Chapter 6 6: Put down the butcher knife and eat wine and meat
Chen Jin held a knife in his hand, but he used sword skills.
The newly learned "Sword Manual on the Mountain".
The three people responsible for guarding the cell, whether they were the cell leader or the jailer, were all very careless in their skills, and could hardly defeat the enemy with a single move, like killing a chicken.
After a while, three corpses were lying on the ground, with blood flowing on the ground.
Chen Jin glanced at the curled knife in his hand, then threw it away, then sat down, facing the table full of wine and meat, and began to feast.
He first picked up a piece of pork belly with chopsticks, which was as wide as a palm, and stuffed it directly into his mouth. He bit it with his teeth without chewing at all. He squirmed slightly with his cheeks and swallowed it;
Followed by a thick piece of chicken breast...
Chen Jin stretches and retracts his chopsticks and eats piece by piece in an orderly manner. He looks gentle but moves very quickly.
His mouth was like a bottomless pit, no matter how much he stuffed it, it couldn't be filled.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the table full of wine and meat, enough for six or seven people, had been swept away, leaving only a few empty plates and a pile of bones and dregs.
This meal made Chen Jin feel a little full.
During this period, no other guards or guards appeared.
Perhaps in order to deceive others and facilitate the operation, he chose to send the scapegoat on the road in the middle of the night. He had to keep some irrelevant people away to prevent people from talking too much.
Who would have thought that this time he would provoke a murderous god.
Chen Jin stood up and picked up the knife on the cell head. If you buy it with a little more weight, the quality will obviously be better.
Then they searched him and found two bunches of money, about one hundred coins, which was better than nothing.
As he walked, he passed through another portal, and his eyes suddenly opened up, and he came out into a courtyard.
This should be the front yard of the prison.
At this time, the moon is at the middle of the sky, and the moonlight is just right.
There is a temple in the courtyard.
Hell Temple.
In every prison, there will be a small temple like this, enshrining a statue of a green-faced god. When prisoners come in or come out after being sentenced, they would worship here and ask for blessings.
At this time, in front of the temple, a battle array was set up to look like an execution ground.
Two men were there, one squatting and sharpening his knife, the other standing.
The man standing was short and stocky, shirtless, with a red scarf on his head, looking like an executioner. He shouted impatiently: "Why is it so slow tonight? We haven't escorted the people out yet. Our family wants to finish the job quickly so we can have wine and meat."
The knife sharpener also complained: "Isn't it? The time is almost over. If the time is delayed, it will be troublesome if the prison god does not accept the dead man."
Chen Jin's steps were very light, but the light of the lantern in his hand quickly attracted the other person's attention.
"It's finally here."
The executioner complained casually: "If you don't come out, our family... Hey, no, who are you?"
Chen Jin strode over and slashed his neck with a knife.
The executioner screamed and fell to the ground, seeing that he could no longer live.
The knife-sharpener jumped up in surprise. When he saw this scene, his face turned pale with fright. He knelt down and said, "Hero, spare your life, it's none of my business."
Chen Jin pointed his sword at each other and asked, "Who is Chen Guiyang?"
The man's eyes flashed and he begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life. I don't know anything. I was only ordered to help sharpen the knife...ah!"
Already stabbed to death.
Chen Jin was too lazy to talk to him.
When it comes to being unjustly imprisoned and being the scapegoat, no one who is innocent, from the jailer at the head of the cell to those responsible for beheading, deserves to die.
In the conventional layout of government offices, prisons are usually placed next to the yamen. The two are next to each other and relatively independent.
This movement alarmed everyone, and some dogs began to bark wildly.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time.
After looking at the courtyard wall, which was about two feet high, Chen Jin was about to turn over and go out. Suddenly he felt something. He looked up and looked at the Hell Temple.
This temple is not big, it is a small room with no door panels. The door is open and couplets are hung on the left and right:
The red rain silently frightens the dream of spring; the blue sky has eyes to see clearly.
