Chapter 52: The Aftermath
The next day's trial did not go to the cloud. First, his injuries were too serious, and he stood in the hall for an hour yesterday, but the wounds were all ruptured, and Xiaoxiaoda's heartache forced him not to get out of bed today. The second is that the evidence is too complete, even if he gives Lao Hu Tianda the courage to cheat, he will not dare to cheat for personal gain, otherwise the angry bitter master will take away his one-third of an acre.
The sky has no doubts. But this case is estimated to end there, because there are too many people involved. Last night, the threshold of Lord Hu's house had to be stepped on by half an inch, and it was estimated in the lobby today that he would have to be slaughtered by a quick knife without even having a chance to appeal for himself. As for the other issues, there should be no follow-up.
Sure enough, before lunch, Lao Lu came to visit. As soon as they met, Lao Lu gave a thumbs up: "Young hero!
Yun smiled and asked, "My brother is so free to come and see me! Now the yamen should make a pot of porridge." ”
"How come!" Lao Lu pouted: "The evidence is conclusive, the wicked are in the law, the old men are wise and powerful, and the people are very happy!"
Yun saw that he couldn't help but tease: "It's so simple?"
Hehe, Lao Lu smiled bitterly: "It's not easy to think about this thing simply? Don't look at the courage and strategy you have in the Ganye Temple to kill the Quartet, but when it comes to conspiracy and trickery, you are not as good as those old men who don't do anything all day long and think about how to make money and the whole person." ”
"Empty "committed suicide" in the cell last night, and there was no chance to go to court at all. His subordinates had also been warned a long time ago, and they didn't say a word about anything other than the evidence, and now the dead and dead were all dealt with in the morning. ”
Although Yun Yun had already guessed that Sora would die quickly, he didn't expect to be killed that night. The efficiency of those people is really not ordinarily high.
"What about the others?" asked Yun.
"What if everyone is dead?"
"Those sufferers are converted?"
"Of course not! There was a commotion. There were a few girls who were insulted and had a really strong temperament, took out a knife, and committed suicide in court. ”
"Bloodstained court!"
"The old patriarch of the Liu clan also came, his granddaughter disappeared two months ago, and her name was found in the account books, but there was no one alive or dead. ”
Later, according to the memories of the rescued girl, she said that she may have been given to a big man as a slave. ”
"That old man Liu is not good at stubble, how high he jumps, and he resolutely asks to be investigated to the end. Later, when I saw that Master Hu had done something hastily, he was so angry that he even threw out the crutch and smashed it on the adult's head. Lord Hu didn't dare to let it go, firstly, it was indeed a loss, and secondly, everyone knew that the Liu family was hugely powerful. Not counting the officials who have been released, there are as many as four or five current Beijing officials!"
However, Master Hu was determined to end the case. Those sufferers saw that there was no way, and most of them could only retreat to the next best thing, forcing the adults to pay the dirty money as compensation. Each of the abducted girls received a compensation of 500 taels, and then they retreated. ”
"But there are also some people who are not bad for money, and they still don't give up, it seems that adults will have a headache for a while!"
"It's not easy for him to say, he will do whatever he wants, and if things are not handled well, the two sides are not people. In case things go wrong in the end, it will be pushed out of the top cylinder. ”
"Let's not talk about that unlucky bastard, let's talk about you, brother. Now you are a big hero in our three states and 12 counties! Many people are crying and shouting to thank you! There are many people who want to be cattle and horses and promise each other! However, you played beautifully, and you never mentioned the affair with the officials, and the evidence you sent did not have relevant materials. By the way, are those things still in your hands?"
Hehe, "Master Hu asked you to ask, right?" Yun smiled and asked, "He still doesn't feel at ease!"
"Well, he really means that, and I don't know the relationship between our brothers. It's also a bit cryptic, let me test your tone. But if you really want to be here, brother, I'll give you a suggestion. Either hand it in right away, or you can't say it at all. Then find someone to keep it for you, and maybe you can save your life in the future! Do you know? If it weren't for the fact that things were still on the cusp now, and you were a hero who attracted the attention of all people, someone would have come to the door a long time ago. ”
Yun snorted disdainfully: "What can I do if I find me? Where did I come from, and who knows where I came from? The reason why I stayed in the dart game was because my injuries had not healed, and when I recovered from my injuries and slapped my ass and left, where would the sea of people look for me? Even my name was said by myself, but there are records to check?"
"Actually, I don't even know who I really am!" Yun added silently in his heart.
"Well, that's true. When I go back, I'll tell Master Hu that you destroyed all of them and didn't leave any of them. ”
"Whatever!" Yun nodded indifferently.
