Chapter 0230: Assassination
The killer on the ground raised his neck with difficulty, glared at him and said, "If it falls into your hands, you will kill if you want to, needless to say, I will not say anything"
Lu Fei said in his heart: If he hadn't held you just now, Ling Dan would not have been able to restrain your subordinates for a while, and now that you are lying sideways, you are really the master who does not cry when you don't see the coffin. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Fei laughed, got up and sat back, and said, "Okay, backbone, I don't plan to ask anything from your mouth, just talk about your fate, no matter what reason you have, assassinating the court officials is a big crime, a heinous crime" He said while observing the faces of the killers.
The killers remained motionless, looking at death as if they were at home.
Lu Fei continued, "According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, you will all be sentenced to chopping, you should be familiar with this kind of death, a few years ago, the great eunuch Liu Jin who leaned towards the government and the opposition died under this kind of punishment, that miserable, a total of 3,3557 knives were cut before and after, and even the flesh on the bones was scraped clean, you said that this is the person who made the knife or the human life is hard, but don't worry, you are not as guilty as him, almost a thousand knives are enough"
At this time, several officials in the hall were drunk when they heard it, and a few of them also swallowed their saliva again and again, mentioning this punishment of a thousand knives, no one was afraid.
The face of the killer in the hall gradually changed at this time, but he still stood strong and unyielding.
Lu Fei smiled and continued, "That's it, in order to make you mentally prepared, I'll talk to you about this punishment today, do you know where to start with this knife?" Well, the first knife cuts off a piece of meat from the thigh and throws it into the sky, which also has a name, called 'sacrificial meat', and then the second knife, the executioner takes a knife to cut your eyelids and covers your eyes with this piece of drooping meat, the advantage of this is that you don't want your desperate and angry eyes before death to affect the executioner's knife skills, so that he can calmly take off a piece of meat from you, which also has a name, called ' Cover the eyes of the sky', and then it's your turn to cut the chest, the first day, only ten cuts, rest assured, this will be too early for you to die, feed you some porridge, stop the bleeding, yes, the next day, this is the next day......"
"Don't talk about it!" The leader of the killer lying on the ground couldn't listen anymore, and it wasn't a big deal to die, but it was more difficult to accept than killing a person when he talked about how he would die, and how he would die so loudly.
Not only him, but also the killers heard that their scalps were numb, and the composure on their faces turned to panic.
Lu Fei didn't stop, he slapped the shocked wood, stood up and said loudly, "The next day, the executioner will cut off your fingers, toes, and tear off your tongues, so that you can't shout if you want to cry out in pain, on the third day, only bones are left on your arms, and on the fourth day, disembowelment, take away your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and cut off your heads until the last knife, at this time, you are really dead."
"I beg you, don't say it again, don't say it again," the leader of the killers on the ground was about to cry.
Several killers knelt down with sad faces, "You can kill me with a knife now"
Lu Fei was even more proud, laughing, his eyes were like knives, and he said, "Don't worry, even if you are cut by a thousand knives, your sins are not finished, your wives will be sold by the government to Qinglou as slaves and prostitutes, your father and brother will be sent to the border to work as coolies, and your children will also be affected by you, half-dead in the distribution place, and will never come back, these are all because of you, what crime do they have to suffer like this, you say, do you think they deserve to die?"
Lu Fei made a quick crossbow call, saying that these hot-blooded men who had been on the battlefield were in tears, they could die by themselves, but no one wanted to even affect their families, and everyone knelt down in the hall together.
The leader struggled to support his body with his elbows, and said, "Lord Lu, one person does things and one person is responsible for everything, our lives are at your disposal, please don't affect our family."
At this time, Lu Fei changed his terrifying gaze like an executioner just now, and said kindly, "I can't help you, the law of the Tang Dynasty is there, but you can also not die, and your family doesn't have to be affected by you, this official will show you the way."
All the killers set their eyes on Lu Fei together.
