The cell boss struck a cell door with a stick, shaking it violently.

He shouted loudly: "Are you underwhelmed? Open your mouth and talk nonsense, what's the matter, you think there are too many teeth in your mouth? You are all imprisoned only because of conclusive evidence, who wants to cause trouble, blame the official for being merciless with the sticks in his hands, and knocking out your teeth!"

The shouting of grievances suddenly became much softer, and some people pouted and stopped talking.

Wang Qilin watched coldly.

He has been to many prisons, from the small prison in the village to the big prison in Jingzhao Mansion in Chang'an City, and it is true that as long as a new official enters it, there will be many prisoners who will scream and cry out for injustice.

Officials with a little experience will not pay attention to their voices, the first is that there are many prisoners who are habitual offenders, these people are very slippery, and they are the most good at finding trouble.

On the second day, among all the officials who presided over the prison, one was counted as one, and none of them could be completely impartial and selfless, and judge the case like a god.

Therefore, what can we do when we hear someone crying out for injustice? We can only assume that we have not heard it, otherwise we will not have the ability to repay the innocence of all the wronged criminals, and we will not be able to offend the local presiding judge, and it will be useless to take on the case.

Wang Qilin understands these truths, he is no longer a rookie in officialdom.

Xie Toad understood this truth even more, and he said in a low voice: "Seventh Master, Xu Ye's safety is important, what are we going to do in this prison now?"

Wang Qilin said: "I have my own arrangements. ”

The cell boss saluted him respectfully and said, "Lord Wang, please don't be deceived by these cheap and rotten things, every prisoner goes to prison and shouts injustice, but the person who was killed by them is really wronged!"

"The people here are all sent to prison after detailed examination, and the people of this county love the people like children, and they will never create unjust prisons. ”

Xiang Guoguang cried and knelt down and said: "But the villain is wronged, the villain is wronged!"

The cell boss sneered: "You have been wronged? Xiang Guoguang, you have lost all your money to the Xiang family, you are angry with your father, you have wronged your mother, even if you are killed, you will not be wronged!"

"You said you were wronged, okay, then did you repay the money you borrowed from the Qiao family?"

"I returned it, and the villain really gave it back to him. Xiang Guoguang shouted.

The cell boss shouted: "You are talking nonsense, why is the IOU still in Qiao's house?"

Xiang Guoguang cried and said: "My Xiang family and Qiao's family are world friends, I Xiang Guoguang and Qiao Zhenying are godbrothers who have handed over the post, and the villain can trust him, so after repaying the money, he wants to give the villain an IOU, and the villain doesn't ask for it?" The villain directly let him tear things up. ”

"But who knows, who knows that he didn't tear it off, no, no, no, he tore it off in front of me? Tear up the IOU that isn't signed by the villain? He must have found a piece of paper and tore it up!"

"The villain was wronged! did the villain really give him the 200 silver baht? The villain was made up by selling land and livestock!"

The cell boss looked at him in disgust and said, "Shut up, it's true that you have collected two hundred silver baht, but where did the two hundred silver baht go?

"The gambling house shopkeeper Lu Yuan has come to testify? You lost two hundred and twenty silver baht to him in one night? He gave him 200 silver baht and wrote an IOU that owed him 20 silver baht. ”

Xiang Guoguang cried: "No, no, Nie Tou, you are a wronged villain." ”

"The villain sold his field and went to the gambling house, right? Is it true that you owe Lu Ye twenty silver baht? But you didn't owe him a hundred silver baht or two hundred? Didn't owe him two hundred silver baht, did you? Didn't lose him two hundred silver baht!"

The more he talked, the more messy it became? In the end, I cried in vain.

At this time, Chang Heli also came to the men's prison? He hurriedly walked in and asked in surprise, "Why are you all at the door?"

As soon as the cell boss told him about the situation, Chang Heli frowned and looked at Xiang Guoguang, Xiang Guoguang stepped back, and got into a mess of thatch and cried.

Wang Qilin took a deep look at him? Continue to go to prison.

Chang Heli, this county is obviously very majestic? As soon as he showed up? The prisoners in the cell are not chirping and tossing crookedly? They all honestly went back to bed.

Wang Qilin walked inside and quickly found the target.

