Chapter 16: Mizhi's Cell
Just when they were concentrating on training and rapidly improving their strength, there was a person who was really worried about one thing. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this person is Zhao Xiangen, the head of the Ya Catcher in Mizhi County.
Zhao Xiangen is twenty-seven years old this year, eight feet long, boxy face, the family has been in Mizhi County since his grandfather, and it is further in the hands of his father, his father is also a ruthless and capable person, 20 years ago, his father framed the former head catcher, and then killed the head catcher in prison, he became the head catcher, 12 years ago he got the fifteen-year-old Zhao Xiangen into the county government as a catcher, seven years ago after the body was not good enough to go to the door of the county order at that time, let Zhao Xiangen take over. This Zhao Xiangen has been in the rivers and lakes all the year round, and has also served as the head catcher in Mizhi County for many years, so he has a ruthless energy. To say that the line of catching fast in the ancient dynasty basically belongs to cheap servitude, you can say that he is a law enforcer, you can also say that they are hooligans, the Ming Dynasty's fast catching does not belong to the establishment of the imperial court, the entire county government, the people who eat the emperor's grain are only a few people in the strict sense, such as the county order and county Cheng, the rest of the people all belong to miscellaneous labor, he has no salary to catch fast, the county order will give them a certain amount of subsidies, his main income is extortion and scraping the land, a person into the county government, whether you fight a lawsuit or a lawsuit, Or find someone to do something, you must first feed these fast catchers, if you don't give them money, you can't do anything at all, as the so-called imperial court yamen is open, there is no reason to come in, they are these fast catchers live on these black money, rely on these black money to support their families, plus they also have to do some unsightly things for the county order, after all, the county order also has to scrape the ground, so they have to go through the hands of the fast, it is precisely because the fast catch is dedicated to doing something that lacks morality, so their social status is very low, Their reputation is very stinky, and because they do something that lacks morality and insults Sven, so their descendants can't take the imperial examination, even if he doesn't catch fast, his descendants can't take the imperial examination within three generations, so many people look down on them, of course, they look down on them, and the people can't afford to provoke him, you must know that the arrest is a minion of the imperial court, and he has the right to arrest and interrogate people, so if you provoke him, he can just have a reason to arrest you to the county jail and torture you, In the end, you will be released, and you can only consider yourself unlucky, so for the common people, catching fast is a lowly and powerful position, although he belongs to the lowly servitude, but ordinary people can't afford to provoke him.
Zhao Xiangen is worried about the disappearance of Zhao Tieniu, to say that this Zhao Tieniu is also blessed, married a good wife, in the past, this Zhao Tieniu scolded his wife, and the same is true for his mother-in-law, since his mother-in-law and Zhao Xiangen recognized each other, of course he didn't dare to fight anymore, let alone fight, it was too late to please, so he all pointed to this relationship and lived. To say that his wife is still the original match, after Zhao Tieniu disappeared, his concubine ignored him, but his original wife couldn't sit still, and asked his mother to come to Zhao Xiangen, Zhao Xiangen was helpless, after all, she was his own nurse, so he took Zhao Tieniu's matter down, to say that according to Zhao Xiangen's temper, this Zhao Tieniu is not as good as dead, what's the use of living? When he first recognized the nurse, watching the nurse being beaten, Zhao Xiangen was about to beat this Zhao Tieniu to death at that time, but his mother-in-law and his original wife interceded, so he was left with a small life.
"Did he recruit it?" Zhao Xiangen asked.
"He hasn't recruited yet, his bones are quite hard, head, I guess he won't admit his guilt if he doesn't let him try our guy." A follower said flatteringly.
"It's really a cheap bone, and you won't look back until you die. Anyway, it's okay right now, so I'll ask him personally. Zhao Xiangen said.
So Zhao Xiangen came to the prison cell of the county government, opened the prison door, and a rancid smell came to his face, and Zhao Xian was able to cover his nose. There are more than 20 large and small rooms in the cell, the large room is about 15 planes, the inside is clean, there is a small wooden bed, a small rectangular wooden table, two chairs, there is a toilet in the corner, and there is a round window the size of a football on the wall for ventilation. The small room is about five or six planes, and there is nothing in it, and eating, drinking, and sleeping are all solved in these five or six planes, which is of course for the flat-headed people. There were a dozen prisoners in the cell, all crammed into three small rooms, and these prisoners were languishing, with no hope in their eyes and feeling lifeless.
Zhao Xiangen didn't bother to look at them, and went straight to the special torture room, this room has about thirty planes, there is a Taishi chair on the north side, and a prisoner is hung with a rope on the south side, and the east and west sides are full of torture tools, such as wooden donkeys, broken finger clips, soldering iron sheets, ox tendon whips, tiger chairs, pointed head stools, head crushers, iron rakes, iron brushes, bamboo sticks, etc., each torture instrument is dyed crimson with blood, which makes people shudder. It is said that this inconspicuous bamboo stick, if the prisoner does not recruit, he will take one end of the bamboo stick tip to pierce the prisoner's nails, and the other end is slapped hard with an iron plate, the pain of drilling the heart is enough to make people collapse, and the prisoner often has ten fingers like this, the so-called ten fingers are connected to the heart, it is really better to live than death, and this bamboo stick can only be regarded as powerful in all torture tools, and then this iron brush, is to pour the prisoner's hands or feet, sometimes even the back, on it repeatedly with freshly boiled water, and then use an iron brush to brush, a brush will see white white bones, No matter how bad you are, the heroes and heroes all ask their mothers to call the sky. I really have to admire how sick the people who invented these torture instruments are.
This hanging prisoner is He Huogen, an outsider from Wujia Village, last time, Zhao Tieniu made trouble in his house for a long time, beat him half to death, and threatened to come and take away his daughter in three days, what kind of world is this? He Huogen's family was almost in a desperate situation, but a miracle appeared, Zhao Tieniu did not come three days later, did not come on the fourth day, and there was still no one on the fifth day, when their family was glad that they had escaped a catastrophe, they never expected that on the eighth day, there were two fierce gods who ran to their house, and beat themselves to death without saying a word, and asked themselves to honestly explain where Zhao Tieniu was? Oh, my God? How do I know where he is? After the two catchers beat He Huogen hard, they couldn't find a result, so they arrested He Huogen with iron chains and put him in prison.
Zhao Xiangen sat on the Taishi chair with a golden knife, looking at He Huogen, who was already scarred, his face was full of impatience, thinking that I was the head of the dignified Mizhi County Ya Catcher, on the ground of Mizhi, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, how many important things are waiting for me to do, how many favors are waiting for me to deal with, how many financial resources are waiting for me to develop, today I want to talk nonsense with a Diao people like you, wasting my time, as soon as I thought of this, Zhao Xiangen was angry, and shouted: "You Diao Min, you don't tell you honestly, say, where is Zhao Tieniu?" Did you hurt me? If you are honest, I can still give you a good time, and if you mess around here, it will be your iron body, and I can also turn you into powder. ”
