Chapter 416: Tragedy
Jing Zhaoyin really didn't want to speak, he felt that this Lord Dali Temple didn't seem to care much about this matter, so he kept silent, so did it matter if the thing the general wanted? Neither of the two adults spoke, and the soldiers below did not speak.
Everyone stared at Bai Lai, and Bai Lai suddenly felt a lot of pressure, so he stayed motionless for about ten minutes. Bai Lai's neck is sore, but unfortunately he doesn't dare to move, and no one is moved, as if time stands still.
Just on the verge of the collapse of Bailai, a heart-to-air shout came from the mountain, echoing in the mountains: "Surrender!" We surrendered! ”
Listen to it in vain, it's a big master. Looking back with joy, I saw a mountain full of white flags fluttering, and everyone bared their teeth and smiled flatteringly. White, yellow, black.
Bai Lai exclaimed: "You..... You guys...."
When all the bandits heard this, they all lowered their heads in shame, and the four masters faced the army alone for them, but they were so spineless. It's a shame on him.
Bai Lai put away his surprised face, straightened his collar, turned his head to face the soldiers, and then slowly spit out a few words: "Well done!" ”
The bandits are weathered, Jingzhao Yin is weathered, the one in Dali Temple looked at Bai Lai, who was twisting his neck, and there was a smile between his eyebrows, just now he felt that this little bandit was motionless, and he didn't dare to look at the stiff appearance interestingly. Now it seems that this little bandit is also quite interesting, and it seems that he is a little different from the person he knows. It's kind of like ...... It was many years ago.
And then everything happened naturally. Dali Siqing and Jing Zhaoyin went to the cottage under the enthusiastic guidance of the bandits. Li Xuan asked what the goods were, and after learning about it, he directly asked for these boxes of paper. So, under the enthusiastic guidance of the bandits, they came to the cottage with a beautiful environment, thatched house! I ate a little miscellaneous last night and drank a little too much. So this thatched house has also become a holy place for the bandits to visit last night. Of course, the paper is not used up! But with the "careful" arrangement of Bai Lai, it will certainly not be in the rest of the paper.
The soldier searched for something, but found nothing.
At this time, everyone's eyes began to move to the paper they didn't find, looking at the white paper full of pits, Lord Jing Zhaoyin knew that something bad was wrong, and he was furious: "Someone! Take down this group of bandits! ”
The one in Dali Temple was much calmer, withdrew his gaze from the pit, fell on Bai Lai, who was leaning against the door, and said coldly: "Do you know what this is?" ”
Bai Lai's heart tightened, and he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately showed a look of horror. Directly fell at Li Xuan's feet, tugged at the hem of his clothes with both hands, and wanted to cry without tears: "Official, this is ...... Isn't this paper? We didn't know that this thing was so valuable, and we had to bother adults to mobilize the people. Although I know that these boxes of paper are worth a lot of money, everyone is illiterate and coarse, so it's useless to keep them! It's barely used as toilet paper. Bai Lai's appearance refreshed the world view of the bandits. I can't help but look around, what about the four of them? Where did it go? This guy in front of him is fake!
I can't read yet! Not one of them in the whole mountain is illiterate! After all, under the persecution of the four masters, I have studied for ten years! Obviously, the four masters let them use it as toilet paper, but I thought it was a pity at the time. But now no one is stupid enough to open their mouths, everyone knows that there must be a ghost in this paper.
Li Xuan pulled out the hem of his clothes, looked at the wrinkled place, and frowned. Then, without looking at the crowd again, he strode out.
Jing Zhaoyin saw that Dali Siqing was gone, so he naturally wouldn't stay long, glared at Bai Lai fiercely, snorted coldly, and walked away.
Bai Lai didn't seem to understand Jing Zhaoyin's eyes, and suddenly looked at Jing Zhaoyin with a hippie smile. This change of face, and who learned!
Hey? That's it? Bai Lai watched their backs go away and exhaled. Stand up, turn around, Ka~, this is? Everyone's faces were colorful, there were surprises, numbness, compassion, pain, and a tearful flower?
Bai Lai's eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice choked up: "I don't want to lose any of my brothers, this kind of humiliating thing, I just do it, and I hope you won't be disappointed in me." The unwilling desolation in Bai Lai's eyes deeply touched the hearts of the bandits, in fact, they all understand.
"Why don't you take them down?" On the mountain road, Jing Zhao Yin and Dali Siqing rode side by side, moving forward slowly, and Jing Zhao Yin Niankui suddenly spoke.
