Chapter Seventy-Two: Sitting in Court and Deciding the Case
Soon, three of the wealthy families in Wucheng were robbed, and the government had already reported it, but when they heard that the robber was Long Wushuang, where did they dare to send troops to arrest him, so they pretended to be deaf and dumb and delayed their actions, which could only be regarded as unlucky.
Long Wushuang carried three heavy bags of gold, and when he saw that the goal had been achieved, he took Yu Xiaoyu's hand and walked around the street with a swagger, shouting as he walked: "Everyone come out, the Fulong Sect Heroine Fengxian Er has given everyone gold." ”
The whole city was in a sensation, the people didn't understand the truth, they rushed to get the gold, Yu Xiaoyu covered his face, pretended to be a phoenix, and sent it when he saw people, and made a fuss until late at night, and walked most of the city of Nawu before the gold was finished, and the two disappeared from the crowd.
On the edge of a small lake in the northeast corner of Wucheng, Long Wushuang and Yu Xiaoyu were lying on the grass, looking at the stars in the sky, Long Wushuang asked, "How is it, is it fun?"
Yu Xiaoyu really thinks it's funny, and she is pretending to be Feng Xian'er, people don't know their true identity at all, they don't have any worries, she can't even get enough: "It's fun, it's exciting enough." ”
Long Wushuang smiled: "It's fun, I'll play tomorrow, go back to sleep." ”
Yu Xiaoyu took his hand: "I still don't know your name." ”
Long Wushuang: "When you meet in Pingshui, you don't necessarily have to know the name, just have fun." ”
Yu Xiaoyu: "But I want to know your name." ”
Long Wushuang turned to look at her: "What, it's interesting to me?"
Yu Xiaoyu's face turned red again: "Villain, just tell me." ”
Long Wushuang: "Didn't I say it, my name is Long Wushuang." ”
Yu Xiaoyu pouted: "I'm bored, let's go, go back to sleep." ”
Long Wushuang took the scarf and wrapped it around his neck: "Tomorrow you can find a veil yourself." ”
Yu Xiaoyu likes the scarf a little, because the texture is very good, and it is very precious at first glance: "Stingy, can't you give it to me, no matter how you look at it, it is also used by women." ”
Long Wushuang: "It was given to me by a friend of mine, and I have to keep a souvenir." ”
Early in the morning, the news that the big devil Long Wushuang had arrived in Wucheng spread all over the teahouse restaurant, and he teamed up with Fulong to send Feng Xian'er to rob three rich families in a row, this is simply shocking news, Long Wushuang robbed it, he was originally a devil, how could Feng Xian'er be in the same stream with him?
For a while, rumors were everywhere, and there were endless discussions, and the topics of the people of Wucheng were all on this, and those who received the gold last night pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if they didn't know anything, and they also followed to inquire about the news.
Wucheng Yamen, the county commander had a headache, he had already sent a fast horse to Jincheng early in the morning to report, but no one knew whether Long Wushuang had left or not.
I was worried for a while, and it was time to ascend to the hall, and two people came from outside the yamen, a man and a woman, and the woman was still masked, as if she was very similar to the two people who robbed the night before.
A large group of officials watched the two swaggering into the court, and no one dared to ask loudly, let alone intercept them.
These two people are Long Wushuang and Yu Xiaoyu, and when they walked to the hall, Long Wushuang looked at the stunned county order and pointed at him: "You, come down, today I, Long Wushuang, want to be the master of the people of Wucheng." ”
When he opened his mouth, it was like thunder rolling through, and the yamen was in chaos all of a sudden, and the officials wanted to slip away, Long Wushuang turned around and shouted: "Stop, whoever dares to escape will be executed immediately." ”
The county commander stepped down from his seat tremblingly: "Dragon...... Dragon Mushuang...... You...... Don't you ...... Don't overdo it. ”
Long Wushuang ignored him, and went straight to the position of the county commander and sat down: "Escort all the prisoners in the prison out, Lord Ben will interrogate them one by one, open the silver vault of the yamen, move out all the gold and silver, and the violators will die." ”
In that fear, no one dared to be disobedient, and the officials were busy for a while, some went to the prison to detain people, and some went to the treasury to carry gold and silver.
After a busy hour, in that yamen, the gold and silver were piled up into a hill, and the bright thorns blinded the eyes, Long Wushuang slapped the wood, and everyone was scared: "Take the prisoner." ”
The first prisoner was escorted up, and Long Wushuang asked, "The person below, what crime have you committed?"
The man looked at Long Wushuang, looked at the frightened county commanders and officials, how did he know that it was Long Wushuang, and thought that it was a big official from above, so he immediately kowtowed: "Master, the grass people can't pay taxes, and they have committed the crime of resisting taxes." ”
Long Wushuang: "The people are not happy, what taxes do you have to pay, Xian'er, give him ten taels of gold, and release him immediately." ”
Yu Xiaoyu took out ten taels of gold, asked the official to open the shackles for the man, and handed him the gold: "Go home." ”
The man wept bitterly, burst into tears, bowed down, thanked him, took the gold and left, and the second criminal outside was brought in.
