Yan Xiaoyi and others are young and energetic, and have an impatient temper. Previously, they could not stand the injustice and hurt people who were sentenced to exile in Lanzhou. They are also young and energetic, and their grievances have not disappeared. Just now they saw Xu Huai entangled Wang Kongcai and went to the hospital regardless of the consequences. Block before.
There was all kinds of oppression and bullying in the prison camp, and the food in the prison camp was so poor that they had been in prison for two or three years. They could not help but feel sick after eating, and they were already full of resentment.
Hearing Xu Huai's greeting, Yan Xiaoyi stepped forward and kicked over the rough wooden table. Another young prisoner, Shen Zhene, picked up a wooden stool and broke the water tank in the corner of the hut. , water leaked all over the place.
"Yan Xiaoyi, Zhene, stop it! Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, Mr. Xu, calm down, we can bear these meals!" Wang Kong had quick eyes and quick hands, stepped forward and grabbed Yan Xiaoyi, Shen Zhene, and persuaded Xu Huai Calm down.
Wang Kong couldn't tell for a moment that Xu Huai, a reckless guy, really couldn't stand the attack, or that he was secretly instigated by Wang Zhen to deliberately come to the prison camp to cause trouble. He always felt that something was fishy. No matter what, Xu Huai had Wang Zhen's support behind him, so he made trouble. No matter how big the situation is, it is possible for them to go without incident, but Yan Xiaoyi, Shen Zhene, and the others are assassination prisoners. If they cause trouble, the crime will be increased, and they may be hacked to death on the spot.
Since Xu Huai deliberately acted stupidly, he would not let Wang Kong, who was more calm than brave, stand in his way. He punched Wang Kong in the face and cursed:
"You Wang Kong is really ignorant. I was blind as hell and thought you were a good guy. The prison boss bullied you to pee and poop on your head. I will vent your anger on you today. You actually want to shrink into my mother-in-law's crotch." !”
Wang Kong did not dare to fight back, and tried very hard to block Xu Huai's heavy punches. His body was beaten back and forth, and he kept saying to save his life: "Master Xu, calm down, Mr. Xu, calm down! I will be released after a few more years of hard labor." , why not endure this grievance..."
"You're so stupid! I won't tolerate this arrogant young man today!" Xu Huai's punch passed by Wang Kong's face and hit the pillar of the hut.
Hearing a "click" sound next to his ears, the wooden pillar as thick as the mouth of the bowl broke unexpectedly. He was so scared that Wang Kong broke out in a cold sweat. He thought about how this reckless guy could be so strong-tempered. If this punch hit him who was so weak at this time, , isn’t half his life lost?
"Master Xu, the Beaver King is also afraid that you will fight for us and cause trouble for himself - whatever you say, we will listen to you. Master Xu, please don't do anything! I am a thief and I am not afraid of right and wrong!" Yan Xiaoyi and Shen Zhene stepped forward and grabbed Xu Huai, urging him not to be angry with Wang Kong.
Yan Xiaoyi and Shen Zhen were not the only ones who were filled with resentment against all kinds of oppression and bullying in the prison camp, as well as the food that pigs and dogs ate.
There are thousands of prisoners with a calm temperament like Wang Kong, and there are definitely many who are frightened by the two repressions later in the year. However, there is definitely no shortage of prisoners who are sent to Bianzhou with violent temperaments and daring people.
And those evil villains were eager to find an opportunity to vent their anger. They wanted to move forward and tear down the bones of the straw shed, Zhu Xiaotong, Cheng Yanqing and other camp managers and prison heads.
Xu Huai made trouble, kicked up rice urns, smashed straw huts, injured old officials, and clamored to burn down the prison camp. Zhu Xiaotong and Cheng Yanqing were so angry that they just wanted to attack Wang Cun, and wanted to send someone to beat the troublemaker Xu Huai out of the prison camp with sticks. , but when they saw thousands of prisoners making noise together, they were so frightened that their hands and feet became weak:
Is this a riot?!
There are thousands of prisoners, 30 to 40 people with murder cases, and many are gangsters who kill without batting an eye. If they really want to riot, their few manpower will not be enough until the soldiers from the Caochengzhai forbidden camp arrive to suppress it.
Teeth gap!
"Xu Huai, you bastard, what are you going to do again?" Wang Zhen was furious at this moment and cursed loudly. He also picked up a long wooden stick in his hand and whipped it towards Xu Huai.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
Just now, Xu Huai was as powerful as a tiger, breaking beams and pillars with one punch, frightening everyone with his momentum. But now he hugged his head and face with both hands, jumped to hide behind Zhu Xiaotong, screamed, and grabbed the little chicken like a chicken.
Zhu Xiaotong, a thin man, grabbed hold of him and used it as a shield to block Wang Zhen's wooden stick which he whipped at random.
"Ah, it hurts, Wang Langjun, Wang Xianggong, don't hit me again, it's me!" Zhu Xiaotong screamed sadly.
The scene was a bit chaotic and a bit funny.
The anger in the hearts of many prisoners had just been ignited. At this moment, they all looked at each other, wondering whether they should step forward to tear down the hayloft and light up the bird prison camp.
"Xu Huai, don't be so arrogant towards Zhu Guanying!" Lu Xiong, Xu Xin'an, Tang Pan and others stepped forward to grab Xu Huai at this time and snatched Zhu Xiaotong from Xu Huai's hand.
At the same time, they will also protect Xu Huai and Wang Zhen behind them to prevent them from playing with fire too much. Once the situation is out of control, they can only escort Wang Zhen and Xu Huai away first.
