Chapter 197 Breakthrough

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

The sound of whipping suddenly came from the depths of the silent prison. The rhythm of the whip first changed from rapid to slow, showing the anger in the heart of the whipper.

But it didn’t take long for the frequency of the whip to hit people slowly slowed down, and the force also began to weaken little by little. However, this was not due to the conscience of the beating prison guard who suddenly became soft-hearted, but because of the whipping.

The time was so long that my arms became sore.

"You fucking dead bitch, wake up! Don't think I don't know you're pretending to be dead!"

Hearing the jailer's cry, Zhang Jingsheng slowly raised his head. In order to get him to confess, the people from the Baoshan County government gave him a brutal beating. From last night to this morning, the jailers had whipped him for a full day.

One night.

As a scholar, Zhang Jingsheng had suffered a lot in the past, even if he went to the ground, not to mention the severe beating at this time. At this time, he had no good flesh on his body, and his entire chest and back had been beaten.

The skin is torn apart.

However, even though Jingsheng was just a scholar, he never confessed. This was not only because of the slander against him by the whole Baoshan County, but also because he still had some unrealistic illusions about obtaining fame in the future.

"Damn it, this kid is pretending to be dead! Please water me again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a jailer took a bucket of water and poured it on Zhang Jingsheng. The cold and biting well water poured on Zhang Jingsheng's wound, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Zhang Jingsheng, the evidence that you secretly helped Zhen Shanhu and others escape from prison is a foregone conclusion. Are you going to take action or not?"

Zhang Jingsheng slowly raised his head. Under his disheveled hair was a dirty face covered in blood. Looking at the ferocious jailer in front of him, Zhang Jingsheng said softly.

"I...I said if it wasn't me, it wasn't me. What exactly do you want me to recruit?"

The jailer responsible for whipping Zhang Jingsheng slowly walked aside and took a sip of strong liquor. After beating someone in this weather, after taking a sip, his whole body was immediately warm. Even his originally sore and limp arms were able to recover and regain some strength.

Share your strength.

Walking up to Zhang Jingsheng with the wine bowl in hand, the jailer sighed.

"Zhang Jingsheng, we all know your true identity as a scholar in the county. We don't want to embarrass you on weekdays, but you should never offend the county magistrate. In the past, at most, you would

Spend some money, but after the gangster Pang Zhen ran away, we in Baoshan County need someone to take the blame. Otherwise, we in Baoshan County, including the county magistrate, will not be able to get a good deal, so naturally, you will become this

scapegoat."

Regarding the jailer's words, Zhang Jingsheng lowered his head as if he didn't hear it. The jailer was not angry about this, but walked to the other side of him.

"Zhang Jingsheng, in fact, no matter whether you recruit or not, you are already dead. If the adults above want to accuse you, no one can stop them. From the county magistrate to the master, to the chief registrar, the county magistrate, that one

Why don't you, sir, expect you to die? You can only show your talents in your next life, either by being reincarnated into a wealthy family, or by offending people you shouldn't offend."

The jailer took another sip of wine.

"Zhang Jingsheng, Zhang Shusheng! Although you are already dead, there are different ways to die. If you cooperate with us and confess now, our brothers will leave immediately without taking action, and they will also make preparations

We will serve you good wine and meat so that you can eat and drink comfortably. After you die, my brothers will remember to burn paper money for you."

Zhang Jingsheng still lowered his head and did not answer, but an official came up next to the jailer who asked the question.

"Old Xutou, the county magistrate has said that no matter what, we must get the evidence of Zhang Jingsheng's signature and signature this evening."

Old man Xu, an old jailer for more than 30 years, frowned. He really didn't expect that this poor scholar who had never seen Xue was actually a tough guy. Thinking of this, old man Xu increased his tone and said to Zhang Jingsheng.

.

"Zhang Jingsheng

!Now the indictment is right in front of you. As long as you nod, I will put your handprints on it. If you confess your crime honestly, I will also inform the person who beheaded you when I behead you.

He will kill you with one knife, and it won't cause you any pain. But if you are still like a stone in a pit - smelly and hard, I will let the executioner leave your head.

I'll stick half an inch on your neck so that you can suffer a lot before you die. Don't doubt that what I'm telling you is a lie. People like us may not be as good at reading and writing as you, but when it comes to torturing people, it's very difficult.

Zhang Jingsheng is not as good as any of us! I will give you the last few breaths of time now, you can think clearly whether to take action or not!"

No matter how Old Xutou's tone changed, Zhang Jingsheng remained motionless as if he were dead. Old Xutou, who always felt that he was ruthless, felt that he was helpless against a scholar and it was really shameful, so he poured the bowl into the bowl.

He poured the liquor into his mouth in one gulp and sprayed it all on Zhang Jingsheng's body.

Zhang Jingsheng couldn't help grinning at the severe pain caused by the strong alcohol touching the wound. Old Xu rushed over, grabbed Zhang Jingsheng's hair and shouted in his ear.

"My surname is Zhang, I have said all my good and bad things now, and your patience is about to be worn out. Originally, I didn't want to involve your family, but if you really don't want to do anything, I have no choice.

!”

Hearing the word "family", Zhang Jingsheng's calm body began to tremble violently. When he noticed this change, Old Xu Tou stepped up and spoke.

"Zhang Jingsheng! Don't forget that you have an old lady at home. She is so old and we don't want to invite her here again, but if you are still so stubborn, we will have to take this step.

Already."

