In the evening, dark clouds appeared in the northwest corner of the sky, and they filled the sky in a short time, followed by thunder and flashes, and then the big raindrops fell on the head and face all over the world.It has been a sunny day for more than half a month, and the leaves are wilted and the ground is curled up. At this moment, the rain has just fallen, and the hot cobblestone streets are like burning iron, and they all emit blue smoke.In less than half an hour, the road was already full of water.A heavy rain relieved the summer heat, and the residents in Wuchang finally got a long-awaited cool night.

The torrential rain in Youshi only lasted for more than half an hour, and the dense clouds in the sky had already dispersed after the neighbors had dinner.In normal times, on such a breezy summer night, the city would have been full of brothels, taverns and people, and the lights and towers would be full of singing and dancing.Right now, due to the riots that just broke out, the streets are under curfew, patrolling soldiers are everywhere, the shops are closed and the hawkers are out of business. Not only does the street look more depressed than usual, but there is also an atmosphere of turmoil.At this time, in the prison directly under the jurisdiction of the vassal yamen, it is particularly eerie.The waterproof oil silk lanterns hung on the alleyway of the coupon gate, the light flickers, and from a distance, it looks like a will-o'-the-wisp floating in the wilderness.From the outside of the high wall to the cells where the prisoners are detained, there are sentry posts on the inner and outer floors.Usually, this is a restricted area that is extremely strictly inspected. Since He Xinyin was arrested and detained here, this place has been guarded by heavy soldiers, and everyone else has stayed away from it.

Generally, all criminals who enter this prison door, no matter what law they have violated, as soon as they enter the door, they must quickly use money and materials to honor the prisoner.If you come in empty-handed with your shoulders raised and your mouth open, the convicts won't be able to take advantage of it, so they will just find any reason and bring out the punishment to "serve" you well.After entering the cell covered in blood, the prison boss still reaches out his hand to greet him = If you dare to say no, "Warming Buns", "Golden Hooks Hanging Upside Down", "Monkey Climbing Trees" and other fancy self-made earth tortures will put you back again Treat yourself.No matter how strong your body is, after passing through these two "gates of hell", anyone will be paralyzed to the ground.

However, He Xinyin had never experienced such a hardship when he came in.As soon as he came, he was a criminal who was arrested by Futai personally issuing a warrant. Before he came in, a famous criminal master from Fuya came to say hello: "Whoever dares to touch He Xinyin with a finger, Master Futai will chop off his hand!" The words are too extreme, even though the lockers are greedy for money, they dare not make mistakes.Secondly, He Xinyin is very well-known in Wuchang City. Whether it is the guards in the prison or the prisoners in prison, almost everyone knows that he is a "saint" today.As soon as he came, the police and prisoners all forgot about the procedure of "waiting", and they all nodded and bowed their heads and bustled around. The scene seemed to be welcoming some distinguished guest.

Therefore, He Xinyin was imprisoned for more than a month, not only did not suffer from physical pain, but enjoyed a lot of fat, wine and meat every day.He Xinyin has always believed that farmers, businessmen and merchants are not inferior to scholars.The more peddlers and pawns in the market, Tu'er, the more cordial he was when he met him, calling them brothers and chattering about family affairs, and ridiculing the people in the government for being in-laws.It is this kind of rebellious character that causes the people with big ears to admire him and like him-this is one of the reasons why he is not abused in prison.

