Chapter 368: Basin Hanging
"Brother, you just arrived, and the wine you drank hasn't warmed up yet, how can you make him work!" Shi En hurriedly stopped.
When his sister-in-law heard this, her face was full of displeasure, and she didn't care that outsiders were present, so she opened her mouth and scolded: "Manly people do things, are you so abrasive! You invited the two of us to come here to deal with that Jiang Menshen, this Li Kui is his thug, isn't it just right to deal with it!"
Shi'en's brother immediately pulled his wife and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, the virtuous brother asked you to stay well, so you can stay well, are you afraid that there will be no fight for you?"
Cha Pao and Xiao Fang saw the two of them, thinking that Shi En's brother looked strange, must be a grumpy evil star, the little lady was handsome, must be a virtuous woman, who knew that it was the opposite, the little lady was anxious to beat people, but the brother was very good-tempered.
Shi En's brother has another thought, Shi En wrote a letter to ask them to come here to help boxing, it was Jiang Menshen who fought it, in order to get back the happy forest, it was all a matter in the rivers and lakes, Jiang Menshen and Zhang Tuanlian were friendly, Zhang Tuanlian had a regular army, and Shi En also had a regular army, both of them were under the command of Zhang Dujian, Zhang Dujian also spoke, there were things to solve privately, and the regular army could not be used, so that the people could see it, it was not good.
Shi En invited his brother and sister-in-law, this Li Kui is just Jiang Menshen's subordinates, and he is in Anping Village at the moment, if he solves it himself, wouldn't it make Shi En lose face, saying that he has no ability in Anping Village, but he is worried about this, so he persuaded his wife.
How do you know that Shi En's thoughts are different, he is a military attachΓ©, his personality is like a literati, he pays great attention to etiquette, and he wants to invite his brother and sister-in-law to help him with his fists, but he can't let them move his fists and feet as soon as he comes, at least he has to provide for ten days and a half months, and then choose a good day, and then go to Jiang Menshen to settle accounts.
At this moment, I don't know if Li Kui is a "black whirlwind", and I don't want my brother and sister-in-law to peep at it, anyway, tomorrow will be known, so I simply said: "I know, just let him gamble tonight, I only have plans tomorrow!"
Shi Kui's words made Li Kui enjoy unprecedented happiness, he likes to gamble money, but every time he gambles, he will lose, this is natural, Li Kui has no city government in his heart, he just gambles.
Normal gambling size, the dealer will not lose money, but the gamblers with Li Kui are hooligans, ruffians, treacherous people, everyone knows that Li Kui has no scheming, so they make some small tricks, every time to win him clean.
Although Li Kui said that it is good to gamble, but no one likes to lose every time they gamble, but tonight is different, this gambling house is opened by grace, and the people who come to gamble are either officers and soldiers or prisoners, who dare to use means, they are all gambling formally.
Li Kui lost money at the beginning, and there is a saying in the gambling house, that is, he is not afraid that you will win, but he is afraid that you will not come.
The officers and soldiers in the prison camp and the prisoners who came to gamble money, most of them are rich, they will not say that they will lose a few games and they will run out of money, and they will run away.
This is also the day when he laughed the most and smiled brightest in his life, the little guy who went to Shi En's house to report the news watched Li Kui win a lot of silver, which was originally won by the gambling house, and he also had a commission.
"Uncle, uncle!"
"What's wrong?" Li Kui gambled happily, and he was also kind to him, but his kind face was also scary.
"According to the rules of the prison camp, the gambling house will be open until dawn, so you can come back tomorrow night. β
Li Kui glared and scolded: "What's the matter, the gambling houses in the world are open for twelve hours a day, how can there be a reason to close!"
"The lord is talking about the gambling house outside, which is different from the prison camp, no, you ask everyone. β
General gambling money, the dealer of the same table, a night down, always have to change a few times, the reason is, worry about the dealer and the guests ventilation each other, win the silver of the gambling house, from time to time to change, can be eliminated, in addition to luck, but where a table of guests win more money, the gambling house will think that the dealer is unlucky today, to replace, in fact, the gambler also has a requirement for substitution, that is, to lose more, no excuse, then rely on the dealer, in order to put an end, but also the reason for the substitution.
Li Kui is killing all sides tonight, some people have already felt unhappy and want to replace him, but seeing that he looks scary, no one dares to speak, and at this moment after listening to the words of the little guy, they all understand.
