Volume 2 Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 506 Death Row
"Liu Xiucai, you can't keep your voice down..." Qi Heizi complained, drank the gruel cleanly, then covered his ears and huddled up. *.*《》*
"Dang, dang, dang-" The scabbard hit the door rail, and a ferocious officer cursed angrily: "I haven't beheaded you yet, what are you talking about..."
Liu Xiucai couldn't help the timidity in his heart. He trembled with fright and hurriedly held his head, pretending to be obedient.
"Dong, dong, dong -" After a burst of hurried footsteps, four or five armed guards suddenly appeared in the yard. The leader had a face full of flesh, and he spat with the smell of alcohol, "Old man" Rules, one person and ten sticks!”
The door bars of the death cell were opened, and several wolf-like police officers rushed in with sticks and beat the three people holding their heads inside.
"Mother! I beat someone to death... oh..." Liu Xiucai cried miserably and howled in grief in the death row. Hearing it makes people tremble with fear. Tong Scaran and Qi Heizi gritted their teeth and groaned, enduring the pain of the sticks.
After the guards locked the door and left, the three people, covered in blood, lay on the cattail dumplings on the ground, moaning in low voices, mixed with quarrels.
"The stubborn Liu Coffin yelled for a stick, so you won't get beaten like this!" Tong Scaru hummed, not forgetting to curse. Liu Xiucai still had snot and tears on his face, and said with pride: "This means that a scholar can be killed but not humiliated! I would rather use a stick than let Xiaoxiao run rampant. This is the integrity of a scholar, and it is not something that a reckless person like you can do." Guess! Hey!" His smile was uglier than crying, and his teeth were grinning like a ghost!
Tong Scaru gritted his teeth and groaned: "With a stinky mouth like a bubble of urine, apart from farting, it also cries for father and calls for mother. What kind of bullshit etiquette is this? In fact, it is full of evil, damn it!" His curse was replaced by Qi Heizi came to echo and said, "Yes! I also got beaten, and I'm not unjust?"
"Go away, mother. Who here is not unjust?" Tong Scaru, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger, opened his mouth and scolded Qi Heizi back.
One is extremely vicious, and the other tolerates it; one is a villain, and the other is a fool! Liu Xiucai wiped away his tears, glanced at the two brothers and sisters, and felt an inexplicable joy in his heart. The stick wound on his butt made him grin and take a breath, but he smiled and said: "Qi Heizi just went to the city to sell some mountain goods, but he refused to benefit from the policemen patrolling the streets. He was caught inadvertently, and then You are unjust because you signed the confession in ignorance! But you are stupid and stupid, but you are framed like this, and you are not unjust either!"
Seeing the two barbarians blinking their eyes, as if they were listening to heavenly scriptures, Liu Xiucai shook his head disdainfully, but deliberately showed off, took a breath, and continued to give instructions: "Tong Scaru is a notorious villain for killing people and setting fires. No matter what the reason for being beheaded, it is not unjust... The person who is really wronged is none other than Mr. Liu..."
When his family was involved, he couldn't help but feel sad. Liu Xiucai lost his bearings and his voice turned sad, sighing: "I just drank the wine without bringing any money. Why should I, a scholar, be regarded as a villain? There are people inside and outside the county. There are several strange murder cases, and there is no way to find out the truth. How ridiculous is it for the county captain to blame us! He only waits for the judgment from the county to cut his neck with a steel knife, and there is only one way to die! Yeah! I still have my mother at home..."
At this time, night fell and the chill became intense. A bonfire was lit in the yard, illuminating the surrounding area. Several jailers leaned over the fire to warm themselves, and there was no one guarding the door of the death cell. Liu Xiucai was crying and complaining, which made Tong Scaru feel upset. He glanced back at the door. Under his disheveled hair, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"You damn willow coffin, don't cry at all times. It's called arty for adults to be prostitutes. If you, a poor scholar, want to live there, you can only insult your morals and surrender. What's more, The girl from the brothel you teased is the wife of the county captain. If he doesn’t deal with you, who will you deal with? But you are in trouble! But if you listen to me and be wiser... you may not have a way out..."
