Chapter 159: Report to the county office
Su Jia told Xiao Tian everything he had just experienced. Xiao Tian's eyes widened, and after listening to Su Jia's description, he also looked surprised.
"This ...... Is this true?" Xiao Tian said with some slurp, "Jia'er, you mean...... The disciples of the Beggar Gang know your identity, and it's not just them, because of the showdown with the Emei faction that day, Master Aojing knows our identity too well...... Right now...... Now the whole martial arts basically knows where we come from......"
Su Jia looked at Xiao Tian's surprised expression, calmed down, nodded slowly, and then said: "Don't talk about martial arts now, that day I broke into Bianliang Xiang's Mansion at night, Wang Dasheng aimed at my martial arts, if this matter reached his ears, then we are likely to be in danger at any time......"
"Bian...... Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion?" Xiao Tian couldn't help but say again.
"Yes, it's that night......" Su Jia said, and her tone became sluggish, because speaking of that night, Su Jia herself had something like that with Xiao Tian, and it was still a little embarrassing to think about it now.
Xiao Tian also seemed to think of it, because he had been awake that night. However, the current thing is whether Wang Dasheng mentioned by Su Jia knows the secret of the two of them, because he is worried about everything that may happen in the future, Xiao Tian asked with some worry: "That Jia'er, we are ...... now What to do?"
"There's no need to be too anxious, after all, Wang Dasheng hasn't made any fancy moves recently, and he doesn't seem to know much about this matter......" Su Jia lowered her head slightly, and said while thinking, "But as the saying goes, 'long nights and dreams'." Staying in Bianliang any longer may not be a long-term solution...... If there is really no way, we can only leave Bianliang as soon as possible. ”
"Leaving Bianliang?" Hearing such a sudden news, Xiao Tian was a little overwhelmed.
"Hmm. Although we are not in a hurry to leave today, we must also prepare in advance......" Su Jia replied softly.
Xiao Tian thought that he had finally met so many brothers and friends in Bianliang City, but now he was about to leave Bianliang in a hurry, Xiao Tian couldn't help but feel the helplessness of the rapid change of things.
Su Jia was silent for a long time, as if she was hesitating because of the weishenme matter. Immediately, Su Jiacai slowly spit out the words and said, "I'm sorry, Ah Tian." It's all because of me...... In order to find Chen Shijin's whereabouts as soon as possible, and for my own selfish desire for revenge, I did that to Ah Tian. also carried you to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone at night, and as a result, Ah Tian and you were affected, and even Sister Jing and Brother Tang ......"
Xiao Tian saw Su Jia blaming herself in front of him again, and his expression immediately became deep. Xiao Tian looked at Su Jia with a somewhat sad expression. So I became depressed. Then he said with deep meaning: "You didn't affect me, but you just affected yourself, every time Jia'er, you always put all the burden on you alone in order not to worry me...... You want to seek revenge on Chen Shijin, this is your goal all along. Ever since I got along with Jia'er, I've always been willing to be by your side, and your goal is my goal...... In fact, Jia'er, you don't need too much burden in your heart, since I and Jingmei and their friends are by your side. You should feel happier than ever, shouldn't you?"
Su Jia listened to Xiao Tian's words and did not look up at Xiao Tian. Instead, he still looked down at the sparse grass ground. Although Su Jia was sad on the surface, she seemed to agree with what Xiao Tian said in her heart. Xiao Tian was not wrong, since Su Jia sent out the mountain from chasing the wind, he has always walked his own path of revenge alone, and he has never believed in anyone anymore. But when she met Xiao Tian in Liusha Town, Xiao Tian once again taught her the trust between friends. Xiao Tian and Liu Duan in Liusha Town, Gao Ying and Xiaoqing in Meihua Villa, and now Huang Ji, Lu Jing, Tang Zhan and others in Bianliang, more and more friends, more and more trust and care, so that Su Jia, who has always been cold, once again feels the warmth between friends. In getting along with Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian is always more optimistic than Su Jia in the face of things, but it is this optimism that makes Su Jia not give up in the face of many life setbacks, and also makes Su Jia learn to trust new friends and care about new friends. Although his martial arts overshadow the heroes, in terms of dealing with the world, in fact, there are many things, Xiao Tian can see a lot more than Su Jia. When she thinks of this, Su Jia always feels a sense of guilt in her heart. This is not to say that Su Jia feels inferior to herself, on the contrary, it should be said that Su Jia is grateful to each other for trusting friends and improving her personality.
