Chapter 141: Birds and Fish

Du Dian glanced at him, said nothing, and slowly got into the prison car.

The entire prison cart is made of steel and is extremely strong, even with his current strength, it is difficult to break it open.

Seeing that Du Dian didn't resist, the middle-aged man curled his lips, feeling a little bored, locked the prison cart, jumped to the front and sat down, and said to the young man in the same standard armor as the driver: "Let's go, wait for this kid to be sent over, there are He's fine."

"You're very scheming at a young age, you dare to hook up with a noble lady, and you don't even look at what you are."

"It's ridiculous to want to go to the sky in one step."

"It's cheaper for us. It's been a long time since there was something new, and the brothers are itchy."

"This kind of thin skin and tender meat is the most popular in it."

"It's still a baby, haha..."

The two chatted and laughed, drove away, and were escorted by four trial knights on both sides of the prison car.

Du Dian sat cross-legged in the prison cart, looking at the scenery along the way. After leaving the town, everyone entered the desolate radiation area, and they were occasionally attacked by beasts along the way, but they were all easily killed by the trial knights who escorted them along the way.

After passing the inspection of the border fortress, everyone entered the fortress and came to a remote wilderness, where a prison stood in the distance.

The carriage stopped in front of the prison, and the middle-aged man opened the cage and said, "Come down."

Du Di'an jumped off the prison car and said to him, "I want to appeal."

"You can only groan now." The middle-aged man sneered: "Do you think there is still a chance for your case to be heard in court? From the moment you arrived here, you are a mute, no one will hear your words, wait for it. After the notice of ruling, you will have no chance to turn around. If you want to blame it, you can only blame yourself for being a hunter and earning wealth for the consortium. Why not go to hook up with the noble lady and seek death? !"

Du Di'an's expression remained unchanged, staring at him coldly, and said, "Aren't you the warden?"

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Do you think that with me here, you still have a chance to see the warden complain? It's easy to cover up a little bastard with no identity or background. You are a mere apprentice priest. Do you really think I can save you?"

Du Dian took a deep breath, clenched his fingers, and said, "Thank you for your teaching." After that, he shot and punched him in the face.

With a bang, the middle-aged man fell backwards, his nose bone was broken and blood was flowing.

This sudden attack shocked everyone. No one expected that Du Dian would dare to attack the prison officer in front of the prison gate.

The middle-aged man fell to the ground, covered his face with one hand, desperately trying to stop the blood, looked at Du Dian angrily and frantically, his body trembled with anger, and screamed: "Kill him for me!!"

The surrounding judgement knights immediately pulled out their weapons, the standard judgement spear and judgement sword, and killed Du Dian.

However, Du Dian did not fight with them as they imagined, but... turned around and ran! While running, he shouted at the same time: "Murder, kill!!"

The sound came into the prison, and in a moment, many people in the prison castle rushed over.

"stop!"

The prison door was opened, and seven or eight people ran out. The head was a woman with glasses, with a beautiful and hot figure. Seeing Du Dian and the eight trial knights, they shouted angrily.

The eight trial knights stopped quickly and looked at each other.

Du Di'an immediately ran to the woman and said, "They charged black money to kill me, I want to appeal, are you the warden?"

The woman glanced at him, frowned slightly, and said, "I'm the secretary of the warden. If you want to appeal, I can help you apply. As for whether the above will approve it, I don't know."

Du Di'an was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, thank you."

The middle-aged man covered his nose and came over, his face was ugly, he looked at Du Dian with a wicked look, full of murderous intent and anger, and said to the woman: "Secretary Leya, this wicked kid will file a complaint first, he just wanted to sneak attack on me and run away. , attacked the prison officer,

The crime is one more class, and it should be put to death immediately! "

The woman's face sank, and she said, "Look at your embarrassed appearance, being beaten like this by a child is embarrassing. Also, you better pay attention to what you say, we are only responsible for detaining prisoners, and have no right to execute them. Don't talk nonsense and implicate the entire prison."

The middle-aged man knew that he had lost his words, his face changed, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes."

