Chapter 86: Madam Jiang
On the second day, five thousand Dabei Jin rode into the city and surrounded all the residences of Wang Dong Erjia.
The county magistrate and the chief registrar led a group of officers and soldiers to the gate of Jiang's house. They happened to see Ma Dajiao, who was dozing with his back against a stone lion. On one side stood a large eagle-gold dragon sword with blood stains on it.
"Wait a minute! Several county officials didn't come last night. It's better not to go in today!"
Ma came to the gate with his big feet and stamped his right foot high on the ground, making the ground tremble. "Many people have died. If you want to discuss the Dharma, I can't understand the Dharma today."
"Oh, you!" The chief clerk walked out and said kindly: "You don't know something. We only learned about it this morning. Didn't everyone from all the families come out to find the assassin yesterday?
Even the government office I'm waiting for is blocked by people who don't know who the client is!"
The county magistrate hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Ma Dajiao, others are afraid of you, but I am not! Don't think that the warriors on the fifth floor are lawless. I want to see the prince, so get out of the way!"
"So, you won't hold me accountable for killing people?" Ma Dajiao asked tentatively. He smacked his lips, picked up the big knife standing on the ground, and whispered again: "To be honest, I must have killed two or three of the guests.
That’s it, they came to the hospital to rob and insult women, so I had to take action.”
This was said lightly, but what kind of scene was there for two or three hundred people? Everyone's necks shrank. You must know that there were only about a hundred people in the entire government office.
"No investigation, no investigation," the county magistrate waved his hand and said in an anxious tone, "If it is as you said, they deserve it. However, there is something I want to ask you?"
The county magistrate shrank his neck, looked around with squinting eyes, and said anxiously: "Tell me the truth, was it the Dong and Wang families who attacked the Jiang family yesterday? Was the prince assassinated? Don't hide it from me. Those five thousand Dabei Jin cavalry
The land surrounding Wang and Dong's family is watertight."
Ma Dajiao grinned, his smile was horrifying, "It's true that they assassinated Lu Xing. The Dong family's maid and the Wang family's fifth-floor warrior were both arrested. There was also a Gu cultivator who was dead. I don't know where he was.
Family people.”
The unusual movement at the door was informed by the diners, who hurriedly ran into the lobby, where Jiang Zhen was comforting the surviving members of the Jiang family.
"Sir, Sir Jiang, the people from the county government are here, and they are here at the door!" The doorman panted.
At this moment, there was a lot of crying in the hall, women were holding their children, and there were less than ten men in the hall, all of whom had tears streaming down their faces.
"Who asked you to come in? Who asked you to come in?" Jiang Zhen held an iron sword in his hand and glared at the intruders. He took a step forward and puffed out his thick chest.
The guest was stunned and said tremblingly: "Sir, sir, they are the county magistrate and the chief registrar of the government office. They were stopped by Mr. Ma."
Jiang Zhen acted as if he didn't hear anything and shouted angrily: "Who let you in!"
Angry to the extreme, he swung his iron sword and blood overflowed, covering Jiang Zhen's body, and there was another exclamation in front of the hall.
The doorman fell down helplessly and looked at Jiang Zhen in disbelief, but was pushed away by Jiang Zhen ruthlessly.
"Why are you crying? If you hadn't been crying and naked, could I have killed him?"
"Humph," the speaker was Jiang Zhen's eldest lady. She looked at Jiang Zhen angrily and cried: "Then you mean that everyone will drown themselves in the river? Those of us who came out to see you still have the courage.
, those women who have been really scorned, they all hide in the house without showing their faces, what do you mean, Jiang Zhen, are you going to force everyone to death!"
"Also, Jiang Zhen, I tell you that Xiao Rong is still unconscious. You and I are doing this. Where were you when Xiao Rong fought against the enemy? As the mainstay of the family, what were you doing?
You are being someone else's dog!" Mrs. Jiang had a very hot temper and was a famous martyr from all over the country.
"You!" Jiang Zhen pointed at Mrs. Jiang with his hand, his eyes trembling, and he cursed after a while: "What a woman's kindness, so stupid! Although one day's humiliation is embarrassing, I, Jiang Zhen, have indeed lost my face. But I
Yesterday's actions at least ensure that when Xuejin City liquidates Pinghe County, the women of my Jiang family will not be forced into prostitution, and the men of the Jiang family will at least die fighting, which is an honor, and they will not be reduced to slaves!"
The men in the hall bowed their heads and remained silent, while the women continued to cry and cry. Even though they understood Jiang Zhen's words, those who heard the tragic situation of the Jiang family shed tears and those who saw it sighed.
Mrs. Jiang lowered her head and sighed: "Hey——"
"I won't argue with you. No matter what I say, it's useless. My nephew is dead. My third uncle, sixth uncle, and the patriarch Jiang Cide were also stabbed several times. Their deaths are unknown at the moment."
"Grandpa couldn't bear to see his little niece being humiliated last night. She fought with the enemy with a cane and was beaten to death by them. What dignity do you have, Jiang Zhen? What qualifications do you have to see those tablets in the mourning hall?"
"This is our room, but the other rooms are dead, humiliated and humiliated. Just three girls were fished out of the well. They were all at the age of getting married and could have found a good husband.
They have been in love for a lifetime, but they don’t understand anything, they don’t understand anything!”
Jiang Zhen trembled and let out a long sigh. His hair, which was already gray, looked even older now, "Well, if you hate me, then hate me, Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen is incompetent, and I feel ashamed of my ancestors and future generations."
