Chapter X: The Living Judge
Besides, Sun Shuo's fleet confronted the official ships on the lake, and most of their boats were fishermen's boats, and the best ones were the grain boats that were transported, which was comparable to the majesty of the official family's warships. A mockery came from the official ship: "This is the warship of the bandits?" I'm afraid it's a bandit who can only coax children. ”
On weekdays, Sun Shuo would not pay attention to this obvious agitation method, but at this time, he was eager to investigate the cause of Sun Anzu's death, and he couldn't wait until tomorrow, so he said to Li Wenyuan beside him: "Brother Wenyuan, it is the first time to fight side by side with Brother Dou, it is better to show your hand, and it is better to spoil the spirit of the official army." ”
Li Wenyuan nodded after hearing this, took out a stainless steel feather arrow without a name, and shot out a bow, only to hear the sound of breaking through the air, and then a laughing sailor on the official ship was shot through the chest, and the feather arrow came out of the body, and shot down the Sui character flag, and the entire arrow cluster sank into the mast, and Wu Zizhong trembled.
With only one arrow, there was no sound on the official ship, Sun Shuo took the opportunity to order his subordinates to attack, defeated the officers and soldiers, captured countless warships and sailors, and returned victorious. Returning to the cottage according to the theoretical merits, the banquet was celebrated, during the banquet Sun Shuo said to Zhang Jin: "Big boss, this big victory will definitely cause the Qinghe County under the mountain to shake, starting today, I am going to send Li Wenyuan to Qinghe County to explore the limelight of the official mansion, if there is anything to prepare." ”
Zhang Jincheng nodded in agreement: "Let the Wenyuan brothers bring more gold and silver, it is best to be able to open up the joints among the officers and soldiers, and it is best not to interfere with each other." ”
After the dismissal, Li Wenyuan went to fetch gold and silver, and said goodbye to Dou Jiande and Sun Shuo: "Two brothers, wait for my good news, don't act rashly during this period, Zhang Jin is called ruthless and unscrupulous, you take care." ”
After giving the guards at the city gate four hangings of money, Li Wenyuan finally entered the city with a wagon of goods, found a big mansion to park the carriage, and asked the people in the house to carry the big boxes on the cart inside.
After closing the door of the house, Li Wenyuan found the three largest boxes, opened the lock, and three sturdy men got out of it. These three were all death row prisoners, who were rescued by Sun Anzu, and after being rescued, they abandoned their own names and changed their surnames to Sun Anzu, ranking Sun Da, Sun Er and Sun San according to their age.
Li Wenyuan said to the three of them: "The three of you have all filed in Qinghe County, if someone finds out and reports to the government, our plan will fail, I will go out to find out the news, you are waiting for my news here." ”
The three of them nodded yes, Li Wenyuan changed into a martial arts dress, came to the wine shop and ordered a pot of wine, asked for a few snacks and began to pour himself a drink. But the person on the side said: "Have you heard, the living judge was kidnapped by bandits outside the city a few days ago, and he only returned to the hospital in the past few days, and he will not go to the doctor's office." ”
The other said, "Yes, it was originally the largest medical center in the city, but now it's not about obediently holding your tail and being a man." The tree is a big wind. ”
"What kind of tree is a big trick, it's clearly a quack, I heard people say that he lost his hand and died that the big boss of the cottage didn't dare to show up."
"After the doctor is killed, can the bandit leader come back?"
"You fool, why do you dare to claim to be a judge? Since he has the ability to come back to life, he accidentally killed the bandit leader that day, and he knew that he couldn't survive, and then he took the secret medicine and faked his death. The bandits looked at it, and oh, this head was also dead, and the doctor committed suicide in fear of sin. He could only bury the leader and throw the living judge into the mountains and forests. At night, when the effect of the medicine had passed, the living judge was able to return to Qinghe. ”
Li Wenyuan shook his head after hearing this, these people can tell a lot of tricks in a story, but they also have gains, and they know the news of the living judge. After settling the wine money, he returned to his house, and his heart was repeatedly planning how to approach the living judge.
After Li Wenyuan thought about it carefully, he changed into the costume of a hunter, wrapped a white cloth around his hand, drenched some pig blood, and went out to inquire about the largest hospital in the city. When he arrived at the infirmary, he didn't care about the rules, kicked the door open, put a big grin on the chair, and asked directly: "Which one is the living judge?" Come out and pick up Lao Tzu's bones, his grandmother's stupid leopard dares to bite Lao Tzu, not to let Lao Tzu peel the skin and remove the bones. With that, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and slapped it on the table.
