Chapter 81: Public Trial
While Shi Jin was treating those wounded soldiers, Lin Chong took thirty people to secretly monitor Luan Tingyu and Zhu Chaofeng.
After Luan Yanyu escorted Zhu Chaofeng down the mountain, he shouted to Zhu Chaofeng, "Zhu Taigong, Luan Yanyu will escort you here." You are taking Luan Yanyu in distress and are kind to Luan Yanyu. Saving Taigong's life today can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the day. ”
The three sons died, and their family property was taken away by the Liangshan bandits.
Zhu Chaofeng knew that if he wanted to avenge this bloody feud, he could only rely on the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and this Luan Yanyu was strong in martial arts, even if he attacked Liangshan in the future, it would be a big help.
Zhu Chaofeng hurriedly said, "Teacher Luan, why do you have the ability to commit yourself to the recklessness. I still have a family business in the county, as long as Teacher Luan continues to follow me, I will not treat you badly! ”
Luan Yanyu shook his head and said, "Since Luan Yanyu has promised to commit to Liangshan, he will exchange Taigong's life. Shi Jin kept his promise, how could Luan Yanyu be that treacherous! ”
Zhu Chaofeng stomped his feet and scolded, "Confused." They're just a bunch of bandits, what credit do you tell them! ”
Luan Yanyu said firmly, "When I promised him, Luan Yanyu already knew that he was a thief. Now how can they break the contract under the pretext that they are bandits? This is not the work of a hero! I wish Taigong to do it himself, and Shu Luan Yanyu can't be with him anymore! ”
After speaking, ignoring Zhu Chaofeng's scolding in the back, Luan Yanyu turned around and went up the mountain again.
Seeing that Luan Yanyu was stubborn about going up the mountain, Zhu Chaofeng breathed a sigh of relief and scolded angrily, "Shi Jin, Liangshan, you damn bandits are waiting for the old man." Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will definitely lead someone to kill you all! ”
After viciously glancing at Dulonggang again, Zhu Chaofeng walked towards Linyi County with his old legs.
After Shi Jin finished treating the seriously injured, he washed it, changed into a set of clean clothes, and came out, and saw Luan Yanyu waiting in the middle hall.
Shi Jin saw Luan Yanyu and said happily, "Shi Jin is late for changing clothes, so it's time for Brother Luan to wait for a long time." Forgiveness! ”
Luan Yanyu saw Shi coming in, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't dare, since the big boss keeps his promise, let Taigong have a way out." Luan Yanyu kept his promise, and since then he has defected to Liangshan and followed the big leader! ”
Shi Jin took Luan Yanyu's hand and sat down and said, "You and I are already brothers now, what do you say The big boss is too foreign." Call me big brother in the future! Hahaha......"
Luan Yanyu said expressionlessly, "Yes, big brother! ”
Shi Jin wanted to get closer to Luan Yanyu, but Luan Yanyu was not of high nature. It was Shi Jin who said three or seven or eight sentences, and only replied to one or two sentences.
Shi Jin patted his forehead when he saw it and said, "Alas, look at my pig head." This is a good place to talk to your brother. Put it this way! Brother Xian, you go back to Liangshan with some people first. After the eldest brother is done here, I will go to Liangshan to talk to you! ”
Luan Yanyu said with some emotion, "Thanks, big brother! ”
Shi Jin smiled and said, "My own brother, what do you want to say about thank you or not." Go and clean up your salute. When the army returns, someone will call you! ”
Luan Yanyu immediately surrendered his hand and said, "Big brother, Luan Yanyu retired first!" ”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "Well, go ahead!" ”
After Luan Yanyu left, Lin Chong flashed in and said, "This guy is also a good man who does what he says!" ”
Shi Jin asked, "Where is Old Man Zhu going now?" ”
Lin Chong replied, "I went in the direction of Linyi County." Big brother really doesn't need to send someone to ...... him."
Shi Jin shook his head and said, "We don't have to do it, naturally someone will clean him up!" By the way, Brother Xian, you go to Zhujia Village at the foot of the mountain to build a wooden platform. Wait for my brother to use it. ”
Lin Chong hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Yes, Lin Chong will do it!" ”
Shi Jin called Wu Song and Lu Zhishen over and said, "Two virtuous brothers, this attack on Zhujiazhuang has gained a lot. The two of you will escort some of your belongings and food back to Liangshan first. After handling the tail of the hand for the brother, he escorted the remaining supplies back to Liangshan. By the way, when you leave, sell Luan Yanyu by the way. He has promised to go up the mountain, and everyone will be brothers in the future! ”
For Luan Yanyu's martial arts, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen also admired it very much.
Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and said, "I've seen his martial arts, but I don't know how much he drinks?" ”
Wu Song echoed, "I'll know soon after I went back to him to fight wine!" ”
Lu Zhishen smiled, "Good idea! ”
After speaking, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song looked at Shi Jin in unison, and said with a flattering smile. "Big brother, I've drunk all the knives since I burned them before. My brother's mouth is full of birds. Big Brother's newly brewed wine should be out of the cellar! ”
Looking at the fierce faces of the two of them trying to make a flattering look, Shi Jin immediately shuddered when he saw it, and said, "Don't don't, don't laugh." Weird and scary! The wine was ready to be released from the cellar, but it was intended to be used for horses. You can save me some drink, if it ruins my plan. Don't blame the big brother for taking back all your horses and giving them to the soldiers! ”
Lu Zhishen and Wu Song hurriedly waved their hands and said, "No, no, we will definitely not drink too much!" ”
Shi Jin said, "Okay, just look at your appearance, you know that you can't stay for a moment. Pack up and go back quickly, remember to be careful on the road, if there is a mistake in those belongings, food and rice. As a brother, you will definitely be punished for abstaining from alcohol for the rest of your life! ”
Lu Zhishen and Wu Song slapped their chests and reassured, "Don't worry, big brother, we will definitely not take care of it." There will never be any slip-ups! ”
Shi Jin waved his hand and asked them all to go, and Wu Song and Lu Zhishen immediately hurriedly counted the escorted materials, preparing to go back to Liangshan early to drink.
After the two of them left, Shi Jin stayed in the middle hall to continue to deal with the aftermath of the war.
Hu Sanniang has been guarded in her own tent for so long, and Shi Jin hasn't had time to rush to see her!
Victory, men can celebrate.
But as a leader, there are still a lot of tedious things to deal with.
People look at the scenery in front of people, but people are going to suffer in the future!
There is also a captive Zhu Long in front of him to deal with!
Shi Jin called Zhu Wu over and asked someone to tie up Zhu Long and walk down the mountain.
At this time, in Zhujia Village, two fast horses ran back and forth in Zhujia Village, shouting loudly, "Come and see, Zhujiazhuang has been breached, and the heroes of Liangshan want to publicly judge the bully Zhulong, come, revenge for revenge, revenge for grievances." I wish the folks and elders of Jiazhuang to come and see it......"
Although there was a lot of noise in Liangshanjun last night, the villagers of Zhujiazhuang were afraid that this gang of bandits would burn and rob, so wherever they dared to go out, they nailed the gate with wooden boards.
Now that I heard that someone was going to publicly judge Zhu Long, some bold or single-minded ruffians took the lead in coming out of the house.
At the entrance of the village, someone built a half-person-high wooden platform. On the wooden platform, there is a large character written in red letters on white cloth - Bully Zhulong Trial Conference!
Seeing that Liang Shanjun did not disturb the people, but stood on the street to maintain order.
More and more villagers walked out of their houses and to the wooden platform to see what was going on with the so-called judgment meeting falling to the ground.
Seeing that the villagers were almost here, Shi Jin walked up to the wooden platform with the captured Zhu Long, and several soldiers also walked up to the wooden platform with the heads of Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao.
Zhu Long, who is the most powerful on weekdays and bullies men and women, was tied with his hands tied at this time, his mouth was blocked by a rag, his hair was scattered, and he was taken to the wooden platform with an embarrassed face.
The onlookers looked at the heads of Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao, and then saw that it was Zhu Long who was bound, and immediately there was a commotion.
Although many people already knew that Zhujiazhuang had been conquered, when they saw the three brothers of the Zhu family, two dead and one captured, they completely believed that Zhujiazhuang was conquered by this group of Liangshan heroes.
Many people couldn't help but feel shocked. This Zhujiazhuang is in a dangerous terrain, and there are more than 2,000 Zhuang guests, and it was captured by the Liangshan army in less than a day, how strong is the strength of the Liangshan army!
Those guys who have no old age and no young, and who feed the whole family and are not hungry are thinking about whether to go up the mountain to take refuge.
This Liangshan has a good reputation, and he is not afraid of the sky, the earth, or the lawsuit.
No matter what the people thought in their hearts, after Zhu Wu and Zhu Long went up, the escorted soldiers kicked their feet, and Zhu Long immediately knelt on the ground and knelt in front of the people.
Shi Jin stepped forward and shouted loudly, "I wish the villagers and elders of Jiazhuang! You get up early every day and work hard in the scorching sun and cold wind, but in the end, you still don't have enough food and clothing, why? ”
Shi Jin waited for a moment before pointing at Zhu Long and shouting loudly: "Because the fruits of your hard work have been occupied by others." Who are they? Everyone, please see, it is the Zhulong family kneeling here who has seized the fruits of your labor by snatching and snatching! ”
Seeing that the people were still a little unresponsive, Shi Jin continued to shout: "Do you think that you have rented their land and should pay the rent!" ”
At this time, many people couldn't help but nod.
Shi Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, it's good to have a reaction, I'm afraid that you won't react.
