Chapter 28 city ​​gate

The assassin's head was not hung on the city wall, and the head on the city wall was still old. According to legend, the beheading would be postponed until after the king came to the City of Grain.Except for a few important government officials, no one in Wugu City knows where the assassin Shaoqi is being imprisoned, but everyone knows the whereabouts of the woman from Qingyun County. Binu was standing in a big iron cage at the gate of the city . The sound of rain splashing at the gate of the city made the guards go to hide from the rain, and the adults who watched the fun ran to the eaves of the shop, only some children were left running in the rain, taking advantage of the carelessness of the guards, they ran to the side of the iron cage, Taking a look at Binu in the cage, stuffing a corncob in, or not daring to stuff anything, those bold kids ran back to the crowd and announced the latest news, saying, that female assassin didn’t know how to be afraid, and didn’t dare to stuff anything. Not afraid of the rain, she fell asleep in the cage!

Someone in the know patiently told the child that she was not necessarily an assassin, but was born talkative, and said a few more words to the assassin on Zhishi Street!She talked a lot, but she was caught by the arresters and she couldn't speak clearly. Why she came to Wugu City, she couldn't explain why she had walked a thousand miles to deliver winter clothes to her husband, but she couldn't get her husband out. Winter clothes, she is a suspicious suspect!The government locked her in a cage and waited for the king to come. As soon as the king came, the suspicious suspect could come out of the cage, and that would be amnesty for the world!

In the continuous drizzle, someone was standing at the city gate, but his heart was at the gate of the yamen. The spectators always had different opinions on the identity of the woman in the cage. The person who sneaked into Wugu City said that if she was innocent, why would she stand in the cage?Most of these people were dissatisfied with the arresters' separation of male and female assassins. Since they were members of the same party, why did one show off here, while the other was locked behind the high wall of the yamen, without seeing Lushan's true colors?Someone got tired of watching Binu, and suddenly shouted to the guards on the city gate, "We don't want to look at the women, we want to look at the male assassins, bring the men over here, let us watch!"

The guard on the city gate shouted angrily to the people below, what are you?If you want to see the man, unless you are also an assassin, we will send you to the Yamen prison, and you will be able to see him! Someone in the crowd regretted the passing of the assassin yesterday, saying, I saw that cripple selling sugar at the porridge factory, he was wearing a black robe, and he was handsome, and I was so hungry. Panicked, busy eating porridge, didn't take another look at him, and ended up not seeing his candy stand clearly! There are also people who regret that they are careless, lack vigilance, and lose the opportunity to ask for credit. My child bought his candy figurines and went home to quarrel with me, saying why some candy figurines can only be seen but not eaten. It’s not fair. Wondering, why don’t you sell sugar figurines?What kind of sugar man is a sugar man who cannot eat?I just lacked my foresight, I didn't guess that there was an arrow hidden in the belly of the sugar man!

When the rain was light, many women came to the gate of the city wearing straw hats. They were full of interest in Binu, saying that they couldn't tell that she was a female assassin from her honest appearance.Someone next to me said, you can't tell that you have a pair of eyes for nothing, but I can tell that she is walking around with a mourning robe, and she has already prepared for her funeral! A few seamstresses on Weaving Street changed their robes and stood in the crowd with great demeanor. They recognized Binu in the cage at a glance. It was her. No wonder they changed women's autumn robes into Winter robes for men!The seamstress introduced to others how outrageous Binu's plan to modify the robe was, saying that all women in the world miss their husbands, and there is no such thing as her, thinking about their husbands is so crazy!If he hadn't lost his mind, he wouldn't have gossiped so much with the assassin in front of the arresters all over the street.The fat butcher at the butcher shop next door reminded the sewing girl, don’t underestimate her, Sifu is pretending, maybe it’s a female assassin’s trick, she wants to change the women’s robes into men’s robes in preparation for her escape , who wouldn't disguise himself as an assassin?Dress up as a man and no one will recognize her!These words made the seamstresses frightened, clutching their chests and saying, "Oh, luckily I didn't change it for her!"The woman who gave each needle and thread to Binu always had a white face. She pointed to a needle stuck in the green belt, and tentatively asked others. Assassins usually use knives and swords. Wouldn't they use this kind of needle?The crowd was stunned for a while, and everyone thought about it for a while, but the fat butcher yelled first, saying, why can't needles be used?Put poison on the needle, you haven't heard that the lame man has poison hidden in his boot, and the poison is made with poison needles!Before the clever fat butcher could finish his sentence, the woman shook a few times as if struck by a thunderbolt, and suddenly sat down on the ground. People asked her what was going on, but she was too scared to speak, so she just shook her head , the other seamstresses went up to pull her up from the stagnant water, and rescued her, she was always timid and respected the king the most, this made the assassin angry!

A group of seamstresses supported the distraught woman and left the gate of the city in a panic, but the topic of needles provided a lot of inspiration for those who stayed where they were. Blue robes with stitches tucked inside, they cried out in surprise and quarreled for a long time, men have murder weapons, and so do women!The cripple used his candy stand, but the woman used a needle, a poisonous needle, and she wanted to kill the king with a poisonous needle! People turned their faces and looked at Binu's hands in the cage naturally. Her hands were covered in the wooden shackle hole, so they couldn't see clearly. Her bun had been scattered into messy hair, and the messy hair was dripping with rainwater. Her face was covered, and her face couldn't be seen clearly. The spectators who came late were dissatisfied. They protested to the guards on the city gate that the public should also look like a public display. It's raining so much , locked in the cage again, one step too late and can't see anything, even the face, what is the publicity?

