The girl blushed with shame, lowered her head, tears in her lovely big eyes, and her snow-white teeth gently bit her pink lips.

The shopkeeper couldn't bear it anymore, let go of the hand holding the girl's wrist, and was about to speak, when he saw a few catchers with knives walking in, and the leader shouted: "If Zi Shengming and Haiqing Heyan are stealing people's property in broad daylight today!" ”

When the shopkeeper saw the group, he hurriedly saluted, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Wang Zhutou, if you want to taste the craftsmanship of the villain, call a brother to say hello, and the little one will naturally send you to the door, why do you need to run in person?" ”

In the feudal society, the people who catch fast, the yamen and others seem to be the people of the yamen, the scenery is unlimited, in the eyes of the officials is just a group of cheap servants, calling and drinking, beating and scolding at will, these people are angry with the officials, and they are sprinkled on the people, how to say that they are also people who do things for the yamen, although they are cheap servants, the common people can never afford to provoke them, otherwise, they will throw you a pair of small shoes, and you will look good if you don't wear them!

Among the farmers and industrialists, the merchants are at the bottom, and this group of people is at the lowest level of society, and they dare not provoke this group of catchers, so when the shopkeeper speaks, it is like serving his father.

Wang Zhutou pointed at the girl, twisted his eyebrows, and said, "This is a thief?" ”

The shopkeeper said that if this girl falls into the hands of this group of people, her life will be ruined, and a little girl must have some difficulty in coming out to steal money.

The shopkeeper was kind-hearted and wanted to cover it up, but before he could speak, the girl said in a low voice, "I stole the money." With that, tears rolled down her cheeks.

When Wang Zhutou heard this, he laughed dryly twice, and said to the people watching around him: "See, the prisoner has already confessed!" Then he said to the catchers, "Take it away!" ”

A few catchers quickly took the girl out of the shop.

Shen Wanqing looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Don't you think this matter is wrong?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Yes, depending on the situation, the shopkeeper already wants to exonerate the girl, but why does she have to admit it herself?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Let's go and see!" The two threw down the money and chased in the direction the group had left.

With Shen Wanqing's tracking skills, it was not a problem to follow the group, and after a while, I saw the group carrying the girl into a small alley.

The two secretly looked inside the corner, only to see Wang Zhutou unscrupulously patting the girl's face, and said to his subordinates: "With such a tender face, you can't mix rice and eat in any kiln, but I didn't expect to steal other people's money." ”

The subordinate echoed with a wicked smile: "That's right! Good sister, my brother will let you see a few mothers, and I promise that you will eat and drink without worry. ”

Wang Zhutou suddenly reached out and grabbed the girl's chest, pinched it vigorously, and said to his subordinates while pinching: "No wonder I don't go to the kiln, it turns out that there is not much meat on my body!" ”

The girl stretched out her hand to push his hand away, crying and saying, "Let go of me, it hurts." ”

But the girl's strength is not as big as Wang Zhutou's, and she struggled twice and failed to break free, which caused everyone to laugh wildly.

Shen Wanqing couldn't stand it anymore, she shouted angrily and walked out of the corner.

Wang Zhutou let go of the girl, and when he saw that Shen Wanqing was also a young girl, he suddenly had a bad heart, and said with a wicked smile: "Seeing that brother touching that sister, are you greedy?" ”

Shen Wanqing sneered and said, "You let her go, I will spare you from death!" ”

Lin Yuan also walked out at this time, he stared at Wang Zhutou and said, "Who are you?" ”

There is an old saying in China, words are tigers that block the way, clothes are oozing hair, this Lin Yuan is extraordinary, Wang Zhutou's arrogance was slightly restrained, he asked: "Who are you?" ”

Lin Yuan sneered: "What kind of thing are you, and you deserve to know who I am, you called me the governor of Zhili!" ”

The governor of Zhili is Li Hongzhang, Lin Yuan knows that with this head catcher, it is impossible to see Li Hongzhang, so he is just scaring him.

Wang Zhutou saw that Lin Yuan was the governor of Zhili as soon as he opened his mouth, and he knew that this person was not small, and when he was suspicious, a subordinate came up and said: "Wang Tou, let's go quickly, this person is Lin Yuan!" ”

When Wang Zhutou heard this, he was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he took people to fly like flying, and ran away without his life.

Shen Wanqing took the girl in her arms at this time, comforted her softly, the girl cried in her arms, and after a while, she stopped crying, she raised her head and asked Shen Wanqing: "Sister, you are all very capable people, right?" Otherwise it won't scare them away. ”

Lin Yuan walked over, he had a stomach of questions to ask, and just as he was about to speak, the girl said, "Can you take me to a place where I can meet someone." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Okay, where do you want to go?" ”

The girl said, "I want to go to prison." ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "Who do you want to see?" ”

When the girl heard this, tears fell again, and Shen Wanqing hurriedly said, "Don't cry, I won't ask." ”

When he came to the prison, as soon as Lin Yuan showed out the seal, no one stopped him, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw an old man walking out of the cell with a person on his back, and the jailer on the side scolded him: "Why did you come to collect the body so late today, and which girl went to the belly last night to be happy!" ”

When the girl heard this, she found that what the old man was carrying on his back turned out to be a stiff dead corpse, the dead corpse's clothes had been stripped clean, and it was naked, and its mud-stained body was full of bruises and corpse spots.

At this time, it happened that the old man passed by them with the corpse on his back, the girl was trembling with fright, hiding behind Shen Wanqing, Lin Yuan said: "Don't be afraid, the prison in this era is like this, the conditions inside are extremely poor, and dead people are a common thing." ”

When they entered the cell, a damp smell mixed with the smell of feces and urine came to their faces, and the prisoners in the cells on both sides of the road saw two girls like flowers and jades coming in, and their eyes were staring at them, eager to strip them naked with their eyes!

At this moment, the girl stopped outside a cell, Lin Yuan looked into the cell, and saw that there was a prisoner with a flail inside, and he propped the flail on the ground, so that he could only kneel on the ground, and his buttocks were pouted high, like a pig fighting for food.

The ancient flail had various weights, and the prisoner carried a thick layer of iron, which seemed to weigh at least hundreds of pounds, and such weight was pressed on the wrists and shoulders, and the flesh and skin of the person were quickly worn out, and the prisoner had to kneel on the ground with dignity in order to reduce the pain of the wrists and shoulders.

The girl crouched down, threw herself on the bars of the prison, and cried out in a loud voice, "Daddy! Daddy! ”

The prisoner raised his head, his bruised face peeking out of his messy hair, and Shen Wanqing was stunned when she saw it, that prisoner was the traitor she had seen - Xu Bin.
