Chapter 37: The Scourge of Prison

Yanshi County Ya is located in the center of the county, sitting north and facing south. The prison is located in the Kun position, which belongs to the yin, and is located in the right corner of the yamen hall, that is, the southwest position.

The prison door is made of iron, thick and simple, dark in color, dignified and majestic. The door is guarded by a fierce man, and the prison pavilion inside the door is watched, and the guards are heavy.

The prison is divided into internal prisons, external prisons, and women's prisons. Minor offenders are held in the outer prison, and felons are held in the inner prison. The cells were cramped, cold and damp, and the air was filthy and sour.

Yang Ping'an and the four of them are now being held in the inner prison, and they were directly taken to the cell by Feng Zhutou, handed over to the cell leader, and then imprisoned in a small cell in the innermost part of the inner prison.

The cell was only seven or eight square meters, almost closed on all sides, except for a palm-sized window under the cell door, and an iron window the size of a man's head on the high wall opposite the cell door.

The room was dimly lit, with a clay kang on the wall, less than a foot above the ground, with hay piled up on it, and a stinking gong bucket next to it.

"Big brother, what did Feng Zhutou tell you just now? Are we dead? Yang Guozhong was terrified in his heart and asked in a trembling voice. Deng Xie and the others were even more unbearable, their legs couldn't stop trembling, and they were almost unsteady on their feet.

"What are you afraid of, we can't die." With a perfunctory remark, Yang Ping'an looked around, gathered the hay on the soil kang, and sat cross-legged, "Aren't you tired?" Sit down and take a break. ”

The three of them climbed onto the kang and sat around Yang Ping'an, Deng Wei asked, "Big brother, you killed someone, aren't you afraid?" ”

If the county order was promoted to interrogate the four of them, Yang Ping'an might still be afraid, but he didn't go to court at all from home to prison, which made him feel a lot more at ease.

The prisons of ancient times were not much different from the prisons of later generations, the same darkness. For ordinary people, it is a monster that eats people and does not spit out bones, but for the powerful, it is just another stage for power and money to show - a more obscure stage.

That's right, Yang Ping'an has no power or power, he was a Diao Min in the Tang Dynasty, at best, he has a little money recently, but the problem is that there is not a Dou Ye with unknown intentions and unknown origin behind him?

He is not a person who is willing to be silent, but the history has changed its course, which makes him lose the prediction of future history, and he can only do business with peace of mind for the time being. But this doesn't mean that he can be bullied, especially the drunken Xiao Ge will take revenge, especially Feng Xiaobao's idea of daring to beat Dong'er.

In the face of Deng Wei's nervous inquiry, he chuckled: "Who said I killed someone?" We're the Four Tigers, can you not be so cowardly? ”

"An An, murder is a capital crime, and it is still the owner of the Drunken Sky Pavilion who is killed!" Xie Tiancheng was most scared, and even the orchid finger was deformed.

"You can stop for a while, you can keep your spirits up, maybe there will be a vicious fight in a while!"

"What kind of fight?"

"An An, what the hell are you talking about?"

Deng Xie and the others were confused, but Yang Guozhong understood, and his face changed greatly: "Big brother, do you mean...... The third and fourth, don't be noisy! ”

In the dim and cramped cell, there was silence again, and the pins could be heard, except for the sound of four breaths. Yang Ping'an's breath was steady, while the oil powder trio's breathing was rapid and disordered, hiding behind him, Yang Guozhong's eyes were fixed on the prison door.

The tormented waiting time always felt slow, and the smell of death gradually smelled in the air. Time passed little by little, Xu is the work of a cup of tea, Xu is two or three hours, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the prison door, pressing on the hearts of the oil powder trio, making them breathless, and they couldn't help but grab Yang Ping'an's shoulder.

With a "bang", the cell door was opened from the outside, and a middle-aged man with a thin body and long arms walked in.

The person who came in was recognized by the trio of oil powder, it was the head of the big firm, surnamed Wang. It wasn't the first time they had been put in a cell, so they had dealt with each other, but it was the first time they had been put in an inner cell.

A trace of gloom climbed into Yang Guozhong's heart, and he somewhat understood the darkness of the prison: "Wang Prison Boss, what are you doing here?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey." Wang Cellhead didn't answer, and he couldn't stop laughing, laughing so much that Deng Xie and the others felt furious.

"Lord Wang, are you here to let our brother out?"

"Lord Wang, our brother also has a little friendship with you, please be accommodating and let us out."

"Lao Tzu doesn't recognize the four of you!" Wang Cell's head turned his face ruthlessly, "You have caused a lot of trouble, and you still want to make friends with me?" ”

"And what are you doing here?" The oil-powder trio huddled in the corner with their faces as dead ashes, their eyes wide open to see what was really going on outside the prison door.

Yang Ping'an stood up from the earthen kang and said softly, "You're here to kill us, right?" Before I die, I wonder if you can fulfill one of my wishes, who have we offended? ”

came to the door to take people, and ordered to be killed on the spot if they resisted; did not go to the court, and after being caught, he was thrown directly into the inner prison; Buying the jailer to kill people, and the cell boss personally went out, this series of unusualness made Yang Ping'an realize that Feng Xiaobao, the owner of Zuixiao Pavilion, had an extraordinary background. Or maybe there was someone standing behind Feng Xiaobao.

"You're right. But I'm here to kill the three of them. As for you, I will give you a breath of relief, and you can ask those questions face to face. Okay, for the sake of acquaintance, let's say what other unfulfilled wishes the three of you have! ”

"I don't want to die!"