He stood in front of Gao Liang, the official he had sent to the cell before, and Gao Liang was clean and clean? It's still breezy and calm.

The cell boss and the jailer must have taken good care of him, his cell was the cleanest and most tidy, with a mattress and a thin quilt on the wooden bed, and books and chopsticks on the table, among which there was a leftover chicken leg in the bowl, and it was evident that the food was good.

Seeing the arrival of several people, Gao Liang put down the book and brushed his beard, slowly walked over and knelt down, and said, "My lords, my humble duty is wronged. ”

Wang Qilin looked at him with interest and asked, "You are also wronged?"

Gao Liang smiled bitterly: "There is a big grievance in the humble position, please be sure to be aware of the incidents of yesterday, and the humble position was also blinded." ”

Wang Qilin said: "Don't talk nonsense, the merchant surnamed Xue has already confessed, that is, after you learned that the Chen family had fifty silver baht, you saw the wealth and planned to frame the Chen family!"

He looked at Chang Heli again and said, "Yes or no, Master Chang?"

Chang Heli sighed lightly and said: "Gao Liang, why are you still a dead duck with a hard mouth until now?" The cloth merchant surnamed Xue has already admitted that there is a problem in his business and he can't turn around, but I don't know how I know the news, so you went to him, set this trap with him, and promised to divide him with twenty silver baht after the matter is completed. ”

Gao Liang closed his eyes sadly and said angrily, "Master Chang, did he really say that?"

"Not bad!"

"This is slander!" Gao Liang said angrily, "It was he who knew that the Chen family had fifty silver baht hidden in his house, and came to find a lowly position and set this trap!"

Chang Heli said disappointedly: "Anyway, you are involved in this case!"

Gao Liang smiled bitterly, revealing shame: "The lowly position disappointed Master Chang, the lowly position did involve this case, but the trap was indeed not dominated by the lowly position, it was a trap set by Xue Baocai." ”

"Your Excellency knows that the humble position is just a soap subordinate, how can you know how much money is hidden in the house of a weaver?"

"It was Xue Bao who knew everything, he was a cloth merchant, he privately asked the weaver Chen to receive the cloth, and coincidentally saw that she had silver baht at home, so he was greedy!"

Chang Heli nodded and said to Wang Qilin: "Lord Wang, this should be true. ”

Gao Liang smiled bitterly: "Now that the matter is over, what is there to hide and lie about?"

Wang Qilin looked at him deadly, and he calmly looked back at each other.

Chang Heli said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, this Gao Liang's words are extremely true, how can he know the family savings of a weaver as a soap subordinate? and Xue Bao is a cloth merchant, and he has a lot of dealings with weavers on weekdays, and the matter should be his mastermind." ”

Wang Qilin was still staring at Gao Liang.

After a long time, he said slowly: "This official came to see Gao Liang in prison today, not to frame Chen's case. ”

Chang Heli and Gao Liang were both surprised.

"Uh, you're not here for yesterday's case?" Chang Heli was dazed, "Then what are you doing here to find Gao Liang?"

Wang Qilin said: "Of course, this official is not for yesterday's case, and this official did not say that he came for yesterday's case, everything is just your speculation." ”

"The reason why this official came to Gao Liang today is because someone told him that the person who assassinated him in the restaurant yesterday was Gao Liang! Gao Liang once assassinated this official!"

As soon as these words came out, people inside and outside the prison were stunned.

Chang Heli subconsciously asked, "What did you say, Lord Wang?"

Wang Qilin said: "Yesterday at noon, you had a banquet for the official, and when the official went to the latrine, someone attacked him, but the official was skilled, and he found that he was defeated, so he went into the pit to dig a hole and escaped. ”

Chang Heli was stunned when he heard it.

Gao Liang blinked blankly, took a step forward and shouted, "If Lord Wang wants to punish the lowly position, why should he wrongfully punish the lowly position?"

Wang Qilin said coldly: "When did this official wronged you? Why, you didn't assassinate this official yesterday?"

Gao Liang shouted: "Lord Wang was not assassinated at all yesterday!"

Wang Qilin looked at him with interest and said, "How do you know?"

