When the official learned that Zhu Zhi had such a character, he severely punished him and ordered him to be exiled thousands of miles away to serve as a warning to others.
After the news reached the ears of Zhu Ji's mother, she cried out that she had been wronged and took her daughter-in-law Zhu He directly to the government office to demand justice.
However, Hu Dan used money again. Under the obstruction of the government officials, the mother and daughter could not see the official. The old mother, who had been sick for a long time, died.
Hu Dan then sent a message to Hu Zhi in prison, and learned that he had caused his mother to die because of his drunkenness. In a moment of shame and anger, he hanged himself in prison with a rope braided from his clothes.
Zhu Ji finally came back, but not as an officer, but as a prisoner. Hu Dan, who was still a little scared at first, was ecstatic when he learned about it, so he came to Zhu Ji's house and asked Zhu Ji
Write a letter of divorce to Mr. Zhu He, so that he will help him bury his mother and Zhu Zhi properly.
With the shackles on his body and his former loyalty long gone, Zhu Ji finally gave in to reality and wanted to sign the divorce letter.
It's a long journey, and there is no chance to return to Bianliang, let alone take care of his wife. Even so, why bother her. It is said that a man will not shed tears easily, and after a drop of tear slipped from the corner of his eye, Zhu Ji started writing.
"Damn, isn't this similar to what Captain Gao designed to frame Coach Lin?" Listening to this, Su Shi sighed, could it be that after hearing about this incident, Captain Gao imitated Lin Chong and framed him?
While Su Shi was thinking about it, Zhu Ji over there, regardless of Zhu He's pleading, had already written a cross on the divorce letter and put his own fingerprint on it.
"Hahaha, okay, he who knows the time and things is a hero." Hu Dan looked overjoyed when he saw this scene.
He wanted to get the Zhu He family, but without this letter of divorce, he did not dare to do anything. Today's legal system in the Song Dynasty is quite strict. But with this letter, he can do whatever he wants.
"Come here, find a straw mat and bury the person." Hu Dan pinched his nose and looked at the two corpses that had been stinking for too long, and waved his hand in disgust.
"Oh, Madam He, why are you doing this? Now that you are free, even if Shopkeeper Hu likes you so much, wouldn't it be better if you agreed to wear gold and silver?" On the other side, inside
Zheng Zhu Bei's voice also came over.
It turned out that just now, Zhu He saw the official sign the divorce letter and signed a bond. He felt hopeless and wanted to hit the millstone in the courtyard, but was stopped by Zhu Bei, who had sharp eyes and quick hands.
"What Li Zheng said is right. Why should the young lady find a short life for such a guilty person? The beauty of life is just the beginning. Come on, hurry up and invite the bearer. Today I will marry the young lady.
Hahaha."
Hu Dan's triumphant laughter sounded, but Zhu Ji, who was shackled and shackled, had already turned around while bowing deeply to the corpses of his mother and brother.
He had no control over what happened next, so he might as well just stay out of sight.
At this time, his heart was burning, and he even wanted to break the shackles and kill Hu Dan and Li Zheng Zhu Bei.
How can these little shackles really trap him?
But after thinking about it, Zhu Ji still didn't do it. Everything was just for He Li. If she did this, where would she go? At least she can follow Hu Dan now, which is far better than living a miserable life with herself.
A lot.
At this moment, Zhu Ji explained the concept of love very well, that is, as long as the other person is living well, it doesn't matter how wronged he is.
Under the supervision of two government officials, Zhu Ji left. At this time, the sun was about to set, and the red sunset shone on his body, stretching his back very long.
"Master." Lou Yang saw this scene and leaned forward to ask for instructions softly.
Lou Yang knew that Su Shi came here just to see Zhu Ji, but now that this person has committed a serious crime and is no longer a useful person, the young master should give up.
"Let's go first." Su Shi nodded lightly, turned back thoughtfully and glanced at Hu Dan, who was laughing wildly at the struggling Zhu He in the courtyard, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
In this matter, Hu Dan designed a trap, but Zhu Zhi was unprepared, trusted others, and was convicted and imprisoned.
Even if Bao Heizi is called, the verdict will not be reversed.
The matter has reached this point, even if Lian Laomu and Zhu Zhi are dead, and there is no evidence of their deaths, it is impossible to redefine the matter through legal procedures.
But now that Su Shi is here, even if it's not to accept Zhu Ji, a good general, he still wants to seek justice from him. It's not for anything else, just because he wants to live up to his own conscience.
When you see an injustice on the road, roar and take action when it's time to take action!
Su Shi's carriage quickly disappeared into the dusk. But if you look carefully, you will find that the dragon and tiger brothers who were following the carriage have long since disappeared.
...
Cemetery.
