Chapter 47: Guilt

Today is still the third watch......

At this time, in Chengyi Township, Wu Changjing, who was born as a savage, was also looking at the cloudy sky in the distance with a bitter face, only hoping that Haotian God could send a cold winter rain to make him sober.

Since he quietly recorded the recent situation of Chengyi on the bamboo piece and handed it over to the secret son of the gentleman Shuqi, Jing has been unpleasant to eat for the past few days, unable to sleep at night, and very conflicted in his heart.

In just a few and a half years since he arrived in Chengyi, he has witnessed the rapid changes that have taken place here.

The tall and thick stone wall in Chengli was carried by Zhao Bing, and it took several hours to smash a huge hole with a copper hammer and copper prying. The Cheng family, who dared to show the gentleman's face, finally took the blame for himself, just like this wall, and collapsed with a bang.

However, the clean-up after the destruction is a big problem, and it will take about half a month to rely on Zhao Bing and the villagers to carry it.

Then the gentleman ordered that the people of Chengyi Township could come and pick up the bricks and stones piled up at the intersection, and the gentleman did not ask whether to take them home to repair the well wall or go to the fields to build a thousand acres.

In the words of a gentleman, this is called "fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of the people", and everyone is confused and does not understand it at all.

Cheng took a lot of thought to build this "thief-proof" stone wall: the best stones from the nearby mountains were mined, and the crevices were filled with thick corn juice and earth slurry. So the people of Chengyi Township flocked to it, and everyone was like a crazy robbery, and as a result, in two days, the people of the township were all moved.

If it weren't for the Zhao soldiers to stop them, they might have rushed into the Cheng manor, which had just finished the funeral but was hung up again, cut down all the chestnut and peach trees planted on the roadside, and dismantled the door and took it away.

It was only then that everyone understood how terrible the "enthusiasm of the people" that the gentleman spoke of.

Just yesterday, Jing heard that the former township Sima Chengji died, it is said that he died very miserably, his skin was ulcerated, his eyes were pus, he vomited three liters of blood before he died, his tongue was bitten into a blurred flesh, but his mouth was still scolding "Naigong", "Cheap Son", "Er's mother and maid" and other foul words......

Everyone thinks that Cheng Ji got a cold disease after being buried in the soil overnight, but only after seeing the well where Cheng Wu, Yu Xi and others forcibly poured Cheng Ji's poison know that this is the back hand left by the gentleman. This gentleman, who was kind on the one hand and ruthless on the other, made him shudder a little.

But at least after this battle, the Cheng family didn't dare to find a subordinate concubine to be buried again.

Because the decree from the lower palace has been officially promulgated, not only Chengyi, but also the entire lower palace and five towns, in the future, will implement the family law of "stop obeying death" initiated by the gentleman. The scholars and the people of the country may not feel anything, or even slightly dissatisfied, but the well of a savage has a different feeling. One of his aunts, who had been brutally martyred by the lord's family a few years earlier, wept and grabbed the earth before the burial pit, and he remembered it vividly, and from then on, as a lowly savage vassal, the days of precariousness were finally over.

But the more a gentleman loves the people and cherishes the people, the more he pushes clothes and food to the well, the more painful and contradictory the well's heart becomes.

So as a military commander, he has been doing the work of an apprentice: he has been fighting to carry the armor and corn that the Cheng clan has privately hidden. On weekdays, he also trains the most seriously, and his unit even won the first place in the temporary examination school yesterday. Perhaps only fatigue can make Jing forget his betrayal, as if only doing more for the gentleman can make up for his guilt.

But he had no choice, because the lives of the whole family were in the hands of Jun Zi Shuqi!

On this day, when the well arrived at the treasury with the last batch of armor, he was stopped by Tian Ben with an evil face.

Tian Ben was wearing a military uniform, but he was wearing it crookedly, pressing the bronze short sword at his waist, although he became a two horses, but his temperament was still a prodigal and evil boy, not like an officer.

Tian Ben stopped the well that was busy, and said that the gentleman had summoned him to the village temple.

Jing sighed in his heart, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that that the gentleman knows about that matter!?" ”

Jing asked Tian Ben tentatively, but he glared at him angrily: "How do I know what the Lord has called you to do?" Just go quickly! ”

But as soon as Tian Ben saw the people of the Cheng clan going out in the past two days, he went to kick and find fault, blindfolded him with a cloth and used it as a mule and horse, or snatched his crown and hat to pee inside...... Then he was reprimanded by the gentleman Wuxian, saying that he had ignored the Cheng family and did not allow Zhao Bing to bully him for no reason, so Tian Bencai was in a bad mood.

Jing had to go to the village temple alone.

The township temple is next door to the treasury, and the gentleman did not relax his vigilance after the defeat of the Cheng clan, and he ordered his confidant Yu Xi to take light knights to patrol the periphery of Chengyi, and Mu Xia took one or two foot soldiers to guard the township temple. There are two Zhao soldiers guarding the entrance of the township temple, relatively upright, if other people come, they will not be carefully examined, but the well is a familiar face, the two casually asked a few words, and let him in.

Entering the temple gate, it is the courtyard of the second entrance, the outer courtyard is both wide and deep, the well passes the courtyard of the first floor, and passes through two Zhao soldiers sentry posts outside the gate of the second courtyard, only to reach the inner courtyard, and the middle of the courtyard is a hall with an eaves flying corner.

Tall and mighty, covered in three layers of armor, Mucha was like a giant statue, holding a halberd, silently but firmly guarding the door of the hall, he was the last barrier to defend the gentleman.

Jing stepped down the wood-paved hallway and nodded to Mucha, only to realize that there were already two pairs of shoes at the entrance to the lobby. He carefully placed his mud-stained leather shoes at the door, and sniffed his coat for any peculiar smell, then he sang a promise and walked in cautiously with his head down.

But I saw a gentleman with deep clothes and wide sleeves, with a black hair and a shirtless sitting in the middle of the hall, and the grandson of the township Sima Wang, and the top boss of the well, Yang Yurong, were on both sides of the seat. Seeing the well enter, their conversation suddenly stopped, and their eyes were focused on the well.

Jing was about to bow down, but he only heard the gentleman Wuxian with a smile on the corner of his mouth that he couldn't see, and said, "Jing can be regarded as coming?" I'm talking about you, you can, do something big! ”

Jing's heart sank, and he secretly said that his betrayal was indeed known by the gentleman who was discerning, don't look at the gentleman who is very good to Zhao Bing on weekdays, but he is ruthless when he treats disobedient people, such as Na Chengji. Jing knew that his behavior was already a hundred deaths.

He fell to his knees in the hall with a thud, and said with a loud bang, "Well is guilty! ”

This time it was Zhao Wuxian's turn to be stunned, he and the two people in the hall looked at each other and said, "What kind of crime do you have?" I mean, your Wu was number one in the stroke competition, and you are the most diligent on weekdays, and I have called you here today because I have something to say. ”

He casually pointed, "Well, you can sit on the seat over there first." ”

When Jing saw that he was not the one who had arrested him to ask for the crime, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought that he had heard it wrong, that he, a lowly savage, had a place in the hall?

He was moved, but hesitated for a while, but his boss said: "The Lord asked you to sit, you sit, what are you rubbing?" ”

Jing went to sit down on the seat at the end of the village hall, he only dared to touch his hips slightly against his feet, although he had envied this position countless times before, but now he felt like sitting on a brazier, and his heart was still terrified.

Since it's not about sin, what is it?

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations......
