Chapter 86
Chu Cheng spread half of her hair, covering half of her face, looking extremely embarrassed. His elbow was held by Hu Yuyangla, and he lowered his head to look at his toes, and he wanted to laugh inexplicably in his heart.
Thinking that she is the noble golden branch and jade leaf of Dayuanding, and now she is pretending to be a widow who cuckolds, and she is pretending to be a murderer who assassinates the ministers of the court, and the days of escaping from the palace are becoming more and more exciting.
She has no regrets about what she did when she ran away from marriage and left Beijing.
A pair of rusty shackles on her wrists wore out the skin of her snow-white and delicate wrists, Hu Yu was a careful person, and he couldn't help but care: "Madam, why don't I take off the shackles for you?" ”
Chu Cheng glared at him and lowered her voice: "Do a full set of acts!" Don't call me Madame, lest you arouse suspicion. ”
Yang La felt that Mrs. Lin was very rational when facing business. But it's just such a person, and Lord Lin, who can straighten them up at any time, jumps to his feet.
He couldn't help but sigh, this is also a kind of ability.
The three of them shook around on the way from the grain and oil shop to the county office, and when they returned to the county office, it was just dark.
Walking to the place with the most people in the main hall, Gu Jingtong came on the field.
He stretched out his folding fan, gritted his teeth and said, "You can be regarded as catching Second Sister Chun!" Do you think that if someone gives you a tip-off, we won't be able to catch you? ”
Chu Cheng lowered her head and didn't speak, her long hair covered her face, and she bit her lip to make a look of remorse.
Gu Jingtong said to Hu Yuyang again: "Take her to the second room of the prison, and wait for Lord Lin to get better tomorrow before interrogating and convicting." All eighteen kinds of torture are used, don't believe her, don't recruit it! Hmph, unless she can spread her wings and escape! ”
Yang La laughed, looking confident: "Don't worry, with Li Prison watching, she can't run!" ”
Hu Yu also hurriedly answered: "Gu Xiancheng, I finally caught the murderer, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, wait a while to buy a few jars of daughter red, let's have a drink in the front hall!" ”
"That's a good proposal!"
The three of them talked loudly, and Gu Jingtong warmly invited everyone else to participate.
After a while, Hu Yu and Yang La escorted Chu Cheng to the prison.
Yang La looked around at no one and said in a low voice: "Madam, the prison is damp and dark, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid there are still rats and cockroaches, I have wronged you. ”
When Chu Cheng heard this, she did frown.
But thinking of Feng He and the other servants who were ambushed in the shadows of the prison, she shook her head and said in a deep voice: "I am not the only one who has been wronged, I am born as a human being, and we are all equal. As long as I can catch the murderer, rats and cockroaches are nothing, and it is impossible for me to eat them left and right. ”
Yang La and Hu Yu couldn't help but agree deeply when they heard this, but they were amused by her humorous ridicule.
No wonder Lord Lin is so tolerant of Mrs. Lin, such a smart, delicate and sensible woman, who doesn't like it.
Chu Cheng's location was in the second room of the prison, and there were other prisoners in the prison, so Hu Yu had no choice but to push her in, and said in a vicious voice: "Be honest!" The day after tomorrow, I will sentence you to a decisive decision! After speaking, he dropped the lock heavily and left with Yang La.
After the two left, there was silence in the prison.
Chu Cheng was pampered, but she was a little afraid of the fluffy black rat and the big cockroach that could fly.
She pulled aside the straw that had been laid on the ground, sat down in a small patch of polished space, and buried her head in her knees.
The night was deep, and a lack of moon hung on the plane treetops, and the light from the small skylight sprinkled like hoarfrost.
Chu Cheng gathered the robe on her body and felt that the surroundings were extremely cold.
She raised her wrist and used the moonlight to flick the shackled abrasions, her fingers frozen and not at all flexible.
I don't sleep in the middle of the night and suffer here, and I don't know if this strategy will work? If it is a bamboo basket to draw water, it is empty...... Chu Cheng shook her head, it's best not to think like that. She felt that she was righteous enough, and she was starving and freezing here for Lin Boqin, which was not much worse than the two ribs she had done.
The night was long and boring.
Chu Cheng leaned her cheeks through the skylight, looked at the cold moon, and sighed.
Lin Boqin, Lin Boqin, you must not let her go back to the palace, to be honest, she really doesn't want to bury the rest of her life to save him. But after a good acquaintance, seeing him die, Chu Cheng couldn't bear it.
She bit the joints of her fingers that were frozen and itchy, and thought to herself, Lin Boqin deserved it if he couldn't escape the disaster this time, who called him always cold and indifferent, he was a handsome boy, but his eyes were always frosty, making it difficult to approach.
Princess Huarong has a good temper, and everyone in the entire palace knows it.
She laughed with Lin Boqin at any time, but he was good, and he had only smiled at her for so long.
Hmph, that's not counting the ones who were laughed at by her.
Chu Cheng wrung her fingers and silently counted Lin Boqin's "crimes" there, and before she knew it, it was the second half of the night.
Even though she is a martial arts practitioner and is not afraid of the cold and heat, the cold wind blowing into this cold, damp and dark prison still gives Chu Cheng goosebumps all over her body.
She looked up at the sky and saw where the moon had risen, gradually moving eastward from the beginning of the month, and by the middle of the month, it had gradually moved from east to west.