Under the strong demand of everyone, a guard came down from the city tower wearing a big leaf. He clumsily adjusted Binu's hair through the iron grille, and complained to the spectators, you know, look, look!I don’t know about reporting and exposing. This female assassin entered the city pretending to be dumb. Many people know that she can speak. If you expose her on the spot, she will be caught on the spot! Someone below said, don't blame us, blame you for checking too slowly at the gate of the city and asking too many questions. You are obviously a man, but you want to ask if you are a man or a woman. Many people pretend to be dumb and enter the west gate to save trouble. Many people pretend to be dumb, who knows who is the assassin!

The guard said, you will argue, you will watch the excitement, and you are so anxious to watch the excitement, this woman's face is neither beautiful nor ugly, what is there to see?You guys will watch it in the future, I'm afraid you'll get bored and clamor for new ones! A boy said in the crowd that the king will pardon her when he comes, and she will never be seen again! Who said to be pardoned?The guard searched for voices in the crowd and said, whether the king pardons her depends on whether the king is happy or not. If he is not happy, the iron cage will have to be vacated for her, and her head will be hung on the city wall for public display. !

The people below shouted again, who cares about looking at human heads?There is nothing to see in the dead, we have to see the live one, we have to see her face! The complicated demands of the spectators made the guard a little annoyed, so he roughly pushed Binu awake with a mace.You are so capable, under such a heavy rain, locked in an iron cage, with your hands and head in wooden shackles, you still sleep so soundly!It's not that I don't let you sleep, it's the common people who don't let you sleep, I can't help it, so don't sleep, anyway, it's a show to the public, let them see enough!

Binu showed a pale and wet face, half of the guard's description was correct, and the other half was wrong. The women found a pretty outline of a young woman on that face, but her beauty was overwhelmed by fatigue and The haggard covered and became a little pale ruin.Binu opened her eyes in the eyes of people. She wanted to say something, but her mouth was held by a butterfly-shaped iron bit, and she couldn't make any sound. Her eyes were filled with the bright brilliance of moonlight. A silver-like brilliance spread from his face, the big iron cage lit up for a while, and then lit up again, the man and the cage shone with moist light.The guard next to the cage jumped up. He saw that after a heavy rain, a piece of dark green moss suddenly grew under the iron cage where Binu was standing, and scattered spots of rust appeared on the iron fence where her body leaned against.The guard screamed and backed away. He knew it wasn't the rain, but the woman's tears.No tears, no tears!The guard yelled at Binu in the cage, I know you have been wronged, no matter how big the grievance is, don’t cry, don’t cry, I don’t care if you cry the iron cage out of moss, you have to cry the iron cage to death My mistake, if you cry again, you will embarrass me, don't blame me for being rude to you!

Binu's eyes looked up at the sky, the sky gradually turned bright blue, and there were still condensed raindrops falling from the top of the iron cage, hitting Binu's face, and it was impossible to tell from her face which was rain and which was rain. It is her legendary tears. Don't look at the sky!The guard said, "Look at the ground, the prisoner in the cage is not allowed to cry to the sky, this is the rule!"Look quickly, let you look at the ground and you will look at the ground! The wooden shackle hindered Binu's recovering body, and it was impossible to tell whether she was obedient or defiant, her head moved slightly, her eyelashes drooped, she stared at the guard, the white tears in her eyes were still dripping Let down. The guard began to wipe his eyes.Look at the ground, don't look at me!Don't cry, you are still crying, they say your tears are poisonous!The guard pointed to the tower and said, "A few brothers above accidentally touched your tears. One said that his headache was about to burst. He hugged his head all morning and cried out for the pain. He did nothing. , has been like a woman, hiding aside and wiping tears, they said that I am the son of a witch, I am not afraid of the curse of tears, I have been fooled, now I am not feeling well, my eyes are sore, I don’t know why there is so much snot Where did you come from? I won't stay by your side anymore. Forgive me that you won't be able to cry to death in such a big iron cage for a while. You should show it to the public here. In a hurry, the guard ran up the tower wearing leaves, who reprimanded him on the tower, and the guard came down again with a black scarf.He reached into the cage with both hands, covered Binu's eyes with a black scarf, and said, the officer said your eyes are too dangerous, you should be on guard, anyway, you don't want to see any scenery, those people want to see your scenery!The guard was concerned about Binu's tears, so he couldn't help hesitating. He felt a hot tear flow from his hand. At this time, the guard heard a few muffled thunder rolling over the city wall. The crowd began to have abnormal movements. At first, it was a few young children crying for no reason, and a few old people kept sneezing. They bent over with their eyes wide open, hitting one and waiting for the next. , It's so itchy, where did the evil wind come from, it's blowing into my nose!Then there was a loud plop from the crowd, and the guard turned his head, seeing the silver flames of the iron cage whitening many ferocious and sinful faces, many people suddenly couldn't hold their knees, and slowly fell towards the muddy ground, falling down , the fat butcher from the butcher shop was the first to be washed down by invisible tears, he was already kneeling on the ground, his knees were submerged in the water, his fat body under the robe was shaking in pain, sister female prisoner, don’t look at me, I’m not making false accusations You, I am falsely accusing Butcher Yang!The fat butcher burst into tears, he kept bowing to the iron cage, and yelled frantically, "Sister female prisoner, don't blame me, if you want to blame it, blame Yang Butcher's shop is too prosperous, forcing me to close the shop." Lah, the same pork, others pass by my shop with a basket, but they don’t want to buy my pork. I want to buy it from Butcher Yang. I was cornered by him, so I went to cut up the dead meat and put it in his shop. Let it go!
