Since the day he came to Anyi, the prisoner has no name, and the reason why he is called the prisoner is because when he talks about the past, he always scratches his head embarrassedly and says that he is "a person who knows the remnants of the sentence". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

So everyone called him "the torturer."

Everyone who has seen the prisoner will be deeply impressed by him, firstly, because a large red sore patch is densely distributed on his face and neck, and from this terrible appearance there is no age at all, and it can only be inferred from the unkempt gray beard under the chin that he is at least forty years old; The second is that he broke his right hand, and the entire palm of his hand disappeared from under the elbow, leaving only an empty sleeve fluttering in the wind.

Everyone speculated that he was really punished when the Zhi clan was in power in the past, and it is unknown what crime he committed.

After the demise of the Zhi clan, the prisoner was released, and just happened to meet Zhao Wei Han to divide the people of Xinjiang, he couldn't wait to run from Xinjiang to Anyi.

When asked why he came to Anyi, the prisoner's answer was very simple, and he said with a smile: "Anyi has endless salt." ”

"Is this a starvation of salt and hunger, so that he looks like this?" This made everyone laugh.

In the first few years of Wei's acceptance of the people of Xinjiang, they also chose people to make good use of their talents and made the best use of their talents, but people like torturers who were ugly, had no way, and had no outstanding skills, and after they came, they were assigned to pick up ashes on the street, that is, to clean up feces, urine and garbage. Because the Wei family likes to emulate the Zhao family in everything, the Zhao family has made the hygiene of Yecheng impressive, and the Wei family also wants to clean up Anyi, which has always had a reputation for dirty.

But in fact, like other densely populated towns of the same era, Anyi was a big garbage nest, especially in summer, and the streets were full of smells.

The prisoner wore a short dress, rolled up his sleeves, and went to dig out the garbage in the ditch, and sometimes the nobleman's carriage sped by, splashing a splash from the puddle, and drenching the prisoner's whole body, and he was not angry, but his face was dazed, until the carriage was far away, he did not say anything, and bent down to shovel away the hot horse manure with his left hand.

He worked like this for two whole years to collect ashes, and finally got promoted because of his outstanding performance, and went from the streets and alleys to work as a toilet painter in Wei's small official office......

……

It is not comparable to the 100 steps of a toilet in Yecheng, 50 steps and a minute, the toilet in Anyi is only used by officials, digging a big pit in the toilet, which is bottomless, covered with a wooden board or stone slab, leaving a large or small hole, and people squat on the top of the hole to solve it.

This kind of hole is definitely not a small hole, because one day at noon in 581 B.C., Jin Jinggong felt bloated after tasting new wheat, so he went to the toilet to poop, accidentally fell into the dung pit and died......

As a toilet in the government office, it naturally can't be as dirty as the outside, and the so-called toilet painters are the people who clean the toilets on weekdays.

Although he doesn't have to be in the wind and rain in the streets and alleys, it is still a lowly profession, and ordinary people will not be happy to do it, but the prisoner is willing, and in the summer when the toilet smells the most foul and unpleasant, he only wears a face towel, and ignores the writhing white maggots to dig out feces and flush the toilet.

Once, when he came out, he happened to bump into the Wei Ji Zai Ling Hu Bo of the Inspector's Office, and when the officials saw the prisoner coming out, they all pinched their noses and waved their hands to drive him away, because he really smelled like he had crawled out of a dung pit.

"It smells of and urine, and Hugh wants to get close to the bandit gentleman."

Ling Hubo was a little interested in this conscientious prisoner, and asked him a few words casually, praising him for the cleanliness of the toilet. Half a month later, perhaps because of Ling Hubo, the prisoner was promoted again, and this time, he was able to enter the Wei Mansion, and his profession was still to paint toilets.

"This person is loyal and honest, but I'm afraid that I won't notice the smell of it in the toilet for a long time." Ling Hubo laughed at Wei Ju like this, but Wei Ju didn't care, he didn't have time to put water in the toilet cleaned by the prisoner, so he went to Hexi, and then plunged there.

He was unaware of the coldness behind the convict's fearful gaze when he looked at him......

……

Wei's mansion is very large, accounting for one-fifth of Anyi, Wei people like to call it "Wei's Palace", the health inside is simply a day and a bottom compared with the city, the pavilions are continuous, the high platform that existed since the Yuxia era is undulating, and the garden is all over the place.

Comparatively speaking, there were more toilets, and the workload of the prisoner was twice as large, but he only had his turn to clean the toilets commonly used by the officials, erectors, and maids in the outer courtyard, but he could not even enter the inner courtyard.

