Chapter 177: Underestimate the bullfight
Tang Lu is interrogating Shasi.
Shasi has collapsed, sad these days, has been enduring the torment of conscience, what should have come is still coming, there is no escape!
"Adult, small confession."
"How did you kill Xi Li?"
"My lord, Xi Li is a small neighbor, he and I have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and later, her father recruited him a son-in-law, who is surnamed Xi, which ruined our good deeds. Xi Li promised to marry the little one after divorcing the surnamed Xi, but the little one waited for eighteen years and still didn't move. The surname Xi knows our relationship, he is very proud, and often shows off in front of the small, he says that he is capable and will make money, in fact, he is running the rivers and lakes to sell dog skin plasters, what's the big deal? He is angry, the little one is really unbearable, so he thinks, since the little one can't get it, the little one will make you lose the most beloved, Xi Li deceived the little one, these years, the little one has been waiting for her to divorce, he always shirks and procrastinates, the little one hates them very much, and hates them to the core, so he tries to get rid of Xi Li. Shasi said.
"And how did you do that?"
"When the little one went out to do business, he saw that there was no one in her house, so he came to her house with a boning knife, she was at home, and the little one asked her, are you still divorced? She couldn't leave. The little one asked why, didn't I say I was going to leave eighteen years ago, so I waited for eighteen years, and suddenly I didn't leave, I also delayed, she said that you deserve to be a poor ghost, so many years, how poor are you, originally when you have money, you can consider divorce and marry you, who knows that you are still poor, poor ghost, who wants? She has been scolding me, ruining me, saying that I, has been forcing me, I really can't bear it, I originally planned to leave her life, first kill the surname Xi, she will have no husband, you can be with me with peace of mind, who knows, he has been scolding me, very ugly, not at all like her when she was a child! I didn't expect her to be corrupted by money to this field! She still had innocent feelings when she was a child, but she changed when she grew up, especially when she married a miser husband, she loved money like her life, and she was bent on getting rich, but she was bruised all over her body. The little one asked her when she would marry me, and she said that it was impossible, never, and the little one was disheartened, and the knife fell in his hand, and the evil was born to the side of the guts, and he did not do anything, and then threw it into a dry well in the west of the village when it was almost dark. I didn't expect that the dry well is also a trap, the locals know that there is a dry well on the side of the road, when walking, they will deliberately avoid it, and even cattle, donkeys, horses and other domestic animals know, just come to a wandering monk does not know, and falls down. was found to be rescued, and then because of the bloodstains and his panic, he found that there were still corpses in the well, so he twisted them to the county office, and as a result, he was tortured, he had no money and no power, and the monk became a scapegoat. This case is a small act, what does it have to do with the monk? The Gucheng County Commander is a confused official, he only knows how to extort confessions by torture, simple and rude, and there are many unjust, false and wrongful cases under his hands, like me, I don't know how many, Gucheng County Commander sees the money, as long as it is money, as long as it is given to him, he will make a judgment that is beneficial to the person who sent the money. This is known to even three-year-olds in the entire Gucheng County. We are small people, and we can only barely make ends meet. As for the battle of officialdom, it is unknown. I can't care about it, and I can't control the situation. Shasi said.
"Then you are willing to be punished?" Tang Lu asked.
"Of course I do, but there's still one thing left undone."
"What's the matter?"
"It was the one who killed the surname Xi, and gave up considering that their children had no one to take care of them." Shasi said.
"You still have a conscience, but you still can't escape death if you kill to pay for your life. One more thing, who are you Dr. Tea? Why did I tweak you? Tang Lu asked.
