Yang Chengzi thought in his heart, impossible, if they could get out of this prison, wouldn't they have run early, and why did they take off their clothes, they were very thin, and if they could get out, they wouldn't be bad for a piece of clothing.

He didn't understand it, so he asked them to bring over the clothes, just an ordinary clothes, nothing special, with a few straws in the prison, which were common.

"What did he steal from the Yuan Mansion?"

"Master Yuan didn't say it, he was caught red-handed by a few people in their house at that time, and he didn't report the loss, so I didn't know what he was going to steal, and he didn't say anything when I asked him, looking at the poor and sour appearance, it should be a lack of silver, so I want to steal something for silver, it looks nothing special." ”

Yang Chengzi nodded, "There is nothing wrong in the cell, tell me how those two jailers died?"

His eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, and he looked like he was scared to death. ”

"Where were they when they died, in this cell?"

"No, they all died outside, one of them was in front of the cell, it seemed that they wanted to go over and have a look, and the other was the one last night, who died next to the table outside, and no one passed, so they died!" said Na Zhixian and became anxious again.

Yang Chengzi walked out of the cell and looked at the few prisoners scattered in the cells next to him, and asked puzzledly: "Just the dead jailer? Are these prisoners okay through a few wooden fences?"

"Just two jailers died, but fortunately these prisoners didn't die, if they really died inexplicably like this, wouldn't they have to put a lynching on my head and kill the prisoners!"

"It's strange, how could two jailers die? Where are their bodies? Take me to see them. ”

"Okay, okay, go this way, go this way. ”

The magistrate respectfully took Yang Chengzi to the place where the corpse was displayed, like a cellar, the place was quite large, and four or five corpses were lying on the straw mat one by one, and another straw mat was covered on it.

Walking up to the two jailers who were already dead, the magistrate stopped and lifted the straw mats.

"It's the two of them, one died one after the other, one the night before yesterday and the other last night. ”

"Aren't there four or five corpses?"

"Those few are not, one was killed by someone, stabbed to death by something, and the person who killed him has not been found, so he has been put here for the time being, and has not been sent to Yizhuang, and the other two don't seem to be locals, but they died in our town, so they were also brought over, waiting for an autopsy. ”

Yang Chengzi nodded, there was still blood stains on the straw mat on the first corpse, although the straw mat was not opened, but at first glance, it was killed, and it had nothing to do with the death of the two jailers, so he didn't care, he also thought that the fat head magistrate had concealed the number of dead people.

looked at the two jailers carefully, just like the magistrate said, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, as if he had seen a ghost, and he looked like he was scared to death.

But Yang Chengzi knew at a glance that the two of them had been drained of their souls, they had lost their souls and died, and they sensed the corpses with their hands, and there were still two souls and seven souls left in the three souls and seven souls, and the one that had just died had not been hooked, and there were still one soul and two souls left in the other body, and the other souls had entered the underworld.

If you lose your soul and die, you are either an evil master or a ghost.

There was no ghost in the cell, there was nothing, it should not be a ghost, but why did the sorcerer smoke the souls of the two jailers? There were many prisoners in the cell, and he didn't want it? Could there be anything special about these two jailers?

Thinking about it, he asked, "Show me the birthdays of the two jailers." ”

"Birthday? Oh oh oh hurry up quickly, go and find the booklet that the master remembered and let the Taoist chief read it, quick. ”

A catcher said yes and ran out, and after a while, he panted and handed a booklet to the magistrate, who squinted and turned a few pages.

"This, and this, this is the birth date of the two of them, and the Tao is long. ”

Yang Chengzi took the booklet in his hand and looked at it carefully, there was nothing special about the two birthdays, neither all yin nor all yang, extremely ordinary, and then their faces were not short-lived, they were indeed deaths.

This is strange, why did two jailers die? Wasn't it the sorcerer's doing?

I don't feel like there's anything ghostly, what the hell is going on?

Yang Chengzi twisted his brows and his thoughts danced, and he didn't speak for a while, and the magistrate could only be anxious when he looked at Yang Chengzi.

After a while, Yang Chengzi asked, "You haven't seen it with anyone else, why do you say that you can only ask me to see this?"

