Chapter 135: The Picture
"Get out of the way!"
The horse's hooves rattled and the voices were shouted, but it was useless, and the man who was standing still did not move, thanks to the skilful man who passed by him dangerously.
"Look for death!"
The rider broke out in a cold sweat and turned back and scolded, throwing off his whip.
The whip hit his body hard, and the hot pain made Liu Kui finally come back to his senses, and then look at the sky around him, it was actually dark.
How long has he been standing...
Liu Kui looked at the official hall on the side, which had already been closed and locked.
Only Fan Jianglin is useless, useless....
I'll be watching you guys! I'll be watching you guys!
Liu Kui muttered, while raising his feet and walking.
There are more than 2,000 people in Linguan Village, and there are still 100 people left....
Human witnesses, human witnesses.
Liu Kui stopped suddenly, clenched his fists, and then pulled out his feet and ran.
The silence of the night was broken by a commotion, and the small alley became a little noisy.
"You get out! You get out! ”
The woman's voice shouted.
"I beg you, I beg you."
Liu Kui also shouted, pushing the door with his hands.
Where was the woman's opponent, the door was easily pushed open, but a man rushed over and hit Liu Kui with the stick in his hand.
The wooden stick was broken with a snap, and Liu Kui half-knelt on the ground, reaching out to touch his shoulder, and blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
There was silence in front of the door, and the woman's face turned pale with fright, and the man with half a stick in his hand froze.
It seems that he didn't expect him to stay out of the way.
Liu Kui laughed and knelt down the remaining half of his legs.
"I, Liu Kui, have never knelt down in my life except for the Heaven and Earth Monarch, and today I will kneel for you." He said. "Just ask you to stand up. To be fair. ”
The man threw the half-stick in his hand down.
"I don't have much to say." He said. Turning inward, "Close the door." ”
"I know that at the beginning, you had few people, the situation was precipitous, and there were no reinforcements in the future, even if you stayed, you couldn't save Xu Maoxiu and them, their deaths had nothing to do with you at all, and I didn't want to resent anyone. I just want a recognition, a recognition of the merit they swore to defend the city, Fang Zhonghe can still get the merit if he deserts halfway, why can't they? It's unfair, it's unfair. Liu Kui said, his voice hoarse, and he looked up at the man's back, "At that time, there was no reinforcements and isolation after acting dangerously, even if you wanted to, you couldn't save it, but now it's different." Now someone has asked, and now the court has sent someone to ask about them. The court is going to be the master, the court is in charge, you can save them, you can, as long as you say a word, you can save them, I beg you, please save them, you can save them, you can save them now, only you can save them! I beg you! ”
Liu Kui said and kowtowed.
The woman looked at her sleeves and wept, and her body trembled.
The man's back seemed to tremble slightly, but he still walked with his feet raised.
"Close the door." He said again.
"Dalang," the woman couldn't help but shout.
"Close the door!" The man shouted abruptly, shook his hand into the room, and closed the door.
The woman sighed and looked at Liu Kui, who was kneeling and kowtowing outside the door, and closed the door.
The night is getting darker and deeper, the lights in the small courtyard are extinguished one by one, and the border is heavily subject to a night curfew, and the sky and the earth are dark.
The woman crept through the crack in the door, and there was a place in the dark alley that was even darker, and if you looked closely, you could see a kneeling figure.
The woman tiptoed into the house.
The lights were dark in the room.
"He's still on his knees." The woman whispered, looking into the dark room, adjusting to the light, and saw the man sitting on the couch.
The man did not speak, but fell on the couch, and the woman sat down but did not lie down.
There was silence in the room, only the sound of breathing.
"Dalang."
"Shut up."
The room was silent again.
"Dalang,"
"I told you to shut up!"
"Da Lang, is your heart at ease when your mouth is closed?"
The man sat up sharply.
"What do you want to do?" He gritted his teeth and whispered.
The husband and wife sat staring at each other in the dark.
“… He's right, you can save them now. The woman whispered.
"Crazy! When a person is dead, what else is there to save. "The man is breathing, and he has to lie down again.
The woman grabbed him.
"Do people die in vain?" She said in a trembling voice.
"What if you don't die in vain!" Man's airway.
The woman was silent for a moment.
