Chapter 190: The Heart of the Strong
"Lord Qiqi, in fact, those two are poor children. ”
Tong Wei gritted his teeth and said stubbornly. Because I don't know what kind of person the county magistrate is now, Tong Wei mustered up the courage to say this.
"Oh, what's going on?"
Yuan Chang didn't have any expression, and asked with a flat face, showing the connotation of the children of the family to the fullest.
Since Tong Wei had already spoken out, he no longer hesitated, and told everything he knew.
"The one with three-inch long hair on his forehead is called Duan Tianshou, who is the son of Duan Yihai, a wealthy household in this county, and the other person with loose hair is called Gui Hailu, who is also the son of Guihai Bailian, a wealthy family in this county. Duan Yihai and Guihai Bailian and another Qiao Bushi are sworn brothers, one day Guihai Bailian went out, was killed by the Yellow Turban thief, and before he died, he confessed to give the family property to Qiao Bushi, the third brother of Jieyi, and implored him to take care of his son. This was originally nothing, however, not long after, Duan Yihai also went out and was killed by the Yellow Turban Thief, and Duan Yihai's family property also belonged to Qiao Bushi. Then, Qiao Bushi married Duan Yihai, a famous beauty in the county. As a result, on the night of the cave room, Qiao Bushi drank too much wine and confided the truth that Duan Yihai and Guihai Bailian were actually killed by him in conspired with others, in order to occupy the property of the two families, as well as Duan Yihai's wife and daughter. ”
Tong Wei's face was full of anger when he said this, he paused, looked at Yuan Chang's face, and saw that Yuan Chang's face was flushed. Seeing this, Tong Wei swallowed his saliva, and continued to speak.
Qiao Bushi intended to insult Duan Yihai's wife and daughter, both of whom were chaste daughters, and after learning the truth, they hanged themselves that night. Qiao Bushi announced to the public that the second daughter died of a violent illness, and at the same time cruelly treated the children left behind by the two families. Duan Tianshou and Gui Hailu gradually learned the truth of the matter, but the two did not resist and secretly probed the comrades who conspired with Qiao Bushi. In the end, they found out that the person was the former prefectural commander. After learning the truth, the two plotted to attack and kill Qiao Bushi and the former county magistrate to avenge their parents. After successfully killing Qiao Bushi, the two wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack and kill the former county commander. didn't want to, but the former county commander took the lead and arrested the two. It turned out that the previous county magistrate had already anticipated the movements of the two, but he did not make a move, but let the two kill Qiao Bushi, so that they could monopolize the property of the two families, and justifiably eradicate the children left behind by the two families. ”
"It's really a brute act, the former county magistrate read the sages in vain, and as a county parent official, he did such a dirty thing, which really deserves a thousand cuts. ”
Yuan Chang jumped to his feet and scolded angrily, as if something had happened to him.
However, after the former county magistrate obtained the property of the two families, he found out that the family property obtained was not real. With the wealth of the two families, the wealth obtained by the former prefectural commander is only 10%. It turned out that Guihai Bailian and Duan Yihai had a premonition that their wealth was huge, and they secretly hid most of their wealth in order to be coveted. Only Gui Hailu and Duan Tianshou knew, so the former county magistrate who originally planned to secretly kill Gui Hailu and Duan Tianshou had to put the two in prison, torture the two fiercely, and then force the two to tell the location of the treasure. It's a pity that before that time, the former county magistrate died unexpectedly, and the so-called one report is one report. ”
"Damn it!"
Yuan Chang gritted his teeth and cursed, and then asked puzzledly: "I often hear that the prison guards are fierce beasts that eat people and don't spit out bones, why do you tell this matter? If you force the two to confess, maybe all the wealth will be yours." ”
Tong Wei's face showed a sad look, and he said sadly: "Don't hide it, my grandfather was originally an official, married the daughter of a merchant, and his family was quite wealthy. However, some thieves coveted my family's property and conspired to frame my grandfather, and my father took my mother and my infant me to wander around, so I survived. Later, his subordinates took the position of warden and wanted to be an honest official, but in prison, they did not accept the money sent by the prisoners' families, but they would be uneasy. Therefore, the subordinates had to take the point, and later saw Gui Hailu and Duan Tianshou, knew their hardships, remembered their grandfather's affairs, although the subordinates knew the truth, their status was low, and they had no evidence, out of sympathy, they arranged a separate cell for the two of them. Seeing the adults coming today, my subordinates dared to ask the adults to seek justice for the two of them. ”
"They do have a hard time killing people, but why are you so active in asking for their lives? ”
Tong Wei smiled bitterly and said quietly: "How similar is the experience of the two of them to his grandfather, the subordinate just doesn't want his grandfather's matter to happen in front of his eyes again, so he asks for his life for the two of them, how can he have more money? Perhaps, he will be coveted by others one day." ”
"Fengxiao, what do you think this matter should be?"
