Volume 4: The Tribulation of Middle-earth Chapter 17: The Madness, the Scholar, the Murderer, the Maniac

Longxing County is located in the west of Heluo, this place is originally a military city, Dayong Taizu once served as a soldier here, it is from here that he began to rise from the military Han step by step to the commander, with the army here to occupy Heluo, and finally won the country, it can be described as the land of Longxing, Dayong Taizu named this place Longxing after ascending the throne.

Due to the military disaster of Heluo, it is difficult to survive here, three major wars around Heluo before and after, the people here have been forcibly captured by the army many times, and the ten rooms and nine empty rooms have been made here, even those powerful Wu forts are not spared, and it is difficult to find a place to settle in a huge Longxing County.

Liu Zhenquan took Liu Xin'er into the county seat, and the once thick military city wall was only a ruined wall, and even the avenues in the city were overgrown with wild grass.

"I often heard my uncle talk about the ruins of the Heluo area, but I didn't expect it to look like this. ”

"Death, the people suffer, prosperity, the people suffer. ”

Liu Xin'er recalled what Liu Zhenquan said, and was startled by a passer-by who ran out next to her for a while, who was disheveled, his eyes were cloudy, he was holding a dilapidated folding umbrella, and he sang a small tune of meeting while walking.

"What a weirdo. ”

"It's no wonder I don't know, I just know that if we can't find a place to live tonight, we will have to live in an abandoned house and a broken temple again. ”

With the last experience, Liu Xin'er didn't want to live in the broken temple anymore, so she hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, then let's go quickly, I already see a flag in front of me." ”

"There's an inn in this shabby place?"

"That's right, Uncle Shi, I can't be wrong with this. ”

......

"Uncle Shi's strange man was also at the door of the inn, and he was beaten by the people of the inn. ”

"Don't worry about right and wrong when you go out, let's go straight over. ”

Xiao Er saw the two of them coming, and asked diligently: "The two of you, please, please ask if you are going to stay or stay." ”

"My uncle and nephew, passing by here, ask the second brother to help us prepare two clean rooms. ”

"Okay, the shopkeeper's two upper rooms, objectively inside, please, there are steps to watch out. Stinky beggars go away, don't disturb the guests. ”

After speaking, he pushed the scholar away.

The scholar was not angry when he was pushed away, and laughed: "Then congratulations to the shopkeeper for a prosperous business." ”

Liu Zhenquan and the two of them entered and said to Xiao Er: "Little Second Brother, bring us a few vegetarian dishes and two bowls of Yangchun noodles." ”

"Okay, two bowls of noodles, a few vegetarian dishes. Wait a minute. After saying that, he hurried down.

"Why don't you eat some meat, Uncle Shi? I haven't eaten meat for a long time?"

Liu Zhenquan said with a smile: "This place has been barren for so long, do you still want to eat meat?"

"Oh. ”

Xiao Er came up and said: "Girl, this place is sparsely populated, and it is not bad to have a stutter, if you want to eat meat, it depends on when the mountain people come here to buy salt, otherwise there is no salt at all." ”

"Thank you for the explanation, if you are not busy at this time, let the poor ask some questions. ”

"Guest officer, business is in a depression now, what questions do you have? ”

"I heard it just now, the shopkeeper inside said to the little second brother, leave some leftovers for the scholar outside?

"Why did I push that madman?"

Liu Zhenquan said with a smile: "I really have this question. ”

"Guest officer, don't you know, the scholar outside the door surnamed Di, double name Yusheng, this is the son of a big family here, parents and ancestors on the accumulation of virtue, I and the shopkeeper have received the favor of the old man, and then the old man died after he told him about the family, somehow later killed his wife and three-year-old child, was arrested by the county to prison, and then I heard that he was crazy in prison, and encountered a military disaster, the county was broken, because of his madness but escaped, although he despised him, there will still be some leftovers left in the inn to him. ”

Liu Zhenquan heard that he hugged his fists and said to Xiao Er: "Shopkeeper, little second brother Gao Yi." ”

Liu Xin'er whispered: "I didn't expect this crazy boy to be so terrible. ”

Liu Zhenquan said noncommittally: "Eat your food, there is food and you can't stop your mouth." ”

.......

It didn't take long to hear the sound of drums coming from the county office, and Liu Zhenquan asked curiously: "Little second brother, is there still an official government here to handle the case?"

"There is no official government for a long time, there is that madman, who goes to the yamen every day to shout that he is wronged, but the evidence is conclusive, and there is no way to deny it. ”

.....

At night, Liu Zhenquan stood at the door, leading the old sheep to graze at will, and the down-and-out son Di Yusheng came to the door and waited, and the little second brother took out the food.

Liu Zhenquan asked, "Di Gongzi, are you really wronged?"

Di Yusheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of hope, and he pulled Liu Zhenquan and said, "I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone, I was wronged, are you willing to believe me?"

Liu Zhenquan smiled and said: "Poor Dao believes you, if you were really haunted, my old sheep would have avoided you a long time ago, once in the morning, and now once, it has not avoided you." It is important to know that animals are the most sensitive to blood gas. ”

Just as animals are most sensitive to butchers, and a person who can kill his wife and children should have a stronger evil spirit than a butcher, but the old sheep approached this person without any abnormality, as if a harmless person approached.

Everyone else in the inn was very curious, because everyone from the official mansion to Dawn thought that this was a murderous maniac who killed his wife and children. Can this blind Taoist priest confirm that he has been wronged?

"Guest officer, this press has been convicted, I'm afraid no one will believe you with just one sheep. ”

Di Yusheng kept saying to everyone: "I really didn't kill anyone, believe me, believe me, I was wronged." ”

But the crowd didn't want to believe what a madman was saying.

"Of course you don't believe it with a sheep, but I am the brother of Dayong Liu Shilang, and this girl is the widow of Liu Shilang. ”

"Which Liu Shirou?"

"You are stupid, don't you know that the Heluo soldier disaster Liu Shilang is a single sword, and the sword guards the dawn of the city, and finally in the chaos of life and death, Liu Shilang who was given the nickname Wenzheng. ”

"It turned out to be Liu Wenzheng's brother, Liu Shilang's concubine, in front of him, disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

"Liu Wenzheng's brother shouldn't tell nonsense and deceive people. ”

At this time, the celebrity effect comes out, and what Liu Zhenquan wants is this effect, everyone may not believe what an unknown person says, but what a celebrity says, everyone will definitely think about it and then decide.

When Di Yusheng saw that Liu Zhenquan believed that he was innocent and took the name of the late Liu Wenzheng as a hostage, he was moved to tears.

And Liu Xin'er, who has always complained about her father, suddenly found that although her father did not accompany her, she left herself with more glory, and she couldn't help but regret her former willfulness.

Liu Zhenquan said softly: "I hope you will give Poor Dao some time, so that you can return justice to the world, Di Gongzi, you don't have to worry about the justice of freedom in the world." ”
