Bai Jie was afraid at first, but after walking for a while, he wasn't afraid anymore. Bai Jie thought to herself,"The country's knife is fast, and it doesn't cut innocent people." What law did I break? You have a complaint, I have a complaint! I didn't do anything bad. I know what I'm doing. You guys investigate! Bring out the witnesses and physical evidence! You think you can frame me just because you're an official? At the thought of this, he was no longer afraid. With a belly full of anger, he brought the anklet to the Suzhou yamen.
Suzhou's Magistrate Street was already very impressive. The class head entered the yamen and turned into the class room. He greeted her and pushed Bai Jie in. There was a big wooden stake in the room. There was an iron ring on the stake, and Bai Jie was locked there with an iron chain. After a while, the old man who was practicing martial arts came out and rushed to the main hall. He picked up the drumstick and knocked it a few times. Then, he heard cheers from inside. With a series of drumming sounds, the magistrate ascended the hall. The people of Class Eight stood on both sides. There were "Silence" and "Retreat" signs under the hall door, and all kinds of torture tools were placed. "Kowtow to the master!" the old performer knelt in front of the hall.”The magistrate's surname was Chang, and his name was Chang Youli. People quickly called him " Chang Youli." If he said you were guilty, then you were guilty. If he said you weren't guilty, then you weren't guilty. It wasn't wrong for the magistrate to have this nickname. He was in his fifties and had been in Suzhou for two or three years. It was said that he would be promoted soon. The magistrate had just sat down when he saw the old man below. He recognized him. Wasn't this Sun Liang, the Golden-Eyed Eagle from Class Eight of Yunnan's Kunming Prefecture? "Sun Liang, what's the matter?" The magistrate asked in a hoarse voice.”Sun Liang replied," I came from Yunnan and went around capturing bandits who were picking flowers. It was not easy for me to find some clues. One of the suspects has been arrested and brought to justice. Please bring him to court!"”"Oh, this is not bad! Since he was a suspect, she could solve the case with him!”"That's right! That's why I caught him.”"Men! Bring the criminal here!" Someone went to the room to open the chain and pushed Bai Jie. Bai Jie was brought up.
From the servant room to the hall, Bai Jie had suffered more than a hundred punches and more than fifty kicks in just a short while. He thought to himself, How is this a yamen? Wasn't this the King of Hell's Palace? Even if he didn't die, he would have to skin him alive! At this point, he had to endure it. How could a person not lower his head under a low eave? Bai Jie knelt on the ground and kowtowed.""Greetings, Grand Master." The magistrate twirled his beard, looked around, and drawled,""Criminal, look up!" "Yes." Magistrate Chang looked at him and thought,"This kid has delicate skin and tender flesh. He's also handsome. He doesn't look like a murderer." He thought that something was wrong. He couldn't just look at his appearance. Who knew what he had done? "Lower your head!" he shouted in fear as he slammed the table.”Bai Jie was shocked and lowered her head. "Where do you live?" "I'm a Suzhou native and live in the Eastern Palace's Wenshu Alley.”"Profession?" "I…I'm still young and don't have a profession yet.”"How many people are there in the family?" "It's just me and my old mother.”"What's your name?" the magistrate asked.”"How old is Bai Jie and Bai Fengru?"”"I'm eighteen this year." "Do you know why I caught you?" "I don't know. I'm innocent!" The magistrate chuckled." Those are the first words of every person we catch. It's like they were taught by a master." Wronged? Where is the injustice?" "Although I, Bai Jie, was born into a commoner family, I was raised by my mother. I know what's good for me and won't do anything that breaks the law. I've never caused trouble before. How can you say that I'm a rapist? What crime have I committed? Please investigate!" "Alright!" The magistrate chuckled again. Then I'll tell you!" The magistrate took out a stack of official documents and waved it in front of Bai Jie's eyes. How could she see it clearly? She only saw a few bright red seals. It was an emergency document issued by the Kunming government in Yunnan. Now, there was a rapist in Yunnan. This person's methods of committing crimes were very cruel. He first raped and then killed, killing a total of 18 people. The most intolerable thing was that he had raped the young lady of the Kunming Prefecture, cut open her abdomen, cut off her feet, and hung them in the hall. A scholar can be tolerated, but who can't be tolerated? The criminal left a poem on the wall with his blood: Heroes are born with excellent martial arts skills, and they can do whatever they want in all corners of the country. First rape and then kill for entertainment, leap body and walk on the moon is Li Ying. This Li Ying was a true rapist. The government wanted to arrest him and execute him to avenge those who died. Li Ying was currently on the run, and his whereabouts were unknown. The government had sent people everywhere to arrest him. This Golden-Eyed Eagle Sun Liang had come under the orders of his lordship to capture this kid. They followed him to Suzhou and changed directions. They didn't know that the criminal had hidden in the Zhun family. For this matter, Sun Liang went to the residence to register, prepare a case, and investigate everywhere. Today, you helped out at the temple fair and even practiced boxing and shooting. Sun Liang said," I'm not a layman in martial arts. What you're practicing is not the same as what Li Ying is practicing. His family's things are never leaked out. If word gets out, it will definitely be his relatives and friends. In other words, you're close to him, so you must know his whereabouts." Bai Jie, do you understand? Do you know this Li Ying? Where did you hide him? Why don't you tell me the truth?”
