Chapter Eighty-Six: Madame Chiang
On the second day, 5,000 Beijin rode into the city and surrounded all the mansions of Wang Dong Erjia.
The county Cheng and the chief bookkeeper came to the gate of Jiang's house with a group of officers and soldiers, and happened to see Ma Dajiao, who was dozing off with his back against the stone lion, and on one side stood the carved gold manglong sword, on which the blood stains had not dried.
"Wait! A few county adults didn't come last night, so don't go in today! β
Ma Dajia came to the gate, stomped on the ground with his right foot, and trembled on the ground, "There are a lot of dead people, if you want to discuss the Fa, today this Fa is not clear." β
"Oh, you!" The master book walked out of it, and said kindly: "You don't know, I only learned about this this morning, didn't everyone run out to find the assassin yesterday, and even the government office where I was waiting was blocked by a doorman who didn't know who!" β
The county man hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Ma Dajia, others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid!" Don't think that the fifth-floor martial arts are lawless, I want to see the prince, get out of the way! β
"So, you don't hold me accountable for my murder?" Ma Dajia said tentatively, he smacked his lips, picked up the big knife standing on the ground, and then whispered: "I can't hide it, I have killed two or three hundred doormen, and they have been hospitalized to rob and abuse women, and I have to take action." β
This is said lightly, but what kind of scene is two or three hundred people, everyone's necks shrank, you know, the entire government is only about a hundred people.
"No accountability, no accountability," the county man waved his hand, his tone anxious, "If it is as you say, they deserve it, but there is one thing I want to ask you?" β
The county man shrunk his neck, squinted his eyes to observe the surroundings, and said worriedly: "You tell me the truth, did the Dong Wang family attack the Jiang family yesterday?" Was the prince assassinated? Don't hide it from me, the 5,000 Beijin horsemen have blocked Wang Dong's two families. β
Ma Dajia grinned, his smile terrifying, "It's a fact that they assassinated Lu Xing. The maidservant of the Dong family and the martial artist on the fifth floor of the Wang family have been arrested, and there is also a Gu Xiu, who is already dead, I don't know which family it is. β
The strange movement at the door was learned by the doorman, and the doorman hurriedly ran into the lobby, where Jiang Zhen was comforting the surviving people of the Jiang family.
"My lord, Lord Jiang, the people from the county government are here, and they are at the door!" The doorman panted.
At this moment, there was a cry in the hall, the women were holding their children, and there were less than ten men in the hall, all of whom were in tears.
"Who let you in, who let you in!" Jiang Zhen held an iron sword, looked angrily at the doorman who broke in, and stepped out, his thick chest erect.
The doorman was stunned, and said tremblingly: "Big, my lord, it's the county lord and the master of the mansion, they were stopped by Lord Ma. β
Jiang Zhen shouted angrily as if he hadn't heard it: "Who let you in!" β
Angry to the extreme, with a wave of the iron sword, blood overflowed, spilling Jiang Zhen's body, and there was another exclamation in front of the hall.
The doorman fell helplessly, looking at Jiang Zhen in disbelief, but was ruthlessly pushed away by Jiang Zhen.
"What are you crying for, if you weren't crying and crying and unclothed, could I have killed him?"
"Hmph," it was Jiang Zhen's eldest lady who spoke, she looked at Jiang Zhen angrily, and sobbed: "Then what do you mean is that everyone committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river, those of us who came out to see you still have the courage, those women who have really been slighted, they are all hiding in the house and not showing their faces, what do you Jiang Zhen mean, do you want to be forced to kill everyone!" β
"Also, Jiang Zhen, the old lady told you, Xiao Rong is still unconscious, you came to this with the old lady, where were you when Xiao Rong fought to the death? You are the pillar of the family, what are you doing, you are being someone else's dog! "Madame Jiang has a very strong temper, and she is a famous martyr in ten miles and eight towns.
"You!" Jiang Zhen stretched out his hand and pointed at Mrs. Jiang, his eyes trembled, and he scolded for a while: "It's really a woman's kindness and stupidity!" Although the humiliation of one day is humiliating, I, Jiang Zhen, have indeed lost face. But my actions yesterday at least ensured that when Xuejin City liquidated Pinghe County, the women of my Jiang family would not be forced to become prostitutes, and the men of the Jiang family would at least die in battle, which was an honor, and they would not be reduced to slavery! β
The men in the hall bowed their heads and were silent, the women were still crying and crying, even if they understood Jiang Zhen's words, but the Jiang family's tragic situation was in tears and those who saw it sighed.
Madame Jiang lowered her head and sighed: "Heyβ"
"I don't care about you, no matter how much you say, it's useless, the little nephew is dead, the third uncle, the sixth uncle, and the patriarch Jiang Cide were also stabbed several times, and his death is unknown at the moment."
"Grandpa couldn't see his little niece humiliated last night, he fought with the enemy with a cane, and was beaten to death by them, what face do you Jiang Zhen have? What qualifications do you have to meet those tablets in the mourning hall? β
"This is still our room, what about other rooms, the dead are dead, the humiliated are humiliated, there are three big girls just caught up in the well, they are all married at the age of marriage, they could have found a good husband, love for a lifetime, they don't understand anything, they don't understand anything!"
Jiang Zhen trembled, let out a long sigh, his sideburns were already gray, and he looked even older at the moment, "That's it, if you hate me, Jiang Zhen, Jiang Zhen is incompetent, ashamed of his ancestors, and ashamed of his descendants." β
"Hmph, are you satisfied?" Jiang Zhen flicked his sleeves and left, hunching his back.
