The master was quite surprised to see that he was a talented person and spoke elegantly, and couldn't help but "huh" and said, "If you have any grievances, you might as well say it clearly." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Although Xiao Er had a splitting headache and was nauseous and irritable, he still held back his breath and said: "The villain's surname is Ning, his two names are perfect, and his ancestor is the Mobei clan." This year, I went to the province to enter the lift, but unfortunately I fell into the first place, and I had to use up the entanglement, so I had to come to Xuan as a sojourner, do the cheap work of the running hall, and eat with a mouth. ”

The master's eyes lit up, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "It turns out that he is a poor talent, so it's okay!" So how do you steal your patron's money and end up in prison? ”

Ning Wujian said slowly: "Master Mingjian, the villain has also read the book of sages, no matter how bad he is, he will not do that rooster and mouse thief, stealing Yunyun, he is really framed." He paused, and then said, "If you come to steal, you must get all the stolen goods before you can be criminalized." It is really hard to be convincing to want to condemn me just by the words that Kelai Xuan made. ”

The master said coldly: "This is also reasonable, this New Year is approaching, and we don't want to cause more trouble." But for the sake of your case, let us go in and out, and mobilize the people. If you don't have fifty taels of silver, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out, this is called a bad fare! ”

Seeing Ning Wuji's face full of surprise, he said: "Originally, this rule was thirty taels, but this time the brothers are very busy, but they can add twenty taels more to convince this group of brothers!"

The master saw that even if this sour Xiucai was imprisoned, he might not have any oil and water to fish, so he simply asked him for fifty taels and sent him away. I think he can enter the provincial capital to take the test, and he should be able to raise a small amount of money of fifty taels.

Who knew that Ning Wuqian hurriedly said: "Fifty taels? I don't even have a penny! ”

When the master heard this, his face was even more like a layer of frost, and he walked out with a "hum", but he didn't even bother to say a word. Ning Wuqian hurriedly cried out for injustice, but the servants on both sides had already thrown him into the prison and followed him cleanly.

Ning Wuqian was thrown heavily in the prison, only to feel that the bones in his whole body were cracked, and he couldn't get up with a sigh, and after half an hour, he slowly got up from the ground.

The prison was filthy and full of and urine. Those servants were so lazy that they didn't even give a dung bucket urinal to them. Fortunately, in the harsh winter, although the stench was unbearable, it did not worsen.

Ning Wuqian was so cold that his whole body shivered, and he picked a clean corner and squatted down, he looked at the sky outside the small window, gray, not seeing any sunlight, only snowflakes were about to fall.

Ning Wuqian lowered his head and said in his heart: "Alas! Isn't it the day to deliver the stove? 'If the Jade Emperor asks about human affairs, articles in troubled times are not valuable', I have been cold for more than ten years, how could I have expected today's end. ”

The cold wind struck, and the wounds on his body were like pins and needles. Ning Wuqian tightened his clothes, but how could that thin shirt withstand the cold wind of the moon? What's more, the chill at this moment is even more than what you have suffered a thousand times. Ning Wuqian gritted his teeth, his eyes widened angrily, but tears fell down one by one.

For several days, no food was brought to the prison, and no one came to interrogate them. I think those officials only know that the fish and meat people go outside to spend all day drinking, and who will pay attention to him, and they forget that Ning Wuji, who is cold and hungry, squatting hard in the and urine on the ground.

After a few days, a jailer came over with a food basket, and in addition to the green vegetables and tofu, there was actually a fish. The jailer was an old man, and it was the first time Ning Wuqian had seen him.

The old jailer said, "This is my home."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) in the overnight dinner, leaving a fish for you, but you are also a scholar, you may not be able to bear this hardship. ”

Ning Wuqian was so hungry that he gulped down his food.

The old jailer said, "Eat slowly, don't choke!" Look at your beautiful eyebrows, how did you end up here? ”

Ning Wuqian put down his rice bowl, sighed, and saw that the old man's expression was gentle, not like the wolf-like appearance of others, so he said his feelings.

When the old jailer heard this, he lowered his heart and said in a low voice: "Our county lord is greedy for money and lustful, and I have seen you in an unjust prison like you many times. Here, a thousand taels of gold are exchanged for a death row prisoner, and a hundred taels of silver can be saved from adultery, looking at your situation, it will cost fifty taels of life-saving money. ”

Ning Wujian was sad and angry, and said loudly: "This group of shameless people, corrupt and pervert the law, is there any justice in this world?" ”

The old jailer hurriedly signaled for silence, and said in his heart: "Aren't you still in prison yourself?" What are you talking about? When the old jailer saw that he had finished eating, he bowed his head and put away the dishes and chopsticks, and hurried away.

A few days later, the jailer escorted a son in, and saw that he had clear eyebrows, did not know what crime he had committed, and was dressed in large silk brocade, which was very luxurious. I saw that he was also imprisoned, and he was just in the next room.

Ning Wuqian said in his heart: "This person seems to be a scholar, but I don't know what crime he has committed, could it be that he has also been framed?" ”

Early the next morning, the jailers came and escorted Ning Wujian and the son out, and it seemed that they were about to be tried in the court. Ning Wuqian remembered what the old jailer said, and was secretly sad in his heart, not knowing what the county master would do with him.

