Chapter 17: The Disaster of Prison for Petitioning
Seeing Li Yitian fleeing with the official in a gray manner, everyone cheered, and Wang Guangxian and others, who had just arrived when they heard the news, shook their heads again and again, since ancient times, they were not afraid of the county officials, but only the current management, and now they are fleeing in ashes, and in the future, they will definitely falsely accuse Yang Lin of gathering crowds to resist and take the lead in making trouble, and if the matter is big, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.
Everyone is gossiping, some people bluntly say that if you don't do it, you just fall into the grass to do Yao Huang, and now Yao Huang occupies Dazhou, Bazhou, if everyone is corresponding in the name of paying taxes, it will definitely be able to echo Yao Huang.
Some people are worried that the government will send troops to suppress it, and now the governor Chen Shiqi is in Shunqing Fucheng, an important town in northern Sichuan, which is only more than a hundred miles.
After thinking about it, Yang Lin still decided to rush to Shunqing Mansion City to meet Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, so as not to ruin his reputation by the other party's secret operation.
Leaving Yang Wei, Yang Cheng, Long Zhijiao and others, they set off with torches before dawn with Wang Guangxian, all the way over the mountains and mountains, from morning to evening, the wind servants did not dare to stay at all, and arrived at Fucheng at dusk.
I took the last ferry across the Jialing River and came to Shunqing City.
Shunqing Mansion City is surrounded by water on three sides, and the north side is adjacent to the land township, it is an important town in the north of Sichuan over the years, the city wall is about two zhang high, and there is a row of soldiers standing by the city gate to check the passers-by.
Thinking that the government didn't pay attention to the normal investigation, who expected that after seeing Yang Lin, several soldiers rushed straight over, looking like arresting criminals.
Twenty meters away is the Jialing River, the water is rolling and can't escape at all, Yang Lin was grabbed by the arm of a soldier while struggling and retorted: "I'm Xiucai, I'm Pengzhou Gongsheng, why do you arrest people in broad daylight?" ”
An officer punched him in the stomach, and then scolded: "It's you hypocrite who is arrested, you bastard who takes the lead in inciting the people not to pay taxes." ”
Wang Guangxian, who was in the back, was in a hurry and admonished: "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, this brother Tai is also a scholar, why don't you arrest and scold people at every turn?" ”
The officer raised his palm and slapped Wang Guangxian firmly in the face and said: "Five beetles, I know that the most hated by the common people is the five beetles, this person who oppresses the people like a dog, and actually instigates the people to make trouble, this kind of person is heinous. ”
Han Feizi has classified some people as six beetles in the past, and he has also seen in textbooks in the past that in the last four years of the Ming Dynasty, the common people were unbearable and humiliated, and the government officials, royal family members, Haoqiang, and scholars were classified as five beetles, and in some places the people even took killing the five beetles as the slogan and started incidents.
Seeing that Wang Guangxian still wanted to defend himself, Yang Lin was worried that the two would be arrested at the same time and didn't even report the news, so he hurriedly said loudly: "As a soldier, Lao Tzu will not change his surname or change his name, Lao Tzu's name is Yang Lin, Chongzhen's thirteenth year governor was a talent when he was a scholar, and Chongzhen participated in the township test in the fifteenth year and was taken as a tribute student."
Don't look at Lao Tzu as a scholar, Liang Leopard, the star of Yao Huang's family who was a disaster a month ago, was caught by Lao Tzu.
Lao Tzu entered the city this time to meet the governor Chen Shiqi Chen, he is my teacher, don't you be embarrassed by others? ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and many people looked at Yang Lin in disbelief, and they couldn't imagine that the giant who was the one who was in trouble was killed by this scholar?
Guotianxing Liang Leopard and other cadres were killed in Fucheng half a month ago, when the inner and outer three floors were surrounded by people, and I didn't expect that Tianxing Liangbao was actually such a scholar.
Everyone didn't believe it, and Bai Chang Qian San even bluntly said that Yang Lin bragged, and the official clerk that day was Pengzhou Zhizhou Li Yitian led the crowd to smash the lair of the local tyrant and captured the bandit leader Liang Leopard in one fell swoop.
Yang Lin was most worried about being taken to a poor country by the corrupt official to harm him so silently, and he recounted the deeds of the day loudly along the way, in order to attract everyone's attention, sometimes it was inevitable to add fuel and vinegar.
Because the sound was too loud, there were actually many people around, and Yang Lin hoped that such a thing would spread so as not to be victimized.
But the miracle did not appear, he came to the cell of the prefect's yamen with shackles, dragged the heavy iron chains, saw the towering walls on both sides, smelled the pungent smell of sweat, and Yang Lin was thrown into the cell.
After the cell's vicious buttocks, a stumbling Yang Lin was pushed into the cell.
Looking at the seven or eight men in the cell, one by one, they bowed their heads and scattered, Yang Lin was so frightened that he retreated again and again, rushed to the door and shouted: "Let me out, let me out, Lao Tzu is above board, how can you lock Lao Tzu in this kind of cell?" ”
The prison sneered: "You stinky and shameless reader, you think that you have been reading for a few days and actually gathered to make trouble, you wait, wait for the ghost to come and collect you tonight." ”
Shocked in his heart, his body trembled, looking at the few skinny prisoners next to him, Yang Lin shook his head again and again: "Don't come, don't come, I'm a good person, don't come over." ”
A slightly tall man with a long scar on his face sighed: "You stinky readers, don't think you are superior, take a closer look, isn't that one of us a good person?" ”
Holding his chest tightly with both hands, Yang Lin shook his head and said, "Big brother, what a superior and a dwarf, we are all prisoners now, we are all friends in distress, yes, friends in adversity."
Tell me, what did you do and get caught? ”
Yao Chonglie's ancestral martial arts family opened a martial arts hall in Fucheng, and last year in the market, he met the chief son of the prefect's yamen official Fang Miao who was flirting and singing in the teahouse, and came forward to persuade the two to fight and injured Miao Gongzi.
After worrying for a few months, Yao Chonglie originally thought that the rumors had passed and he was back in charge of the pharmacy, but who knew that within two days, he was actually sent into the cell, although he spent his savings to save his life, but he just couldn't get out of this cell.
Everyone sighed for a while, there were more than 300 people living in these two rows of cells alone, some of them were like Yao Chonglie, some of whom got into a lawsuit, and some of whom couldn't pay Tian Fu and Ding Fu, who were detained and other family members who paid for their release.
Everyone has a sad thing, everyone has a handful of tears when they mention it, and now when they hear what happened to Yang Lin, everyone is indignant.
Or they were too tired and slept very well that night, and when they woke up, they were surprised to see the torn clothes covering their bodies.
Yao Chonglie picked up his clothes and put them on his body, and said nonchalantly: "Studying, we are all from humble backgrounds in martial arts, and our bodies are very strong, you are different, you are a showman with a thin body." ”
Yang Lin felt that his eyes were a little moist, and he opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
The cells went in and out, and the prisoners were constantly dragged out and thrown in, standing at the door of the cell Yang Lin in a daze.
As soon as he arrived in Fucheng, he was arrested, and it seems that the bureaucratic Xu clique headed by Li Yitian has joined forces to keep himself shut, facing a huge black hole, I don't know what kind of black hole awaits me?
and the same Wang Guangxian, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, does the other party know in advance? Will the other party find someone to rescue him?
His stomach sounded, the prison food was worse than that of a beggar, and he couldn't swallow it at all, Yang Lin closed his eyes and thought wildly.
