Chapter XVII: Custody
The master announced outside the door: "Adult, the child has been brought here." ”
After a while, someone lazily ordered, "Let him in." Stay away, and do not come near without my summons. ”
The master looked down at Yun Qian, waved the paper fan, and ordered the officials to push him in. took advantage of the door to peek into the hall, but there was no one else except the county guard, so he sighed regretfully and walked away with the officials.
The county guard has a wide face and square forehead, long eyebrows and plump lips, and if there is no black mole at the end of the eye, he has a simple and honest face. At the moment, he was dressed in civilian clothes, and he was not dignified. Seeing Yun Qian coming in, he drank the fragrant tea crookedly: "What's your name?" ”
"Yunqian, the grass people, is an apprentice of Junxing Pawnshop", Yunqian replied.
"Don't be afraid, I called you to ask about something, and I just told you honestly, and I won't be harsh. However, if you deceive and deceive your own officials, beware that the law is ruthless. "The county guards the grace and power at the same time, and the style is obvious.
Yun Qian responded: "My lord, please ask, the grass people should know everything." ”
The county guard turned the cup and bowl: "It's quite well-behaved, I heard that some time ago, you were kidnapped by the mountain bandits of the Longshan Gang, and your life was not guaranteed, but you were rescued by a man with a sword box on his back, and it seems that he has been together for a while, who is he and where is he now?" ”
Yun Qian lowered his head, but suddenly rose in his heart: It turned out that it was all for the purpose of chasing down the heroes, and the list was posted outside, so I was arrested and interrogated here. Du Chongshan was kidnapped last night, and it seems that they did it too, so they will know that I am involved. But how do you know Du Chongshan? Was it torture to the bandits, or were they a gang? Thinking of this, I was shocked.
Seeing that Yun Qian was silent, the county guard slammed the tea bowl lightly: "If you want to hide it, don't blame me for the execution." ”
Yun Qian said nervously: "Lord Hui, there is indeed such a thing, that day the grass people fell from the tree and fell unconscious, before they lost their sleep, they saw a person fighting with the mountain bandits, and they did carry a thing behind them, but the grass people didn't know what it was." Later, when he woke up, he found that he had left the mountains and forests, and hurriedly ran back to Lushou City. Where he is now, the grass people really don't know. ”
The county guard sneered: "Leave it clean, but I heard that you returned to the pawnshop, so I found the shopkeeper and quarreled, and said that his brother killed you, how do you know, didn't the thief tell you?" ”
Yun Qian was shrewd, and replied pretending to be embarrassed: "It turns out that Lord County Shou also knows about it, and the grass people are indeed reckless in this matter. When he was led on horseback that day, the two mountain bandits said Du Chongshan by name, and the grass people were indignant, and when they returned to the city, they ran directly to the aunt's room to theorize, and then they were scolded out. ”
The county guard threatened with a fierce gaze: "Do you know that deceiving the government, at least it will be distributed, and at worst it will be killed with a cane, if you just care about the thief's old feelings and give up your life, it is not worth it." ”
Yun Qian hurriedly said: "My lord, I really have nothing to do with him, and I even have doubts about whether I was saved by him, how could I deceive my lord." ”
The county guard squinted at Yun Qian and said no more. There was silence in the hall for a moment, except for the sound of the lid slipping and the county guard swallowing. The more time passed, Yun Qian's heart became irritable, and his thoughts began to be confused. Suddenly, a woman's voice appeared in my head: "Tell him what you know, you can leave, tell him, you can still get what you want." The voice was ethereal and bewildering, as if there was nothing more intriguing in the world than this, and it was hard for him to refuse.
The county guard sitting in front of the screen saw Yun Qian laughing dumbly, with a contemptuous look on his face, and slowly asked, "Who is he and where is he now?" ”
Yun Qian raised his head, his eyes glazed and said, "My lord, he...", suddenly his body trembled imperceptibly, and continued: "His affairs, the grass people don't know. ”
The county guard put down the tea bowl, Wei Yunqian walked a few steps, didn't see anything unusual, and snorted coldly and ordered outside the door: "Come on, escort him to the dungeon." At this time, if he waited for a while, he would see the traces of Yun Qian's clothes being soaked with sweat.
