The thieves of Qingkan Mountain were caught, and there was such an exciting good news in the next two days of the New Year, which was really a great joy, and after learning that it was the Zhenwei Dart Bureau that captured the thief chieftain, the people once regarded them as heroes.

Although Ma Da and his gang of bandits never attack ordinary people, whether they have their own principles of action, they don't look down on that bit of money, but this can't change the nature of their bandits after all.

For ordinary people, they are the same calamity as snakes, rats, tigers and wolves, and now there are people who do the right thing for heaven, so it is natural to praise them greatly.

Hong Wuye, who somehow became a big hero, was actually not happy at all, because when the county commander Ma sent someone to escort the thieves back, in the hall, the first thing Ma Da Boss said was-

"My lord, I have already done everything you asked, and please don't break my word."

As soon as she heard this, several of the little leaders who were escorted up together glared at her angrily, and one of them immediately spat him and scolded: "Lao Tzu is really blind and mistakenly believes that you are such a bastard who betrayed his brother!" ”

The rest of the men were also full of swear words, and some even tried to pounce, hoping to bite off a piece of meat from him on the spot, but were stopped by the officers.

The leader of Martha closed his eyes and accepted all these foul words.

Bang Bang - The startling wood was slapped loudly, and the county magistrate Ma who was sitting on it was extremely tall today, with a chubby round face and two small eyes that showed the shrewdness of a businessman.

"Shut up to the officials, above the public court, how can you be presumptuous."

Ma Xian Ling first pointed to those small leaders and ordered: "Put these thieves in prison, and after verifying their correct bodies, they will immediately correct the law." ”

This order continues, and everyone applauds the lively people outside, who cares if you are a hero in the green forest or a domineering thief, the bandit industry is the black sheep in the universal values.

The leader of Ma Da listened to the scolding and gradually went away, and his mood was very complicated, as if it was a matter, and it seemed that there was a lot of baggage, but fortunately, this matter was over, and he had settled for the rest of his life, although his brothers were cut off, he could still live a stable life with his wife and children.

On top of this court, the leader of Ma Da had already begun to look forward to his future life, but the Ma County Commander gave him a thunderbolt on the spot.

"Someone is coming, take Feng and his two sons."

The leader of Ma Da hurriedly turned around, and in a burst of crying fathers and mothers, two richly dressed sons and brothers were dragged to the hall, followed by their mothers, even if they were shackled, their faces still did not change, and their expressions were as usual.

At the sight of the woman, the eyes of the leader of Martha turned red, and the woman looked at him, but did not speak, but sighed.

Ma Xian Ling didn't care about this human situation, he just pointed to the big leader of the horse and asked Feng: "Feng, this official asked you, is this person your husband?" ”

Feng lowered his head and replied, "Back to the words of the lord, exactly." ”

"Okay," Ma Xianling nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "This official asks you again, your family has money, but this person did the thing of a thief and took it by force." ”

"Yes." Fung remains outspoken.

"Good."

Smack-Ma County ordered a startled sound interrupted the exclamation and denunciation of the onlookers, and he sentenced: "The court decree that the crime of the mountain bandits should have been beaten to death with a stick, but this official remembered that you are also doing more good deeds in this county, so he will give you a good time, come and drag their family down and behead them." ”

"My lord, my lord, I have been wronged! How could this thief be my father! ”

"Your Excellency! The grass people, the grass people must have been framed....... Mother, say something quickly! ”

The two young masters of the Feng family were dragged out crying, but the Feng family had a bit of backbone, so they didn't have to be dragged by the messenger and walked out by themselves.

"Dog officer! Thou hast made this treacherous trick to deceive so-and-so! ”

The leader of Ma Da suddenly erupted in silence, and his blood-red eyes were about to rush towards the county order of Nama, and he was so frightened that he hid under the table.

Fortunately, the officers were worried about his martial arts skills, so they put several chains on him, and the four of them worked together to drag him back to the same place.

Ma Xian Ling felt embarrassed in front of everyone, crawled out from under the table with a red face, and scolded angrily: "Messing around! This official is a dignified court and county order, how can he have anything to do with you, a rebel in the mountains and wilderness, take it down and bring it down! ”

A group of officers dragged the leader of the horse out of the way, and he didn't listen to the dog officer and the dog officer along the way, which made the county commander of Nama very angry.

Ben still wanted to stay and say a few polite words to the Zhenwei Dart Bureau that eliminated harm for the people, but the words of the big leader of Ma were really annoying, and Ma County Ling forgot about it when he was angry.

The three people in the hall were a little embarrassed at this time, Chen Darthead wanted to speak and stopped, Yu Darthead was dissatisfied with the attitude of the county order, or Hong Wuye slowly came back to his senses, and he hurriedly pulled the two of them to leave.

