Chapter 90 The law does not blame relatives
On the day Zhu Ergou was beheaded, the warm winter sun in Xilin Village rose brightly, illuminating everyone's eyes. A flock of geese flew by, adding to the solemn and indignant scene.
"Good death! It's really unfortunate that there is such a treacherous villain in Xilin Village! ”
"When the Zhu family is destroyed, I have to let his own son come out to apologize......"
"Yes! Apologize! Apologize......"
All of a sudden, all kinds of righteous indignation voices on the scene suddenly rose, and the head of the township raised his hand to signal quiet, and immediately someone shouted: "On the torture platform, be quiet—"
Zhu Ergou was grizzled and embarrassed, kneeling on the ground in prison clothes, his face full of fear and nervousness of a dying person.
Zhu Da was pulled by Zhu's second daughter-in-law and did not let him come forward, and both of them covered their heads and faces tightly, for fear of being recognized.
The family of the murdered girl received the letter, and they had already rushed from Hangzhou around the clock, and finally arrived in Xixiang early this morning.
"My daughter, do you see it in heaven? The wicked finally get evil retribution, and there will be justice in the world! ”
The victim's family cried so sadly, whether it was the local villagers of Xilin Village, or the people who came from Xixiang and even nearby townships to see the excitement, they were all moved and wanted to cry.
This Zhu Ergou is so ruthless and vicious, even if he does not hesitate to cut it with a thousand knives!
"Old woman, you dissipate your anger first, the wicked are about to be ambushed, you watch the child with your own eyes, and you can be regarded as comforting her in the spirit of heaven."
"Yes, yes, the old man pays attention to his body."
The victim woman is the only daughter of the boss of the family, the boss lost his beloved daughter, sold all the family property and took it to the official, but the dog official was bought by Zhu Ergou, not only did he not pay justice, but only gave them a little money, and threatened the family, if they want the children of the second and third children to live, let them all be conscious and obedient.
thought that there was no way out in the world, and the family fled to the countryside to escape the world, but unexpectedly, there was news in the city that the dog official had been banned, and the law had been subdued, and the rich businessman had been arrested......
It is really a joy to see the enemy being beaten by justice!
Lin Aqi and Yun Qi stood in the crowd, and saw from a distance that the lonely old and young family had gone to the execution platform and sat beside the adults and officials to watch the execution.
Both of them couldn't help but express relief.
"You've got a good arrangement." Lin Archie gave him a thumbs up.
"Your idea is also very good." Yunqi smiled back.
Township Chief Quan looked for the white-clothed figure among the crowd, and after looking for a large circle, he saw the white-clothed man at the end of the crowd and the lively woman beside him.
Township Chief Quan shook his head secretly, it was the arrangement made by Prince Ming personally that made things progress so quickly and properly. If he really wants to let him do it as a district and township head, it is too complicated and involves a wide range of people.
Not to mention that the officials in Hangzhou can be investigated by him as a small official, just to investigate the second master of the Zhu family, it will exhaust manpower and material resources on him. It's still the identity of the prince.
Township Chief Quan nodded slightly and threw out the token: "Execution." ”
The drum sounded loudly, and the executioner spewed out a large mouthful of turbid wine from his mouth, and the wine beads on the big knife rolled down, making a loud ticking sound, and more than half of the drops were sprinkled on Zhu Ergou's face and neck, flowing down his body into the prison clothes, which was particularly cool in the cold winter.
Zhu Ergou's face turned pale with fright, and he shouted to spare his life. The victim's family was sitting on their knees, not squinting, staring at Zhu Ergou, who was kneeling on the ground in front of them.
Lin Archie hurriedly closed his eyes and tugged at Yunqi's sleeves: "Okay, call me, I won't watch it." ”
Yun Qi smiled: "Are you still afraid of seeing the beheading?" ”
"I didn't let me see it from my childhood to my master, master and master, and the master told me not to come, he watched it with relish, and when it was over, let's slip away first, but I can't let him find out."
"If you don't look at it, it's too late to go back now."
"No, no, no!" Lin Archie glared, "Then how can it be the same?" I am here to show my heart, as long as the wicked are subdued, I will prove that I am on the side of justice, and it is not the case that I escaped from the battle. ”
Yun nodded his head: "You can close your eyes." ”
As soon as the words fell, the crowd erupted in screams, followed by earth-shattering applause and applause, and it was impossible to distinguish which ones were excited and which ones were crying with joy.
It has been a long time since there has been a major incident of crime and beheading in Xixiang, and today's incident is enough to make the people's mouths have a good year this year.
Lin Archie looked blankly in the direction of Yunqi: "It's over?" ”
The words he said were so translated that he couldn't even hear them clearly.
Yunqi walked around behind her, and gently brushed her eyes with one hand: "If you don't want to see it, don't look at it." ”
The girl suddenly took his hand like a clue, and insisted on looking at the torture table, but only her body fell to the ground, her head fell to the ground, and the blood sprayed mottled.
On the contrary, the family members of the woman on the torture table wept and laughed, in stark contrast to the lonely executioner.
"That's good." Lin Aqi muttered, "No matter how well the book is written, it will not be as enjoyable as it is today." It's like a rain in summer and a warm shade in winter. The blood all over his body was alive again. ”
Yunqi listened to her vivid metaphor, his eyes shimmered, as if he was emotional and aftertaste: "It's been a long time since I've been so happy today." ”
The last time he slaughtered the wicked with his own hands was a few years ago.
