After leaving Wudang Mountain, Cao Yin rode his horse straight to Xiangyang, and went south from Xiangyang to Xiaogan and Wuchang. Along the way, he did not enter the official post station, looked for inn accommodation in the people at night, and often visited the people on the spot to understand the people's suffering. Out of Wuchang City, after a few days of walking to a mountain village in Huangmei County, Cao Yin saw that the red sun was sinking in the west, and his body was tired, so he found a village store to live.

Cao Yin asked for a plate of beef, two bowls of vegetables and half a pot of rice wine, and enjoyed it with taste. After eating for a while, I heard a guest behind me ask the shopkeeper: "How is the matter with the brothers of the Jing family in your village?" Are they really not afraid of death? ”

The shopkeeper sighed: "Alas, their father is a high-ranking official in the court, and in our Huangmei County, he can be regarded as a highly respected person, but it is a pity that he gave birth to four stupid sons. ”

The guest said: "You can't say that, Jing Gong has been an official in the court for several years, and he has always been honest and honest, and the people don't praise him, I heard that the four sons inherited Jing Gong's high virtue and respected the laws of the court. ”

The shopkeeper said: "Although the four brothers of the Jing family are virtuous, they are very stupid, and they have already wasted three in vain, and tomorrow, the youngest Jing Fei is afraid that he will also be in a catastrophe." ”

Cao Yin looked back and saw that the guest was a farmer in his thirties, sitting behind him drinking. Cao Yin asked: "Brother, what you said about Jing Gong, a high-ranking official of the previous dynasty, but Jing Tao of Dali Temple when Emperor Wanli was the emperor?" ”

The cropper man nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Cao Yin said: "Jing Gong Gaode, everyone admires, what happens to his son, how can the store say that they are all stupid?" ”

Before the guest could speak, the shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "The guest officer doesn't know, after the Jing Gong eons of eternity, the four brothers of the Jing family kept to themselves, and they were as virtuous as water, and they were quite famous in our township. A few months ago, the local Pi Qu Deng beat the old man Fu Ming, Fu Ming told Jing Kui, Jing Kui convened the old man, Li Jia and others in the Shenming Pavilion to discuss, and decided to convict Qu Deng of a crime of fighting, how did Qu Deng's uncle Xu Wei the prefect of Huangzhou, and the county ordered Liu Ying not to offend, implying that Jing Kui's major matter was small, and mediation forced the plaintiff and the defendant to reconcile. Jing Kui categorically refused on the grounds that the national law does not allow blasphemy, and insisted on submitting an official document to convict Qudeng of the felony of brawl, Liu Ying was furious, framed Jing Kui for accepting bribes from the plaintiff and perverted the ruling, put Jing Kui's heavy staff and fifty boards into prison, and appointed the second Jing Ying as the pavilion chief to re-handle the case. Unexpectedly, Jing Ying was also arrogant, and he was also reported for the crime of fighting and hurting people, Liu Ying did not do two things, and then beat the second Jing Ying to fifty boards and put him in prison, and then appointed the third Jing Si as the pavilion chief. After submitting the official document, Liu Ying saw that he was still convicted of the felony of fighting and injuring people, and immediately became furious. ”

Cao Yin was shocked and asked eagerly: "Could it be that the fourth child is also imprisoned?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Tomorrow is the deadline for the county to order Liu Ying to give the fourth child, I don't know how the fourth child will report this case to the county government." ”

The farmer behind Cao Yin said: "The brothers of the Jing family are really good, it is really admirable, in my opinion, this fourth brother will definitely follow the practice of the three eldest brothers, not afraid of power, and adhere to the law." ”

The shopkeeper said: "That's not necessarily, although this old four Jing Fei is also proficient in the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but not as pedantic as the three eldest brothers, his person is shrewd and thoughtful, and he is much smarter than Jing Kui, Jing Ying, and Jing Silai. ”

Cao Yin slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "How can this be true, as a county magistrate, not only does not punish the wicked, but repeatedly oppresses the law-abiding good pavilion chief, tomorrow I will meet this domineering Liu county commander." ”

The shopkeeper said: "Don't be angry, if all the prefectures and counties are not like this today, where can we ordinary people manage these many grievances?" ”

