Chapter 81: Locked in a Cell
But he said that Yang Shucheng was about to escape with Lin Dongmei, but he didn't want to, so the robber ran away with the officers and soldiers.
Yang Shucheng was in a hurry, and hurriedly pushed Lin Dongmei to the middle of the people who were standing under the eaves watching the excitement, and stood in front of her to protect.
When an officer and soldier saw Yang Shucheng hanging a long sword from his waist and a weak person, he thought he was a robber, and hurriedly ran over, picked up the ghost head knife and slashed at his head.
Yang Shucheng hurriedly dodged, and the officer and soldier slashed into the air, becoming even more determined that he was a robber, so he did not give up, and kept swinging the knife and slashing indiscriminately.
The other officers and soldiers saw that their companions were only slashing towards Yang Shucheng, thinking that they were robbers, and with a hula, four or five officers and soldiers ran over and surrounded Yang Shucheng in the middle.
Yang Shucheng didn't dare to be the enemy of the officers and soldiers, but he just avoided him, and those officers and soldiers only treated him as a bully, and they were even happier to kill.
Officers and soldiers kill robbers, but if they kill Yang Shucheng, it is their specialty.
Yang Shucheng resisted several people alone, and the officers and soldiers became more and more determined that he was a robber. For a while, more officers and soldiers came and slashed around Yang Shucheng.
"I'm not a robber." Yang Shucheng shouted.
This time, the officers and soldiers cut even more happily, because Yang Shucheng's accent was not a local, and he must be a robber who wandered here.
"Don't tie your hands yet." The officers and soldiers treated him as a turtle in an urn.
At this time, the robbers had almost run away, and a few officers and soldiers who had also fled quickly and couldn't catch up ran back, and they all came to surround Yang Shucheng in the center as their trophies.
Yang Shucheng couldn't escape, and he didn't dare to fight, so he had to wait for death.
Several officers and soldiers came up and tied up Yang Shucheng.
"I'm not a robber." Yang Shucheng made one last effort.
The leader of the officers and soldiers strode over, raised his hand, and gave Yang Shucheng a big ear bracket with a "snap", which made half of his face red. The leader said: "When I hear your accent, I am not a local, and I dare to quibble." Take it back. ”
A group of robbers ran out, and the officers and soldiers of this team captured one Yang Shucheng alone, and it was done.
At this time, I saw another group of officers and soldiers approaching with more than 20 robbers. These robbers were caught, and they cried out that they were wronged, saying that they were not robbers. The officers and soldiers stepped forward and punched and kicked, saying, "Be honest, or I will kill you." ”
The robbers immediately shut up and did not dare to cry out for injustice. The officers and soldiers of the two teams joined together, escorted the robbers, and returned victorious, and the people watching the bustle on the street were all applauding.
And the robbers robbed a rich family, packed several bags of gold and silver treasures, ran to the city wall, and climbed out of the city from the soft ladder that had been erected beforehand.
Thinking of this rich family, through several generations of thrift and thrift, bit by bit has accumulated into a wealthy family in the city, and he is usually reluctant to spend a copper plate.
The rich family also hired a few masters to protect the hospital, so the family was rich, but they could also maintain peace for a few years. As a result, they were all taken captive by robbers tonight. They all sighed at home, which was sadder than the death of their father.
However, it was said that Yang Shucheng was tied up by officers and soldiers and escorted back to the county government as a robber.
There were robbers in the city, robberies carried out by open fire, where could the county still sleep soundly, and he had already given orders in the public court and arranged for men and horses to pursue them.
Sure enough, soon after, the officers and soldiers arrested more than 20 robbers and came to the county government to make a mission.
The robbers were all caught, but not a single piece of the looted property was left.
The magistrate was furious, slapped the shocking wood loudly, and shouted: "These robbers with thousands of knives are all put in prison, and tomorrow at dawn, I will kill a few to relieve the hatred in my heart." ”
The more than 20 robbers who were tying up and kneeling under the hall were actually the ordinary people of Li who were watching the excitement on the side of the street, and they were caught by the officers and soldiers as robbers, and now they are kneeling under the hall and shouting injustice at the magistrate.
The magistrate saw that there was a shout of injustice in the hall, and the noise made his ears itch, so he lost his temper and shouted: "Listen to your accent, you are not locals, they are all robbers from here, all of them will be taken down, beaten with 30 boards, all of them will be imprisoned, and they will be tried again tomorrow." ”
The magistrate retreated, and if he shouted injustice, he would only shout hoarse.
