Chapter Seventy-One: Imprisoned
In the big prison in Tianyuan County, the county commander Geng was lying in the corner of the cell, this was a single cell, perhaps prepared for the county commander alone, he was lying on a broken mat, already tortured and skinny.
At this time, a man dressed as a jailer opened the cell door, walked in with a wooden box, looked at the county magistrate lying on the ground, and said; "Sir, you better get up and get something to eat! I heard from them that you haven't eaten for many days, and this is what is just left of the prefect's mansion today, and the small one is secretly hidden for you. ”
"I won't eat it, you can take it back!" The prefectural commander didn't get up, but just said in a hoarse voice.
"Master, you can get up and eat!"
Geng Xianling turned around and sat up and said to the jailer: "You take it back, I won't eat it, and don't call me master again in the future, I am now a prisoner." ”
"Lord Geng, you will always be the county commander of Tianyuan County in your small heart, the reason why I infiltrated the prefect's mansion is not only to make a living, but also to find out the news, this is what those dog officials eat, and it is still hot. Just eat a little! The jailer opened the lid of the box, and a smell of fragrance came to his nose.
Geng Zhixian sniffed, those meals were really tempting, but he remembered that he could only spend the rest of his life in this prison, waved his hand and said, "You take it back, I won't eat the rest of their things." ”
"Your Excellency stays in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood, and the people of Tianyuan are counting on you."
Geng Zhixian sighed, "Now that I am in prison, what other ability can I have to help the people." ”
"My lord, people are doing it, the sky is watching, I believe that God will not open his eyes, those wicked people will always be punished," the jailer said through gritted teeth, remembering his starving mother.
Geng Zhixian shook his head; "Now that the traitor is in charge, how can there be any justice, I have been upright all my life, but I ended up like this, that dog official spends all day drinking, and I am indeed tortured here."
The jailer comforted: "Master, you eat something first, and when you are well-nourished, we will find a way to escape." ”
"Where can I escape, and besides, they won't let me go."
"My lord, the villagers plan to jointly write a letter to the emperor, begging the emperor to send someone to investigate your case thoroughly, we believe that the magistrate will not embezzle disaster relief funds."
Geng Zhi smiled bitterly, I don't know if I can count on the emperor, I don't know if the emperor saw it, and why did the prefect frame himself for embezzling disaster relief funds? Why did they block the roads in Kyoto? Geng Zhi didn't think about these issues before, but now he thinks about it and there are many doubts.
Seeing that Lord Zhixian seemed to be thinking, the jailer said: "My lord, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood, the most important thing at present is that you take care of your body first." ”
"Xiao Wu, did they check the lunch box today?"
"Master, a few cell bosses got together to drink, and I didn't find out, I changed into my old clothes and sneaked in, you can eat quickly! Hurry up and eat! , and when there is a chance, the little one will come to see you. ”
"Xiao Wu, when you come again, can you prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for me, I want to write a letter to the emperor, you can find a way to send it to the Kyoto Imperial History Mansion, and let Chen Yushi hand it over to the emperor."
"Master, when you have a chance next time, the little one must prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for you, you can eat it!" After the jailer finished speaking, he picked up a chicken leg from the lunch box and handed it to Geng Zhi, seeing Geng Zhi gobble it up, the jailer swallowed his saliva.
Geng Zhi looked at Xiao Wu swallowing his saliva, knowing that he was also hungry, "Xiao Wu, you can also make it and eat, I can't eat so much alone." "When he picked up a piece of meat, he had to hand it to Xiao Wu.
"No, the master eats, Xiao Wu just looks at it."
"Eat, little five." Geng Zhi stuffed the meat into Xiao Wu's hand.
Xiao Wu ate a few bites and said to Geng Zhi: "Master, the little ones should go back, the cell bosses should wake up later, you should cover these dishes and wine with broken mats, don't let them find out." ”
After Xiao Wu left, Geng Zhi put two plates of meat and vegetables and a pot of old wine on the cover of the broken mat, and fell asleep.
In the evening, a cell boss carrying a broken bucket opened the cell door and shouted, "It's time to eat!" ”
Seeing that Governor Geng's mansion didn't move, the cell boss roared again: "What about you!" Get up and eat. ”
Governor Geng didn't get up, but just said casually: "If you don't eat, you won't have an appetite." ”
"What a big temper, who do you think you are? Do you know the county? If you don't eat it, don't eat it in the future, it's better to starve to death, and then I can go to the prefect to receive the reward. ”
Geng Zhixian ignored him, seeing that Geng Zhi didn't speak, the cell head pursed his lips and directly lifted the broken bucket and left.
In the middle of the night, a group of rats surrounded Geng Zhi, because the meat dishes under the broken table attracted them, Geng Zhi heard the squeak, hurriedly got up to check, and saw the rats surrounding him, and also wanted a piece of the pie. Busy guarding Cai Shichong, a big mouse near him whispered: "This is mine, you guys go to those dog officials to eat!" ”
The rat gate didn't know what he was talking about, but he still refused to leave, Geng Zhi had no choice but to tear off a small piece of chicken and throw it away from him, and the group of rats rushed up to grab it with a squeak.
The squeaking of the rats alarmed the cell head, who came over with a lantern to check it, and saw a group of rats squeaking and yelling, "What's the matter, so noisy?" ”
"Rats." Geng Zhi replied casually.
Seeing the cell head walk away, Geng Zhi picked up two plates of meat and vegetables, ate them heavily, and after eating, he burped at a group of rats who were eyeing him, and put the plate down.
The rats came running and licked their plates, and when they saw that there was nothing to eat, they all scattered and ran away.
Geng Zhi picked up the flask and took a sip of old wine, put the flask in his arms, and fell asleep again.
The next day, the head of the cell came in with a bucket of rancid food, pouted his lips and threw the bucket in front of Geng Zhi and said, "It's time to eat, get up and eat quickly." ”
Geng Zhi ate too much last night, he didn't have much appetite, and he didn't want to eat, but he remembered that Xiao Wu said that he should stay in Qingshan, and he was not afraid of no firewood, so he got up and endured some things from the swishing meal and put it in his mouth to endure the nausea, chewed and swallowed it a few times.
Seeing Geng Zhi eating, the corner of the cell leader's mouth twitched and sarcastically said, "Aren't you not eating?" Why did you admit it today? ”
Geng Zhixian sneered: "I was hungry with the rat last night." ”
"Very good, eat obediently, maybe you can live a few more days, or the rats will eat you." He said that he carried the barrel and walked out, locked the cell door again, and left.
