Chapter 195: Military Attaché
Zhang Baisui "pounced" and fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Zhang Fu'an's little Yicheng, where has he seen this formation? Covered in chaff, trembling, unable to cry.
Admiral Zhang, General Yan and General Wang are all from the military, although they cannot be said to have experienced a hundred battles, but they are also common for bloodshed and death. Yan Zongbing half-squatted down, touched Zhang Baisui's neck, and his pulse was beating, and he probably just fainted.
Chu Yu was startled by the terrible voice just now, and pulled Cao Hao's sleeve with a little uneasiness.
Admiral Zhang and General Yan wanted to see what was going on, but the county lord and the forehead were still there, and they were quite embarrassed, and shouted again: "Ah! They didn't care about that much, and ran over with a little clasp of their wrists.
Cao Hao wanted to go over and take a look, but considering that Chu Yu was beside him, he turned around and wanted to tell Cao Song to send Chu Yu over first, but where was Cao Song's shadow in this look?
Although Mr. Wang stayed on Cao Hao's side, he rubbed his hands and stretched out his head to look in the direction where everyone left.
Cao Hao only felt that his palms were warm, and Chu Yu had already quietly grabbed his hand and said in a low voice: "Forehead, let's go and take a look!" ”
Cao Hao didn't want to respond, but seeing Chu Yu's worried look, he nodded.
Coaches, kitchens.
There was a mess on the ground, the rice noodles were scattered, and there were half-cut tofu and vegetables on the board. A woman in filial piety clothes was pressed in front of the stove, her clothes were torn off, revealing her snow-white breasts, and a man in his thirties rode on top of her, his face flushed, his eyes squinted, panting, his body swaying, doing the unspeakable.
The woman had a clear slap mark on her face, her expression was wooden, and her eyes were very empty, and she couldn't see any vitality. And in the corner, there was a little girl who was also dressed in plain white filial piety clothes, eight or nine years old, only trembling, with tears on her face and panic in her eyes.
When Admiral Zhang, General Yan and Cao Song arrived, this was the scene. Although when they heard the shouting, everyone had already thought that it was probably either a thief or a thief, but when they saw it with their own eyes, they were still annoyed. Admiral Zhang and General Yan took a step slower, and Cao Song had already stepped forward and grabbed the back of his neck and dragged the man up.
The man was tall and strong, full of wine, I don't know how many jars of wine he poured, but his hands were still unambiguous, although he was unexpectedly dragged up when he was interesting, but he reacted immediately, pushed Cao Song with one hand, pulled out the knife on his waist with the other hand, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn, Lao Tzu hasn't entered Beijing for three years, has the way of the world changed?" Little cub, dare to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs, look at Lao Tzu's abolition of you! ”
Cao Song let go of his hand and drew a knife out, although he wanted to chop this person up immediately, but he glanced at the humiliated woman, and saw that she seemed to be stupid, and she didn't know how to pack her clothes, so she was lying like that, with her breasts exposed, and her lower body was naked, and the scene was really embarrassing. Cao Song tore off his cloak, shook it off, and threw it over to cover the woman.
The man was annoyed and angry by the bad deeds, and slashed at Cao Song with a knife. General Yan on the side rushed up, he was also a good kung fu, snatched the man's knife empty-handed, and pushed the man to retreat a few steps diagonally, and asked sharply: "Who are you, so bold and reckless, that you dare to annihilate the silver woman?" ”
"Monkey cub, you ......" The man was halfway through his words, and his drunken eyes suddenly saw the official uniform on Yan Zongbing's body, and immediately stopped his voice, half of his mind woke up, and he hurriedly lifted his pants twice, gathered his clothes, hugged his wrists and laughed: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's this little girl who is greedy for money and deliberately seduces her brother!" ”
Mr. Yan snorted coldly: "Really? Since she is not from a good family, why is this woman still shouting for help? ”
The man hurriedly laughed and said, "This ...... It's the fuck that this pussy is greedy for money. The brother talked about three taels of silver, and when he came to the door, the dead girls actually had to double it again, and they didn't know how to lift! ……”
While talking, Cao Hao and Chu Yu also arrived, Cao Hao saw that the situation inside was unbearable, and immediately blocked in front of Chu Yu, and wanted to call Cao Song to come and send Chu Yu back.
The man had already seen Chu Yu, his eyes lit up, although he looked at the other party's rich clothes, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but his eyes were still glued to Chu Yu, and his expression was indescribably disgusting. Cao Hao was annoyed, glared at him, and opened his mouth to call Cao Song over.
