Chapter 21: A Call for Help

"Roar what, roar what! You've lived enough, what are you shouting in the middle of the night?! The jailer pointed at his nose and cursed.

"Hey, this poor master, where is the little girl who came in just now?" Li Ce asked urgently.

"Gone!"

"It shouldn't have gone far, please call her back, I have something to look for her."

"Damn, you are your slave, you will call me if you say you want me, I am not available! Stay with you! With that, the jailer turned and left.

"Slow, slow, come and come to the master, look!" Li Ce hurriedly took out the only few pieces of broken silver on his body and spread them in his hand.

"Huh? I can't believe you still have such a rare thing, hehe...... Not bad, not bad. As soon as the jailer saw the silver in Li Ce's hand, he immediately burst into flames and stretched out his hand to take it.

Li Ce retracted his hand suddenly, and he smiled and said, "I can't give it all to you now, hey, give you one piece first, you call that little girl back, and then give you another piece." ”

"You are a pedantic talent, you give it to the master all at once, and the master will call you." The jailer said greedily.

Li Ce shook his head, and only handed over a piece of silver, and the jailer reached out to take it, checked it, and said, "Okay, you keep another piece for the master for the time being, and the master will come to get it later." As he spoke, he turned around and hurried out.

Li Ce watched the jailer go out, feeling apprehensive in his heart, and prayed: "Cui'er, Cui'er, you must go slowly." ”

Yu San looked at Li Ce and asked, "What?" Got a way? ”

Li Ce took a breath and forced himself to calm down: "If the news arrives, there should be hope." ”

As soon as Yu San said this just now, Li Ce suddenly remembered the old man who was fishing, that is, the general, who had helped him a lot on the night of the Liao invasion, and he could see that he had a good impression of himself, maybe this person could save himself.

"By the way, does the third brother know who the guards of this Zhending Mansion are?"

"Well, the one guarding this place is Chen Yaozuo, the envoy of Hebei West Road, how do you know him?" Yu San said in surprise.

"What does this person look like?" Li Ce hurriedly asked, he estimated that the old man who was fishing should be the biggest local general - Chen Yaozuo.

"I haven't seen him either, but I've heard that this man is about forty or fifty years old, oh, a civil official, he is not a military general." Yu Sandao.

When Li Ce heard Yu San say this, he could basically conclude that that person was Chen Yaozuo. His mood at this time can be called like a year, and the waiting time of just a few minutes seems to him to be a few hours.

After about a cup of tea, the jailer came back, Li Ce hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, the jailer was followed by a little girl in a cloak, Li Ce hurriedly shouted: "Cui'er, this, this!" ”

"Well, Gongzi Li, Cui'er heard it." Cui'er replied.

When Cui'er came to Li Ce, Li Ce was just about to open the ** generation of Cui'er, and found that the jailer was still watching here, so he hurriedly took out the saved silver and handed it to the jailer and said, "I'm tired of the bad master." ”

The jailer took the money, smiled, and hummed a little song and walked away satisfied.

Li Ce saw that the jailer was far away, so he hurriedly pulled Cui'er closer and whispered: "Cui'er, I have something important to explain to you, don't be surprised, don't ask, there is no time to explain now, you just do what I say." ”

The little girl nodded as if she knew whether she knew how to do it, and Li Ce was overjoyed and said: "Now someone wants to put me to death, only one person can save me, that is, the guard who guards this place, it should be Lord Chen Yaozuo, after you go back to tell your young lady, ask her to find a way, and quickly inform Lord Chen, just say that Li Ce was framed and will be beheaded tomorrow, beg him to rescue." Do you understand? Did you write it down? ”

The little girl's eyes widened in horror and asked, "Childe......"

"Okay, don't ask why, do as I say, that's the biggest help for me, did Cui'er remember what I said?" Li Ce looked at her expectantly.

"Well, Cui'er made a note of it." The little girl nodded with a serious expression.

"Okay, without further ado, you can hurry up!" Li Ce instructed.

"Well, Childe, don't worry, I'll definitely bring the news." The little girl's face was resolute.

"Well, when I go out, I will definitely thank Xiao Cui'er well, go quickly." Li Ce coaxed.

"Well, Childe, you have to be more careful yourself, I'll leave now" After saying that, Cui'er turned around and trotted out.

Li Ce looked at Cui'er's figure and disappeared, and muttered to himself: Cui'er, you must bring the news.

Sleepless all night, Li Ce has been hoping that someone will save him, so he got up from time to time to look around this night, I have to say that this kind of torment is extremely uncomfortable, especially when you pin your hopes on others and you are completely powerless, this sense of helplessness becomes more and more intense.

Seeing that it was the second half of the night, but until now there was still no one to pick him up, Li Ce's heart gradually sank...... During this period, Yu San asked to take him to escape from prison several times, but Li Ce refused, and Yu San no longer insisted when he saw this, sighed, and lay back by the wall to stop asking.

The east was white, the sky was getting brighter, and the sunlight was refracted through the corridors of the cellβ€”it was already early in the morning. The jailer came to mention Li Ce to try the case, but the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were diligent and started working as soon as it was dawn.

Seeing that things are coming, Li Ce is not as anxious as before, since he doesn't see the savior coming, he can only rely on himself, he must not panic at this time, Li Ce secretly cheered himself up. I don't believe that Lang Lang Qiankun, that county in broad daylight allows a person to reverse black and white and confuse right and wrong. Besides, there are so many people who testify for themselves, and they will never be killed willingly!

When he came to the court, Li Ce was stunned, and then he understood why he had mentioned him so early! Because it was just dawn at this time, there were no people to watch at all, and the county order could completely decide the case by its own personal will! He didn't give the people a chance to talk at all!

In addition to the people from the yamen, there are Li Ce and Ding Cheng, and there is also a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed as a landlord, looking at his arrogant posture, especially looking at his vicious eyes, Li Ce guessed that this person is likely to be Ma Wencheng's father, Ma Fucai!

After Guo Xianling saw everyone coming to the court, he "snapped" and shouted: "Prisoner Li Ce, you are guilty!" ”

The county order and yesterday seemed to be like two people, and this morning's trial directly determined that Li Ce was guilty before he asked.

Although he was angry in his heart, Li Ce still held back his anger and said: "Xiaosheng doesn't know. ”

Guo Xianling seemed to expect Li Ce to say this, and said with a smile: "You don't know? Well, you don't have to be hard-mouthed, this official will convince you. ”

Li Ce looked at Guo Quanyao's ugly face, and only felt a burst of nausea, this person has a black heart and a thick skin, but he is afraid that the "chameleon" of later generations will not be able to compare with him.

After Guo Xianling finished speaking, he glanced at the middle-aged man standing under the hall and said with a smile: "Outside the horse, you ...... Can anyone have a certificate? ”

"Back to my lord, there are all the evidence and physical evidence of the grass people, so please take a look at it." The person under the hall is really Ma Fucai. Ma Fucai glanced at Li Ce fiercely, and his eyes hated to peel Li Ce alive.

"Okay, the witness is in court!"

At this time, an old man who was over the age of sixteen had a broken bag in his hand and walked up to the hall in a trembling manner. The old man cowered and walked to the hall, knelt on the ground without daring to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice while kowtowing: "Grass people...... Liu Laohan, have seen ...... I've seen adults. ”

"Well, Liu Laohan, this official asked you, yesterday you saw that Li Ce committed murder on the street and beat Ma Wencheng to death?"

"What, Ma Wencheng is dead?!" Li Ce was taken aback.
