C169 There Was No Cure for It
Those were people who had spent silver. They were waiting for the people inside to arrange the time for them to meet with their relatives and friends.
Whoever came here was a stranger. They only cared about money.
But Xiao Yun was different.
He was familiar with all the people here!
Furthermore, those people were familiar with him!
Xiao Yun walked over and waved at them gently.
Immediately, a guard rushed over and rubbed his hands as he said flatteringly, ___." Aiyo, isn't this Young Master Xiao? Is it that immortal wind that brought you here? Does Young Master Xiao have any orders?"
Xiao Yun said with a smile," Is Wu Xi locked inside? Take me to see him."
"This..." The guard looked troubled.
The people in the Imperial Prison could be seen at any time?
First of all, the higher-ups had clearly stipulated that unless there was an official document, no one was allowed to visit here.
Secondly, this was a rule that determined who was the stronghold's silver. If this rule was broken, how would they explain it to those who spent money? How could they let those who came later continue to spend money?
A special opening was torn open, just like a dam collapsing. No one could stop it!
That was why he was in a difficult position.
Xiao Yun laughed. He suddenly stretched out his hand and touched the guard's body. With a hiss, a part of the guard's shirt was torn off.
"Young Master Xiao, this is..."
"I'll lend it to you. Hmm? Hurry up and bring it over! "
The guard felt helpless and could only reach out his hand with an aggrieved expression.
With a whoosh.
Xiao Yun merely raised his hand and a piece of flesh fell from the guard's fingertip. Blood gushed out.
"Aiya!"
The guard turned pale with fright, and wanted to dodge the pain.
However, Xiao Yun grabbed his palm and said, "Don't dodge. It wasn't easy for me to bleed. Don't waste my blood."
"Ah?"
The guard was dumbfounded.
Xiao Yun took his bleeding finger and drew a few words on the piece of cloth.
"Give me the money, one hundred taels, Xiao."
These few words were quite big and cost a lot of blood.
And this word... really did not dare to flatter him. Even though Xiao Yun had spent so much time to practice writing, he really did not have any talent in this area.
There was momentum and artistic conception, but it was not good to look at!
Shaking this piece of cloth, Xiao Yun threw it in front of the guard and said, "Leng family, Xiao family, or any other noble families, this piece of cloth will be exchanged for money."
Only now did the guard understand that Xiao Yun did not bring any money with him, but he did not want to break the rules of the Imperial Prison. That was why he had made an IOU.
However, he could not help but cry, "Young Master Xiao, we have pen and ink here!"
"Tsk, then why didn't you bring it over immediately?"
"You... You didn't ask for it either!"
"Cut the crap! Aren't blood books and blood books pious? When others see them, perhaps they will give more? "
" This... "
The guard didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
However, when he thought that there might really be more, he became happy again.
He also felt that his blood didn't flow in vain.
One hundred taels?
That was silver!
One tael of silver was the usual amount of money, a thousand taels of silver. One hundred taels of silver was one hundred thousand taels of silver! Wouldn't it be fun to spend it?
This was a huge sum!
The guard hurriedly led Xiao Yun to the door, while he himself ran over to talk to his colleagues for a while. He turned around and said, "Young Master Xiao, this Prime Minister Wu... Cough cough, Wu Xi is a wanted criminal of the Imperial Court. You can't talk for too long. "
"En? This young master has abided by your rules. You have to abide by this young master's rules as well."
"Uh..."
The few guards looked at each other and asked with bitter faces, "That... Young Master Xiao's rules, what are they?"
"I don't need others to teach me how to do things!"
"Alright!"
The guard hurriedly nodded his head and did not dare to say anything else. He directly led him inside.
Wu Xi was really in a very miserable state right now.
Previously, before this, he was full, with a face full of flesh and an extraordinary bearing. But now? It was not much different from the beggars on the streets. Its hair was messy, its eyes were lifeless, and it was haggard to the point of making one's heart ache.
Of course, he was indeed not worth the heartache.
"Do you like money that much?"
Xiao Yun sat across from him outside the fence. This was the first thing he said.
Wu Xi raised his head and looked at Xiao Yun in disbelief. He asked, "Don't you like it?"
"Yes."
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "But compared to it, I prefer something else!"
Seeing Wu Xi's puzzled look, Xiao Yun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Oh, I don't want to say that a gentleman loves money and takes it. He just wanted to say that, in fact, power is far more tempting than money. Do you think money can really buy power? What can be bought is still absolute power? If it can really be bought, what His Majesty needs to do should be to crazily forge money. Not better than anything? As for hearing that you made such a huge mistake, you were only imprisoned in the Imperial Prison. There's still no interrogation."
Wu Xi was stunned for a long time before he sighed and said, "But I can't help it. That money is right there. As long as I reach out my hand, or even just one sentence, they will all become mine! That is money! Real money and silver. The copper coin is right there. It can be piled up into a mountain! But I never thought that the people below would be so unreliable. If they were to take 10%, they would end up with this sum of money. They kept on drawing money, and it was only because there were too many of them that they were discovered. If I had been more careful at that time, they would have been more careful too. We wouldn't have been in trouble!"
The illness was beyond cure.
He was referring to this kind of person.
It was as if he was a gambler.
As long as he played one more round, he would definitely win. He would definitely win.
Was the heart of a gambler a fluke?
No!
Many people knew it clearly.
They knew that they were definitely finished. Sitting in that position was the same as walking towards death.
They used every means possible to get money, whatever familial love, what friendship, what shamelessness, they all became their bargaining chips.
And in the next moment, they would throw all the money on the gambling table!
They knew.
They were finished. There was no saving them. They were even waiting for death to arrive.
However, they couldn't help it!
They weren't afraid of death. What was there to be afraid of?
That's right, they weren't afraid of death, so how could they care about face and how others felt?
In his previous life, when he was very young, someone had told him that anyone who was involved in two things, regardless of their identity or relationship, couldn't be handed over!
He had to stay far away from them and think of them as smelly dogsh * t or deadly poison. He had to run as far as he could.
These two things, one was poison, and the other was gambling.
This Wu Xi in front of him could also be considered a gambling addict.
In a sense, he was the same as a gambling addict.
He could not control himself.
He knew that he would be caught sooner or later. He could already imagine his ending, but he couldn't help but think that since it wasn't this time, he would die in the future anyway, so he didn't need to care about dying.
This was human nature.
Some people said that humans always had a masochistic heart. For example, they were in a state of over-immersion in their emotions. Then they would do something to make themselves sad. For example, they would see a barb on their fingers. They knew that it would hurt a lot after they were pulled out, but they would still pull it out.
Another example would be when he liked to eat hard food. His gums clearly had a slight pain, but he could not control himself. He even felt very good.
He would only regret it when he truly started to feel pain. However, after he recovered, he would rush forward and take a bite.
That was how people were.
Xiao Yun himself was no exception.
The only thing he could do was to prevent himself from entering the wrong place and causing him to be eternally doomed.
He raised his head and looked at Wu Xi and said, "You are hopeless."
"I know."
Sure enough, Prime Minister Wu was not a stupid person.
Such a person was the most troublesome.
He knew what the consequences of what he did would be, but he just did it. Not even the nine bulls could pull him back.
"Then the money you stole, what are you planning to do with it?"
"Ah?"
This question stunned Wu Xi.
What was the use of money?
He used to think that he knew and used it very well.
But when others really asked, there was no answer for a moment.
That's right, what was the use of him being greedy for so much money?
But the final answer was with a bitter smile. He spread out his hands and said, "Anyway, I'll take it first."
