Chapter 52: Twenty Years of Imprisonment

"Kill us? No, he doesn't have the guts. Song Ci explained: "You have forgotten that you have written a letter yesterday and sent a letter to the palace by post station, I believe that the people of the Holy Heaven will come in the third day, and when the time comes, I am afraid that this Liu Tianhong will not be able to eat and leave."

Everyone was relieved, but still a little worried.

Qin Xiaoyue frowned, "My lord, what if the emperor's people can't find us?" I'm afraid it won't be easy to do then.

Song Ci laughed, "Actually, Song left a hand when he wrote the letter, that is, these soldiers mainly searched the cell when they came, I think, this time it will not be impossible to find it!"

.Yes.. Your Excellency, you're really insightful, otherwise ....."

"The adult really deserves to be a man, not only that, but also very careful, we can rest assured, no matter how bad this Liu Tianhong is, then he won't dare to cut us down within three days!"

In the yamen, Liu Tianhong and Shushi were together, and the two were drinking hot tea on a stone bench in the courtyard.

Shushi said: "My lord, I waited for this to leave for a month, and I ran into this incident when I came back, I am worried that these people are not small, after all, who else in this Great Song Dynasty dares to smash the yamen and break in?"

Liu Tianhong stroked his beard, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: Shushi, master, I have been the magistrate of the county for so many years, and I have never heard that it can be like this, and you want to drive me out of the officialdom without a certificate from the Ministry of Etiquette, do you think this matter is true?"

Shushi said: "The small one is a book history, and I don't understand anything else, I don't know this kind of thing!"

Liu Tianhong laughed, very despicable, "You don't know, but this official knows, regardless of whether these people are from the Criminal Department, they have no evidence, and they broke into the door and pretended to be the magistrate, what is wrong with me arresting them, master?"

Shushi also figured it out, and nodded one after another, "What the adult said is really right, I didn't expect this, I really admire the adult." ”

"If you can think of this, my position can be done for you, sir, learn, these are the ways of being an official, in the future, if I am promoted, won't this Zhuxian county order become your book history?"

"In that case, thank you for your blessings."

Liu Tianhong nodded and was satisfied, "By the way, Shushi, take care of these people closely, master, I will submit the approval documents to the Criminal Department in the next two days, and after staying, these people will be beheaded immediately, and at that time, even if the matter is revealed, we will not be blamed above." ”

"It's my lord!"

"By the way, about those prisoners, give a few more steamed buns every day, although they will die soon, but that can't make them say that I'm stingy, right?"

Shushi hurriedly said: "In this case, then add a bowl of porridge to ten steamed buns per person every day?"

"Ten steamed buns?" Liu Tianhong waved his hand and said: "It's a lot, five plus five bowls of porridge per person per day is enough, how much silver is allocated by the imperial court?" They've all eaten, sir, I'll drink the northwest wind!"

"Yes, sir, I'll tell the prison chief to do it now.

Time was passing, and soon night came, and on the streets of Zhuxian County, there were more pig farmers pushing dead pigs to the yamen, and they were waiting for Song Ci's promise, one or two silver.

But this group of people found that the new magistrate was gone, and the reason was that after the old magistrate returned.

Many people knew what was going on, and they prayed that this Shinchi prefecture would be safe and sound, and they fulfilled what they had said.

But some people also noticed that something was wrong, Lao Zhixian had been in for a long time, and no one had come at the moment, and they saw that Song Ci was already more than lucky.

But they did not leave immediately, but continued to stay here, believing that Song Ci would definitely be able to turn defeat into victory.

In the cell, soon a cell boss came with steamed buns and porridge, put them outside, and said coldly: "The county magistrate has a good heart, and he will treat you very well, and in the future, each person will have five steamed buns and five bowls of porridge every day, and you should not live up to the kindness of the adults."

Wenwu shouted angrily: "Bold cell boss, do you know who our adults are? Do you hold him in prison and believe it that he will condemn you when he goes out?"

Wen Cheng also said: "A mere seven-grade sesame official dares to arrest our adults, he will go out in the sun, and we will never let you go!"

The cell boss laughed instead of being angry, took away half of these meals, and said disdainfully: "They have become prisoners and are still making nonsense, today, I will let you know what it means to be a king of Hades to deal with, and a little ghost is difficult to deal with."

He threw the remaining half on the ground, stomped on it a few times, and spat on it.

"Bah, are you still mentioning the prison officer? Do you believe it or not, if what you say is true, then I am the director of the Criminal Department?"

Seeing that the three of them were about to get angry, Song Ci stopped him and smiled slightly: "This cell boss, you don't have to be angry, we have already become prisoners, what else do you have to worry about?"

As he spoke, he grabbed steamed buns and porridge from the basket on the ground and sat on the ground, "Eating in a cell is a different taste, Song has never lived for so many years." ”

When Qin Xiaoyue and the others saw this scene, they also sat on the ground and began to eat.

The cell boss said: "That's right, here, it's me who has the final say, and there is no good end to going against me, you who know each other don't look for trouble in these few days, otherwise, there will be no good end for you."

Song Ci said: "How many days? Could it be that in a few days, this magistrate will let Song out? Hehe, he can't let it go, at most two days later, Song's officers and soldiers will arrive, and at that time, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat and leave. ”

The cell boss said, "Let you out?" Hey, are you not awake or are you confused? Tell you, you and others pretending to be from the Criminal Department, and forcibly breaking into the yamen, the lord decided to pull you out and cut you down in a few days!"

When everyone heard this, their pupils contracted violently, but only Song Ci was very calm, but he didn't think so.

"Want to cut Song? This county magistrate is really bold, just him? I'm afraid I'll have to kneel down before the time comes.

A large mouthful of rice porridge was drunk, plus steamed buns, and Song Ci lay down on the withered grass on the ground to rest after being full of wine and food.

The old man said: "When you die, you still die without repentance, adults deserve to be adults, no matter how hard your mouth is?" A few days later, he went down to the Yellow Spring.

Saying that, as soon as he left, there was another cell with his front foot and his back foot, and someone reached out to pick up the steamed buns on the ground and ate them.

The mouth is still whining, with satisfaction, very excited.

He seemed to have not eaten a full meal for a long time, his body was weak, his hair was as long as a chicken's coop, his hair was unkempt, and he was very miserable.

There was a sour smell on his body, he had been imprisoned for a long time, and he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, so it was not surprising that he could look like this.

Song Ci got up and came to him, sat on the ground and said, "Big brother, how long have you been detained here?" Why did you come in?"

After this person devoured it, he seemed to have forgotten how to speak, and after thinking for a long time, his mouth was still whining.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Song Ci said: "Don't be in a hurry, if you have something to say, speak slowly, perhaps, Song can help."

He paused, and finally eased up a lot at this moment, "Old man, I'..... I've been locked up for twenty years, until ..... Never went out so far. ”
