Chapter 384: The Tiger Returns to the Mountain (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After being beaten with a crackling stick, sentenced to three years in prison, and sent back to the cell, now a group of prisoners like Liao Feng and Nie Wu enjoy quite high treatment. In such a place where felons are held, they were given several bottles of medicine to heal stick sores, and several buckets of water, which were the rarest in prisons! Although they can only apply medicine to each other, and there is no special doctor, it is of course much better than stiffness.
And Nie Wu, who had suffered a lot before, got his share of water and injury medicine last night, and the injuries on his hips, legs and ankles were cleaned up and treated, and he was not even dragged to the hall today.
As for the court, the reason why everyone in the Five Peaks Thieves acquiesced to Ye Junyao calling them little thieves, as Wang Fulin said, the reason is very simple, they naturally know what kind of people they have patronized in the past, what kind of cases they have committed, if they are really dealt with strictly according to the law, what kind of crime will they have. Of course, life is more important than reputation. Compared with Wang Fulin's promise, which made an immediate difference at breakfast today, who would believe the words of a high-ranking court official like Yushi so easily? What's more, before they were arrested, they didn't hear the jokes behind the scenes of the people of She County, or scolded this Cai Xunpress.
As for the lone thieves in the cell next door, they also passed the hall again today after the Wufeng thieves. Today, they were not beaten again after being beaten with sticks before, and they also got two bottles of stick sore medicine, and in addition to this, they were even more relieved that the flail display that had been left for many days was finally exempted. But at the same time, the two-year prison sentence could not be escaped.
People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed. Their heads are pinned to the waistband of their trousers. A thief who specializes in seeing people. All of them have long been prepared to fall into the hands of the government, and now they are really squatting in prison, and they are content to have this treatment. The people in the two cells are now brothers and sisters, and now you are talking back and forth.
is just like what Wang Fulin said before, it is the same sentence, but it must also be divided into grades. It seems to be the lightest, but in fact, the most cruel is to be locked up in prison for three years, unless you are in good health. Otherwise, if you stay in this kind of place where you don't see the light of day, you will be half-crippled when you go out. As for the second gear, they were taken to build a city wall or a river embankment, which was similar to the labor of ordinary people, except that their duration was longer. The heaviest is of course the hard labor of drying salt and logging and quarrying, there are no salt farms in Huizhou, but of course there will be no shortage of wood and stone quarries.
What will happen to them next?
At this moment, there was another sound of talking outside the cell, and after a while, the prisoners saw several prisoners crowding Wang Fulin, whom they had seen last night. Last night they claimed to know the clues. But it was Wang Fulin who saw him one by one, although he asked the inmates afterwards. Cute said how much is their own business, others only look at the aftermath Wang Fulin gave the wound medicine, breakfast is countless times better than the usual pig food, today is really not too much suffering, the conviction is indeed relatively minor, they all think that is to fulfill the promise. Therefore, as soon as Wang Fulin appeared at this moment, someone opened his mouth.
"Petty officials are the ones who talk about it, in the end they are the ones who killed those Taihu bandits, and they are trustworthy!"
Wang Fulin ignored the specious compliment and did not speak. At this time, the cell boss who still came with him said: "The county lord has an order, and you two groups of people will be transferred to custody separately." The eight of you, the West Garden Yashe is waiting for the stone to repair the rockery, and from now on you will be transferred there to serve hard labor, and if you perform well, you can be transferred to the reserve warehouse to dry the grain after half a month. ”
As soon as they heard about quarrying, the lone thieves almost made a fuss, and when they heard that it was only half a month, they would be transferred to the reserve warehouse if they performed well, and everyone immediately stopped. Especially for the three words of the reserve warehouse, everyone is indispensable to ponder. At the beginning, Ye Junyao's rumor of bribing tens of thousands of gold was started from the reserve warehouse, but now this county magistrate has transferred them to the reserve warehouse without care, obviously there is no problem here. Thinking of being deceived this time, the lone thieves who regretted their bowels couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"The twenty people who are responsible for escorting you outside the door, except for the twenty people from the fast class and the strong class, as well as the old soldiers of the Qi family, don't think about running, otherwise you will die in vain! Okay, come out one by one, don't try to play tricks! ”
Seeing that the people in the cell next to them were all emptied after a while, the Wufeng thieves were also quite uneasy while whispering. But in just a few moments, they waited for an answer.
"Take Liao Feng out alone."
As soon as these words came out, the other Wufeng thieves suddenly had a small commotion, and Nie Wu, who had suffered the most before, was even more vigilant, and was stopped by Liao Feng when he just wanted to question. Liao Feng got up with a bone, and walked as usual on his two legs as if he had not been tortured. He went straight to the door of the cell, and as soon as the door opened, he took the initiative to get out without being dragged by the cell. Then he turned back to the crowd and said, "Wait for me to come back." ”
In the face of these simple four words, the Five Peaks Thieves were all stunned. It wasn't until he saw Liao Feng and Wang Fulin walking out and about to disappear from this heavy torture cell that Qin Dafeng couldn't help but shout and ask, "Boss, where are you going?" Don't fall for the evil deeds of these officials! ”
"Wait for me, I'll find out the people who were sneaking around behind the scenes and spreading the news behind our backs!"
Seeing that the door that separated the inside and outside was slammed shut, and Wang Fulin and the others all left, the Five Peak Thieves were suddenly shocked.
"That Wang Fulin is asking his eldest brother to investigate the person who is secretly spreading rumors for him? He's not afraid that the eldest brother will run away? ”
Nie Wu, who had just woken up from a dream, smiled bitterly at this time: "Big brother is the leader of our Wufeng thieves, and he is the most righteous, if it wasn't for saving me before, all of you would have left and flown away, and you wouldn't have ended up in prison." Right now, all of us are locked up here, and if we just let the eldest brother out, he will definitely find out who is behind the scenes. ”
In other words, people are holding on to them, and they are sure that the eldest brother will get things done!
At this moment, the other brothers in the cell also woke up one by one, some were relieved, and some were scolded, but Qin Dafeng, who loves to brag and can see it, is relieved and said: "The boss will definitely be caught!" Why should we go to prison, but the person who fanned the flames is comfortable, it, we should arrest people and be beaten and imprisoned, and taste the hardships we have suffered! ”
took off his prison uniform, bathed and changed clothes, and when Liao Feng, who had cleaned up, stood under the sun again, he didn't feel the taste of new life. In the past, the five peaks were famous in the southeast, relying on their ghostly failure to rob rich families, relying on their frequent relief to the poorest and most difficult ordinary people, and relying on those like-minded and reliable brothers under him. But now he is only one person, and it is no wonder that he has to rely on himself to track down the person who posted false news and put all the brothers in prison.
But if it weren't so difficult, how could someone else risk getting themselves out of prison? That's a big deal!
Liao Feng glanced back at Wang Fulin and asked in a deep voice, "The little official guarantees that all my brothers will be properly arranged?" ”
"With their crimes, a hundred rods, three years in prison is the lightest, they will be sent to repair the Green Field Book Garden, and then they will repair the Huizhou Mansion School and She County School Palace, they will never be abused, and the food supply is enough. But only if you have three months, regardless of the outcome, you have to come back and report on your progress. At that time, you ask people to go to the gate of the county government, and they will find the Wu priest of the torture room. Speaking of this, Wang Fulin took out a handwritten post from his arms and handed it over casually, "After handing over this post, Secretary Wu will naturally meet you." ”
"Yes, three months later, I will definitely come back!" (To be continued......)
