Lanke Chess Edge

Yanzhou Changyangfu Fucheng is a relatively large city in Yanzhou, with a permanent population of more than 100,000 people. In addition, it is close to the Tongtian River. It is a transit port city for the Dazhen Waterway. Most of the goods will rest here, and of course they will be sold into the city, so the degree of prosperity can be imagined.

Relying on the remote sensing of the chess pieces, Ji Yuan landed in a remote suburb outside the city of Changyang, turned from the small path into the main road, and could see carriages, horses and pedestrians coming and going, connecting the Changyang city in the distance. It used to be lively.

Ji Yuan was like an ordinary passer-by, walking on the road into the city, approaching Changyang Mansion with the flow of people, the closer he got to the gate of the city, the louder the surrounding sounds became, most of them came from the port not far away, it was bustling. , and even has a feeling that it is not inferior to the port outside Chunhui Mansion.

Arriving here, Ji Yuan's sensitivity to chess pieces has become much stronger. In fact, he wanted to go to Zhang Rui first, but on the way to Yanzhou, he calculated Wang Li's situation and found it interesting, and Zhang Rui seemed to be away from him. Wang Li is not far away, so let's take a look at Wang Li first.

Snowflakes began to fall in the sky of Changyang Mansion. Before Ji Yuan entered the city, a woman in white with a white oil-paper umbrella was walking towards the center of the city step by step. She was alone, as if she was incompatible with the bustling crowd around her. Her temperament made those around her not dare to look at her boldly for some reason.

When she reached a restaurant next to the yamen, the woman put away her umbrella and entered the building. Although it was almost time to eat, it was still a little while away. There were not many people eating and drinking in the lobby of the restaurant, and the new waiter saw the woman coming in, so he hurried over to say hello.

"Hey guest officer, how many of you, do you have an appointment?"

The woman in white looked at the waiter, without any expression on her face, she just said indifferently.

"I'm here to get the ordered food box."

When the shopkeeper saw the woman in white approaching, he saluted quickly and greeted her from afar.

"Miss Zhang, you are here. The meal has already been prepared, and it is heating up in the back kitchen. I will pack the basket for you!"

As he said that, the shopkeeper quickly ordered another waiter next to him to go to the back kitchen to get the food box.

The woman in white nodded towards the shopkeeper.

"It's time to work."

"Eh heh, what's your job, what's your job!"

The woman didn't go into the restaurant after she finished speaking, she just stood at the door and waited. Not long after, a waiter with a cloth scarf on his shoulders trotted over with a delicate food box, walked up to the woman in white and put his hands together. Pass it to her.

"Guest officer, your food box."

"Well, okay, thank you."

The woman in white took the food box, turned around and left the restaurant, opened the umbrella again, walked into the snowy street, and left towards the Yamen in the distance.

At first, when the waiter saw the woman leaving, he asked another waiter in a low voice.

"Brother Li, who was that woman just now, so stylish?"

"Who cares about her, a lady from a rich family!"

It was Zhang Rui who was walking in the snow with a food box. Of course, she did not go to the Yamen to report a case. She, a ghost, needs to report something. Instead, she turned to one side and passed a few checkpoints before arriving in Changyang. Outside the prison in Fucheng.

The jailer guarding the prison door seemed to know Zhang Rui, and when he saw her coming, he bowed his hands first.

"Miss Zhang, are you here again?"

"Well, I'm sorry, take me to see him."

"Yes, please come inside!"

The jailer led Zhang Rui to the prison. Although the prison was dirty and the slightly pungent smell was lingering, Zhang Rui didn't even frown.

"Little lady, what are you doing here in prison?"

"Hey, hey, is that a food box, give me a taste of the food inside?"

"Hahahaha, this watery girl, is the man in prison?"

"Speak, it's cold."

"Hahahahaha..."

Hearing the wanton teasing of some prisoners along the way, the jailer picked up his saber and hit the fences on both sides with the handle of the knife.

"Shut up! Shut up everyone! Tired of work? No more talking nonsense, brothers today will relax your muscles and bones!"

Even though the prisoners knew that the cold woman in white might have a background, they still dared to laugh loudly and said some obscene words, but the jailer, a sesame official, immediately fell silent as soon as he spoke. Are afraid.

Go to a fork in the depths of the prison, turn left and reach the end. From a distance, there are seven or eight jailers surrounded by a cell. Just seeing this scene, Zhang Rui couldn't help but smile, The jailer who happened to turn his head was stunned.

"Uh, Miss Zhang, the front is here."

As the jailer said, he stepped forward quickly, and could vaguely hear Wang Li's emotional voice.

"By the way, the Xue family still has some loyalty. I heard that Wang Yuanwai invited the great mage, and he wanted to get rid of the demon without asking indiscriminately. The Xue family felt the kindness of the past, and secretly ran to the riverside to report the news..."

The jailer came over to look around. Not only his colleagues, but also the prisoners in several nearby cells were all close to the fence, huddled in the closest position to the cell at the end, listening with relish, not making any noise, and very quiet.

"Boss, Miss Zhang is here."

