Chapter 9: The Prison
Jingzhao Mansion Prison,
Several jailers ate and drank around a table, and from time to time a few people shook a few dice.
"Zhang Zhutou, this is our shopkeeper to honor you."
A small man nodded and handed a bag of silver to the middle-aged man who led the jailer, "Li Ping in the prison will trouble you to take care of it!" ”
Take care of this word bites extraordinarily.
Zhang Zhutou put down a braised pig's trotter, wiped the corners of his mouth casually, checked the silver bag with his oily hand, and said with satisfaction, "Go back and tell you the shopkeeper, this catcher knows and will take good care of it." ”
"Then there is Lao Zhang to catch the head, you eat and drink slowly!" After receiving an affirmative reply, the little servant was overjoyed, and immediately poured wine for each jailer, and then withdrew satisfied.
After the little guy walked away, a jailer asked, "Boss, you said that Yang Hu and Li Ping usually have a good relationship like wearing a pair of pants, but this time Li Ping was imprisoned, instead of making a relationship everywhere, he also fell into the next stone?" “
Hearing this, Zhang Zhutou played with the silver bag in his hand, and then played with the taste, "There is no permanent relationship, only permanent interests, businessmen pursue interests, isn't that quite normal?" For the sake of a little fly profit, stabbing knives in the back abound. “
"Boss, listen to what you mean, Li Ping's imprisonment has something to do with Yang Hu?" After hearing this, the jailer next to him rolled his eyes and hurriedly asked.
Hearing this, Zhang Zhutou smiled disdainfully, then shook his head, and said, "This has nothing to do with us, since we have received Yang Hu's money, then we should still do things." “
"Boss, please! It's not a day or two for the brothers to do this kind of thing, and after drinking this glass of wine, we'll go and clean up Li Ping, the kid. “
"Let this kid deserve it, too! I don't know how to check it out for a long time, and I will shout that I am wronged, and my cousin will come to save me. “
"What to save, enter this cell, that is Zhang Zhutou's final say, even if it is a tiger, you have to lie on your stomach.!"
Everyone was flattering, but Zhang Zhutou liked this kind of sycophancy.
In a solitary cell, Li Ping walked around with an anxious face, he really didn't understand that Hua Dan, who stayed at the inn last night, died mysteriously, and he became a murderer inexplicably.
Especially listening to the tone of the officer, he has something to do with the Red Lotus Sect, the anti-thief Red Lotus Sect in the imperial court, once this is implemented, it will really be a full house. The only one who can save himself in front of him is his cousin Li Luodi, who has a smart and clever brain by virtue of his scholarly status.
"Li Ping, what are you thinking?"
Just as Li Ping was pondering, several jailers outside the cell door shouted, and then smiled ill-willedly, "Yo, look at your puzzled expression, a few brothers come in to relax your muscles and bones, and think about it." “
With that, several people opened the cell door and walked in.
Seeing the appearance of several jailers, obviously with no good intentions, Li Ping retreated to the corner of the wall and shouted, "What are you doing? “
"Nothing! I just want to have a good exchange with the shopkeeper Li! “
The prison guards deal with some hard-mouthed prisoners, and they have many ways to make them open their mouths, and they can also leave no traces on the prisoners, also to prevent later retraction of confessions. Today, several jailers were ordered by Zhang Zhutou to clean up Li Ping, and there was only one request, no obvious scars.
"I warn you not to mess around! This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven! Li Pingse roared inwardly.
"We're not going to mess around!" The leader smiled and glanced at the left and right, and after comprehending the left and right, he went up and pressed his arms, and then took out a wet towel himself, in order to make it unable to make a sound for a while.
"My cousin is a scholar of Ming Zhou, you abuse lynching like this, I will make it clear to him when he comes." Li Ping yelled frantically.
"Wait a minute, what did you just say?" The lead jailer put down the towel in his hand and asked in surprise.
"My cousin Li Luodi is a scholar in this year's imperial high school list, ranked nineteenth, how can you treat me like this!"
Seeing what Li Ping said in a decent way, the leading jailer instantly hesitated, and if he was a scholar, it meant that the imperial court would divide the position soon, and when the time came, he would be a real official position, and his little jailer was afraid that he couldn't afford to provoke him, but I didn't know if what he said was true! ”
Seeing that several jailers hesitated, Li Ping was overjoyed, knowing that they were afraid, and then continued to shout, "I don't believe you can check the name of Li Luodi, it's very easy to check." ”
"Third brother, should we ask for instructions!"
Seeing this, the jailer next to him stepped forward and whispered to the leading jailer.
