Chapter 176: Traffic Accidents

Song Yun'er continued: "After buying buns and escaping, my master came to me, didn't speak, took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, threw them into the air, and after catching them, he asked me how many copper coins there were." I only glanced at it and saw it clearly, and the answer was not bad at all. My master immediately proposed to my mother to take me as an apprentice. ”

"My mother was a little hesitant, firstly, she didn't know my master, and secondly, she didn't want me to be a girl dancing with a gun and stick, so she said that she wanted my father to take the idea. My master didn't say a word, and went home with us to find my father. ”

"At that time, my father was just a master bookkeeper, and after listening to my master's meaning, although he did not object to me learning martial arts, he did not advocate it, and he did not understand my master, so he shirked it. My master is not angry, nor does he use force, but every day he runs to the yamen to find my father, and he only asks once a day, and if he disagrees with me, he will leave, and he will come back the next day. In the end, my father was forced to be helpless, so he had a problem and said that he wanted to see my master's ability. ”

"So my master showed her hand in front of us, she threw a handful of copper coins into the air, and then jumped up, stretched out her fingers and nailed the copper coins one by one to the wooden pillars of the hall, and none of them missed."

"My father was very surprised, seeing that my master was so capable, and knew that this kind of strange person in the rivers and lakes, since he had taken a fancy to his daughter and wanted to take him as an apprentice, he would not give up until he reached his goal. Now if I don't allow it, maybe I will turn my face and sneak me away, and then I will be in trouble. In desperation, I agreed to accept me as an apprentice. Since then, I have been learning Kung Fu from my master. ”

Yang Qiuchi's eyes widened when he heard this, there were at least a dozen copper coins, and the moment the copper coins were abandoned, it was not easy to hit more than a dozen copper coins, and he had to pop the copper coins and nail them to the wooden pillar.

Song Yun'er can instantly see the number of copper coins thrown up, and the speed of her eyesight is also rare, her master just took a fancy to her talent, which is very consistent with her martial arts path, so he accepted her as an apprentice, in the martial arts, it is not easy to find a good master, but it is not easy to find a good apprentice. When she met Song Yun'er as a talented apprentice, it was no wonder that her master insisted on accepting her as an apprentice.

Yang Qiuchi asked, "I have never met your master, where is her old man now?" ”

"What an old man, my master is only in his early thirties!"

"Huh?" Yang Qiuchi was taken aback, "Martial arts in your early thirties are so good, isn't it invincible in your early teens?" ”

"Hee-hee~!" Song Yun'er said with a smile, "You don't have to be a hundred years old, I dare to say that in today's martial arts, I'm afraid no one can beat my master." ”

"You mean that your master is already invincible in his early thirties?" Yang Qiuchi winked and laughed at her.

"If you don't believe it, forget it!" Song Yun'er pursed her red mouth.

"Believe it, I believe it!" Yang Qiuchi hurriedly put away his smile and said seriously, "What about your master?" Why haven't I seen her once? ”

"Don't say it's you, it's hard for me to see her now." Song Yun'er sighed.

Yang Qiuchi said strangely: "Won't it? ”

"I started learning kung fu with her when I was five years old, and she lived in my house at that time, and was with me day and night, and when I was twelve years old, she said that everything she could teach me was taught, and the rest was just the heat and the grind. Since then, my master has come to see me every once in a while to check on my martial arts progress. So I haven't seen her in a long time. ”

The convoy went on another ten miles and stopped. Then a horse's hoof came to the carport quickly, and then Nangong Xiong's voice was heard saying, "My lord, we have found a suspicious carriage in Dongmen Pass!" ”

The little maid Yuechan lifted the curtain, Yang Qiuchi stretched out her head, and asked happily, "Where is it?" ”

"Just in front of the fork in the road, more than a mile into the road, there is a big charcoal kiln. There were more than a dozen wagons carrying goods parked there, all of which were in line with what the adults said. The subordinates didn't know which one it was, so they detained them all and waited for the adults to approve them. ”

"Good!" Yang Qiuchi said excitedly, "Go to Dongmen Pass!" ”

The road conditions of this fork in the road are far from being as good as the official road, and the bumps are very strong, but the freight carriage can enter, and Yang Qiuchi's luxury carriage similar to the freight carriage can also enter.

Winding into the road for more than a mile, there is a dam, and more than a dozen wagons are parked. Some of the brocade guards had already arrived in advance and started to be on guard, and all the people were gathered together, and several brocade guards were guarding with knives.

After seeing Yang Qiuchi get out of the car, Nangong Xiong yelled at the gang of charcoal-burning men: "The master is here, why don't you kneel down quickly to greet him!" ”

Those men looked at the bright knives in the hands of the guards, how dare they say half a word, although Yang Qiuchi did not wear official robes, seeing this battle, I am afraid that it is really the lord of the official mansion.