"Leave us alone!"

"My uncle holds an important position in the Ministry of Officials!"

The words of the oil powder trio, except for Yang Guozhong's last sentence, still have a bit of weight, and the words of Deng Xie and the others are like farts.

Wang Jiaotou glanced at Yang Guozhong and said, "Don't say that your cousin is a little outsider, even if the secretary is your father, you won't be able to live!" ”

Hiss - Feng Xiaobao's side is so big that he doesn't even pay attention to the secretary of the ministry? Yang Ping'an's expression froze, and he vaguely felt that he might have kicked the iron plate this time.

But......

He pondered for a moment and said, "Has Master Dou from Ruyi Gambling House ever been here?" ”

"Could it be that you still expect Master Dou to save you?" Wang Prison Boss snorted coldly, "Xiu Cai'an, you have a big deal this time, and ten Dou Masters are not good!" Send them on their way, and remember to give Xiucai a breath of relief. ”

As the words fell, the head of the cell was about to withdraw from the cell, and the sound of "rubbing" and drawing a knife came from outside the cell. Yang Ping'an would sit still and wait to die, and was about to storm up and capture the other party, when he heard another rush of footsteps outside the cell, followed by Feng Zhutou's voice from a distance.

"Stop!"

At the critical moment, Feng Zhutou arrived in time and brought one or twenty catchers. These catchers and the jailers held each other outside the cell, and Feng Zhutou walked into the cell by himself: "Wang Monkey, what you said just now, do you dare to say it again in front of Dou Ye!" ”

Wang Prison's face changed: "Feng Zhutou, what do you mean by this, could it be that you want to rob the prison and rebel!" ”

Although the power and network of the cell head are slightly inferior to that of the head catcher, this is a big prison and the territory of the king of the cell head. Moreover, he was greeted by a nobleman, and he would not back down in the face of Feng Zhutou.

"You don't want to spew feces all over your mouth!" Feng Zhutou said angrily, "The county lord has a life, and Yang Ping'an and the four of them are acquitted!" ”

"Impossible!"

"Hmph, Master Dou is now waiting for the four of Yang Gongzi outside the prison door, if you don't believe it, you can ask in person!"

Yang Ping'an and the four were acquitted, and everything that happened in the cell was like child's play. The casual grasp is relaxed, which makes the oil powder trio feel like they are in a fog.

thanked Feng Zhutou together, and promised to invite him to eat and drink in the future, Feng Zhutou laughed casually twice to deal with it, and then came to Yang Ping'an's side: "Yang Gongzi, please." Dou Ye was waiting behind the door, don't let him wait for a long time. ”

"Dou Ye has seen the county order?"

"Feng is a lowly person, how can Feng know about such an important matter? However, it was indeed the county lord who personally ordered the little one to accompany Dou Ye to greet the son. ”

Under the escort of Feng Zhutou and a group of fast catchers, Yang Ping'an and the four of them walked out of the prison. The oil powder trio remembered the sarcasm that Wang Cell Boss had given them before.

"Wang Monkey, I know where your family lives, be careful of your door in the future!"

"The surname Wang, the mountains and rivers have met, sooner or later you will know how powerful our Yanshi Four Tigers are!"

"Boss Wang, what you said contemptuously to my clan uncle and the official Shangshu just now, I will truthfully convey it to the county lord. If he ignores it, I will tell my uncle, you wait. ”

Everyone strode away, leaving only the head of the king's cell, whose face was pale and his legs trembled, and finally fell to the ground with a pop......

Outside the prison door, Dou Ye stood with his hands in his hands, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

He was not the only one waiting outside the door, but many others.

Yang Ping'an was the first to see Dong'er. The delicate little daughter-in-law had tears on her face, and she relied on Su Min's support to stand firm. Seeing Yang Ping'an come out intact, he shouted "Xianggong", threw Su Min away, hurriedly ran over, and threw himself into Yang Ping'an's arms.

"Xianggong, the slave family is so afraid that it will hurt you......"

"Don't cry, didn't I say it, I'll go and go back, isn't it okay."

"You still have the face to say!" Su Min sneered, "You acted recklessly, causing Sister Dong'er to worry about you and beg people everywhere, otherwise you think you can come out alive?" You're guilty of murder! ”

Yang Ping'an knew that Su Min still blamed himself for being inadvertently light on her twice, so he ignored her. Holding Dong'er and turning to Dou Ye: "Thank you second brother for coming to the rescue, brother will remember it in his heart, and he will definitely have a good reward!" ”

Since Yang Ping'an came out, Dou Ye's brows have stretched, and there is a smile on his face: "If you call me 'second brother', you are Brother Dou." When a brother is in trouble, how can an elder brother stand by and watch? ”

The oil powder trio is the best at climbing along the pole, and immediately ran in front of Dou Ye, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you second brother for your righteous action!" ”

"Go, you are also worthy of being Dou's brother! If it weren't for Brother Yang, Dou would have lived or died! ”

The face of the oily trio is not blown, how can a little scolding care? laughed and shouted Dou Ye, patting his ass and bragging.

At this time, Dong'er raised her head, choked up and whispered in Yang Ping'an's ear: "Xianggong can turn evil into good fortune this time, in addition to thanking Dou Ye, I also want to thank Qingqing girl." ”

Who? Young girl?

Yang Ping'an turned his head in astonishment, and saw that under the willow tree opposite, among the willow branches swaying lightly in the wind, a touch of graceful cyan pavilion was standing, and his face was half happy and half resentful, looking at himself, who else could it be if it wasn't Liu Qingqing?