"Huh, are you satisfied?" Jiang Zhen left with a puff of sleeves and a hunched back.
"Oh, what a sin you have done——" Mrs. Jiang fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
When Jiang Zhen came to the door, the people from the county government had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Jiang Zhen come out, they were all overjoyed.
"Master Sheriff, are you okay?" The county magistrate stepped forward with a smile, supported Jiang Zhen's arm, and murmured as he walked: "I tell you, Jin Heng is dead, he is so bold, no one else can
Dare to kill, Jin Heng is the eldest son of the Jin family in the neighboring county."
"Humph, I need you to support me!" Jiang Zhen threw away the county magistrate's hand and said angrily: "I didn't see you yesterday. I tell you the truth, the prince was assassinated. If the whole family of the Jiang family hadn't been united, the prince would have been in danger.
.”
"At that time, it will not be 5,000 Beijin cavalry surrounding Wang and Dong's family, but the entire Pinghe City will be besieged by the army, and no one can escape!"
As soon as these words came out, the county magistrate froze on the spot. He touched his forehead and was covered with cold sweat.
The chief clerk wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly stepped forward to help Jiang Zhen and said: "Master Sheriff, please calm down. Think about it, Jin Heng is dead. We were really blocked yesterday. If we insist on going out today,
I won’t see you anymore.”
"Sir, calm down, calm down. The key question is, where is the prince?"
Jiang Zhen said coldly: "The prince has returned to his mansion, you go ahead. I am not as skilled as you in the art of flattery afterward."
The three of them quarreled, but the group finally moved. More than a hundred people headed towards the small courtyard where Lu Xing was staying, with only Ma Dajiao still guarding the gate.
More than a hundred people came to the small courtyard. There were corpses along the street. A plate jumped down from the eaves. They clasped their fists and said: "The county magistrate, the chief registrar, and the county magistrate Jiang. The prince only asked you three to go see him."
The three of them looked at each other and silently followed Dian Zi's footsteps. They came to the end of a bluestone street and finally saw Lu Xing's back.
"The guilty minister has met the crown prince!" The three of them bowed and saluted.
"Okay, the courtesy is empty." Lu Xing turned around and said calmly.
He walked up to the three of them, wiped off the dust on Jiang Zhenpai's shoulders, and straightened his collar. No one dared to speak, but only dared to look sideways and secretly observe Lu Xing's expression.
"The Jiang family has made the right decision. As for you two, can you tell yourself?"
"The guilty minister deserves to die!" The county magistrate and the chief registrar knelt down quickly and shouted: "The guilty minister failed to govern Pinghe City well. This is the guilty minister's big fault. The guilty minister put the prince into danger, and it is a capital crime."
"As usual, I can replace you two, and then replace the entire government office," Lu Xing took a step back, looked at the faces of the county magistrate and the chief registrar, and said calmly: "But I don't want to go to this trouble.
I’ll give you a chance to tell you how to deal with the Wang and Dong families.”
The county magistrate swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "According to the laws of Xuejin City, those who assassinate the crown prince will be punished as treason. The main lineage of the evil lineage will all be beheaded, and the men of the side lineage will be made into slaves and the women will be made into prostitutes. A total of
It takes thirty years to be rehabilitated and become an ordinary person."
When the chief clerk saw that the county magistrate had finished speaking fluently, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lu Xing nodded and said, "So, does Dong Xiangxue have to be beheaded? She blocked the knife for me. Wouldn't it be unfair if I killed her?"
After these two questions, not to mention that the county magistrate and the chief registrar didn't know how to answer, Jiang Zhen's face was the first to turn pale.
"Your Majesty, you can't be soft-hearted. You can't keep this girl," Jiang Zhen knelt down on the ground with a bang, crying: "If this girl stays, the Dong family will have a heir. This debt will not be placed on the Crown Prince, but on the contrary.
It will be blamed on my Jiang family, and our Jiang family will never have peace!"
The chief clerk secretly observed Lu Xing's face, gritted his teeth secretly, and knelt down to persuade: "This girl must stay. But the rest of the Dong family will die! This move will not only show the kindness and generosity of the prince, but also give everyone in the north
The family warned her. What’s more, she’s just a weak woman. Sir Jiang has the ability to save her, so why should he not be able to accommodate a woman.”
"You!" Jiang Zhen glared angrily, the grief and anger in his eyes even greater. He fell at Lu Xing's feet and cried: "How many people have died in the Jiang family, please forgive me..."
The chief clerk snorted coldly, "Could it be that your Excellency wants to take credit for yourself and force the prince?"
"That's enough!" Lu Xing interrupted the argument between the two and shouted: "Dong Xiangxue wanted to kill her, but she saved me after all. I gave her a poison bar, which is a decent way to die."
Lu Xing knew very well that if Dong Xiangxue was alive, the prestige he wanted to establish would collapse. Keeping Dong Xiangxue would be like a thorn in the hearts of people from these aristocratic families, so Dong Xiangxue must die, at least openly.
Going to death.
The so-called drinking of poisonous wine was Lu Xing's trick. In order to achieve the goal of establishing his authority, Dong Xiangxue wanted to die, but Lu Xing hoped in his heart that she would live.
What's more, for the Jiang family, the scene last night is still in front of them. Even if Jiang Zhen didn't say anything, he would not be able to get over the hurdle in his heart. The wrong things done by Dong Kuan and Wang Taihe made nearly a thousand people in the Dong and Wang families...
