It's not that Su Ren has never experienced fighting. He also fought when he was in school, but compared with today, the fights at that time were really not called fights, they were purely after eating. The boss of the salt dealer obviously wanted to kill them.
He was about to die, so this time he was risking his life.
"Go!" As soon as he came out of the exit, a dozen men in black rushed over with sticks in their hands, with a very ferocious posture. Leng Jun didn't move, and Su Ren didn't move either. There was a dead end behind them. Unless they beat these people down,
There is absolutely no way to escape.
Seeing Leng Jun jumping back and forth among the sticks, Su Rigan was anxious and had no choice. He searched around, hoping to find bricks or wooden sticks, but the alley was too clean and there was no one who could take advantage of him.
Those men in black also saw that Leng Jun was a tough guy, so they all gathered around Leng Jun and beat him wildly. After a few blows, Leng Jun had already been hit twice, and he was dodging left and right after being beaten, but he had no strength to fight back. Su Ren wanted to go up.
I wanted to help, but I was afraid that I would be hit too. I moved back and forth, but couldn't find an opportunity. I could only lament that it was hard to beat four hands with two fists.
I don't know who hit Leng Jun on the head with a stick, and blood immediately fell down. Seeing Leng Jun being knocked to the ground by more than a dozen people, Su Ren could only bravely rush up. Just when he came to the outside of the battle group, he swung the stick down.
, Su Ren quickly raised his arm to block. The stick hit Su Ren's arm firmly, and a burst of heart-wrenching pain almost made Su Ren unconscious.
Ignoring the sticks on the outside, Su Ren protected his head with both hands and hit a guy in the stomach. This blow was very powerful and knocked the man in black to the ground. Before he could be happy, he was hit on the back again.
A few sticks. Su Ren had been knocked unconscious. His knees were weak and he curled up on the ground, letting the sticks keep hitting him. It felt very uncomfortable. He was beaten like a sandbag. His whole body hurt, especially when the sticks hit him.
The joints are even more painful.
Su Ren regretted a little. Those time-travelers in the novel became prosperous after arriving in ancient times. Why were they beaten when it was his turn? He didn't know how many times he was beaten, but suddenly he felt his body light up.
Ren's first thought was that he was dead. No more sticks fell, and he was curled up on the ground unable to move. The sounds he heard in his ears were miserable, including all kinds of shouts and wailings.
After about a moment of burning the incense, the sound stopped. Someone grabbed his arm, and Su Ren quickly curled up tighter.
Leng Jun's face was covered with blood, one arm was hanging by his side, and the other hand lifted Leng Jun up: "Get up, they are all gone! Oops!"
Su Ren slowly let go of his hands, and stood up tremblingly with the help of cold hands. His face was distorted. Everything was dark: "Did you beat him away?"
"If it's not me, could it be you?" Leng Jun said angrily: "Where did the attitude of hitting me go? If you really attack me, it will be useless."
Su Ren moved his body, but he was too hurt to move. "Aren't you a master? I'll give you a chance to show off. I didn't expect you to be useless."
There was a sound of "Fuck it". Leng Jun grunted and put his dislocated arm back in place. There should be no problem after moving it for a while. The two people helped each other out of the alley.
Mr. Tou stood at the entrance of the alley, followed by three or five other men. When he saw Su Ren and Leng Jun, their faces as black as the bottom of a pot, he shouted coldly: "Take it down!"
The gentleman rushed forward and pushed the two of them to the ground.
Su Ren shouted: "Why arrest us? We are victims, let go!"
The princes paid no attention to them and only focused on tying them up. They tied up Su Ren and Leng Jun, and each of them was held up by two people and stood in front of the prince's head.
The male leader said: "The bold thief actually hurt someone in broad daylight. We caught him on the spot and put him in jail. He will wait for the county magistrate to interrogate him before making a decision!"
"You're fucking confusing right and wrong. Is there any law left in this world?"
"Wang Fa? I am Wang Fa!" Gongrentou looked at Su Ren and sneered: "Take it away!"
Su Ren was speechless. What this man said was right. Where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, people are really kings. Even without these words, to chop off their two heads with one knife and then report them as thieves is not only nothing wrong.
On the contrary, there is meritorious service. This is the feudal dynasty, ordinary people have no status at all, and the officials can do whatever they want.
I had never entered the county government prison before, and there was a stench as soon as I entered. When they heard someone coming, those who had been arrested before immediately rushed to the door of the prison and shouted loudly that they were wronged. More than a dozen men swung their weapons and started shouting.
There was a sudden knock, and the whole cell was filled with howls of ghosts and wolves.
Different from the ancient cells shown on TV, there are no wooden fences at all. The entire cell is made of stone, with a long corridor in the middle and solid wooden doors on the left and right. It feels like entering a tube building. In the corridor, several
The torch was burning brightly, but it looked eerie.
The jailer opened a cell door, and Su Ren and Leng Jun were thrown in and fell heavily to the ground.
He could hear the sound of the door closing behind him. Su Ren's whole body was in pain. After struggling twice, it was difficult to get up. It was very dark in the cell, and he couldn't see his fingers. The faint moonlight shone in from the hole in the wall, and it happened to shine on a
On the foot. The foot quickly retracted and shrank into the darkness.
