Chapter 101: Unlucky is dying suddenly
Shiwei Meiyu, sprinkled all day long, the air can pinch out water, the firewood room is filled with a damp musty smell, Li Mi's nose is itchy, the wound is swollen and painful, it is really difficult to sleep, thinking about getting up and smoking a cigarette, but the fire sickle can't be hit, there is no fire in the firewood room, it is really depressing.
In ancient times, fire was not as cheap as in later generations, so Li Mi had no choice but to knock on the door, wanting to ask the two guarding villagers outside to borrow a fire.
However, after knocking for a long time, no one answered, Li Mi tried to pull the door, but it was locked.
In desperation, Li Mi could only sit down, and it didn't take long to hear the sound of the door lock opening, Yao Shi picked up a lantern, and walked in, her face was pale and she looked a little flustered.
"What's wrong?"
Li Mi is still very grateful to the Yao family, this village woman has gone through hardships, has already seen through the world, and is more open-minded, if it weren't for the Yao family, Li Mi would have let Cai Xuzong be buried by the river.
Yao gritted his teeth, then squatted down, used the key to untie the shackles on Li Mi's ankles, and said to Li Mi: "Cai's people are coming to kill you, you should leave quickly!" ”
Li Mi couldn't help but be taken aback, but didn't leave, but asked, "Why are they suddenly going to kill me?" ”
Yao Shi pushed Li Mi out of the door, and replied: "Cai Xuzong let people poison him, they said that the people of my Ge family were instigated by you during the day, and now they have arrested my Ge family's uncles and brothers, saying that you are the culprit and want to kill you in front of the whole village!" ”
"Cai Xuzong let people poison him?"
Li Mi didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, this Cai Ge village, Ge has been bullied, but there is no shortage of motives for killing, but poisoning Cai Xuzong at this juncture is obviously a little unreasonable.
As soon as Li Mi came to the side of the Ge clan, whether it was for the Cai family or the Ge family, Li Mi was a hot potato, without Zhou Yu present, they didn't know how to deal with Li Mi, in such a situation, how could they poison Cai Xuzong?
Second, Cai Xuzong only had an entanglement with the Ge family during the day, and he was poisoned at night.
And the Yao family was in a hurry, thinking that she had sneaked out, even at such a juncture, she still wanted to protect Li Mi, no matter what the purpose, Li Mi should be grateful, how could she escape alone and let the Ge family bear these alone?
"Eldest sister, don't panic first, the Cai family said that the chief was poisoned by you, is there any evidence?"
Yao heard the word evidence, and saw that Li Mi's expression was calm and calm, and only then did he react, Li Mi is a fast catcher!
If it weren't for the sudden realization at this time, she wouldn't have thought about this problem, before Zhou Yu came to the village, they were all honest rural villagers, but after Zhou Yu came, they even dared to detain the fast arrest, and even wanted to kill this official!
Li Mi asked very resolutely, and his attitude of not wanting to leave was also very resolute, Yao had no choice but to say to Li Mi: "Cai Lichang's liver fire has risen in the past few days, and his eyes are red and his tongue is yellow, so he asked my second father to grab some herbs to eat, and soon after eating the medicinal soup tonight, he bled from his seven orifices, and died before he could shout!" ”
When Yao took herbs to compress Li Mi's wound earlier, Li Mi could see that this village woman knew a little about medical skills, and it turned out that her second father was barefoot, which was no wonder.
"The Cai family insisted that it was my second father who poisoned the lieutenant chief, detained the second father and didn't say anything, and also arrested all the men of my Ge family, both old and young, saying that as soon as the metropolitan governor left, our surname Ge listened to your demagoguery, thinking of turning over and rebelling, and now we are going to arrest you!"
Li Mi heard the whole story, and said to the Yao family: "Is it possible for your second father to poison Cai Xuzong?" ”
Seeing that Li Mi was not leaving, Yao was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and now Li Mi asked again, and her tears were about to fall.
"Are you going to go or not!"
Li Mi shook his head and said: "The eldest sister's kindness to me, Li Mi is very sincere, but I, Li Mi, am not such a person, I can't watch Li Mi be wronged, and Mo Duo said, you take me to Cai's house for a trip." ”
"You're going to Cai's house? You are crazy! They're about to arrest you! ”
Li Mi smiled and said: "Where does the Cai family have such courage, I am a tolerance, if I died in the ruins earlier, it can be said that it was an accident, and now they want to kill me, how dare they?" ”
Yao Shi was not stupid, and shook his head at Li Mi and said: "Although this Cai Ge Village is not small, it is also remote, after killing you, God buried it unconsciously, who knows?" ”
Li Mi was calm and calm, and said to the Yao family: "Don't you Ge family know? Could they still kill all the people with the surname Ge? ”
"Although the lieutenant is just a sesame mung bean, he also has a name and a surname, Cai Xuzong is so dead, the government will definitely send someone down to take a look, right? His Cai family has a thousand guts, and he doesn't dare to kill me, the Cai and Ge families have been grudges for a long time, and they are really going to fall out, and the Ge family can't let the Cai family live happily, they will definitely expose their old bottoms, killing officials is a big crime, and they dare too? ”
As soon as Li Mi said this, Yao also believed it, thought about it, and took Li Mi's Qi family knife and other belongings to Li Mi, and then took Li Mi out.
When I arrived outside the courtyard, I saw a team of young people, carrying sharp weapons such as firewood knives and sickles, and came to Yao's courtyard violently.
