Chapter 10 The Yamen Shouts Grievances

Li Huaizhu picked up Wu Lai and said softly: "Wu Lai, as long as you honestly tell the whereabouts of my second brother, I will spare your life." ”

Wu Lai sent assassins to assassinate Li Ergongzi by Wu Chenggong last night, and the two young ladies recounted the incident of rescuing him from the back wall in the early morning, up and down, and finally said: "Auntie, if you don't believe me, you can follow me to the backyard wall to find out." ”

Li Huaizhu followed Wu Lai to the backyard wall to take a look, and sure enough, there were traces of the second brother here, and there were twenty taels of snowflakes and silver. He picked up the silver and muttered, "It seems that this is the silver that the second brother accidentally dropped when he jumped off the wall and broke his pocket." Thank God, the second brother is still alive. What a Wu Chenggong dog thief, you are really a fowl. It's not as good as a beast! Fortunately, the second brother had a big life, otherwise he would have been killed by this thief. Speaking of this, Li Ye burst into tears like rain, knelt on the ground with a "grunt", kowtowed three times to Lijiazhai in the north of the city, and said: "Mother, forgive your son for being unfilial!" The child has a big disaster, and he can't go home to affect you and his second brother, so he can only go to another country and find another way. When the child has a bright future one day, I will definitely come back and be more filial to you. Wu Yueying, you and I have now formed a deep hatred, even if we miss everything, we have no fate. The debt that the surname Li owes to you in this life can only be repaid in the next life. With that, he stood up and turned to leave.

"Auntie go slowly." Wu Lai saw that the eldest prince Li was depressed, he had mixed feelings, and he was very sympathetic, he clenched his fists and shouted: "You are now dressed as a flower, and you have no travel expenses, how can you go to a foreign country?" In my opinion, your father-in-law's family is ruined anyway, and there is no future, why don't you bring some silver taels, change into a few good clothes, and ride a tall horse, so that walking on the road is comfortable and decent, isn't it beautiful? ”

As soon as Li Huaizhu heard the reason, he said in his heart: "People like Wu Chenggong who have lost all their conscience and have done all kinds of evil should let him get the retribution he deserves." Hmph, I don't want his silver for nothing. Thinking of this, he followed Wu Lai into the dark room, took two gold bars, two gold bricks, five hundred taels of snowflakes and silver, came out and changed into a set of fine clothes, brought water bags and dry food, entered the armory and chose a cherry blossom gun, and pulled out a tall horse from the trough. Mr. Li sat on the saddle bridge, clasped his fists and shouted: "Brother Wu Lai, your great kindness, Li Mou will report it one day." ”

Wu Lai waved his hand and said: "Uncle, you don't have to be polite, it is natural to do chivalrous things, and besides, I am just a favor." Hurry up and get out of trouble, it's too late to leave. ”

Li Huaizhu leaned over and patted Wu Lai's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother is precious, Li is also gone!" Then he urged the horse to gallop out of the Wu Mansion like an arrow, and kept running towards the road, thinking: "Where should I go after such a catastrophe today?" I don't know when I will be able to reunite with my mother and second brother! Just when Li Huaizhu was very sad, he suddenly remembered something and said to himself: "By the way, I can go to Merlot Town to join my relatives first, and let Master and his old man show me a clear way." The plan was decided, and Li Ye rode his horse and galloped eastward.

In Luoyang City, the shops are shouting and shouting, and pedestrians are walking back and forth on the streets.

Wu Chenggong filled a pot of fine wine from a shop, and bought a pack of extremely toxic broken intestine powder in the pharmacy, rode on a horse, cranked a folding fan, hummed a small song in his mouth for a while, and said secretly: "Yesterday, I used a little trick to kill Li Ergongzi, and now the eldest prince will definitely come to the house to find his younger brother, and when the time comes, you only need to be in the wine and **, this Li Dagongzi will naturally be unable to escape death." Hmph, as long as the two sons of the Li family are wiped out, my Wu Chenggong will have a bright future, and I will have peace of mind. The old thief triumphantly patted on his head and continued: "How could my father and mother give me such a smart head? Hahahaha...... "Wu thief was complacent, thinking that his clever plan was seamless. Unexpectedly, when he returned home, he found that the courtyard was full of corpses, rivers of blood, and a mess, and he was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky.

"Report ...... Outside, it's not good! Wu Lai ran out of the front yard with tears in his eyes.

The member successfully walked up to Wu Lai and asked, "Wu Lai, what happened in the mansion and why is there such a tragic scene?" ”

"Outside the staff, black letters are written on the red paper, and something strange has happened in our house. In the early morning of this day, Li Huaizhu, the eldest son of Li Jiazhai in the north of the city, suddenly came to the house to look for his second brother, I said that I had never seen the second son, and he asked me who else was in your family, and I said that there was only my little master and the second wife. Wu Lai thought for a while and continued: "Who knew that the eldest prince suddenly pulled out a knife from his sleeve and ordered me to call the little young master back quickly, I was scared, and hurriedly ran to call the little young master to the living room." ”

"What happened then?" Wu Chenggong asked worriedly.

The two of them had a verbal dispute in the negotiation, and they started to fight, and the two sides were fighting, and the little young master was ...... He ...... "Wu Lai wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"How's he doing?" Wu Chenggong had a wit in his heart.