The temple is lit with lights, and you can see a sacred table placed in the center.
Tributes are displayed on the sacred table, and a green-faced god statue about two feet high is enshrined.
A malice, like dark smoke, was emanating from the statue's open eyes, trying to cover Chen Jin. "The blue sky has eyes, can you tell the truth?"
Chen Jin sneered and suddenly raised his hand.
Whoosh!
Throwing out the steel knife in his hand, it hit the green-faced statue between the eyebrows without any bias.
"Ah!"
There seemed to be a painful and angry roar.
Nowadays, the reason why Chen Jin has extraordinary perception is because his soul remains intact.
He went to the Dantian to refine his soul, and after practicing for hundreds of years, he had already condensed the thoughts of Dharma.
The thought of Dharma never ceases, and the soul is immortal.
But currently, due to his weak body, he cannot exert even one percent of his power.
Otherwise, the sword thrown just now would be enough to kill the opponent just by concentrating on it.
After receiving the blow, the wisp of malice immediately retreated and fled towards the death row. It soon mixed with the mass of evil energy and disappeared.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Chen Jin frowned.
At this time, there was a lot of noise outside, and a large number of people were alerted and swarmed in.
Chen Jin no longer hesitated, took a running start, climbed up the wall with both hands, climbed up the wall like an ape, jumped down, and quickly disappeared into the night.
……
"Bang!"
The door was knocked open and a large group of officers broke in.
The leader is a tall head catcher with a Chinese character face and sharp eyes.
As soon as they entered, they saw the scene in front of the Hell Temple. Two executioners were lying dead on the spot, with blood flowing all over the ground.
Of course this is not a place of execution, it is a private setting.
Regarding the shameful activities in the prison, the officials over there in the yamen have heard a lot about the first-class arrests.
But the systems are different, and the division of labor is different. As long as things don't get serious, no one will care.
But tonight, there was no doubt that things were getting serious.
Two executioners died in the front yard, and the statue of the prison god was cut open with a knife;
The cell leader and two jailers died in the hall;
In the corridor of the death row inside, two more jailers were lying down...
A total of seven people, plus a statue of a god.
And the incident happened in a public gate.
This is definitely a huge case.
Has someone jailbroken?
But according to the case records, no major criminals have been caught recently. As for ordinary prisoners, how can they have such ability to fight their way out?
And it was a one-sided massacre.
Through investigation of the crime scene, it was found that the other party even had a full meal in the hall.
What is this?
"Holding a sharp knife in hand and having the desire to kill, put down the butcher's knife and eat wine and meat."
Song Wencheng, the magistrate of Genshui County, was born in Juren and loved to show off his literary skills. He was inspired by this and recited these two sentences on the spot.
Soon, the court went to court at night, and the old writer was first brought up for interrogation.
The old writer cried out that he was wronged, but in court, he did not dare to speak out about "unjustly imprisoned and scapegoated". It was only said that the jailer came to take Chen Jin out at night, and then locked the cell door. He was locked in the cell and had no idea what happened next.
Chen Jin’s identity and name are also unknown.
He really doesn't know.
He was interrogated and tortured, but nothing came out.
There are various signs that the old book writer and Chen Jin are not the same group. Otherwise, they would have gone away together long ago. Why did they stay to wait for death?
So he was imprisoned again.
Then the magistrate of Song County questioned Jia Gong, the historian in charge of the prison, about two main things:
The first: What is Chen Jin’s identity and what crime did he commit to be sent to death row? Why can’t I see relevant case files;
The second incident: Two executioners set up a private execution ground in front of the Prison Temple. Who ordered it?
Jia Gong plausibly said that he did not know anything about it and that it was probably the murdered cell leader who colluded with the jailer to commit adultery.
Magistrate Song originally wanted to conduct an in-depth investigation, but soon the master received a mysterious note and presented it to him.
After reading the note, Song Wencheng sighed and gave up. He only ordered his men to solve the case and catch the murderer within a month.
Then he retreated and dispersed.