Wang Li's voice of storytelling was interrupted by the jailer, and the seven or eight guards came back to their senses, and turned their heads to look at the way they came. A woman in white was slowly approaching with a food box.

"Hey, disappointment!"

"Yeah, it's the critical time!"

"that is!"

The cell boss slapped his subordinates left and right.

"What are you talking about, get up and go to work!"

"Go away, it's you!"

In the cell, Wang Li bowed his hands to a group of jailers who left with benches and benches.

"Everyone, go slowly. If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next chapter to break it down!"

"Pfft..."

Zhang Rui, who had already come close, finally couldn't help laughing out loud, the previous cold feeling disappeared immediately, but soon his face returned to cold and indifferent.

Wang Li lay on the fence and looked at the woman in white. His eyes quickly focused on the food box in her hand, scratching his head and saying.

"Are you here?"

The prison chief stood outside Wang Li's cell, took the key from his waist, unlocked the big lock of Wang Li's cell, pushed open the door himself, and said to the woman in white who had already arrived.

"Miss Zhang, please come in, I'll just wait outside."

"Well, thank you very much!"

Zhang Rui gave a blessing to the cell head, and then entered Wang Li's cell with the food box. The cell head and another jailer who brought someone were not only waiting outside, but also kept a little distance away, which was enough. private space.

Ever since Zhang Rui entered the cell, Wang Li has been staring at the food box, rubbing his hands and saying impatiently.

"What's delicious? It's almost Chinese New Year, so it's time to have a decent meal!"

Zhang Rui shook her head with a smile.

"Others are sluggish when they are in prison, but you are fine. You are refreshed. I don't think you need to wait for your release after serving your sentence. It's good to be locked up until you die of old age."

"This is impossible. I still have a lot of books that I haven't talked about outside! Hey, don't talk about it, eat, it's important to eat. Just now, I used too much force to talk about the book, and now I'm so hungry!"

Zhang Rui sighed, put the food box on the small table on the soil bed in the prison cell, opened the cover layer by layer, and suddenly a smell of food came to the nostrils.

"Gulu..."

Wang Li swallowed immediately, not only him, but also those in the opposite cell and the cell next door who smelled the fragrance were also swallowing.

After Zhang Rui put all the food on the table, Wang Li couldn't bear it any longer. He picked up the chopsticks and the rice bowl, took two mouthfuls of rice hard, then stretched out the chopsticks to pick up the meat and vegetables and stuffed them into his mouth. Chewing, which made him feel a strong sense of satisfaction and happiness.

"If you were willing, I could have secretly taken you out long ago. You can still live comfortably in another identity. Why suffer in this prison?"

Wang Li tried his best to chew the food in his mouth, swallowed it whole, lifted the spoon on one side and drank two mouthfuls of soup, and replied after heaving a sigh of relief.

"That can't be done. If I, Wang Lixing, don't change my name and surname, how can I live in secret? Besides, Yin Shangshu has already confessed, and they can't do anything to me. After a year, I will be released after serving my sentence. You Why bring this up now."

As he said that, Wang Li hurriedly ate food again, not letting his mouth stop. He didn't know if it was because the storyteller's mouth was specially practiced, so he ate so fast and in such a hurry that he didn't choke at all.

"Yo, Mr. Wang really has a backbone. I don't know who was beaten to pieces and imprisoned. When I met the little girl at night, I almost called my mother crying?"

The storyteller's face is specially trained, but even Wang Li, who is such an expert, can't help his face getting hot at this moment, and he hesitates.

"Then, wasn't he about to die then..."

"Pfft...uh ha ha ha ha ha..."

Zhang Rui was so amused by Wang Li's appearance that she burst into laughter, and after recovering a bit, she pointed at him with her slender fingers.

"You, you, you are not young anymore, you are out of shape! No wonder you have never been able to find a wife. If Mr. Ji sees you like this, maybe he will laugh at you!"

Wang Li chewed the rice in his mouth and sprayed finely crushed rice grains to answer.

"How do you know that Mr. Ji doesn't know? This is a test for me. Do you understand the test?"

Zhang Rui nimbly avoided the flying rice grains, grabbed Wang Li by the ear, and carried him back to the dining table.

"Eat yours!"

Wang Li was in pain and cried out in a low voice.

"Hey, hey, hiss... just lightly, I'm just a mortal, aunt!"

Zhang Rui let go of his hands angrily and laughingly, Wang Li rubbed his ears twice, and began to eat again.

After a meal was finished in such a cheerful atmosphere, Zhang Rui left with the food box again, while Wang Li sat down on the cell bed after eating and drinking, but looked in the direction of the cell door with a slightly disappointed expression.

After Zhang Rui left, the guards in the cell did not gather outside Wang Li's cell again, as if to give him enough rest.

In the corner of the hall where the guards rest in the front of the prison, the prison head is sitting at the table drinking wine and eating vegetables. After watching Zhang Rui leave, he thinks back to a note he got yesterday.

The content on the note was very simple, Wang Li was not allowed to leave the prison, but Wang Liming was about to be released after serving his sentence, the meaning of it could not be clearer to the cell boss.
