Chapter 3: Unjustly imprisoned

"What? You still want to pay the bill?! The old Taoist glared, and instantly rolled up his sleeves, and when I saw this posture, I dared to fight with me......

"No, no, don't dare to repay the debt, old Taoist, the junior did get five silver dollars, but this day must not pass slowly, and you can't spend all the money at once, right?" I said helplessly with a bitter face.

"You want to spend it all? That's right, I'm buying me a Luhua chicken, with some wild ginseng stew, the heat must be enough, otherwise the chicken soup will not taste good, and there will be ......"

"Stop, stop!" My legs were weak, and I almost knelt on the ground, and hurriedly shouted with a bitter face: "Old Daoist, you spent all my savings with such a meal, so how can I afford to treat you for two more meals?" ”

"You can't invite me to a second meal today, some flowers are good flowers, go and go, I'm hungry......" The old Taoist smiled strangely, and looked at me meaningfully, waved his hand, and said: "By the way, buy me a pair of shoes, it's best to buy another set of clothes, I'll take it off later, you can wash it, I guess I can wear it for a while......"

As he spoke, the old Taoist raised his feet and took a look, and suddenly there was a pungent smell of stinky feet, I finally couldn't help it, turned around and hugged the door frame and opened my mouth to retch!

Tossed for a morning, finally bought back the things arranged by the old Taoist one by one, and took some wild ginseng, stewed together with the Luhua chicken, and held out two jars of flower carvings painfully, before I stewed the chicken soup, I only heard the old Taoist shouting for wine, I sighed bitterly, if these three meals are returned like this, I have to sell the house if I don't finish repaying it.

But the grandfather owes a debt of favor, and as a grandson, he can only repay the debt sincerely, and he dare not slack off.

After eating and drinking for an afternoon, in the end there was only a bowl of chicken soup left, and the old Taoist smiled drunkenly and hazy: "Wine! You are a good boy, Chen Laoxian owes me three meals, you can pay it back, but there are still two meals, you want ...... But remember......"

"I remember, I remember, but the old Taoist, can you respect my grandfather, I always call Chen Laoxian a mouthful, how bad it is......" I picked up the chicken soup aggrievedly and drank it in a big gulp, now I am also hungry, if I don't appreciate it, I'm afraid I won't even have this bowl of chicken soup.

"Haha! You fart kid, don't let me say it, you just said a Chen Laoxian ......" The old Taoist staggered to his feet, and suddenly slapped his palm on the table, which shocked me and made me stunned, the soup bowl in my hand almost fell to the ground, and the old Taoist laughed: "You go, no matter what...... Don't even come back......"

"Oh." I hurriedly stood up and answered honestly, but as soon as I took a step out of the threshold, I was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "Old Daoist, where are you letting me go?" ”

"I'm sleeping!" The old man waved his hand and rushed into the inner room with a big grin, and after a while, he heard a thunderous snoring.

"This ...... What's going on? It's my home, and you let me go, really! I turned around and returned to the table angrily, picked up half a bowl of chicken soup and poured it into my stomach, wiped my mouth, and sighed lightly, I finally finished tossing, I don't know what happened today, I thought that I had come to fortune, and I knew that I would meet such a living Hades, so I should have predicted today's taboo in advance.

"Bang!"

"Chen Xiaojiu! Come out now! ”

Suddenly, the courtyard door was violently slammed open, and accompanied by a cold shout, I turned my head to look, almost scared, five or six heavily armed police members, "hula" into the courtyard, the leading police captain with a piece of paper, coldly scanned the courtyard around.

I hurriedly ran out, nodded head-on, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any instructions for your sudden visit?" ”

"To what? Chen Xiaojiu, we were ordered to arrest you! The leading policeman raised the arrest warrant in his hand and motioned to the two sergeants next to him to tie me up, but when I saw that the two sergeants really came over, I hurriedly retreated.

"Sheriff, what crime have I committed? Why are you tying me up? "I struggled, but I still couldn't resist the two five big and three rough sergeants, in fact, even if I could break free, I didn't dare to break free, and I fought with the government, it was asking for my own hardship......

"You are suspected of killing Niu Laocai in Phoenix Village, and you also received black money, a few of you, search his body and see the whereabouts of the black money!" The leading policeman ordered the other two sergeants to search me, and soon, I was all over my body, and even the family heirloom Yin-Yang Mirror that I had collected close to me was also obtained.

After tossing for a long time, I still didn't find a valuable thing, I was secretly grateful to the old Taoist for his help, thanks to his meal of eating and drinking, and all the five silver dollars he earned in the morning were folded in, otherwise he was searched by these policemen, then I would be convicted of collecting black money.

"Sheriff, no belongings received!" One of the sergeants replied respectfully.

"No?" The leading policeman looked at me suspiciously, then looked around, and finally saw a pile of meat and bones on the table, and immediately said in annoyance: "Okay, you! The black money you just got was spent by you, and now you have nothing to say, right? Take! ”

"Sheriff! I didn't kill Niu Laocai, Niu Laocai was fine when he left last night, how can I say that I am dead? Sheriff, check it out, don't wronged the good guys! "I hurriedly put the heirloom in my pocket and screamed, but two of the sergeants tied me up and carried me out!

