Chapter 60 Prison
When 'Li' was taken away, not only were her hands handcuffed in heavy shackles.
Even his legs were bound by extremely heavy iron chains.
He was almost dragged all the way to Tang Bowen, looking very miserable and humiliated.
Such a severe punishment is too much even for ordinary men.
What's more, Mrs. Li is still a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken.
Such a scene almost provoked a popular uprising among the angry refugees.
Hundreds of people wanted to pick up the guy and rush to the county government office to beat drums and complain.
If the county magistrate does not go to court, they will go to the government office and sue all the way to the capital!
But Li Siping suddenly appeared and stopped everyone.
During this period of time, he spent a lot of time with Uncle Qianmian.
Just passing by, he realized that there was someone else who was disguised as his mother and was kidnapped.
But since Uncle Qianmian is pretending to be his mother, he must have a reason.
So Li Siping did not point this out.
Facing the turbulent crowd of refugees, Li Siping had no choice but to say that his mother had another way to escape.
If everyone rushes to make things worse, it will destroy her arrangement and increase the danger.
Li Siping was the eldest son of the Li family after all, and the refugees tentatively believed the boy's words.
They repeatedly stated that if they did not let Li back within a period of time, they would all go to the government to ask for an explanation.
And finally he told Li Siping that if anything happens during this period, he can always ask people like them for help.
At this time, Ni Qianmian, disguised as 'Li', had been taken outside the prison.
Even before entering, the overwhelming resentment spread out from the prison.
Filthy air from various sources is entrenched in it, which is simply the best place to breed evil things.
Fortunately, the government regularly sends practitioners to eliminate hidden dangers, thus preventing the place from losing control.
Otherwise, this place will probably become a scary cave that no strangers should enter.
As soon as he arrived at the outer courtyard of the prison, Xu Ke saw many torture racks set up in the yard through the mud attached to the 'Thousand Faces of Mud'.
There were men, women, and an old man in his fifties hanging there.
A long-lived old man is rare in this world.
But at this time he had lost half of his life due to the scorching sun.
He was weakly begging the guard in the yard to give him a bowl of water.
The guard sneered, picked up a bowl of water, and brought it to the old man's mouth with a smile.
The old man was also unconscious due to the sun, and he stretched his head with difficulty to try to take a sip of water.
But the guard seemed to be teasing the other person, deliberately letting the other person's lips touch the edge of the bowl, and watched helplessly as the bowl of water slowly drained away in front of him.
After playing with each other, the guard snorted coldly:
"Old bastard, you still want to drink water?"
"When will your family send money over, what? I’ll let you down later.”
"Otherwise I will hang you here today!"
This episode passed quickly, and 'Ms. Li' was quickly sent to the women's prison.
Locked into the same room as another prisoner.
Xu Ke originally thought that this kind of prison would be like what he heard about in his previous life.
Who are the boss and the second child in prison?
New prisoners have the lowest status and have to do all the work and are bullied every day.
But unlike what he imagined, the other prisoner in the cell not only seemed extra 'harmless'.
On the contrary, it seemed a bit too miserable.
A middle-aged woman in her forties was tied to the ground by heavy shackles and could only maintain an extremely laborious kneeling position.
Kneeling but unable to kneel, squatting but unable to squat. At this time, she saw the cell leader sending "Ms. Li" in, and she hurriedly begged and weakly cried:
"Sir, please spare my life... I really can't bear it anymore."
"Please show me mercy and spare my life."
I just shouted After two sentences, he seemed to have fallen into a coma, his eyes turned white, and he could no longer speak.
Xu Ke frowned slightly and signaled Ni Qianmian to step forward to see what was going on with the woman.
But a young woman in the prison next door snorted:
"Don't worry too much, she just knelt for too long, her head was severely congested, and she refused to listen and insisted on shouting, and then she fainted "Let her calm down for a while, she will wake up naturally."
Xu Ke scanned the entire prison and found that most of the prisoners were either raped or lightly raped. Various heavy shackles.
Only a handful of people had no choice but to sit on the ground quite comfortably with their hands empty, resting in their own prison.
After 'Li' stayed for a moment, she suddenly asked under Xu Ke's control:
"I remember that according to the law, unless there is a murder case, you are not allowed to torture privately without being interrogated by the county magistrate."
There can't be one prison. If you look at dozens of people, all of whom are guilty of serious murders, they are all vulnerable to death.
Seemingly seeing the confused look in 'Mr. Li''s eyes, the young woman in the next cell said very enthusiastically:
"Those who are put in the shackles cannot afford to pay. That’s why he was dragged to death by these jailers.”
Not only that, this young woman also popularized some methods in the prison to 'Li'.
Although according to the law, they are not qualified to sentence most prisoners on their own.
But they have developed a large number of ways to torture prisoners.
The one who is hung up in the yard is called "Duck Floating".
Hung up on a wooden frame with his hands clasped behind his back, and only his toes touching the ground, it only takes half an hour to make a strong man cry for father and mother, and obey everything.
However, they would often make people hang up for several days without allowing them to sleep, which was extremely miserable.
As for the torture method used by middle-aged women like the one in Li's room, it is called "goat pen".
Being unable to kneel or squat, it only takes half an hour to make one's hands and feet sore and numb, causing qi and blood to be blocked, and the brain to be congested.
In addition, there are other things like ‘a knight carrying a sword’, ‘roast whole lamb’, and ‘golden rooster independence’. You can use any of them to ensure that the other party will be submissive.
“That’s it.”
'Li' suddenly turned around and asked:
"How come you weren't sentenced to death?"
The young woman was startled when she heard this, and said with a smile:
" Of course I can afford it... I accidentally got caught stealing something from my benefactor, and ended up in jail."
"I stole rice with these people. , or people who cannot afford to pay taxes are different.”
"Oh."
After 'Li' asked, there was no other reply. She stood there blankly and there was no movement.
The jailers also seemed to understand that this man was arrested by name by the county magistrate, and they needed to wait until the old man was free to take care of it himself.
Therefore, they did not deliberately arrest Ms. Li and torture her in all kinds of ways, but just imprisoned her in prison.
The young woman in the cell next door didn't take 'Ms. Li' seriously at first.
He just thought that she, like him, was someone who could afford to bribe the jailer.
But who would have thought that when Mr. Li entered prison, not only did he not panic at all, but he was content with himself.
Standing in the center of the prison with an expressionless face, motionless, not drinking or eating, he stood there like a wooden man for more than ten hours.
Even when she woke up in the middle of the night and looked at 'Li', she didn't seem to notice any difference between 'Li's' actions and her previous actions.
"What a bastard...Isn't this old lady scared to death and standing still to death?"