Lu Fei said unhurriedly, "According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, those who act on public orders and violate the king's law will be given a light sentence as appropriate, I don't know if it will be useful to you, whether it can save your life and the life of your family."
When the leader heard this, he slowly lowered his head, and his heart was entangled.
There was a moment of silence in the lobby, and finally the leader spoke, "All right, my lord, I say"
……
The morning sun of this season is also a little scorching, but this does not affect the joy of the two brocade guards in flying fish suits who are hurrying away.
got the testimony of the killers, which gave Yang Shu, Yang Lin and the two brothers a reassurance, this is more effective than the emperor's holy decree, this is criminal evidence, ironclad evidence, the gains and losses of the investigation officials are within the responsibility of Jinyiwei, and if you want to find out whether General Zhang is really helping King Ning to transport bribes to Liangjing, this is the best starting point.
The two of them took the testimony of the killers, excitedly dispelled the sleepiness of this sleepless night, and rushed to the post house triumphantly, as if they had seen the glorious days when they became famous and were valued by the emperor.
Lu Fei was also busy all night, exhausted, and was about to go back to the Houya to take a nap, but he was a little worried, Zhang Rake was extremely vicious, and there were thousands of people in his hands, in case he learned that the holy decree dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and sent a large army to besiege Susong, which is impossible to prevent, Susong City has no soldiers to resist the enemy, the only thing that can be regarded as a team is that only the righteous army of about 300 people can comfort a little, so Lu Fei asked Zhao Bantou to secretly deploy all the 300 righteous troops around the county government in case of accidents, and let Li Shun go out of the list to calm the people and tell the people of the county, The mountain bandits have been calmed down, everyone doesn't need to be frightened, and then let Li Shun secretly spread the news, saying that the green-shirted man has sincerely returned to the imperial court, and now he is drinking and talking with the county master in the county office, so that her scattered subordinates If they report to the county government within ten days, Lu Zhixian will not blame the past and treat them as ordinary people.
After such an order, Lu Fei dragged back to the back office with heavy steps, waiting for the good news that the two brocade guards would take down Zhang Razi, the side of the couch did not allow others to sleep peacefully, Zhang Rake lived in Susong for a day, and he was not comfortable with the county for a day, from using Zhang Rake to get rid of the Hu steward of the Junma Mansion, and using King Ning to suppress Zhang Rake, this did not make Lu Fei anxious, but fortunately, the day of closing the net was finally coming.
When Lu Fei came to the back office, he remembered that Ling Dan was still recuperating in Yun Niang's room, and his footsteps involuntarily moved over, and when he appeared outside Yun Niang's house, he saw Ling Ning sitting on the threshold, looking at the low courtyard wall in front of him with tears on his face.
Lu Feifei quickened his pace and walked over, squatted beside Ling Ning, held Ling Ning's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”
Ling Ning slowly turned his head and sobbed softly, "Sister is gone, sister is gone"
When Lu Fei heard this, he pushed open the door and rushed in, "Ling Dan, Ling Dan"
In the room, only Yun Niang sat by the window without saying a word, and when she saw Lu Fei rushing in, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't look for it, she's gone."
Lu Fei still didn't believe it, stubbornly rummaging through all corners of the room, he didn't believe that Ling Dan would go, why should he go, where could she go to a woman, where would she go.
Yun Niang walked over and pulled Lu Fei's arm and said, "Xiaofei, don't look for it, she is really gone, she left before dawn"
Lu Fei brushed Yun Niang's hand away, and his tone was a little heavy, "Why, why did she leave, what did you say to her?" Did you let her go, Yun Niang, why can't you tolerate her, in order to save me, her feet were worn out, and for my recruitment, she almost died in the chaos, you don't know this"
Yun Niang had already told Lu Fei that Ling Dan would never stay in the county office, she was an important criminal in the imperial court, and she was the target of execution both openly and secretly, and staying in the county government would bring disaster to Lu Fei, and only Yun Niang would have such a scheming to see the danger of Ling Dan.