"This is simple, the people in the village are optimistic about the little one, sympathize with the small one, but they are very dissatisfied with that Xi Li family, because she doesn't talk much, and she hurts the little one, and she has not yet started a family, that person is a liar, damn it. The small one killed Xi Li's family, but he actually eliminated harm for the people. ”
"Without this reason, you don't respect life and disregard human life. I think it makes sense. It's a joke, you wantonly deprive others of their lives and trample on their right to live, and you should be severely punished. You say that people love money, do you also love money? You say that people delay you and laugh at you for being poor, haven't you been waiting for pie to fall from the sky? You don't work hard, don't find a way to get money, and blindly complain about the injustice of fate? Complaining every day, why don't you work hard? Don't want to think about how to change your mind? You have time to complain, you have time to work hard to change the status quo, if you change early, you will have a family early, have your own home, you will not be obsessed with other people's homes, you have your own wife, you will not worry about other people's wives, even if you have a good relationship when you are a child, when you grow up, you have your own family, you have your own family, you have to be responsible for your own family, responsible for your own family, responsible for your own conscience, do you think you have done the right thing all these years? When you do this, you are actually not responsible for yourself, your family, or your village, it seems that you are a good person, but in fact you are a murderous demon, Shasi, in fact, you are going to harm people, in your own way. Let a lot of people be deceived. This official knows a lot of murderers, and the reason why they kill people is very simple, that is, they don't like the eye, their hearts are uncomfortable, and they are unbalanced, and they want to satisfy their inner deficiencies by killing people, so that their psychology can be balanced. It's practically useless. The best is still your own inner balance, from outside influences, and some, but mainly from the inside. You hate liars, are you such a person? If you lie and deceive people a lot, will you forgive yourself? If you can't forgive yourself, how can you let others forgive you? Don't you understand this truth? Tang Lu asked.
Listening to Tang Lu's words, Shaxi didn't reply, he felt speechless, Tang Lu also knew that he had recognized his mistake, but just knowing it, it wasn't enough, because people can't be resurrected after death, and there is only one human life. He killed the man he once loved, and he must have regretted it because of his selfishness. There is no regret medicine in the world, only one step at a time.
Tang Lu released the Yunxin monk and gave him a sum of money, as a coil, the Yunxin monk was in danger, although he was delayed for a few days, however, he got a sum of money and experienced this incident, which can be regarded as a better understanding of people's hearts, and will not be nostalgic for Hongchen, and Hongchen is insulated, the monk Qingyuan of Cheng'en Temple will definitely ask long and short questions, and will cherish his Dharma name more, worthy of the name, cultivate with peace of mind, and worry about working day and night for the sake of purifying sentient beings.
As he wished, Shasi killed his head and showed it to the public, warning the lawbreakers. For Dr. Tea, there is no danger, only the strange eye, look away, and even help the murderer to pass on the information and report the news, Tang Lu criticized her fiercely, her face was greatly affected, and the lesson given to her is that the key place must play a key role, and it is still necessary to look at people more, not only to see the surface of the person, but also to see through the heart, from the appearance of the heart, a little difficult, but this is a process of continuous exercise and improvement, when people have this ability, it is very rare. It is equivalent to giving birth to a pair of discerning eyes, which can see more things.
Shasi's life returned to the west, and he took the blame.
His younger brother Shadong is not a lover, he is a person who loves to work very much, after years of hard work, his life is okay, relatively wealthy, the family has a house, land and cattle, and a wife sleeps on the kang, this is a well-off family.
His family has ploughing cattle, so he doesn't have to worry about farming and plowing and raking, and he is proud of many farmers who have not ploughed cattle.
Of course, there is another person, who is his hair small, surnamed Shi, and is also a son-in-law, strangely, Li Zhuang has many girls. Some families are almost daughter countries, and there are many sons-in-law who come to the door, and their surnames are relatively mixed.
Shadong's hair was also raised as a son, and he was actually a son-in-law.
He has similarities with Shadong, and what he sees is that there are also ploughing cattle.
One day, when it comes to the spring ploughing season, everyone begins to get busy, as the saying goes, the plan of the year lies in the spring, the plan of the day lies in the morning, and now is the morning of spring, which is very important.
In this way, they are all actively farming, some people use oxen, some people use horses, and some people rely on manual labor. In any case, we must seize the season, missing a season is equivalent to missing a year, which is not cost-effective, and if you don't do it well, all the year will be lost. This is the most critical period.
People are busy in the fields, and when they are tired, they take a rest, drink some water, eat something, and untie the rope nooses of the cows, so that the cattle can move freely.
The cattle of Shadong and the cattle of Shixi seem to be old rivals, they are both bulls, as if they have fallen in love with the same cow and have formed a beam, and they have had them since last year.