Cao Song had already sensed that the woman on the ground was wrong, and these people didn't see the woman move, or tighten her clothes or anything, and their eyes were scattered. Hearing Cao Hao shouting at him, he hurriedly pointed at the woman and said to Cao Hao: "Brother, she, she seems to be dead!" ”
Wei Hei was following behind Cao Hao, and when he heard the words, he stepped forward to check, and then nodded to Cao Hao.
The man was just using the power of wine, and he was in a hurry for a while, and now he was bumped into by these people in official uniforms, and he was already a little panicked in his heart, and he barely squeezed out a little laughter, and said, "Who knew that this girl couldn't help it?" This is a shameful brother! ”
When the people heard him say this, they were even more annoyed, who would believe his nonsense! Admiral Zhang just wanted to open his mouth and ask someone to take him down, but it was not right to think about it, he was not the highest official position in his present, needless to say, the county lord's forehead was equivalent to Wu Yipin, one level higher than him. Therefore, he looked at Cao Hao.
Cao Hao asked Cao Song to come over and escort Chu Yu back with a cold face, and seeing Chu Yu's worried face, he comforted her in a low voice and watched her leave. Then he turned his head and glanced at the frightened little girl in the corner who was still trembling, and hated this man even more for letting such a young girl witness such a scene!
The little girl kept staring at the woman's body on the ground, her mouth opening and closing, as if she were muttering something.
Cao Hao walked over, and the little girl seemed to be very afraid, and immediately leaned into the corner of the wall in a panic. Cao Hao stopped a few steps away from her, slowed down his tone as much as possible, and said to the little girl kindly: "Don't be afraid, this person, is he lying?" ”
The little girl's tears rolled down her face, and she couldn't cry or speak when she was sobbing, but she was trembling in horror.
Cao Hao said seemingly casually: "That woman is really pitiful, she has to bear the stigma when she dies!" ”
At first, the man in the back just looked at General Yan and Admiral Zhang wearing official uniforms, and was jealous in his heart, but now he heard Cao Hao, a hairy boy in flat clothes, say this, he couldn't help but be angry, and just wanted to scold loudly, he heard the little girl in the corner of the wall spit out a sentence vaguely.
The first time everyone didn't hear clearly, but the second time it was real, the little girl repeated repeatedly: "Erniang...... Erniang didn't ask for silver...... I didn't ask for any money......"
Everyone looked at the man with cold eyes, full of disdain.
The man's face changed a few times, and finally laughed twice, not as restrained as Fang Cai, but instead straightened up and said: "This little hairy girl is framing her brother, don't take it seriously a few adults." My brother-in-law is the deputy general of Pingyang, and he also wants to be rewarded for entering Beijing, and he is a colleague. Hehe, I don't hide it from a few adults, my brother-in-law is not an ordinary person, the eighth master has always valued him, and he can climb up with other masters. Today is also fate, I have to meet a few adults, if there is anything that needs help in the future, just ask! ”
Regardless of whether he was bragging or not, but because of the mention of the "Eighth Master", it really made Admiral Zhang and them a little scrupled. When they came out of the capital, they naturally knew that it was a matter of time before the prince fell, and if there was a "virtuous" among the elder brothers, then the "eighth master" would be the crown prince. The fact that she offended the future emperor because of a mountain woman is not worth it.
The little girl seemed to have eased up, and no longer repeated the words of Erniang, and lost the fear she had before, and when she saw that several people were talking and ignored her, she trembled, and secretly crawled to the woman's corpse, and began to cry.
Cao Hao looked at the man and said coldly: "Whether your brother-in-law is a deputy general, or is valued by the eighth elder brother, what does it have to do with you?" On the law of the Qing Dynasty, which article says that the deputy general's brother-in-law can kill people without paying for his life? Even if the deputy general violates the law, he must also be dealt with according to the law. ”
As soon as he heard what Cao Hao said, he was about to scold with his neck and eyes: "Wu ......" As soon as he said a word, he was thrown over by Wei Hei's big-eared scraper, biting his tongue and unable to speak.
"Well played!" At this time, I heard someone clapping his hands at the door, and a man in his forties came in, with a straight face, and glanced at the man lightly.
