Chapter 470: Bitter Man's Son
For Xiao Jing, who is often called "Engong", such a scene has long been strange.
Over the years, the Mirror has done a lot of things to repair bridges and roads, and help the poor, so he has a reputation as a "good person" in many places, and the word "Engong" appears in front of him three or four times a month on average.
What is the reason for this time?
Xiao Jing hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to help Peng San up, but Peng San refused to accept his support and resolutely kowtowed a few times, and in the end, blood marks appeared on his forehead.
"Engong must not know who the villain is, but many people in Hedong know your name." Peng San, who lowered his eyebrows and looked obedient, said respectfully: "It is a blessing for three lives to be able to see it today." Peng Mou just collided with you, although it was an unintentional mistake, but it was still a heinous crime...... I implore Engong to fall, no matter if you want to kill or chop, the villain has no words! ”
Xiao Jing smiled and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, Brother Peng must not be like this." Speaking of which, I don't know how I became your father-in-law. ”
Peng San replied gratefully: "Although it has been a long time since the incident, there are countless people living in your actions back then, and there are still many places in Hedong where there are your ancestral halls." Do you remember writing for the victims? ”
Xiao Jing said: "Naturally, I remember." ”
Peng San said with emotion: "During the drought, Peng was also a hungry victim. I have traveled a lot of places back and forth, but I don't treat us as human beings everywhere, and I almost starved to death several times, and I was ridiculed and bullied in every way...... Later, when the villain was about to faint from hunger, he caught up with a kind man who gave him a bite to eat, and the man also asked the villain to go to his house as a servant, so that he could have a place to live.
Afterwards, the little man realized that someone had spoken to us victims, and even my master was inspired to take in a few poor people. It didn't take long for the Mirror to become famous all over the world, and some fellow villagers inquired many times, and finally confirmed that this good man was you...... That's why the little ones know that you are our benefactor. I am fortunate to meet you today, and it is really a wish. ”
So saying, he confessed his guilt, turned and walked among the robbers, as if to say something; After a short time, a large number of people fell there, and it is not difficult to see from this performance of gratitude to Dade that they should have been disaster victims a few years ago, and they could be regarded as having received Xiao Jing's favor.
When Peng San returned to the front, Xiao Jing said thoughtfully: "Xiao believes that no one with good intentions will watch the victims starve to death...... Those things are just a gesture, and I don't dare to take credit for it, so Brother Peng doesn't need to mention it anymore. In addition, Xiao has something to ask: Brother Peng just said that he had found someone who was willing to take you in, so why did he come to the grass again and become the leader of the bandits now? ”
"Engong asked, and the villain didn't dare to hide anything." Peng San's face was full of bitterness, and he lowered his head and said, "The villain has been there for two years. Originally, everything was fine, and the master's family also appreciated Peng, but one day an official suddenly came to the door to arrest someone, saying that the master had committed a crime and took away all the old and young of the family, and even the servants were locked up, saying that they wanted to pass the court.
At that time, the villain saw that the situation was not good, so he found a place to hide, but he never went too far from home, just to inquire about the news and wait for the master to come back. Only three days later, I heard that he had been convicted of being a bandit, and then committed suicide in prison...... Not only that, but the water in the prison was inexplicably gone, and his family was burned to death! Afterwards, all the servants in the family were also exiled, and all of them were missing!
God is pitiful, although he is not a well-known good person, but he has never done evil things in the land of bullying men and women, how can such a person have the courage to collude with bandits? The villain knew that something was wrong and fled here alone, and later gathered a lot of poor people, one was forced to find a living, and the other was to secretly investigate the master's broken family, once he found out what was behind the scenes, he had to find out how to avenge the master's family, but this hateful matter. ”
The hatred that rushed to the sky made Peng San's face look a little hideous. Xiao Jing looked at him carefully for a while, and finally nodded vigorously.
This person looks a little vulgar, but he is affectionate and righteous, maybe he can use it!
After a moment of silence, Xiao Jing sighed: "Xiao knows your difficulties. You and others are ordinary people, but in order to survive in the displacement, they have to gather in the mountains and forests and do some things to block the road and rob the road...... But the law of the country is not merciful, let me ask you have robbed a lot of people of money and food? Have you ever injured someone else's life while doing it? ”
Peng San's face turned gloomy when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Engong, Peng doesn't want to lie to you, we have indeed robbed some food and property, but the villain has tried his best to restrain his subordinates, try not to hurt people, and leave a way for others to live...... However, two months ago, a group of people resisted fiercely, and in the chaos at that time, the villain lost his hand and injured a person, and this matter cannot be argued with any means. One person does things and one person is responsible, you just have to punish Peng, and the other brothers also ask you to be light, the villain hereby thanks you for your great kindness! ”
As he spoke, he knelt down again and kowtowed.
"Divide some people to send these bandits to Quanxi County and hand them over to Lord Wan." Xiao Jing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "When the time comes, tell him that these bandits are actually poor people who have no livelihood, Xiao begs his old parents to be merciful." Unless it is found out who has a murder case in their hands, it is best to place them in Quanxi County afterwards and give them a place to settle down, so that Xiao will accept his affection...... I believe that he will give the Xia family a few thin noodles. ”
Peng San couldn't help but cry with joy. His mouth spoke words of gratitude, but he was already incoherent; Xiao Jing pulled him up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Peng, don't be happy first, your sin is not light, Xiao can only give you a chance to atone for your sins." To tell you the truth, I intend to investigate this mess in Hedong, so I need the help of the locals; However, this errand is very dangerous, I don't know ...... you."
Before he finished speaking, Peng San said loudly: "The villain's life was originally given by Engong, as long as you give an order, whether it is the sword mountain or the sea of fire, we will break through!" Hey, if I can help you find out some shady things and find out some wicked people, then it's even more unbelievable, and some dangers are nothing! ”
His statement was very passionate, and Xiao Jing, who was greatly relieved, gave a few words to the guards and ordered someone to take him down.
Although some of the Xia family's guards were experienced sentinels, there were not many Hedong people among them; Even if there were, most of these people have been away from their homeland for many years and are completely unfamiliar with the terroir of their hometown, and it is very easy to show flaws in such a complex environment.
With Peng San, such a problem will be solved!
