I'm afraid you'll be widowed

The small guest room in the county town was surrounded by three floors inside and outside three floors by the county government officers for a moment.

All the things in front of him made Pei Gong think for no reason of the military thieves from the Xuanfu Guard who sneaked into the capital.

The inn that night was originally surrounded by internal guards in this way, and those military thieves from the Xuanfu guards should have been unable to escape...

Right now, I don't know what the situation is at home, and whether my eldest brother can still hold on.

"Take it down, take it down!" The yamen servants were so noisy that they rushed to Pei Gong in a hurry.

The paraffin wax on the candlestick was mixed with impurities, and suddenly several sparks burst out.

A slight movement suddenly interrupted the scene in the guest room, and Pei Gong was belatedly aware of it, only then did he realize that his thoughts seemed to be drifting away.

Only then did he use his peripheral vision to look around carefully.

Even if Pei Gong is idle, he is not ignorant.His kung fu has been hammered out by Liang Guogong and his two elder brothers since he was a child. Although he has never fought on the frontier like his father and brothers, it is by no means an empty talk to count one as ten.

To him in the past, the current district and county government officials would not have been taken seriously at all, and they were not considered troublesome at all.

It's just that there is no trace of the Yanling Saber he used to, and he landed in Xianghai Town single-handedly, and his identity document was also lost by coincidence, and the situation was against him everywhere.

Then I thought of Pei Xuanqian's exhortation to "don't cause trouble" before leaving Beijing. If the yamen servants were beaten up regardless of their brains, I'm afraid the trouble would be even bigger.Thinking of this, Pei Gong's clenched fist subconsciously relaxed in front of the formidable four hands.

Even if Pei Gong is a fool, he should realize that he has been tricked by others.

He had no choice but to sneer like self-deprecating, he ran from the capital to Xianghai, a place he was not familiar with, and he had to take such a big dose when he first arrived, Xianghai is really not an easy place.

"What are you laughing at?" The yamen servants who rushed up grabbed him tightly.

"Your Xianghai Town has really big rules." Pei Gong sneered, "I don't know which law you are breaking when you go in and out of Xianghai and chat on the street?"

"If the Lord says you broke the law, then you have committed a crime."

"You pretend to be an officer and soldier of Jinyiwei, and dare to resist arrest with the yamen..."

"Hey, how dare you stare at the master, you rascal? After the court tomorrow, I will dig out your eyeballs." The jailer said two harsh words.

"What's the matter? If you take you, I will take you, and you took the wrong one?" Seeing Pei Gong's fearless expression, the guard couldn't help getting angry for a while, and was about to stretch out his foot to give this "thief who doesn't know what to do" well "A dismounting."

Unexpectedly, he was hooked by the shoulders of the guards on the side.

"The one who stole the official silver has already got it, and he dares to speak up in front of his death. Why are you telling him so much?"

"Don't make any troubles, take it back as soon as possible, so we can go down to the Yamen to drink."

Several guards hit it off immediately, they pushed and shoved Pei Gong out of the inn and put him in the jail.

It was already late autumn, and the prison was bare, allowing the cold night wind to move unscrupulously.

A few moments ago, Pei Gong hated the oil-stained bed sheets in the inn, but in a blink of an eye there was only dry grass that smelled like urine as companions.

Although Duke Liang's family was born in a wealthy family, sons and daughters are not raised in the same way. Pei Gong saw that there were many prisons, but it was the first time he had seen such a large prison.

After all, the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in his memory is spacious and bright, the prison of the Inspectorate is even more magnificent and rich with a single room for one person, and the prison of the Wucheng Bingmasi jailed some thieves and robbers, but at least it was clean.

Right now, the big prison of the Xianghai county government made him doubt for a while that before Fang Cenxi found him, he could be suffocated to death by the smell here.

Pei Gong didn't hide his disgust at all, but he could only cover his nose and look casually.

But after a while, I don't know if he was pickled by the environment here, Pei Gong seemed to have gotten used to the inexplicable stench.

So he leaned against the prison fence and sat down to gather himself. He bent his knees and supported his arms. He couldn't help thinking about which step he was wrong.

The luggage that was originally on the table disappeared, and no one else entered the room, so Fang Cenxi would have taken it away.

But why did Fang Cenxi intentionally put him together?

Now that he is being imprisoned in the county government prison, Fang Cenxi is absolutely inseparable.

Not to mention Duke Liang's mansion, even if he wanted to return to Beijing to return to his command, Fang Cenxi couldn't possibly abandon him.

It would be sooner or later that someone would come to pick him up, and he didn't have to worry at all.

Thinking of this point, Pei Gong regained his patience and traced the process before and after being arrested.

Why did the jailer dare to assert that his death was imminent before the county government arrested him?

Fang Cenxi said something well.

This Xianghai Town really has a lot of weirdness.

Several old men in the same prison number saw the jailer walking away, and hurriedly looked at the new inmates.

Seeing that he has a handsome appearance, clean and tidy all over his body, but he never begged the jailer for mercy, and he didn't complain as much as others when he was imprisoned. He seemed to be a rich man with some courage.

They couldn't help arguing: "Young man, you look strange, where is the blacksmith from Xianghai?"

"Why did you get caught in this cell of death row? Sitting alone in the cold, why don't you join us?"

Pei Gong didn't talk to him.

