Chapter 661 (1/2)
Chen Jiabao, big beard and Xiao Song, were put in death row at the same time. However, what made the two people feel depressed was that they were also carried out from Zuichun building. How come boss Chen had wine and meat for every meal, so they could only eat Wowotou.
It was the familiar ”bang Dang” sound of the collision between the chain and the prison door. Several people raised their heads at the same time. Sure enough, this time it was sent to them again with two large, broken, coarse porcelain bowls, in which two nests lay dry.
Another look at Chen Jiabao's eyes turned red. Roared: ”I said you bastards look down on people. When I was outside, I went to the delicious restaurant for dinner without giving money. Why didn't you give us wine and meat?”
The jailer who delivered the meal knocked the prison door with the iron spoon in his hand: ”if you like to eat or not, you don't even have this. Chen Xianggong is different from you. His father gives our brothers a couple of silver or two a day. What about you?”
Hearing the speech, big beard and Xiao song suddenly wilted, like eggplant beaten by frost.
Chen Jiabao's eyes turned. After the jailer left, he tore off the two legs of his roast chicken through the prison door. After a lot of effort, it was handed to the next door.
”Brother Chen is still particular about it. I didn't expect your father to be so kind to you. Knowing that we were dying, he was willing to spend a lot of money to help you.”
The beard was gnawing at the drumstick and chattering. Anyway, one sentence will be less, and there will be no head at all.
Seeing that his mouth was full of oil and his beard was greasy, Xiao Song also forgot the fate of losing his head and began to eat it.
”Two brothers, there are no outsiders in this cell now. Why don't you tell your little brother what's going on?” Chen Jiabao handed over a bowl of wine and then began to ask.
”Hey, anyway, we are all people who want to walk the Naihe bridge together. I might as well tell you. This longevity cream was obtained from the Hu people in the northwest. It is said that it was developed by the new great wizard there. It was originally used as medicine to make people forget the pain temporarily, but it will be addictive if taken too much.”
Beard didn't wait for Chen Jiabao to continue asking. He was like pouring beans from a bamboo barrel. He said everything in the beep.
It turned out that he got this thing from the Hu people, because once people take it once, they will have a strong sense of dependence on it, so they can't stop falling.
No matter how expensive it is, as long as they can't stand it, they can't help buying it. Even some court officials, in order to get a little bit of longevity cream with the size of their fingernails, began to take bribes and bend the law, and did not hesitate to cooperate with the enemy and betray the country.
”Hey, it's actually all good calculations of the Hu people. I just want to make a small sum of money. I didn't expect to miss today.” Beard said with some regret.
Chen Jiabao asked, ”brother, how many times have you done this kind of business? Who have you sold Fushou ointment to?”
”The poor can't afford it. Of course, it's sold to the rich and officials. But those officials buy it through others. After all, this is prohibited by the law of the imperial court.”
Xiao Song said bitterly, ”don't mention it. I'm the most unlucky. This time, I've only made three deals and got more than 100 liang of silver in dividends. Unexpectedly, I fell into a fall. I pity my little daughter-in-law who just married back ~”
They didn't bother to pay attention to him crying there, but talked to themselves.
”Brother, my father will find a way to get me out. There may be room for us to ease up. After all, I didn't take the longevity cream at that time. At that time, I can say that I was deceived by you. But I won't do that, young brother. It's too ungrateful.”
