Chapter 0329 - Death Row Prisoner
Everyone gathered together to discuss a solution.
In the end, Zhang Yifu proposed to hold a ring match, since the other party intends to find trouble for themselves, they will definitely participate in this ring match.
As Zhang Yifu expected, on the second day of the ring competition, a few people came to the ring to compete with Zhang Yifu's apprentices.
Seeing this, Zhang Yifu ended the day's competition early, and sent a few apprentices with good light skills to secretly follow behind these people and determine their foothold.
After Zhang Yifu inquired in many ways, he learned that the attacker was several apprentices from a newly opened martial arts team in the town, and the founder of this martial arts team was Long Ying, who called himself "the dragon and phoenix among people".
Zhang Yifu pondered for a while and decided to bring his disciples to visit in person. When he came to the door with a few clever and good kung fu disciples, he was stopped by the gatekeeper at the gate of Longying's mansion.
Zhang Yifu showed his identity and intention, the gatekeeper left a sentence of "you wait" and then closed the door, several people stood at the gate from the sunrise in the east and waited until the sun was three poles and no one came, Zhang Yifu also had some breathlessness.
The disciples knocked vigorously on the door, and saw the doorkeeper open the door and said, "What are you doing? Our head of the family is still sleeping, and we can't stand it after a while?"
As soon as Zhang Yifu heard this, he didn't get angry, how could anyone be so rude, the guests arrived but were still asleep in bed, he flicked his sleeves and took his disciples to leave.
As soon as everyone raised their feet, they heard the door squeak open, and the gatekeeper said, "We are invited!"
Zhang Yifu turned his head to stare at the doorkeeper, his eyes were on fire, he thought about it, and then followed the doorkeeper into the guest hall of the house and sat down.
Someone made them tea, and several people sat in the guest hall drinking tea and waiting for Long Ying to appear, how did they know that they waited from the sun to the sunset.
Zhang Yifu couldn't bear it no matter how good his temper was, he didn't call anyone, so he took his disciples and planned to leave Long Ying's house.
A few people had just walked to the gate, and several people rushed out from both sides and shouted, "Who dares to trespass into the mansion of Long Ying's hero?"
Zhang Yifu was also angry at this time: "What trespassing? I came to visit and make friends with good intentions, but I was so insulted by the surname Long, what do you mean by this? If you want to beat me, you are not afraid!"
One of the people led by the other party laughed "haha", "Since you are here to fight, then don't blame us for being polite!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people on both sides fought together, and after a long fight, before the winner could be decided, he saw the gate open, and a group of officers and soldiers ran in from outside, surrounding the people who were fighting.
As soon as Zhang Yifu saw the officers and soldiers coming, he shouted to his disciples to stop, and the other party also stopped.
The two sides insisted on their own words, Zhang Yifu said that he came to visit Long Ying, but he was teased by Long Ying for a day, and he has not even seen anyone until now.
The other party said that there was no such thing at all, Long Ying was not in the house at all today, and when they came back from practice, they found that this group of people appeared in the courtyard and didn't know what was going on, so everyone fought.
The disciples brought by Zhang Yifu are gone, obviously it was you who watched the door and said that Long Ying slept until noon, and then brought us in, why do you say that Long Ying is not there now?
The other party immediately brought in the gatekeeper, and Zhang Yifu and the disciples saw that this person and the person who helped them open the door were not the same person at all.
"This person is not the one who guarded the door this morning!" Zhang Yifu's disciple immediately asked.
One of the leaders of the other party said: "Long Jiu has always been our gatekeeper, and there is no one else except him!"
Zhang Yifu knew that he was afraid that he would be put on a show by the other party today, and now he saw how the county magistrate was sentenced, so he didn't struggle, and followed the officers and soldiers back to the county office.
Since the other party had the intention to put himself along, how could he let Zhang Yifu retreat with his whole body? In the end, Zhang Yifu was slapped with 20 boards and released by the county officials on the charge of trespassing on people's houses with bad intentions.
Zhang Yifu had this nest in his heart, but many of his disciples changed to join Long Ying after seeing that the master had lost power. He lay in bed for several days before recovering.
After recovering, when he was thinking about how to take revenge, he was taken to the county government again by the officers and soldiers, and this time he was arrested because someone reported that he set fire to Long Ying's house, causing one death and six injuries, so he was taken to the county government for questioning.
Zhang Yifu felt strange, how could he have the energy to set fire after lying in bed for so many days?
He felt that this matter was completely false, maybe it was just a misunderstanding, and after the misunderstanding was clarified, he should be able to go back.
turned out to be completely unexpected, he had an apprentice named Zhao Yuan, who personally identified the person who set the fire in the hall as himself. This made Zhang Yifu have no way to argue.
Although Zhang Yifu's wife testified that he had been sick in bed, his wife's testimony was definitely not as strong as his own apprentice, after all, his wife would definitely help him.
Later, he asked his neighbor to testify, but the neighbor can't see if you go out every night!
Therefore, Zhang Yifu is now hard to argue, and he is unjustly imprisoned alive, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded.
During the time that Zhang Yifu was in prison, his wife has been very diligent, and has been helping him to collect everything, up and down, so that Zhang Yifu's life in prison is not so hard.
Zhang Yifu couldn't bear to die unjustly like this, and kept asking his wife to help him appeal, and later the family's money was almost spent, but there was still no progress in the case.
Once when his wife came to see him, her eyes were red, Zhang Yifu couldn't ask the reason, and later learned from the jailer that the old mother had been ill since she learned that her son was in prison and had died.
After that, his wife came to see him less and less, and finally sent a letter and never appeared again, in which she said: The family is no longer a family, and you have to plan for the child. I have taken the child back to my parents' house, please don't worry about it.
Things have come to such a point, Zhang Yifu knows that he is bound to die, so he also accepts his fate, after all, he has no other way than to accept his fate now.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the execution was approaching, and the night before the execution, the prison brought him a good meal as usual.