After listening to Lu Fei's complaints, Yun Niang didn't speak, turned around and sat back by the window, she calmed Lu Fei down for a while, and then slowly spoke, "Lord Lu, is Yun Niang such a mean woman in your heart?" Am I so selfish? You're right, I had some words with her, but the road was chosen by herself, and no one forced her, so what did I say those words to her for? What's in it for me? Lord Lu, I owe you a favor, in this life, I only hope to serve tea and water to you, don't dare to have any extravagant hopes, you fancy any woman, Yun Niang is not qualified to say anything, but Yun Niang can't watch her even hurt you and herself, Ling Dan killed Susong County Cheng, this is smearing the court, smearing the emperor, do you think you can keep her, she stays in this emperor and doesn't even have to look for it, she can kill if she says kill, Jinyiwei is in Susong, if the emperor knows that the bandit leader of the mountain is by your side, what will the emperor think? ”
Lu Fei was also angry, "But the emperor has promoted me to an official and approved my recruitment, which shows that Ling Dan is now the emperor's people, the people of the Tang Dynasty, why can't he be by my side"
Yun Niang smiled bitterly, "My lord, what you think is too simple, this is just a trick by the emperor to appease people's hearts, killing the head and pardoning him, it has been no different since ancient times, okay, my lord, if you think that Yun Niang's words forced Ling Dan away, I have nothing to say, Yun Niang is gone."
Saying that, Yun Niang walked straight to the closet next to the bed, took out a bag that had been packed up a long time ago, put it on her shoulder, turned around and squatted down to Lu Fei and saluted, "Lord Lu, Yun Niang thank you for taking care of you these days, your kindness Yun Niang will remember it in your heart, when Ling Dan leaves, I will bring you a word, she is going, the vast sea of people, I don't know when and what month I can come back, she entrusted her sister to you, she said that she has no chance to watch you get married, but she believes that you will definitely keep your promise and take care of Ling Ning, okay, Yun Niang should say, I've said everything that shouldn't be said, and I'm leaving."
Lu Fei was stunned for a moment, it seemed that Yun Niang had long expected that Ling Dan would be angry with her as soon as she left, and even the burden was ready, this was really going to go.
Ling Ning, who was sitting at the door, hurriedly ran in, pulled Yun Niang's arm in, and said to Lu Fei, "My lord, you misunderstood the eldest lady, my sister came this time to resign from me, she didn't plan to stay, it's none of the eldest lady's business, you can't drive her away, the eldest lady wants to leave, I, I will also go with her, find my sister"
Yun Niang smiled and patted Ling Ning's hand, "Good sister, you can't go, you and Lord Lu have a marriage contract, if it weren't for General Zhang's army, you would have already been in the cave room, you have to recognize me as a sister, after I leave, you will stay here and take good care of Lord Lu, and it can be regarded as repaying my kindness."
Lu Fei slapped his head, spread his hands, and said aggrievedly, "What, what, when am I going to drive you away, two eldest ladies, can you not make a mess, I'm just in a hurry, Ling Dan has a foot injury, maybe the Jinyi guards are staring at her, go at this time, it's more auspicious, I haven't even caught up with a chance to say goodbye."
Saying that, Lu Fei walked to Yun Niang with a smile on his face, and reached out to pull the burden on her shoulders, "Yun Niang, I'm really not angry with you, your prime minister can support the boat in his belly, don't go to my heart, I also understand Ling Dan's matter, but I can't accept it for a while, but I really don't mean to blame you, who are you Yun Niang, that's my female Zhuge of Zhixian County, I don't feel at ease if I don't see you for a day, how can you go?"
Ling Ning's face was a little unhappy when he heard this, "What about me?" When my sister left, she entrusted me to you."
Lu Fei's face was distorted, "Ouch, auntie, don't follow the coaxing, okay, you are all important, all important"
Yun Niang actually wanted to leave a long time ago, her intelligence has made her arrogant, since Lu Fei has a marriage contract with Ling Ning, it is just around the corner to become the main room he is marrying in the future, even if she Yun Niang stays here, at best, it is only a side room, Yun Niang's heart can't accept it, these days in the mountains with Ling Ning, the two are very close to each other, Yun Niang sympathizes with this girl whose background is more pitiful than herself, and now even her only sister has fled away from the desk, how can Yun Niang bear to be jealous with her, all Yun Niang is determined to leave, Fortunately, I still have relatives to run to.
