Chapter 19: A Walk in Prison

Is the prefect's yamen lying, or is the prince lying? I have a vague feeling that things are not so simple.

If it's not to find someone to top the bag, then what are these beggars for? After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with a reason.

At this time, a beggar ran in in a panic, looking anxious and almost out of breath.

"My lord, my king, I saw the thin monkey, he said...... Say ......"

"Don't panic, drink saliva first and speak slowly. How did you see the skinny monkey, isn't he in prison? ”

"Yes, in prison, I climbed over the wall to get in."

Hearing this, I broke out in a cold sweat. Although the prison of the Ming Dynasty did not have a power grid, it was easy to climb in, but it was difficult to escape out.

"The thin monkey said that this matter was aimed at the king, and he tortured them repeatedly, just to ask them to bite you out, but none of them coaxed it."

I didn't do anything illegal when they came to me! Build guns? No wonder King Binh Duong lied to me.

The Hanako have a very unanimous opinion, let me run away immediately, but where can I run? I don't have a cousin in the Taiwan Sanlian Gang.

I hadn't slept all night, and my mind was full of whips, soldering irons, and all the stuff. They didn't coax the skinny monkeys, but I'm not sure I would. But I still decided to go to the yamen tomorrow morning, and I have been living for a lifetime, and I can't live like a person, so let's die a heroic death.

With this determination, I beat the big drum in front of the yamen.

In the face of severe torture, iron-clad, righteous and awe-inspiring, unyielding, and death-seeking, with a whip, these adjectives have nothing to do with me.

"Don't fight, I'll move, I'll move."

"Then let's recruit it!"

"What are you going to do, you have to ask."

The two officials looked at each other and said to themselves: "This kid is too fast, and he hasn't said anything yet!" ”

Oh my God! Fortunately, my brother was quick to coax, otherwise I don't know how unjust I would have died.

After a while, Wu Zhengxing personally came to interrogate, and it seems that my face is not small. He spent all the officials, leaving only a head catcher for the record.

"Say it! How did the king of Pingyang collude with the bandit leader Wang Cao of Qingfeng Village in Lei Gongshan to rebel? ”

The matter of making guns is on his lips, if he hadn't asked like this, he would probably have shaken it out.

Knowing that it wasn't a matter of checking for guns, I was greatly relieved, but how did this basin from Qingfeng Village get on my head?

"My lord, you said that the king of Pingyang colluded with the bandits to rebel, but what does that matter to me?"

"You are his accomplice, this is a secret letter found from your men, the evidence is conclusive, and you cannot deny it."

"Which of my subordinates? Can you call me and explain it in person? ”

"That man is extremely cunning, he has been arrested and captured quickly, and he doesn't want to let him escape on the way to escort him, but all the same party has been arrested, and they are all beggars in your broken temple."

I kind of get it.

I didn't expect the "slut" to dare to rebel! At first, I thought he was just obsessed with it, and he just had to build a gun and come out to play, after all, there were only a few family members under him, and each of them would be worthy of Gatling!

"Zhang Lao Liu, do you admit it, do you recruit or not?" Wu Zhengxing asked loudly.

The recorded head catcher also helped on the side: "This kid is playing tricks, I think I have to go through the guy first." ”

Hooks, whips, soldering irons, and clamps were seen on the ground...... The strong desire to survive stimulates the blood in the whole body to rush to the brain, and he quickly thinks about how to escape death.

"My lord, you know that I haven't been with the king of Pingyang for a long time, so I will show him the physiognomy, calculate the hexagram or something, how can I know the important things, but as long as the adults can look at it, the little ones are willing to wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, go undercover by the side of the king of Pingyang, and find out the situation clearly and report it to the adults."

Wu Zhengxing seemed to be a little interested in my idea, and stroked his beard and thought about it.

But the catcher immediately objected: "My lord, don't trust this person, I'm afraid that as soon as he goes out, he will run away." ”

"If I wanted to run, I would send it to the door myself?"

I took the opportunity to increase the firepower and said: "The king of Pingyang is the prince, if you don't have real evidence, I'm afraid that when the time comes, not only will you not be able to make meritorious contributions, but you will be accused of framing the imperial family." I'm a little beggar, and my death is no different from a dog, but it's a pity that adults missed the opportunity to make a name for themselves. ”

Wu Zhengxing was finally moved by the words, and said to me: "Let's believe you once, even if you run away, there are only many dogs in the world." It's just that you just got out of prison like this, and the king of Pingyang can't suspect you? I didn't catch you before, I was just afraid of startling the snake. ”

The head catcher interjected: "Why don't you come up with a bitter meat plan?" ”

"No, no, no, my lord, let's come up with a beauty plan!"

They ended up ignoring my right advice.

The wound from the whip was so painful that I lay on the bed and didn't dare to move at all, but when I saw Ying'er's distressed face, I suddenly felt that everything was worth it.

The beads of sweat on my head fell down one by one, but I just didn't say a word, man!

After rubbing the medicine, I saw that Ying'er's eyes were red, so I asked her, "Is it because you feel sorry for me?" ”

"Why do you feel sorry for you, there are more people in the world, and I can't feel sorry."

"Then why are you crying?"

"I'm reminded of something sad."

Growing so big, apart from my mother, I don't remember any other women who felt sorry for me. Does distress mean loving someone? Is it true that being loved is how I feel now, like the sunshine in winter, soft and warm?

"Listen to them, you're interesting to me."

"That's Yan'er nonsense, she just likes it."

I don't know if it's because of me or because of Yan'er, she suddenly got a little angry, picked up the ointment and went out.

I lay on the bed and watched her back.

After a while, the prince came in and poured me a glass of wine, which was fragrant. He drank the wine in his hand and asked me, "What do you think of me as a person?" ”

I said, "Not good! ”

He sneered and said, "I admire you very much, for the sake of a few beggars under you, you dare to go to the prison." ”

"They put their lives on the line for me."

"And why?"

Yes! Why? I've been on a lot of construction sites, I've gotten along with a lot of people, and no one has ever cared about me, only this group of beggars really treats me as a relative, but I don't know why.

"I shouldn't lie to you, but I do have a hard time."

"No need to explain, although you are lying to me, I will not lie to you. I was able to come out because I promised to be an undercover agent for Governor Wu. He found out the correspondence between you and Wang Cao, but he still doesn't know anything about making guns. ”

"The letters were written by Wang Cao, and they were all black words, and it was useless to hold them. Since you can be honest with each other, I promise I won't lie to you again. As for the undercover matter, only the two of us know, and we will plan it in the future. ”
