Iron Mask (3)

Li Chuxi finally got married.

His wife's name is Zhang Wan, who is the same age as him.

The villagers had only seen her once, and that was on the wedding day, when the fairy girl in red came and worshiped the high hall with Li Chuxi's hand.

There were no firecrackers, no music, not even a banquet for friends and family.

Their marriage was simply and quietly completed.

But those who were lucky enough to see this couple said: "What a talented and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!" ”

"No wonder Li Gongzi hasn't married for so many years, it turns out that there is a candidate in his heart! The bride is as beautiful as a fairy, and only she is worthy of Li Gongzi's beauty! ”

After the visit, Li Chuxi and Zhang Wan went to Zhang Wan's cottage and lived a happy and quiet life.

It was the day of the market, and Li Chuxi went to the street to buy something.

He was wandering leisurely down the street when he suddenly heard someone arguing in front of him.

He went to check on the situation.

A vegetable farmer stood in place at a loss, looking anxiously and looking at the people around him as if asking for help.

He said, "Everyone is a testimony to me!" You all saw that my money bag was full of loose money, where was the ten taels of silver he said! ”

In front of him stood a fat man with a sneering face.

The fat man was gorgeously dressed, with a shiny face, a fat head and big ears, and he seemed to be a rich man.

The fat man said: "What do you mean, uncle, I blackmailed you?" What Lao Tzu just gave you is ten taels of silver, don't deny it! ”

As he spoke, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he motioned for a few people in the distance to come forward.

The vegetable farmer remembered that he was about to cry, but he opened his money bag and presented it to the fat man: "Sir! Open your eyes and look at that! Xiaomin's money bag is in front of you, and it is full of copper coins, and you don't even have a tael of silver, so how can you have ten taels of silver? ”

The fat man pushed the money bag away and said, "I don't care so much about you!" You've got to give me back my money anyway! ”

The vegetable farmer turned to the people around him again and pleaded, "Bear witness to me!" Who has ever seen a person who buys cabbage for ten taels of silver? I'm doing a small business, and I can't stand his toss like this! When this uncle came to buy vegetables just now, the people next to him should have seen it, right? He didn't even give me ten taels of silver! Help me testify to all who you see. ”

The fat man scolded: 'Go, go! When I came to buy groceries, there was no one here but me, who would dare to say that he saw it?! “

The vegetable farmer looked around anxiously: "Someone has seen it!" ”

He ran to one of them and pleaded, "Big brother! You're there too! Did you see that? He didn't give me ten taels of silver at all! ”

The man looked embarrassed and stole a few glances at the fat man.

The fat man's face changed, and he took a few steps towards the man, and several more people came and surrounded him in the middle.

The fat man had a gloomy face: "Boy! Did you see that? ”

The gang took a step closer.

The man's face turned pale with fright, and he shook his head desperately: "I didn't see it!" I do not know! I don't know anything, I'm just standing here and watching the fun! ”

"Huh?" The fat man's face was hideous, "You dare to see even Uncle Ben's liveliness?" Do you know who Uncle Ben is! Don't get out of here! You bastards, all fuck off! ”

With that, the onlookers dispersed.

The fat man turned his face and sneered: "Old man! Stop! Give the money now! ”

The vegetable farmer said with a bitter face: "Uncle! I'm a poor peasant, and I'll find you ten taels of silver there! I'm just selling cabbage to earn some money, even if I sell ten loads of cabbage, I can't earn ten taels of silver! ”

The fat man shook his head and said, "Then I don't care!" I only recognize money, not people! If you can't get the money, don't blame me for being rude! ”

The vegetable farmer went to stop the scattered people: "Big brother! Don't go, you were there just now, you should have seen it! ”

As if he had seen a plague god, the man pushed the vegetable farmer away in horror: "Old man! Don't talk nonsense! You've mistaken someone! I didn't see it! I didn't see anything! ”

The vegetable farmer went to stop another person: "Big brother! Don't leave! Help me testify! ”

The man said, "Old man! You're foolish! I've just arrived! ”

