Chapter 45: Overthrowing the Cai Family (2)

Zhuo Cheng estimated that the time was almost up, and said: "Brothers, today is the day of our duel with the Cai family, and it will be fair for us to repel the Cai family, come on." Zhuo Cheng echoed this, and twenty or thirty of the twenty brothers were also inspired, and they picked up harpoons and sticks and followed. Cai Xiang was also furious when he saw that Zhuo Cheng was so bold and dared to take the initiative to attack them, when had the Cai family been bullied, and yelled: "Kill this little rabbit cub, go on." "The people on both sides just fought.

Zhuo Cheng was very purposeful, just to kill Cai Jing, so as soon as the fight started, Zhuo Cheng didn't care about anyone, and came straight to Cai Jing with an iron rod. The two groups of people fought and were in a mess, who had time to take care of others, Cai Jing's small body was naturally not Zhuo Cheng's opponent. Zhuo Cheng grabbed Cai Jing's shoulder with one hand and punched him in the face, which only hit Cai Jing's eyes, and Cai Jing scolded fiercely: "I'll your ancestor, see if I don't chop you." Swinging the knife to cut Zhuo Cheng, Zhuo Cheng was quick-eyed, dodged Cai Jing's knife, grabbed his wrist with his backhand and twisted it, twisting his knife away. Cai Jing's middle door opened, Zhuo Cheng, made a ruthless hand, and slammed a stick at Cai Jing's crotch, Cai Jing screamed, and the whole person collapsed directly to the ground like a deflated ball, covering his crotch with both hands.

Cai Xiang saw that his son was beaten and hurried over to help, but Zhuo Cheng was tall and strong after all, and Cai Xiang was not like Cai Qi who had practiced martial arts, but he was just a little fancy. Cai Xiang saw that his son was seriously injured and couldn't care much, so he slashed at Zhuo Chengcheng, Zhuo Cheng swung the iron rod violently, directly shook Cai Xiang's knife away, and slammed it on Cai Xiang's knee, and heard a crisp sound of bone cracking, and Cai Xiang also fell to the ground.

The people of the Cai family saw that they were losing and retreating, and the fishermen saw hope, and they also beat the water dogs one after another, and they all joined Zhuo Cheng's camp. Cai Xiang didn't expect this to happen, but now that the general trend is gone, he has no power to return to the sky. At this moment, I heard a loud roar: "You people dare to make trouble here, it's against the sky?" As he spoke, a group of officials rushed in and scattered the crowd with knives.

Li Shan had already reminded him, and when Zhuo Cheng saw that the official messenger was coming, he hurriedly withdrew with his brothers to hide in the crowd. Cai Qi's strength is not something Zhuo Cheng can handle, so he temporarily avoided the edge, and a few fishermen who could fight on top didn't see the official errand clearly, and they went up to fight, and they were directly knocked down by Cai Qi twice and pressed down. Cai Qi looked at Cai Xiang and Cai Jing on the side. Cai Jing was already unconscious, but there was blood flowing out of his crotch, which was obviously not lightly injured. Cai Xiang also couldn't stand up, and it is estimated that his leg has been broken. The anger in Cai Qi's heart was difficult to suppress, and he said in a deep voice: "Who hit the person, there is really no king's law." If you don't admit it, I will arrest you all and torture them one by one. ”

At this time, someone shouted in the crowd: "Obviously, the Cai family forced us fishermen to pay money, and all our hard-earned money was extorted by you." You didn't catch Cai Xiang, but came to ask us the most, is there really no royal law? Cai Qi glanced at the crowd but couldn't see who was speaking. Not to mention that there are also one hundred and ten people here, it is impossible to arrest them all, the culprit must be found, and he turned to Cai Xiang and said: "Second brother, who is the leader, I will arrest it first." Cai Xiang endured the pain, gritted his teeth and said, "It's the kid named Zhuo Cheng, he was the one who injured me and Jing'er just now." He must have hid in the crowd, I will let you identify him, I must find him for me, I will break him into pieces. ”

At this time, Zhuo Cheng took the initiative to stand up and said: "I am Zhuo Cheng, I injured the person, why did they hit me first, I am purely in legitimate defense, and all the villagers here can testify for me." The fishermen behind all shouted: "Zhuo Cheng is not guilty, arrest Cai Xiang." Zhuo Cheng was not guilty and arrested Cai Xiang. Cai Qi's face was gloomy, he felt that today's matter was too big, and it was already a little difficult to end, and now he must use thunderous means to deter these Diao people, otherwise the Cai family will really have no prestige in the future.

