Chapter 21: The Ghost Sword Trial
And the messengers were commanded to come out. This one asks that, "I seem to have a bit of a problem with this ear lately." The one replied, "I'm wondering if I heard it wrong?" ”
"What do you hear...... Is it Master Zhao? ”
"Right~"
"Oh, I thought I had misheard," said one of the catchers, "then arrest him, since the Lord has ordered it, it doesn't matter if he is Master Zhao or Master Wang." ”
That's what he said when he said it, he really arrived at the Zhao Mansion, but no one dared to go in on a rampage. The group waited at the door, and asked the man (that is, the gatekeeper) to go in and report to Master Zhao, and respectfully invite the master to come out. "If the yamen is open to the south, there is no reason to come in if there is no money", if the errand is ordered to catch the poor, he will kick the door open and go in and press the person to the ground; When it came to Master Zhao, no one dared to get started! When Master Zhao came out, these messengers only supported him, saying that Master Li was invited.
Master Zhao is a smart person, come out and take a look, everyone has come to the house, so let's go. No matter how rich you are, no matter how good your friendship with the county order was in the past, you can't help but listen to the words of the yamen. This is the same as now, no matter how angry the big boss is, a random traffic police officer will stop your car, do you dare not stop? Dare to rush straight over?
The poor people are afraid of offending people, they are not tied up, only the head is open in front of the road, this Zhao master is free hands and feet, and follows the "law enforcement department" to the yamen, along the way the pedestrians see Zhao Lao Ye nodded and bowed, Zhao nodded and waved, just like taking the house slave out for a walk.
When he was about to arrive at the yamen, Mr. Zhao said in his heart: What can this be? Probably Master Li invited me to drink tea and catch up. Or is it that the money given yesterday is too little for Master Li? Hey, just say no, what's the point of moving people like this?
Master Li was waiting in the hall, and called outside: "Master Zhao is here." ”
Master Li gritted his teeth angrily: "What master? You turtle grandson! Prisoners go to court! ”
The messenger next to Master Zhao said "rude", so he had to follow the master's order, tear apart Master Zhao's arms left and right, and escort Master Zhao to the court.
Master Zhao came to the hall and knelt down, squeezing his eyebrows at Master Li, which means: It's almost there, I'll be enough to give you face!
Master Li ignored Master Zhao, patted the wood, and asked first: "Who shouted 'Master' just now?" ”
The poor man at the bottom said timidly: "Go back to my lord, I shouted." ”
"Okay," said Master Li, "come on! Drag the two of them down, fifty hip canes! ”
The poor people were stunned, they had never seen Master Li with such a big temper!
Master Li roared angrily, "What are you doing standing? Drag it down and hit it hard! ”
If you don't have a rut, then pull it down and fight. The adult also said "hit hard", and he didn't show mercy anymore, he put the two up, took off his pants, and dropped his cane on his buttocks.
This Master Zhao is fifty years old. Forehead...... This, fifty years old is indeed "advanced age", the medical conditions and health level of that year are relatively backward, as the saying goes, "life is rare for seventy years", and it is really a bad old man to live to the age of fifty.
Master Zhao has been proud of his life, no
Cheng Xiang, at this age, was stripped of his buttocks and beaten to the hip cane for fifty. I have described in detail the skills of these beaters who are responsible for the torture before, and they are really "beaten hard", which is terrible, and they are half-crippled if they are not dead. Master Zhao was beaten to the point that his skin was open and his flesh was open, and he screamed again and again. When I was old, where could I withstand this beating, I fell into a coma a few times, and was woken up again by someone splashing me with water. After beating fifty rods, he sent the men back to the church with the half-dead man. The old man of the past scenery was beaten to the point that his bones were about to fall apart, like a worm, squirming in this public court, life is better than death.
This Master Li raised his head and poured wine after the public case, and laughed loudly. Master Li's speech and demeanor were unusual, and everyone had already noticed it, and now he was openly drinking and laughing on the public case, which was very absurd, and everyone was dumbfounded. The heart said, "I'm afraid that the adults have drunk too much and gone crazy?" "But whether he is drunk or not, he is also the county magistrate, only he can command the officials, and the officials have no power or the courage to say that he is not!
Master Li laughed for a while, suddenly looked serious, stood up in a panic, and pointed at the old man Zhao who was squirming on the ground: "What's going on?" Master Zhao, who have you been beaten like this? Come on, I'll call the shots for you! ”
The official was stupid: Didn't you say that he was a prisoner, and let us take him to court and tell us to beat him severely?
Master Zhao was even more frightened: What a drunkard, he forgot about it after the fight? ! Are you really confused or pretending to be confused? If you provoke such a person who has lost his mind, will the old man die here today?