"I'm not as pessimistic as you think...... Su Jia thought for a long time, then raised her head and continued, "But I still have to xiexie you, Ah Tian, with you by my side, no matter what kind of ups and downs I encounter, I will not give up hope, so xiexie you." It's so nice that you're by my side, I mean it......" Su Jia said as she spoke, her face flushing slightly.
"Jia'er......" Xiao Tian couldn't help but blush a little when he saw Su Jia say such affectionate words in front of him again.
However, the knot in Su Jia's heart didn't seem to be fully untied, just now when he mentioned his night break into the Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Jia thought of the secret of the kendo conference that only he knew—he accidentally saw it in the Xiangfu library that day. Now that he still hasn't told anyone this secret, Su Jia's heart is also very entangled. Although the kendo tournament has ended, and the value of this secret disclosure is not great now, the severity of the consequences of the whole thing is already unknown. Thinking of this, Su Jia always held back an unpredictable sense of unease in her heart.
"What are you thinking, Jia'er?" Seeing Su Jia's eyes sluggish again, Xiao Tian thought that Su Jia had thought of something again, so he couldn't help asking.
"Ah, no...... No......" Su Jia immediately recovered from her overly far-reaching thoughts, and then continued to change the topic, "I was thinking...... Sister Jing and Brother Tang, what are they doing now. ”
"Jia'er, didn't you say that you were going to accompany them to find Master Xuankong?" Xiao Tian suddenly became stupid again, "As a result, Jia'er, you said that you met a beggar disciple on the way, and after some entanglement, you came back first by yourself and forgot about it." ”
"Oops. Yes, look at my brain......" Su Jiagu smiled and patted her head lightly.
"So what do we do now. As Jia'er you just said, if this matter has spread in the martial arts, I think Wang Dasheng, who is strong in martial arts, will know about this matter sooner or later......" Xiao Tian returned to the topic and continued to ask.
Su Jia thought for a while, and then said: "We are the same, and it is only a matter of time before we leave Bianliang." It's just that this matter is a bit sudden, and we haven't prepared for anything. It's better to wait for Sister Jing and them to come back before making plans...... Jingmei is very smart, and she also knows Wang Dasheng's character, and she has confronted him face to face. Maybe she could do something. ”
"Hey, that's all there is for now...... Xiao Tian sighed lightly and said, "Jianghu Bo, it's the damn 'Jianghu Bo' again." Is this really my fate and Jia'er's fate?"
"Ah Tian......" Su Jia kept looking at Xiao Tian who sighed to himself in a low voice. Perhaps there are more thoughts and feelings in her heart......
The entrance of Huang's Pharmacy......
Chang Feng of the beggar gang, with his fellow disciples Yang Jinkang and Lu coexisting, sure enough, as he said to Su Jia before, he did come to find Huang Ji for something. And looking at their appearance, they seem to be very familiar with the Huang family's medicine workshop, and after entering the courtyard, they seem to be very familiar with the structure inside. It was quick to tell where each room was - it looked like they weren't here for the first time, in other words. They have a lot of dealings with Huang Ji.
"Huang Shaoxia, Huang Shaoxia-" Yang Jinkang didn't see Huang Ji's figure, so he shouted around.
"Elder Chang, I didn't see Huang Shaoxia's shadow, he should have gone out......" Lu Gongsheng returned to Chang Feng's side and reported.
Seeing this, Chang Feng also said loudly: "Huang Shaoxia, the beggar gang seven bags elder Chang Feng and the five bags of disciples Yang Jinkang and Lu came to see Huang Shaoxia, I don't know if Huang Shaoxia is convenient?"
However, after a long time, there was still no response, and it seemed that Huang Ji should really be absent.
