Chapter 106: Farewell Gift
When Ma Xianxing was about to flee with Bai Jia, Zhang Xiu had ordered Yan Feng to arrest Wang Er and the thief back then, and to retry the case.
Soon, the two prisoners were escorted into the lobby.
Wang Er's face was dazed, looking at Zhang Xiu's unfamiliar face, and he said suspiciously: "You...... You are not my master, who are you, how dare you sit in the position of my master? ”
Zhang Xiu sneered: "Blind dog's eyes, I don't even know the official, let's hit the twenty boards first!" ”
As he spoke, a token was thrown, and the lobby instantly resounded with a thumping beating, as well as Wang Er's miserable shout.
After the 20th board, Zhang Xiu continued to ask: "Now you know who I am, right?" ”
Wang Er was in tears, and nodded again and again in fright: "I know, I know, you are the eldest master, the eldest lord of Qingtian......"
Zhang Xiu nodded with satisfaction: "Wang Er, I'll ask you!" Sixteen years ago, did you accept a bribe of 300 from the person next to you to slander the innocence of Miss Mei's family, causing her to hang herself! ”
Wang Er was stunned for a long time, and finally recalled the matter, and said with a strange face: "My lord, are you here to overturn the case for that Mei girl?" But the Mei girl's family has all died, what good will it do you to do this? ”
Zhang Xiu was shocked and shouted: "Now the official is asking you!" ”
Wang Er was frightened, and then limped forward, came to Zhang Xiu's side, quietly handed over a silver ticket under the table, and said with a sneer: "My lord, this is a small filial piety for you." You have worked hard to try the case today, and the thief who knelt under the hall will be imprisoned, and the little one will invite you to go to Cuiyi Garden to drink~"
Zhang Xiu glanced at him approvingly, put away the silver ticket, and said: "I accepted the silver ticket, and I will drink the wine myself, as for you, ......"
"Blatantly bribing the officials of the imperial court, come on, pull it down and hit the twenty boards!"
There was another crying father and shouting mother, and Wang Er was beaten to the point that he only had half a life left, lying on the ground and panting.
The thief on the side trembled with fright, and said, "My lord, the little wrong, the villain just bribed Wang Dianshi with three hundred yuan and begged to get out." As for the vicious idea later, it was Wang Dianshi who came up with it, and it has nothing to do with the villain! ”
Zhang Xiu looked at Wang Er and asked, "The facts are there, what else do you have to say!" ”
Wang Er twitched his mouth in pain, and said weakly: "My lord, not to mention that I didn't want to force that plum girl to death back then. Let's just say that the officials of Hangzhou Mansion, big and small, are not more ruthless and greedy than villains, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, why do you bother to catch me for this little mistake. ”
Zhang Xiu said coldly: "You are a corrupt dog official, one is counted as one, whoever can run out of Hangzhou Mansion, I Zhang Xiu write two words upside down!" ”
"The case is closed, Wang Er is corrupt and perverts the law, designs to force Mei Nu to death, sentences him to confiscate family property, and executes him!"
"The sixth offender, burglary, bribing officials, falsely accusing Mei Nu of causing her death, sentenced to death in court!"
"People outside the hall, if there is conclusive evidence of other officials of Hangzhou Government in their hands, they can present it to the court! This official Zhang Xiu will return Hangzhou Mansion to a bright future today! ”
When the words landed, Wang Er's eyes instantly lost their brilliance, and he muttered in his mouth: "It's over, how did you meet this killing star...... It's really over this time......"
The people outside the hall were in an uproar, and they couldn't believe it, there was actually a good official in the world.
Growing so big, it's the first time they've seen a good official, and it feels really strange!
In the crowd, a strong man wearing a hat burst into tears, staring at Zhang Xiu with bloodshot eyes, and whispered: "Why didn't you come early, why didn't you come early...... If you had come a few years earlier, why would my eldest brother have been beaten to death by that Zhuang Gongzi......"
In the crowd, this strong man, named Xiang Gao, was beaten to death by the local wealthy Zhuang Gongzi.
Xiang Gao was grieved and indignant, and wrote a complaint to the county seat. Who knew that Zhuang Gongzi had bribed both the upper and lower governments, so that he could not be justified.
Xiang Gao was angry and depressed in his heart, and he had no place to tell him, he only wanted to assassinate Zhuang Gongzi, but Zhuang Gongzi was surrounded by strong martial arts, and he had no chance at all.
