But he said that I was asked by Lord Xu to be a thief of fifty times, so I naturally went down to the prison and was locked up with other bandits. That's why the thieves and snitches kept asking me what I had done, and some of them taught me some tricks to get through the house, so that I couldn't sleep all night.

On the second day, Zhang Li's case was elevated to trial, and I was a witness to the trial. That Zhang Xie Yuan naturally denied it in every possible way, but as a result, Zou Ping came forward to identify it, and coupled with the testimony of the people around him, that Zhang Xie Yuan was naturally at a loss for words, so he had to surrender to the law. In the end, Lord Xu was shocked, and sentenced Zhang Xie Yuanqiu to behead, that Zou Ping stole people's property, Zhang Li was humiliated before he died, and the crime was extremely evil, although he was young, he was sentenced to be beheaded, and Zou Ping was scared to death in the hall, and I was so shocked that I couldn't move. So the county order issued a document and handed it over to the state, and only waited for the state to reply before the execution, so Zou Ping was escorted back to the prison. Then, because of the case of Liu Yuan's export of horses, I didn't ask about it, so Lord Xu asked me about the theft of hanging beads worth 50 yuan.

At that moment, Xu County Ling asked the case: Nie Chenghai, now do you explain the whereabouts of the hanging beads, or do you pay fifty yuan to offset it?

I raised my head and said: I don't know the whereabouts of the hanging beads, and there is no silver to offset them!

Outrageous! I don't think you need to be punished, you little thief must not say it! Left and right, play fifteen boards first, and see if he doesn't say anything?

Wait! My eldest brother came in outside the door and said, "Now there are fifty dollars of silver!"

Oh? How can it be? Xu County ordered: Your family's situation is naturally clear in this county, unless you pawn the hanging beads, how can you get fifty yuan of silver?

Big brother said: My brother naturally didn't steal the hanging beads, Lord Xu insisted on going his own way, so we had to raise fifty yuan to offset it ourselves.

Hum! The county has said that others are not allowed to substitute for others!

This is Liu Yuanwai to thank us for playing with his young lady, and the reward for us is our own money, can we be exonerated now? The eldest brother asked.

Do you admit that he stole the beads? Master Xu smiled slightly.

How can it be? My brother is naturally innocent! The eldest brother said angrily.

If he is innocent, why is he willing to pay fifty pieces of silver? Lord Xu patted the case.

My lord! The eldest brother said angrily: I don't know what kind of enmity the adults have with my Nie family, and they are so retaliating! The last time I bit my brother to death and stole the hanging beads, and then threatened that it could be offset by fifty times, and now he took the silver money and forced my brother to confess, is it possible, there is no royal law in this Bohai County?

Shut up! Since your brother has admitted to stealing the horse, and the details of the horse theft are all consistent, what is wrong with the hanging beads that belong to the lost horse, and deal with them together? The horse is found, and the bead is missing, so how can he not get it himself? Nie Chengyun, since you are full of poetry and books, can't you even figure out such a thing? If the county cracks a theft case, and every lost treasure has to be filed and dealt with, then there is no need to ask about other cases, and there is no need to talk about law enforcement! If you hadn't sent this money, this case would have been a headless case, and now that you are willing to pay fifty pieces of silver, there is no doubt that he stole it! Saying that, he slapped the shocked wooden road, Nie Chenghai, according to the law in this county, you will be sentenced to the crime of theft, and the crime of stealing horses will be punished concurrently, read that you are young, and sentence you to 30 years, five years in exile, and be assigned to Cangzhou!

My lord, what a wrong! I shouted. The eldest brother was very angry, and looked straight at that Xu County Order. Xu Xian Ling looked at it slightly, and didn't say much, and said: Retreat! Then he turned and went into the back hall. The eldest brother turned around and gritted his teeth and looked at me and said: You didn't complain about the trouble you caused yourself, but you didn't want to be retaliated against by the younger generation, it was the eldest brother's fault! Don't worry, brother, this beam is knotted, and the eldest brother will definitely seek justice for you! As he spoke, he took fifty yuan and left. I was then dragged out of the yamen by the officials, and I was pulled off my pants in the street, making me translucent, and then bamboo fell like raindrops, and I felt transparent at first, but then I was like mud, and I passed out and was dragged to the prison.

