The so-called life is full of learning. Cheng Mingzhen didn't believe in this before, but now he admires the perception of his predecessors. With the performance of Li Laojiu, Lin Xianling, Jiang Ye and others, the old blind man slowly guided him, and soon firmly engraved the four-character mantra of "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting" in his heart.

One old and one young talk about it, and unconsciously forget the time. It wasn't until a small prisoner brought in the meal with a smiling face that it was already evening. The old blind man took out two thumb-sized silver beans from the straw and stuffed them into the clothes of the little cell. Then he gently pointed to the iron chain on Cheng Mingzhen's body. The other party immediately understood, took out the key to release the iron lock, and then begged with a smiling face: "If the boss comes to check, Young Master Cheng can be clever and bring the shackles in advance." The brothers knew that Young Master Cheng was wronged, but the brothers' jobs were not easy to come by! ”

"Get out there and buy cat urine. Remember to put away the dishes and chopsticks from the previous meal! The old blind man's eyes turned pure white again, and he kicked in the direction in which the little prisoner was speaking, but "accidentally" kicked it into the air. The little prison had already been fed by him from a wild dog to a domestic dog, and he didn't think it was angry at all, and he smiled and put away the leftovers from the previous meal.

After dinner, the master and apprentice lay down on the couch and the other collapsed. But they didn't close their eyes, and through intermittent chit-talk, they slowly shared some knowledge and experience. The old blind man's knowledge is extremely complicated, and almost all of them are excellent in the art of war, Confucianism, pun literature, and songs. Some topics have just begun, and the old man can immediately tell a bunch of truths that he has never heard of, and every sentence is full of insight.

The more he listened, the more excited Cheng Mingzhen became. I almost forgot that I was in prison at this time, desperate to draw nourishment from the other person's words. And although the old blind man is old, he is very energetic. Jue Cheng is famous and teachable, in a good mood, and answers all questions, every word is fine.

It wasn't until their voices were so hoarse that they couldn't speak, and the two drank some water and went to sleep. The next day, I woke up early, one continued to teach with my heart, and the other continued to study hard.

The day was uneventful again. Li Laojiu was busy arranging for his descendants to dig caves and dig out treasures, and he had no time to find trouble with Cheng Mingzhen. Other small prisoners can also count on Li Laojiu's fingers to make some surplus money, and they are respectful to Master Cheng Mingzhen. For some reason, after the poisoning failed, the people of the Zhou family did not continue to entangle, as if Cheng Mingzhen was dead, and ignored him.

Three days of peace passed in a row. The wounds on Cheng Mingzhen's body have scabbed and are no longer painful. When the old blind man saw that he was almost recovering, he wrote down some mantras for him to memorize while others were not paying attention. Those formulas are all rare martial arts know-how, although Cheng Mingzhen can't understand them for the time being, with the martial arts skills he laid when he was a child, he can identify the truth and falsehood. When I saw it, I was surprised and delighted, and I even chattered about the time I spent squatting on the toilet, lest I remember a word wrong about the master's teaching.

When he was young, his family was in the middle of the road, and the most regrettable thing was that he didn't have the money to ask a good teacher for guidance. At this moment, you suddenly get a learning opportunity, how dare you not cherish it? After a few days of "madness", the physical strength of the master and apprentice could not support it. I had to put my studies down for a while, and we both went to rest for a few hours, and then slowly communicated.

While he was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, there was another rush of footsteps outside the cell door. At this moment, Cheng Mingzhen had already engraved the four-character mantra in his heart, and it was inferred from the footsteps that his heart was full of fear, and he couldn't help muttering to himself, "Isn't Li Laojiu busy with money?" Why did you come here again? Could it be that he is really unlucky, digging up the treasure and getting angry? ”

Without waiting for him to make a correct judgment, as soon as the door of the prison opened, the archer Jiang Ye ran in with a snowflake. Three steps and two steps to the fence door that closed an old and a young, while crying, kowtowed heavily, "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Cheng, the little one has eyes and no beads, and I don't recognize your old real body." Damn the small, damn the small. I'm sorry for the little ones! The small one meant to make you a cow and a horse, but I beg you to let go of the small family. The small one kowtows to you, kowtows to you! ”

Cheng Mingzhen was secretly putting the iron chain on himself, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but stop his hand in the middle, turned over and sat up, and asked in a low voice: "What did Master Jiang say?" Why can't I understand a word? I'm on death row, how could I provoke your family? ”

"You don't have to understand. You don't have to understand. You just have to send a message to the outside world and say that you don't blame me. "The archer Jiang Ye's usual majesty can no longer be seen at all, a handful of snot, a handful of tears. The moment he raised his head, the scars on his face were clearly visible. Obviously, he was just cleaned up by someone heavy-handedly, and even his courage was broken.

