Chapter 139: Familiarize yourself with the terrain
Moreover, this captain, the power is not ordinary.
It can be said that it is very powerful, very powerful.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha...... You're so polite...... Haha......"
I laughed so badly that I startled everyone.
I blushed and sarcastically mocked myself, it was so unruly that it made people laugh.
I didn't see that the master had an imperceptible smile on his face. However, after the master smiled, I inexplicably felt a kind of relief.
Originally, I always thought that this master was fake, and he seemed to be paying attention to me and observing me all the time, but now, it seems that he is not so defensive.
Thinking of this, I am even happier: "Everyone, a hundred years of repairing the same boat, we are also destined to be colleagues, I Song has just arrived, and I will take care of you in the future, in order to express my gratitude, tonight, I invite everyone to eat and drink, and we must not be drunk and not return!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was very happy, and heard some people say: "Song Zhutou, we have all heard that your cooking skills are the first in a hundred miles radius, and how many dignitaries and nobles can't be ranked, I don't know when we will be lucky enough to taste your craftsmanship?" ”
I smiled and said, "As long as everyone is willing, it's tonight!" ”
Everyone cheered at this remark.
"Do you have meat to eat?"
"Not only do you have meat, but you also have enough to drink, and you also have wine to drink."
"I heard that you made braised pork, we also heard that we haven't eaten it, I don't know tonight's meat, but there is braised pork?"
"Yes, whatever you want to eat, just report the name of the dish, as long as I can make it, it's enough!"
After a burst of interaction, the relationship immediately became much closer, and many people knew us before, and they didn't have any share.
In fact, these catchers are still good-hearted, and when we live a bad life in the poor alleys, they don't collect taxes ruthlessly, and many things pass by turning a blind eye to us.
used to be good to us, but now although I was lucky enough to be the head catcher, their leader, but this love, I remember!
After the brothers calmed down, Guan Zhongmin and Qiu Dalang quietly gave each of them two taels of silver, explaining that it was my intention, which was considered a meeting gift. This gift is not thin, and it is more than half a year's salary.
Now, they were even more happy.
Although I lost nearly two hundred taels of silver, two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount for us ordinary people, but when I saw that everyone greeted me with a smile on their faces, one by one, I said in my heart: It's worth it!
After meeting with everyone, the master withdrew first when he saw that he was fine, and we were taken by the old man to get acquainted.
Under the guidance of a young Hong Bantou, he took us to familiarize ourselves with the situation of the county government, from the front office to the back office, one by one, and the people knew the same, Guan Zhongmin and Qiu Dalang were not idle, and they all stuffed silver when they saw people. Everyone is also smiling, and Song Zhutou is the one who screams.
With Hong Bantou, I turned around the county office, and finally ran to the prison.
The jailer here asked Guan Zhongmin and Qiu Dalang to send five taels of silver.
The jailers were surprised to receive such a heavy welcome gift from me, and they were a little frightened, and several of them had to be returned to me, and I laughed that their duty was even harder, so they should have more.
Hong Bantou is also a person who has received heavy gifts, because he is the head of the team, so Guan Zhongmin's brother gave him five taels of silver. However, he was still a little puzzled when he saw that I had given the jailer five taels per person.
But Hong Bantou, who was old in the rivers and lakes, didn't say much, he just didn't see it. Occasionally, I also help me say good things and harmonize the atmosphere.
Under the guidance of the jailer, I entered the Tang Dynasty prison for the first time and saw the so-called hell on earth.
The prisoners here are all dressed in tattered clothes, unkempt, and all of them are blue-faced, obviously malnourished, and they look like they have not eaten enough for a long time.
The prison was dimly lit, the torches flickered, the steps were not clear, and the ground was pitted.
It is not a big prison, but it has imprisoned a lot of people, there are hundreds, some cells are twenty or thirty people in a room, in the thick wooden bar, overcrowded, it is difficult to have a good space for activities, the smell is stinking, a group of people are noisy and noisy, chaotic, the jailers are all stabbing with water and fire sticks, only to be considered to be safe.
The further you go inside, the heavier the humidity becomes, and the shoes get wet. Not only did I wonder, "How can this go more and more water?" ”
The head of the prison who has been following closely shouted a lot, and many of them said with a smile: "Back to Song Zhutou, the further you go in, the wetter it is, because here is a water prison, which is either to imprison felons or punish criminals who make mistakes, so the more you go inside, the more water there is." If Song Zhutou doesn't want to go inside, let's turn back from here. ”
Hong Bantou also persuaded me that Guan Zhongmin and Qiu Dalang were actually not very interested in the water prison inside.
But I don't know how, I have to see the end.
So, I didn't accept the suggestion and insisted on seeing it.
People don't want to betray me. Just go ahead.
In the rest of the cell, there were really not many people, at most there were only four people together, most of them were two people.
Xu Prison Boss whispered to me as he walked, these are robbery and murder, these are murder and extortion, and these two are kidnapping......
As I listened, I could tell that Xu was also wary of these felons.
The water in the dungeon was getting deeper and deeper, and it was close to the base of the thigh, and the prisoners in the cells were also entrenched in their beds, because it was better there, but there was much less room to move.
In such a humid environment, I don't know how they endured it, I sighed while watching, this ancient prison life is really uncomfortable.
We walked with our thighs as much as we could, and Qiu Dalang couldn't help complaining: "Brother Yong, our newly changed clothes are now wet, alas, why do you say we are here to suffer this sin?" ”
I asked, "How far is it?" ”
Xu Prison said: "Not far away, there are still two or three cells to end, but further inside, the water is even deeper." ”
I said to Qiu Dalang: "Brother Qiu, you and Brother Guan go back and wait first, and I'll go inside and take a look." ”
Guan Zhongmin also complained that Qiu Dalang was too talkative and wanted to go with me, but he was dragged away by Qiu Dalang. Hong Bantou also sued and went back with the two of them.
I didn't know how deep the water was, and I was afraid that I would be planted in it again, so I moved forward. Now I can clearly feel the existence of qi in my body, and when I am lucky, my body is immediately much more relaxed, and I see Xu Prison head walking hard, so I asked him to go back too, don't follow me to suffer.
Xu Prison Tou let go twice, and saw that I really wanted him to go back, so he didn't insist anymore, and then instructed me: "Song Zhutou, it's okay to go forward, but the small one has something to explain, go forward to the second room, there is a person, living alone, you must not talk to him more, this person looks good, but in fact he is a murderous demon who does not blink an eye, and he was originally going to behead him next month when he took office as the county commander, but as a result, the county commander left first and left him behind." So far, no one cares about his life and death. ”
I nodded yes and let Xu go back first.
I didn't go far, and sure enough, I saw a person living in a room alone, sitting with his back to him, his body straight, his hair not messy, and although his clothes were wet, they were neat, making people look like a particular teacher.
I can't help but wonder, what kind of person is this? Is it really as Xu Prison said, a murderous demon who kills people without blinking?