Li Wenyuan inquired clearly, and since the living judge came back, he only said to the outside world that he would no longer practice medicine, but in fact, he only treated the rich and powerful, that is, as long as the money was enough, he could see it.
At this time, a young doctor came next to him and smiled at Li Wenyuan and said, "This brother, the family teacher is old and no longer goes to the clinic, let me take a look at the brother first." ”
Li Wenyuan pretended to be annoyed, pushed the young doctor away, and said angrily: "Look? Have you grown all your hair? Lao Tzu's hands are fucking Jinshan, you fucking cure Lao Tzu and meet tigers and leopards again, will you die for Lao Tzu? Get out of here, let the living judge come out. ”
At this time, as soon as the door curtain opened, a white-haired old man with some fairy wind and bones walked out, stopped the young man who was choked by Li Wenyuan, and said: "This person is right, as a hunter, it is not okay not to listen to the call. After that, he glanced at the silver on the table, and then said, "Let him wait for me in the back of the bone room, and I will prepare the things for the next bone." ”
Li Wenyuan, under the leadership of the young doctor, came to the osteopathic room, and sat down directly after casually pulling a stool. After a while, the living judge also came to the bone room, and was about to remove the gauze on Li Wenyuan's hand, Li Wenyuan turned his head and said to the young doctor: "Go, make a pot of wine for Lao Tzu." ”
The young doctor said angrily: "The family teacher stipulates that alcohol is not allowed in the medical hall. ”
"Eh, rules are dead, people are alive. You just go and get a pot of wine for this Orion. The living judge didn't wait for Li Wenyuan to have another seizure before saying to the young doctor.
The young physician respected the living judge very much, and when he heard what his teacher had said, he reluctantly walked out and closed the door. The living judge began to dismantle the gauze layer by layer, and the more he dismantled it, the more strange it became, how could there be less blood stains the more he went inside? Suddenly felt bad in his heart, and just as he was about to think about it, Li Wenyuan shook off the remaining bandages on his hand, grabbed the collar of the living judge, and pulled out the short dagger from his waist with the other hand, and pressed it against the ribs of the living judge.
"Don't make a sound, or I'll try to see if you can really save the dying." Li Wenyuan said fiercely, and when he saw the living judge nodding, he inserted the dagger back and wanted to feed the living judge a pill he brought. Where is the living judge willing to eat this pill of unknown origin, he closed his mouth tightly and refused to eat it. Li Wenyuan stepped on the live judge's foot with his foot in a hurry, and the live judge screamed out in pain, Li Wenyuan took the opportunity to stuff the pill into the live judge's mouth, and went down, it was too late to spit it out.
Seeing that the living judge had eaten the pill, Li Wenyuan let go of his collar, let him sit on the ground, and asked Li Wenyuan with a sluggish expression: "What did you give me to eat?" ”
Li Wenyuan smiled: "Aren't you claiming to be a living judge?" I am a family heirloom of three days of death, add some of my own secret medicine, no one can solve it, I want to try to see how big your face is in front of Lord Yama in charge of the book of life and death for all these years, whether you can survive for three days. ”
The living judge smiled bitterly and said, "Don't joke, what do you want to do?" ”
Li Wenyuan saw that the living judge saw through his ridiculous words, so he also put away his smile and asked the living judge: "You died the day before yesterday, what did you say in his ear before the big boss died, I want to know the content, and at the same time, I also want to know how you got down the mountain." ”
When the living judge heard Li Wenyuan's words, it was a person from Gaojibo outside the city, and when he was like earth, he hurriedly said: "That day, I was taken captive by the people of your cottage and went to the mountain to treat the knife wound of that person, and when I cleaned his wounds, I heard him say that he would leave me to eat hand-handled mutton at night. In my early years, I accompanied General Changsun on an envoy to the outside of the Saiwai to treat the wounded and sick of the people in the accompanying mission. At this time, I heard the patient say that he would eat mutton at night, and asked about the food of the previous days, and immediately understood that someone was intent on killing him, so I leaned over and whispered in his ear that I could cure the disease, but I could not cure the heart, and he was afraid that his wound would not be healed, and the patient died violently that night. A leader surnamed Zhang stopped the other bandits, gave me a gift down the mountain, and gave me two taels of silver to tell me not to mention it to anyone. ”
Li Wenyuan was confused when he heard it, according to what the living judge said, it was not him who killed the murderer, and the last clue still pointed to the dead cook. But I have no evidence to continue to investigate who did it, I am so close to the mystery of history, and even if I am in it, I can't solve the mystery. While he was thinking about it, the living judge sitting on the ground said, "This good man, I have said everything I should say, can you give me the antidote?" ”
Li Wenyuan took out another pill, ate it in front of the living judge, and said, "It's quite sweet, I made a small pill with hawthorn brown sugar myself, which is appetizing and replenishing qi." With that, he laughed and left. The living judge, who had been wet with cold sweat behind his back, sat on the ground and gasped for breath.