Long Wushuang asked, as usual, "What crime have you committed?"
Man: "I...... I...... Stealing. ”
Long Wushuang: "Why did you steal?"
The man: "The family eats too much, and they can't feed themselves." ”
Long Wushuang: "How many people eat?"
The man: "There are parents and five children. ”
Long Wushuang: "What did you steal?"
The man: "I stole a cow from someone else's house and sold it." ”
Long Wushuang: "It's also a poor person, Xian'er, give ten taels of gold, and be acquitted." ”
When the man was gone, and a third person was escorted up, a woman, Long Wushuang asked, "What crime have you committed?"
The woman said, "Kill my mother-in-law." ”
Long Wushuang frowned: "Why wasn't he executed for murder?"
Woman: "I don't know. ”
Long Wushuang asked the county magistrate again, "How long has she been locked up?"
The county order: "Lord Huilong, it's been half a year." ”
Long Wushuang: "Why didn't you carry out the execution?"
The county commander's face was red and white for a while, and he couldn't answer, Long Wushuang saw that there was still something strange, and asked the woman: "Don't you really know why you weren't executed?"
The woman hesitated for a moment: "Go back to your lordship, grass people...... The grass folk are pregnant. ”
The hall was immediately noisy, and Long Wushuang was shocked: "Quiet, did these officials do it?"
The woman: "Yes, I was asked to give birth to a son." ”
Long Wushuang: "What about the conditions?"
The woman: "If you give birth to a daughter, you will be sentenced to death, and if you give birth to a son, you will acquit me." ”
Long Wushuang: "Shameless, as a public official of the Yamen, with a mirror hanging on your head, but you are secretly doing this unsightly deed for personal gain, who is it, stand up yourself." ”
A servant turned pale and knelt down tremblingly: "Lord Long, you are humble and confused, please ask Lord Long for mercy." ”
Long Wushuang's face sank: "Xian'er, execute immediately." ”
Yu Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, she didn't say that she wanted to kill someone in advance, but since she was going to play the game to the end, she also felt that this thing was very hateful, so she stepped forward and arrested the officer, dragged him out of the court, and killed him on the street.
Long Wushuang waited for her to come back, and said to the woman who was already half frightened to death, "Tell me, why did you kill your mother-in-law?"
The woman trembled and cried: "My lord, she doesn't treat me as a human being, and my husband doesn't treat me as a human being, I am their animal, giving birth to children for them, doing housework, hard work, the slightest negligence, doing something wrong, will be beaten to the head and bleeding, my lord, I can't live anymore." ”
Long Wushuang: "If you are pregnant, I will not pursue your sins, Xian'er, give five taels of silver, and acquit you." ”
After the woman was let go, an old man of seventy or eighty years of age came to the hall, who was too old to be old, and walked tremblingly, hunched over, and skinny, and knelt down at the foot of the hall.
Long Wushuang asked, "Old man, what crime did you commit?"
The old man: "Back to my lord, the old minister is not guilty." ”
"Huh?", Long Wushuang was surprised, old minister? When did the old minister, he asked the county commander: "Who is he?"
The sweat on the forehead of the county commander fell: "The former prime minister's well is not." ”
"Oh?!" Long Wushuang looked at it carefully, it was true, he had seen it before, although he was still young at that time, he had an impression: "How could he be locked up in Wucheng?"
The county order: "This is what Your Majesty means, and the lower officials don't know." ”
Long Wushuang: "There's always a crime, right?"
The county order: "The crime is to deceive the king, Lord Long, the affairs of the court and the central government are too complicated, and it will be difficult to figure out for a while." ”
Long Wushuang thought in his heart that it was indeed true, how could the affairs of the court be clearly explained in one or two sentences, and he asked Jing Ran: "Prime Minister Jing, do you know how many years you have been imprisoned?"
Jing is not: "I know, Jincheng has been closed for three years, and Wucheng has been closed for ten years." ”
Long Wushuang: "Then do you know where your family is?"
Jing is not: "I was sent to the wilderness, and there is a distant relative in Wucheng who is dredging for me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live today." ”
Long Wushuang: "Then do you know who I am?"
Jing Otherwise, he raised his head with difficulty, his old eyes were dizzy, and he couldn't see clearly: "My lord forgives, but I don't recognize it." ”
Long Wushuang: "Then do you know Long Aotian?"
Well: "Yes." ”
Long Wushuang: "How is he?"
Jing is not: "The impression of the old decay is not bad, although he is rich, he is still kind." ”
Long Wushuang: "Okay, just rush to you, acquittal, are your relatives here, come and take him away." ”
A man in his fifties squeezed in outside the yamen and kowtowed to the ground: "Lord Long, your great kindness and great virtue will never be forgotten." ”
Long Wushuang: "Don't say that, I'm a demon, Xian'er, send ten taels of gold, release people." ”
He took Yu Xiaoyu to the Yamen of Nawucheng County for a full day, released 900 prisoners, and distributed a large amount of gold and silver, which caused a sensation in the city, and the news quickly spread to Jincheng and the Fulong faction.
