Start a mysterious island

Chapter 198 After the parade is over, the Empress of Autumn asks if she will be beheaded (two chapters in one)

The shopkeepers or customers in the street shops came to the willow trees on the roadside one after another.

Some people who knew some inside information were pointing at the prisoners who were quickly caught and being paraded through the streets, while showing off some of the inside information they knew.

"Do you know what happened to these people who were paraded in the street?" A fat man wearing an official's hat pretended to be mysterious and said to the passers-by who were watching the excitement.

"What on earth did these people commit? They were paraded through the streets by the police." Someone asked in agreement.

"If you know, stop telling me, and tell me quickly!" A rather impatient passerby urged the fat man wearing a member's hat.

Lin Li, wearing a bamboo hat, stood in the crowd. At this moment, he also became a melon-eater. He looked curiously at this fat man who seemed to know a lot of inside information.

"Ahem..." The fat man wearing a member's hat coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and then spoke to the melon-eating passers-by around him.

"I have a friend who works in the government office. When I was drinking with him yesterday, he told me about these prisoners.

You don’t know that these vicious-looking prisoners are a group of thieves.

Some time ago, they had the audacity to intercept the convoy of the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, intending to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Zhu family and then extort ransom from the master of the Zhu family. "

When the passers-by heard this, they all exclaimed, but Lin Li looked calm.

"The Zhu family you are talking about is not the Zhu family on Fugui Road, right?" someone asked.

"Yes, it's the Zhu family who lives on Fugui Road. We are the famous rich people in Dongwu City." The fat man wearing a member's hat nodded.

"Mr. Zhu and Miss Zhu often help orphans and elderly people. They are truly great philanthropists!

These hateful thieves actually want to kidnap Miss Zhu's family and then blackmail Master Zhu's family. It's really hateful. These thieves deserve to die. "

People on the melon-eating road knew the general story of what happened, and they all said indignantly.

"Yes, at first, when I heard my friend who was working in the government office talking about this, I was very angry.

It is said that good people are rewarded. This group of thieves failed in the end. I wish the eldest lady’s motorcade successfully escaped from this group of thieves.

Later, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family returned home and told the matter to the master of the Zhu family. Upon learning of the incident, the master of the Zhu family was furious and offered a reward to the thieves who wanted to kidnap Miss Zhu.

With a huge reward on their head, all the thieves who wanted to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Zhu family were quickly arrested.

No, after being caught, Mr. Zhu's anger still hadn't dissipated, so he sent a message to the people in the yamen.

Let the policemen from the Yamen pull out these abominable thieves and parade them through the streets at noon when the weather is particularly hot. "The fat man wearing a military hat said with a smile.

"Good job. The weather is so hot now. It's best to kill all these nasty thieves in the sun."

The melon-eating passers-by hated the thieves who blocked the road and wanted to kidnap passers-by, so they clapped their hands and applauded.

Standing in the crowd, Lin Li listened to some people who knew the inside story, telling each other about the thieves who were paraded through the streets, and he had a certain understanding of this matter.

"I didn't expect that Miss Zhu I rescued, her family is not ordinary rich! And her father would actually offer a reward to the thieves. I have seen this kind of thing in TV dramas before."

Lin Li was slightly surprised when he learned about the situation of Zhu Xinru's family from the melon eaters in front of him.

If someone else had saved Zhu Xinru, after knowing the specific situation of Zhu Xinru's family, they might not be able to help but visit the other person in order to get more benefits from the Zhu family as a lifesaver.

But Lin Li was not that kind of person. After learning about the situation of Zhu Xinru's family, he had no idea in his mind.

Then, he turned his attention to the thieves parading in front of him who were about to pass by.

The thieves sitting in the prison car had some injuries on their bodies.

The physical condition of these thieves was not very good to begin with, but now under the scorching sun, the physical condition of these thieves has become even worse.