The official entered in response and escorted Yun Qian out with a push. After the two left, the county guard gently covered the door of the house, and then his expression changed, and he saluted respectfully towards the screen: "My lord, this child should have nothing to do with that person, he should have saved him casually, so why detain him again and cause criticism." ”
Speaking out of thin air, without the slightest response, the county guard coughed lightly: "My lord, are you still there?" A fragrant fragrance of sesame grass wafted from behind him, and the county guard hurriedly turned around, but saw a red robe in front of him caressing the bridge of his nose, and the intoxicating aroma spread to his heart. So he flattered: "My lord, do you want to let him go?" ”
The red-sleeved floating case, a plump and beautiful woman, gently lifted her soft hand, leaned on the side chair and stroked her forehead in contemplation. Just when the county guard's mood was uncontrollable, the woman said lazily: "If you look again, this girl has picked your tricks." ”
The county guard knelt down in horror: "The adult looks ashamed of the Ying Yan jealousy, like a fairy, so he peeps at it recklessly, the little promise, I will never dare to do it again in the future, and the adult is angry." ”
The woman's voice laughed like a warbler: "The mouth is really sweet, it's not in vain that I chose you to come, get up." This time it was a good job, I will give you a first credit, as for that child, although I used the Diyan technique to lead him to speak, but I always feel a little strange, it is better to lock it up first, and then release it in a few days. ”
The county guard stepped back a few feet, and then got up and bent up: "Thank you, my lord, I will definitely monitor him strictly, and if there is any abnormal movement, I will immediately inform my lord." Only, just... For the sake of a mere martial artist, why do you need to spend your body and come in person? ”
The woman wiped her fingertips: "Who said I only came for him?" Seeing that the county guard was silent, he chuckled and said, "Among the bandits who besieged him that night, there was an injured and faked death. I saw him take out the glowing giant sword from the sword box, and with one sword, he stopped the outer cultivators and other mountain bandits of the Desolate Alliance. I guess this person must have inherited the legacy of a down-and-out family, and with the blessing of a treasure weapon, he was able to do so with a mortal body. If I get this treasure, or even his inheritance, do you think I still need to see other people's faces? ”
The county guard knew the woman's methods, and couldn't help but doubt: "My lord, will there be a fake in this?" ”
The woman gently folded her sleeves and stood up: "It doesn't hurt to tell you about this, so you don't have some crooked thoughts." Now the leader of the Longshan Gang is the Tan (Yinlou) who was bought by my sect in the early years. I've been to see that wood, nearly a hundred zhang of grass and trees are crossed, the mountains and rocks are cut, so powerful, not only I can't do it, I'm afraid that those old guys will have to spend some strength. ”
The county guard looked embarrassed: "My lord, it's not a small shirk, if that person is really so powerful, I'm worried that most of the soldiers alone won't be able to stop him, if you miss your big thing, I can't afford to wait for it." ”
The woman looked at her fingertips charmingly: "Don't worry, this level is not something that can be used if you want to, I think he has been running away since then, and he must be unable to urge the treasure weapon anymore, you can send more people." Also, there are rumors here that you need to spread in several places in the city. If you do it carefully, this girl will be rewarded. ”
The sound was wonderful, the woman was gone, only a piece of paper slowly fell on the desk, and the county guard smelled the residual fragrance of the red-robed woman, and was intoxicated: "The little one must do his best." ”
In the empty hall, the county guard picked up the paper and danced like a dancing girl.
……
Yun Qian was escorted to the entrance of the dungeon, and the head of the guard put the tea and shackles from behind: "Why is it a child, what is the way to come?" ”
The official replied: "The county guard will explain, I will only do things." ”
The cell boss spat out: "You always know." ”
The official replied dissatisfiedly: "Nine years old. ”
The cell boss pursed his lips, hung up the shackles again, pressed Yun Qian's shoulder and said, "Take it." The servant snorted disdainfully, and turned back.
