Chapter 173: Whip Blood

Zhou Ning's warning obviously did not achieve the effect of letting Zheng and Hong withdraw from the competition, and both of them stepped forward and kowtowed, saying that the cow was indeed their own family, and it was by no means to rely on others. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well, if you can't recognize it, it's okay, if you are pure and rely on the king's law, you won't forgive." Although Zhou Ning is young, his aura is extremely powerful, even if he doesn't wear official uniforms, he has a kind of shocking power.

He was upright wearing a black gauze and an official robe, and there were three classes of officials standing neatly on both sides, which added a bit of majesty to this battle.

"Don't dare to lie to me, if you can prove that this cow is not mine, I don't want it to give it to me." Zheng Zhimin was the first to express his position.

Hong Xing then said: "It's my family's cow that I want, not my family's cow I don't want." ”

"Okay." Zhou Ning nodded and ordered: "You each go to drive your own cattle, the one on the left continues to the left, and the one on the right continues to the right." ”

Zheng Zhimin and Hong Xing got up and went to their own herd, each carrying a whip to drive the two herds of cattle in opposite directions, and the open space between the two herds of cattle became larger and larger.

Zhou Ning ordered someone to bring the old ox to the center of the clearing, and then gave an order: "Herd the cow!" ”

The official loosened the rope, raised his hand and whipped the old ox, and the old ox spread its hooves and quickly ran towards the herd of Hong Xing's family.

In an instant, the crowd was excited, and both the villagers of Mingyue Village and the people who came from Yunjiang County all shouted happily.

"The cow belongs to the old Hong's family."

"The cow ran over there, and the cow belonged to that family."

"The county lord is really a god."

"What is this? I've seen our county master count the tea bowls on the street, and more than 30 tea bowls have been broken into pieces, how many can you count, can you believe it? ”

"Of course it's true, I told you that I saw it with my own eyes that day......"

"What's that? I've seen the dog in the Chenghuang Temple of our county magistrate, dog, dog, the dog was stunned to find out the murderer......"

Lu Qing wrinkled his nose when he heard this, if it weren't for their excited praise of Zhou Ning, he would have to smoke it with a big-eared scraper, what does it mean that 'the dog found out the murderer'? How to listen to how it sounds like swearing.

Zhou Ning gave Lin Zhutou a look, and Lin Zhutou beckoned them all to come back. It is already self-evident who the old scalper is, Hong Xingle can't close his mouth, although Zheng Zhimin is not very happy in his heart, he has nothing to say.

Zhou Ning stood on the big bluestone, Baozheng of Mingyue Village gathered in front with the villagers, and the officials held water and fire sticks in their hands to prevent the crowd from getting too far ahead.

The rest of the people who watched the excitement were all gathered behind the villagers of Mingyue Village, and Zhou Ning could only see the black pressure of the human head surrounding him.

"Today's cattle fight case has been clarified, and the official immediately announced that this old cow belongs to the Hong family, Zheng Zhimin, can you be convinced?"

Zhou Ning's calm gaze swept over Zheng Zhimin's head, Zheng Zhimin was a little trembling, he didn't dare to say that the adult's judgment was unfair, and he was unwilling to pass by the joy of losing and regaining.

Zheng Zhimin hesitated for a long time before he said: "I take it." ”

Zhou Ning lightly hooked the corners of his mouth: "You are not convinced, you are afraid." You are obviously not convinced, I pronounce such a sentence, I will convince you. ”

Zheng Zhimin was so frightened when he heard this that he knelt down, he thought that the county magistrate was angry and wanted to hit his board, and the county magistrate clearly meant something more serious with him.

"My lord, I'll obey me." Zheng Zhimin was so frightened that he kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Zhou Ning waved his hand, and Lin Zhutou helped Zheng Zhimin up. Zhou Ning continued: "Do you think that the possibility of the old scalper running in either way exists? Do you think the Hong family is just lucky? ”

Where did Zheng Zhimin dare to answer the question? didn't even know whether to shake his head or nod, he just looked at Zhou Ning in a daze.

"Pull that cow out alone." Zhou Ning saw that Hong Xing pulled the cow out, and he ordered again: "Tie it to the tree." ”

The officials stepped forward to tie the old ox to the tree, and Zhou Ning commanded: "The crowd is dispersed, only from a distance and not close." ”

The officials and Mingyue Village Baozheng brought the people watching the excitement to a safe place, and Zhou Ning spoke again: "Now beat that old ox fiercely, and the whip will see blood marks." ”

"Yes." A five-year-old and three-thick servant rolled up his sleeves, picked up a long leather whip in his hand, and walked towards the old ox.

When Hong Xing heard Zhou Ning give such an order, he panicked, this is his own cow, what if the whip is broken if it is damaged?

Look at the servant's face full of meat, fat and strong, his whole body is full of inexhaustible strength, and the whip in his hand is thick and long, and it is shocking to look at it.

"My lord, I can't help it, don't beat my cow." Hong Xing ran out of the crowd, knelt down in front of Zhou Ning and began to kowtow: "My family's scalper has lost weight for so long, and he was beaten as soon as he came back, my lord, the cow didn't commit a crime, what are you doing with it?" ”

"Bold!" Lin Zhutou pointed at Hong Xing and shouted: "Guts to ask my lord, don't you want to die?" ”

Hong Xing is a typical offender, beating him five boards and ten boards, he has no place to scream. Zhou Ning kept his face calm and didn't speak, and Hong Xing was a little scared and didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Whose cow is distressed." I don't know who muttered a sentence in a lively whisper, and it was no coincidence that this sentence got into Zheng Zhimin's ears.

He woke up like a dream, and the adults were testing people. He hurriedly rushed forward, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting: "You can't fight, my lord, you can't beat the cow, I beg you to stop beating the old cow." ”

Zhou Ning was still silent, just silently looking ahead, the official walked to the old ox, raised the whip and 'snapped' down, the old ox roared like crazy, and its hind hooves kicked up, but it was tied to the tree and couldn't move at all.

"Don't fight, don't fight." Hong Xing stood up and didn't know who to beg for, he simply grabbed Lin Zhutou's arm: "Don't fight, you are so worried about listening to that cow's call." ”

Lin Zhutou shook him off vigorously, not to mention beating bulls, even if he beat people, he didn't know how many people he had beaten, he didn't kill anyone, he beat him half to death.

Lin Zhutou didn't have much compassion, and no matter how bad the cow barked, it couldn't move him.

Zheng Zhimin continued to kowtow to Zhou Ning, and said mechanically: "Don't fight anymore, I beg you not to fight." ”

'Pap', 'Pap', 'Pap' a whip is like a whip, the old scalper naturally screams badly when he is in pain, he can't run or dodge, and he has no other choice but to be tortured.

Neither Zheng Zhimin nor Hong Xing had the ability to stop the sentence. The onlookers didn't understand what the county magistrate was doing, did he really want to kill this old scalper and divide the beef between the two of them?