The woman turned her head to Du Di'an and said coldly: "And you, it's better to be honest when you enter the detention center. If something like this happens again, no matter what the reason, I will not forgive you lightly."

Du Dian nodded immediately, his attitude was very sincere.

Seeing his expression, the woman's expression softened slightly, and she said to the middle-aged man, "Send him in, but you don't have to be responsible for supervising him. I will arrange for someone else to come over." After speaking, she turned and left.

After she left, the middle-aged man turned his head, looked at Du Dian viciously, and said in a low voice: "Little devil, don't think your life can be stable, as long as I'm here, it will definitely make your life worse than death!"

Du Di'an said coldly, "Don't lead the way?"

The middle-aged man clenched his fists in anger, but he still held back and led the way.

...

On the top floor of the prison, in a luxurious office.

"Oh? This kid turns out to be a hunter." In front of the desk, a bald head sat on a chair, took the information from Secretary Leia in front of him and swept it, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Melon The hunter of the consortium would commit the crime of stealing? Interesting, interesting, and it was sent by the dog raised by the Mellon consortium, and the consortium wanted to cut down its own cash cow. This is the first time I have seen such a thing, you Tell the Mellon consortium about it immediately and see the reaction there."

Secretary Leia wondered: "Then what about the appeal?"

"If the Mellon consortium really wants to kill him, we will sell them a face and help them cover it up. Of course, the cost cannot be less, this is free extra money, how can it not be earned?" In the eyes of the bald middle-aged man With a smile, he said, "Furthermore, this matter is also beneficial to our consortium."

"I see." Secretary Leia nodded.

...

...

Du Dian sat in an independent guard cell and waited quietly.

"I don't know if the Mellon consortium will buy the warden after getting the news." He was a little worried, "We must find other ways to get out, as long as we can get the opportunity to appeal, we will have the opportunity to prove that I was wronged. "

"Unfortunately, no one out there bails me out, even with a little background."

"However, with a little background, it is estimated that it will collapse under the pressure of the Mellon consortium."

"I don't know if Aunt Jula and the others will be implicated by me."

"Damn!"

He was aggrieved, angry, and a little scared.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

No one gave him food or water for the past three days. He also understood that although another person was in charge of supervising him, most of that person was bought by the middle-aged man, and he was just a prisoner, maybe he only needed a silver coin , you can let one person hurt another stranger mercilessly.

However, what worries him most is that after three days, there is no movement outside.

"There should be no hope of appealing..." Du Di'an looked at the shimmering light outside the window, a little sad in his heart, but more of despair and anger, as well as a strong killing intent, "You can only escape from prison, otherwise, you will only be trapped alive. To die here, and to suffer humiliation."

"If you escape from prison, you will live in darkness for the rest of your life."

"In that case, I'll never see Aunt Jula and the others, nor Macon and the others, nor... see her!"

Du Di was sad in his heart, but his instinctive desire to survive still inspired his determination to live, and he began to seriously think about the method of escape.

In the blink of an eye, two more days passed.

On this day, the cage suddenly opened.

Du Dian, who was sleeping against the wall, opened his eyes slightly, and secretly said in his heart: "The opportunity has come." Just as killing intent appeared in his heart, suddenly, a familiar smell floated into his nose, which made him slightly startled.

"Dian!" At this moment, an unbelievable voice came, panicking: "You, how did you become like this?"

When Du Di'an heard the sound, his whole body shook violently, and he couldn't help but open his eyes wide to look, but saw Jenny in a snow-white dress, standing in front of the dark cage, with her slender fingers on the cage, following the dark and thick steel column. In sharp contrast.

Du Di'an's eyes widened, almost suspecting that he was too hungry, and hallucinations appeared in his nose and eyes. He couldn't help but said, "Jane, Jenny? You, why did you come here?"

"My father sent me here, did they abuse you?" Jenny said with red eyes.

Du Di'an hurriedly got up, grabbed her hand, and said excitedly, "Are you alright, did your father hurt you?"

