Wang Zhenren picked out the mold spots and swallowed a mouthful of the already hard cake.

Just swallow this cold water. He seemed to have made up his mind, and finally decided to open the letter.

His hands were shaking, and he thought, there was no worse situation than now.

He didn't dare to go out, for fear that as soon as he went out, he would face everyone's disgusting faces and unbearable scolding.

He hasn't been out for the past few days. He thought, meaninglessly, maybe he would end up starving to death. People would be insulting at his corpse.

His hands were shaking, and his lips were bloodied as he tore open the letter.

He shook it off for a long time before he shook the folded letter open, and then saw the contents of the letter.

After seeing the letter, it was as if the person at the bottom of the valley instantly flew up to the clouds, with a heavy heart. The body is light. The dangling boulder finally fell, and he felt as if he was about to fly, what did he see?

Just a few lines. But those few lines of words seemed to carry infinite power, making Wang Zhenren instantly energetic.

Wang Zhenren was comforted all at once.

There were only a few lines on the letter.

"Seeing the words, I heard that there are many bad things for you recently, don't care, although I am far away in Jiangnan, I also have some friends in the capital, I am writing to ask them to find out the truth and return your innocence. Trust me, I won't let you live in the scolding. I will return to the city in ten days, and when I return, I will ask you for the promise you made to me. ”

The writing is crooked. But every stroke seems to have a shocking power, which makes Wang Zhenren feel at ease all of a sudden.

……

Wang Zhenren's eyes moistened suddenly, and a drop of hot tears flowed down from his eyes, ticking and falling on the letterhead.

Jiangnan was damp, and the ink was not dry, and after his tears, it slowly spread around.

Then tears rained down, and the letter was instantly drenched, and soon the words were blurred. It's just that those words have been rubbed into his mind, and Wang Zhenren feels that he will never forget them again in his life.

But in the end, he still didn't wait for Yang Xiu.

The day after receiving this letter, so his rumors intensified, and even the prefectural order had to pay attention to it.

Now everyone in the whole city knows about it, and no one knows that there is such a heinous person living in the county town, and it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred of the people if he is not arrested and killed.

Although no actual evidence could be found, he could be arrested and imprisoned, and everyone petitioned.

None of them. If he continues to show off his power outside, I don't know who he will hurt in the future, and whose daughter he will rob?

Even though there was no actual evidence, the county order ordered him to be arrested.

There is no way, the pressure from the people in the past few days is too great, and the county order has to pay attention to this matter.

Wang Zhenren was imprisoned, and back then, even when he was down, he never went to prison.

When the jailers came to his courtyard to arrest him, Wang Zhenren tried his best to resist, trying to convince people with reason, wanting to tell them that he was wronged, but those jailers did not believe at all, as long as the people were afraid of him one day. The county magistrate will take him to prison, and he won't be able to come out for a day.

There were many people around his gate, and everyone applauded.

Their expressions were happy, even though they had never been hurt by Wang Zhenren.

"Haha, this heinous villain has finally been caught! I can finally go out and buy groceries with peace of mind! Don't you know, when I heard that he would rob the people's daughter, how afraid I was that my daughter would be arrested, my daughter is a yellow flower girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, if he ruins her reputation, how will she marry in the future? ”

"Don't say it, my children are the saddest thing for me. I used to be illiterate, so I asked my children to follow him to read and write. I'm really afraid that he will teach my child badly! Now I immediately pooled money from my family to send him to a regular academy to study, hoping that if the child learns something bad, I can quickly break the child back, which is really harmful! ”

"I said long ago that there is no such thing as pie falling from the sky, and you didn't want to hear that at the time. How can anyone pay a student without counting the tuition fee? I know what he was thinking at the time. He's killed people, killed a few children, isn't that as simple as we kill chickens? Who knows if he took these children in order to kill them casually when things didn't go his way! ”

"Oh my God, he's so terrible, a murderous demon, it's just that! Fortunately, my child didn't come here because he was an apprentice in a hotel at the time, and now that I think about it, I really escaped at that time. ”

"It's really deserved, it's deserved. Now that he has finally been caught, everyone can rest assured! You neighbors don't have to worry about him anymore! ”

……

The people around the onlookers were all happy, as if they had praised Wang Zhenren for all their lives, and they seemed to have forgotten how much respect they had for Wang Zhenren.

When Wang Zhenren heard everyone's discussion, the thoughts that originally wanted to struggle fell little by little, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back.

Was the explanation helpful? Explanations are useless, didn't he also explain when he was in the teahouse? But does anyone believe it? No one believed it at all, and until now, everyone still believes those rumors and doesn't believe him.

Even everyone wants to send him to prison and let the county order condemn him to death, as if only by convicting him of capital crimes, everyone will feel at ease!

For a while, Wang Zhenren was arrested and imprisoned, and everyone said that he was very happy, and everyone was even more praised for the county order.

