A flock of birds flew across the clear blue sky, a few milky white clouds overhead, fluttering gently, like a little white sail floating on the deep blue sea.

Li Jing half-closed his eyes as he listened to the magistrate of Chishan Military Town in the hall announcing his 'crime'.

"Ignoring the laws of the country, preying and eating carp without permission, and refusing to admit guilt afterwards, and openly resisting the law and resisting arrest, is really a crime on top of a crime, and according to the law, he was sentenced to hang a prison marquis, so as to set an example. After reporting to the imperial court, they will be executed immediately in the autumn of next year! "That pusher is also dressed in a green robe, but he is an eight-rank official who is slightly older than the fat treasury official, but he is in charge of the push and hook lawsuit prison in Chishan Military Town. Originally, Li Jing was not a sergeant in Chishan Town, so it was not his turn to care. But Chishan Town has always been domineering, although the fat treasury official is not big, but guarding the warehouse is a fat difference, he said a few words to the pusher, and the original small thing can not be small, and it immediately became a major event in the military town.

Although he was not beaten with 60 rods, he was added to the trumped-up charge of resisting the law and resisting arrest, and the result of a hanged prisoner was directly tried.

The two sergeants came up and grabbed Li Jing's hand, dipped the mud in the red seal clay box, and forcibly pressed the handprint on the confession.

The handprint was pressed, and the official in the hall snapped the shocking wood, and this unjust case was considered final.

Li Jing had an unreal feeling, one moment he was still carrying a heavy load of food and preparing to go home, but the next moment, he actually became a prisoner of the hanged prisoner, waiting for the case to go up to him, and after the review, he will be hanged next fall.

When he was taken out of the sergeant's shelf, Li Jing inadvertently saw Wang Liang at the door. The two looked at each other, Wang Liang's eyes seemed to be a little ashamed, and there seemed to be a little smug smile.

"Get in!" The two sergeants opened the dungeon door and threw Li Jing inside. Then there was a thud in the dimly lit dungeon, and the door behind him slammed shut.

The sound of two lines of footsteps drifted apart. All that was left of the dimly lit dungeon was the musty and rotten stench that smelled like dead rats mixed with swishing food.

"The second in charge, another one comes in." In the darkness, a somewhat obscene voice sounded beside it.

Li Jing raised his head, his eyes gradually adjusted to the dimness of the prison, and then he realized that he was not the only one in this cell. In a cell that is about 20 square meters, there are almost 20 people crowded. These people were dressed in a mess, and they didn't even have a prison uniform. Most of them were young men in their thirties and forties, but at this time they were all described as withered, half leaning and half lying under the opposite wall, and their eyes were like wolves looking at him.

"Ouch, it's still a little white face. Look at this dress, there are a pair of boots under the black gauze hat crewneck shirt, what's the matter, what happened? A thin bamboo pole with a tattered piece of rag on his body, which he couldn't see in its original shape, got up and asked.

"The fat treasurer in the town wanted to buy my fish, but I didn't give it. The dog officer made up a charge and arrested me. Li Jing didn't know who the people in this prison were in Lu Dao, so he had to take one step at a time.

"You're talking about Treasurer Zhang, right? That dog officer, he likes to buy and sell strongly, if he refuses, he will definitely weave some charges and lock you up. What did you decide? A man in his thirties in the middle under the opposite wall asked. As soon as Li Jing saw the momentum of this person's speech and the position he was sitting in, he guessed that this person might be the cell boss in this prison. Throughout the ages, if there is a prison, there will be a cell boss and a prison bully, and these people are more ruthless than the jailers in the prison, and this kind of person must not be offended.

Li Jing replied: "Hang the Prison Marquis! ”

The man was also a little surprised: "Look at you dressed like a scholar more like a fisherman, how many fish does that fat man want to covet you, and you refuse to give it?" ”

"It's only twenty pounds of fish." Li Jing sighed, it's all the trouble caused by these twenty catties of fish.

