Chapter 423: Seeking Justice
"What, that damn bastard Xue Yong broke into a house last night and raped and killed an innocent lady!" In the early morning of the next day, a roar came from the back house where Zhang Shihui, the general of Zhaowu of the Chu army, had temporarily settled.
Zhang Shihui, who had just gotten up from the bed and was still a little hungover, glared at his eyes angrily, like an angry lion.
Seeing this, Zhang Yang, the commander of the guards, although his scalp was a little numb because of this, he still couldn't help but lower his head and carefully brought everything that happened last night to the original one.
"Last night, after Xue Yong got drunk, he had a color disease. forcibly broke into a private house, and wanted to use force on the lady he took a fancy to during the day. But I didn't think that the lady would rather die than obey, and the result was ...... As a result, Xue Yong killed the lady by mistake. ”
"Kill someone by mistake." Hearing this, Zhang Shihui glared angrily, and couldn't help but pant and paced back and forth in the room. Then he became more and more unable to suppress the anger in his heart, but in the end, he couldn't help but overturn the table in the room in front of Zhang Yang, the commander of the personal guard. "This shit-eating idiot, I'm damn grandma!"
Since De'an's defeat in the First World War, Zhang Shihui, who has always restrained his temper, once again burst into foul language.
However, at this time, no one dared to persuade Zhang Shihui to calm down. After all, since the establishment of the Black-clothed Army and its gradual development to the Chu Army, it is the first time that a high-level general of Qianhu's level has done such a bad thing.
And when such an "unprecedented" thing was done by his own generals, it is conceivable how angry Zhang Shihui was in his heart at this time.
"Damn! Damn it!! Damn it!!! A loud roar was accompanied by another crackling sound of porcelain shattering. Zhang Shihui, who was already angry with bloodshot eyes, looked back at the commander of the guards who had already knelt on the ground, and couldn't help suppressing the anger in his heart and asked, "Ah Yang, where is that idiot who eats shit!?" ”
"If you return to the master's words, you are in the front yard, and you are guilty of it." Zhang Yang, who was kneeling on the ground, sprinkled the cold sweat on his forehead and subconsciously answered.
"Front yard. Walk! Follow me to the front yard!! Hearing this, Zhang Shihui, who was angry, didn't care about anything else, and strode to the front yard in his nightgown.
"General, the sin will meet the general!" Angrily strode to the front yard, and as soon as he saw Xue Yong kneeling on the ground shirtless, he couldn't help but hear Xue Yong's voice with a trilling voice.
But it is Zhang Shihui who is angry that will be discouraged because of this. After he glanced at Xue Yong, who was kneeling on the ground shirtless, he looked around empty-handed, snatched the whip from the waist of Zhang Yang, the commander of the guards behind him, and couldn't help but walk quickly to Xue Yong's side.
"Fuck, you shit-bitch idiot and you have a face. I can't beat you fool today! As he spoke, he rounded the whip and whipped it on Xue Yong's body.
At this time, Zhang Shihui was in a state of anger, and Xue Yong, who was on the ground, was shirtless. So much so that a veteran soldier like Xue Yong, who had been in battle for a long time, couldn't help but scream.
"You fucking stupid thing, you don't think labor and management are embarrassed enough. I'm going to kill you fool today!" Xue Yong's two screams naturally couldn't resolve the anger in Zhang Shihui's heart so easily.
After whipping thirty times in a row, and Xue Yong was already unable to scream, Zhang Shihui gasped, and his anger gradually subsided.
"Dog, you've really disgraced the face of labor and management!" With the last blow, Zhang Shihui smashed the whip in his hand on Xue Yong's face.
At this time, Xue Yong, who was already kneeling on the ground, saw this, and naturally understood in his heart that if he didn't do something at this time, it was estimated that he would really be marched by Zhang Shihui. So when Zhang Shihui threw the whip in his face, the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
Xue Yong, who was whipped by Zhang Shihui and covered in blood, couldn't help but kneel in front of Zhang Shihui, crying and kneeling at Zhang Shihui's feet and begging: "General, the crime will be wrong." I beg the general to look at the past feelings, and forgive the guilty general this time.
