Chapter Seventy-Six: Overnight Trial

Da Kui knocked more than 200 hammers before he saw the gate of the county government open. Then a group of officials rushed out of the yamen by moonlight and surrounded Da Kui. The catcher who took the lead didn't wake up, and shook off the shackles and came to lock people. Da Kui kicked the catch two heels with a side kick, and the shackles on his hands flew out and smashed on the feet of a servant, who jumped straight on the spot with his sore feet, grinning in pain. Although the shackles are wooden shackles, there are always more than 30 catties. Is it pleasant to be smashed on the surface of the foot?

Da Kui put Yu Xuzi on the ground, reached out and took out the token from his bosom and threw it to one of the officials: "Zhang Dakui, the official Jiangnan Tong political envoy, is here to inspect and try the case. Ascend to the hall immediately, there must be no mistakes!" After speaking, he ignored the crowd and walked into the yamen and went straight to the lobby. The officials behind him couldn't help but talk about it, and the officer who took the token couldn't see what was written on the token because it was dark. hurriedly picked up the lantern held by his companion and looked at it, and this look scared out of a white sweat.

The head catcher who had been kicked stood up, and was about to have a seizure to think that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked at the token. At first glance, his legs were weak, and he hurriedly ordered: "Go to the lobby and light the lamp." After speaking, he pulled a servant and said, "Hurry up and inform the master, just say that the Jiangnan political envoy Lord Zhang has arrived." The officer took the order, turned and galloped away.

When the head catcher saw the jade xuzi on the ground, he couldn't help but be stunned, and the monks were also traitors in these years, but since it was a person who was brought by the general government envoy, he must have made a big mistake. I didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and after taking the shackles, I locked the jade void.

Above the lobby, Da Kui was sitting precariously. The head catcher trembled and put Da Kui's token respectfully on the copy, and then led the officials to stand in two shifts. Da Kui slapped the stunned wood: "Ascension!" Wu~!" The officials under the hall sang Tang Wei, and the water and fire sticks in their hands made a bangbang sound in unison.

At this time, the Zhao County Order of Tiantai County rushed out from the back hall in fear, and came to the front of the hall and knelt on his knees: "Xiaguan Tiantai County ordered Zhao Fucai to see the general political envoy." I don't know if the adults will miss the welcome when they come to the small county, I hope the adults will forgive the sins!" Da Kui waved his hand and said: "Get up, it's the rush of this official to come, and it has nothing to do with you." Cut aside and waited for the dispatch. Zhao Fucai hurriedly got up, clenched his fists, and stood aside.

Da Kui slapped the shocked wood again and shouted: "Bring the prisoner Yu Xuzi up!" The two officials were waiting under the hall with Lingxuzi in their arms, and when they heard the summons of the political envoy, they dragged Yuxuzi up the hall.

At this time, Yu Xuzi was still in a coma, and Da Kui ordered someone to take a bucket of cold water and splash it on Yu Xuzi's head. With a "bang", Yu Xuzi woke up immediately. A bucket of cold water in this winter, no one can stand it!

After Da Kui sat down on the copy, he was shocked and shouted: "The people under the hall have reported their names!" Yu Xuzi looked left and right, but he was in the public hall of the Yamen, and then looked up and saw Da Kui sitting in the public court. Lingxuzi sighed secretly and said, "Poor Dao Jade Xuzi!" Da Kui patted Tang Mu and said angrily: "You are also worthy of being a disciple of the Daomen?

Yu Xuzi said quietly: "My common name is Zhang Zhiyu!" Da Kui couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, his name was Zhang Zhiyu? Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't know how to solve this hidden mystery! Da Kui asked: "This official has come to ask you what is your relationship with the Venerable Master of Tiantai Mountain, and how you murdered him, and you have truthfully recruited them one by one. ”

Yu Xuzi knew that it was rare to be good today, so he had to tell the truth one by one, and there was no deviation from what Da Kui knew. After listening to this, Da Kui immediately raised his voice and said: "The Lord is thin, and the confession will be drawn with him." The main secretary of the hall hurriedly took the confession and cinnabar ink, and Yuxuzi's right hand was invalid, so he had to hold the thumb of his right hand with cinnabar and draw it one by one on the confession.