"You're a *! When the matter came, he even thought about letting this person escape, what a snake and scorpion-like heart! ”
Yao was also angry, and scolded the man: "Cai Jing, your father is dead, that is because he does not accumulate virtue, if you don't go back to burn more incense and kowtow, come here and spray dog blood with a mouthful of blood!" ”
Li Mi heard such scolding, and couldn't help but feel that he underestimated Yao's, this little widow can clean herself up, she doesn't let people take advantage, and how can she succeed without a pungent energy.
After all, she is a country woman, and her mouth is powerful.
Cai was stunned by Yao's picking, and he suddenly became angry, especially his father's new funeral, this funeral has not been done yet, and the coffin has not had time to prepare, so let Yao curse like this, who can bear it!
"Good you stink*! See if I don't tear your mouth! ”
As soon as Cai said this, a few Cai family brothers around him were about to come up to arrest people, and Li Mi would not stand by and pull out the Qi family knife at this time and face everyone.
"You know I'm tolerance! Attack tolerance, according to the king's law, even if I kill you, I won't be wronged, you can think clearly! ”
These people are also on fire for a while, because in the afternoon, Cai Xuzong thought about killing Li Mi, but now that the ruins have been filled, and the matter has been revealed, they want to kill Li Mi, and there is no excuse to do it, they really want to do it, and they are really a little jealous, and besides, they and the Ge family are already incompatible, and they kill Li Mi, but I am afraid that the Ge family will not be able to cover them up, and it will be troublesome at that time.
Things are just as Li Mi expected, even in the wilderness, with witnesses, it is simply impossible to kill people and hide corpses!
After Li Mi shocked these people, he struck Cai and said: "This person is dead, as the eldest son, even if you don't wear linen and filial piety, at least you have to avenge your father's grievances, if he is really poisoned, he should pay for the blood debt and send the official to justice, what is this kind of commotion!" ”
After all, Li Mi is tolerant, even if he competes with Fan Rongkuan and others, he is not afraid of a character like Zhou Yu, not to mention these rural people in front of him.
As soon as Li Mi's words came out, Cai was also saddened, he was also an upright person, thinking that his father was killed, and he was bent on revenge, but now that he thinks about it, he knows that filial piety is the most important.
The ancients were much more filial than the people of later generations, that is, Zhang Juzheng, who was above 10,000 people under one person, because after the death of his father, he resigned for his father to keep filial piety for less than three years, and he was reinstated and continued to be his first assistant, and was criticized and suffered many impeachments.
Cai was reminded by Li Mi like this, and immediately said fiercely: "You are right, I want to avenge my father, you are a tolerance, I can't kill you, but Cai Lao'er can kill you!" ”
As soon as Cai said this, he led people back, but Li Mi stopped them and said loudly: "It's Cai Lao'er, you can't kill it!" ”
Cai was really angry, and scolded Li Mi: "You dog skin, don't deceive people too much, you said that blood debt and blood repayment, Cai Lao'er poisoned my father, I killed him to pay for his life, it is justified!" ”
Li Mi couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Whether Cai Lao'er really poisoned your father still needs to be investigated, it's not you who have the final say, even if he really poisons your father, he should be handed over to the government to bring it to justice, you abuse lynching, revenge and murder without authorization, and you will also have to suffer a lawsuit!" ”
As soon as Li Mi said this, Cai Jingzhen hated Li Mi to the core, and he was also a little remorseful at this time, if Li Mi was killed by the river in the afternoon, where would he stop him now!
Thinking about it like this, Cai Jingzhen was even more angry with the Yao family and the Ge family, if it weren't for the fact that these people had no eggs and were cowardly and afraid of things, Li Mi's body would have rotted under the ruins!
"My father just drank Cai Lao'er's medicinal soup before he died, my whole family saw it, the dog was poisoned to death after eating the medicine residue, and the evidence is there, we don't count, who has the final say!"
When Cai said this, Yao's heart was also like ashes, but Li Mi said to him.
"I don't know anywhere else, but in this place, of course, I'm in charge! If you can't wait for the ordinary people, how can you make random judgments, even if the human evidence is conclusive, it also needs to be inspected by the government, so it is impossible for you to rebel if you want to rebel! ”
Li Mi said the word rebellion, Cai was stunned for a moment, although his face was blue and black with anger, he was speechless!
In the past ten years, in order to crack down on the Japanese invaders on the southeast coast, it can be said that the war has been continuous, and many people have also taken advantage of the situation to rise up, occupy the mountains as kings, gather in the green forest, and many military generals in order to extract military merits, they will treat these mountain kings and small minions as Japanese robbers to fight, once the hat of rebellion is buttoned, it is almost to leave chickens and dogs!
Although the people of Cai Ge Village were brainwashed by Zhou Yu, they were not extremely vicious people after all, and they did not dare to rebel, so Cai Jing could only compromise at this time.
"Good! You are the tolerance, you have the final say, then let me go and see, if the government does not give me justice to the Cai family, I will let the surname Ge not die well! ”
Hearing this, Yao's face became more and more pale, and Li Mi also felt the pressure of Mount Tai's overwhelming, but the matter has come to this point, Li Mi can only act at the opportunity, at least prevent a bloody conflict, if it can really be handed over to the government to deal with the law and calm this crisis, why not?
However, when he came to the Cai family's land, Li Mi was still taken aback.