Although the relationship between the owner is good, it does not mean that the relationship with the bull is good. Because it is a rival in love, last year's hatred, remember, come a year, or remember, this hatred took root and sprouted, and when the spring flowers bloomed, revenge began to sprout again, no, use the spare time, leisure and entertainment time, learn from each other, and see who can be worthy of the young cow in the east of the village.
As a result, this opportunity came, spring came, the temperature rose, the surging vitality in the body could not be exerted, and it was not enough to vent the exuberant energy inside by cultivating the land, and it was necessary to completely release it in the spare time.
This time, I saw the enemy bull, it was an opponent, it was a rival in love, so I started fighting! There is no referee to announce the start of the start, the bull's eyes are round, spewing rough air, the eyes are bloodshot, the horns are against the opponent, and the fight is strength.
The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I advance, on par, not the slightest difference, the two cows are so happy that they have no master to care, and they are happy to wrestle, the scene is tense, and it makes people's hearts surge, and the heat is high.
The cow's temper came up, and no one could stop it.
Sha Dong and Shi Xi didn't care, they were full of energy, let them be released, and they didn't bother to care. They continued to gossip in the fields, and their relationship was good, unlike their cows.
It seems that the situation is not good, the cattle of Shadong and the cattle of Shixi do not give in, the cattle of Shadong are one year younger, and the older ones of Shixi are one year old, and they are one year older, and they suffer in strength, and their physical strength is gradually exhausted.
Shi Xi saw the danger, this is worth it, just a while, it seems that he has forgotten his main business and focused on the side business, Shi Xi's cattle were finally killed by Shadong's cattle, Shi Xi's cattle fell to the ground with a bang, foaming at the mouth, and a life of whine.
Shi Xi saw it, anxious, hurriedly stepped forward, kept shaking, crying, the cow was still motionless, Shadong's cattle were led away by Shadong, unexpectedly, the guy broke free from the cow rope, rushed over, frightened Shi Xi quickly dodged aside, stopped crying, the cow rushed over, and against Shi Xi's cattle even arrived and arrived, pushed the bull a few meters away, and the ground was red bloodstains, bleeding gurgling out, staining the ground, clearly visible on the green grass.
Shi Xi was very angry, picked up the hoe, and was about to smash it at the bull, but Shadong ran over, protected his bull with his body, and said, "If you want to smash the bull, smash me first." Your cow is dead, and when it dies, it dies, and it can't be resurrected, and it's really boring to make trouble like this. It's a shame that we are small, and the relationship is so good, is it really good? ”
"I won't smash you, and I won't be able to save my cattle if I smash you, I want you to pay for the cattle, otherwise, I will only see you in court." You have to pay, you have to pay! Otherwise, this matter is not over with you! Shi Xi said.
"You have to be reasonable, I didn't let them fight, aren't you also on the scene? If it were my cow that died, would you compensate? Shadong said.
"You, like your brother, are bloodthirsty demons, and you have bullied me, how can it be true! I'm going to the county government to sue you! ”
"Who's business is done, whose responsibility is beared, my business is my business, the cow's business is the cow's business, you say I'll talk about me, how can it involve my brother? No matter how bad he is, he has been punished by the law for killing people, what is your intention to compare my brother with me? Think about it, are you doing it right? Shadong said.
"Count the slip of the tongue, your brother is your brother, I only ask you for cattle now, and you want compensation. If you don't compensate, then, I just need to find Tang County. ”
"You are also at the scene, you didn't control the cattle well, you are responsible, if you want compensation, go and sue, Tang County Order may not support you." Shadong said.
"Okay, just sue, who's afraid of whom!"
Shi Xi went to the county government and sued Shadong.
When Tang Lu heard it, this is good! Turning against each other and turning against each other becomes an enemy. It seems that the boat of friendship will capsize!
Tang Lu pondered in his heart, if Shadong was allowed to compensate, Shadong would suffer, and if Shadong was not allowed to compensate, Shixi would suffer. If you want to be fair, turn it upside down and see the situation.
So he asked Sha Dong Shixi: "You guys are small, right?" ”
"Yes!" The two said in unison.
"Since it's small, you didn't deliberately let this cow out to fight, did you?"
"Yes, we finished plowing, and while we were resting in the field, two cows started fighting." Shi Xi said.
Sha Dong nodded, proving that what Shi Xi said was true.
Tang Lu also nodded, expressing his approval of their statement.
