Chapter 31
Prison visit from the Ministry of Punishment
"Calm yourself down and wait patiently. After all, the investigation of the case is the responsibility of the Criminal Department. If others interfere too much, it will not be good, especially if you are still the young master of the General's Mansion, understand!" Lin Shuran saw through this period of getting along with each other.
These children from the Xu family are more mature and sensitive than other children. Sometimes you have to treat them as children, sometimes you have to treat them as adults, treat them as your friends, and learn to stand in their shoes.
Be respected and understood.
Sure enough, Xu Minghao was not so excited after hearing what Lin Shuran said. He stood there silently with his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking. Neither Xu Junze nor Lin Shuran disturbed him.
When he raised his head again, his eyes became firm again and he looked at Xu Junze and Lin Shuran and said: "I believe that Xiao Huzi will not kill people. I must save him!" Then he took a deep breath and knelt down suddenly.
In front of Xu Junze, he begged again, "Father, please take me to see Xiao Huzi. Maybe I can ask some questions and help the Criminal Department solve the case as soon as possible!"
At this moment, Xu Minghao's eyes were bright and resolute, as if he had suddenly grown up and become wiser. Xu Junze did not speak, but slowly took a sip of the hot tea in the cup. Lin Shuran turned to look at him and said: "General, old man.
7. It is rare for him to treat his friends with such enthusiasm and sincerity. The fact that his children are young does not mean that the friendship between them is weak. Please ask the general to allow him to see the little tiger. If it is not convenient for the general to come forward, I will
Come and do it!”
Even death row inmates are allowed to have relatives and friends visit the prison. At the very least, it should not be difficult to give some money to the jailers of the Ministry of Punishments so that Xu Minghao and Xiao Huzi can meet.
Xu Junze did not answer. Just when Lin Shuran and Xu Minghao both thought he disagreed, he suddenly stood up and walked out, saying to Lin Shuran: "Since they leave it to you, you can take care of their affairs."
Just call the shots!”
This was a promise! Lin Shuran was happy, and Xu Minghao also had a smile on his face. He looked at Lin Shuran excitedly, with gratitude in his eyes.
Lin Shuran told Xu Minghao not to worry. She first asked people to go to the Criminal Department to inquire about how to visit the prisoner and see Xiao Huzi.
Xu Minghao happily agreed, as long as he could see Xiao Huzi first.
On the next day, Lin Shuran had someone prepare a carriage, a large food box and thicker clothes. Because she was worried, she decided to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to visit the prisoner with Xu Minghao.
After the carriage stopped, Lin Shuran stuffed the package of clothes into Xu Minghao's arms and said to him: "This is a set of thick clothes I prepared for Xiao Huzi. It is cold and cold in the prison. It is always better to wear more clothes."
OK."
Lin Shuran didn't want to have too much contact with Xiao Chen, because the memory of the original owner in her mind had always been vague. In the past, she could hide in the farm and use the excuse of being too sad to not have too much contact with the people and things Lin Shuran was familiar with, but now
When she returned to the city, the people Lin Shuran was familiar with frequently appeared in front of her again, and she tried her best not to let anyone notice her abnormality.
Sitting alone in a carriage with Lin Shuran, Xu Minghao still felt a little awkward. He remembered that when he and Lin Shuran first met, he tore her clothes. Later, he got into trouble one after another and burned the rice fields she carefully cultivated, but every time she
He's not really angry, but he always helps him clean up his mess when he gets into trouble.
But Xiao Chen grew up with Lin Shuran and was fond of her. He must know a lot about her. If he had too much contact with him, he might expose the secret.
Lin Shuran's words made Xiao Chen very disappointed. His intuition told him that she deliberately distanced themselves from each other in order to refuse to have anything to do with him anymore. In the past, she always called him "Brother Xiao", but now he is a stranger when they meet.
Call him "Master Xiao".
After Xu Minghao followed Chunxi and the jailer into the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Lin Shuran sat in the carriage and waited for them quietly. She did this today just because she didn't want Xu Minghao to regret it when he grew up. No matter whether Xiao Huzi killed someone or not, as a friend,
Xu Minghao has also done his best.
Although Xu Junze would help them deal with the mess after getting into trouble in the past, his method was completely different from Lin Shuran's. One was as simple and rough as thunder, while the other was as gentle and warm as spring breeze. The former made him feel like he was protected by a copper wall and no one could hurt him.
The latter made him soft and dependent. Perhaps this is the difference between the care of a father and a mother.
However, not long after, there were footsteps approaching the carriage. Lin Shuran, who had been dozing, suddenly opened her eyes and heard Xiao Chen's voice coming from outside the carriage: "Sister Shu Ran!"
His tone was affirmative, but Lin Shuran's eyes flashed with helplessness in the car. Xiao Chen was the Minister of the Criminal Department and also investigated murder cases. Naturally, there was something going on in the prison that he couldn't hide from him.
It is easier for people to misunderstand if they are avoided. Now Xiao Chen is a married man, and she is also someone else's wife. In this era of strict rules and feudal tradition, it is better to have some distance between the two.
Therefore, when Xiao Chen ordered the grooms of the General's Mansion to stay away, Lin Shuran stopped him: "Master Xiao, if you have anything to say, it's okay to just say it. There is nothing between you and me that you can't say to others.
."
After hearing Chun Xi's message that Lin Shuran was going to take him out today, Xu Minghao rushed out of the house like a wind. Xu Mingxuan also shouted to follow him, but this time Xu Minghao sternly refused and got on the carriage outside the door alone.
Xu Minghao held the package and looked at the food box again. His eyes suddenly turned red. He followed Chunxi out of the carriage. He just took two steps and quickly returned to the carriage. Then he shouted to the carriage: "Thank you, mother!"
Then he asked Chunxi to go down with him carrying a food box. In the food box was some food she had prepared for Little Huzi.
This was the first time that he sincerely called Lin Shuran "Mother" from the bottom of his heart, which also meant that he truly accepted Lin Shuran from this moment on. Lin Shuran in the car also showed understanding after hearing the word "Mother".
smile.
Soon the carriage arrived outside the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The jailer who often went to the Pyrotechnic Kitchen to eat roast chicken with sauce had been waiting outside.
Over the past year, he had been living in torment every day. Whenever he missed her, he would glance at her from a distance. The moment he agreed to marry Su Wanwan, he knew that he was no longer qualified for Lin Shuran.
"Sister Shu Ran, don't think too much. I have no other intentions. Even if you and I don't become husband and wife, we are still friends. I promised Jingcheng to take good care of you. If you need help in the future, please come to me."
When Chen faced Lin Shuran, his tone was always gentle. Perhaps in the name of "friend", he could stay by her side longer.
Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Lin Shuran thought that he might have figured it out now, so she replied with a smile in the carriage: "We have been friends since childhood, and Shu Ran has never forgotten this."
"That's good!" A helpless smile flashed across Xiao Chen's face. He was afraid that she wouldn't even want to be a "friend" with him.
Because he had official business, Xiao Chen left quickly. Lin Shuran never opened the curtain to meet him. Xiao Chen was a veteran in investigating cases despite his young age. He was not the real Lin Shuran. Faced with
There's no guarantee that he won't feel guilty, so it's better to see him less often.
