It was getting late, so Jia Jing and the others did not continue on the road, nor did they look for an inn, so they rested directly in the county office of Suqian County Order for one night.

Early the next morning, Liu Ze came to Jia Jing and said, "Master Hou, the lame man who was rescued from Shuiliangzhai yesterday woke up and said that he wanted to see you." ”

Jia Jing thought about it and didn't have anything to do, so he agreed with him, at this time Tan Yifeng also came to see Jia Jing, and after coming in, he expressed his intention, originally Tanjia was going to Jinling to talk to his uncle about the New Year, but now it was too late, and Tan Yifeng was also afraid that something would happen on the road, so he asked if he could go with Jia Jing.

Jia Jing also happened to be passing by Jinling, so when he heard this, he naturally readily agreed, and told Tan Yifeng to go back and start packing up, because they were going to start again in a while.

Tan Yifeng listened, nodded hurriedly, and then hurriedly went back to pack some luggage, Jia Jing was waiting for the lame man to come to see him, at this time Xue Zhen and others also came to gather, and everyone sat and drank tea and chatted.

Jia Jing secretly looked at Bai Xijun, and saw that although her complexion did not look very good, she did not have the tiredness and decadence of yesterday, Jia Jing couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this, but she also knew in her heart that Bai Xijun was afraid that she would not last long............

Jia Jing sighed, no longer thinking about these things, and then talked to Xue Zhen for a while After seeing Xu Cripple and Suqian County Order, he set off again, and as he was talking, he saw that Xu Cripple came over dressed up.

Jia Jing took a closer look and found that this Xu lame man actually looked dignified, and he didn't look like a bandit or a bandit, but now after cleaning up the neatness, except for his lame legs, he looks like a talented man!

Jia Jing couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then the lame man hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Grass people Xu Zurong, meet Ning Hou!" ”

Jia Jing put down the teacup and said, "Get up." Xu Zurong didn't get up, but knelt on the ground and cried, Jia Jing and everyone looked at each other, and then said helplessly: "Ben Hou knows that you have a pure temperament, it must be for some reason that you have no choice but to fall into the water bandits, no matter what, it's all in the past, just live a good life from now on, you don't have to be so sentimental." ”

Xu Zurong shook his head when he heard this, choked up and wiped his tears: "Grass people, grass people are not lamented by the experience of being in the water bandits over the years, but, but ............"

Jia Jing frowned slightly and said, "Then what are you for?" Just say it! Is there any difficulty? ”

When Xu Zurong heard Jia Jing ask this, he cried and fell to the ground while kowtowing, and shouted: "Ask Master Hou to avenge the grievances of the grass people!" ”

Jia Jing looked at Xu Zurong in slight surprise, then glanced at Xue Zhen again, and said to Xu Zurong suspiciously: "What are you wronged?" Although Ben Hou is a martial artist, it is not easy to meddle in local affairs at will, if you are entangled in any lawsuits, although Ben Hou has the heart to help you, but it is also powerless. ”

Xu Zurong kowtowed and said: "The grass people are not people who cause trouble, they are responsible for managing the family property, and they have not been involved in any lawsuits one day, if so, how dare they open their mouths in front of the Hou Ye?" ”

When Jia Jing heard this, he said strangely to Xu Zurong: "So you have fallen into such a situation, or do you have something else to hide?" Let's listen to it, if you really have something wrong, Ben Hou can write a letter by hand, whether you take it to Huai'an Mansion or Shenjing, there will be a place to be reasonable! ”

Xu Zurong kowtowed excitedly when he heard this: "Thank you, Master Hou!" Thank you, Lord Hou! Jia Jing smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Don't thank you first, let's talk about what happened." ”

Everyone looked at Xu Zurong curiously, because Xu Zurong really didn't look like a water bandit, Xu Zurong also risked his life to help them in the water bandit's den, so at this time, they were all curious and sympathetic to Xu Zurong What he had experienced to fall to this point.

Xu Zurong knelt on the ground and cried, Jia Jing saw this, so he asked him to get up and sit on the stool and talk slowly, Xu Zurong thanked him and sat down and began to tell the story of what happened to him.