Zhang Jingsheng, who had been whipped for a whole night without shouting, had tears silently falling from the corners of his eyes. When Old Xu Tou saw this scene, he almost shouted out in excitement.

"Zhang Jingsheng, they say you are a filial son, but don't bring disaster to your family when you are about to die. You have never been able to let your mother live a comfortable life for a few days in your life, so why should you do it when you are about to die?

Is it okay to be your mother's supporter? Zhang Jingsheng, as long as you confess, not only will I not cause trouble to your mother, I will also give your mother ten taels of silver in private to satisfy your filial piety!"

Seeing Zhang Jingsheng just crying, Old Xu Tou couldn't help but feel a little upset, so he gave instructions to the official behind him.

"Someone is coming!"

"etc……"

At this critical moment, Zhang Jingsheng, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. He raised his head and glanced at the people standing in the prison, as if he wanted to imprint them into his bones, but he

Although his eyes were stern, they could not help but look a bit ridiculous in the eyes of the jailers and officials.

Finally, Zhang Jingsheng lowered his head feebly, and he was silent for a while again. Just when Old Xu Tou's patience was about to be worn out again, he choked out two words from his mouth.

"I'll do it!"



At night, the shadows of two people were reflected in the dim candlelight of the county government office in Baoshan County.

"Sir, this is Zhang Jingsheng's confession of having an affair with the Taihu Mountain bandits and helping them escape from prison."

The county magistrate took the incriminating document and read it. After careful inspection, he realized that it was Zhang Jingsheng's handwriting and fingerprint.

"Well done. After all, this case has been registered with the county, so we must have an explanation for this matter no matter what. Otherwise, if the county investigates it, none of us will be able to get away with it."

The master nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes! Your Excellency is right. Now that Jingsheng has confessed his crime, how should we deal with him?"

The county magistrate said slowly after pondering for a while.

"It's going to be a long night and a lot of dreams. The sooner this case is closed, the better. In my opinion, beheading Zhang Jingsheng in public three days later is the best ending. Even if the superiors find out, we can still die without any evidence. Then we will spend more money."

With some money, it won’t be difficult to suppress this matter.”

After the master heard this, he quickly started filming again

Flattery.

"My lord is right, I will go down and make arrangements right now."

Seeing the master walking away in a hurry, the county magistrate's heart slowly dropped into his stomach. He didn't want to make such a big fuss when he first took office. You know, he hadn't even started to work properly.

There is money to be made in the position of Baoshan County Magistrate!

But after he put his mind back, he thought of the bandits in Taihu Mountain who had swayed with him, and his eyes immediately darkened.

"Zhenshanhu? Do you really think I am easy to deceive? We have a long way to go to see who can have the last laugh. You won't have such a chance next time!"

After thinking so much, the county magistrate never thought about how unfair his actions were to Zhang Jingsheng in prison, nor did he think about whether his thoughts were worthy of the clothes he was wearing.

Wearing the official uniform of Da Chu, he never thought that his retribution would come so quickly!



Baoshan County has been very lively these days. For Baoshan County, which has never had any major events, prison robbery can be said to have become a topic of conversation for everyone. Although they dare not say that they are incompetent in front of those officials, in private, Baoshan County

These common people are idiots if they don’t call them names!

They also said that all their skills were used to exploit ordinary people like them, so what ability did they have to deal with those bandits who came and went without a trace?

However, after the first night of searching, Baoshan County slowly returned to calm. After all, no one thought that those bandits would stay here to seek death. Neither the people nor the officials in the county knew that these bandits and the prisoners were

What does the scapegoat in it have to do with it?

To the east of Baoshan County, in the courtyard of a seemingly well-to-do family, four or five men from all walks of life in night clothes were guarding the gate.

In addition, these men can be seen on the roof and on the big trees outside the house. They can detect the slightest movement within a few hundred meters of the yard.

In the yard and inside the house, several heads of Taihushan who should have left long ago in the eyes of Baoshan County people were sitting opposite each other.

"Brother, according to the information obtained by the brothers, Brother Zhang in the prison has been beaten into submission by the county magistrate. It is said that Brother Zhang endured it all night without speaking. Later, those dog officers used his mother as a threat, and Brother Zhang was forced to

Unfortunately, I got a confession."

Pang Zhen punched the table, and a punch mark was immediately left on the table.

"Damn dog officer, it's all up to me. Originally, I thought it wouldn't matter if I put the responsibility on Brother Zhang. I could just take him with me when you come to rescue me. But I really didn't expect that Brother Zhang wouldn't want to."

Come with me."

The second boss said.

"Brother, after all, it was our Taihushan who implicated Brother Zhang in this matter, and Brother Zhang is a scholar after all. It is human nature not to want to get too involved with bandits like us, but our top priority now is

I need to think of a foolproof plan and how to rescue Brother Zhang. Regardless of whether he is willing to go up the mountain with me or not, we must rescue him first."

Pang Zhen nodded, but when it came to rescuing people, he didn't have any good ideas. The impatient Third Master asked.

"Brother, the dog officer has ordered that Brother Zhang will be beheaded at the street market in three days. We must come up with a plan quickly."

In response, the second-in-command also looked at his eldest brother nervously, while Pang Zhen also had sweaty palms.

Pang Zhen tightened and loosened his fists, loosened and tightened again, and after doing this several times, he slapped the table hard.

"That's it!"

"Brother has thought of some good idea!"

The second master and the third master looked at their eldest brother with burning eyes.

"His grandma is a bear. Even if the King of Heaven comes, I will save that scholar. Anyway, I have already robbed the prison. Let's rob him again!"
