When Zhu Tingfang grabbed Xu Cheng's collar and dragged people directly to the gate of the county government, several students who were recommended by Xu Weng to come over were all dumbfounded. Cao Wu, who personally led a few disciples and grandchildren to maintain order, was as cold as a cicada, gesturing and ordering those on his side not to be silent. Not only them, but also the people who were making a loud noise just now also fell silent all of a sudden.

In this silent environment, many people timidly glanced at the scar on Zhu Tingfang's face, and even the people who were pushing and shoving behind wanted to get closer stopped unconsciously. Although Zhu Tingfang said that he had not been in Cangzhou for a long time, just looking at the few things he did, every one of them was murderous, so that his name could already stop children crying at night.

Seeing Zhu Tingfang's ferocity, Zhang Shou who came out with him couldn't help but be amazed. He actually didn't want to come out, but Ge Yong glared at him fiercely, clearly meaning to look at your eldest brother, so he had to follow and watch a little, so as not to let the future eldest brother connive at the people and tear Xu Cheng alive...... Although this is an exaggeration, he believes that Zhu Tingfang will do it.

Sure enough, the next moment, he only heard Zhu Tingfang speak: "Xu Cheng's charges have just been announced, and those are all these days ago, the bitter lord went to the county government to submit complaints one by one, maybe some people are afraid of his former obscenity and dare not come, but at the moment, it is already outrageous." However, just now he said in court that the prison of scholars is not the same as that of civilian prisons. ”

Before the crowd erupted again, he said with a grim expression: "I also agree with this." I came out of the Guozijian Frank Hall, the first in all disciplines, of course I know that there are clouds in the etiquette record, and the punishment is not a doctor, and the etiquette is not a concubine, but Xu Cheng, you ask yourself, are you still a scholar? ”

Zhang Shou saw Zhu Tingfang say a pause, and then someone boldly shouted that it didn't count, until Zhu Tingfang glanced over, then hurriedly shut up, he picked up Zhu Tingfang's words: "The punishment is not a doctor, it means that the scholar doctor is full of poetry and books, and he should know the law and understand the law, abide by the law and protect the law, if he really breaks the law, then I am sorry to read the sage book for many years, I am sorry for my fame, and I am sorry for my family." ”

He ignored Xu Cheng's angry gaze, and said slowly: "So, since you are a noble scholar, you should have self-knowledge after breaking the law......"

He raised his voice abruptly, and shouted fiercely: "You should know guilt, you should know repentance, why not cry out for injustice when the evidence is conclusive, full of disbelief?" If you don't even have the courage to take responsibility, you are also worthy of being a doctor? You don't even have the courage to face the people, and you are worthy of being a doctor? A bereaved dog who can only cry for survival, you are also worthy of being a doctor? ”

Xu Cheng's nerves were already tense to the extreme, under Zhang Shou's series of questions, he wanted to refute several times but failed to seize the opportunity, and when Zhang Shou finally finished speaking, his eyes were round, and his throat seemed to be pressed with something heavy, and he couldn't say a word anymore. However, he couldn't speak, so Zhang Shou asked again.

"So, who is the scholar?"

"It's not those pedantic people who can only recite the books of sages every day and claim to be erudite, but those masters who are full of poetry and books, but are willing to bring the light of learning to poor students, are famous teachers like Xu Weng who heard the Taoist school."

"It's not those who talk about the affairs of scholars and doctors when they talk about water control, disaster relief, quelling bandits, and appeasing the people; It is a down-to-earth step-by-step in the local area, so that the state and county are governed, and the road is not left behind; It is those doers who are born and die, and those who are brave and brave, and those who risk their lives and save the sky! ”

"Those who stick to their own path wholeheartedly and are not afraid of the words of men; It is those who can honestly say that they have no fear or regrets and have done practical things even if they are said to be traitors; It is those who turn back, change their minds, and change their ways; It is also those who have made great achievements in the first half of their lives, and they are not guaranteed to be in their old days, but they are ashamed and indignant after waking up, and they have left a book and a clear ambition on the night of repentance. ”

After saying this lot, Zhang Shou looked at Xu Cheng who was like ashes and said: "The so-called scholar doctor should at least be ashamed and brave!" The so-called scholar is not the only one who is insatiable, brazen, and self-aware like you! ”

Zhu Tingfang finally couldn't help laughing, and then let go of his hand casually, letting Xu Cheng fall to the ground. Although he was born in a noble family, he has always been a leader in literature and martial arts since elementary school, and how many self-proclaimed talented guys have been defeated in front of him, even if it is those bosses in the court, he completely despises those who are vegetarian, Zhang Shou's words can be said to speak to his heart.