Li Prison Head had already been dragged out to drink by Yang La and Hu Yu, and it was quiet all around, only the sound of shallow breathing from other cell rooms was faintly heard.
I don't know where Feng He's people are hiding, it's too stuffy inside, it's too cold outside, so it's not too bad to think that she is squatting here. Chu Cheng was thinking wildly, and at this moment, there was a sudden "click" sound outside the door.
She lifted her heart and sat slightly on her side, brushing her long hair to cover her face, leaning against the rough wall.
The door of the prison was opened, and Chu Cheng looked at it with her peripheral vision, only to see two masked men in night clothes, holding silver dangling knives, sneakily coming this way.
The two of them saw Chu Cheng in red at a glance.
One of them stepped forward quickly, glanced at the copper lock, and shook his head: "I can't open it." The other pointed at Chu Cheng and scolded: "The adults told you not to appear in Qingyuan County, why did you run back without knowing whether you were alive or dead?" ”
Chu Cheng sobbed twice and didn't speak.
"Cry, cry, cry, know to cry! I said that women are useless, but Lord Cai always doesn't believe it! The man slashed the copper lock with a knife, but when he heard a "bang", the copper lock loosened a little. He continued to scold: "Women are useless, lame women are even more useless!" This case could have been handled seamlessly, but because you were stupid, we came to rob you in the middle of the night! ”
After saying that, he slashed down with a hard knife, and the copper lock was finally broken.
"Come with us!" The two pushed the door in, and grabbed Chu Cheng's arm and were about to pull it out.
I don't know what's going on with the ambush outside, and it hasn't appeared yet. Chu Cheng was anxious, how could she allow them to leave so easily, she was so bold that she simply pulled the sleeve of the person's sleeve back: "Why do you want to go with you?" You just said Master Cai...... What does Lord Cai have to do with Wu Guangbi's death? ”
"You-"
Her voice is delicate and crisp, and it is exceptionally clear in the quiet of the night.
The two of them noticed that something was wrong, and when they looked back, the woman with green silk and ink looked extremely beautiful, and a pair of feet under the skirt were in delicate shape, not the lame half-old at all!
"You...... You're not Second Sister Chun! One of them asked in disbelief.
Chu Ji sneered: "I'm your aunt!" ”
The torches at the door suddenly lit up, and a large wave of neatly dressed swordsmen poured in. There are people from the government and people from the county government, and they are stunned.
"Brother, this girl is a trick in us!"
As he spoke, he was about to raise the knife and put it on Chu Cheng's neck.
Chu Cheng found a tricky angle, and easily moved to break free, the man looked at the empty hand, even if he covered his face, he was confused.
Jokes, she is an old man, she wants to threaten her, but there is no door!
The man thought that he had missed for a while, and he wanted to take Chu Cheng as a hostage again, but in the next second, the yacha rushed in.
The masked man gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brother, fight with them!" ”
After saying that, the two of them fought with these yamen in one place. The two of them had obviously learned three-legged cat kung fu, which was much more powerful than these yacha who didn't know martial arts, and seeing that they were about to escape, Chu Cheng took a step forward, grabbed a handful of broken soil from the ground, and raised it towards the eyes of the two.
This slight obstruction delayed time, and Feng He arrived just in time.
The thin sword came in an instant like a pool of clear water, and with a "poof" sound, he picked off the opponent's big knife, turned around, lowered his head and waved the sword, instantly breaking the tendons and veins of the two people's feet, and there was no possibility of escape.
The two of them fell to the ground in pain, clutching the wounds on their feet and wailing, shouting for mercy.
Feng He put away his sword and stood, Yang La and Hu Yu immediately got out, tied the two of them together, and "brushed" to tear off the black cloth covering their faces, revealing two faces that were forgettable.
"Yo, it's an acquaintance."
Gu Jingtong's memory is not bad, he shook his fan in the winter, and he was not romantic: "Aren't the two of you Wu Guangbi and Lord Wu's entourage?" How do you think about coming to save the murderer who assassinated Lord Wu? ”
The two looked resentful and didn't say a word.
One of his cheeks moved, and a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Before Gu Jingtong could react to what was going on, Chu Cheng hurriedly slapped the other person in the face, but the person couldn't hold back, and spit out a black pill mixed with blood water with a "poof".
"Want to take poison? What a loyal dead man! ”
Chu Cheng's slap was ten percent stronger, and the right side of the person's face immediately swollen.
Gu Jingtong and the others all looked at Chu Cheng when they saw this scene, and they were greatly surprised, but Feng He knew that she was not ordinary, so he held the sword and did not feel strange with a cold expression.
Chu Cheng shook her hand, and knew that she was a little reckless just now, but if it wasn't for her quick reaction, these two would have died, how would Lin Boqin and Xiao Qi still live?
She smiled stiffly at Gu Jingtong, and pretended to be surprised and pointed at the masked man: "Isn't there a dead man written in the book?" I really met me today, what an eye-opener! ”
Although Gu Jingtong felt that her reaction just now was subtle, she didn't have time to think about it at this time.
He waved his hand and said, "Directly escort the person to the court, and Lord Lin will be interrogated overnight." ”
There is not much time left for them, and if the case is not finalized the day after tomorrow, I am afraid that a big disaster will come!