At this time, the magistrate was a little embarrassed, and replied embarrassedly: "I have found two people from the sect to see it, the day he died, as soon as we found out at dawn, we looked for them, but they couldn't see anything, so I came to ask the Taoist chief to you, if you can't see it, then our yamen will be finished, even if I don't die, this black yarn can't be saved!"

"Didn't they say anything?"

"No... What do you say? I shook around the prison inside and out, but I didn't even see the fart, and I wasted dozens of taels of silver. ”

The fat head magistrate is also a little angry, but there is no way who will let him beg for help.

"Did they really not see anything, or did you not give enough money and people didn't want to say it?"

"No, in the past, they were all looking for them, they just had to give the silver, they wouldn't be unwilling, and they really solved the case and found the murderer, and the yamen still had the follow-up silver, they wouldn't be able to get along with the silver. ”

Yang Chengzi shook his head and said, "I don't see anything either, they lost their souls and died, they are either evil magicians or ghosts that eat people's souls, didn't you say that you would hear the thief's shout? Who did you listen to when they both died?"

"The prisoner said that on the day the first jailer died, I interrogated the prisoner, and they said they heard his shouts, and they said the same when the second jailer died. ”

"How do they know it's the thief's shouts?

"It's different, it's different, other prisoners are all shouting, let me out, I'm wronged, he ...... He. ”

"What's he? Is it possible to beg for death?"

"Ah, the Taoist is really like a god, he really begs for death, back and forth with those three words, let me die, let me die, call their scalp numb, and only call at the hour, he doesn't call when the hour is not up, a call is to let me die, let me die, you say this......"

Yang Chengzi was stunned for a moment, he just followed the words of the magistrate, but he didn't expect that he really said it, how could it be to ask for death?

"You can't have lynched him before he begged for death, right?"

"No, what kind of lynching is used, he was caught red-handed, whether he is tried or not, it is 20 boards, 40 days in prison, what is there to use lynching.

Besides, Yuan Fu didn't care, and he didn't lose anything, so he hit 20 boards, and a big man was looking for death.

Which prisoner here is less beaten, then that and that two, one with sixty boards, the other with forty mouths, and with a clamp stick and thirty boards, none of them want to die or live, what about him? ”

"The 20th board doesn't seem to be enough. ”

"But isn't it, it hurts for sure, and it's inevitable that the butt will bloom, but he committed a crime, and that's how the punishment is written, and I also do things according to the rules, I'm wronged, ahhhh......h

Yang Chengzi frowned, and went back to look at the prison, there was only straw and a urine bucket all over the ground, and some remnants of the nest fell under the straw, and he saw it at a glance, although the fat head was so anxious, but he couldn't see it and couldn't help it.

I could only shake my head and say to him, "Isn't he going to shout and scream when the time comes, and I'll come back and see what I can see at that time." ”

As soon as the magistrate heard that Yang Chengzi was leaving, he grabbed Yang Chengzi's sleeve.

"Ah, Dao Chief, don't go, no one dares to stay here anymore, and those jailers are also the masters of life, they don't dare to guard this cell anymore." ”

"Won't it be over when you stay until the end of the day, and you are in charge of the yamen, they don't dare you to keep it, you don't want the black gauze hat?"

Zhixian touched the black gauze hat on his head, and looked crying.

"This, this..."

"If it's really a ghost, I'm a Taoist priest here, he doesn't have the courage to appear, and I still have something to do, I have to go back and think about it, and you don't have to come over, I'll come over myself." Without waiting for the magistrate to say anything, he went out of prison and went back.

The magistrate looked at the back of Yang Chengzi and left, he was both scared and helpless, he was right, he couldn't see the name now, he couldn't stay here all the time, he could come at night and already gave himself enough face, shook his head and returned to the yamen with a sad face.

When Yang Chengzi went back, he kept thinking about how the person didn't see him on the way, and when he arrived at Cuiwei Building, his heart was also much more relaxed, Sanyu and they should be fine.

Pushing open the door, the three of them looked at Yang Chengzi together, the hot meal on the table had just come up, Sanyu saw that Yang Chengzi was back, and happily ran over and grabbed Yang Chengzi's hand and let him take a seat.
