Chapter 202: A Trick to Borrow Money

I came to the innermost cell. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The cell boss pointed to the seven prisoners in the fence with heavy shackles on their feet and shackles on their hands and a hideous face, and said, "Two adults, these are the seven damned fellows selected from the death row inmates. ”

One of the death row inmates scolded the cell boss fiercely and said, "Phew! You're the fucking damn one. He scolded and picked up the shackles and slammed them on the fence.

The cell boss jumped back in fright and pointed at the death row prisoner and scolded: "Fuck, it's really a duck whose mouth is still hard when he dies, and when he dies, he still takes advantage of his tongue." Let's see how many more days you kid can jump. ”

Ding Qian walked to the fence and looked at the seven death row prisoners carefully one by one, nodded and said to Governor Zhang: "Okay, I think it's the seven of them!" ”

Governor Zhang said: "Everything is up to the people who join the army to decide." ”

Ding Qian turned around and said, "Okay, let's go outside and discuss the next step." ”

Governor Zhang nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Everyone came to the outside of the cell, and the cell leader flattered: "Two adults, can you go to the villain's room to rest?" ”

Governor Zhang looked at Ding Qian, and Ding Qian shook his head.

Governor Zhang said: "No, I won't go." As he spoke, he asked Ding Qiandao: "I don't know what else the Lord of the Army has to order." ”

Ding Qian smiled and said: "Lord Prefect, your official rank is much higher than Ding, Ding Mou dares to order the adult, the two of us can discuss with each other." ”

Governor Zhang said: "Yes, yes, then let's discuss what to do next!" ”

Ding Qian instructed the cell boss: "Cell boss, you will find someone to cut the hair of the seven death row inmates in a while, and cut them into normal people." ”

The cell boss was puzzled and said, "These individuals are going to be beheaded, what kind of hair are they cutting?" ”

Governor Zhang glared and said: "Fart, what should you do when you join the army, you kid is in a hurry, there is so much nonsense." ”

The cell boss smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

Ding Qian said to Governor Zhang again: "Lord Zhang, can you find seven sets of boatman's clothes?" ”

Governor Zhang waved his hand, and a servant ran forward and said, "What do you command?" ”

Governor Zhang said: "You immediately go and get seven sets of clothes worn by the boatmen, there must be no mistake." ”

The official agreed, "Yes! He turned and ran out.

Ding Qian said to the cell boss again: "You immediately ask the gang to cook some large pieces of pork and beef that are enough for seven people to eat, and prepare two large jars of wine." ”

The head of the cell said with a sad face: "Lord Joiner, do you know, this state capital has not allocated silver taels to the prison for more than two months, and the prisoners are now eating wild vegetables. As he spoke, he pointed to the prefect and said, "It just so happens that the prefect is also there, I don't believe you ask!" ”

Governor Zhang glared at the cell boss and said, "This ......"

Ding Qian took out a silver ingot from his arms, stuffed it into the hand of the cell leader, and said, "This is ten taels of silver, is it enough." ”

The cell boss glanced at the silver and said, "Enough, enough, I don't need so much." ”

Ding Qian waved his hand and said: "You can buy more wine and meat for the rest of the silver, I see that the brothers guarding the cell are also very hard, even if Governor Zhang treats you." ”

The cell leader hurriedly said: "Small, thank you for joining the army, thank you for the prefect!" So saying, he took the money and went out to buy it.

