Man Gui shouted: "Who is kneeling? ”

Seeing that Ling Feng didn't speak, he slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted sharply: "Who is kneeling?" ”

One of the two officials hurriedly replied, "Lord Hui, the prisoner Ling Feng has brought it." ”

Man Gui glared at the pair of little thief eyes, pointed at Ling Feng with his hand, and shouted: "Bold thief, why didn't you answer when the official asked you?" ”

Ling Feng replied lazily, "Your grandfather is kneeling down there!" ”

"Bold! dared to speak out and despise his own officials. Man Gui shouted angrily, "Come on, call me!" ”

"Huh!" Four officials with big shoulders and round waists rushed out from both sides, rushed up and pressed Ling Feng to the ground, picked up the water and fire stick in his hand and shone it on Ling Feng's back.

Because of the experience of being tortured in the early morning, Ling Feng felt that his ability to resist beatings was still very strong, so he was not stunned when he heard that Man Gui was going to beat him. And he gradually felt that there seemed to be some kind of strange power in his body, which was manifested in the fact that if he was attacked somewhere in his body, as long as his mind was concentrated there, the pain would be instantly reduced. It's just that this idea is not quite certain at the moment. Therefore, when the stick landed on Ling Feng's back, he didn't cry wolf as Mangui wished, and he didn't even snort, but concentrated on verifying his thoughts again and again.

After the messy beating, Ling Feng was even more determined in his previous thoughts. With this valuable experience, it was of great help to Ling Feng's current predicament, so Ling Feng couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

Man Gui snorted coldly: "How is it?" Killing the awesome tastes good, right? ”

Ling Feng raised his head, smiled, and said, "Not bad!" ”

Man Gui looked at Ling Feng's smile, opened his mouth wide, and said in his heart, this kid is not a crazy person, how can anyone laugh when he is beaten.

Man Gui ran out of ideas for a while, and glanced at his master Zhang Tingzhi, who was sitting at the bottom of the left side.

Master Zhang Tingzhi is in his thirties, medium stature, dressed as a scholar, and looks quite handsome, although he is not a jade tree in the wind, but he can also be called a dignified appearance, and at first glance he is the kind of pretentious person who thinks he is smarter than others. It's a pity that a pair of triangular eyes were born on this handsome face, which makes people annoyed.

Zhang Tingzhi came to Man Gui's side and said in a low voice: "My lord, just now I watched coldly and found that this person has martial arts. And according to Zhang Jia, the cell leader, he was executed last night, but it had no effect. ”

Man Gui said: "Then in your opinion, how should this official interrogate him next?" ”

Zhang Tingzhizhi: "Listening to what Zhang Jia said, when Zhang Qing, who was guarding the yamen, handed over this person to him, he said that he suspected that this person was the work of Fanbang. Your Excellency, please see, there is something suspicious about this man, he does not have braids. Since we can't get a confession with torture, we can only deceive him into drawing a confession. Once he draws the charge, we can report it to the court, and we can behead him, which is also a great achievement for you, my lord. ”

Man Gui felt justified and nodded: "That's very good!" But how can he be made to draw a line on his confession? ”

Zhang Tingzhi: "If the hard one doesn't work, let's come to the soft one." Then he attached it to Mangui's ear and whispered. Listening to Mangui, he nodded frequently.

Ling Feng, who was kneeling at the bottom of the hall, saw a person who looked like a bad ghost scholar leaning into the prefect's ear and muttering in his ear for a long time, it must not be something beneficial to him, so he said impatiently: "Have you said enough, if you don't torture Lao Tzu again, you will quickly send Lao Tzu back to sleep." I got Lao Tzu up in the middle of the night last night, and now I'm sleepy. With that, he yawned.

Zhang Tingzhi walked down the high platform with square steps, came to Ling Feng, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Okay!" The hero is a young man, and Little Brother Ling is really arrogant! The contemptible man is the master of this ya, surnamed Zhang Mingtingzhi, and he admires Brother Ling very much. Just now, the contemptible people told our prefect that we should take a brave talent like Brother Ling for our own use. The prefect has already agreed, I don't know what Little Brother Ling thinks? ”

Zhang Tingzhi brought down Ling Feng with this high hat, making Ling Feng in the clouds, and he didn't know which sentence was true and which sentence was false. The heart said, how can I be arrogant and brave in the world, and it is not this boast to praise people. The last sentence is that I understand and want me to mess with him. What's the conspiracy here? Ling Feng couldn't figure it out.

Zhang Tingzhi saw that Ling Feng was still kneeling on the ground, looking at himself blankly, and hurriedly said, "Quick!" Brother Fuling got up and opened the shackles. ”

Hearing this, the two servants who were pressing Ling Feng hurriedly helped Ling Feng up and opened the shackles around Ling Feng's neck.

Ling Feng was completely stunned by this sudden appearance, first moving his wrists and neck, and then asked weakly, "Are you really going to let me go?" ”

Zhang Tingzhi said happily: "This is nature. ”

Man Gui pretended to have a kind face and said, "Ling Zhuangshi, please come forward and speak." ”

Ling Feng felt that happiness had come too quickly, and he didn't know which leg to take first when he stepped towards Mangui. Ling Feng didn't know that in the Qing Dynasty, if he didn't keep braids, he would have to cut off his head, and he naively thought that the suffering of these days could finally come to an end. Not only did he regain his freedom, but he could also hug the big "thick legs" of the prefect of Hangzhou, and there was hope for his future life.

Ling Feng came to Man Gui, learned from the appearance of a contemporary person, hugged his fists and said, "Hello, my lord!" ”

Man Gui nodded slightly and asked, "Ling Zhuangshi, are you willing to follow this official?" ”

Ling Feng was naturally willing.

Then, Man Gui symbolically asked Ling Feng's age, where his hometown was, and the purpose of coming here. Ling Feng answered them one by one, except for the crossing incident, he didn't hide anything else. Of course, when these words are heard in Mangui's ears, they naturally feel that they are full of mistakes and omissions, and they are not true. But because there is still a future, Mangui doesn't care.

After asking, Man Gui said to Ling Feng: "Ling Zhuangshi, this official still has official business to deal with, you go to the back hall with Master Zhang to eat and rest first, and then come to accompany the official after he is busy with business." Then, he instructed Zhang Tingzhi to take Ling Feng to the back hall.

Zhang Tingzhi was afraid that Ling Feng would escape, so he specially selected four sturdy servants to accompany him, and he called it a beautiful name to serve Ling Feng. Ling Feng left the lobby with Zhang Tingzhi, and along the way, Zhang Tingzhi accepted Ling Feng with all his heart, and said a lot of beautiful words, praising Ling Feng as rare in the sky and difficult to find on the ground. After arriving at the back hall, Zhang Tingzhi immediately ordered his subordinates to clean up the banquet, saying that he wanted to wash the dust for Ling Feng, and Ling Feng, who was moved, almost cried, and then the two became brothers.
