Chapter 108: The Jailer
The gate of the temple of the Hell God was a beast's head with its mouth open, and when a person entered through the door, it was as if he had been devoured by the monster.
Jia Baoyu shuddered, he had already been chained by two jailers and led into the prison temple. Sister Qiao had already been taken into the prison by two other jailers.
Jia Baoyu cried in tears, but there was nothing to be done.
The two jailers shouted angrily, "You damn rat, stay alive." It's freezing on this day, but you still have to hurt Lao Tzu to guard you here. No matter what your identity was before, when you came here, Lao Tzu is the sky, if you know some rules and are interested, bring it. ”
Jia Baoyu wiped away her tears and said, "What to take? I really don't know what the two of you said!"
A jailer sneered, "If it's really a dead rat who doesn't know anything! This country has national laws, the family has family rules, and in this prison, there are also rules, if you have some favors, you are only afraid of suffering less crimes, if not, the master has a way to rectify you. ”
Jia Baoyu still didn't understand, so he said: "Human favors? I have a first meeting with you, where is there any human favor!"
Another jailer said angrily: "Don't talk to him, let's just search for him." I see that this kid is well dressed, but I don't believe that a little oil and water can't be found. ”
The two jailers said, and came to turn over Jia Baoyu's body, but except for the piece of Tongling jade on his neck, he didn't turn over a tael of silver, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Damn, this kid is brightly dressed, but he is penniless, this broken jade doesn't know how much it can be worth, but I'm afraid that even the money for a drink tonight is not enough, but it is his mother's bad luck." ”
The two jailers kicked Jia Baoyu angrily, locked the iron chain that locked Jia Baoyu to the leg of the prison god statue, and then went out with a curse.
One of the jailers said, "Do you want me to stay and watch this kid?"
Another said: "Look at him like that, stupid and stupid, besides, this is the prison temple of the heavenly prison, and he can't escape." Let's go and go back quickly, just go to the old man Li on Tiangao Street to buy some wine and meat, otherwise, how to spend tonight, you won't be frozen to death. ”
As he spoke, the two jailers closed the door of the Prison Temple, took a shortcut all the way out of the forbidden place of the palace, and then came up to the Heavenly Prison Street.
It was already dark, and the snow was falling. Tiangao Street is not far from the forbidden land of the Imperial City, and at this time there are few pedestrians, and shops close early.
Two jailers drove to a small restaurant and knocked on the door.
Susu, an old man came out, saw the two of them, and said with a smile: "The two masters have come to drink again, but a new prisoner has arrived." ”
The jailer didn't answer, squeezed into the door early, rubbed his hands and said: "Don't talk nonsense, today is unlucky, meet an iron rooster, don't say anything stupid, there is no oil and water, only this broken stone, I will give you a meal of wine and meat." ”
As he spoke, the jailer threw the piece of psychic jade that he had searched from Jia Baoyu to the old man, and then sat down beside the fire in the house to roast the fire.
The old man took the Tongling Jade and looked at it, and said with a smile: "This is a sick jade, and it is not worth a few dollars." ”
The jailer said angrily: "What nonsense! If you have any snacks, get more, and my lord has taken care of your business over the years." No matter how verbose it is, believe it or not, I lit your shop on fire, so that I could warm up my body. ”
As he spoke, the two jailers untied the gourds from their bodies and threw them to the old man.
The old man had no choice but to accept the Tongling Treasure Jade and hurriedly went in with the wine gourd.
After a cup of tea, the old man came out with two gourds filled with wine and a bag of things, and said with a smile: "The wine has been filled to the second master, but it has been snowing heavily for several days, and the guests are scarce, and the small shop has not always prepared any wine, only this roast duck, or I kept it myself, so I gave it to the second master." ”
One of the jailers scolded: "Bastard old thing, just give such a little, it's not enough for the two of us to stuff between our teeth." Don't be reluctant to keep the good ones, and when I turn them out, I won't spare you. ”
The old man hurriedly said: "It's really difficult to do business, and it's really gone." In a few days, I'm afraid that my small shop will also close down. ”
The jailer didn't believe it, so he went inside early and rummaged through, but there was really nothing to eat, but he saw that there was still a jar of daughter red in the kitchen inside, so he took it and left.
The old man hurriedly came up and said: "This is what I kept for my aunt and daughter, they just went back to my aunt's house, and in a few days it will be their big day, this jar of daughter red I have stored for eighteen years, it is for them to ......"
Before the old man finished speaking, he was overthrown to the ground by the jailer, and went out with a laugh of wine.
The two jailers went out of the hotel, and the wind and snow were tight outside, and one of them said: "This year, I really can't live, it has snowed heavily for several months, but I am afraid that I will starve to death like that year." ”
Another said: "This emperor has changed one after another, like turning a book." It's not easy to do our errand. There are more and more prisoners, but they are all poor. ”
The man from earlier said, "I'm afraid there will be another war." I heard that this time the emperor suffered a big loss, and now many people have fled to Nan'anzhou. If it goes on like this, we can survive this winter, and it will be good to save our lives. ”
The two talked all the way, couldn't help but open the wine gourd, took a sip of wine, and ate and drank while walking with the bag of roast duck meat in their hands.
One person said: "I didn't expect that now even a big family like Rongguofu has fallen, Dongping Xining has been destroyed, and only Nan'an Prefecture and the imperial court are left to confront each other, but I don't know when it will be a head." The kid we took in the prison god temple today, I heard that it was Jia Baoyu of Rongguo Mansion, and I heard the head of the cell talk about it in previous years, saying how he drank sweetly and hated fat, how rich and noble, but I didn't expect that he would still be a fool today. ”
Another person said: "It's just that he has no money on him, only a piece of broken jade, and when this meal of wine and meat is gone." It's really fucking unlucky, and Lao Tzu has to guard him, but he doesn't throw him directly into prison. ”
The two of you said a word, and the words fell, but I saw a person suddenly riding a horse in front of me and coming slowly, just in front of the two.
A jailer was furious and said, "What kind of bastard who doesn't have long eyes, don't get out of the way! ”
The person who came was riding on a horse, wearing a hat on his head, a coat of clothes, and covered with snowflakes, so he sneered: "Where is Jia Baoyu that you two Shi just said?"
When the jailer heard this, Fang raised his eyes and looked at the person who came and said angrily: "It's about your, don't find fault with it, I annoyed the uncle, I will chop you with a knife!"
The people who came laughed and did not answer, but flew off their horses early, and kicked down the two jailers with a series of flying feet, and the long sword at his waist suddenly came out of his sheath, and pointed at the two people on the snow and said: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you, what I ask you to answer, if there is half a lie, I will cut off your tongues first." ”
The wind blew a corner of the man's hat, revealing a grimace mask inside.
The two jailers exclaimed, "Leng Erlang!"
The visitor sneered: "Since you know, answer my question." ”
The two jailers kowtowed like garlic and said, "The little one knows everything." ”
This person was Leng Erlang Liu Qing, so he said, "Where are you keeping Jia Baoyu?"
A jailer hurriedly said: "His family is locked up in the prison, but Jia Baoyu is in the prison temple outside the prison, saying that a big man will go to see him tomorrow." ”
Liu Qing said again: "Why are you two here?"
Another jailer said: "The two of us were ordered to guard him, but because it was cold, I came out to get some wine and food, but I didn't want to bump into Leng Daxia." ”
Liu Qing said again: "I just heard what you two said about jade, but what's going on?"
The two jailers were a little frightened.