Gao Liang said: "Lord Wang is the bronze captain of the Heavenly Prison and the head of the Guanfeng Guard, if you were assassinated, the jailers in the prison would have discussed it a long time ago, but no one discussed it at all, how could you be assassinated?"

"Even if the adult is assassinated at noon, it has nothing to do with the lowly position, the lowly position was locked in prison yesterday morning, so how can the lowly position assassinate you?"

Wang Qilin smiled slightly and said, "How do you know that the reason why no one discussed the case is because the news has been suppressed by the official?"

"How do you know that in fact, the jailer already knows the facts of the case, and someone even secretly went to tell the official that you left this prison yesterday?"

Gao Liang laughed and said: "This is even more slander, please be aware of it, the humble man did not leave this cell yesterday, you can ask all the jailer brothers, and you can also ask the prisoners here!"

"Humble duty may be able to bribe the jailer to release the humble position, but it can't bribe all the prisoners, right?"

"Besides, how can any brother jailer let out a sinner who is lowly in his position? Are they not afraid of running away from his position? Can they afford the great crime of letting a prisoner out of his own way?"

Chang Heli couldn't help but say: "Lord Wang, the most important thing is that you are known to be a famous rising star in the Heavenly Prison, with superb cultivation and skill, this Gao Liang, he is an ordinary soap, how could he assassinate you?"

As he spoke, he shook his head: "It's unreasonable, it's impossible." ”

Gao Liang also said: "Yes, Lord Wang, I have never practiced martial arts since I was a child, I don't know any kung fu and I have no cultivation, so how can I assassinate you? Even if I dare to assassinate you, how can I escape from you?"

Wang Qilin shook his head at Fat Wuyi, and Fat Wuyi pulled out his waist knife and slashed at Gao Liang through the fence.

The fact that the Qing clan is not good at fighting does not mean that they are the five scum of war, and their cultivation is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people.

Especially the males, after turning into humans, began to practice martial arts, and they all liked to dance with guns and sticks.

The speed of this knife was extremely fast, and the blade had already appeared on Gao Liang's neck in a flash.

It wasn't until the blade broke through Gao Liang's skin that Gao Liang stepped back with a scream.

Fat Wuyi put away the knife, he took it back and shook his head at Wang Qilin.

This person has no cultivation, otherwise he wouldn't have even reacted under his sword.

Wang Qilin sneered: "I really know how to act." ”

Xie Toad shook his head and said: "Immeasurable Tianzun, Seventh Master, he shouldn't be acting, now he is a criminal with conclusive evidence, Fat Wuyi is out of the knife, he doesn't dare to bet that this is a temptation, because we Guanfeng Wei cut him in vain." ”

Wang Qilin snorted and strode away with his hands behind his back.

Xiang Guoguang in the front cell kowtowed and said weakly: "Adults, adults, villains are good gamblers, the villain is angry and his father didn't save his mother, the villain should die, but the villain doesn't owe money and doesn't pay it back...... No, no, wronged......"

Wang Qilin stared at him and said, "Gambling on dogs is not good to die." ”

Xiang Guoguang kowtowed and never raised his head again, hugging a pile of thatch and crying.

Tranquility gradually returned to the cell.

Night falls.

The cells were even darker.

Only the beginning and the end of the passage had an oil lamp lit on the wall, and the wick was slowly swaying by the spring breeze, and there was no light, only a little dim light flickering and flickering.

The jailer carried the rancid rice bucket and divided the meal, and someone muttered, "No, Brother Xian, it's rancid rice again?

"Hey, yes, I have a chicken wing here. ”

"I have half a crucian carp here, Lao Ran, don't you like to eat fish?

"Okay, changed. ”

Two cells apart each stretched out a hand, and after they changed things, they immediately scolded together:

"Lao Ran, don't you have chicken wings?

"You don't even care about dogs, hey, you're half a crucian carp? You stuff this is a crucian carp head! Crunch, well, crucian carp head tastes good. ”

"Quack, hehe, this chicken bone is also a little fragrant, and there is bone marrow in it, yes, this deal is not a loss." ”

After the jailer had turned around, a gust of wind blew in, and the oil lamps in front and back flickered violently and then went out.

He shook his head, went out in the dark, and came in in the dark, opened the door of Gao Liangfang, and handed in a roast chicken.