Then I heard them cry again, and they were dragged down to the church, pressed to the ground, and struck up the board firmly, and cried out in pain.
The board hit my body, and my body hurt so much that I had to shout out. Even outside the yamen, they could hear it clearly, and those people knew that the magistrate was fighting robbers, and everyone was happy.
Yang Shucheng was also beaten with 30 boards, locked in prison, lying on the cold ground, suffering pain on his body, unable to think, he came out to look for his sister, but his sister was not found, and he was reflexively imprisoned, I don't know what my fate will be in the future, I am just distressed in my heart.
How can you sleep while lying on the cold ground?
There were more than 20 innocent outsiders in this prison, lying on the ground in a mixed manner, either shouting grievances or crying out in pain, and making trouble all night.
It was closed for three days in a row,
On the morning of this day, the magistrate sat in the court, brought the more than 20 robbers, knelt in the court, and wrote their names one by one.
The magistrate took a pen and stroked five robbers in the book, preparing to be beheaded tomorrow to deter those robbers who were on the run.
Among these five robbers, there is Yang Shucheng.
Put the five robbers on death row.
The jailer pushed Yang Shucheng into the prison and locked the iron door with a big iron lock, making it difficult for you to fly.
Yang Shucheng stood in the local area, and there were two in this prison in advance, adding up to seven, and he would be beheaded tomorrow.
There was a man lying in the corner of the wall, looking at his figure, very fat, lying there, snoring and sleeping, and the others knew that they would be killed tomorrow, and they all sighed, but he was different.
Yang Shucheng walked over to see who it was? Although this man was in prison, his face was clean and fat. This is incredible.
This man himself knows it.
He is Zhang Yike, the head of the Hidden Dragon Sword Sect.
How could Zhang Yike be on death row and beheaded tomorrow, and he would still be able to sleep peacefully?
Yang Shucheng walked over, with ropes firmly tied to his body and hands, and he couldn't move his hands, so he had to shout with his mouth: "Zhang Zhang, Zhang Zhang......"
That Zhang Yike finally woke up, opened his eyes, and looked at Yang Shucheng for a while, but his expression was very confused.
Yang Shucheng said hurriedly: "Master Zhang, it's me, I'm Yang Shucheng." ”
That Zhang Yike got up and shouted, "It turned out to be Brother Yang, why are you here too?" ”
It turned out that Zhang Yike was locked in the cellar and thought that he would die, but he was rescued by Yang Shucheng and Li Xing, how could he not remember Yang Shucheng?
Yang Shucheng said that he was wronged as a robber, and also said that he would be beheaded tomorrow.
After listening to it, Zhang Yike finally said a sentence and said:
"You drank a bottle of incense from Wangjia Village a few days ago, and I smell some aftertaste, right?"
"Yes, yes." Yang Shucheng said: "Why is Zhangmen on death row? ”
Zhang Yike said: "I heard that the bottle of incense brewed in Wangjia Village, Xixia County is good, so I ran thousands of miles away, drunk in the village for three days, and after waking up, I ran to the city, the day before yesterday, I was very drunk, I slept on the street and did not wake up, and was arrested by the officers and soldiers as robbers and locked in this prison. ”
Yang Shucheng said: "Master Zhang, you go out quickly, it's hard to be locked up here." ”
"What's wrong." Zhang Yike said, "I know that I have been drunk all my life, and if I get drunk a few times, I will die, and you also advise me to quit drinking, but I can't quit, this is not in prison, if I haven't drunk in the past two days, I should be considered to quit bar." ”
"It's not." Yang Shucheng hurriedly said, "The people in our prison will be treated as robbers and will be executed tomorrow." ”
"Ahh Zhang Yike jumped up in shock and shouted: "This hateful magistrate, if I go out, I won't be able to spare him." ”
"How did this come out?" Yang Shucheng said urgently.
"I have a way." Zhang Yike shouted to the cell boss outside:
"Cell boss, we are going to die tomorrow, don't bring the prison food, let us eat and drink enough, so that we can go on the road, it is best to bring the bottle of incense from Wangjia Village. I'm going to get over my addiction to alcohol before I die. ”
It turned out to be a way to die.
Yang Shucheng was completely desperate.
"I'm going to die, what's the hell to call it?" The cell boss was impatient with Zhang Yike's quarrel.
