Chapter 1: Prison Sentences
Da Feng Jingzhaofu, prison cell.
Xu Qi'an woke up in a ghostly manner, smelling the damp, putrid stench in the air, causing mild discomfort and stomach acid to turn over.
What is this overwhelming stench, the family Erha ran to the bed to shit again .... According to the degree of smokiness, I'm afraid it wasn't pooped on top of my head ....
Xu Qi'an family raised a dog, breed husky, commonly known as Erha.
The north drifted for ten years, alone, this person ah, lonely for a long time, will inevitably want to raise a dog in the solace and pastime .... Not physically.
Opened his eyes, looked around, Xu Qi'an confused for a moment.
Stone walls, three bowl-sized square windows, he was lying on a cold, tattered straw mat, the sunlight shone through the square windows on his chest, and dusty rice floated in the beams.
Where am I?
Xu Qi'an contemplated for a moment in a skeptic-like daze, and then he was really skeptical.
I traveled through ....
A frenzy of memories came rushing in, not giving him a chance to react at all, inserting themselves forcefully into his brain and flowing rapidly.
Xu Qi'an, the word Ning Banquet, a constable of the Changle County Office under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Prefecture of the Dafeng Dynasty. Monthly salary of two taels of silver and one stone of rice.
His father was an old pawn who died in the 'Battle of Shanhai' nineteen years ago, and subsequently, his mother also died due to illness ...... Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an was slightly relieved.
It was a well-known fact that people who lost both their parents were not simple.
"I didn't realize that after re-living, I still can't escape the fate of being a cop?" Xu Qi'an had some toothache.
In his previous life, he had graduated from the police academy and managed to enter the system, holding a golden rice bowl.
However, although Xu Qi'an had taken the path his parents had chosen for him, his heart was not in the profession of a servant of the people.
He likes to be unrestrained and free, and he likes to be intoxicated by paper and gold, and he likes Ji Xianlin's words in his diary: ---.
So he brazenly resigned and went into business.
"But why am I in prison?"
He struggled to digest the memories, and soon realized the situation he was in right now.
Xu Qi'an had been raised by his second uncle since he was a child, and was disliked by his aunt because he practiced martial arts all year round and had to eat more than a hundred taels of silver every year.
After cultivating to the peak of Essence Refining at the age of 18, he stagnated, and due to his aunt's pressure, he moved out of the Xu residence to live alone.
Through the relationship of his uncle, he mixed a constable s errand in the government office, and originally had a good day, who thought .....
Three days ago, that seventh-grade green-robed second uncle, who works in the Royal Sword Guards, escorted a batch of tax silver to the Ministry of Households, and on the way there was an accident, and the tax silver was lost.
The whole 150,000 taels of silver.
The court shook, the saint was furious, personally ordered, Xu Pingzhi in five days after beheading, the three relatives of the family, men were sent to the border, women sent to the Department of Education.
As Xu Pingzhi's nephew, he was relieved of his duties as a constable and sent to the capital prison.
Two days!
In two more days, he was going to be exiled to the miserable and desolate borderlands to spend the rest of his life in toil.
"The opening is hell mode ah ...." Xu Qi'an's spine chilled, and his heart followed suit.
This world was in a state ruled by a feudal dynasty with no human rights, and what was a borderland?
Desolate, with a harsh climate, most of the prisoners sent to the border would not survive more than ten years. And even more, before they even reached the borderlands, they died on the way due to various accidents and diseases.
Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an's scalp exploded with chills.
"System?"
After a moment of silence, Xu Qi'an's tentative voice resounded in the silent prison cell.
The system ignored him.
"System .... System father, come out." Xu Qi'an's voice was permeated with urgency.
There was silence.
There was no system, surprisingly there was no system!
This meant that there was almost no way for him to change the status quo, and in two days, he was going to be shackled and shackled and sent to the borderlands, and with his physique, he shouldn't die on the way.
But this is not a benefit, being squeezed for labor in a career of acting as a tool man and finally dying .....
It was horrible, horrible!
Xu Qi'an's beautiful fantasies about this matter of traveling through ancient times shattered like a bubble, and all that was left was anxiety and fear.
"I have to find a way to save myself, I can't just dog-tag like this."
Xu Qi'an paced around the small prison cell, like an ant on a hot pan, like a wild beast that had fallen into a trap, bitterly thinking of a solution.
