Chapter 126: Crying and Laughing (2-in-1)
"Scoundrel! Return the lives of my Liu family and my family...... Woowoo...... Little Demon ...... And return my husband's order to ......"
Liu Wang, the hostess of the Liu family, a middle-aged woman in her forties, was crying loudly at the door of the post house at the door of the inn, with her eyes red and her words sad. The post guard had to stop him, and he could only shout at the sky and grab the ground in the distance, and it was difficult to get close to Lu Zhe and his party.
After a while, the messenger on the ground was also called, and when he heard that there were demons, the county lieutenant even personally brought a large number of public officials, with iron rulers, waist knives and chains, and even someone with black dog blood, and rushed to the post house with great momentum.
This county lieutenant is also a well-informed person, and when he saw a few people dressed in extraordinary clothes, he was not an ordinary person at first glance, and naturally he did not dare to treat the villagers like he did, so he came up and scolded loudly, and after asking about the situation there, he came cautiously to inquire.
As for why the county lieutenant is like this, it is related to the post house in the Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people were not able to live in the post house, only passing officials were eligible, and the post house belonged to a military unit, whether it was the post chief or the post guard, all of them were served by the retired government soldiers or the children of the government soldiers, and the general local security organs really had no way to interfere too much. Just like the hotels in the military region in later generations, ordinary people could not enter at all, even if they were the county public security chief, they had to make a prophetic sound before they could enter the military region to arrest people.
Facing the cautious county lieutenant and the frightened, miserable and crying Liu family woman, as well as those fierce and inward-looking, fully armed dukes, Lu Zhe was not moved at all, as if he didn't see it, chatting with Sun Simiao by himself.
"Damn, little demon!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Yu Wenyin felt like a mirror in his heart, this matter must be related to that immortal disciple, who could kill more than a dozen people silently, this person's methods are amazing.
The key is that this person was invited by Sun Lao Immortal to go to Chang'an to treat the nobles in the palace, coupled with the miraculous trauma treatment technique, no matter which of these two things, is related to a major event that may change the pattern of the Tang Dynasty, so even if it is him, he can't and dare not arrest him easily at this moment, and even help cover it up and deal with these bad things.
It's obviously your doing, and you have to let someone come to clean up the aftermath, it's really hateful! The wine of the little demon is beautiful, but it is not so delicious. Yu Wenyin thought hatefully, so he made a gesture and asked one of his Xuanjia lieutenants to come forward, and hurried on the road after dealing with the matter.
Sure enough, when the Xuanjia Lieutenant, who spoke fluently Chang'an official dialect and was too young to speak, revealed his identity, and then said that yesterday's incident was official business, and the case of the Liu family had nothing to do with his party. The face of the captain surnamed Zheng became kind, and when he heard that the young man over there was a distant ancestor of his own family, and the Taishou Zheng Guanyu was amazed, and everyone in Chenzhou City knew about the landscape Lang, he immediately said that the villagers were ignorant and collided with the nobles, and asked the nobles not to blame.
After finishing speaking, Zheng County Wei Wu went over and saw that the woman of the Liu family was unrelenting, glared at her, and scolded sharply.
"What do you say! I have already asked the people of the post house, Lu Langjun and his party, yesterday with you and others, all in the post house, did not take half a step, how did he run to Ru Liu's house to kill people, not to mention that Ru Liu's family is rampant on weekdays, cruelty to the villagers, I have heard a lot, stealing the position of the three elders in the township, pile by pile, don't you know? The people of the Liu family invaded the fields of their neighbors and plundered the sons of good families as slaves, and the villagers complained and committed great crimes. You must know that the ghosts and gods in the dark have retribution, so you and other men will be taken away, you should be glad that their sins are gone, if you study it carefully according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, you and other families, you should be a family into a cheap family, and be a slave for generations. ”
"My Liu family is the first household in the mountain, who doesn't know? On weekdays, you are kind to others, how can there be such evil deeds, you must be afraid of power and let go of that little demon and a group of murderers! ”
"Liu Wang's! You keep saying that your Liu family is innocent, can you dare to confront a certain county government? This matter is that the ghosts and gods saw the evil done by the Ru family, punished the Liu family, and if they really want to go to the county office, what the Ru family has done will be made public. Zheng County Lieutenant condescendingly looked at Liu Wang's family who was lying on the ground and crying, and finally he was a little unbearable, and he also had some intersection with the Zheng family on weekdays.
"There is a way, people's hearts are like iron, not like iron, official law is like a furnace, Liu Wang's family, it is better to go home and introspect, fortunately, the heavens have eyes, the young son of the Ru family has not been taken away by the ghosts and gods, and you will raise him well, and it may not be the time to revive the Liu family." County Lieutenant Zheng lowered his voice at this time and persuaded the woman of the Liu family.
Thinking that there is still a young son at home, the woman of the Liu family also put away her crying, and looked at Lu Zhe hatefully, as if she wanted to keep the appearance of several people in mind.