This time, Bai Jie understood everything, and her head buzzed. Bai Jie remembered the Li guy she saved. He was wearing a night suit and holding a ghost head knife. He was lying in the forest with a dart in his hand. I saved him and brought him home. I asked him, but he refused to tell me. He kept stuttering as if he had something to hide. But he said that he was a good person. I still don't know who he is. He never said that his name was Li Ying or Li Da. It seemed that this person was not a good person. Bai Jie was extremely regretful and kowtowed."Great Master, this lowly one will confess the truth.”"Speak!" Bai Jie knelt in the hall and told him everything that had happened in the past. She didn't add anything to it at all. In the end, Li had returned to Yunnan and would come back in the future. She reported that her name was Li Da. Bai Jie told him everything."I hope that First Master will understand!" The secretary next to him recorded Bai Jie's confession. The magistrate was furious and slammed the table, saying,""Bai Jie, you're talking nonsense! You're not old, but you're really good at making things up! Aiya, why can't I believe that things are so coincidental? You carried a living person home to save him for no reason? Have you reported the case to the government? Since you don't know who he is, you adopted him. You don't know his background either, so you let him live in your house for more than a hundred days? What a joke! At least you coveted his silver! He must tell you the truth! Hurry up and tell me the truth, lest you suffer!”Bai Jie shouted,"Master, please be clear. I am indeed wronged!" He really didn't tell me where he went.”"You dare to be stubborn! Come on! Take him down and give him forty strokes!" The people below pulled Bai Jie down, took off her clothes, and swung the big board. Bai Jie had lived for eighteen years and had never suffered such pain. His skin was torn and his flesh was bleeding. Bai Jie screamed. When he was done, his buttocks were bleeding and his face was covered in sweat. He was dragged back to the hall. The magistrate asked again,"Bai Jie, are you going to tell me? Then how did Li Ying negotiate with you? Why was she hiding him? Especially where did he go? Speak!" Bai Jie said,"Your Excellency, I don't know even if you beat me to death!"”Magistrate Chang laughed coldly,"You are really sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued!" Drag him down and fight!"
He received another forty blows from Bai Jie. Bai Jie fainted on the ground, unconscious. Someone splashed him with cold water. Sun Liang, who was watching from the side, thought that it would be troublesome if he killed this golden-eyed eagle. Sun Liang took a few steps forward and stood in front of the magistrate."Your Excellency, I have a favor to ask. Don't be in a hurry to use torture!" "What do you think?" the magistrate asked.”"This lowly one is willing to escort him to Kunming, Yunnan, so this lowly one will hand over the mission. Then, he would use his mouth to catch Li Ying.”Magistrate Chang thought to himself,"This is good too. The case is not local, but far away in Kunming. What does it have to do with me?" It was better to avoid trouble. If he had the time, he would rest in the back room. Therefore, the magistrate nodded and agreed to let Bai Jie confess and put him in prison. Once he was imprisoned, the news spread: The young master of the Bai family colluded with the great thief and the rapist. The entire Suzhou was in an uproar.
The news reached Bai Jie's house. The old mother had originally prepared a meal. When her son came back from the temple fair, the mother and son would be delicious! She waited for no reason, and it was almost dark, but she still didn't come back. Her mother went out to ask around. Some people knew, but they couldn't hide it. The old lady fell to the ground and cried,"My son! My child is so wronged!" The old lady scrambled to the Suzhou yamen and insisted on seeing her son. Could the officer let her in? "Let's go, old woman! The unfilial son you educated! If the magistrate doesn't show his virtue, he will also put you in prison!”The old lady cried until dawn. After the Golden-Eyed Eagle Sun Liang finished the procedures, he prepared a prison cart and put Bai Jie into the wooden cage. He ordered,""Come on, get up!" This prison carriage was specially used to transport prisoners. The head was clamped outside the prison carriage, and the body was in the cage. The prisoner was wearing a neck lock, handcuffs, and shackles. Even so, they were afraid that the prisoner would escape. The neck lock was sent to the bottom of the car through a special hole and locked on the axis. Even an immortal could not escape.
