Nongmen fierce wife, this king depends on you

Chapter 137 Mu Jin's Imprisonment and Sentence 2
"We are all in the same situation. We are all dissatisfied with the taxation of the world and come to the capital to sue. But the next day, we will be arrested and sentenced to death. Several groups of people have come to my village, but they have not returned. However, I am a scholar, and I knew a few people in the capital, so I thought they could help, but in the end, there was a nest of snakes and rats, and the officials protected each other, so I presented the certificate and was arrested here..."

"We are also because of the taxation of the field. The village has brought in innocent land tyrants. Not to mention occupying our fields, but also asking us to work hard for them. Later, we couldn't bear it anymore, so we gathered the villagers to go to the county. The county government filed a complaint, and the county government made random sentences, and then he was arrested here."

"Girl, have you offended the local tyrant in the village, or your county magistrate?"

After a long time, Xia Mujin finally understood that this Zhao Weiran was a treacherous official who exploited the peasants. Taking advantage of being the servant of the household department, he secretly asked his people to become landlords and tyrants in various villages. He didn't want to show up. But the silver was transported to his house.

And because I offended the Wang family, was it the county magistrate?

Thinking about it, the fire in Xia Mujin's chest seemed to be bursting out, and she was so uncomfortable that she was holding back. Suddenly, she crawled towards the base of the cell wall, and then looked for something there.

"Girl, your hand..."

After searching for a while, she suddenly appeared from the haystack. Xia Mujin was shocked. Seeing that it was a living person, and an old man of half a hundred, she frowned and said, "Old man, on the way to be escorted, he was arrested Several officers and soldiers broke their hands, probably dislocated."

If only one hand is dislocated, she can barely fix it by herself, because Shen Muhan taught her, but now both hands are dislocated...

"Girl, come here, let me have a look."

Hearing this, the old man waved to her.

Xia Mujin didn't respond, just crawled over, the old man barely propped himself up, at this moment, Xia Mujin realized that he had no body below the waist.

"Girl, sit here, hold on, I used to be a doctor..."

Xia Mujin couldn't control her thoughts at all. Looking at his empty lower body, her inexplicable eyes were so moist. This Zhao Weiran is so insane. He specializes in dealing with these powerless peasants. When she exerted force on her hand, only a crisp sound was heard, and Xia Mujin's arm was connected. Seeing that she gritted her teeth and did not make any sound, the old man also showed appreciation in his eyes, and then quickly connected her. the second one.

"Thank you old man."

Xia Mujin was able to move her hands, so she hurriedly thanked the old man, and then walked towards the base of the wall, then turned over the stinking straw, squatted down, and took out the small machete she carried with her. Scraping some powder on the wall and smelling it with the tip of her nose, the corner of her mouth curled up, but when she was about to move, she found that the wall was empty.

"Uncle, why is there no one guarding here?"

With a hint of doubt in his eyes, he asked the person inside.

"This is the underground death cell of the Zhao Mansion. It is not visible, and outsiders don't know about it. Even a fly cannot fly in. Besides, the back door of this cell is a cliff. Even if you have a chance to escape from this cell, In the end, I still have to fall to pieces, so, except during the meal delivery period, no one will be here at ordinary times."

Hearing this, Xia Mujin said "oh," and felt relieved. Immediately, she groped around the wall with her little hands. Suddenly, there was a bang, and a door opened, and bursts of foul smell came from the door. , but saw the old man with only the upper body crawling towards the door excitedly, and within a moment, he heard his mournful cry.

"Ah... Dad still can't wait for you to come out, it's dad who hurt you, it's dad who hurt you..."

Xia Mujin also walked in with doubts. This is a sealed small room, but the inside is full of bones and stench. The small space less than ten square meters is full of gloomy bones. Weeping uncontrollably while wearing a pile of clothes, it can be seen that the clothes are still worn by children, and they are very new. Thinking about it, this old man's identity is not as simple as that of ordinary farmers.

Xia Mujin didn't care so much, and glanced around, then picked up a piece of clothing on the ground, and started scraping with a knife along the surrounding walls.

It wasn't until there was a slight movement outside that Xia Mujin carried the old man who was unconscious like a puppet, and then pretended to fall to the ground.

"My lord, she is Xia Mujin, the person who caused Miss to disappear."

This was the first time Xia Mujin saw Zhao Weiran. He had an elegant demeanor, gentle manner, and a smile on his face. If it weren't for this fact, no one would believe that he was a corrupt official and a traitor.

His clothes were very elegant and indifferent, his gestures were natural and noble, when he saw the jailer name and name, he said: "Young lady, do you know what crime you have committed?"

His voice is friendly and powerful, and his smile is gentle and elegant. Nima, if she didn't know this man-faced animal heart, Xia Mujin would really be fooled. When he got up, the bottom of his eyes was filled with tears, and he choked up and said: "The grassroots don't know."

