A knife in love

Chapter 1456

Li Qiufeng saw that the arrester was holding half of the wooden shackle in each hand, and put it on the neck of the owner of the horse without any effort, his physical strength was extraordinary.Seeing that the four policemen had long swords hanging from their waists, instead of the usual waist knives used by policemen, I became more and more suspicious.

The leader of the arrester listened to Ma Zhuangzhu's pleading, but ignored him. He just pointed at Li Qiufeng, and the other arrester put two wooden shackles on Li Qiufeng's neck.Li Qiufeng had already deducted several copper coins from his right hand, if there was any change in the police, he would have to strike first.After the arrester put the wooden yoke around his neck, he inserted his hands into the round holes on the wooden yoke, locked the wooden yoke, and then stepped aside.Li Qiufeng saw that the policemen did not harm him, so he did not shoot the copper coins to knock down the policemen.

Seeing that Li Qiufeng and Ma Zhuangzhu put on wooden shackles, and their hands were chained by wooden shackles again, the head of the police nodded and said, "Take them away!"

The three policemen agreed, and then pushed Li Qiufeng and Ma Zhuangzhu to the door.When he walked out of the house, Li Qiufeng looked around, and the arrester who was guarding the door had disappeared.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, the policeman who was guarding the gate just now asked "Who are you?", he probably didn't know these four policemen.This matter is really strange, both work in the yamen, how can they not know their companions?

Four policemen escorted Li Qiufeng and Ma Zhuangzhu out of the wing room, and walked straight to the backyard.Ma Zhuangzhu was very uncomfortable under the weight of the wooden shackle, and he staggered when he walked.The boss of the policeman who escorted him was impatient and kept pushing and shoving behind him.Ma Zhuangzhu saw the vicious expressions of the four arresters, but he didn't dare to resist in the slightest.But when they saw the four of them escorting themselves and Li Qiufeng to the backyard, they couldn't help being a little surprised.He is a frequent visitor to the magistrate's yamen, so he naturally knows the rules of the yamen's trial.When he reached the corner gate, he looked around and said in a trembling voice: "Brothers, Mr. Li is going to ask the case, isn't it in the main hall of the Yamen in the front yard? Why do we have to go to the back yard for interrogation?"

The police leader ignored him at all, and still walked forward on his own.The policeman who was walking beside the horse owner kicked him hard on the buttocks, and shouted: "If you talk too much, your legs will be broken!"

The owner of Ma Zhuang was kicked forward, and his feet twitched for a while, so he didn't fall to the ground.Another catcher stretched out his right hand, with a palm like a knife, and tapped the owner of the horse twice on the neck, as if to behead the owner of the horse.Ma Zhuangzhu was so frightened that his face turned pale, he shrank his neck, and with a smiling face, he hurriedly got into the corner door.Seeing that he was so frightened, several police officers immediately burst out laughing.

When Li Qiufeng saw these people teasing Zhuang Ma so much, he felt resentful in his heart.It's just that he thought he was about to go to court. If there was a conflict with some policemen at this time, Li Zhisheng would be too frightened to try the case, and it would take a lot of trouble to see him.Therefore, Li Qiufeng had no choice but to suppress his anger, and followed Ma Zhuangzhu, heading straight for the backyard.

Everyone walked into the backyard through the corner door, only to see that this place is more luxurious than the middle courtyard.The yard is full of flowers, and there are exotic flowers and herbs everywhere, and the fragrance is tangy.The main room has white walls and green tiles, and the red pillars are as red as if they had just been painted.There is a large plaque hanging on the lintel, with three gold-plated characters "Tuisi Hall" written on it.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, the backyard is Li Zhisheng's residence, but it is built so luxuriously that it is rare even in the capital.I don't know if Li Zhisheng can retreat and think about his mistakes in such a gorgeous back hall after retiring.

Li Qiufeng originally thought that the four arresters would bring himself and the owner Ma into the main room in the backyard for interrogation, but after entering the backyard, the four arresters went straight to the right side of the main room and went straight to the corner door.Owner Ma was also suspicious, he thought it was very strange to ask questions in the main hall in the front yard, why did he avoid the main room in the back yard?It's just that he just asked a question, and was beaten and insulted by the policeman. Although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask again, so he had to follow the policeman to the corner gate.

After passing through the corner gate, there is a garden in front of you.Compared with the middle yard and the front yard, the garden looks a bit simple.Bamboo is planted all over the garden, layer upon layer, leaving only a small path in the middle, and there are no flowers and plants besides.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, outside the pass is a place of bitter cold, but I have never heard that bamboo can grow here.Although the garden in front of me is not as luxurious as the middle and front yards, it took a lot of money and manpower to grow the bamboo so tall.

Four policemen escorted Li Qiufeng and Ma Zhuangzhu into the path.This path twists and turns and extends to the depths of the bamboo forest.Everyone walked all the way, and walked around for a while, when a rockery suddenly appeared in front of them.The leader of the police reached out and pressed a protruding bluestone on the rockery.There was a sound of "creaking and creaking", and a black-gray stone slab on the rockery retreated slowly, and a hole as tall as a person appeared in front of everyone, from which there was faint fire.

The leader of the policemen stood at the entrance of the cave, and with a wave of his right hand, the three policemen pushed Li Qiufeng and Zhuangzhu Ma into the cave.Seeing this situation, Master Ma became more and more frightened, thinking that he often went in and out of the yamen, drinking and having fun with Li Zhisheng and Master Pan, but he had never been here.Seeing the eerie entrance of the cave, these policemen escorted themselves in, could it be that they have other plans?Thinking of this, he didn't care about being afraid, stopped in a hurry, turned his head and said to the head of the police: "Didn't you say that Mr. Li is going to be raised for questioning? How did you bring us here?"

The chief of the police sneered, and said: "Who told you to come late, the magistrate has already rested. I have to ask you two to be wronged for one night, and then go to court tomorrow morning."

Ma Zhuangzhu said: "Master Jiang and He Tutou let us rest in the wing room, why did you bring us here to be imprisoned?"

When he said this, he turned his head and looked around, and then said: "Even if we are to be imprisoned, we must be imprisoned outside the Yamen. This, what is this place?"

The chief of the police said with a smile: "You are the owner of Majiazhuang, so naturally you can't be regarded as an ordinary prisoner. This is the back garden of the magistrate's yamen. Mr. Li specially built a dungeon to entertain distinguished guests like you. Today In the evening you rest here, just make the two of you satisfied."

After he finished speaking, with a wave of his right hand, the three arresters immediately pushed Li Qiufeng and Mr. Ma into the depths of the cave.The owner of Ma Zhuang was terrified and refused to move forward. A policeman got annoyed and kicked Zhuang Ma's back in the back.Ma Zhuangzhu couldn't stand still, he staggered and rushed into the cave.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and his feet slowed down.The guard who escorted him pushed him on the back and pushed him into the cave.

A torch is inserted every few steps on the walls on both sides of the cave, illuminating the cave with light.After entering the cave, there is a gentle path extending underground.After being kicked into the stone cave, Ma Zhuangzhu bumped back and forth on the stone wall wearing a wooden shackle, and finally managed to stabilize his figure.It's just that under repeated impacts, the wooden shackle scratched his neck so that it was dripping with blood.It's just that he was terrified of being arrested and beaten. Although his neck was in pain, he didn't dare to make a sound, so he gritted his teeth and walked into the cave.