The sin will promise the general that the sin will never dare again, never again! As he spoke, he also kowtowed to Zhang Shihui while crying. The force was so great that blood even came out of his forehead.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Shihui, whose anger had already dissipated most of it, couldn't help but dissipate the last bit of anger in his heart.
Then I thought of the great achievements that Xue Yong had made for Da Chu and their Zhang clan over the years. I was really reluctant in my heart, and Xue Yong died because of a woman he had never met.
So after being silent for a long time, Zhang Shihui sighed, looked at Xue Yong who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but scold: "You now, immediately roll me back to the military camp outside the city, without my military order, then you are not allowed to go!" Do you understand!? ”
"Yes, sin will obey. General Xie is extrajudicial, General Xie is extrajudicial! Hearing Zhang Shihui say this, Xue Yong really heard the fairy sound, and looked grateful.
Seeing this, Zhang Shihui still didn't give him a good look, waved his hand, and shouted angrily, "Get out", after letting Xue Yong leave here. He couldn't help waving his hand, summoned Zhang Yang, who was standing on the side, and instructed him: "Go, bring me a hundred taels of silver, go to the house of the murdered lady, and see if you can keep this matter private." ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Hearing Zhang Shihui's words, Zhang Yang hurriedly agreed, and couldn't help but retreat quickly with the silver taels.
……
At the same time, on the street outside the house of the murdered lady, a bunch of people had already gathered at this time.
"Hey, this lady of the Liu family is really pitiful. This is such a big girl, but it's just ...... Ay! Looking at the old couple of the Liu family who were crying because of their daughter's death in the courtyard, and a middle-aged neighbor outside the door, they couldn't help but sigh like this.
Hearing a long sigh from the middle-aged man in the neighborhood, another onlooker next to him couldn't help but say: "I heard that this lady was killed by a thousand-household official of the Chu army." This, isn't this Chu army very strict in military law, and it has not committed any crimes against the people. How, how did you do such a thing. ”
"Oh, the crows in the sky are as black as the crows. In these years, where is there an army that has committed no offense against the common people. On the side, a slightly cynical guy couldn't help but open his mouth like this.
"Hey, you're going a little too far. As the old saying goes, 'when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds', how can there not be one or two scum when there are so many people in the Chu army. But let's be honest, compared to other armies in these years, the Chu army is already very good. "This is a slightly sensible and impartial bystander.
However, when these passers-by were expressing their opinions and opinions on this matter at a glance, there was a neighing of horses, and several black-clothed knights couldn't help but part of the crowd and came to the gate of the courtyard, and at the same time, there were more than a dozen officials.
"Okay, okay, it's okay at home! What is lively here, it is all scattered for me, and it is all dispersed for me. "When the officials arrived, they began to greet and disperse the crowd that was gathering more and more.
And the knights of the Chu army who came on horseback turned over and dismounted at this time, and walked into the courtyard with a package and an old servant.
"Look, there's someone, it's time to settle this matter. Oh, I don't know what to do! After being pushed away, an idler who loved to watch the excitement still tiptoed to look over there, and then said so, unwilling to leave like this.
Hearing his words, the middle-aged neighbor who spoke just now said, "I guess I came here to burn the silver for the poor lady of the Liu family." After all, this kind of thing happened this year, and it wasn't always handled like this.
However, Lao Liutou is such a girl, and she is completely his lifeline. And this old willow head has a hard temperament, so it is estimated that he can't be private. ”
"I can't be private, I don't think so. This old willow is now an old desperate household, and he really wants to kill people to pay for his life and seek justice for his daughter! ”
"Oh, if you don't believe me, then take a look. I understand that old willow man, if you don't kill people to pay for your life, this matter is not over! ”
As soon as these words fell, the knights and officials of the Chu army who entered the courtyard with packages were actually driven out of the courtyard with wooden sticks by the old willow who had lost his beloved daughter and was already a little crazy.