Early the next morning, Cao Yin came to the Shenming Pavilion, but saw hundreds of people gathered in front of the gate, all to see the excitement. Cao Yin squeezed into the crowd and saw an elegant young man about twenty years old with a solemn face, holding a volume of documents and saying to everyone: "All the neighbors, Jing Fei is the pavilion chief, when this duke decides the dispute and lawsuit between the neighbors, there is now a bully Qu Deng as the nephew of the Huangzhou prefect, bullying the old man Fu Ming, Jing Fei discussed with the chief, the first head, and the old man, and decided to convict Qu Deng of fighting and hurting people, and now I will immediately go to the county government to declare, hoping to get out of the way and let me out." ”

As soon as Jing Fei's voice fell, there was a burst of cheers in front of the door, everyone got out of the way, Jing Fei strode away, and hundreds of people followed.

Seeing this, Cao Yin couldn't help but nod his head in approval, secretly thinking that this young man named Jing Fei was really a rare loyal talent. In order to test his heart, Cao Yin stepped forward and asked: "Little brother, I heard that your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother were unjustly imprisoned for sticking to the law, if you go again, you will definitely be in a catastrophe, why don't you obey the county order, save your life, and know the current affairs for Junjie." ”

Jing Fei said: "This big brother has a lot of kindness, Jing Fei has thanked him here, but the law of the court is a golden rule, how can it be blasphemed at will?" Cao Gong said that the law is like Jiuding and cannot be moved. Jing Fei, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, if he can't abide by the law, what is the difference between him and those chaotic ministers and thieves? Big brother, please let me go, even if the sword mountain is in the sea of fire, Jing Fei will not change. ”

Cao Yin was full of joy when he heard this, and took a step back and said, "That is the case, please!" ”

Jing Fei continued to move forward, Cao Yin followed behind Jing Fei with everyone, bent on seeing how domineering the overbearing county commander was, no matter what, he couldn't let a good boy like Jing Fei suffer from the destruction of evil officials.

When she arrived at the hall of the Huangmei County Ya, Liu Ying pretended not to know what was going on and asked, "Jing Fei, why are you coming to the court as the pavilion chief?" ”

Jing Fei said calmly: "Tell your lordship, Jing Fei has come to present the case file materials of the bully Qu Deng's battle and assault, and I hope that the mirror will be hung high, and Qu Deng will be punished with law." ”

Jing Fei held up the official document and presented it, who expected Liu Ying's face to turn pale, threw the official document presented by Jing Fei to the ground, and shouted in shock: "Jing Fei, this official has long heard that the four of you brothers accepted bribes from the plaintiff Fu Ming and carefully designed to falsely accuse Qu Deng, do you think this official is easy to deceive?" Someone came, tied up Jing Fei and tortured him. ”

A group of yamen got the order, and they rushed up to capture Jing Fei and tied them up. Cao Yin was furious and stepped forward: "Wait, dare to ask the county commander, do you say that the four brothers of the Jing family have proof of accepting bribes?" As a county magistrate, you don't accept the official documents reported by the pavilion chief, but you have repeatedly put the pavilion chief who presides over justice into prison? ”

The people have always dared to be angry and dare not speak, but now when they saw that someone had come forward, they all made an uproar, and everyone said: "Yes, what evidence is there that the Jing brothers were bribed?" ”

When Liu Ying saw the people coaxing, she suddenly felt empty, and she didn't know how to answer Cao Yin's question for a while.

When Liu Ying was embarrassed, she only heard a shout from the crowd outside the yamen: "The proof of the Jing family's brothers taking bribes is here!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked back, they saw a man in green clothes striding towards the court, and the man said as he walked: "Lord Liu, I can testify for you." Liu Ying was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "Zhuangshi, do you know about the Jing family's brothers taking bribes?" ”

The man didn't speak, just nodded slightly, slapped his palm three more times, and heard someone outside shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way." Three black-clothed men strode in, and one of them came to the man in Tsing Yi with a wooden box in his hand, and the man in Tsing Yi said, "Don't hurry up and present the evidence to Lord Liu." The black-clothed man holding the wooden box smiled and sent the wooden box to the desk.

Liu Ying was overjoyed, thinking that there must be evidence of the Jing family's brothers taking bribes in this wooden box, and eagerly opened it to take a look, but saw a bloody human head, Liu Ying fell behind the desk with an "ah" sound.

