The door of the big cell opened, and a sour smell immediately hit his face. Wang Anran covered his nose, frowned, and thought to himself: "The smell is too strong, how can anyone live in it."
The prison head turned around, saw his expression, smiled slightly, and said: "It tastes quite strong, right? Our prison in Liangzhou is pretty good. If there are prisons elsewhere, they are all built underground, called dungeons. Don't If you don¡¯t care about the smell, just live for a day and you won¡¯t smell the stink anymore.¡±
Wang Anran smiled bitterly and said, "You must have been fainted by the smoke!"
"You're used to it." The cell leader led him inside and said, "I heard about your lawsuit. It's nothing. As soon as you go to court, you can go home, so you only need to suffer for a few days." .¡±
Wang Anran asked: "Is Mr. Biejia the one who is trying the case? When will he come back?"
The prison boss thought for a while and said: "I don't know, but Sir Donjia takes his official position very seriously. He has been away for a while. I estimate that he will be back within three to five days."
As soon as they entered the prison, all the prisoners in the prison threw themselves on the wooden fence and screamed through the wooden fence that they were wronged.
The cell leader yelled: "Shut up, everyone. Anyone who enters here and doesn't say that they are unjustly accused, and those who dare to say that they are not unjustly accused, will be taken out and beheaded!"
After finishing speaking, I felt something was wrong, so I quickly turned around and said, "Of course, Brother Wang is really unjust, and you are an exception." After a pause, he added: "There are also people who say they are not unjust, but no one dares to chop him. My head, even if I want to let him out, he won¡¯t!¡±
Wang Anran was surprised: "Is there still such a person? Who is it?"
The cell leader pointed to a cell in front and said, "That's Mr. Chai. You just want to live with him. Get along well with him!"
While talking, the two of them walked outside the cell. Wang Anran looked inside and saw that this cell was quite clean and tidy. It was not as dirty as other cells. There were couches inside, beddings on the couches, and even There is a low table and a stool. Sitting beside the table is an old man with a gray beard. He is neatly dressed and his hair is meticulously combed. He is writing something on the desk with a pen.
Hearing someone coming outside, the old man raised his head, glanced at the cell leader, and then at Wang Anran. He only glanced at each other before lowering his head to write again.
The cell leader smiled and said, "Mr. Chai, I was afraid that you would be bored by being alone with no one to talk to, so I specially found a companion for you." He opened the cell, let Wang Anran in, and then locked the cell. Go up to the wooden gate, turn around and leave.
Wang Anran stood at the door. Seeing that the old man was just writing and not paying attention to himself, he felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, walked to the couch and lay down on it. The old man ignored him, and he ignored him. Neither of them answered anything. who.
No one spoke in the cell. When night came, Feng brought food and asked the cell leader to bring it in. The cell leader accepted Feng's money and was naturally willing to do the work. He brought the food box in and gave it to Wang Anran and also to Wang Anran. The old man brought the meal, which was also in a food box. It seemed that it was sent by the old man's family.
Both food boxes were placed on the table. Wang Anran opened one, took a look at it, then pushed the food box to the old man and said, "Yours." He opened the other food box, looked at it, and said with a smile, "This one is yours." It's mine, I'm just saying, how could my parents have failed me, I don't even eat hardtack at home."
The old man glanced at Wang Anran, then at Wang Anran's food box. Finally, he made a sound, first hesitating, and then said: "What is this?"
Wang Anran said: "This is called fresh soup dumplings, they are very delicious." He took down a bamboo drawer and said: "This is called omelette rice, and the one below is stir-fried pork slices with vinegar and cabbage. They are all my favorites. My mother Afraid that I would be hungry, I actually made so much, ah, there is a bowl of egg drop soup at the bottom."
The old man opened his food box, which contained only two hard-tread pancakes, a small plate of minced meat, and a jug of wine. Unable to help but frown, the old man looked at Wang Anran's food box again.