In ancient China, the common people have always had a glorious tradition of fearing officials, regardless of whether the official can control himself or not, he kneels when he sees someone wearing an official robe, which is the rule.

Yang Qiuchi felt the majesty of the ancient officials, and he dragged it like this before he reached his own land, if he reached the one-third of an acre of land under his jurisdiction, he would not have to go sideways.

Yang Qiuchi took Song Yun'er to the pile of men who knelt down and asked, "Who of you drove the carriage and knocked down a child?" Hurry up and confess, and you can also be lenient, otherwise, once the county finds out, it will not be spared! ”

The word "this county" is cool when it comes out, representing a kind of authority and a kind of power.

However, power belongs to power, that is, no one cares. The group of men knelt there silently, and no one turned themselves in.

At this moment, Master Jin and Master Long also came behind Yang Qiuchi. Yang Qiuchi turned his head and asked Master Jin, "Mr. Jin, what does our Ming Law stipulate for this kind of carriage to kill people?" ”

Master Jin bowed down and replied: "The official road is regarded as a street town shop, galloping chariots and horses, causing the dead, a hundred rods, three thousand miles, and ten taels of silver for burial." ”

Yang Qiuchi was taken aback, this punishment was heavy enough. According to the provisions of China's current criminal law, although the maximum penalty for fleeing after a traffic accident causes death can be 15 years in prison, under normal circumstances, for a simple traffic accident, the maximum sentence is two or three years in prison, and most of them are suspended sentences. In contrast, Ming law was much heavier.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Did you all hear clearly? ”

"I hear you." The men replied in a low voice, but still no one came out to confess.

Seeing this, Yang Qiuchi didn't bother to ramble with them, turned around and walked to the group of carriages to search carefully.

Song Yun'er also followed Yang Qiuchi to the carriage, and at a glance she found that the first batch of horses on the right was a yellow horse, and there were three carriages, and pointed them out to Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi instructed Nangong Xiong to lead the three carriages aside, and then walked over to take a closer look. Although they are all yellow husers, there is still a difference in coat color.

Song Yun'er asked in a low voice, "Brother, why don't you take out that hair and compare it?" ”

"No," Yang Qiuchi smiled, "Yun'er, you have fast eyesight, you can see a flock of sheep, your brother and I also have a characteristic of our eyes, I remember things very accurately, and that hair has just been seen, and the yellow huss of these troika has a big difference in coat color, so you don't need to take out that hair to know which one it is." ”

"Really? Do you see which one it is? ”

Yang Qiuchi nodded, pointed to one of them and said, "This is it." He turned to the group of men and asked, "Who is this carriage?" ”

A middle-aged man walked out tremblingly, knelt down and kowtowed: "It's a villain." ”

"You're the murderer who killed the child in a horse-drawn carriage!"

The man kowtowed and shouted injustice.

Yang Qiuchi sneered, took out the white paper bag wrapped in yellow horse hair from his arms, and threw it in front of the man: "Take a closer look, this is a hair extracted from the forehead of the child you killed in this county, you can see if it is the hair of the yellow horse in your carriage!" ”

The man shuddered and opened the paper bag, picked up the bloody hair and looked at it, his face was pale, but he still didn't say anything.

Yang Qiuchi walked to the side of the yellow horse, bent down to check the horse's front legs, took out a sweat towel from his arms, wiped it on a blood-like mark in front of the horse's leg, walked up to the man, threw the sweat towel to him, and said, "Your horse's front legs are not injured, where did this blood come from?" It was clearly glued when the horse's leg broke the child's forehead! ”

The man picked up the sweat towel and looked at it, trembling even more.

Yang Qiuchi suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the man's wrist, opened it, and sneered: "Isn't this red stain on your hand bloodstain?" This is the blood of the child that sticks to the grass when you carry the child to the ridge and hide it. You can't believe we've found you so quickly, and you haven't even had time to wash your hands! Then he shook his hand and shouted: "If you don't recruit yet, do you want this official to be executed?" ”

The man's face turned pale, and he kowtowed again and again: "Sir, I have recruited, when I was driving a carriage to carry timber to the edge of the village, the boy suddenly came out of the side of the road and crossed the road, and I didn't have time to rein in the horse, so I knocked him down." I recruited. ”

Yang Qiuchi's eyes glared: "Nonsense! Boldly disrupt the people, dare to confuse right and wrong, and wantonly deny it, do you think that no one next to you can talk nonsense if you see it? ”

"What the villain said is the truth, please find out." The man kowtowed.

"Discerning? Of course I was aware of it. Let me ask you, when you hold the child and hide, you should have seen the child's injuries clearly, right? ”

The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