"What is there to fear about the bloody river? The soul of Wanli Xiong sits alone in the formation. Millions of British troops are fighting in battle, and they will never die and fight forever. Yun Qi clenched his fingers into fists, and a surge of meaning appeared in his brown eyes.
"Have you ever been on the battlefield? This poetry is profound, and the words are full of arrogance, not like your usual style. ”
"I didn't write this poem." He lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the emotions that were not easily captured.
"Who's that?"
"It's just an old man."
A name surged in Lin Aqi's heart, and he quickly shook his head and dispersed.
"No matter who they are, those who can have great ambitions to win glory for the country are heroes."
"Yes, the soldiers died in a hundred battles, why are you afraid of the horse leather shroud?" The corners of Yun Qi's mouth hooked, if only everyone could think like this.
The excitement in front has been carried out to the end, and many people who have thrown rotten vegetable leaves have finally begun to act, throwing and smashing them to make it lively.
Zhu Dase shrank beside his mother, for fear of being recognized.
"Mother, let's go back quickly."
Zhu's second daughter-in-law couldn't bear it, wiped her tears before saying to her son: "Let's collect your father's body first." ”
"But didn't the government say that the corpses would not be collected? And ......," he seemed to be unbearable, and hesitated before speaking, "Your Excellency has agreed to be handled by the woman's family." ”
Zhu's second daughter-in-law wiped her tears: "What? You, why didn't you say it earlier? ”
"What's the use of talking about it earlier?" Zhu Da jumped to his feet, "Can you leave a whole corpse for your father earlier?" ”
No.
Zhu's second daughter-in-law held on to the last glimmer of hope, only to see that on the torture platform, the two officials quickly carried the stretcher, packed up the head and body and carried it down, and it was unknown where it would be carried away.
Zhu's second daughter-in-law covered her heart and cried, and soon someone recognized her as her, and many people scolded them for their wolf hearts, and the unfinished rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs in their hands were also thrown here one by one.
Zhu Da hid in his mother's arms, was hit in the back by a rotten egg, and screamed for his mother to save him.
Some people in Xilin Village couldn't stand it, so they surrounded them and stopped them: "The prisoner has been punished, and his family and children don't know about it after all, so don't be implicated." ”
"They're all a family, and they don't know what they've done?"
"This is a bit too much, although Zhu Da often does stupid things, but everyone in Xilin Village knows that Zhu's second daughter-in-law is filial and capable, diligent and thrifty, and has always served her mother-in-law wholeheartedly, how can they be so malicious?"
Lin Archie muttered dissatisfied, and Yun Qi took a step ahead of her: "Then let's go and solve the siege." ”
"Good!"
said that the siege was really lifted, and when Yunqi stepped forward, the head of the township would naturally not turn a blind eye when he saw it. Immediately got off the execution table and walked into the crowd.
"Who's making trouble here?" Kwon Gu's voice was mellow and low, and the onlookers naturally made a way for him to pass first.
Some people shouted, "My lord! They are the wives and children of Zhu Ergou, and the adults should punish them severely! ”
When the victims' families heard this, they also rushed forward to find out.
They were old and young, but they were neither sad nor angry at the moment, and looked at them calmly.
Zhu Da hugged his mother and cried: "I didn't do anything! My mother and I are both innocent! I don't know anything wow-"
Zhu's second daughter-in-law was just trembling and crying, and in the face of so many people, she didn't know what else to do except cry.
"The crime is not as good as his family, everything is done by Zhu Ergou, why do you want to make a fuss about his family?"
The person who opened his mouth had a remarkable temperament, dressed in a white robe, which was incompatible with the simple people around him. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was neither humble nor arrogant, which made people can't help but look up to him.
"Zhu Ergou has received the due price under the witness of everyone, and more than half of his family property has also been punished to the victim's family, and since then he has also been named from the Zhu family tree, and he is not allowed to be buried in the Zhu family cemetery after death, how can he be considered the Zhu family? This little brother's words are more harsh. ”
Is that so?
The victim's family looked at each other, listening to him say this, it seemed to make some sense, Zhu Ergou had already gotten what he deserved, and his wife and children didn't know it, so why bother suffering for Zhu Ergou?
Quan Gu nodded after hearing this, King Ming's words are to protect Zhu Ergou's remaining wives and children.
"The villagers are calm and calm first, instead of being so angry, it is better to listen to the thoughts of the parties."
This statement is reasonable, and everyone agrees.
"Then let Second Sister-in-law Zhu say it."
"No, Zhu Da is Zhu Ergou's son, he should be the one."
Zhu Da hugged his mother in horror, he hadn't eaten much in the past few days, he had lost ten pounds alive, and a fat boy's cheeks were thin in vain, which was quite unbearable.
"No, you should listen to what this uncle has to say." Township Chief Quan turned to face the victim's father, and said in a sincere voice, "When the uncle lost his beloved daughter, he also hoped that the sinner would be punished, and he did not say that he would be killed by his family. ”
The uncle was as thin as a piece of firewood, and his eyes were sunken, as if he had never slept well in his life.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I don't blame his family. ”
At this point, the people were in an uproar, and there were really people who did not blame the relatives of the criminals!
