The first county magistrate in history

Chapter 108 Prison Bully

Two yamen runners came over, carried Xia Bitu and left.

One of them sneered, "Old man, you won't cry until you see the coffin? If no one brings the money by noon tomorrow, you're dead!"

Another said, "Old man, whether it's money or life, decide for yourself!"

Xia Bitu asked, "Does the prefect know what you are doing?"

The bailiff laughed: "What do you think, old man?"

Xia Bitu said nothing more, his face gloomy.

Not far away, Xia Mo Ning and Su Xiao Man were watching from afar.

Su Xiaoman said distressedly: "Master has been beaten!"

Xia Mo Ning gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go find my sister!"

Su Xiaoman said, "You go back. I'm going to go back and notify the special forces to get ready!" After that, she ran away quickly.

Xia Mo Ning scratched her head: "You don't trust me!"

Beicheng Prefecture Prison.

It's dark, hot, the air is murky and the smell is unpleasant.

There are only a few ventilation windows about one foot in size on the surrounding walls, which are two people high.

The lighting here also depends on these ventilation windows.

The cells were next to each other, each with three walls and an iron bar on one side.

From outside the iron bars, you can see that every cell is overcrowded!

The prisoners inside are of all kinds.

Some prisoners have hideous faces and cruelty flashing in their eyes, like a ferocious beast choosing its prey, which is chilling.

Some prisoners looked haggard and had dull eyes. They curled up in the grass on the ground, looking like they had lost all desire to live.

Almost all the prisoners were covered in blood.

"Boss Xu, send us here!" A big man with a face full of flesh shouted while standing in the prison gate.

The prison boss, known as Xu Tou'er, shouted, "Bai San'er, shut up!"

But he signaled the jailer who was holding a bunch of keys behind him to open the cell door.

The jailer unlocked the copper lock and opened the cell door.

"Get in!"

The three were pushed into the cell.

"Bai Saner, these three people are left to you!" Touer Xu ordered.

"I understand!" Bai Saner smiled, showing his big yellow teeth.

Wow!

The cell door closed and locked.

The jailer left with the jailer.

This cell is only about 30 square meters, but it holds more than 40 people.

Sitting on the dry grass like a knife fish.

Some have dull eyes, some look listless.

There were still a few lying there. It wasn't that they were particularly impressive, but rather that they were covered in blood and barely breathing. This was clearly the result of torture.

These prisoners are mostly pale and thin, with unkempt hair and dirty faces.

Behind Bai San stood six or seven ferocious-looking men. Only they were dressed neatly and had good physical fitness.

At this moment, several people stared at Qin Zheng and the other two fiercely.

Bai San glanced at the three men's clothes and waved his hand arrogantly: "Go, take off their clothes first. Then teach them some manners."

Several big men rubbed their hands together and walked over with a grin.

The space was not big to begin with, and they arrived in front of Qin Zheng and the other two in just a few steps.

Xia Jinzhong stood in front of his adoptive father, hesitating whether to fight or not.

Qin Zheng suddenly shouted, "Beat him until he surrenders."

Xia Jinzhong had been holding back his anger for a long time, and upon hearing this, he quickly took action.

Suddenly, there were wolves crying and ghosts howling, and several big men were beaten by Xia Jinzhong.

Xia Jinzhong was reluctant to use too much force, so he beat him for a while longer to vent his anger.

Bai San was beaten the most and was forced to kneel down and beg for mercy:

"Brother, stop fighting!"

"Grandpa, I surrender!"

"Ancestor, please spare your grandson..."

Qin Zheng walked over to the lying prisoners without even looking at them.

After checking them one by one, Qin Zheng returned to Xia Bitu with a gloomy face.

At this moment, Xia Bitu, with a bruised face and nose, was sitting near the door, where the dead grass was thicker.

When Qin Zheng saw it, he was like, wow, the Prime Minister is really good, he actually knew that this is where the office is.

How would Xia Bitu know?

He just thinks it's more relaxed here.

Xia Bitu looked at Qin Zheng with no expression on his face.

Qin Zheng sat beside him and sighed: "Those few will not survive!"

