The county jail was gloomy, there was no sunlight in sight, and the smell was unusually bad. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhong Hao was taken to a cell in the corner by two large prison guards, pushed Zhong Hao into the cell, locked the cell door, and went by himself.

Zhong Hao took a peek at this cell, the environment was slightly stronger than the cell he had seen when he came from the corridor of the prison just now. The cells were messy, and some even held more than a dozen people. It seems that just now I secretly gave the head of the cell who arranged the cell from under his sleeve with the usual amount of money on his body, which played a role, at least this cell is a double room.

There was a broken bed covered with straw in each of the two corners of the cell, and on one of the beds, there was a person lying on it, with Zhou Zheng with long eyebrows and eyes, holding a straw in his mouth, and holding Erlang's legs, and he was also looking at Zhong Hao at this time.

When the man saw Zhong Hao coming, he said, "Boy, what's your name?" What did you do? ”

Zhong Hao hurriedly said: "Junior brother Zhong Hao, he was framed for some reason. ”

"Hey, your surname is Zhong too? My name is Zhong Cheng, a native of Zhongjiazhuang. ”

"Ah, it turns out to be my own family! The eldest brother is on top, and the younger brother is worshipped! "Not far from Qingzhou City, in front of Yaowang Lake at the foot of Yaowang Mountain, there is a big Zhuangzi called Zhongjiazhuang, Zhong Hao has heard of it, mainly because of the same surname, and paid more attention to it.

"Hehe, brother, tell my brother how people framed you, what did they frame you?"

"Someone himself stoned his head open, but his accomplices falsely accused him that I had beaten him to serious injury!"

"Tsk, this method of framing people is simple and crude. However, with the appearance of a weak scholar like you, you beat people to serious injuries, and no one believes them when you say it, does the county lord believe it? ”

Zhong Hao said with a bitter face, "Yes, the little brother has no power to restrain the chicken, saying that I beat the bitter master to a serious injury, how is this possible, anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong." But the county lieutenant Zheng turned a blind eye to this, and forced the younger brother to admit his guilt, and if he didn't admit his guilt, he would be punished! ”

"It seems that brother, you have offended people, this Zheng County Lieutenant is obviously manipulating you!"

"Alas, but the little brother is honest and honest on weekdays, and he really can't think of anyone who offends and wants to put himself to death!"

"Then you have offended Lieutenant Zheng!"

"The little brother and Zheng County Wei have never met, how can they offend him!"

"Hehe, you're a funny kid, and you came in in a daze. It's okay to be idle, come and talk. Our family, to meet in this prison, can be regarded as fate! ”

Although Zhong Hao was apprehensive in his heart, he couldn't think about it for the time being, so he sat on the edge of the broken bed and chatted with Zhong Cheng.

Although Zhong Cheng is also a scholar, he is not a literati, but he is also open-minded.

According to Zhong Cheng himself, his family is as beautiful as a flower. He went out to study the year before last, and he didn't return until this year, and when he came back, a friend told him that his family was secretly messing with a handsome man in a troupe.

So Zhong Cheng secretly followed his Hun family, and found out that there was something wrong with this matter, and he couldn't help but be furious. But he didn't lose his mind in anger, thinking that the servant was the master martial artist in the troupe, and he was a literati, although he had also learned the archery and royalty in the six arts, but he was afraid that he would not be able to beat him, so he hired a few strong martial arts fighters to kill the adulterer and adulterer together during the tryst. Unexpectedly, those few young hands were not good at doing things, leaving their heads and tails, and Zhong Cheng was found by the official Shun Teng, so he was arrested and put in prison.

However, Zhong Cheng said nonchalantly: "It's just a murderous adulterer, that adulterer is still a cheap servant, it's not a big deal, and he can't be sentenced to death." I am a state school student and a scholar, so if it is a big deal, I will be deprived of my school status and sentenced to a mismatch. But I always have a bad breath, and my heart is happy. ”

This Zhong Cheng speaks and does things freely, not like a literati, but more like a rough soldier.

After listening to Zhong Cheng's matter, Zhong Hao told his own affairs again and asked Zhong Cheng to help with the staff.

After listening to this, Zhong Cheng muttered: "It seems that brother, you have inadvertently offended some big shot." This person's energy is not small, even the third-in-command of the county government like County Lieutenant Zheng can be used by him, it seems that he wants to put you to death, this time I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to get out! Zhong Cheng said with a big grin, and suddenly found that Zhong Hao's face was tight, very ugly, and he hurriedly comforted: "This is also a random guess by my brother, don't be too nervous, scare yourself, no matter how bad your situation is, you didn't kill anyone on the spot, and you are just like my brother, and I will be sentenced to a mismatch!" ”

Zhong Hao said in his heart: I didn't hire a murderer to kill my wife, do you compare me with you? Nima, let's talk about a mismatch, my life is basically over, are you comforting? There are a few people who are as bachelor and free as you, I still want to live a good life in Da Song, I don't want to be sentenced to be a mismatch or something.

