Chapter 143: Suffering and suffering

Let's say that Cen Du was crazy all the way, and rushed out of the city gate in a rampage, and the two gatekeepers who were leaning on the city gate were idle, and when they saw this, they were stunned at first, and then laughed, and the person on the left pointed to Cen Du's back and scolded with a smile: "In these years, there are really many crazy people." The doorman on the right also laughed back and forth, and the two teased again, the doorman on the right looked at the back of Cen Dusk who was getting farther and farther away, and suddenly saw that his body was stained with blood, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly patted the colleague next to him who was still laughing and said: "Hey, hey, don't laugh, look at that kid, there seems to be blood!"

The doorman on the left also squinted his eyes for a while, and then he knew that this matter was not simple, so he instructed his colleagues: "You hurry up and follow forward, keep an eye on that kid, and I will immediately report to the lord!" The two acted separately, one followed Cen Du quickly, and the other ran back to the palace to return.

Who knew that the doorman just passed by the inn in the south of the city, he was sweating profusely, panicked, from the inn rushed out of the shopkeeper hit a person on his back and turned over, the two fell to the ground together, the doorman and the shopkeeper grinned in pain, passers-by snickered when they saw this, and talked about it, but they were afraid of causing trouble, so they left in a hurry, and did not dare to watch.

The doorman endured the severe pain and rubbed his buttocks to stand up, anxious and angry, angry, stepped forward, grabbed the collar of the cabinet and lifted it up, and scolded angrily: "Dare to rush me, you have eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard gall!?" The cabinet loader begged for mercy again and again, his legs trembled weakly, and he almost cried out in public.

"Master Jun, Master Jun, the little one has eyes and no beads and collided with the military master, the little one should be damned, the little one should be damned!" The shopkeeper slapped himself several times in a hurry, and almost knelt down and begged for mercy. The doorman thought in his heart, it was inconvenient to make trouble in the street, and there was something important to do, so he loosened the collar of the shopkeeper, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wang, what happened, so panicked, are you in a hurry to go to the grave, or are you in a hurry to reincarnate!?"

The hard-working shopkeeper waved his hand again and again, pointed to the inn, and explained in a trembling voice: "Master Jun, take a look, my inn has really suffered a disaster! The guest room, the guest room is ......" The doorman returned to the palace in a hurry, and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, let it go, if you are here again, don't blame me for turning my face!" But the shopkeeper Wang was afraid that if this matter was spread outside, his store would have a bad reputation, and he would not want to open it. Then he leaned into the doorman's ear and whispered for a while, the doorman's face became worse and worse, his eyebrows were entangled together, and his face was gloomy as if he could wring out a few taels of water.

As soon as the shopkeeper had finished speaking, the doorman hurried into the inn, and the shopkeeper followed closely with his robe and small steps.

Let's say that Cen went out of the city in a faint way, and trotted all the way into the forest road not far from the south of the city, and there happened to be some scattered stalls on the side of the road, what kind of noodle soup, baked cakes, steamed buns, tea, and wine are all available. Cen looked at the snow-white meat bun that had just come out of the cage and was still steaming, and saliva involuntarily fell from the corners of his mouth. He didn't know how many days and nights he had been asleep, but he felt that he had not eaten water and rice for a few days, and he was hungry in his stomach, so he touched his empty belly and licked his chapped lips.

After a night of heavy rain, although the sun was shining, it was not much warmer, and it would be wonderful to have a steamed bun or two at this moment. Dressed in thin clothes, he was hunched and stood in the cold wind. Under the pressure of hunger and cold, Cen Duan couldn't estimate any face, looked left and right, saw that passers-by were in a hurry, and the people who were resting didn't care about him, so he took advantage of the little second brother of the bun stall to turn around to clean up the utensils, stepped forward quickly, grabbed two buns and put them in his arms, spread his legs and ran.

It happened that the guests drinking tea next door saw this scene, so they put down the hot tea bowl and shouted with a smile: "Hey, Er Niu, your bun is gone, your bun is gone!" As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding guests laughed, and Niu Er felt strange when he heard the words, just thinking that the guest was playing him, and he didn't care much at first, turned around and glanced at the cage drawer that he had just opened, and sure enough, there were two meat buns missing. Seeing that Na Cen faint turned back while fleeing, he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and hurriedly kicked three or four beggars squatting on the side of the road, and scolded: "It's not a loss to chase after you!

Those beggars wandered outside this Yueqiu Mansion all day long, and they all became familiar faces. Sometimes Niu Er's buns can't be sold, no matter the meat of the dish, he will give alms to these beggars to accumulate some merit. These beggars are not idle people, for Niu Er's usual favors, they are also thinking about repaying, today I saw Cen faint snatched the bun, did not react for a while, Niu Er urged, the four of them hurriedly got up, holding a broken bowl, holding a bamboo pole to chase, one of them even whistled, attracted a skinny wild dog, together to hunt Cen Du.

