Chapter 660: The Past

Li Xun helped Ipsura, looking at her face, which was much more mature and a wife than a few years ago, Li Xun's thoughts couldn't help but be a little trance.

At that time, the first Longyou War had just ended, Li Zhong led the Jin Dynasty army to drive out the Dashiren and recaptured the land of the seven states in the west of Longyou, and Li Xun was also entrusted with a heavy task by Zhao Zhi after this battle, and at the age of his early twenties, he was fully responsible for the military power of Wuzhou.

After Li Xun arrived in Wuzhou, the first thing he faced was the murder case of Ipsura.

That case happened before Li Xun arrived in Wuzhou.

A month ago, there was a murder involving marriage.

Dashi's marriage system is somewhat different from that of the Jin Dynasty, in the Jin Dynasty, there is only one wife, and there can be many concubines, while in Dashi, the wife can have up to four people, and every wife must be treated fairly, once one of the wives feels that her husband treats her unfairly, she can go directly to the Tianlan Sect Public Council to complain, once the crime is convicted, the wife will have two choices, one is to accept the husband's apology and material compensation, and the other is to divorce directly, and the wife will be able to obtain half of the husband's property.

Of course, Dashi men who can afford to marry four wives generally have a certain status and official position, in addition, there is also a marriage system or a custom prevailing in Dashi and the countries of the Western Regions, that is, the marriage of the court, the sisters of the men on both sides are exchanged for wives.

This is where the cause of the first case came from.

The parents of Apu and Dra, half a year ago, made an agreement that three months later, Apu's sister will marry Dela, and similarly, Dela's sister Ipsolan will also marry Apu, Apu's family is not bad, Della is very poor, but his sister Ipsolan is very beautiful, Apu once promised the Dra's family, Ipsolan will marry, without any dowry, and his sister will marry with two cows and a carriage with young and strong horses, which makes the Dra's family overjoyed, for them, This is a lot of wealth, two oxen can farm the land, and the horse-drawn cart can carry goods and people for business, and these things will greatly change the living conditions of the family.

But there are unforeseen circumstances, three months ago, Dra's went out to do things, was killed by bandits, the marriage time agreed by the two parties is also up, Apu is going to pick up Ipsolan through the door, but was rejected by Dra's family, the reason is very simple, according to the agreement between the two parties, once Apu's sister marries, will bring two cows and a carriage, now that Della is dead, and Apu's sister's marriage is in vain, the ox and the carriage will naturally not be again, and Ippsulan will be taken in vain, and Dera's parents will naturally not agree.

More than a month ago, Apu went to Dera's house and broke into Ipsura's house, intending to forcibly take away his people, but was fiercely resisted by Ipsura, and the two sides fought, and finally Apu was killed by Ipsura, and the matter suddenly became bigger.

Apu's family approached Julin and sued Ipsuran for murdering his son and stealing money from two cows and a wagon.

After the trial, Zhu Lin quickly sorted out the reasons for the entire case.

Della's family had negotiated with Apu that since Dera was dead, Apu's sister didn't have to marry, but the dowry for two cows and a carriage was to be given, so the marriage would go on as usual, and Ipu would marry Apu according to the agreement, but Apu refused, Apu was looking at Della's death, and he didn't have to spend money to marry a beautiful wife, why not, the two sides had a great contradiction on this point.

Zhu Lin is in his thirties, although his personality is sleek, he is still upright as an official, and he dealt with it impartially and sentenced Della's sister not guilty.

Wu Heng instructed Zhu Lin to change the sentence to the death penalty of Ipsulan, and his family returned two cows and a carriage to Apu's family within a time limit.

Della's family is very poor, and such a verdict is to force Della's family to death!

Zhu Lin couldn't bear it, so he kept the case under pressure, and for Wu Heng's several urgings, he could delay it, which caused Wu Heng's anger and dissatisfaction, and immediately went to the Ministry of Officials and sued Zhu Lin, and the Ministry of Officials severely reprimanded him below, Zhu Lin had no choice but to write a letter to resign, and was finally transferred to another place by the Ministry of Officials.

Li Xun just came to Wu'an City that day, and Wu Heng was also here, just for this matter, Zhu Lin was transferred, and Wu Heng originally thought that this matter would be settled.

But he never thought that the new county order called Zhou Qing was far tougher than Zhu Lin, Wu Heng passed on Zhou Qing and asked him to change the sentence of this case, after Zhou Qing knew the reason from Zhu Lin, he sternly rejected Wu Heng, and immediately decided the case, Yipu Sulan was immediately acquitted, Apu forced into the house, with bad intentions, and died innocently, Apu's parents distorted the facts, falsely accused others, and were sentenced to prison service.

Zhou Qing's move, suddenly Wu Heng could not get off the stage, he immediately rushed to Wu'an City, to intervene in the case, and this case has been made several times, has been known to many people, many people came to ask the case to listen to the verdict, the county government yamen gathered around many bystanders, Wu Heng to assassinate the history, forced Zhou Qing, intended to change the sentence, the two had a fierce dispute, and the people outside after understanding the truth, immediately angry, the scene began to commotion, Wu Heng then ordered someone to summon Gan Tuyuan, led the troops to suppress the troublesome people.

It is precisely because of this case that Li Xun was able to quickly cut into the overall situation of Wuzhou, and through this case, he learned about the customs and culture of many foreigners, so Li Xun's memory of this matter is extremely deep and unforgettable.

And the Ipsuran murder case also directly caused the first official duel between Li Xun and Wu Heng, the assassin of Wuzhou.

"Why is the general looking at me like this?"

Ipu Sulan was looked at by Li Xun for a while, and was a little overwhelmed.

Li Xun came back to his senses at this time, looking at a woman like this, but it was a very rude thing, he apologized to Wang Chengzong: "I'm sorry, looking at Ipu Sulan, I can't help but think of the case I intervened in when I first arrived in Wuzhou, this is also the beginning of my entry into Wuzhou, the memory is very deep, under the remembrance, a little distracted." ”

Wang Chengzong nodded, looked at Li Xun's gaze and suddenly felt a little grateful, and arched his hand and said: "If it wasn't for the intervention of the big marshal back then, Ipu Sulan would have been murdered. ”

The murder of Ipsulan not only made Li Xun remember deeply, but also completely changed Wang Chengzong's life, he believed in Tianlan Religion, liked to read, originally had no intention of joining the army or politics, Wang Chengzong and Ipsulan grew up together, childhood sweethearts, extremely deep feelings, the two have long had a relationship, just because of the poverty of the family and the elders of the Ipsulan family are very repulsive to the Han people, so that there can be no lover to eventually become a family, after the murder of Apu, Wang Chengzong hated himself for being weak and useless, seeing his beloved suffering, but there was no way, That's why I decided to join the army, fight for a future, and fight for a guarantee for Ipsura.