It wasn't until this summer that the toilets in the inner courtyard were clogged and everyone had nothing to do, so they had to move "experienced" prisoners to deal with it.

Wei built a new toilet in imitation of the Zhao style outside the hall where the guests were entertained, designed a flushing toilet, and carved a flushing hose on the wall directly behind the toilet, and there were stone handrails next to the squatting position, which was quite humane. There are also small dried dates in this kind of toilet, which can make people plug their noses, and there are two maids holding sachets to serve outside, guiding the guests who have finished the toilet to enter the supporting "bathroom" next to the toilet, so that the nobles can bathe and clean their hands after convenience, and then change into new clothes, continue to go to the banquet, and feast.

The prisoner quickly unclogged the pipes of this toilet, and was praised and rewarded by the elder of the family, and from then on, he was in charge of the toilet in the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard is the place where the head of the Wei family and his close family, as well as various important guests live, and Wei Manduo is extremely suspicious, so he has a post at five steps and a post at ten steps, and the inventory is very strict.

As for the identity and origin of the prisoner, the Wei family elder also observed it for a period of time, but except for his early experience, which could not be verified, he did not find any problems.

Although the prisoner looks ugly, he is humble and wooden, he doesn't dare to fight back, he doesn't dare to scold back, he does whatever he wants, otherwise he won't do some work to pick up dust and paint the toilet, to put it bluntly, he is an honest man who is easy to be bullied, and when he is tempted at home, he is still very satisfied to say that although this work is dirty, he doesn't have to sleep in the open.

"Seems to be a man with little ambition." The elder of the family despised him, and after discovering the prisoner's special hobby, he was even more relieved.

The prisoner has no family, and his hobbies are probably wine and women.

But because of his timidity, the torturer didn't dare to look at the ladies in the Wei Palace, and when Wei's wife passed by, his head was tightly attached to the ground and never raised, and he didn't dare to flirt with the maids in the same courtyard, or because his appearance was too ugly, or because he was too ugly to become filthy, maybe once he grinned and approached the woman, he would be frowned by them and avoided it.

In short, the prisoner asked the elder of the family to go out once a month, on the grounds that he would meet friends, but the elder of the family had been followed, and the whereabouts of the prisoner were the female lu of Anyi, and it was also the female lu in the most chaotic alley. The kind of female Lu has the lowest grade, and only sweaty laborers will go, and they can come once for twenty yuan.

Most of the women there are old, with crooked eyes and crooked mouths, or they are sick, but ugly men like criminals are also suitable for that kind of consumption. Every time he went, he would find a woman, turn off the lights to vent, and then come back drunk.

After doing so again and again, the old family was relieved.

A person whose desires are so obvious, so useless, and so unambitious, just to paint a toilet, there is no way that anything will go wrong.

On October 10, the 22nd year of the Marquis of Jin, as usual, the prisoner applied to the elder of the Wei palace to go out, and the elder agreed absentmindedly.

According to the usual route, after the prisoner left the Wei Palace, he passed by the side of the market, although nearly ten days had passed since that chaos, Wei's nerves were still tense. The Wei pawn guarding the entrance of the city will stop every suspicious person for interrogation, but the leader knows the face of the prisoner, not to mention that he also has the waist card of the Wei Palace, so he frowned and waved his hand to let him pass, and no one looked at it at all.

The prisoner looked at the blood that had not been wiped clean on the ground, stepped over them, and lifted up his eyes.

He saw the cities, the streets, the alleys, and the distant city walls, and behind this false prosperity, the withered fields under the winter sun, the empty fields and forests that were devoured by locusts, and the people of Wei.

However, Anyi's female Lu has reopened, and there is a wine shop outside, and if you fancy the wine lady, you can pull it to the back to be happy, these wine girls are mostly rough barrels, or full of freckles, but for the hungry single laborer like the prisoner, it is a woman.

However, he did not rush in today, but suddenly turned into an alley, walked to a place that looked like an abandoned house, and knocked on the door four times in a layered tone.

After a few moments of the fourth sound, the door finally opened.

Holding a sword in his hand, Qingxia Duqiu looked at the prisoner coldly, a trace of disgust flashed on his face, motioned for him to come in, and then stretched out his head to take a look, then closed the door, and then said unceremoniously to the prisoner: "Where is Yu Rang?" He didn't say in his letter that he would come to me in person as soon as I settled my wife for him......"

"That's right, he's here in person."

The hoarse voice was like sand in his throat, and the prisoner raised his head, smiled and said nothing, but his eyes changed from innocent and blank to a little more radiant than before.

Du Qiu reacted suddenly, he froze, and looked the prisoner up and down, and this light man who had tears and did not flick was in tears.

"Boqian, you...... How did you become like this? “
