After that day, Wu Shifeng brought news to the Rongcheng County Order, but Liu Mo's bones were very hard and he refused to give in.

The county magistrate Chen Zhiyuan was not surprised, he had a way to be such a hard bone as the other party.

This time, he changed Liu Mo to a hellish dungeon.

Before being pushed into the dungeon, he briefly glanced inside the room, and when the door slammed shut, he couldn't see anything clearly. There was not a ray of light here, and he was no different from a blind man.

The ground was damp, and the room was cold, but there was no thatch.

"I have to keep going!" Liu Mo sat down against the wall, trying to adjust his breathing.

Time has lost its concept here, there is no sun rising and moon setting, nothing can be seen, not even a mark on the wall.

It makes no difference whether you open your eyes or close your eyes.

He slept and woke up, woke up and slept, not knowing which was more painful to fall asleep or to wake up.

When I fall asleep, I dream, dark, disturbing dreams, filled with blood. When I woke up, I had nothing to do but think.

Time passed, days passed, or at least it felt that way.

Hunger enveloped again.

Since eating the fried chicken beer brought by Wu Shifeng, Liu Mo has not eaten half a grain of rice until now, nor has he drunk half of it.

The torture caused him to develop a high fever and chapped lips.

Half-asleep, the heavy wooden door "babbled" open, and the sudden light stung his eyes.

One of the jailers threw a jar at him. The kettle is cold and the surface is densely covered with water droplets.

Liu Mo held his hands tightly and swallowed hungrily. Water trickles down the corners of his mouth and drips into his messy beard. He drank until he felt unwell.

"How long has it been......?" He asked weakly as he stood up.

The other party ignored him, just urged him to drink quickly.

Liu Mo wanted to say something, but the jailer snatched the jug from him.

"How long will I be locked up?" Liu Mo roared.

The jailer kicked him angrily, then turned around, and the door slammed shut, and the light vanished.

He blinked, lowered his head, and curled up on the straw. The straw no longer smells of urine and feces, it doesn't smell at all.

He could no longer tell the difference between falling asleep and waking up. In the dark, memories creep into my heart, vivid like a fantasy.

The first time I saw Lin Shiqi, the garden of Linfu, the green grass was evergreen, and I smelled the pollen in the wind. That smile, that figure.

Kissing her on the cheek for the first time, she blushed, but did not stop.

The sacrifice she made for me, accepting Xin'er, accepting the child in Xin'er's womb.

I'm going to have to keep going anyway.

When the gate opened again, the bright light of the torch pierced Liu Mo's eyes. "Food," he said in a hoarse voice, "I need food!" ”

"Want food? It's so simple! "It's still the fat jailer who came." As long as you are willing to nod, it will be given to you immediately! ”

Seeing that Liu Mo was silent, the fat jailer smiled lightly. "Shopkeeper Liu, why should you be difficult for yourself." He said, "Well, let's do it another way." If you don't value your body, what about the lives of your wives? How precious it is! ”

A chill hit Liu Mo's heart. "Shiqi, Mandarin ......"

"Haha, if you still insist on this, then your beautiful ladies can..."

"Don't," Liu Mo shouted in a hoarse voice. "What is their sin in coming at me? Don't get them involved! ”

"Shopkeeper Liu, what kind of crime you want, we can arrange it for you, hahaha!" The fat jailer laughed.

"Think about it: the next person to visit you may be bringing steamed buns, jerky, and analgesic herbs...... But you may also bring your wife to go to jail with you! ”

"Which one to choose, Shopkeeper Liu, it all depends on your decision. Don't hurt your original wife for the sake of a roommate. ”

Chop and start to lose patience? Hearing the fat jailer's words, Liu Mo smiled bitterly, "Tell Lord Chen that I agree!" ”

