Chapter Twenty-Eight: I Can't Hate It
As soon as he walked out of the cabin, the Taoist chief greeted him, bowed and saluted, and said very politely: "Poor Dao Min Rong has seen Duanmu Gongzi, I will be too late to make Gongzi frightened, please forgive me." ”
"I didn't expect these ancients to be quite qualified, and they spoke politely and politely. He Nai laughed secretly in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down in a pretentious manner, and hurriedly said: "Daoist Min, thanks to you, otherwise I would have been miserable." ”
"Duanmu Gongzi, this time is indeed the sin of the poor Dao. Taoism pays attention to cause and effect, and it is the reason why the contemptible people invited the son to get together, which is the result of encountering the thief, so I begged the son to forgive. Min Daochang still said humbly and kindly.
He Nai thinks about it, he thinks it is also, he can really blame the head of this bird Taoist, if he hadn't invited him, where would he have encountered such a thing? But I want to come back, don't I also want to come to eat and drink, people came with a fart as soon as they were invited, and as a result, I lost a finger and became disabled, and I almost didn't even save my life, and I was really ****** cheap!
At this time, a small path hurriedly ran over and saluted: "Report to the master, the thieves have all been captured, and they are all up to the master." ”
Min Daochang said: "All of them will be escorted back and handed over to the government tomorrow for disposal." ”
"Yes!" Xiao Dao just wanted to turn around and walk away, but suddenly said again: "Master, there is another matter to report." The latter sentence is relatively quiet, as if a little weak-hearted.
"Speak. Min Daochang said in a harmonious voice.
The trail said, "Yes, master." He had just captured a thief, and he was carrying his mother on his back and preparing to escape, and now he has been begging hard, dare to ask the master if he wants to open the net?"
"Oh? This Min Dao Chang walked quickly to the place where the thief was kneeling, and He Nai and Yin Shiyi also followed. He Nai took a closer look, his face immediately turned blue with anger, and he gritted his teeth, who is this person? It turned out that the person who knelt on the ground and cried for his father and begged for mercy was the lewd man who almost dug He Nai's heart just now!
"Dao Chief, Dao Chief, you have to make decisions for us. Seeing Min Daochang coming, the lewd man knelt on the ground and crawled over, how dirty it was to be like that, He Nai really wanted to rush up and slam it.
"You have done a lot of evil, so many innocent souls have been killed by you, who are you going to call the shots?" Min Daochang said expressionlessly, looking up at an old woman kneeling not far away, this old woman was very thin, kneeling on the ground looked even weaker, her body kept shaking, and she looked pitiful.
"Don't you know, Dao Chief, Shanxi has been in drought for many years, and we have no harvest in Yangquan this year, and the people are either starving to death, or doing thieves everywhere, in fact, only thieves have a way to live, and we are all forced. ”
Just now, a Taoist priest wanted to interrupt him, and Daoist Min motioned for him to continue.
"Dao Chief, I am a dignified man, I am not afraid to kill or chop, but there is still an old mother, with inconvenient legs and feet, and my eyes are unknown, if the little one dies, who will take care of her? The little one is short in stature, not good at fighting and killing, and is not the material for the bandits, but fortunately, there is still the skill of cooking vegetables, and the leader of the bandits is fancy to it, the little one is just a man, and the rations that can be shared are very small, I am the first to feed the old mother, and I have been struggling to live..."
"Son~" The old woman suddenly cried, this cry was so miserable that it only made people tremble in their hearts. "It turns out that you have been lying to me, you said that the king treats you well, and you can eat as much as you want, so I can eat with confidence. It turns out that you've been hungry all along. As she spoke, she crawled over, touched the man's face with her hand, and said with tears streaming down her face: "Mother can't see it, I just think that you are thin again, we are thieves, and we have done too much evil, so don't ask for it, if you want to kill them, you can kill them." Mother is not afraid, on this Huangquan Road, mother will walk with you. ”
Somehow, for this lewd man, He Nai couldn't hate it at this time, but his heart was sour, he felt that he was quite pitiful, and he felt that he was quite a bastard, the only relative and elder - Uncle Dun, he had never been seriously filial, and would only cause trouble for him everywhere. even felt that compared to the obscene thief in front of him, he was just a piece of. Thinking of this, He Nai couldn't help sighing, turned to Min Daochang and said, "Min Daochang, they are indeed quite pitiful, or let them go." The group of Taoist priests around him were also whispering, and it seemed that many people wanted to let the two of them go.