Governor Zhang saw Ding Qian and said embarrassedly: "Lord Join the Army, how can this make you pay out of your own pocket!" ”

Ding Qian smiled: "It's okay, let you dig it, isn't the inventory in your state capital also empty!" Besides, I eat and live in the barracks, and I don't need silver taels. Good steel is used on the blade! ”

Governor Zhang stretched out his thumb and admired: "If half of my officials in the Great Song Dynasty can join the army, how dare the Liao State come to attack." ”

Ding Qian said modestly: "I'm just doing a little bit." The strength of the individual is insignificant, and only if everyone works together, I believe that this battle will definitely defeat the Liao army. ”

At this moment, the official who went out to look for clothes walked back with two large burdens in his hands, put the burden on the ground and said, "Lord Prefect, you have got the clothes you wanted." ”

Governor Zhang nodded: "Okay, let's put it here for the time being!" ”

After a while, the head of the cell led a guard with a burden of wine and meat on his shoulders to the two of them and said, "Two adults, the wine and meat have been bought. ”

Ding Qian said: "Cell leader, then please ask the gang to make a fire quickly, cut these meats into large pieces, cook them, take the pot, I will be useful in a while." The rest is left for you to fight tooth sacrifices with your brothers. ”

The cell boss said: "Thank you for joining the army for your understanding of the little ones." As he spoke, he said to the guard who was carrying the burden: "What are you doing here, hurry up and pick it up into the room to process it." By noon, we can have a good meal with wine and meat. ”

At this time, another guard came over and said to Governor Zhang: "Your Excellency, on your orders, the hair of the seven death row prisoners has been trimmed. ”

Governor Zhang waved his hand and said, "Got it." As he spoke, he said to the cell boss, "Can the cell boss get some tea to drink?" Say you're poor, don't you have no tea! ”

The cell boss said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I forgot about this busy, the two adults should go to the house and sit, the tea will come soon." ”

Governor Zhang said with a smile: "Hehe, look at the dirty appearance of your prison management, and your own house is not clean, I won't go in, move a table, a few stools, let's have tea in the courtyard!" How about joining the army. ”

Ding Qian agreed: "Okay, sitting in the courtyard is just basking in the autumn sun." ”

The cell boss listened to the tables and stools that were hurriedly moved, and called the guards to boil the water, and soon the tea was served.

Half an hour passed gradually, and a guard came over and said, "I have learned from the prefect that the pork and beef have been cooked. ”

Governor Zhang looked at Ding Qian and said, "Join the army, let's go!" ”

Ding Qian put down the teacup and said, "Okay!" Cell boss, you find someone to bring two large pots of pork and beef with us to the death row prisoner's cell. As he spoke, he beckoned to the official and said, "You take these two bags of clothes and go with you." ”

The servants hurriedly picked up the baggage on the ground, and everyone walked together to the cells where the seven death row inmates were placed.

When they came to the cell, the seven death row inmates had already cut their hair, and sat at the foot of the wall very unnaturally, all with their heads bowed and silent.

When I heard the sound of the door opening, I raised my head one by one and looked blankly at these people who came in.

Two guards carried two large pots of fragrant cooked meat in the middle of the cell, and then one watched seven large bowls be placed on the ground, and then took the jar and poured each large bowl full of wine.

The death row prisoner secretly wondered, did he want to send us to see Hades today, but in the past, although the beheading people were also given a cut of head, they never gave us a haircut before they died. So, one by one, they stared at the two pots of meat, and saliva kept flowing out.

At this time, Ding Qian said to the cell boss: "The shackles on their bodies are missing. ”

The cell boss looked at Governor Zhang, who didn't speak but nodded.

The cell boss hurriedly shook out the key and removed the heavy shackles and shackles from the seven death row inmates.

One by one, the death row inmates immediately stretched out their arms and twisted their legs to move their bodies.

Ding Qian watched the death row prisoners move for a while, and then said: "Come and sit down around this wine and meat, this army invites you to eat meat and drink wine today." As he spoke, he walked over and sat on the ground, and the death row inmates looked at each other in a daze.

The cell boss shouted: "Why, if you don't hurry up and sit around when the army invites you to drink, you have to wait for someone to pull you into the table." ”

The death row inmates then sat around.

Ding Qian saw that everyone was sitting around, turned back to the cell boss and said, "Bring me a big bowl of wine too!" ”

The cell boss hurriedly handed a bowl of wine to Ding Qian.

