Chapter 108: Sympathy
Let's just say how the name is so familiar!
was mainly carried by Xu Fu, who was looking for an elixir for Qin Shi Huang, and his mind couldn't jump out of it.
Before Xu Shu changed his name, he had always been called Xu Fu, and when he was young, he killed people on the street because he avenged his friends, and he had the style of an ancient chivalrous man.
After Xu Shu was caught by the government, he was robbed by his accomplices on the street, and he was extremely bold.
It was at that time that Xu Shu began to abandon martial arts and follow literature, and began his academic career, laying a solid foundation for his future status as a strategist.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw a person in an official uniform walk in from the back hall and sit directly at the top.
I think it is the so-called "Xiao Chen County Order" in the mouth of the people of Zhongmu.
Liu Xie looked at it, and saw that the title of this Xiao Chen County Commander was also quite appropriate to himself, and he looked like he had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he only looked like he was in the year of the weak crown.
This made Liu Xie couldn't help but be surprised, after all, to be able to achieve the position of county commander at this age, if it wasn't for some strong family background, then it must have a strong personal ability.
However, judging from the reactions of the people of Zhongmu along the way, this Xiao Chen County Order is more like the latter.
When Xu Shu saw the true face of the county order, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, obviously he didn't expect this county order to be so young.
"Xu Fu, I finally caught you." At this time, as soon as Xiao Chen County Commander sat down, he said to Xu Shu who was under his head.
"I'm afraid the county magistrate has recognized the wrong person, his name is Xu Shu, not Xu Fu, and he doesn't know what the so-called Xu Fu is." Hearing what Xiao Chen County Decree said, Xu Shu, who was at the head of the city, responded fearlessly.
"Xu Fu, oh, the official will do what you want, Xu Shu, you are a smart person, you know that if the official is not completely sure, he will not arrest you, how about it? Do you want to take a look? Xiao Chen's county order pointed to the case book in his hand as he spoke.
"Hahaha... I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, you are also a wonderful person! Hearing what Xiao Chen County Decree said, Xu Shu suddenly laughed, obviously acquiescing.
"Xu Shu, this official also admires your courage! After being robbed three years ago, he dared to come out and show his face!
If you had been looking for a deep mountain and would have died of old age, you wouldn't be like you are now. ”
Seeing Xu Shu's fearless appearance, a hint of appreciation flashed on Xiao Chen's face.
"If it's what the adults say, it's not me Xu Shu." Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xu Shu said disdainfully.
"Hahaha, good, dare to act! It's a man! Seeing Xu Shu's proud appearance, Xiao Chen County Ling said with a smile.
"Hmph, if you dare to do it, what kind of hero is it? That's not what a big husband did! Xu Shu looked like "Lao Tzu did it, what should you do", obviously having sufficient psychological preparation for what was coming.
"Good! Although the official respects you as a hero, the state has national laws and family rules, and the official will not favor you in this matter.
According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the murderer should be compensated with his life, but the thought that you are avenging your friend, occupies a righteous word, and the family of the deceased said that they can exchange money for your sentence.
Now I ask you, would you like to compensate the family of the deceased with a sum of money to make up for your capital crime? Xiao Chen's county order clarified the matter to Xu Shu.
"Hahaha..."
Hearing what Xiao Chen County Commander said, Xu Shu laughed out loud, laughing extremely crazy, as if he was crazy.
"Smack!"
I only heard a loud noise, and then Xiao Chen County Ling said with a little anger in his words: "Xu Shu! This official respects you as a hero, but this is a public court, and you can't be so presumptuous! ”
Xu Shu laughed and stopped, and said to Xiao Chen County: "I have understood the intention of the adult, but the person I killed that day was to avenge his friend, and he deserved to die."
If I give him a gold in exchange for my own life, what is the morality? Haven't I become a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death? ”
"So, you're going to die?" Hearing Xu Shu's words, a trace of regret flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes.
"Die for righteousness, my life is worthwhile!" Xu Shu said firmly again.
"Okay, then the official will fulfill you!" As he spoke, Xiao Chen's county order was about to give an order to the officials below.
"Your Excellency." Just as Xiao Chen's county order was about to give an order, Xu Shu's voice sounded again.
"What? Do you regret it? Looking at Xu Shu, a hint of disappointment flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes.
"No, no! I just want to ask about the name of the adult, if it weren't for the current situation, I am afraid you and I can drink a few glasses. Xu Shu waved his hand and said sincerely.
Perhaps moved by Xu Shu, Xiao Chen County ordered: "This official also feels like this, and this official promises you that before your execution, this official will bring wine and have a drink with you."
As for the official's name and surname, it is not difficult to ask, this can only be blamed for the fact that you have treated too little in Zhongmu, and the people in Zhongmu know it.
Today, the official will personally tell you that the official's surname is Chen Minggong, and the table is also a public platform! ”
Hearing what Chen Gong said, Xu Shu didn't have any special reaction, after all, the name Chen Gong was too ordinary.
But for Liu Xie, who was watching outside, there was a surprise that could not be concealed.
Chen Gong, it's Chen Gong!
That's right, why didn't I expect that Zhongmu County, Xiao Chen County Order, plus the original knowledge, could easily deduce the identity of Chen Gong.
It may have been because he had been speculating about Xu Shu's identity, but he ignored Xiao Chen's county order, who else could Xiao Chen's county order have besides Chen Gong!?
What's going on? It's like falling asleep, and someone hands me a pillow.
There are countless generals around him, but there is a lack of literati and strategists, and if they don't come, they will come, and there will be two as soon as they come! Isn't this a gift from heaven?
Thinking of this, Liu Xie secretly rejoiced in his heart, as if Chen Gong and Xu Shu had already been taken under his account.
Liu Xie was already secretly planning in his heart at this time, thinking about how he should subdue the two.
"It turned out to be Brother Gongtai, that's good, according to Brother Gongtai's words, remember to bring some good wine when you come to see me off!" At this time, Xu Shu's voice sounded again, as if he was not saying that he was going to be executed, but that he was getting together with old friends.
"Good!" A look of affirmation flashed in Chen Gong's eyes, and then he said: "The prisoner Xu Shu, formerly known as Xu Fu, avenged his friend and killed someone in the street three years ago...... According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the death penalty should be imposed! ”
Xu Shu, as a party to the case, watched Chen Gong say his verdict with a smile from beginning to end, as if he was not talking about himself but someone else, and he was extremely calm.
"It's a hero!" At this time, even Chen Zhi and the others beside Liu Xie looked at Xu Shu with admiration and appreciation.