Suddenly, someone coveted and shouted: "I smell it, I smell it, I smell it, it's a roast chicken, Boss Gao eats roast chicken again! Boss Gao, you give me a chicken butt ......."

Gao Liang took the roast chicken and threw the chicken butt to the opposite side, and threw the chicken head next door, and the prisoners on both sides immediately thanked him happily.

The sound of gobbling up and chewing rang out with the sound of Gao Liang's mouth, and suddenly there was a coughing sound in the cell, followed by a coughing sound.

At this moment, Gao Liang slammed into the fence, stretched out his hand and shouted, "Help, save me...... I'm ......"

He threw himself in the cell, banging and rolling on the door, and finally fell to the ground holding the door.

Outside the cell door, there was something vomiting on his face.

The prisoners in the next cell were also banging on the door, and then the prisoners opposite them began to cough violently with their chests in their arms.

There was chaos in the prison, and the prisoners screamed, some yelled, 'Dinner is poisonous,' and some knelt on the ground and began to pout their throats.

Someone came in from outside and shouted: "Shut up, listen to the heavenly supervisor handle the case, and the idle people will roll to the corner!"

Someone else shouted: "If you want to live, close your eyes and cover your ears, and you should not know what happened tonight, and you should be treated as if you did not see or hear anything, otherwise you will be sent to the ground together!"

Silence quickly returned to the cell, except for a man in the cell coughing in pain.

A man with a torch whispered, "Deal with him." ”

The man next to him opened the cell door and entered, the knife light shone in the firelight, the sound of the knife entering the flesh sounded, and the sound of coughing in the cell suddenly weakened and gradually died down.

The man who came out shook his knife, and there were more beads of blood on the ground.

The man holding the torch said with a cold face: "Old ape, why are you still so murderous? Stun him, why do you have to use a knife? Anyway, he will be poisoned sooner or later." ”

The old ape said angrily: "Okay, it's wrong for Lao Tzu to use the knife, right? Then you will chop off the head of this dead eunuch later, grandma, Lao Tzu will not use the knife anyway, just so as not to dirty Lao Tzu's hands." ”

The man said unhappily: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, you quickly cut off his head and go to the errand, I will put Gu on him, is it reliable for Wu Wu to give me this hungry ghost Gu?

There was a click in the prison, and it was the teeth chattering.

The man with the torch opened the cell door, and the old ape threw the knife at him and sneered: "Uncle can't say that if you can't use the knife, you won't be able to use the knife, you can come by yourself." ”

The man slapped the knife away and said with a calm face: "You want to find something?"

He stood in the open door of the cell, slapped out, and the knife fell to the ground and fell into the cell.

The old ape stiffened his neck and said, "Who told you to talk about me just now?"

The man snorted, threw the torch to him and walked to the prison, bent down and grabbed the knife and said, "Old ape, you wait......"

said that it was too late, and then quickly, Gao Liang, who pulled the cell door and was taken to the aisle as the cell door opened, rose up!

He kicked out and closed the cell door, slapped his palms on the ground like a raptor going out to sea, and rushed to the opposite cell door with a vigorous posture, grabbing the wooden fence and fleeing along the cage as fast as possible.

The white ape screamed and turned to chase after him, but he stepped out and suddenly screamed: "Damn, what is this that cut Lao Tzu's arm? Don't run, tiger, there's something in front!"

Gao Liang's speed was as fast as the wind, and after stopping the two people behind him, he slapped on a prison door and landed, bent down and rushed to the door as fast as he could, raised his foot and kicked the door to open the door to return to the sea and the tiger to the mountains and forests.

As soon as the door opened, a waist knife flew up.

Gao Liang waved his hand, two silk threads flew out, wrapped around his waist knife, and threw it away at will, he kicked sideways on the door panel, and flew into the air with the help of this reaction force-

At this time, his vision was bright, and outside the prison there was a circle of officials holding torches and lanterns, Wang Qilin standing in front, and on both sides were all fierce generals listening to the heavenly prison.

An iron fist slammed into the air from top to bottom, the night wind shattered, and the whistling sound rolled.