"Ouch!" Su Ren took a breath and turned over with difficulty: "Leng Jun, are you still alive?"
"Better life than you!"
"That's good, that's good!" He smiled and his whole body ached.
Leng Jun limped to Su Ren's side, leaning his back against the wall, and sat down little by little: "Now it's over, all that's left is to wait for death."
"We didn't do anything illegal, so why should we die? Is it possible that the county magistrate is a master who cares about human life? Besides, they have no evidence, so what are they afraid of?"
He smiled helplessly: "Whether you really don't know or you are pretending not to know, you haven't noticed it yet. The man and the boss of the smuggled salt smuggling are originally a group. If we were not beaten to death, this cell must be safe."
I can’t get out.”
"Don't worry, not only can we go out, but the county magistrate has asked us to go out. Don't worry, get some sleep first and worry about it tomorrow morning."
The dark cell was dark and cold, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air. I don’t know how the jailers survived here. Apart from having more freedom than the prisoners, there was no other difference. The smell was terrible.
, I still had to smell it. My whole body ached, and I felt uncomfortable no matter how much I slept. I moved around, and it was only in the latter half of the night that I finally fell asleep.
When he woke up, the door of the cell was opened. The man looked at Su Ren with a smile on his face. When Su Ren opened his eyes, he saw a smelly mouth, unshaven beard, and an ugly look. He quickly shrank back.
: "What to do?"
The prince smiled and said: "The county minister wants to see Mr. Su, so he will send a servant to pick you up."
Su Ren rolled his eyes at the gentleman and shook the shackles on his hands: "Is this how you invite people?"
The gentleman quickly waved behind him. Someone came over and opened Su Ren's shackles, and was about to stand up. Su Ren pointed at Leng Jun beside him: "There is also him, he is my brother."
"Easy to say, easy to say, hurry up, help Taoist Master Leng open it too."
Compared to last night, the man's head looked as if he had eaten bee shit. His eyes were smiling and his big mouth never closed. Su Ren estimated that this guy's face would be sour when he had lunch.
The gentleman first raised his hands and said: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, I was really helpless last night. If I don't bring you two, those people will definitely not leave. There is nothing I can do about it. There are seniors and juniors, so it's hard to offend those people."
, I have no choice but to feel wronged to you two.”
When the fight started last night, Su Ren was still wondering why he didn't see the patrol officers coming. You should know that when he made a scene at the back gate of the county government office, the officers had already gathered around him without a cup of tea. It turned out that the officers had already gathered around him.
People are also afraid that the underworld is really not just pretending to be so involved. Two words, it’s so fucking awesome. No, it seems like there are a few more words.
Follow the man's head out of the back door of the cell. There is an ox cart waiting outside. This is the first time to ride in an ox cart. The Han Dynasty was short of horses, especially in the Central Plains. Even the governor of a state could only ride a horse.
There are horse-drawn carriages, and the lower officials only have ox-carts. This car may be the county magistrate's car, and ordinary people will never have this treatment.
It was still the back door of the county government office, it was still the same door, and Chang Yuan was still standing at the door. Su Ren and Leng Jun got out of the car and left in a hurry. They didn't change their clothes. They were unkempt and covered in injuries.
Chang Yuan glared at Gongtou, who quickly lowered his head.
Su Ren said with a smile: "It's really not a good idea to meet the county magistrate like this, but there is nothing clean in the cell, so I have to ask the housekeeper for a basin of clean water. Thank you for your hard work!"
Chang Yuan said yes again and again. Gongtou felt relieved, but he was also grateful to Su Ren.
Menzi was a shrewd man, so he quickly went in, found a copper basin, filled up some water, and asked Su Ren and Leng Jun to wash their faces.
The county magistrate Changshi was sitting on the Taishi chair, admiring flowers in the back garden. In a small wilderness county, there were no beautiful flowers. I got a few orchids from somewhere. Now they only have leaves, and they are still in a state of languor. Looking at
He looked like he was going to die soon. But Chang Shi looked happy, holding the teapot in his hand and pouring himself the disgusting tea soup one sip at a time.
Chang Yuan went to the door first to report to the county magistrate. Then he invited Su Ren and Leng Jun to go in. Chang Shi did not look back at all: "I heard that you two had a fight with the people from the Salt Gang last night? Could it be that you also want to be a smuggler?"
Salt’s business?”
Su Rendao: "If the county magistrate is admiring flowers here, is he going to do the same thing as a flower picker?"
"Pfft...!" Chang Shi spat out a mouthful of tea and his face turned green. He suddenly turned around, with tea foam still stuck to his beard: "You bastard, how dare you tease me!"
"Haha!" Su Ren chuckled: "Don't be angry, county magistrate. It's just a joke. Didn't you ask why we fight with the salt gang? In fact, they are interested in my method of making salt."
"How to make salt! Do you really have a way to make salt?" Chang Shi didn't even bother to wipe the tea soup on his beard, staring straight at Su Ren. (To be continued)
