Text Chapter 54, Fengping County
All the way to the rush, when arriving at Fengping County has not entered. When you enter the city gate, you don't need to ask for directions, you can hear the county officials trying the case at the yamen from a distance. Hearing the sound, I saw that there were many people piled up inside and outside the square at the entrance of the yamen, and it was not easy to squeeze in. And he saw that there were servants who separated the people and vacated a large piece of land in the middle. On the steps of the yamen, there are two chairs, one of which is in the center, and there is a person who is an official, about fifty years old, ugly and beardless, with a round body, and judging by his clothing, he should be the county official here. Under the hand position, there is another person, about forty or so, although this person is not chic, but there is some heroic air, but the skin is dark, look at his body burly, his eyes are bright, he should be a practitioner, and there is a killing intent around his body, unconsciously, it seems to be rolling over in the battlefield, but at this time he is wearing the clothes of a wealthy businessman, holding a literati folding fan in his hand, no matter how you look at it, there is a feeling of nondescriptry.
On the square, there were three kneeling people, coarse in linen, tied up with flowers, and they couldn't lift their heads. In front of them stood another literati in his forties, but although this person looked old, dressed in plain clothes, and his hair was neatly combed and neatly combed, he still had a cunning look in his eyes. There, they talked about the sins of a few people, and warned everyone about them.
"This is probably the master. The dean said in his heart.
Xiao'er was puzzled in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, Xiao'er knows that the trial is all in the yamen, why do these people try the case at the yamen, do they want to kill people?
Before the dean could answer, a white-haired old man next to him spoke: "Little doll, you know quite a lot. How old are you?"
Xiao'er was also happy when she heard someone praise herself, and said: "Xiao'er is three years old this year, and these are all stories that my godmother tells with Xiao'er on weekdays, so Xiao'er knows." Xiao'er replied seriously.
The old man originally saw Xiao'er's cute appearance, but he was sensible and reasonable, so he accosted him, but now he heard Xiao'er so well-behaved, and he loved it even more, and said: "Three years old, if there is murder here, aren't you afraid." How dare you come to watch. ”
"Xiao'er has grown up, she can distinguish between right and wrong, how can she be afraid, and besides, the master and grandfather are still with Xiao'er. Said with a smile.
The old man saw that there was still a person standing next to Xiao'er, and nodded, the old man seemed to be moved by Xiao'er's words, and said with emotion: "Distinguish between right and wrong, if the people in this city are sensible and sensible, how can these three people be humiliated here?"
Xiao'er heard what the man said, saying that they colluded with the mountain bandits, harbored evil intentions, and wanted to go to Beijing to sue the imperial court, slander the county officials, and disturb the public order in Fengping County. Said with a smile.
"Keep your voice down. The old man hurriedly said, and then whispered: "If the official heard what he said just now, don't look at your young age, you will also be caught kneeling there." The three of them are bad people, it's really ridiculous, they are the heroes of Fengping County, but their lives are not good. ”
"Hero, you should be a good person. Then why didn't you save them?" asked Xiao'er.
"How to save. You can see these officers. We all have knives in our hands, and even if we want to save them, who would dare to provoke them? The old man said, his hand lightly tapped the field, and the person who was sitting in the lower hand just quickly put down his fingers, afraid that someone would see him, and continued: "Who doesn't know that he is the big boss of Fengping Village, and his skills are so high, that is, dozens of people can't get close to him, and with him in charge, who dares to be presumptuous." ”
Hearing what the old man said, the dean also glanced at the man, and said in his heart: "Just think, you may hide somewhere in the county office, and you don't want to sit there blatantly, but it really saves you the effort to find you." ”
The old man paused for a moment and continued: "As for the county official, I don't know how to collude with the mountain bandits, and there are countless taxes and miscellaneous taxes on weekdays, and the people in the county are miserable. Even some people, who are really scared, hide away, and will be caught halfway and kneel there again. Since then, no one has dared to flee, and no one has dared to disobey. Even if some people are not angry and try their best to complain in Hecheng, it will be unsuccessful, and the person who complains will eventually kneel there for several days, and finally be ordered by the county official to be beaten to death in the field. These few days are also to deter the people in our county, so that we dare not make a mistake. As the old man spoke, tears fell.
The dean asked in a low voice, "Haven't you ever thought about rebellion?"
The old man was startled, and his tears were gone, but he kept sweating on his body, and said nervously: "Do you want to die? Not only are there officials here, but even those mountain bandits will enter the city from time to time, even if there are many of us, and there are more ferocious and rebelling than the other party, it is just looking for death. After the old man finished speaking, he saw that there were no officers and soldiers around to hear it, so he was relieved, and said in a low voice: "Do you know that the three people kneeling there were because they couldn't bear the suffering of the people, relying on their own martial arts, secretly organized people to resist, and the others were killed, and several of them had no choice but to flee, and wanted to go to Beijing to sue the emperor, but they didn't want to be captured by the big boss halfway and brought back." They have been kneeling here for five days, and they will surely be killed by the rod today. What kind of sin did we do to be the county magistrate here by this surnamed Zhu. The old man didn't know why, so he said so much to Xiao'er and the others, maybe it was to say goodbye to this kind of scene, maybe it was to think of his grandson who died because of resistance, in short, he said it all at once.
