marquis of jingan

Chapter 2 New arrival
In an unremarkable single cell in the Jiangdu county government prison, a young man with bloody buttocks and back passed out on some damp straw.

He has been comatose all day.

When the sky was about to dawn, Shen Yi, who was beaten until he passed out, slowly opened his eyes.

After opening his eyes, the sharp pain in his back and butt came again.

"hiss…"

He took a deep breath, his drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and he woke up.

Because of his back injury, he is now lying on the straw. After opening his eyes, he first looked left and right at this dark and damp cell with only faint lights.

A rotten stench filled the cell.

"No...not a dream."

Feeling the clear and incomparable pain in his body, Shen Yi took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

The memories of Shen Yi in Jiangdu Prefecture for nearly 16 years flashed in his mind one by one.

The ins and outs of being framed and thrown into the prison also flashed through Shen Yi's mind. He lay down on the straw, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, then opened his eyes again to make sure that he was still in this prison cell without dreaming. After that, Shen Yi, who looked like a young man, muttered in a low voice.

"Others have traveled over here. The worst thing about the original body is that he was frozen to death in the ruined temple. At any rate, he still has a free body. It's good for me, half of my life is gone..."

At this time, Shen Yi was still the student of Ganquan Academy on the surface, a handsome young man, but in fact, his soul had undergone earth-shaking changes.

A soul from the modern world wakes up in the body of this young man who was wronged and died tragically, and inherits all the memories of this young man.

"Fortunately, you have the same name and surname as me, so you don't need to change your name..."

Shen Yi whispered something to himself, and then laughed at himself in a low voice.

"Mostly, only people with the same name and surname can travel through time..."

Shen Yi, a local entrepreneur in a prefecture-level city in modern society, mainly manages supermarkets. There are seven or eight chain supermarkets of small or large in the local area, and he can be regarded as a small and successful boss.

It's a pity that his life is not very good, and he developed gastric cancer in the late stage when he was less than 30 years old. When he was discovered, he had already reached the point where he could only improve his quality of life.

Fortunately, he is not married yet and has no children to worry about.

After being diagnosed, Boss Shen sold his property and bid farewell to his family. He went to a deep mountain and built a wooden house.

Last night, the wind in the mountains was extremely strong, blowing the wooden house that he spent a lot of money to build and decorate, to the point where the wooden boards on the wall of the wooden house fell off and hit Shen Yi's back and buttocks, knocking him unconscious , When he woke up again, he woke up in the body of the young Shen Yi.

Although the process of being reincarnated as a human being was a bit frightening, after Shen Yi accepted all the memories of the other "Shen Yi", it took only half an hour to initially accept his current identity.

Anyway, because he was terminally ill, he had given all of the family fortune he had earned through hard work in another world to his family, and being able to live again, of course, was not a bad thing for him.

It's just that his current situation can be said to be extremely bad.

After gradually getting used to the sharp pain in his back, Shen Yi stood up tentatively. With his hands on the ground, he tried his best to get up from the ground. Just as he stood up, Shen Yi felt his knees go limp and fell to the ground again.

He took several deep breaths on the ground before holding onto the fence of the cell with both hands, and stood up with all his strength.

After standing up, Shen Yi looked around.

This is the county prison in Jiangdu County. There are about a hundred cells, and half of the cells are locked up. However, it is a little strange that the cells around Shen Yi are all empty, and there is no one there.

He seemed... to be isolated here deliberately by the people of the county government.

"should…"

After looking around under the dim light, Shen Yi murmured: "It should be because I was afraid that I would talk nonsense with the inmates next to me, so I simply left the cells around me empty..."

"It's a little troublesome."

Because of his butt injury, Shen Yi couldn't sit down at this time, even squatting was a bit difficult, so he could only lie down on the straw again, picked up a straw on the grass bed, and played with it in his hand.

"Now I have two ways. The first way is to spend time with them and not plead guilty."

Shen Yi closed his eyes, silently calculating his current situation in his heart.

Compared with Shen Yi, a young man who was at a loss for what to do, Shen Yi was naturally much calmer now. He needed to figure out his current situation as soon as possible, and then make a plan for the next step.

The first way is to carry it hard, as Shen Yi chose before, until his father returns from Jinling. It is best to carry it until his uncle knows about it and ask him to ask someone to help.

Because although the Shen family in Jiangdu is not a big family, they can be called a "gentry family" anyway. Of course, among the noble families, the Shen family can only be called a poor family.

Even a poor family is not comparable to ordinary people. Shen Yi's uncle, Shen Hui, is a county magistrate of Qipin, who is an official of the imperial court. He is also an official.

"The trouble with this road is that even if my father returns to Jiangdu, or if uncle asks someone to come to Jiangdu, it may not be able to help me get rid of the crime, and..."

Shen Yi lowered his head and fiddled with the straw in his hands, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "And with my current body, I have been tortured several times, and I will die if I don't die."

"As for the second way...is to confess."

In the court yesterday, the County Honorable Feng had already said that as long as he pleaded guilty, most likely he would not be sentenced to death, but would be sentenced to exile for three thousand miles.

Exile for three thousand miles is a great punishment for people in this era, but for Shen Yi, saving his life is the top priority now, and other things can be done slowly.

Moreover, according to "Shen Yi", the imperial court did have rules for lenient sentences for juvenile crimes, so County Magistrate Feng was not completely lying.

"wrong…"

Thinking of this, Shen Yi suddenly remembered something, he couldn't help shivering, and muttered softly.

"They must want me dead!"

"Even if they exile me, they will try their best to kill me. Only when I die can this case be completely closed, and no one will ever be able to reverse it."

Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help sweating on his forehead.

His current situation is too dangerous, and if he is a little careless, he will end up in doom.

While Shen Yi was thinking about things, unconsciously, the sky gradually brightened.

The door of the prison was slowly opened, and a few stretched and yawning county government officers stepped into the cell, and began to hand over shifts with the few officers who were on night shift yesterday.

Because he didn't understand the situation, Shen Yi could only lie on the straw and continue to pretend to be dead.

After a while, after the shifts were over, a smell of meat wafted into Shen Yi's nose. He pretended not to smell it, and continued to close his eyes and pretend to be dizzy.

Then, the voice of a middle-aged man came.

"Young Master Shen, Young Master Shen."

A clerk from the county prison squatted at the door of Shen Yi's cell with a delicate lunch box in his hand, with a smile on his face.

"Master Shen, someone brought you food, you can eat it while it's hot."

After saying this, he opened the lunch box, revealing a whole roast chicken in the lunch box.

"Someone is going to poison me!"

This was Shen Yi's first reaction.

At this moment, Shen Yi, who had just arrived here for a long time, only felt his scalp go numb. He closed his eyes tightly again, pretending not to hear, and dared not make any sound.