"It seems that Huang Shaoxia is not here......" Yang Jinkang said softly.
"Maybe it's going out to sell calligraphy and paintings or treat people, but it's not the first time anyway......" Chang Feng said disapprerovingly.
"So what do we do now?" Lu Gongsheng also smelled.
Chang Feng thought about it carefully, and then said: "As soon as we arrived in Bianliang, we met the heir of the Soul Breaking Sword Technique, maybe there is still a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in this huge Bianliang city...... Gang Master Ge told us about our affairs, and we must inform Huang Shaoxia, so we should not be too publicistic in Bianliang City. So, let's wait in this pharmacy, even if he doesn't come back for a few days, we'll wait here, anyway, we're just going to do this one thing, so we must make sure it's safe. ”
"I see, Elder......" Yang Jinkang replied softly.
Chang Feng sighed softly, then looked up at the sky, thinking a little in his heart. "Huang Shaoxia is really, where will he be at this time......" Chang Feng muttered softly, but at this time, he could only pass the time in the small workshop of Huang's Medicine Workshop......
However, at this time, Huang Ji was going to the county government in Bianliang to protect the atrocities of Nangong last night.
In the solemn and hideous public hall, the prefect sat on top of the public hall, and the guards who died like wooden stakes stood on both sides, like the atmosphere of a living tomb. At this time, Huang Ji had just entered the court, and the county government had just been promoted.
"Ah, it's Huang Gongzi who came to report the case today......" The prefect also seemed to be very familiar with Huang Ji, so he greeted him with a smile first, "The famous 'Bianliang Doctor' in Bianliang City, what did he report to the official today?"
It seems that Huang Ji not only has a good reputation in front of the poor people, but also many wealthy officials and businessmen also respect Huang Ji very much.
Huang Ji knelt on the ground, the whole person still stood upright, and then he clasped his fists with both hands and said: "My lord Mingjian, Huang Ji, a grass citizen, passed by the Bianliang departure area last night, and went to the local Xiaoyun girl's house to treat her illness, but found that the aggravated tragedy was poisoned by the man in black. The two members of the family all died, and the little Yun girl was even raped by the wicked, and her behavior was outrageous, and I hope the adults will see it!"
"Oh, you said that Miss Xiaoyun's family was murdered, but you know that it was done by a group of people in black...... "The prefect listened to Huang Ji's words, and asked rhetorically, "Then you can ask Huang Gongzi, how did you know the person who did it, could it be that when they were violent, Huang Gongzi, you were also beside you?"
Huang Ji looked very calm and calm, and then said, "No, my lord." The villain just arrived at the door of Xiao Yun's girl's house and met a gangster in black. and fought with them, driving away their leader, but failed to save their family's lives. I still feel guilty. Speaking of this, Huang Ji's voice was also a little low, as if he was still feeling remorse for what happened last night.
The prefect thought for a moment, and then said, "Since Huang Gongzi has fought with him, can you know who their leader is?"
"Of course the villain knows......" Huang Ji said, his eyes immediately became angry, and then he bit word by word. "He's - Nangong Yong!"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the prefect's face just now immediately turned into a rainy hesitation. Immediately, the prefect asked again: "Huang Gongzi, are you sure." If you slander the people of the Nangong family, Huang Gongzi, you know the consequences-"
"The villain is sure, and there is a murderous corpse as proof!" Huang Ji said, making a gesture to the back. Motioned for the physical evidence to be brought to court.
"Bring up the physical evidence-" The prefect snapped the case. Then ordered the guards in the back.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for two guards to come up carrying the body of a man in black. This man in black is one of the men in black who was beaten to death by Huang Ji at the door of Miss Xiaoyun's house last night, and now that the physical evidence is there, Huang Ji also feels that this case is very certain.
The prefect glanced at it, and then said: "This is just a dead black-clothed assassin, and we can only find the cause of his death at most, but it can't prove that all this is the work of the third-in-command of the Nangong family." Unless...... Huang Gongzi, what other evidence do you have? ”
"The grass people still have human witnesses-" Huang Ji saluted again, "If there are human and physical evidence." Can adults deny it?"