Xia Bitu's old face twitched a few times, but he didn't say anything.

Qin Zheng glanced at the several big men who were still being tortured by Xia Jinzhong, and said, "Uncle, you've worked so hard!"

Xia Bitu snorted coldly: "I am a vengeful person!"

Qin Zheng smiled: "Uncle, how about we make a bet?"

"What are you betting on?" Xia Bitu said unhappily.

He is now very careful with this monkey cub.

Qin Zheng said, "It's very simple. Let's bet on how many people in this cell have been wrongly accused!"

Xia Bitu turned to look at Qin Zheng: "What's the bet?"

Qin Zheng looked into Xia Bitu's eyes and said, "If you win, you will be responsible for the investigation. If I win, I will be responsible for the investigation!"

Xia Bitu's old face twitched again, and he looked at Qin Zheng speechlessly.

He will suffer whether he wins or loses, because the prefect of Beicheng is his man.

However, Qin Zheng cannot be allowed to investigate, otherwise, if things go wrong, all nine clans of the prefect will be beheaded.

After all, he is his disciple. Even if he wants to kill him, he must do it himself. This way, he can also intimidate his other disciples and tell them not to learn from Yue Shanlin.

But if Qin Zheng takes action, where would his reputation be as prime minister if he couldn't protect his disciples?

Xia Bitu looked at Qin Zheng, who looked harmless, with clear eyes and a serious expression. He really wanted to punch him in the face.

You are so mean. You cheated me, and I have to help you cheat me!

He had never been so frustrated.

But at the same time, he was excited.

Only such an opponent can be called an opponent and is worthy of fighting him!

Xia Bitu smiled. Although his face hurt, he still smiled: "Ninety percent!"

Qin Zheng shook his head: "Ninety-five percent!"

Pointing at Bai San and the others, he said, "Except for them, the others are all innocent. If you don't believe me, ask them one by one."

Xia Bitu looked at Qin Zheng and said, "You little monkey, how old am I? I can't take a beating for nothing. I win this round!"

Qin Zheng was speechless: "Uncle, you can't take advantage of your age."

Xia Bitu sneered: "What? Don't you give your uncle face?"

Qin Zheng scratched his head: "Okay, you are old, I will give in to you!"

Xia Bitu snorted coldly: "This is what a filial child should be!"

Qin Zheng: “…”

At this time, everyone in the cell looked at Xia Jinzhong in horror as he beat people.

Bai San was the prison bully in this cell, extremely vicious. But this man could actually beat the prison bully until he begged for mercy!

This person is even more terrifying!

Xia Jinzhong did not stop until Bai San and the others passed out from torture.

Despite such a big commotion, the prison boss didn't come in to check.

Xia Jinzhong sat on the other side of Xia Bitu with a dark face, not saying a word.

Qin Zheng suddenly lay down flat.

Xia Bitu was speechless: "You should just make the best of it now that you are here!"

Qin Zheng said, "We only have one prison meal a day here. Each person gets a steamed bun made of incense ash and bran, and a bowl of water. Just lie down, and you won't be hungry or thirsty!"

Xia Bitu frowned: "Incense ash and bran buns?"

Qin Zheng explained, "It's a steamed bun made of incense ash and rice bran. Eating it will bloat your stomach and keep you from feeling hungry for a long time. But it also causes dryness, making it difficult to defecate, and reducing the frequency of toilet visits. Otherwise, wouldn't this place stink to death?"

Xia Bitu frowned and said nothing.

Xia Jinzhong didn't believe it: "Is it really that dark? Then why don't they eat the dead?"

Qin Zheng said: "How many of those who came in can leave?"

Xia Bitu and Xia Jinzhong both looked at the prisoners.

Sure enough, even though they were skinny, they all had bulging bellies!

Xia Bitu suddenly ordered, "Jinzhong, go check on their situation."

He wanted to see how dark Yue Shanlin's heart was!

Xia Bitu admitted that he was not a good person, but he was not completely without humanity!

"Yes!" Xia Jinzhong stood up and shouted at the prisoners, "Tell me why you are here?"

He pointed at a skinny old man nearby and said, "You speak first."