Li Xuanwan smiled: "Then why didn't Lord Jing Zhaoyin take them down." A hint of surprise flashed in Nian Kui's eyes. Usually he looks suave and suave, and his face is like jade. But because he has been in officialdom for a long time and does not smile, people subconsciously ignore his age and get along with him as a peer. This smile suddenly made people feel like a spring breeze, and with the unique sparkling eyes of young people, they looked like a young man. If he were a daughter, he would definitely have to marry him. Of course, such fertile water cannot flow into the fields of outsiders.
Nian Kui opened his mouth, but he didn't spit out a word, and he closed his mouth knowingly. Can he tell him that the four masters are the evil daughters who have been away from home for many years and have disappeared? actually went to be a bandit, a girl's family, and I don't know if Li Xuan will dislike it in the future. Fortunately, although Li Xuan knows that the relationship is not shallow, he doesn't know what the relationship is, and the girl in Fazheng also has a twin brother of the same child, who looks almost identical. This Li Xuan is also selling his own face. But why would you sell your face? I don't understand this adult.
Li Xuan was also not speaking, he was now reminiscing about the familiar fragrance of the four masters.
Anyway, who named this Mangang Mountain? Originally, this mountain was called Dawang Mountain. On that day, the 11-year-old Si Dangjia stood for a long time in front of the stone monument at the foot of the mountain. finally smacked at the stele, and when he came back, he rolled coquettishly at the three masters. The three masters immediately ran to the foot of the mountain and kicked the stone monument, and then walked away. The big boss was very angry, and he spent a lot of effort to get this stone tablet.
Early the next morning, the fog was thick. I saw a strange black shadow coming towards the foot of the mountain in the morning fog, and the little flower who was guarding was so frightened that her face turned pale. Gradually, the dark shadow got closer and realized that it was the three masters who came carrying a boulder. The third master paused, put the boulder with a bang, and put it in the original position of the stele. The boulder jade is white, carved with cinnabar on the top, the three characters of the bandit mountain, and since then this mountain has also become the bandit mountain.
Wugang Mountain was not called Wugang Mountain before, but they changed its name after Mankura Mountain changed its name. This group of spicy chickens always likes to them. When the fourth master heard about it, he smiled evilly: "Heh, pretentious!" ”
Alas, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. Yesterday, this mountain full of bandits stabbed moths again. The entire thirteen lives were all confessed not far from the Mangang Mountain. A wild Taoist priest said that it was this name that was taken from evil. Now all the bandits in the bandit mountain are thinking about whether to change their names.
The people who died were all from the Xishan Medicine Hall in the northern city of the imperial capital, and these bandits did know it. Because Mangang Mountain is located in the mountains, it is far away from the official road. Therefore, there are many insects and beasts in cherished medicinal materials. Therefore, every once in a while, the people of the medicine hall would come into the mountains to collect medicines. But he was full of bandits, but he never hurt them in the slightest.
There was no way, the family demanded that the owner of the medicine hall pay money. Faced with huge debts and a slim future, the owner of the medicine hall had no choice but to sue the Beijing and Shanghai Yamen. Jing Zhaoyin didn't expect that this mountain of bandits would cause a murder. This time, Jing Zhaoyin went to Dali Temple and met Lord Qing of Dali Temple.
Li Xuan, who was sitting at the desk, wrote and listened to Jing Zhaoyin's persecution of the case from beginning to end. Finally finished speaking, Li Xuan gently put the pen on the pen pillow, raised his head to look at Jing Zhaoyin with a sad face, and said casually: "All departments of the imperial court have always performed their own duties and never crossed the line, so they can maintain the current stability." If I come forward, it will inevitably be criticized by others, and I will ask Lord Jing Zhaoyin to find another way. ”
This next year, Kui wants to cry without tears, can he say that the one on the mountain is his daughter? He couldn't afford to lose face. Moreover, if his daughter is involved in a murder case, his career as a father will inevitably be affected.
"My lord, I really can't try this case, this case should belong to you, my lord. To tell you the truth, the four masters of this mountain full of bandits are my distant cousins. Our court criminal law says: If there is a case of murder involving an official's relatives, the official shall not try the case, and it should be handed over to the relevant high-grade officials to deal with. ”
"Oh, there is no need for Mingjian, the law formulated by the official is naturally well known. I just don't know why the young adults didn't tell the official that you are blood relatives at the beginning, don't you have to bother with words? ”
Nian Kui's answer is not a non-answer, how to answer? This rebellious girl is getting more and more disagreeable, and she has to find someone to take care of her, but he can't manage it anyway. This dad is a real failure. Hmm~, this Li Xuan is really good, he looks unsmiling, gentle and gentle. If it weren't for the case back then, I'm afraid everyone would think he was weak and bullied. Thinking of the case back then, Nian Kui still has a chill in his back. There is a river of blood, how many powerful people have died, and the chief judge of this whole case is this Li Xuan. This Li Xuan......