The man's legs were weak, and he knelt down unconsciously: "Sister...... Brother-in-law...... I don't dare anymore, so spare me! ”
The middle-aged man looked at the man: "It's really strange, why don't I know when I was valued by the eighth master?" And what other masters can climb up? ”
The man kneeling seemed to be afraid that his brother-in-law would be afraid of it, so he stretched out his hand and gave himself two big ear scrapers, fanning them, and said, "Look at my stinky mouth, brother-in-law, don't you know me?" Ping said that he can pull the cowhide the most, which sentence can be taken seriously? ”
The middle-aged man ignored the brother-in-law, looked at the corpse of the woman on the ground, and then looked at the little girl crying next to him, and said: "This son is right, killing people pays for life, it is justified, and I will send you to Wuqing County tomorrow morning!" ”
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, my sister is just my brother, for the sake of the lost sister, you can spare me again! I don't dare anymore! The man no longer looked like a scoundrel before, and suddenly he began to cry like a child.
When the middle-aged man saw him so ugly, he couldn't help but tremble with anger, stretched out his hand and pointed at the man, wanting to scold him again, but finally felt bored, sighed heavily, turned around and hugged his fists like Admiral Zhang, and said: "Zuo Shiyong, the deputy general of Pingyang, Zhejiang, has seen three adults, and his family education is not strict, and he has disturbed several adults, and he is very ashamed." I didn't dare to show favoritism under the mark, and I said that I would send this beast to the county government for justice, and I asked a few adults to be a witness! ”
Admiral Zhang saw that although Zuo Shiyong was a little unruly, his face was full of righteousness, and he did not look like a person who destroys evil, and he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart. In this post station, there are many officials who have entered Beijing, if this matter reaches the ears of which imperial history, even if Zuo Shiyong does not favor this brother-in-law, at least the crime of "not governing the family strictly" will not be able to run, and in the end, let alone promotion, even this deputy may not be able to keep his grade.
Wang Zongbing saw that Zuo Shiyong only recognized the official uniform, and was afraid that Cao Hao would be embarrassed on the side, so he said: "Lord Zuo, this is the eldest son of Jiangnan Cao Weaving, the county lord Cao Ye." ”
When he heard "Cao Weaving", Zuo Shiyong's face showed a different color, and then he saluted Cao Hao with a little stiffness.
Although Cao Hao was not in the mood to deal with him, he still paid all the courtesies, and asked the little girl in the rear: "Do you have any other family members?" ”
The little girl was crying speechlessly, and footsteps were heard outside the door. Zhang Fu'an and Zhang Baisui's uncle and nephew led a few people over, and it was two and a half teenagers who supported a thin man, it was Chen Hongdao, the former governor of Qingyang Mansion, and his two sons, who arrived with Cao Hao and them.
Seeing the tragic condition of the woman on the ground, Chen Hongdao almost fainted. One of the two teenagers supported his father, and the other went over and picked up the little girl.
"How do you say this, how do you say this, why God doesn't have long eyes, this good person is not rewarded!" Zhang Fuan looked at the tragic situation of the Chen family, and he was also indignant in his heart, and couldn't help but whisper a few words.
Zuo Shiyong knew that it was the bitter master who had arrived, and his face was full of shame, so he hurriedly took two steps forward and arched his hand: "I'm really sorry, Zuo Mou has made amends to a few people here!" ”
Chen Hongdao closed his eyes, his teeth were fighting, and he couldn't speak, and the old man clenched his fists, eager to knock over the person in front of him at once, and said hatefully: "Everyone is gone, just say 'I'm sorry'?" ”
Zuo Shiyong didn't think it was angry, and said: "This pension money, Zuo Mou immediately asked someone to prepare, and he will send it later!" ”
"Phew! Who scarces your dirty silver? Is human life exchanged for silver? The young man looked at everyone in the room with a resentful face, glared at Admiral Zhang and the others, and scolded: "Officials and officials protect each other, there is no good thing!" ”
Cao Hao saw that the family, except for the sick and weak man, were all wearing filial piety clothes, and they had just experienced the pain of bereavement, and they had experienced this, and he couldn't complain that they were so resentful, so he silently lowered his eyelids at the moment.
Admiral Zhang and several people also saw filial piety, although they were dissatisfied with the young man's verbal collision, but when they came to see him, they valued filial piety; The matter of this woman again is really infuriating; Third, after all, Cao Hao has the highest taste here, and he didn't speak, who would dare to speak out? Therefore, several people remained silent, their eyes glancing at Cao Hao.
After the young man finished scolding, he said to Chen Hongdao: "Father, let's go back first!" ”
Chen Hongdao stabilized his emotions and shook his head: "Don't leave for my father, I don't believe that there is no justice in this world!" Speaking of this, his expression brought out a bit of fortitude, and said to Zuo Shiyong: "Chen Hongdao in Xiayi Prefecture, may I ask this adult, what is going on?"