"Oh, what a sinβ" Madame Chiang sat down on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
Jiang Zhen came to the door, and the people of the county government had been waiting for a long time, and they were overjoyed when they saw Jiang Zhen coming out.
"Lord Gunjo, are youβare you alright?" The county man stepped forward with a smile, held Jiang Zhen's arm, and muttered as he walked: "I tell you, Jin Heng is dead, he is really bold, anyone dares to kill, Jin Heng is the eldest son of the Jin family in the next county." β
"Hmph, the old man uses you to help!" Jiang Zhen shook off the county Cheng's hand and said angrily: "I didn't see you yesterday, I tell you the truth, the assassination of the prince, if it weren't for the unity of the Jiang family, the prince would be in danger." β
"At that time, it will not be 5,000 Beijin cavalry to surround Wang Dong's second family, but the entire Pinghe City will be besieged by the army, and no one will be able to escape!"
As soon as these words came out, the county man was stunned, he touched his forehead, full of cold sweat.
The chief bookkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, hurriedly stepped forward to support Jiang Zhen, and said: "Lord County Shou is angry, think about it, Jin Heng is dead, we were really blocked by someone yesterday, if we insist on going out, then I won't be able to see you today." β
"Adults are angry, angry, the key is, where is the son?"
Jiang Zhen said coldly: "The prince has returned to his mansion, you can go." The old man is not as skilled as you in flattering kung fu after the fact. β
The three of them quarreled, but the group finally moved, and more than 100 people went to the small courtyard of Lu Xing, only Ma Dajia was still guarding the gate.
More than 100 people came to the small courtyard, there were corpses along the street, a saucer jumped down from the eaves, hugged his fists and said: "The county prince, the master bookkeeper, and Jiang Junshou, the prince only let the three of you go to see him." β
The three of them glanced at each other, silently followed the footsteps of the saucer, and they came to the end of a bluestone street, and finally saw the back of Lu Xing.
"The sinner has seen the son!" The three of them bowed.
"Okay, the rites are all empty." Lu Xing turned around and said flatly.
He walked up to the three of them, removed the dust on his shoulders for Jiang Zhen, and straightened his collar, and everyone didn't dare to speak, only dared to look sideways and secretly observe Lu Xing's complexion.
"The Jiang family made the right decision, as for the two of you, you can tell me yourself?"
"Damn the sinner!" The county minister and the chief secretary hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "The criminal minister did not govern Pinghe City well, this is the great fault of the criminal minister, and the criminal minister put the prince in danger, and it is a capital crime." β
"According to common sense, I can replace the two of you, and then replace the entire mansion again," Lu Xing took a step back, looked at the faces of the county clerk and the chief bookkeeper, and said flatly: "But I don't want to bother with it, give you a chance to talk about how to deal with Wang Dong's second family." β
Xian Cheng swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "According to the laws and regulations of Xuejin City, those who assassinate the prince will be punished as treason, and all the main lines of the evil line will be beheaded, and the side men will be slaves and women will be prostitutes, for a total of thirty years, before they can be rehabilitated as ordinary people." β
The main bookkeeper saw that the county Cheng finished speaking fluently, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xing nodded and said, "So, does Dong Xiangxue also have to be beheaded?" She can block a knife for me, if I kill her, is it unfair? β
After asking two questions in a row, Mo said that the county clerk and the chief bookkeeper didn't know how to answer, and Jiang Zhen's face was the first to turn blue.
"The son can't be soft-hearted, this woman can't stay," Jiang Zhen knelt on the ground with a "poof", and cried: "If this woman stays, the Dong family will have a future, and this account will not be counted on the head of the son, but on the head of my Jiang family, and my Jiang family will never be at peace!" β
The master secretly observed Lu Xing's face, gritted his teeth secretly, and knelt down to persuade: "This woman wants to stay." But the rest of the Dong family is going to die! This will not only show the kindness and generosity of the prince, but also serve as a warning to all the families of the Northland. What's more, it's just a weak woman, Master Jiang has the merit to save the driver, so why can't he tolerate a woman. β
"You!" Jiang Zhen glared angrily, the grief and indignation in his eyes were even worse, he bowed down at Lu Xing's feet, and cried: "How many people have died in the Jiang family, please have mercy on the prince......"
The master snorted coldly, "Don't you want to take credit for yourself and persecute the son?" β
"Enough!" Lu Xing interrupted the dispute between the two and shouted: "Dong Xiangxue wants to kill, but she saved me after all and gave her a drink in a poisonous bar, which is a decent way to die." β
Lu Xing knows very well that if Dong Xiangxue is alive, then the prestige he wants to establish will collapse, and keeping Dong Xiangxue is like a thorn in the hearts of these big families, so Xiang Xue must die, at least on the surface.
The so-called drinking poisonous wine is Lu Xing's maneuver, in order to achieve the purpose of Liwei, Dong Xiangxue wants to die, but Lu Xing hopes that she will live in his heart.
What's more, for the Jiang family, the scenes of last night are still in front of him, even if Jiang Zhen doesn't say it, he can't pass the hurdle in his heart. Dong Kuan and Wang Taihe did the wrong thing, so that nearly 1,000 people in the Dong and Wang families are all responsible for this, just Dong Xiangxue, how can they run?
