Chapter 38 Thirty-eighth round of being imprisoned, the head of the Meng team secretly took care of Angli's prison car and went to the cemetery to enact the punishment

Wang Fengting seemed to be crazy, riding a horse, leading the Qing soldiers to the Tongtian Lebao Bureau.After dismounting, he rushed to the scene of the accident: "Where is my son, where is my son?" "My lord, don't be sad, your young master is here!" The scene was so miserable, the father looked sad, Wang Fengting cried to death, stood up after crying for a long time, wiped away the tears, turned around, and came to Zhang Zuolin, at the moment Zhang Zuolin was braided by others , twisting his arms, tied to the rope, unable to even move.Someone pointed with his hand: "My lord, he is the murderer. He still has a pistol on him. This guy is a bandit!"

"Good boy, I've skinned you." As he spoke, he raised his whip and pointed it at Zhang Zuolin, regardless of his face or body. His whole body was covered with bruises, and the cotton clothes were all shredded.Finally, he ordered people: "Take it to Beidaying!" He had two camps, one outside the south gate and one outside the north gate.If Zhang Zuolin really wanted to go there, he would be broken.But at this time, people from the yamen of Xinmin Mansion also came, and Luo Cui, the leader of the eighth squad, who was Hu Laoga's cadre, also returned to Xinmin.When Luo Cui heard that someone had reported the crime, she immediately brought someone here. Seeing that the murderer had been caught, she asked what was going on?Someone said to him: "Wang Fengting insists on bringing the murderer to the camp, which is against the rules."

Luo Cui hurried over and hit Qian'er with one leg: "Master Wang, isn't this appropriate? As the saying goes, states have state officials, and counties have county management. This murderer happened in Xinmin Mansion, and it was under the control of the magistrate's yamen. Yours The barracks is probably not the place to ask questions. Of course, you are very distressed when your young master dies, and we understand that. However, this is in accordance with the regulations of the country, so I am afraid it is difficult to explain it." "Okay, then I will hand it over to your Xinmin government and deal with it severely."

"Of course, the state has state laws, and the family has family rules. Killing people pays their lives, and debts pay back money. Are you thinking about a lighter sentence? Take it away!" Zhang Zuolin was taken away by the Xinmin Mansion just like that, Wang Fengting ordered people to collect the body, and at the same time ordered Baoju to close down temporarily.Five people in Baoju died and one survived, but they died before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.Added together, six lives were lost.The entire Xinmin Mansion was a sensation.After Zhang Zuolin arrived at the government office, he was put under arrest. Within an hour, the magistrate of Xinmin Mansion, the fourth-rank Huang Tang named Zeng Yun, was promoted. This is a big case and cannot be delayed.Zhang Zuolin is a good guy who doesn't suffer from immediate disadvantages, so he knelt down politely, and Zeng Yun looked down: "What's your name?"

"Zhang Yuting." "age?" "Twenty-three." "Where are they from?" "Yingkou Dagouyan." He didn't dare to say that it was from Erdaogou in Xiaoheishan, let alone Zhaojiamiao. "What is your occupation?" "In the past, I used to farm. Do you still need to ask now? I am a beard." "Why do you do this?" "I can't live through this day, I can't uncover the pot, and I live by robbing." "How many accomplices are there?" "No, it's just me, I'm a single thief."

"Is it your fault that Tongtian Lebao Bureau shot and killed people?" "Yes, I killed them all." "How many people were killed?" "I don't know either. I did everything that died." "Did Wang Ke, the son of Wang Fengting, the leader of the third battalion, die at your hands?" "The one who told me to fall to my death is not fake at all." "Why? Because he is a scoundrel, he blackmailed people, I couldn't get angry, so I threw him to death." "Is the murder weapon yours?" "Yes, that's what I committed the crime."

