Chapter 451: Top Bag
The soapy clothes quickly used an iron lock, led the little beggar on crutches, and approached the county yamen on Wenshi Road without stopping. When he arrived at the ground, Li Xuan looked around and saw a couplet on the left and right of the yamen.
Erfeng Erlu, the people's fat and people's ointment
The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive
This was written by Zhao Jiong, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, in order to exhort hundreds of officials to be diligent and serve the people, and asked for a unified engraving in front of the yamen. Although Zhao Jiong had good intentions, he had little effect.
When the little beggar saw this couplet, he couldn't help but shake his head, and added a few words to this couplet, changing it to:
Erfeng Erlu is just insufficient, and the people are anointed and the people are fattened
The people are easy to abuse, and they will be caught, and how can God deceive him
The surname Ye caught the tip of his ears, and when he heard the two words Li Xuan said, he suddenly remembered that this was a change from the yamen couplet, which happened to say that the thoughts of these officials were like a knife stabbed in the sore spot, revealing a bloody and ugly wound, and he couldn't help but be angry from his heart, and evil was born to the side of his heart.
So, he pulled the iron lock again, made the little beggar lose his body balance, and fell to the ground again, the soapy clothes were fast but he felt happy, just like eating a bowl of iced sour plum soup in summer, not to mention how comfortable it was.
In the past half month, several large families in Shaoxing City have been entered by thieves one after another, stealing many valuables, and they have been under a lot of pressure.
Seeing that the case files are stacked heavily, and the face of the head catcher is as black as an iron pot, which can scrape off a layer of dust, and the catch that is leisurely on weekdays will naturally pass on to heavier pressure, but there is still nothing to think about.
Jianghu Road has the rules of Jianghu Road, and the six doors also have the rules of six doors. Shaoxing Yamen has always had close contacts with friends on the rivers and lakes, but it is a pity that these cases were not done by the brothers on the road, and even the famous "Bao Inquire" was at a loss.
Seeing that the time limit is approaching, the quick arrest that has nothing to do will naturally pick up the usual means used in the past, catch a few unlucky eggs to take the blame, and close the case first, and the matter of the whereabouts of the stolen goods can naturally be talked about later.
So, the gold medal catchers of the fast class shot in no particular order, caught a few wanderers, beggars, and splashers, and brought them to the yamen class room, ready to make them confess.
The wanderers and splashes on the streets of Shaoxing City know the stakes and refuse to admit that they are involved, even if they are arrested and sent to the tiger chair, the iron ruler board hits the ground and the soles of the feet are blurred with flesh and blood, they all grit their teeth and insist on claiming their innocence.
It didn't take long for Li Xing, a street rat, to come to Yamen to dredge, this is a famous big splash in Shaoxing City, black and white, and it is also used under the hands of the famous business house Zhaofeng Nian, and the catchers will naturally give face, so they will not embarrass the two.
In the end, it was the turn of the little beggar with a wooden cane, who knew that there was no use of torture, so he confessed his guilt and even took all the cases on himself.
Such a good little beggar, there is no need to be punished, the surname Ye quickly realized that he had meritorious, so he immediately brushed away the dust on the case file and let Li Xuanhua take the matter into custody.
The seven burglary cases involved a particularly huge amount of money, and the loss of property was very valuable, and the bitter owners were all wealthy and powerful families in Shaoxing City, so they naturally had to solve the cases quickly.
It's just that a little beggar on crutches can avoid the courtyard and the vicious dog, and sneak into the house of the high-walled compound to steal, which is really unconvincing.
The housekeepers and deacons who are in charge of coming forward are all human spirits, and when they saw Li Xuan, who had a dark disease in his legs and feet, he understood everything, but the attitude of the yamen was quite correct, and he attached great importance to the feelings of the wealthy and powerful families in the city.
It's just that in this way, the little beggar who was guilty of the crime was miserable, and under the combined punishment of several crimes, because the amount was particularly huge, and he could not return the stolen goods to the bitter master, he was naturally sentenced to behead after the autumn according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty.
When Li Xuan learned the details of this matter, he was going through the registration procedures at the gate of the prison warehouse, and secretly thought: "If you go against the sky, you must be robbed one by one, until you kill yourself." Unexpectedly, I went with the sky, but I still didn't end up well, or I had a way of thinking. ”
Thinking of this, the little beggar couldn't help laughing, laughing freely, laughing heartily, laughing at the fast catcher who came to him, and the jailer of the prison was confused, and he couldn't figure out the thoughts of this mortal man.
"Crazy, it must be crazy! Get in and don't let me see him again. It is said that madness is contagious. ”
Shaoxing is a large county, and there is a large prison directly under the county government, which is divided into internal prison, external prison and women's prison. The inner prison holds murder thieves and serious prisoners on capital crimes. Detention of criminal offenders for minor offences outside the prison. Women's prisons, on the other hand, hold female prisoners.
The prison officer in charge of management is a petty official who does not enter the stream, and there are several jailers under him, who are responsible for guarding the prisoners.
Since the little beggar committed a capital crime, he was naturally sent to the inner prison for strict supervision, but the prison guard, who looked like a human spirit, saw Li Xuan on wooden crutches, so that he could slowly pacing and walking.
He was too lazy to expose the tricks of his peers, but he still followed the rules, confiscated the little beggar's wooden crutches, and ordered the two guards to carry Li Xuan and send him directly to the inner prison.
The jailer knew that the little beggar could not scrape oil and water on his body, so his attitude became very perfunctory, so he sent it to the ground and threw it directly into the prison barn, closed the door, hung up a lock to close the matter, turned around and walked away.
Although the ground was covered with a layer of rice stalks and hay, the rugged ground still knocked Li Xuan's chest and abdomen were stinging, and he lay on the ground without saying a word, deliberately showing his weakness, but took the opportunity to observe the environment in the prison barn.
With the help of the sunlight cast by the air window, the little beggar found that there were six death row criminals in the huge prison barn, with shackles on their bodies, hands and feet, all of which had the breath of people in the rivers and lakes, wisps of evil spirit, a little blood, and they must be vicious fanatics holding human lives in their hands.
Li Xuan sat up unhurriedly, stretched out his hand and gently brushed his hands and feet, but found that the wound had stopped bleeding and scabbed on its own, and secretly said wonderful.
The essence of the water valley stolen by the greedy insects is really a lot, and it is slowly released, which is a good medicine for the little beggar's empty and weak body.
"It's still a while before the Autumn Queen's Question, and it's not bad for me to settle here. Let me first test whether the prison god exists in this big county prison. ”
Who knows, at this moment, his hands and neck were in shackles, and the most burly "prison bully" raised his chin slightly, and there was a strong man with scars on his cheeks and his hands in shackles, standing up with a snort and strolling in front of the little beggar.
After looking left and right, the strong man couldn't help laughing: "Boss, our internal supervisor actually has a young chick, you are blessed, you can taste the taste of little fresh meat!"
