marquis of jingan

Chapter 3

At this time, naturally many people wanted Shen Yi to die.

After all, the Chen Qing who was beaten to death in Ganquan Academy this time, although his family background was average, he was only a middle-class family in Jiangdu City, but Chen Qing was quite famous in Jiangdu. Standing out at the poetry meeting, many people remembered the name of Chen Qing from Ganquan Academy.

Now that Chen Qing was beaten to death in the academy, it would have been fine if Jiangdu had left this matter behind. If it really got leaked out, it would not be something that Feng Lu, the county magistrate of Jiangdu, could handle.

Right now, for those officials and the parents of Fan Dongcheng and the other four, the best outcome is for Shen Yi to admit the matter, or let him simply die in prison and "suicide in fear of crime".

So at this time, even Shen Yi, who hadn't eaten well for several days, could only close his eyes tightly and dare not make a sound when facing the roast chicken that was close at hand.

But embarrassing things still happened.

"Gu..."

Because there was no oil or water these days, after smelling the smell of roasted chicken, Shen Yi's stomach growled in disappointment.

The man squatting at the door of his cell was a clerk in his 30s. He couldn't call Shen Yi at first, but he thought Shen Yi had fallen asleep. After hearing the grunt, the clerk smiled at Shen Yi in the cell, and said Said: "Mr. Shen, this is the food that the Miss Lu family entrusted someone to bring to you. No one will harm you."

Seeing that he couldn't pretend anymore, Shen Yi had no choice but to open his eyes. He first looked up at the jailer in front of him, then at the roast chicken in front of him, and subconsciously took a deep breath.

He recognized the "Miss Lu" that the yamen servant called.

To be exact, it turned out that Shen Yi knew him.

The Shanzhang of Ganquan Academy, or the dean’s surname is Lu, and his name is Lu Anshi. This Shanzhang Lu has an only daughter, who was brought by his side since childhood. She grew up in Ganquan Academy, and is called Lu Anshi by the students of Ganquan Academy. Miss, there are also thick-skinned ones, and when they see her, they call her Senior Sister or Junior Sister.

What is Miss Lu's boudoir name, basically no one in Ganquan Academy knows her name is Qingque. The call of the sparrow blue sparrow".

Up to now, Miss Lu is fifteen or sixteen years old, and she is slim and graceful, which naturally makes many students of Ganquan Academy fall in love with her, including Chen Qing, a student of Ganquan Academy who has died, and Shen Yi, who is in jail.

It was because they fell in love with Ms. Lu at the same time that the two young people who were so good that they almost wore a pair of trousers had some conflicts, and they also found Shen Yi's so-called "motive for murder" for Feng Xianzun.

Hearing Miss Lu's name, Shen Yi looked at the roast chicken in front of him, lowered his eyebrows slightly: "Brother, can you contact Miss Lu?"

At this time, he was in prison. Even if he was a different person in his body, he was no longer the helpless young man he used to be, but he couldn't get out of the prison, and he had nothing to do.

At this time, it is necessary to meet someone outside before it is possible to have an impact on the current situation through this person.

This Miss Lu is a very good candidate.

Ganquan Academy is the most famous academy in Jiangdu Prefecture. The dean, Lu Anshi, is a well-known Confucian in the whole south of the Yangtze River. The imperial court enlisted him to become an official several times, but was rejected by Mr. Lu, so he could only study in Ganquan Academy with peace of mind.

That is to say, Lu Anshi's social status is not low. In addition, Ganquan Academy has produced many scholars over the years. This Lu Shanzhang also has connections in the court. His status in Jiangdu Mansion far exceeds The county magistrate of Jiangdu County can even sit on an equal footing with the magistrate of Jiangdu Prefecture. If this Miss Lu can pull Lu Shanzhang into the arena, then County Magistrate Feng and the others will not dare to act recklessly like this.

The jailer looked at Shen Yi, then shook his head slightly, and said, "Mr. Shen, Miss Lu is outside now. She personally delivered this roast chicken, but the county lord does not allow anyone to come in to visit, so I let Xiao Someone will bring it to you."

Hearing these words, Shen Yi's heart sank.

If I remember correctly, when the case was tried in the lobby, only people from the county government were present, not only Fan Dongcheng and the other four people who beat him to death were also absent, not even the family members of the deceased Chen Qing were present. County magistrate Feng was asking questions alone, there was no plaintiff, only a private court that could almost be regarded as set up.

It seems that the people in the county government want to sit this matter to death in advance. After all the charges are settled, even if they turn back at that time, they will have no chance.

Shen Yi took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and kept telling himself to calm down.

After a long time, he looked at the roast chicken in front of him, then at the jailer in front of him, and sighed slightly: "Brother Cha, I'm really not in the mood to eat right now, so I'll give you this roast chicken." Go drink."

Hearing this, the jailer rolled his eyes, then bowed his head to Shen Yi and cupped his hands. He picked up the roast chicken with a smile on his face, and was about to take it to the side to eat. As soon as he turned around, Shen Yi in the cell spoke.

"Brother Cha, you can't eat this roast chicken for nothing."

The jailer turned around, looked at Shen Yi, who was described as a little embarrassed, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said, "Mr. Shen, if you need anything, I will try my best to get it for you, but it is absolutely impossible to see someone, the county lord." The master personally confessed that you are not allowed to see anyone."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't worry, I will naturally not make things difficult for you."

He waved at the jailer and motioned him to come closer. After the jailer approached, Shen Yi said in a low voice: "Brother Cha, you eat this chicken here. If anyone asks, you can say it is the Luyuan of Ganquan Academy." It was sent by the daughter of the eldest family."

"Even if no one asks, if you have nothing to do, you can still speak up. It's best to let the news spread throughout the county government, will it work?"

The jailer seemed to be in his thirties. He rolled his eyes, put the roast chicken back at the door of the cell, heheed a little embarrassedly, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Shen, although the villain is humble, he also knows There are some interests, your case involves too much, a roast chicken can't let the villain get involved with you."

Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said: "My father will send some money back from Jinling every year, and deposit it with my brother and sister-in-law. If the elder brother can help me, I will write you a note, and you take the note to me. Brother and sister-in-law receive five taels of silver, how about it?"

Seeing the jailer's hesitation, Shen Yi said again: "You are just passing on a message, this matter is not related to you in any case, if I can get out from here, and thank you again, how about it?"

The jailer looked at Shen Yi, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find some pens and ink for the young master."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother, let's wait a little later. It's broad daylight now, maybe there are people from the county government watching, and the county magistrate probably won't interrogate me today. When you come to look for me at night, I'll wait for you again." write you a note."

"If the magistrate finds out, you will inevitably be responsible."

The jailer nodded repeatedly and gave Shen Yi a thumbs up.

"Young master is still a careful scholar..."

After saying this, the jailer turned around and went to the side to eat the roast chicken.

It wasn't until the jailer left that Shen Yi returned to his bed and lay down on the grass. He muttered softly while fiddling with the straw in his hand.

"I hope... the name of Shanzhang Lu can make the county magistrate surnamed Feng feel scruples. I hope Miss Lu..."

Thinking of that Miss Lu, scenes of memories flashed in Shen Yi's mind.

If I remember correctly, "I"... wrote a love poem to this Miss Lu?