"What is the old man thinking? In fact, it doesn't matter if you answer or not, you don't have to be so nervous, heh. Lead the way, and the officer will go with you. After speaking, he got up, walked slowly to Nian Kui, raised his hand and gently wiped Nian Kui's forehead with the tip of his thumb. Nian Kui subconsciously shrank back, and wiped it with his hand, only to find that he was in a cold sweat. Nian Kui smiled awkwardly, made a gesture of please, and then the two left here.
……
Bai Lai faced the morning breeze and sat at the entrance of the village again, she was waiting for her father again.
This time it came quite early, but it was not her father who came, but a group of officers and soldiers. It is said that his father came with the Lord of Dali Temple, but he just looked at the crime scene at the bottom of the mountain and left. Are you so sure I'm going to go with you? Hey, really. The bandits also followed Bai Lai obediently, majestic, high-spirited, and set off to the Beijing and Shanghai Yamen. The pedestrians along the way were scared a lot, and a little child cried when he saw this group of people. The momentum of a group of them withered in an instant, and they bent over and left quickly with their heads down.
……
"Mighty and mighty..."
"Smack~" Xingmu patted, and Dali Siqing said: "Ascend to the hall."
Eh, did this Lord Dali Siqing not wake up, not only did he wake up and the wood didn't make a sound, but he also spoke so weakly, although the voice was good, it couldn't hide the possibility of kidney deficiency. Bai Lai silently forced a few words in his heart. By the way, Bai Lai secretly glanced at the father who was sitting next to him and listened to the trial, well, he must not have slept well, and his face was dark!
"The hall is full of bandits?"
The bandits nodded yes
"Shanxin Yaotang sued you for killing thirteen lives in Yaotang, can you plead guilty?"
The bandits shook their heads in unison and said, "I don't recognize it, I don't recognize it, I don't have it, I don't exist!" "Actually, Li Xuan thinks the way they speak is weird, aren't they locals?
"You say that you have killed people, so why were those thirteen people killed by a sharp blade at the foot of the Mangang Mountain?"
The bandits shook their heads
"Do you have any evidence that you didn't do it? Fourth, you can talk about it. ”
Well? Isn't it supposed to be a big boss? What does it mean to take her under the knife? Alas, there is no way, the handsomeness of the person is too eye-catching.
"Adult, little one!" Bai Lai smiled flatteringly, revealing a row of neat and lovely white teeth. When Li Xuan saw her cheap appearance, he suddenly wanted to ravage her. "My lord, but we really didn't kill people, or more precisely, we don't know anything about it. We know that the people of the Shanxi Medicine Hall will send people to the mountains to collect medicine every once in a while, but we have always been safe with them, and I think the hall master of the Shanxi Medicine Hall also understands this. ”
"Ignorance? Don't you watchmen notice it at all? Li Xuan said again.
"I'm afraid this adult doesn't know, except for someone on the second and seventh days of this month to the third day of the next month, there is no one in our Mangang Mountain for the rest of the time."
"Oh? Why is that? Li Xuan was really a little curious about this.
"Oh? Why is that? Li Xuan was really a little curious about this.
"My lord, you don't know again, although I am all over the bandit mountain to do bandit things, but we have never robbed the rich and wealthy, and did not harm the interests of the common people. Not to mention the murder of such a thing, which we have never done. Even if it is a robbery, we rob once a month between the 27th and the 3rd day of the new year. In addition to the basic expenses of the bandit mountain for a month, the rest of the money was used in the slums on the outskirts of the imperial city, and our daily life was also hungry! The bandits agreed. Bai Lai finished his words with the appearance of being greatly wronged. glanced at Li Xuan again, well, green shirt and silk, obviously you can eat with your face, but you have to rely on your strength, it's really annoying. But I still have to smile on my face.
It's this kind of cheap smile again, Li Xuan's throat tightened, what should I do, I really want to break her.
"You're saying that you only rob money and don't hurt people's lives?" Li Xuan asked amicably.
"That's not it, my lord, you know everything!" Bai Lai complimented.
"Well, okay, come on" A hint of banter flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.
Eh, how do you feel in vain, it seems to be somewhere, weird! She just now! Finished! She's an idiot!
"Man Bandit Mountain blatantly violated Article 380 of the Criminal Law of the Great Jin Dynasty by robbing others of their money, and in terms of the amount, he should be imprisoned for 18 years, but he remembered that he had made meritorious contributions to the people and did not harm people's lives, so he was given a light sentence to set an example. Drag it down, fifty boards for one person. As soon as the words fell, I only heard the sound of crying and shouting.
"Four masters! I can't live anymore! The people down the hill are all bad people, huh! ”
Bai Lai pulled the corners of his mouth, is it funny? The funny gangsters all learned the way she spoke, but she couldn't laugh at all now.
