Chapter 45: Dirty Old Man
Ruan Jiaojiao originally thought that she would have to endure some hardships when she entered the prison, but before she could swallow the bitter water in her mouth, food and quilts were delivered.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn't know what was going on, and asked the jailer: "Can I go to court tomorrow to confront Cheng Qian?" ”
The jailer waved his hand: "This little old man doesn't know." ”
Ruan Jiaojiao saw that he was just an errand, so she didn't ask much, opened the food box and began to eat.
As soon as she opened the lunch box, there were chicken legs in it, which she loved to eat.
Ruan Jiaojiao picked up the chicken leg and was about to nibble on it, when there was a sudden "grunt" sound next door, as if it was the sound of swallowing saliva.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked up and saw a dirty old man next door staring closely at the chicken leg in her hand. Only then did she realize that it seemed as if she was the only one with the food and the quilt.
"Little girl, what do you have in your hand?"
"Chicken legs." Ruan Jiaojiao put the chicken leg in her arms.
"Gollum." The old man's stomach let out a hungry chirp.
The old man stared at the chicken leg tightly: "Is it delicious?" ”
"I haven't eaten yet." Ruan Jiaojiao herself was hungry and didn't want to give him the chicken legs.
"Little Girl......"
"How do you know I'm ...... I'm obviously a little Langjun. Ruan Jiaojiao retorted.
"Hey, that's all you disguise. Oh no, you're not at all. Well, give me this chicken leg and I'll teach you how about transfiguration? The old man's eyes were shining.
Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at him suspiciously, "I don't want to learn." ”
"Then what do you want to learn, I can also heal, hehe will also poison." The old man didn't look very reliable.
"I don't even want to learn, if you're so good, how can you still be locked up." Ruan Jiaojiao said and picked up the chicken leg and took a bite.
"Oops! You girl...... I don't know what to do, but one day you'll regret it. ”
Ruan Jiaojiao turned her back and munched on the chicken legs, not wanting to pay attention to the old man anymore. She was really hungry.
The chicken thighs are fragrant and springy, and they are chewy in the mouth, which is so blissful.
But when she had eaten half of the chicken leg and turned to look at the old man, he was still looking at her, no, at the food box at her feet.
Ruan Jiaojiao was a little soft-hearted, and took the food box to the place where the two prisons were connected: "What do you want to eat?" Divide a little bit with you. ”
There are also rice, meat buns, and side dishes on the next floor.
"So what do you want to learn? Old man, I don't do anything. "The dirty old man has the last reserve.
"Okay, old man, stop bragging, it's cold if you don't eat buns anymore."
The old man's last reserve was gone, he stretched out his dirty hands, grabbed two buns one in each hand, and devoured them.
While eating, I don't know who I was scolding: "Stinky boy, dare to starve Master Zu, I won't clean him up tomorrow." ”
The old and the young were well fed, each leaning against the iron bars of the prison.
"Little girl, it's really not me who blows, I'm a poison doctor and a ghost. I don't tell him about ordinary people. ”
"Poof." Ruan Jiaojiao laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at your name, it's kind of like that." It's like a character in a martial arts novel.
"Hmph." The old man snorted coldly.
"I'm still saying that, if you're really that powerful, why are you locked up? When someone else comes to arrest you, won't you just poison them? ”
"Hey, didn't I come in willingly because I lost a bet with someone. Believe it or not, I'll be able to get out tomorrow? ”
"I don't believe it."
The dirty old man was excited, "Do you want to make a bet?" ”
"Don't bet." Ruan Jiaojiao was full and wrapped the quilt around her body, revealing only half of her head.
"It's boring. Don't bet on pulling down. "The old man was also well fed, and leaned against the wall." Will you play with a sieve? ”
"No, it won't."
"Pai Gow?"
"No, it won't."
"Horse hanging?"
Ruan Jiaojiao knew that this old man must be a gambler, and he probably came in without paying after losing the bet. I'm still so addicted to gambling at my age, tsk.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn't want to pay attention to him, and began to nap with a quilt wrapped in herself.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, someone really came to pick up the old man.
"Divine doctor, you are really a divine doctor." The visitor nodded and bowed, and almost bowed to the old man.
The dirty old man tilted his head, didn't even look at the man, and walked out with such a vigour.
Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at it in a daze, and said in her heart: The old man really went out today.
She continued to wrap up the quilt and take a nap. I didn't expect that after a while, the official messenger would come to her.
Ruan Jiaojiao asked: "Is the trial going to start today?" ”
"The county master has already found out." The official said vaguely, he was reluctant to deal with her, but he didn't dare to offend her.
"Already checked? Is there going to be a trial now? ”
The official stopped talking and took her to the side hall next to the lobby, where a man who looked like a master was sitting.
"Ruan Xiujie, you injured Cheng Qian, can you plead guilty?"
Ruan Jiaojiao is stunned, Cheng Qian's bear appearance yesterday was not all fought by her. And what kind of place is this? It is neither a large hall nor a public trial, and she does not dare to admit this crime indiscriminately.
"The villain is wronged!" Ruan Jiaojiao immediately shouted injustice.
The master saw that Ruan Jiao was squeamish and didn't fight anywhere, obviously hurting his nephew, but he didn't admit his guilt. Besides, the county master has decided to deal with it lightly, let her pay some money and let her go, I can't imagine that this kid still doesn't admit guilt!
"You injured Cheng Qian in the wine shop, so many people saw it, and you still don't recognize it?"
"Back to the official, it was Cheng Qian who teased my cousin first in the wine shop, and I couldn't stand it, so I hit him and kicked him again. But he was definitely not seriously injured. ”
The master paused, no, hit it, how could it become like that with a kick.
"Good ...... you"
"Ahem." A cough came from nowhere.
The master was suddenly like a blazing charcoal fire, which was poured into smoke.
"You're ...... Then it's a fact that you injured him, you can't deny it, right? ”
"Yes, I did hit him." Ruan Jiaojiao said dejectedly.
"Isn't that the end of it? The county magistrate is gracious, according to the law of our Daqi, you beat someone, Cheng Qian spent a lot of money to see the doctor, and you compensate him for ten taels of silver, and the matter is over. ”
Ruan Jiaojiao was stunned, she heard it right, right? Ten taels of silver? Say it early! But didn't Cheng Qian still speak out in front of her yesterday, saying that he was half of the law in Yuncheng?
Although Ruan Jiaojiao didn't understand, she immediately agreed. Ten taels of silver is not a small amount, but the last thing she lacks is silver.
After she left, the master and the county master also breathed a sigh of relief, and they could be regarded as throwing out this hot potato. Although King Jing didn't say how to treat her, they would not be wrong to deal with it impartially.
Even if Qin Yue asked later, he could infer that he handled it impartially.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn't feel like she was in a dream until she walked out of the yamen, she thought she was going to be repaired, but she didn't expect to be taken lightly.
The sunlight outside was more dazzling than in the prison, and she looked down the street as if she saw a familiar figure. Ruan Jiaojiao shuddered and took a closer look. Tsk, she was blindsided, how could Qin Yue appear in Yuncheng?
