Chapter 45: The Golden and Silver Birds
Saying this, Boss Su trembled again, and cowered in the corner and didn't dare to move.
Everyone teased Boss Su for the time being, and then the county order and the master returned to the back hall, and the county order took the master to the study, closed the window, and locked the door.
The county commander bowed deeply to the master: "Master, we are in trouble, what should we do?"
The master asked rhetorically, "What should I do according to my lord's wishes?"
The county order said: "Release them from prison and treat them politely, especially to that Han Jiangliu, you must be treated as guests, otherwise my official position may not be guaranteed." ”
The master said, "I'm afraid that won't work!"
The county magistrate asked, "Why not?"
The master pondered for a while, and said: "I have already imprisoned them in the prison, and then release them, don't want the one surnamed Han, who may despise the adult from the heart, do you say yes? Besides, the adult is in the lobby today, and the process of investigating the case has been seen by the kid surnamed Han, if he returns to the capital, in front of his father, and says something bad about you, then you will not have a good result either." ”
"That's true, but then I don't have an idea, you are the master, you must help me think of a good way. ”
The master said, "For the sake of today, the only thing you can do is not to stop doing it, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and take them out—" Speaking of this, the master made a chopping motion with the palm of his hand, "Deal with them on the spot in prison." ”
The county magistrate hesitated a little and said, "Even killing the prince of the court, I'm afraid it can't be justified!"
The master said: "The amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband, if the adult does not make up his mind early, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles." ”
The county magistrate slapped the table and said resolutely: "Okay, just do it! I'll leave this matter to you!"
The master was just about to say "yes", but the county order said, "Wait, I'll do this myself." ”
The county magistrate said to the master: "You must keep the secret for me." ”
The master said: "This is natural, the adult's business is my business." ”
The county order asked the master to go down and rest first. Then the county magistrate returned to the back hall, pushed open the corner door of the garden, and walked to a small room next to it, which was his secret room, and there were a lot of unsightly things in it, and the county magistrate found a small box from it, which was full of poisons, and there were all kinds of poisons, liquid, solid, powder, and everything. The county magistrate found a packet of medicinal powder, and if this medicinal powder was mixed into the diet, it would be colorless and tasteless, so that the person who ate it would die unknowingly after seven days, and no cause of death could be found.
The idea of the county order was: mix these powdered poisons in the diet for Han Jiangliu and others, and then release Han Jiangliu and others from the prison, and seven days later, these people have already gone to an unknown place.
How pitiful their death is, it has nothing to do with themselves. So easily dispensed with a big worry, why not!
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but laugh secretly in my heart, and I seemed to forget that this was a murder case.
The magistrate left the secret room, locked the door, came out of the garden, and when he reached the main entrance, he met his youngest son, who was six years old, naughty and cute, and unusually delicate.
The child said, "Daddy, what are you doing?"
The county magistrate said, "I'm going to do something." ”
The child said, "What are you holding in your hand?" and the child saw the powder medicine bag in the county commander's hand.
"Oh, this one, it's pastry!"
"I'm going to eat pastry. ”
"No, I can't. The prefectural magistrate couldn't help but take a step backwards and almost dropped the medicine bag on the ground.
"No, I want to eat pastries! Daddy, you can give me food, let me do whatever I want." As he spoke, the child reached out and grabbed it.
This action frightened the county order, pushed his little son away, and ran out in three steps and two steps, not caring that his son was crying in a hurry behind him.
When the county magistrate arrived at the prison, the head of the cell was an old man, bent over and hunched over, and when he saw the county magistrate coming in person, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and said, "My lord, why did you come to this place in person?"
The prefectural order said, "Oh, I'll come and see." He looked around and said, "Nothing unexpected these days, have you?"
"Nothing happened, and the new inmates were very honest. My lord, don't worry about me watching you here. ”
The county magistrate said: "Well, you are an old man here, and I am naturally relieved to have you." He took out his pocket, handed it to the cell boss, and said, "I'll leave this to you." ”
The cell boss asked, "What is this?"
The county magistrate said: "If you put this thing in the meals of the prisoners who just came today, it will be considered your great achievement." ”
The old man thought for a moment and said, "My lord, this is, this is poison!"
The county magistrate was noncommittal, saying: "As long as you get things done, this official will be rewarded." ”
The cell boss said: "This is a murderous thing, I don't dare, what if someone finds out?"
The county order said: "What is the blue sky and daylight, no one knows if you secretly do it at night, besides, I have the final say in this county." I don't hold you accountable, who else dares to hold you accountable. ”
The old man had no choice but to take the powder medicine bag in his hand, trembling, he had never done such a hurtful thing.
The county magistrate patted him on the shoulder, said, "I'll wait for your good news tomorrow," and turned to leave.
