Chapter 41: The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit
Not to mention that Ximenqing and the others were eating and drinking happily outside, only Shen Zhongna was trapped in prison, thinking: "Lu Yu and that *** arranged such a trap to trap me, and now Lu Yu has his head cut off, but he took advantage of my heart, leaving only that ** life, and when I struggled out of the prison door to save my life, I would have dealt with her again, and Ximenqing, this matter must have his beginning and end, if it weren't for him, Lu Yu wouldn't have the courage to frame me."

The jailer in the prison was instructed by the magistrate of the county, and Shen Zhong had no money to work up and down, so he suffered a lot, put him in the prison, and kept him on his feet day and night; He also pinned the wooden button to his hands, couldn't move, and ate a killing stick in his spare time, so that it was not painful.
Tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, Shen Zhong not only suffered from the idle anger of the jailers every day, but even the prisoners in the prison, knowing that he had lost his former majesty and was a person who was about to die, also underestimated him, and while he was asleep, he had a good beating, and he had revenge for his past grudges.
Shen Zhong has only been in prison for a few days, and he is no longer human. In order to care for his life, this guy endured the humiliation, lost his face and asked people to find the officials he had befriended in the past, and told him where he had hidden the silver and the two, so that he had a place to speak.
"Brother Shen Zhong, the county government has been quite busy these days, and he is busy entertaining for his brother, so he takes less care of his brother, and he is not to blame."
Shen Zhong secretly sighed, I'm afraid I'm busy watching my jokes, in the past, when I made my career, this guy accompanied him with a smiling face when he saw him, calling himself a brother, but now he has become a brother. If you have to bow your head under the eaves, you will be called brother.
"Brother, brother, I got into a lawsuit, please save me."
"Shen Zhong is not that I don't care about the friendship of the past, it's really that you hated the county magistrate that day, and you were checked by Li Dutou and seized all the stolen goods, so there is really no place to speak." The card in the prison flicked the dust off his body and said.
Shen Zhong bowed and said: "The county magistrate is a noble person, and he doesn't take care of the prison, although I offended him that day, now I regret it, please ask my brother to say something good for me, besides, the big and small things in the prison are all handled by your brother, only you speak, and the one in the prison dares not to listen." "As for the combination of stolen goods, it's a fart, and Shen Zhongti didn't mention it.
"It's different from the past, your matter was personally ordered by the county magistrate, if I do too much, it's hard to explain to him. Besides, it also involves a human life, which is difficult. The head of the card sat on the wooden chair, holding a piece of white jade in his hand, and said without blinking his eyelids.
Shen Zhong lowered his head, his face was gloomy, and he snorted secretly, knowing that the card in front of him was a master who ate people and did not spit out bones. If you live, I'll give you a few dozen taels, and persuade me to feed the dogs, and save me from being idle here. "Brother, I am outside the city to the east of the eighteen miles of village, under the big locust tree at the head of the village, there are fifty taels of silver, now I will give it to my brother to make a tea money."
The head of the card sneered when he heard it, you have saved tens of thousands of family assets in the past few years, and now your life is in my hands, but you only take a few dozen taels and want to send me away, don't you think that you are a beggar on the street? Or do you think I look like a bodhisattva in the temple, you have to know that even if you are a bodhisattva, you have to take care of the incense money.
"Brother Shen Zhong, I won't tell you, it's not my brother I'm going to be greedy for your silver, it's just that fifty taels is not enough for the brothers in prison to share the profits, if you still have the silver, you should take it out early, I heard the news this morning, someone wants to take your life, just between morning and evening." This sentence is said unhurriedly, but the threat between the words is indeed real.
"Brother, it's not that you don't know, where do I still have the goods now, and the ones I give you now are all privately stored in the past, where is there any leftover, the ten thousand properties in my family, at this time, they are all called the slut** in their hands, if my brother can save me out, not to mention anything else, all the family assets in the family, I am willing to split it in two with my brother." Shen Zhong pretended to cry.
