Chapter 198 Unscrupulous rich gentry, black-hearted county order
Han Shizhong wrote these words, only then did he feel happy, strode out of the room, jumped up and down, and climbed over the wall to get out of the house. Before he had gone far, he heard the house shouting, "Murder." ”
Under the moonlight, Han Shizhong smiled and was about to leave. At this time, unfortunately, a soldier patrolled nearby, and when he heard the noise, he rushed to see him in a suspicious manner, and shouted: "Stop, at this time of curfew, you are not at home, come out to do something." ”
Han Shizhong just ignored it and walked quickly. The soldiers were even more suspicious, and by the moonlight light, they saw that he was holding a knife in one hand with blood stains, and in the other hand, he was carrying a cloth package, and there was blood leaching out of it, so he shouted at that time: "Good thief, he actually harmed people's lives in the county seat, don't leave!" "I hurriedly chased after Han Shizhong.
Han Shizhong saw that something was missing, and shouted loudly: "It is the grandfather who killed the thief, and he who wants to die!" The wrap was tied around his waist, and a steel knife came out horizontally, and the cold light came out.
The soldiers all came to arrest him, and Han Shizhong suddenly killed left and right, and the bloody knife was flickering, he was bruised and died. After fighting for a while, Han Shizhong grabbed a soldier and was about to slash at the neck with the knife, but he saw that the blades were rolled, and the knife body was full of gaps, like jagged teeth, not very sharp. Han Shizhong had no choice but to pull horizontally, and he could hear it in his ears, but it was the sound of sawing bones.
Although it was a summer night now, the soldiers on the left and right did not feel hot, and their hairs stood on end. Looking at the man again, the flesh and blood around his neck were blurred, and it was very oozing. The soldiers were frightened for a while, and they only patrolled, but they did not dare to come forward.
Han Shizhong took the opportunity to pick up a spear and shouted, "And the one who is not afraid of death!" The soldiers were hesitating, when they heard one of them shouting: "Don't be afraid, he's alone, let's all work together, and consume him here!" When everyone heard this, they shouted again and surrounded Han Shizhong.
Han Shizhong fought hard, and when he saw that he was about to fall into a heavy siege, at this moment, there was a loud shout: "Good man, don't panic, let's help you." I saw two big men jumping out of the alley:
With a bare face and yellow beard, a nine-foot-long and short figure, and two water-milled steel smelters hanging from his waist, he is full of a fierce spirit, which is intimidating, and he is a good man. The other had a fierce face, blind in one eye, and a knife in his hand, and the cold light was cold.
The two rushed in left and right, wanting to help Han Shizhong kill the retired officers and soldiers. But see, what a fight:
The mountains are turned upside down, and the sky is dark. The ocean surged, flying into the mirage; The peaks and forests are turned over, and the tigers jump out of the mountains. The heroes danced with guns and swords, and the officers and soldiers shook their forks and knives indiscriminately. shouted loudly, only to bluff his legs and feet; The long howl was repeated again and again, and he was even more frightened. The armor was torn, and the jacket was in tatters. The fog locked the bluestone road, and a few staring heads rolled out; Smoke fan Yiyang City, with a few rows of headless torsos.
The three heroes were fighting fiercely with the officers and soldiers when they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Go out of the water, put out the fire." But when he saw that a great fire was burning in the courtyard of the rich gentry's house, there were several fires in the vicinity. For a while, the voices were boiling, the smoke was filled, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. The three of them saw the opportunity and took advantage of the chaos to escape. Not far away, a man flashed out from the side, Han Shizhong took a look, but it was Ma Ling.
Han Shizhong asked, "Brother, why are you here?" ”
Ma Ling said: "This is not the place to talk, let's go out of the city with me first." The three of them followed Ma Ling, flashed and turned five times, and Shi Jin touched a broken part of the city wall, jumped out, looked for the way, and walked away.
········································································
It is said that Han Shizhong has made a lot of trouble in Yiyang County, which is really not small, and it has already alarmed the county magistrate. The county order here, not long after the new arrival, ruled this tragic thing, did not dare to slack off, and hurried to the scene. He was only a civil official, and when he smelled blood, he was unwell at that time. Helpless, I had to take a hasty look, and the county order was ready to go back to the ya, so that I could make arrangements again.
At this time, the rich gentleman heard the news and also rushed to report the case. Seeing that the county order was like this, it was not good to go to the scene of the murder again, so he invited him and went to a Qingya place. I asked someone to cook the best fragrant tea and brought it to drink.
The county commander was feeling unwell, so he took a sip before he soothed the belching in his heart. Then he saw the rich gentleman kneeling on the ground and weeping, please make the decision for him.
The county magistrate was also soft-hearted, and when he couldn't see this, he asked him to get up, and he was very wronged, so to speak. said: "Hurry up, please get up, there are grievances, that's it." ”
The rich gentry cried and complained: "I was about to tell the father-in-law, but for some reason, today's house broke into the thief and killed the only son of the old man." ”
When the county magistrate heard this, he was surprised and said: "This official heard the report that someone in the county had a death lawsuit, but it turned out to be a foreign official. ”
The rich gentleman nodded hurriedly: "It's exactly what happened to the disdain." Thinking of the little old man, he has always been kind, and he worships the Buddha in the morning and evening, which is the most sincere. Even if you quarrel with someone and have a red face, you have never had it. I should only be able to get good retribution, who would have thought that the little old man had a hard life, and when he encountered such a tragic thing, he taught me this white-haired man, but sent the black-haired man first. My lord, you have to be the master of the little old man. ”
When the county commander saw his appearance, he was very miserable, although he had compassion, but he thought of the soldier and said with a wry smile: "Outside, you don't know that the thief is fierce, and the official also has a headache." ”
The rich gentry knew that the county order was greedy, and hurriedly said: "The prime minister is like this, I think he is busy with official affairs and has exhausted his mind." Xiao Lao'er also suffered from headaches before, and later got a night pearl in the East China Sea, which was quite effective in treating this disease. As he spoke, he took out a sandalwood box from his sleeve, which was exquisitely made and worth a lot of money. Open it to see, a good night pearl, the size of a goose egg, with a glow, adding a little luster to this elegant room.