Sun Liang saw that everything was ready. After the procedures were completed, the Suzhou government also sent four people to assist Sun Liang in escorting the prisoner. There were a total of nine people, including Boss Che, there were ten. They began to act. "Disperse! Spread out! Disperse!" As soon as the bus started moving, the surrounding commoners were so crowded that it was hard to see through the rain. People whispered to each other and discussed,"Isn't that Master Bai?" "Isn't that so? What crime did he commit?" "I don't know. It was said that they were harboring some kind of thief. Otherwise, we can catch him?" "This young man doesn't look like a bad person!" "Aiyo! It was hard to say. A person's heart was beyond one's stomach. One did not know what to do! He looks handsome on the outside, but who knows what he's thinking.”
Bai Jie looked left and right in the wooden cage, and tears fell. He didn't want to look at anything else. He wanted to look for his mother. Who can send a message to my mother so that we can meet again? Mother! Do you know that your son has been wronged? Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone shout from the crowd,"Walk slowly! Son, mother is here!" Bai Jie's mother came out from the crowd and rushed to the side of the prison cart like a madman. She climbed up and started crying. Bai Jie saw that it was her mother.”The mother and son sobbed. "Go away!" Sun Liang shouted. Go away! Who dares to stop the prison carriage?" Bai Jie's mother cried,"Sir!" This is my son! Others might not know, but I know my son. He was a good person! You've wronged him!" "Old Lady, let's talk about it when we get to Kunming Prefecture! Hurry up and make way! Get out of the way!" The old lady refused to leave no matter what. She grabbed the bars of the wooden cage with both hands and held on tightly. A few police officers came over and forcefully pried the old lady's hands away, pushing her to the side of the road. Bai Jie cried, and so did the old lady. Just like that, the car left Suzhou.
After Bai Jie's mother went back, she was seriously ill. She was frightened and doted on her son. She died in a few days.
Bai Jie cried until she fainted in the car. By the time he understood, the prison carriage had already left Suzhou. At this point, what was the use of feeling upset? Bai Jie cried for a while and continued to be manipulated like this.
Sun Liang led these people to escort the prison carriage and led the way. Just as they left Suzhou, it began to rain. Although the rain wasn't heavy, her clothes were soaked. Bai Jie suddenly understood. When he saw that it was raining, he thought of his mother. What crime did I commit, and you arrested me? Can't you guys be more reasonable? Everyone had a temper. Bai Jie was a little abnormal at this moment. She glared at him and shouted,"Stop!" "What's wrong with you?”Bai Jie shouted at Sun Liang,""You old bastard! A good man dies laughing at a thief! I, Bai, don't do illegal things, and I don't eat illegal things. What right do you have to arrest me?”"Master Bai, it's useless to tell me this!" Sun Liang said. When we get to Kunming, you can talk to the officials. Let me tell you, follow obediently and avoid physical pain! Otherwise, I won't be polite to you!”Bai Jie sneered." Sun, you're welcome. What else can you do?" I'm going to risk this hundred catties. I don't want to f * cking live anymore!”Bai Jie kept cursing. No one paid attention to him, afraid that something would happen on the road. If something happened, they would not be able to explain themselves when they returned to Kunming.
After walking for a while, the rain became heavier. When Bai Jie saw that her body was drenched, she shouted again,"Stop! Don't leave!" "Master Bai, why aren't you leaving?" Sun Liang asked.”"Surnamed Sun, don't say that I didn't break the law. Even if I did, my body didn't break the law! I won't do it!" When Sun Liang heard this, what this kid said wasn't unreasonable. He looked at the sky. It was overcast and it wouldn't be sunny for the time being. He looked at these guys and didn't have anything to protect them from the rain. After thinking about it, he said to Bai Jie,"Young Master Bai, don't be anxious. If you get watered, we'll get watered too. Look at this place. There's no village or shop. What can we do? You can suffer for a while. Let's go a little further. If there's a place to shelter from the rain, let's take shelter, okay?”Bai Jie nodded. The car continued to drive for about three miles, and the rain continued to pour. Seeing that there was a temple by the road that could shelter them from the rain, Sun Liang told the car owner,""Hurry up! Drive the car to the temple!" When he arrived at the temple, he saw that it was a temple of Guan Yu. The temple had been in disrepair for a long time. The courtyard wall had collapsed, and only half of the door was left. They pushed the door open and drove the car into the courtyard. On both sides of the main hall were the east and west side halls. Sun Liang walked around and felt that the house was okay. There was no problem with shelter. He asked people to open the prison cart and carry Bai Jie to the east side hall. He took off his wet clothes and wrung them. He got some firewood and lit a fire. He baked his clothes around the fire. Those who brought dry food ate dry food. The cart owner unloaded the cart and fed the animals. Everyone found a place to rest. Sun Liang went to the east side hall and said to the two officials,"Cheer up, all of you, eh? Find someone to change shifts later. The task was very important, and no mistakes could be