Chapter 214: It's a hundred
The atmosphere in Qinghe Town today is somewhat heavy and sad.
Because of Niu Xiaosi's death yesterday, a funeral is being held in the town today.
All the funeral rites of the Qin Dynasty inherited the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and especially revered the ghosts and gods, believed that the soul of the soul after the death of the ghost, if the funeral ceremony is not right, the soul of the dead will be restless, so the funeral process is very complicated, please witch Bu, choose the yin house, divination burial omen, for the peace of the deceased's house, the deceased can enter the earth for peace, to ask Wu Zhu to choose the burial place, the time and direction of the burial, but also ask the witch to carry out a series of ceremonies.
Of course, these things have little to do with Chen Xu, naturally there are arrangements for the three elders in the town, and the laws of Daqin also have special regulations, and the entire funeral has rules to follow, just follow it step by step.
However, Niu Xiaosi was killed, and the incident was hasty, and Niu Xiaosi was only fourteen years old, not reaching the age of naturalization, so the funeral was also greatly simplified, according to the funeral of the young child's death, so when Chen Xu and Yu Wuya accompanied Fang Kuan and others back to Qinghe Town, Niu Xiaosi had already been put into a thin coffin built by last night, and was buried at the foot of the hill not far from the pottery workshop.
In the morning, when the funeral was over, Chen Xu caught up with the tail of the funeral, followed to take a look, comforted Niu Xiaosi's parents a few words, and then came to the health center with Fang Kuan with a black face.
At the gate of the health center, Wang Qi stood at the door with a big sword, motionless like a statue, and the four hunters in the town were also guarding with bows and arrows, and Liu Po was also there, but he looked very bad.
"Qinghe Town, Liu Po has seen the county lieutenant!" When Liu Po saw Fang Kuan, he hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted.
"No, take me to see the murderer?" Although Fang Kuan was very reluctant to get involved in this matter, this was his business, and he had to come, so his face was ugly.
A few people walked into the inpatient department at the back of the health center, Meng Yun with a blue nose and swollen face and Ma Teng, who was like a pig's head, were sitting in the courtyard, their clothes were broken and their hair was unkempt, if they hadn't known each other for a long time, Chen Xu would never have recognized one of them as Ma Teng, the appearance was too miserable, a little miserable, as for Meng Yun, a handsome face like a woman was also blue and purple, and his head was wrapped in a thick bandage, obviously Chen Xu's power of the stone at that time was still not small, fortunately he didn't hit the door, otherwise it would have been completely broken.
"Fun? The mud still you......" Ma Teng saw Chen Xu, and jumped up very emotionally and pointed at Chen Xu, his mouth was swollen, and his speech was seriously leaking.
"What did he say?" Chen Xu turned his head and asked Yu Wuya.
Yu Wuya shook his head.
"What he said was: Chen Xu, you still dare to come!" A woman's voice sounded behind her, and it turned out to be Jiang Chuyue, who had been following silently all this time.
"Why don't I dare to come, this is Qinghe Town, every brick and tile is Lao Tzu's territory!" Chen Xu understood, walked up to Ma Teng with a playful smile on his face, and then ...... Reached out and patted it at the highest swollen spot on Ma Teng's face.
"Huh~" Ma Teng let out an extremely miserable scream, covered his face and took several steps back, staring at Chen Xu in horror, he definitely didn't expect Chen Xu to be so shameless, and he would pinch his most painful place so suddenly.
"Haha, isn't it sour!" Chen Xu laughed happily, "Last time in Wancheng was your territory, your subordinates chased me for a few streets, and I recognized it, but this time my territory was beaten by my subordinates like this, you and I are even, you look good!" ”
Jiang Chuyue stood behind, listening to Chen Xu's words, her little face was slightly red for no reason, and then her hand inadvertently pressed on the hilt of the sword, last time it was this guy who slapped her ass a few times, and also said that it was flattened, that experience, it was the first time she was humiliated by a man when she grew so big, and when she thought about it, there was a sense of anger that had nowhere to vent, and she couldn't wait to split this guy into seven or eight petals.
"Chen Xu has seen Meng Gongzi in Qinghe Town!" Chen Xu bowed to Meng Yun.
"Humph!" Meng Yun stood up, probably involving the sore spot on his body, and couldn't help but grin his teeth and let out a cold snort, and then looked directly at Chen Xu with a pair of black panda eyes that had been beaten.
"Hehe, why should Meng Gongzi be like this, the so-called don't fight and don't know each other, Meng Wu and General Meng Tian are both generals with great achievements in my Great Qin, Chen Xu admires and respects, this time Meng Gongzi came to my Qinghe Town, but he didn't show his identity in advance, so there was this misunderstanding, in fact, Xu knew in his heart that you were instigated and deceived by others, so there would be a misunderstanding, right!" After Chen Xu finished speaking, he glanced at Ma Teng who was standing next to him.
"Fun? Hiss ~ mud plastering some dog Ben Ying! Ma Teng was furious, but as soon as he spoke, his face twisted into a twist in pain.
"What did he say?" Chen Xu turned his head directly to look at Jiang Chuyue this time, and he found that this little girl was still somewhat useful, not useless.
"Chen Xu, don't spew blood!" Jiang Chuyue said angrily.