"The foolish woman in the village has disturbed the nobles, and I hope the nobles will not mind." Hurriedly let Liu Wang's get up, find the mother-in-law who cooked the soup at the post station, and take it home, and then the county lieutenant Zheng turned around and apologized to the Xuanjia lieutenant with a smile.
"Hmm." The Xuanjia lieutenant hummed a hmm word in his nostrils, even if he knew, he didn't salute, and walked straight to Yu Wenyin's side.
"There's Captain Lao." It was only at the moment he turned around that a light phrase came out of his mouth.
"I'm all stunned, and I don't get out of the way, Hei Saburo, bring this Liu family woman home, and don't want to do anything again." Hearing this, County Lieutenant Zheng hurriedly shouted at everyone as if he had been granted amnesty.
The crowd hurriedly dispersed as birds and beasts, and hurriedly got out of the way.
"This county lieutenant Zheng is afraid that he is also the No. 1 extravagant figure near Jishan." Looking at Zheng County's set of methods to eliminate and fight, which quickly calmed down the turmoil, Lu Zhe felt that if it was a few hundred years later, this person would be a thief of the people like Song Zhusi. Lu Zhe shook his head and sighed.
"Xiao Langjun's methods, it is really unpredictable." Just as Lu Zhe was sighing at the methods of this Zheng County Lieutenant, Yu Wenyin walked up to Lu Zhe, and lightly left a sentence, also sighing at his methods, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head and shouted at the crowd,
"Still stunned, get on the horse, go back to Chang'an! made a mistake and beheaded you. This sentence was said in the direction of Lu Zhe.
"Huh." Lu Zhe looked at Yu Wenyin, who was still angry and got on the horse, then he took a deep look at everyone, turned around and got into the carriage.
"Then the man of the Liu family, is it really a resentful ghost?" The carriage was jolting forward for a long time, and Pei Qingnu, who was opposite Lu Zhe, suddenly asked.
"What does Pei Niangzi think?" Lu Zhe raised his head from a booklet and asked the other party with a smile.
"The green slave is weak and mortal, and the things of ghosts and gods have always been respected." Pei Qingnu gestured, meaning that someone was eavesdropping outside the carriage.
"Confucius has a saying, sacrifice is like being, sacrifice to God is like God. This thing of ghosts and gods is unnecessary. Lu Zhe looked down at his pamphlet again and said no more.
This matter can be considered qualitative.
Of course, the matter of the Liu family was done by Lu Zhe, and the reason why Lu Zhe dared to kill people with ghosts and gods was mainly because of his own behavior, and before it was exposed, even the defendant had no choice.
The reason for this is because of the Spring and Autumn Prison Break! It is feasible in this day and age.
The Spring and Autumn Prison Sentence, also known as the "Jingyi Prison Sentence", was proposed by Dong Zhongshu, a representative figure of Confucianism in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, and is a way of reasoning and judging cases in the trial of cases, mainly using Confucius's thoughts to analyze and convict the facts of the crime. That is, in addition to using the law, the ideas in the six classics of "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", "Music", and "Spring and Autumn" can be used as the basis for adjudicating cases.
For example, A has no son and chooses an abandoned baby as his adopted son. When B grows up, he kills someone, and A hides B. Under the law of the time, the concealment of a prisoner was punishable by severe penalties. However, "Spring and Autumn" advocates that father and son can hide from each other after committing a crime. Dong Zhongshu believes that they are father and son, so A cannot be convicted. At this time, Tang Law clearly stipulated that it was not a crime for father and son to hide from each other.
Although judging cases according to morality rather than according to law may seem absurd to later generations, in this era when Confucianism became the mainstream thought, the Spring and Autumn Prison Sentence was even higher than the judiciary, and even one of the commendable virtues of the officials who decided the case.
There is no way, in this era without punctuation, Confucianism advocates the Spring and Autumn Prison Break, which is nothing more than wanting the right of judicial interpretation. After all, those ancient books that are condescending and deaf are not explained by the Confucian disciples of the saints and disciples as they want?
Needless to say, how important the judicial power of interpretation is.
Therefore, when Lu Zhe said that Confucius sacrificed as if he was there, and sacrificed to God as if God was there, the people outside the car knew that this Xiao Langjun had already planned it! Although he had already heard the report of the Xuanjia Captain that the young son of the Liu family was still alive, he had seven or eight points of affirmation in his heart.
No way, in this era of believing that ghosts and gods have spirits, and in the era of blessings and misfortunes, idealism is so awesome.
Of course, the premise is that you have to belong to the ruling class, if you are not a princess with blue eyes, talking and laughing with the children of the five surnames, and Chen Zhou is too a guest on the throne, even if there is no evidence, you may be put on death row in the name of witchcraft and harming people.
Therefore, this is the reason why the poor men of this era desperately want to blend into the scholars. It is also the biggest source of Lu Zhe's anxiety and fear all the time.
After all, in this ancient era of cannibalism, only by becoming a scholar clan can you be regarded as having some basic human rights, and when you become a great warrior, you can even have a lot of privileges.
