A bumpy pig cage, crumbling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The river pool is unfathomable, the water is still whirlpooled, and the two people in the pig cage are chained hand and foot, and stones are placed, if they are thrown into the river pool, there is no reason to survive.

The crowd of onlookers was indignant, and the elderly man in his fifties waved his hand vigorously and shouted "sinking the lake".

Hey, hey......

The eight sturdy offspring shouted the trumpet, threw up the pig cage, and saw that they were about to be thrown into the river pool in front of them.

"Stop!"

Zhu Ping'an stood up again, how could he turn a blind eye to the cruel way of two lives disappearing in front of him in the pig cage. In order to achieve his goal, his voice was more powerful than the previous ones.

Zhu Ping'an's voice was very obvious in the crowd, interrupting the rhythm of the posterior.

The eight sturdy posteriors made a pause, turned their gaze, and the old man in his fifties looked angry and glared at Zhu Ping'an, "Again and again, again and again, what qualifications do you have as a foreigner to criticize my Majia Village, if you make trouble again, don't blame us for bullying foreigners!" ”

"Eligibility?"

"Then do you think I'm qualified?!"

Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly when he heard this, then reached out and took out the official saucer, and shook it in front of everyone, especially several old men.

Although the Ming Dynasty issued a uniform law and passed through the whole territory, the villages below would always elect a respected old man, or a village leader, according to tradition, to judge the disputes and disputes in the village. They can decide who is right and who is wrong, who should be punished, they can lynch them, and they can even control the life and death of the village.

Today's immersion in the pig cage is the death penalty in lynching.

If it is an ordinary matter, Zhu Ping'an will respect it, but it is a matter of life, and Zhu Ping'an can't turn a blind eye. Moreover, the way of immersing the pig cage is too inhumane.

There is no way, life is at stake, Zhu Ping'an has no choice but to use his power to oppress people.

After thinking about it, they may not know the official, so Zhu Ping'an took out an ebony tooth tag from his waist, which is the level identity certificate of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the basic personal information, official position, etc., there is also the seal of the Hanlin Academy.

"Huh?"

"Grass people see adults."

The elder in his fifties took a closer look at Zhu Ping'an's official card and tooth tag, and as soon as his face changed, he was about to kneel down and salute. These village elders also had the opportunity to meet the county order, and their Majia Village had also been an official, so they were no strangers to the official seal and tooth tag, and they recognized it at once.

In ancient times, the idea of the official standard was strong, and when these villagers saw the officials, they were in awe from their bones.

Seeing the old man kneeling, the villagers knelt down one after another. Especially the eight offspring, they also hurriedly put the pig cage on the shore and knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, the eyes of the two people in the pig cage glowed with despair......

How could Zhu Ping'an bear to kneel down for himself at such an old age, and quickly reached out to help several old men in front of the villagers up, especially the old man with a white beard who was helped up by Zhu Ping'an before he knelt down. As soon as the other villagers knelt down, Zhu Ping'an hurriedly asked them to stand up.

The old man in his fifties was in awe of Zhu Ping'an's official status, and did not dare to give orders to Shenhu again, but looking at the two people in the pig cage, he was heartbroken, and a depression and indignation in his heart were difficult to dissolve, and the wrinkles on his head were almost squeezed into a capital "I don't accept it". The villagers also knelt because of Zhu Ping'an's official status and had to kneel; All looked at the pig cage unwillingly, and they were completely unconvinced.

The villagers were in awe of Zhu Ping'an on their faces, but their eyes and hearts were full of depression, resentment, disobedience and deep unwelcome.

When everyone was in awe of Zhu Ping'an, there were also tall figures who also stood up. It was the old man who spoke at the beginning, with a white beard, and his originally rickety back, but now he was as upright as relaxed.

