The golden rooster sings, and the dawn breaks.

The originally quiet city of Jiaxing in the early morning sunshine, slowly regained yesterday's vitality, people who slept all night have gotten up, the sound of adults talking, children's crying, street early hawkers are intertwined, that prosperous appearance is back.

After all the soldiers washed, they put on their armor and held swords in their hands, and stood in a neat formation in the courtyard, waiting for the captain Chu Changcun's lecture.

The mighty and majestic Chu Changcun stood quietly on the steps under the eaves, looked at the subordinates in front of him sternly, and looked at it for a while before he slowly spoke: "A lot of things happened yesterday, and there must be a lot of confusion in your hearts, but I hope you forget those unpleasant things, just remember that we came to inspect in accordance with military orders, and the rest, don't care."

If someone takes my words as a deaf ear, then don't blame me for not being emotional.

In addition, I want to say that when we go out, in addition to abiding by military discipline, we must also think about our parents, wives and children at home, and think about the Paozawa brothers around us.

I treat you as brothers, and I hope you will treat me as brothers, and in the coming time, you will do your part, do not embarrass yourself, and do not embarrass me.

Everyone is here to carry out the mission, life and honor are tied together, and I hope that everyone can respect themselves and others.

I don't want to talk about other nonsense, just do your job well and don't let yourself regret it.

All the brothers who unfortunately died yesterday are good soldiers who kill thieves and brave soldiers, and they are worth learning from, and the relics on their bodies will be returned to their families by the team after returning to the state capital barracks, and as for the pension, I will help them ask for it.

Okay, that's all I have to say, go back to the room to repair, and prepare for the next patrol rotation. Wang Wuyi came with me. ”

After speaking, Chu Changcun waved his hand, and all the soldiers dispersed one after another, and Wang Wuyi, the team leader, took a few steps forward and walked behind Chu Changcun.

Chu Changcun returned to the house, and did not rush to explain to Wang Wuyi, but went to the inner bed first and asked Zhang Xiaozhong some questions.

After waiting for a while, Chu Changcun returned to the outer room where the guests were entertained and motioned for Wang Wuyi to find a place to sit casually.

"Wu Yi, the allegiance is a little seriously injured, and he can't get up for the time being, you are responsible for the management of the two teams, take them to the city gate to hand over and rotate, and let those brothers rest. ”

"Yes. When Wang Wu heard the order, he bowed very dignifiedly.

Chu Changcun's face was solemn, and he said quite seriously: "Wu Yi, you must restrain them and don't make any more trouble." ”

"Yes. Wang Wuyi claimed that it was.

Then Chu Changcun waved his hand and signaled that Wang Wuyi could go.

After Wang Wu left, Chu Changcun paced around the room several times, then picked up the saber on the table and walked out of the room with a heavy face.

Chu Changcun walked on the street for a while, and he had already arrived on the street where the county government prison was located, and what appeared in front of him was a whitewashed wall, with a big word 'prison' on the wall, and a big black iron gate under the wall, and two jailers standing outside the door.

Chu Changcun glanced at it a few times, and then walked towards the door of the prison.

When he was still seven feet away from the gate, Chu Changcun was stopped by the jailer, who was not tall and stocky, and the jailer asked, "What for?"

Chu Changcun smiled slightly, "It was arranged by Lord Zhou." ”

"Any credentials?"

"Last night's arrangement, there is no voucher. ”

The jailer looked Chu Changcun up and down and said, "You wait here, I'll ask the cell leader." ”

After a while, the jailer was followed by a rather capable middle-aged man, who was supposed to be the cell boss here.

The middle-aged man waved his right hand, and the two jailers quietly retreated.

The cell boss hugged his fists and said respectfully: "Under the surname Zhang, dare to ask the distinguished guest is Lord Ma?"

Chu Changcun replied: "I don't have the surname Ma, but Master Ma ordered me to come here." ”

"I wonder who the adults are visiting?" asked the cell boss tentatively.

"Find the young man surnamed Meng. ”

The cell boss smiled slightly, "For the sake of safety, I asked a few more questions, please forgive me." ”

Chu Changcun shook his head and said it was okay.

After that, Zhang Prison Boss made a gesture of invitation, and motioned for Chu Changcun to follow him into the county jail.

In the dimly lit passage of the cell, Zhang Cell Boss held a crackling torch in his hand, with a clanging keychain hanging on his body, half-hunched to lead the way in front, and Chu Changcun followed behind with an expressionless face.

After several rounds and gates, the two of them came to the innermost level of the prison.

Zhang Gang slowly lit the oil lamp on the wall, and as the flame rose, the light illuminated the entire space quite brightly.

After doing all this, Zhang Cell Leader approached Chu Changcun and asked in a low voice, "My lord, the young man surnamed Meng is in the second cell. You're busy, I'll wait for you outside, and if you have something, just shout at me. ”

With that, Zhang Cell Boss handed a rusty key to Chu Changcun, turned around and went out.

Chu Changcun weighed the key in his hand, felt the slightly cool touch of the key, and then showed a murderous expression and slowly walked towards Meng Ran's cell.