"The people in the prison of our police station all claim to be wronged, you kid don't need to quibble, kill to pay for your life, wait to be shot!" The leading policeman waved his hand, and I hesitated for a moment, only to feel that I had been hit the back of the head, and then my eyes went black, and I lost consciousness.

"Which bastard beat me!" Suddenly opened my eyes, I screamed in pain, but when I saw the surrounding scenery, there was a sudden change, in the dark and humid air, there was a withered yellow kerosene lamp, and after a closer look, I found that this was a small house, no, this was a prison cell!

"Xiaojiu, are you awake?" In a trance, I saw an unkempt man walking towards me, and I subconsciously shouted, "Who are you?!" ”

"Alas! I'm Sun Fatty......" It was really Sun Fatzi's voice, but he actually became ragged at the moment, covered in blood, and I don't know what kind of crime he has committed.

Before I could ask in surprise, I only heard an old voice coming from a dark corner: "The Daomen is unfortunate, the only three remaining Daoists in our Sage Village have been wrongfully imprisoned, it seems that demons are rampant, and there will be a catastrophe here......"

"Huh? Old man Wu?! You, you've been caught too? What, what's going on? I was completely stunned, but when I saw Old Man Wu sighing and looking up at the skylight, he didn't answer my plan.

I hurriedly stood up, twisted my muscles and bones, only the back of my head was still faintly painful, and when I reached out and touched it, I immediately grinned in pain, I was so fucking willing to do it, and it actually swollen up a big bag.

"Fat Sun, what's the matter with your injury?" I stepped forward to look at Sun Fatzi, only to see his big round face, blue and red at the moment, it seems that the person who beat him was also ruthless.

"Alas! Don't mention it, I get angry when I mention this, last night there was a young woman, who claimed to be the wife of the cowhide in Phoenix Village, and asked me to help their family do a prayer and transfer ceremony, and said that her man's cowhide has always been unable to make money during this time, but before I could ask for the above table, just lit the incense, the woman's man cowhide suddenly broke into the house from the outside, and scolded me loudly when he saw me! Sun Fatzi said with a bitter face, and his face was full of grievances.

"It's a good thing that you help their family do things and turn their fortune into wealth, so why does the cowhide scold you?" I said angrily with some grief.

"I thought so at first, but it's okay not to theorize, and as soon as I theorized a few words, the fight started...... Oops...... "Fat Sun hummed in pain, and tears almost fell out.

After a while, I heard Sun Fatzi twist and pinch to say the reason, it turned out that Cowhide misunderstood his wife to steal men, just because his wife did not abide by the woman's way is a well-known thing, and he was often caught, but this time, he couldn't help but beat Sun Fatzi, Cowhide's wife wanted to resist, but was directly killed, and then Cowhide sued the police, and the people at the police station arrested Sun Fatzi, on the grounds that he had attempted to molest a woman from a good family, so he had murderous intentions.

"And what about the real murderer?" I asked with a bitter sigh.

"The one who suffered a thousand knives, most of them are at ease at this time, what do you say is the matter with you? On weekdays, you can't even take a business from your poor path, how can you get into trouble with the official family? Sun Fatzi looked at me in a daze, his face full of puzzlement.

I immediately told Niu Laocai about the whole process of Niu Laocai asking me to do an errand and the mysterious death when I returned home afterwards, and then, Sun Fatzi and I looked at the old man Wu in the dark corner.

"You don't have to look at me, speaking of which, I'm about the same as the two of you, I'm thinking, isn't someone deliberately trapping the three of us and arresting the three of us!" Old man Wu analyzed angrily.

"Old man Wu, your analysis is not right, the three of us are all Taoist laymen, the most taboo is to cause trouble, and we are all kind to others on weekdays, how can someone rectify us, and it is still three people together, but it is strange to say, the three of us are the only three remaining Taoist masters in the Sage Village, if we are all arrested, who will the villagers go to if they have something to do?" Fat Sun rubbed his chin and said with his eyes squeezed.

"Looking for whom? Whoever has the ability to find whom! Old man Wu replied angrily, I sat on the side, and I was even more angry, it seems that from last night to now, I feel that my qi has been sinking, isn't it a family missionary sent to my generation, is it really going to be broken?

"Hula!"

At that moment, the door of the cell was pushed open, and in an instant, two heavily armed sergeants strode to either side, and the last one was the lead sergeant who had arrested me.

In the cold environment, facing such a gloomy face, Sun Fatzi and I looked at each other, and we both felt a little bad!

"Sheriff, we were all wronged!" Sun Fatzi shouted with a bitter face.

"Yes! We were really wronged! I chimed in.

I saw that the sheriff didn't speak, found a chair and sat down, glanced at the three of us lightly, and after a long time, he sneered: "I know that you are wronged, and the few people who wronged you are not dead at all!" ”
