery." The old drunkard looked like a child and sighed: "If you can't get the money tomorrow night, even if you drive me out of the Jiazi prison, I have nothing to say."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Uncle Shen, it's such a coincidence, the money on your account just disappeared, someone will give you money?"
"It’s not a coincidence. I counted it as good." The old drunkard said: "Today is the fourth day of March. I have agreed with that person. Even if there is a big event, at midnight on the fifth day of March, you must Send the debt silver to the Xicheng Earth Temple. The person keeps his promise and will not miss the appointment. Go ahead and see that person, except that Yao Master Shen asked you to pick up the silver, and he will naturally hand the silver to you."
Qin Xiao still hesitated, but the old drunkard had stretched his waist and said, "I know that when you work in a yamen, you can only get two taels a month. You will get twenty taels of silver tomorrow night. Almost up to your one-year salary, if you don’t want to, you can drive me away now, and the one hundred taels of silver will be a waste."
After so many years, Qin Xiao also understands that silver is really a good thing, even if it is a hero, there is no shortage of this yellow and white thing.
Although there is a lot of income in the Jiazi Supervisor, the brothers in the prison have a share, and Qin Xiao's hands are not too many. Twenty taels of silver is also very attractive to Qin Xiao.
Meng Catou also told Qin Xiao to earn some money before, and he must save it well. In a few years, he will marry a wife and have children. There are many places to spend money. The dwelling in Mudu Alley is very simple, and if you have enough money, you can change to a better one.
A trip tomorrow night, twenty taels of silver, it can be considered a windfall.
"Uncle Shen, there is no danger, right?" Qin Xiao thought for a while before lowering his voice: "Are there any traps there?"
The old drunkard stared at Qin Xiao’s eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Trap? You think who you are, and set a trap for you? I'm still in prison. If something really happened to you, I can still Have a good time?" After yawning, he glanced down at the wine gourd on Qin Xiao's waist, licked his lips and said, "I'll go to bed first, and get me an altar of wine later." On the side of the bed, he fell back, no more nonsense.
Guicheng is the center of Xiling, but it is a place where business travelers from east to west must pass.
Qianzhangli, Changyan, the sunset is closed.
Xiling land is vast and sparsely populated, wind and sand are raging, and the environment is harsh, but it can't stop the pace of business travelers.
The Wutuo people from the west, the Tusun people from the north, and the Tang people from the west of Jiayuguan can all see them in Guicheng, and even the murderers who committed major crimes came to take refuge in Xiling. Some warriors of the rivers and lakes are resting here, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons. Although the turtle city is not as magnificent as Xiling Fenggan Mansion, there are hundreds of thousands of people.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the city was crowded with people in different costumes, bustling and lively.
If you say that the most lively place in the city, except for the prostitutes, it can only be the gambling shops scattered all over the city.
Gambling shops are just like rivers and lakes, sitting at the gaming table, whether you are a rich businessman or Jiang
Lake Ranger, whether you are a hero or a pawn, there is only one identity here, and that is a gambler. No one cares what identity you are after you go out. There is only one idea here, that is, you The money in my pocket wins my pocket.
The Golden Hook Gambling House is the top gambling house in the Turtle City Row. After dark, the gambling house is overcrowded.
Qin Xiao wore casual clothes at this time, standing in front of the tea shop opposite the Golden Hook Gambling House, looking thoughtfully at the gambling house where the people on the opposite side entered and exited.
Wen Budao, the **** of gambling, will be escorted to Fenggan Mansion in a few days. There is something strange. The ghost behind it is probably Qiao Leshan, who is now in charge of the Golden Hook Gambling Shop. I don’t know why, Qin Xiao just thinks Wen Budao had fallen into an extremely dangerous situation, but he couldn't tell how dangerous it was.
Don't say that he is just a jailer who guards the prison, that is, Duwei Han, who also has no right to interrogate the details of the case.
The county guard of Zhen County is located in Guicheng. There are six Cao Cao under the county guard mansion. Apart from the Xing Cao, there are some powers. The other Cao Cao is in name only. Many local affairs are actually controlled by Zhen Hou Mansion.
Criminal cases in Zhen County are heard by the Xing Cao, and the Duwei Mansion's responsibility is to assist the Xing Cao in arresting prisoners in addition to maintaining the law and order of Guicheng.
Xing Cao can transfer prisoners from the prison at any time with a piece of official document, and the Capitol has no right to stop him.
Qin Xiao has been in charge of the Jiazi prison for more than two years. As long as the prisoners who enter the Jiazi prison have been convicted, unless they are released after serving their sentence, there are almost no prisoners transferred.
Wei Han Duwei also instructed Qin Xiao several times that the guards must perform their duties, but don't ask the criminals what crimes they committed, let alone get involved in the criminals' right and wrong.
Qin Xiao also understands the deep meaning behind Du Wei Han.
Hou Zhen’s eyes have been fixed on the mansion, hoping to find the handle of the mansion. If the mansion is involved in the case, it will inevitably be labeled by the mansion of abuse of power. This of course will cause great trouble to the captain's mansion.
Wen Budao's case is very strange. Qin Xiao knew in his heart that even if he really figured out the truth behind the case, he might not be able to help much, and even accidentally would cause trouble to the captain's mansion.
Working in a prison in Guicheng for several years has not only exercised Qin Xiao’s cleverness in getting along with people, but also made Qin Xiao’s heart simple. He clearly felt that Wen Budao was in a dangerous situation this time, but he did not notice. Qin Xiao couldn't do it if he turned a blind eye.
He only hopes to understand some of the oddities, and if he can help, he will do his best.
The turtle city is mixed with dragons and fish. There are a lot of things that happen every day, big and small things will become the topic of chatting on the streets and alleys. Wen Budao was once a famous celebrity in the turtle city. This time, he will be sent to Fenggan Mansion for retrial. It is not a trivial matter, and this kind of thing has often become a hot topic in teahouse wine.
But I went around a few teahouses, but didn't hear anyone talk about being gentle.
Qin Xiao knew in his heart that although Supervisor A received a document to transfer Wen Budao away, the matter was not spread, at least few people in the market knew about it.
Standing in front of the teahouse, thinking about it, suddenly heard the yelling from the opposite side, looking up, I saw a figure flying out of the Golden Hook Gambling House, with a "bang", and landed on the street in front of the door Immediately after seeing a few big guys rushing out of the gambling house, the two big guys rushed forward, raised their feet and kicked the man lying on the ground. The man held his head and wailed.
