Chapter 31 The Fish Returns to the Sun
Chen Ping! The founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty! Known for his ability to speak well and be resourceful!
At this moment, the villagers were about to sink Chen Ping and another woman into the water, and Zhang Liang hurriedly stepped forward! "Keeping people underwater !!!" This is unlearned, but the purpose has finally been achieved. The villagers were stunned when they heard this, stopped moving, and looked at Zhang Liang in unison!
An elder who seemed to be a certain age stepped forward and asked Zhang Liang, "Who are you and why did you stop us?" “
Zhang Liang had already arrived in front of everyone at this time, and first bowed down, which is not strange for many people. Then he said in a peaceful tone: "On the next road, passing by here, I saw that you seem to be going to drown this man and woman in the river!" I don't know why this is the case?! You need to know that the imperial court has its own laws, and it is necessary to pay for human life at will! “
The villagers didn't know Zhang Liang in the first place, and they were already a little impatient when they saw him stop everyone from acting! But after all, he was courteous and polite, and what he said made some sense. So he replied coldly: "This man has committed adultery with his sister-in-law!" Shouldn't such a depraved deed be put to death?! “
Zhang Liang smiled when he heard this, and said slowly: "The Qin State governs the country according to the law, and everything has a law!" Even if these two commit adultery, of course, there should be a government to deal with it! Besides, it is the so-called catching thieves and catching stolen goods, catching traitors and catching doubles. I see that the two of them are fully clothed, and I wonder if there is any evidence that the two of them have been caught in bed? ”
Everyone had the urge to beat Zhang Liang violently at this time! Although what he said made sense, it was a bit indecent after all! What do you mean by going to bed??!! Do you want us to pull out two naked men and women from the bed and tie them directly to Shenhe?!
The villagers were speechless for a while, but it was Chen Ping who took the lead in speaking. "Haha~~ That's good! I, Chen Ping, think that this persuasion technique is rare in the world, and today I will not be far behind Mr. The words are reasonable and powerful! Admire and admire!! ”
Zhang Liang glanced at him, and scolded in his heart: Your uncle! Now you don't speak! If you let people think that we are together, sink me and it's over!
When the villagers heard Chen Ping's words, they were immediately furious, and they all pointed at Zhang Liang and said, "Who are you, do you want you to take care of the affairs of our village as an outsider?!" This ugly act of adultery by a thief is usually necessary to warn the world, and this shameless man and this shameless woman have already confessed to this fashionable way! What's wrong with us doing this!! After saying that, he began to sink the two men into the river again.
I saw that Zhang Liang didn't stop him, he sat directly on the ground, looked up to the sky and said to himself: "Oh, the grass is a matter of human life!" Capital punishment shall be imposed in accordance with the law, and those who harbor and connive at it shall be guilty of the same crime; Coupled with the joint sitting, these two people's lives are really valuable! I found so many ...... to accompany the burial."
When the villagers heard this, they were stunned again! I thought: What the hell is this man doing? Could it be an official?! But what official is as shabby as him? Walking alone by the river in the countryside?!
"You...... What do you do? Why do you want to stop us again and again?! Is it an accomplice of this shameless man? In the end, it was the old man who asked Zhang Liang!
Zhang Liang was not in a hurry or annoyed, got up and said to the old man: "I said that I am just passing through here!" What I just said is my own shallow opinion! You can ignore it and get on with your business! ”
Everyone was at a loss at this time, but suddenly they heard the woman in the pig cage who had never spoken: "This son save me!" I didn't commit adultery with my uncle, but when my husband was alive, he didn't think about working and was idle all day! I'm so annoyed, how can I commit adultery with him?! They are grass and human life!! ”
Upon hearing that the woman completely denied the crime, the villagers shouted: "Shut up!" Your two outrageous deeds have long been known! Shicai that Chen Ping also threatened that men and women are compatible, hasn't he already admitted the crimes of the two of you?! ”
Chen Ping laughed loudly when he heard it: "Hahaha! All I say is that it is a matter of course for a man and a woman to be together! Didn't say I committed adultery with my sister-in-law! Then he pointed to a woman in the villagers and said, "Shicai also said that even if she commits adultery, no one will want her, is this also evidence that I admit adultery?!" ”
At this time, everyone was completely dumbfounded, and the old man's face was even more red. "Don't quibble! If it weren't for this shameless act, how could such shameless words be uttered?! It's clearly shirking! ”
Seeing that the two sides began to verbally attack again, Zhang Liang hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Listen to me!" Neither of them admits that they have committed adultery, and you have to say that they have committed adultery! You need to know that everything needs to be rationalized! Whether these two really have a personal relationship still needs to have conclusive evidence! If the two of them really have that scandal of losing their morality and depravity, they naturally can't ignore it! In my opinion, how about we take a compromise and let God judge?! ”
As soon as the villagers heard that they were going to be judged by heaven, they immediately looked at Zhang Liang with a confused face! I don't know what he can do to make God decide! Finally, they all looked at the elder and waited for his decision!