The jailers were talking, and a few snitches had gathered to see me, and they sighed when I was woken up by their water. A snitch said: There is a way, don't mess with anyone who is an official, you see, your kid has a bad year, and he was still a witness yesterday, and he became a human prisoner when he turned his face. Now that the prison has spread, I heard that your family has offended Xu County's order, and you have not broken the net for Zou Ping and Zhang Jieyuan's beheading, you kid will hate your own life if you want to hate! Another way: I heard that according to our new law, there is no one who will be sentenced to mismatch at the age of twelve, it should be half of the sentence, and your father will receive it on his behalf, how can you be directly beaten with 30 boards, and you will be stabbed and distributed? The person who fed me water next to him: How will this child be a person after the piercing face? Besides, when they were sent to Cangzhou, I heard that at most two out of ten prisoners there could come back safely, which is also too bad! A few other snitches said: When our brother goes out, he must go to the house surnamed Xu to patronize him, and the gentlemen want to see if he is a clean official? Don't worry, brother, I will definitely take out this evil breath for you! I was lying there, my eyes were full of tears, but I didn't resent others, but the thirty boards were really powerful, and I couldn't speak, so I could only lie on my stomach and not move.

Naturally, my brother accompanied his parents to visit me that night, and they were very sad. But I smiled slightly, and said with great effort: No matter what, I always got fifty pieces of silver...... Then the big brother can take the Xiucai exam...... Maybe, when I come back from prison, big brother ...... The eldest brother has already won the promotion, and even the title of the gold list! The eldest brother took my hand and said: Brother, I'm sorry! Eldest brother, I asked the master, and the master told me that this case can be judged both guilty and innocent, and the county master is in charge alone. Now, even if you sue the state, there is no room for manoeuvre. As he spoke, there were faint tears in his eyes. Then he said: Don't worry brother, although the eldest brother is unable to help you at present, but the matter of Xu County's order, the eldest brother will definitely take care of it in the future! You...... You can rest assured that you can recuperate! Don't worry about it at home...... This silver...... As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag and said, "It's not much, but I've heard that if you don't make some silver, you'll encounter a lot of trouble along the way, so bring it!" The snitches next to me all persuaded me to stay, but I pushed it off and said: Big brother needs silver more than me, as long as the big brother is talented, lifted, and even high school, he will definitely be able to shine on the lintel at that time, and it will be expected to give me anger when the time comes! Big brother, you must study hard! The eldest brother held my hand and said: Don't worry, brother! Big Brother will never let you down! So we said a few more things, and we parted.

After that, Xu County ordered that no one else should be allowed to come to see me. I survived in prison for half a month, and as soon as the injury on my buttocks healed, I was brought out by the yamen and rushed to send me to Cangzhou. But fortunately, I was young, so my master didn't tattoo words on my face under the protection of my master. So I was pushed and shoved by two officials, handcuffed and shackled, and allowed to leave the county government without a flail and go to Cangzhou. At the intersection, my eldest brother and several of my brothers came to see me, and they naturally cried silently. Miss Liu also came to see me, and she also gave me ten ingots of silver wrapped in a small handkerchief, and her father saw that I was pitiful, so he entrusted the housekeeper to come and give it to me, and told me that he would sponsor my eldest brother to study, so that I could rest assured. I was very grateful, so I instructed a few brothers not to trouble Liu Yuanwai and Liu Yuanwai's family in the future, and at the same time handed them the ten taels of silver, asking them to find some serious things to do. So I arched my hand and said: When I come back in five years, I must be impressed! So the brothers all nodded. Ma Dahan cried and said: It's all to blame on that Zhang Jieyuan! If he doesn't kill people, how can he implicate the eldest brother! It's not good to steal, but it's even worse to kill! Woooooo So the second son and the fourth baby persuaded him one after another.

