A cadre of soldiers was angry and hated Hu Buwei for hurting people, and took special care of him when he was whipped, and the tortured soldier opened his eyes and whipped him on his waist. Hu Buwei smoked and cried for his father and called his mother, fainted and woke up, woke up and fainted. After being whipped for more than two hours, Hu Buwei was already dying, his clothes were in tatters, and his thin body was covered with whip marks. The soldiers did not regret it, and whipped his legs to the flesh, and a basin of cold water doused him to wake him up, and put both of them in prison and kicked them in. Little Charcoal threw a jailer onto the haystack.

Since Hu Buwei was born, how could he have encountered such a setback? The life of a prisoner in prison is cheaper than that of an ant, and he really realized it at this time.

Prostrated in the rotting straw, Hu Buwei fainted a few more times. From the neck down, it seems that the body is no longer his own, the pain in the wound is numb, and the burning and cold sensation alternately hits the mind, and the whole body is like being placed in a furnace of ice and fire to endure torment. After the afternoon, the jailers did not come to Luo again.

When it was nearly dusk, Hu Buwei relieved his breath and cleared his mind a little. When he raised his eyes and looked around, he saw Hu Tan's big red swaddling clothes half-sunk in the straw, crawled over in great pain, and held his son in his arms. Suddenly, I heard a 'squeak' sound in my ears. A yellow mass flew down from the roof of the prison, standing on all fours, but it was the mother monkey with a dead child.

The old man who played the monkey leaned his back against the corner and clapped his hands again and again to greet the monkey. He was also whipped a few times, but it was much lighter than Hu Buwei, and it did not hinder his movements. When he entered the prison, he saw the monkey sitting on the top and screaming, so he whistled and lured it down. It's just that the mother monkey saw the tragic death of the little monkey, and she was even more afraid of people, and she still hesitated and refused to step forward in the face of the master's call.

Hu Buwei sighed, being in an extraordinary situation, this beast could not escape the suffering. Like the prisoners in prison, they were poisoned and despised by others, but they didn't even have a chance to resist. Although the monkey is stupid, he expects that the grief of losing his beloved child will not be much less than that of a human. Listening to its poignant cry, its voice was low, as if it was crying to the old man. Hu Buwei felt a sense of sympathy for the same disease in his heart, looked down at his son, and saw that the new tears on both sides of Xiao Hu Tan's cheeks had not dried, and he had fallen asleep again.

Hu Buwei felt pity in his heart, stroked the child's cheeks, and his tentacles burned like coals. Knowing that the cold had already attacked, he was frightened and anxious, but he could not move at this moment, how could he have a plan to save his son's life?

I don't know how many hours have passed. Outside the prison door, a gong sounded again, and a jailer shouted in a hoarse voice: "It's time to be careful!" Hu Buwei smiled bitterly in his heart, at this moment, he had no power to pull out the weeds, and he had no ability to move an inch, but how could he resist the attacks of the ghosts? It seems that tonight is really the day when the Hu family will be wiped out. For a while, I was sad in my heart, but in the despair, there was a hint of joy. The suffering of the world is like this, demons and monsters are rampant, and bad people and bullies are in charge, but it is not something that he can do leisurely with his people. It's better to go to the spring earlier, after saying goodbye to my beloved wife for so long, she must be lonely underground......

I thought about it for a while, sad and self-pitying, and tragic. I don't know that many times have passed, and there has been no movement in the prison at all. Several torches crackled and burned, and there was no sign of being blown by the wind. Hu Buwei was puzzled: Could it be that the ghost masters have a drinking party today, and they can't be on duty to scare the prisoners for the time being? After another half an hour, the rest of the prisoners also noticed the abnormality, and they all whispered about it, and in fear, they dared to set their eyes on the torture chamber. Those unjustly killed ghosts have always been extremely punctual, and they come out to kill people and kill people every day as soon as they arrive at Shen You's friendship. Who would have thought that they would not show up on time today, which is really surprising.