There is no need to use torture for this thing, and he will admit what he asks.The lawsuit was not complicated, it was just laid out there, someone recorded it, and then drew the bet. After the bet was drawn, Zengyun sent a message to send Zhang Zuolin to Lei's death row.Immediately write a document to report to the province, and the official document will be approved by God, and you can be convicted of any crime.Zhang Zuolin was tortured when he was taken to the cell. This Lei name is so wicked. It is less than one meter long, less than one meter wide, and less than one meter high. It is like a cage. This person cannot lie down. I couldn't stand up, and it was very difficult to stretch my waist, so I just pouted inside.Needless to say, it will kill you, just stay in it for a long time, and you will be useless after a long time.At the same time, Zhang Zuolin was tied with an 80-jin cast iron ankle chain, and he couldn't even lift his legs. The handcuffs around his neck were all riveted with rivets. After the big iron gate was closed, the government immediately notified Wang Fengting of how we should deal with it.Because the magistrate Zengyun and Wang Fengting still have conflicts, and the relationship is very bad. The two officials, civil and military, have always been at odds. Zengyun is afraid that Wang Fengting will pick the case. How to get promoted and how to ask the case is recorded in detail and ordered to be sent to Wang Fengting for review. , Wang Fengting's anger finally dissipated a little bit.Just waiting for the approval from above, he will personally watch it on the day Zhang Yuting is dealt with.

After Zhang Zuolin was detained, he dozed off in a drowsy state. On the second day, the cell boss opened the iron gate, and a big cornbread with eyes and a bowl of watery soup came in: "Hey!" , lad, dinner is ready." Zhang Zuolin watched, unable to eat, his eyes stared straight.The prison chief looked around and saw no one was around, and squatted outside: "I said young man, alas, what a pity, you are too reckless, and it is rare for you to even hurt a few lives in Xinmin Mansion. Maybe you I also know that you will not survive, and the official document will be approved soon. If you are cheap, you will be stabbed. Take a break. It’s useless for you to regret, worry, or be afraid right now.”

"Haha, damn it, I'm not afraid. If I'm afraid, I don't do it. If I do it, I don't worry. I just eat it." Zhang Zuolin drank the cornbread and this bowl of soup in a few mouthfuls. The prison chief gave a thumbs up: "Good job, yes, that's how it should be." Why did he say that?Because the death of Huahua Taisui Wang Ke is very pleasing to the hearts of the people. This bastard is a big public nuisance in the Xinmin Mansion.The government didn't dare to touch him, usually when he passed by the magistrate's yamen, he was domineering, but the magistrate didn't pay attention to him, as if the prison boss had been beaten by him, so Zhang Zuolin threw him to death. The head is also happy.I really want to praise Zhang Zuolin a few words, but because of my status, I dare not, otherwise I would not be able to say these few more sensible words.

The door was closed, and the prison boss left. Zhang Zuolin couldn't sleep and squatted here, feeling sad: Hey, Hu Laoga, Hu Yukun, you tricked me, and I gave you a reward of three thousand taels of silver, which not only hurt you, but also me, you six How can a person in his teens poke this bastard? If I didn't save you, would I be in jail?It seemed that he was sure to die.Maybe, people in the family already know the letter by now, Hu Laoga and Hu Ming have to deliver the letter, what do my brothers think?What are they up to?The two tigers have a violent temper, Qinglong and Hunlong can't get along with me, not to mention my eldest brother Sun Liechen, do they dare to drag the insurance team here to rob and rebel against prison?Don't come, you have brains, don't come, if you come, no one will survive.I think of my mother again, of my wife, of my daughter Shoufang.

