Final Chapter. 192. Rats cross the street
No matter how advanced the new Nankang model is, the social structure will not be able to bring about fundamental changes. No matter what kind of social system it is, there must be many poor people and few rich people. Because no matter what distribution system is chosen, the overall amount of resources will not change.
Therefore, the entertainment life of the rich is naturally diverse and varied; But the entertainment life of the poor will be severely limited by the level of consumption.
Among the entertainment activities that do not cost money, watching killing can be described as a reserved program that the people like to see!
On the night of the public trial notice released at the entrance of the yamen, a series of snacks and snacks such as cooked food, dry food, fruits, and snacks in Jiankang City collectively ushered in a blowout sales peak; Rich people buy ducks, wine and meat, and prepare a few jars of good wine; And the poor have to tighten their belts, at least buy a large handful of melon seeds, and wait to see this lively drama tomorrow.
The people are watching the play, and they just need to nourish their spirits; But the Nankang court is singing, whether it is "gongs and drums" or "singing lyrics and reciting white", it must be discharged overnight. It is necessary not only to succeed in arousing public indignation, but also to be legally impeccable; Otherwise, wouldn't the new Nankang they praised become a laughing stock?
As for the finale protagonist of this drama, Lin Siwei, was in the prison of Dali Temple at this time, sleeping peacefully.
The next morning, a jailer with a tiny fluff on his mouth walked into the prison with a food box. He took the key to open the chains of the small window of the fence door, and made a rattling sound, which also woke Lin Siwei from his sleep.
"Prisoner, I wish you well."
This is a good word, but if it comes out of the mouth of the person at the yamen, then it means that the prisoner will be beheaded today. After Lin Siwei listened, he also reached out and stroked the messy hair on his sideburns, yawned, and said to him with a smile:
"Didn't you say there would be a public trial? How come even you, a little jailer, now know that I am happy today? ”
“…… Prisoner's wife, take the reward. ”
The little jailer didn't answer Lin Si's words, but just put the three-layer food box on the window panel that was propped up into the prison. Lin Siwei didn't want to embarrass him, reached out and took down the food box, and helped him relock the small door.
"Eat more, eat carefully. In two quarters of an hour, I'll come back to the box. ”
With that, the little jailer turned and left the prison; But when Lin Siwei opened the food box and took out a cage of crab roe soup dumplings on the top layer, he suddenly found that there was a black iron key under the cage drawer! Lin Siwei stroked the slightly watery key, looked up at the cell door again; I saw the big steel lock, and I don't know when it changed an angle; And the keyhole of the black hole is also watching itself at this time, and it is within reach.
Lin Siwei knew that with his own skills, even if he could escape from this cell, he would not be able to escape the clutches of Di Ting. She didn't want to put this well-meaning jailer in danger because of her rash actions; So she didn't think about it at all, just put the iron key into her cuff, and continued to taste this expensive "severed head meal".
Two quarters of an hour later, the little jailer was gone. When he saw Lin Siwei in prison, his face was full of incomprehension. Lin Siwei didn't open his mouth to explain anything to him, but when he brought the wooden flail and chain, he secretly returned the key in the cuff to him.
This set of wooden flail chains can be described as sufficiently crafted and sufficient to lock a strong man as solid as a mountain; can be pressed on Lin Siwei's slender body, but it seems to have no weight; When the little jailer let go of his hand, he found that Lin Siwu's waist was even more straight than Fang Cai!
Lin Siwei walked up the steps of the prison in shackles, only to see that the front hall of the prison was already full of fierce and well-armored anti-anxiety troops.
Drink...... Bah!
A strong man with a beard on his face took a few steps forward, spit out a mouthful of yellow phlegm, and landed directly on Lin Siwu's silver hair; And Lin Siwei was humiliated by this, but he stood still, looked at the worry-relieving army quite strangely and asked:
"Do I know you?"
"Hmph, Lao Tzu recognizes you! My sworn brother Wang Zhi and one hundred and nineteen brothers of the Relief Army died at the hands of you Youbei dogs! Don't look at your age, you are a woman, but if you don't have to be kept to be tried, Lao Tzu will kill you alive immediately! ”
Lin Siwei really thought about it carefully for a while, and then said to him firmly:
"It's not about me."
With a crisp sound of "pop", I saw that the blood-red spies of the Worry Relief Army rushed forward again and slapped Lin Siwei hard! If it weren't for the heavy weight of the wooden flail and shackles, I'm afraid Lin Siwei wouldn't just be as simple as falling to the ground.
The rest of the worry relief army saw that he was really angry, and they stepped forward to tear and block it; Lin Siwu staggered to his feet, pumped the blood gushing out of his nose, slowly moved his neck, and continued to walk out of the door without saying a word.
