Chapter 194: Dark Shadow
"No one sued the official, I killed a tenant, the east window incident, and the government came to arrest me. "I'll be honest.
"Ah, you are justified defense, you explain it clearly to the official. Also, what about Xing Wuyang? Isn't he a general? He can always help you get away with it. Zhang Lele immediately became nervous when he heard this.
"You went to the prefect's yamen to find out about Liu Laohan's son, right?" Bao'er was thoughtful and didn't worry that I would be sentenced, "You know that the prefect is still the same as three years ago." I don't think you'd better be looking for trouble. ”
"Let's just take a look, and besides, we have to keep a low profile here, and we will get away with killing people, and maybe when our enemies will be found. ”
"Then you went to the county office, what should you do if the enemy family finds it here?" Xiaodi was also worried that his level of self-protection was not enough.
"Then I don't know, and you don't follow me. ”
"Three beauties accompanying you as a criminal to the county government for trial must be a sensation. Xiao Di glanced at me and said.
"There are only two beauties, you can only be considered a woman at best......" I teased her.
She was just about to have a seizure, and the officials outside couldn't wait.
"What are you fooling around in there?" said a servant, knocking on the door.
"Alright, stay here. Fang Tong and Xing Wuyang will definitely not go far. ”
In fact, I overlooked one thing, that is, in those days, it took a long time to walk from the foot of Kunyu Mountain to the county seat. Since there was no precedent for a prisoner to ride a horse, the official could only accompany me on foot.
"I said, why did you arrive this morning for the case I committed last night?" On the way, I asked the two officials, "Now that the sun is about to set, why haven't you arrived at the county seat yet?"
"Because the two of us are on errands in town. ”
Oh, and feelings they have offices here. In ancient times, it was also known that transportation was not convenient, and the dispatch agency was very important.
"Then we can go to the town first, and let the magistrate come here to try the case. ”
"You think beautifully! A murderer still wants the magistrate to condescend to you. Hurry up and go, don't grind. "As he spoke, a servant kicked me on the skin.
They felt that my hands and feet were handcuffed, and I couldn't do what I could do, so they hardened. It wasn't a painful kick, but it just stumbled me. But my heart is very hot, and I really want my soul to go out and destroy them.
As soon as I finished thinking about it, my soul really rushed out, and it looked like I was about to kill the two officials.
"Come back, I'm just thinking about it. "I quickly called my soul back.
Mrs. Xu asked me to leave the dagger to Bao'er, otherwise I would have been searched by the two officials. When the time comes, I'll have to go back, trouble.
When I arrived at the county seat, it was already time to hold the lights. The county seat is called Qixia, and it is the only county seat in the entire Dengzhou Prefecture that is not near the sea. Because it is not close to the sea, there is no coastal defense mission. The city wall is so-so, and it seems that you can jump over it with one vertical jump. The county government is also the most unseemly I've seen so far.
Along the way, I was thinking, when I arrived at the county seat, it would be night. The county magistrate will definitely not try the case at night, and he will have to keep me in prison for one night. I can't remember how many times I've been in jail. And every time it's thrilling.
Sure enough, the official took me to the court, and it was the county magistrate who came to take over.
"It's getting late, the magistrate doesn't try the case, and the prisoner will be imprisoned for the time being, and the trial will be retried at a later date. That's what the county said.
Why did you choose a day, I originally planned to go back on the same day. Since the road is farther, it should be possible to go tomorrow. Listening to the tone of the county officer, it is not certain when my case will be tried.
"My lord, why do you want to retry it at another date?" my question is clear, if it doesn't work, I have to run quickly, I don't have that much time to budget.
"I said I would choose the day. Are you still willing to give you a two-day delay? Your case is clearly understood, and it is no problem to be sentenced to a decisive conclusion. ”
"Is your county order still the same one from three years ago?"
"Presumptuous, you are a prisoner, even if you don't kneel in front of this official, you dare to speak so frivolously. "The county is reluctant.
"You are just a small county official, at most you are an official in the ninth grade, and you actually dare to be so powerful! As an official of the imperial court, you do not ask for the life of the people, but you are arrogant, what kind of court member are you?" I said such things now, but I came out of my mouth. If I let them know that Zhu Di has to buy my account, I can't scare them to death.
The county Cheng's face changed suddenly, as if he was frightened. I didn't take him seriously, but I didn't scare anyone.