I pulled my eldest brother aside and said: "Eldest brother, I know that you don't like to play with these poor children on weekdays, but now that my brother and I have left Cangzhou, in addition to studying on weekdays, you have to help my younger brother and me take care of them, they are all poor and have nothing to do, so they naturally do some unruly things, after I leave, I can't let them repeat my mistakes! The eldest brother nodded and said: Don't worry, I have my own plans, and I naturally don't have to worry about other things at home, now that I have the fifty yuan of silver, my mother can continue to do the weaving business, so you don't have to worry, not to mention, he paused slightly, and said hoarsely: What's more, now that there is one less person, life will naturally be easier...... But don't worry, when you come back, the eldest brother will continue to teach you to read, so that you can also be a talent in the show, and our brothers can be named on the gold list, at that time, the father's face will be bright, and others will not underestimate us, do you say it's good! I said, "Okay! I promised my eldest brother that I would come back and continue my studies! Well, that's a deal! As he spoke, our brothers high-fived each other. The official came over and said: The hour has come, it's time to go! The eldest brother and the others watched us leave, I looked back, the little sister of the Liu family shook her little hand vigorously, and my heart was full of emotion!

Not to mention the hardships along the way, because of the explanations of the Liu family and the Liu family, the official was not very harsh on me. If I am unwell or tired, I will also rest at the right time to allow me to breathe. So we walked a lot and came to the border of Nacangzhou. The terrain of Cangzhou is dangerous, and there is a pass at the beginning, which is guarded by bandits, and it is known from far and near. We got the news, so we decided to take the road instead. However, it would take a half-day detour, so I had to rest in the village at night. We arrived at Ganzi Village at dusk, and there was a hotel at the entrance of the village, so we stayed in.

When the boss saw us and his party, he knew that it was the person who sent the assignment. So he gave some wine and meat indiscriminately, and his attitude was not very kind. However, his wife was very curious, she saw that I was a child, and she actually walked to Cangzhou with handcuffs and shackles, and it seemed that she was going to be sent to the army. The officials generally did not like to talk much, but only said that I had committed a robbery, so I was sentenced to mismatch. The boss Qidao: Robbery? How does the robbery need teenage children to flow to this Cangzhou territory? The official said impatiently: How do we know? The county lord sentenced like this, who can do it? So I bowed my head and didn't speak, and there were faint tears in my eyes. The proprietress was unhappy and said: Why has this world become like this recently, and I thought that Emperor Cheng was a good emperor, but what happened? Such a young child can be sentenced to mismatch, what else can't be done? I said why so many people started to kill people and set fires, and they did a good thing done by these yamen for a long time, and they only knew how to sentence children, but they didn't know how to check themselves, you said, why don't you make people angry! As soon as the officials heard this, they said: "Boss, it's good to say this once, but it won't be easy to let the gentlemen hear it again!" The boss immediately gagged her and drove her to the back kitchen. So when we had eaten our fill, we went upstairs to rest.

I couldn't sleep at night, and I felt like my hands and feet hurt to death. I think the injuries from being strangled by chains are not light, but those servants are like dead dogs sleeping. At this time, I heard the sound of someone sharpening the knife next door, and the sound was very clear! As soon as I was about to get up, the two officials jumped up, and one of them drew his knife and whispered: "Did you hear it, big brother?" The other touched the whistle stick and said: Go over and see! While he was talking, the voice next door suddenly fell silent, and the two officials immediately became careful. At this time, a loud noise was heard, a large hole was broken in the wall, and a man in a black robe jumped in, stood on the table, and said with a knife in his hand: You are from the government? The officials were startled and nodded slightly. The man pointed at me again and said, "That is the child who was sentenced to exile?" The officer nodded, and then the man with the whistle stick suddenly swept his leg horizontally, and the man jumped, and the blade swept in the air, and the officer threw the stick and fell down with a shout. The other was startled and turned to run out of the door, but the man kicked the stick and stabbed it straight into the back of the officer's heart, and he fell straight down the stairs to the bottom of the stairs and died. So he stroked the knife in one hand and walked up to me.

