Chapter 156: Prison Storm
That Zhao Youde is a little related to the local magistrate, and he sent a lot of money to the magistrate, so in order to avoid a lot of dreams at night, he persuaded the magistrate several times to behead Wang Zhong as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, full of hope, he was reprimanded by the magistrate, to the effect that he didn't need him to teach him how to deal with Wang Zhong.
Zhao Youde thought that he gave little silver, so he sent a lot of silver to the magistrate, hoping that the magistrate could do what he wanted.
The magistrate treats the silver like Han Xin's soldiers, the more the merrier. However, although the magistrate accepted Zhao Youde's silver, he was still worried that killing Wang Zhong too quickly would cause public resentment, after all, Wang Zhong had practiced medicine for many years and had a very good mass base, and if the people's resentment boiled, he was afraid that the official hat would not be able to keep it.
Zhao Youde seemed to see through the mind of the magistrate, and he said to the magistrate: "If the lord kills Wang Zhong as soon as possible, both the officials and the common people will praise your lord for handling the case quickly and knowing things like a god." Your reputation will spread to the court, too. ”
Zhixian was overjoyed, so he decided to do what Zhao Youde said. In fact, he didn't think that what Zhao Youde said was right, but for the sake of the heavy silver.
It is said that Zhou Lijun and Wang Zhong have been in prison for a day. Although Lijun was not satisfied with the food in the prison that week, she finally ate two bowls of rice at dinner time. On the other hand, Wang Zhong is much more pessimistic. He washed his face with tears almost all the time, and did not think to eat at all, as if he would not be hungry at all. But that's also impossible. People are iron and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic.
Therefore, Zhou Lijun asked Wang Zhong why he didn't eat? Wang Zhong said directly: "I have no appetite. ”
Zhou Lijun said to Wang Zhong: "You must be used to big fish and meat, so you can't have an appetite for these light meals?" ”
Wang Zhong said to Zhou Lijun: "As long as I think that these things are made by things that are not human, I will be disgusted, and I would rather starve to death than eat." ”
Zhou Lijun said to Wang Zhong: "Then how can I do it." Why don't you eat some? As the saying goes, you just have to think about being hungry. ”
Wang Zhong shook his head, indicating that he really couldn't eat it. Zhou Lijun persuaded him to eat a little more, otherwise how could he have the strength to fight a lawsuit for himself?
Wang Zhong shed tears again, and said very sadly: "My fate is already destined to be like this, who can change it, how can those high-ranking officials pay attention to ordinary people like me." There are so many countries in the country, and I don't have many unjust cases. ”
Zhou Lijun said to Wang Zhong: "Oh, don't say those frustrating words. Justice is at ease in the world. As long as it is an unjust case, it must be investigated to the end. Either way, you've got to eat something first. ”
After Zhou Lijun finished talking to Wang Zhong, she shouted loudly to the cell boss. Where did the very dignified cell boss allow others to shout at him like this, so he ran over and shouted to Zhou Lijun: "You are so rude to a mountain and grass people, wait for me to beat you up so that you know how powerful I am." ”
Wang Zhong also sighed in his heart that Zhou Lijun really didn't know the current affairs, why bother to provoke the cell boss, he really had a good life, but he had to ask for his own hardships, this is not a cheap bone and what is it.
However, Wang Zhong was wrong. The angry cell boss not only did not hit Zhou Lijun, but also turned his anger into joy, and the next conversation with Zhou Lijun was also quite polite. It wasn't because the cell boss suddenly went insane, but because money could make the devil grind. When Zhou Lijun took out a large ingot of silver from his arms and handed it to the cell leader, the cell boss immediately stopped thinking about beating Zhou Lijun. He also greeted Zhou Lijun with a smile and praised Zhou Lijun as a very promising person.
