Chapter 59: Eliminating Harm for the People (I)
Late at night, Liu Zhong returned.
Inside the room.
"Brother Liu, how is it, is it going well today?" Wen Chou said.
"Well, Xin'an in the township is relatively well-behaved, and some of them are trivial and harmless." Liu Zhong replied.
"Then Sanheli Zhu Yong, can you send someone to investigate clearly?" Wen Chou stepped forward and said softly.
"Well, I only knew that he was not a fellow believer, and I didn't particularly care about it, and I didn't want him to commit so many sins." Liu Zhong took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Choudao.
Wen Chou took the bamboo slip, and then unfolded the flickering light to check, unconsciously shocked, only to see that there were more than a dozen crimes listed on it, the first one was "forcible / rape", the second was "private and land", the third was "thief killing", and there were other crimes such as private murder of slaves and maids, and rape, etc., which were marked with time and the name of the bitter master.
"Brother Liu, are these crimes serious?" Wen Chou threw the bamboo slip on the case and asked solemnly.
"It is absolutely true, the relatives and neighbors of the bitter lord on it can testify!" Liu Zhong gritted his teeth and said.
"Damn, it is forgivable for sins to be done by heaven, but people cannot live for sin, and think that such scum also deserves to live in the world?" A sharp light flashed in Wen Chou's eyes, and he said angrily.
"What does Wen Jun plan to do with it?" Liu Zhong said cautiously.
"Although there are many crimes, many are not fatal, and I think he doesn't have the guts, no more than Lin Qing and Lin Jie, who committed the crime of cutting off his head." Wen Chou groaned.
"In this case, you can only be imprisoned for one or two?" Liu Zhong said.
Wen Chou frowned and thought for a while, and thought: "Although this Zhu Yong is also fighting fiercely with the Lin family, causing chaos in the township, but after all, he is weak, his family assets are only hundreds of thousands, and most of the guests he raises are not in the stream. Moreover, the above-mentioned evidence alone is enough to spend the rest of his life in prison, although it cannot cure him for capital crimes! ”
Wen Chou stroked Fuzhu and said: "It's not just about detaining you, it's about eliminating evil." ”
"Do you want me to call some people tomorrow to come with you?" Liu Zhong asked.
"Well, Gongji and Ziyong should come back tomorrow, if you don't need to patrol the township tomorrow, call three or five reliable brothers, it should be fine." Wen Chou thought for a while.
"I just patrolled and checked, and it was time to recuperate for two or three days!" Liu Zhong said with a smile.
"Well, this is causing trouble for Brother Liu again!" Wen Chou said with an embarrassed smile.
"Today's monarch is ranked, I am wandering, I dare not live as a brother. I hope Wenjun will not shout 'Brother Liu, Brother Liu' in the future. Liu Zhong scratched his head and said. In fact, he has long wanted to talk about this question with Wen Chouyan, but he has never had the opportunity. First, he has been busy and has no time to spare, and secondly, Liu Zhong was not completely sure whether to follow Wen Chou a few days ago. Now Liu Zhongguan's words and deeds are better than his father Wen Liegong, and it is Wen Chou's recommendation that he do the wandering, which is equivalent to his master, so he made a decision to follow in his heart.
The so-called "promoter" means that in the old days, for the person being recommended, the recommender was his "promoter". For the recommended person, the "Lord" is their benefactor, and they should usually be grateful to the "Lord", listen to their words, and regard the "Lord" as a father.
"Oh, does Liu Jun have words?" Wen Scandal Yan knew that Liu Zhong was expressing his position and followed his intentions, and asked.
"I'm a vulgar subordinate, how can I have words." Liu Zhong scratched his head and said. I've been with Wen Chou for a long time, and I'm a little more polite when I speak.
"Well, you are now a wanderer, although you are not a high-ranking official, but you are also among the county officials, how can you have no words, if you don't dislike it, I take the liberty of taking a word for you, I don't know if it's okay?" Wen Chou thought for a while and said.
"Early Mu Wenjun learned, if you give me words, it is my honor! How can you dislike it? Liu Zhong was overjoyed.
"Well, your name is "Zhong", the so-called Zhong, Zhong, impartial, can take the word "Zizheng". Wen Chou pondered for a moment and said.
"Zizheng...... Zizheng ...... Very good, I will be Liu Zizheng in the future! Liu Zhong whispered a few words when he heard this, and said happily. And bowed to Wen Chou and said: "Xie Wenjun gives the virtue of words!" ”
"Haha, Zizheng, come, come, come, let's talk!" Wen Chou is also happy to accept a fierce general.
……
That night, Wen Chou did not let Liu Zhong go back, but slept with him, although he didn't talk all night, but he also said that it was late at night, and the moon was in the sky.
Sleep until three strokes on the sun, two people get up. After getting up, Lao Zhangtou had already cooked a meal, and after eating, Liu Zhong accompanied Wen Chou to deal with the meeting, and Yan Liang, Wen Ba and others came.
"Gongji, are they okay?" Wen Chou stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Big brother, my mother, they are very good, I am very happy to go back this time, and I keep talking about you, saying, I am very pleased to hear what you are doing in the township." Yan Liang replied.
"That's good, Wen's Pavilion is not far from here, if you have time, you can often go home to see, it's not bad." Wen Chou said with feeling. This home can be returned often, but the home of the 21st century can never be returned, so the current Wen Chou cherishes the feelings of "home" very much.
"Ziyong, my uncle has nothing to say, right?" Wen Chou asked again.
"Eldest brother, my father does have a word for me to convey to you, saying, 'Born without having, for the sake of not worrying, and succeeding and living'" Wenba said seriously.
"Born without having, for the sake of not worrying, success and living in the ......" Wen Chou chanted twice, clear. I thought to myself: "It seems that my reputation is growing, and my uncle is afraid that I will be proud of my achievements, so he admonishes me accordingly." ”
This phrase comes from the "Lao Tzu" of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is about: giving birth to all things without taking them for yourself, doing your best for all things without relying on yourself, and accomplishing great things without being arrogant.
"Oh, I want my Wen family to be in the army for generations, but my uncle is old but he gradually likes to write books, he really can kill thieves on the horse, Wen can pick up a pen and splash ink, he is a model for my generation!" Wen Chou praised from the bottom of his heart.
Here Wen Chou was talking and laughing with Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Liu Zhong and others in the lobby, when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and the person who came was obviously very anxious. Wen Ba was next to the door, and then he wanted to raise his feet and go out to find out.
"Wen Jun, Liu Jun...... Zhu Yong's guy seems to be about to go out, and he is getting dressed! A tall and stout man with a red head and a black and red complexion, with a little looped legs, walked into the room and said urgently. He was followed by a young man of twenty-four or five years of age, who was thin, clothed with a knife, and whose face was as black as iron.
These two men knew each other, and they were two of the twenty horsemen who attacked the thief camp with him in the past. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhong asked them to monitor and spy on Zhu Yong.
Wen Scandal said, suddenly got up, took the saber from the wall in the hall, and said: "In this case, without further ado, we will go and see what is going on." He also ordered a villager to say: "You go and inform Wang Jun and ask him to take three teams of villagers and go to Zhukou Pavilion Sanheli." ”
Yan Liang and Wen Ba still didn't know what was going on, and their faces were full of questions. Seeing this, Liu Zhong also followed Wen Chou, and said: "Gongji, Ziyong, talk about it on the road." ”
