Chapter 321: Do what you want to do
However, Zhen Mengde shouted a lot of voice, but no one paid attention to him, but someone threw a stone at him!
Although Zhen Mengde is still a ringing horse leader, but after all, he is old, and his movements are no longer as sharp as that of young people, he didn't dodge, he was hit by this stone in the forehead, and blood suddenly burst out, Zhen Mengde also fell off the carriage and fell on the road.
Immediately afterwards, countless strong men pounced on Zhen Mengde and pressed Zhen Mengde to the ground, they were afraid that Zhen Mengde would jump up and resist, so they used the form of stacking arhats, pressing up one after another, Zhen Mengde could still scream a few times at first, but it was only a moment, the sound was gone, and it was estimated that he was pressed and fainted.
Wu Penghui saw that the situation was not good, but he did not fight with Zhuang Ding, and he had no intention of saving Zhen Mengde at all, but immediately jumped out of the carriage, turned around and ran, it seemed that he wanted to return to Foxtail Ditch!
But there are strong men around him, Wu Penghui and the strong men are fighting, he is holding a bright big knife in his hand, playing like a mad tiger, it is much more fierce than the strong men around him, and the strong men really can't stop him for a while.
After all, Wu Penghui was sacrificing his life to escape, but none of the strong men were willing to give up their lives to stop him, and for a while, a group of strong men couldn't help Wu Penghui alone, and they couldn't knock him over, but Wu Penghui couldn't escape the encirclement.
At this time, Tang Baoen suddenly jumped out, he needs to have some heroic performance, so that he can be regarded as a meritorious person, although it is unlikely that he can keep his official position, but there is still this possibility, so Tang Baoen decided to fight.
Tang Baoen jumped on top of a big stone, held a sword in his hand, pointed at Wu Penghui with the sword, and shouted: "You bastard, you dare to make up the appearance of the county order, and dare to engage in everything in Bocheng County, today the official Tang Baoen brought people to arrest you, and you are not arrested!" ”
Tang Baoen didn't dare to say anything about Wu Penghui pretending to be a county order, because there were many people in the strong men they brought who didn't know about it, and he was afraid that if it spread, it would be unfavorable to him, but he still had to shout, the supervision envoy from Chang'an was behind him, he had to show it anyway, even if it was a hard-headed performance, he had to perform it, this was a matter of attitude.
But at this time, Wu Penghui's eyes were already red, Ronghua and Fugui were in front of him, everything was planned, but now this unexpected situation suddenly appeared, Ronghua Fugui didn't say anything, even if he wanted to escape back to Liangshan to continue to be a ringing horse, it seemed to be very difficult.
Suddenly, Wu Penghui saw Tang Baoen struggling there, he screamed, brandished a steel knife as if he was playing with his life, and rushed towards Tang Baoen, looking like he was going to cut Tang Baoen directly into two pieces.
Wu Penghui was so desperate that he really broke out of the encirclement and rushed to Tang Baoen, Tang Baoen was taken aback and fell from the stone in fright, he didn't expect so many people to fight around a person, and even let this person rush to him, which was beyond his imagination.
Just when Wu Penghui waved his knife and slashed at Tang Baoen's head, suddenly an arrow flew in the distance, hitting Wu Penghui's wrist, Wu Penghui's steel knife fell to the ground, and then countless strong men pounced on him, pressing him to the ground, and then piling up arhats, crushing Wu Penghui to the point that there was only breath out, and there was no breath in.
The person who shot the arrow was Cheng Zizai, who had been following behind, and Cheng Zizai put down Wu Penghui with an arrow, so he ran over and said to Li Rizhi: "Senior brother, there are only two of them in the fox tail ditch, and the other ringing horses should have been killed by both of them." ”
Li Rizhi looked at the fox tail ditch and saw that black smoke was still emitting inside, and the smell of burnt smell was wafting in the wind, even if he didn't have to go to see it in person, he could think of what was going on inside.
At this time, Tang Baoen had already pressed Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui over, and Tang Baoen said: "Lord Inspector, these two criminals have been caught, how to deal with this matter, I hope that Lord Inspector will show me!" ”
Li Rizhi doesn't have any good ways to deal with these two people now, but these two people must not die, otherwise it will be a big trouble.
This case involves the Zen Ceremony, which may be nothing to the emperor, but for Empress Wu, this is a slap in the face.
During the Zen Ceremony, Empress Wu may temporarily press the case and ignore it, but after the Zen Ceremony, she will definitely turn it over again and repair a group of people related to the case.
If Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui are dead, then there is no evidence of death, in case Empress Wu thinks that Li Rizhi is a murderer and wants to cover up the case for someone, wouldn't it be bad, Li Rizhi will be involved in the turmoil of the court for no reason, which is not worth it.
Li Rizhi hesitated, looked at Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui, and saw that both of them had fainted, but they were still breathing, and they were definitely not dead.
Li Rizhi said: "Shut their mouths, and then put them in the carriage, let's go back to Bocheng County, don't let the people along the way see it." ”
Tang Baoen hurriedly agreed and ordered his subordinates to do it, and he always followed Li Rizhi's side.
Tang Baoen was in a worried mood, and he asked tentatively: "Lord Inspector, the lower officials think that this case can be suppressed, as long as these two people are reported to have a sudden death, and no one will really come to investigate." ”
Li Rizhi glanced at him, sneered and said, "Lord County, how did you become an official?" Don't you know that if an official dies suddenly in office, the Ministry of Officials will send someone to investigate, and if it is found that the official died strangely, then the Criminal Department will be asked to intervene, and the matter will get bigger and bigger, do you think that these two people died, and they both died suddenly, and the Ministry of Officials will not be able to find out? Even if the Ministry of Officials can't find out, then do you think the Criminal Department can't find out either? ”
Tang Baoen was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't know that there was such a process, he thought that as long as it was a sudden death, then as soon as the body was solved, it would be over, as long as the families of Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui didn't come to find trouble, of course it would be fine.
And how could the families of Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui come to find trouble, this is impossible to happen!
Li Rizhi said: "How to deal with things, the official has his own plans, you don't have to say much, what the official asks you to do, you can do it according to the instructions, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the things." ”
Tang Baoen only felt that his throat was dry, he had not experienced the sudden death of an official in office before, how to deal with this kind of thing was all made up by himself by imagination, and now that he heard that there was such a process, he was helpless, he could only agree, what Li Rizhi asked him to do, he could only do anything.
