Chapter 65: Imprisonment
Some officials poured in from the gate, and the diners slipped out one after another. After a while, it was just me and my guys left in the huge store.
"Who's the treasurer here? Some people went to the yamen to beat drums and complained, saying that someone here had been poisoned. The head catcher who walked in the front said.
I walked over and said, "I'm the boss here." The poison is not ours. ”
The head catcher looked at me in disbelief, and finally smiled: "Girl, you are kidding me!" ”
"I'm the shopkeeper here. But we didn't poison it. Hu Ping suddenly stood in front of me and said.
"You're pretty much the same." The catcher waved his hand, and immediately two catchers stepped forward and tied him up with ropes.
I am very grateful to Hu Pingping, but he is just an ordinary person, and if something happens, something really happens.
"He's just the shopkeeper I've hired, and I'm the one in charge here. If you let him go, just come to me if you have anything. I said.
"She's my sister-in-law, and she only came from her hometown today, and the things here have nothing to do with her." Hu Ping said urgently.
It's not bad to have such a brother, but now, even my own brother can't let him suffer because of me! "I'm really the boss here, I bought this building, and the title deed is still in my hands!" As I spoke, I took out the title deed from the pocket in my sleeve.
When the catcher took it, he immediately believed it, and he took the title deed into his bosom and said, "All the people here have to go with me." ”
"Why, I'm the boss here, and I'm going to go alone. The title deed was returned to me. I said.
The head catcher pointed at the dead on the ground, looked at me and sneered: "You killed someone, before you find out who the murderer is, this building will be sealed." I'll keep the title deed for you. ”
I was dumbfounded, feeling that something was a bit big, and that all my hard work would be in vain if I wasn't cleared of my charges. I'm nothing, what should Zhuo Ran do?
The head catcher ordered a few people to carry the corpse, and then said, "Take them all." ”
"Why, do you have any evidence that we killed these two people?" I shouted as I turned around.
The head catcher didn't reply: "Then what evidence is there to prove that you didn't kill him?" ”
I had nothing to refute, so I had to say again: "You let them all go, and I'll go with you." ”
"Let's go!" The head catcher didn't reply to me again, but the catcher on the side was not lazy to urge us.
"You can't take people without evidence."
I still didn't give up, but in exchange for being arrested, I pushed hard. I turned my head and glared at him. What a rough man, I don't know what it means to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!
Catching fast didn't look at me, but pushed again, "Hurry up!" ”
After everyone had gone out, I watched as the two catchers fastened the seals towards the closed door. There were people watching on the side of the road, and they were talking.
I don't feel ashamed of the strange eyes of passers-by, because I haven't done anything wrong. But there is another thing that I have to think about: if I don't go back, what will Zhuo Ran's mother think, what will happen if Zhuo Ran doesn't see me and can't find me?
Not long after walking, it suddenly began to rain in the already gloomy sky, and my men and I were escorted to the government office in Hangzhou City in the rain.
Because there were so many people involved, we were ordered to be put in a gloomy cell before we could go to court.
Because I was a woman, I was locked up alone across from them, and they were all locked up in a larger cubicle. After the arrest was gone, only a few jailers were left to guard it.
"I'm sorry!" I stood in front of the cell door and apologized to them across the street. Because I am a female prisoner, except for the iron bar, the door on my side is made of iron bars, and there are earthen walls on all sides, and there is not even a window, and the dim light makes people very uncomfortable.
"You're stupid, I said I was the shopkeeper, you're still strong, now it's okay." Hu Ping said as he attached himself to the railing.
"What are you afraid of, we didn't kill people. Besides, I'm your boss, if you take the blame for me at this time, will you still help me in the future? I said.
"Well, this matter has nothing to do with the four of us, we never touch the food of the guests, but now it's good that we are involved. No wonder it has been said since ancient times that women are a curse. Qian yelled.
"Hey, hey, women are bad water isn't used like this, besides, a slap can't make a sound, and you can't blame women!" I said.
"That's it, how can you say that, don't you marry a wife!" Hu Pingdao.
"My lady will be worried if she doesn't see me go home." At this time, a guy said sadly.
"My mother is still sick. I don't know when I'll find out. Another guy said.
"Don't worry, even if you can't find out when the time comes, I will bear this sin." I say.
"What a frustrating thing to say! We didn't poison it. Maybe those two people couldn't think about it themselves, and they poisoned themselves. Hu Pingdao.
"Then they don't have to come to our store to die." I say.
"Could it be the ghost of 'Ouyang Ji'?" Hu Pingdao. "Ouyang Ji" is the newly opened hot pot restaurant.
"It can't be so ruthless, right? Are you hungry? "I asked, they must not have eaten yet, and neither did I.
"Does it matter if you're hungry or not? I just want to get out of this place as soon as possible. Okho said.
I don't know what time it is in this dimly lit place, and this ancient cell really doesn't treat prisoners as human beings, except for haystacks, and it is convenient to have a small wooden barrel. The flavor is particularly strong.
I couldn't stay any longer, so I took off the jade bracelet Xu gave me on my wrist and threw it on the haystack, chanting a spell and casting a spell to turn it into my appearance. Only then did he escape to the road not far from Zhuo's house.
It turned out that it was almost dark, and a figure appeared not far in front of him, it was Zhuo Ran. I guess he picked me up from the store again.
I walked over to him, and when I got closer, I said, "I'm back." ”
Zhuo Ran didn't say anything, just turned around and walked home together.
After washing, I went back to my room, where Zhuo Ran was already reading a book.
"If I don't come back one day, you don't have to go to me deliberately, remember what I once said to you?" I say.
Zhuo Ran looked up at me and said, "'No matter where I am, I'll be fine.'" Is that what it is? ”
"It's me." I say.
"It's 'me'!"
"Alright, alright, I'm asleep. Remember what I told you! ”
I lay down in bed, though it was a little smaller, but it was better than sleeping on a haystack.
"It's best if you can protect yourself. I'm a man, but I'm a useless man. Zhuo Ran said suddenly.
"Are you too sleepy? How to say such frustrating words. I said.
"No, you sleep!"
I pursed my lips, and while Zhuo Ran wasn't paying attention, I cast a spell and made an enchantment around my body.
After a good night's sleep until dawn, Zhuo Ran had already gotten up, and just as I was about to go out, he brought me a bowl of medicinal soup and a piece of sugar.
After drinking the medicine, I went out and cast a spell in a place where no one was and returned to the prison cell of the government office.
Retracting the bracelet, I sat in the door of the cell, and the air here was better. On the other side, they were still sleeping.
"Get up, get up."
There was a jailer shouting for food, and this call woke up all the people on the other side.
One person, two dry and hard steamed buns, a bowl of water, this is this morning's prison rice, I don't know if the water is boiling.