The cell boss hesitated for a while, and for the sake of his own future, he decided to do it anyway.
In the evening, when it was time to deliver food to the prisoners, he first brought the food boxes, put the poison in the dishes, mixed well, and then went to the prison himself, saying, "It's time to eat, it's good for today." ”
Boss Su was hungry for a long time, and said, "Give me some food, I'm starving, I've never been so hungry." ”
The county order did not let the cell boss kill Boss Su, and of course the cell boss did not poison Boss Su's dishes. He handed the one that was not poisonous to Boss Su and said, "It's yours, eat it!"
Boss Su said, "Why is the color of my dish different from theirs? ”
The cell boss listened amusefully and thought, how do you know?
Then the cell boss handed the food boxes to Han Jiangliu and said, "These are the four of you." ”
Zhou Kang said: "I have been hungry for a long time, and I will starve to death if I don't eat anymore!"
Over there, Boss Su said, "Are you so thin and hungry?"
Zhou Kang said: "What does it have to do with being hungry or not and being fat and thin?"
Boss Su said: "Yes, the fatter you are, the easier it is to get hungry." ”
Zhou Kang said: "You are heresy. ”
Boss Su tilted his neck and stared at Zhou Kang and said. Why do you have so much meat in this food box, let's change it. ”
"I don't change. ”
Boss Su said, "Let's change it." ”
Zhou Kang said, "Can you stop being so inky?"
Jing Xiaoxian said: "Boss Su, you are really annoying, it's annoying outside, and it's still so annoying to go into prison." It's weird, how did you grow so big?"
"You eat slowly, and I'll come and clean up the dishes in a moment." ”
Huaizhong said to Han Jiangliu: "General Han, this old man is very strange. ”
"What's weird?"
Huaizhong said: "Be very polite to us, but in the morning, it was very fierce." ”
Han Jiangliu nodded, thinking: "A person who is usually fierce suddenly becomes kind-hearted, it may be that he is about to do something worse." ”
The food that Zhou Kang held in his hand was indeed very rich, there was a plate of meat, a plate of vegetarian dishes, and even a small pot of wine, and Zhou Kang first took a fancy to rice.
"I'll eat this first," Zhou Kang swept away a bowl of rice.
He was a thin man, but he ate a lot.
Zhou Kang picked up the plate of meat again, this plate of meat was mixed with poison, Zhou Kang took a big bite with chopsticks, and the dishes were already to his lips.
Jing Xiaoxian said, "Don't eat it yet." ”
"Why?"
Han Jiangliu whispered: "Beware of poison. ”
Zhou Kang said: "No. ”
Han Jiangliu said: "Very good. ”
Zhou Kang said: "Don't you really believe in this Qingtian Lord?"
Han Jiangliu said: "It seems that he doesn't want us to get out alive." ”
Zhou Kang said, "Hey, Boss Su, let's change, you eat me." As he spoke, he handed over the food in front of him.
Boss Su didn't hear their conversation just now, he didn't know that the dish was poisonous, and he was going to eat it when he picked up the chopsticks.
The cell boss saw it and hurriedly said, "Boss Su, you can't eat it!" The cell boss didn't want Boss Su to die, because this boss Su was usually in the county, and he had a good relationship with these cell bosses, and he always gave gifts to these people during the New Year's holidays, so that he could be taken care of if he did something wrong.
At this moment, the cell boss quickly walked over and knocked Boss Su's chopsticks to the ground, Boss Su was startled, and the plate of meat also fell to the ground.
Boss Su asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
In this way, Han Jiangliu, Zhou Kang, Jing Xiaoxian, and Huaizhong were even more sure that this dish was poisonous, and tomorrow they saw wisps of white smoke coming out of the dish on the ground, which showed that it was indeed highly poisonous.
None of them were in the mood to eat anymore, and they didn't dare to eat it, so they sat there trying to figure out a way, and everyone didn't say a word for a long time.
How to escape is indeed a problem, even if this meal is not killed by the county order, then the next meal is possible.
If you don't eat all the time, you'll starve to death sooner or later.
Zhou Kang said: "General Han, it's all up to you now, you have to think of a way."
Han Jiangliu said: "I'll go to see the county order." ”
Jing Xiaoxian said, "I'll go and get the head of that dog official." ”
Huaizhong said, "How do we get out?"
Jing Xiaoxian said: "Call the gold and silver birds." ”
"Calling the Golden and Silver Birds?" everyone didn't understand what Jing Xiaoxian meant when he said this?
"Although the golden and silver bird is small, it is extremely intelligent and can also have a heart-to-heart relationship with its owner. She said to Zhou Kang: "Brother Zhou Kang, you are now the owner of the gold and silver bird, you sit here, meditate with your heart, and then the gold and silver bird will fly here." ”
