Chapter 109: Mu Yuan Sits in the Hall (I)

When Gao Wei said this passage, Chu Xunyu and the three of them couldn't help but fall into deep thought, this woman's motive is suspicious, why is it just to take revenge on a mortal? That kind of technique is too clumsy, with the magic power of a demon, killing a mortal thousands of miles away, it is just a gesture, why bother so much?

"It's an easy question. Mu Yuan sat on the straw and slapped his thigh.

"Oh, do you have a solution to this?" the crowd looked at him strangely.

"Nope. ”

"Nonsense! Chu Xunyu glanced at him.

Mu Yuan patted the wooden pillar with his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, sit here and think stupidly, what answer can you wait for?" Let's go out directly and check it, anyway, this mortal cell can't trap us, and it's just a matter of raising our hands to get out." ”

"This is reasonable, but should we take Gao Wei out as well?" Wangchen was unhurried and raised this key question, "It's easy to take it out, but if he disappears for no reason, it will inevitably cause confusion about the laws of the mortal world, we are guilty of a lot of crimes, you must know that cultivators are not allowed to interfere in human affairs without reason, otherwise, once the catastrophe comes, our sin will be increased." ”

"This ......" is reasonable, the cultivator has always been allowed to meddle in mortal affairs, each person has a personal fate, and the individual has a personal destiny, unless there is a major problem of right and wrong, or a natural disaster and a catastrophe, under the nest, there is no egg, the cultivator will take action, otherwise he usually intervenes, and the way of heaven will inevitably punish him.

"There's no hurry. Chu Xunyu said with a smile, "Let's go out first and find out the facts, Brother Gao has been wronged here for a few days, anyway, the official document of the Criminal Department has not yet arrived, he is not in a hurry to ask for beheading." ”

"Yes, Brother Chu, you go out quickly, find out, and return my innocence. Gao Wei was on the other side of the railing and hurriedly echoed, "Isn't it just squatting in the class room for two more days, it's okay, you guys go out quickly." ”

The four of them were discussing, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the end of the corridor, it turned out to be the cell boss, not only him, but also a few of his subordinates, who seemed to be carrying something in their hands. A group of people slowly came to the door of Gao Wei Prison, the cell head stopped, tilted his eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "Yo, you guys are familiar with each other, and you have a good chat." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Gao Wei again, sighed, and shouted, "Come on, open the door." ”

"What's wrong, let me out?" asked Galway, curiously.

"What do you think, eat. The cell leader shook his head, and as soon as he turned around, it turned out that the jailer behind him was carrying several large food boxes.

A group of people bent down into the prison door and opened the food box, oh, good fellow, this meal, that is called a hearty, there are fish and meat, and a large jar of old wine, which is in response to the folk proverb: "Chicken, duck and fish are all kinds of meat, and a jar of old wine is in my heart." ”

Not to mention Gao Wei, even Wangchen and Mu Yuan looked straight at their eyes, Wangchen was relieved, shook his head and sighed: "It's not a loss of peace and prosperity, the four seas are rich, even the prisoners in prison eat and drink, they are so rich, jade plate delicacies, wine and dishes, it seems that Da Ming is far better than Yuan, I live up to the world, I think about the prison of the Tang Dynasty back then, it is nothing more than this." ”

Everyone sighed, and the jailer put it up, only Chu Xunyu felt that it was wrong, how could he be so familiar with this scene, as if he had experienced it back then, a thought flashed in his heart, and he quickly stood up, grabbed the pillar, stretched out his head and shouted: "Cell head, cell head, what's the matter? This can't be a gift for people." ”

The cell boss standing on the side was obviously stunned, and then smiled regretfully: "Little brother is really an understanding person, let's call it that, I originally wanted to wait until I finished eating, so as not to lose my appetite, but I was still pointed out by you." ”

Gao Wei, who was tearing the chicken in his hand, suddenly turned stupid when he heard this, and with a "snap", the chicken leg also fell on the plate, dumbfounded, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Being so troubled by Chu Xunyu, Wangchen and Mu Yuan asked strangely, "What is 'giving people food?'"

Hearing such a question, Chu Xunyu rolled his eyes helplessly, these two have really lived in the temple for a long time, and they don't understand the flavors of the world. I have to explain it simply: Sending people to eat, also known as decapitation meal, or send-off meal, is those prisoners who are determined to be executed, before leaving, the last meal, as the saying goes, eat and drink well, and hungry ghosts are not found. When you are full and drunk, you are killing your head, and you will not be a hungry ghost when you get down, so as not to become a starving ghost reincarnated in the next life.

After Wangchen heard it, he thought about it, he was still singing the praises of the peaceful and prosperous world just now, it turned out to be like this, he couldn't help but blush, and asked curtly: "Cell boss, what's going on." ”

The cell head squatted down, patted the stupid Gao Wei on the shoulder, and said regretfully: "Don't hide it, brother, someone came from above just now, your documents, the criminal department has approved, get along these days, see that you are also a man, so this meal at noon is made up by a few of our brothers themselves, and there is another meal in the evening, which is sent by the official family, the chef invited by Taihonglou, keep the craftsmanship, you are full of food and drink today, and you will be three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, so as to send your brother on the road." ”

"How can this be, how can this be......" Gao Wei, a bold man who mounted a horse and carried a big knife and angrily beheaded fifty enemies, was stupid on the spot after listening to it at this time, and just said a few words over and over again.