There is a deserted forest ten miles away from the south gate of Bianliang City.
After many common people died, due to their limited abilities, they would be buried here. Over time, the name "Cemetery Forest" came into being.
At this time, Zhu Ji was standing nearby, but the shackles on his body had long been removed, and even the shackles had been opened, and he was standing in front of a newly piled grave.
Two hours ago, Zhu Ji, who was resting under a big tree next to the official road, suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps. Then he suddenly opened his eyes and saw the two people who were originally responsible for seeing him off.
The famous yamen servant had already tilted his head and fell next to the big tree.
"Don't be nervous. They just fainted. They will wake up naturally after twelve hours. Now, I would like to trouble you to come with me. Someone wants to see you. Of course, you don't have to follow me, but so
You won't be able to see the graves of your mother and brother."
The person who came was dressed in black. After saying a few words coldly, he turned around and left, leaving a bunch of keys and throwing them at Zhu Ji's feet.
"Who are you?" Zhu Ji used the key to unlock the shackles on his body. After moving his hands and feet, Zhu Ji quickly followed, but at the same time he did not forget to ask.
The man in black didn't answer anything, he just ran ahead. His speed was so fast that even Zhu Ji had to use all his strength to keep up.
The two people soon came to a newly dug huge pit in the cemetery. At this time, four men in black were lowering two good coffins into the pit. After seeing the men in black appear, the four people
Then he stopped what he was doing and looked back.
"You have nothing to do here, retreat." After the man in black waved his hand, the four men quickly disappeared into the night without saying a word.
When there were only two people left, the man in black looked at Zhu Ji and said: "You are in good physical condition. You haven't eaten well these days, but you can still keep up with my speed, which proves that the young master has not misjudged the person. Now what are you doing?"
Don’t ask, there is some food here, you can fill your stomach first.”
He reached out and took a paper bag that was still warm, and a corner of a large pig's trotter was already exposed inside.
Without saying a word, Zhu Ji started to bite. At this time, he had nothing to lose. Even so, he had nothing to guard against.
In just a moment, all the pig trotters were wiped out. The man in black spoke again: "This is the new coffin that the young master prepared for your mother and brother. There are their remains. I don't need to tell you what to do next."
Right. By the way, if you need help, just let me know."
As soon as he finished speaking, a shovel in the hand of the man in black was thrown at Zhu Ji's feet.
Instead of picking up the shovel, he walked towards the two straw mats that were still smelling. With a plop, Zhu Ji knelt down on the ground.
The bodies of his mother and brother were carefully placed in the coffin by Zhu Ji. Then he did not use the men in black to help, but used all his strength to close the coffin lid. Finally, he held the soil and slowly covered it into the pit.
go.
During this process, the man in black kept watching, until he finally saw that Zhu Ji's hands were bleeding because he was digging the soil too hard, he kicked the shovel at Zhu Ji's feet and said
: "The young master wants to save you because he likes you as a person. Your hands will still serve the young master in the future, instead of hurting him now and making him useless."
Hearing the cold words in Zhu Ji's ears, he first gave up his whole body, then slowly picked up the shovel and continued to cover the surrounding soil on the coffin.
Two new graves soon stood here. The man in black took out some paper money that he had prepared long ago and said, "Let's burn some money for them. In this life, I will worry about money. I hope I won't have to worry about lack of money in the future."
Worried."
After finishing speaking, the man in black reached out and patted the shoulder of Zhu Ji who was kneeling on the ground and said: "Conditions are limited, so we can't set up a memorial tablet. Please understand."
Zhu Ji nodded heavily, he was very grateful that things had come to this.
He didn't know who the young master he had never met was, but he knew that this man must have taken a fancy to him. Even so, so what if he worked for him? He was not a man who liked to owe others favors.
...
Night, Bianliang City.
Right now, Zhu Bei is drinking a small drink in the side room.
This time, helping Wu Dan turned out to be a good thing, and the benefit was a hundred dollars, enough to eat and drink for a while.
"I heard that there is a very strong wine called Shaodaozi. I really don't know when I can taste it." After taking a sip of the wine, Zhu Bei said this with a sigh.
"Come on, this wish should be fulfilled before you leave."
"Really? That's great. Wait, who?" Zhu Bei agreed habitually, then he remembered that he was in his own room or late at night. Who was talking to him? Could it be a ghost?
?
When he thought of ghosts, he couldn't help but picture the appearance of Zhu Zhi's mother and son when they died. Zhu Bei tensed up and looked around, "Who? Who is talking?"
"It seems that you are really afraid of ghosts. You must have done too many bad things. It doesn't matter. You will become a ghost in the future, so there is no need to be afraid."
This was the sound Zhu Bei heard before he fell into coma, and then his eyes fell into darkness.