The old man was also stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Then tell me, how to judge by heaven?" ”
Seeing that everyone had already adopted his opinion, Zhang Liang said with a straight face: "Since you originally intended to sink the two of them into the river, then you should handle it according to this law." We dragged the two of them out, tied them hand and foot and threw them into the water, if they sank to the bottom, it would be needless to say, I see that the fish in this water are fat and abundant! Just right to feed them! If there is a god to help them float, it is the heavens and the other two! What do you think? ”
When the old man heard this, he was thinking in his heart: although this person can float on the water, he must finally relax and not struggle! And even then it won't last long! What's more, these two people are tied hand and foot, and after entering the water, they will sink to the bottom after a little struggle! No one will be able to save them!
Seeing that the elder was still pondering, Zhang Liang continued: "Old man! They're about to go into the water, and they might die with a whimper! Those who are to be beheaded must be given some wine to drink before they are executed! Just pour a jar into each of them! Besides, when they are drunk, their bodies are even more uncontrollable, which can accelerate their sinking! What do you think? ”
The old man understands that after drinking, it is still taboo to go into the water, and it is okay to drink less, but I am afraid that my consciousness is blurred if I drink more! No matter how good the water is, it is more than auspicious to get drunk and go into the water, not to mention the two of them who are kidnapped! After thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed, called a person beside him, and ordered him to go back to the village to get wine!
As soon as the villagers agreed with Zhang Liang's opinion, the woman in the pig cage began to cry loudly, as if she had seen her own death! Chen Ping frowned even more, and kept staring at Zhang Liang, as if thinking: Are you here to save me, or are you here to change the law to toss me?!
The villagers who took the wine soon returned, and everyone pulled Chen Ping's uncle and sister-in-law out of the pig cage, and then tied their hands and feet back! When everything was ready, he forcibly poured wine on the two of them, and the woman did not want to drink, but she could not stand the villagers rushing up and forcibly pouring it! When I went down to a jar of wine, I was already drunk and a little unconscious, and even my body was full of alcohol! Chen Ping cooperated, but the villagers hated him to the core, and deliberately poured it quickly, and even Chen Ping couldn't stand it when he drank this urgent wine! I drank most of it, and the rest was all in my clothes......
All the work has been done, and before Zhang Liang can give an order, the villagers have lifted the two of them up, and then threw them into the water!
Because the two were thrown, the impact was very strong, and as soon as they entered the water, they sank directly! Then it goes up and down! The two of them continued to struggle with their remaining will, but in just a moment, they completely sank! The villagers cheered when they saw it, and they all talked about the dog man and woman who deserved this fate! But who knew that only a moment later, the two of them floated up again! The villagers looked at the two of them, but they were all lying flat with their eyes closed, and there was no response! The most surprising thing is that there are countless fish under them that keep pushing up against the two of them, as if they are lifting the two in groups, not wanting them to sink!
The villagers were dumbfounded, and even the elder frowned. The drums have been beating non-stop in his heart for a long time, is it really that God wants to save the two of them?
Zhang Liang saw that everyone was speechless, so he said to them: "You have seen it, if it weren't for God's favor, how could you let the fish in this water come to rescue the two of them!" From this, it can be seen that they should not have adultery! If there are still doubts, is it doubting the injustice of God??! ”
Expand problems and contradictions infinitely! This is one of Zhang Liang's killer features! The villagers were silent when they heard Zhang Liang's words, how could ordinary people dare to doubt God's arrangement?! But it can also be seen that they are unwilling after all, they all look at the elder, waiting for him to decide!