When the county commander saw it, he praised it: "What a jewel, but looking at this brilliance, it is extraordinary." ”
The rich gentleman said: "If you like it, you will dedicate it to Xianggong now." ”
"How does this work?" The county commander hurriedly said: "Such a jewel, precious and strange, must be a beloved thing outside the staff, how can a gentleman win people's love?" ”
Fu Shen said: "It is quite hard for Lord Xianggong to manage county affairs. It is also fortunate that the people of this county can enjoy Qingning. There is a way to 'make the best use of things', the little old man sincerely sends it away, don't push it back! ”
The county commander saw that his attitude was resolute, and he really liked it, so he had to say: "Even if the staff says this, I will accept it with shame." ”
Fu Shen said: "That's exactly how it should be. Xianggong Mo and Xiao Lao'er are polite. ”
The county order played with it, and praised it in his mouth: "The fluorescence is soft, the touch is cool, and it can make people feel peaceful when you hold it in your hand for a while, and it is really strange." ”
"If it's useful to the prime minister, that's fine." After the rich gentleman finished speaking, he sighed again and said: "Speaking of this thing, it is still the little old man's dog, in order to show filial piety, it took a lot of effort to get it." He is also smart, and there is a lot of praise in the township, but it is a pity that his life is thin, and he has been poisoned, and even the corpse cannot be mourned! ”
When the county magistrate heard this, he put the orb in the sandalwood box, put it in his sleeve, and said pretendly: "Ling Lang is famous, and I have heard a lot." In the face of this great disaster, the official is also deeply saddened and asks for condolences. ”
The rich gentleman got up, bowed on the ground, and said: "The good religion and the public know, but the thief is cruel, not only killed my son, but also the Zhuang Ding in the family, and there are more than a dozen people, who were poisoned by him and lost their lives." ”
"It's so tragic?" When the county order heard it, it was also shocked: "Such a ferocious and stubborn, killing officials and killing people, it is like child's play, it must be a big thief with a famous surname!" ”
The rich gentleman hurriedly said: "The husband is wise, as expected, the thief is really rampant, not to mention killing, he dares to leave a blood book on the wall, and he has a self-registration number, but it is Han Shizhong in Jingxi!" ”
"That's it." The county order was suddenly.
The rich gentleman asked: "Does the prime minister also know this guy?" ”
Splashing Han Wu, everyone in Beijing knows it. But how could the county order let the rich gentry know that he was afraid of Han Shizhong, only to see the county order shake his head and say: "Although this official has never heard of it, but looking at what he did, he must be a lawless rough man!" ”
The rich gentleman nodded hurriedly: "What the prime minister said is true." Such a fierce fang, lawlessness, and the disregard for human life is just ordinary, but it's a pity that my little son is miserable! As he spoke, he burst into tears, and immediately bowed again, and repeatedly wept and asked the county order to make the decision for him.
The county commander smiled bitterly: "Outside the staff, it's not that the official doesn't make decisions with you, but you don't know, the thief is powerful, not to mention, he also has helpers, all of them are vicious, they are really big insects in the mountains, and the officers and soldiers in the city are fighting, but they can't be caught, and there are many people, but they lost their lives." How to arrange the future, this official is also difficult. ”
The rich gentleman said: "If there are difficulties in the public, the little old man is not talented, and he is willing to share his worries." ”
"Oh?" The county magistrate was puzzled, so he asked, "How can you help me?" ”
Fu Shen said: "The soldiers of this county are all loyal and brave, in order to maintain the place, fierce battles against thieves, there are many dead and wounded, the little old man is willing to donate thousands of dollars, or pay for medicine, or as a pension." In addition, give another hundred taels of gold, so as to buy armor and capture thieves. It's all here, and how to arrange it depends on the public. Then he called for a wooden box, opened it, and put it on the table. The county magistrate looked at it and saw that there were twenty gold ingots, which were full of color. There is a thick stack of money at the bottom, and each denomination is a ten-line number.
The county magistrate closed the wooden box and said with a smile: "There are many people who say that they are domineering outside, and their ears are false, but they can't take it seriously." In my opinion, the staff is really a good person in this county. You are so enthusiastic, and the official here will thank them for their exception. ”
The rich gentleman said: "I don't dare to be a prince to show love." The little old man does this, but it is a small end, it is not as hard as the public, and it is the great good and great virtue to govern the peace of a county. ”
"This is our duty as officials." The county order said: "I am fortunate to be appreciated by the official family and teach me to govern the county, and I should be dedicated." If it can benefit the people, it will live up to the trust of the imperial court. ”
The rich gentleman hurriedly said: "Xianggong is benevolent, he is really Qingtian's parents!" Xiao Lao'er once again pleaded with the public to work tirelessly to uphold justice for the people. ”
The county commander nodded, and said with a straight face: "Right now, the thief is rampant, and the killing of people is not counted, it is really a great evil in the world, and this official will never sit idly by!" "When even if someone drew a arrest document, he signed it overnight and posted it without mentioning it.