The hour passed by minute by minute, and everyone in the prison listened with bated breath. The crackling of the candles and the dripping of water were unusually clear in the silence. Everyone is puzzled, but they don't know where it came from. Could it be that the ghosts saw that yesterday's death was unfavorable, and they stopped harassing everyone? Or did Xijing stay behind and find a powerful mage and subdue them? The clever prisoner couldn't help but feel uplifted when he thought of this section, and whispered his thoughts to his neighbors. In just an instant, one to ten, ten to hundred, everyone knows the reason why the ghosts don't come. Originally, it was just speculation, but it was passed on several times, and by the time Hu Buwei was in prison, it had become an ironclad fact, and the speaker's eyebrows fluttered, and his words were conclusive, as if the unjust souls had told them in person.

However, whatever the truth. The goblins really didn't come back that night. The prisoners stayed up all night with mixed joys and sorrows, until the sound of chains twitching outside the door, and the voice of the jailer came from outside the door, and they could not help but cheer in unison, and many jumped up from the ground and clapped their hands in celebration. Some people wept with joy and bowed to the ground.

Without the constant threat of the goblins' deaths, the cell doesn't look so boring. It is better to die than to live, to be able to not die, and to be able to endure any suffering.

Hu Buwei resisted all night, and finally survived until the jailer arrived, and he couldn't help but be full of joy, his mind was slackened, and he fell down and wept. Although I was full of death last night, I was still unwilling in the end. He still has to teach his son to become a man, how can he die so easily when he sees his son grow up?

Several jailers heard the commotion in the prison, and they did not know what to do, and scolded one after another: "What are you arguing about? Have you found gold? ! You can still laugh when you are locked up like this, what a cheap bone!" The prisoners escaped from death, and they did not care about his evil words, and each looked at each other and grinned. If there are no more ghosts and monsters from now on, and there are more evil words and bad words every day, then what is it!

The jailers shouted repression and threatened not to give them food. After tossing for nearly half an hour, he finally shocked all the prisoners and began his daily routine inspection and cleanup. When they saw that there was nothing unusual in the prison, and that there were no prisoners killed as before, they were all surprised. When he was about to interrogate, he heard the voices of people outside the prison door, and several sergeants on duty at the gate saluted in panic: "Good morning, Lord Chen!" "Lord Chen!" It turned out that Lord Chen, who was left behind in Xijing, had come to the cell in person.

One of the officials raised his voice and shouted, "The left-behind adults will check the prison—" The voice came through the wooden door, and all the prisoners in the prison heard it, and there was a commotion. Regardless of men, women, and children, they rose up in unison, rushed to the side of the prison pillar to seize their position and shouted grievances.

Six or seven jailers walked in with a few people in their arms. Smelling the foul smell of the cell, everyone covered their noses and frowned. Under the jumping firelight, everyone saw the face of the left-behind adults clearly, but he was in his forties, his face was clear, his expression was cold and stern, and he wore an official uniform, which increased his momentum. There were two people standing beside him, one of them in a splendid flower robe, with a peaceful and wealthy face. The other is an old man, thin as a skeleton, with a white beard under his jaw like autumn grass, sparse but light.

Hu Buwei lay on the grass and couldn't move, and he didn't know who came. I could hear the prison chiefs crying and shouting injustice, but they couldn't hold back a long breath to shout, and they couldn't stop being depressed. If he couldn't grasp this good opportunity to get out of prison, he was afraid that he would never have a chance again in the future, so in a panic, he endured the pain of stripping his flesh and bones, and struggled to prop up half of his body, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Wronged, sir, wronged!" His voice was low and hoarse, and he could not be heard in the loud cries of the prisoners.

At this moment, the thin and stiff old man shouted, "Doctor Hu! Are you in prison?" Hu Buwei was ecstatic in his heart, this was the voice of Old Lady Su! He came to save himself from prison! He straightened his neck and shouted: "I'm here! I'm here!"

However, the cries of the prisoners were too noisy, how could this low cry be heard? Old Lady Su couldn't hear the answer, so she called again. Su Yuanwai also shouted: "Doctor Hu, are you here? If you are here, please reply!" Hu Buwei burst into tears and opened his mouth to shout: "I'm here!" In the panic, he waved his right arm and slammed the ground, hoping that the sound would attract their attention.

