Chapter 22: Justice Delayed Equals Absence (I)
Let the "dark under the lights" make such a fuss, a group of stunned people all over the yard came to participate in the birthday banquet, and the timid neighbors sat there and looked at each other. I can't eat this birthday feast anymore. Everyone unanimously said goodbye to Mrs. Song and left the table.
Brother Hai sent away the "dark under the lamp" group, and when he saw that the guests had retired, he said with a smile: "Fathers, fellow villagers, neighbors, don't forget the return plate prepared by the old birthday star for you after eating." And don't forget to steal your birthday! ”
The birthday banquet was dissolved, Brother Hai told him to pack up the leftovers in a hurry, and asked the eldest brother and second brother of "Old Gaoli" to help the frightened, sifted chaff, and speechless Mrs. Song into the house, and then came to the wine table and sat down. Brother Hai's sharp eyes stared at the eyes of "Old Gaoli" and asked, "Fourth, what is going on with Yin Rongrong?" ”
"Old Gaoli" calmed his face, drank a bowl full of liquor, wiped his mouth, sighed and said: "Yin Rongrong is the daughter of a distant nephew of mine, she grew up in front of me when she was a child, I like it a lot." But when she grows up, she won't hang herself, and the eldest girl of sixteen or seventeen is crazy all day and doesn't do serious things, and flirts everywhere. Alas......"
At this time, the "four sons" also came over and asked, "I said fourth brother, who the fuck is that 'Tailong'?" ”
"Old Gaoli" said to "Si Gong": "'Tailong' is the son of the 'Black Widow' in the north of the village. This kid is a second-rate kid when he is young, relying on his sister-in-law to pull a chain with the 'black under the lamp' dog, more than 30 people, not even a daughter-in-law, idle all day long, bullying men and women. No, Da Qian'er almost killed Rong Rong, and this morning everyone said that he fell into a well drunk and drowned. Hum...... Deserve! it, 'it's dark under the lights' and you're getting mad here! ”
When Brother Hai heard this, he became suspicious. He smiled and said, "Fourth, your nephew's daughter was almost killed the day before yesterday, and the murderer fell into the well and drowned early this morning, this ...... Isn't this too coincidental, where in the world is there such a coincidence? 'It's dark under the light', no matter how stupid you are, you will think that you did it, did you do it? ”
"Curly" stood up and said, "I said Brother Hai, don't force the fourth brother!" I thought 'Tyrone' was so crazy that I met him drunk last night, so I threw him into the well. You want to punish me, it's none of the fourth brother's business, he doesn't know! ”
Brother Hai naturally knows that his brothers are usually arrogant, and only in front of him are they like tame cats, when have they ever suffered this kind of wretchedness? He was about to say something, but "Old Gaoli" rushed to say: "Brother Hai, it was me and the sixth child who did it, without my instructions, how could the sixth kill people?" Brother Hai can punish me as much as he wants, it's nothing about the sixth brother! ”
"Curly hair" stopped "Old Gaoli" and said: "Fourth brother, do you know, your sister came to your house to cry before, I just wanted to kill that 'Tailong', what does it have to do with you?" ”
Brother Hai waved his hand and said in a stern whisper: "Okay! All right! Don't fight! Are you all afraid that your neighbors won't hear you? Sixth, tell me, does 'Tailong' deserve to die? ”
"Old Gaoli" rolled his stunned eyes, and his fierce light was revealed: "Should I die?" 'Tai Long' died, and many neighbors set off firecrackers to celebrate early this morning. Brother Hai, do you think he deserves to die? Not only 'Tyron' is damned, but the fucking 'Black Under the Light' is worse than him, damn it! If the 'dark under the lights' dies, the people of this ten miles and eight towns will have to sing a big drama for ten days. ”
Brother Hai frowned and said: "I just know that this 'black under the lamp' thief is domineering, even the commune secretary Xu Zhenhu has to give him three points, and your second brother Wu Youyi has nothing to do with him." What's up? He still dares to endanger his neighbors and bully men and women? ”
After listening to Brother Hai's words, Zhan Zhizhan secretly complained that Brother Hai regarded people too well, and even had a bit of a woman's kindness. He secretly pondered in his heart: "Hehe...... Endangering neighbors, bullying men and women? If the 'frustrated yin spirit' didn't recognize Lao Tzu's primordial god as the 'Great Demon Mandrill' and scared away, the old lady Song would have to splash blood in Shoutang! 'Old Goryeo' has to be taken away too! ”
Sure enough, "Old Gaoli" sighed and said, "Bullying men and women? What's that? Let's not talk about Song Lao Wu last year carrying a dung burden and rubbing him, he discounted Song Lao Wu's rib bones by three, let's just talk about Song Lao Fu, he saw that his newly married daughter-in-law was very beautiful, and he called people to the police station to cause trouble, not to mention, but also beat Song Lao Fu, who came to the door to reason, and I don't know where to throw it, and now I can't see anyone alive or dead. What a lawlessness! ”
"Brother Hai, this kid is so fucking crazy! Simply ...... "The grumpy" Hao Maniac couldn't help it at first, and after he screamed, he made a murderous gesture, staring at Hai Ge with a pair of hungry wolf-like eyes, waiting for him to nod.
