Chapter 675

Thousands of people said that they were really unlucky that day. Maybe this is their life, Wu Liang and Shi Qing thought helplessly.

The two of them lived a few days in prison without suffering. In a twinkling of an eye, it was time for them to go to the court for interrogation. The two of them spoke to each other one day ahead of time. Thinking of the advice given to them by Jin Laosan, they went to the hall full of confidence.

The officer escorted them to the lobby and ordered them to kneel down. The county magistrate frowned at them. Originally, the two men had their beards and hair scattered in order to sell iron. After a few days in prison, they were even more sloppy. However, the two men were used to their appearance, so they didn't notice the look in the county magistrate's eyes.

The county master coughed twice, patted the hall wood heavily, and asked: "who is under the hall, what has been committed, report it one by one."

Wu Liang was faster than Shi Qing in reaction and speech, so he said: "Cao min Wu Liang, this is my brother Shi Qing. Because we were bewitched by the boss of an iron factory, we helped him sell iron to make money. We didn't expect to get a bad start the first time. We were found by the official. We really don't know it's a big crime. Please spare our lives."

The startled wood is again a crisp ring: "you don't know this is a deadly crime, then you should know now, since you have confessed your accomplice, there will allow you a few days, and then you will be executed. First, catch the big head, and try the law by example, so that the people can see what the result is

Wu Liang and Shi Qing are scared. It's different from what they think. It's not that Jin Laosan said that they would be ok as long as Lao Li was confessed. Why do they have to be executed with them now? What kind of punishment is it?

Shi Qing yelled: "my Lord, we are wronged. We are really bewitched by Lao Li. We really don't know about the talent. Please forgive me. We don't dare to do it again."

The county magistrate turned a deaf ear to his words: "you tell me where Lao Li is. If you hide anything, please be careful with your skin."

They didn't dare to neglect them. They said everything in detail, including where Lao Li's home is, how big the scale is, how many irons he can make, and how many people he has. As long as they know it, no matter whether they can say it or not, they all recruited them.

The county magistrate nodded his head with satisfaction: "yes, you seem to be sincere and repentant. No fault is wrong. You are guilty of selling iron. Even Zhulian nine ethnic groups are not too guilty. But if you stop at the precipice and tell us what you know, you will be exempted from the responsibility of Zhulian nine ethnic groups and sentenced to death, Give you a grace period of time before you execute the sentence. "

For the county magistrate, this is a great boon, but for Wu Liang and Shi Qing, this is a thunderbolt. They are scared to death. They have no strength to stand up and are pulled back to prison.

I don't know how long it took Shi Qing to wake up. He looked at Wu Liang in tears, climbed up to him and asked, "Wu Liang, don't you think we can recover one's life as long as we give it up? What's going on now? Can we get out alive? "

Wu Liang looked loveless: "how can we go out alive? Didn't you hear the county magistrate's words? We were sentenced to be beheaded in a short time. If we go to court, how can we be fake?"

Shi Qing couldn't help crying: "don't we two brothers have a bright future and want to earn a lot of money? In the end, I haven't made a lot of money yet. How can you make me settle down? I'm not reconciled."

"At this time, you still want to make money, as long as you can let me live, let me do anything. It's OK to be a poor man all my life. I used to dislike my father's incompetence. Now, I'm going to die before I live to his age. What's the use of making so much money?"

For a moment, thousands of emotions surged into their hearts, including regret, reluctance and self reproach. They thought that they were going to die, and the future and money became unimportant.

They cried bitterly for a long time, but Shi Qing was not reconciled to what she thought. He asked Wu Liang, "do you think we have no other way? Just sit and wait to die? The third brother doesn't mean that he can buy people. Can we ask him to save us? Even if we run away, it's better to be a fugitive all our life than to die. "

Wu Liang sighed: "I don't know if anyone is willing to take care of us now. We are different from before. Now we are prisoners of death. Everyone who gets into trouble is full of coquettishness. Do you think that with our friendship with Jin Laosan, they will spare no effort to save us?"

When Shi Qing heard what he said, he had no music in his heart. Are they really going to be beheaded?

In the yamen, the county magistrate, who has just sentenced two people to death, is drinking with the elder Yu and the elder Jin. The elder Jin toasts the county magistrate with a smile: "thank you, my Lord, for taking this old Li in one pot this time. In the future, we will work together, and the money will keep flowing. It's time for old Li to give up his seat after so many years."

The county magistrate laughed a few times: "that's right. Lao Li, when I first came here to be an official, didn't know that heaven is high and earth is rich. No matter how powerful he is, he's just a peddler. No matter how big he is, he can pass the official? It's just that you two know what's going on and know how to handle it. I'll leave the iron works to you in the future

Boss Yu also said with a smile: "it's not the county master, you have the ability, thanks to your blessing, we two have the luck to work for you, our brothers toast you, I wish you a smooth career, step by step."

Jin Laosan quickly took up his glass, and two of them offered a toast to the county master. After several drinks, the county master was dizzy and praised, which was very helpful: "I originally bought this official, and I hope you can make money, give me a share, and let me be satisfied."

Yu and Jin look at each other and continue to drink and eat meat with the county master with a smile. In the middle of the night, several people have enough to eat and drink. The county master is praised as if he is in the cloud and helped back to sleep by his subordinates.

Elder brother Jin and Yu Laosan are also a bit drunk. On their way back, elder brother Jin can't hide his excitement. He said to the elder brother with a smile, "elder brother, our business has finally come to an end. We've been envious of others for so many years. This business has come to our own hands. It's time for us to enjoy our happiness."