"Man, he is right, the gambling house in the prison camp is only open at night, you can come as soon as it gets night, your gambling is good, gambling with you is the most enjoyable, you must come early tonight." β
Li Kui won the money, and flattered people again, of course he was happy, and immediately picked up the silver, but there was too much silver, and there were no clothes to bear, so he couldn't finish it with two hands.
He had an idea, tied up the two trouser legs, and poured the silver into the crotch of the pants in one go, everyone laughed when they saw it, it turned out that the bridge of the grenade hidden in the crotch in the modern drama was not the editor or Miss Ge came up with it, as early as the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Kui used it.
Li Kui has never won so much silver in his life, and he is thinking about taking it back to honor his mother, so he doesn't need to open his eyes when the time comes, and his mother has seen a lot of silver, and she also wants to look at it.
Li Kui walked like an official master, walked back to the single room with figure-eight steps, and saw that the prisoners and officers and soldiers had bandaged their heads with white cloths along the way, and saw that he was hiding far away.
Strangely surprised, he took a prisoner and asked, "Who died in the prison camp today, and why are they all wearing white cloths?"
The man saw that Li Kui's tone was normal, so he boldly said: "What dead people, you were drunk and beaten last night." β
"Straight lady thief! You dare to slander Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has the best wine!"
The man was caught by Li Kui, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Last night, everyone invited you to drink, you were drunk, and you wanted to gamble for money, and everyone advised you not to go, so you beat someone." β
Li Kui completely forgot about what happened last night, but it made perfect sense to hear him say that it was because they prevented him from gambling and playing for himself.
"Well, you wait a minute!"
Li Kui pulled open his pants, so frightened that the man's legs were weak, and a big black man took off his pants in front of him, no one was not afraid.
Li Kui took out a ten-tael of silver at the leg of his trousers, stuffed it into the man's hand, and said with a smile: "Take it to make soup and medicine for those birdmen!"
After saying that, he swaggered into the single room, he has always been generous, but there is no silver on his body, and it is difficult to act as a chivalrous guest.
He took off his pants, tied a knot, used it as a burden, threw it away, and fell asleep when he lay down, even if it was a dream, it was sweet.
After sleeping for about an hour, suddenly his face was cold, and when he touched it, his face was full of water, and he shouted: "This single room is leaking, how can people live!"
"Phew, there's a water leak, it's time to get up and raise the hall!"
Li Kui opened his eyes and saw that it was a messenger, with a head and face, holding a plate in his hand, standing at the door, one leg had already stepped out, ready to run away at any time.
Li Kui glanced at him, didn't have a seizure, sat up, wiped a handful of water on his head, and used it directly to wash his face.
"Come in and escort Li Kui to the point hall!"
There was a shout, and four prisoners came in, but no one dared to approach Li Kui's side, Li Kui glared at him, and shouted: "The master is here, and he doesn't leave, why are you shouting?"
The four of them hurriedly escaped from the single room in a panic, and said stiffly: "Li Kui, do you want to obey the instructions and not go to the viewing hall?"
"Phew, when will the master say that he can't go, but why do you need to be escorted, the master has his own feet to go!"
"Hey, hey, hey!" Nacha watched Li Kui come out, naked all over, and immediately shouted, "You put on your clothes and go again." β
"What to wear, don't you have to take off your pants when you get beaten?"
A group of onlookers were afraid of Li Kui, only to know that he had given ten taels of silver, and at this moment when he said such things, they couldn't help laughing, and the prisoner who had just received his ten taels of silver was bold, brought pants for Li Kui, and said with a smile: "Hero, you are wearing a pair of pants." β
Li Kui grabbed his pants with one hand, regardless of the front or back, put them on indiscriminately, and followed the messenger to the point view hall, where the head of the camp sat on the point view hall, and the small camp Shi En stood aside, and there were more than ten soldiers on both sides.
"Are you the new prisoner Li Kui?" asked the camp minister.
"I'm Li Kui!" Li Kui didn't kneel, and stood proudly.
"According to the old system of Emperor Taizu Wude, anyone who has just arrived with the army must fight a hundred kills, come on, press Li Kui to the ground!"
"Oh, don't do it!" Li Kui's red eyes were round, so scared that more than ten soldiers didn't dare to move, he lay down on his own stomach and said: "If you want to fight, you will fight, those who dodge are not considered heroes, and those who fought before can not be counted, fight again, it's better to hurry up, I want to go back to sleep, and I have to gamble at night!"