The green tendons on the forehead of the "Four Sons" protruded, and he gritted his teeth and said to Brother Hai: "Brother Hai, just say something." As long as you nod your head, I'll move the head of this deflated calf tonight! ”
Then, everyone began to talk about it, only Zhan Zhizhan silently didn't say a word. Among the people, not only "Old Gaoli" thinks that "it is dark under the lamp" should be killed, but Zhan Zhizhan also feels that this kind of scum in the police is not enough to be angry among the people. Just his nickname "Black Under the Light" is enough to prove that he is a wolf in human skin, a demon in police clothes.
Brother Hai waved his hand, glanced around at the brothers and said, "I understand the feelings of all the brothers!" But have you all forgotten? The rivers and lakes are sophisticated, not fighting, killing! Well, no one is allowed to mention this again! ”
Zhan Zhizhan is determined to eradicate the evil ghost of the "Lost Yin Spirit" and restore peace to the place. Every evil must be eliminated, and all evil must be eliminated! The reason why Zhan Zhizhan didn't speak was because he didn't want to attract the attention of his elder brothers. As the saying goes: "A dog that bites does not show its teeth"!
Zhan Zhizhan secretly calculated to himself: If you want to kill the "depressed yin spirit", you can't kill it within a day or two, it will have to stop after a while, and you can't let the police suspect that "old Gaoli" did it. Zhan Zhizhan knows that if he kills the "depressed yin spirit", "it will be dark under the lamp" will lose his soul, and he will be left with a stinky skin, how many days can he live "under the lamp"? It's best to investigate in advance whether this "dark under the lights" is what "Old Goryeo" said should be killed, but don't recklessly kill just because "Black Under the Lights" just made a big fuss about the birthday banquet of "Old Goryeo's" mother. If the "dark under the lamp" should not be killed, you have to find a way to control the "frustrated yin spirit", which is really a bit troublesome! In addition, Zhan Zhizhan's purpose in coming to Songjiabao was mainly to cuddle grass and beat rabbits, looking for the evil "cat-faced fairy girl" ghost and lonely Yu. Unexpectedly, a "frustrated yin spirit" appeared in the middle of the fall. Focus all your attention on the "frustrated yin spirit", it won't delay the big event of chasing and killing ghosts and lonely depression, right?
"Hey...... Can't run away from the ghost lonely and depressed that deflated calf! It's not that you don't report it, it's not time yet. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent! After Zhan Zhizhan muttered a sentence in his stomach, he suddenly remembered, didn't Zhuo Bufan say this? Didn't he still boast that he was awe-inspiring and upright, and that he was a "messenger of justice"?
Zhan Zhizhan couldn't help but sigh, and secretly thought in his heart: "Alas...... Brother Hai and the 'Four Brothers' have repeatedly told themselves that they must not have the heart to harm others, and the heart to prevent others is indispensable! Stay away from Zhuo Bufan and be more careful. Zhuo Bufan's words are pleasing to the ear, and he shouldn't always keep it in his heart. It seems that Zhuo Bufan's influence on his worldview is far greater than expected! ”
When Zhuo Bufan said this, he said it to Zhan Zhizhan and "Lilac" in the "Zhang Fei Grilled Meat" restaurant. "Lilac" was very admired at the time, and his face was full of admiration. However, Zhan Zhizhan still had doubts, feeling that this sentence was very slippery. Zhan Zhizhan's immediate reaction was that this sentence confused the light justice relative to the bystanders with the heavy justice relative to the victims. To put it bluntly, the so-called "justice delayed" is not at all a heavy justice relative to the victims. For example, when someone is victimized, you tell him, "Justice may be late, but it will never be absent"! But who can guarantee that it is "late justice" that should not come, or "justice that does not come" that fools people at all?
Of course, Zhan Zhizhan's hesitation could not escape Zhuo Bufan's eyes, and Zhuo Bufan then told the story of King Yue Goujian's "Lying on Salary and Tasting Courage". Zhan Zhizhan smiled at that time and said to Zhuo Bufan: "I understand! Brother Bufan means 'A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late'! It's like Annan Monkey always thinks that we are weak and can be bullied, and carries a big piece of knife dancing and chattering all day long. We didn't cut him at the time, it was because we had other big things to do, so we endured it. When we turn it over, it's a blast hammer! ”
However, Zhan Zhizhan still didn't figure it out, isn't this the "spiritual victory method" of Ah Q's spirit? The victims' harm has been done and cannot be reversed, and there is no justice that the victims desire that can be effected, not even the justice that can alleviate their harm. This "belated justice" is actually more aimed at the bystander, because the bystander has not suffered any substantial and irreversible harm. As a result, the justice received by the victims was far more light than the justice they aspired to.
Zhan Zhizhan was even a little strange, since he didn't agree with this sentence, why did he still remember it? Just like the current incident of the nephew and daughter of the "Tai Long" scourge of "Old Goryeo", although the "Tai Long" let the "Curly Hair" throw it into the well and drown afterwards. However, after all the scourge, isn't that an aftermath? At most, it is to vent anger to the niece daughter of "Old Goryeo". The former nephew and daughter who scourged "Old Goryeo", where is the "justice"?
Zhan Zhizhan thought about it for a while, and hesitated a little: "'Old Gaoli' should be very famous here." What kind of 'Tailong' is even if he has the support of 'black under the lamp', he has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and dares to harm the niece and daughter of 'Old Gaoli'? Aren't you afraid that 'Old Goryeo' will rip off his skin? Hey...... It was designated as the niece daughter of 'Old Gaoli' who went to tease 'Tailong' first, and regretted it when it was over, which caused such a big disaster! This really fulfills the old saying, 'red face and bad water'. ”