After a long time, the old man looked up to the sky with a reluctant sigh and said, "Since it is the judgment of God, then I have to believe in the two of them!" ”
When Zhang Liang heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The old man is really a reasonable person!" Then he said to the villagers, "What are you waiting for?" Let's go and get them both up! ”
When the villagers heard this, they no longer hesitated, and hurried to salvage the two, and after everyone entered the water, those fish were still around the two, and they always followed them like a demon! After the two were rescued, Zhang Liang stepped forward to try their snorts, and found that they were still alive, so he nodded with satisfaction! It's just that at this moment, the two are still unconscious.
"Since Heaven has ruled that they are not guilty, then we have nothing to say, and we will bring this woman back! As for this Chen Ping, even if he didn't do this ugly thing of stealing his sister-in-law, we still won't tolerate him, and he has many verbal disagreements with his neighbors on weekdays. Idle all day long, causing trouble! I'm afraid that he will inevitably do something ugly in the future! Since you saved his life, you can deal with him yourself! The old man spoke to Zhang Liang, and then ordered the villagers to carry the woman back! Only the unconscious Chen Ping and the eventful Zhang Liang were left!
Zhang Liang couldn't cry or laugh at the moment! Looking at the drunken Chen Ping, there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in his heart! He was injured himself, and he couldn't take Chen Ping with him at all, so he had to lie down with the other party, but fortunately, he took the sky as his home; The ground is the bed, close your eyes and recuperate your mind......
When it was almost nightfall, Chen Ping slowly woke up and found that he was still alive, and the villagers had all left, and there was only the person who rescued him, lying on the ground like himself!
When Zhang Liang saw him wake up, he also got up and said to him, "Awake?!" If you don't wake up, we'll both spend the night on this deserted beach!" ”
Chen Ping looked at the changes around him, thinking that the other party had saved him! hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Gongzi for saving me!" He will be rewarded for his day! ”
Zhang Liang only smiled slightly, and recounted the fact that the villagers no longer accepted him! But Chen Ping didn't seem to care, and said lightly: "It's okay if you don't go back!" I've wanted to go out and do it for a long time! Now is the time! But I don't know the name of the son! I will repay you for saving your life in the future! “
Zhang Liang got up slowly, patted off the dust on his body, and said to Chen Ping: "You and I should be fateful, and he will meet again one day!" It's never too late to let you know! I'm curious, if you haven't committed adultery with your sister-in-law, why do the villagers insist on it?! “
Seeing that the other party did not want to be named, Chen Ping was not reluctant, and after listening to the other party's questioning, he replied with a smile: "I speak too much, and I often have quarrels with the villagers!" On weekdays, everyone is already dissatisfied with me! In addition, after the death of my brother, someone once beat my sister-in-law's idea! I have reprimanded each other, and although my sister-in-law annoys me, she always abides by women's morals! That man didn't succeed, so he held a grudge and maliciously slandered us both of us! The day before yesterday, I felt drowsy after eating at home, and I thought I had been drugged! I woke up and slept in the same bed with my sister-in-law! But after all, they all sleep with their clothes together! But I never thought that the villagers rushed into the house, and they tied up the two of us without saying anything! That's what happened to the sinking river today! Thanks to meeting Mr., I was able to survive! Since Mr. Gao Yi is unwilling to tell his name, can you tell Chen Ping how Mr. saved my life? “
At this time, Zhang Liang had already gotten up and prepared to leave after listening to Chen Ping's narration. He turned his back to Chen Ping, waved his hand, and read a limerick poem without looking back: "Wine is made of grain and fruit, and it naturally spreads fragrance when it enters the water, and it is intoxicating and weak, and the fish is entrusted to return to the yang!" “
Listening to this plausible answer, looking at the other party's distant back, Chen Ping thought hard. At last he looked up to the sky and laughed, lay down on the ground again, and said to himself to the night sky: "I never thought that I could be drunk with wine, so that I could rise and fall naturally in the water, and no longer resist; There are fish in the water who smell the aroma of grain and rice in the wine on my body, and they come to eat me together, and hold me up alive Chen Ping! If it is true that Mr. can see you again in the future, I will get drunk with Mr. ......"