When it comes to the old man's diet, not to mention in prison, even outside the prison, it cannot be considered bad. Let alone ordinary people, even petty officials cannot eat white flour cakes and minced meat every day, let alone There was also wine to drink. But if you compare it with Wang Anran's food, you can only say that comparing one person to another will lead to death, and comparing goods will have to be thrown away.
The old man asked: "Your diet is so exquisite. I think even the princes and nobles of Chang'an can't compare with you. I have never heard of such a wealthy person in Liangzhou City. What is your name and which family you belong to?" Origin?"
"My name is Wang Anran. I come from Chengguan Village. My family is not very wealthy, but I made a small fortune today, so I can eat something good." Wang Anran picked up a soup dumpling, took a small bite, and sucked out the contents. Fresh soup, praised: "The mutton and fish soup are really delicious, especially when eaten in prison, it is even more delicious."
He ate his own food, but did not invite the old man to eat with him. He waited for the old man to ask him.
The old man saw that he ate delicious food, even though he was a decent man.But he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Suddenly, the old man's face darkened and he said, "Looking at your luxurious life, your surname must be Wu, and you must be a relative of the emperor, right?"
Wang Anran shook his head and said, "Didn't I say my surname is Wang? There is no one named Wu among my relatives." He took a bite of the bun and said, "If I were a relative of the emperor, I could still come in here!" Chewing deliberately You have to speak loudly to covet this old man.
There was a hesitant expression on the old man's face, but seeing Wang Anran's mouth watering after eating, he immediately made up his mind and said, "It's better if you're not from the Wu clan!" He reached out and picked up the fresh soup dumplings from the food box. , just eat it.
Wang Anran said loudly: "You are a thief who accuses you of being a thief without telling me!"
The old man laughed, someone dared to drop his book bag with him, pretending to be knowledgeable with others, but you can't pretend to be knowledgeable with him, you are just looking for trouble, do you know who he is! He immediately replied: "Taking by force is called stealing. So what if I take what's yours? Do you want to hit me?"
Wang Anran shook his head and said, "I won't hit the old man!"
"Youyou dare to call me old man!" The old man said angrily: "Then you dare to scold me?"
"Didn't I already call you old man?" Wang Anran laughed.
The old man hissed. He was very sharp-tongued and the best at scolding in his life, but today he was choked by Wang Anran in just two words.
With a snort, he shouted: "Even the queen talks politely to me, how dare you be such a bastard! I don't care about others giving me gifts, but I took a bun from you, and you still dare to be verbose. You know me Who is it?"
Wang Anran said nonchalantly: "Whoever you love, I don't care who you are!" He pointed at the old man and glared: "Listen, don't get too close to me. I don't want to know who you are, and I'm warning you not to report yourself. Name, I didn¡¯t use provocation with you, you old prisoner!¡±
The old man was furious, jumped up from the bench, and said angrily: "You dare to call me old prisoner, who dares to arrest me in Liangzhou? Do you know how Jinniu, the governor of this state, won the Jinshi? It was the examination paper approved by me in the first place. He was selected A successful Jinshi, when he sees me, he respectfully calls me "Master", how dare he arrest me!"
"Look at you, you are quite old and you are still so irritable. You must be well-educated and a polite gentleman. Well, old gentleman!" Wang Anran waved to him and said seriously: "Don't be angry anymore. , sit down and eat steamed buns, be careful of burning your forehead!"
The old man took a few deep breaths. He felt that he was a little excited, which was too low, but this little bastard was also too annoying. However, he was angry but nothing happened to him. Wasn't he comparing himself to others?
Control your anger, you must control your anger!
The old man quickly regained his composure and sat down, but he didn't want to see Wang Anran's "You can't do it, I'm better than you" expression. He hummed: "Ignorant boy, how can you burn your forehead when eating buns!" He took one bite. Go down.
This is not how you eat soup dumplings. The old man was angry, so he bit down a little harder, and the soup in the dumplings spurted out, spraying onto his forehead and even his nose!
Wang Anran stopped pretending to be serious this time, pointed at the old man's forehead, laughed loudly, and said: "If you don't listen to me, you will suffer a lot. If you have the ability, it doesn't matter if you become a Jinshi. It's not just like burning your forehead!"