The black-clothed man who presented the wooden box jumped into the case and lifted Liu Ying up and scolded: "Dog officer, look how long you are still arrogant!" ”

At this time, the man in green clothes pointed to the human head and said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, Qu Deng has been rampant in the township, and he has been corrected by my brothers. He pointed to Liu Ying and said to everyone: "Such a wolf generation, wearing a black gauze hat called benevolence, righteousness and morality, is really hateful. ”

This change was too fast, and the officials on both sides didn't know what was going on at first, but when they came to their senses, they danced the killing stick and hit the four of them, and were beaten by the other two black-clothed men with a few punches. Li Li, the head catcher in the county government, heard that there was a change in the court, and led twenty or thirty arresters to hurry up, but he was also beaten by two black-clothed men.

The black-clothed man carrying Liu Ying took out a short knife and quickly cut off one of Liu Ying's ears, causing Liu Ying to cry out in pain.

Most of the people were so frightened that they ran out of the court, and only a few brave ones stood in the court to watch the excitement.

Cao Yin saw that the four of them were making trouble in the court, and immediately stepped forward to stop it: "Four strong men, the county order reverses black and white, bends the law and takes power, and they should be punished by the law. ”

The man in Tsing Yi laughed and said: "What the four brothers did was a great crime of extermination, and they were not afraid. ”

It turned out that the person who came was none other than Tang Hai, Shan Yong, Lin Yuan, and Ye Yang. The four of them swam here, heard the story of the four brothers of the Jing family, and decided to fight the grievances, break the evil and establish righteousness, so they killed Qu Deng last night, and came to the county government today to clean up the dog official Liu Ying.

Cao Yin was shocked when he heard Tang Hai's words, he thought that the four of them were fighting like him, but the means were a little too radical, but he didn't expect them to be a few wicked people in the rivers and lakes who did evil, so he said righteously: "The public court is the public court of the imperial court, where the majesty of the Son of Heaven is, you and the other four people are not afraid of being punished by the law when they kill in the public court?" ”

At this time, Ye Yang cut off Liu Ying's other ear and threw it at Cao Yin's feet and said with a smile: "Grandpa is not afraid of heaven and earth, if the Son of Heaven decides that the case is unfair, grandpa will also cut off his ear." ”

Tang Hai also ignored Cao Yin, and said to Ye Yang: "Hugh gossip, kill the dog official, and withdraw quickly." ”

Ye Yang promised to say "Okay", and raised his knife to stab Liu Ying in the chest, which frightened Liu Ying and hurriedly begged for mercy: "The hero spares his life, I am willing to give a hundred taels of gold to the hero." ”

Tang Haidao: "If you want to live, in addition to handing over the looted gold and silver, you have to release the Jing family brothers." ”

Liu Ying nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly said to the official hiding under the table: "Quick, go to the back hall to get the gold, and then go to the prison to release the Jing family brothers." ”

After a while, the gold was brought, and Jing Kui, Jing Ying, and Jing Si were also released, but unfortunately the three of them were tortured and their legs were broken and it was difficult to walk. Jing Fei saw the three brothers like this, and couldn't help but be sad and angry, and cried.

Tang Hai pointed to the gold and silver and the four brothers of the Jing family to grab Bai Cao Yin and said: "Today, the court is dim, the sun and the moon are bleak, this dog official looted the people's fat and ointment, and killed the loyal and virtuous men, do you think he shouldn't die?" ”

Cao Yin was about to speak, Ye Yang had already stabbed Liu Ying to death, Tang Hai said "go", and the four of them hurriedly walked out. Ye Yang walked up to Cao Yin with a large bag of gold on his back and said with a smile: "You are not convinced? Go to the emperor to report the case, grandpa's surname is Ye Mingyang, waiting for him to arrest him at any time, haha. ”

Cao Yin was furious: "Do you want to run away after committing a mortal crime?" Ye Yang was furious and raised his knife to cut, but Tang Hai grabbed him and said: "Although this person is pedantic, he is also a loyal person, and he cannot be killed." Ye Yang snorted, shook off Cao Yin and walked away.

When the people saw that Liu Ying was dead, the yacha fell to the ground one by one and couldn't move, and the resentment in their stomachs exploded for a while, and they rushed forward to punch and kick the yacha on the ground. After relieving his anger, he assisted Jing Fei to help his three brothers up and send them home. Jing Fei hurriedly found a doctor to treat the injuries of the three elder brothers, and after the doctor dressed the medicine, he told him to leave again, Jing Fei didn't dare to go anywhere, and stayed by the bedside to take care of the three brothers carefully.