Xu Zurong was originally a person from Jinling, his family was well-off, his parents died early, he lived in Jinling City with his wife, and his ancestors left some industry, so the family did not worry about eating and drinking, and made a living by doing some small business, his wife gave birth to a son a few years ago, and the life of the family was more harmonious and beautiful.

Xu Zurong has a friend for many years called Shi Shanpeng, the two are fellow villagers, and they play together when they are young, they are very close to each other, Shi Shanpeng's father died early, and he lives with an old mother, so sometimes even the two families spend the New Year together!

The two of them will talk until midnight every time they are together, and they often fall asleep on their feet, both of them have no siblings, so they can be said to be closer to each other than brothers!

Shi Shanpeng's family is also in business, because of this, the two often go out to do business together, and they also take care of each other in these years, and the two eat and drink together, so sometimes the time that two people spend together is longer than the time they spend with each other's families!

Therefore, Xu Zurong trusts Shi Shanpeng very much, after all, this kind of friendship is estimated to be willing to pay for it! Shi Shanpeng said that the sun is square, and he has to wonder if there is something wrong with his eyes!

But that all changed on that day six years ago............

That day, the two of them were still running outside as usual for a few months, and they almost sold the goods they brought, and bought some more, and it was close to the end of the year, so the two of them were like arrows, and they rushed to this Luoma Lake in a few days.

One night, when he was sleeping soundly, Shi Shanpeng suddenly ran into his room, and woke up Xu Zurong anxiously, Xu Zurong woke up in a daze and asked him what was wrong, Shi Shanpeng said to Xu Zurong with a pale face, he just got up at night and saw that the money and goods brought back by the two were not tied up and fell into the water!

Xu Zurong suddenly woke up in fright when he heard this, the two of them who have been going south and north far away from their hometown for most of the past half a year are just for these goods, if they are all gone, then most of the year will be really in vain! It's just going home, going back empty-handed, how will you spend this year?

Xu Zurong looked at Shi Shanpeng suspiciously, because he smelled that Shi Shanpeng seemed to have drunk some wine, and he had a smell of wine on his body! Therefore, it is suspected that Shi Shanpeng has drunk too much.

Shi Shanpeng repeatedly cursed that he didn't drink too much, and it was only after drinking that he went to the thatched house that he inadvertently saw their goods fall into the water!

Xu Zurong knew that Shi Shanpeng's temperament was not joking, so he was also anxious, hurriedly got up, and hurriedly rushed to the deck with Shi Shanpeng, Xu Zurong wanted to see the goods, but Shi Shanpeng asked him to see the place where the goods fell into the water first.

Xu Zurong was helpless, just lying on the side of the boat and staring into the water, only to see that although the waves were flying, there was no shadow at all!

Xu Zurong was puzzled for a while, and suddenly felt a cold light flashing in the corner of his eyes, Xu Zurong was suddenly shocked, and his years of experience in wandering outside made him roll on the ground, but in the end, he trusted Shi Shanpeng too much, so after a little hesitation, he was chopped on the thigh with a knife!

Xu Zurong couldn't help screaming in pain, and then fell to the ground and looked at his old friend in disbelief, he had never seen the face of this long-time friend!

His eyes were scarlet, his nostrils were wide open, his teeth were white, and the knife in his hand was stained with blood! Get rid of a begging Nakshatra under the moonlight!

Xu Zurong was shocked: "Good friend? You, how could you ..............." Shi Shanpeng gritted his teeth and said: "Zu Rong, I'm sorry!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the knife and was just about to step forward, Xu Zurong struggled to get up in shock, and was just about to call for help, who knew that Shi Shanpeng had already strode forward and kicked Xu Zurong into the cold lake!

The cold lake water is biting, although Xu Zurong is a southerner, he doesn't know water, and he was seriously injured in his leg, so he struggled to be swallowed by the dark and cold lake water after a while............

At this time, everyone on the boat also heard the movement and hurried over, Shi Shanpeng hurriedly threw the knife in his hand into the lake, and shouted anxiously: "Help!" Help me! My friend fell into the lake! Help! ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly looked into the lake, and sure enough, they saw a pair of hands slowly sinking, and Shi Shanpeng knelt on the ground and cried and begged everyone for help.

Everyone refused to go into the water even if they had a good nature, and they all persuaded Shi Shanpeng that going down to the lake at this time would be a death! Even if the water is good, people are frozen in an instant, how can they save people?