Zhang Zuolin's heart was sour, tears rolled around his eyes, but they didn't fall, and he stared back.Zhang Zuolin thought forget it, but I hate that my life is too short, I am only twenty-three, so I will confess.If I want to go back alive, I must do a great job, I will kill a thief like Wang Fengting.Alas, it's useless to think about it. On the second day, the door of the iron prison was opened again, and it was not the head of the prison who delivered the food, but a stranger, about thirty years old, with a yellow and white mirror, a wide forehead, a pointed shell, and two curls. Little Heihu, wearing a yamen overalls, looks like a big man, followed by two people, carrying a stone box, this stone box is for food and drink, and put it outside.The cell boss said, "Hey, Zhang Yuting, do you know who this is?" "I don't know." "This is Luo Cui, the head of the eighth class of Xinmin Mansion, and Luo Bantou." Zhang Zuolin had heard about him a long time ago, he was Hu Laoga's son, and Hu Laoga mentioned it more than once in front of Zhang Zuolin.Luo Cui raised her nose and sniffed: "What's the deal with this house, let's change to another house." "Well, all the rooms have been allocated according to your instructions." He proposed to change the room first, and took Zhang Zuolin out of the small room of Lei Zihao and arranged him in a large room inside.Although they are both prisons, they are completely different. This room has four floors, a bed, and a toilet. It is ten thousand times stronger than that small cage.After entering the new room, Zhang Zuolin sat down, Luo Cui ordered someone to bring over the food box, the cell boss set up a small table for him, opened the lid of the food box, and there were six dishes, a soup, and a jug of wine inside. Put it on the table.Luo Cui smiled at Zhang Zuolin: "Mr. Zhang, please have dinner?" "This..." Zhang Zuolin said in his heart what's going on, oh, could it be that the official approval came back, and I'm going to lose my head, this is a meal of beheading, it doesn't look like this, in terms of time, it can't be so fast, since It would take five or six days for Xinmin to go to Fengtian, and after they arrive in Fengtian, they will be discussed, approved, and sent back. This is only two days.Zhang Zuolin didn't move his chopsticks, staring at these dishes in a daze.Luo Cui waved her hand from behind, and the others withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the room.Luo Cui leaned forward: "Captain Zhang, do you recognize me?" "Well, I have heard it for a long time. You are not the head of the eighth class of Xinmin Mansion, Mr. Luo Cuiluo." "It's me. Captain Zhang, I also know everything about you. My godfather is Hu Yukun, the Hu Laoga you often call. He often comes to Xinmin. We have a good relationship. What about you He also revealed it to me. But Captain Zhang, you are too reckless in this matter. You think, life is at stake, and one of them is enough to carry it on your back. What's more, you also threw the son of Wang Fengting, the leader of the third battalion, to death. Well, six lives. Therefore, your lawsuit is not easy to fight." "Haha, what's the use of talking about it? I've already done it, and it's useless to regret it. Then what's the matter with Luo Bantou seeing me today? May I ask what these six dishes and one soup mean?" "Ah, it's nothing else. For my godfather's sake, I should also honor Captain Zhang. This is to express my personal affection." "Oh, since that's the case, Zhang appreciates it!" Zhang Zuolin didn't know how to drink, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. It can be lifted, it can be lowered, and it doesn't get in the way too much. Zhang Zuolin is devouring it. Luo Cui was sitting beside him, watching him, agreeing with him so much in his heart, that's all, this is a man, manly man, really masculine, ten thousand times stronger than me.After Zhang Zuolin drank three glasses of wine and took a few mouthfuls of food, he filled it up again. Luo Cui checked that no one was around, and continued in a low voice, "Captain Zhang, fortunately, you didn't suffer anything. Fortunately in misfortune. To be honest, it is certain to be stabbed. I told the magistrate that the magistrate’s subordinates are overborn, and there is no upper limit for the death penalty. Like the cracked car and Ling Chi, they are all spared, so I