The head of the card raised his eyelids and glanced at Shen Zhong, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of disdain, and he didn't urge him, but just threw the white jade into Shen Zhong's arms and asked: "Shen Zhong, you are a knowledgeable person, look at the value of this piece of jade in my hand." ”
Shen Zhong was in the gambling house, and for jewelry and jade, he had already practiced his eyes, and after a cursory look, he said: "I'm afraid it's worth more than three hundred." ”
The card head nodded and said, "Do you know who gave me this thing?" ”
Shen Zhong's mind sank, gritted his teeth and shook his head, "The villain doesn't know." ”
"This is sent by your lady, saying that if it results in your life, there will be ten times as much treasure for me." After saying this, he paused here, and looked at Shen Zhongyin, who was still like that, and said miserably: "Shen Zhong, you are a knowledgeable person, to tell you the truth, if the person who wants your life in the county now is only the county magistrate, and your lady, with our past friendship, I will be thoughtful about how to treat you, although I can't atone for my sins, but I will never let you worry about your life, at most send you to the far evil military state, but now there are other people who want your life, do you understand?" ”
"Someone else? Isn't it Ximenqing's traitor? Shen Zhong slapped his head and shouted loudly. Without waiting for the head of the card to answer, he said to himself: "Yes, it is him, it must be him, that guy looks loyal, but in fact he is treacherous, he is a thief who does not want to die, he must be the result of my life, traitor, traitor, if he lives, I will definitely dig out his heart and lungs, so as to solve my hatred." ”
The head of the card picked up the fragrant tea in his hand, sniffed it gently, and didn't say whether it was to Shen Zhong's angry shouting, just waiting for him to calm down.
Shen Zhong roared at first, and then turned pale, he thought that the people in the county were worried about their family's goods, and they would never let themselves die easily, but if Ximenqing really wanted to kill himself, then he would really be in the middle of nowhere, but he would not worry about his goods. looked up at the card, gritted his steel teeth, clenched his fists, and drank in his heart, money is just something outside the body, life does not bring, death does not take it, as long as a life is left, anything can be exchanged back.
He gasped heavily and said: "Please also ask my brother to save my life, I am willing to give all the treasures I have hidden to my brother, but I ask my brother to be considerate." ”
The head of the brand tasted the fragrant tea in the tea bowl, how good it was to be so happy earlier, it was a waste of my tongue, but Ximen Qing carried the black pot for me, are there still few people you provoke on weekdays? How many people are going to kill you now.
"You're really a cunning rabbit, tell me, where are all your belongings buried?"
……………………
The original Shen family's mansion, at this time, there were a lot of people sitting in the house, all of whom were relatives of Shen Zhong's wife Liu, and now Shen Zhong was in prison, and Lu Yu, who had colluded with Liu, was killed again.
"Sister, it's not me who said, your matter is now spreading all over the county, and I can't live here, so let's clean up the house, sell the property, and go to Tokyo to join the second uncle."
"Yes, you took the lead this time and offended Shen Zhong's family so badly, if you let him struggle to survive, won't you come to your trouble? Besides, there are his brothers who generally don't want to die, who knows when they will come to the door, how to deal with you, a woman's family. “
Shen Zhong's wife, Li Shi, had already panicked in her heart, Lu Yu was killed in a wine shop, and she had already scared her soul, and she was chattering every day, afraid that someone would come and cut off his head.
Listening to the persuasion of her relatives left and right, she thought to herself: "Leave Yanggu." Although he left his hometown, he wanted to go to Bianzhou City, Tokyo, and with his appearance and this thousands of family wealth, he didn't have to worry about finding a good family. At that time, even if Shen Zhong survived, he would not dare to go to Bianliang City, Tokyo, to do anything to himself. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll take care of the courtesy, the heavy things in the house, and the shop, all of them will be sold."
"This is my good sister, these days, you just take care of your body, take care of your clothes, and sell your property, and you will leave it to me to take care of it, and I will definitely satisfy my sister." One of her clan brothers said with a smile. Selling these family properties, why don't you share the hard-earned money of one or two hundred yuan?
