Chapter 008: [Cane Responsibility]
I'm Liu Bei.
"Give Ben Cao a heavy beating!" Liang Jidong ordered the servants to be severely punished.
"Great! Dare to offend the county keeper.,I'm impatient.。 I had to let him see what it was like. Spit ~" The two officers spat and foamed at the palm of their hand, rubbed their palms vigorously, and hit the stick hard. Immediately, my back hurt as if I had been hit by a truck.
Grandpa's, who doesn't pick up a lot of meat, actually spanks the back. Damn, my back is full of bones, and I have to beat Lao Tzu into a hunchback with fifty canes.
“1…… 2……”
The officer shouted loudly, and every shout was heavy. It was like a thousand pounds of weight on my back, and the pain was so great that I clenched my teeth.
“3…… 4……”
The sound suddenly stopped, and so did the cane. What's going on?
The officer on the left walked up to Liang Jidong with a smile and said flatteringly: "Lord Cao, the little one suddenly remembered that he had some private matters and wanted to talk to you." ”
Liang Jidong squinted: "Talk to me?" ”
"I'm sorry to move the ground." The messenger secretly stuffed Liang Jidong with a hanging money (100 Wen), and the two went to a remote place one after the other.
"Hit hard!" Liang Jidong turned back and commanded the messengers left behind.
"Don't worry, the little one has to beat him to a cripple!"
The officer on the right saw that the two of them were far away, squatted next to me and whispered, "Engong has suffered. ”
Eun Gong? I have never met the person in front of me, and I can't beat eight poles, how did I become his favor?
"I'm sorry Engong, those few sticks just now were shown to the thief Cao, and they were forced to do so, please forgive me."
"You are?" I asked, puzzled.
This officer is younger than me, about ten years old. He was born thin and short, and he was not a messenger. I think I came in by connection.
The thin little errand officer looked around, made sure that there was no one and said: "The little surname is Qian, and my father is a secretive name." My father was originally a small official at the city gate, but he became the warden because of the encouragement of the Duke of En. This time, at the advice of my father, I came to help Engong escape. ”
Oh, it turned out to be Qian Liben's son. Qian Liben once said that he had three sons. It turned out that after ordering Liang Jidong to take care of Qian Liben last year, he became the warden.
I was just taken here, how did Qian Liben know about it?
"How do you know I'm going to be taken?"
"It's not clear about this little one. It's just that my father told me. Presumably my father knew why. The thin officer said: "The small one will be loosened for Engong." ”
"Wait." I said, "If I leave, Liang Jidong will not let you go." Besides, I really can't go now. ”
"Eun Gong!" The skinny messenger was puzzled.
The reason for this was naturally unspeakable, and the more he knew, the more detrimental it was to them.
This time, I decided to stay in order to clarify one thing. How did the county guard know that I had returned to Zhangjia Village? Why did they arrest me? Who is the county guard into the gang or the ten permanent servants and a party? Until these questions are clarified, if I leave, I will be trapped in complete passivity.
It will be even more difficult to prevent them from being offended in the future. Anyway, they didn't arrest me to kill me, if they were to kill me, there was no need for them to lay a detailed trap: slaughter Zhang Yuan and blame me.
There must be a conspiracy behind this, and this conspiracy is likely to be related to my departure from the valley to Anxi County this time, and it is more likely to be directly related to the holy decree of Emperor Han Ling to establish the prince as the crown prince. Now the situation outside is complicated, and I can't tell who is right and who is wrong. Only by being temporarily imprisoned here can we slowly investigate and gradually get closer to the truth of the matter.
These thoughts flashed through my mind, and after I figured it out, my heart was even more determined to stay. No matter what kind of conspiracy it is, in the end, it will not escape revealing its true purpose. And until this ultimate goal is reached, as long as I do what they want, I will still be safe. Otherwise, they will be provoked, and their powerless and powerless self will only be destroyed.
"If you don't leave, according to the character of the thief Cao, he will definitely torture you in prison." The skinny messenger worried.
"What's your name?" I changed the subject.
"Uncle Qian." The skinny officer replied.
"It was your eldest brother who led Liang Jidong away just now?"
"Yes, his name is Qian Bobai."
Bo Zhong Shu Ji, the name of the ancient people is this characteristic.
"Uncle Qian is now the warden, is the place where I am being held also under the jurisdiction of Uncle Qian?" Qian Liben was about forty years old, and he used to call him his brother, and he still called his uncle respectful and kind.
"All the cells are under the control of my father. Engong is reluctant to leave now, and the little one is not easy to explain to his father. "Uncle Qian is difficult.
"I'll explain this matter to Uncle Qian personally, you can rest assured. I will never let Uncle Qian blame you. ”
"That's very good." Uncle Qian Baidao. It seems that Qian Liben is very strict with his son's education.
"Adults watch out for the steps!" The voice was deliberately amplified, and it must have been Chambers deliberately informing us that they were back.
"What a fuss! Can't Ben Cao see it? Get out of the way! Liang Dongyuan's voice came.
Qian Shubai said in a low voice: "Please Engong pretend to be unconscious for the time being." With that, he drew his knife, slit his fingers, and smeared the blood on the clothes on my back.
I immediately closed my eyes and sighed that the Qian family father and son were benevolent and righteous people.
"My lord, the cane punishment is over, and the prisoner has fainted!" Qian Shubai's voice came into his ears. Next was Liang Jidong's proud and arrogant voice: "Yo? It's all bleeding! ”
I felt like someone was pulling my clothes on my back.
"You brothers are really good at getting things done! I'll mention your matter to the county keeper later, and don't forget, let your warden's father prepare a generous gift. ”
"Thank you for your attention." Chambers said thankfully.
"Hmm. The prisoners were taken to the prison for felons. Tell your father that he is a criminal in the court, and don't bend the law for personal gain just because he has received a small favor from him. ”
"It's an adult, and the little one must tell me."
A moment later.
"Engong, the thief Cao is gone." Uncle Qian Baidao
I opened my eyes. The two Qian brothers squatted in front of them.
"Engong, why don't you run away?" Chambers said in a hurry.
"Big brother, Engong said he didn't want to bother us." Uncle Qian Baidao.
"Alas. If he doesn't leave now, Gong is afraid that it will be difficult to escape in the future. Let's go now. Qian Bobai persuaded.
"Alright, alright. Take me to prison. I urged.
"This ......" Qian Shubai looked at his eldest brother Qian Bobai.
"In that case, Eun Gong, please." Qian Bobai said helplessly.
The two brothers untied me and carried me to prison.
