Text Chapter 37 Leaving people under the knife
Wei Shihao was not afraid of losing his head, but when he was dying, he felt that it was too worthless to die unjustly, so he instinctively resisted.
The two big men pressed him, and it was already quite difficult, so they rushed to the two of them, and each stepped on the back of his knee, forcing him to kneel.
The clothes on his chest had already been torn, and when he knelt down, the longevity lock hung down on his chest.
"Keep people under the knife!"
Enshengjue grabbed the fire order sign again, and was about to throw it out, when suddenly a sonorous and loud voice came from the audience.
This voice shocked Ensheng, and he looked at it, and his whole body suddenly shuddered.
When did this person come to the stage?
Does anyone dare to rob the Dharma field for the second time? Everyone looked at the man who spoke in amazement.
This person is about sixty years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a ruddy face and an extraordinary bearing, and he knows at a glance that he is not an ordinary person.
Everyone was surprised, and the big sweat beside the old man shouted: "Get out of the way of the front, don't get in the way." ”
The crowd immediately dispersed to both sides, making way for the old man, escorted by five or six men, towards the guillotine.
This person is none other than the state official.
Ensheng and the other officials on the stage changed their faces greatly, and they all stood up and left their positions to welcome the arrival of the state official.
Ensheng saw that not only the state official had arrived, but also Lord Xie Zongbing, which was not trivial, and immediately showed an embarrassed smile, and invited the two to sit down in the position of the chief officer, while he stood behind the two.
Mo Qinglian and Xie Yingjun both smiled when they saw the state official and the chief soldier present, they knew that they were all saved now.
With a wave of Ensheng's hand, all his subordinates understood and let go of everyone in the robbery field, only the soldiers holding Wei Shihao and Wei Dart's head did not let go.
"The villain doesn't know that the state official and Mr. Xie have arrived, they are rude, and they deserve death! Since the state official is present, then this execution will be carried out by the state official! Ensheng said.
"What other punishments? Sprinkled. Mr. Xie's voice was like a bell.
There was an uproar in the audience!
"Lord Xie, this prisoner has been guillotined, in front of the people, he said that he would scatter it, there must be an explanation, right? Otherwise, if the boss blames him, isn't it easy to explain this? Enshengpi said with a smile.
"Presumptuous! Before the case was clarified, the suspect was beheaded, how can you explain this? "The governor said solemnly.
"Wei's father and son are like stones in a thatched house, smelly and hard, and they can't ask anything if they stay, so after asking for instructions, this official first beheaded them to pay respect, and then arrested the rest of the party, which is also precedent and not inappropriate." Ensheng has a backstage, and he usually respects the state official on the surface, which is to give him face, but now he is really not afraid of hard encounters.
"This case is very important, and Nanning Mansion attaches great importance to it, so it must be re-investigated, you don't think it's inappropriate, right?" The state official said.
"This ...... All right! Ensheng obeyed the arrangement of the state official, and the case was investigated and handled...... Come on, bring the suspect back for retrial! Although Ensheng was displeased, the governor had spoken, and he didn't dare to disobey.
"No need! The governor wants to personally investigate the case, and the suspect will be escorted back to Qingyuan Mansion for retrial. Xie Zongbing said.
"This ...... Isn't that right? The Xincheng jurisdiction where the case occurred should be under the jurisdiction of the Xincheng Tusi Yamen. Ensheng made up his mind, the two prisoners must not be sent to Qingyuan Mansion for retrial, otherwise all his plots will be wasted.
"Uh...... Could it be that Xincheng is not the place under the jurisdiction of my Qingyuan Mansion? The state official's face sank.
"This case is serious, forgive me for asking the above, and the above will decide, how about it?" Ensheng didn't look like he took the state official in his eyes, and with the 1,000 heavy soldiers he had deployed, he expected that the state official and Xie Zongbing would not be able to take away Wei's father and son.
"Presumptuous! Can't I be the master of the Xincheng Tusi Yamen in Qingyuan Mansion? The governor was furious.
Ensheng was unmoved, his soldiers understood, and while driving the people away from the square, they lined up around the square, with a posture that he did not nod, even if the Hezhou officials robbed people, they could not snatch them away.
Xie Zongbing's face was gloomy, and with a wave of his big hand, a team of more than 200 elite soldiers held spears and broadswords, rode war horses, and rushed straight down from the opposite gate ridge in front of the South Gate Square, and galloped towards the side.
Wherever the cavalry passed, the smoke and dust were billowing and it was very stance!
General Xie has a set of troops to lead the troops, and if the more than 200 cavalry and more than 1,000 soldiers of Ensheng really want to fight, they will have to fight.
Ensheng broke out in a cold sweat, so many people and horses sneaked into the Opposite Gate Ridge unknowingly, and his subordinates didn't even have any news, and he didn't know how many people Xie brought this time.
"Hehe......" Ensheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Chief Soldier Xie, I didn't notice so many people on this trip, and the villain could prepare food and grass for them, right?" ”
Xie Zongbing said: "Qingyuan Mansion is only seventy or eighty places in Xincheng, and you can get there in an hour after a quick march, so why are you embarrassed to bother Lord Entusi?" ”
This was a pun, and secretly told Ensheng that if it was not pleasant, his large army would be able to arrive within an hour.
It didn't work for Ensheng to move out of the backer above, and he couldn't stop it, so he had to watch the state official leave Xincheng with Wei's father and son.
But Ensheng couldn't figure it out, just for the sake of the two civilians, first Mo Qinglian brought people to rob the law field, and then the state official and Mr. Xie led troops to save people, why is this?