But it said that after it rained tonight, He Xinyin was walking around in Shanwen's cell, when suddenly he heard a chain on the door, and then the door creaked, and two people pushed the door open, and the one in front of him was carrying a Lantern, looking at the soap suit, you can tell that he is an ordinary prisoner. Although the person behind him is also wearing a soap suit, but there is a white edge on the round neck-this is the rank, and the people wearing this kind of clothes are The little leader of the watch prison is named Risuotou.This lock's name is Li Heizi, and he has a fleshy face, black and oily.As if soaked in a sauce jar: Because of his viciousness, the prisoners called him Li Yanwang behind his back.At this moment, when Li Yanwang saw He Xinyin, he hurriedly stretched his waist, and asked with a respectful smile:

"Mr. He, have you had dinner yet?" He Xin rolled his eyes and cursed, "What are you eating? There is half a bowl of sand in a bowl of brown rice, as if it was fed to pigs. The old man has bad teeth, how can he eat it?" Li Yanwang grinned: "We know you are not used to this prison food, let's go." "Where are you going?" "Old rules, when we come to check the room, we will treat you to a drink." Although Li Yanwang is cruel, but he respects He Xinyin's name, every once in a while, he will invite He Xinyin to his room for a meal.Li Yanwang's guard room was next to the prison cell, and the banquet inside had already been set up. As soon as He Xinyin entered, he sat on the chief seat without humility.Maybe it was because he was hungry, so he picked up a braised yellow ball with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.Seeing his gluttonous appearance, Li Yanwang said with a smile:

"Mr. He, it's raining today, and it's rare to have a cool day, so your appetite is good." "Whether it rains or not, what does it matter to me?" He Xin said angrily, "The walls of this cell are built with big stones. Living in it is like staying in a cave. No matter how hot the day is, it's still chilly." .” During the conversation, Li Yanwang had poured wine for He Xinyin.The two pushed the cups and cups, and after drinking for three rounds, He Xinyin asked: "Master Li Suo, why did you invite me to dinner so late tonight?" "There's an urgent business, so you have to answer in vain." Li Yanwang seemed a little distracted when he answered, he moved his seat, and said, "Mr. He, what you promised us should be fulfilled tonight."

"what's up?" "Look at the picture, you promised to show me the picture once, but you never did." In addition to explaining Yangming's mind theory in a small way, He Xinyin also knows a lot of miscellaneous knowledge such as Fengshui, geomancy, fortune telling and so on.Among the common people, his reputation in this aspect even overshadowed his orthodoxy.Therefore, he was alone in the cell, and there were many convicts who begged him to push his fate to look at the physiognomy, and Li Yan Wang was one of them.He had begged several times, but He Xinyin was always prevaricating. Now that he brought it up again, He Xinyin drank a glass of wine and said:

"Don't go to prostitutes during the day, and don't hunt for treasures at night. This is called gangsterism, and business rules. Master Li Suo, when it comes to looking at faces, you still have its taboos." "What are the taboos?" "Drinking doesn't look good." "Why?" "The person who sees the picture is drunk and can't see clearly, and the person who is seen turns red and foolish. Is this picture still accurate?" "Then..." Li Yanwang was a little frustrated, and muttered, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have let you drink."

He Xinyin chuckled and said, "When I was young, I never knew I was drunk when I drank alcohol. Now that I'm over sixty, when I'm interested, it's not a problem to drink half a catty. Now I've only drank two or three cups. This little wine is still good. I don’t want to look at the flowers in the fog, but I just wonder how your master Li Suo can drink?” Jin Zi, who was sitting beside him, answered on his behalf: "For us, Master Li, drinking half a catty of soju is just like drinking a cup of tea." "Good drinker!" He Xinyin praised, "So, it's not a problem to show Master Li Suo tonight." "Then there is Mr. Lao He." Li Yanwang straightened up as he spoke, and rubbed his face again. He Xinyin looked at Li Yanwang and said: "I heard Master Li Suo likes to tell a dirty story, but is it true?" "Well," Li Yanwang replied with an embarrassed smile, "It's not that I like to talk, it's because others like to listen." "This is also understandable. The ancient sages have said that 'food and