Chapter 135: Grievances.
At this moment, in the lobby of the house. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a short conversation, Li Xiuyuan learned about the situation of this middle-aged man who had been sharpening his knives all day and night.
His name is Wei Hu, he is a native of Guo Beicheng, because he was born tall and burly, he makes a living for people on weekdays, and even goes to the Shunfeng Dart Bureau to go through a few trips, and he has some fate with the Li family.
Because the SF dart bureau in Guo Beicheng was also opened by his Li family.
Li Xiuyuan opened his mouth at this moment: "Wei Hu, although I am not an official of the imperial court, nor am I a powerful person here, but as a scholar, if I encounter someone who has a grievance and has nowhere to redress, I should also write a lawsuit for him and give him justice, otherwise what is the use of reading this sage book?"
"It's just that whether you have a grievance or not, it's not for me to have the final say, after all, this world is big, and the fist is ...... No, the reason is the greatest, if it is unreasonable, even if I write a petition for you and hand it into the yamen, it will be useless if you can't fight the lawsuit. ”
"What Li Gongzi said is very true, but I do have grievances that are difficult to say. Wei Hu said sadly.
"If you have grievances, why don't you talk about them? I don't know your grievances, how can I write a pleadings for you?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Wei Hu gritted his teeth at this moment and hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that I can't believe Li Gongzi, but this matter is related to the Chu family." ”
The Chu family?
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment; "Which Chu family?"
"Naturally, it is the largest Chu family in Guo Beicheng. Wei Hu said.
"Do you think that I will also be afraid of the power of the Chu family, and I will not dare to write you a letter of revenge?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Wei Hu said a little disappointed, "In the past, a scholar promised to write a pleadings for me, but when he heard that the matter was related to the Chu family, he immediately rejected me, saying that this case does not need to be beaten, and it cannot be beaten. ”
"I don't care what others think, but I'm not afraid of the Chu family, if you believe me, tell me the case, if there is really a grievance, I will write a complaint for you. Li Xiuyuan said.
It is very common for scholars to write petitions for people to avenge their grievances, but he is not the only one who does this, because in a lawsuit in the yamen, he has to invite a scholar to be present and tell his grievances, and if there is no scholar invited to do so, then the possibility of losing the lawsuit will be very high, and even if he does not lose, the big case will become a small case, and the small case will be settled on the spot.
It may sound like a child's play, but it's actually what it is.
When Wei Hu heard Li Xiuyuan say this, he immediately knelt down with some gratitude and said, "Thank you Gongzi Li." ”
"I haven't helped you avenge yet, it's too early for you to thank me now, hurry up, don't kneel at every turn. Li Xiuyuan hurriedly helped him up.
Wei Hu was still very grateful and said: "Whether this thing is done or not, Li Gongzi's great kindness and great virtue, I will never forget it for the rest of my life." ”
"Let's not talk about this now, you have to tell me about your grievances now, and then I can go and write a good pleadings to avenge you. Li Xiuyuan said.
Wei Hu nodded, as if he recalled the unbearable past, and said with a sad expression: "This incident happened last year, and the time was probably at this time, my wife Wei hired a carriage one morning because her mother was seriously ill, and went back to her parents' house to visit the sick, but who knew that the wheel broke not long after the carriage left the city, and my wife Wei had to abandon the carriage and walk back to her parents' house alone." ”
"But, how do you know that when my wife met Wang Tong, the housekeeper of the Chu family, when Wang Tong saw that my wife was traveling alone, he actually saw that he was happy, and ordered his subordinates to take my wife away, including that Wang Tong, more than a dozen people, a dozen people, this group of beasts insulted my wife in the nearby woods, and when I received the news and arrived, my wife had already hanged herself from the tree. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Hu's eyes were red, he was full of grief and anger, and he clenched his fists tightly and wanted to cut those beasts with a thousand knives.
"Li Gongzi, don't you know, my wife was still pregnant at the time, and she was three months pregnant. ”
Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan was immediately shocked, not to mention Wei Hu's grief and anger, he was also full of anger when he heard it.
There are such beasts in this world.
"Li Gongzi, I reported to the official afterwards, but the rights of the Chu family are monstrous, and the people in the government only sentenced my wife to be a bandit on the road and has nothing to do with others. ”
Wei Hu knelt down again and said excitedly, "Since that day, I have always stopped thinking about revenge, and I want to kill that Wang Tong and more than a dozen subordinates of the Chu family...... I sharpen my knife every night, and during the day I go to look for an opportunity to kill that Wang Tong, but I am useless, I am a waste, obviously only five steps away from that Wang Tong, I just dare not attack with a knife. ”
"This person harmed your wife and children, why don't you dare to splash blood for five steps?"
Li Xiuyuan stood up and said a little angrily: "Could it be that your wife and children were killed, and you don't dare to fight with your life with such a sea of blood?"
"Li Gongzi, it's not that I don't dare, I'm not a person who is afraid of death, but if I die, what should my mother do. ”
Wei Hu knelt on the ground and cried: "My mother is over seventy years old, if I kill Wang Tong and be detained by the government, who will support my mother, so I can only sharpen the knife every night, but I don't dare to start, and even the waist knife has been worn out five times, but I haven't killed the bully until now." ”
"That Wang Tong is really hateful. ”
Li Xiuyuan was also angry in his heart, and slammed the wooden table next to him, and the hard wooden table exploded in an instant.
"Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi, please Li Gongzi, write a statement for me, sue that Wang Tong, and give me justice. ”
Wei Hu knelt in front of Li Xiuyuan while crying, kowtowed.
Li Xiuyuan scolded: "What kind of paper is still written now, what kind of justice is there, this case has become a death case, there is no proof of death, how can you sue to win, besides, the official mansion has already been bought by the people of the Chu family, you can't win last year, let alone this year." ”
"Well, that's how to do it. Wei Hu was blindfolded for a while.
"Who told you that you have to go to the government for revenge? If the dog official here can be relied on, that Wang Tong would have been cut down a long time ago, since the government is unreliable, then rely on yourself, let me ask you, do you dare to kill people?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"Dare, I dare to kill, I don't think about killing the Chu family's housekeeper Wang Tong all the time, but what about my mother?"
Li Xiuyuan said: "If you dare to kill someone, it's easy to do, your mother and I will support you to ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and after you kill that Wang Tong, don't surrender yourself, I will arrange for you to go to Wangchuan Mountain and fall into the grass, and be a robber in the future, it is better than being a thief here every day, if you don't repay this kind of revenge, it is boring to live." ”
"Li, Li Gongzi, is this true?" Wei Hu raised his head abruptly and asked excitedly.
"Naturally, I'll arrange everything for you, but don't hold back when you do it. Li Xiuyuan said.
"Absolutely not, Li Gongzi, don't worry, I just want to kill that Wang Tong desperately. Wei Hu stopped crying and said through gritted teeth.
"That's fine, I'll give you a chance, but until then, I'll do it. Li Xiuyuan's eyes flickered.
Wei Hu nodded again and again, indicating that he was willing to obey orders.
"Haha, your nephew really doesn't look like a scholar at all, other scholars go to the government to fight a lawsuit for others, but you are good, not only do you not go to the lawsuit, but take the initiative to help others plan to kill people, and there is really no law at all in your eyes. ”
A somewhat obscene laugh sounded, but a sloppyly dressed Taoist strode in from outside.
"Uncle Shi, the law can't be followed, it's better to rely on yourself, kill people to pay off debts and pay back, this is the biggest truth of Taixia, and my nephew thinks that there is nothing wrong with doing this. Li Xiuyuan was startled at first, and then saw that it was a wooden Taoist coming, but he was relieved, and then gave a salute.
Mu Daoren looked at Wei Hu, and said with a smile: "You help him lay out the killing and arrange the back road, but have you thought about what would happen to you after the incident in the east window without this matter?"
"Just be a person with a clear conscience, don't care about what you do, look ahead, cherish your reputation and feathers, and you will never succeed. Li Xiuyuan looked calm and unmoved.
"With a clear conscience, you should really be a knight, not a scholar. ”
Mu Daoren smiled: "My senior brother said a long time ago, your personality is too strong, and it is true at first sight today, but your method is slightly risky, why don't you try this method of your uncle?"
"Is there a better way for Uncle Shi?" asked Li Xiuyuan.
Mu Daoren pretended to be mysterious and said: "Poor Dao pinched his fingers, after dawn today, Chu Tian, the son of the Chu family, will send someone to your house to send an invitation, inviting you to go out of the city tomorrow to hunt, and then the Chu family's housekeeper Wang Tong and a group of subordinates will accompany him." ”
"Oh, what Uncle Shi said is true? That's better, tomorrow I'll let Wei Hu ambush nearby, waiting for the opportunity to move. Li Xiuyuan said.
Mu Daoren shook his head and said: "Stupid, stupid, Wei Hu is just a person, how can he kill people under layers of guards? I'm afraid that he will be killed by the guards of the Chu family before he rushes in front of him, and even if he is killed, if he is captured, it will just be a life for a life, not worth it, not worth it." ”
"Uncle Shi, what do you think?" asked Li Xiuyuan.
Mu Daoren walked up to Wei Hu and looked at it, nodded and smiled again, "Your name is Wei Hu?" Well, good name, you have a relationship with the tiger, why don't you be a tiger tomorrow?"
"Dao, Dao Chief, what do you mean by this?" Wei Hu said with some doubts.
"Senior nephew, do you have a tiger skin in this house? Instead of answering, the wooden man turned around and asked.
Li Xiuyuan said: "A few days ago, I hunted the Black Mountain King, skinned it and stayed in the mansion, but it was in the county mansion, not here, if Uncle Shi wanted, I would let the guards ride back overnight to get it." ”
"Your guards are too slow to come and go this time, go get it. ”
Mu Daoren came to the door of the lobby as he spoke, and beckoned to the night sky in the distance: "Come, come, come, where is the tiger skin of Black Mountain Jun?"
At this moment, in a house in the Li Mansion in Guobei County, there is a black tiger skin placed here.
Ordinary tigers, the tiger skin is only more than half a zhang, but the tiger skin of this black tiger is nearly two zhang long, the teeth are sharp like daggers, hideous and powerful, which makes people daunted at a glance.
This is the skin of the thousand-year-old demon, the Black Mountain King.
But this skin suddenly had no wind at the moment, and then it slammed into the door and window and flew towards the distant sky, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