Walking to the hall, I saw a person who looked like him, holding a shocking wood, with a seven-grade black gauze hat on his head, which was intimidating, and he was the county master here. The officials on both sides escorted Ning Wujian and the boy to kneel down and listen to the interrogation.

Ning Wujian saw that the boy was dignified, kneeling beside him, but his expression was very awe-inspiring, and he seemed to have no fear, Ning Wujian couldn't help but secretly admire, and thought: "Seeing that he is so calm, he must have been wronged." ”

Seeing that the others were calm, he didn't want to show a frightened look, so he only gathered his mind and knelt quietly on the ground.

After the ascension ceremony, he heard the county magistrate knock on the hall wood and shouted: "Pass on the Jia family!" ”

Ning Wuqian listened to his tone fiercely, although he tried to calm down, he was still startled, and after a while, the officials on both sides brought an old woman in, and the old woman walked up and stumbled, about fifty or sixty years old, knelt down and said: "People's woman Jia, knock on the Qingtian master." He looked scared.

When the boy saw the old woman, his body trembled slightly, and he seemed to recognize her. Ning Wujian saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart: "This old woman doesn't know what she is doing, could it be that she came to sue this son?" ”

The county magistrate picked up the paper and said, "On the third day of the first month of last month, you witnessed a man molesting your wife, and even raped her, but is there such a thing?" ”

Jia Shi kowtowed and said: "Back to the master's words, the women don't dare to say anything, there is indeed such a thing." ”

The county magistrate snorted, and said: "This official has read your confession, since you have witnessed this adulterous and evil act, you must recognize the bandit, and the official now wants you to do a favor and recognize this bandit, you may be able to do it?" ”

Naja cried loudly and shouted, "That

The thief turned to ashes, and the women recognized him! ”

Ning Wuqian saw that she was extremely sad, and the man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes on the side was terrified, knowing that the old woman was here to confess the crime, and wanted to bring this place to others herself, but the intention was not to accompany the list, so he was relieved.

When the county magistrate saw the old woman's consent, he was very happy in his heart, and said: "Don't be angry, as long as you recognize the thief, this official can be the master of your family's mother, bring him to justice, and justice to Zhang Tianli." He stretched out his hand and pointed at Ning Wujian and the man of Nasven, and said, "There are two people kneeling here, you look at them carefully and point him out to me." ”

The old woman screamed, and ran towards the two of them, followed by a pair of wrinkled eyes, and looked at them carefully.

Ning Wujian was careless, but when she saw the old woman's strange eyes rolling, she only looked at herself, and she couldn't stop spinning up and down, Ning Wujian made her frightened, and she was secretly scared, thinking: "This old woman is not young, don't be dizzy and mistake me." "I was trembling for a while, but I was afraid that I would be mistaken for someone.

Just as he was worried, he suddenly saw the old woman stretch out her hand to herself and say, "He! That's him! This man raped my housewife that day, and his behavior was cruel and shameless, and I ask the adults to punish him severely and show her head to the public! ”

Ning Wujian was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, and exclaimed: "You... What nonsense are you talking about? Don't lie to the good guys! ”

The county magistrate slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Above the lobby, how dare you speak without permission!" Come on, give me a slap! ”

The official on the side came over and slapped Ning Wujian heavily. Ning Wuqian was in pain, his cheeks were high and swollen, and he couldn't say a word.

The county master pointed at Ning Wuqian and said, "Jia, you can see clearly, it's really this person, isn't it someone else?" ”

The old woman said sharply: "It is this person, you can't make a mistake, a month ago this person broke into the house, took a sharp knife to force my housewife, forced her to submit, this person looks like a gentleman, but in fact he is not as good as a beast!" I only need to look at this kind of person, and I will never forget it! ”

Ning Wujian was shocked and scared, he was still on an errand in Kelaixuan a month ago, when had he done such a ridiculous thing, and he shouted at the moment: "Wronged! Before he finished saying a word of injustice, he slapped him more than a dozen times and rolled down in the hall.

The county magistrate said loudly: "What a bold man, you are a traitor in this county, raping a people's girl, it is really a great crime, this official asks you, do you admit guilt?" ”

Ning Wuqian panicked in his heart and shouted: "Don't listen to that old woman's nonsense, my lord, the villain is innocent!" ”

The county magistrate ignored it and said to himself: "This person is stubborn, and when he goes to the court, he still doesn't know how to admit his guilt." Someone, I'm tortured, and I'll ask him to draw a charge for me later! ”

The official on the side grabbed Ning Wujian and said with a cruel smile: "Boy, you should confess quickly, draw a charge earlier, and save your flesh and skin suffering." ”

Seeing that the officials are all like jackals, tigers and leopards, Ning Wuqian is just a poor scholar, how can he not be afraid in his heart? He trembled, "I...

I haven't done half a bad thing, you...... But how do you want me to confess?

The official snorted and said, "You still dare to be hard-mouthed? Then dragged Ning Wuqian to the corner, picked up the whip and whipped it violently, the whip head was full of spikes, and the pain was unbearable after the whipping, and after a few snaps, Ning Wuji's body was covered with blood marks, and he almost fainted in pain.
