Chapter Thirty-Seven: Beasts Are Inferior
Duan Baokang and Zhang Laoliu threw Xu Rongcai into the private room, Duan Baokang said: "County Zun, this person is a Jiangyang thief, with more than a dozen lives on his hands, this is a wanted warrant, the person on the portrait is exactly the same as him, and he is also called Xu Rongcai, who is also from Shaanzhou, and his father-in-law is also surnamed Qin, so it's him, no doubt!" ”
Saying that, Duan Baokang took out the wanted warrant and put it on Zheng Gangling's table, and there was Guo Youjun next to the table, this time Guo Youjun did not avoid it, he and Zheng Gangling were both smiling, and the two old friends looked at each other, and they both laughed.
Zheng Gang ordered: "It turned out to be a giant thief who killed people and set fires, since this is the case, then take it back to the yamen, interrogate it carefully, and then wait for the autumn queen to be beheaded!" ”
Xu Rongcai was frightened and shouted: "Wronged, wronged, the villain is not called Xu Rongcai, the villain is called Xu Sheng, and he is not from Shaanzhou, he is from Ganzhou, the villain did not marry a wife at all, the villain just looked at that Lu Lu was honest, his wife was a little bit beautiful, and he had a lot of luggage, so he wanted to take advantage of it, the villain is just a liar, not a Jiangyang thief!" ”
The idlers downstairs who watched the excitement were all crowded up the stairs again, and the stairs were full of people, at this time the idlers didn't care about how Xu Rongcai cheated on luggage and deceived women, they only cared, this Xu Rongcai is a Jiangyang thief, his hands are full of blood, it is best not to be cut after the autumn, now make sure the head, let everyone see the excitement!
Zheng Gangling lowered his face and said to Xu Rongcai: "Your name is Xu Sheng, a native of Ganzhou, and you don't have a wife?" Then why did you say that you are Xu Rongcai just now, saying that other people's wives are yours, you are very good at acting! ”
Xu Sheng knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, crying tears and snot all over his face, he said: "The villain is blinded by lard, just thinking about deceiving some luggage, and the green donkey, who has more money at hand, so he has a bad heart, and there is today's thing, but it is really not a Jiangyang thief, killing people and setting fires, the villain is categorically afraid to do it, deceiving people is just going to prison, killing people is to pay for their lives, this villain is clear!" ”
Zheng Gangling slapped the table and shouted: "Qubble, you Jiangyang thief, now that you have been caught, then you retorted that it was not Xu Rongcai, when you confronted Lu Lu just now, your face was still full of sincerity, and now you say no, it is not, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world!" ”
Duan Baokang also added fuel and vinegar to the side: "If you are not a Jiangyang thief, then how can our brothers make meritorious contributions, brothers are still waiting to exchange your head for reward!" ”
Xu Rongcai knocked his head on the ground, this time he didn't dare to act anymore, except for begging for mercy, he had no other expression, just kept defending himself, he was just a liar, not a Jiangyang thief!
Zheng Gang stopped getting angry at this time, and said: "Since you said that you are not a Jiangyang thief, then what is going on between you and Lu Lu today, you can tell me and hear it!" ”
Xu Sheng told what happened.
It turned out that Xu Sheng was a person who often went to the temple to mingle and mingle, he could speak the Tao, and the monks in the temple were embarrassed to drive him away, because as long as the monk was dissatisfied with him, he would say how you monks are, if you drive me away, I will go out and talk nonsense and ruin your reputation.
As soon as this threat was spoken, the monks often did not dare to cause trouble, so they had to provide him with some simple fasting meals, and if Xu Sheng did not have a place to live, they would often give him a guest room.
Therefore, Xu Sheng wandered all over the world, and when he saw the temple, he drilled into it, and at first the monks couldn't see his sinister intentions, but as long as they were in contact for two days, they knew his true character, and if he didn't pay a little price and give him some money, then he would not leave, and even steal the property in the temple.
