Chapter 798

Man Bao entered the pharmacy with a basket on his back, greeted Doctor Ji, sat down in his seat, and began to wait for the patient to come to his door.

At this time, Zhou Lang had just left the gate of Yizhou City and had already arrived in Luojiang County. Tang County Magistrate, who had rested in the county government all night, also got up and had a hearty breakfast. Luojiang County Yamen servants were called to him for questioning.

"You mean to say that Laidou is in the gambling house in the county right now?"

"Yes, he left the village overnight the day before yesterday. He gambled with people in Daguan Village outside the city. In the end, he won a handful of copper coins. He came to the city the day before yesterday, and then he stayed in the gambling house and never came out." The yamen servant said : "He was really lucky two days ago, he has been winning money, but he started to lose yesterday, and he has lost almost all his money. He didn't leave last night, and he is probably still in the casino now."

County magistrate Tang said: "Then you take someone for a walk and bring him back to me."

The yamen servants didn't expect to catch Raidou again, and they still haven't figured out how Raidou offended their lord, told them to keep an eye on him, and even recruited Tang County Magistrate of Yizhou City.

However, it was precisely because of the invitation of this big man that the yamen servants did not dare to be negligent, and a group of several people rushed to the street of the gambling house like wolves and tigers, pulled out the mangy head whose eyes were red from gambling, and rushed to the gambling house. Go to the county government.

The gamblers who have already made the cover and are waiting for the last one: ...

Seeing that Raidou was caught by the yamen servants, they could do nothing but collect the IOUs that Raidou had signed before, and planned to go to Qili Village when they found time.

If the monk can run away, he can't run away from the temple. Even if the head is caught, won't there be people in his family?

Laitou hadn't slept all day and all night, and he was a little dazed when he was caught in the county office, but he might have been familiar with him for the first time, so he wasn't very scared this time.

So when he was escorted to kneel in the lobby, he didn't look too scared on his face, he just knelt in a daze, thinking about gambling.

County magistrate Tang came out from the back hall, and sat in the seat of the county magistrate in the lobby of Luojiang County with interest, and touched the things on the table curiously. After studying the things on the table, he propped his chin to look at the Dazed lame head.

Magistrate Tang sized up Laitou, and he knew it.

He turned his head and asked the yamen servant, "How much did you lose?"

"There are eight taels of IOUs written down."

Magistrate Tang clicked his tongue and said, "Is it their family's annual income?"

The yamen servant responded with a "yes".

County magistrate Tang took out a stick from the stick, touched it and asked, "I heard that his wife and daughter told him to sell it. Is there anyone else in the family who can sell it?"

The yamen servant said: "There is another son."

County magistrate Tang handed him the lottery and said with a smile: "Then let's hit ten boards first to wake him up."

"yes!"

The yamen servant took the lottery and dragged Laitou down to beat him, because the magistrate of Tang County was different from the magistrate of Yang County, the ten slaps from the yamen servants were actually slapped on Laitou. It still hurts again, and I couldn't help screaming loudly.

County Magistrate Tang listened expressionlessly, and waited until he was dragged in after he finished typing, he said, "Zhou Dali, look up and see who I am?"

Raidou looked up, only to realize that the person sitting in the hall was not County Magistrate Yang, but a very unfamiliar official, wearing an official uniform, who looked very majestic at first glance.

Magistrate Tang smiled at him and said, "County Magistrate Yang has gone back to Beijing to get married. I was dispatched from Fucheng to try your case. Do you know what you have committed?"

Leprosy shook his head.

Tang County Magistrate's smiling face sank, and he said expressionlessly: "I don't even know what I have committed. Obviously, I have no intention of repenting. It doesn't matter whether I try it or not. Come here and put him in a secret prison. In prison, choose another day for execution."

The yamen servants were stunned for a moment, but there was no reaction for a while, and the magistrate Tang raised his eyelids and glanced at them coldly.

The yamen servants came back to their senses in a jerk, and immediately dragged the bewildered man down.

It wasn't until he got out of the lobby that the manic head came to his senses. He struggled and said, "What, what do you mean? Execute me, why do you want to execute me..."

No one paid any attention to him, dragged him to the deepest part of the prison, pushed him in and closed the door.

Luojiang County is small, poor, and the folk customs are not very tough, so there are few people who commit crimes throughout the year.

Even if someone got into a fight or was caught for stealing, County Magistrate Yang would not put him in prison for nothing. Most of the time, he would put him in prison for a period of time.

Either go to work in the official fields, or go to the army to build bridges and roads, anyway, there are always endless things waiting for them.

Therefore, the prisons in Luojiang County have always been very loose, and the innermost prisons are usually reserved for felons who are about to be beheaded.

Since magistrate Fu, there has never been such a prisoner in Luojiang County, so the inside has been empty, and a person has entered from a place where no one lives, and the rats and cockroaches who made their homes in it are excited, squeaking lively Get up, run around and go out to have fun, but get back after a while.

This made the manic head, who often saw rats and worms, feel cold, and drove these worms away with his hands.

He knew that this kind of thing is like a dog, if you are fierce, it will be soft, so he grabbed a handful of straw from the ground and beat it like crazy, and finally drove the mice out of the cell, but he knew that they didn't If you go far away, you must be hiding in some corner and watching him secretly.

But Scarlet was not in the mood to think about it at the moment, he jumped to the railing, waved his hands vigorously, and shouted: "Master, Lord, why did you arrest me this time? What does that lord mean? What is execution?" ah?"

The head guard of the cell beat his hand hard with a wooden stick, making him retract it, and shouted: "Be honest with me, the adults told you to reflect on yourself, and you should reflect on yourself, even the things you committed I don’t know, so how can I know?”

After that, I left.

Someone in a cell far away from this cell shouted: "Hey, brother, what did you do, why are you locked up in a death cell?"

Scarlet's feet went limp, and he knelt down on the ground. He looked towards the place where he was speaking, only to find that it was a corner, and he could barely see people living inside. Obviously, his cell was really very deep.

There were no one in the nearby cells connected to him.

The mangy head burst into tears, "I, I just gamble, gambling is not against the law..."

"Come on, can you be put in death row for gambling? It's about to be executed, do you know about the execution?" The prisoner at the corner said, "That's beheading, brother, what a heinous thing you have done?"

"No, I didn't, I didn't..."

But no one listened to him except for the two prisoners who were restlessly idle around the corner.