"My lord, all evil women are the leader! Killing people and setting fires is only a partial suffering, but evil people harm others and themselves, and evil thoughts will lead to all kinds of evil, and they will eventually destroy our Majia Village! This is by no means alarmist, how many lessons from the past in history! ”

"Our Majia Village has been cultivating and reading for generations, the village is upright, there are five chaste archways, and the county is also more prominent. Adults also read the Four Books and Five Classics, starvation is a small matter, and a loss of festival is a big matter, and such a thing that corrupts the village style must not be tolerated, my lord. ”

People were in awe of Zhu Ping'an and didn't dare to step forward again, but the old man with a white beard straightened his back and stood in front of Zhu Ping'an with a sad heart.

Looking at the white-bearded old man who was distressed, Zhu Ping'an squinted his eyes slightly.

"Hey, I'm afraid you don't know the inside story." The white-bearded old man sighed, looked at Zhu Ping'an and said.

Zhu Ping'an nodded, he just heard it from the cursing of the onlookers to the two people in the pig cage, but because people were emotional, it was inevitable that the truth would be exaggerated or fictionalized.

"This thing has to start from nine years ago, when our village Wang Wang's business has just started, Wang Wang's family was poor when he was a child, when he was more than ten years old, in order to help the family, he went to the town shop as an apprentice, because he was loyal and honest and self-motivated, he quickly boiled out in the store, and slowly became a steward and shopkeeper from the apprenticeship, and won the appreciation of the owner's family, and was able to open a branch. Mr. Wang never lacks a pound or two in business, operates in good faith, and would rather suffer losses than satisfy everyone, and with credibility and reputation, he soon made a fortune. Mr. Wang bought a huge family business in the village, and also built roads, bridges, and schools for the village. Hey, he's a good guy. ”

"Lord Wang saved a family nine years ago, hey, that is, the maid and their family, their family suffered that year, her father and mother were seriously ill at the same time, and it was not good to see it, it was after Lord Wang heard about it, in addition to the silver to ask the famous doctor in the city to see the disease, it cost hundreds of taels of silver. After he recovered from his illness, his father and mother took a fancy to Master Wang's worth, and said that there was no way to repay the great kindness, so they cried and made a fuss and married her to Master Wang, and asked for a bride price of one hundred taels of silver...... Hey, insatiable, after starting a family, every year they change the law to pick up money from the hands of the king, and the king is also filial, no matter what they want, they will give anything. In the past few years, their family's original thatched house has three acres of land, but now it has become a two-entry house with three hundred acres of fertile land......"

"Master Wang is also loyal and honest, thinking about his age, he feels that the maid is young and long, but he is afraid of being treated, it is all obedient, especially after the maid gave birth to a son to him, he handed over all the family property to the maid for safekeeping, and everyone said that the maid was kind and good."

"Hey, I can't imagine that such a water-based poplar woman, Master Wang is so good to her, but she hooks up with three and four, and is unethical!! Master Wang got up early in the morning and worked outside in the dark, but she hooked up with the housekeeper of Master Wang's house! Especially when Master Wang went out to do business, he was even more unscrupulous, and the two of them stayed overnight ......"

"That steward is that wolf-hearted brute!" The white-bearded old man pointed to the indignant figure in the pig cage, "This beast lost his mother since he was a child, lost his father at the age of ten, competed with pigs and dogs for food, couldn't eat and didn't have enough clothes, it was the old man who saw him pitiful, kindly took him in, took him to his side and taught him carefully, taught him to do business, taught him the ability to survive, and promoted him to be a steward, and paid for him to start a family and marry a wife......"

"But this wolf-hearted beast is not only ungrateful, eats the king's food, receives the king's money, and lives in the king's house, but this beast climbs the master's bed, and is in cahoots with the maid, not only taking advantage of the king's kung fu to do things with the maid, but also deliberately inducing the lord to go out to do business as a steward...... If these two scourges are not eliminated, my Majia Village will be humiliated, and the day will be clear, and justice will be !! ”

When the white-bearded old man said this, he looked up to the sky and was sad and angry, and almost wanted to vomit blood.

The villagers and others also sighed. (To be continued.) )