Not long ago, Xu Shengliu went to Guancheng, Guancheng is very large, there are temples inside and outside the city, he picked the largest temple in the family to enter, said that he wanted to borrow a night, and said that when he left tomorrow morning, he would add more sesame oil money to the temple.
The monks in the temple let him stay for one night, and when the next day, Xu Sheng repeated the old trick, saying that I lived in your temple last night and saw something dirty and dirty, if you don't give me some benefits and don't let me keep my mouth shut, then I will go out and publicize it.
Who knew that the monk in the temple was not afraid at all, and he was arrested and sent to the official to deal with it, Xu Sheng met a monk who was hard and not afraid of causing trouble, so he couldn't do it, he couldn't blackmail anymore, and he was also afraid of seeing the official, so he had to give in, so he was released from the temple.
Walking to the street, I happened to pass by a ready-to-wear store, and saw Lu Lu and Qin Thimble, Lu Lu led the head of the green donkey, and brought a lot of luggage, it seemed that he was going to go far away, this was a very ordinary thing, but Xu Sheng saw that Lu Lu was not good-looking, but his wife Qin Thimble was white and tender, quite a bit of posture, the two stood together, in terms of appearance, it was quite a match.
After Lu Lu and Qin Thimneedle left, Xu Sheng asked others, were the two people husband and wife just now, and they were still holding a child, it was too incompatible, it looked strange!
Around the garment store, there are also a lot of idlers, and they also talk nonsense about some and not, so they say that they are indeed not matched, the woman is the daughter of the shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear store, and the man used to be a buddy, and now he is the son-in-law of the door, but it is only the appearance that does not match, that Lu Lu is an excellent person, honest and loyal, and capable, and the shopkeeper is satisfied with him, otherwise he cannot be recruited as a son-in-law.
After Xu Sheng heard this, he had a plan in his heart, the locals knew about Lu Lu, knew that Lu Lu was not good-looking, but his character was excellent, but the outsiders didn't know, and Lu Lu brought a lot of property, as well as a donkey, and his wife was good-looking, of course, the most important thing was that Lu Lu was honest and loyal.
Honest and loyal people should suffer, otherwise, is it unfair to let smart and clever people suffer! Xu Sheng thinks so, he is smart and clever but has no property and wife, but Lu Lu is honest and loyal, but he has everything, which is not fair, so he wants to do the right thing for heaven and make things fair.
Xu Sheng caught up from behind and followed Lu Lu and his wife, he was very thick-skinned, and he could speak, plus he was good-looking, so it was easy to deceive Lu Lu and his wife's trust.
Xu Sheng knows the key to fraud and blackmail, that is, you have to know other people's privacy, so that you can blackmail, even if you don't know privacy, you have to make it up.
So, he peeked at Qin Thimneedle feeding the child, and knew that Qin Thimneedle had a small scar under her left breast, and knowing this privacy, he was in a hurry to do it, because he found that Lu Lu was indeed an honest man, so he didn't have the patience to wait any longer.
When he got out of the Guancheng realm and entered the Xingyang realm, when he arrived in this town, he immediately turned his face and said that Qin Thimble was his wife, and Lu Lu was a villain who abducted other people's wives and was a female godmother.
Xu Sheng has only one goal, that is, how much can he get, if he can get the luggage and donkeys, if he can get the Qin thimble and the child away, the woman and the child can be sold, and he can get an extra amount of money, it will be even better.
But Xu Sheng made a calculation, but he didn't want Lu Lu to be honest, but others bullied him, he really dared to play with his life, and he definitely didn't show half of his cowardice, protecting his wife and children, and didn't let him succeed for half a point.
As for what Xu Sheng said about seeing officials, going to fight a lawsuit, and how to do these words, they are all deceptive, anyway, he doesn't believe that anyone can really send them to the county government to fight a lawsuit, here is dozens of miles away from the county government, if only he and Lu Lu and his wife go to the lawsuit, and no one else is with them, then it will be enough to find a way, he is a very methodical person, and he has always been confident in this.