Ding Qian took the bowl and said kindly to the death row inmates: "Come, you all eat a few pieces of meat first, and then let's drink again." ”

The death row inmates looked at each other a few times, and with a loud bang, they all stretched out their big black hands and grabbed the large pieces of meat in the basin and stuffed them into their mouths.

Two large pots of meat were halfway in in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the death row inmates were no longer crazy about robbing, Ding Qian raised the bowl and said, "Come!" Let's take a sip of wine first! ”

Eight people took a big sip of wine together. Ding Qian put down the wine bowl and said, "Do you all know what crime you have committed? ”

The death row inmates said in unison: "Capital crime! ”

Ding Qian nodded and said: "Yes, what you have committed is a capital crime, according to the Great Song Dynasty criminal law, you will be beheaded after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but this army wants to borrow your head in advance, but this has to seek your opinions first, if you don't agree, then I will invite you to drink a drink today, if you agree, then this meal is a severed head meal." What do you think? ”

The death row prisoners were silent for a long time, and after a long time, an older death row prisoner said: "Lord Joiner, we are all death row prisoners to be executed, and it is not bad to die early or late for a few days, but you have to let us die clearly!" ”

Ding Qian nodded and said in a heavy voice: "Everyone, I am really helpless, you may have heard about the Liao army in this prison." ”

The death row inmate said, "My lord! I heard that, so do you want us to be a death squad to kill the Liao, I didn't say it, I'll do it! The other six death row inmates also shouted, "I'll do it, I'll do it!" ”

Ding Qian shook his head and said, "The death squad has our Great Song soldiers to be the ones, and we don't need you." Now the iron cavalry of the Liao people is rampant southward, the people are frightened, the people in the north have rushed to cross the Daqing River, hundreds of people take refuge in crossing the river every day to go to Xiongzhou, but those hateful boatmen only have silver in their eyes, if the people do not give silver, they will not ferry the refugees to cross the river in time. Therefore, I would like to ask you to pretend to be boatmen and decapitate you on the river beach, so as to deter the boatmen who will not be saved. I don't know if you are willing or not, if you don't, I will never be reluctant. The seven death row inmates exchanged glances with each other and nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Ding Qian stood up and bowed deeply to the seven death row prisoners, and said solemnly: "So, on behalf of the people of Xiongzhou, thank you." ”

Seven death row prisoners hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Excellency, you can't do it!" ”

Ding Qian waved his hand, motioned for everyone to raise their heads, and said: "In that case, tomorrow at noon, I will send you on the road on the river beach in the north of the city, and if you have any other requirements to make, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer within the scope of what I can do." ”

The six death row inmates all shook their heads, and only one of the youngest death row inmates knelt down in front of Ding Qian and said, "My lord, I only have one small request, that is, can I see my wife before I die." ”

Ding Qian said: "What's your name, there's a person's name." ”

The death row prisoner said: "Lord Hui, my name is Xiao Lao Pimple, and I am from Wuli Village, south of Xiongzhou City. ”

Ding Qian nodded and said, "Okay, the cell boss will go to Wuli Village to inform the family of the little old pimple, and let his wife come to meet him early tomorrow morning." ”

When the cell boss heard this, he said: "How can this be true, the adults who joined the army, the little old pimple mother is now paralyzed in bed." ”

Ding Qian said: "This ......"

The little old pimple said when he heard it: "Join the army, the villain should be damned, you shouldn't make such a request, you just think what I just said is a fart." ”

Ding Qian shook his head and said: "Then how can it be, people don't stand without faith, if you agree to join the army, then you have to say that it counts, so let's do it, little pimple, you can ride my horse in a while, and go back to Wuli Village to visit your mother, but be sure to rush back to the prison before tomorrow." As he spoke, he took out a tael of silver from his bosom and said, "I have such a little silver left on me, you take it to the market for a while to buy some things that the old lady likes to eat, and bring them back, which can be regarded as your filial piety before you die." ”
