Chapter 27: Released from prison
Three days later, the criminal department was imprisoned.
Cell leader Zhai Jiu took out one from a large string of "rattling" keys, opened the huge cell in front of him, and with Zhai Jiu's movements, more than 20 prisoners in the cell looked at each other.
"You elders, please."
After a brief moment of consternation, a man with a bearded face and a broken right hand and half of his forearm walked up to the cell door and asked, "Zhai Tou, what do you mean by this?" Don't you have to give a bowl of severed head rice to eat when you send people on the road? Why, don't even let our brother eat the last bowl of severed head rice? It's a fucking bully! ”
"It's too bullying! Aren't you greedy for this dog's cell boss? You're fucking greedy for decapitation, you're still not human! ”
Zhai Jiu smiled and said, "Pull the calf!" Lao Tzu let you out of prison, not to send you on the road, where did you get the severed head food! To go or not to go? If you don't leave, I'll keep you locked up! ”
The cell was as silent as a grave for a moment, and then the bearded man suddenly shouted, "Let us out of prison? Not on the road? Hahaha, Lao Tzu said that Lao Tzu's life should not be extinguished, and sooner or later there will be a day to go out! ”
There was a burst of cheers in the cell as the bearded man laughed, and then the prisoners walked out in twos and threes, and almost none of the men in the group were embarrassed, either missing arms or legs, and the most complete one was blind in one eye, and there was an ugly scar on each cheek, which was a scar left by an arrow through the cheek.
They held each other up, their dirty faces full of joy.
The bearded man's name was Qiu Shiyi, and he laughed and patted Zhai Jiu's shoulder: "Thank you, cell boss, thanks to you for taking care of me these days, I'll invite you to drink when I go back!" He mysteriously leaned into Zhai Jiu's ear and said softly: "Who is the savior of the brothers, you can reveal it." ”
Zhai Jiu said while locking the door: "I only know that it was an order from the official family, let you go back and stay honest, and don't make another disaster." There is also a great thing, you will know when you go back to the lonely mountain camp! ”
Qiu Shiyi smiled and said, "Don't wait to go back to the camp, what's a good thing, you tell me." ”
Zhai Jiu scolded impatiently: "Get out of the calf!" Be careful that the official family changes their minds, you can't get the benefits of your fart! ”
When Qiu Shiyi heard this, he rushed out like a rabbit with an arrow, picked up a companion who had difficulty moving and carried it on his back, and made a whistle.
"Brothers, hurry back to the camp, there are great good things waiting for us!"
The companion behind him scolded and said, "Qiu Shiyi, you fart again, what good things can be our turn over the years?" You're not dreaming! ”
"Believe him! This kid may be crazy and stupid in prison! ”
The veterans of the Gushan Battalion walked out of the prison of the Criminal Department with a scolding and scolding, and came to the Heavenly Street with their companions on their backs.
Looking at the endless stream of people and the rows of palaces and pavilions in front of them, the old soldiers were as if in a dream, and the passers-by looked curiously and vigilantly at the group of ragged and unkempt prisoners.
Someone casually threw a copper plate, and the sound of "ding" woke up the group of stupid people.
Qiu Shiyi unconsciously put down his companion on his back, he picked up the copper plate on the ground with his intact left hand and threw it at the passers-by, shouting loudly with all his strength: "Lao Tzu is a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty!" It's Yue Shuai's back-mounted iron horse! Lao Tzu is not a beggar! ”
"This is Lin'an! It's the capital of the Great Song Dynasty that we protected with our lives! Eighteen years have passed, and Lao Tzu has finally seen Lin'an City! Hahaha, what a fucking beauty! ”
Someone laughed wildly, and suddenly sat on the ground with his butt on his head, and cried with his legs shut!
An old soldier pointed his finger at his companion on the ground and scolded: "Zheng Sanjing, are you ashamed?" What is there to cry about when you see Lin'an City? Didn't we live next to it for 18 years, this Lin'an, this Lin'an...... Woo, what a fucking beauty! There are so many people in the city, and the little ladies are so beautifully dressed, more beautiful than all the little ladies Lao Tzu has ever seen! ”
Zheng Sanjing turned his head and scolded: "Yes, Lao Tzu and you have lived on the edge of Lin'an City for eighteen years!" But is that stop? What is the difference between being locked up in a lonely mountain camp and being in a pen of cattle and sheep? Cattle and sheep can still go out to let the wind out, can we? He turned his head and stared intently at the flow of people on the street, "The capital of our Great Song Dynasty is still so beautiful and prosperous, it is not in vain that Lao Tzu has twenty-three more scars on his body, and it is not in vain that Lao Tzu lost one hand and one eye!" It's not in vain that Lao Tzu wrote a blood book and followed the handsome father and son to charge! ”
An old soldier with a wooden stick and his left leg broken at the knee came over and laughed: "Zheng Sanjing, it's not your turn to be a kid!" Zhu Xianzhen's 800 back soldiers hedged against 100,000 gold soldiers without you! Outside Bianjing City, 500 backing soldiers rushed into battle with 80,000 gold soldiers, and there was still no you! But I'm here! ”
Qiu Shiyi smiled and said, "Well said, Old Wei! The brothers don't see each other, their feet don't spin their heels, seven in and seven out, everyone kills the spear and breaks it, the big knife curls the blade, and the whole body is like a blood gourd, but who are our brothers afraid of? The prosperity of Lin'an City was bought by Lao Tzu with blood and life! Come, show the people of Lin'an the scars on our brothers' bodies, it is these scars that have been exchanged for the peace of the Great Song Capital! ”
Qiu Shiyi said "swish" and ripped open his clothes, revealing his scarred chest to the endless crowd on the street! In the astonished eyes of the people of Lin'an, this group of strange people standing on the edge of the street like beggars ripped open their clothes one after another, revealing their chests, and their chests were all crisscrossed with scars!
