Treading Blood to Sky’s End Chapter 12: Prison

Tang Jingcheng disappeared, and Zhang Tianliu had not seen him since he woke up the day before yesterday.

Hou Xiangshan replaced Tang Jingcheng, but he did not pay attention to Zhang Tianliu's actions at all times, and because Zhang Tianliu was very quiet, he stayed in the room except for eating and going to the toilet.

At noon one day, Zhang Tianliu came out of the room on time, but what he saw was not Hou Xiangshan, but Tang Jingcheng, who had been missing for three days.

"It seems that you still can't trust me." Zhang Tianliu looked directly at Tang Jingcheng. From the look of Tang Jingcheng's uniform, he had already infiltrated the county government.

"Do we need trust between us?" Tang Jingcheng was not questioning, but firmly stated that he would never be associated with a thief.

"It's really sad, Officer Tang." Zhang Tianliu smiled, stepped out of the threshold and into the courtyard, raised his head and closed his eyes, as if enjoying the baptism of the sun.

Tang Jingcheng gave him a moment to burn the incense, and after burning the incense, he took Zhang Tianliu to the Lianshan County Government Office.

However, Zhang Tianliu failed to step into the county government hall. Tang Jingcheng took a side path directly to the dungeon.

At this time, in the dark dungeon, the jailer in the cell illuminated by the faint fire seemed to be sneaky, showing a chilling coldness.

Tang Jingcheng took out the handcuff key, unlocked it for Zhang Tianliu and left.

Zhang Tianliu waited for a long time under the strange gaze of the jailer. Suddenly, the six jailers in the cell stood in formation and greeted the big shot who had just entered, the county magistrate.

A wise old jailer hurriedly moved the chair out. When the judge sat down, Youyou raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Tianliu. Then he turned his eyes and asked listlessly Tang Jingcheng who came in from behind: "Is it this guy who was caught selling treasures?" You caught it."

Tang Jingcheng nodded.

"Okay, you're not old but you're a bad student, let's take him in." Without asking Zhang Tianliu, the judge ordered the jailer to take Zhang Tianliu through the many gates.

"Where are the mountain treasures?" At this time, the judge looked at Tang Jingcheng again.

Tang Jingcheng took a step forward and took out one tael of gold and three taels of silver and said: "He has already taken action, and the other person has already run away. I only caught him and found these from him."

"Well, how could the little thief have so much money? The evidence is conclusive. Give it to me first, and then add your testimony later before filing the case." The judge stood up, collected the gold and silver, put it in his sleeve and left.

The rest of the jailers also returned to their respective positions, chatting and spanking, leaving Tang Jingcheng standing alone in the empty cell in a daze.

For a long time, he raised his feet and was about to leave the dungeon, but in the end he turned around and walked through the gate into the dungeon, and soon arrived outside the prison where Zhang Tianliu was being held.

The environment here is extremely harsh, dark and dull, and the pungent smell not only irritates the nose but also irritates the eyes.

It seemed that mold had invaded his nasal cavity. Zhang Tianliu kept sneezing while squatting in the cell, but his hands were not idle. He was clearing away the musty-smelling straw and preparing to replace it with a new bundle of straw given to him by the jailer.

Tang Jingcheng gave the jailer a few pieces of silver and dismissed him with a few words.

"I will arrange for someone to give you money every year to exempt you from labor. You will not be assigned. Please repent here. I hope you can change your ways in twenty years."

"It will cost a lot of money." Zhang Tianliu actually cared about this.

Tang Jingcheng nodded and said nothing.

Zhang Tianliu piled up the moldy straw, took out a handful of new straw and wiped the ground while saying without raising his head: "False accusations, a very crude trick, you can't help but go astray in the end."

Tang Jingcheng said righteously: "You made a mistake, and it is natural for you to go to jail. The charge is false and the punishment is true. I have a clear conscience."

"You have a clear conscience and you won't come to see me." Zhang Tianliu sneered, rubbed his itchy nose to avoid sneezing again, and then said: "You only know how to catch thieves, but you never understand why thieves To become a thief, the motive and evidence are just superficial. You can never imagine the scheming that a thief goes through to become a thief. My father invested all his life savings into my marriage, but as a result, the real estate project failed and the marriage failed. He was even more unwilling than I was. No matter how much I tried to persuade him, it was useless. In the end, he died on the road to defend his rights. My mother became ill because of this. My old Zhang family is gone, gone..."