Seeing the chaos of the scene, several jailers approached the prison and shouted, "Quiet, all quiet!" and raised wooden sticks to threaten. It's just that all the prisoners know that this is the best opportunity to rehabilitate Zhaoxue, and they refuse to flinch even if they are injured, and everyone screams hoarsely, just hoping that the left-behind adults will hear their grievances and release themselves. For a while, the prison was chaotic and undulating, as if thousands of people were shouting and crying, and the little sound that Hu Buwei tossed was instantly caught in this sea of noise.

Old lady Su screamed for a while, but couldn't hear a response, and felt quite disappointed in her heart. asked the boy in Tsing Yi beside him, "Do you really see that it is Doctor Hu?" The boy hesitated and replied: "The scene was chaotic that day, there were many people, and I saw many people holding knives and guns against Mr. Hu...... I remember his face...... He wears a purple robe......"

"Purple robe?" Su Buyu on the side frowned and said, "Why did Mr. Hu wear a purple robe......?" I don't know......" Under the doubts of everyone, he didn't dare to believe what he saw.

It turned out that this young man in Tsing Yi was the servant boy of Su Mansion. Yesterday, I went to the vicinity of the government to comprador goods, but I happened to see Liu Gen escape from prison with the two of them, breaking through the wall and escaping. The other person was small and short, and he saw from the gap between the legs of everyone outside the wall that Hu Buwei was taken down by the soldiers, and his face was vaguely the miracle doctor who saved Mrs. Su, and he reported it when he returned to the mansion. Mrs. Su was shocked, and sent someone to the yamen to negotiate that day, but she didn't know that the left-behind adults went out on business at noon and didn't come back until the evening. The left-behind adults were afraid of being hurt by ghosts, so they made an excuse to delay until this morning before accompanying them into the prison to find someone.

The old lady Su was originally a sue to the old Beijing official, and had a teacher-student friendship with Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the dynasty, and how dare he slack off when he saw his worship post left behind in Xijing? As soon as he got up in the morning, he hurriedly prepared a sedan chair and wanted to go to the Su Mansion to ask for guilt, but the old lady Su was extremely uneasy, so he asked Su Yuanwai to accompany him to the yamen in the morning, and went to the cell to ask for someone together. When he was in office, he was known for his uprightness, and he not only received the grace of Hu Buwei's life, but also knew that he was not a treasure thief, and of course he could not tolerate him being wrongfully imprisoned.

Seeing the little boy's hesitation at the moment, Lord Chen smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's the child who sees it badly." There are many people and they are far away, and they can't see it really. Old Lady Su was silent, and suddenly said, "Master Chen, can you find me the people who escaped from prison yesterday?" Lord Chen was stunned, pondered for a moment, his face was quite embarrassed, and replied: "The old lady's orders, the lower officials didn't dare to disobey, but they just ...... Just ......"

Old lady Su said: "If Lord Chen has any difficulties, please say it directly." Master Chen said: "The old lady has always been only in Beijing, but I am afraid that I still don't know the habits in the prison in this place...... Once someone dares to break away from prison and do something rebellious, he can be killed on the spot. If someone really escaped from prison yesterday, I am afraid that they would have been corrected on the spot long ago. He turned to several jailers and asked, "Did you kill the prisoner yesterday and where did you bury it?"

The jailers didn't know what they meant? They hurriedly replied: "Back to my lordship, yesterday there were indeed people who escaped from prison and injured many of our brothers, and their subordinates have already killed them according to the regulations, and their bodies have been incinerated. "Although I don't know why the left-behind adults want to hide the facts, it is the general rule of officialdom to speak according to the will of the above, who is willing to risk their lives to tell the truth?

Old lady Su sighed, took a few steps closer to the cage, and inspected the prisoners in the prison by the light of the torch, causing a lot of injustice.

Hu Buwei vaguely heard their conversation, suffering from speechlessness, unable to move, and crying in a hurry. It's just that at this moment, his throat is damaged, and his crying voice is weaker than that of the child in the prison next door.

The people in Su Mansion were unsuccessful in looking for people, and they felt quite frustrated. Old lady Su arched his hand to Lord Chen and said, "Lord Chen is busy with official business, and the old man is really ashamed to bother with these miscellaneous things, and I hope Lord Chen will not be surprised." Master Chen smiled and said: "Where is the old lady, who does not admire the old lady's behavior as an official in the court? Although the lower officials are often outside Beijing, they have also admired the old lady for a long time. It's a great blessing to be able to do some errands for you today, so why bother?"