Yuan Chang didn't answer Tong Wei, but turned his head to ask Guo Jia. In fact, the reason why Tong Wei was willing to say this was because he saw Guo Jia present. Now the most famous person in Dongping County is undoubtedly Guo Jia, a staff member, who gave advice to Yuan Chang and easily solved the cases of the people.
From beginning to end, Tong Wei's eyes were always staring at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia frowned and thought for a while, and said, "The two of them committed the crime of murder, and they should be beheaded according to the law." However, their actions are pitiful, and they were framed by thieves, and their cases are not reported to the state and county, and the adults can decide with one word. ”
In that case, the two were acquitted. ”
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Tong Wei knelt down to Yuan Chang excitedly, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing.
Yuan Chang can understand Tong Wei's feelings, after his grandfather was framed that day, Tong Wei's father must have been running around for help. However, there was no way to ask for help, and in the end, his grandfather died, the family property was taken away, and Tong Wei's father had to flee. If their family could have met officials like Yuan Chang and staff like Guo Jia that day, then their family would not have had such a tragic experience.
After listening to the case of Gui Hailu and Duan Tianshou, Dian Wei stood up and shouted in his loud voice: "Listen, the county magistrate is benevolent and righteous, and knows that some of you may be imprisoned for unjust, false and wrongful cases, and today I am here to inspect and give you a chance to appeal." As long as you think that you have been wronged and are not guilty, you can explain to the warden that the case will be re-tried. However, you must remember that if anyone tries to make trouble by misleading the truth with falsehood, he will be guilty of a crime of one higher degree and will not be spared. ”
"The adults are benevolent and righteous, and the grass people are inscribed within the five!"
"The adults are really reincarnated, and the grass people can only repay the grass by connecting the ring!"
"Your Excellency, the grass people must set up tablets at home and worship day and night!"
In the sound of the tsunami of the prisoners in the prison, Yuan Chang and the five people gradually walked away with Duan Tianshou and Gui Hailu. Some of the prisoners who were sentenced to prison for unjust, false and wrongful convictions reported to the warden Tong Wei one by one, and because of Dian Wei's words, those who knew that they were guilty did not dare to report it. Of course, there will always be people who go very risky and want to get by, and what awaits them is the crime plus one degree, or the two ways to get free by luck, there is no third.
After returning to the county office, Yuan Chang took Duan Tianshou and Gui Hailu to the resting place, and asked Dian Wei to guard the door alone, so as not to let people approach, and then entered the house.
Dian Wei wanted to protest, but after being glared at by Yuan Chang, he suddenly stopped. Dian Wei knew that because he told Guo Jia about Yuan Chang stopping Cai Yan's sedan chair, Yuan Chang finally began to take revenge on him. Dian Wei also knew that Yuan Chang specially brought Duan Tianshou and Gui Hailu, there must be something particularly exciting, but now he has no chance to know, it is all caused by many mouths.
"Duan Tianshou, return to Hailu, what are your two plans in the future?"
Duan Tianshou and Gui Hailu glanced at each other, knelt down at the same time, and said in unison: "My two lives can be saved thanks to the kindness of the adults, if the adults do not give up, the two of us are willing to serve under the command of the adults, and I hope that the adults will be fulfilled." ”
Yuan Chang brought the two of them with this meaning, and when he heard the names of the two, he already had this idea.
"I'm glad you do. However, since you are innocent, and you have the wealth left by your fathers, you can live the rest of your life in peace, and it seems that there is no need to do so. ”
Duan Tianshou laughed at himself, shook his head and sighed: "My lord, you also know that the two of us came to such a disaster early because of our family wealth. After going through this incident, we have seen the money, and we are willing to give it to the adults, but we have a request, and I hope the adults will agree. ”
Although I don't know how much property the two families have, Yuan Chang believes that there must be a lot. If someone gives him money, Yuan Chang will naturally agree, but the two still have a request, if he can't do it, Yuan Chang won't nod. After all, Yuan Chang is not a person who breaks his word and gets fat.
"Tell me first, and if you can do it, I will promise you. If you can't do it, you should take your wealth and live a stable life!"
When the two heard Yuan Chang say this, they knew that Yuan Chang was not perfunctory, so they were overjoyed, knelt on the ground, and suppressed their excitement and pleaded: "My lord, the two of us are willing to serve the adults, but I just beg the adults to give us a chance to become stronger!"
"Be clear!"