Gao Liang knew that he was invincible, so he had to twist his waist in embarrassment and throw himself to the ground, and dodged the swinging iron fist several times in a row, so as to escape the fate of being blasted by a punch.

He stood up again, and five swords appeared above his head.

Wang Qilin shouted: "Gao Liang, you still say that you don't know martial arts?"

Gao Liang looked around and saw the shocked faces of Chang Heli and a circle of officials.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Everything is Lord Wang's plan? Lord Wang is worthy of listening to the young dragon of the Heavenly Prison, and the future is limitless." ”

As he spoke, he quickly shook his head: "But Lord Wang is really ruthless, in order to set this trap, he actually poisoned two innocent people and cut the throat of one of them. ”

"Listen to the heavenly prison and act, there is really no taboo!"

As soon as his words fell, two more people came out of the cell door, each dragging a person in his hand, and when he came out, he threw them on the ground, and immediately someone came up to pour water and medicine on them.

The white ape scolded and scolded: "What a big yin, what kind of weapon do you use? Lao Tzu rushed forward and was almost dismembered on the spot! Fortunately, Master Ape I brought a little pig in, and this pig can be regarded as blocking the disaster for me!"

He was covered in blood all over his chest, and he carried a piglet whose body had been almost cut in two.

Wang Qilin pointed at the piglet with his finger and sneered: "Fool, it was this piglet who was cut throat." ”

Swallowed his mouth and whispered: "This piglet is so pitiful, alas, at a young age......"

Shen Yi said with a smile: "Amitabha, the seventh master said that the piglets will be made into roast suckling pigs later, and tonight's supper has fallen." ”

Swallowing was stunned, and then whispered: "This time it's my turn to eat pig ears!"

Chang Heli exclaimed: "Gao Liang, do you really know martial arts? Are you still a martial arts master? Then you really assassinated Lord Wang?"

Gao Liang categorically denied it: "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, ...... lowly job"

"It's all here, what are you still denying it?" Wang Qilin said impatiently, "Do you want the official to tell your true identity? Hmm, do you want to force the official to tell the reason why you assassinated the official?"

Gao Liang's cheeks twitched twice, and he said in a deep voice: "What Lord Wang said, this official doesn't know anything!"

Wang Qilin smiled coldly: "Maybe the smiling girl knows something, hehe, such a beautiful woman, after entering my heavenly prison and hell in the future, oops, a delicate flower, tsk." ”

Gao Liang looked at him in horror and shouted, "How do you know? How can you know these things?"

Wang Qilin said: "If people don't know what to do unless they do it, Master Gao, you planted it." How about it, do you take the initiative to go with the official? Or do you want the official to reveal everything here, and then you wait to be killed and then see the smiling girl being tossed into a skeleton?"

Gao Liang laughed, his face full of loneliness.

Wang Qilin nodded to Xiang Peihu behind him and said, "Lord Xiang, tell Lord Gao what happened to the girls in our prison." ”

Xiang Peihu said coldly: "There is an Oiran named Yingyin in Shangyuan Mansion, she is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and after being sent to the underworld, the valley road was broken and died, and after her death, she was used to raise Gu worms, and after the Gu worms hatched, the wreckage was used to hatch a little ghost......

Wang Qilin hurriedly pressed down his palm, the groove is too ruthless, let's listen to the heavenly prison Isn't it a positive hero image who protects the people and expels evil spirits?

Xiang Peihu said: "I don't want to say more about the rest, for fear that you will have nightmares at night if you say it." ”

A group of officials bowed their heads and trembled: Thank you, the eighth generation ancestor, do you think that we will not have nightmares after hearing these words?

Gao Liang said: "Okay, one person does things and one person is responsible, and I Gao admit it." But I want to make it clear that I didn't think about killing Lord Wang yesterday, because I knew I didn't have that skill, and I just wanted to ...... at that time."

"You just want to get some injuries on my body, and then go to ask for credit, to show your ability, so that you can be promoted to Zhending Mansion because of this, right?" Wang Qilin said.

Gao Liang subconsciously took a step back, he looked at Wang Qilin like a ghost: "How are you, how are you ......?"

"Worthy of the name! Worthy of the name!!Worthy of the name!!"

He said it three times in a row, and his tone became heavier and heavier.