The few people in the prison were not discouraged, and continued to teach him by precepts and deeds in the spirit of "experienced people": "You can't show your face to the county magistrate like this tomorrow, or you will be beaten twenty times, and your skin will be bruised." , ruthless."

"Don't talk about killing power, those jailers are also black-hearted. If they don't like it, they will surround them and beat them to death. You have to beg for mercy, and maybe beat you more lightly."

"What's the use of being lighter? We've all entered this club, isn't it a dead end sooner or later?"

……

Pei Gong rolled his eyes, looked at the prisoners huddled together in the corner, and couldn't help curling his lips into a silent sneer.

"Blacksmith? A dead end?"

"That's right, the blacksmiths, goldsmiths and silversmiths in Xianghai Town are all here, aren't you?"

Pei Gong lowered his eyes slightly, thinking about the "death prisoner" and "blacksmith" incidents, but for a long time he couldn't find out what connection could arise between them.

He remembered that Fang Cenxi held the little beggar for a long time in the afternoon and asked him questions.

So I followed suit and began to "not ashamed to ask".

"Why are goldsmiths, silversmiths and blacksmiths caught in this death row cell?"

Hearing these words, several people couldn't help sighing: "It's not because of the loss of official money."

"The investigators in the county government either said that the official money was not lost, or that there were several boxes of 'hydration gold'. They caught us and wanted to find the hydration gold."

Pei Gong was even more surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help frowning: "Water into gold?"

"Yes, it is hydration gold. It is said that it will melt when it meets water. Do you know what this hydration gold is? How can you hand it over?"

"It's not because none of us can hand over this thing that we are being held here."

"When Zi Chou Yinmao can't be found out, it must be us who are unlucky. Isn't it the number of death row prisoners?"

When several craftsmen talked about the stuffiness, their yelling became louder and louder.

Only then did the jailer outside the prison come cursing: "Why are you shouting? Are you in a hurry to seek death?"

Several craftsmen fell silent at this moment, and they all fell silent.

Pei Gong didn't speak any more, and was forced to think on his own.

It was already late, and the prisoners fell asleep one after another.

Until it was getting dark, there was still a continuous sound of snoring coming from nowhere in the prison.

Pei Gong couldn't fall asleep at all, he could only lean against the prison bar and close his eyes to rest his mind. After a whole night, he was exhausted, but he still stubbornly refused to condescend.

However, the noisy movement always stirred up his emotion called irritability, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

It wasn't until the early morning light that there was a rustling sound outside the prison. It was the prison guards who exchanged value, so Pei Gong was brought out to register in the album.

The jailer asked impatiently, "Who is the name of the one caught last night?"

Pei Gong sneered: "What? You didn't ask when you were arresting people yesterday, but now you remember to ask for their names?"

"Don't you know that my name is 'the one caught last night'?"

"It's your turn to intervene, sir?" The jailer threw the book on the table, but Pei Gong didn't show the slightest fear.

The usual deterrent methods failed, and the jailer couldn't help but raised his voice to threaten again: "It seems that I won't give you a longer memory, don't you know how powerful the county government prison is?"

Three or two jailers pushed Pei Gong to an unobtrusive corner, loosened his wrists and fingers, and only made a posture of attacking: "I heard that you still dare to pretend to be someone from Liang Guogong's mansion? You are not small."

"Even if it is true, Duke Liang's mansion is in such a situation now, how dare you be arrogant?"

"My lord has to tell you to suffer a little bit today, so that you will have a long memory."

The small cramped corner was glowing faintly dark red with layers of blood stains. Presumably this was a place specially used by the jailers to give people a "long memory".

Pei Gong didn't bother to care about the meaning of these words.

He looked at a few unappreciated jailers, only a layer of obvious coldness appeared in his eyes, and the fingertips of his curled hands had already turned white from being pinched.

The eldest brother told him not to cause trouble.

But he didn't say that he couldn't fight back.

From last night to now, he has endured it for too long.

Several people rushed forward: "Brothers, break his two ribs before we talk."

Pei Gong looked at the ferocious yamen servant, sneered, and suddenly raised his fist without saying a word.

There were screams coming from the depths of the county government prison, causing the prisoners to poke their heads out.

"Hey, this is another newcomer who got beaten up?"

"It's also miserable..."

Unexpectedly, within a moment, Pei Gong turned his wrist expressionlessly and walked out unscathed.

He passed the aisle between the two rows of cells, walked away under the eyes of the prisoners, and sat down at the place where the jailer was on duty, picking up the teapot and pouring water by himself.

After the tea was brought to his lips, Pei Gongfang found that the tea was the jasmine dragon ball from Huang Xianyuan in the capital, and he could tell from the color of the tea that the price was not cheap, so he couldn't help smacking his tongue.

"You Xianghai jailers, are you living a little too well?"

The yamen servants with bruised nose and swollen face came chasing after him: "Big... bold, you are on the wrong side."

"Come on, come on..."

Before the words were finished, the magistrate of Xianghai, who looked like a catfish with a fat head and fat head, suddenly rushed into the prison with the corner of his uniform robe.

Seeing this, the jailers became arrogant again.

While resuming his old business of threatening to intimidate the prisoners nearby, he warned Pei Gong proudly.

"Boy, I advise you to be sensible, and quickly kneel down and kowtow to confess to grandpa."

"Otherwise, you can just wait and see."

The author has something to say:

Pei Gou: The inner guards have beaten you before, don't you dare to beat you?