I was taken aback, and then I fixed my mind: Who are you, and why did you kill the officials of the government? The man was stunned and said: Little brother, now that you have been saved by me, you don't have to suffer from that mismatch, why don't you thank me immediately? As he spoke, he leaned the knife against his left shoulder and stood with his head tilted over his arms, as if he was really waiting for me to thank him. So I smiled and said: You are really ashamed, now you have killed the official who escorted me, if I am tracked down by the government, I will definitely not be able to get out of it, it was only five years of mismatching, but now I am tired by you, I am afraid I can't tell it! He smiled and said: If you are not stupid, then follow me immediately, leave here, and in the future, you will not be burdened by the government! I said: If I obey you, I will really become a murderer and escape from prison, then I will not have a bright future in my life! I'm not going to go with you! That human: You are really elm head, the general judge in Cangzhou is a fool, go back to arrest you and go to the yamen and insist that you did it, and ensure that your ten heads are not enough to cut off, if you don't believe it, you will stay! I disdainfully said: I don't believe it can really be so unlucky? If you don't leave for a while, people will come to arrest you! When he heard this, he laughed and said: The little brother is not afraid of danger, he is a talent! Now that you remember the words of your eldest brother, you have turned around and eaten the lawsuit, don't blame me! As he spoke, he rolled over and flew out of the window and disappeared into the night. So I shouted at the top of my voice: Kill! Kill! The loud noise before has almost woken up the entire hotel, heard me shout so they all ran out, only to find that two officials had died, so they immediately sued the official, because this is closer to the state city, so the Cangzhou general judge came directly to the scene, it was already morning.

I was arranged by the boss to eat early, and I was lying in front of the store basking in the sun. As soon as I saw someone from the state, the boss immediately went over and pulled me to the adult's sedan chair to see the ceremony, and told the adult that I was the witness to the murder. As a result, when the judge opened the sedan curtain, he was surprised to see that I was handcuffed and shackled but not in a flail, and asked, "Why are you like this?" So I briefly described how I ate the lawsuit, how I was falsely accused of hanging beads, and finally ended up in Cangzhou. When the general judge heard this, he smiled and said: Isn't the little brother having a grudge against the county master? I said: The family has some festivals with the old man. He smiled and said, "Yes, at first glance, this case seems to have been done by you, but if you hold the horse at the same time, it will be over." But in fact, the recovered horse is with a criminal, which is different, so you have a grudge against the county lord. Otherwise, although Yu Li is guilty of your kid, Yu Qing is different. Seeing that the county prince in the state has already made a judgment, naturally he will not easily change the sentence, and your kid will become the first criminal to be exiled at the age of twelve in this dynasty! Hahaha! He said my heartache, and he actually laughed out loud, I thought to myself that this guy is not only confused, but also scum!

Then the lord said, "Now tell me the details of what happened last night!" He obviously doesn't have a beard, and he has to pretend to wear it, which looks quite funny. The boss and I explained the cause and effect clearly, but the adult patted his head and said: Little brother, now you have to thank the county master! I was angry and said, "How can I thank him for having framed me so much?" He smiled and said: Who doesn't know about this Cangzhou boundary? The people of Futai here say one thing and say a disrespectful word, which is even more powerful than the holy decree. Even my dignified general judgment has to obey the orders of the Qin prefect! But if this case comes out of Cangzhou, whether you are guilty or not, it depends on whether you have money or not! I said, "My house is surrounded by walls, where is there any silver?" Adult: That's why he offended the county public at a young age and was mismatched. He touched his chin and said: Futai would not let go of any case, at least it had to be asked, but now it seems that the only way to deal with the case is to hand it over to me, hehe, do you say that you want to thank the county lord? When I heard this, I was angry and said, "You only know how to loot money, but how can you think of us who have suffered unjustly?" Now I tell me that I am grateful to him, it is simply a distinction between right and wrong, reversing black and white!

Daring! You don't want to live anymore? Don't apologize to the adults yet! The boss scolded me, so he arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry for my lord, for his young and ignorant sake, forgive him this time!"

Hmph, what this kid said is reasonable, how does it seem to be young and ignorant? The general judge squinted at me, looked up and down, and said with a slight smile: You are now committing the crime in my hands, I can directly sentence you to pay for the lives of those two people! What do you think?

When I heard this, I immediately fell to the ground in fright.