The people below have their own hearts, and no one dares to talk. A certain friend was beaten with fifty buttocks with Master Zhao because he shouted "Master Zhao"!
The hall was silent, Master Li shook his head and sat down, and sighed, "You are talking, Master Zhao!" Don't be afraid, come and see! He pointed back as he spoke.
Behind Master Li, there is a picture of "Rising Sun in the Sea" and a plaque of "Mirror Hanging".
Old Man Zhao said in his heart: Yes, I saw it. Hanging these things obviously doesn't match you.
Master Li said, "Do you see it?" ”
Old Man Zhao was dying: "Ah, yes, yes, I saw it." ”
"That's right," Master Li patted his chest, "Lord Qingtian is here!" Don't be afraid, ah, there are grievances! ”
Master Zhao said: "I am not wronged, I am not wronged. Maybe the old eyes are dizzy and went to the wrong place, and I'll go home now. "Although the whole body is about to be broken up, it is better to crawl home than to fight this "grievance" here!
Master Li shouted and angrily reprimanded: No complaints, no grievances, why are you rolling in the court? How can it be child's play in the public court! Come on~ Drag down the hip cane fifty!
When Master Zhao heard this, he foamed at the mouth and fainted on the spot.
Master Li ordered, "Don't fight again, take care of Master Zhao for me", threw his sleeves and went out, only took two headhunters, and arrived at the gate of Zhao's mansion. The hippie smiling face guarding the door just flattered: "Lord Li is here...... "Lord Li is here" Lord Li raised his leg and kicked open the door, and walked inside.
The entire Zhao Mansion was called over and stood in front of Master Li in a line. Wait for everyone to come together, and stand still
After taking a step, Master Li stopped once and looked at the eyes of this family. It's the same when you go up to everybody and say to them, "Look up and look at me." Master Li walked in front of them and looked at them one by one.
What can other family members think when they see Master Li coming? Either you feel scared or you feel confused, you can see it through your eyes. Finally, when Master Li walked in front of a family, this family's eyes flashed, and he saw that he was thinking about something very quickly in his mind. This family has four in the family, and everyone is called "Little Four", it is he who killed his master Zhao Gongzi by mistake. Be a thief! Master Li only said that he wanted to look at his eyes, but he didn't say that he wanted to ask, and this little four had already racked his brains to think about how to quibble when he was interrogated by adults.
Master Li glanced at him a few times and called him, "Stare at my eyes." ”
Xiao Si's eyes stared at Master Li, and it didn't take a few seconds for his eyes to begin to wander, but as if he was forcing himself, he desperately stared at Master Li with wide eyes. The eyes are wide, but the eyes are loose and unconfident. Xiao Si finally said a word: "My lord, I am afraid if you look at me like this." ”
Master Li glanced at him with contempt and replied, "You have been thinking about it for a long time just now, you can't just think of such a sentence, right?" ”
How did he know what I was thinking when his legs were weak and he almost didn't stand firm?!
Master Li immediately summoned the butler of the Zhao Mansion and asked the housekeeper to take the two head catchers to search all the belongings of this little four, and sure enough, he found a bloodstained knife!
Xiao Si was afraid of being seen, so he kept hiding this blood-stained knife and didn't dare to wash it. Originally, there was a fat man as a substitute for the dead ghost, Xiao Si originally thought that he would wait for the limelight to pass, and then find a way to dispose of this knife, but who knew that today's Lord Li was so abnormal, he actually arrested Master Zhao, and broke into the house to search for this knife! Xiao Si knew that the matter was exposed, so he didn't wait for the head catcher to approach, so he turned around and ran. The two catchers jumped in front of him in a few steps, and tied him into a dumpling in three or two strokes.
The case came to light, Xiao Si was put on death row, and the fat man regained his freedom.
The fat man returns to the inn to meet the little bearded girl. Master Li summoned Master Zhao to the court, and said in a serious tone, "Your hip cane is fifty, and it is for your son." If the Son does not teach, the Father will do the same! Ordered someone to send Master Zhao back to the house, Lord Li took off the black gauze hat, put it on the public case, and left with the wine jug.
Where has Master Li gone? Then you don't need to ask, go drink! This Master Li has long been killed, and what he did today was all hidden in his body, and this sword was manipulating his actions. After dealing with the business, Master Li is walking with his nose at this time, and wherever there is the smell of wine, he will go. Walking around, he came to a wine vat, saw that there was no one on the left and right, and plunged into it. After drinking and drinking until dark, the sword was slightly satisfied, left Master Li's body, and flew towards the inn.
People found the body of Master Li in the vat, and felt that the matter was mysterious and mysterious. There are legends in the streets and alleys: there is such a strange "Cloudy Day Master Li", who has been an official all his life, has only done one thing of personnel, and has been a big man for a day, and then drowned in the wine vat.