"Hehe, you know in your heart whether I have blood spewing people, and Meng Gongzi also knows in your heart, no matter what, the misunderstanding has been brewed, in order to get the method of making paper, you killed the villagers of Qinghe Town for no reason, and there is no possibility of getting out of it for nothing, Ma Teng, you should know my habits, if this matter is not handled to my satisfaction, the consequences will be very serious, you can think about Liang Wen's fate, and you can also think about Zhao Zhe's fate!" Chen Xu sneered a few times, and as he spoke, his face became more and more gloomy, and his tone became more and more gloomy.
Ma Teng couldn't help but shudder, took a step back in horror, and spoke much clearer this time: "Chen Xu, you ...... Don't mess around, I didn't participate in the last time, this time I just accompanied Meng Gongzi to Qinghe Town to find a disciple of the Immortal Family, and I was just curious to break into that workshop......"
"Fart, it's a lot more fun in the town, that place is the most remote, you can only coax a three-year-old child with what you say, believe it or not, this time I will press the killing of the workshop helper on you, and the county lieutenant will help make a real case!" Chen Xu directly threatened Ma Teng in front of a group of people.
"Hmph, Chen Xu, are you doing this too much to ignore my existence and ignore the laws of Great Qin!" Meng Yun couldn't help but speak.
Chen Xu turned his head to look at Meng Yun: "Meng Gongzi, I already know your intentions, I can agree to this matter, but there is only one condition, if you agree, we can laugh at the enmity and hatred, and turn the war into a jade silk, if you don't want to, then you can't complain about my ruthlessness, everyone is dead, Chen Xu, as a pawn in Qinghe Town, will definitely be the master of the three thousand villagers in Qinghe Town, at most, in the next few days, Qinghe Town will hold a few more funerals!" ”
Chen Xu's threat was naked and undisguised, but Meng Yun, who had a blue nose and swollen face, was a little throbbing, and his eyes looked at Chen Xu with some inexplicable changes.
After being silent for half a minute, Meng Yun asked, "What conditions?" ”
"You have to testify for me, it was he who ......," Chen Xu pointed at Ma Teng, "It was Niu Xiaosi, the helper he killed!" ”
"Huh?" Ma Teng's face turned pale in an instant, and he knelt on the ground with a pop, "Meng Yun, you and I have known each other since childhood, and we have played together since we were young, you ...... Don't listen to Chen Xu's nonsense, he ...... He's a communiqué for personal vendettas......"
"Are you serious?" Meng Yun looked at Chen Xu.
"Yes, it's more true than pearls! The art of papermaking is my painstaking research, and you also know the powerful relationship, but Ma Teng hurt me three times and twice, I only have this request, if you agree, the method of papermaking will come to you immediately, how about this deal? Chen Xu simply picked out the topic this time, and looked at Meng Yun with anticipation.
Meng Yun lowered his head and pondered for a long time, turned his head to look at the terrified Ma Teng, looked at Chen Xu again, and finally shook his head silently: "I can't do anything about this matter, the murderer is my servant, as long as you hand over the method of making paper, that servant will be handed over to you to dispose of at will, I can no longer pursue the matter of you beating me, otherwise, you know the consequences!" ”
"Since you don't want to agree, then forget it, Wuya, drag Ma Teng out first and chop it up and feed the dogs! At that time, there will be hundreds of villagers in Qinghe Town, and I will testify that he was beaten to death with a stick after resisting after committing the murder. ”
Chen Xu...... Chen Xu spared his life~" Ma Teng, who was dragged out by Yu Wuya, shouted in fright, struggling desperately but to no avail, and was soon dragged to the gate of the courtyard.
"Chen Xu, you...... You really have to do it! Meng Yun felt an endless chill come out of his heart.
"Hehe, a manly man, act informally, Ma Teng has a bad record in Nanyang, I killed him to eliminate harm in Nanyang!" Chen Xu said with a faint smile.
"Ah~" There was an abrupt scream from outside the courtyard, and then the entire courtyard was trembling, and the scene became extremely quiet, not only Meng Yun's face was pale, but even Fang Kuan's facial features were completely distorted and deformed.
Everyone never expected that since Chen Xu dared to really kill the nephew of the county guard, Ma Teng, and without the slightest drag, he would kill him if he said he would kill it, and he would kill it so blatantly.
"Meng Gongzi, your first chip has been given up by you, so let's talk about the second method?" Chen Xu said with a calm face.
"You...... You...... It's too much! Meng Yun's previous calmness and momentum were gone, and his tongue was a little knotted when he spoke.
"Hehe, what is this excessive, you went to my Qinghe Town but did not report your home, and blatantly broke into the forbidden land of my workshop to kill the helpers, my Daqin established the country by law, even if you are the son of the imperial historian, do you dare to look at the law of the king, the law of Daqin, should be the law of all people, it is the law of all people, when all people are treated equally, this is the reason of the law, the prince ......violates the law, well, the prince will be the same except, you do not respect the law of Daqin, although Chen Xu is just a small lidian, it is not that justice cannot be served, Since you are waiting for the princes and princes to be lawless, why should I talk to you about the law, let you go back to seek revenge on the other day, or kill him with a knife today and never suffer in the future, can the imperial historian still cover the sky with one hand, and slaughter more than 3,000 mouths in my Qinghe Town in the future? ”
Chen Xuyi finished speaking at length, and then stretched out his hand to Liu Po and said: "You Jiao and I have a big sword, since we can't be good, then it's just a hundred." ”