When the people on both sides and outside heard this, they all laughed and said, "There is a muddy man here today, see how he has suffered!"
Shi En looked down, how not to recognize him, he was the "black whirlwind" Li Kui who broke his right arm, it can be said that the enemy was very red when he saw him, he gritted his teeth, and said in the ear of the old official camp: "Father, this person is Li Kui who beat me, I will be exempted from killing today, I will take care of him later!"
The old official camp listened, nodded, and asked, "The newly arrived prisoner Li Kui, what kind of illness did you have on the road?"
When the soldiers on both sides heard this, they immediately woke up, and they thought that Li Kui had already handed over the benefit silver, and the minister in charge of the camp wanted to let him go.
Li Kui lay on the ground and said gloomily: "No, I came here from the Yin Yamen, but I am only more than ten miles away, how can I get sick, I can drink wine last night, eat meat, walk and sleep!"
The old official camp said: "I heard from the messenger who escorted him that Li Kui was sick, and you see, his face was pitch black, and there was not a trace of blood! Remember this killing stick for the time being, and fight again in the future!"
The soldiers on both sides immediately reminded: "Li Kui, you quickly said that you were sick, and the minister in charge of the camp wanted to let you go, so you won't be beaten!"
"I'm not sick! I'm not sick!" Li Kui jumped up suddenly, his hands fluttering, "Shi En, you say, am I sick? That day, the master's axe broke your arm, if you hadn't dodged in time, your head would have been gone!"
When everyone heard this, they all understood: "It turns out that that guy once offended the small management camp, so he didn't let him go, it seems that his life is not guaranteed!"
Shi En listened to Li Kui's words, his face turned pale, and he didn't speak, Li Kui shook his head and said: "No, I beat you more than ten days ago, and I can't prove that there is no disease at this moment!"
He turned to Chapo and said, "You ask Chapa, his head is the one I injured last night!"
"Xianggong, the villain fell drunk last night and didn't hit anyone. Cha Pao hurriedly said.
Li Kui scolded, turned around and pointed to the prisoners and officers and soldiers with their heads covered, and said: "You birdmen, how many people did you knock down Lao Tzu last night, and give the number of bulletins to the head minister, so that he can know how powerful the old man is, how can a sick person have such divine power!"
"The management of the camp is the prince, Anping Village is under your governance, it is a safe village, it is very safe, how can anyone make trouble, the villain accidentally touched it. Everyone was gossiping, but no one admitted to beating Li Kui.
Li Kui was so angry that he stomped his feet and scolded: "All of them are straight thieves who don't have the guts! I don't dare to make a sound when I beat the master! Haha, I know, you don't want the master to be famous, don't you?"
The old official camp pointed at Li Kui and said: "You see, Li Kui is talking nonsense, he must be sick, this killing stick will not be beaten, take him back!"
Li Kui opened his hand and said loudly: "Xianggong, the villain is not stupid, if you say not to fight, it is naturally good, but don't fight in the future, it is not good to keep accounts, always worry!"
Although the old official camp was annoyed that he had injured his son, when he heard him say this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't fight!"
Li Kui opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Guan Yinggong, you are much better than your son! If I had known you earlier, I wouldn't have beaten your son! By the way, after three or two days, I can take my old mother here to live together?"
Shi En heard him be rude, he had already said it twice in front of everyone, hit himself, his face couldn't hold back, and he said fiercely: "You can live today, even if you go back to live with your mother!"
Li Kui is a person who has no scheming, and when he heard it, he thought it was true, knelt down and kowtowed to the old official camp and said, "Thank you Xianggong!", he saluted Shi En and said: "Shi En, I broke your hand that day, I'm sorry!", and left happily after speaking.
Shi En stood dumbfounded, this Li Kui humiliated him many times, he should be angry, but just now Li Kui made a salute, and his annoyance subsided a lot.
"Little pipe camp, small pipe camp!"
"Huh?"
He gave Shi En two strokes before Shi En woke up.
"Xiaoguan Ying, the villain will arrange it, and at noon, it is best to put a basin hanging for Li Kui!"
"There's no hurry, wait for me to think about it!"
Cha Pao knew that Shi En was an indecisive person, and he broke Li Kui's head last night, and he had already thought of a way, and he let out a long sigh of "hey".
"Why are you sighing?"
"I didn't sigh. Cha Pa pretended to be frightened.