Tong Scar's voice became lower and more gloomy, as if he meant something. Before he finished speaking, he simply got into the grass dumplings and fell asleep. After a while, there was a snoring sound.
'Liu Coffin' is the nickname given by Tong Scaran, and 'Liu Xiucai' is the honorific title given by Qi Heizi. In fact, this is a down-and-out scholar who lives on a little blessing from his ancestors. And 'Tong Scar' is naturally also a nickname. This is a strong man who commits all kinds of evils, including murder and arson, and his reputation is far-reaching. He was captured unexpectedly, but he didn't care about it.
Perhaps it was because of Tong Scar's words just now that Liu Xiucai huddled in the cattail grass and blinked. Seeing Qi Heizi dazed, he moved over and whispered in a low voice, "Heizi, can't you sleep...?"
Sighing heavily, Qi Heizi said worriedly: "My mother-in-law is alone at home, how can she live..."
After several days of adversity together, we also knew a little bit about each other's conditions. Liu Xiucai showed a wretched look and said with a smile: "You have such a strong body and bones, why do you have no heirs until you get married? Is it because of your mother-in-law?" Who would have thought that Qi Heizi didn't like hearing this, so he glared and said: " What nonsense! My mother-in-law is late..."
Seeing that the other party didn't understand the mood, Liu Xiucai rolled his eyes helplessly and said hurriedly: "I know, you don't have money to marry a wife, you are old and have a family late... Aren't you just gossiping to relieve your boredom! I don't know how hard it is to endure the cold night! He pondered for a while and then asked: "Now that the matter has come to this, we can't escape death! Are you willing to do this..."
After sighing, there was no movement in the death row for a long time. After a long time, Qi Heizi's dull voice came: "Official law is like a furnace, what can we do? We can only blame our own miserable fate..."
Liu Xiucai shook his head secretly, did not respond, and tried his best to bury himself deep in the cattails. The uncontrollable coldness came, and he rolled his eyes while shivering, with a trace of inexplicable hope in his expression.
…
The cold wind and cold night in winter are the most difficult time for the poor people, but in the elegant room of a manor in Ji County, the charcoal fire is burning, warm as spring.
The old man that Lin Yi had seen was about forty or fifty years old, with a medium build, but he had a temperament that was very different from ordinary people. However, facing the diligent service of the maids on both sides, his eyebrows were relaxed, and his expression was full of satisfaction. Opposite him sat a short and fat man in official uniform, with a flattering smile on his face. After raising his glass to toast, he said with a smile: "Haha! My concubine hasn't been happy for several years since she married, but after taking the immortal's elixir, she got pregnant the next month! Not only that, after taking the immortal's elixir, my bones and muscles have become stronger, and I hope to prolong my life! Cuihong, pour wine..."
The old man who called him the immortal shook his head rather reservedly, and smiled as a matter of course, saying: "This is a small trick, not worth mentioning! The county lieutenant comes to accompany me every day in his busy schedule, this... haha!" While speaking, a maid gently touched his shoulder, and he closed his eyes comfortably with a comfortable smile on his face.
Such a life is still good! Thinking back to the hard practice, not only did I not get immortality, but I also had to face many ups and downs, and I didn't know where I would be buried in the end. Now I have beautiful women and good wine to accompany me, and I am happy like a fairy, which is enough!
"Don't be so polite, Immortal! It is a great blessing for Jia to worship you!" The man called the county lieutenant hurriedly complimented him. He also signaled to another maid, who squatted down obediently and gently massaged the immortal's legs.
Seeing the immortal enjoying himself, the county lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that it was a blessing to meet such a real immortal! If he treated him well, he would live a long life and be promoted to a higher position in the near future.