The cell boss scolded: "I don't understand the rules." Then he pushed Yun Qian into the dungeon, and muttered: "The world is going down, and the newcomers are unruly." You are a child, too, it is not good to stay at home, you have to make trouble. Yun Qian didn't say anything and let the cell head push him, but he silently recalled the actions of the county guard and the voice in his head.
There were many and few prisoners in the cell, most of them were miserable, and some even had autumn insects hovering, Yun Qian peeked at it, and couldn't help but gasp.
The cell boss deliberately used some strength, but seeing that Yun Qian was still silent, he sighed and said: "I'm still a stupid boy, I don't have any fun thinking about Siluo, and my life is not easy." Then he found an empty cell and kicked Yun Qian in. He pointed to the ground and waved his hand, indicating that there was no dot, and that he would leave it for the time being, and he would be optimistic about the situation.
Yun Qian didn't understand the gestures, but when he first learned the pawnshop Spring Festival, Dou Ping also mentioned some code words from other industries, and the cell boss said that Si Luo represented the class jailer to ask for bribes from prisoners. Looking at the tragic situation of the other prisoners in the prison, Yun Qian's heart was crossed, and he decided to play stupid for the time being, until Uncle Lu Shi came to rescue him.
However, the wait lasted five days. Although it was difficult to eat and sleep in the first two days, it was considered peaceful. But the county guard came to the prison again to threaten Yun Qian, and when he saw that he was silent, he was transferred to an inner cell. The environment in the inner cell is dark and damp, and there is a murderer involved in many murders, who is usually silent, but when the jailer delivers food, he snatches his food like a hungry beast.
At this time, Yun Qian was already skinny, sloppy, and desolate under the corner. In fact, he also thought about confessing to the county guard, although he knew very little about the heroes, but he thought that he could change his freedom, but he didn't want to cross the hurdle in his heart anyway. I even feel that dying like this and fulfilling my heart is also a good destination.
The prisoner leaning on the other side, looking at Yun Qian's declining appearance, had no pity in his heart, only disdain. But the loneliness in the prison was unbearable, and he still mocked him in a hoarse voice: "Boy, I see that you have shown your will to die, why bother to endure it, do you want me to be a good person and help you get free." ”
Yun Qian's eyes were uncertain, and he licked his chapped lips: "You don't have that guts." ”
The prisoner laughed fiercely: "You say I don't dare to kill you? No matter how many people I kill outside, how many unjustly killed ghosts there are in this inner prison alone. Dare to provoke me. ”
Yun Qian stopped answering, and tried to turn around and stop looking at him. But a thin but cold palm slowly put on Yun Qian's neck: "You say, do I dare to kill you." ”
Yun Qian looked at the prisoner weakly, raised the corners of his mouth, and provoked: "You don't have that guts." robbing me of food every day, just to live, a seed. ”
A sentence seemed to pierce the mind under the vicious skin, and the prisoner's eyes stood up, and his palm suddenly exerted force: "You dare to provoke me." ”
Yun Qian burst into tears, but instead of resisting at all, he grinned, and his eyes revealed a sense of stubbornness and determination. The prisoner seemed to have been greatly insulted, and his other hand also clasped Yun Qian's neck.
Looking at Yun Qian's gradually dilated eyes, the prisoner was stunned, and those eyes reflected his murderous appearance. For a moment, only in this moment, it was empty, as if the pillar that had supported him for a long time had collapsed, and there was nothing to do.
There is no strength in the heart, and anger falls into emptiness. Lonely and distracted, he withdrew his hands and moved back to his corner like a puppet.
Yun Qian, who was almost strangled to death, coughed violently, gasped, and mocked angrily in a hoarse voice: "You don't have that guts!" ”
Crucian carp swims, carp swims, and crucian carp do not distinguish between fishermen. Good people are stubborn, evil people are stubborn, likes and dislikes are uncertain, and morality is unstable.