The prefect thought for a moment, and then slapped the case and ordered: "Witness—"
Sure enough, the witness who came up was Uncle Gu who saw this scene last night. Uncle Gu knelt on the ground, first bowed down and said, "The grass people knock on the prefect—"
"This official asks you, Huang Gongzi said that Nangong Yong, the third-in-command of the Nangong family, led a group of black-clothed assassins to commit atrocities against the Xiaoyun girl's family in your area last night, is it true?" the prefect asked Uncle Gu first.
Uncle Gu rubbed his body, and then continued to answer: "Lord Hui, it is indeed true, and it is not the first time that Nangong Yong has visited the area of the grass people. ”
"What does it mean that it's not the first time?" the prefect asked again.
Uncle Gu continued to reply: "My lord, the Bianliang departure area originally belonged to the remote area of Bianliang, and few people in the government cared about it. Even if the land is small, it is also a public lot. However, Nangong used to forcibly requisition his land regardless of right and wrong, wanting to occupy it for himself. At first, he and the residents of the departure area tried to negotiate in a compromise way, but the residents refused to do so. However, he released cruel words and wanted to take revenge on us, but he didn't expect ...... I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect it to really happen last night, pity Miss Xiaoyun's family......" Speaking of this, Uncle Gu also sobbed a little.
"You mean, Nangong Yong wants to forcibly expropriate the commons?" asked the prefect again, "This is a matter that will lose his head, as the third-in-command of the Nangong family, he still dares to defy the law, are you really sure?"
Uncle Gu nodded very affirmatively and said, "The grass people don't dare to say anything, the villain has also talked to Nangong in person." ”
After the prefect probably knew the situation, the whole person seemed hesitant. Looking at his appearance, the prefect thinks that the Nangong family is wealthy, and even if he is the prefect of Bianliang City, he does not dare to control the head of the Nangong family. Now if the third-in-command of the Nangong family breaks the law, he doesn't know whether to take care of it or not, and if the first two leaders of the Nangong family are angry, he can't eat and walk around.
Seeing that the prefect was a little hesitant, Huang Ji continued: "My lord, the human and material evidence is here, what else do you have to hesitate?"
The prefect seemed to have something in mind, so he said first: "This official knows that Huang Gongzi is a generous and righteous person, but this case is related to the status of the Nangong family, and it cannot be easily determined...... Seeing that there are still many doubts in this case, this official cannot draw conclusions only on simple human and physical evidence. ”
Huang Ji listened to what the prefect said, but he also wanted to give justice to Miss Xiaoyun and the victimized civilians as soon as possible, so he stepped up and asked, "Then according to the adult, how should it be determined?"
The prefect thought for a while, and then said, "That's it, let's go back first today, and wait for the official to think about it first...... When the official figures it out, he will notify you and the prisoner to go to court. ”
"Lord Xie—" Huang Ji and Uncle Gu bowed in unison.
"Retreat from the court-" The prefect ordered to retreat, and everyone left one after another, and Huang Ji and Uncle Gu also left the court temporarily......
After Huang Ji walked for a long time, the prefect said to the master beside him: "Hey, it's really eight lifetimes of mold, this Huang Ji, the dignified 'Bianliang Doctor' has a hard name, and his body bones are hard, it's not good to report anyone, but I went to report the third-in-command of the Nangong family......"
The master smiled flatteringly and asked, "Then according to the meaning of the adult, how should we deal with this case?"
The prefect smiled lightly, and then responded: "This person from the Nangong family will never dare to offend, but if it is really Nangong's law, we will not dare to let it go in front of the government...... Hmph, anyway, in terms of the nature of this case, it can't be easily determined, why don't we go to Nangong's house immediately to ask about the situation, and report this matter to the people of Nangong's family, so that the people of Nangong's family and Huang Ji can 'fight' by themselves, and we can benefit from it, wouldn't it be better?"
"The adults are really smart, and the little ones admire ......," the master also laughed on the side.
In the dignified public court, there are now two villains who are planning to go against the conscience...... (To be continued......)