Jenny was stunned for a moment, and immediately broke away from his hand, took a few steps back, wiped the tears from her eyes, bit her lower lip tightly, and said, "Don't say that to my father, he won't hurt me! I'll come Here, I just want to ask you, why, why are you going to steal?"

Du Di's heart was shocked, only to feel that the blood that had just boiled was suddenly cold again, and it was cold to the bottom of his heart, and the pain was like bone-chilling, he thought bitterly in his heart, yes, you are your father's precious daughter , of course he won't hurt you, so why should I worry?

He looked at the pure white girl, and said tactfully, "Do you think I would steal too?"

Jenny gritted her teeth and said, "The evidence is conclusive. In your safe, you found a piece of Milan's Longshan ruby. This is one of the three treasures of the Milan family. There is no second piece in the world. Why do you do this? ?"

Du Dian clenched the iron pillar of the cage, his body trembled, and said: "If I said, I don't know this Milan family at all, and I have never seen the ruby ​​you said, would you believe it?"

"Why do you still lie to me!" Tears welled up in Jenny's eyes, and said, "I have already inquired everywhere and know all the truth of the matter, why do you still want to lie to me now?!"

Du Di'an was full of bitterness and said: "I have never lied to you, all this was deliberately framed by your father in order to break up us, why don't you want to believe me? Don't you know me after getting along this year? character?"

Jenny squatted down in pain, and said, "I thought the same thing at first, but I asked the people in the Milan family that your lady from the Milan family invited you to visit their house two months ago. Later, they The Longshan ruby ​​was lost! At that time, I still thought that it was impossible for you to do such a thing, even if the Longshan ruby ​​was found in your safe, I still believed that someone else framed you!"

"But, but, Deacon Hollet of the courthouse personally handled the case. After several weeks of investigation, it was verified that it was indeed you who stole it!"

Du Dian was stunned, and suddenly realized that it was no wonder that without interrogating himself, an arrest order could be issued on it. It turned out that the deacon-level priest accepted the case and had already investigated it!

However, he knew very well that he had never seen that lady of the Milan family at all, and all of this was nothing but a false accusation!

"This deacon priest should also be bought by your father." Du Di'an said gloomily.

Jenny raised her head angrily and said, "You are not allowed to talk about my father again!"

Du Di's heart was blocked, tears almost fell, and he said bitterly: "Do you believe in your father so much?"

Jenny gritted her teeth slightly and said, "It's not that I believe it, but you really did it. You may not understand that although our Bron family is huge, it is absolutely impossible to buy a deacon of the trial house! Priests are very noble and pure, and they cannot be fooled by money! Moreover, this deacon has never been in contact with our family, so he has no reason to slander you!"

Du Di'an said sternly: "No one is not tempted by money, even the priests of the Tribunal are no exception, even the Bright Knights of the Holy See."

Jenny looked up at him, and suddenly wiped away her tears, her expression slowly calmed down, and said, "Because you are a thief, and you love money yourself, so you think that everyone is like this. The book says that despicable people In the eyes of the noble, all are despicable, and in the eyes of the noble, all are noble."

Du Di'an held Tie Zhu tightly and said abruptly, "If you no longer believe me, why are you here again?"

Jenny trembled, her eyes flushed, and said, "I just want to see you admit it, as long as you admit it, I don't care about it, I'll still be with you, I can forgive you for your crime, but you're still obsessed with it. You also tried to frame my father and even slandered the priest to cover up your own crimes, I'm really disappointed with you..."

"Disappointed?" Du Di'an laughed, but tears fell down his eyes, "You would rather believe the words of an outsider, a deacon of a courthouse, than believe me, you are right, I am guilty, my sin is mine Too stupid and naive to think that we can break the shackles of love between nobles and commoners! My sin is that I am too self-sufficient, thinking that you can follow me to the ends of the earth!"

"However, birds and fish, even if they love each other, can't be together after all!"

With a creak, suddenly, the door of the cage was pushed open, and a stalwart middle-aged man stepped in, with extraordinary temperament, full of majesty, and said to Jenny, "Child, it's time to go back."

