Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Cell

Zhao Zheng looked at the arrogant attitude of the two, and was a little stunned, it was the first time he faced such a naked bending of the law in the Song Dynasty, with Zhao Zheng's current status, he could make these two catchers never turn over, but he didn't do that. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He wanted to see how far the two catchers would go.

Huang Miaomiao and Zhao Zheng's secret guards didn't come out to scold everything, these people were like ants shaking elephants in front of Zhao Zheng, they didn't need to be silent at all, they could turn the situation around at any time and trample the two of them to death.

And this arrest is so arbitrary, and the corruption of Huzhou officialdom can't escape, maybe the national teacher is drunk and warm, so don't rush out, it's a big thing for the national teacher.

"Did the two officials make a mistake? It was the idle man who deliberately blackmailed, why did he tell me to go to the Yamen, is there still a royal law in Huzhou? Zhao Zheng said without being salty or light, so that the two catchers were happy in their hearts, seeing that Zhao Zheng was calm and relaxed, and he was dressed luxuriously, he was afraid of which Yanei, so he relaxed his breath and asked tentatively: "I'll wait for the mission to do something, the strong four will sue you first, deal with this matter, and then deal with your affairs, dare to ask which Yanei is this Langjun?" ”

The two of them said crookedly, and Zhao Zheng was not angry: "I can't afford it in the yamen with a cloth body, even if the two officials have to deal with Qiangsi's false accusations first, they have to take him to the yamen for questioning." Why are you the only one who caught me? ”

The two catchers heard that Zhao Zheng was a civilian, and no matter how worry-free they were, although this kid looked like a disciple of a high-ranking official, he might just be the spoiled son of the Shangjia family, or maybe he was a liar.

Song swindlers were rampant, even the emperor was tired of cheating, after the difficulty of Jingkang, Song Gaozong lied to a palace maid that he was his own sister Furou Emperor Ji, who was born to his mother, and actually succeeded in gaining the trust of Song Gaozong, and was tolerant of the liar, enjoying the glory for 30 years, until Song Gaozong welcomed his mother Wei back to Lin'an, and learned that his sister had already died in a foreign country, and the matter was revealed.

So no one can judge the identity of a person just by looking at his appearance and demeanor, and the two arresters quickly determined that Zhao Zheng had no background, and if he had a background, he would have dragged it out a long time ago, how could he let the two of them be presumptuous for so long, and they no longer had any scruples: "The law of the court, first arrest you and go back for interrogation?" But there is no endless road, and the two of us should do it well today, and we can dredge it for you. The two blatantly asked for money, which made Zhao Zheng feel unbelievable in broad daylight.

"If you don't want money, if you want to die, I want to see that in front of the magistrate, I will be deceived by you and so small?" Wucheng is under the jurisdiction of Huzhou, and the two counties of Gui'an are both Huzhou of Huzhou, so this case is generally handed over to the desk of the magistrate first.

The two smiled treacherously: "Hehe, then you will know if you can meet the magistrate." Toast without eating and drinking, and don't you want to show you the way? Cheap bones! When the time comes, you will look good! As he spoke, he made a gesture to escort the two away.

Zhao Zheng said coldly: "Do you want to escort the female dependents away?" "Since ancient times, women have been in prison, and it is difficult to say that they are innocent, even if they can wash away their grievances and get out of prison after being wronged, they are either divorced by their husbands or commit suicide in the end, so all dynasties will not easily put women in prison.

Those two catchers were just trying to make money, and they didn't want to cause trouble, and they didn't want to make a mistake, so they just let this woman out and give them money to call someone.

Huang Miaomiao wanted to speak several times on the side, but swallowed it all, the national teacher wanted to play Hongchen with him, just to rectify the Huzhou officialdom.

"Then third brother, should I go back to rest or go tell the master?" Huang Miaoyu asked Zhao Zheng with a pun on what she wanted her to do next.

"Go back and rest, tell the master I'm leaving."

The two officials couldn't help but laugh when they heard this: "It's the first time I've seen someone ask for money and die!" Then he stared at Huang Miaomiao viciously and said, "Go back and tell your master, don't you want to see a living person if you don't make up ten times!" ”

"Let's go! Two officials, take me to see what this Huzhou prison looks like? Zhao Zheng said lazily, in fact, he wanted to see how corrupt the Song Dynasty's officials were!

