Li Ji and Boss Yu were escorted in a prison car, and the two looked at each other, crying and laughing.

Li Ji smacked his lips, shook his head again, as if laughing at himself, and said, "Dead old man, I didn't expect that we were beaten from the ring to the prisoner car, and it was really fate!"

Boss Yu nodded and said, "Little brother, what you say is reasonable! I just don't know where the officials are going to send us?"

Li Ji said lightly: "It's definitely not a good place! If you come, you will be safe, let's act when the opportunity comes!"

Boss Yu was surprised that Li Ji was so young and could be so calm and organized in the face of things, and couldn't help but be amazed: "Little brother, I never thought that you were young and promising, and your courage was extraordinary, and the old man admired you!"

Li Ji let out a short wry smile and said: "Dead old man, you are sweet and sweet-talking, and your tongue is like a spring, how many people have you deceived with this mouth?

Boss Yu said: "Everyone has a rod in their hearts, which can not only weigh themselves, but also call others." The old man has been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, although he is not a famous hero, he has some experience and experience, and he can never be wrong in looking at people, if he only judges the merits of a person by appearance and reputation, isn't it a big mistake?"

Li Ji patted Boss Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There is no wind and no waves, if a person is talented, respects teachers and respects teaching, and causes less trouble, how can anyone talk nonsense behind his back?"

Yu Laodao: "Who can prove that those who are praised must be the same as they are on the outside?" There are many hypocrites in this world, and I always feel that the little brother is a frank and straightforward person, and the reason why he has fallen to this point must be misunderstood. ”

Li Ji was slightly stunned and said: "It's the first time I've heard you say this, although I deserve it, but it sounds very kind and pleasant, and I also have self-knowledge, if it's as good as you say, how can I be in prison?"

When Boss Yu heard this, his face was a little ashamed, and he said, "It's all the old man who has affected the little brother!"

When the team came to Yangxian County Mansion, they saw the high wall and the red door, and the decoration of the mansion was exquisite, and it was the style of a mansion of a wealthy gentry.

The mahogany plaque under the eaves of the top of the door is written with three gold lacquer characters of "Yangxian Mansion", and a pair of stone lions squatting in front of the door, the form is mighty.

The middle-aged scholar jumped down from the horse and said, "It's getting late, put them in the dungeon first, let me give the county magistrate, and then close the case tomorrow." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

As a result, Li Ji and Boss Yu were tied up by middle-aged scholars and a group of officers and soldiers and taken to the dungeon.

The dungeon was originally a place of detention and killing, but it was late at night, and it was even more gloomy, only to see that the surroundings were extremely dark, the wind passed through the empty window and heard the sorrowful cry, and the blood was not dried and the soul was not gone.

Look at the bottom of the blue and white cup, there is still the life-seeking wine at that time, on the iron fence, still hanging the silk of the past, people are close to the fierceness of this dungeon, who knows why the ghost is not willing to rest?

Li Ji stood in front of the door of this heavy dungeon, only to feel that there was a hidden cry in this prison, the ground was scattered with teapots and cups, all covered by dust, still stained with blood, and the white silk hanging down from the iron fence was not hung on it, but it was always tense, as if someone was hanging.

The whole dungeon was miserable, with the sound of ghosts crying and resentment.

At this time, several jailers in the prison had already fallen asleep, snoring loudly, and the smell of alcohol and blood was mixed together, which made people feel sick.

Seeing this, the middle-aged scholar was furious and said: "Bastard! What are you eating, being on duty in prison, drinking and having fun, and dereliction of duty, you are simply eating the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard!"

This sound was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the jailers fell to the ground one after another, and they rubbed their drunken eyes, and when they saw the comer, their faces suddenly turned pale and colorless.

The jailers were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and one of them said in a trembling voice: "I don't know that Mr. Jiang is coming, and he can't meet him from afar, the villain should ......be damned."

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the jailer who spoke was slapped on the head by President Jiang: "If there is a next time, I will not spare you! These two are serious murderers, and they are extremely cruel, you must take good care of them, if there is a mistake, only you ask!"

After speaking, General Jiang handed over Li Ji and Boss Yu to the jailers, and left a few officers and soldiers to strengthen their guard, and then turned around and left.

Li Ji saw that this middle-aged scholar was strong in martial arts, vigorous and resolute, and had a lot of means, but unfortunately his heart was not right, otherwise he would be able to take on a big responsibility.

Li Ji and Boss Yu were escorted into a large cell, the iron fence door slammed shut, Li Ji glanced back, then turned around, sighed softly, walked into the gloomy cell as if no one was around, leaned against the wall and slowly lay down, and closed his eyes.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, Boss Yu couldn't help but wonder: "Little brother, can you sleep in such an environment?"