"Fifth Master, what's wrong with you?" Yu Dart was confused, and his tone was very aggrieved: "We gave up our lives to kill this group of thieves surnamed Ma for his court, not to mention the reward, why didn't we even have a kind word." ”

"This matter is strange, I see that the words of the surnamed Ma are not right, there must be a ghost here, let's go quickly, don't wade into this troubled water again!"

To say that this Hong Wuye's intuition is indeed quite accurate, Ma Xian Ling was angry in the back hall for a while, so he quickly cleaned up his face, and stepped forward to salute the other person in a flattering manner: "The lower official has seen Lord Zongqi." ”

The county of the imperial court is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the county order is naturally divided into three classes, such as the county order of Ma County, which governs the county order of a remote small county, and the official position is only from the seven grades, and the general banner of Jinyi Wei is the seventh grade.

Yavin

Don't say it's the general flag, it's a small flag, he should lower his posture or put it, after all, this is a brocade guard.

"Master Ma."

The Lord General Banner was not polite at all, and after receiving his salute, he just looked at him with a sneer and said, "You have a good life this day, and we have let us do everything for you, so happy." ”

Master Ma was annoyed by the rudeness of the brocade guard, but his face became more and more flattering: "It's the fault of the lower officials that the adults are bothered." ”

The general banner was disdainful of him, and said vigorously: "Okay, you don't have to behave here, this official advises you, while the time is still early, take the initiative to submit your resignation to the top." ”

Ma Xianling was taken aback, and hurriedly tugged at the sleeve of the general flag and asked, "This, why is this?" But what did the lower officials do wrong? ”

The general flag threw him to the ground, looked at him coldly, and said: "Master Ma is not the first day of being an official, why don't you even understand this truth, for the imperial court, corrupt officials deserve to die, mediocre officials deserve to die, and incompetent officials like you deserve to die." ”

"This, this ......"

"I don't think you let this group of thieves make a big incident, the adults are open to you, leaving you a dog to go back to your hometown to care for the elderly, I don't know how to thank you, and dare to ask why, heh."

Zongqi flicked his sleeves and strode away, leaving Ma Xianling pale and at a loss.

The bandits in Qingkan Mountain were all beheaded, and a few days later, Ma Xian Ling finally couldn't stand the sharp blade hanging around his neck, and handed in his resignation and went back to his hometown.

At this time, Lu Hanjiang and Shang Luo had already left the place in a carriage.

On the way, Lu Hanjiang asked Shang Luo: "What's the matter, this brotherhood is really worthless, right?" ”

"Xiao Lu, you're cheating!" Shang Luo said angrily: "You threaten him with family affection, although the people of the rivers and lakes value friendship, but, but you can't change it like this." ”

Lu Hanjiang didn't care, he said: "I don't just use his family as a bargaining chip, doesn't this also promise him a stable life and status in the future?" ”

"You, you're not relying on your position to buy him!"

Lu Hanjiang said with a smile: "What you said is not right, when you get something, it is called buying, I am just using a bunch of empty words to earn him now, it is not dependent on status, as long as you have the courage to pretend, you can offer him a price to be the master of the Xuantian Sect, it depends on whether he wants it or not." ”

"This, I ......"

Although Shang Luo couldn't find any loopholes, she was still very unconvinced, she said, "No, this doesn't count." ”

"Okay then," Lu Hanjiang didn't insist, he said casually: "Anyway, there is still time on this road, I'll pick another one next time." ”

How strange is this sound, Shang Luo hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "Xiao Lu, isn't it a little bad for us to be like this, although these people are bad people, but ......?"

"Why do you think that?" Lu Hanjiang pretended to look at her in surprise, and then said earnestly: "Silly girl, don't care about the process, think about the result, the wicked have been punished, and we have gained happiness, huh...... Edutainment, you see, isn't it a win-win? ”

Such a crooked reasoning was said by Lu Hanjiang seriously, Shang Luo did feel that something was wrong at first, but she didn't know how to refute it.

Lu Hanjiang stretched out his hand and stroked her head, and said softly: "Don't worry, we have sanctioned the wicked and given them the punishment they deserve, but we are just embellishing their endings with some other colors, which is not a big deal." ”

"Really? What if," Shang Luo bit her lip and asked, "If that isn't a wicked person, or a ..... who doesn't sin to death?"

"You think too much, you have to know that you are doing the right thing for heaven, doing what everyone on the rivers and lakes is doing, do you see that they are not relying on their martial arts, they will draw their swords when they say a word of corrupt officials, and kill people if they scold a thief? So you can rest assured, don't say that the result is okay now, but there are some deviations...... It's all acceptable. ”

"Yes, that's ......"

Shang Luo tried to accept such a statement, she raised her head, and suddenly seemed to see some strange smiles on Lu Hanjiang's face, she sighed lightly, and blinked again, but found that the other party's smile was as usual.

Perhaps, she was wrong......