Yun Niang took Ling Ning's hand and said with a smile, "Good sister, don't listen to her nonsense, there is just kindness between me and Lord Lu, my sister can see that Lord Lu is sincerely fond of you, he is a good person, he will make you happy, take care"
Lu Fei anxiously slapped Yun Niang's shoulder, "Yun Niang, don't make trouble, okay, no one here wants you to go, and I don't want you to go."
Yun Niang had made up her mind, and saluted again, "Take care, adult" and walked to the door.
Ling Ning also knew the seriousness of the situation, so he hurriedly ran over and grabbed Yun Niang's arm, "Miss, don't go, okay?" As soon as my sister left, the girl didn't even have a relative by her side, here, you are my own sister, the girl is not blind, nor is she a fool, I can feel the feelings between you and Lord Lu, rest assured, my sister helped me make a marriage contract, the girl does not agree, if you can be with the adult, the girl is willing to be a messenger by your side, serve you, the eldest lady, the girl is a wild girl in the countryside, not worthy of an adult, and you are the eldest lady of the official family, knowledgeable and courteous, and can help adults everywhere, The adult should marry you, eldest lady, don't go, the girl is sincere" In the end, Ling Ning was already half crying and half talking.
When Lu Fei heard these words, he didn't know whether he was happy or worried, and Ling Ning's generosity impressed him.
Yun Niang listened to Ling Ning's words, and her heart was not a taste, she was not as full of sage books as she was a child, but she was not as big as a girl in a mountain village, which made her a little embarrassed, and it was easy for people to be arrogant and arrogant when she learned more about this thing, and her heart was high, and Ling Ning didn't know a few big words, but this was a clever move to retreat as advance, maybe she didn't find it herself, this made Yun Niang in a dilemma, if she insisted on leaving again and again, it would obviously be lower than Ling Ning in terms of belly, if she didn't go, It also makes people feel that she was moved by Ling Ning's initiative to make Xian, and no matter how she chooses, she is at a disadvantage.
When a man moves his true feelings, he is unprecedentedly smart in the blink of an eye, and he can stage various programs to make girls happy for 365 days.
The love story between the great poet Lu You of the Southern Song Dynasty and the poignant and poignant daughter Tang Wan of the famous world is well-known, the two childhood sweethearts and two little guesses, and finally became dependents, but the good times did not last long, a couple of newcomers were separated by Lu's mother, many years later, the children of the Lu poet met the former first love, which evoked the good memories of his youth, and wrote the poem on a courtyard wall that has been passed down through the ages: red hands, yellow vine wine, the spring palace wall willows in the city; The east wind is evil, and the joy is thin. A cup of sorrow, a few years away; Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Spring is as old as ever, people are empty and thin, and tears are red and silky; The peach blossoms fall, the idle pond pavilion, although the mountain league is there, the brocade book is difficult to trust, Mo, Mo, Mo.
When Tang Wan saw this poem, the talented woman who had already been another woman's wife cried, and also wrote a poem: The world is thin, people are evil, and the rain sends the dusk flowers to fall. The wind is dry, the tears are remnant, I want to write about my heart, and I have a monologue oblique column. Hard, hard, hard.
People are different, today is not yesterday, and illness is often like a swing. The sound of the horn is cold, the night is dark, I am afraid of people asking questions, and I pretend to be happy with tears. Concealment, concealment, concealment......
After that, a generation of talented women died of depression and grief.
In Yun Niang's heart, her emotion for Lu Fei is full of infinite longing and surprise in the future, there must be romance before and under the moon, there must be the joy of Xiao Biesheng's newlywed, and there must be endless lingering compassion for you and me for a long time, this kind of love cannot be shared with other women, but Ling Ning is not, her idea is simple and practical, marrying a man, dressing and eating, this is a country girl's most innocent idea of marrying, even if the man has three wives and four concubines, she is willing to accept it, and capable men will do this.