Zhou Lijun said to the cell boss: "I gave you money because I wanted you to help me do something." You get us something to eat. Since Brother Wang Zhong likes to eat chicken legs, you can buy a big fat chicken leg and come in. I like to eat pork knuckles, so you can buy me a charred pork knuckle. The rest of the money is yours. And I have a lot of friends outside, who will send you some money regularly, and you have a lot of oil and water. ”
The cell boss smiled at Zhou Lijun and said, "Haha, the little brother can be a man, and I will also be a man." Don't worry, I'll send you what you want in a moment. ”
Sure enough, after about the time it took to boil a pot of tea, the cell boss brought in what they liked to eat. That Wang Zhong really had a great appetite, and he almost didn't even have a bone left in his chicken thigh. also sighed: "I can still eat such delicious things before I die, it's really not so sad to be a ghost." ”
Zhou Lijun said to Wang Zhong: "Why did you say those desperate words again. We must not only live, but also live well, and eat countless delicacies, otherwise we will be in vain. ”
Wang Zhong said to Zhou Lijun: "I'm afraid that I can't live if I want to." The magistrate here is very vicious, and he has never allowed me to meet with people outside, and he wants me to die. ”
Zhou Lijun said to Wang Zhong: "Oops. In short, you just don't despair. I'll tell me about you later, maybe I'll help you. ”
After the two of them finished eating, they picked their teeth with a wooden stick and looked contented. However, then their enjoyment was shattered.
The jailers in the prison suddenly stood in a line, because their respected magistrate had come. The reason why Nazhi County came here was not to see if the prisoners were doing well in prison, but to see if Wang Zhong was dead. Because Wang Zhong can't die at this time, he will die on the execution ground even if he dies.
Na Zhixian walked up to Wang Zhong and asked Wang Zhong: "They all say that you refuse to eat, why do you still use wooden sticks to pick your teeth, do you like to eat wood, you are the reincarnation of a woodpecker?" ”
A jailer next to him told the magistrate that Wang Zhong was willing to eat after adding food and vegetables just now, and he was a very picky eater.
The magistrate heard that Wang Zhong was still playing so well in prison, so he wanted to teach Wang Zhong a lesson. He asked Wang Zhong if he was convinced? Wang Zhong said to the magistrate: "I don't accept your bending and making a move." ”
The magistrate yelled at Wang Zhong: "If you don't accept it, you will be beaten." Come on, break his other leg for me. ”
Just when the jailer wanted to pull Wang Zhong out to fight, a righteous voice sounded. The voice came from Zhou Lijun. She yelled at the magistrate: "It is illegal to abuse lynching, and you are not worthy of being a county official." ”
The magistrate was furious and asked Zhou Lijun what kind of thing he was? Zhou Lijun said that she is a person who stands up to the sky and the earth, not something.
A jailer told the magistrate that Zhou Lijun was the one who went to Zhao Youde's house to rob and beat people. The magistrate of the county was even more angry, saying that a little thief actually dared to teach the county official a lesson. So, leaving Wang Zhong behind, he first beat Zhou Lijun with 300 sticks to kill the mighty stick, so that she could know whose territory it was.
Zhou Lijun shouted: "I didn't break the law, why did you beat me?" Lord Zhixian smiled: "It's you who beat you." ”
The cell boss accepted Zhou Lijun's benefits and deliberately wanted to exonerate her. Just when Zhou Lijun was about to be beaten, the cell boss had an idea and told the magistrate that there was a disturbance outside the yamen.
The magistrate hurriedly asked the cell leader: "What is the situation, and who is the person who came?" ”
The cell boss said: "It seems to be Wang Zhong's fellow villagers, they say that Wang Zhong is a good man, and he is not allowed to be arrested." ”
Lord Zhixian said angrily: "I **** ancestors for eighteen generations. I can arrest whoever I want, and wherever it is my turn to get such a country man to make trouble. Let's go, follow me and see. ”
This time, the cell boss is pure nonsense. Although people were indeed dissatisfied with Wang Zhong's arrest, no one dared to stand up and go out to make trouble. So if you don't see anyone making trouble, the cell boss will be in trouble. He just wanted to save Zhou Lijun on impulse, but things got worse and worse.
However, Zhou Lijun did escape this catastrophe. Because the magistrate has no time to pay attention to her for the time being. When the magistrate came out of the yamen, he asked where was the troublemaker at the head of the cell? The cell boss said, "Maybe it's gone." ”
The magistrate snorted and wanted to go back, but unexpectedly, two people really came over and threw bricks at the county magistrate, almost injuring the magistrate. Angry, he yelled at his men to grab the two strange-looking men. Who knew that the two of them ran away as soon as they slipped away from the smoke. They are none other than the Tiger Monster and the Hog-headed Monster. After Nazhi County was taken aback, he simply hid at home and did not come out for the time being, and he didn't bother to pay attention to those prisoners. (To be continued.) )