The fat man sneered: "Old man, old man! Don't waste time, even if you find someone from the government today, you have to pay me this money obediently! Do you know who I am? He's my dearest! He and I have been relatives for eight lifetimes! The relationship is great! I advise you to return the money to me as soon as possible, lest I report to the official, and when my relative comes, he will arrest you and put you in prison, and the ten tortures will take turns, and you will suffer the pain of the flesh and skin. ”

The vegetable farmer trembled in shock, and he wailed: "Uncle! You can spare the little ones! You look like a rich and noble person, so why force me to ask a vegetable farmer for ten taels of silver? ”

The fat man smiled coldly: "How do you think my wealth came from?" ”

The vegetable farmer cried out, "O God! O earth! Who's going to save my poor little old man! ”

"Tut-tut!" The fat man shook his head and said, "Look at you, it's pitiful!" In this way, if you give me all the money on you, I should have one or two taels! Then the rest of the money, I'll spare you! ”

The vegetable farmer took back the money bag and tightened his pocket: "Uncle! That's my family's food money! If they were all given to you, would you tell my whole family to drink the northwest wind? ”

The fat man sneered: "I don't care what wind you drink!" If you don't hand over the money obediently, I won't be able to drink any wind at all!" ”

The vegetable farmer said, "Aren't you robbing!" ”

The fat man's eyes widened: "Robbery!" How dare you say that I robbed! Let me tell you, I am a relative of the official master, and if you say that I robbed, then you are smearing the official master's face! You're guilty of a capital offense, and you're going to be killed!" ”

The vegetable farmer cried: "Help! ”

At this moment, a figure stood in front of him.

The fat man and he were both shocked.

The fat man said: "Where did the little ghost come from! Get out of here! ”

The vegetable farmer's eyes lit up, grabbed him, and begged: "Hero! Help me! Swordsman! ”

Li Chuxi said: "I testify! You didn't give him any money at all! ”

The fat man frowned: "Who are you scaring here with your mouth open!" ”

Li Chuxi said: "I will testify for him. ”

The fat man was angry: "The neurotic from there grinned at me, but he didn't speak!" Are you kidding Lao Tzu! ”

He grabbed Li Chuxi's collar and glared angrily.

Li Chuxi said: "Let me down!" ”

The onlookers saw Li Chuxi's appearance clearly, and said to the fat man: "This person, the son of Li Xiucai in the former village, is a mute!" ”

"Dumb?" The fat man frowned and smiled incredulously, "How dare a dumb man provoke me?" Lao Tzu beat you up, so that you can't say that you are bitter! ”

Li Chuxi shouted: "I'm not dumb! ”

The fat man said, "Dumb! If you don't want to be beaten, get out of the way! ”

But Li Chuxi opened his arms and protected the vegetable farmer: "I'll testify to him!" Don't you want to come here! ”

The fat man laughed angrily: "Hey! You're dumb, you're really competing with me, aren't you? ”

Li Chu's face was serious, motionless, and he refused to back down.

His education since childhood taught him that when faced with injustice, even if he can't draw a sword to help, he has to stand up.

He couldn't pretend to be invisible and let a vegetable farmer be bullied by bullies.

Evil wants to rise above what's right! That's impossible!

So he stood in front of the vegetable farmers, and when no one dared to testify, he was the last line of defense against evil.

The fat man was furious, he grabbed Li Chuxi's collar and threw him to the ground!

Then with a wave of his hand, several thugs rushed up and punched and kicked him!

The vegetable farmer shouted anxiously: "Beat someone!" Hit someone! Incredible! ”

The fat bullies were so numerous that the besieging masses did not dare to step forward, so they had to point their fingers at the chaos: "Look at you!" There is really no royal law, and in front of the public, he dares to beat people! ”

The vegetable farmer went to pull them, but they pushed them away roughly.

The fat man said, "Dead old man! Stay back! Provoke me, I'll beat you together! You old bones! It can't stand a few hits! ”

The vegetable farmer said, "I'll give you the money!" I give money! I'll give you all the money! I'll give you ten taels of silver! Don't fight anymore! If you continue to fight, a rare good person will be killed by you! ”

The fat man smirked: "Fuck off!" Old man! It's not a matter of ten taels of silver anymore! This is a matter of Lao Tzu's face! If I don't kill him today, who else will be afraid of me on this street in the future?! ”

Li Chuxi gritted his teeth and looked at them hatefully.