The bearded man laughed a few times: "Then you must have offended the dog official, and he won't kill you for twenty catties of fish." Think about it, have you offended anyone? ”

Li Jing followed his words and thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case. No matter how domineering the fat man is, they have no hatred or grievance, so why would they want his life for twenty catties of fish? Wang Liang's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he was in a hurry after the verdict was announced. There was a hint of pride and guilt in his smile. By the way, it must be Wang Liang's ghost, Wang Liang's family and the Li family already had a holiday, and Wang Liang is the servant of the fat treasury official, maybe this guy is making bad in it.

"When the eldest brother said this, I remembered one, that fat official servant had a holiday with my family."

"Oh!" The beard let out a long oh, but he turned his head and stopped talking.

Li Jing couldn't help but walk over and asked sincerely, "Is there any way for the eldest brother to help me get out?" ”

The beard caged his sleeves: "You and I are not related, why should I help you?" ”

"Big brother, you and I can meet here, that's fate. is the same person who has fallen to the end of the world, why should we have known each other when we meet. Don't hide it from the eldest brother, my father and brother are all dead, and only the younger brother is left in the family, and the rest are widowed mothers, two widowed sisters-in-law and two younger sisters who have not left the cabinet. The whole family depends on the younger brother, if the younger brother is calculated by the traitor, my Li family will not exist. I also asked the eldest brother to help the younger brother, which can be regarded as helping my Li family. Da En didn't dare to say thank you, if I could get out, the little brother would not forget the kindness of the eldest brother. Today's incident has made Li Jing deeply aware of the darkness of the late Tang Dynasty official mansion. He didn't dare to rely on anything else now, so he could only rely on himself to save himself.

"Boy, I really have the ability to help you get out, why don't I go out first." The bearded man laughed. A group of prisoners next to him also laughed together, obviously laughing at the stupidity of his white-faced scholar.

Li Jing sat on the moldy straw on the ground a little dejectedly, and his heart was in turmoil for a while.

"Well, boy, you haven't told me what you're doing?" Seeing that Li Jing didn't speak, some of the prisoners spoke, obviously taking Li Jing as the spice of their boring prison life.

Li Jingmulan said: "The younger brother's family is eighteen miles away from Wang Li Zhuang, cultivating and reading heirlooms, and his ancestors also had hundreds of acres of fertile land, but now the family property is in the middle, and there are only dozens of acres of thin land left in the family, barely surviving." I don't know what your brothers do for a living, but why are they here? ”

The thin bamboo pole pointed to the beard with some smugness and said, "Boy, my brother is afraid of scaring you when he says it." Listen, this is the yellow-bearded Huang Er, who is the master of the East China Sea. ”

Li Jing was shocked by the name of Yellowbeard all of a sudden, and when it came to Yellowbeard, there was no one in the coastal area of Shandong who did not know the way. Yellowbeard is a famous pirate along the coast of Shandong, and is known as the bearded thief together with Whitebeard, Redbeard, and Blackbeard. Among them, Whitebeard is the eldest, Yellowbeard is the second, Redbeard is the third, and Blackbeard is the fourth. According to the legend of the people of the seaside, this bearded thief is very mysterious, and they roam the seas and are haunted. Not only did they plunder merchant ships by sea, but they even often went ashore to plunder. In the coastal area, when it comes to beard thieves, even women's families often use the name of beard thieves to scare disobedient children.

Li Jing didn't expect that the famous Yellow Beard would be locked up in such a rotten and moldy dungeon, and he would be suspicious for a while.

Seeing the expression on Li Jing's face, Yellowbeard also knew that he didn't believe it all, and said with a smile: "Boy, I see that you are not bad, I will show you a way to live today." However, you have to promise to do something for me when I get out. ”

Li Jing's expression moved, and he couldn't help but be moved. Though the yellow-bearded man he is a thief, he is a people. But now he can't take care of this, he is now in prison, and the family may have already gotten the news, and I don't know how the women of the Lu Dao family are worried and afraid, and there is no owner of the six gods.

"Big brother, you say, as long as you can really show me a way to live, I will repay this kindness."

"Okay, boy, I'll trust you for once. Come here, and listen to me show you the way out. ”