I am the pinnacle of refining essence, and my physical quality is strong and scary ..... But in this world belongs to the unyielding silver, escaping from prison is impossible .....
Rely on clans and friends?
The Xu family is not a large clan, the clansmen are scattered all over the place, and the whole 150,000 taels of tax silver has been robbed, who dares to ask for mercy at this juncture?
According to the Laws of the Great Feng, one can be exempted from the death penalty by making up for one's mistakes!
Unless the silver is recovered ....
Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up violently, like a person on the verge of drowning grabbing a life-saving straw.
He was a serious graduate of the police academy, with a wealth of theoretical knowledge, clear logic, excellent reasoning skills, and had read countless cases.
Perhaps he could try to start with this aspect of solving the case, recovering the silver and taking credit for his crime.
But then, the light in his eyes dimmed.
If you want to solve a case, you first need to read the file and understand the details of the case. Only after that is to investigate and solve the case.
Now that he was deep in jail, he was screaming for his life, and he was sent to the border in two days!
Unsolved!
Xu Qi'an sat on his butt on the ground, his eyes lost in thought.
He had gotten drunk in a bar yesterday and woke up in prison, thinking that he might have died of alcohol poisoning before crossing over.
God rewarded the opportunity to cross over, not to let him live again, is it think he died too easy?
In ancient times, sentencing was a heavy punishment second only to the death penalty.
In his last life, although he was beaten by the society, at least in a peaceful world, you say how good it is to be born again, without saying a word, stole his parents' savings to buy a house.
Then cooperate with mom, the love of speculation in the old man's hands broken, so that he can not be a leek.
At this time, the end of the dark corridor came the sound of chains scratching, should be the door opened.
Following that came the sound of footsteps.
A jailer led a handsome scholar with a haggard appearance, stopping in front of Xu Qi'an's cell door.
The jailer glanced at the scholar, "Half a pillar of incense."
The scholar bowed towards the jailer, and after seeing the jailer off, he turned to face Xu Qi'an head-on.
The scholar wore a moonlight-white robe, his long black hair tied up in a jade hairpin, his appearance was very handsome, with sword brows and starry eyes, and thin lips.
Xu Qi'an's relevant memories of this person surfaced in his mind.
The second son of the Xu family, Xu New Year.
Second uncle's own son, Xu Qi'an's cousin, this year's fall exam successful.
Xu New Year calmly looked straight at him, "The soldier who escorted you to the frontier charged me three hundred taels, this is the only silver left in our family, you go at ease, there will be no accidents on the way."
"What about you?" Xu Qi'an ghostly uttered these words, he remembered that the original owner and this cousin did not have a good relationship.
Because of his aunt's distaste for him, the Xu family, with the exception of his second uncle, did not treat Xu Qi'an very well. At least the cousins wouldn't act too close to him.
On top of that, in the original owner's memories, this cousin was also a strong-mouthed king who was good at spitting fragrance.
Xu New Year impatiently said, ''I've been dismissed from the meritocracy, but I have the head teacher of the academy to protect me, so I don't need to be sent out. Just mind your own business. When you go to the frontier, curb your temper and live for a year is a year."
Xu Xinxin had studied at the prestigious White Deer Academy in Kyoto, and was quite highly regarded, and a newly minted lifer. Therefore, after his second uncle's accident, he was not imprisoned, but he was not allowed to leave Kyoto, and had been running from all sides for many days.
Xu Qi'an was silent, he did not think that Xu New Year would be better than himself, I am afraid that not only will he be dismissed, but he will also have to enter the untouchable status, his children and grandchildren will not be allowed to take the imperial examination, and will not be able to turn around.
And, two days later, the women of the Xu family will be sent to the Department of Education, and will be abused.
Xu New Year is a scholar, how can he still have the face to live in the capital? Perhaps being sent to the frontier was a better option.
Xu Qi'an's heart fluttered, lunging forward a few steps, his hands clasping the iron fence, "You want to kill yourself?!"
Uncontrollably, sadness welled up in his heart ..... I clearly don't even know him.
Xu New Year's expressionless face whisked his sleeve and said, "What does it have to do with you."
After a pause, his gaze shifted slightly down a few inches, not meeting his cousin's eyes, and his expression turned soft, "Live."
After saying that, he resolutely stepped away!
"Wait!" Xu Qi'an's hand reached out to the fence and grabbed his sleeve.
Xu New Year paused, looking at him in silence.
"Can you get the dossier? The dossier of the case of the missing tax silver."
