73. Dali Temple

85_85279 Even though Dai Qin Yueniang spent a lot of money, I was still deprived of food the next day. The jailer who took the bribe was polite, "I can't help it, the order from above, I'll make you a better mattress when you go back, you can lie there and fall asleep if you're fine, and you won't be hungry when you fall asleep." ”

Rao was full of sorrow, and I couldn't help but laugh when I heard the words of the jailer, "Thank you." "This cell is already damp and cold, and if I cut off my food, it won't take three days, and I will start to get sick top-heavy in two days, and when the incompetent official comes back on the third day, he sees me wilting and looks very proud, "People are iron rice and steel, no matter how powerful your Jinyi Health Department is, you have to accompany someone to the execution, how can I be smart?" If you are hungry for a few days, even the gods will obey me. Why, have you thought about it, should you draw it yourself, or should I ask someone to help you draw it? ”

The seriously ill person can't get up, and the water and rice haven't been in for a few days, just looking up at the person who is coming, I am already out of breath, and I don't even have the strength to argue, where is the confidence to speak eloquently with him? He just glared at him fiercely and closed his eyes.

The man snorted coldly, "And pretend to be dead!" Drag me up! ”

Soon I felt my clothes being lifted, and my hair was being pulled, and I woke up in pain, and I clicked twice on the armpit points of the man who grabbed me, and the man immediately howled with weakness in both arms.

As soon as the official saw his subordinates like this, he first slapped him twice, "Incompetent!" Saying that he would come to keep me in person, I was annoyed that he was full of philistine, and I didn't want him to touch me, so I took out the knife he was wearing while he was bending over, quickly picked it up between his neck, and said coldly, "Get out of the way." ”

This person is also a straw bag, and the life of his family immediately softened, "Demon girl, how are you doing!" ”

"You're so annoyed, get out."

The official snorted, and was still about to play tricks with me, I had already stabbed his knife into his skin, and he thought I was going to take his life, so he screamed, "You will pay for my life by touching a cold hair of mine." ”

"I'm also a death sentence anyway, I'm not afraid to drag you to be buried alone."

When this man heard my words, he immediately understood his situation, "Don't come...... Other...... Don't come here......"

"Tell them to get out."

“…… Get out. The official hesitated, but still felt that his head was important, so the jailers retreated.

"Sit down." I pointed to the ground, and he sat down obediently, "You...... Don't do stupid things, kill me, your family will be burdened. ”

"My family is already dead." My barefoot posture of not being afraid to put on shoes frightened him, and I gradually felt his shoulders tremble in my hands. "Official, you and I have no grievances, I think you are also obedient to orders......"

"Yes, yes, yes!" He replied crunchedly.

"What about you, when you are on an errand for Hu's life, the most important thing is your own life. I asked you a few words, and you replied that I wouldn't run away, and I wouldn't do anything to you, I just thought of the underworld to be a ghost. ”

"I can understand, I can understand!"

I smiled, "It's best if the official can understand himself." I want to ask, does the official know who ordered me to be arrested? ”

"You were personally ordered to be arrested by Lord Shilang of the Criminal Department."

"What is the crime against me?"

"Framing Qing officials, abusing power, and abusing power for personal gain."

I sighed, "What a crime." The officers and soldiers who arrested me that day said that they had received a secret report, but they didn't know whose secret report they received? ”

This man's legs trembled, dodging, "Don't think you can go out to take revenge, you are also mixed in the officialdom, so there are countless people who have been killed by your peers, where can all the wronged debtors and owners take revenge, sometimes we have to accept our fate." ”

"I don't need you to persuade me, I understand this. So if you are dead, don't let your wives and concubines think about coming to me for revenge, just tell them that officialdom is common. ”

When the official heard my words, his face turned pale, and he shrank for a long time before he said, "If you kill me, I won't be able to escape." ”

I didn't expect him to have such a backbone, but I had to look impressed, "Why, who is so big, you don't dare to say it even if you don't want your life?" ”

"Woman, it's not that I don't sue you, I'm too young, and it's my third life to be able to judge a capable person like you, how can I know about the things above." This person didn't forget to pat me on the back when he came, I carefully observed his face, and it seemed that he really didn't know.

"It's okay, it's not interesting to embarrass you, I know that if I let you go now, you will get me right away, so let's just get it back first." As he said that, he moved the knife to his thigh, and his face turned white with fright, "The woman spares her life!" I'll immediately ask someone to bring soup and food, except for you who can't get out of this cell, I'll treat the rest well, don't kill me, I'm old and young......"

I've seen a lot of grass-like straw bales on the wall, with a train running in my mouth, and one second I can stab you twice in the back. If I let him go, he won't bring me food, let alone entertain me, and the only result is to send me to the tiger chair. Thinking of the three days of starvation, I shook my head, mercilessly plunged a knife into his thigh, and before he could scream, I covered his mouth, "Is this your biggest?" ”

He looked at me with wide eyes and nodded in horror.