Old lady Su said: "The award has passed, the award has passed, so I will leave today, and in the future, the old man will rectify the family banquet and apologize to Lord Chen, and then Lord Chen must come." Master Chen said: "Don't dare, don't dare, definitely, definitely!" smiled and stretched out his hand to give way, asking Mrs. Su to go first.

Hu Buwei heard that the savior was about to leave, he was furious, and after screaming a few times to no avail, he hated the fire, and a mouthful of blood arrows spewed out, sprinkling a bright red on the ground. The old man who played the monkey had seen him in a strange state before, and he had been paying attention to him for a long time, and when he saw him vomiting blood in anger, he probably didn't know the hidden secret. Without hesitation, he reached out to cover his mouth and stroked it, jumped up, rushed to the side of the prison post and slapped the wood and shouted: "Wait a minute! Please stay! Wait a minute!"

At this moment, Hu Buwei felt a burst of coldness spread, and goosebumps rose all over his body. Suddenly, the temperature in this prison plummeted, and it was like a cold wind. At the same time, the fear and panic are uncontrollable, and they hit the heart, as if they subconsciously perceived something dangerous, and people couldn't help but be dissatisfied and vigilant. This kind of situation is really unprecedented in my life. In a panic and confusion, he heard the old man shouting, "Doctor Hu is here! Doctor Hu is here!" The old man's voice was huge, and his voice spread far away, covering the shouts of all the prisoners.

Lord Chen didn't expect that there would be branches at this juncture, and his face was stiff and discolored for a while, but he couldn't stop it. Old lady Su stopped when she heard the sound and returned to Hu Buwei's cage. The old man who played the monkey quickly covered his mouth and hid in the corner again. Hu Buwei and his fellow prisoners felt that the pressure weakened, and the cold meaning disappeared in an instant.

Several people rushed to the prison pillar, and saw a person in the prison lying on the grass with blood stains, turning his face stained with plaster, his face full of pain and happiness, but it was not who was Divine Doctor Hu?

Lord Chen's face turned pale, and he shouted to his subordinates: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you invite Mr. Hu out quickly! A bunch of rice buckets!" He had already made up his mind in an instant, if he really made Old Lady Su angry, he couldn't say anything, so he had to take a few jailers to take the blame.

Several jailers hurriedly opened the lock of the prison and rushed forward to pick up Hu Buwei, and Xiao Hu Tan also had two jailers competing for hugs. Su Yuanwai stepped forward to hold Hu Buwei's hand and shouted, "Mr. Hu, you have suffered. Hu Buwei burst into tears, he couldn't imagine that the good retribution would come so early, if it weren't for the heart of trying to save people that day, it would be difficult to escape the sea of suffering today. Skynet is magnificent, although it is negligent, good and evil really get their rewards.

A few people cautiously dragged the Hu family's father and son out. At this moment, I heard the panicked sound of the monkey in the prison, and the cry was extremely miserable. The old man who played the monkey shouted: "Mr. Hu stay, please stay!" Everyone turned around and saw that the old man was holding the monkey and pressing it fiercely, and the body of one person and one monkey was stained with blood. Somehow, the monkey seemed to be very afraid of his master at this moment, squeaked and wailed, and kept twisting and opening his teeth, biting the old man's arms full of wounds, and ten thin fingers scratching the old man's face with a trace of blood.

Hu Buwei was taken aback, but grateful for his help, he asked the two jailers to carry him back to the prison to listen to him. The old man hugged the female monkey tightly, ignoring its struggles and bites, and looked at Master Su and the others with a pair of eyes, as if he had something to say, but he was embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he finally made up his mind and said to Hu Buwei: "Mr. Hu, this beast is wild and untamed, I am afraid that it will hurt people if it stays in prison, please take it out and release it." Hu Buwei was stunned, he didn't expect him to make such a request, so he nodded and agreed.