made!”"What could go wrong? We're holding the chains with our hands!" When Sun Liang saw Bai Jie leaning against the wall with her eyes closed and feeling dizzy, he ignored her and returned to the west side hall. His clothes were half-dried and he put them on. He took the bottle and drank some wine. He leaned his head back and thought, I'll take a nap. On rainy days, people were tired. His mind was filled with random thoughts. The main thing he was thinking about was that the journey was safe and sound. If he could send Bai to Yunnan, it would be considered a job. He had been away from his hometown for more than half a year. His family must be very anxious! They are eagerly waiting for me to return. If I don't show up, they will be worried to death. Sigh! It's not that easy to get what you want! When Sun Liang thought of this, he closed his eyes and felt like he was about to fall asleep. After sleeping for a while, he looked around and realized that all the servants were asleep. He thought about finding someone to change shifts! If the rain stopped, they would have to hurry. He carried a knife on his back and a spear in his hand. When he came out, he saw that the rain was still falling. It was much lighter than before. He strolled to the east side hall, opened the door and entered the room. He couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, which scared him out of his wits. The two guards were staggering, foaming at the mouth and rolling their eyes. He looked for Bai Jie again, but there was no trace of her. He thought,"If I lose the job, it's my responsibility. If I can't eat it, I'll have to bear the consequences." At a glance, these two people had been hit by acupuncture points. He went over and slapped them twice, breaking their acupuncture points. These two people understood. Sun Liang smacked his lips and shouted,"Where are the prisoners? You two good-for-nothing! What did I tell you? Who told you to sleep?" "Boss, we didn't sleep. We just closed our eyes and hit our heads.”"What's the difference between that and sleeping?" "That's right! It was as if a dark shadow had come in through the back window. It was just a little behind us, and we didn't know anything.”Sun Liang looked at the back window. The window was open. He jumped out of the back window and looked out. He saw two people supporting each other in front of him. One of them was a big black man and the other was Bai Jie. They were at most a mile away. Sun Liang led his men to chase after them. When they reached the forest, they saw that the big black man was Li Ying. They thought to themselves, I'll catch you even if I have to risk my life.
Besides, Bai Jie was rescued by the big black man and met Tong Lin. Hearing Tong Lin's question, Bai Jie asked the big black man first,""You're a good friend! But who exactly are you? Just because I saved you in the forest, the people in the hall said that you were a rapist with eighteen lives. The government is arresting you. Why didn't you tell me? Do you know that this is harming us? Are you a good person or a bad person?" "Are you a good person or a bad person?" Tong Lin asked.”Li Ying cupped his fists at Bai Jie. I saved you because I was afraid that you would be wronged!”Then, Li Ying told Bai Jie and Tong Lin about her entire experience. After saying that, everyone was moved.
It turned out that Li Ying was from Kunming Prefecture in Yunnan Province and lived in the city. His father, Li Yao, also known as Li Guanghui, made a living as a bodyguard and opened the Shuangyi Bodyguard Agency. Li Guanghui had a good relationship with a man named Lu Cheng, so he came up with such a name. Li Guanghui was a kind person and didn't care about money. Lu Cheng was a spendthrift and didn't mind. The two of them had been together for many years and had never blushed.
One day, Li Guanghui discussed with Lu Cheng that they should not be in the bodyguard business anymore. In this business, they had to hide their heads in their belts and discuss buying a few houses to start a family. They had a boy and a girl so that they could carry on the family line. Lu Cheng thought about it carefully and felt that his brother was right. He had money now. Now that he was close to middle-age and had a family, his heart was at peace. The two brothers decided to invite the famous people in the city and those who had helped them to have a good time. At the end of the year, Li Guanghui asked the accountant to calculate the total and see how much money he had earned. He sent out invitations and invited four to five hundred people. After inviting everyone over, the two of them even practiced a set of martial arts. Everyone applauded enthusiastically. Golden-eyed Eagle Sun Liang specifically asked Li Guanghui what he was practicing. Li Guanghui said it was the Five Tigers Gate Breaking Spear. "Why haven't I seen it before?" Sun Liang asked.”"This is a family heirloom. Other than our Li family, no one else knows.”This was just a casual chat, but it became evidence. He really didn't expect it.
Not long after, Li Yao and Lu Cheng began to look for a house. In the end, they found a house in Jiangjiatun, eight miles away from the east wing of Kunming Prefecture. It only cost them 800 taels of silver, and it was renovated quite lavishly. Li Guanghui lived in the left courtyard while Lu Cheng lived in the right courtyard. The two of them walked through the same door and even hired maids and servants. There is no need to say the joy of moving in. The two brothers moved into their new residence and lived in their old age, but who knew that it would lead to endless disasters.
