Chapter 149 Visiting the prison in the ruined temple
During the Spring Festival Gala, Qiulin listened to the noise from everyone, and felt as if a huge stone was weighing down his heart. He was filled with grief and anger. Suddenly he heard someone shouting such a sentence. At that time, he turned his head and looked closely. He saw an old man in gray clothes and gray trousers, with his back
I picked up my luggage and looked carefully, it turned out to be the tea seller from the tea shed more than two years ago, Old Man Liu!
A few days ago, Wu Wuxiu went out to look for elixirs. When Qiulin went out to buy them during the Spring Festival Gala, he visited this tea shed, but it had been converted into Tongxi Restaurant. According to the waiter, Old Man Liu's wife died of illness and he had no intention of running the business, so he sold the tea shed and ended it.
I don’t know where to go. Who would have thought that today, when Qiulin suffered such a great injustice during the Spring Festival Gala, Old Man Liu would actually show up with his luggage on his back, and even say a word for the two of them!
The official officer was escorting the two people forward when he heard Old Man Liu say these words. In broad daylight, the words had already been spoken. Everyone heard them and could not stop them. One of the official officers glared at him.
Eye, said:
"Our master has not thought about anything these days. He has worked hard for this case. Today he finally convicted the two thieves. Those who don't know the inside story should not talk nonsense! Stand aside!"
Old Man Liu sold the tea shed last year and went back to his hometown to bury his wife. After staying at home for more than a year, he felt very lonely. Being in his hometown, he missed his deceased people even more. There were no three brothers or four around him, so he simply sold the house at home.
I still want to go back to Xiaozhen and continue to do some business to make a living. It is more lively here, which is much better than being depressed at home every day.

After packing my bags and running all the way here, I just entered the town today when I suddenly saw an officer escorting a prisoner through the streets. I squeezed in and took a look. These two people looked so familiar! Old Man Liu has a really good memory. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered it.
, these two young men wanted to eat for free in the tea shed. After being taught a lesson by an old man, they watched the two chase the old man and never appeared again. But Old Man Liu had been running the tea shed for several years and saw countless passers-by every day and every month.
Intuitively, I feel that these two young people just have no one to teach them and have not taken the right path. They are said to be extremely evil and gangsters? Old Man Liu is the first one not to believe it!
So he blurted out what he was thinking, but was scolded by the official.
Old Man Liu stopped talking. These two people only had a brief relationship with him. He still had to make a living in this town. When he entered the town, he had already learned that the government offices here were all temporarily established.
, But why should I talk too much? Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials and made many mistakes when talking, so they stood by the roadside and watched the two people in the Spring Festival Gala and Qiulin being escorted past him.
As they passed by, Old Man Liu met the Spring Festival Gala's eyes. Old Man Liu suddenly felt nervous, because the eyes he looked at the young man were full of grievance and resentment, and there was also a look of gratitude towards him.
How could this be some kind of gangster?
Old man Liu watched Qiulin and the two being escorted away from each other during the Spring Festival Gala. He went to the original tea shed, which is now Tongxi Restaurant, and asked the waiter to find a room for him to settle down first. The waiter and the shopkeeper 1
Look, Old Man Liu is back again, and he is giving him warm hospitality. Because Old Man Liu is a kind-hearted person, the tea shed is doing quite well. After it was sold, it was changed to Tongxi Restaurant, and there are many repeat customers from the original tea shed, so Tongxi's business is good.
It's going smoothly, old man Liu is back, and the shopkeeper should be polite.
Old man Liu returned to the room, rested for a while, and lay on the bed. The more he thought about the Spring Festival Gala, the more concerned he was. After thinking about it, he got up and called the waiter to ask what exactly was going on.
The two young men were in this situation.
When the clerk heard that Old Man Liu had this question, he looked around and saw that there was no one in the corridor, so he lowered his voice and said to him:
"Uncle Liu, you don't know. Now the word is spreading in the streets and alleys. It's... the newly arrived Mr. Dongfang saw the beauty of the girl they came with, and he wanted to occupy them, so he imprisoned these two young people. As a result,
That girl would rather die than obey, but they forced her to death!"
Old man Liu was surprised and asked:
body
"Haha, you said, that girl was forced to death? Then the charges against these two young people now are falsely accused, haha?"
The waiter quickly made a silence gesture, pulled Old Man Liu into the house, closed the door behind his back, and said:
"Keep your voice down, my Uncle Liu! These two people must have been wronged. Those four villagers who came with us, the girl was forced to death. That night, Bao Ding, who wandered the streets every day, saw that they came out of the Yamen at night.
A group of people carried several large packages onto a carriage, left the town, and came back empty-handed. Bao Ding was sleeping in a tree that day and saw it with his own eyes. The next day, news came that the villagers were fellow gangsters.
The party, and the two young men are all in the same group, they are all villains, and they have already committed suicide out of fear of crime! This...isn't this a fart? Among the four people, 1 is an older girl, 1 is an old lady, and 1 is a child.
Wawa is only a man with some strength, and he looks like a farmer at first glance. These two young men and these four villagers really died unjustly, but in these years, they have no time to take care of themselves. Who can
If you dare to come out and say something fair, wouldn't that just set you on fire?"