The old man beckoned: "Sir, please come here, I will tell you the way to deal with it, or it will hurt you." Hu Buwei approached according to his words, and turned his ear over, but heard the old man lower his voice and said: "Don't speak, listen to me, please help me bring the monkey to Yongzhou Jiqing Village, and return it to the village chief, tens of thousands, thank you, sir!" Hu Buwei was puzzled in his heart, and when he was about to speak, the old man waved his hand to stop him, and said loudly: "Sir, don't be afraid, the monkey will be quiet when you go out." He untied the straw rope around his waist, tied the monkey's neck, and handed it to Hu Buwei.

Hu Buwei saw that he even made a look, and his words were quite mysterious, knowing that something was wrong, he didn't dare to ask more at the moment, took the rope, turned around, and walked out of the door with everyone in Sufu. The old man seemed to have a big deal, and his face showed joy. But after a while, it seemed that he thought of his situation again, and slowly turned into a sad expression.

The crowd, led by the jailer, went out through the corridor. As soon as the morning sun hung over the trees, a few orioles called gently, and it was an excellent spring morning. Along the way, Lord Chen couldn't help but blame himself, claiming that he must strictly deal with the culprit of the private arrest of good people, such lawlessness is really the source of chaos and the bad horse of the black herd. If it is not punished properly, it will only affect the prestige of the government among the people.

Hu Buwei listened to what he said, and suddenly remembered that Qian Deputy Dutong came, if this left-behind Lord Chen really promised to severely punish those who violated discipline, I am afraid that the future days of Lord Dutong will be a little not good, I don't know what kind of miserable appearance Qian Fat Man will be when he is beaten with a military stick for sixty sticks. After gloating, he suddenly remembered that his Linglong Town nails and all the things he needed were still in the hands of the fat man! If he left like this, he would not come back in the future. Shocked, he hurriedly shouted: "Ahh

After hearing what he had said, Master Chen's face turned angry, and he shouted to the officials beside him, "Is Qian Wanzhong here? A servant replied: "The deputy capital lord was plotted by Jiang Yang thieves the day before yesterday, and it seems that he is taking leave at home to recuperate." Another official said, "Lord Qian seems to have come, and in the morning I heard him ask his men to go down to buy pig's head meat and drink......

Lord Chen roared angrily: "Then what are you talking about?! Tie him up quickly!"

Su Yuanwai hurriedly smiled and comforted: "Why is Lord Chen so angry, now Xijing is in chaos, and it is thanks to the full protection of all the adults to keep it safe." Mr. Qian is busy with official business, so there is a slight misunderstanding, and it doesn't matter, so let's just talk about it. He turned his head to the two officials and said, "Trouble the two of you to invite Master Qian over, it's hard work." The official took the order.

After a while, Qian Deputy Dutong followed. limping, alternating red and white on the fat face. Obviously, the two officials told him everything that had happened, and they knew that the imprisoning of Hu Buwei had made Old Lady Su and the left-behind adults angry, so they were naturally panicked.

Under Lord Chen's harsh words, Vice President Qian still had the previous arrogant atmosphere, and he was as silent as a cicada, and he didn't dare to come out. Hu Buwei was very happy when he saw that the fat man also had such a nest. Secretly laughing, his stomach twitched, and the wounds on his body ached, and he made a strange gesture of grinning his teeth and wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

Under the persuasion of Su Yuanwai, Lord Chen finally accepted the reprimand. The fat man was ordered to get all the things that were not done for him back as soon as possible. Deputy Qian didn't dare to slack off, turned around immediately, and ran towards the secret room as if flying. This time his heart was in a hurry, and his sick leg was cured without medicine, and he ran like the wind, no less than a person with sound legs.

Under the supervision and high pressure of the chief, Deputy Qian Dutong was extremely efficient, and he packed Hu Buwei's bags with just a cup of tea. Nails, books, jade plates, along with two black-skinned things, and a few yellow talismans, were not missed. After Hu Buwei inspected it, he said, "Okay, everything is complete." Seeing that there was some water in a wooden barrel next to the prison door, he didn't hesitate at the moment, took out two talismans, and shook them in the wind. The aura passed through his fingers and entered the talisman, and a flame burst out, half of which burned off, and Hu Buwei threw the talisman paper into the wooden barrel.