Since Lin Siwei is being held in the prison of Dali Temple, it is reasonable that Dali Temple should be responsible for escorting him for today's arraignment. And the soldiers who are responsible for escorting the prisoner cart today, although they are all from Dali Temple, it is true; But this group of worry relief troops who should not have appeared in Nankang City also came to escort prisoners.
This time, the Relief Army dispatched a full 500 men; Moreover, except for the two generals and lieutenants on horseback, each soldier was armed with a new three-eyed fire gun, and the defense force could be said to be extremely strong.
And the prisoner car responsible for transporting Lin Siwei is also the traditional system of the Beiyan Criminal Department. There are only two types of prison carts, one for male and one prisoner. And the prisoner car that Lin Siwei was riding in was the smaller female prisoner car.
As the saying goes, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion. The classic style of torture instruments of the Northern Yan Dynasty is also a stroke of carpentry that should be written in thick ink and color. Of course, the comfort of this kind of prisoner car and flail is impossible to talk about; But in terms of functionality, it fully meets all the needs of the main family.
First of all, both male and female prisoners, as long as they enter the prison cart with a flail and are taller than the standard, they can barely stand on tiptoe; If you are of average stature, or a little shorter, then you can only hang in the prison car.
Moreover, because there is a special splicing structure between the flail and the car wall, once the prisoner enters the prisoner car, the neck hole of the flail will be tightened out of thin air. It is also this inconspicuous button that can curb part of the function of the throat; It's not a problem to barely catch your breath, but it's impossible to yell and talk nonsense during the escort.
And those who are emaciated, if their nose is clear, do not have difficulty breathing; But because the feet are hanging in the air, the lower jaw will naturally be dead against the flail. In this way, you can't even open your mouth at all, how can you cry out for grievances?
Lin Siwei, who had already changed into a prison uniform, had his gray bun completely broken up; The strand of stain on the hair was already hanging down on the sideburns, which looked dirty and conspicuous. She was pushed by four small officials and was half-framed and half-carried into the prisoner's car; After the four corners of the flail fell down, and a slight "click" sound, the four officials let go and left the vicinity of the prisoner cart. And Lin Siwei hung his feet in the air, and his chin was also pressed against the flail, and his mouth was completely sealed.
Five hundred worry-relieving soldiers wearing three-eyed fire guns had already cleared the streets along the way. However, these people did not take any strong measures against the onlookers on both sides of the street. They only ordered the guards of Jiankang to set up their guns in front of them and use them as a cordon; As long as this "line" is not crossed, the people will see it however they like, and no one will care at all.
The onlookers of Jiankang City also showed good quality at this time; Everyone obediently stood outside the "red line", stretching their necks in anticipation.
It didn't take long for a sharp-eyed descendant to point in the direction of Dali Temple and shouted:
"Phew! Here it comes! ”
After his shout, the crowd of onlookers, who were still talking, immediately became silent; Everyone stood on their tiptoes and looked into the distance. I saw that under the escort of a team of anxiety relief troops, a slightly dilapidated prisoner car was slowly driving in his direction......
Lin Siwei, who was locked in the prison car, was originally in a state of closed eyes; But she could hear the surprisingly clean on the long street, which also made her feel a little curious, and slowly opened her eyes.
I saw that on both sides of the street and on the roofs of the alleys, they were already crowded with onlookers; Everyone is watching themselves with excited eyes; Among these people are old and young, men and women; Despite the crowds, each of them still carried a cloth bag or bamboo basket on his hand. There are also many attentive people who have already put what they have brought on their heads......
This moving picture fell on Lin Siwu's eyes, and it also caused a ripple in her original heroic mood of generously dying......
"Youbei thief woman, taste the power of our Chudi man!"
On both sides of the lonely street, such a sentence suddenly came out of nowhere; Immediately after that, an egg jumped high, drew an arc in mid-air, and landed in front of Lin Siwei, who was almost about to cry.
Lin Si turned her head in surprise, trying to find the person who threw the egg at her; However, in the next moment, the deafening shouts and curses rushed into the sky, and countless rotten vegetables and daily garbage rushed straight to his prisoner car.
In fact, the texture of rotten vegetables has become very soft; And things like egg bones are just the surface; But these "weapons" that don't have much lethality continue to fall on Lin Siwei's body like raindrops, and they also threw her hot heart into the ice cave in an instant......
This ingeniously constructed old-fashioned prisoner car slowly moves along the street where everyone shouts and beats; And Lin Siwei, an enemy spy who was being scolded by tens of thousands of people, even raised a slight arc at the corners of his mouth covered by hair:
It turns out that what my sister said is right, I really think about this world wrongly......