"I really don't understand what you're talking about. Spread the word to the outside world, to whom? Cheng Mingzhen became more confused and replied with a frown.

Seeing that he refused to forgive himself, Jiang Ye stood up suddenly, took out a small knife from his arms, and pressed it his choked throat, "The surname is Cheng, I have indeed hurt you." But it was instructed by others, and I didn't dare not do it. My wife and two children didn't provoke you. When you were suffering, I didn't send anyone to deal with your wife. The two of us have a head for injustice, and a debtor has a master. If the prisoner surnamed Chiang is in your hand, he will atone for his sins with death. My son and daughter ......"

At this point, the courage he had finally mustered disappeared again, and he scratched his neck with a trembling hand, squeezed out a wisp of blood, and cried and prayed: "Is it not possible for me to die for you?" I redeem my life. Your boss has a lot, let my wife and children go! ”

Cheng Mingzhen was so annoyed by his crying that he simply took off the chain in his hand again, threw it heavily on the ground, and asked sharply, "I'm a prisoner, how many days have I not been out." How to threaten your wife and children? You're so confused, you want to save people, but you also have to find the right place? What can I do if I am a prisoner who has not seen the light of day? ”

"You're not a prisoner! You are always wronged, and the villain is willing to prove your innocence. The prefectural magistrate is also discussing with the chief bookkeeper. It is estimated that in half an hour, he will personally come to pick you up from prison! ”

What is it and what is it? Cheng Mingzhen became more dizzy. Just in a daze, he suddenly heard a soft sigh from the blind man, and immediately remembered the four-character mantra of "looking, hearing, asking, and cutting". Pretended to hesitate for a moment, and said to Jiang Ye in a low voice: "Actually, I don't want to hurt your family. But you waited too much for the past. In this way, I can't control the situation outside. Tell me first which brother kidnapped your family. I'll give him another order to release him immediately!" ”

"Alas, alas, Master Cheng, you have a lot. The little one who will be a cow and a horse in the next life will also repay you! When the archer Jiang Ye heard this, he immediately stopped his tears. gave Cheng Mingzhen a deep look, and then couldn't wait to say: "You have already bowed to Zhang Da, why didn't you say it earlier?" If we had known, we would not have dared to carry out the dictates of the prefectural magistrate with a hundred dares! In the past few days, the brothers of Zhang Da's family have put down more than 30 men in the city, so frightened that the people of the Zhou family did not even dare to go out of the gate. The little one wanted to say hello to them and tell them that you were safe and sound. But the action was too slow, and as soon as they were in a hurry, they invited my family, the wife of the prefectural magistrate, and the two family members of the headhunter away......"

I call Zhang Jin a brother? Cheng Mingzhen was shocked in his heart, but he didn't dare to show half surprise on his face. A prison disaster taught him a lot, and Master taught him a lot of tricks about dealing with people. At this time, Cheng Mingzhen knew that the more calm he was, the safer he was. Zhang Jin said that he would definitely not come to save himself, but his own safety had been firmly tied to the tail of Zhang Da's family.

"Cheng Ye, Cheng Ye, you can give a quasi-word. I don't ask you to release the little ones immediately, but I beg your brothers not to let the children suffer. The two of them in my family have been used to since childhood, and they have never been touched by half a finger......" Jiang Ye's pleas continued to come, pulling Cheng Mingzhen's thoughts back to reality.

"You go out and tell outsiders that my grievances are about to be revealed, and I have not suffered any trouble in prison. When my brothers hear this, they will definitely treat Ling Lang and Ling Ai well! "There is clearly no half of the minions under his command, but Cheng Mingzhen has to pretend to be garlic.

The archer Jiang Ye was like being amnestied and went with a thousand thanks. Before Cheng Mingzhen had time to ask his master whether he had handled it properly, there was another gust of wind outside the prison door, and Lin County's order, Dong Zhu's book, and the two head catchers rushed in with smiling faces. Ignoring the look of surprise on the faces of the prisoners, all the officials knelt down in front of Cheng Mingzhen in turn, kowtowing more than once, "We have no eyes, and we have wronged Cheng Ye." Damn, shit. Fortunately, Cheng Ye was blessed and did not suffer any major injuries. Otherwise, even if I die a hundred times, I will not be able to atone for my sins. ”