Shi Shanpeng cried when he heard this, but he slapped his mouth with "self-blame", saying that the two of them drank too much and peed, who knew that as soon as he stood on the deck, his friend fell into the lake without standing firmly!

Everyone comforted for a while, and when they smelled that Shi Shanpeng really smelled of wine, they couldn't help but sigh for a while, so they could only wait until dawn to help salvage the body, who knew that after a day of fishing, they didn't find Xu Zurong's "body".

Everyone had no choice but to give up, but when Xu Zurong had sunk to the bottom of the lake and was eaten by fish, Shi Shanpeng also showed his own heart, on the one hand, he apologized to everyone for delaying everyone's day, and on the other hand, he also thanked everyone for helping to retrieve the corpse.

Everyone is a real person, and they don't think they have helped much, so no one asks for money, after all, there is no big life in anything, so everyone sighs and sighs at the misfortune of the ferry passengers on the same boat, and they also give Shi Shanpeng a thumbs up, all praising him for his loyalty and friend.

Shi Shanpeng hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and on the other hand, he was also crying about the misfortune of his old friend, saying that he would definitely transfer his old friend's goods to his old friend's orphans and widows without taking a penny after he went back, and said that he would let his old friend go with peace of mind, and he would definitely take care of his widow and son in person!

Shi Shanpeng had the dream of "your wife and I raised it", but he didn't expect that maybe the sky had eyes, and he couldn't bear Xu Zurong to suffer like this, or maybe it was Jiuyou's anger, and he didn't want to be such a treacherous villain to gain power, so Xu Zurong actually floated to the shore in the cold lake water when he injured one of his legs!

It just so happened that the women of Shuiliangzhai came out to wash their clothes, and they happened to bump into Xu Zurong, who was lying on the shore and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and Xu Zurong was able to survive! But because of this, he has been imprisoned in Shuiliangzhai to serve the water bandits in Shuiliangzhai!

During this period, Xu Zurong didn't think about escaping, but Shuiliangzhai was full of water bandits, how could he run far with a lame leg? Every time, I was caught and beaten up!

Over time, although he was anxious about the current situation of his wife and son, he had to resign himself to staying in Shuiliangzhai and gradually lived as a walking corpse, until Jia Jing and others appeared, so that he saw the opportunity to go home and take revenge!

Xu Zurong didn't expect that it was just a moment of unbearable, because of the goodness of the moment, he actually married a powerful man like Jia Jing! Xu Zurong didn't know why Shi Shanpeng did these things, but it didn't delay Xu Zurong to grit his teeth with hatred for Shi Shanpeng in his heart!

The two have been friends since childhood, Xu Zurong really doesn't know why Shi Shanpeng wants to treat him like this! We are dear brothers and sisters! Why did you kill me?

So Xu Zurong wants Jia Jing to seek justice for himself and let Shi Shanpeng get the punishment he deserves! He has nothing left now, and he has even been brutally abused in the water bandits' den for six years with a lame leg!

Six years! There are several six years in life! He originally had a very good life, a beautiful and gentle wife, and an obedient and sensible son, all of which are gone! These are all caused by Shi Shanpeng! How could Xu Zurong not hate him in his heart?

Jia Jing and the others were also extremely sympathetic after hearing Xu Zurong's experience, and Jia Jing said to Xu Zurong at the moment: "Don't worry, Ben Hou happened to pass by Jinling City, and Ben Hou personally took you to court with him at that time!" Definitely get a clean slate for you! ”

When Xu Zurong heard this, he couldn't help but cry and knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, Jia Jing hurriedly asked the soldiers to help him go down to rest, and after Xu Zurong left, Baoqin Bai Xijun and Qin Xiaoai and others were still indignant, looking more angry than the other.

Bao Qin's angry little chest went up and down: "Brother Jing must punish that treacherous villain severely!" It's really too much! It's just ............."

Baoqin wanted to scold the beast, but thinking of how the little fairy could scold in front of Jia Jing, she still swallowed it stiffly, but still snorted angrily.

Qin Xiaoai didn't have so many ideas, and directly gritted her teeth and said, "Beast! Bai Xijun was not so angry, after all, she had suffered a more ruthless betrayal, which made her a White Lotus Sect leader to the point of being Jia Jing's bodyguard............