But who would have thought that he would encounter the county order of this county here, this is what Xu Sheng never expected in advance, as for all kinds of nonsense and various performances in front of the county order, anyway, he did this work, so naturally it was not effortless.
But people are not as good as heaven, there is a Jiang Yang thief with the same name as the person he made up, this is what Xu Sheng didn't expect anyway, he didn't want to die in a daze, and he didn't want to use his head to exchange wine money for officials, so he could only tell the truth!
Xu Sheng told the whole story, whether it was Li Rizhi and the others in the private room, or the idlers standing on the stairs, they were all quiet for a moment before everyone began to discuss.
Just because Lu Lu and Qin Thimneedle did not match each other in appearance, Xu Sheng had evil thoughts and put them into practice, which was really too much.
Zheng Gangling's tone was cold, and he said: "If you succeed, then the Qin family will be sold by you, and the child will also be sold, and from then on, a family will be completely destroyed, where is your conscience?" ”
Although Xu Sheng cried with tears and snot on his face, he was still in a hurry to defend, he said: "Although the villain does not have a lot of conscience, he is definitely not a Jiangyang thief, but he has no life in his hands, and the adults must not exchange the villain's head for credit!" ”
Guo Youjun couldn't listen to it anymore, slammed the table, stood up, and shouted: "Do you want to sell other people's wives and children, have you ever thought that the child will lose his parents from now on, maybe he will die young, that woman will be humiliated, will he not think of committing suicide, that husband will lose his family, will he not think of committing suicide, if they are gone, then the old couple of the Qin family will live like this!" You say you don't have a life on your hands, but if your vicious deeds succeed, then you don't have a human life on your hands! ”
Guo Youjun is the chief of Shangyang Academy, and Zheng Gangling is an old friend, naturally he is a square person, and he can't look down on the behavior of birds and beasts, of course, he has to reprimand loudly, and many idlers in the town know Guo Shanchang, as soon as Guo Shanchang expressed his position, they also shouted indignantly, and they condemned Xu Sheng as a thing inferior to a beast.
But Xu Sheng doesn't care what others say, he only wants to live, and judging from his experience of cheating for many years, only the county order can decide his life and death, and others don't use anything, so he only asks Zheng Gangling to say that he is not the Jiangyang thief!
Guo Youjun snorted and said: "Whether you are a Jiangyang thief or not, this has yet to be verified, but you are definitely not the Jiangyang thief on the wanted warrant, because the wanted warrant was just written by the old man, a ploy to make you tell the truth, you beast really told the truth, hum!" ”
Li Rizhi's previous idea was mainly aimed at Xu Sheng's impatient temper, and short-tempered people may not make mistakes when doing things that have been planned, but if they encounter unexpected situations, then they will often go on business trips, although not everyone is like this with an irritable person, but Xu Sheng is obviously not that exception, so this case was successfully solved.
When Xu Sheng heard this, his heart was shocked, it turned out that the wanted warrant was fake, no matter how cunning he was, he didn't expect that such a thing as a wanted warrant could be fake, it turned out that the official had never regarded him as a murderous thief.
Xu Sheng's eyes rolled, and he actually shouted: "Qu into a move, what I said just now is all made up, I am not guilty, it is a bent into a trick, I want to sue, I want to sue!" ”
The idlers on the stairs listened to it, and became even more angry, they had never seen such a shameless person, this Xu Sheng's disgusting degree was beyond the bottom line of people in this era, and no one could stand him!
Zheng Gangling snorted coldly, but Guo Youjun was furious and scolded: "It's really something that is not as good as a beast!" "For him, scolding people and beasts is the heaviest thing.
Li Rizhi suddenly said: "If you don't recruit, okay, then take it back to the yamen, interrogate it slowly, see what else you have done before, write it down together, and then count the crimes and punish them heavily, and see if you can lose your head!" ”