Lu Fei heard that Ling Ning was going to take the initiative to quit, this is not good, he understands Yun Niang, although Yun Niang is in the middle of the family, but her heart is high, she will never accept Ling Ning's concession, and if she can't get the cruel words, there will be no room for redemption.
Thinking of this, Lu Fei suddenly clutched his chest and lay down on the ground, letting out a miserable pain sound from his mouth.
"Ouch, no, I was kicked by the killer last night, and now the internal injury has occurred, ouch, Yun Niang, quick, get a pen and paper, let me write a few last words, ouch, forget it, it's too late, I'll dictate it"
Just when Yun Niang was in a dilemma, Lu Fei's appearance immediately attracted the thoughts of the two women, and they ran to Lu Fei's side together, helping Lu Fei up with distress and concern.
Yun Niang said, "Xiaofei, what's wrong, what's uncomfortable?"
Ling Ning was flustered, "Adult, adult"
Half an hour later, Lu Fei swaggered out of Yun Niang's room, and let out a long breath, hey, the backyard is finally stable, a woman has a hundred ducks, and now these two women make it difficult for him to deal with, if Ling Dan comes back in the future, what will this county yali look like, Lu Fei grinned and escaped.
It was almost noon, and Lu Fei, who had just been stunned for a while in the shade of the garden trees, was awakened by Master Li's eager footsteps.
……
Lu Fei opened his eyes and saw that Ling Ning was sitting on the edge of his recliner, gently fanning the wind for himself, that thoughtful appearance made Lu Fei feel distressed and grateful, he took Ling Ning's hand, took the pu fan in her hand, and said softly, "Girl, go and walk on the street with Yun Niang, buy a few new clothes and jewelry, here, you are not a subordinate, and you are no longer the country girl, you are the daughter-in-law of the county master of Susong County, go ahead."
Ling Ning smiled shyly, "Yes, my lord" got up and left.
Li Shun walked over and greeted Ling Ning who was about to leave with a smile, "Ling girl!" ”
Lu Fei waited for Ling Ning to walk away, and slapped a fan on Li Shun's head, "Master Li, Master Li, you are also a person who knows books and etiquette, be polite to my woman, Ling Yatou is also called by you, you have to call Mrs., Mrs. County Master"
Li Shun smiled, "The eldest lady or the second lady?" ”
Lu Fei slapped him with a pu fan again, "Poor, poor, right, say, what's the matter with me in a hurry?" ”
Li Shun remembered that he still had something important to say, so he changed his smile and said anxiously, "Master, those two brocade guards are here again, saying that they are looking for you urgently."
Lu Fei lay down in a rocking chair, swaying back and forth, "What's the matter?" ”
Li Shun said, "I heard that Gonggong Zhou has been drunk since last night, and he can't wake up no matter how he screams, and the two brocade clothes and guards have not been broken, so I came to discuss with the master."
Lu Fei jumped up from the chair when he heard this, "This old eunuch, why are you pretending to be dead, I'm still waiting for him to deliver the decree."
Li Shun said again, "Who said no, sir, if this holy decree is not issued for a day, you will not be able to live in peace for a day, today it has just been confirmed that eighteen bandits were killed by him, and if it is issued like this, within three or five days, master, if you want to set up an ore factory in the future, there will be no available people."
Lu Fei threw away the pu fan and shouted at the back ya, "Yun Niang, help me bring the official uniform, I want to see what tricks this old eunuch is playing."
Not long after, Yun Niang took the official uniform and hat, and said while dressing it for Lu Fei, "Xiao Fei, Gonggong Zhou is a person around the emperor, you must be careful, he came to Susong to have no power dispute, and no faction benefits, this time he suddenly used an excuse to delay time, and nine times out of ten it has something to do with General Zhang."