He ...... He was unfortunately thrown to his death under the shadow wall. Wu Lai wept bitterly.

"What? He's dead? Wu Chenggong shuddered up and down.

Wu Lai added: "After the young master fell to his death, the second wife also killed herself. ”

Wu Chenggong asked, "Then who else died?" ”

Wu Lai said slowly: "The two generals of our family learned that the little young master's mother and son were killed, and they led more than 80 thugs to surround Li Dagongzi in the middle, but unexpectedly, Li Huaizhu was strong in martial arts, and the thugs were not able to defeat him, and more than 70 people were killed, and a few people escaped with serious injuries. Our general Cao Batian also died at the hands of Li Huaizhu, and Kong Hong fled. This is what happened in the past, and the villain didn't dare to have half a lie. ”

Wu Chenggong was shocked when he heard this, tears rained down, and hurriedly ran to the shadow wall to take a look, Aiko's brain burst out, and he died tragically on the ground, blood still flowing. He picked up his son's corpse, wailed angrily, and said, "Son, you died so miserably! Whining...... It's bad for the father, and he killed you! God, you are so ruthless enough to kill people, you have cut off a single seedling of my Wu family so quickly. Whining...... Since ancient times, harming others and harming oneself, my Wu Chenggong is really retribution......"

"Old man, don't cry young master, I slept in the middle of the night yesterday, and my two young ladies were gone." Han Ying ran over crying and said.

Before Wu Chenggong didn't return home, Wu Lai and Han Ying had already thought of countermeasures and rehearsed their words several times. As a servant, you must be careful in front of these squires, as the slightest mistake will lead to death.

"What, your two young ladies are gone?" Wu Chenggong was in extreme pain.

"Exactly!" Han Ying wiped away her tears.

Wu Chenggong put down his beloved son's body, stood up, a look of despair appeared on his painful face, and said: "It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the disaster is not a one-way street, is this the retribution of my Wu Chenggong?" He clenched his fists fiercely and sneered: "Hmph, Li Huaizhu, you are ruthless enough, I will make you pay for your blood debts and blood, and you will die without a full corpse." Since ancient times, singles don't suffer immediate losses, I can't let my son and wife die in vain, I want to go to the prefect's yamen to beat the drum and shout grievances, and let the Li family bury them. So saying, he turned around and got on his horse to go to the yamen.

"Outside the old man, your family is now ruined, the trees are falling and scattered, we have to find another livelihood!" More than a dozen family members came over to block the way.

"What, are you going to leave?" Wu Chenggong's heart was like a knife, and the pain was uncontrollable.

Wu Lai said categorically: "We all have to go back to be filial to our parents, and we can't guard your house." Saying that, she and the maids left without even asking for wages.

Wu Thief watched everyone go away, the whole house was empty, his face turned blue with anger, and tears of sadness rolled down his chest.

This is really good and evil. Wu thieves failed to harm people, and the families who fell back were ruined and killed, which was extremely miserable.

Precisely:

If you are rich, you will kill yourself,

Spread the good and the righteous are famous.

Outside the prefect's yamen, two stone lions squatted on both sides of the gate, and a vermilion wooden frame was placed on a cowhide drum, and there was no one guarding the door.

Wu Chenggong tied his horse, walked to the door of the lobby, beat the drum, and shouted: "Master, I have been wronged, wronged......"

The name of this Henan prefect is Duan Baiqing, and he is nicknamed "Broken". This person was reckless and arbitrary in solving cases, just because his daughter married Liu Yulong, the son of the general Liu Kun under the crown prince, as his wife, and was promoted to the prefect of Henan.

Hearing someone beating a drum outside the hall, Governor Duan shouted: "Officer, see who is beating the drum outside the hall, and ask him if he complains or presents a complaint, whether he is in the city or in the countryside!" ”

The official came to the door and shouted, "Who beats the drum in the morning, and my lord asks you whether you are in the city or in the countryside?" ”

Wu Chenggong said angrily: "I am a member of Wujiazhuang in the south of the city, my name is Wu Chenggong, my family is dead, I don't have time to write a complaint, I am complaining to the court." ”

The official ran back and reported to the lord.

Governor Duan gave an order, and the three classes of officials ran into the lobby in a line, standing on both sides. There was a master standing in the hall, and the prefect of Duan threw off his robe and sat down, patted the hall wood with his hand, and shouted: "Take the drummer to the hall......"

Wu Chenggong walked into the court, knelt down, wailed, and said, "Master...... Which villain is wronged...... You've got to call the shots for the villain......"

The prefect shouted: "Wu Chenggong, you don't have to cry, if you have any grievances, just say that you know with the master, and the master will be the master for you!" ”

Wu Chenggong wiped away his tears and said: "The old man is good, wait for the villains to come one by one." Just because my two daughters were allowed to marry the two sons of Li Yinglong in Lijiazhai in the north of the city, unexpectedly, the Li family brother suddenly changed his mind, forced him to withdraw from the marriage with my daughter, and set up a family business elsewhere. One day, a fire burned down his house, and the girls thought he was poor and did not want to marry them. My two daughters and I swore to die, they were angry and angry, and last night they colluded with the green forest ringing horse to break into my house, forcibly snatched my two daughters, and killed more than 80 of my family members, fell to death my son, and killed my wife. The lord is like a clear official, please be the master of the villain, and may your senior officials rise step by step. ”