Later, when it rained heavily, he met a Taoist priest in a ruined temple, and when the Taoist priest saw that his clothes were soaked by the rain, he lent him a piece of clothing.
A strange thing happened immediately, he put on the clothes of a Taoist priest, and actually turned into a fierce tiger!
Xiang Gao, who turned into a tiger, lurked on the side of the road, and finally succeeded in biting Zhuang Gongzi to death, and the Taoist priest explained the truth of the matter, it turned out that he had received the grace of a meal from him, so he came to help.
He thanked the Taoist priest to Gao, and then he was afraid of the power of the Zhuang family, and he didn't dare to return home, so he followed the homeless people into the grass, and became the leader of a group of homeless people.
How do you know that in the past two years, the officials of Hangzhou Prefecture have acted indiscriminately, resulting in more and more displaced people, and his brothers have now reached 100,000 people......
If Zhang Xiu had arrived a few years earlier, how could Zhuang Gongzi dare to kill people on the street, and why did he Xiang Gao fall to the current step......
After standing outside the door and calming down for a moment, Xiang Gao smiled bitterly, knowing his situation, he couldn't blame Zhang Xiu at all, walked into the back office, and saw Zhang Xiu, who was meeting the people and collecting evidence of corrupt officials.
"Grass people Xiang Gao, I've seen the big man of the blue sky!"
"Well, don't be polite, who are you going to sue?"
"No one will sue the grass people."
"Huh?"
Zhang Xiu glanced at Xiang Gao a few times, saw the knife hidden under his clothes, and couldn't help frowning: "You have a sharp weapon, shouldn't you be here to assassinate me?" ”
Xiang Gao hurriedly waved his hand: "The grass people don't dare!" ”
When Zhang Xiu heard this, a trace of regret appeared on his face: "It's a pity, if you were hired to assassinate me, maybe I could knock on one more bamboo pole." ”
"Don't you know, Prime Minister Pang Tong and they have sent five or six waves of assassins to kill me one after another, and I can make a lot of money any time."
After hearing this, Xiang Gao's cheeks jumped twice involuntarily: "@#¥%¥#@......"
The big man in front of him is really well versed in ripping off bamboos...... Well versed in the way of long streaming!
After a while, Xiang Gao came back to his senses and told the truth: "My lord, I can't hide it, I am a leader elected by the homeless people in the mountains, and this time I came to Hangzhou Mansion specifically for the dog official Baijia!" ”
"Baijia, the dog official, united with the two high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, embezzled public funds for repairing the embankment, causing hundreds of thousands of villagers in Hangzhou to be homeless, and countless people died! What a heinous sin!
I heard that he was about to go to Beijing to take office, and Ma Xianxing also came here, so I came to find out the truth and prepare to take his dog life on the way! ”
Zhang Xiu smiled, looked at him playfully and said, "If you are so honest, you are not afraid that the official will arrest you?" ”
"Don't be afraid!"
Xiang Gao straightened his chest and said, "That dog official has just run out of the city, my lord, you are a newcomer, you are weak, if you don't have my help, you can't catch him at all!" ”
"Moreover, even if you arrest me now, my brother will cut him with a thousand knives to vent his hatred!"
Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "Dare to act, you are really a good man, this official will give you a chance to atone for your sins, go back and persuade the displaced people in the mountains to come back, I promise not to blame the past, and redistribute the land and property for them and build houses." ”
Xiang Gao was stunned when he heard this, and then knelt down excitedly: "My lord, I will kowtow to you on behalf of the 100,000 villagers and elders on the mountain!" ”
Zhang Xiu grabbed him and said with a smile: "This official is kind-hearted, and he can't see a man kneeling." If you really want to thank me, don't cut Bai Jia and Ma Shangshu with a thousand knives. ”
Xiang Gao's face changed: "What do you mean by your lordship, is it for me to let go of those two dog officials?" ”
Zhang Xiu shook his head and sighed: "I am the most affectionate person, I am an official in the same dynasty with them, and now that they are leaving, I can't send them off in person, I deeply regret it."
I mean, you brought me two knives for me, and I made up 10,000 and 2 knives, so I should take it as a gift for me to give them a good trip. ”
Xiang Gao's whole person was blindfolded: "@#¥%¥#@......"
Such a farewell gift, it is really ...... Fresh and refined!