The dean was pondering what kind of high pressure made the people in the county only promise and did not dare to resist. But Xiao'er was different, he was already angry, but when he heard the county official's surname Zhu, he laughed out loud and said loudly: "County official Zhu, look at his fat body, there is indeed no difference between him and a pig." ”
It's just that his voice is so loud, like a frying pan, that the officials have already rushed up when they heard it, and the people around Xiao'er have already been frightened to hide in Tibet, even the old man who just spoke, and he doesn't know where to hide at this time. Only Xiao'er, the dean, and Bai Liang at the dean's feet were left in the room. All the officials gathered around, and the master in the distance even said: "If you dare to insult the county official, take it down for me." Someone in the government officials made a move, and where was Xiao'er willing to let them catch it, or a punch, or a kick, all the officials fell to the ground one after another, and the master in the distance saw this, and was directly frightened and hid behind the big boss. The big boss roared angrily: "My flying bear is here, who dares to be presumptuous." As he spoke, he slapped the stool and jumped up, only to see others in the air, his whole body was full of gold, with his dark skin and burly body, he was really like a flying bear.
After Xiao'er was injured, how dare the dean let him be a strong enemy, he shot directly, and with a few swings in his left hand, there was a pillar of wind that crashed into the big boss, and the white air appeared under his feet, and the person jumped directly into the air behind him, and the dagger in his right hand swept by, and the head of the flying bear immediately flew up, blood sprayed, and the dead body fell to the ground, and the dean saw this, and said: "Along the way, all the immortals have been depressed for a long time, even if you are unlucky, a broken high-level martial artist still wants to shoot at me." ”
Xiao'er held the short sword in her hand at this time, and said loudly: "Grandpa, how did you kill him, Xiao'er can't even try this short sword." ”
"It's okay, the one surnamed Zhu will be handed over to you for slaughter in a while, and grandpa won't do it again. The dean was depressed and said with a smile.
When everyone saw this man, they killed the big boss of Fengpingzhai in the blink of an eye, and they talked and laughed with the child, as if they didn't put everyone in their eyes, they were already stupid, stunned, and the county official also fell under the chair, and heard the man say that he would hand himself over to the child to be slaughtered, and he was already so frightened that his soul flew away, and he desperately crawled towards the yamen. Seeing this, Xiao'er jumped up in a few steps and stepped on the other party with one foot. When the county magistrate saw the child stepping on him, he was even more frightened, and climbed harder, but although the child was small, he had great strength, and the county magistrate had his hands and feet for a long time, and his body did not advance at all.
smiled and said: "You don't want to be a pig like this, but like a big king." Grandpa said that I would kill the bad guys, and they all said that you were the bad guys, and they would kill you if they laughed. As he spoke, he raised his sword and stabbed.
The master was finally scared at this time, deeply afraid that as soon as the county official died, the next one would be himself, so he hurriedly shouted: "Slow." ”
Xiao'er didn't care about those, a sword pierced from the back of the county official's head, stretched out from his mouth, and the sharpness of the sword pierced the bluestone on the ground, nailing the county official there. Xiao'er said happily: "The weapon that Grandpa Huang gave to Xiao'er is fast." ”
Seeing that the county official was dead, the master finally beat his spirit, his hands and feet trembled, and he reprimanded: "Who are you, I don't know if it is a big crime to disrupt the court and kill the court officials?"
The dean ignored him, Xiao'er had already pulled up the short sword at this time, turned his head and asked the master and grandfather, "Grandpa, is he also a bad person?"
"He's just an accomplice, and we still have to keep some alive so that the army can come and interrogate him, so we don't have to kill him. The dean said.
When the master heard this, he knew that his life had been saved, but he still had some courage and asked carefully: "Who are you? Why do you want to kill the imperial court officials?"
The dean was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, but he also wanted to solve the trouble later, or took out a brand from his arms, let the other party take a look, the master's eyes were good, and he saw a few words on it, among which "White Tiger Hou" was even more conspicuous, although he had never heard of White Tiger Hou, but he also knew that this card was not fake, even if it was fake, he had to take it seriously, otherwise the other party's words, the short blade in the child's hand would be stabbed in his body, so that he would die. Immediately knelt down and said: "The grass people didn't know that the Hou Ye had arrived, so they spoke recklessly. All this is done by the master and the big boss, and it has nothing to do with me, please be gracious. ”
The people around the people, hearing that the master called the other party Hou Ye, instantly fried the pot, everyone discussed, saying that Kyoto had not forgotten everyone and sent Hou Ye to deal with the corrupt officials, and many people cried loudly, thanking God for opening their eyes and kowtowing. Xiao'er was a little confused, and muttered, "When will Grandpa Master become Master Hou again?"
Seeing everyone crying, the dean gathered his dantian and said loudly: "Everyone is quiet." ”
This loud noise finally suppressed everyone's voices, and when everyone was quiet, the dean continued: "Fengping County has such a wicked person, I, as the marquis of the Holy Martial Kingdom, naturally will not sit idly by, and in a few days, an army will come to review the case, in order to prevent the remaining prisoners from escaping, you first tie them up, take care of them, and don't let one go." ”
This passage is like a stormy wave, the people rushed up, and tied up the injured and fallen officials, mountain bandits, and the master who kowtowed and begged for mercy. The dean was afraid that everyone would beat the prisoners to death, so he said a few more loudly, and everyone stopped, but at this moment, the officials, including the master, were covered in blood, and even the clothes on their bodies were a little unable to cover their bodies.
When the dean proposed that the prisoners should also kneel on the field and wait for the army to arrive, everyone applauded. Soon they were pushed in and guarded. Even the dead boss and county official were tied up, posed, and kneeled in the middle of the field. It seems that the hatred in everyone's hearts has been suppressed for a long time.