"You butchers, bastards, want to buy my daughter's life with money, don't even think about it! Even if I fight for my life to get in, I must seek justice for my daughter! I don't believe it, there is no royal law in this world! Fuck off, fuck off!! "The thin old willow head was holding a wooden stick at this time, like a madman.
And Zhang Yang, the knights and servants of the Chu army who didn't dare to fight back for fear of hurting this old man, were scolded by Lao Liutou in front of everyone, and the expression on his face was also ugly.
"Old willow, damn it, don't be embarrassed. You are a daughter, it's not enough for the master to give you a hundred taels of buried silver, don't kick your nose in the face!! Zhang Yang and others should be decent, and they will not scold such a poor old man who has lost his beloved daughter.
But those officials don't care so much, they don't have much decency to speak of in the streets.
However, although the behavior of this official was despicable, when he shouted out one hundred taels of burned silver, he still surprised the bystanders around him and sighed loudly.
After all, in terms of the price of silver in this era, one hundred taels of silver is enough for a family of four to live for more than ten years.
So this money not only allows Lao Liutou to bury his daughter, but the remaining silver is completely enough for Lao Liutou to support his old age.
Therefore, in this way, some people feel that Chu Jun has handled this matter decently enough. Even a few people, on the contrary, felt that the old willow was a little too rigid. After all, in these years, a human life can be worth a few dollars.
Not to mention anything else, if someone can take out a hundred taels of dowry to their daughter, it is estimated that nine out of ten passers-by present will marry their daughter.
But again, people are different. Besides, this matter is not spread on those passers-by, they naturally don't care.
Therefore, for the official to say this, the old willow head howled angrily, and he had to hold the stick and fight with the officer.
Of course, such behavior was still stopped. After all, the servants who inherit their father's business are completely a group of local snakes. Lao Liutou is such an old desperate family, if he has a dead bond with them, then he will not be killed by others!
As for the half-dignified servant, at this time, he was rewarded with a big mouth by Zhang Yang.
Then Zhang Yang, who had a little fever on his face because of this incident, took people and left here directly. Anyway, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lao Liutou must want to seek justice for his innocent and tragic daughter. It would be a complete humiliation to continue to stay here.
And after Zhang Yang left here with a few Chu army knights and more than a dozen officials, the onlookers who had already dispersed couldn't help but gather here.
"Hey, old Liu, why are you bothering. People can't be resurrected after death, and if you continue to make trouble like this, what good end can you get? The middle-aged neighbor saw that Lao Liutou was bent on seeking justice for his daughter, so he couldn't help but persuade him like this.
As soon as the middle-aged neighbor spoke, the other people around him couldn't help but persuade: "Yes, Lao Liu." You are poor, how can you fight with others. You know, that's a thousand-household official, a serious adult. How can people pay for your daughter's life! ”
"yes, yes. Besides, even if you want to sue. At this time, the yamen side was not willing. After all, this Chenzhou Road has just changed the sky, how dare the yamen provoke others. ”
"Oh, not necessarily." At this time, the somewhat cynical person opened his mouth again.
"Heh, it's not like there are no good officials in the world. I think that in this matter, Lao Liu, you should go to Judge Wang, Lord Wang. In our Yuanling City, who doesn't know that Lord Wang is upright. Old willow, you go to Wang Zhengyang, Lord Wang, maybe you can get justice for your daughter. ”
"Hey, I said, you're deliberately stirring up trouble here. People are already dead, what can we do if we get justice, and can we still save people? Lao Liu listened to my persuasion, and took the buried silver that Chu Jun gave you, we still have to live this day. The middle-aged neighbor spoke again.
But at this time, where would the old willow who was bent on seeking justice for his daughter still listen to such advice.
At this time, he whispered, 'Lord Wang. Then he threw down the wooden stick in his hand, took his wife to push his daughter's body in a car, and rushed towards the mansion where Wang Zhengyang lived.
And along the way, there are naturally more and more onlookers behind them. Gradually, this matter became more and more troublesome.
"Lord Wang, please be the master of the small people! Please be the master of the small people!! After a while, Lao Liutou and his wife pushed the woman's body in a car, and knelt in front of Wang Zhengyang's house for no reason, crying and crying.