"You and I have known each other for many years, and we are not afraid to say something. β
"The villain is a straight man, and he can't hide anything from the small management camp. He shook his head and said: "That's it, the villain has a few friends, who wrote a letter to say that they want to go to Mengzhou Mansion to do business, and want to ask the villain to open the door and send filial piety silver to Xiaoguanying, but he also said that he heard that the filial piety silver at this moment was given to the Jiang Men God, and asked the villain if there was such a thing, and said that if it was filial piety to the 'Golden Eye Biao', they were willing, and if they were replaced by others, they would rather not come." β
Shi En listened, his heart was angry, the happy forest was originally his, he opened this happy forest, one is to earn silver, the other is also his father's wish, is to spectacular Mengzhou, add heroic atmosphere, but also to become famous, everyone talks about Mengzhou, will think of "Golden Eye Biao" grace, just like everyone talks about Shandong and thinks of "timely rain" Song Jiang, when talking about Cangzhou, they think of "little whirlwind" Chai Jin.
After robbing the happy forest for Jiang Menshen, he didn't even dare to visit Haojie, for fear of being ridiculed, at this moment, how could he not be angry, and immediately whispered: "You can do it!"
Killing a prisoner in a prison camp does not mean that you want to kill and kill, you need to kill without leaving a trace, that is, if you kill someone, even if there is a coroner, you can't see any injuries on your body, so it is appropriate, otherwise every prisoner is well-founded, one is missing, one is dead, and the official in charge is also responsible.
So here there are two methods of killing criminals, one is called "basin hanging", first with two bowls of dry yellow cang rice mixed with stinky mackerel, so that the prisoner is full, full of chest and abdomen, and then taken to the dungeon, tied with ropes with hands and feet, swept with a piece of bamboo, soaked in water-soaked strips of cloth, plugged seven holes, upside down on the wall, it does not take an hour, there is no doubt about death, there is no scar, it is like eating and swallowing to death.
The other is called the homespun bag, which also tied the prisoner, filled a cloth bag with loess, and pressed it between the prisoner's chest and abdomen, making it difficult for him to breathe, and it also took his life in an hour, and there were no scars to detect.
Dispatch and Shi En used a basin crane this time, the means are more complicated than the homespun bag, but it is impossible to prevent it, the best thing is to use it to deal with people with strong martial arts, and the homespun bag must first tie up Li Kui, and it is estimated that no one in the prison camp can do it.
Li Kui returned to the bachelor's room, thinking that after today, he could get together with his old mother, and he had a lot of silver to pay respect, he was very happy, he had already thought about it, the old mother did not like to live in the happy forest, and he had the silver, so he moved to other places with her.
When he was happy, three military men walked in, one of them held a tray with two bowls of dried yellow warehouse rice mixed with fishy mackerel, and the other two, one holding the water for washing his feet, and the other with a towel.
"What are you three going to do?"
"Hero, let the villain serve you!"
"I don't know your old steward, what are you doing to me, and is it useful to serve people with such a foul thing?"
"Why does the minister want the villain to serve you, the villain doesn't know, I guess he was asked by someone, as for the origin of these two bowls of rice. The soldier said: "The good man does not know that there was a plague in the prison camp, and to prevent it, it is necessary to eat two bowls of such things, which everyone must eat. β
"Is it Wu Song who asked the old official camp?" Li Kui thought of Wu Song for the first time.
Jun Han took the opportunity to say: "It seems that I have heard from the minister in charge of the camp that an official surnamed Wu has correspondence with him. β
Li Kui listened, there was no doubt about him, anyway, there were two people washing his feet, he was enjoying it, he was not a person who twisted, he ate two bowls of rice in a few bites, "This rice is really strange, the master usually eats ten bowls of rice and is not as full as these two bowls of rice." β
"Hero, the gambling house is open, are you still going?" Before the military man could answer, a head stuck in.
Li Kui was not so happy when he heard that the gambling house was open, even if the old mother came, he immediately lifted his pants full of silver and ran out.
He followed the man to the outside of the prison camp, "Well, this is not the right way, I didn't take this road last night. β
"Hero, I don't know, the gambling house you went to last night was opened at night, and the one you went to at this moment is opened during the day, called the Xudu Gambling House!"
"That's the case, it's just a strange name, how can it be called the Xudu Gambling House.....? Oops!" Li Kuizheng said, his feet empty, and he fell into a pit.