"Da Lang, I also heard on the street, the imperial court really investigated these things again, and Fang Zhonghe was in a hurry, even the adults were afraid, otherwise how could they arrest Xu Sigen, Da Lang, if we stand up and testify, maybe we can..."
"Shut up! You're getting impatient! The man lowered his voice and shouted.
"I just don't want you to live a nest, a nest for the rest of your life, and a lifetime of pressing this stone in your heart." The woman cried, "It is better to die than this, and it is also a pleasure." ”
The man lay down and pulled the quilt to cover him and stopped talking.
The woman wiped away her tears and wept lowly.
"Fan Jianglin was driven away, Xu Sigen was arrested, it was already so difficult, there were still people running around for him, and some people pitied him, if it didn't work out in the end, there would be no hope for the world."
"There is no hope in the human heart."
The crying was low and slowly dissolved into silence.
When the night faded and the sky grew brighter, the woman opened her eyes, but saw that the man beside her was gone, she hurriedly turned over, opened the door, and saw that the man was opening the courtyard door.
The weather in the northwest at the beginning of September had turned cooler, and a figure knelt straight in the morning fog.
The man held the door's hand for a moment.
I knelt all night!
"What are you trying to do?" He asked sullenly.
Liu Kui looked up at him and grinned.
"Justice." He said.
"What if it's fair? It's just a name, and what's the use of it to them. The man said.
Liu Kui smiled.
"Yes, it's useless, it's useless to be dead, but, isn't there still a living? Are there so many others alive like them? He said, stretching out his hand and pointing behind him, "For the justice of the dead, for the sake of not being bullied in the future when you live." ”
The man looked at him and walked over with his feet raised.
"Okay, I'll do it justice." He said, holding out his hand.
Liu Kui looked at him, as if he was a little incredulous, and it wasn't until the man reached forward again that he came back to his senses and stretched out his hand to hold it.
The man pulled him up with all his might, and their hands clasped tightly.
The woman who saw this scene raised her hand at the door of the house to wipe away her tears, but her face was smiling.
Liu Kui limped around.
"Where are you going?" The man asked, stunned.
"I'll go to justice." Liu Kui said, turning back to him and grinning, "If I can find you one, I will definitely be able to find more." ”
The man looked at him and lifted his heels.
"I'll go with you." "It's easier for two people to find it faster." ”
………………………………………….
The galloping horse held the gold medal in his hand and the yellow silk behind the horse, and went straight to the official hall of Longgu City without any hindrance.
"Order."
Accompanied by the screams of the eunuchs, the generals of Longgu City knelt down in the official hall and listened to the emperor's instructions.
The words are still the content of the last time, but the tone is a little harsher than the last time, and it seems that the people in Beijing are not making a lot of trouble.
Jiang Wenyuan snorted coldly in his heart, at this time, the will was delivered, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted that the minister obeyed the order and reached out to take it.
"Your Majesty, you want to get the results immediately." The chamberlain said that if he thanked the generals and invited him to rest, it seemed that he would immediately rush back to Beijing with the results without delay.
Is it really that urgent?
"It's so urgent, I can't put it off." The chamberlain said.
Jiang Wenyuan glanced at Zhou Fengxiang, but Zhou Fengxiang avoided his gaze and did not speak.
"My lord, the matter has been investigated." Jiang Wenyuan said with a smile, holding a letter of recital, "It's all false, check them one by one, there is no evidence to confirm the matter of the five of them, it can be determined that this is the revenge of Fan Jianglin and others." ”
The chamberlain looked at him, and then at the piece in his hand.
"Are you sure?" He asked, with a bit of solemnity.
"I'm sure." Jiang Wenyuan said without hesitation.
The chamberlain nodded before he could speak, when an urgent announcement sounded outside the door.
"My lord is not good."
A soldier galloped in, stopping outside the door and shouting.
It's so bold, the faces of those present have changed, no matter what, they can't shout when the angel is present!
The general standing near the door was about to drink immediately, but he was still a step too late.
"There are many people outside the door, saying that they are survivors of the battle to defend the city in Linguan Village, and they want to come to testify to Xu Sigen Fan Jianglin's appeal!"
What the?
The people present were stunned for a moment, Jiang Wenyuan's face instantly became ugly, and the slightly dry voice of the angel sounded in his ears.
"Master Jiang, what does this mean?" (To be continued......)