Gui Hailu was worried that he couldn't speak clearly, so he motioned to Duan Tianshou to explain. So, Duan Tianshou said firmly word by word: "My lord, if there is chaos today, thieves are everywhere. Even if we have so much wealth, we may not be able to keep it, and because of this incident, we don't value money. Therefore, we only want to be able to become stronger. We have also seen many warriors, although the warriors of the adults have never made a move, but like the warrior next to the adult, or the warrior at the door, they are definitely extremely powerful warriors. Therefore, we implore the adults to let the two of us practice martial arts with them. ”
It turned out to be such a simple matter, but Yuan Chang still slowly shook his head under the expectant gaze of the two.
"My lord, why? We only have such a small request, and I beg you to promise us, my lord, whatever you want us to do, we will agree. ”
The two of them were excited, and pleaded earnestly.
It was Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Han Sui, who were standing next to Yuan Chang, who almost couldn't help but agree for Yuan Chang when they saw that they were so eager to become stronger. However, they knew that Yuan Chang had his intentions, otherwise they would not have brought the two of them here, so they all remained silent.
"You two stand up, as a man, if you want to be strong, don't just lower your head. In that case, not only will I not promise you, but I will look down on you. ”
Yuan Chang suddenly shouted, but the two of them were startled.
The two glanced at each other, slowly stood up, and a smile appeared on their faces again, listening to Yuan Chang's tone, it seemed that they were ready to agree to them.
Yuan Chang looked at the two of them with serious eyes, and asked slowly, "Let me ask you, what do you two want to learn, and what kind of weapon do you plan to use?"
Duan Tianshou said eagerly: "My lord, I want to use a sword, the sword is the king of a hundred soldiers." ”
"My lord, I want to use a knife, the knife is the most domineering weapon among the hundred soldiers. ”
Yuan Chang spread his hands and said helplessly: "One of you wants to learn swords, and the other wants to learn swords." But Zilong uses a gun and Hong Fei uses a halberd, and you want to learn martial arts from them without understanding it, have you ever used your brains?"
Duan Tianshou and Gui Hailu lowered their heads in shame, feeling that Yuan Chang's lesson was very reasonable.
However, Yuan Chang's tone turned soft, and he said calmly: "It's not impossible for Duan Tianshou to learn swords, it just so happens that there are two sword masters under my command, who are called [Sword God] and [Sword Saint]. Gui Hailu wants to learn the knife, and I can also help you find a master who uses the knife..."
When Duan Tianshou and Gui Hailu heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. However, Yuan Chang's words in the next second made their smiles disappear again.
"But I'm not going to let them teach you swords and knives. ”
"Why, my lord?"
Duan Tianshou shouted out excitedly, but Gui Hailu's face suddenly turned cold, and he said with a cold expression: "Tianshou, let's go, my lord is playing tricks on us." We don't believe that we won't find anyone to teach us. ”
"Stop!"
Yuan Chang shouted, and Zhao Yun and Han Sui stopped them at the same time. However, the faces of the two were full of stubbornness, and they did not give in in the slightest.
"Young people are impatient, I haven't finished my words yet, what are you anxious about. ”
Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Han Sui couldn't help but roll their eyes, anyone who listened to Yuan Chang's appetizing way of speaking would not be able to help it, Duan Tianshou and Gui Hailu's tempers were quite good. If it had been replaced by Dian Wei, in the past, he would have rolled up his sleeves and beaten people.
"The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village" can well describe the mood of Duan Tianshou and Gui Hailu at the moment.
"Do you want to become a real strongman, or do you just want to learn from the strong and become a shadow of the strong?"
Yuan Chang asked with a serious face, it seemed that the answers of the two would let Yuan Chang decide where they were going.
Duan Tianshou and Gui Hailu glanced at each other, and at the same time shouted in unison: "My lord, we want to become a real powerhouse!" ”
"Good!"
Yuan Chang nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly said loudly: "Since you are willing to follow me, then from now on, you will no longer be called Duan Tianshou, but Duan Tianya, and I will give you the title of Tianzi Secret Agent." You are no longer called Gui Hailu, but you are called Gui Hai Yidao, and I will give you the title of secret agent. The reason why I brought you here is not because you have nothing to do, but last night in my dream, an immortal pointed me out, and you two would appear in front of me. And gave the two of you the direction to become strong, you go to the east at the end of the world, and you go to the south with a knife. You must remember that no amount of suffering can stop you from becoming strong, and you must never shrink from moving forward until you become truly strong. When that time comes, you will appear before me if you are still willing to serve me, and if you do not, you will find a way out. With that said, you will set off immediately, and on the road to becoming strong, you only need to have a determination, and nothing else. ”
"The two of us will remember the teachings of our lords, never flinch, and when they succeed in the future, we will return to our lords to repay your kindness. ”
After finishing speaking, the two who changed their names to Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao stood tall and walked towards the door with great momentum, at this time, they really had the demeanor of a strong man.
"Wait, you don't have any money on you, how can you do it? Lord Ben will give you ten cents each, remember to save some money. ”
“…”
Inside the house, everyone finally couldn't help but faint.
