Chapter 232, death row

Meddlesome? Where in this world is there anything really good.

Just like there is no right or wrong, standing in different people, different angles, even different times, different cause and effect logic, good and bad, right and wrong are always changing.

Zhao Longhu ended Dai Mao's self-deceptive dream of having a son.

Maybe there are many Hongchen women who want to be a concubine for Dai Mao and get out of the fireworks field of the Qinglou with one less way to escape.

However, those Qinglou women who may be concubines by Dai Mao may still have naΓ―ve dreams, fantasizing that one day, they will be able to meet their true destiny and wait hard, so they don't have to worry about becoming an old man's personal plaything, and when they get tired of playing, they will give it away at will.

For Zhao Longhu's sister, she always has a backer, although it may not last long.

But there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and how can a woman with a half-grown child live well.

Dai Mao may not be a good match, but he finally gave her a way to live.

Li Chengjing didn't bother to think about Zhao Longhu's bullshit.

Turning his head to the chatterbox, he asked, "What's your name?" ”

The scribe hurriedly smiled and said, "Back to Li Zhaoguan, my name is Zhen Jinyan!" ”

"Good...... Name! Li Chengjing sincerely gave his name a thumbs up.

Then I decided that I must stay away from this guy in the future.

Otherwise, if something about himself is known by him, it is equivalent to almost everyone knowing.

When he arrived at the cell, Zhen Jinyan introduced Li Chengjing to the cell leader, and then was unceremoniously pushed back by Li Chengjing.

Before leaving, Zhen Jinyan still scratched his ears and cheeks, and was very reluctant to complain.

It seems that he is extremely curious about what Li Chengjing is doing when he comes to find a death row inmate.

"Take me to see the death row inmates on the list!"

Li Chengjing didn't talk nonsense and threw the transcribed list to the cell boss.

The cell boss didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he walked deep with Li Chengjing, and said: "Master Zhaoguan is angry, I don't know many words, but the death row prisoners are all locked up on death row, and they are all together." When you get to the place, you say you want to see which, and I'll point it to you. ”

As he spoke, he returned the list with both hands.

Li Chengjing nodded.

The cell didn't smell good, it was full of a mixture of blood and feces, and all sorts of unspeakable smells.

Death row is on the second basement floor, the entrance is in the middle of the cell, and it is dark inside, and it is only when the jailer enters that the fire appears.

Of course, Daqing's death row is not like this, it is said that this was built by a vicious magistrate in the past, and the later magistrate was naturally directly used.

The complete darkness almost cut off the connection between the death row inmates and the outside world, and it can make people go crazy, and cut off their possibility of escape one step further.

I have to say that the unknown brother is really cruel to death row prisoners.

Therefore, almost half of the death row inmates in Yizi City were crazy before the execution.

As soon as I opened the door to the underground, I heard all kinds of strange screams.

The cell boss hurriedly said: "There is no light underground, and after a long time, most of these death row inmates have some hysteria, and if they don't make a sound, they will be suffocated." ”

Li Chengjing nodded expressionlessly.

Seeing that Li Chengjing didn't mean to blame, the cell boss was relieved.

I'm afraid that this Shangguan is a kind-hearted living Bodhisattva, if something happens, then in the end it will only be these powerless little people who will be disappointed.

The ground is very wet, and as soon as you enter, the humidity hits your face, and the stone steps under your feet are extremely slippery.

Underground, in the rows of cells, more than a dozen death row inmates grabbed the fence, desperately stretched out their hands, trying to catch the firelight, their eyes were red, as if they were crazy.

Li Chengjing's list was directly lost.

He looked at the one closest and asked, "Who is this, and what has happened?" ”

The cell boss took a look at it and said, "This person's name is Han Laosan, but he is a ruffian in the city, who broke into his house one day drunk, killed the man, and raped the woman. He was sentenced to be beheaded and is awaiting trial by the Criminal Department. ”

Li Chengjing pointed to the second one.

The cell boss immediately said: "This person's name is Kang Xi, and he is still a scholar, but he privately resold salt and iron to Yan Kingdom, betrayed and beheaded, and the Criminal Department has already verified and interrogated, and after this autumn, he will be executed." ”

In this way, after Li Chengjing pointed two or three, the cell boss also understood.

There is no need for Li Chengjing to stretch out his hand again, and the cell head will introduce Li Chengjing one by one.

They are all crimes that deserve to be killed, and they are committed in various ways.

But most of them are murders.

There are many Tu tribes in Yizi City, and it is located in the border pass, the people are fierce, and there is a slight contradiction, that is, the swords and soldiers meet each other, and when they are angry, they will kill people and kill people.

Murder pays for life, there is nothing to say, it is directly the death penalty, sent to the criminal department, if they can be gracious by the criminal department and exempt them from the death penalty, then their fate is great.

But this is extremely unlikely.

Because of the geographical location of Yizi City, they can't be sentenced to exile, Yizi City is already a border pass, where else can they be exiled, if they are sent to the border pass, the people here are complicated, the interests are entangled, and it is said to be exile, which is almost no different from release.

If it is sent to the customs, it is even more ridiculous, how can there be exile and sent to a prosperous place.

Therefore, almost all the crimes that may be exiled in the Central Plains are the death penalty here, and the punishment is extremely severe.