"Qixia County hasn't changed the county for five years, so what?" the county hesitated, but still answered my question.
"You mean I won't see the county magistrate tonight?"
"The magistrate doesn't handle official business at night, and he won't go to court to ask about the case. Naturally, you won't see him. ”
I can understand this, in ancient times, there was no tradition of working 24 hours a day, and when it was time to get off work at sunset, it would still be off. Eight hours away, people also have their own personal affairs.
"Okay, then I'll wait for him all night. I can only admit it, "But, if you really dare to 'retry it at another date', I have ugly words ahead, and even the dungeon of Jinan Mansion can't trap me, let alone your shabby county government." "When I said this, my eyes were sharp and terrifying, and I could see it from the beating eyelids of the county man.
Maybe he thought what I was saying was true, and he didn't put me in jail in the end. Instead, I found an idle wing room in the county government and let me live in it.
There are tables, chairs, beds, and even candles. The reason why it is not a kang but a bed is because the general kang is connected to the stove, and this is how the "fire kang" came from. And the county government is not an ordinary family, there is a separate kitchen, so there will be no kang in the guest room. There was only one mat on the bed, and there was no covering. But it's summer, and it doesn't matter, it's a hundred times better than being in prison.
The wooden yoke around my neck was removed at dinner. However, he still wears iron chains on his hands and feet. Dinner was also good, one fried shredded potatoes and two nests. There are still a few pieces of fat in the shredded potatoes, which should be the food of the general handymen in the county government. I didn't eat in the morning, but I ate two dry nests with hot water at noon, and now I'm hungry. After the meal, I was only seven points full.
After I came to the Ming Dynasty, I was used to lying down and sleeping half an hour after dinner. Because there's really nothing to do. In case of war, there is a curfew at night. On the eastern seaboard, there is no curfew, but nightlife is pitiful. Every household rests at sunset, and oil lamps and candles can be saved. It's pitch black, what can you do without sleeping.
Lying on the bed, although panicked, he quickly fell asleep. If you can't sleep, it's because you're not tired enough.
Recently, I've been having the same dream, and it's just me and Lu Jia in the dream. She said she was very sad, with chills and fever at the same time. I tried to go over and hug her, but I couldn't get to her. There will always be some distance between the two of us. I ran to her like crazy, but she retreated as fast as I ran until I was exhausted. Woke up from a nightmare, sweating profusely.
Think about it, ever since I got the anklet, the dream hasn't broke. Later, I simply stopped chasing her and talked to her in my dreams. It's like she's dreaming for me.
I dreamed of her again today. It's just that this time she was very quiet, her face was peaceful, and she was not as painful as before.
"Lu Jia, are you okay?" I saw her smiling slightly, afraid that it would be a return to the light.
Lu Jia shook his head at me and said, "Ah Wu, I can't go back, you have to take care of yourself, and when you find a way to return to modern times, you can go back and live well." I regret not being able to marry you and have children, but I'm glad I've been with you for so long. ”
"What nonsense do you say, I will definitely rescue you. Then I'll take you back to modern times, and we'll get married when we go back. "I'm in a hurry, what's going on today? How could she say such a thing. I wasn't blindly mad, I was thinking, I'm afraid we're really going to run into something.
"Promise me to live well and live out my part of the wonderful. I know you're going to be sad, but don't be sad for too long, okay?"
"How wonderful I am without you. Tell me where you are, even if you cross the Nai He Bridge, wait for me, and we will go to reincarnation without drinking Meng Po soup together. ”
At this time, Lu Jia suddenly smiled, still as good-looking as before. But her smiling face became more and more blurry, more and more blurred, until I couldn't see clearly.
"Lu Jia, don't go, you haven't made it clear yet......"
I woke up in a hurry. The clatter of chains pulled me back to reality. It didn't seem to be very dark outside, and through the white paper windows, there was a faint moonlight casting into the room.
I opened the window to get some air, but the dream I had just had depressed me so badly. The moon is so round, is it fifteen today?
I was looking at the moon when I suddenly felt a dark shadow flash through the corner of my eye. When I turned my face to look, I didn't see anything. It's weird, with my current strength, if I want to say that I am dazzling, I don't believe it. What could that be? It's so fast.
Not long after, a scream came from the place where the black shadow disappeared.
