The promenade, a deep promenade. The top of the good wood is made of frame, painted on it, and the picture of the starry sky is carved. One of its two sides is a stone wall, the background color of the white stone, all painted filial piety map, where the number of twenty-four. One is a colonnade, two zhang and one pillar at intervals, nearly thirty of them, the pillars are all flying images, although the beauties in it are naked, they are all solemn, it is difficult to blaspheme. But at the end of the corridor, there are no stone platforms, stone chambers, and the like, but an old wooden plank is paved, and one of the watchtowers is surrounded by four beams and eight pillars on all sides! These towers are all owned by the big families here, but the ordinary people are based on earth and stone, and they are only on the top of the pavilion. This old man was obviously wealthy, and he was made of thick timber that was joined together with each other. The eaves are raised to make a dragon's head, the top of the octagonal ancient wood is made of frame, the celadon tiles are placed on it, and an iron horse is under the protruding horn, which is jingling in the wind. This tower is quaint and generous, it seems to have been here for a long time, and it is by no means new. I haven't looked at it carefully, and I secretly said in my heart:

"Bitterness! Their calculations are so high, far more than the manuscripts of a certain family!

Then he bowed his head and said nothing.

"Go in and search carefully, don't miss an inch!"

The commander of the Gu capital commanded loudly. After a short time, several officials returned to report:

"Commander of the city, there are no caves, dungeons, boulder covers, etc., just a watchover tower. ”

"Withdraw!"

"Yes!"

Commander Gu Du gave an order, and all the officials responded in unison, and they all left the courtyard. Gu Du said to the Qianzong Commander:

"General, it's been searched. No suspicious findings were found. ”

"Well, that scholar, but you still have to search for it?"

"General, I, so-and-so, so-and-so・・・・・・ please ask the general to decide. ”

Lack of embarrassment.

"Old man, it's disturbing!

Then all the soldiers and officials withdrew from the siege and marched in a group, while three or five other officials surrounded the inadequate. Halfway through, the man who bowed his head and did not do enough suddenly raised his head and said resolutely:

"General, please go back to the army and check again, you will get something, if not, you are willing to be punished!"

"Hmm!"

That Qian always looked at Commander Gu Du. Gu Duling's face changed slightly, but he said:

"Please, the general, decide. ”

"If I don't get anything this time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Insufficient:

"Please give the order of the general. ”

"Take the rear army as the front army, and go to the villa quickly, there must be no mistake!"

"Order!"

The sergeants roared, and the team immediately turned back and rushed towards the villa.

I can't go for a few miles, and I suddenly regret it.

"This gang of thieves and strongmen is meticulous in their actions, although they are scheming, and there is no fault with them! There will be open posts and secret posts along the way to deliver news. Alas, now it can only be sent to the swiftness of the march. Otherwise・・・・・・"

Insufficient followed the soldiers to the entrance of the village, and led people straight into the side door. I saw several people coming out of the watch tower, and several people in the backyard also rushed to them. But he was stopped by the soldiers. Two of the men who came out of the tower were armed with swords, and when they saw the soldiers returning, they were stunned.

"Stand still, don't move! Shoot and kill you and the others when you move! Commander Gu Du took you and the others down to the tower and searched it again. ”

"Order, Mr. Qian. ”

Commander Gu Du jumped with a knife in his hand, and took a few steps in the air to reach the front of Zhuang Ding.

"Who are you waiting for? Why are you here with a murder weapon?"

"The general is on top, and the younger ones are the guards of this village, and they have just come down from the watchtower. As for this knife, it is a small weapon, not a murder weapon!"

Although these people were taken by the mastery of the commanders, they did not reply with humility or arrogance.

"Bah, boy, you two are holding waist knives in their hands, and they look vicious, they must be thieves, and they haven't recruited them from the truth!"

"If the general is above, if you can tell whether you are a murderer or not, then this murderer has already been destroyed, and the world has long been peaceful, how can there be so many grievances! Moreover, most of those who deceive the world and steal fame, cause trouble to the world, and harm the people are people who are talented and good-looking, and who know everything about poetry, books, etiquette, and music! How can we be thieves if we have practiced a few swordsmanship and learned a few fists and feet, and we are just people who have eaten at the old lady's village this week?"