"Hahaha, a smart move!"

~~~

After hearing that Liu Mo was willing to "compromise", Chen Zhiyuan really sent a few steamed buns, and the next day, the jailer told him that you can be released from prison.

As soon as he walked out of the prison, Liu Mo felt dizzy, Zhao Da and Wang Xiaoqi had been waiting at the gate of the county government for a long time, and when they saw this situation, they hurriedly stepped forward.

Zhao Da found a cane for him, and Wang Xiaoqi brought him a pot of refreshing wine, with a lot of honey added to the wine.

Even so, it still doesn't relieve vertigo.

Walking on the road, his legs couldn't stop shaking, and he could only lean on crutches with one hand and Zhao Da's shoulder with the other.

When leaving the county office, Liu Mo couldn't help but glance back and show a smile.

"Chen Zhiyuan, you wait, there are good fruits to eat!"

It turned out that all this was expected by Liu Mo.

After Wu Shifeng met with him, he had already made a plan.

But this encounter taught him one thing: never underestimate your opponent!

Chen Zhiyuan is not a fool, from beginning to end, he has never shown up, and has been behind the scenes.

Such a cautious person agrees too quickly, for fear that it will arouse his suspicion.

"Jingshui Pavilion" is Liu Mo's only belongings, and he easily handed over seventy percent of the profits, how will his family live in the future?

Again, as soon as Wu Shifeng left on his front foot, Liu Mo agreed to come down, which was too easy to arouse suspicion.

In order to "protect" Wu Shifeng, even if he knew what kind of toss he would suffer next, Liu Mo had to grit his teeth and persevere.

The longer he persists, the more he can paralyze the enemy, and at the same time, it can also wear out Chen Zhiyuan's patience.

Sure enough, when the fat jailer began to threaten the safety of Lin Shiqi and Xin'er, he knew that the time had come.

He just wanted Chen Zhiyuan to believe that Liu Mo was worried about Lin Shiqi, so he gave in.

After getting into the carriage, Liu Mo, who was already weak, was bumpy all the way, so that he vomited as soon as he got off the carriage.

Lin Shiqi, who was waiting outside the door of Jingshui Pavilion, didn't mention how distressed she was, her eyes were moist, and she couldn't cry for a long time.

Yuan'er also stepped forward with a worried face, and helped Liu Mo back to the restaurant with Lin Shiqi.

"Where's Xin'er?" Liu Mo asked.

"She's in..."Lin Shiqi wanted to speak and stopped.

"Is it in the county jail?"

Wang Xiaoqi nodded bitterly. "Yes, uncle, Xiang Wu was also arrested by them."

"I'll be honest, uncle. You're a little too much this time... Unreasonable! Li Xin couldn't help but complain.

"What do you mean by being unkind." The anxious Yuan'er scolded even more: "Damn Xin'er, it's all her aunt who harmed her, this cheap woman really does everything!" She deserves to go to jail! ”

"Mandarin mandarin, don't talk nonsense!" Lin Shiqi hurriedly dissuaded.

"I'm not talking nonsense, miss, look what she has done to her husband!"

"I don't believe Lady Xin'er would do such a thing!" Zhao Da opened his mouth, "Mrs. Xin'er's personality is obvious to all!" ”

"The facts are in front of you, you said that Niu San wronged her, then her second uncle and aunt also wronged her, and the county lord also wronged her?" The more Mandarin Man spoke, the more energetic he became.

"Even Mandarin Duck has such a big misunderstanding, this rumor is really terrible!"

Liu Mo didn't make a sound, but raised his head sharply and glared at the mandarin mandarin orange.

Since she met Liu Mo, she had never seen such a stern expression, which scared her to shut up again and again.

"Don't mention this again!" Liu Mo said, "Xin'er, she is no longer my Liu Mo's wife, you should not know this person!" ”

"Uncle, you..."Wang Xiaoqi really didn't expect Liu Mo to say such a thing.

"Let's do it!" Liu Mo said loudly, "I'm going upstairs to rest, it's nothing serious, don't bother me!" ”

After saying that, he went upstairs without looking back.

Liu Mo treated Xin'er like this, which made everyone puzzled.

The old uncle is gone? Or is this what he is?

In the face of interests, Liu Mo will also sell his conscience?

For a while, the entire "Jingshui Pavilion" seemed to be covered with dark clouds, and everyone was covered with a layer of haze.

In such a state, business has naturally been greatly affected.

Since Liu Mo was sent to the county jail, in the past ten days, "Jingshui Pavilion" has been in a state of loss.

In this way, even if the grievances are reversed in the future, Li Guangrun has also achieved the purpose of stirring up the business of "Jingshui Pavilion".

The third day after he was released from prison was the end of December.

The new year of the Great Xia Dynasty, the year of Wuzi is coming.

As is customary, old accounts must be settled in full before the New Year.

Early in the morning, before the sky was fully bright, "Jingshui Pavilion" had not yet opened, and someone knocked on the door.

The rapid knocking on the door made the hearts of everyone in their sleep uneasy.

At this time, Liu Mo was already dressed neatly, as if he had guessed it a long time ago.

opened the door, and someone arched his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, excuse me, we're here to get the silver!" ”

"What silver?"

"Hey, you're still pretending to be stunned? How did you forget how it was released? ”

It's here to get seventy percent of the profits, damn corrupt officials.

"That's what happened!" Liu Mo smiled faintly, "Zhao Da, bring it out!" ”

A box of silver ingots was taken out and handed over to the visitor.

The other party was not polite, picked up the silver box and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Liu Mo stopped the man, "Should I leave something?" ”

"Oh? What does Shopkeeper Liu want? ”

"I don't have a receipt or anything like that, if someone fraudulently claims it, what should I do?"

"Haha, no one dares to pretend to be the county master, shopkeeper Liu, don't worry!"

"That won't work, I won't be able to get a second sum of money!"

The person who came was not a stupid person, so naturally he would not leave any evidence to prove that the county master was greedy.

"Shopkeeper Liu, don't be smart." The visitor reminded, "What you want, you don't." If I don't get out of the way, I'll have to tell the truth. Haven't you tasted enough of the taste of the county jail? ”

Liu Mo's face sank, "It's rude!" ”

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances!" As he spoke, the man took the silver box and walked away.

"Uncle..."Zhao Da's face turned pale, "Why are we so cowardly, hey!! ”

Liu Mo grinned, "Nest? Hmph, when did I Liu Mo ever have a bag! ”

"Huh? So what are you? ”

"We'll find out then!"

Hearing this, General Zhao was suspicious, "What tricks did my uncle play this time?" ”
