When the visitor came closer, the two thugs saw that it was Chen Chang, Magistrate Chu and two jailers.
Chen Chang took a step forward with a smile: "You two, I'm afraid I need to inform you two of something!"
The two rogues looked at him.
"Are you sure that the remuneration your employer gave you is three dollars?"
The two scoundrels don’t know why.
Chen Chang continued: "We searched the carriage just now and found that there were three coins hidden in it. Did you ever know about this?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a jailer swung his hand behind his back forward, and a heavy cloth bag clattered onto the corridor of the prison.
As soon as the short man saw the cloth bag, he cursed: "Zhougoro, you bastard, how dare you... uh uh uh..."
Before he finished speaking, the tall man covered his mouth.
Chen Chang said to the tall man: "It seems you don't believe it anymore?"
The tall man said coldly: "Don't try to trick us, we won't accept your trick."
Chen Chang knelt down, opened the cloth bag, revealing the strings of copper coins, and said, "Take a good look, you also have a share in this money."
As soon as he finished speaking, the short man began to struggle again. He seemed to have something to say, but his mouth was covered by the tall man and he couldn't speak out. His eyes were wide open and he stared at Chen Chang. He didn't know whether he was angry with Chen Chang or because of it.
Angry at being betrayed by his brother.
He remembered clearly that the cloth bag containing the copper coins was actually a piece of cloth in the carriage. He rented the carriage and he would never mistake it.
It seems that their employer wanted to pay six guan, but that bastard Shogoro only told them three guan, so that he could cheat the two brothers' remuneration.
Chen Chang pulled the coins back and forth, and the jingling sound was particularly clear in the prison.
"Two brothers, with a companion like Shogoro, I really can't do anything for you! You were sold by someone, and you still helped them count their money!"
"These three payments, plus the one you got before, are probably just deposits. If my guess is correct, I'm afraid there will be another amount of money to get after the matter is completed, right?"
These three people are rogues. Chen Chang guessed that the employer would not pay them all in one lump sum, so this could be considered as giving them a thought.
The two scoundrels quickly made a calculation in their minds, and found out that the subsequent payment was only a lot more than the deposit. The total amount in the front was four guan, and the latter amount could be five, six, or even more.
This thing was done by three people. It stands to reason that each of them can get at least three guan or more, but after Shogoro's manipulation, all they got was just one guan.
Calculating this before and after, it’s a huge loss!
The short man was completely convinced that Shogoro secretly squandered the two brothers' hard-earned money.
The tall man also began to murmur in his heart.
At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps in the corridor, and a government servant with blood streaming from his head stumbled over.
"Lord County Lord, it's not good...it's not good...he ran away..."
Magistrate Chu waited for a long time and finally waited for his lines.
"It's unbecoming to act nonsense and panic!"
The yamen officer reported that the handlebar-style Shogoro wounded the yamen officer and escaped not long after he left the city.
"What?"
Magistrate Chu’s beard almost stood on end and he roared: “Trash, idiot, what does this county want you for?”
"A great living person actually ran away right before my eyes. Chase me. If you can't catch him, don't come back!"
The officer rolled and crawled out of the prison.
Chen Chang advised: "Your Excellency, please calm down. He has already escaped. It is useless to be angry again. All we need to do is let the government officials arrest him."
County Magistrate Chu shook his head repeatedly: "Chen Langjun, this county is ashamed, ashamed..."
Chen Chang said: "Since you Zhuang Wulang ran away, you will definitely go to find the remaining reward. If you know where they agreed to be, you may still be able to find them. If...sigh..."
The two ruffians were dumbfounded listening to their conversation.
Damn it, this bastard Shogoro actually ran away.
Didn't this run make it clear that they were connected with the criminals who kidnapped the people?
You take the benefits, and brothers suffer the consequences of prison. Is there anyone more shameless than you in the world?
The short man looked at the tall man, and his eyes almost burst into flames.
The tall man's eyes rolled around, and his faith began to loosen little by little.
At this moment, the angry-looking Magistrate Chu turned his attention to the two of them.
Although those two scoundrels scolded the eighteen generations of Shogoro's ancestors, no one would let go until the last moment. Instead, they all knelt down and cried out for injustice.
Magistrate Chu gritted his teeth and said: "You two must not mess up. As the saying goes, a minister must be loyal, a son must be filial, and a person must be sincere. Officials must be honest, and officials must be solemn. There are laws and regulations set by the court. Disobedience is allowed in the court, although it is said.
If you don't kill the innocent people, don't stop shouting. Everything has its own divine judgment, and God will not tolerate it if people have bad intentions."
"Before, you were either fooled by lard or coerced by others. You refused to tell the truth, and the county did not investigate you deeply at that time. Now, the county gives you another chance. If you are talking nonsense, the county will definitely not
Out of pity for the people, we will pursue you with severe punishment, but you can stop complaining to this county!"
When the two scoundrels heard this, they were a little frightened.
Magistrate Chu deliberately raised his hand to show his authority, but found that this was not a courtroom, and there was no jail, so he had to put his hand down and shouted: "Come here, hurry up and serve me!"
Chen Chang thought to himself: "The magistrate of Chu County has great official authority! It is still the authority of an official in this era!"
There was no shortage of torture instruments in the prison, and the jailer left in response. After a while, he brought in the clamp and put it in the corridor with a clatter.
Magistrate Chu did not call for punishment. Instead, he turned to Chen Chang who was standing next to him and said, "Chen Langjun, you don't know something. This county has always enforced harsh punishments and acted impartially. If you hadn't interceded for them before, this county would have been punished long ago."
They will be punished. Please ask Chen Langjun to stay away for a while, so as not to pollute your eyes and ears!"
Chen Chang said: "Thank you for your concern, Lord County Lord. I think these two people seem to have repented. Why don't you ask them again? If they recruit them truthfully, wouldn't it save everyone trouble and show the virtue of Lord County Lord?"
.If they insist not to recruit, it will not be too late to use criminal law."
At the end, he added another sentence: "The county magistrate must be wise and give both kindness and power to win the hearts of the people."
Magistrate Chu looked at the movements of the two scoundrels again and just lowered his head and kowtowed.
"Humph, I don't know how to appreciate it!"
County Magistrate Chu asked people to take action and capture the two gangsters.
The cell door was opened, and a stick was clamped on his body. The short man's face turned pale with fright, and he kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Please don't use the punishment. I'll tell you the truth. I beg you to be merciful and forgive me for the punishment..."
The tall man tried to stop him, but he was kicked over by a jailer and was chained up without any explanation.
Magistrate Chu sneered slightly, stretched out his hand and called to the short man: "Speak quickly! If it is justified, punishment will be spared."
The tall man shouted urgently: "Don't say it, don't say it..."
The jailer's eyes widened and he directly tied the iron chain around his mouth. His teeth rubbed against the iron chain, making a frightening sound.
The short man said with a grimace: "Reporting to the lord, this is what happened..."