I don’t know whether it was the harsh environment or the painful memories that made Zhang Tian shed tears.

He wiped the ground hard until the blue bricks were shiny and still kept repeating and narrating: "One day, I saw the culprit who was still at large. I approached him. At that time, my My heart almost burst out of my chest. I forced myself to stay calm. I forced myself to smile so ugly that I didn’t even know how ugly it was. I reached out to him and started to introduce myself in the most fake way.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Tianliu raised his eyes and looked at Tang Jingcheng outside the prison, with bloodshot eyes appearing in his red eyes.

"After this, it's your fault."

For the first time, Tang Jingcheng did not dare to look at Zhang Tianliu. He turned his head and said, "You can definitely take legal action."

"Law? I deserve to be born a few years earlier, otherwise I would still be able to trust the media." Zhang Tianliu lowered his head and continued working.

Tang Jingcheng saw that the smile on his lips no longer held the same smile as before. He pursed his lips tightly, as if he was gritting his teeth, and his mopping movements were particularly fierce.

"No matter what, wrong is wrong. You have suffered a tragic experience, but you should not break the law, let alone implicate innocent people and cause dozens of people to die because of you. But I still hope that you can change your mind and be an upright person. ."

Tang Jingcheng left, and he had no choice but to treat Zhang Tianliu like this. He wanted to treat Zhang Tianliu like an ordinary prisoner, hoping that he would behave well and get a reduced sentence and be released from prison, but this was no longer that life.

Tang Jingcheng still didn't know where the other strangers were. The band was already in trouble. He couldn't move forward with Zhang Tianliu. He was practicing like crazy just to find the band as soon as possible. He should be helped and punished!

Zhang Tianliu kept the cell clean, but he himself became smelly.

But he didn't care. He took off his dirty clothes and lay on the newly laid straw, smelling the unique fragrance of the straw after it was exposed to the scorching sun. He actually seemed relaxed and comfortable.

It is said that poverty leads to chaos, but judging from the cold dungeon, Lianshan's security seems to be very good.

In fact, Zhang Tianliu knew very well that the dungeon would not lock people up for too long. If Tang Jingcheng did not pay him the tax exemption, he would be sent to the border to build the Great Wall soon.

Actually, Zhang Tianliu would rather do this, after all, the other person is not Tang Jingcheng!

Officer Tang, who knows this better, is looking for Shuyuan www. zhaosｈhuyuan.com spent a lot of money to keep him here for this reason.

It's a pity that it's too late!

After Tang Jingcheng sent Zhang Tianliu to the dungeon, he was not relieved at all. He immediately devoted himself to investigating the band's whereabouts.

The band killed the officers and soldiers and angered the city captain. He had issued a kill order, but the two people who died were so bizarre that their heads exploded suddenly. No one could see clearly how the band members did it.

But one thing is clear to everyone, this group of weirdos is not simple!

No one wanted to get involved in this troubled waters. The officers and soldiers of the city guard camp did not dare to die, and the official officers were even more afraid.

Cheng Wei also passed the blame to the county magistrate. Tracking and investigating cases has always been the government's business. Cheng Wei's move was not wrong. In order to reassure the cowardly county magistrate, Cheng Wei also promised that as long as the whereabouts were found, The capture can be left to them.

The two parties hit it off helplessly, but they were catering to Tang Jingcheng's wishes. All the officials declined, but he cared most about it.

Others thought he didn’t understand anything when he first arrived, so they all simply became mute! Let Tang Jingcheng continue to investigate, it seems that their yamen has taken this matter seriously, and the city captain is unable to make an attack. As a result, it seems that Tang Jingcheng is the only one in the entire yamen who is busy!

I painted my own portrait and paid someone to post it in nearby villages. While running around, I actually caught a few thieves along the way, solved a few minor cases, and resolved some disputes, but everyone in the yamen was fooled. .

Tang Jingcheng, who has returned to the police rhythm, has become the talk of the people in Lianshan City in just a few days!

Some people admire it, some people despise it, and most people just can’t understand it at all. I wonder what this person is trying to do so hard?

Tang Jingcheng didn't care about this. He was only looking forward to news about the band.

However, before this news came, he received an even more shocking news: someone wanted to protect Zhang Tianliu!