sex are also sex', let alone ordinary people." He Xinyin used the topic to express his words, "There are thousands of sufferings in the world, and people don't like to eat them. There is only one kind of suffering, and everyone All have fun.” "What's the pain?" "Work hard in bed." "Mr. He's right to the point." When this topic came up, Li Yanwang's tongue became much more flexible. "Yesterday, another prisoner came here. It was a robbery. That guy ran to the brothel and went whoring for a while." Su actually reneged on his debts and refused to give the money, so he was sent to the government by the madam. When he was locked up in our prison, the guy was still stubborn, saying that the thing would not wear out no matter how much it was used, so why did he charge so much money? Even if it was true If the old one is worn out, just ask the cobbler to sew a few stitches, and you won’t be extorting money. He also sighed that the world’s people say that the money tree is good, but they don’t know that the money tree grows in the cunt. Listen, Mr. He, What nonsense this guy is talking." Li Yanwang spoke vividly, and He Xinyin wiped away his tears with a smile, and then said: "Perhaps in this big prison, there have been a lot of flower cases. In the cell where I live, there are four jingles carved on the wall, 'People are in the prison. People go up, flesh in the flesh, moving up and down, endless joy', presumably it is the masterpiece of this kind of people." Li Yanwang paused, and suddenly asked a sharp question: "Mr. He, I heard that you also liked to visit brothels and prostitutes when you were young. Is this true?" "Of course it's true," He Xinyin replied bluntly. Seeing Li Yanwang's strange expression, he said again, "What's so strange about this? Even though you're well-educated, you're still not alone? , Two prostitutes embrace each other, the left is like Yao grass and the right is like a beautiful flower, what a joy it is!" He Xinyin looked intoxicated, and Li Yanwang felt happy when he saw it, taking advantage of He Xinyin's excitement, he said, "Mr. He, should you show us your physiognomy?" He Xinyin shook her head and said, "You have to tell me a few more nasty jokes to make my old man relax completely, and it will only work if you look at it." Li Yanwang scratched his head and was thinking of something to say when the forbidden man next to him spoke again: "Mr. He, Lord Suo can not only tell dirty stories, but also sing dirty songs." "Singing dirty songs, wouldn't that be better? Master Li Suo, you are going to sing a song now. You want both meat and words. My old man has enjoyed listening to it, so I'll show you right away." He Xinyin's clamor showed that he was insane, but Li Yanwang hesitated, so he could only say: "A while ago, we learned a song in the theater, or I will learn it for Mr. He now." up: Yu Chuji, Begonia Jiao, It is better than Rouge Xianjun. The pretty woman picks one and asks the gentleman: Look at this beautiful face, Or is it the slave's face that wins? The gentleman said intentionally: "The beauty is beautiful." When the beautiful woman heard this, she became angry. Crumble the flowers and sprinkle them on the body. Husband, you will go to bed with the same flower tonight. I will no longer cross the neck with you. This song was supposed to be sung by a beauties in their twentieth century, but when it was released in a coquettish voice, it was the kind of flirting that made one's bones tingle.Now listen to this iron tower-like Li Yanwang speak.Not only is the voice rough and majestic, but it also has a yellow accent, which makes people get goosebumps.At the end of the song, He Xinyin pressed the ear door with her hand, and said with a sneer: "Thank you, Lord Li Suo, after listening to your roar, the earwax that had been stuffed in my ears for a long time was actually shaken out, and I feel much more comfortable all of a sudden." Li Yanwang replied seriously: "We just learned this piece, so we can't sing it smoothly. Or, let's sing another song." "Don't, don't," He Xinyin hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, "I've learned your singing skills, old man, now, I'll show you." Just as He Xinyin finished speaking, he suddenly saw a forbidden man come in with a bag of things in his hand. "What is this?" Li Yanwang asked the forbidden son. "It was given to Mr. He by the old monk Wuke, the abbot of Baotong Zen Temple." The forbidden son unpacked the package on the spot, rummaging through it and said, "A few Zen quotations, and a Zen book compiled by the old monk Wuke himself. poetry." Li Yanwang hooked his head to look at it, and said disdainfully: "What kind of money is there? A few broken books are neither edible nor drinkable. Why don't you send a piece of stewed beef." "Stupid!" He Xinyin slapped the table, He lowered his face and scolded, "Look at your stinky skin, what else can it hold besides wine and meat? These few books sent by old monk Wuke are all treasures!" "Treasure?" Li Yanwang was stunned, then suddenly realized, and smiled apologetically, "Although we don't read books, we remember an old saying. 