"Hmph! Go and a few people go into the tower and search for it!"

"Yes!"

The servants said yes, and they rushed into the tower. After a while, he came out and said:

"Lord Commander, I've searched it, and everything is normal. ”

Commander Gu Du repeated a few more orders. Several pairs of officials rushed into the village and searched carefully for half an hour, but they didn't find anything else, so they all reported to the commander of Gu Du. That Thousand Total Road:

"Master Gu, have you found anything?"

"Mr. Hui Qian, no. ”

"Okay! Collect the troops! Go back to the barracks and resume your life!"

"Order!"

The soldiers roared. After the queue to withdraw from the village. How dare you say a word, knowing that the thieves are too prepared, and they have no one else to help them, and it is unfavorable to fight in a duel. And the general Zeng Yun was useless, and he would use his words to punish crimes, so he was silent all the way. It wasn't until the sergeant returned to the barracks halfway through the road that Mr. Qian didn't say anything more about punishing crimes! was not surprised, but then saw him say goodbye to Commander Gu Du and leave, but he was also relieved.

"Even if the defenders here don't know the secrets of the thieves, they must have heard of it. I'm afraid that it is the unspoken rule of the official family, and he is wise to protect himself, but he wants nothing wrong. Even if the people don't have a livelihood, what do they have to do with themselves! That's why the general just ignored it and left!"

Insufficient, follow the commander of Gu Du and others to the county seat. Along the way, Commander Gu Du never said a word, and he didn't pay attention to those who didn't say a word, but just rode his horse and went to the county office. When it came to the county office, the county ordered the promotion of the hall for questioning. All the officials reported according to the truth, and there was no half-truth. Prefectural Order:

"That scholar, no matter what you say is true or false, but this is a major event that uses the imperial court, and it is not up to the official to decide, the official can only play the court according to the truth and wait for the edict. During this period, I am afraid that I can only wait for grievances and wait and be detained here for the time being. Are you different?"

It should not be enough to see Gu Du Commander standing next to the county order and talking to the county commander in a low voice, although the county commander frowned slightly, but he also kept nodding his head, thinking about it again and again, and finally did not dare to put the matter of Gu Du in a mixed manner. Then he lowered his head and said:

"Obey the command!"

So he and Jin Chang'er were both detained in the county prison.

In the big prison of the small county, there are not many prison numbers, but there are too many prisoners, and the commander of Gu Du deliberately arranged that he would not be able to detain a crazy old prisoner in the same room, but he would confine Chang'er alone in a small number. At first, the madman just smirked and looked inadequate, the corners of his mouth drooling, his nose was unclean, and his face was unkempt. The prisoner's clothes were in tatters, the skin and flesh were exposed, and even the ** was faintly revealed. After getting along for a long time, I saw that he could urinate and urinate in the toilet, but he couldn't do it, and he was stinking all over his body. It is not enough to bring the toilet in the evening every day, but to bring it out early in the morning. Although he had cleaned the old madman's body, he still smelled as bad as his body in a few days. Insufficient, although he loves cleanliness very much, there is nothing he can do. In the prison number, it can only be cleaned once every month, which is better than nothing.

He was not detained here, but he did not work every day like a prisoner, only locked in the cell and changed the toilet in the morning and evening, and was only allowed to go out to talk to others in the cell. And that Chang'er is the same, she can't see enough every day, and she can't talk to others to relieve her boredom. After a long time, I couldn't bear to be lonely, so I often talked to myself and others every day. What kind of poems, books, rituals, and music, what families are destroyed, what kind of learning with their ancestors・・・・・・ but they don't mention the matter of cultivators, nor do they mention the matter of this bandit. But Chang'er often quietly turned her tracks into a search for shortcomings, but without saying anything to them, she quietly looked at the shortcomings and laughed with the old madman, and then went back to meditate and rest. Insufficient often looked at this person, and his pity rose, and he sighed and said:

"Prison is really a place of great darkness in the world, and it is like a bad man!"

"Secretly through the officialdom?"

"Ahh・・・・・・・h

He took a few steps back before standing against the wall, looking at him like a stranger, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
