Chapter 49 One Died There
were not many people in the county prison.
Baozhu, who was still an intern, leaned against the door bored.
He didn't like this job.
Prisoners could move to other places after living for a while, either to other cells or to be chopped off.
Only he had to live there permanently.
He was worse off than the prisoners.
Fortunately, the prison boss was his uncle, so he could be lazy occasionally, even open the door for some fresh air.
He envied Jiang Feng, a playboy, who strolled around the streets, basked in the wind and sun, and boasted.
But his neighbor Aunt Wang said that his job was good, he didn't have to be exposed to the wind and rain, and he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. Aunt
Wang's daughter Xiaohuan was very beautiful.
In the prison, the peddler and his wife were dying.
They were badly injured.
The peddler was also bitten by an unknown poisonous insect. His whole body was in pain and he groaned from time to time.
Anyway, they were all sentenced to death, so no one cared about them.
Suddenly, the cell door opened.
Baozhu stood up quickly.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
"I've told you several times not to call me uncle in the yamen, call me Captain Liu."
Captain Liu brought in a man who looked like a doctor, and Baozhu followed curiously.
"Ah, Captain Liu, aren't these two kidnappers going to be sentenced? Why do you need a doctor for them?" Baozhu asked curiously.
Captain Liu sneered and said, "They are lucky. A nobleman pleaded for them. They won't die. You should also watch them and don't let them die." The
peddler and his wife thought they were doomed, but they didn't expect that they could still be saved.
"Boss, boss, we are saved, we don't have to die." The woman pushed the man excitedly.
The doctor looked at the dwarf with disdain.
He took his pulse and said, "It looks like he was bitten by an ant. Just apply some herbs. As for the other wounds, just stop bleeding."
The woman was still a little unconvinced. How could he be bitten by an ant? Ants can bite so many times, like a group of ants, so poisonous.
The peddler grabbed his wife's hand to stop her from complaining.
Instead, he turned to the yamen runner and said, "We are going to sue those who hurt us. They are not saving people, they are robbing people on the road, blocking the road and robbing people. They hurt us and framed us. We are a disabled woman and a child, and we can't resist." Baozhu
was young and excited, and wanted to say something at that time.
The doctor left the herbal medicine and left. It was bad luck.
Captain Liu said, "Our master will get to the bottom of the case. You just wait."
When the peddler and his wife watched the captain go out, they actually seemed to see the yamen runners outside escorting a person. It was the boy who hurt them yesterday. They were very excited. Retribution, retribution, it was what they deserved.
They were saved.
The peddler regretted that he did not strangle the baby to death at first, and he would not have ended up like this.
Juan'er helped the head of the family to apply the herbal medicine on the head of the family, muttering, "Thank you for saving my life, and may your family live a long life."
After applying the medicine, the couple snuggled together and relied on each other.
As long as he didn't die, they were not afraid. They would definitely go back to take care of Kuang'er.
...
Outside the prison, the sun was shining brightly.
After the doctor came out, he went to the side room of the pharmacy to see Xiao Jiang.
He was very familiar with Xiao Jiang. The pharmacy had a limited amount of medicine to be supplied, and the excess could be given to the pharmacy at a low price. Although the money was not for Xiao Jiang, they could still get more benefits from Xiao Jiang's help.
"I knew it was an ant bite at first glance. The peddler got an ant nest from somewhere, and the ignorant woman actually doubted my medical skills. The two were evil and vicious, and the county magistrate didn't know what he was thinking, and he spared the life of such a person."
After chatting for a while, the doctor also took away two packets of cold tea.
Jiang Changtian slowly drank the half cup of tea left in the bamboo tube. It was colder and more bitter, but his mind was clearer.
...
Jiang Rong sat in the master's room and drank tea.
The crude celadon cup was filled with ordinary tea. He took a sip and never touched it again.
Originally, if a guard was missing, he would not come to the yamen in person.
But when he heard that they had captured Jiang Feng, he wanted to come and take a look.
There was no way, he naturally disliked Jiang Feng, hated him, and disliked him.
While drinking tea, a yamen runner hurried in and whispered a few words to the master.
The master hurriedly stood up, glanced at Jiang Rong, and said, "Master Jiang, please do as you please."
Then he hurried to find the county master.
Damn it, he thought it was a trivial matter, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big trouble.
The county master is so ambitious. If he knew that he was in trouble, he would not know how to deal with himself.
Sure enough, when the county master heard what the master said, he smashed a teacup on his head.
"Idiot, you go door to door to ask about the whereabouts of the Jiang family guard. The county city is so small, how can he disappear? Find him for me immediately."
Then the county master hurriedly tidied up his official robe and trotted out to greet him.
It was not the first time that Jiang Feng met the county master.