'There is beauty in the book, and there is a house of gold in the book', probably the book sent by the old monk, These two treasures are hidden." He Xinyin, who was getting angry, smiled when he heard these two sentences, and sighed: "Stupid people are annoying, but they are cute when they are extremely stupid." Then he asked, "Master Li Suo, where is the place one inch above your belly button? Is there a mole?" "This?" Li Yanwang hurriedly untied his soap coat and looked down at his belly, and replied, "There is one, hey, Mr. He, how do you know?" "There is a mole in your body, and it corresponds to the corresponding part of the belly button. There must be a mole." "So that's how it is," Li Yanwang asked eagerly, "Is this mole a good mole or a bad mole? Is there any hindrance?" "This is your lucky mole," He Xin said, "otherwise, how could a person like you who can't read a lot of Chinese characters be able to be a master of locks." Li Yanwang spat out a mouthful of phlegm, and said unconvinced: "Our uncle is the master in the Futai yamen, but for his background, a golden mole on our belly button would not work." "I don't have this mole, I only have my uncle as a fart." He Xinyin was about to pick up a piece of meat with his chopsticks to eat, when he heard this, he immediately put his chopsticks on the table, glared at Li Yanwang, and scolded. "You treat me like a peddler who sells plasters in the rivers and lakes, boasting to the sky with your mouth open, just to coax people, don't you?" Seeing that He Xinyin wanted to get up and leave, Li Yanwang quickly put on a smile and said, "No, no, Mr. He, don't be angry, we're just talking about Lord Suo's origin, I don't believe you, please continue to point out. " He Xinyin snorted, and Fang picked up the chopsticks to take another bite of the dish, and said, "Your father is dead." "Yes, I've been dead for four years, how do you know?" Li Yanwang was surprised. "Don't ask me how I know, you won't understand even if I tell you." He Xinyin was a little domineering, as if he was Lord Suo and Li Yanwang was a prisoner.He stroked his goatee and continued, "You have two brothers and a younger sister." "yes." "Brothers, you are the younger brother. When you were three years old, your elder brother fell and broke his leg. He has been crippled ever since." "This is also absolutely true." "Your old lady suffers from gout." "This……" "What's wrong?" "My mother has had gout for several years, Mr. He, you are a god!" "These things are all on your face, and you can tell it at a glance. It's not surprising. You have another problem." He Xinyin stopped talking, he was trying to show off on purpose, Li Yanwang was already sincere and frightened, so he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?" "You beat your wife." "Ke wife?" "Yes, wife restraint!" He Xinyin stared at Li Yanwang's blue nose, and said decisively, "Your first wife only lived with you for a year, and then she kicked her legs and left." "Yes, I couldn't give birth to a child, so I cried on the bed for three days and three nights, and the mother and daughter left together." Li Yanwang said that the circles of his eyes were red, turned his face away, and secretly wiped away his tears.He Xinyin didn't look at him, just picked up the jug and poured himself a glass, then asked: "Where's your second wife, how did she die?" "We got drunk and beat her black and blue. She couldn't think about it for a while, so she was hanged with a rope." "You are still a bachelor now." "Ugh!" "Why are you sighing?" Seeing Li Yanwang's dejected look, He Xinyin suddenly felt pleasure, and said, "As the saying goes, you can make up for what you eat, and think about what you lack. You Li Suoye talks about dirty jokes all day long. What is the reason for singing dirty songs with a male voice, don't you just want women?" Li Yanwang smiled embarrassingly, and asked: "Mr. He, when do you think we can find a wife?" "Wait, do you want to do more good deeds?" "I have done a lot of good deeds, but there is no effect." "What good have you done?" "On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, our old lady would buy turtles and release them in Baotong Temple. During