――

When Zhao Zheng was arrested, the secret guard had already sent someone to quickly inform the Imperial City Division, and after Zen Master Hongzhi learned of this situation, he directly sent someone to Huzhou Prison with the waist card of the Imperial City Division, first ensuring the safety of the national teacher.

Then inform the inner servant stationed in Huzhou of the inside story and let him come forward to arrange it, so as not to alarm the Huzhou officialdom.

In this way, on the pretext of investigating the case, the Imperial City Division mixed in ten people from the Imperial City Division into the prison to ensure Zhao Zheng's safety, including both prison errands and prisoners.

In the name of the palace, even if the cell boss informs the magistrate, he will draw the magistrate's attention to other places, so that the actions of the national teacher will not be disturbed.

Arresting fast and the cell are two systems, and the fast arrester naturally has no right to take people directly to the prison, but they are in cahoots with the cell boss, secretly sharing the spoils, and sending one or two inconsequential people to the cell can also be unaware.

Their targets are all small merchants who come and go to Huzhou, even if they know the Tao inside, they also think that the strong dragon will not suppress the snake, they think they are unlucky, and spend money to eliminate the disaster.

They didn't plan to ask for Zhao Zheng's life, seeing that Zhao Zheng was dressed luxuriously, he wanted to come to the house and have some money, even if he was a poor and white liar, it didn't matter, the big deal was to give less money, be locked up for ten days and half a month, beat him violently, and let him out.

When Zhao Zheng entered the cell, the people from the Imperial City Division had already entered the cell, and Zhao Zheng was not searched, the jailer directly escorted him into a fairly clean cell, and let the jailer say to Zhao Zheng viciously: "Listen, boy, the reason why I locked you up in such a good place is because I look like a dog in what you are wearing, if you can't get a penny at that time, I will sell you to Guangdong as a coolie!" ”

Zhao Zheng's heart sank when he heard that the destination was Guangdong, it seems that this human trafficking trade is not the first time, Guangdong is now a poor laborer, and it is possible to do some secret deeds, but don't have anything to do with Sun He and them!

There was no one else in Zhao Zheng's cell, the bed was a thatched room, a mat, and then a thin quilt. In addition to this, there is a small table, and the floor is fairly clean.

Zhao Zheng watched seven or eight people crowded into one room opposite, the toilet or something was inside, the stench was unpleasant, and the sanitary condition was extremely poor.

At this time, a jailer quietly approached, squeezing his eyebrows at Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng got closer, and then the man whispered: "Don't worry, the national teacher, our people have already entered the cell, and they won't let you suffer a little, I'll help you move a more comfortable room later!" Whatever you command, do it to me. ”

Zhao Zheng was surprised: "And a comfortable room? ”

The jailer smiled: "The national teacher doesn't know, the Tao in this prison is deep, not only those like you who were forcibly dragged into the black prison, but also some of them voluntarily hid in the cell in order to avoid being chased by the rivers and lakes and wanted by the imperial court." There are many people in Huzhou, many people spend money to buy the cell head to go to prison in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, not only is there no chase and killing here, but every meal is served with good wine and meat, if the silver is enough, it is not difficult to find two women to come in. ”

Zhao Zheng almost fell to the ground when he heard this, he didn't expect that this group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in this cell had played so many tricks, thinking that Zhao Zheng was even more determined.

"Get me some paper and pen to come in, the prisoner in the cell on my left will be replaced by my secret guard, I will make do with it here for the night today, and at the same time let the news out to the officialdom that I have come to Huzhou and will leave tomorrow. Tomorrow I will inform the woman who is with me today and ask her to go to the county government to beat the drum and voice her grievances, that is, I am his distant cousin, and I have been wrongfully imprisoned. ”

After the jailer left, a prisoner in the opposite cell seemed to recognize Zhao Zheng and threw a stone at Zhao Zheng: "This little brother, why did you come in?" ”

Zhao Zheng looked at the man on the opposite side who was covered with dirt in surprise, and asked puzzledly, "We know each other?" ”

The man smiled awkwardly: "I don't remember clearly, but I feel like I've seen you outside Yangzhou City." But you won't recognize me, I was in heaven at the time! ”

Clang! The man said that he was passed by a strong man, and scolded angrily: "Damn! Chirping crookedly all day long, didn't see Lao Tzu taking a nap? Isn't it just flying in a hot air balloon? Talk all day long! ”