"My aunt and grandmother are hungry, so I asked someone to bring me something to eat."

While eating the newly delivered rice, I stepped on the wound on the official's leg, and he broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to say anything. Several of the jailers outside looked at me on alert, as if they were looking at a monster, and when I finished eating, I finally had some strength, and my headache and brain fever were much better. I sat quietly, thinking about how to end it, and there was no way to think about it, so I could only shrug my shoulders to the people on the ground, "I don't want to let you out and let yourself suffer humiliation before you die, so let's do it, I don't have a few days to live, you will serve in this prison for a lifetime, and it is nothing to stay in this prison for a few days, just accompany me to the prison for a few days." How about pulling me out for execution, when I let you out? By the way, what's your name? ”

"Liu, Liu Fuquan."

"Master Liu, I have wronged you."

Liu Fuquan cried and mourned all day long, and was always wary of me, for fear that I would suddenly kill him, so it took two days to boil out his eye sockets, I asked for a rope from the jailer, tied him to the head of the bed, and he didn't dare to move, in this way, I and the jailer actually formed a confrontational shape, and it was funny to think about it. Finally keeping my food, I was very comforted that it was better to be a full ghost than to be a starving ghost.

But three days later, someone came. This man didn't look like a straw bag, so I brisked myself and got ready to deal with him. "Prisoner Helianyi, I heard that you kidnapped the prison officer as a hostage, are you guilty?"

"Guilty."

"Don't be ashamed, don't hurry up the cliff and get lost, let Master Liu go!"

"If you let him go, you won't give me food."

The person who came was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Liu Fuquan twice, Liu Fuquan's face was more ugly than crying, "She doesn't draw a charge, the villain wants to give her some color to see......"

"This official promises you that you will never be lynched in the future, and you let Master Liu go. If you are afraid that he will retaliate against you in the future, I can transfer him out of here. ”

I looked at the person with some surprise, he was only twenty-six or seventeen years old, he looked like a civil official, he seemed to be weak and weak, but he spoke quite boldly, "What kind of official are you, you have so much power?" ”

"It's useless for officials to be big or small, and it's your concern to be able to ensure that you're safe before you confess." He had a slick face.

I sneered, "This lord, I've seen a lot of officials, and I've seen the emperor's holy face a few times, so you don't have to perfunctory me with these words." I asked you about the size of your official rank, not to bully the weak and fear the hard, but to weigh whether your official position is worth keeping a promise for me, such as this dog official, he promised me to give me food every day, I absolutely can't believe it. ”

The visitor couldn't hold back and laughed, "Miss Helian is very witty. Under the surname Zhou, Zhou Zhiqing. ”

I was stunned, I heard that a few years ago, because of the Dali Temple Secretary Li Shilu bluntly advised Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not give Zhu Yuanzhang face in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, Li Shilu died on the spot because of offending Long Yan, Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not connect his family, but ordered a good life to be buried, and then promoted Zhou Zhiqing to trust Dali Temple, in order to increase the authority of Dali Temple, but also raised the official rank of Dali Temple from five to three. Sanpin is already a big official, I thought Zhou Zhiqing should be a mature and old person, but I didn't expect to be so young, I couldn't help asking, "Lord Zhou of Dali Temple?" ”

Zhou Zhiqing's face was the same, and he said lightly, "It's contemptible." ”

I laughed, "I think I'm just a deposed Jinyi Wei Baihu, and I actually provoked Dali Siqing to interrogate me personally, I really don't know what big and important case I have committed." ”

"What this official can be sure of at present is that you coerced the prison officer, and the other charges have not been interrogated, so you cannot be arbitrarily judged." Zhou Zhiqing's expression was frank, and he said to me with a slight smile, looking like a good temperament.

I smacked my lips, "Interesting." As he spoke, he pushed Liu Fuquan out. Liu Fuquan was stunned for a long time before he knew that he had regained his freedom, so he took out the key in a panic and ran out, until he locked me up again, and still didn't forget to turn around and spit two mouthfuls of saliva at me, "Stinky girl!" ”

"This official is here, do you want to interrogate?" Zhou Zhiqing glanced at Liu Fuquan lightly, Liu Fuquan didn't dare to say anything immediately, and after flattering and laughing, he limped away.

"I know that the imperial court is now running a brocade guard, but you can't kill it for no reason, you have to be famous, you give me a beautiful name, and I will admit it." I said indifferently to Zhou Zhiqing.

He had an interesting smile on his face, as if he were very innocent, "Oh, there is such a thing? I don't know yet, but if you have been wronged, you can appeal to this official. ”。