And just after arresting Wang Zhenren, the county order was indeed promoted to the provincial capital.

The people all congratulated such a parent official who thought about the people and moved to the provincial capital. And no one cares, whether he arrested Wang Zhenren for these political achievements, or to sympathize with the people.

In short, Wang Zhenren was thrown into prison.

When he left, he still had the letter in his arms.

That letter was his last straw, and without it, he really felt that he would not be able to survive.

In prison, there are many people who are really the most evil.

Everyone saw Wang Zhenren's eyes, just like a tiger saw its prey.

Wang Zhenren is a scholar, and it stands to reason that he should not be thrown into this prison like a villain.

He was like a rabbit in it, inadvertently intruding into the forbidden land of the wild wolf, he panicked, but he fell into the mouth of the tiger, and there was no power to resist.

Almost all the others in the death row have fierce looks, and some of them have a scar across their faces, which makes them look very difficult to mess with. What scared Wang Zhenren the most was that on the first day Wang Zhenren came, they were extremely excited to see Wang Zhenren.

It was a twisted excitement that didn't seem to come from a new cellmate, but one that could be bullied at will. Wu family.

Those outlaws have heard the rumors of Wang Zhenren.

They didn't care why Wang Zhenren came. What they care about is that Wang Zhenren looks weak and weak, and his body is weak, so he must be easy to bully.

These outlaws will never get out of this prison for almost their entire lives, so they have become friends with these jailers, and some of them are even more feared than these jailers, and they have a power of their own in the prison.

And Wang Zhenren was stunned, after he came, he only knew that he was holding the letter and crying silently.

Across a prison door, he thought that no one could take him. Even though he saw those outlaws, instinctively saw the malice in their eyes, and his first reaction was to be afraid, but he didn't take it seriously.

Until that day, when he was carrying the letter and weeping, he did not respond to the question of another outlaw.

He didn't expect that there would be such a person in this prison, the outlaw just beckoned, and the jade pawn next to him actually greeted him in a hurry, and took out the key in his hand to open two doors for the outlaw.

One is that person's door, and the other is the door on Wang Zhenren's side.

The man was extremely vicious. There was a scarred face across his face. Everyone usually calls him Brother Scar, this kind of unintentional thing, but they fell in love with Wang Zhenren, and their usual routine is to bully newcomers, make newcomers feel scared, and cry and shout to recognize them as the boss.

Most of these outlaws have twisted hearts. No blood, almost no letting go.

So when they saw Brother Scar walk into Wang Zhenren's room, they showed a bloody smile.

They knew that Wang Zhenren would definitely face a severe beating, even if this person could see the wind and steer the rudder, and recognized him as the boss in time, he would inevitably be beaten. Because Brother Scar's fun is to hit others.

"Boy, I'm talking to you, why don't you listen? Can't you hear me calling you? What are you holding in your hands? Let me see. I've been looking at you across the other side for days, what's there to see? ”

"How did your little lover write to you before she left? What makes you so obsessed? ”

Wang Zhenren looked at him warily and put the letter in his sleeve. Even in prison, he still has the style of a literati and stands straight, like a pine and cypress, and the elegance and calmness on his face are incompatible with this prison.

Brother Scar smiled cruelly. What he likes most is to hear people begging for mercy from him after beating someone.

Like Wang Zhenren, the reaction must be huge, and he is already looking forward to it in his heart.

"Will you show me? Is it so hard to read a letter from you? Do you know that my brother is the most likely person to protect you in this prison, if you don't show me, I won't be alone at that time, do you see that one over there? If you hadn't taken care of me, you would have come to your room and beat you up, do you think you would be able to stay in this prison for a few days? I'm telling you. When the newcomers arrived in this prison, they were severely beaten the next day. If I hadn't protected you, would you still be standing against me? ”

"Don't be ignorant, since I have protected you, you should listen to me. Show me that letter in your hand! ”

said that Scarface was going to slash over and snatch his letter, but Wang Zhenren was extremely fast, he rubbed the letter in his hand, and when Scarface approached, he quickly put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

Because the letter was puffed out of his cheeks, it showed the stubbornness in his eyes.

Scarface was instantly enraged, shouted violently, raised his hand, and slapped him hard under his face, and in an instant, a slap mark appeared on that face.

"Don't be ashamed!"

Scarface cursed as his fist rained down like lightning. Wang Zhenren was still standing at first, but he was quickly beaten and fell to the grass behind him.

He curled up to protect his head, and the inner abdomen was not injured, and Scarface's fist landed on his back and face.

At this moment, Wang Zhenren's face was suddenly blue, his face was swollen, purple and red, and he didn't look miserable, but his eyes still maintained a stubborn light, and he didn't mean to bow his head for half a minute, just looked straight at Scarface.

"Why do you look at me like that? Are you not convinced? If you're not convinced, stand up and fight me! Is Bibi your fist bigger, or my fist bigger? ”

But Wang Zhenren never said a word, nor did he fight back, just staring at him with those stubborn eyes.

