Chapter 66: Brother and Sister Run
"Haha, brag about you!"
The old man next door laughed mercilessly.
Xu Ling disagreed, since he was determined to do it, he would definitely try his best.
He didn't care about the old man's ridicule at all, and continued yesterday's conversation, asking about the old man's experience.
chatted and learned that the old man's name was Fang Shiqing, and he was originally a scholar. After studying for decades, he only took the exam for a show, and then failed year after year.
He is a man of limited ability, bad luck, and a bad fate, and he has been frustrated and depressed for many years, and his heart is unsettled.
Who knew that there was a classmate party, he was drunk and fell asleep, but when he woke up, he heard his classmates talking about the list.
It turned out that they were on the list, but their families spent money to buy the examiner to get the answer in advance.
Pity him only has sage books, and his ears don't listen to things outside the window, and the old mother and wife of the family keep weaving around the clock in order to make him read a way, and end up blind and die early.
He also said that God was unfair.
Unexpectedly, it was the chaos of the imperial court.
He woke up and yelled at his classmates, intending to report it, and then he was put on death row in the dark.
"If you calculate carefully, the old man should have been locked up here for seventeen years!"
Xu Ling looked sympathetic.
He originally thought that the old man was cynical and must have been convicted for his words, but he didn't expect that it was also because of his naivety that he would expose other people's faces in public.
Everyone has become an official, just you are innocent, and you are still clamoring to report others, who will you arrest if you don't arrest you?
It may be that years of prison life have made the old man sober, but it reminded Xu Linglai.
The two of them whispered here, and the strong man in the cell opposite suddenly burst into laughter.
Xu Ling and the two looked over, and the man turned over, and the snoring was still there.
"Senior, how did he get in prison?" Xu Ling asked in a low voice.
Fang Shiqing shook his head solemnly, "Most of the ghosts in this prison are unjustly killed, except for him. He was arrested for killing more than a dozen people in a row, and he was going to be beheaded later. β
After that, his face was as secretive as a deep.
Xu Ling's eyes widened, he looked at the back figure opposite, and silently shifted his gaze.
Kill the gods.
I can't afford to offend.
Outside the prison.
Xu Ling was arrested early in the morning, Xu Ping and Xu An wanted to catch up when they reacted, but they were stopped by the tooth line Xiaoqi by the collar.
Xu Ping Xu An knew that he brought people in, punching and kicking with teeth.
Sui Qi endured the pain and held down the two pimply children, and said loudly: "If you catch up, I am afraid that you will be put in prison with your eldest brother, who will save you at that time?" It's better to think of a way to call someone in your family to come to the rescue! β
Xu An cried, "My eldest brother, my eldest brother was wronged!" β
Then, he told Sui Qi about what happened yesterday, from Wang Zhu doing the game to Liu Niang letting them go without permission.
"Liu Niang was fine when we left, how could it be that the eldest brother killed her! It must be Wang Zhu's bad deeds, and my eldest brother is to blame! β
Xu Ping's brain is not as fast as his sister's, but he also knows that Sui Qi, who was kind enough to stop them, knows more than them, and knelt on the ground with a "plop" and shouted: "Big brother, please, you can help come up with ideas to save my brother!" β
Sui Qi really gave the two children an idea. The county magistrate of Lingbao Town, he is greedy for money, and the people here know that if he gets into a lawsuit, it is best to settle it with money.
As long as you have enough money, you will not have a problem committing any big case.
The two of them are too young, and they will not be taken seriously if they want to find the county master through the back door, so it is better to go back to their hometown and call the adults to come.
Xu Ping and Xu An listened to it, but if the brother and sister went back to their hometown together, what if the brother needed them?
Xu Ping said: "I'm my brother, or I'm safe to go home and find someone, it's inconvenient for you to be a girl." β
Xu An said angrily: "You go back, do you remember the way?" β
"This ......" Xu Ping was dumbfounded, he really didn't remember how he came from Lotus Bay.
Xu An was categorical, "You stay here and wait for the news of the eldest brother, the eldest brother is so smart, he will definitely find a way to ask someone to find the two of us, and when you are free, you will find a way to sell the things at home, make up more money, and I will go home to find someone!" β
"Then you know the way?" Xu Ping looked suspicious, and he didn't worry about his sister going back alone.
Xu An raised his chin and rolled his eyes, "I'm smarter than you, can I still lose myself?" β
Although they are twin brothers and sisters, Xu Ping is still a boy, but Xu An is indeed the more clever and intelligent one.
Usually when two people do bad things, Xu An has bad ideas, and Xu Ping practices them.
At this time, for the sake of Xu Ling's safety, the brother and sister quickly decided what to do.
Xu Ling left them the money before he went out, and he didn't get it back when he came back.
Xu An only left a hundred Wen with him, and gave the rest to Xu Ping.
She changed out of the new clothes that her eldest brother bought for her, put on the old clothes, and did not forget to put some dirt on her face.
After a while, a dirty and dusty tomboy appeared in front of Xu Ping.
No one could tell that this little boy was a little girl.
Xu Ping sent Xu An to the dock to take a boat, "Xu An, you should pay attention to safety on the road!" β
"Second brother, you must find a way to see the eldest brother!"
The two children have been separated for the first time since they grew up.
It wasn't until Jiang Shui sent the big boat away and couldn't see each other's figures that Xu Ping took a deep breath, thought of what his sister said, and ran home.
On the third day of Xu Ling's imprisonment, Xu Ping bought the jailer who came to him and was successfully taken to the prison to visit Xu Ling.
As soon as he saw Xu Ling, Xu Ping's voice was full of tears.
"Big brother, you've lost weight!"
However, after three days of hard work, Xu Ling's beard was unshaven, and he lost weight again, and his spirit looked quite vibrant.
When Xu Ling saw his younger brother, he hurriedly asked, "Why did you come in?" What about Xu An? β
Xu Ping wiped his tears and told Xu Ling Xu An to go home and find someone, he stayed here and sold a lot of pears at home, but only in exchange for a few hundred dollars.
The jailer whom Xu Ling had bought off found him and told him that he was going back to find someone, so he gave the money to the jailer and asked him to bring him to see Xu Ling.
Xu Ping said, and took out the donkey meatloaf that was still hot from his arms, and there were six of them.
"Big brother, are you hungry? Eat hot. β
Xu Ling looked at his younger brother, his heart was extremely sour, and he burst into tears for a while.
If he wasn't arrogant and naΓ―ve, how could he get involved in this kind of right and wrong and drag down his family in vain?
Xu Ling turned his back and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
"Big Brother ......"
Finally relieving himself, Xu Ling choked up and talked to him for a moment, and the jailer urged impatiently.
"Are you done? Let's get out of here! β
Xu Ping reluctantly said goodbye to Xu Ling, "Big brother, don't worry, we will definitely save you!" β