festivals, she would always give some pancakes to beggars." "Blind, what kind of good deed is this?" He Xinyin pursed her lips, and sneered back, "I think you have committed too many crimes." "What crime have we done?" "You torture prisoners every day for pleasure, isn't that a crime?" "This..." Li Yanwang frowned, and replied, "This is not a crime. The job of the lock is to manage the prisoners. If you don't treat the prisoners in custody a little bit harder, he won't be ruined?" "You can't indiscriminately punish anyone you see!" "Can a good person enter our prison?" Li Yanwang asked eloquently, "Since he can enter here, he cannot be a good person." "Bastard!" He Xinyin stood up and was about to lift the table, but the forbidden man beside him had sharp eyes and quick hands, and quickly hugged him.Only then did Li Yanwang realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately bowed and bowed to apologize in haste: "Mr. He, the bad guys we're talking about don't include you..." After persuasion and coaxing, He Xinyin finally calmed down again, and sat on the stool again.Li Yanwang looked at him, shook his head and sighed: "Mr. He, you are so accurate in your reading. You really have great supernatural powers. You can earn gold and silver mountains just by relying on this. Why do you have to give lectures to offend everyone in the government?" He Xinyin replied arrogantly: "This is a great truth, how can you understand it with a lock?" "We don't know how to give lectures, but we know that you can't touch an egg to a stone roller." Li Yanwang was afraid that he would offend He Xinyin by saying something wrong, so he asked carefully, "Mr. He, you have been in this prison for more than a month, do you know What's the situation outside?" He Xinyin listened in silence.Although he is sitting in prison, there are still many ear gods passing on the outside news to him.The students rioted to rescue him and were suppressed, and he knew the general situation.He carefully analyzed the cause and effect of this incident, and believed that it had something to do with Zhang Juzheng returning home to bury his father this time.Zhang Juzheng has always opposed lecturing, which is well known in China.At the beginning of this year, Zhang Juzheng promoted his most trusted cadre, Jin Xuezeng, from the post of Jingzhou Customs Patrol Censor to Hubei Xuetai, which seemed to be a signal.Some people guessed that Zhang Juzheng wanted to get a "butcher" to attack the gentlemen who gave lectures.It's not that He Xinyin was not vigilant, but that he didn't think it was worth vigilant.He has always gone his own way, never paying attention to the government office, and he doesn't even listen to the advice of a good friend like Zen Master Wuke.Now, now that he is behind bars, he is not optimistic about his prospects, and even prepared for the worst. "Mr. He!" Seeing that He Xinyin remained silent for a while, Li Yanwang shouted again. "Huh?" He Xinyin raised his head, and asked Jin Zi to pour him another glass of wine. "Let me ask you, do you know the situation outside?" "What don't you know?" He Xinyin intentionally appeared nonchalant. "My old man, He, is full of peaches and plums. Once wronged and imprisoned, tens of thousands of people will rush to shout and even besiege the yamen. It's not surprising." "What do you think Mr. He will end up with?" "The big deal is death." "Hey, Mr. He is a sensible person." Li Yanwang sighed and said, "You shouldn't, you shouldn't have offended our Lord Futai." "It's a little one, so what if you offend him?" "He has the power of life and death!" "So what if he has the power of life and death? Do you think he can kill me?" He Xinyin said disdainfully. The same thing. Xu Jie advocates lectures, but he has no ability to make the wind of lectures popular in the world. Gao Gong opposes lectures, but he also has no ability to completely eliminate the wind of lectures. Only Zhang Juzheng has the ability in both aspects If he advocates lectures, I will be a public official; if he opposes lectures, I will die without a place to die. What do you think you Futai masters are? He is just a dog under the main gate of Zhang Ju. How dare he kill me, Zhang Juzheng is the one who kills me." "We heard that you and Zhang Juzheng were friends when you were young. With this relationship, why didn't he protect you?" "He protects me?" He Xinyin forced a smile and said with deep emotion, "It's very cold at the top, no matter who, if you want to sit in this seat, you have to deny your relatives, let alone talk about friendship." "Really?" Although Li Yanwang was puzzled, he knew that he couldn't agree on this kind of