In fact, as early as when Liu Xingzu took out a pound of gold, and the people around him were slightly bowed, Lu Zhe knew that it was impossible for him to take advantage of the situation to forcibly kill the Liu family, but let this murderer go unpunished, seeing the tragic situation of the ghost family, Lu Zhe, who was sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, couldn't swallow this breath.
So, in a flash of inspiration, something that he had heard in later generations entered Lu Zhe's mind like lightning.
In later generations, someone immobilized the death row prisoner and made a cut in his wrist to let the blood drip into the bucket, and then blindfolded him. The experimenter then turned on the faucet and let the water drip into the bucket. The condemned prisoner mistakenly thought that the sound of water dropping was the sound of his own blood, and it was not long before he died. But in fact, the wounds on the hands of the condemned prisoners have clotted blood, and they no longer bleed, and they are not enough to die.
Although I don't know the truth of this matter, but the psychological suggestion is true, in the laboratory, someone repeatedly gave the subject to drink a large amount of sugar water, after testing, it can be found that his blood sugar is high, there are physiological changes such as diabetes and urine output. Later, the experimenter did not give the subject sugar water, but only used verbal cues, and as a result, the same physiological changes occurred.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, I'll try it first, it can be regarded as a test of the Liu family's evil. If it is fake, even if the Liu family has a big life, this unique experience will make them cherish their lives more in the future, if it is true, it means that they are unlucky. Lu Zhe quickly found the perfect excuse for his evil deeds.
So, Lu Zhe started his performance, whether it was buying a life with hundreds of catties of gold in Datang, or blowing up the corpse outside the window, it was all the foreshadowing that Lu Zhe used to implement the final plan, giving everyone the impression that a negative young man was indignant.
Everything is just for the performance of finally putting the people of the Liu family in the firewood room. Including a knife to split the corner of the table, but it was just to let the Liu father and son have an impression in their hearts about how sharp the knife in their hands was.
After the men of the Liu family were locked up in the firewood room, Lu Zhe ostensibly said that he was checking whether they were tied tightly, but in fact, he secretly made a cut on their wrists with a waist knife.
"You just wait to dry your blood and die, do you really think that you will be spared?" With every stroke, Lu Zhe whispered to the man. Because the eyes of the people are blindfolded, and their mouths are choked, they cannot receive any information except their voices. Thus, the psychological hint of bloodshed was planted.
Then, Lu Zhe drilled a hole in the bottom of his bamboo tube filled with water and put it on the firewood hanging in the firewood room, in order to ensure that the sound of the water droplets would be amplified, Lu Zhe also deliberately chose a bluestone ground where the water droplets fell.
Of course, Lu Zhe was not so frustrated, although the young son of the Liu family, who was only a few years old, was bound, Lu Zhe did not poison him, but said another sentence in his ear.
"Feel it well, this pile of white bones, this mutilated limbs, and bloody evil ghosts under your house are on the side of your father and brother."
Although I don't know if this son can survive, if he really survives, this sentence will presumably become the evidence of the evil ghost asking for the life of the Liu family, and it will also prove from the side that this matter was done by ghosts and gods, and the Liu family is to blame, not killed by Lu Zhe.
Presumably, after he opened his eyes and saw that he was surrounded by the cold corpses of his father and brother, he would be convinced of his words, and his revenge would be a little smaller. Lu Zhe deliberately spared his young son's life, which was unbearable, and it was also the role of one of his witnesses, and the young son of the Liu family who was present throughout the whole process was enough to prove that no one entered after the firewood room was closed that night. In this way, the statement that the ghost in the secret room kills people is even more impeccable.
Of course, the revenge of killing his father is not shared, and Lu Zhe does not expect his words to scare this son into giving up revenge, but the premise is that he can survive and grow up safely.
Of course, it was not that Lu Zhe used any ghost tricks against the young son of the Liu family, but that the Liu family, whose men were all dead, only the young sons and women were left, and the Liu family, who had little wealth, was tantamount to a large piece of fat in the eyes of the ground bigwigs such as Zheng County Lieutenant, Lu Zhe had reason to believe that soon, some people in the township would pounce on them like vultures and eat everything in the Liu family, and the methods of this group of people were more cruel and bottomless than Lu Zhe. Therefore, Lu Zhe thinks that it is basically difficult for the Liu family, which has been half-crippled by himself, to return to the previous grand occasion.
Before you get revenge, try to survive, boy. In the bottom of Lu Zhe's heart, he couldn't help but think of the usual sentences of the villain boss in the comics.
He wanted to laugh a little bit.
In fact, he literally laughed too.
"The young fairy laughed in the car, and the family next to the road cried." Obviously, the people outside the car have excellent ear power, and said lightly.
"How a family cries as much as they cry." Lu Zhe leaned on the carriage and said lightly.
"A certain qualification is dull, and I would like to hear about it." A gentle male voice sounded outside the car.
"Huh?" Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Lu Zhe was taken aback, so he opened the thin curtain of the carriage and looked out of the carriage.
"Yingchuan Chen Wenruo, I have seen Shanshui Lang." Outside the carriage, a white-clothed young man with slender eyes and pale eyebrows like a knife rode on a horse, smiling and saluting Lu Zhe.
