Chapter XIII: Prisoners

Shengge City is a county town that says big and small, because it is close to the imperial city, it is more prosperous and lively than many large capitals, among which the top is the green buildings and gambling houses that bloom all over the west of the county. How many dignitaries and talented people www.biquge.info linger here, spend a lot of money, and never think about it; and how many poor people sell their women here to beg for money, and sacrifice their families to get rich! Such a drunken county town and singing every night, but the scene in the east is completely different. Although there are a few gambling houses, most of them are vast fields and simple streets.

On the way from the east of the county to the west of the county, Xiao Baozi had long felt strange, but because he was angry with Xiao Xiao, he refused to ask her, so he got out of the carriage and inquired with the groom.

After hearing this, the groom laughed and said, "You just came here, of course, you don't know! This Shengge City, the east and west are in charge of two county orders separately, and it is not surprising that there are two scenes! ”

"Two?" Xiao Baozi secretly wondered, "Since ancient times, it has been a county and a county order, and I haven't heard that two county orders can be in office at the same time!" ”

"Who can guess the emperor's dragon heart!" The groom shook his head, "But it's also troublesome to have two county orders!" The west of the county is becoming more and more prosperous, and how many people in the east of the county are not greedy? They all lost their hoes, sold their cattle, and took their families to the west of the county to make a living, and the land in the east of the county was gradually deserted. ”

The little bun chatted with the groom for a few more words, and then went back to the carriage thoughtfully.

Xiao Xiao was napping, and when he saw Xiao Baozi coming in, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, so as not to be embarrassed to sit face-to-face and have nothing to say. Xiao Baozi thought that she was indeed asleep, and tiptoed to her original position, sat down and closed her eyes to recuperate. After a while, Xiao Baozi sighed lightly and said, "Lie down and sleep, be comfortable." ”

Xiao Xiao opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Baozi in embarrassment. Xiao Baozi pointed to his nose and said succinctly: "Breath." ”

Xiao Xiao was suddenly annoyed, so he had to lie down and sleep. Xiao Baozi's face was expressionless, and when Xiao Xiao lay down and couldn't see him, he showed a fleeting smile of remembrance.

All the way to the city gate, Xiao Baozi got out of the car first, and then habitually opened his hand to help Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao looked at the little bun and said, "No, I'll do it myself in the future." ”

"Hmm." The little bun withdrew his hand and turned to settle the bill with the groom.

The groom was a little surprised, and he didn't know what kind of conflict was going on between the master and servant. But when you collect money and do things, don't know what you shouldn't know.

After collecting the money, Ma Fu kindly mentioned: "I advise you not to stay at the city gate for too long, most of the people who come in and out of the imperial city are people with heads and faces, and you can't eat and walk around if you offend anyone!" ”

Xiao Xiao and Xiao Baozi thanked the groom, and the groom liked these two people from the bottom of his heart, so he took out a wooden sign and gave it to Xiao Baozi, and said: "Wei Chi, who guards the city gate, is my brother who worships the guard, if you want to check it when you are late, take out this wooden sign to show him, and he will accommodate you." ”

As he spoke, there was a lot of noise, and Xiao Xiao and his party saw that it was a few people who were carrying an unkempt prisoner walking towards this side. The groom hurriedly pulled the carriage aside to make way, while Xiao Xiao and Xiao Baozi stood aside, invariably examining the prisoner.

The gambling house in the west of the county town, as soon as they knew that there was a lively scene to see, they all pulled the girl to collect the money and rushed to the street or the stands to watch, and for a while it was crowded, and there were a few daredevils who wanted to squeeze forward to see, and almost bumped into Xiao Xiao. Xiao Baozi frowned, and Xiao Xiao said lightly when he saw this: "It's not in the way." ”

The little bun snorted sullenly again.

Looking back at the prisoner, his eyes were covered by his messy hair, which seemed to have not been taken care of for several years, and his face was also covered with beard, so that it was impossible to determine his age from his face. Looking down further, the fingernails of the shackles were pulled out, and the blood was unbearable to look at, and his excessively thin body was faintly revealed under the fat prison clothes......

Xiao Baozi stood in the crowd, as if dead, his face pale.

Xiao Xiao lowered his head trembling slightly, trying to pretend that nothing happened, but he still couldn't help but stay away from Xiao Baozi.

Xiao Baozi sensed Xiao Xiao's movements, and he was stunned for a moment, a little distracted.

I remembered that dream in the winter again. Xiao Xiao lay on his back and said sorry over and over again.

And he was articulate, but he would only clumsily persuade her to stop crying and comfort her that everything was over.

He thought he believed that everything was over, that his biggest wound had suppurated and scabbed, but he had never forgotten himself who was soaked in sewage like a human being.

"Miss, let's go, go outside the city gate." After Xiao Baozi finished speaking, he strode up first.

Xiao Xiao also returned to normal, put away the wooden sign given by the groom and followed behind Xiao Baozi, not wanting to look at the prisoner again.

The two of them left in a hurry, neither of them paying attention to the way the groom looked at them, which was a little more cold and profound.

----

"Hurry up!"

Xie cha impatiently shoved the prisoner, and the prisoner could not eat, and stumbled a few times before falling to his knees.

Out of the city gate, there were few people on the vast road, and the messengers had nothing to fear, eager to kill him as soon as possible and go back to his life.

"Just kill him, let's go to Nuanxianglou and hug the little beauty as soon as possible!"

One proposal, others responded.

One of them, who looked rather obscene, laughed a few times, walked up to the prisoner, pointed to his crotch and said, "Hear me, my brothers are going to kill you!" I am kind, if you get under my crotch, I will spare your life and let you go! ”

The other solvers laughed and applauded when they heard this.

The prisoner clenched his fists in humiliation, and said without humility or arrogance: "The sentence of the county decree is exile, if you want to kill me, you will not take the county decree in your eyes, and you will not take my Dayu law in your eyes!" I'd rather die than suffer the humiliation of this crotch! ”

Word by word, sonorous and powerful, the solution looked at each other a few times, and suddenly burst into laughter!

"Little San, he's a thief, and he's embarrassed to say these things! That cheek is thicker than yours! ”

Xiao San was the obscene solution, he kicked the prisoner hard, and sneered: "No, it's not just thicker than me, it's more than enough than this city wall!" Dare to move out of the prefectural magistrate and the law to scare us! ”

Kicking him didn't seem to be enough, pointing to the other two messengers who asked them to hold down the struggling prisoner, he unbuckled his belt and took off his pants to pee.

Xiao Baozi shook his head, moved behind Xiao San and stunted him with a palm, and then flipped to the other two to give a flying kick each. The prisoner watched in shock as he killed the three little buns that he didn't even bother to pull out the sword at his waist, and after coming back to his senses, he struggled to stand up and asked, "You, who are you?" ”

Xiao Baozi glanced at the prisoner coldly, and drew his sword with disgust on his face and pointed at the prisoner.