will let you suffer. A knife is painful. So, I say hello to you, and you are mentally prepared." "Damn it, what's the pain of a knife? I've killed too many people, and I've already had enough money. Thank you." "Oh, what's the use of thanking, I'm just trying to be humane. I advise Mr. Zhang not to get angry. Before the official document is approved, you should eat, drink, and talk for a while when you feel comfortable. This is what I changed for you. Room, it’s okay. If you need anything, just tell the prison boss, and the prison boss told me that I will try my best to satisfy. Besides, is there anything else in your house? Do you have anything else to say? I will try my best to send the letter to you. Bring it to you." "Haha, okay, good enough friends, no wonder Hu Laoga has such a godson like you, um, even if Zhang dies under Jiuquan, he will never forget the benefits of you, friend. But don't worry, everything in my family has been arranged Now, if you think of something in the future, it's not too late for me to ask you." "Okay, let's get out of the way. From now on, every meal of yours will have six dishes and one soup. I will spend the money." In fact, Luo Cui really didn't sympathize with Zhang Zuolin, but was forced to help him. On the night before being detained, a bewildered father came to Luo Cui's house, scaring Luo Cui out of her wits. This stupid father is Zhang Shifei, Zhang Zuolin's good friend who died.Because Hu Laoga and Hu Ming ran back to Zhaojiamiao and told everyone about Zhang Zuolin's beating to death and being trapped in Xinmin, the temple was blown up immediately.The members of the insurance team were gearing up, armed with knives and guns, wishing they could fly to Xinmin Mansion to rescue Zhang Zuolin. Later, Sun Liechen was suppressed, and Sun Liechen glared: "What are you doing? You are making noise? Xinmin Mansion is an important town. The state has stationed thousands of troops, and there are all civil and military yamen. It's just us. Let's go die. You all just listen. It’s over.” When everyone saw it, they couldn’t help it, and each of them hugged their heads, and the backbone was gone. Zhang Shifei couldn't find Tang Erhu again, and only after inquiring did he find out that Tian Da girl from Tianzhuang Terrace sent a letter to Tang Erhu, and the girl said: "I'm pregnant now, you have to come and see me." Come on, I vomit every day, I went to the doctor to see it, and the doctor said it was a happy pulse." Erhu was very happy when he heard this, and went to the Tianzhuang Terrace to see his wife.So he didn't know about Zhang Zuolin at all. Zhang Shifei saw that his left hand and right arm were gone, and what Sun Liechen said was not unreasonable. Could it be that we just watched the old man in prison, and didn't care?In the end, he discussed with Sun Liechen: "You stay here and think of a way. I'll go to Xinmin. No matter what, I have to find a way to save the old lump. At least don't let him suffer. I'm really worried." Zhang Shifei rode a horse and brought his two guys to Xinmin Mansion. He knew the house number of Luo Cui's residence through Hu Laoga in advance, entered Luo's house at night, and met Luo Cui.Zhang Shifei put the two guns on the table, and gave the number first: "Brother, I am from Sanjiegou, Qingmakan. Have you heard of Du Laopan? Have you heard of the living hell king Du Lisan? I am the Eighth Gunner Ranked eighth, my name is Zhang Shifei, our captain Zhang Zuolin was detained in Xinmin Mansion, what will happen?" Luo Cui said: "My father, do you still need to ask? Six lives, they are sure to die, and the official document will be approved soon. If you go out of the west gate to the orphan's grave, you will have to lose your head." Zhang Shifei was straightforward: "Can you find a way to help us save Zhang Zuolin?" "You just killed my whole family, and I don't have that ability. Think about it, I'm a small team leader at best. I belong to a slave, so I don't have that ability. And this incident has alarmed the whole province. If he is about to die, he will not be able to save him even if he has the power to return to heaven. Unless, as you said, people from Lalai occupy the Xinmin Mansion and flatten the Yamen, Zhang Yuting may be saved. But then again Come back, I didn’t underestimate you heroes of the green forest, do you have the ability to take down Xinmin