Ye Xiaotian hid Yang Lin's suicide note, walked out of the prison, bowed to several officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice waiting outside the prison door, and thanked respectfully: "Brothers, I'm sorry for your trouble." The officials nodded to him. head, and walked towards the prison.

Some prison guards who got the news rushed over, and as soon as the officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice left, the old cow who guarded the prison door came to Ye Xiaotian. Hastily called out: "Uncle Niu."

The old cow nodded, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "I heard about your family. My boy, you are a filial child, gentle and kind, filial to your parents, respecting your elders, everything is fine. It's time, my temper is a bit... Don't be a donkey."

Ye Xiaotian smiled like a shy big girl, she didn't look like a donkey at all.

The old cow continued to teach: "Of course, you are getting older now, and you haven't committed a crime for a long time, but going out is no better than being in our prison. You should be more careful when you are outside, and only talk a little bit when you meet people." , don’t throw all your heart away. Don’t be a donkey when something goes wrong, huh?”

Ye Xiaotian said politely: "Uncle Niu, you are right, Xiaotian will definitely not play donkey."

"Hmm, ummm."

Before the old cow could say "hmm", he was pushed aside by a group of guards in the No. 1 cell. Two tall guards put Ye Xiaotian's shoulders on the left and right, hugged him like a horse and walked out.

One of the jailers said: "Boss, it's nothing if you want to go far away, we brothers don't worry about it. With your kindness, you can fool others into thinking that you are doing it for their own good. How is that possible?" Being bullied…”

Ye Xiaotian feigned anger and said, "Nonsense! Am I that dark?"

All the jailers said in unison: "Black! It's really black! You can't see your fingers!"

Ye Xiaotian: "..."

A jailer said solemnly: "Boss, it is true that you are black when you are black, but it is also good when you get better. You are righteous and responsible, and our buddies admire you from the bottom of our hearts. Once you leave, the brothers all respect you." I'm very reluctant, let our brothers give you a farewell."

Ye Xiaotian was slightly moved in his heart. He stopped, turned to face the crowd, cupped his hands and said, "Brothers, I appreciate your kindness. Tomorrow, do today; today, do it right away. Since you want to leave, why bother to be mother-in-law? I will do it today." Leaving Beijing, I won’t drink the farewell wine, I’m waiting to drink the brothers’ wine.”

All the jailers knew that he was going to see the prison officer, and they had some matters to deal with. Seeing that he had already arranged the itinerary, but he didn't want to keep him anymore, they all stopped and said goodbye to Ye Xiaotian.

"Boss, have a good trip!"

"Boss, go early and come back early!"

The narrow-minded jailer conveniently stuffed a wooden stick into Ye Xiaotian's hand.

Ye Xiaotian asked in surprise, "This is?"

The jailer smiled and said, "Boss, if you can't get along outside, this stick can be used to beg for food and beat dogs."

All the jailers laughed, and Ye Xiaotian couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Fuck you! I, Ye Xiaotian, can be successful in the small world of the sky prison, and I can be as majestic in the big world. Just wait, it won't be a fight!" Great wealth, I, Ye Xiaotian, will not come back!"

"Good! Ambitious!"

"I want it, I want it!"

"Boss, we'll be waiting for you to return home!"

"What the boss said is that no matter where we go, the people in Prison No. 1 in Xuanzi are also capable people!"

Ye Xiaotian looked around at every familiar face, the smile on his face gradually faded away, after staring for a long time, Ye Xiaotian suddenly turned around, took a few steps, stopped slightly, raised his hand to the people behind him, and then clenched his fist into the air With one blow, he strode towards prison officer Liu Yong's signing room.

※※※

In the prison officer Liu Yong's signing room, Liu Siyu sat behind the case, frowning slightly, listening to Ye Xiaoan explain to him why he came. Ye Xiaoan was timid and honest, when he saw Liu Siju frowned slightly, full of official authority, he felt nervous, and felt that he was not angry enough, and he stammered even more, which made Liu Siju even more unhappy.

In fact, as long as the Ye family has a male to be the jailer, there is no requirement for anyone to be the guard. This kind of thing is not difficult, and Liu Sijian has no reason to object. It's just that Xiao'an is too dull, far less clever and alert than his brother Xiaotian, so Liu Siyu is very displeased.

Seeing Ye Xiaotian come in, Liu Siyu said unceremoniously to Ye Xiaoan: "You go out first, I have something to say to your brother."

"Ai!"

Ye Xiaoan smiled honestly, turned around and saw Ye Xiaotian, and smiled at his younger brother, with a look of gratitude and embarrassment, Ye Xiaotian patted his elder brother's shoulder affectionately, he was far less reserved than him in front of Si Prison Liu.

Ye Xiaoan walked out gently, and closed the door carefully.

As soon as the door was closed, Liu Siju frowned tightly, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Is your father confused? Xiao An is such an honest kid, and he won't suffer in this kind of place. What can he do?" ? Did your father force you to give up your seat? Tell me, I will make the decision for you."

