Chapter 141 Bludgeoning
Seeing that the two sides were about to start quarreling, there was a commotion in the hall. Elder lin asked about the incident after a few words and knelt down to beg the county magistrate." County magistrate, although our family is poor, they have always acted on their conscience. We will not accept the crime of poisoning today. In addition, he also requested his lordship to uphold justice, open the autopsy, find out the truth, and give the lin family a clean name. "
The magistrate saw that the bitter lord's younger brother was going to cry and cry against him, and his brain was in pain. After all, one side was fighting with reason, while the other was crying, and no one was upset.
Hence, startled wood slapped," withdraw from the court and allow the court to be interrogated later." All prisoners are in custody! "
With that, he rolled his sleeves and went back to the back hall.
There was no way for them to stay behind and wait.
A police officer approached the lin family and greeted them with his slanted eyes," let's go. Are you still waiting for us?" "
Old master lin wasn' t angry at all. He took out a piece of silver from his chest and stuffed it into his chest. He smiled and said," little brother, our old man and little girl are not well. We have to trouble our brothers to take care of them these few days. When things were settled, they would definitely set up some of the best tables in the reception hall. Thank you, brothers, for taking care of them. "
The servant felt that the money was heavy and his face immediately changed. He grinned and replied," oh my, old master, you' re too kind. It wasn' t a big deal in the first place. The snacks in your lin family's shop are famous in the city. My family has bought a few catties of them. Apart from the delicious food, there's nothing wrong with them. It could not be said that today's incident was a misunderstanding and soon passed. "
Old master lin quickly bowed and thanked him. He couldn' t help but put another piece of silver in his pocket." Well, I hope brother can help us check the prison. We' ll try our best to let our family live together so that we can take care of them." I will send a few tables of wine, the weather is cold, the brothers busy for a long time, also cushion the stomach. "
"Oh, thank you, old man. "
When the servants got the money and had the meat and wine to eat, they naturally rejoiced. They called out to the three brothers and led the lin family to the prison.
However, the bitter lord's side was no longer so harmonious.
A dead person can not vent his anger, who is afraid of bad luck.
The officers waited for a long time, but the brother of the bitter lord didn' t even take out any money to pay them any attention. They lost their good looks and didn' t care if he was pitiful or not.
If those who didn' t know what was going on saw it, they would have thought that the lin family was the plaintiff and that the bitter lord's brother was a criminal of great crimes.
The prison in beimao county was on the side of the county magistrate's office.in fact, it was just a big courtyard.the surrounding rooms were occupied by prison wards.they were usually on duty, and there was a dungeon built on the ground.there were more than ten rooms, wooden fences with thick arms, and straw piled up in the fences, even if it was a bed.
All the year round, no one was cleaning up, and the prisoner was eating, drinking, and scattering in the same room, so naturally, it was not as clean as anywhere else.
The lin family's young and old were locked in the biggest room. Almost as soon as they entered the house, Wang Yan began to cry.
"I want to go home, it's too dirty, I'm afraid! "
Lin ren boldly kicked the pile of grass and tried to comfort her." Mother, don' t be afraid ..."
Before he could finish speaking, two big rats sprang out of the haystack, scaring Wang Yan into screaming.
The prisoners in custody next to them were staring at their family and laughing at this.
"Oh, where did this rich man come from, afraid of rats? That was good meat. The size of a palm was enough to keep them from starving for a day, but they didn' t know their sincerity. They didn' t even want to eat it in a few days! "
"No, I bet for a month they'll be looking forward to the mouse as if it were their father! "
"I bet half a month! "
The crowd clamored loudly, and the lin family's faces turned sour. Wang Yan even wanted to eat rats and throw up.
At this time, two jailers came over and shouted," what are you doing? If you want to keep your skin tight, you should have said so. "
The wicked have their own wicked grind, just now also the perpetrator of the evil voice of the people heard this immediately turned back to squat in the corner, really more obedient than children.
The two jailers scolded each other for a while before they walked to the lin family's room and shouted," behave yourselves. Don' t think that this is still your home. If you dare to be dishonest, I' ll beat you half to death. "
Lin dahe quickly bowed and smiled. We must have something in the house for a while, and we hope to be taken care of by men in the future. "
"That's more like it." The two jailers had just received the words from the front officer, and they knew what was going on, but they still said," it's the rule here for each of you to enter the house and kill thirty batons. Since you are a family, one person will be punished. Come on, who's coming out? "
As the name suggests, the killing stick was the killing stick, which was almost as few as the beating board.
Hearing this, Wang Yan was the first to step back to the haystack, not even afraid of rats in it.
Instead, master jiang stepped forward and said," let me do it. "
"No, uncle jiang. You' re old, how can you be beaten?" "
Lin dahe naturally disagreed, but lin renyi also hugged his master's arm." Master, we' re hit by a stick. You can' t go." "
Lin hua also shouted," my skin is rough and my flesh is thick, I go!" "
Although lin dahe had been an apprentice since he was young and was in charge of his business, he was much more cunning and shrewd than the lin family, but he was still the lin family's bloodline and never lacked the responsibility of a man.
He pushed the crowd, opened the door, and went out, saying," let's go, I'll take the punishment. "
Everyone wanted to fight again, but the wooden door was locked. Seeing that his father's back was straight and taken away, lin renyi's eyes immediately turned red.he then looked at the woman who was hiding at the side, her face full of guilt, and the feelings in their hearts were too complicated.
Master jiang sighed and found a clean place. He hugged two of his disciples and called lin hua to one side to sit down. Even if lin dahe was not around, he would not be able to use his age. He would always try his best to protect the three children and not let them be frightened.
Lin dahe wasn' t too far away.he turned a corner and found that there were many executions here, and there were still traces of blood on the four walls, and the timid people came in.they were afraid that they would have confessed before they were beaten.
One of the jailers tied lin dahe to a bench, pulled down his pants, raised a thick cane and began to smoke.
Lin dahe was not mentally prepared. He almost bit his tongue in pain. When he woke up, he was pulled out of his daze.
At this time, they heard someone outside shouting," brothers, what are you busy with, out to eat meat and drink." "
The jailer, who had taken action, poked his head out and asked," where did the meat come from? "
The people outside smiled and replied," from the lin family. Third lu sent them to the front. I heard that the lin family was generous and sent three tables directly. All of us have a share. "
"I see." The jailer shrank back, picked up the cane and pulled it on the chair leg a few more times, then loosened the tie for lin dahe.
"Shopkeeper lin, you can go back. I' ll get someone to send you some medicine and wipe it off. It' ll be fine in a few days." "
Lin dahe's forehead was sweating from the pain. When he heard that there was an arrangement at home, he quickly put on his pants and walked to his cell.
But the brother of the poor lord, who was also brought with the stick, cried out in alarm," oh, where am I?" "