Moreover, even if the Criminal Department does not agree to the death penalty, if the magistrate is determined to do so and repeatedly submits the death sentence, this back and forth, thousands of miles of paperwork, mortals will have to commit suicide on death row, and they will not be able to wait for the Criminal Department to save him.

However, there are still two people here who have made Li Chengjing interested.

Because both of these people were sentenced to death for the same case, the peculiar thing is that they are not accomplices, but one is the murderer, and the other is the target of the murderer.

Listening to the cell boss, the murderer wanted to kill this person, he played with his friends that day, and when he saw the murderer committing the murder, his friend stepped forward to help him stop the murderer, but he himself did not help to subdue the murderer, but fled for his life, and finally his friend died at the hands of the murderer.

After Dai Mao asked the ins and outs of the case, he directly sentenced the person who escaped with his life to death, and he was also sentenced to death.

Because the incident had nothing to do with his friend, he escaped by himself, put his friend in danger, and finally died, and his behavior was no different from that of the murderer, so he was also sentenced to death.

Now this man has gone mad, sitting in prison, and his mouth keeps shouting that he has been wronged!

"This person is really a good life, just like this ghost, it is estimated that he will not live to the day of execution, so he is cheap."

The cell boss hated such a treacherous villain.

Li Chengjing smiled: "It seems that the county lord is still very good at distinguishing right from wrong!" ”

When the cell boss heard this, he smiled awkwardly, did not answer, and did not dare to answer.

Is Dai Mao a good official? I'm afraid that few people in Yizi City will think so.

An official fan who thinks about how to give birth to a son and how to be promoted all day long, where will he govern the people well.

In fact, most of the corrupt magistrates will not help the gentry for a few taels of silver like in the play, because they are greedy and greedy, but they still want to be famous.

The big test once every three years, if the people under their rule are boiling, the higher authorities may really transfer them to some poor and remote place to eat mud.

Only the lawsuit between the gentry and the gentry, or the gentry harming those displaced people who open up the wasteland, is the fastest time for the county to make money.

Even if ordinary people fight lawsuits with the gentry, the gentry are willing to pay a few taels of filial piety money, but they don't earn a few silver money, and they have a bad reputation, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Only the kind of insatiable greed that sees the strange things that see the money will not let go of the big and small silver, and in the end the silver is earned, but there is no life to spend.

Those who can sit in the county magistrate's seat are all people who have finally participated in the imperial examination and studied hard for ten years, maybe they have problems with their morality, but most of them have no problems with their brains.

Even if they relied on family ties to go through the back door, their vision is not bad, and most of them will not do such stupid things, even if they are really stupid, their family will not be all stupid.

Li Chengjing's eyes opened, swept them one by one, and found that every death row prisoner here was riddled with strong karmic debts, but he didn't expect that with Dai Mao, a county magistrate, none of the death row prisoners in the prison were wronged, which really opened Li Chengjing's eyes.

"In Guanzhong, many death row prisoners are pretending to be beggars caught from outside, rushing to the death row prisoners, and the cell bosses are making a lot of money one by one, haven't you thought about making this kind of fortune at the head of the cell?"

The cell leader's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "Don't be joking. How dare the little old man! ”

"This is not Guanzhong, this is the border pass, there are many Tu people, most of the dead are Tu tribes, if Xiao Lao'er dares to do this kind of thing, the next day after he finishes it, someone will dare to cut my head in the dark at night, definitely not a joke."

Li Chengjing nodded, didn't say he believed it, and didn't say he didn't believe it.

Whether it is a peaceful and prosperous world, or a troubled era. The darkest place in the yamen everywhere will always be a prison cell.

"Alright, you can get out."

"Ah, what about you?"

Li Chengjing looked at him and said, "Smart people have always liked to talk too much, let alone ask too much. ”

The cell boss wiped a cold sweat and left the cell and closed the door.

The damp underground, with only the faint glow of the torches.

Li Chengjing walked to the death row where he had abandoned his friend, and clicked on the lock, and the copper lock was immediately opened.

The surrounding death row inmates watched this scene in amazement.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes just looked at Li Chengjing and walked in.

I saw Li Chengjing kick away the straw on the ground, take out a sea bowl and a dagger from the inside of his robe, and said with a smile: "You also heard it just now, the cell boss said that you are dying, and it is too cheap for you." Exactly, I think so too. ”

After speaking, Li Chengjing spread out his palm, and the Origin Fire rolled in Li Chengjing's palm, and the gray-red mist formed the appearance of flames.

The man, who had already gone mad, suddenly regained his senses, and he shouted in horror: "What are you going to do, don't come, come, go away." ”

Li Chengjing sighed, only to see June fly out, and with a finger at him, the man flew up out of thin air and hung in the air.

Li Chengjing shook his hand, and the fire flew out, landed under the man, and slowly baked.

The Five Elements Water Escape, fill the sea bowl with clear water, and place it under the man.

Li Chengjing's eyes flashed with a creepy light, and he only listened to his faint thoughts: "Heaven and earth are natural, filth is scattered, heaven and earth are combined, the gate of heaven is opened, three mountains and nine rivers, the earth dragon walks the hole, the ground becomes dung, the water falls into the elixir, the people fall to the ground, uninvited, urgent as the law!" ”

Some people died, but not completely......