Shi Jin continued to shout, "It's natural to pay rent, but do you think about what kind of rent the Zhulong family set? A good-hearted landlord collects two or three percent of the rent. The more ruthless is to collect four or five percent. But what about this family? This is born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry it first. The same is to wish the family, but they are black-hearted to collect six or seven percent of the rent from you, and in addition to paying their family's rent every year, you must also bear all kinds of servitude from the government. I am afraid that less than 30% of the grain you have worked so hard to cultivate will fall into your hands every year, and even two CDs will not be available. With this meager income, let alone surplus money, I can't even eat. Once you encounter a disaster year, this damn Zhu family will still force you to pay rent and grain. What should I do if I can't hand it over? ”
"Forcing you to borrow money from them, small buckets out, big buckets in, once you borrow their money, the profits will roll, and then you can't afford to sell your sons and daughters. If you do not pay rent or food, they will send men to rob you of everything of value, and sell your daughters to brothels, and your sons will be taken captive to work as coolies. Think about it, are you working hard all your life just to feed the family, and then your children and grandchildren will continue to be cattle and horses? ”
Hearing Shi Jin's shout, the people in the audience suddenly had a commotion.
When some people heard what Shi Jin said was exactly the same as what happened to them, they immediately resonated and shouted, "I don't want to!" ”
After Shi Jin inspected the people in the audience, he shouted loudly: "Do you think such a vicious family should be killed?" ”
The people immediately shouted with emotion, "Kill!" ”
Shi Jin shouted, "Good! If there is a grievance, come and expose it, let the whole world know about the crime of this family, and let their family be nailed to the pillar of shame from now on. ”
Hearing Shi Jindi's shouting, an old man immediately shouted loudly, "I want to expose, I want to expose!" ”
The people in the audience followed the sound and saw an old man in his sixties walking up quickly.
The people I knew hurriedly said, "This is the fourth child at the head of the village!" ”
Zhu Laosi walked up to the wooden platform, picked up the wooden staff in his hand and hit Zhu Long.
Zhu Lao Si cried and shouted, "Zhu Long, you bastard, your family also has today, God really opened his eyes, let these heroes clean you up." Retribution! Retribution! ”
After a few beatings, Zhu Laosi, who was a little angry, shouted, "Engong, my family originally had four acres of land, and the days have passed." But Na Zhu Chaofeng took a fancy to my family's land, and insisted that my son stole their family's things and locked him in prison. Said to be sentenced to exile! ”
"I think my old man has only one son, and for him, the old man can only give the field to Na Zhu Chaofeng. But I didn't expect that Zhu Long, a brute who came to my house to harvest the fields, actually fell in love with my daughter-in-law and wanted to force and rape her. When my son stepped forward to stop him, he was beaten to death. My daughter-in-law was humiliated but hanged herself. I'm an old man who is struggling to catch his breath just to see your family's retribution. The sky has eyes! The sky has eyes! Hahaha......"
After slapping Zhu Long a few more times, Zhu Laosi knelt down and kowtowed Shi Jin three times. "Thank you Engong for avenging this great revenge for my old man, the old man has nothing now, but to give Engong the longevity card in the future, and pray for longevity for Engong day and night!"
Shi Jin hurriedly helped Zhu Lao Si up and said, "The old man doesn't have to do anything, my Liangshan hero does the right thing for the sky, so naturally I want to avenge the people!" ”
Those people who were seized by Zhu Chaofeng's family occupied the fields, forcibly bought and sold, collected rents and loans, and caused their families to be ruined, were infected by Zhu Laosi, and they were all indignant.
"I want to expose the crimes of Zhu Chaofeng's family!"
"My family's land was also occupied by Zhu Chaofeng's old immortal, and five acres of land only gave our family two taels of silver!"
"You still got two taels of silver, my family's three acres of land were robbed by their family, and they didn't even give me a penny, and they sent someone to beat me!"
"Pity my daughter, I just sold them a kiln!"
……
After collecting hundreds of people's grievances, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Jin was shouting from the chair, "After trial, Zhu Long's evidence is conclusive, and the crime is extremely heinous. The death penalty can be carried out, come on, drag this prisoner down, behead! ”
Zhu Long was so frightened that he wanted to escape desperately, but after kneeling all morning, his feet were numb, and he was still moving. plopped and fell to the ground, and was directly pulled up by Liang Shanjun.
Then the broadsword swung down, and the cold light flashed. Suddenly, a head tumbled to the ground.
The body fell to the ground on its side, blood dripping.
After killing Zhulong, Shi Jin shouted, "Fellow villagers, our Liangshan Army attacked this Zhujiazhuang in order to do the right thing for the sky. We don't want any of the property that Zhujiazhuang has taken from the people, and we will return it to you. Each household was given one stone of grain and rice, and five taels of silver. ”
Hearing Shi Jin say that all the property in Zhujiazhuang was returned to the people, and the people in Zhujia Village could get one stone of grain and rice and five taels of silver for each household.
They immediately happily sang loudly about the prestige of the heroes of Liangshan, and sang the name of Shi Jin, the nine-pattern dragon.
As for whether there are really so many treasures in Zhujiazhuang? They didn't dare to think about it, let alone question Shi Jin!
If the other bandits break through the village, they will burn and loot, and they will do all kinds of evil.
This Liangshan army has strict discipline and does not disturb the people.
This broke Zhujiazhuang, eradicated the bullies, redressed the people's grievances, and distributed food and property to the people.
What else is there to say and what is there to complain about.
This is definitely a first-class hero, and he is definitely doing the right thing for heaven!
