Chapter 139, Harvest, VI

Late at night.The cell was quiet, except for the occasional rattling of rats.No one spoke, after all, there was too little to eat.Who has the strength to howl all the time?At most, you only have strength in the two days you first came in.But all he got in exchange was a whip from the cell boss.But today also seemed unusually quiet.

Outside the cell, in the hall, the cell boss is talking to the jailer. It is said that the cell boss who is five-year-old and three-thirsty is selected because of his relationship. He seems to be a relative of a big man in the yamen, so he is qualified to be the cell boss. .But no one knows who that big shot is.

Old man Song stood among the jailers with low eyebrows, just like everyone beside him, receiving routine lectures from the prison boss. This lecture was given two or three times a month, about once every 7.8 days.Today is the fourth time this month, and it should be the last time.

One incense was quietly placed on the incense burner in front of the prison god, but its color was red, while the other two were ordinary mud.

Gradually, the cell leader began to hesitate when speaking. The cell leader, who had a loud voice, spoke intermittently, and tried hard to open his eyes, but it seemed to have no effect. The jailers were even more unbearable, and fell to the ground one by one. on the ground.In the end, the cell leader also lay on the ground and became motionless.

After a while, Old Man Song got up from the ground, and said to himself: "Be careful of sailing the thousand-year-old ship!" He walked to the door. The door was originally guarded by eight guards, but because of the lecture, there was only one person. Stay outside.But speaking of it, it was a good job not to go in and listen to the lectures. After all, the atmosphere was really depressing, and the prison chief had to lecture for an hour or two at a time.

"Old man Song? Are you done talking so quickly?" Zeng Qi was guarding the outside today.Seeing old man Song, he asked.

Old man Song said: "How can it be? The old man said that there are several people who want to come here to look for him, so let me come out to pick them up."

Zeng Qi didn't think it was old man Song who lied to him.After all, they are so familiar, and it's okay to be idle, so they chatted with old man Song.

After a while, four people came over, old man Song said to Zeng Qi: "Here comes the man, I won't tell you anymore." Then he took the four people to the prison.

"Where's the person?" asked the leading burly man.

"It's inside! Cell NO.14, follow me." Old Man Song said as he walked, "I have added ingredients to tonight's meal. These prisoners will not wake up."

The leading man nodded.Said: "It's quite a set."

Then the five of them went to Cell No.14, old man Song opened the door, and the four of them took Ming Qing and Ming Xiu away.And by the way, Zeng Qi at the door was also taken away.Do it all.Old man Song returned to his original position and continued to lie down and sleep.

In the middle of the night, the cell leader sat up abruptly.Shouted: "Get up for me!" Immediately, the jailers woke up in twos and threes, but there were still a few people who didn't wake up, so one jailer picked up the teapot on the table and wiped it on the faces of those few people. After pouring some cold tea, the few people woke up leisurely.

The prison head's face was as gloomy as a dark cloud.Said: "Go. See what loss there is."

The jailers scattered.After a while, they gathered again.Prisoner A said: "There are basically no problems in the prison, except for"

The prison chief's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he roared, "Speak up, are you hesitating and looking for death?"

Prisoner A was shocked.Said: "The two girls who came in today are gone!"

"There's more! Zeng Qi is also missing!" Jailer B said quickly.

Hearing this, the prison chief realized that the matter was not that simple, and said, "You all don't leave. Follow me to find your lord after dawn."

Everyone could only nod their heads.

"My lord, someone brought it here." The leading man put Ming Qing and Ming Xiu in front of Meng Jingye.And Zeng Qi too.

Meng Jingye stood up and said: "What kind of son is not a son, thank you uncles for helping me with this favor. Thank you very much!"

"Oh, where is it?" The four people evaded. "If it's okay, the four of us will leave first."

Meng Jingye nodded and said, "It's late at night. Go to bed early, it's too much trouble for the four uncles."

"Haha. It's okay." After speaking, the four of them took their leave and left.

Meng Jingye also sat down.This went relatively well.Finally, thanks to Uncle Leng’s cooperation!
Meng Jingye squatted in front of Mingxiu, gently touched her cheek, and helped her straighten her messy hair.She smiled and said softly: "You, you still can't escape my grasp." Seeing Ming Qing next to Mingxiu, Meng Jingye frowned. It seemed that this person had some problems controlling Mingxiu!
"Management." Meng Jingye stood up.shouted.

"Place them among those people. Get rid of this woman as soon as possible." Meng Jingye said.

The steward nodded.Pick up Mingqing Mingxiu and go out.With a random kick, Meng Jingye broke Zeng Qi's neck.Then he turned around and went back to his room, ready to do things later.

It was almost dawn.Several carriages moved forward slowly.They are all family-led.There were all kinds of baggage on the carriage. Although they left Pingnan City, everyone was very happy.After all, everyone got almost 500 taels of silver.This is almost as much money as they can get in a small business for a lifetime.

These are all small traders that Meng Jingye used.Under the arrangement of the steward.Taking the money, let them leave Pingnan City overnight, go to the place where they have lived for so long, and go elsewhere.Although they have left, businessmen are different from ordinary people who pay too much attention to their hometown and refuse to migrate, but all of them are happy.After all, there are quite a few people who are not from Pingnan City.

In Pingnan City, there is only one road to go to other places.no way.There are many robbers.So a group of people also go together, and when they leave the county, there will be more roads.At that time, we can go our separate ways.

The carriage swayed and woke up Ming Qing and Ming Xiu.Sensing that she was no longer in a prison cell, Ming Qing was startled.He lifted the curtain of the car and saw the driver outside.Ming Qing asked: "Who are you? Where are you taking us?"

The coachman remained silent, and Ming Qing got out immediately.The coachman wanted to stop him, but he pushed Ming Qing to the ground immediately, and Ming Qing got up.Looking up, they were all acquaintances.Aunt Wang's family selling cakes at the door.The old man selling straw sandals, Ming Qing, seemed to have thought of something, and roughly understood it.Point to those people.Crying to: "You... how can you do this? Team up with others and others to bully us. You."

The people around her seemed to have unnatural expressions as they listened to her words.After all, they have been neighbors for so many years.Being exposed by others, and losing face, a group of people remained silent.The originally cheerful atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Ming Xiu also got out, but the coachman didn't stop him, he just sat there quietly.Ming Xiu ran over and hugged Ming Qing in her arms.Both of them wept bitterly.