He sighed and continued:
"By the way, I forgot to tell you. I have the impression that these two people drove a carriage here a few days ago and said they wanted to find you. I told them that you sold the tea shed and disappeared without a trace. I
They seem very disappointed, do you know these two people?"
Old Man Liu felt a burst of anger in his heart. Are these two people looking for him? Old Man Liu has a lot of thoughts. Judging from the eyes of the young man, they must be ashamed of the ridiculous things they did before.
And it would be too unfair for such a young man to die in such an unjust injustice.
Old Man Liu thanked the waiter, sent him out of the room, closed the door, and paced back and forth in the room. He forgot to eat dinner. It was the waiter who brought the dinner into the room, and he realized that it was getting late, but his stomach was full of food.
I feel angry and can't eat.
After thinking about it for a while, I took the money, went out of the room, asked the clerk where the two young men were being held, and asked the clerk to prepare two portions of good wine and food. I carried it out of the door and went straight to the town.
He broke into the temple in the east and left.
Not long after, I came to the dilapidated temple and saw the lights flickering inside. I walked closer and saw two officials sitting at a dilapidated table. On the table were a plate of peanuts and a jug of water and wine.
Seeing someone approaching, the two officials stood up, stretched out their hands to stop them, and shouted:

"Who is it? Don't come forward any more. The death row prisoners held here will be executed tomorrow. Leave quickly and don't stay here. This is not a place for you to watch the excitement!"
Old Man Liu nodded and bowed, and said with a smile:
"Haha, you two officers, this long night on duty is too boring. I have come to bring you some food and wine to prevent you two from having a too plain night!"
As he said that, he handed over a large food box and a jar of wine. The two officials took it, looked at each other, placed the food box on the stone table, opened it and took a look, what a guy.
! A large piece of boiled mutton, enough for half a lamb, a large plate of beef offal, spring sprouts mixed with vegetables, and a roast chicken. Even two people can't finish this much!
Before Old Man Liu came, the two officials were cursing in their hearts. This wicked death row prisoner had no family or friends, and no one came to visit him. This job was really not good, there was no profit at all, and he had to sit around all night, which was very depressing.
Now I saw Old Man Liu bringing so much food and wine, I was very happy, but I also had some doubts and asked:
"What is your relationship with these two people? Why did you send these things to us? What is your intention?"
Old Man Liu hurriedly said:
"Haha, you two officials, these two young men, in terms of seniority, are my two nephews. However, they are not related or have any acquaintances. They just have some contacts with their parents. Now their parents
They are all gone. The two of them fell into the wrong path and will be executed tomorrow. I just wanted to come and have a look and give them some food and drinks. This is the way it is in this life. I would like to advise them to be good people in the next life so as not to end up in hell.
I don’t have the face to see my parents!”
The two officials saw that what he said did not seem to be fake. The pile of delicious food and wine in front of them made the two of them greedy, but they still did not dare to let them go easily. Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Old Man Liu knew what he was saying and put down the other food box.
He reached into his arms, took out two silver ingots, handed them over with both hands, and said:
"Ha, you two officials, this is what I mean. The officials have left it to buy some tea and rice. My food box is just some food, so that my two nominal nephews don't starve to death."
Ha, I will come up after meeting them, and I will definitely not cause any trouble to you two. You see, that’s just what I wish for as a young man, right?”
2 people 1 saw two white ingots of silver, which were quite big. They weighed them in their hands and found that they were at least 5 taels. They were overjoyed at that time. They thought it was hard work, but the food and wine were an unexpected surprise.
Thinking of having extra money, he immediately beamed and said:
"Old man, it's hard for you. You have such a wish. If we brothers don't fulfill your wish, it would be unkind. Come on, come on. Open the food box. Let's take a look. If there's nothing weird, you can go.
Talk to them!”
Old Man Liu hurriedly bowed and thanked him, opened the food box for the two of them to take a closer look at, and saw that there was also some food inside, which was much inferior to his own box of vegetables. He quickly asked him to close the box and said:
"I trust you, old man. We won't check the wine. We will take you in. If you have anything to say, please tell me as soon as possible. Go and come back quickly. We are responsible for this, you know?"
Old Man Liu smiled and said:
"I know, I know, sir, don't worry!"
The two of them nodded. Old Man Liu picked up the food box and a jar of wine, followed an official, and walked into the temple. He opened a locked wooden door, went down the steps, turned two corners, and reached a corridor.
I saw that the hall inside was divided into several rooms by rough wood, and it looked like several large cells. Except for the cell where Chunwan Qiulin was locked up, the other cells were empty.
The official took out the big copper key from his waist and shouted:
"You two, you are still lucky. One of your uncles came to see you. He brought good wine and food. Eat and drink more. We have no choice but to guard you. Just don't bear grudges against us. Just talk to your uncle.
Talk more!"
Then he opened the cell door and said to Old Man Liu:
"Old man, I want to lock the door above. Just go to the door and shout a few times when you come out. Remember to do it as soon as possible. Don't make it difficult for me."
Old Man Liu nodded in agreement. The official looked at him again, then turned around and went up to enjoy the food and wine.
Hearing that the officer walked up the stairs and locked the door above, Old Man Liu entered the cell carrying a food box and a wine jar, only to see two young people who were supposed to be energetic and high-spirited, tied up tightly and tied together.
The cloth strips tied around his mouth were not removed, and there were still sesame walnuts in his mouth, so he couldn't even make a sound!