The ugly scars on the ugly beggar's body are so incompatible with the beauty and prosperity of the heavenly street!
More than ten miles long Tianjie is like a jade dragon, it lies prone in the center of Lin'an City, stretching a beautiful body, small bridges and flowing water, carved beams and paintings, indescribable, inexhaustible beauty. But on this day, in an inconspicuous corner, someone lifted off a scale on the jade dragon's body, revealing the old wounds on its body, as if to tell everyone living in this city that all the fertile soil that supports prosperity has been tempered by blood and fire, and the more gorgeous the flowers, the more they need the nourishment of flesh and blood!
Qiu Shiyi and the others showed their scars on the heavenly street, which almost made them just get out of the prison of the Criminal Department and enter the cell of the Lin'an Mansion, but fortunately, Qiu Shiyi and the others knew each other very well, and under the stick education of the Lin'an Mansion Street Patrol Officer, they not only covered their clothes, but also ran back to the Gushan camp in the wind, wanting to see what big surprise the emperor had prepared for them!
Qiu Shiyi and the others returned to the Gushan camp and found that the camp gate was wide open, and the rejecting deer were placed at the door, but the passage was opened on the left, two small soldiers were responsible for guarding, and a clerk was sitting on the edge of the passage, responsible for registering the old soldiers who entered and exited.
The old pawns were not surprised by the return of Qiu Shiyi and the others, and greeted them with a smile.
Qiu Shiyi pinched his thigh, confirmed that it was not a dream, and pulled Lao Liang, who was about to go out, and asked, "Lao Liang, what's going on?" Why are you all out? ”
Lao Liang said with a smile: "Your Majesty has decreed that twenty brothers are allowed to leave the camp in batches every day, and return to the camp before sunset, and they only need to register at the Clerk's Office. I have lived on the edge of Lin'an City for eighteen years, and the brothers have not taken a good look at the capital of our Great Song Dynasty, and they are all queuing up to rush out of the camp! It's finally my turn today, and I have to go to Lin'an City for a good walk. Listen to me, don't rush back to the camp, you'll talk about it when you've had enough! ”
Qiu Shiyi said with some satisfaction and disappointment: "That's it?" I thought the court really gave us some big surprises, it seems that the real good thing is not our turn! ”
Lao Liang said, "Phew": "That's it? We've been thinking about this for eighteen years! You can pull it down, it's not a big deal? Oh, by the way, the angel who came to announce the decree can say, from next month, if there are people who are willing to return to their hometowns or go to other places to join relatives and friends, they can also be released after registration, and the court will also pay travel expenses and settlement expenses. If you have nowhere to go, you can continue to live in the lonely mountain camp, and the court still pays money, but you are not allowed to make trouble, otherwise you will be severely punished! ”
Lao Liang continued: "I remember that the widowed sister-in-law lived in the countryside of Ezhou with her nephew, and I asked me to send more than half of the silver issued by the imperial court, I don't know what happened to them now? I want to go to Lin'an Mansion to inquire, and I will go back to Ezhou to join my nephew next month! What about you? Where to go? ”
Lao Liang's face was shining, Qiu Shiyi's eyes were a little wet, he shook his head and nodded: "You go, go to Ezhou!" Go to your nephew! I? My father and mother are dead, my brother died in battle, I am in the lonely mountain camp, I will not go anywhere......"
A small boat was parked outside the Qiantang Gate, and a young woman in her twenties kept looking to the shore, followed by a little boy of five or six years old.
The boy stared at the crowd on the shore, desperately trying to find the figure in his memory, he pulled the woman's sleeve, and asked again after a while, "Mother, why hasn't Daddy come yet?" Doesn't he want Boa? Bo'er misses him! ”
The woman patiently replied over and over again: "Good girl, your father will be here soon, why doesn't Daddy want Bao'er?" Daddy's favorite is Bao'er! ”
"Daddy won't leave Bao'er and Mom behind again this time, right? Will Daddy always live with Boa and Mommy? ”
"Daddy, he will never leave us again, our family of three will always be together and never separate!"
The children clapped their hands and cheered: "Oh, that's great, Bao'er's father will never leave Bao'er again!" ”
As soon as Dong Xiaoyi appeared at the dock, the mother and son on the boat waved to him desperately, and the child couldn't wait to run ashore and rushed to him: "Dad, Dad, I'm Bao'er, and my mother and I are here!" ”
Dong Xiaoyi came out of Bingjingwu's dungeon, sat in a carriage and was sent all the way to the Qiantang Gate, and the jailer Kui Zhong handed him a small money bag: "This is what the man entrusted me to you, and he also asked me to tell you a word, 'Dong Xiaoyi, take your wife and children to the healthy countryside to celebrate your birthday, don't go back to Lin'an in the future, and don't ask about the news of the dead person again!'" 'The word has been brought, and the thing has been given to you, farewell! ”
Dong Xiaoyi still wanted to ask about the person's news, but Kui Zhong had already gone away. He walked towards the dock in a daze with the money bag in his hand, until he heard his son's shout and saw his son's small figure rushing over, Dong Xiaoyi suddenly woke up, he picked up his son, put his face on his son's small shoulder, and choked up: "Good boy, in the future, my father will never leave you and your mother, and our family will have a peaceful birthday!" ”
