Chapter 90: The Consequences of Murder
The explosion of Lao Junguan, the whole warm water can be heard clearly. On the three poles of the sun, no one dared to go out, a few bold people lay on the crack of the door and looked out, and saw Lao Junguan still standing in the middle of the mountain from a distance, which showed half of his body.
I often haven't slept all night, for fear that someone will knock on the door suddenly. He was ready to abandon the city, it was not a foreign invasion. If a foreign invades, he will send his family away with righteousness, and then stand on the tower of the city and shout to live and die with the city. Even if you lose your life, you can fall into a national hero or something. If Liu Wen and Hou Jian led people to kill him, who knows what charges he will be charged after death.
Zhang Hu rushed into the study quickly, and before he could salute, he asked, "What happened?" Did you see it clearly? ”
Zhang Hu didn't know how to say anything when he was nervous, and he stomped his feet in a hurry. Chang Yuan hurriedly handed Zhang Hu a cup of tea, drank it dry in one go, and then said: "I saw clearly, Liu Wen and Hou Jian led people to rush into the Laojun Temple, and later, there was a loud noise in the Laojun Temple, the ground shook and the mountains shook, the villain didn't dare to go in, I don't know what happened, on the way back, I met Hawking with more than 100 people hurrying over, no matter whether Su Ren is alive or dead, a fire fight must be indispensable!" ”
"Oops! I don't know how many people will die now! A cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Quick, the whole city is under martial law, all the city gates are closed, and no one is allowed to leave the city!" ”
Zhang Hu agreed, turned around and ran out again.
Chang Yuan was silent for a long time: "Master, Zhang Tou just said that Lao Junguan made a loud noise, could it be Su Ren's ghost?" Last time, didn't Zhang Tou say that Su Ren knew how to demons, and a burst of fire drilled into the bushes, and the stones flew out of it, and he also injured several of Hou Jian's subordinates, and there seemed to be a loud noise. ”
"You mean......" Chang Shi thought for a while and waved his hand: "Demon law?" There is no magic in this world! If you want to have a demon law, what else is a businessman, just turn out the money directly, and save offending Liu Wen. ”
"But how do you explain that loud noise?"
"Who knows!" Often things are extremely irritable, and things don't come out for a moment, so he keeps worrying: "Don't care about irrelevant things, go to the back house to see how the preparations are, remember!" Can't let too many people know, if Liu Wen and Hou Jian return to the army, let's leave immediately! ”
Hawking left Laojunguan and felt inappropriate all the way. After settling down with his family, he prepared to come back alone, but was persuaded by Huo Qian and Leng Yue. waited until the second half of the night, and there was no news from Lao Junguan. Hawking couldn't hold it back, and said that he was going to see everything. After a long line of work, I met Gou Tianming, who came back from escorting the goods. After explaining the matter roughly, Gou Tianming was shocked, he couldn't take care of the caravan, beckoned the accompanying guards, took the blades, and the two hurried to Laojunguan.
I was in a hurry and walked fast. There were still five miles away from Lao Junguan, and a loud noise came, and the whole earth trembled, and Wenling seemed to be about to collapse.
"Brothers, hurry up, listen to this movement, it should be our old gentleman!" Gou Tianming shouted loudly, and the team immediately picked up speed and threw everything they could cleanly.
Su Ren sat at the gate of the courtyard and sat beside him coldly. In the courtyard, Hu Ji and the dozen or so guards were cleaning up the bodies. In fact, not many people died. The power of gunpowder is very ordinary and has not yet reached the level of firecrackers. Except for the sound of a little noise, the lethality is very average.
"Now the murderous reputation of our Lao Junguan will go out, and those people will be afraid of us when they see it in the future." Leng Jun glanced back at the bloodstains in the yard.
Su Ren rolled his eyes: "What is the murderous name of Lao Junguan?" This is obviously the manifestation of Lao Jun's grandfather, and he can't bear to be destroyed by Lao Junguan, and he will be punished by heaven, which has nothing to do with our Lao Junguan and a few of us! Listen to it, it's a heavenly punishment! Got it? ”
Hu Ji and the others nodded hurriedly, without saying a word, and sped up the speed of cleaning up.
smiled coldly: "Didn't you say that there are no gods and monsters in this world?" How can you say that it is punished by heaven? ”
"Hey! There should be a time to have it, people still have to have a little faith, although this thing can't be touched or seen, but it can purify the soul, make people have a kind of jealousy in their hearts, so as not to do anything unconscionable! You wait, after a while, Lao Junguan's incense will be a lot stronger, isn't it good to earn more money to honor Lao Jun's grandfather? You can also repair the statue of the old gentleman who was damaged by the way. ”
Leng Jun was completely speechless by Su Ren's words, patted his ass and left.
According to Su Ren's orders, the bodies of those soldiers were to be buried in the back mountain. But now I can't spare my hand, so I can only turn it out and place it on the steps first. If you want to wash away the blood stains in the courtyard, you have to wash them with water, and the basins of water are poured down, and they are mixed with the bloodstains, and they become a sea of blood.
When the sun rose above the top of the tree, Hawking led people to Laojunguan. Seeing Su Ren sitting at the gate, Hawking let out a sigh of relief and threw himself in front of Su Ren: "Big brother, are you okay?" What about Hou Jian? What about Hou Jian's turtle son? I'm going to kill him! ”
Gou Tianming glanced at the courtyard, his eyes widened, and he pointed to the mixture of blood and water: "This, this, why is there so much blood?" ”
"Don't get excited, it's a heavenly punishment! Hou Jian led people to destroy our Laojun Temple, Laojun's grandfather was angry, and sent heavenly punishment to kill some of Hou Jian's subordinates, and they were scared away! ”
"Heavenly punishment?"