Mansion? There are thousands of troops in Xinmin Mansion, civil and military yamen, it’s not easy to move, it’s difficult.” As soon as Zhang Shifei heard it, the words from the bottom of his heart could not force others to be difficult: "Okay, don't say it is difficult or not difficult, we have to find ways to save people, and you have nothing else to do, I just ask you one thing , for your godfather's sake, you have to take good care of Zhang Yuting, at least eat and drink hard, and don't let him suffer, can you do this?" "Yes, I can definitely do that." "Okay, if you want to do this, we will be grateful. Let's do it this way. As for how much money you spend, you should pay it first. We will repay you twice in the future." "Oh, you don't have to be polite, I can afford to pay for what I have to do." Luo Cui understands that Zhang Zuolin is not someone who is waiting for nothing, and there must be a lot of excitement in Xinmin Mansion.You have to leave a way for yourself, don't get into a dead end.So the next day Luo Cui came to visit the prison in person, bought six dishes and a soup out of her own pocket, and told the restaurant next to her that she would prepare three meals a day and choose samples for cooking.After Luo Cui saw Zhang Zuolin, she didn't dare to tell him all these things, fearing that someone else would hear them, so she told Zhang Zuolin in such a subtle way, asking Zhang Zuolin to take care of him: "I have authority There is no limit, there is no other ability." Of course, Zhang Zuolin was very sympathetic: "Well, you don't need to go on, I can't help but appreciate it." Zhang Zuolin knew in his heart that there was no cure at all, this death was settled, and I didn't want to think about anything else. Next, Zhang Zuolin eats six dishes and one soup every day, and every meal has a new pattern. He lays down on the bed every day when he is full, and sleeps with his head covered. .Seven days later, as soon as the prison door opened, Luo Cui came again: "Captain Zhang, why are you going okay these two days?" "Thanks to you, look, I think I'm still fat." "Yeah, you look good. Captain Zhang, let me come and see you. You still have..." "If you have something to say, please say it. Could it be that the official document has been approved?" "Ah, I just want to tell you about this. When I was lighting the lamp yesterday, the official document from the province was approved." "What do you say?" It’s time for you to ascend to heaven.” “Haha, okay, I’ll save my life and suffer, thank you for coming to announce the good news to me.” "No, Mr. Zhang, even though I said that, I don't feel good. We are all good. I will stare at you and lose your head. I can't save you." "What are you talking about? Gentlemen are friends, and you can't force others to be difficult. You are good. Zhang died under Jiuquan, and I will never forget your benefits. Even my friends who are alive can repay me for me. It's nothing. So, what are you going to do?" "Yeah, why don't I tell you, I've prepared a banquet, and I'll see you off. Someone, please come out." On the first day, Zhang Zuolin was sent to the Prison Hall. Thanks to Luo Cui's success, everyone from top to bottom had a good face. After arriving in the Prison Hall, they packed a table of colorful dishes from the Yanchunlou Restaurant. The table is here, and Luo Cui eats and drinks with Zhang Zuolin himself.Look at Zhang Zuolin again, talking and laughing happily, eating big mouthfuls, showing no signs of fear.Luo Cui secretly picked his thumb, what a man, his bones are really tough.Alas, people are really incomparable. They were eating and talking, and it was past midnight. At this moment, a servant came in to look for Luo Cui, and said a few words in his ear. "Oh," Luo Cui put down her chopsticks, "Master Zhang, someone is looking for me urgently, I'll come as soon as I go." "Okay, please." Luo Cui left. About half an hour later, Luo Cui came back with a bottle of wine, and the work was over: "Master Zhang, I think you can drink well, let's change the taste, you can try this bottle of Moutai, what do you think of this wine?" "That's famous wine, well, fill me a glass." "Alas." Luo Cui filled another glass of Moutai for Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin raised his neck, Gulu drank it down.But after drinking this glass of wine, Zhang Zuolin felt disturbed, something