In the past, he only looked at him from a distance.
He only felt that he was powerful and mysterious.
But today, he came out with a smile and greeted Brother Meng and Brother He affectionately.
It was as if the ignorant village women knew that you had become rich and wanted to be related to you.
He said it seriously.
"I am a Jinshi in the 24th year, three years apart from your uncle, but we have the same mentor."
...
He suddenly wanted to laugh.
This is how the world works.
Even the stern county magistrate will bow.
His smile was warm, like a spring breeze, not scary at all. He
was gentle, friendly and polite.
Jiang Feng was also like an ignorant child. When the county magistrate was humble, he followed and shouted, "Hello, uncle."
The county magistrate was embarrassed for a while, pulling his beard, not knowing how to respond.
He Chen and Meng Shaoxia both found it funny.
They met many officials from small places along the way, and they were all like this.
But I didn't expect Jiang Feng to be so honest. He believed everything others said.
It's easy to be deceived if you are too honest.
Meng Shaoxia thought, his sister was the same, silly, and was also deceived.
A group of people were chatting enthusiastically.
Jiang Rong was getting impatient. Didn't they say they were going to arrest someone? Where is the person?
The county magistrate had already mentioned that a dinner party was set up, and he never asked about the case from beginning to end.
It was as if Jiang Feng was visiting with a friend.
Until a yamen runner rushed in: "Report, report to the master, the body of the missing Wu Liu has been found, at No. 46 West Street, dead. The cause of death was poisoning. The murderer has been caught. It is the husband of Wu Liu's mistress."
According to the murderer, Wu Liu and his wife wanted to poison him together, but he found out and poisoned Wu Liu to death instead. After all, his wife was the mother of his child, so she was not killed, but she was beaten half to death and lay at home.
Meng Shaoxia and He Chen did not expect that they actually witnessed a murder.
When Jiang Rong got the news, he was also shocked, especially when he saw Wu Liu's body displayed in the yamen, he took several steps back.
Wu Liu died of poisoning. His death was horrible. His face was completely disfigured, his body was rotten, and there was a foul odor.
Jiang Rong thought of Wu Liu telling him that Jiang Feng would definitely die. But Jiang Feng didn't die, but Wu Liu did.
Because of the murder, a group of people gathered at the entrance of the government office to watch the excitement.
Everyone was shocked.
The seller of meat buns also came to see the excitement and shared with his left and right: "It's so scary to think about it. Our store is nearby, and it stinks, but we didn't smell it."
"Old Wu is a good person. He poisoned the adulterer, so he is not guilty."
"Old Wu is also cruel. I heard that he broke his wife's legs and put her and the adulterer on the bed to eat and sleep together. The adulterer stinks."
"I can't help it either. I heard that the woman is very vicious. When she did that dirty thing, she locked the child in the woodshed."
...
The murderer was found, and Jiang Feng was naturally released without guilt.
He wanted to go home quickly to tell his family the good news.
Wu Liu's evil deeds got retribution and he was killed.
It was dark.
Jiang Feng waited for his father and walked home together.
In front of his father, he was not the Jiang Feng pretending to be mature and serious outside. His youthful nature was revealed, and he walked briskly with skipping steps.
Jiang Changtian did not buy meat buns today because the owner of the meat buns went to watch the excitement.
Along the way, he listened to his son talking excitedly about the stories of the two young masters in the capital and the politeness of the county master. He was very youthful.
He was better than when he was young. He had dreams and he dared to think.
"Dad, do you think I can become an official one day?" "Dad
, do bad people get retribution?"
"Dad, will I become powerful one day?"
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Jiang Changtian responded.
In fact, I thought, child, you can't be an official. You have scars on your face. Your father is unfilial and unfraternal. You don't have the qualifications to take the imperial examination. Unless you join the army and start from a young age, you will be at the forefront of the war and face swords and traps. You have no relationship and you will die quickly. There are thousands of dead bones in the wilderness, but only one general triumphantly returns.
There is no retribution for bad people. If you don't kill him, he will still be at large. He hurt you and got a lot of rewards. He will hurt you again next time. He has no grudges against you, but he hurt you and he has money. Because he hurt you, he deserves to die.
I don't know if you will become very powerful. I hope you are alive, healthy and safe.
The mountain road is long.
The night wind is warm.
Jiang Changtian thought, he will at least be a good father.
He would walk behind the child, send him forward, and remove all thorns for him.
For the sake of the child, he would be willing to have his hands stained with blood and full of evil, but he would not regret it.
Jiang Feng was talking excitedly, but suddenly felt that his father was not following him. He turned around and shouted, "Dad, hurry up, mother, our sisters are waiting for us at home."
Jiang Changtian nodded, "I am coming."
