"...wuwuwu..."
In the dark cell, low cries resounded again. The difference is that this time the crying is filled with endless grievances and is very heartbreaking.
Li Zhengyi no longer had the patience to listen to Wu Dalang crying like a girl, although his plight was indeed somewhat sympathetic.
And it's possible that Lady Zhang was Wu Dalang's first love. After all, Pan Jinlian was directly assigned by a big family in Qinghe County.
So Li Zhengyi calmed down his impatience and seriously told Wu Dalang: "Wuda, remember the next words carefully. This is the key to whether you can escape from prison."
Seeing that he was still just crying and crying, Li Zhengyi took a deep breath and said, "As long as you go out, you can ask that lady Zhang face to face whether she cheated on your feelings."
When Wu Dalang heard this, he actually raised his head and looked like he was listening attentively.
I……
Forget it, why bother arguing with him.
"When you go to court tomorrow, you will not admit to stealing the gold hairpin even to death. Tell the magistrate that you were deceived by that lady."
At this time, Wuhan University interrupted Li Zhengyi and said, "Isn't that lady Zhang just..."
Grass! Explode!
Li Zhengyi quickly walked back and forth in the cell several times, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Zhang will be fine if Mr. Lin can deal with it."
After all the talk, Wu Dalang agreed to tomorrow's request to tell the truth.
"Remember, you must tell the truth tomorrow."
"When I go out now, I will immediately find someone to go to the county magistrate to intercede. I believe that as Wu Dutou's boss, and Wu Dutou is doing things for him, the magistrate will definitely be lenient to you."
After saying that, Li Zhengyi was about to leave, but for some reason the cell door was closed.
"Dah!"
Just as he reached for the door, a bright blade struck the log. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, otherwise he might have had a few fingers chopped off just now.
"Crack! Click!"
As he dodged and retreated, the iron chain on the door was quickly tightened and the iron lock was closed at the same time.
"Hahaha! Wonderful, really wonderful!"
"I didn't expect that Li Er, your silver burden man, is really quite quick-witted. He discovered the problem so quickly and came up with a solution. It's amazing!"
With a few bursts of wild laughter, several torches lit up instantly in the dark prison, illuminating every blind spot in the cell where Li Zhengyi and Wu Dalang were located.
"It's you?"
"Yes, it's me. You didn't expect it."
The person who came was dressed in silk and satin, wearing a crane cloak. He looked dignified, but his eyes were evil and cunning. He was none other than Ximen Qing.
"I knew it was you, you bastard!"
"Oh? You actually guessed that it was me?"
Although Li Zhengyi was scolding him angrily, the other party was already a prisoner, so Ximen Qing didn't pay attention. Instead, he showed a bit of surprise in his joking.
"I have to say that you are really smart, but...you are not at the mercy of me now!"
There were several people surrounding Ximen Qing. Except for some boys holding torches, the others seemed to be members of the government.
After hearing Ximen Qing's words, they all laughed, mocking the incompetent and angry Li Zhengyi inside.
At the same time, he also echoed: "Yes, since Ximen Senior Official has said so, let this kid appear in court with Wu Da tomorrow, so that he can have a taste of our killing stick."
"Ximen Qing! I have no enmity with you, why did you frame me like this!"
Seeing that Li Er could only shout at him in the cell, Ximen Qing felt extremely happy and comfortable when he thought of the scene when this boy ignored him in Wang Po's tea shop.
So he said a few more words: "No injustice or enmity? Did you ignore my arrogance and forget it that day?"
He gritted his teeth even more and said, "Also, you shamelessly took over Pan Jinlian and didn't allow Grandma Wang to see her. You are so kind!"
Ximen Qing became excited, "And you, Wu Dalang! You actually allowed Li Er to do whatever he wanted, and just said such crazy things about selling the golden lotus to him for ten taels of silver. It's really, really..."
When Ximen Qing said this, he was crying and shedding tears in his heart.
Ten taels of silver, for his daily expenses, it is normal for a table of food and wine to cost more than ten taels of silver.
If he knew that ten taels of silver could accomplish the task openly, why would he waste so much energy only to have the meat snatched away by wild dogs that jumped out from the roadside?
"I want you two bitches..."
Ximen Qing wanted to say that there was no complete corpse, but he felt that after all, people had many mouths, and it would still be troublesome if someone talked about it.
So he changed his tune and said, "I want you two bastards to disappear forever in Yanggu County!"
What? This Ximen Qing dared to directly kill people and silence them! ?
Li Zhengyi suddenly shouted with some sternness: "Ximen Qing, how dare you do such nonsense!"
"Aren't you afraid that Wu Dutou will come back and have you stabbed? How could the magistrate allow you to act so recklessly? What's more, I'm not guilty, so why should I be afraid of you!"
Ximen Qing sneered again and again. He thought Li Er was quite a figure, but he didn't expect him to be so naive and ignorant.
"The magistrate? The magistrate has already gone out to visit friends with my high official's money. I'm afraid that when Wu Song comes back, he will still be enjoying himself."
"As for your crime, isn't it just robbing a prison? Do you think so?"
As soon as Ximen Qing finished speaking, an official next to him said, "Of course the official said yes."
"No, there is also the crime of theft!"
Someone next to him echoed this and accused Li Zhengyi of several more charges.
"And robbery!"
"There is a crime of adultery... there is a crime of arson... there is..."
Among these people, Li Zhengyi almost became a heinous sinner.
He became speechless for a moment, and all kinds of ridicules and slanders emanating from the darkness surrounded him.
Even in another world, he never imagined that the world could confuse right and wrong and allow these evil people to manipulate the law.
"And that Wu Song, everything will be settled by the time he comes back. Besides, if his brother committed a crime, what does it have to do with me, Ximen Qing, and I don't know about it, haha."
…
Seeing that Li Zhengyi no longer refuted, Ximen Qing felt that there was no point in talking any more, so he left two harsh words and left with the others laughing.
"Hahaha……"
Follow the fire away until it disappears. The prison fell into darkness again, and Li Zhengyi felt a little discouraged for a moment.
I was on guard day and night, cautious in everything, but in the end, I was convicted by Ximen Qing with just a few words, and became a prisoner waiting to be punished.
I couldn’t help but feel that many of my previous ideas were a bit ridiculous.
He even thought that if he had hit him on the lower back with the tip of a gun when they first met, the situation might have been better than the current situation.
But there are no ifs. The most important thing now is to find a way to escape from here, otherwise who knows what kind of situation we will face tomorrow.