Recalling Zhang Shou's words that were extremely appetizing to him just now, he pulled out the long sword in his waist and threw it directly at Xu Cheng. Seeing that the person was in a state of great danger in an instant, and he actually escaped several steps with his hands and feet, he said lightly: "The original meaning is that if a scholar with a high status violates the law, he should not be humiliated by the punishment, but should be punished by himself." ”

"If you really think you are a scholar, you should apologize for your guilt in the face of the scene that this thousand people are referring to!"

was first beaten by Zhang Shou's repeated words wave after wave, and then someone threw a sword in front of him, and then heard a straightforward self-determination, Xu Cheng was like a boat struggling to survive in the huge waves, and suddenly encountered a wave of huge waves that were about to capsize the boat!

He trembled and tried to reach out his hand, but when he touched the hilt of the sword, he only felt that the hilt was hot, and suddenly withdrew his hand again. But at this moment, he heard a shout from the crowd: "Dog officer, self-judge!" ”

This sound suddenly aroused the emotions in the crowd that had just been depressed because of the words of Zhang Shou and Zhu Tingfang, and in an instant, the sound of shouting and self-judgment was endless, so that Xu Cheng's face changed continuously, and finally grabbed the sword on the ground in the midst of these countless shouts.

He staggered to his feet, and saw Zhu Tingfang and Zhang Shou standing side by side, one heroic and the other handsome, he suddenly laughed: "You sons and daughters who land like this and enjoy wealth and prosperity, in addition to accusing others, what do you know?" ”

"Have you tasted the pain of studying hard for ten years, no matter how cold or hot it is?"

"Do you know the torment of starvation in the exam room, just to sharpen a good article?"

"Do you know the expectation of groveling in front of the Great Masters and Throne Masters of the Enlightenment, begging only for the other to remember your own insignificant name? Do you know how painful it is to be pointed at and scolded as a poor measure that can never come out? ”

"You don't know anything, why accuse me!" Xu Cheng waved the cold sword in his hand like crazy, and saw that the people around him who were still menacing just now all hurriedly retreated, lest they be injured by mistake, he laughed wildly again,

"See, these ant people are like this, if you take a step back, they will have to move an inch, but as long as you swing your sword, ......"

"Naturally, they will be in awe of you!"

He smirked again and swung his sword to force up, and sure enough, the crowd instantly became chaotic.

But the next moment, he saw Cao Wu hurrying over with a few apprentices, some of them went to help the people who fell, and some went to stop the riot and maintain order, while Cao Wu stood up to face himself, he immediately took a few steps back in a panic, and hated it in his heart. These martial arts sects are usually like dogs who bow down to their ears, but now they see him in trouble, but they dare to fight back against their masters!

But at this time, he heard Zhang Shou's voice: "Everyone has the heart to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, you used to whip the people, people are naturally afraid of you, but they are not afraid of your virtue, but they are afraid of your official position!" The official position is given to you by the imperial court, not by yourself! Now that you have no official position, and you still want people to fear you, you can only wield your sword like a madman like you do now! ”

Zhang Shou saw Xu Cheng turn around suddenly, the eyes that stared at him seemed to want to swallow him with hatred, but he sneered: "As for how hard you just said that you were diligent and difficult in the past, that is not a reason for you to harm the people, bend the law for bribes, and pervert the law!" There are thousands of people in the world who study hard, and you are lucky enough! ”

"You study hard in the cold window, how do you know that General Zhu has never heard the rooster dancing, practicing Sanjiu in summer and Sanfu in winter? How do you know that those clean officials and followers have never worked diligently, lest they fail the teachings of the saints and live up to this black hat? How do you know that those examiners who are the great masters and the chief examiners have not gone to great lengths to select talents for the imperial court? ”

"Only look at one's own suffering, not the suffering of others! Xu Cheng, even if you study hard for a hundred years, you are just a shameless beetle! ”

Xu Cheng was finally angered by Zhang Shou's words, he subconsciously screamed, waved the sword in his hand, and strode towards Zhang Shou.

At that moment, he completely forgot what was at stake, what was at stake, what was at stake, and he just wanted to stab this guy who cruelly tore all his mask to death with a sword, and he just wanted to slash the perfect face he dreamed of.

If he also had such a face when he was in the top three and was a fellow jinshi, perhaps, even if he was not young, lost his wife, and had a pair of children under his knees, maybe there would still be someone who would catch a son-in-law and take a fancy to him, a promising talent!

