The summer sun hung brightly above our heads, everything was scorched, and even the shadow it cast was only a short one.
Under the scorching sun, a prison van was bumping along the rugged road.
In the prison car, Shang Jiuge stood upright in the prison car. She still had messy short hair that reached her ears. She was as black as sandalwood, and her white clothes were stain-free. She had a pair of wooden clogs at her feet, and the dark stick was tied to her back. His hands were wrapped in hemp rope.
"Miss Shang, would you like a drink of water?" Lawnold, who was riding a horse, slowed down his horse, came to Shang Jiuge, and looked at Shang Jiuge in the prison car: "If Miss Shang regrets, this is the last chance."
"Fortunately, I'm not too thirsty." Shang Jiuge looked ahead quietly and said, "Has the Yellow Arowana been taken away first?"
"Yes, he is a repeat offender, with high martial arts skills and serious injuries." Lawnold said: "He will probably be sent to the capital to be beheaded or even Ling Chi, but he has a message for the girl."
"What are you talking about?" Shang Jiuge asked.
"I'll wait for you on Huangquan Road." Lawnold said quietly, "But don't come too fast."
Shang Jiuge sneered: "I didn't expect Huanglongyu to be a bit humorous, but you are a beautiful woman, how can you be a thief?"
"Girl, worry about yourself." Lawnold couldn't help but said: "Now I can give the girl some preferential treatment, but when she enters the prison and hands over, it will be beyond my reach."
"But I'm not worried?" Shang Jiuge said calmly.
The sun was scorching above her head, but there was no sign of heat stroke, and her voice was still light and cold. In other words, even when she was standing in the prison car, she seemed happy not to have to walk.
"By the way, where will I be sent?" Shang Jiuge continued to ask.
"According to the usual practice, you will be imprisoned in the county jail as a suspect." Lawnold said: "I have reported what you said before according to your confession, but I think the masters above will not believe you. One-sided words, or my one-sided words.”
"The best case scenario is that you will be locked up in prison for a few months. When the superior officers have reported their merits and the court's rewards have come down, after everything is over, they will think of you, pull you out, give you a few words of admonishment, and let you go. You will have to spend a few more months in jail for nothing."
"What about the worst case scenario?" Shang Jiuge asked.
"If the worst happens." Lawnold sighed: "Most of the prisoners in the county jail are prisoners who were admitted for various reasons. Among them, except for those who were sentenced to death in Qiuhouwenzhan, the rest are either undercover. You can be released under the Emperor's amnesty, or you can be released only if someone pays to smooth things over and your case is cleared."
"It is very common for ordinary people to be imprisoned for three to five years, especially those who have no relatives or friends. There is no one to deliver food every day, and they can only eat the rancid prison food. It's really not too bad. Pitiful."
Shang Jiuge smiled: "Then if I am imprisoned like this, will you give me food?"
Lawnold looked at Shang Jiuge, shook his head and said, "No."
Shang Jiuge couldn't help laughing when he heard this, causing the surrounding soldiers to look this way. Lawnold scolded the surrounding soldiers to keep them from looking away, and then looked at Shang Jiuge: "Girl, why are you laughing?"
"Because I didn't hear you tell me the reason, but I think the reason must be very interesting." Shang Jiuge said, "Why don't you bring me food?"
"Because I am not related to the girl." Lawnold said quietly: "I can give you some care now, which is a convenience within the scope of my authority, but in prison, it is not my territory. ”
"Besides, you were a bandit of the Seventeenth Bandit of the Yellow River at that time. When I went to deliver food to you, I was using my official position to communicate with the bandits. If someone took the opportunity to cause trouble, I would be like a clay Buddha crossing the river, and I would not be able to protect myself."
"Look, it's really interesting." Shang Jiuge said with a smile: "I obviously didn't do anything. Instead, I went to the camp of the Seventeen Bandits of the Yellow River and brought their treasures and women to report to the official. But in the end, I was killed. When I was imprisoned, there wasn’t even a person to deliver food to me.”
Lawnold's face was livid and he kept silent.
"Do you know why I want to be captured by you?" Shang Jiuge continued.
Lawnold shook his head: "I don't know, and it's still too late for the girl to regret it now."
"Why should I regret it?" Shang Jiuge asked, "And as for why I was arrested by you, the reason is because I don't believe it."
"I don't believe what you said."
"I don't believe that I will be treated like a deer and a horse."
"I don't believe that evil people in this world can do whatever they want, while good people can only hide their tail between their legs."
"I don't believe it." Shang Jiuge looked at Lawnold, who said nothing.
"So I came here to take a look." Shang Jiuge said. "Let's see if things go the way you say they will."
Lawnold felt a little embarrassed.
There is a saying that everyone is drunk and I am alone awake, and there is also a saying called the emperor's new clothes.
When everyone was pretending to be drunk and everyone took it for granted, Shang Jiuge rushed in openly and without scruples, laughing loudly when everyone was naked.
Then they, the people without clothes, could only strangle Shang Jiuge, the only person wearing clothes, to death.
In this way, no one will dare to tell the truth.
"Girl, please run away quickly." Lawnold lowered his head and said. "Now that you've seen it all."
"Why should I run away?" Shang Jiuge smiled softly and said, "I haven't seen the end of this scene yet, why should I run away."
Lawnold was speechless and had nothing to say.
Facing this girl, almost all the darkness was invisible to her.
She does her own thing, believes in her beliefs, and is willing to follow through.
If she wants to watch it now, she can only let her watch it.
"Okay." Lawnold sighed softly.
At this time, a horse was galloping in front of him, and then he reined in his horse and stopped in front of Lawnold: "May I ask if this sir is Lawnold from Baihusuo, Mengzhou County?"
"That's right." Lawnold said, "May I ask what errands you have?"
"This is the accomplice of the Seventeen Yellow River Bandits that you captured?" The man looked at Shang Jiuge in the prison car.
Lawnold nodded: "Exactly."
"Are you going to the county jail?" the visitor asked again.
"Exactly."
"That's good." The visitor said, and at the same time he took out an official document sealed with lacquer from his sleeve and handed it to Lawnold: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, has an order to have the female prisoner escorted to the county government office immediately. The master has already been raised to court. , as long as you take the prisoner to custody, the trial will begin immediately."
Lawnold opened the official document himself and read it again, and his expression changed instantly.
"Then what's written in the official document?" Shang Jiuge asked without fear at all.
"You'll know when you get to the county government office." The visitor looked at Shang Jiuge and said contemptuously, then he patted his horse and left.
Only a trail of dust remains.
PS: There have been a lot of PSs recently, but in fact, in some plots, only specific characters can escape, just like Shang Jiuge's current plot. Think about it with your conscience, if it were the protagonist or Xue Ling, would this be the development?
So sometimes, it is the characters that make the plot, and sometimes, it is the plot that makes the characters.
This is the reason why I am currently writing Shang Jiuge, because only Shang Jiuge can run in this plot.