At this time, several people suddenly discovered that this silver was like a hot potato in an instant, and it was not easy to take.
Just as a few people were about to go to ask Zhang Zhutou for instructions, they saw a few people walking towards them.
Before a few people could come back to their senses, Li Ping broke free of the restraints and shouted at a few people, "Brother Luo, I'm here!" ”
"Big brother!"
When the person walking in front heard the sound, he immediately walked up quickly, grabbed Li Ping's hand through the prison door, and looked up and down, "Big brother, you have suffered, it's okay!" ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Ping hurriedly said, "Brother Luo, you can save me this time, the government said that I killed someone, how could I kill someone, eldest brother, how could I kill someone, you know my ......"
Seeing Li Ping's incoherent speech, Li Luodi interrupted, "Don't worry, I'm here to clear my brother's grievances this time!" ”
Seeing this, several jailers in the prison glanced at each other, and one of them quickly left.
"Ma San, what are you doing in the cell?"
Liu Zhutou, who came with him, saw that a few people seemed to be a little sneaky, and immediately asked.
When the jailer named Ma San heard this, his eyes rolled and he hurriedly smiled, "Back to Liu Zhutou, a few of us were ordered to come here to see if there is a need for quilts in Shopkeeper Li's cell!" ”
Seeing this posture, Ma San was not a stupid person, and immediately gave Li Ping a look.
"There's nothing to do with you here, what are you going to do!"
Although Liu Zhutou was a little puzzled, he still felt that the business was important, and he was ready to send them away immediately.
"I'm afraid this is a bit out of order! Liu Zhutou is so powerful. ”
When Ma San and the others hesitated, Zhang Zhutou strode over, glanced at Liu Zhutou with an expressionless face, and said lightly, "Without a warrant from Fu Yin, no one is allowed to have private contact with the suspect." Could it be that you've been a headhunter for so long, and you don't even understand this bit of common sense? ”
Hearing this, Liu Zhutou was a little annoyed, this surnamed Zhang always contradicted him, and immediately said unceremoniously, "This Zhutou has been ordered by the two adults of Jingmingsi to be fully responsible for this case, does Zhang Zhutou want to disobey the orders of the two adults?" ”
"This, I heard that it was ordered by Jing Mingsi, Zhang Zhutou's face was cloudy, and this Jing Mingsi himself couldn't afford to provoke it. Is it to lower him Liu Neng this time?
If he and Liu Neng don't deal with each other, the entire yamen knows it, if he hadn't failed to fight for power with him, how could he have cowered in prison. Therefore, as long as it is linked to Liu Neng, he will always intervene and disgust Liu Neng.
"Since the case was handled on the orders of the two adults, why did you bring the suspect's family to visit the prison?"
"This time, Zhang He, you are clumsy, Li Shusheng is the two adults who personally appointed the person in charge of this case!" Liu Zhutou replied lightly.
"Ahahahaha, Liu Neng, you can't find this excuse well, just say that you have accepted other people's benefits, why do you want to come to Tang Sieve me like this!" Hearing this, Zhang Zhutou laughed, obviously not believing it.
"If you don't want to believe it, I can't help it!" Liu Zhutou shook his head, "But this is the order given by the two adults." For the sake of our many years of working together, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs this time and affect the progress of the case, otherwise no one will be able to save you at that time! “
"You don't have to worry about it, since you are in charge of investigating this case and want to see the suspect, then I can't care, but the idlers and others, it's better to quit immediately, otherwise I'll have to ask them out?" After saying that, with a wave of his hand, several jailers were instantly ready to come up, wanting to blast Li Luodi and the others out.
"You dare? Zhang He, did you eat leopard gall? Liu Neng was furious.
Some of this Zhang He didn't know what to do, and they deliberately embarrassed. Li Luodi frowned slightly, just about to say something.
I saw Xiao Yao walk up, smiled slightly, took out a sign from his waist, handed it to Zhang Zhutou, and said, "Please also ask this brother to make it convenient!" “
Zhang He, who was originally disdainful, glanced at it slightly, and wanted to throw the sign back, but after seeing the words and tokens on it, he was shocked, and his hand almost slipped and he didn't hold the brand steady.
After losing his mind for a long time, in the surprised expressions of several people, he trembled and returned the sign to Xiao Yao, and said respectfully, "Just now, the villain has no eyes, and I still look at this adult Haihan!" “
Xiao Yao took the sign with a smile and said, "You can disappear now!" “
"Disappear now, disappear now!"
Hearing this, Zhang He kicked a few stunned officials and hurriedly left with everyone.