In the early morning of the second day, a group of yamen sent over to deliver a message, asking Jing Fei to go to the county government for questioning, Jing Fei did not dare to slack off, and hurried to the county office, and saw Xu Wei, the governor of Huangzhou, sitting on the court. Jing Fei knelt down to salute, Xu Wei saw that Jing Fei was elegant and elegant, and knew that the four brothers of the Jing family were deeply popular in Huangmei County, and the nephew was evil first, and Ye Yang killed people later, this matter has nothing to do with Jing Fei, the most important thing in front of him is to arrest Ye Yang and the other four murderers as soon as possible, so he said: "This matter started because of you, I should have held you responsible, and there is nothing wrong with you and the three brothers, and this official will not be investigated." ”

Jing Fei arched his hand and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Xu Wei said again: "Do you know the whereabouts of the murderer Ye Yang and the four people?" ”

Jing Fei said: "The villain doesn't know. ”

Xu Wei said: "Jing Fei, if you see a murderer in the future, you must report it to the official immediately, and if you conceal it, you will be guilty of the same crime as the murderer." ”

Jing Fei said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, these four people disturbed the court, killed the court officials without permission, and robbed property, which is a great crime, if there is news about them, the villain will not dare to hide it." ”

Xu Weihao sighed and said helplessly: "You step down." ”

Jing Fei retreated, and because he missed his brother at home, he hurriedly went home. When he arrived at home, he saw a man sitting in front of the bed of the three brothers and talking to them. Jing Fei approached and saw that it was Cao Yin, and thanked him: "This eldest brother spoke for Jing Fei yesterday, Jing Fei is grateful, I don't know why the eldest brother came to the cold house?" ”

Jing Kui said: "Brother, who is this big brother in your Dao?" ”

Jing Fei was surprised and asked, "Big brother, who is he?" ”

Jing Ying said: "You and my brothers often talk about Lord Cao Yin Cao in the Northern Law, but now Lord Cao is in front of you, but why don't you know it."

Jing Fei was shocked, and hurriedly bowed: "I have heard for a long time that Lord Cao is proficient in ancient and modern laws, and he strongly advocates practicing the law to be strong and bright, and the people of the world are all looking forward to it, and the four of my brothers are also admiring it day and night." ”

Cao Yin picked up Jing Fei and said: "The little brother is falsely praised, the Jing family brothers abide by the law and are not afraid of power, Cao Yin admires it very much." ”

Jing Fei asked, "Why is Lord Cao here?" ”

Cao Yin said: "It's hard to say, today's Cao Yin is a degraded official in the imperial court, and he is about to go to Taihe to take up a position, and he doesn't want to meet a bosom friend, which is also a blessing." After Cao Yin finished speaking, he looked at the dilapidated house of the Jing family, and asked again, "Who else is in your family?" ”

Jing Fei said: "Soon after my father died, my mother also passed away, and now the family has no other property and no relatives except for a few acres of thin fields. ”

Cao Yin said: "If the four brothers don't dislike it, they can sell their land and property with me to Taihe, and I will definitely practice the law to be strong when I go to Taihe, and make a good example to show the court, and I need a helper who believes in the law and practices the law." ”

The Jing brothers were overjoyed, Jing Kui, Jing Ying, and Jing Si gave their hands on the bed, Jing Fei knelt down and worshipped each other, and the four of them said together: "My four brothers can't ask for it, if Lord Cao doesn't dislike it, I am willing to worship Lord Cao as a teacher and follow him for life." ”

Cao Yin was overjoyed, helped Jing Fei up, and said happily: "Cao Yin is lucky." ”

Jing Kui said: "Please take the first step forward, the disciple heals his injuries and sells his property, and it will only be ten days and a half months, and he will definitely come to Taihe to meet with his teacher." ”

Cao Yin said: "Very good. ”

Jing Kui instructed Jing Fei: "Fourth brother, my second brother and your third brother are fine, you take the time to go to Gaoshan Temple, my brothers will go here, I don't know what year and month will be able to return to Huangmei, you can go to the vegetable planting Zen master on behalf of my four brothers." ”

Jing Fei said: "Big brother, I'll go now." ”

Cao Yinqi said: "Who is the Zen master who grows vegetables?" ”