When the lewd man kneeling on the ground heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and looked at He Nai, his eyes were full of tears, and his face was grateful, and he said: "Thank you Duanmu Gongzi, adults don't care about villains, I Cao Liu is willing to be a cow and a horse for you in the next life!"
Min Daochang looked at He Nai with a smile and said: "It is worthy of being the ancestor of the sages, Duanmu Gongzi can repay his grievances with virtue, which is really admirable." It's just that the poor are pitiful, and the poor road can't be overstepped and judged, and can only be escorted to the government to listen to the fate. I ask for your forgiveness. ”
"This bird Taoist priest speaks in a set of sets, it's too ****** crepe, and it's dizzy to listen to, just say no. He Nai thought unhappily.
"You can know that Gyeonggi is a place where the law is strictly enforced, and the habitual offender who kills and robs should be guilty of Ling Chi. Moreover, if you do many evils and lose all your morals, you will be sentenced to ten heinous sins according to the "Ming Statutes", and it is difficult to forgive them. Min Daochang raised his voice and said righteously, hearing that the thieves were terrified, many thieves collapsed to the ground directly when they heard the word "Ling Chi", and the lewd man and the old woman hugged their heads and cried.
He Nai was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what age this was, it turned out to be the Ming Dynasty, and he was secretly glad in his heart -- the Ming Dynasty didn't seem to be too far away! As for what kind of sage Duanmu was, he didn't understand it at all, and he didn't know what Lao Dao was talking about.
"Privately recidivism is also a felony, how can I release you?" Min Daochang bowed his head and said to the lewd man: "However, filial piety comes first, you can be so filial, it is really commendable, and it is also impossible to fall into the grass." After reporting to the official tomorrow, I will definitely go to the Yamen to intercede for you, and I beg for mercy as appropriate. Daoist Min said, signaling the Taoist priests to tie up all the thieves and escort them away, and then called Yin Shiyi aside and whispered softly, only to see Yin Shiyi smile and nod.
"Oh, it turns out that this stinky Taoist priest is also afraid of officials, but it's true, if the thieves reveal that he let the prisoner go without permission, it is estimated that he will not be able to eat and walk around. Thinking of this, He Nai shook his head contemptuously.
At night, the moon has lifted the thick clouds and flashed with a bright light, illuminating the mountain road brightly, and the cool breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants makes people feel comfortable, and He Nai breathed a long sigh of relief. On the way down the mountain, Min Daochang and He Nai walked in the front, this Min Daochang said a lot along the way, his words were more difficult to understand than Yin Shiyi, this is bitter He Nai, who has no culture, really listened to his head was almost swollen, and he only understood what he seemed to be saying tomorrow. He Nai really couldn't help it, and while Lao Dao was talking, he also echoed casually with "oh oh uh-huh". Lao Dao also seemed to suspect that He Nai was frightened, and he didn't care about his **** reaction. At this time, a few Taoist priests who seemed to be small heads came up to talk to Min Daochang about something big, He Nai took the opportunity to slow down and escape from this "chatterbox", and after hearing the "" of those who couldn't hear it, the roots of his ears were finally clean.
He Nai walked and walked, and suddenly thought: "Alas, where is this kid Yin Shiyi?" He turned his head and looked back, but he never saw Yin Shiyi's shadow.
"This guy, why did he disappear after a while?" He Nai was still thinking about it, when he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Oh no, someone is running away!" followed by a burst of chasing.