"Officers and soldiers are coming! Officers and soldiers are coming! Someone shouted.

The vegetable farmer hurriedly beckoned: "Come on!" Come on! Death is going to happen here! ”

The officers and soldiers came over, but they scolded the old man and said, "Shut up! What is the nonsense! Are you blind to us! ”

The fat man ordered the man to stop, and smiled at the soldier leader: "Brother! Coincidentally, it turned out to be you. ”

The soldier leader glanced at his eyes, nodded and said, "It turned out to be the fat brother, what's the matter, what's going on here?" ”

The vegetable farmer hurriedly helped Li Chuxi up, and asked repeatedly, "Little brother, are you okay?" You go quickly, for ten taels of silver, if you lose your life, it is not worth it. ”

Li Chuxi shook his head: "This is no longer a matter of ten taels of silver. ”

The vegetable farmer sighed: "Why are you still shaking your head, why are you so strong!" ”

The fat man glanced at the two of them and smiled disdainfully: "Today I went to this old man to buy vegetables, and obviously gave him ten taels of silver, but he didn't admit it, and he was disrespectful to me and the official master!" We were trying to teach him a lesson, but out of nowhere came a mute who bared his teeth at me, and didn't take our government in his eyes at all. ”

The soldier leader frowned: "Less set almost!" You and the relatives who can't fight with the old man, even if it's a bowl of salt soup mixed with eighteen buckets of water, it should be tasteless, right? This has actually become your arrogant capital here? ”

The fat man's face was blue and red for a while, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.

The soldier leader looked at the vegetable farmer again: "Is that what he said?" You have received money from others, but you have not admitted it? ”

The vegetable farmer hurriedly said: "Master Mingjian! The little old man's income today is all in this money bag, which is full of copper plates, and there is no silver at all! ”

The soldier leader said: "Can someone testify to you?" ”

The fat man hurriedly said, "Yes, old man! Can anyone testify to you? Yes? Stand out! Who can testify against him? ”

The crowd of onlookers turned their heads and ears, but no one stood up.

The soldier leader said: "Since no one testifies, it means that you are lying, and I will condemn you!" ”

The vegetable farmer was shocked: "Ah! Master Mingjian! How can it be judged like this! ”

"If there are no witnesses to prove what you say, then you are lying! Lord Ben sentenced you to return the money to the fat man quickly! Otherwise, the great punishment is waiting! ”

The vegetable farmer exclaimed, "Come and help me testify!" So many people saw it just now! Please! Help me! ”

The soldier leader said coldly: "Everyone who sees it comes out to say something, but I want to remind you that if you dare to talk nonsense, you will have to pay the price." ”

The onlookers quickly lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

At this time, Li Chuxi stepped forward and stood in front of the leader.

He said, "I testify. ”

The soldier leader glanced at him and said, "Dumb? What for? ”

The vegetable farmer said, "He can testify for me!" Isn't it, little brother? ”

Li Chu nodded.

The soldier leader smiled: "It's ridiculous, find someone who can't speak to be a witness!" ”

He shook his head and continued to ask, "Who will testify?" If there is no one to testify, then I will be sentenced! ”

Li Chuxi said: "I testify!" ”

The leader of the soldiers shouted, "Who will testify?" ”

Li Chuxi said: "I'll testify!" ”

"Looks like there's no one......"

"I testify!" Li Chu used the greatest strength in his life!

"I testify!" His eyes widened and his fists clenched!

With all his might, he let out the most angry cry from the bottom of his heart!

"I testify!"

The soldier leader said: "No one testifies? Then I'll be sentenced......"

"I testify!"

"I testify!"

"I testify!"

Li Chuxi's voice was hoarse, he saw the desperate tears of the vegetable farmers, he saw the fat man sneering proudly, he saw the soldiers smiling with peace of mind, and he saw the sighs or indifference of the onlookers......

He saw the evil that was trembling and moaning at his feet......

He trembled, using all his strength......

"I testify! I got it! ”

He finally shouted a deafening sound!

He finally made the loudest voice of his life!

He stunned everyone!

He made the world tremble!

His eyes widened with rage, and he tensed his whole body......

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood mist stained half the sky red.

Then he slowly fell backwards......

With a plop, he made a second loud bang.