Li Ji said lightly: "This place is quieter, I haven't slept peacefully for a few days, why not take this opportunity to take a good rest, and only have the energy to deal with it tomorrow." ”

As he was talking, he saw more than a dozen fierce and tyrannical death row inmates sitting scattered around the huge cell.

Seeing that Li Ji and Boss Yu were so unsightly, the death row prisoners glanced at each other, and then stood up and gathered around.

Hundreds of years of rules and conventions, no matter you are the king of heaven, you must be beaten to death and killed to death when you enter the prison.

The death row inmates who came up were just about to make a move, when Li Ji suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes swept over the faces of these death row inmates like lightning.

The manic violence of the death row inmates who had nowhere to vent was like a balloon that had been punctured, and the courage in their bodies suddenly disappeared, and no one dared to take another step forward after hesitating!

Li Ji snorted coldly and closed his eyes again. In the cell, there was an incomprehensible silence.

Boss Yu quietly gave a thumbs up and said softly: "I think that all the death row inmates in this dungeon are demons who kill people without blinking, but they were shocked by your silence." Little brother, what a hero!"

Li Ji closed his eyes and still didn't speak, but what came to his mind was the boundless and terrifying dungeon in the Blood Maple Forest, and the dungeon he was in at this time was simply heaven. Besides, most of these death row prisoners are rural buns, who only have brute strength and don't know any martial arts, even if they fight, they can solve them with ease.

If you are not afraid in your heart, you can have enough aura.

After being silent for a while, Li Ji suddenly asked, "I said old man, do you have a grudge against Yangxian County Order?"

Boss Yu was slightly stunned and said, "I have never met the county magistrate, and I have nothing to do with it, let alone have a grudge." ”

"Then it's strange, why did he lock us up here?"

Boss Yu shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

After a while, there was a knock on the chains outside the cell door, and a jailer with a man stood in the corridor and pointed at each other.

Li Ji looked around, and saw that the blurred figure was a little familiar, but he couldn't see who it was?

Fortunately, his hearing was already extraordinary, and he could hear the two of them talking softly with their voices suppressed.

"You see, that old man is the main culprit, the young man is an accomplice, the crime is murder and arson, when you ascend to the church tomorrow, you will be determined, everything is seen with your own eyes, understand?"

"Official, the little one understands, understands, it's just this ......"

"Oh, don't worry, I won't miss a penny for you!"

"Hehe, thank you, official!"

I saw the figure bow over and nod frequently, and then left with the jailer.

"I'm afraid the county magistrate is busy making confessions tonight, and it seems that tomorrow's court will be exciting. Li Ji stared at the dark top of the cell, sneered, and muttered to himself, "Today, the officialdom is dark, the people are not living, in prison, torture is a trick, and there are many deaths in vain, especially the local parents and officials, who are in charge of life and death to seize power, and are trusted by the local people. ”

Boss Yu didn't know what Li Ji meant, thinking that he was just sighing indiscriminately, so he persuaded: "Little brother, don't be discouraged! The world is as black as a crow, which official has really done practical things for the people, as the saying goes, 'three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver', all officials who are in office are too late to eat, drink, and fish, how can they have time to care about the life and death of the people." ”

Li Ji was silent, not because the darkness of this world made him shut up, but because he hoped that there would be light to guide him and become a beacon of the way forward.

Li Ji shook his head, waved away his mixed thoughts, and then slowly fell asleep against the wall.

When he woke up the next day, Li Ji felt full of energy and physical strength, and Li Ji smiled secretly: "If you lose your horse, you don't know if you are blessed, and if you lose, you will gain something." I spent one night in a cell and was the most soundly and soundly slept in days. ！”

When Li Ji saw Boss Yu, he was slightly stunned: "Old man, are you awake too?"

Boss Yu glared at a pair of panda eyes and said, "It's a shame that you can sleep, I didn't sleep at all last night." ”

Li Jiqi said: "Why?"

Boss Yu stretched out his hand and pointed at the death row inmates scattered around, glared at the two of them angrily, and said, "They are staring like this, where can the old man sleep peacefully!"

After a while, the jailers and officers and soldiers escorted them to the county hall.

I saw that the entrance of the Yangxian Mansion was already full of people, and Li Ji and Boss Yu slowly walked into the public hall under the escort of the officials.

From a distance, I saw a mirror hanging high above the public hall, and a column of soap-clothed servants on each side, holding a killing rod, standing in a forest.

Li Ji remembers that the first time he walked into such a majestic place was in Anji County Mansion, and that time he went with his father Li Yuan, and it was also the last time he went.

Thinking of this, Li Ji suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

At this moment, above the public court, the officials on both sides knocked on the sticks and shouted might, and the beating sound of the sticks was very rhythmic, which made people feel a sense of urgency.

When the county officials go to court, they can't make a casual noise like a market gathering, and they should be quiet and respectful.

At this time, the people watching outside the hall exclaimed, and saw the county commander in official uniform, accompanied by the master, walking into the court.