However, people were kind enough to persuade him, and he couldn't help but appreciate it, and Zhong Hao barely squeezed out a smile and said: "What my brother said is that the younger brother is too nervous, alas, the younger brother has never done anything to commit adultery, the so-called lane must have a road in front of the mountain, see the move." ”

"It's good to open up if you want to, there is no hurdle that can't be overcome."

For the rest of the time, Zhong Hao chatted with Zhong Cheng about each sentence, and at the same time wondered who he had offended.

I have been in the Great Song Dynasty for less than half a year, and I have never caused trouble, when did I offend the big guys?

Zhong Hao thought hard and couldn't figure it out.

At noon, a jailer came to deliver rice, and each person had a bowl of brown rice that had not been cleaned of sand.

Zhong Cheng seems to be used to it, and he eats brown rice as soon as he comes, and he doesn't feel like sand and teeth. Zhong Hao held the bowl of brown rice, but he couldn't eat it.

Zhong Hao banged on the bars of the cell, attracting a jailer to him.

"Big brother, can you help bring a message and let the family bring some food, this meal...... It's hard to swallow! ”

"Hey, I said that you scholars, you are all in prison, and you are still so poor...... Let's eat it", and then the jailer pretended to be solemn and said: "Besides, you are a big case of hurting people, and you can't pass on the news until the verdict is made!" ”

Zhong Hao said in his heart: How can there be such a rule, murderers can let the family deliver food, it seems that this jailer is also taking care of himself.

So Zhong Hao hurriedly said: "Don't let the big brother work in vain, the little brother is willing to pay the 'leg and foot money' of the consistent money!" ”

The jailer smiled and said, "Yo, your kid is not very old, but he is quite good, okay, then brother, I will be tired after I get off duty." ”

"Then after the eldest brother gets off duty, he will go to the natural residence, and tell the shopkeeper Gao that his master is in the county prison and ask them to send some food!"

"Master?" Some of the jailers muttered, and they didn't know which master Zhong Hao was the master of the high shopkeeper. However, when the jailer heard that Zhong Hao had let him go to the natural residence, his eyes lit up. "Okay, my brother will go when he gets off duty! But my brother doesn't want any 'leg money', so he asked the shopkeeper Gao to let me put a table in the natural home! ”

Nowadays, the life of the natural home is hot, and the money in the natural home is really not enough for a good table of money, and the natural home is not rich to set the table now, because its table booking bamboo cards have long been sent to the end of the year. This jailer doesn't want to keep money, and wants to go to the natural house to set up a table, but he will definitely not suffer.

Zhong Hao was under the eaves, so he naturally had no bargaining capital, and immediately said: "Okay, then I will send the eldest brother!" ”

When this jailer is on duty, I am afraid that the gate of the county jail will also be closed. It doesn't matter, the county jail does not allow family members to visit the prisoner at night. I am afraid that the wine and rice of the natural residence will not be eaten until tomorrow, and Zhong Hao, who only ate a few pieces of hawthorn cake in the morning, was also very hungry at this time, so he had to pick up the bowl of brown rice to fill his stomach.

Zhong Cheng saw Zhong Hao gritting his teeth to deal with the bowl of brown rice, and couldn't help but persuade: "Brother, bear with it, Mencius is not a cloud: the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skins." I don't think my brother is a mediocre person, so it's a good thing to do. ”

Zhong Cheng's persuasion this time was to the point, Zhong Hao nodded and responded: "Well, thank you brother for dialing, this little brother can still eat this bitterness." The younger brother wants someone to deliver food, because he wants to communicate with the outside world, but he doesn't have to care about this meal. "Zhong Hao has suffered a lot since he was a child, and he has suffered a lot since he was a child, but he is not a person who can't endure hardships.

For a whole afternoon, Zhong Hao spent a whole afternoon chatting with Zhong Cheng.

The autumn night was very cold, and Zhong Hao, who was lying on the bed and sleeping in his clothes, had to cover the bed with a torn quilt full of black stains.

Zhong Hao was on the broken bed in the cell, tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep, in his previous life and in this life, it was the first time to spend the night in the cell.

However, Zhong Hao saw that Zhong Cheng was sleeping soundly, and he admired this guy's uninhibited and uninhibited.
