The playboys who were beaten up were thrown into the prison crying and crying. After a long time, they relieved the pain on their bodies and got up from the ground one after another. Smelling the smell of rottenness in the prison, several people complained one after another.

"Is this a place where people stay? What's the smell..."

"It's even smelly than where my tenant lives!"

"My uncle is the Minister of War. When I go out, I immediately wrote a letter to complain to my uncle and asked him to take off the black hat of the dog official!"

Listening to the complaints of several people, a disdainful laughter rang deep in the cell.

"Mr. I don't care whether it's a wolf or a dog. When I come into this Hangzhou Prison, I have to lie down honestly!"

Several people looked into the corner and saw an old man with gray hair and disheveled hair squatting in the corner of the wall, holding a cockroach in his hand, creaking into his mouth.

Li Xiuyuan retching and said with disgust: "Hey, it's so disgusting!"

The old man said with a look of enjoyment: "The taste of cockroaches and chickens is actually not much different. You will know after staying here for a long time."

A fat man next to him spat resentfully when he heard this: "Bao, old man, what are you talking nonsense, we can go out soon!"

The old man tsk twice and said with sympathy: "If you can go out, you won't be thrown into my cell. Don't dream in the daytime."

Li Xiuyuan immediately widened her eyes and looked at each other with several companions, and her face showed a look of fear.

After a while, he asked with a trembling voice: "Brother, you, how many years have you been locked up here?"

The old man looked at his young face and said with a sigh: "I was probably about the same age as you when I was locked up, but now my beard is white!"

Looking at the old man in front of him, Li Xiuyuan and others couldn't imagine what he would become after being locked up for so long. They were instantly panicked and grabbed the fence of the cell and screamed.

"Let me out, let me out!"

"Sir, please spare me! I know I'm wrong!"

"I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life, let me out..."

Amid the shouts of a group of people, the two yamen runners from the prison came over with wine and food, and said, "Don't call, it's time to have a meal!"

Seeing this, several people knew that Chen Mang would not be able to let them go out today. They went down honestly and took the wine and food from outside the prison door, complaining while eating.

"The food here is so bad, there is not even a bird's nest. Only servants eat this kind of thing in our house!"

"The wine is also light and tasteless, so it must be mixed with water."

Li Xiuyuan bit the chicken leg, and it really didn't taste at all. She threw the chicken leg towards the old man in the corner of the wall: "Brother-in-law, let me eat it for you!"

The old man was so scared that he quickly dodged away and shook his head like a rattle: "I advise you to eat a little more, this chicken is called the end of the chicken. After eating this chicken, your family should come to see you off."

Li Xiuyuan glared at him in an instant: "No, we will beat a yamen runner, he will kill us?"

The old man said mercifully: "Maybe it was to arrest you and take the blame. Maybe the children of powerful and high-ranking officials have committed crimes and will treat you as scapegoats."

"I don't want to die!"

The playboys were stunned for a moment, and somebody cried out, which caused a chain reaction in an instant, and the cell was filled with crying.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a long time, and suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted at the people: "Don't cry! Aren't the most prominent and powerful children in the city the only ones? Who dares to capture us as scapegoats!"

When he yelled, the few people suddenly woke up and glared at the old man!

Seeing that they had bad expressions, the old man looked like he was about to come and beat him up, and panickedly blocked his hand in front of him: "Everyone, if you have something to say, gentlemen will not act!"

At this time, a man dressed in a prison head walked over with the roster, asked someone to open the prison door, and said to the old man: "Zhuge Wolong, you can go out!"

The old man was slightly stunned and said in disbelief: "What did you say, I didn't hear clearly..."

The prison head said impatiently: "The new prefect is rehabilitating the injustice. You are on the list of pardons. Hurry up, I have to release others!"

The old man showed an incredible expression and rolled up several books in the draft pile, walking out the door as if he was a different life, muttering: "What a strange thing, is the world outside changing the world..."

Li Xiuyuan said anxiously: "Brother, when can we go out!"

The prison head smiled and looked at Li Xiuyuan and the others, and said warmly: "You guys are at ease. The master said, when will your family get 20,000 taels of silver be collected? When will you go out? Our master is the reincarnation of Wenquxing, and he speaks with words. There is food and drink here. You can live here with peace of mind!"

"Isn't it ten thousand taels? When did it become twenty thousand taels?"

Li Xiuyuan was slightly stunned, then her eyes twitched and gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know if he is Wenquxing, I only know that he treats us as the God of Wealth!"

On the other hand, Zhuge Wolong, who came out of the cell, was taken to a room to take a shower and change his clothes, dressed in a scholarly outfit, and was taken to the yard of the Houya.

When he entered the yard, he looked at the yard and saw a blue-faced yamen runner who was fetching water by the well. He occasionally peeked at the girl washing clothes beside him, and obviously he fell in love with someone else.

In the middle of the yard, a boy squatted on the ground, holding a chicken leg, teasing the white fox on the ground. There was a five or six-year-old child standing beside him, staring at his big watery eyes, and gnawing his fingers so greedy.

Seeing him walking in, the boy raised his face and said, "Zhuge Wolong, right? I have read the books you wrote, which are all-encompassing. You can see that you have good knowledge. From now on, you can stay in the government office and become a master."

Zhuge Wolong was stunned when he heard this, and then realized that the young man was the new prefect. Looking at his young and indifferent face, he bowed blankly and said, "Thank you, Master, for taking in it."

After arranging Zhuge Wolong, Chen Mang looked at the child beside him in a good mood and smiled and said, "Don't be greedy, there is no oil in your stomach, and you will be traumatized if you eat it."

The girl who was washing clothes raised her face and saw her brother's inability to look, she immediately glared at her eyes and scolded her: "Xu Xian, wipe her saliva quickly! Follow the adults in the future and study hard, don't always think about eating!"

Xu Xian was so scared that he shivered and quickly wiped away the saliva from the corner of his mouth. However, looking at the fox on the ground with his eyes squinting and gnawing on the chicken legs, his saliva soon flowed down unscrupulously.

Chen Mang smiled for a while, rubbed his head with a smile, and said, "From the master, you will be able to eat chicken legs."

After gnawing the chicken legs, the fox stood up and saw the cute Xu Xian rubbing his head against Chen Mang's hand. He immediately felt a huge sense of crisis.