Even though blood flowed from the corners of his lips and there was no good place on his face, those eyes were still bright and refused to lower his head.

Scarface was annoyed by the look he had. He almost wanted to kill him, but was stopped by the jailer next to him.

"Wait a minute, don't beat people to death."

"The county magistrate hasn't interrogated him yet, you're going to beat someone to death, how can I explain to the above?"

Scarface was stopped, and he smacked at Wang Zhenren, and then was reluctantly invited back to his room.

A few days later, as the jailer said, the county magistrate summoned Wang Zhenren.

That day. Outside the court stood many people. Among them, there are many familiar faces of Wang Zhenren, who once praised Wang Zhenren with full of goodwill for his knowledgeability and politeness. But now they looked at him with hostile eyes. It was as if he had really done something unreasonable to them.

"I've never hurt you......"

Wang Zhenren's voice was low, and in the middle of speaking, he swallowed the remaining half of the sentence, he knew that no one would listen.

He had explained it countless times before, but no one really listened, and no one cared about how he had done to them.

And when the common people saw the bruises and purple scars on Wang Zhenren's body, they shouted now that they were happy, and they wished to see a bad person who had done all the bad things punished.

Are those godlike rumors really done by Wang Zhenren? They don't know at all.

But it did not delay their indignant request for the county magistrate to dispose of Wang Zhenren as soon as possible.

The newly appointed county magistrate and new official took office three times, and his face was actually contemptuous of Wang Zhenren.

He took over the work of the previous county magistrate, and all he got were the files recorded by the previous county magistrate, so when he saw Wang Zhenren's records, he could hardly control his anger.

He had heard some rumors, but he also understood how easy it was to mislead others. But after he saw that almost all of the bad things on the file were done by Wang Zhenren, he was really angry.

How can a person be so bad? This is simply a heinous crime, let alone prison, even if he is thrown into hell, I am afraid it will be enough for him to endure for hundreds of years!

After reading the file with righteous indignation, the county magistrate went through the due process, and he began to ask Wang Zhenren if he had personally admitted to doing these things.

"No, I've never done these things, why should I admit it? All of these things are groundless, and I have never done any of them. ”

"Since I was born, I have been well upheld by my family, and they have told me to be innocent, kind, and sincere in my dealings with others. That's how I did, and I made countless friends over time. I have never been half-false to them, and I am sincere. As long as he said that he was in trouble, I did not hesitate to help him......"

"Bold! How dare you quibble! Clever words, strong words! The county commander was furious, slapped the shocking wood, pointed at Wang Zhenren and said to the guards next to him, "Not only is the crime extremely evil, but he even doesn't admit his guilt!" Still want to use rhetoric to quibble and confuse me? In the dossier, the evidence is conclusive, and the human and material evidence is there, what do you not recognize? Where you have been wronged, everything is clearly recorded. ”

Wang Zhenren closed his eyes and swallowed the abdominal manuscript that had been typed in the past few days back into his stomach.

He already knew what he was doing again, and these people wouldn't listen to it.

But what he didn't do, he just didn't admit his guilt. Even if the county order was used in court, he did not sign it.

Back and forth is a sentence of no confession. The county order can't do anything about him. After a stalemate for a long time, he was put back in prison.

The prefectural order intended to torture him in prison, and when he was unconscious, he was to sign and draw a picture of him.

In short, there is a lot of human and material evidence. Even if he denied it, he was only quibbling. This matter is over early, and it's good for everyone.

He has just taken office now, if he can't even judge a case, the people should think how incompetent he is, no, he must close the case quickly!

Thinking like this, the county magistrate hurriedly ordered to go down and let Wang Zhenren confess his guilt as soon as possible.

Confession is easy to say. I don't care much about life or death.

Needless to say, the jailers knew this truth, so in the death penalty prison, the sound of punishment was heard from time to time. A soldering iron is attached to the body. Zizi sounded, and Wang Zhenren let out a few screams. But the mouth was tightly closed and did not confess.

"Do you plead guilty or not? Wang Zhenren, the sooner you confess, you can also receive some punishments as soon as possible. We don't have to worry about you. ”

The jailer pulled out the paperwork he had prepared earlier. As long as Wang Zhenren pressed his handprint, then the case would be closed.

"I didn't ......" Wang Zhenren's lips were pale, and his body was full of large and small scars, the scars that were hit by the scar face some time ago had not healed, and now he had been punished so much, his body was almost at the end of the crossbow. But he still didn't confess his guilt, and there was only one sentence back and forth that I didn't.

This made the jailers angry.

It was just one night, and Wang Zhenren was almost tortured to death by them. And the prefectural order also sent an order to urge.

"Don't ask him properly, when he faints, why don't you just cover it with his index finger? Such a simple thing, after doing it for so many years, I still don't know. ”