If it were placed on Blue Star, it would obviously not be possible to treat the arrested gangsters like this, but in Dongwu City of Chu State, which is a somewhat feudal spiritual world, it is obviously a normal thing.

This can be seen from the reactions of passers-by who came out to watch the excitement on both sides of the street. At this moment, everyone expressed strong support for the Yamen police officers to pull out these thieves and walk down the street in the scorching sun.

"Water, give me some water, I'm going to die of thirst." The scarred-faced man who was locked up in the first prison car said to the gray-clothed policeman riding a horse beside him.

The detective in gray clothes took off the water bag from his waist and unplugged it, preparing to drink some water to quench his thirst.

When he heard the scar-faced man in the prison van begging for water from him, he stopped drinking water, turned to look at him, and smiled.

"You want a drink of water?"

The scar-faced man pursed his lips that were chapped due to dryness, and looked at the water bag in the hand of the gray-clothed detective. His eyes were full of longing. When he heard the other party's question, he immediately nodded to the gray-clothed detective.

"If you want to drink water, first ask those who were killed by you if they agree! Bah..."

When the gray-clothed detective saw the other person looking at him longingly, nodding his head eager for the water bag in his hand, the smiling expression on his face immediately changed, and he coldly cursed at the scar-faced man.

It’s no wonder that the gray-clothed detective had such a bad attitude towards this scar-faced man. It was really because this scar-faced man who had been wanted by the Yamen had done too many bad things. It could be said that his hands were stained with the blood of innocent people.

If his boss allowed it, the gray-clothed detective would have wanted to take out his saber and chop off the opponent's dog's head on the spot.

The gray-clothed detective who coldly mocked the scar-faced man raised the water bag in his hand and drank happily in front of the scar-faced man.

"Give me water...Give me water quickly." The scarred-faced man saw that the gray-clothed detective was unwilling to give him water. His eyes were full of anger, and he stretched out his hands to grab the water bag in the other's hand.

Unfortunately, due to the distance, he couldn't reach the water bag in the opponent's hand at all, so he could only growl in unyielding rage.

After the gray-clothed detective drank the water happily, he placed the water bag in his hand out of reach of the other party and played with it again, deliberately teasing the scarred man.

"You scumbag, you'd better save your energy! Stop doing these useless struggles and shouts, and just work hard to survive!"

The passers-by who came out to watch the fun on both sides of the street all saw the gray-clothed detective teasing the scarred-faced man. They did not show any sympathy to the big man, but instead clapped their hands and cheered louder.

As a visitor from another world, Lin Li thought to himself as he watched the scarred-faced man being teased by the gray-robed detective and listened to the cheers of the melon-eating passers-by around him.

"These thieves are so hateful! Huh? I seem to know that thief."

The first prison car held a big man with a scarred face, the second prison car held a bald man, and the third prison car held a big man with silver earrings on his ears and tattoos on his arms.

There were still more than a dozen thieves imprisoned in the subsequent prison cars, but starting from the fourth prison car, the appearance and momentum of those thieves were far inferior to those held in the first three prison cars.

As for the three thieves at the front, Lin Li was somewhat familiar with the thieves on the third prison van.

He thought about it seriously, and a funny scene suddenly appeared in his mind.

A cunning thief who deliberately encouraged his companions to attack the enemy in order to buy time to escape.

That's right, the thief imprisoned in the third prison car was the third thief who led people to intercept Zhu Xinru and his group, and was then beaten up by Lin Li.

"This cunning guy betrayed his companions in order to survive. Unexpectedly, not long after that, he fell into the hands of the local law enforcement agency."

Looking at the parade, if it develops as shown in the costume TV series, these thieves will be executed in a short time.

Lin Li watched the convoy of prison vans paraded through the streets drifting away until they turned a corner on the street and then disappeared.

At this time, he withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the other end of the street.

A brown carriage came slowly from a distance. From the small yellow flag on the roof of the carriage, Lin Li knew that it was a 'taxi'.