Only then did Hawking notice the "sea of blood" in the courtyard, threw down Su Ren and went straight to the main hall, knelt three times and knocked nine times in front of the statue of Lao Jun in a regular manner, and put on the pillar incense. Walked out the door and laughed: "Yes! Hou Jian and Liu Wen, the two turtle sons, why didn't they get killed, Grandpa Lao Jun still relented, if I killed all of them, I wouldn't let him escape! ”
Gou Tianming looked at the blown up pit outside the gate, the blood stains next to him had not dried, and looked at Su Ren thoughtfully.
Su Ren smiled: "Why are you here?" Didn't you stay in Wuyang? What's going on over there? ”
Gou Tianming hurriedly said: "Everything is fine, I just escorted the goods back, I met Xiao Jinzi at the bottom of the mountain, and immediately followed, is this really a heavenly punishment?" ”
"Why don't you believe it? Why don't you ask Grandpa Laojun? ”
Gou Tianming hurriedly shook his head, walked to the dirt pit casually, and pretended to pee. Three or two feet wiped out the blood stains on the side, and kicked some dirt into the pit, filling the dirt pit.
Zhang Hu still didn't dare to approach Lao Junguan, and kept watching from afar. Seeing Hawking coming back with people, seeing the blood and water coming out of the yard, and seeing Su Ren standing outside the gate, he turned around and walked back. Speaking of which, he hoped that Su Ren would be fine, so that he could have extra money in the future.
Riding his own mule, no matter how much he whips, he always doesn't run fast enough. Rush to the city and shout to open the gates. The catchers and the people at the gate of the city stopped Zhang Hu,
Everyone was gossiping: "Open your head, how is this old gentleman?" How many people died? ”
An old man with snow-white hair separated the crowd and walked to the front: "Little Huzi, let me ask you, is there something wrong with Mr. Su?" ”
"Ah Gong, don't make a mess! The county is still waiting for me to return to my life! Let me tell you, Lao Junguan is good, Mr. Su is fine, this storm has passed! A dozen mules rushed out of the crowd and ran towards the county office.
The crowd jumped with joy. The old man was not displeased by Zhang Hu's rudeness, turned around and walked back with a smile on his face, muttering in his mouth as he walked: "Okay, it's okay!" ”
Often, things go back and forth. Everything is ready in the back house, just wait for his order, and leave the city immediately. Chang Yuan stood quietly beside Chang Shi, his two eyes moving back and forth with Chang Shi's footsteps. They were all waiting, waiting for the last news from Lao Junguan.
Menzi came in and reported: "County Zun, Zhang Tou is back!" ”
Chang Shi was anxious when he heard it: "When is this happening, there are so many etiquettes, hurry up and let him in!" ”
Zhang Hulong walked in a tiger, covered in dust, with a whip in his hand, with a smile on his face, he entered the door and hugged his fists: "County Zun, I'm back!" ”
"Tell me, what the hell is going on? Who won? ”
"I don't know who won......"
"Why are you still telling jokes!"
"But I saw that Lao Junguan was fine, and Mr. Su Rensu was standing at the gate, and streams of blood poured out of the courtyard of Lao Junguan, oh my God! The blood stained the ground outside the door red, and the sun shone red! ”
Chang Shi's eyes lit up: "This means that Su Ren won?" What about Liu Wen and Hou Jian? ”
Zhang Hu shook his head: "I didn't see it, maybe ......"
Chang Shi let out a sigh of relief, and his nervous expression eased: "God bless! Hurry up and prepare the car, I have to go to Laojunguan, bring some money, bring more, this Su Ren is really not simple, he can defeat Hou Jian's five hundred soldiers and horses! Oh, by the way, go to the back house and tell Madame, and say that everything is okay and it's all right! ”
Chang Yuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to prepare. There was not much time, and an ox cart slowly came out of the back door of the county office. The sign of the prefectural order is clearly hung in the most conspicuous position of the ox cart. Chang Yuan drove the car, often sat in the car with a smile on his face, and constantly dealt with the people passing by. Zhang ** followed behind him with his mule, with a sword hanging from his waist, like a bodyguard.
The people of Wenshui County have never seen the county lord like this, and they will take the initiative to greet them. One by one, as if they had seen a ghost, as long as they looked at themselves as usual, they hurriedly hid in the corners.
Chang Shi is very helpless: "It seems that the image of this county in the hearts of the people is not very good?" ”
Chang Yuan and Zhang Hu both shut up and did not answer.
Chang Shi laughed awkwardly twice, and asked Zhang Hu: "You said that there are streams of blood gushing out of the courtyard of Lao Junguan?" It seems that a lot of people have died, so many people have died, this county does check it, as a magistrate, he has the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people, the wicked must be punished, and the good people must also be praised. By the way, how many corpses do you see? ”
Zhang Hu had goosebumps all over his body, but he couldn't help but answer: "The villain didn't see the corpse, looking at the amount of blood, it is estimated that there are many dead!" ”
Chang Shi patted the small box containing money beside him: "Forget it, this county can only come up with so much, how much is a heart, no matter what, I have to ask for credit from the imperial court and for Mr. Su!" ”