How could he be reduced to the point where he could only be a county magistrate!

A group of vulgar mud legs can hold the noble prince hostage, although Xu Cheng said that it was the first time to hold a sword, but in the face of Zhang Shou, who seemed to be weak, he unconsciously gave birth to full confidence, and even skipped Zhu Tingfang next to him, and forgot that there were also Cao Wu's masters and apprentices behind him.

Seeing that the distance between him and the target he was aiming at had been shortened to a few moments, as if the tip of the sword could stab someone with just a slight delivery, he suddenly saw a flower in front of him, and immediately after, he received a heavy blow to the face. In an instant, he only felt that his nose was so sore that it was almost indescribable, and a stream of liquid that he didn't know what it was instantly erupted, covering his head and face.

It is said that an unarmed person is absolutely weak in the face of a knife wielder - even a martial arts champion will die at the hands of a knife-wielding gangster, but Zhang Shou, who knows a little three-legged cat kung fu, is of course no exception. However, just now, he had one of the biggest reliances, that is, the sword that Zhu Tingfang threw to Xu Cheng actually didn't open......

That sword was agreed upon by them last night, and they were sure that a greedy person like Xu Cheng would not use it for self-execution. In this way, they can easily prevaricate when others ask about it afterwards. It's just a bladeless sword, so what else?

At this moment, Zhang Shou dodged the sword very calmly, and after smashing Xu Cheng's nose with a punch, he saw that the nosebleeds were spraying indiscriminately, and he took a step back because he was dirty, and he was too lazy to stain his clothes again. However, when he retreated, Cao Wu, who had just stopped him with Zhu Tingfang's eyes, did not rush over in time, but he hurriedly stepped forward and directly cut Xu Cheng's arm.

And Cao Wu's clamping was over, because he soon saw that Zhu Tingfang gave him an eventful look. So, he hurriedly let go and retreated, without even bothering to snatch the sword in Xu Cheng's hand.

It wasn't until he saw Zhu Tingfang take a few steps forward, easily took off the sword and threw it to Zhang Shou, and then directly hit Xu Cheng's left and right eye sockets with two punches, and he was stunned that he realized that this eldest prince of the Zhao State Mansion, General Mingwei, who was personally promoted by the emperor, had killed a bunch of dead soldiers in the battle in the back street of Washi.

was punched on the left and right sides, and at this moment, Xu Cheng's eyes were blue and black and bleeding, as funny as a panda's eyes, but he was embarrassed and couldn't see his miserable appearance, and he only cared about howling miserably. Therefore, he had no way of seeing Zhu Tingfang suddenly come to an entourage guard and pull out a steel knife.

"Assassination, contempt for public opinion, unrelenting evil, stubbornness, and not killing are not enough to set the record straight! Go to the Nine Springs, and find Lord Yama to call for wrongdoing! ”

In front of everyone's eyes, they saw that snow-bright knife light suddenly falling, and in an instant, the knife light cut through Xu Cheng's throat. Cao Wu, who hadn't retreated a few steps, was caught off guard, and was splashed all over his body by the gushing blood arrows, only avoiding his head and face. Compared with him, who was shocked to the extreme, the crowd around him was first dead silent, followed by ...... It was dead silence too.

No one thought that Zhu Tingfang would kill people so neatly, and he killed a former court official! Even if they once shouted for Xu Cheng to judge himself, self-judgment and murder are the same!

Zhang Shou thought about it, but in the future, his eldest brother killed people so resolutely, and he was still a little uncomfortable. Coupled with the fact that the person was still carrying a bloody steel knife in his hand, his first reaction was to hide as far as he could. Thanks to the blessing of fighting the rebels in Rongshui Village that time, he has seen blood and dead people, and at this time, he will not be like a scholar who is powerless and faints at the sight of blood.

Standing in the county government compound with Ah Liu's support, Ge Yong didn't see the bloody scene, but he heard Zhu Tingfang's words clearly, and he couldn't help but hold his forehead, not knowing what kind of mood he should be in at this time.

Okay, throwing out a sword to force people to cut themselves, but forcing such a selfish guy to raise his sword and stab, this is really in line with the mystery of the moment, and at the same time, it can kill a former Changlu County Order, a third-class jinshi, like killing chickens and sheep......

Even after so many years, Zhu Dalang is still the same Zhu Dalang!

Seeing that the crowd was still in a state of shock and silence, Zhang Shou cleared his throat and coughed, and then said conclusively: "Come on, put Xu Cheng's corpse into the funeral first!" Go to the palace and bring Xian Yunhe and others to the county office! ”