topic, so he said in other words, "After a while, this prison will not be quiet." "Why?" "When it rained heavily in the evening, the battalion of soldiers transferred from Xiaogan had already left Dadongmen in the rain." "What are you doing?" "Seal up Hongshan Academy." Li Yanwang paused, and then said, "We have also received a constitutional order to free up a few cells to prepare students to resist, so we will arrest them all and lock them up here." "So you did it?" He Xinyin's face darkened suddenly, and he sighed in pain and said, "The academy's deadline has come." "Mr. He, if you have wine today, you will be drunk today. Don't worry about those things for now, come and drink!" As Li Yanwang said, he ordered the confinement son to remove the small cup in front of He Xinyin and replace it with a large teacup, and invite He Xinyin to drink from the full cup.At this time, He Xinyin was already in a daze, and she didn't even refuse, she picked it up and poured it into her mouth. She drank the wine in a hurry, and in a bad mood, she drank several glasses in a row. Slipping off the stool, Li Yanwang quickly stepped forward to support him, and asked the forbidden son: "Is everything arranged properly?" Jinzi nodded, and Li Yanwang ordered Jinzi to help He Xinyin back to the cell.At this time, it was pitch black in the prison. Just as the prisoner opened the door of He Xinyin's cell, a man suddenly came out, dragged He Xinyin in and threw him on the ground, and then rode on He Xinyin, his hands tightly grasping He Xinyin's throat .In the darkness, He Xinyin kicked her legs incessantly at first, and then spread her legs out straight without moving.It was only half a stick of incense before and after, and the poor He Xinyin, who is well-known in the world, was strangled to death like this.Jinzi had been guarding the door to watch this scene, and now he didn't say a word, and brought the man back to Li Yanwang's room. However, during the period of heavy rain, the famous criminal master in the Futai yamen hurried to the prison and conveyed the constitutional order to execute He Xinyin to Li Yanwang.Li Yanwang had a good impression of He Xinyin in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey the constitutional order. After thinking about it, he came up with a way to ask the prisoner on duty to find a murdered criminal, and confessed to him like this. Fan, the condition is that after the matter is completed, he will be spared the death penalty.The murderer didn't know who was going to be strangled, so he agreed in a daze.While Li Yanwang was inviting He Xinyin to drink, the confinement smuggled the death row prisoner into He Xinyin's cell. Li Yanwang, who was anxiously waiting for the news in the duty room, saw that the forbidden man had brought in the condemned prisoners, so he couldn't wait to ask: "Is it done?" "Go back to Master Suo, it's done." The forbidden son replied. "Is it really dead?" "Definitely dead," this time the condemned prisoner replied, "I saw him roll his eyes and foam from his mouth." "Nonsense, you can't see it in the dark." Li Yanwang rolled his eyes at the condemned prisoner, and said, "It's not difficult to strangle a drunk, but Master Bensuo will give you credit. Come on, drink this glass of wine." Down." As Li Yanwang said, he pointed to a glass of wine that had been placed on the table. The death row prisoner was flattered, picked it up and drank it.Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation in his throat like a flame.While stretching out his hand to scratch, he opened his mouth wide and wanted to yell, but he couldn't utter a word except "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". Seeing the tortured faces of the condemned prisoners, Li Yanwang grinned grimly and said, "Your mother, if you tell you to drink, drink it. This is raw lacquer wine, and you will become dumb after drinking it! After Mr. He, ten heads can't be kept anymore, Xiao Zhang, put this sweet potato into death row and wait in chains." "yes." The prisoner looked back, called out the door, and immediately three wardens came in and carried the screaming death row prisoner out. Hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps walking away, Li Yanwang slumped on the chair, feeling lost.He held his head in his hands and suffered for a long time before he said to the forbidden son: "Xiao Zhangzi, at dawn, go and buy me a basket of turtles." "Why, Lord Suo is going to make a tooth sacrifice." Jin Zile asked hoarsely. "Fart, you know how to eat as soon as you open your mouth." Li Yanwang gave Jinzi a vicious look, "Tomorrow, I will go to Baotong Temple to release animals!"