In fact, the state official and Mr. Xie did not intend to save the Wei father and son, they just wanted to save the lives of Mo Qinglian and Xie Yingjun. But what the governor didn't expect was that after he discovered one of the secrets, he temporarily changed his mind.
After leaving Xincheng County, the state official and his team marched towards Qingyuan Mansion by way of Jiarenwei.
Along the way, Ensheng did not have the audacity to set up any obstacles for them. The march of the governor and his entourage went smoothly.
Although Wei Shihao and Abba are still locked up in the prison car, from the conversation between the governor and Ensheng on the guillotine, he knows that he can't die.
At this time, he was in a very cheerful mood after being closed from the ghost gate.
He looked at the mountains on both sides of the official road, thinking in his heart that one day, he would come back again, double his money to repay the old thief Ensheng, and avenge his family.
was bored in the prison car, Wei Shihao hummed a mountain song in a low voice:
There are a lot of strange things this year,
King Zhan is kind and good, and the little ghost is evil.
Mistakenly grasp the person who wants to cut off the head,
Fortunately, King Zhan couldn't get through.
……
Elephants with onions in their noses,
Howling came a few arrogant.
How do you know that the extravagant man sharpens the knife,
Slaughter it for the New Year to make sausages.
The soldiers walking by the prisoner cart all liked mountain songs, they knew what Wei Shihao's songs were, and they all enjoyed listening to them, and no one stopped him from singing them.
Besides, the prisoner that the state official rescued from the court was not an ordinary prisoner, and no one dared to offend him.
Wei Dangtou and Wei Shihao were saved, Wei Ermei and Li Maozai were so moved that they almost burst into tears, they knew that this was the result of Mo Man moving reinforcements to Qingyuan Mansion. However, the strange thing is that from the beginning to the end of this time to save people, they did not see Mo Man.
It's clear that Mo Man isn't the kind of person who is afraid of death, but why doesn't she show her face in the court?
If you want to find the answer, only Mo Man and Mo Qinglian can say it clearly. Last night, the two of them chatted alone in Mo Qinglian's mansion until late at night.
After Mo Man left Mo Qinglian's mansion, he stayed alone by the lotus pond in Qingyuan Mansion for a night.
Wei Shihao escaped, to say that the happiest person was Mo Qinglian, she rode a snow-white horse, beside the state official, and said good things all the way, which made everyone happy.
However, she wanted to turn around and talk to Wei Shihao several times, but she was blocked. The governor was worried that if he was seen by Ensheng's eyeliner, he might be afraid that he would have extraneous branches.
After passing through Jiarenwei, the team entered the jurisdiction of Gyeongwon Province.
"Stop!" The old man of the state official ordered the team to stop and said, "Come on, loosen the ties of the two Wei and match the carriage!" ”
"Won't it?" Which one is this play, Mo Qinglian was so surprised that she whispered to Xie Yingjun beside her.
Xie Yingjun didn't know the intentions of the state official, so he said, "Let's take a look first." ”
At this time, the two noticed that behind the line was a carriage. The carriage is luxuriously decorated, and at first glance it is the special seat of the state official, but why didn't he ride the carriage today and ride a high-headed horse?
In an instant, the prisoner cart was opened.
Wei Dangtou and Wei Shihao were respectively helped down by the soldiers.
The state official and Xie Bubing dismounted at the same time and walked in front of Wei Daotou.
"Lord Qingtian! O lord of the governor! ......" Wei Dart Tou Porphyre knelt down, and pulled Wei Shihao to kneel down together, and said gratefully: "Thank you, the state official for saving his life!" Wei Zongsheng and the dog are toothless and unforgettable, and they will be used as cattle and horses to repay the state officials in the future! ”
"Oops! I can't do it, I can't help it, please get up quickly! The state official's face changed greatly, and he and Mr. Xie immediately stepped forward to help the father and son up, and said with a smile: "I finally found the two of you!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was blindfolded. Has the state official been looking for the Webster father and son?
The reason for this is that only Wei Darttou is sober, so he said happily: "The governor ...... old man."
He was about to continue, but the state official raised his hand to ask him to stop, and then grabbed the longevity lock on Wei Shihao's chest and held it in detail for a while, smiling and nodding constantly.
"Is this thing yours?" After the state official looked at Wei Shihao carefully, he felt that he was simply a copy of Mo Huairen, but he still had to ask carefully.
Wei Shihao said: "Yes, the state official. I've been wearing it since I was a kid and I've never left it! ”
The governor's mind went back to that night fourteen years ago. At that time, he led people to Limiao Village, and when he found his right-hand man, he was gone.
Before his assistant died, he drew a bloody word on the ground. This word was later soaked in blood, but it was very clear next to the golden word, so the governor subjectively thought that his assistant was hinting at him, Mo Zongzhao was wearing a longevity lock, and the treasure map was in this thing.
In the past, when the state official went to the Tusi Yamen in Xincheng, he saw this longevity lock, and it was reasonable to think of the lock word.
Now, the governor looks back and thinks that that one word may also be a dart word, and there may be other hints that are drowned in a pool of blood.
What is certain is that Wei Shihao in front of him is basically certain to be Mo Zongzhao, but the specific details have to be returned to the house, and then ask Wei Daotou in detail before he can make a conclusion.
"Yes, yes! You two hurry up and get into the carriage, and we'll talk about it when we get home." The old man said.
Wei Shihao also realized that the state official should have seen his true identity, and the relationship between the two was not ordinary.