But it was precisely because of this that she was even more resentful of the person who betrayed her friend, and her eyes flashed with cold light, and she wanted to cut off the head of that dog thief right now!

Jia Jing just smiled and said: "Which is right and wrong, I won't know until the day of the court, if it is really what Xu Zurong said, then naturally I have to pay him a fair ............."

Jia Jing said, slowly lowering his head and taking a sip of tea, his eyes flashing with not knowing what he was thinking............

Everyone was so indignant that they went back to pack their luggage, and at this time, Lu Xing, the county commander of Suqian County, smiled bitterly and asked to see Jia Jing, Jia Jing asked him to come in and talk, who knew that Lu Xing knelt on the ground when he came in, put his black gauze hat beside him and kowtowed to Jia Jing.

Seeing this, Jia Jing couldn't help but wonder, "What does Lord Lu mean by this?" Lu Xing smiled helplessly at Jia Jing and said: "The lower officials are incompetent, I can't live up to the entrustment of Hou Ye, I really can't deal with and arrange so many people to live in my Suqian County!" ”

Jia Jing was stunned when he heard this, and Lu Xing said helplessly to Jia Jing: "Suqian County is just a small county seat, it is really difficult to support so many people to eat, drink and Lazar every day, if I bear them, the people of Suqian County will starve, if so, the lower official would rather resign himself!" The lower official did not complete the task assigned by Hou Ye, and asked Hou Ye to surrender his guilt! ”

Lu Xing sighed as he spoke, and his head fell to the ground, Jia Jing knocked on his forehead and said helplessly: "Since Lord Lu has done his best, how can Ben Hou blame you?" Get up, Benhou doesn't have the power to force you to resign............"

Lu Xing got up when he heard this, after all, if he was not forced to do so, who would want to resign? I studied hard for so many years before I got back into an official body, among which luck, talent, and wealth are indispensable, and after suffering so much, who is willing to go back to be a common man?

Jia Jing sighed helplessly and said, "Then Master Lu thinks that what should be done with these women and children?" Lu Xing also hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then said cautiously: "Xia Guan thinks that so many people, I am afraid that at least Pizhou can bear it, otherwise I will have to go to Huai'an ............."

Jia Jing glanced at Lu Xing, good guy, everyone shirks it down, you are good, shirk it to your own superiors, and you are too big to be a big official?

Therefore, Jia Jing smiled and patted Lu Xing's shoulder, Lu Xing hurriedly lowered his body and smiled flatteringly at Jia Jing, Jia Jing smiled and praised Lu Xing and said: "It's still Lord Lu who is far-sighted............"

Lu Xing hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" It's all good for you to enlighten Master Hou! Jia Jing smiled and waved his hand and said, "Where, where!" Well............ Since Lord Lu thinks so, then good, Ben Hou will give this matter to Lord Lu to deal with it! ”

Lu Xing's smile suddenly froze on his face, and then disappeared instantly, and he looked at Jia Jing in a daze: "Eh, Master Hou, you ............"

Jia Jing raised his hand to stop Lu Xing's words and said: "Ben Hou handed over the treasures and goods looted by Shuiliang Village for so many years as funds for the placement of these women and children, as for specific matters, I want Lord Lu to go to Pizhou or Huai'an Prefecture to discuss, and Ben Hou will no longer interfere in this matter." ”

Lu Xing was anxious when he heard this: "Master Hou, you can't ............" Jia Jing got up and smiled: "This matter is so perfectly solved!" Ben Hou gave you a handwritten letter to prove that you are going now! ”

Jia Jing was about to leave as he spoke, and Lu Xing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Hou! Master Hou! Hou Ye stays! Jia Jing turned around and said, "Oh yes, don't forget to tell your Shangguan, this is what Ben Hou meant, and when Ben Hou returns to Beijing, he will go out of his way to see how these women and children live." ”

Jia Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled: "If you let Ben Hou know that they are not doing well............ Ben Hou is going to be angry! ”

Lu Xing couldn't help but swallow when he looked at Jia Jingsen's white teeth, while Jia Jing patted him on the shoulder, laughed and turned around and left............

What the fuck is going on!