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "Thank you for your love, my lord. This is Xiaotian's willingness. My lord, although my elder brother is honest and honest, he is not a good boss, but it is also because he is honest and responsible, so he will never do anything wrong. I will stab you for my lord Lou Zi.

From now on, please take care of my elder brother. If you take care of me, who would dare to bully him. As for the boy, after being taken care of by you for so many years, it is impossible for him to find food when he leaves the prison. One day, if the boy can make a name for himself, he will never forget your kindness. "

Liu Yong's face softened, and he said with a smile: "You are so eloquent! Since this is the case, it is not easy for me to be that villain. How about it, you can go out and see the world. I heard that the prison will be expanded next year. If there is a vacancy for a jailer, I will call you back again."

Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed when he heard that, is there no more way out now? He hastily bowed to thank him, and said: "The kindness that the adults have shown to the little ones is as great as a mountain, and the little ones will never forget!"

Liu Siyu laughed and said: "You are always well-behaved and clever. I will take advantage of you, so I am not willing to let you go. As long as you work hard with me, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Ye Xiaotian secretly slandered: "Following you, I don't see much benefit. As long as you can ask me for less filial piety, so as not to rob me of all the money I earn every month, then you will really treat me well."

Even though he thought so in his heart, he naturally didn't dare to show it on his face. Ye Xiaotian bowed his head and was thanking him, when the door suddenly slammed, a few officers in green clothes and caps barged in, obviously there were two people in front of him, but habitually looking around with his eyes sideways, he asked with his nostrils upturned: "Who is Liu Yong?"

Liu Siyu stood up slowly, hesitantly said: "I am the official, you are..."

At this time, another person walked in from behind the group of officers, Liu Siyu couldn't help being even more surprised when he saw that it was Luo Zhan, his immediate superior. Liu Siyu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Lord Luo, these people are..."

Luo Tilao said with a serious face: "Liu Yong, these are the officers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I have something to ask you for."

The leading officer raised his thumb and said arrogantly: "I'll be sent by the Grand Master of the Ministry to ask you to go and ask questions. Let's go!" Put the chain on Liu Yong's head with a "shock", dragged it up and left.

Liu Siyu said in a panic: "Where did this come from? Lord Luo, Lord Luo, why did the Metropolitan Procuratorate question me?"

An officer shouted impatiently: "Where is there so much nonsense, the little jailer actually disregarded the king's law, accepted bribes wantonly, and colluded with insiders and outsiders for criminals. You go. Go, go!"

Several officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate came and went in a hurry, and Liu Siyu was swept away like a gust of wind. Luo Tilao didn't seem to see such a person as Ye Xiaotian, and when Liu Siyu was taken away, he snorted coldly and went out to arrange someone to take over Liu Yong's position.

Ye Xiaotian stood there blankly, and after a while, a thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but "click": "Liu Siyu is my immediate boss, and just now he said he wanted me to follow him, but something happened right away. Could it be that Yang Shengun's bad luck curse and nightmare technique has taken effect? No, no, no, even if it does work, I haven't left Beijing yet, so naturally I can't talk about breaking my promise."

Ye Xiaotian thought over and over again, convinced that this matter had nothing to do with him, so he sighed softly, looked at the still door and shook the door slightly, feeling sad: "Liu Siyu, what a nice person he is, why? I was arrested, and what he promised me has not been done..."

※※※

Liu Siyu was arrested, and there was no way out of the sky. Ye Xiaotian could only put all his life's hopes on the five hundred taels of silver, and left Beijing with anxiety and hope.

He is like a little fish that has been swimming in a small sandy bay since he was born. From the size of a needle tip to the thickness of a little finger, he has always lived in that quiet water. He is familiar with every aquatic plant here. , every gravel, every stone.

But suddenly one day, the torrent of fate swept it all the way to the sea, so this little fish, with an inexplicable fear, began to explore the completely strange new world.

Ye Xiaotian's ability to adapt is undoubtedly very strong. On this journey south, he has been cautious and uneasy, and quickly adapted to the atmosphere of travel, and became more and more accustomed to the ever-changing environment around him.

It's just that the further south you go, the more the cultural customs, dialect and accent are very different from those in the north. If you are in a remote area, it is difficult to find people who can communicate in Mandarin, especially when asking for directions.

Fortunately, Xiaotian stayed at the best shops along the way at most, and when he needed to ask directions, he could find a bigger shop or someone like Muramasa Baozhang, who would understand after a long time.

Ye Xiaotian lived and slept in the open, and lived frugally. After two months, he finally arrived at the end of the world in his mind - Jingzhou Mansion on Huguang Road.

When he left the city of Beijing, he brought five hundred Wen coins with him, but now he only had more than twenty Wen coins in his pocket. All he brought was the fare for the outbound journey, not the money for the return journey. Now, there is a huge sum of five hundred taels of silver waiting for him to take it, isn't it