Seeing that the clouds were a little tired, Lao Lu got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said: "By the way, the county government said that you have made a meritorious contribution to solving the case, and will reward you with 1,000 taels of silver." When you're better, remember to pick it up. ”
Yun nodded in agreement and then asked, "What do you say about Master Fang's matter?"
Lao Lu was stunned: "Isn't Lao Fang's matter already over?"
"I've been in prison for so long, and I've been punished twice more?" Yun Yun couldn't help frowning and asked.
"What can that be?" Lao Lu said disdainfully: "There are many unjust, false and wrongful cases in various yamen every year! I don't know how many people die in vain! If he can pick up a life, even if he is lucky! According to the wishes of the adults, I still want him to send a plaque hanging high in the mirror and something!"
"Give the silver that rewarded me to the Dart Master. Don't say what I gave, just say it's the compensation of the yamen. ”
Lao Lu was slightly stunned, and then nodded and agreed: "Cheng, do what you want." Then he took a deep look at Yun Yun and said sincerely: "My brother is affectionate and righteous, my old Lu admires! If you need help one day, you can come to me." As long as I can, I will never shirk!" he sighed.
In the days that followed, Yun refused those polite visits, and stayed quietly in the dart game to recuperate without leaving home. When you have nothing to do, you can chat with Xiaoxiao, listen to the old shopkeeper tell you interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, or accompany Fang Dart to drink some wine and listen to him complain.
Two months later, the super-resilient cloud was largely healed. In the past two months, the major states and counties have not been quiet. The messengers in the yamen took the empty account books and seized some green buildings, and also rescued some abducted girls. Of course, those with backgrounds just paid a fine and still opened their doors to welcome customers. And the aftermath of the empty case has also slowly precipitated under the deliberate suppression of some well-intentioned people.
On this day, Yun and Xiao Xiao returned to Ganye Temple to visit the monks who had fought side by side with them.
At this time, the Ganye Temple has lost its former glory, and the ban was lifted again after being closed for more than half a month, but there are basically no pilgrims in the temple.
Now the person in charge of the temple is Kong Ming, the younger brother of the monk Kongjing. He personally received Yun and Tiny. First of all, I remembered my master and brother, as well as the monks who died in the confrontation with the empty gang. Then they expressed their deep gratitude to the cloud for what they have done for them. It can be seen that the monks are still in a good mood after getting rid of the empty shadow. Although the yamen confiscated all the belongings in the temple and allowed them to return to their previous hard days, and on the day the ban was lifted, the temple was attacked by the people who had been fooled by the empty gang. Many monks were beaten, and even the main hall was almost burned. But every monk still had a peaceful smile on his face, and the joy that came from the heart came from four words - a clear conscience!
During a conversation with Kong Ming, Yun inadvertently gets an important piece of information. The monk who used to place an order in the temple, later appointed others to expand the temple, and finally recommended the empty to participate in the management, and as a result, he did so many things that hurt the heavens and harmed the monk's name Hongyun.
It turned out to be him! The former outcast of Shaolin, the lackey of the Sky Wolf Gang, killed Uncle Li and all the left-behind brothers of the Daan Chamber of Commerce, and chased and killed the clouds in the deep mountains without success, but instead went to kill the boss of the Red Cloud Sect who killed innocent mountain people. He inadvertently ruined his property and cut off his wealth. Then let's collect some interest first! One day I will come to the door to completely eradicate this cancer!
Before leaving, Yun went to the Buddha hall alone and hid the evidence of the empty bribery of the officials under the Buddha statue. Now Yun really doesn't have the ability to set things right, but one day he will use these talismans to pull down those corrupt officials and make them pay the price they deserve!
The day after returning to the dart game, Yun and Xiao Xiaolai bid farewell to the old shopkeeper. The short and strong old man was not crushed by the injury and the disability of his left eye, and he was still arrogant enough to force Yun Yun to drink three bowls of farewell wine before letting him go. And solemnly promised to the cloud that Shun'an Dart Bureau is his and Xiaoxiao's eternal home!
Fang Dart's injuries have been recurring in the past two days, and he is still on bed rest. Yun didn't bother him, but just told the old shopkeeper to take him to say goodbye to the square dart.
But when Yun and Xiaoxiao walked out of more than ten miles, Fang Dart Head still caught up with them with the support of the two dart guys. After traveling such a long way, he was already weak and seriously injured, and he almost collapsed, but he still managed to hold the hand of the cloud tightly with trembling hands. After a while, two words were spoken: "Thank you!"
Turning the foot of the mountain, the clouds could still be seen, and the old man who was shivering in the cold wind was still waving his hand to them.