"I don't want to burn this prison camp," Xu Huai shouted with his mouth flat, "Wang Xianggong, you said people should have a temper, and I entered the prison camp just to see if there is any injustice here - I acted according to your words, you
Why do you just whip me?"
"You bastard, how dare you talk nonsense?"
Wang Zhen was also very angry about the current situation in the prison camp. He brought out this anger and "reprimanded" Xu Huai. He took a wooden stick and banged on the wooden pillars of the thatched shed, and his voice and look were very fierce.
"There are injustices in the prison camp. As officials of Dai Viet, we must have a good temper when serving the court, and we must not be at odds with each other. But who told you to burn this prison camp? You bastard, you don't know the importance of doing things.
Slow illness? Didn’t you hear that I was talking to Zhu Guanying about the food issue and advised him to find ways to improve it? "
"Who wouldn't be angry after seeing this food that dogs and pigs don't eat?" Xu Huaijuan said sternly, "If you call me angry, of course I want to burn down this prison camp and kill all these corrupt officials one by one.
!Besides, I’m just talking about it, I haven’t started burning it yet!”
"You are talking so much nonsense. Shut your mouth! Tang Qing and Yin Peng, tie up this bastard and put him in a cell. Tell him to reflect in this prison camp," Wang Xun scolded.
Regardless of being polite, Yin Peng imprisoned Xu Huai in a cell with Tang Qing in his sight. Only then did he have some free time and said to Zhu Xiaotong, "I will borrow a cell here and ask this fool to reflect for ten days. Zhu Guanying won't allow it, right?"
"
Zhu Xiaotong had just seen thousands of prisoners making a fuss and was so frightened that his legs were weak. At this time, except for the redness and swelling on his face from being slapped by Wang Zhen with a stick, the color of his face had not yet recovered, and his mind was stuck. Why?
I will think of rejection.
He hoped that Wang Zhen could calm the scene and not let them be torn to pieces by the noisy prisoners.
"The matter of feeding the prison camp is still the responsibility of the Administrative Council. I could only give you some advice from the side, but the current situation does not allow me not to give you a few harsh words."
Wang Chen stared at Zhu Xiaotong, Cheng Yanqing and some jailers who rushed over in a hurry from behind, and scolded him sternly,
"For prisoners in the prison camp, if they have family members accompanying them, their meals can be provided by their families; if they do not have family members accompanying them, all the prison officials have to shoulder their responsibilities. This is an official rule. As for the standard of meals, since the founding of the Dai Viet Dynasty, several generations of emperors have shown compassion for the people's hardships, and have repeatedly
The decree gives a fixed rule: two liters of rice per person per day, and an additional five cents for salt and vegetables. I want to ask Zhu Guanying, how far does the daily meal of the prisoners in Shichang Camp fall from this standard? Of course,
Zhu Guanying doesn't need to answer me. The Lanzhou Stone Quarry Supervisory Yuan has no control over the affairs of the Sili Yuan Prison Yard. However, these more than a thousand men work in the quarry every day. They want to ask Zhu Guanying what you are doing.
How much is the difference between daily meals and the amount set by the imperial court? Do you want to answer?"
Seeing Wang Zhen fighting for everyone's injustice, the prisoners no longer made any move, but they all roared at Zhu Xiaotong angrily: "How much does the imperial court set the rules? How much do you want us to do?"
Seeing that the prisoners no longer rushed towards him fiercely, Zhu Xiaotong calmed down for a moment. Thinking carefully about what Xu Huai had just said, he could guess that what was happening in front of him was what Wang Zhen had done intentionally.
What a ruthless method, driving the soldiers from the prison camp out of the stone field at noon, and inserting their hands into the prison camp at night?!
The problem is, even if he has the backing of Guo Zhongxiong and the even more powerful Cai Mansion, it is difficult to save a fire from afar at this time.
If Wang Zhen doesn't give a satisfactory answer today and leaves, how will he face these more than a thousand prisoners who are teetering on the edge of reason?
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiaotong felt annoyed and resentful, gritted his teeth and said:
"The junior official has only been in charge of the camp for ten days. He has noticed many bad examples. However, the state supervisor is urging the mining of stones and has not yet been able to spare his hands to improve the food. Since Wang Xianggong proposed it, today's meal will be taken care of first.
The imperial court has made a rule to cook a new meal, and whoever dares to deduct it in the future will be punished without mercy..."
"It's great that Zhu Guanying can be so reasonable," Wang Zhen said. "That bastard Xu Huai had a really violent temper, so he was imprisoned in the prison camp for a few days and asked to go to the stone quarry every day.
Work as punishment.”
"General Xu Du also has a temper of indignation. Even trivial things are not necessary..." Zhu Xiaotong didn't think that Wang Zhen imprisoned Xu Huai in the prison camp because he really wanted to punish his grandson. He didn't want to put this hot potato in his pocket. He couldn't wait to do it now.
Just throw it out.
"If there is no punishment, what's the point of everyone going to jail for such a trivial matter?" Wang Zhen said without any doubt, "I'll discuss it after I ask the warehouse chief whether the prison can temporarily detain Xiaoxiao.
"
Wang Zhen left Xu Huai in the prison camp and walked away. Zhu Xiaotong was also a little dumbfounded - he could guess that Wang Zhen had bad intentions in doing this, but he couldn't guess what they wanted to do. He saw thousands of prisoners still there.
Staring at it with eager eyes, he could only forcefully order the officials below to start cooking again, and get through the night first before looking for trouble with that man...