Li Wenyuan took the three brothers Sun and returned to the cottage to explain the situation to Sun Shuo and Dou Jiande: "The living judge is a timid person by nature, and he is only called a judge because he has good medical skills. ”
Dou Jiande frowned, this time the matter was a little difficult to do, and the living judge only saw the killing and killing, but he didn't know who did it. That night, Li Wenyuan and Dou Jiande were in a quiet place in the mountains, admiring the moon, and chatting without a match.
For Dou Jiande, the historical records are all peasant leaders, but they all deliberately ignore that he himself is a well-educated person, otherwise how could he be killed from a group of bandits and establish the Great Xia regime?
The two were walking in the woods when they heard someone talking not far away, so they hurriedly hid their whereabouts and eavesdropped. I only heard one of them say in the tone of a subordinate: "Big brother, that Dou Jiande and Sun Shuo seem to have sensed something, sending Li Wenyuan down the mountain yesterday is definitely not just to explore the movements of the government, the brothers in the city said that Li Wenyuan went to the medical hall and met the living judge." ”
When the other heard this, he said, "It's okay, the living judge doesn't know anything, and I came to him to deal with them." The Living Judge has nothing to do with our cottage, and is timid by nature, and they will definitely believe what he says. ”
Li Wenyuan and Dou Jiande glanced at each other, both of them looked surprised, and the latter's voice was clearly Zhang Jincheng! I heard the subordinate say, "Do you want to find a chance to kill them?" ”
Zhang Jin said: "There is no need for this, they can't trace anything if we do it without leakage, and after a long time, it will naturally belong to us and be used by me." ”
Dou Jiande was angry when he heard it, but he forcibly held back and didn't break out, and waited until the two people walked over completely, and then returned to the second team of the water division with Li Wenyuan and told Sun Shuo what he heard. Sun Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, what Brother Wenyuan said is really right, and it is really Zhang Jin's hand." Big brother, why don't we strike first? ”
Dou Jiande nodded, now that he already knows who killed his brother, there is absolutely no overnight revenge, when even if Sun Shuo contacts Sun Anzu's old department, he is ready to take the lead and kill Zhang Jin to avenge his brother.
Syllable! A teacup was smashed to pieces, Zhang Jincheng was furious, and said to the person who came to report the news: "Damn, I entertained Dou Jiande for a long time, but this guy didn't think about reciprocating, and tried in vain to incite Brother Sun's old department to occupy my cottage?" ”
The man nodded and said, "Yes, then Sun Shuo sent someone to tell me that he had found out the cause of Brother Sun's death, saying that it was Zhang Da's master's hand, and asked us to respond to him as Brother Sun's old department, work together to eradicate the big boss, and support Dou Jiande to become a big boss." ”
"Can't wait any longer, big boss. If this waits any longer, it will be a woman's kindness, and I am afraid that it will not lead the neck to be killed. Zhang Jin said that his subordinates dissuaded.
"Okay, since he Dou Jiande is ruthless, don't blame me Zhang Jin for being unjust, contact all teams, enter the village quickly, and follow me to get rid of the rebellion in the village." Zhang Jin said hatefully.
Dou Jiande and Sun Shuo were waiting for the remaining few people to come back to their lives, but they heard a commotion outside, pushed open the door and walked out, but it was as bright as day with torches, and their own soldiers and Zhang Jincheng's soldiers confronted each other.
Zhang Jincheng sat on the horse and said, "Dou Jiande, Sun Shuo!" You two rebels, I treat you well, especially Sun Shuo, I remember that you are loyal to the old master, and you can be regarded as a loving and righteous person, and you are entrusted with a position, but why should you be ungrateful and betray me! ”
Sun Shuo heard Zhang Jincheng say such a righteous and awe-inspiring thing, and laughed angrily: "Haha, Zhang Jin said, don't you yourself also don't remember Brother Sun's old feelings, so you used that food and anti-virus plan, which induced Brother Sun's wounds to not heal and died tragically in the house." What face do you have to say that I am ungrateful? You are the one who will take revenge! Today, I want to avenge Brother Sun and kill you villain! ”