Jing Fei said: "Teacher, there is a high mountain temple in Dahe Town, the temple enshrines the Buddha statue of Jingjian Patriarch in the flesh, the incense is vigorous, famous far and near, there is a vegetable old monk outside the temple, no name and no number, he knows the Zen machine, and he has reached Bodhi, my four brothers often discuss the Tao with him, and after a long time, it has become irreversible. ”

Cao Yin said: "Since there are senior monks here, you must not visit, why should I go with you?" ”

Jing Feixi said: "If the teacher is not afraid of hard work, the disciple can't ask for it." ”

Outside the Huangmei Gaoshan Temple, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the vines are entwined with arrowroot, the pine is dense and the bamboo is dense, but there is a wide land, about five or six acres, there are all kinds of vegetables planted on it, a piece of angang green.

"The Zen master is sweating profusely, why not take a break for a while." Jing Fei approached the vegetable garden with Cao Yin, and saw that the Zen master was bending over to water with a bucket in one hand and a spoon in the other, and the sweat on his head was flowing down his forehead, so he kindly reminded: "Don't be tired." ”

The vegetable planting Zen master looked up and saw that Jing Fei was coming, put down the bucket, threw the wooden spoon into the bucket, stood up and wiped his sweat and said, "Why don't you see your eldest brother, second brother and third brother today?" ”

Jing Fei said: "The four brothers want to go to Taihe County with the master to practice the law, but because the three brothers are dealing with the fields at home and have no time to withdraw, Jing Fei specially ordered Jing Fei to come and bid farewell to the Zen master." ”

When the Zen master heard this, he sighed, "After all, you still have to go to the world. As he spoke, the Zen master invited Cao Yin and Jing Fei to come to the shade of the tree at the edge of the vegetable garden and sat on the stone bench. ”

Jing Fei replied: "Exactly, the teacher was given by Emperor Guangzong to pass through the heavens, determined to practice the law to strengthen the country and enrich the people, but unfortunately the luck is not good, the ambition is not successful, the current emperor is sage, the teacher was sent to Taihe to serve, my four brothers thanks to the teacher did not abandon the invitation to go together, especially to the Zen master resignation." ”

Cao Yin clasped his hands together and said, "Zen Master, do you think the Jing family brothers shouldn't go with me?" ”

The Zen master who planted vegetables saluted with his palms and said: "Lord Cao, everything in the world has a fixed number, people are reincarnated in the six realms, things are reincarnated in the round trip, there is nothing new in the world, all in the wheel." ”

Cao Yin said: "There is nothing new in the world, all in the wheel? What does the Zen master mean, all hope to teach. ”

The Zen master said: "People in the world are busy, looking for and seeking, and there is nothing new in what they do, all of which have been experienced by their predecessors." Today, the ancients have all the desires, aspirations, successes, and failures of Lord Cao, so how can there be any novelty? Not only Lord Cao is like this, but the people who covet the artifacts of Kyushu in the north today, the emperor will work hard to make meritorious contributions, and even the people who pursue petty profits in the wind and fire. You see how holy that Yao Shun is, and he will not rule the world for long; Tang Wu is so powerful, the country is always in chaos; The Confucian scholar Confucius had Meng, Meng had Dong, and Dong had Zhu...... However, there are countless rudeness in the world; There is Zhuang after the Taoist, there is Zhang after the village, and there is Ge after Zhang...... However, there is an endless stream of seekers in the world; After the Buddha is released, there is Xuan, after Xuan, there is wisdom...... However, the world continues to kill; There is a guest after the military family, there is Wu after the guest, and there is a white ...... after the Wu However, the world's beacon fire has been unfailing for a long time. From this point of view, whether it is today's Xianhuang, Fang Qing, Wang Changyue, Luo Kong, or Cao Yin, everything you do is the old and rotten things that the ancients have done countless times, and there is nothing new, and there will inevitably be no new results. ”

Cao Yin said: "What the Zen master said is bad, there is chaos and governance in the world, Yao Shun is in the world, and the road is not left behind; civil and military Lizhou, abundant food and clothing; From this point of view, as long as you work hard, the world will be peaceful, and the people will always have hope. ”

The Zen Master shook his head, sighed, and said helplessly: "The old man has no intention of arguing with Lord Cao, Lord Cao is dedicated to the people, respectable and admirable, I hope you will take the four jingsheng dragons and tigers with you, and you can send them back intact in the future." Amitabha! ”