Seeing a lot of this kind of scene, the cell boss raised his eyebrows, and helplessly persuaded him: "There is no way, Yingtian is close to here, and it will only be a few days to send documents on a fast horse, so your documents, the Criminal Department will give instructions in a few days, brother, don't think so much, good wine and good meat are enough, come, eat." ”

Seeing Gao Wei's appearance, Chu Xunyu felt sad for a while, how similar it was to his situation back then, and hurriedly interjected: "Brother Cell Boss, will you go out first? Let Brother Gao stay alone for a while, and we will persuade him." ”

The cell boss stood up and nodded: "Okay, brother, I want to open a little, my head has a big scar, we are a good man in twenty years, I want to open a little." With that, he took the people and left.

Seeing that the people were walking away, Mu Yuan said anxiously: "Don't wait, don't wait, can't wait, let's take Gao Wei immediately." ”

A sentence woke up Gao Wei, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Chu Xunyu expectantly, Chu Xunyu glanced at Mu Yuan: "Faint words, taking Gao Wei away now is equivalent to robbing prison, violating the laws of the world, not to mention, and messing with my heavenly way, after being rescued, Gao Wei has become a wanted criminal, what should I do when the time comes? I have been living secretly for the rest of my life? It is not such a way to save people, if you want to save it, you must walk out of here with dignity." ”

"Then what do you say. ”

"Simple, the Daming Law stipulates that if the local government is convicted, if there is another hidden situation, you can shout injustice, and you can also remand it for retrial, Brother Gao, you should immediately call for injustice now, let the government be promoted, and try your case, when the time comes, we will have time, and we can find evidence to save you out." ”

"That's right, Gao Wei, hurry, hurry up and cry out!" Mu Yuan hurriedly reminded.

Galway, a carp, jumped up, came to the door of the cell, and shouted, "Cell head, cell head!"

"What's the matter?" the cell boss hurriedly asked, "what else do you want to eat?"

"No, I want to cry out for injustice and retrial. ”

"This ......" the cell boss looked at him sympathetically, "Brother, it's not impossible for you to shout injustice, I want to retry and I will help you pass the word, but it doesn't have much effect, I heard that the evidence in your case is conclusive, and it is in vain to go, and generally death row prisoners will shout injustice in the end, and they will be retried, I have seen a lot, but nine times out of ten the sentence will not be changed, I advise you to die of this heart." ”

"What a faint talk!" Chu Xunyu said angrily, "The Da Ming Law clearly stipulates that if there is a problem with the case, it should be remanded to the hometown for retrial, if you are still not satisfied, you can report to the Criminal Department, assign a specific official for retrial, and so on, six departments and nine divisions, three trials and finalized cases, report layer by layer, go straight to the front of the emperor, and finally you can play the Son of Heaven, explain the facts, and rehabilitate Zhaoxue." ”

"Good, good, good. The cell boss rolled his eyes helplessly, "Yes, you scholars are very good, and you speak with the head of the way, yes, I'll report it, I kindly persuade you not to listen, it's really no way." Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the cell boss had no choice but to go back and report to the government.

The injustice was shouted, but how to say it specifically, Gao Wei was a rough man, and he still had no bottom in his heart, so he turned around and asked, "Brother Chu, what will I say when the time comes?"

"You don't care about this, you first go to the court to complain, and then say that we are willing to be a lawyer for you, find a way to talk to us and ask us to go to the court, and then my mountain people have their own clever plans. ”

After a while, the cell boss led someone to escort Gao Wei away. At this time, Wang Chenqi said: "Chu Xiaoyou, I remember that we are imprisoned as prisoners, so we can't avenge others, right?"

"My predecessors have taught me, but I have my own means. Chu Xunyu smiled indifferently, looked at Mu Yuan and asked, "Bajie, have you ever sat in the hall and tried a case?"

"Of course not. ”

"Then I will let you sit in the lobby today and try the condemned criminals. ”

"Haha. Mu Yuan heard that he could mess around, and suddenly came to his senses, "Okay, this must be fun, I will also be a prefect to play." ”

As Chu Xunyu expected, he opened the door and took them to the prefect, and said strangely: "It's strange, didn't you say that Gao Wei killed someone, how did you also implicate you." ”

The three of them laughed but did not answer, and walked out of the prison to see the prefect. As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw Gao Wei kneeling under the hall with shackles, dozens of officials on both sides stood solemnly, and there was a fat man, under the plaque of "Mirror Hanging", wearing official robes, sitting on the top of the hall. ”

Seeing the three of them brought, the fat prefect was shocked, and shouted loudly: "Come on, drag these people down first, and each of them will hit forty boards." ”
