Chapter 6 Pirate Yellowbeard

A group of birds flew past the blue sky, with a few milky white clouds floating gently above their heads, like white sails floating on the deep blue sea.

Li Jing half-closed his eyes and listened to the prosecutor of Chishan Military Town in the hall for his "crime".

"Ignoring national laws, prey on carp, and refused to plead guilty afterwards, and openly resisted the law to arrest him. This is a crime that is more crime, and the crime is added to the first level according to the law, and sentenced to the marquis of the marquis to serve as a warning. After reporting to the court, I will be executed immediately after the autumn next year!" The prosecutor was also wearing a green robe. He was just an eighth-rank minor official who was a little older than the Fatty Custody Office, but he was in charge of the prosecutor's lawsuit in Chishan Jun Town. Originally, Li Jing was not a soldier in Chishan Town, so he was not his turn to take charge. However, Chishan Town has always been domineering. Although the official in the Fatty Custody Office was not a big official, he was a fat man in guarding the warehouse. He said a few words to the prosecutor. Originally, a small thing that could not be more small immediately became a major event in the Deguan Jun Town.

Although he was not beaten with sixty rods, he added a false charge of resisting the law and resisting arrest, and directly tried a marquis.

The two soldiers came up and grabbed Li Jing's hand, covered the ink paste in the red ink paste box, and forced them to press the handprint on the confession.

The handprints were pressed, and the slogan in the hall slapped the gavel, and the unjust case was finalized.

Li Jing felt unreal. The moment he was carrying a heavy load of food to go home, but the moment he became the prisoner of the jail marquis. He waited until the case was passed on and after the review, he would be executed next autumn.

When he was being posed for being out by the sergeant, Li Jing accidentally saw Wang Liang at the door. The two of them looked at each other, and Wang Liang's eyes seemed to have a little guilt and a smug smile.

"Get in!" Two soldiers opened the dungeon door and threw Li Jing in. Then a slam sounded in the dim dungeon, and the prison door behind them closed heavily again.

The sound of footsteps in the two lines gradually drifted away. The dim dungeon was left with only the musty smell and rotten smell everywhere. This smell was like a dead mouse and a whooshed meal, which made people nauseate it.

"The second in commander, another one comes in." In the darkness, a somewhat obscene voice sounded beside him.

Li Jing raised his head and his eyes gradually adapted to the dimness in the prison. Only then did he realize that he was not the only one in the cell. There were nearly twenty people in a cell that was about twenty square meters. These people were wearing messy clothes, not even a prison uniform. Most of them were young men in their thirties or forties, but at this time they were all haggard, half leaning against the wall opposite, looking at him with green light like a wolf.

"Oh, I'm still a little white-faced. Look at this outfit, there are pairs of boots under my feet, and I have a pair of boots. What's wrong?" A thin bamboo pole with a ragged rag and ragged cloth on her body had long been able to see its original shape. He stood up and asked.

"The fat banker in the town wanted to force my fish, but I didn't give it to him. The dog official made up a charge and caught me in." Li Jing didn't know who was in the prison, so he had to take a step.

"You are talking about Zhang Ku official? That dog official loves to force buying and selling. If he refuses, he will definitely weave some charges to lock you up. What is the result of your sentence?" asked a man of thirty in the middle of the wall opposite. When Li Jing saw the man's aura of speaking and where he was sitting, he guessed that this person might be the prisoner's priest in this prison. Throughout history, there will be prisoners and prisoners. These people are more cruel than prisoners in prison. Such people must not be offended.

Li Jing replied: "Hangjian Hou!"

The man was also a little surprised: "Look at how much fish you dress like a scholar than a fisherman, how many fish are you greedy for that fat man? You won't give it to you?"

"It's only twenty kilograms of fish." Li Jing sighed. It was all caused by these twenty kilograms of fish.

The bearded man laughed a few times: "Then you must have offended that dog official. He won't have to kill you for twenty kilograms of fish. Think about it carefully, have you offended someone?"

Li Jing followed his words and thought it was indeed the case. No matter how domineering the fat man was, they had no grudges or grievances, so why did he take his life for twenty kilograms of fish? Wang Liang's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he was particularly stern after the verdict was announced. His smile clearly had a bit of pride and a little guilty. By the way, it must be Wang Liang's fault. Wang Liang's family and the Li family had a marriage, and Wang Liang was the fat banker's servant, so maybe this guy was doing it.

"After saying this, I remembered a fat official, a senator with my family."

"Oh!" The beard said a long time, but turned his head and stopped talking.

Li Jing couldn't help but walk over and asked sincerely: "Brother, can you do anything to help me out?"

The beard cages the sleeves: "You and I are not close to each other, why should I help you?"

"Brother, if you and I can meet here, it is fate. We are both people who are in the world, so why do we know each other when we meet each other? To be honest, my father and brother are all dead, and only my younger brother is left in the family, and the rest are widowed mother, two widowed sisters and two unmarried sisters. The whole family depends on my younger brother. If my younger brother is plotted by a traitor, my Li family will not survive. I also asked my older brother to help me, which can be regarded as helping my Li family. I dare not thank you for your kindness. If I can go out, I will definitely not forget my older brother's kindness." Today's incident has made Li Jing deeply understand the darkness of the late Tang government. He no longer dares to rely on others anymore, and can only rely on self-rescue.

"Boy, I really have the ability to help you out, why don't I go out first?" said a bearded laughing. A group of prisoners next to him also laughed, obviously laughing at the stupidity of him, a white-faced scholar.

Li Jing sat on the moldy straw on the ground with a little depressed look, feeling confused for a moment.

"Oh, boy, haven't you told me what you do?" Seeing that Li Jing didn't say anything, some of the prisoners spoke, obviously treating Li Jing as a seasoning for their bored prison life.

Li Jing said mutely: "My family is in the King Lizhuang 18 miles away. They farm and study and pass on their families. Their ancestors also had hundreds of acres of fertile land, but now their family property is lost, and there are only dozens of acres of thin land left in their homes, which is just a matter of hard work. I still don't know what kind of business you are doing, but why are they here?"

Shou Zhugan pointed to the bearded man with some pride and said, "Boy, my brother is afraid of scaring you when he says it. You can hear that, this is the yellow bearded Huang Er, who is lying on the East China Sea."

Li Jing was suddenly shocked by the name of the yellow beard. When it comes to yellow beard, there is nothing that people on the coast of Shandong know about it. Yellow beard is a famous pirate across the coast of Shandong. It is collectively called the bearded thief with white beard, red beard and black beard. Among them, White beard is the eldest, Yellow beard is the second, and Red beard is the third, Red beard is the fourth. According to legends from the sea, this bearded thief is extremely mysterious. They are elusive on the sea. Not only do they rob merchant ships on the sea, they even often go ashore to rob. In the coastal areas, when talking about bearded thieves, they change their colors. Even women often use the name of bearded thieves to scare disobedient children.

Li Jing did not expect that the famous yellow beard was locked in such a rotten and moldy dungeon, and he was skeptical for a moment.

When Huang Huzi saw Li Jing's expression on his face, he knew that he didn't believe it all, and smiled and said, "Boy, you see that you are not a good person. I will show you a way out today. However, you must agree to do something for me after you go out."

Li Jing's expression moved and couldn't help but be moved. Although Huang Beard and the others were thieves and people, he was a civilian. But now he no longer cared about these things. He has been in prison and may have received news at home. He still doesn't know how the family of women are worried about being afraid and have no master.

"Brother, you said, as long as you can really tell me a way out, I will repay this kindness."

"Okay, boy, I will trust you once. Come here and listen to me to show you the way to live."
