Chapter 767: Murder
readx;
Shangguan Xiu and Meng Qiuchen were discussing in the hall when there was a sudden noise outside the hall. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Shangguan Xiu frowned slightly, turned his head sideways and said, "Absolutely, go and see, what's going on!"
"Yes, my lord!" Xiao Jue agreed, and was just about to go out, when a gendarme walked in briskly from the outside, bowed to Shangguanxiu, and said, "My lord, someone outside the hotel has come to avenge his grievances. ”
Xiao Jue asked in a deep voice: "Who is so bold as to dare to go to the Zhenguo Gong's mansion to avenge his grievances?"
The gendarme replied respectfully: "Returning to the general, the person who avenges the grievance is our Feng people, and he is still ...... Also ......"
"What else?"
"A corpse was also brought, saying that the son was beaten to death by the Bessa!"
Shangguan Xiu asked, "Why don't you go to the government to seek justice?"
"Say...... said that the government did not take care of it. ”
Hearing this, everyone present frowned. The wind man let the Besa people beat them to death, and the government still didn't care? It's a joke. Shangguan Xiu raised his head and said, "Bring in the person who avenges the grievances, and I will personally inquire about it." ”
"Yes, sir!" said the gendarme, and ran out quickly.
Shangguan Xiu shook his head at Meng Qiuchen, Xiao Jue, and Wu Yufei, and said, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look, in the territory of the Wind Country, the Wind People let the Besa people beat them to death, and the Yamen didn't care, how can this be reasonable!"
Everyone also felt that this matter was incredible, there were indeed many Besa officials in the yamen of Beijun, but no matter how much they were inclined to the Besa people, they shouldn't be so blatant!
When I got to the outside of the building, I raised my eyes to look at the courtyard, and saw a large group of people walking in from outside the courtyard gate, wearing linen and filial piety, and one of them was also carrying a big white flag, on which was written a blood-red injustice.
There were also several young men, some carrying stretchers, some carrying wooden frames, and on the wooden frames were a pair of broken armor.
Led by a pair of white-haired old men, the old man and the old woman are already sixty years away, their faces are full of wrinkles, at this time they are full of tears, with a crying voice, wiping their tears while walking, "Adult, the villain is wronged, the adult wants to be the master of the villain, and he wants to be the master of our Fengren!"
Shangguan Xiu raised his eyes for a moment, walked down the steps, and went straight to the pair of elderly old men, and when he came to the front of the second elder, he bowed his hand and said: "In Xia Shangguan Xiu, what grievances do the two old people have, although they come to me, if it is true, Xiu will make the decision for the two old men and seek justice!"
As soon as they heard that he was Shangguan Xiu, the two old men cried even more fiercely, and together with the men and women behind them, they knelt on the ground and cried: "Wronged, wronged, ...... my lord"
Xiao Jue looked at Shangguan Xiu, who was not good-looking, he took two steps forward, helped the two old men up, and said: "The adults are kind-hearted and love the people like children, as long as you take care of them, just tell the adults!"
"My lord, the villain moved his family to Beijun, and bought a small manor outside Xiuyue City, thinking that he would be able to settle down here in the future, but not long ago, the yamen suddenly ordered us to give up the house and return it to the Besa people.
"The villain is a wind man, and he will naturally respond to the call of our Fengguo Yamen, and is willing to give up the manor, but the villain's belongings are in the manor, and when they are cleaned up, how can they be cleaned up in one day or two, and the Besa people come to the door to make trouble in three days, and they have to drive our whole family away, and after a little argument, they will add up their fists and feet, and the villain's son, the villain's youngest son, was beaten to death by them!"
The old man cried as he walked to the stretcher, lifted the white sheet from above, and revealed the corpse of a young man, covered with blood, with wide eyes and a dead face, which had been dead for a long time.
After looking at it, Shangguan Xiu's face was expressionless, but two cold lights shot out of his eyes, and the fist behind his back was clenched tighter and tighter. What is called kicking the nose in the face, this is used on the Besa people, it is appropriate, it has deceived people too much!
The old man pointed to the armor on the wooden frame and cried: "My lord, the eldest son of the villain, is also the wind army, and in the national war, Gabri of Besa!" As he spoke, he walked tremblingly to the wooden frame, tore off the military badge hanging on the armor, returned to Shangguan Xiu, and handed it to him respectfully.
"The eldest son of the villain was killed by the Bessa, and that was to be loyal to the country, but now the youngest son of the villain has been killed by the Bessa, what is this?
Shangguan Xiu took the military badge he handed over, which was engraved with the words of the 19th Legion. He held the military card tightly in his palm, and after a long time, he asked, "The old man has already looked for the yamen?"
"Yes, my lord......"
"The yamen ignores it?"
"The adults in the yamen said that the fault was on the villain's family, and since they had taken the compensation from the yamen, they should move immediately, and if they didn't move within the time limit, they would be beaten to death...... I deserve it!"
Shangguan Xiu's anger burned from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He held the military card in his hand and said, "Old man, take me to your manor, I want to see what makes the Besa people so arrogant!"
