In the hall of the county government, in the middle sat the lean county lord, the county official's surname is Pang, and he is honest and upright. I only heard the huge old man's startled crackling, and suddenly the hall was silent, and said slowly: "Although this county is in the house, but these days I have occasionally heard of it, it is rumored that there is a strange thing in the county, there is a child who is obsessed with the person in the painting, originally thought it was a rural fallacy, but today he knows that it is true, this child is talking about the person who is curled up and kneeling on the ground?"

This Liu Dingkui originally had a reputation for showing off his talents, so he didn't have to kneel, but at this time, he was mentally incomplete, how could he consider the reason for this, just looked up and continued to curl up on the ground.

The official snorted a few times! The official scolded: "Are you dead? The old man asked, and if he didn't say anything, he wouldn't feel so good about the next stick." ”

As soon as he looked up, the huge old man had already recognized Liu Dingkui, and after a sigh, seeing that he had not yet spoken, he motioned for the official to retreat and said: "You Liu Dingkui, I think I have also seen your test papers in the children's examination back then, and this county is also glad that it can produce young talents such as you, but I never thought that it would end up like this now." After that, he looked at Xiaolian who was kneeling on the side and said, "The woman raised her head." ”

The huge old man looked at the little lotus who looked at him for a long time, and suddenly became even more puzzled, "Although this little lotus does not say the appearance of the city, it can be regarded as a small jasper, but this Liu Dingkui prefers a scroll of pictures, today I want to see what kind of scroll can be so charming." Thinking of this, he commanded: "Someone, take the scroll and look at the county." ”

Hearing this, the two officials put down the court and stepped forward, one pressed Liu Dingkui to the ground, and the other was about to forcibly take the picture scroll from his arms. Liu Dingkui saw that the situation was not good, so he simply curled up into a group and hugged him tighter. The second official who couldn't take the picture scroll inevitably punched and kicked him again.

At this time, the master frowned, and whispered in Pang Zhixian's ear: "This Liu Dingkui is so obsessed, if he takes out the picture scroll, he will be even more crazy when he thinks about it, and he will inevitably worry about his life." It's better to bluff him, maybe it will be very effective. ”

Hearing this, Pang Zhixian nodded secretly, and slapped it on the case again. said: "Stop, seeing that you are so obsessed, today I will ask you this Liu Dingkui, this picture scroll is comparable to the love of wife and children?"

Liu Dingkui, who was beaten with blood from his nose and mouth, raised his head and shook vigorously.

Pang Zhixian asked again: "Can it be compared to the grace of parents?"

Liu Dingkui shook his head in return.

Pang Zhixian was furious, ahhh He said: "Okay, you shameless rebel husband, let me ask you again, you can only choose one of your wife and children, parents and this picture." ”

Liu Dingkui finally spoke, and said vaguely: "I just want a beauty." ”

Pang Zhixian was furious and shouted: "Okay, then I will fulfill you." According to the main book, the criminal Liu Dingkui abandoned his wife and children, disrespected and unfilial, and was sentenced to the crime of disobedience and put on death row. ”

Suddenly, there was silence in the hall, and the old couple shouted at the top of their voices: "My lord sees it clearly! Although Kui'er is not filial, it is not disobedient!"

Xiaolian shouted in tears in shock: "Lord Qingtian, Xiaolian won't tell you, Xiaolian won't tell you." Please be merciful to take my husband's life!"

Pang Zhixian couldn't bear it in his heart, frowned and looked at the three of them, closed his eyes and nodded gently.

He said to Liu Dingkui again: "What more can you ask for if you have such a good wife, if you can repent, tear up the scroll and spare you today." ”

Liu Dingkui, who was also very surprised when he heard the verdict, opened his mouth wide and squinted at Pang Zhixian, and secretly took out the picture scroll to look at it, and whispered very reluctantly: "The eldest master sees that Tong Sheng knows that he is wrong, and he will serve his parents and care for his wife and children with his heart in the future, but this picture scroll can never be torn." With that, he hugged him again.