Thinking of this section, Cai Qi exerted his strength violently, flew in front of Zhuo Cheng, and reached out to grab Zhuo Cheng's neck. Although Zhuo Cheng has the strength to fight, he really has no ability to resist for a person like Cai Qi who practices martial arts, and he wanted to raise his hand to parry, but found that the other party's hand was just a false shot, and the real killer was the leg, but Zhuo Cheng was too late to move, and was directly kicked in the chest by Cai Qi, flying out three meters, and spurting out a mouthful of blood. Cai Qi sneered and looked at Zhuo Chengdao: "Little rabbit cub, today is your death date, and you are looking for death by yourself, no wonder me." As he spoke, he pulled out the saber at his waist and prepared to turn out Zhuo Cheng. The others were frightened by Cai Qi's actions, and he was an official errand and did not dare to come forward to help.

Seeing that Cai Qi's knife was about to fall, "Stop, Cai Qi, you are such a big dog, you dare to commit murder in broad daylight?" Do you still look like an errand? What's the difference between this and banditry? Cai Qi was shocked when he heard this voice, the knife suddenly stopped in mid-air, turned around to take a look, quickly put the knife away and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Assassin Shi, Xiaguan did not commit murder, it is really these Diao people who are too rampant, injuring my second brother and nephew, Xiaguan is in a hurry to think of teaching him a lesson." ”

Lu Jiuyuan sneered and said, "You still dare to quibble, are you blind as an official?" This official has been here a long time ago, and it is clear before and after. I'm really ashamed, I always thought that the people of Jingzhou I governed would be able to live and work in peace and contentment, but I didn't expect that there would be such a scum as you, and the people would be miserable. This matter will be investigated strictly to the end. At this time, Zhuo Cheng reluctantly got up, knelt down and said, "My lord, the grass people have grievances to cry, and please ask Lord Thorn Shi to make the decision for us." Zhuo Cheng took the lead, and many people knelt down and said: "The grass people have grievances to complain." A letter of complaint written in advance was presented to Lu Jiuyuan, Li Shan took on the role of an assistant at the right time, collected the complaint one by one and took it to Lu Jiuyuan, Lu Jiuyuan looked at this sealed complaint, his face sank like water, and finally slapped the complaint directly on Cai Qi's face and said: "I see how you explain it, come here, Cai Qi and Cai Xiang have tied me up and put them in prison pending trial." I, Jinge, want to go to the Yamen to see how Jingzhou Mansion Yin is going to try these cases. ”

When Cai Qi saw these complaints, his face was also like ashes, knowing that the general trend had gone, and there was no power to return to heaven.

Ascension, mighty. Yin Weixiang of Jingzhou Mansion was sitting in front of the hall, looking at Cai Xiang, Cai Qi and others kneeling below, and then glanced at Lu Tingshi who was sitting next to him, and said: "Cai Qi, Cai Xiang, you and the others are involved in more than ten crimes such as malicious wounding, abduction and trafficking of women, and embezzlement of other people's real estate, can you two plead guilty?" Everyone is full of money, and Lu Jiuyuan has seen Cai Qi and Cai Xiang with his own eyes, and there is no room for refutation. Fu Yin naturally did not favor them and closed the case directly. Really at this moment, I heard a wail outside the door, a white-haired old man over seventy years old was helped into the yamen, the old man said: "It's my godson who has no way, I didn't expect that these two evil obstacles came out, and the fame of my Cai family for several generations was buried in the hands of the two of you." ”

Lu Jiuyuan saw that the old man was also moved, and quickly got up and greeted him: "Teacher, the student is here to make amends to you, but the state has national laws and family rules, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law." Only then did Li Shan know that this old man should be Cai Yong. Cai Yong grabbed Lu Jiuyuan's hand and said, "I know, you did the right thing." If you do something wrong, you should be punished. It's just that I'm over the age of old, and with only these two sons, you can't bear to let me, a white-haired man, send a black-haired man? The son does not teach the father's fault, if they must be sentenced to death, the old man is willing to pay for his life. Lu Jiuyuan is also embarrassed, Cai Yong's reputation is very high and he is his mentor, Cai Yong came here to intercede, he can't give Cai Yong too much face. Lu Jiuyuan hugged Cai Yong and said: "Although Cai Qi and Cai Xiang have committed several crimes and should be severely punished, it is not without room for recovery, as long as the two of them admit their guilt and minimize the loss, it is not impossible to deal with it at their discretion." ”

Li Shan smiled slightly, quietly withdrew from the yamen and walked home, no matter what the result is, the Cai family has fallen, and the rest will be left to Lu Jiuyuan to have a headache, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
