Listening to the shouts of grievances one after another, the county magistrate slapped the table and said: "This group of Diao people, it seems that they are unwilling to tell the truth if they are not punished!" ”

An uncontrollable resentment churned in Mu Feng's heart, he broke away from the few officials who were grabbing him, rushed forward in a few steps and overturned the county official's table, and scolded loudly: "Aren't these silver taels related to you!" You dog-like corrupt official is simply dirty with this official hat on your head. ”

After speaking, Mu Feng also knocked off the official hat on the county official's head. The county magistrate was so frightened by him that he shouted, "What are you doing in a daze!" Are they all looking forward to my assassination? ”

More officials rushed forward and beat Mu Feng for a while, looking at the county official's dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, Liang Miaomiao only felt cold all over his body, it seems that Mu Feng is right!

Could it be that the county magistrate deducted this money himself and planned to smuggle it away?

Soon they were put in prison. There was a smell of decay in the prison, and a breathless smell of blood.

After the officials threw them into their cells one by one, they left in a hurry, leaving only a few people to guard them.

Liang Wei guessed that they were going to find the six big men who were tied up in the abandoned temple.

Mu Feng offended the county officials very badly and was tied to the torture rack. The salt-soaked whip whipped coldly on his body, his clothes torn, and his flesh was bloodied.

Where did Mu Feng, who had fine skin and tender flesh, suffer such a crime, and he wanted to hold back his screams but couldn't help it, and with a muffled snort, a broken moan overflowed from his bleeding teeth.

Then, a more dense rain of whips fell, and the official said in a skillful tone: "To recruit or not to recruit!" ”

Mu Feng raised his head suddenly, and hatred erupted like a spark: "What moves? ”

The official didn't know what to call him, and just wanted to tame the stubbornness on his face. As long as he admits it, it is not easy to recruit him.

It was dipped in salt water again, and the whip sounded again. The candles were faint in the dimly lit cell, and the whip-bearers were as hideous as evil spirits, and the night was not shining.

Liang Wei curled up in the corner in horror, covering his ears with his hands, his scalp tingling and trembling.

It's cold, it's cold, I don't know if it's the cold clothes that are wet, or the bottom of my heart is cold.

The sound of the whip hitting her body was like a magic sound, and she had already collapsed.

"Don't fight, don't fight......" She seemed to be praying for the officials, more like praying for God.

In the end, the officials were tired. At some point, a few rays of light came in from outside, and the repeated torture finally ended.

Mu Feng was thrown back into his cell, lying limply on the ground, his eyes blurred by the slow-flowing blood. He couldn't see everything in front of him, but he felt a pair of Qianqian's thin hands reaching out from the next cell, desperately trying to reach him.

It took a lot of effort for Liang Wei to drag him to his side, and the two of them were only separated by a row of cold iron pillars.

She sobbed lowly, tearing her dress, just as he had bandaged her wounds when they first met, carefully and gently piercing the whips for him.

"I'm sorry." Mu Feng's bloodless lips opened slightly, and he said apologetically: "I've tired you." ”

He lay there half-dead, thinking to himself that he was a man, and that he should have protected her, but now he had dragged her to such a point.

Mu Feng's words made Liang Wei's heart ache again, she held his cold hand and said to him: "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago, every second I live, no matter how I live, I am grateful in my heart." ”

Liang Wei was telling the truth. Mu Feng thought that she was talking about saving him today, but he didn't know that from a long time ago, Liang Wei was always thinking about him in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that she and Zhang Tianchen robbed some things in his house when she was young and sold them, how could she be a little girl who could live safely until now.

For countless nights, she would think of the little boy hiding in the boiling platform, struggling with those innocent and desperate eyes, and saying to her, "Please......"

Although she is still doing things of cheating, she is principled and never cheats poor people, let alone takes other people's life-saving money. Most of those who were recruited were greedy and lustful, and Liang Wei watched them bully the poor people, and even felt that he was fighting violence and peace.

If she hadn't met Mu Feng before, she might still be as heartless as before, but now that she has met Mu Feng, her guilt can't let her leave safely at all.

Mu Feng coughed up some blood and said, "Later, if the dog official interrogated, you just said that you were passing by to watch the excitement and were mistakenly arrested, don't have anything to do with me." ”

"And what do you do?"

Mu Feng was silent. The people sue the officials, like a son killing his father. Fifty flogs are required before the case can be opened. If the officials embraced each other, they could only go to Beijing to sue the emperor, and if they wanted to meet the saint, they had to be slapped in the face, and they had to roll the nail board, and they had to recite the content of the complaint while rolling, and they could not be accepted without a single mistake. Even if you go through many difficulties and finally meet the Holy One, you will win by luck, and the complainant will be punished.

Therefore, he said with difficulty: "If you are lucky enough to get out, please go to the Xiao Mansion in Huaguan Lane and tell your uncle to choose another good son-in-law, don't save me." The key to my account room is hidden in Xiao Er's makeup box, and all the belongings of the Mu Mansion should be regarded as repaying the Xiao family's nurturing kindness......"

Liang Wei nodded tearfully, but made another plan in his heart.

Soon, the county magistrate finally came over for interrogation and helped Mu Feng draw up a set of explanations, asking him to confess according to the explanations. The sound of the drum last night woke up the people around them, and many of them were curious about what happened when they saw Mu Feng enter the mansion.

Mu Fengren refused to recruit, and was tortured by them half-dead. The county magistrate watched for a long time and was a little impatient, and hastily ordered: "Don't beat people to death, force him until he is willing to make a move." ”

With that, he prepared to leave this uncomfortable, dimly lit cell. Liang Miaomiao saw that he wanted to leave, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord—"

The voice was delicate and crisp, and the county magistrate couldn't help but turn around, only to see the beautiful girl crying with pear blossoms and rain, her face full of fear and grievances.

Her long eyelashes fanned slightly with crystal teardrops, and her rain-soaked clothes clinged tightly to her body, showing her bumpy figure. Moreover, her good clothes were torn in several places, revealing her blown and elastic skin.

She trembled and said, "My lord, last night the little woman met a drunk man who wanted to do something bad to me. I fled in a hurry, and when I saw the gate of the county government open, I wanted to ask the officials for help. Who knew that disturbing the official master to arrest the bandits was really a crime that deserved death. I just ask the official to inform my mother and let the little girl have someone to collect the body. ”
