Chapter 3 Hami's Death Row
Under the surveillance of hundreds of county troops, Hu Fei led his troops to leave Turpan in awkward manner. With this experience, when he was in Shanshan, Hu Fei ordered the troops to detour from a long distance. Anyway, the team brought enough supplies, so he didn't have to go to the city to buy food and drink water.
After passing Shanshan City, it was a little far away from the next stop of Hami City. When he came out of Hami a month ago, Hu Fei made Hami City frustrated. After only more than a month, he was about to come to this famous city outside the border again.
This time was different from last time. Last time, Hu Fei brought Li San and three minions, plus a seriously injured Zhang Yayi. In order to escape the arrest of Hami County Magistrate Yao Lebos, Hu Fei escaped from Hami City in a very embarrassing manner. This time, he brought nearly 500 brave and warlike cavalry behind him! He would no longer be afraid of Hami County Magistrate Yao Lebos!
Having set up camp two miles away from Hami City, Hu Fei wanted to see how Yao Lebos would deal with his sudden force.
Half an hour later, an army rushed out of the city gate. Hami, like Turpan, sent a county army of 200 people out of the city to monitor Hu Fei.
The armed forces in Hami City must be more than these two hundred people. However, in order to monitor a group of enemies of unknown origin, the whole city mobilized them, and it seemed a bit of a big deal to pull all the armed forces outside the city. Of course, a shrewd person like Yao Lebos would not do this.
After Hu Fei seized the camp, he ordered his soldiers to bury the pot and cook, and he wanted to camp outside Hami City.
It’s great to camp, you can have a hot meal and have a safe sleep! Especially outside Hami City, you don’t have to worry about hurricanes with the city cover. You can find water outside the city. Where can you find such a good place? The soldiers happily started to build stoves and cook with fire.
The two hundred soldiers outside Hami City were stunned. They originally thought that those who came had to send someone to contact and say hello if they walked quickly. It was really not possible. Even if they called directly, it would be considered an attitude. Unexpectedly, they set up camp here without saying a word! What should I do?
The soldiers were stunned, and the officials were also stunned. Finally, the officers who led the team thought, "If they don't come, let's go over, go over and ask what happened to those people? Are you passing by or what to do in Hami City? If you have something to say, don't rest here without saying a word!
The Hami County Army sent a liaison officer to ask about the situation, and Hu Fei told him: We want to meet someone, Zhang Zhonglin, the director of the Aimin Clinic in the city. Please help find this person.
So many people came to see the director of a clinic? The county soldiers’ liaison officer couldn’t figure out the reason, but since they made a request, it would be easy. As long as there is such a person in Hami City, I’ll just take someone out to meet them! What’s the difficulty?
When the liaison officer said goodbye and told the officer who led the team, the officer also felt that it was a bit inexplicable. Zhang Zhonglin, the director of Aimin Clinic, had never heard of such a person in the city. Well, since he had a name and a surname, then go to the police station in the city to ask. If you look for the population, the police must be more capable than the army.
The officer sent an adjutant to take two horsemen to the city with his handwritten letters to find the police station to inquire about Zhang Zhonglin, the director of the Aimin Clinic.
What is Zhang Zhonglin doing? He is escorting in the police station's death jail! Some time ago, after Hu Fei killed Yao Lebos's housekeeper Sadik, wasn't Zhang Zhonglin caught in the police station by being an accomplice of the murderer. This President Zhang couldn't stand the torture and brought all the deeds he knew about Hu Fei.
Although he had not participated in the murder case, he had provided residence for the murderer and treated his accomplices. With this, the Hami County Court sentenced him to the crime of sheltering and hiding, and directly sentenced him to death! Now he was imprisoned in a death row and was waiting for Qiuhou to behead him.
This is great. No one beat him after he was in the death row. He could deal with half full meals a day, but the mental torture is unbearable! The environment in the death row is not good!
There is a hardwood railing with arms thickness at the door. Except for the jailer who pours the toilet bucket for food when eating, there is no one else in the figure. In the small cell, there is a toilet bucket in addition to a ragged straw mat. The jailer on the stall is lazy and doesn't brush it when pouring it. The smell is so bad! Just now, the food and water are still in the same room.
The environment is almost the same, and the smell is a little bad, and it can be tolerated. But people are waiting to die in this environment, which makes people really unbearable.
Zhang Zhonglin was locked in this death row prison for only one month in total, and he seemed to be thirty years old! His hair was gray, his eyes were turbid, and his back was hunched when he walked. How could he look like a thirty-year-old clinic doctor? He was obviously a tragic old man!
When the adjutant of the county army came to the police station to find someone, the police chief was quite impatient, "Look for Zhang Zhonglin? This man is a serious criminal, a death row prisoner, and he wants to be executed in the autumn! Where can I take him out to see someone casually? The county magistrate asked about this case personally. If you insist on asking for someone, then go to the county magistrate to ask for an approval!"
When the adjutant heard this, oh, it turned out that this person was known to the county magistrate, so it would be easier to do. Anyway, the people from outside the city were not here to look for me, but they came to see Zhang Zhonglin! Whether to give it or not depends on the county magistrate's words. If you want to give it, give it, and don't get it!
The adjutant who came was quite responsible and asked the director: "It's okay not to let people take them away. I'll go and ask the county magistrate. However, since the person is locked in the prison, can I take a look first?"
This adjutant needs to be seen by the eyes. You can't say that you are here here. I have to see with my own eyes. It's best to ask Zhang Zhonglin what his relationship has with the team outside the city. When we go back to see the superior, we have something to say, right?
The police chief considered it and nodded, "Well, it's okay to meet, but the environment in the prison cell is a bit bad, don't care." The police chief was considering that he couldn't take anyone away anyway, so there was no need to offend the county army to just look at the prisoner. At any time, police officers in any place were unwilling to offend the army, and the police chief in Hami County were the same.
The jailer squad leader took the county lieutenant to visit the prison. The death row number is at the bottom of all the cells. The more you go inside, the more it smells bad. I don’t know how far you have walked, but finally it’s over. The jailer squad leader pointed to a cell and said: It’s this.
"Zhang Zhonglin, someone is coming to see you!" The jailer who followed him knocked the baton in his hand on the hardwood railing a few times, making a "dongdongdongdongdong" sound.
A figure slowly sat up inside, his gray hair was scattered, his face was covered in numbness, his beard was hunched, and his back was hunched. This was obviously a sloppy old man!
