Chapter 112: Fishing for People
"Official, can't you think of a way to save that girl? She's quite pathetic, too. ”
Master Li put his arm around Zhang Heng, hoping that he could think of a way.
"I'm thinking"
Zhang Heng rubbed his chin, his mind was also spinning rapidly, he didn't want to see such a feudal tragedy happen.
At this time, Feng Yuan, the magistrate of the county, stood up and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the second sister of the Yao family and the young master of the Li family have long had a marriage contract, but now it is against women's morals, destroys the atmosphere, and has a bad impact, so they are immersed in the pig cage today to be weathered." ”
"Drown her, drown him."
The people around them also shouted and were excited.
"Let's do it!"
Feng Yuan gestured to the people on the boat.
"Stop"
Just as those people were about to throw Yao Ermei into the water, Zhang Heng stood up and shouted to stop.
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked over in unison.
Feng Yuan also glanced at him and said, "This son, what's the matter with you?" Why did you stop the execution? ”
Zhang Heng's mind was also spinning fast now, thinking about how to save that girl.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, who has not made a mistake, should the one who has made a mistake deserve to die?" Don't even have a chance to make amends? Who didn't have such a vision when he was young, he would marry a virtuous woman as his wife in the future, and the woman would marry a man she liked, husband and child, but unfortunately it often backfired, although the parents ordered the matchmaker, but do you really want to live with a person you don't like for a lifetime? ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
When Zhang Heng saw this scene, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, as long as their attitude changed, it proved that there was still a chance to convince them.
But just then, a man dressed as a squire stepped forward and said, "That being said, this is not to be encouraged, and must be continued, so that all men may remember that such acts are not permissible." ”
"Yes, that's a good point."
And then many people also chimed in.
Seeing this, Zhang Heng's face also darkened, and it seemed that reasoning with them would not work.
At this time, Feng Yuan gestured to put it on again and said, "Do it!" ”
"Wait."
Zhang Heng hurriedly shouted again.
"Be bold, and wait so presumptuously, believe it or not, I will punish you for the crime of disobeying the court officials."
Feng Yuan also reprimanded sharply.
Zhang Heng hurriedly said, "My lord, I just have a question I want to figure out. ”
Feng Yuan sat down and said, "What's the problem?" ”
Zhang Heng asked directly: "After Second Sister Yao was thrown into the water, whether she lives or dies is her life, it is up to him to decide, if she survives, does it mean that she will not be punished again." ”
"It's natural, but none of the people who have been immersed in the pig penn have survived."
Feng Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, guys, if anyone can save that girl later, I'll reward him with a hundred times."
Zhang Heng looked at the many fishing boats parked on the river, thinking that those fishermen should be very watery.
"What? A hundred? ”
When everyone heard this, they were also excited.
At this time, Zhang Heng looked at Feng Yuan and said, "My lord, there should be no problem with this!" ”
Feng Yuan stood up and said to everyone: "Fathers and fellow villagers, our Jing County has always had simple folk customs, and we will never allow such people who corrupt the people's customs to continue to live and discredit our county." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Heng's voice immediately sounded: "Two hundred guan, whoever can get her up, the reward is two hundred, and the number of people is not limited." ”
"Two hundred!"
When everyone heard this price, they couldn't calm down at all, this is an ordinary ten-year income!
"You... Do it. ”
Feng Yuan couldn't help but be angry, and immediately ordered.
Immediately afterwards, the people on the boat threw Yao Ermei into the water.
Seeing this scene, Master Li's heart couldn't help but sink, wondering if someone would save Yao Ermei.
When Yao Ermei fell into the water, the fishermen on the surrounding fishing boats immediately jumped into the water and began to catch people.
Yes~
Zhang Heng watched those fishermen doing their best to save people, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, whether they could be saved or not could only be left to fate.
At this time, the people around were also staring intently at the river, wondering if Yao Ermei would be rescued in the end.
As time passed, Zhang Heng watched those fishermen go in and out of the water, but there was still no figure of Yao Ermei, and his heart couldn't help sinking.
"Found it, found it."
At this moment, an exclamation came.
Zhang Heng looked up and saw that the fishermen had scooped up a cage, and Yao Ermei was in it, but she had already fainted.
Immediately, those fishermen hurriedly got Yao Ermei on the boat, and then moved closer to the shore.
Master Li looked at Yao Ermei's pale face, and her heart was pounding for a while.
Zhang Heng looked at the fishermen stunned aside, and hurriedly said, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and do artificial respiration!" ”
"Artificial respiration?"
When they heard this, their faces were full of doubt, and they were completely confused.
"Get out of the way, I'll come."
Immediately, Zhang Heng walked over, squatted down, and then put his hand on Yao Ermei's chest and pressed it, while blowing mouth-to-mouth at her.
When everyone saw this scene, they exploded in an instant.
"What are you doing here?"
"Let go of her, you actually took the opportunity to take advantage of her, are you still human?"
"Bastard, I have to kill you."
"Poor girl!"
In the face of the angry crowd around him, Tie Shan was also on guard around, for fear that something would go wrong.
Xiao Ya came to Master Li's side and said, "What is the young master doing?" That's not the right thing to do! ”
Master Li said calmly: "He must have his reasons for doing this." ”
Yes~
It didn't take long for Yao Ermei to wake up, panting constantly.
After seeing that she was fine, Zhang Heng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, Yao Ermei didn't understand what was going on at all, she just curled up and kept sobbing.
Zhang Heng looked at the people around him who were still gathered together, and hurriedly said, "Don't look at it, scatter it!" Each goes back to his own house, and each finds his own mother. ”
Immediately, the crowd slowly dispersed.
Master Li walked to Yao Ermei's side and comforted: "Don't cry, it's okay now." ”
At this time, Zhang Heng also opened his mouth and asked Yao Ermei, "Are your parents here?" You can go home with them. ”
"My parents are there"
Yao Ermei stretched out her hand and pointed to a couple not far away.
"Take your daughter back quickly! Take some comfort. ”
Zhang Heng walked to Yao's father and Yao's mother and admonished.
"The inferior girl did such a corrupt thing, and she didn't want to enter the door of the Yao family again."
Yao's father also shouted angrily, and then Jing walked straight away.
Seeing this, Zhang Heng also sighed, how heavy this ancient reputation was, it can be seen that it is general.
Immediately, he also sent money to those fishermen, and then took Yao Ermei back to the inn.