He raised his hand and waved to the moving carriage. The driver was a young man in his early twenties. He saw someone waving to him on the street in the distance and knew that business was coming.

So, he shook the reins in his hand and let the horse run quickly towards the waving guest.

"Xu..."

"Guest, do you want to take a car?" the young groom asked Lin Li after stopping the car.

"Yes." Lin Li nodded.

"Guest, where are you going?"

"I just came to Dongwu City and am not familiar with it. I want to rent your carriage and let you drive me around Dongwu City. I wonder how much it will cost to rent your carriage?"

"Ah? You want to charter my carriage and let me drive you around Dongwu City?"

This was the first time for the young groom to meet such a customer. After hearing Lin Li's request, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"Yes, can you do this business? The chartered car time is from now until the sun goes down." Lin Li asked.

The young groom thought for a moment, then nodded, indicating that he could do this business.

Then he calculated the price in his mind and quoted a price to Lin Li, "Guest, you want to charter a car and let me drive you around Dongwu City until the sun goes down. The price is two hundred coppers!" .”

"Okay." After hearing the young coachman's quotation, Lin Li nodded directly without counter-offering.

"Um... Is the price I quoted a bit low?" The young groom, who had never done this kind of charter business, felt a little regretful when he saw Lin Li agreeing so readily.

But he set the price himself, and now that the other party had agreed, there was no reason to go back on it, so the young groom invited Lin Li to get in the car.

Lin Li, who opened the curtain and got into the carriage, was stunned for a moment. Not that the interior of the carriage was so luxuriously decorated.

In this kind of carriage, which is used to carry passengers and make money, no coachman would spend extra money to beautifully decorate the interior of the carriage.

What made Lin Li stunned for a moment was that when he got into the carriage of the carriage, he was greeted by a blast of cold air.

The cool air-conditioning filled the entire carriage, making Lin Li feel comfortable all over after being ravaged by the high temperature outside for a long time.

Walk into the carriage and sit down on the low couch at the end of the carriage.

Lin Li looked around the situation in the car, and soon discovered why it was so cool inside.

In the center of the top of the carriage, a square metal piece is installed.

This square metal piece is about ten centimeters on a side and is overall black.

The metal sheet has an unattractive appearance. If it falls on the ground, it will be regarded as useless metal garbage by others.

However, just such a small piece of unattractive black metal turned out to be a spiritual weapon that emitted weak psychic energy fluctuations. At this moment, it was actually regulating the temperature in the car.

Lin Li touched the unattractive black metal piece with his fingers and found that its surface temperature was very low, probably only between five and six degrees to eleven and twelve degrees.

If you use your senses to investigate carefully, you will find that this unattractive black metal piece exudes weak psychic energy fluctuations all the time.

"It seems that the reason why Wang Gui's restaurant was so cool before was because such a refrigeration device was installed..."

Looking at this spiritual weapon embedded on the roof of the car, Lin Li thought of how he and Wang Gui had lunch not long ago in his VIP room.

At that time, he was still wondering why the private room was so cool, as if he was in an air-conditioned room.

At that time, he expanded his perception and explored the private room.

Soon, Lin Li discovered a very weak psychic energy fluctuation in the lampshade directly above the roof of the private room.

Since the owner was present, Lin Li couldn't remove the lampshade and check it, so he put aside his doubts and stopped exploring.

The development of things is always strange. The doubts that arose in the restaurant were solved when riding the carriage.

"Guest, please sit tight, I'm about to set off." The young groom reminded Lin Li in the carriage.

"Yes." Lin Li responded, and then the young groom swung the reins in his hands, and the horse pulling the carriage immediately took steps, pulling the carriage steadily through Dongwu City.

"Master, your carriage is very cool!" Lin Li, who was sitting on the low couch, said to the young groom who was driving.

"Yes... the refrigeration device in the car is the latest model, and it cost me a lot of money!" the young groom said with a smile.

The weather is so hot now. If there is no refrigeration device in the carriage, many guests will not want to ride.