was wrong, it tasted a bit weird compared to the wine just now, what's going on, suddenly he felt dizzy, and lay down on the table , and lost consciousness.Luo Cui stood up: "Master Zhang wake up, Master Zhang..." Zhang Zuolin didn't wake up no matter how busy he was.Luo Cui waved his hand to the outside: "Quick!" The people who were ambushing outside broke in, laid Zhang Zuolin on the ground, took a chisel and a hammer, and removed the 80-jin cast iron shackles and handcuffs around his neck, and then Give it a rope.When Zhang Zuolin realized it, he felt the pain in his brain, so he looked down and changed the rope.Luo Cui stood in front of him, but Zhang Zuolin quit. He jumped up and scolded: "Luo, what kind of smoke guns and ghosts are you blowing lights, sneaking around, what are you, a doghead, what are you doing?" "Master Zhang, listen to me, do you know what I did when I went out?" "What did you do?" "Wang Fengting, the commander of the third battalion, came and discussed with me. Before you die, he wants to vent his anger and want to deal with you severely, but I refused. I offended Lord Commander for this matter, but for My friend, I also went all out, and finally sent him away. I was afraid that you would suffer, so I put some perspiration medicine in the Moutai, and replaced the torture device when you were in a daze. This is a kind heart. Master Zhang, it is time for you to ascend to heaven after dawn, so don’t lose your temper like this, I also have something to hide.” "Well, since this is the case, it's a good time to die or live." "Good job, come here, please rush Master Zhang to the hall to await trial." The sky seems to be bright and sometimes not, Zeng Yun, the prefect of Xinmin, sits in the lobby, with safety lights on both sides, and you can see a needle drop clearly. There is no sound in the lobby. , Pushing it to the lobby: "Kneel down, kneel down." How dare a person not bow his head under the low eaves, if he wants to kneel, it is impossible to stand a stick here. Someone kicked Zhang Zuolin's calf, and Zhang Zuolin plopped down on his knees Yes, someone is pressing your arms and pulling your braids, and you can't move if you want to.I saw that Zhifu Zeng had changed his clothes. Inside he was wearing a robe and mending gown, outside he was wearing a red cloak and a red hood. He would wear this set whenever he was on a big business trip.Enlarged face sank like water, and checked again: "Who is kneeling?" "Zhang Yuting." "Where is the family?" "It's from Yingkou." "What is your occupation?" "beard." "Did you do the shooting?" "It's not fake at all, and I won't regret it anytime." "In this case, come here, and read the crime." Master Xing Ming read the approval document in front of Zhang Zuolin: "The approval has been approved, and the sentence will be executed. Criminal, do you understand?" "Understood. What else do you have to say?" "I didn't say anything, I just wanted to die." After the painting confession, the rope was untied, and Zhang Zuolin lay down on the hall, then took off his shoes and socks, and stepped on the foot wood. It was very troublesome at that time. When a person was dying, not only ten fingers had to be pressed, but also the feet had to be stepped on. permanent archive.Then put his shoes and socks on, this is on file.Master Zeng picked up the vermilion pen and scribbled on the sign: "Execute the murderer Zhang Yuting, beheaded." With a tick of the vermilion pen, "snap", he threw the vermilion pen down. . Re-tie the rope, insert tricks, take Zhang Zuolin down, worship the Jade God first, this is the rule, just kneel in the Jade God Temple, start to brush the glue on the head, open the braid, brush the glue, this thing will dry The little braid was as straight as a stick, and two flowers were inserted on the head. After tossing all the way, Zhang Zuolin was carried out of Xinmin Mansion. It was already bright outside.There is a broken ox cart waiting here, and then look at the front of the government office, the sea in front of the soldiers, the cavalry on horseback, the infantry on the steps, the swords, guns, halberds, axes, hooks and forks are all shiny, and some are carrying shotguns. Yes, there are poles, rifles, pistols, all kinds of guys, put Zhang Zuolin on the bullock cart, knock on the funeral gong and blow the funeral bell, and start slowly running to the west gate.