After that, he immediately ordered someone to open the cell door and hugged Cheng Mingzhen to get out of prison. Cheng Mingzhen knew that he had to hold on, so he waved his hand and commanded in a low voice, "If my master is not out of prison, how can I get out of prison." Let's go, I'm going to be here with Master!" ”

"Master?" Lin Xianling's eyes widened. wanted to do it, but thought of the tens of thousands of bandits outside the city, swallowed and spit, and said with a smile, "When did Master Cheng recognize Master?" We can't afford to miss such a happy event. Since it is Cheng Ye's master, it must be an unjust case. Come, please come to the yamen and drink tea. Cheng Ye's master is the master we are waiting for! ”

It's really shameless to shoot the sycophants on this part. The old blind man refused to appreciate it, turned over on the couch, and said in a low voice: "It's good here, I'm used to it, I don't want to move." Go ahead and don't bother me! ”

He refused to leave, and Cheng Mingzhen naturally won't leave. Several parents, uncles, officials and men in Guantao County looked at each other and hesitated for a long time before muttering: "The old man likes the quietness here, and I shouldn't have waited forged." But if Cheng Ye refuses to get out of prison, I am afraid that Zhang Da will be misunderstood. The safety of tens of thousands of people in Guantao County fell on Cheng Ye alone. Can you work harder and go to the county government with Cheng Ye. There are also plenty of empty rooms over there, so you won't be disturbed! ”

"Alas!" The old blind man sighed, as if he had lost something important, and his voice was full of loss. "Go, go. Who made my old blind man relent? It's a pity that it's a quiet day. Alas! ”

With that, he rolled over and sat up, shook his sleeves, and led out of the prison door. The footsteps are light and agile, where is there still half an old and blind appearance.

The officials were startled again, but the matter was urgent, and they didn't think too much about it. The stars surrounded Cheng Mingzhen like the moon and invited him out of prison. The two heads of the people were afraid that the "people" would not see them, so they sent people to sound the gong in front of the team and shouted loudly, "Cheng Jiaotou was wrongfully imprisoned, and the heavens are angry and resentful." The county magistrate has retried the case and cleared the wrongs of Cheng Jiaotou. Wait until you hear it clearly, Cheng Jiaotou has a life-saving grace for the people of our museum, and no one can forget it! ”

Although the people were too frightened to go out by the warning outside the city, they also heard it strangely, hiding behind the curtains one by one, pointing at everyone. Soon, someone recognized the old blind man and whispered, "Isn't that Duan Tiezui?" Why is he not blind? The legs and feet have become so neat."

"What do you know, these days, a good man can become a gangster, but a blind man can't open his eyes? Less talk and eat more, blessed are the dumb! Someone immediately took over the conversation and scolded in a low voice.

"That is, Cheng Jiaotou is such a hero, how could he step on the stinky shit of the big **. She sent it to the door herself, and Cheng Jiaotou may not pay attention to her! The county lord was really confused last time, and he actually opened his eyes and said nonsense! ”

"This time, that time. There were no bandits last time, didn't the bandits come again this time? ”

The chaotic discussion of the people made Lin Xian Ling like a thorn in his back, but he didn't dare to let the team go fast, lest Zhang Jin say that he would not get accurate information. finally managed to get to the gate of the county office, and Lin Deen immediately ordered someone to open the main gate to greet the gift of the errand and welcome Master Cheng Mingzhen in.

When they arrived at the second hall, a family had already prepared a banquet. Everyone pushed the old blind man to make a seat, and then arranged Cheng Mingzhen, Lin County Ling and Dong Zhushu, Guo Zhutou and Jia Zhutou in turn. As for the archer Jiang Ye and Li Laojiu, who was beaten into a pig's head like him, they didn't even get a seat, and stood at the bottom of the hall and were responsible for ordering wine and serving food for everyone.

"The case a few days ago was actually a misunderstanding!" The wine cup was raised, and Lin Xianling covered his face with the sleeve of his robe and apologized in a low voice, "I'm so confused, I didn't even see that others had framed me!" Master Cheng Zhuangshi has a lot, don't take it to heart. The position of the county is wrapped in me. Wang Zhutou has already brought back the approval, and from now on, Cheng Zhuangshi can take office! ”

"Congratulations to Master Cheng!"

"Congratulations to Master Cheng!" Deliberately not giving Cheng Mingzhen a chance to refuse, Dong Zhushu took Guo and Jia to hold their heads. At this moment, life is more important than everything, what is a little grievance?

In a congratulatory voice, Cheng Mingzhen's eyes looked around. He finally got the position of county leader. But now, does he still need this position?

Reciting Master's teachings in his heart, he smiled and asked, "Who framed me?" Why am I still confused? ”