And they did not understand what he wanted, and they looked at him with their eyes open, and did not speak. Seeing that Hu Buwei was holding water with both hands, he fed it to Hu Tan's mouth, and ate some more. The Tranquility Rune was originally extremely fast in healing injuries, and this time it was even faster to heal the wounds when Hu Buwei's skills were greatly improved. Seeing that Hu Buwei's bruises on his hands and feet were shrinking and fading little by little, and the wounds that bloomed on his face were quickly closed, and only a pale red scar remained after a while, everyone was very surprised, and dozens of pairs of eyes were so wide that they were about to break through the eye sockets and fall down.

Especially Lord Chen and Qian Fatzi, they never expected that this middle-aged man who looked languishing and embarrassed would have such a practical study, and they were shocked. Qian Fatzi is even more convinced of Hu Buwei's self-proclaimed identity as a ghost and god.

With a cup of hot tea, the medicinal power of the spirit rune penetrated Hu Buwei's whole body, and under the warm current and entanglement, the large and small wounds were almost calmed, and the movement was no longer hindered. It's a pity that the scar on Xiao Hu Tan's head is too deep, and it has been delayed, and the fixing talisman only stopped his pain and fever, and in the end it still left a small scar between his eyebrows.

Su Yuanwai hugged Hu Tan over, rubbed the scars on his forehead with his fingers, and sighed: "The little boy is still so young, but he has experienced a lot of hardships, it is really unbelievable. However, the ancients said that after the catastrophe, the great fortune followed, presumably Hu Tan Hu Gongzi must be an extraordinary person in the future, I don't know whether it is Xiang Wen or Xiang Wu, whether it is a great hero or a peerless genius who writes and inks. ”

Hu Buwei listened to what he said well, and his heart was happy, Master Su is a person who has seen the world, and what he said will never be wrong. If the son really has such a brilliant time in the future, what can be said about the hardships he has encountered in the past few days? Only with this comment of Master Su, the sorrow of the broken family and the loss of people encountered in the past six months or so and the suffering of displacement are already in vain. Excited, he thought to himself, should it be better to let his son learn spells with him? Or let him learn more sage books? It is good to be a master of spells all over the world, but in comparison, in the future, Hu Tan's name will be on the gold list, ranking among the top three, and he will return to Dingma Village with a drum team to praise the officials, and let the old Hu family raise his eyebrows and glorify his ancestors.

After being upside down for a while, Hu Buwei's heart was full of heat. I just wish that Xiao Hu Tan would grow up quickly, how to learn how to compose poetry, and how to shake the world, so that he can also grow face.

Lord Chen sent everyone outside the door to say goodbye. Hu Buwei was planning his son's future in his heart, and he didn't listen to what he said. When his eyes wandered, he cast on the stone lion outside the yamen.

The carving of the two stone lions is excellent, and the statue of one person is more than one high, and the outline is appropriate, and the mighty demeanor is complete. One left and one right, looking at each other, guarding the yamen compound from being invaded by external evils. However, what shocked Hu Buwei was that these two lions were not white, but black! The old liar in the teahouse really didn't lie!

On closer inspection, from the hydrangea under the lion's feet upwards, the ink color of the whole statue changes from light to thick, and the five toes are clearly still gray and white, which can see the original color of the stone. But when it reached the chest, it had turned dark gray, and when it reached the head, it was even blacker than ink. Above the fangs, there was a vicious black, reflecting the greasy light.

After all, the liar is in the feng shui scene, how can he not know the strangeness? The stone lion was originally a spiritual creature to ward off evil spirits, and it was extremely powerful, but now it seems that these two lions have obviously been invaded by evil spirits, and the evil black color has dyed the original gray stone like this.

Just when Hu Buwei frequently turned his head in surprise, he found something even more strange. I don't know if I'm dazzled, after a few comparisons, the gray and black color on the stone lion's body suddenly turned from dark to light, there were still a few points of white on the original toe, and now it seems that the range of white has expanded to the chest!

Hu Buwei was stunned, what kind of strange thing is this? Could it be that the two lions actually have spirituality? Will they change on their own? For a while, he opened his mouth and pointed at the lion and said "hey".

Master Su and the others didn't know what was going on, and when they saw him like this, they were puzzled, but Lord Chen followed his direction and saw the lion change, and Huo Ran's color changed.
