19. Punishment

Although Niu Erzhu and Sanrat met with "Flying on the Grass" Shi Pingshui, they all felt that this person was honest and bold, although he was a snitch who went to thousands of households, he was a hero of the green forest, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of him in his heart. At this time, when I saw that the two patrols were going to take him away, I didn't have to think about it and knew that there was nothing good, either I was going to be secretly murdered, or I was pulled out to suffer, and I felt a little unbearable in my heart, and I had the heart to stand up and excuse him, but I was afraid that people would speak lightly, not only could not save "Flying on the Grass", but also put myself in. When he was hesitating, he suddenly heard someone next to him say in a loud voice: "The two masters are hard, the little one is polite, this person is a friend of the next, I don't know what you brought him out?" ”

The person who spoke was none other than Zhang Xiaobanxian, who had been bowing his head and being silent, he was not the same as Niu Erzhu and Sanmozi, although he was not a well-known figure in the gang, but he also had such a number one in Tianjin Wei, whether you were a high-ranking official or a flat-headed commoner, I had heard of this person, at that time, the world was chaotic, people did not have a spectrum in their hearts, and it was inevitable that they would not ask God for divination, Zhang Xiaobanxian's craft was the most popular in the lower nine streams, not only a frequent visitor to the rich family in the city, but also secretly implicated in the political circles, is also a character who can't afford to offend. Although the two patrols had never seen Zhang Xiaobanxian's true face, they had also heard of his name, and when they saw that the prisoner in the cell dared to speak up, they were all stunned, and after carefully asking his name and surname, they immediately changed their smiling faces, and they didn't dare to be as arrogant as Fang.

Zhang Xiaobanxian is a veteran in the rivers and lakes, no one has ever seen it, it is natural to deal with these two stunned young people, take a set of words, and immediately ask the truth, it turns out that Liu Dahu put "flying on the grass" and Bu Facai into prison, still angry, went home to see the daughter of the hard Bangbang lying on the spiritual bed, a wave of evil fire rushed straight to the brain, immediately ordered the servant to bring five gold bars, and bribed the warden overnight, asking him to "fly on the grass" at night.

Zhang Xiaobanxian knows this little bit of work in prison, these grandsons are all butchers who kill people without blinking, you have to have money to do something, this thing is not bad, if you don't have money, you can be beaten half to death that night, and for a few days in a row, the iron man can't stand it. After beating people to death, they rolled up a straw mat, threw them into the mass grave, and turned around to report that they had died of a violent illness, and there was no great grievance. Although "Flying on the Grass" is a character, the kung fu on the rivers and lakes is definitely not bad, but I am afraid that he will not be able to escape this catastrophe, he is a snitch again, he is wanted everywhere, Liu Dahu has made money again, maybe he won't be able to survive tonight, and he will be killed on the spot.

Zhang Xiaobanxian knew that the arrest of "Flying on the Grass" was because of himself, and when he saw him today, he was about to be murdered, and he couldn't bear it, where was he willing to stand by, and he fell to the ground at that time, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Two, I also know that you have a life, and you can't help yourself, but my friend is sick when he goes to prison, but he can't afford to toss, and he will trouble the two masters to leave a face for the little one when he starts for a while, and the past will be done, and the little one will be released from prison in the future, and naturally he can't forget the kindness of the two!" ”

As soon as Zhang Xiaobanxian said this, the two patrols were arrested, you said if you want to agree, this person can't be provoked, he is not guilty of a capital crime, once he is released from prison in the future, he wants to give himself some small shoes to wear, then no one can stand it. If you have to agree, there is also a warden above, and the top boss sees that he is not doing his job well, and his mouth is crooked, and the errand is gone. Zhang Xiaobanxian also saw it, took out a few pieces of ocean from his pocket, stuffed them into the hands of the two patrolmen, and took the opportunity to whisper in their ears: "Two, I can't lose you, let alone embarrass you, I also know your warden, you just say that I, Zhang, begged him to give face, and I will have filial piety in the future!" ”

As soon as the two patrols heard this, they immediately agreed, since there are people above the family, why should they be wronged? I'm also happy to be a favor. To make a long story short, "Flying on the Grass" was taken out for two hours before being dragged back, and when he went, he was alive and well, and when he came back, he was already covered in bruises, and he couldn't even walk the road, and the judge might ask, didn't the warden give Zhang Xiaobanxian face? That's not it, the warden doesn't dare to offend Zhang Xiaobanxian with a half-year-old sesame official, since ancient times, the prison has been a strange world, not to mention anything else, just talk about how the jailer beats people, there is a lot of knowledge here.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the laws in prisons were extremely strict, and even when criminals ate and drank water had clear regulations, what they were afraid of was that they would undermine good people, and the jailers would secretly murder criminals. But despite this, there are still many disasters in the cell, and the methods used by the cell leaders to punish the annoying people are full of tricks and cannot be prevented. But as far as beating is concerned, from the chief criminal officer to the thug, there are cats. In the Qing Dynasty, the punishment of prisoners was a board, and there was a lot of work in this. For example, if the chief criminal officer says "beat", from his tone and expression, the official can judge whether it should be a heavy blow or a light beating, and if the chief criminal officer adds a few more words to the word "beat", the effect will not be the same, for example, "hit hard" or "hit hard", then the severity of the attack will definitely be different. The chief criminal officer has passed a pass here, and the official who is personally in charge of the punishment also has a saying, "If you want to make money, the officials will count quickly and slowly, and they will hit fifty boards, and if he hits it, he can count ten in his mouth, and after all the beatings, the prisoner will be beaten four or five times." If you don't have any money in your hand, then it's over, and the officials will be slow to fight fast, and if you take ten hits, three numbers will pop out of his mouth. There is a weak body, and these fifty boards will die on the spot.

Because there are too many people who have died here, the Qing Dynasty government later reformed the method of beating the board, and it was originally that the prisoners were dragged to the back hall to beat, and they didn't know how to beat others, but now they have become beaten on the spot, and the chief criminal officer and the official are counted together, and there is a special master next to it. It stands to reason that if you want to do this, you can't fake it, but don't worry, how to show favoritism or how to show favoritism, as long as the rich family buys off the chief criminal officer, the master and the official together, the matter will be over. You either have so much money that you can just buy off the thugs. These officials have been doing this business for many years, and they have long known where to kill people, and where to fight if nothing can happen, you have to make enough money, and the officials only find places with thick meat and more skin to beat, and the skin is open and the flesh is open when a few boards go down, and the blood is flowing, in fact, it is all outside the skin, go back and take some medicine, and wait for the scar to fall off, and then go back and beat as many times as you want. If you don't give money, then it's going to be troublesome, these people are looking for a face-to-face fight, this place has little meat, a few sticks go down, and you have to break bones at that time!

The two patrols put the "Flying on the Grass" on the ground, exchanged a few words with Zhang Xiaobanxian, turned around and said goodbye. As soon as the two of them left, everyone gathered around to take a look, don't you say it, Zhang Xiaobanxian's face is really not small, although the "grass flying" grinned in pain, but the muscles and bones were not injured, but the skin and flesh were broken. Everyone was a little relieved, the people who walked the rivers and lakes carried the golden medicine with them, Zhang Xiaobanxian gave the medicine to the "grass flying", and saw that his complexion gradually became normal, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone was busy for half the night, so they had to relax, and they turned their heads to rest without mentioning it.

If there is something to say, it is long and there is no word to be short, in a blink of an eye, it is still early, everyone is sleeping with a stomach full of sorrow, suddenly heard a big chaos outside the cell, Niu Erzhu and the three rats are about to get up, the heart is not good, today is going to have an accident!