Cen was hungry in a faint stomach, but he couldn't do anything in vain, he kept looking back, and saw the four beggars and a vicious dog chasing after him with hideous faces, so he couldn't care less, and stuffed the meat bag into his mouth indiscriminately in the middle of the madness, which was not to eat at all, but to swallow, and his face was full of gravy and dregs, and he was choked, and hiccups again and again, so that he was full of green tendons and sweating. He stumbled on his feet, threw himself forward and fell to the ground, and the unfinished half of the bun in his hand flew out.

The wild dog took advantage of the opportunity to pounce, frantically tore at his calf, ripped open the thin trouser tube, and began to gnaw on the flesh of his leg again. The four beggars also rushed forward to surround him, the bamboo pole in his hand split his head and covered his face like rain, Cen Du did not resist, but buried his face in the soil, trembling all over, curled up, and his ten fingers were also deeply immersed in the cold mud, and soon the clothes behind Cen Du's back were soaked with blood, which was unbearable.

Niu Er, the owner of the bun stall, also followed out breathlessly, still holding a bright razor in his hand, which was extremely sharp. Pushing the beggar away, seeing that Cen Du had no movement, half-dead, he put down the knife, kicked him angrily, urged him to spit again, and scolded loudly: "Phew, the little thief who doesn't have long eyes, really dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head? Don't go to inquire, you dare to steal the head of your second grandfather Niu, if you don't chop off your right hand today to give your kid a long memory, why won't Lao Tzu have a long surname!"

After saying that, he was about to do it, and suddenly heard a shout behind him, and the five of them looked back together, only to see a city gate official running quickly, and the four beggars panicked, and hurriedly dissuaded Niu Erdao: "Second Brother Niu, don't be really angry for such a thief, the two buns will not cause trouble, our brother has already taught him a lesson for you, the military master came for some reason, let's hurry up!"

Niu Er also knew the seriousness of it, and there was no need to sue for the life of this guy, so he spat again, and the four beggars also spit on him, and the five of them fled in a hurry. When the city gatekeeper caught up, the five people had already run away without a trace, the city gatekeeper looked up, sighed, and kicked away the wild dog that did not know death, and looked down at the tragic situation of Cen Dusk: covered with blood, there was no good meat on his back, and his left calf had been forcibly removed by the wild dog.

"You, you, you, you really don't die. Why bother to provoke the thief who killed that day, the plague god who suffered from the plague?" the city gate official laughed bitterly and teased, and suddenly saw Cen Du convulsive, startling him to take half a step back. Na Cen slowly raised his head, his left leg was injured, and he couldn't stand up, but he crawled forward with his arms for a while, and picked up half of the bun that had already broken into slag, mixed with a lot of dust and dirt, and still stuffed it into his mouth. Unconsciously, two lines of hot tears rolled down from his eyes, and blood fell into the mud.

The city gatekeeper was startled by Cen Du's reaction, and was stunned and at a loss. Then he heard someone calling out to him not far away, and looked up. I saw that his colleague doorman was galloping towards him quickly, and when he arrived at Cen Duan's place, he hurriedly reined in his horse, glanced at Cen Du, who was like a dog, and said to the colleague standing aside: "Lao Zhang, fortunately, you caught up with this kid." Gotta save his life. ”

The one who was called Lao Zhang asked with a smile: "Don't worry, Lao Yang, this kid, his life is hard." Seeing Lao Xu's serious expression, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?" Lao Yang explained: "This person was involved in two murder cases in the Chengnan Inn, and on the order of Lord Yin, the suspect was arrested and interrogated. Lao Zhang nodded, but looking at Cen Duan, he made another difficulty: "But this kid's left leg is almost crippled, I'm afraid he won't be able to walk." ”

"What's so difficult about this?" Lao Xu shook the iron chain with the thickness of his fingers, and said, "Tie this kid with an iron chain and drag him back to the mansion! Lord Fu Yin urgently ordered, don't delay!" The two hurriedly moved, locked Cen Du's hands with iron chains, and held them in their hands, as if they were leading a half-dead wild dog, regardless of Cen Duan's life or death, they dragged him back to the mansion in full view of everyone.

And Lord Yin Wen Rusong of Yueqiu Mansion is an old man who is nearly sixty years old, and he has been in power in Yueqiu Mansion for many years, and his reputation is neither good nor bad. Cen Duan was directly put into the death row dungeon, and did not go to the court for interrogation as usual, and was sentenced for questioning and sentencing, and the Wen Rusong was dressed in official robes, with his hands behind his back, and leaned over, surrounded by a group of officials and guards, and came to the heavily guarded death row cell.

After the jailers saluted, they opened the cell and invited Master Wen to enter for interrogation. Cen Du was tied to a wooden stake, his hands and feet were tied by iron cables, and he couldn't move, and when he saw a man dressed in the official robe of the governor approaching, he slowly raised his unkempt head, and asked with a strong breath: "Why haven't you been interrogated and sentenced to me!?"