At this time, Meng Ran's eyes had just adjusted to the light that suddenly lit up, and he squinted at the figure approaching him. After only a few breaths, he recognized Chu Changcun's figure, and his heart chuckled.

Chu Changcun opened the prison door, slowly walked in front of Meng Ran, and looked at Meng Ran with a cold and cruel look.

Meng Ran barely maintained a calm appearance, but the panic in his eyes and the slightly trembling shoulders betrayed him.

Chu Changcun smiled slightly, "It seems that you still know how to be afraid, I thought you were really bold and not afraid of death!"

The corners of Meng Ran's mouth twitched, and he didn't speak, but just replied with a rather fierce expression.

Chu Changcun hesitated for a moment, then ruthlessly, raised his leg and kicked at Meng Ran, and said while kicking: "Boy, let you live one more night, aren't you happy?

Meng Ran didn't beg for mercy, but just snorted and scolded: "Lackey!"

Chu Changcun stopped his movements, stood with knives in both hands, looked at Meng Ran coldly, and sneered: "A lackey is also stronger than a dead dog." ”

Meng Ran dusted off the clothes on his chest and laughed softly: "Don't chirp crookedly like a girl, there is a kind of kill me now, otherwise I will definitely kill you, just like killing those soldiers." ”

Chu Changcun was extremely angry, and he didn't see how he moved, the long knife erected was already out of its sheath, and the silver and cold knife light like autumn water broke through the air towards Meng Ran's neck.

Meng Ran closed his eyes slightly, he was not waiting for death, he just wanted to gamble to see if Chu Changcun really wanted to kill him, or if the old prisoner next door would save him.

There was a sudden wind, and a stone flew out of the cell next door, only to hear the sound of 'clanging', and the stone actually hit Chu Changcun's knife without any difference, destroying the original knife momentum.

Chu Changcun's upright body trembled a few times, and the long knife in his hand almost came out of his hand, he immediately adjusted his posture, put on a posture to meet the enemy, and looked at Li Haoran in the next cell with a wary face, looking like a great enemy.

After Li Haoran threw out the stone, he didn't move his body, but said in a deep voice: "Don't forget your intention, don't let anger occupy your reason." ”

Chu Changcun looked at Li Haoran deadly, and after a long time, he slowly withdrew his knife, and said with a gloomy face: "It turns out that there is a master here, no wonder he dares to be so rampant." ”

The latter sentence rushed towards Meng Ran.

Meng Ran slowly opened his eyes, still with that indifferent appearance, and sneered: "What's the matter? Isn't it? Do you dare to kill me?"

Chu Changcun's empty right hand suddenly clenched into a fist, then slowly let go, and said in a deep voice: "I don't dare to kill you, after all, I don't want to bear the charge of private murder and anti-thief, you wait, within three days, you will be convicted, and I will personally watch your head fall to the ground at that time." ”

After Chu Changcun said these cruel words, he didn't even feel comfortable looking at Meng Ran, and with a flick of his sleeves, he withdrew from the cell.

After Chu Changcun walked for a while, the cell boss came, he locked the cell door above, and did not extinguish the oil lamp on the wall, but quietly retreated.

When the cell returned to calm, Meng Ran stood up, saluted Li Haoran, and said, "Thank you seniors for coming to the rescue, if it weren't for you, I would have been a dead soul under the knife." ”

Li Haoran smiled and asked in a strange tone, "Do you know that person?"

Meng Ran said: "I know, Chu Changcun, the captain of the Fourth Regiment of Hangzhou Zhechong Mansion. ”

Li Haoran sighed and asked, "What grade?"

Meng Ran thought for a moment and said, "It should be an official of the seventh grade." ”

Li Haoran smiled lightly and said, "That's really interesting." ”

Meng Ran was puzzled and asked, "What's so interesting?"

"A captain of the seventh grade came specifically to find trouble with you?"

"He died brother, so it's normal to look at me unpleasantly. ”

Li Haoran raised his head slightly and asked, "Then why is the thunder so loud and the rain small?"

Meng Ran was a little angry and said, "It's still raining, it almost killed me!"

Li Haoran smiled, "Who asked you to scold him? ”

Meng Ran looked aggrieved and muttered: "Isn't it because you are by my side, I am a little bolder." ”

Li Haoran scolded with a smile: "You fart, do you really think that Lao Tzu doesn't know your careful thoughts? ”

Meng Ran smiled, "The seniors are good to me, and the juniors are unforgettable." ”

Li Haoran rolled his eyes, but his tone was slightly gentle, and he said, "The one surnamed Chu is probably just a red-faced singer." ”

Meng Ran didn't say anything, frowned and pondered, and after a while, he raised his eyebrows and laughed softly: "Then we have to see who the white face is, if it is the person I think, then we can go out soon, if not, then there will be trouble." ”

"Oh?" Li Haoran looked at Meng Ran with a playful look and asked, "Do you know who it is?"

"It should be someone from the Imperial City Division. Meng Ran replied.