Xiao Jue immediately took a war horse from the gendarmes on the side, Shangguan Xiu took the reins, turned over on the horse, and said to the old man who was still kneeling on the ground and refused to get up: "Old man, please lead the way." ”
Shangguan Xiu didn't bring too many soldiers and horses, only Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and more than 100 gendarmes to the old man's manor outside the city. In addition, he asked Meng Qiuchen to go to the county guard mansion and asked Liu Yun whether the current yamen is the yamen of the Feng Country or the Yamen of the Besa country, if the yamen cannot treat the Fengren fairly, then it is better to tear down and rebuild and replace all the officials inside from top to bottom.
A manor outside the city of Xiuyue.
The small manor in Lao Suo's mouth is not small at all, with horse farms, cattle farms, and a lot of arable land. Of course, in Shangguan Xiu's eyes, this is all trivial and irrelevant, the key is to repay debts and kill people to pay for their lives.
At the gate of the manor, there was also a large group of Bessa, like the people who avenged their grievances, among them men and women, old and young, obviously also a large family.
Seeing the group of Bessa, Lao Suo came to his senses, ran to Shangguanxiu's horse, pointed in the direction of the Besa people, and said loudly: "My lord, it's them, it's they who killed the villain's son!"
"I see!" Shangguan Xiu urged the horse over. When he got close to the group of Bessa, he stopped his crotch and dismounted, looked around, and asked in Bessa: "This manor belonged to you?"
"Yes, this lord is ......" Just by Shangguan Xiu's dress, even if the Besa people didn't know him, they could see that his identity was unusual, not to mention, there were so many soldiers on his left and right.
Shangguan Xiu didn't bother to report his name, he pointed back to the stretcher carried by Lao Suo's family, and asked, "The person on the stretcher was killed by you?"
"This lord, it's their hand that strikes first!" In the crowd of Besa, a burly and strong man with a full face walked out, raised his head, looked at Shangguan Xiu who was sitting on a horse, and said angrily.
Shangguan Xiu nodded, and then asked, "Who is the killer?"
The strong man looked back at the rest of the Bessa, then at Shangguanxiu, and said, "Yes...... It was the villain who tore him and killed him by mistake, but this is also for a reason......"
Without waiting for him to finish, Shangguan Xiu didn't say anything, drew the knife in his hand, and waved it outward, and a cold light appeared in the air.
The strong man's body was still standing in place, but the head on his neck had bounced into the air. A bloody arrow, spurted out from the broken neck, like a red fountain.
Sand!
Shangguan Xiu put the knife into the sheath. How he drew the knife, how he came out of the knife, and how he finally collected the knife, few people present could see it clearly, only felt that the cold flashed, and the strong man's head was separated.
It wasn't until the headless corpse of the strong man fell straight to the ground that the group of Bessa behind came back to their senses, and suddenly the heart-rending cries of the scene rang out, and men, women, and children threw themselves in front of the corpse and knelt on the ground and wept.
Shangguan Xiu glanced at it coldly, turned the horse's head, and said: "Killing people pays for life, it is justified, if you are not satisfied, just go into the city to find me, my name is Shangguan Xiu!" After speaking, he didn't bother to take another look, knocked off the stirrups with both feet, returned the same way, and headed towards the city.
This situation and this scene made the people present all excited, and the people shouted in unison: "My lord is wise! My lord is wise!"
Hearing the shouts of the people, the corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth were raised, and he smiled, and it was difficult to hide his smugness. His pride didn't last long, and halfway back, dozens of horsemen rushed in front of him, looking at the clothes, most of them were the government soldiers of the county guard.
Shangguan Xiu was about to go to the county guard mansion in person after returning to the city to hold the county guard officials accountable for their negligence.
When the dozens of horsemen came closer, Shangguan Xiu looked at it, and the one who was the leader was not someone else, it was the new county guard-Liu Yun.
Liu Yun was sweating all over his head, his face was anxious, seeing this, Shangguan Xiu asked with a smile: "Lord Liu, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Turning over and dismounting, Liu Yun quickly walked to the front of Shangguan Xiu, bowed his hand, and said, "My lord, I heard that my lord skipped the county guard mansion and directly intervened in a murder case. ”
"Oh? It turns out that Lord Liu, who has a lot of opportunities, also knows about this murder. Shangguan Xiu's heart burned with anger, and he spoke with a weird yin and yang atmosphere, he raised his chin and said, "Lord Liu is late, I have already dealt with this murder case." ”
"Big ...... How do you deal with it?"
"What else can I do? Naturally, killing people pays for their lives!" Shangguan Xiu looked at Liu Yun and said slowly: "The murderer, I have just been corrected by me on the spot, and the justice of the Fengren has been recovered for them, so Lord Liu doesn't have to go anymore, accompany me to the county guard's mansion!"
When Liu Yun heard this, his head buzzed, the corners of his mouth were almost under his ears, looking at Shangguan Xiu, who was sitting on a horse with a smug face, he didn't know what to say for a while, and after holding it for a while, he spit out a sentence: "My lord has overstepped!"