Du Dian raised his head and looked at the man who planned it with resentment in his eyes, and said: "If you want to break up us, why not be open and aboveboard, you can make demands and goals for me, and if I can't do it, I will leave voluntarily. , why, why do you use such despicable means?!!"

"Enough!" Jenny interrupted Du Di'an, looked at him in pain, and said, "Why don't you admit your mistake? Until now, you are still blaming my father! If a person is innocent, who can wrong you Could it be that the entire consortium is wronging you? I asked, your magic mark ability is your sense of smell, right?"

Du Dian looked at her blankly.

"When you first met, did you know my identity? You used your sense of smell to deliberately arrange coincidences again and again, like in the troubadour's story, to create scenes of chance encounters, just to get close to me, right? He sent me back in the rainy night, and later accompanied me to participate in the priest assessment, and then came over again and again, deliberately accompanied me, and approached me..."

Jenny said, tears rolled down her eyes, "Even if I know this, I still like you so much, the tone of your voice, the maturity of your words, I know, these can't be faked, but why, why do you Just refuse to admit mistakes? Why do you want to be a thief?!"

When Du Di'an heard her words, he felt as if his heart was pierced by a dagger again and again, and the pain seemed to be suffocating.

He suddenly understood that when a person doesn't trust you, all your explanations are lies! All sincerity is false!

No matter how hard you try, you can't get unconditional trust, just once!

Is this love?

He looked at her and suddenly wanted to laugh.

For you, I am willing to give up everything, even my own ideals!

For you, I even gave up myself, willing to live the life you like.

Because of your father's calculations, I almost lost my life on this hunt!

However, all of this did not lead to a good end. Instead, he became a despicable person, a dirty thief!

He felt ridiculous.

How ignorant, should have understood long ago, there will be no good results.

It's ridiculous, but he holds hope, a humble and pitiful hope, thinking that as long as we treat each other sincerely, we can overcome all difficulties.

Naive, in exchange for calculation.

Kindness, in exchange for frame-up.

He looked up and smiled, laughing so hard that he coughed.

The stalwart middle-aged man looked at Du Di'an indifferently and said gently to Jenny, "Let's go."

Jenny looked at Du Dian, who looked like a madman, and said hesitantly to the middle-aged man: "Father, will he be okay?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "It's just the crime of theft. Although the value of the theft is enough to sentence him to two hundred years in prison, I have spoken to the Milan family, and I will relieve him by using our family's interpersonal relationship. Help him reduce his sentence, and he will be released after three or five years at most, although this method is a bit illegal, but... I hope he can do it himself!"

Jenny breathed a sigh of relief, took a deep look at Du Di'an, her eyes reddened again, she held back her tears and turned to leave.

Du Di'an looked at the departing back, and instinctively wanted to reach out to keep it again, but raised his hand, but put it down again. He suddenly understood that once something is lost, it can never be recovered.

He was silent, standing in the cage.

Like a cold and hard rock, standing silently.

Two days later, someone came outside again. It was the middle-aged man who was injured by Du Dian before. His nose was wrapped with gauze. After pushing the door and entering, he saw Du Dian standing straight like a dead body, motionless, frightened. I had to jump, and then I found that Du Dian was not hanged, so I was relieved and snorted coldly: "Pretend to be a ghost, stinky boy, wake me up."

Du Di'an didn't respond and didn't hear it.

The middle-aged man sneered, shook out a parchment scroll from his arms, and said, "This is a notice from the trial, your verdict has come out, the crime of 'death with reprieve'! Sent to Thorns Flower Prison, five years later Execute the ruling!"

Du Dian, who had been standing still for two days, moved slightly, raised his head slowly, his eyes slowly swept across the sheepskin roll in his hand, and then moved to the middle-aged man's face, with a smile between his lips.

Seeing his smile, the smile on the middle-aged man's face suddenly disappeared, and he felt his cold hair stand up slightly.

In the 305th year of the Sylvia Jubi calendar, during the black snow season, the thirteen-year-old 'Du Dian' was escorted to the No. 1 criminal prison on the outer wall, the Thorns Flower Prison, and became the youngest criminal in the Thorns Flower Prison for 50 years!