Pang Zhixian, who didn't swear when he "farted", was angry and angry today.

Liu Dingkui, who could hear this, shook his head, leaned down and continued to curl up on the ground, and whispered in a very small voice: "I just want a beauty." ”

Pang Zhixian, who was helpless, covered his face with one hand and rubbed it vigorously, slapped the table in shock, and sighed in his mouth: "Hey! He didn't care about everyone in the hall, brushed his sleeves and left.

In the cold and damp death number, the ground was foot-deep mud, cold and dirty, and exuded a thick rancid smell. Even the poor man who walked in the prison quickly threw the prisoner into it, and then quickly covered his nose and left.

In the innermost part of the dim trumpet, there was a small window on the wall that was high for two people, and there was a little hay on the bamboo bed full of mold below. This sitting is a day, and gradually the sunset is gone, and Liu Dingkui, who can't see the picture, is restless, jumping out of bed and screaming all over the place, and from time to time the head hits the iron door.

I only heard the sound of metal colliding in the distance, and some firelight was transmitted, Liu Dingkui hurriedly stepped forward and squatted on the ground to look at the picture scroll.

The jailer, with a bucket in one hand and a large spoon in the other, knocked on the iron fence to the door of the death number, threw down a dirty bowl, took a spoonful of sticky and sour paste from the large bucket and poured it into it, saying, "Take care of your bowl, if you lose it, you won't have anything to eat." ”

After that, he came to the trumpet next to him and scooped a spoonful into the bowl outside the iron door. Suddenly, there was a sound of snoring, and then a snoring voice said: "Good old man, you can do well, I can't eat a few more meals, for my unlucky sake, give me another spoonful!"

The jailer pursed his lips, covered his nose and put another spoonful in, and the man picked up the bowl and snorted again. Holding the bowl in both hands, he stretched out his hands with a strange smile on his face, and said to the jailer: "Hey, brother, another spoonful, another spoonful will be good for you! ”

The jailer snorted, and put a spoonful on the man's head: "You're fucking dead, and you dare to talk to me about brothers, what do you feed the pigs in the backyard? Besides, what can you old boy do? ”

The man raised his eyebrows strangely, and said with a mysterious smile: "Haven't you heard anyone say it? Old man, my ancestors have a recipe, I don't think that my life is afraid of being lost!"

The jailer asked curiously, "What is the magic formula?"

The strange man whispered mysteriously, "If I eat this magic medicine, I can make the thing in my crotch secretly arch out again, do you think it's not good?" He said, "There are just a few more grains, why don't you take them and try them first?"

The jailer slapped another spoonful on the stranger's head and said, "Fuck, you can't laugh at Lao Tzu, can you? I won't give you a spoonful tomorrow." As he spoke, he turned around and left, but he didn't take a few steps and was stunned and turned back, grabbed the pill in the stranger's hand and said, "Don't lie to me, you old boy, or I'll feel good with you." I took it in my hand and sniffed it, and the spicy sour smell hit my nostrils, and I couldn't help but sneeze a few times in a row.

The jailer angrily threw another spoonful at the stranger, but the guarded stranger smiled and easily avoided it. He said: "Hey, I don't let you see the real chapter, you still think the old man is talking nonsense." With that, he took off his pants and stood there cross-legged, and shook it.

The jailer who watched frowned and widened his eyes, oh round his mouth, and smirked strangely stunned, with a look of envy on his face.

"You can only know if you use it! Old man, I will not make some embarrassing requests for people who are about to die, as long as you bring a roast chicken to satisfy the old man's cravings, remember to eat one and try it first!." ”

I only heard the jailer snort, and he put the elixir into his waist like a treasure and got up and left.

When the strange man saw that the jailer was leaving, he hurriedly asked loudly: "Hey, Li Tou, my neighbor, if you don't keep silent all day long, or you don't bang your head against the wall in a frenzied manner, what did you do to come in?"

"Your neighbor is the biggest fool in the world, and he has a good life but he is stupid to come in, and wonder why he asked. With that, he picked up a spoonful and threw it into the bowl, and turned away impatiently.