When the master presented the confession drawn to Da Kui, Da Kui examined them one by one, and only after the trial was completed did he shout in shock: "The criminal Zhang Zhiyu, as a person outside the Daomen, is immortal. Greedy for the secret skills of the Daomen, poisoned and killed the teacher. This crime is unforgivable, and this official is now sentenced to Zhang Zhiyu to parade through the streets tomorrow and execute at the north gate of Tiantai County at noon!

Unexpectedly, there was a long shout outside the door: "Senior Brother Da Kui, I can't help it!" Although the voice came from outside the hall, it was far away. Da Kui couldn't help but be shocked, and after a while, he saw Lingxuzi running into the lobby. Lingxuzi shouted outside the yamen, and arrived in the lobby in an instant. Da Kui couldn't help but be surprised: 'Senior brother's body is so fast', Lingxuzi came to the hall and knelt down and said: "Poor Dao Tiantai Mountain Qingxuguan Lingxuzi meets the political envoy. ”

Lingxuzi broke into the hall without being summoned, and he was already charged with trespassing in the court, and he should be heavily responsible according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Lingxuzi came in and curtsied, and then said: "Poor Dao has a last resort, I hope the lord will be tolerant!"

Da Kui didn't want to blame the senior brother at this time, seeing that the senior brother's words seemed to have hidden feelings. Then he raised his voice and said: "There is a hidden secret, tell the truth!" Then he waved his hand and said: "Get up and talk, look at the seat!" The official after work received the order and took a chair and put it behind Lingxuzi. Lingxuzi arched his hand and said, "Lord Xie." Then he got up but didn't sit down.

The yamen has the law of the yamen, and no one is allowed to sit under the hall unless there is an official of the court. Lingxuzi didn't know how he didn't know about the rivers and lakes for a long time? I only heard Lingxuzi say: "The third junior brother Yuxuzi has a common surname Zhang, but he has a great relationship with his teacher. And the medicine used by the third junior brother at that time was ecstasy, and this medicine was not fatal. The death of the teacher was due to the self-severance of the heart. Wangtong political envoy is a courtesy trial. ”

Yu Xuzi said in a dejected voice: "The matter has come to this, what else is there to say." Let him behead me, I deserve it!" said him, and two lines of tears flowed down his face. Lingxuzi turned his head and comforted: "Why do the third junior brother give up on himself, and the ants are still stealing their lives, let alone a human being?

Da Kui sat in the hall but was a little inexplicable, and couldn't help asking: "Senior brother, can you tell me what is the origin of his teacher?"

It turned out that the Lingzhi Venerable's common surname was Zhang Mingxi, and because his fiancée was forcibly occupied by bullies and he was seriously injured by bullies, he was determined to practice martial arts and take revenge. Later, he had to meet Zhang Zhenren, the ancestor of Wudang Cave, as a disciple, and he learned art for seven years before he succeeded. (See Chapter 32 of Volume 2 for details) After Yicheng returned to his hometown to find the bully and his fiancée, the bully was imprisoned for committing a life lawsuit. And his fiancée committed suicide because of the humiliation.

Zhang Xi was angry and wanted to break into the prison, wanting to kill the bully to vent his anger. Unexpectedly, on the way, I happened to meet the Shaolin monk Guangji Zen Master passing by here, but Guangji Zen Master was admonishing two young people who were fighting on the street.

The two young men quarreled so fiercely that they later started to use knives. Zen Master Guangji tried hard to persuade him to use his martial arts to seize the knife, and then said to the two young people: "Be aware of poverty and grievances, form evil relationships, don't remember old evils, and don't hate people." The two benefactors need to know what they do today and what they will receive tomorrow. But beg to turn the war into jade silk in the face of the old man, Amitabha!"