"I don't know? Okay, my lord will ask you, have you ever known Ms. Zhao Qiushui?"

"I've met you, Mr. Wang's family in the village... a nobleman."

"So... where is she now?"

"I heard that I went to Mr. He's house."

"Why..."

Xia Mujin followed the trend one by one to answer, but suddenly saw him let out a big yell, and the bottom of his eyes was also radiant with coldness. At that moment, Xia Mujin finally saw how an angel turned into a demon.

After a while, He Cong walked in with his waist bent and his back bent, knelt down in front of Zhao Weiran, kowtowed a few times before pointing at Xia Mujin and said: "My lord, don't be fooled by this woman. It can all be proved that she and Ms. Zhao fought to the death, and she was unable to go out for a month, and even ordered the ignorant child to trip over the lady. At that time, she fell miserably. She lay on the bed for more than ten days. Later, the lady went to the villain's mansion, and it was the villain who asked the servant to escort the lady back to Wang's house. Many passers-by could testify that after the servant came back, she said that the lady had lost her temper and went to find Xia Mujin. After coming back, we have searched all over the village, but we couldn’t find Miss, so I risked my life to report to you, my lord.”

He Cong's eyes flickered when he spoke, it was obvious that he lacked confidence, he was lying, Xia Mujin was not in a hurry, and he didn't clarify anything for himself after he finished speaking.

"Xia Mujin, but you still have to deny it. My lord has heard of your name, and it's a jingle in Damiao Village."

"Thank you for your praise, my lord."

Xia Mujin also accepted his praise without blushing or panting.

At this moment, the charge has already been placed on her own head, even if she said no, this Zhao Weiran would not let her go, besides, this is his cell, if he said yes, she was too lazy to waste her words.

It was the first time for Zhao Weiran to see such a stubborn woman, anger flashed in his eyes, and his tone became severe: "I'll give you another chance, where is Qiushui?"

Xia Mujin was still as calm as before: "The grassroots don't know."

This Zhao Qiushui is one of them. The real reason is probably because the Wang family can't afford the money to hand it over. If there is a person like Wang Shoucai in every village in the entire Tianli Kingdom, the life of the common people will really be difficult.

Therefore, he was trying to make an example, and let the county magistrates know about this powerful relationship.

"Humph……"

Zhao Weiran completely lost his patience at this moment, revealing his true nature, with a flick of his sleeves, he walked out of the cell.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day.

In the past few days, Xia Muzhen has been very leisurely. She eats when she should eat and sleeps when she should sleep. That night, everyone was asleep. Suddenly, there was a strange cross talk. The first time she heard the sound, she didn't open her eyes, but just waited and watched.

"Sisi, Hibiscus girl..."

"Ms. Hibiscus..."

Suddenly, Xia Mujin opened her eyes and sat up, somewhat surprised, "Ming Peng?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a black shadow stopped in front of her. It was very dark inside the prison, and only a black shadow could be vaguely seen.

"Miss Mujin, you are suffering, the boss is on his way back, let's go out now."

Mingpeng was rushing day and night during this time, and called all the brothers in the capital to find out the whereabouts of Xia Mujin. Fortunately, there was still time, otherwise, even if he died a thousand times or ten thousand times, he would not be able to make up for his fault. When the words fell, he wanted to pull Xia Mujin up.

"Wait, Mingpeng, this Zhao Weiran has a high prestige in the court, how is he doing on a daily basis?"

Xia Mujin refused to go with him, but sat where she was and asked Mingpeng a few questions.

"The prestige is quite high, and he is kind. If it weren't for some brothers who saw him go out from here today, I really wouldn't be able to come here, because this is a gambling house, and it is also the famous Wansheng gambling house in Beijing. There is a cliff on the back, but the wall above it is more than ten meters high, and generally nothing will happen..."

It seems that Zhao Weiran really has a human face and a beast's heart, that is, even the people in the court have been deceived by him. After thinking about it, she asked again: "Is it possible that this magistrate was appointed by him?"

Only this can fully prove that the county magistrates he appointed are a nest of snakes and rats, bullying the common people both internally and externally.

"This... I'm not very clear, it seems that there are a few of them, Miss Mujin, why are you asking so many, let's go quickly."

"Ming Peng..."

But Xia Mujin tore Ming Peng off, leaned close to his ear and whispered in his ear, and finally assured that Shen Muhan would never punish him after leaving, so he turned his head and left.

The next day, Xia Mujin was in a good mood, and walked around the wall every day, or entered the closed room. She believed that there must be a passage in this room, but, as for where the passage leads, it has to be found. just work.

However, she is not in a hurry to find out about this, Zhao Weiran, you should have thought of this girl's revenge as early as when I was arrested.
