Volume 7: Ma Mingfeng Xiao Xiao, the young man is raising his sword Chapter 530: It’s raining, go home and collect your clothes
Guo Baiyi sighed and shook his head. After a while, Fang wiped his tears, turned to the generals who were kneeling in the dark and said coldly: "Do you think kneeling like this is the duty of a minister? If you do this,
Even if it is unintentional or intentional, you want to force the lord, you know it clearly
Bai? Do you really think you can save the Second Young Master like this? In fact, your actions like this are putting the Second Young Master on the fire and can only make him more guilty! Confused! Ridiculous! Ignorant! Get up quickly, otherwise you two
If the young master is really dead, you will be the executioner holding the sword!"
His rebuke was like a storm pouring on these generals, and it even woke them up.
Xia Yuan stood up first and said in a low voice: "What Guo Jijiu said makes sense. Everyone, let's all get up. The lord has made his own decision. We don't want to do this anymore!"
He was the leader of the generals, and he was the first to express his attitude. Those generals no longer insisted. Xu Jinghu, Xu Baiming, Xia Yuanqian, Zhang Shiyou and others all stood up slowly and stood with their hands down.
Xiao Yuanche's expression softened a little, but he still closed his eyes and said nothing.
Only then did Guo Baiyi walk from him to the bottom of the steps, cupped his hands and said, "Eldest brother... Lord! I, Guo Baiyi, also want to say something for the second young master... I wonder if eldest brother is willing to listen.
....."
Xiao Jianshu never dreamed that Guo Baiyi would speak for him, so he suddenly raised his head and looked at him doubtfully.
Xiao Yuanche sighed and said, "Does Baiyi want to force me too?"
Guo Baiyi shook his head and said: "Of course Baiyi will not force the eldest brother... he just discusses the matter... The second young master made the decision without authorization and tried Su Ling privately. Although he is guilty, he does not deserve to die...
.”
"Haha... If I forgive him today, who will be able to follow my orders from Xiao Yuanche in the future?" Xiao Yuanche said with a helpless smile.
Guo Baiyi shook his head and said: "Actually, this matter can be considered as a private trial, but in fact, the second young master just had doubts in his heart. In order to dispel his doubts, he just said a few more words to Su Ling.
..... Moreover, the first of the two young masters is the son of the lord, and naturally has a noble status; the second is a general with five senses, who is also higher than Su Ling in terms of rank.
It’s as it should be…”
Xiao Yuanche's eyes moved and he said nothing.
Guo Baiyi coughed suddenly, and after a while he gasped again: "If the lord insists on killing the second young master because of this matter, wouldn't it be denying the esteemed status of the lord's heirs, and it would also make people think that the weight of the military commander Shi is not the lord's.
heart
Is he higher than the general with five senses? Therefore, Bai Yi dares to remonstrate. The second son will not be exempted from his crime, but he cannot be punished with death penalty. Just give him a few punishments... Lord, eldest brother... I don't know what Bai Yi thinks.
What do you say?"
As he spoke, Guo Baiyi took two steps closer to Xiao Yuanche and said in a very low voice: "Brother, all the generals in front of me are interceding for the second young master... If eldest brother will not forgive because of Su Ling...
...Once the eldest brother...how should Su Ling deal with himself and how to establish himself? Brother, think twice..."
"hiss--"
Xiao Yuanche took a deep breath, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, I understand what to do..."
Then he looked at Xiao Jianshu and said word by word: "Xiao Jianshu... let me ask you, how do you conclude that Su Ling was responsible for the fire on death row..."
Xiao Jianshu hurriedly held up his hands and said: "My child...I have heard some rumors...I, a sergeant in the Bacheng Army, have a fellow villager with Chen Yang, the death row prisoner. That Chen Yang is in the old Zhangcheng.
I raised a promiscuous woman named Dou Yunniang. Today, my soldiers saw Su Ling and Xu Youzhi coming out of the death row together. They went to Dou Yunniang's residence and met Chen Yang..."
Xiao Yuanche looked stern. In fact, he was very doubtful about whether Su Ling had done this. After hearing this, his suspicion became even greater.
"Oh? Where is Dou Yunniang?" Xiao Yuanche said in a deep voice.
"When the boy first heard about this, he was already close to Su Ling's residence. It was too late to report the incident to his father. After discussing with Wang...Wang Shun, he sent half of the guards to look for Dou Yunniang, and the boy went to look for Su.
Ling..." Xiao Jianshu said calmly.
Of course he didn't dare to say it
Wang Shun told him this, otherwise his father would have thought it was false without thinking based on his suspicious character.
"You are quite smart about this matter...have you caught that Dou Yunniang?" Xiao Yuanche said calmly.
"Never... But this is also the reason why the child has become more suspicious of Su Ling... The guards later reported that when they went, Dou Yunniang was no longer in the residence, but the fire in the kitchen was still warm.
..." Xiao Jianshu paused and looked at his father secretly.
But Xiao Yuanche's eyes were wandering, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Xiao Jianshu cleared her throat and encouraged herself before saying: "Father, please think about it, the fire in the stove is still warm, which means that Dou Yunniang has left not long ago... And when I am on my way to Su Ling, Dou Yunniang will leave soon."
Is there really such a coincidence?"
Xiao Yuanche pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "You mean, the news that you went to capture Dou Yunniang was leaked in advance. Since you were on the way to Su Ling's residence, the person who leaked the news is most likely Su Ling?"
"Father's clear lesson!..." Xiao Jianshu cupped his hands and said.
Xiao Yuanche's eyes turned and he thought for a long time before saying: "Your suspicion is not unreasonable..."
Xiao Jianshu then raised his hand again and said: "So, I immediately ordered my guards to go out of the city to hunt down Dou Yunniang. I believe that as long as she is caught, the death row fire will definitely come to light...".z.
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, he suddenly sneered and said, "Come together, you haven't caught anyone yet, right?"
Xiao Jianshu was embarrassed, nodded and whispered: "The guards haven't come back yet... They are probably still hunting... But the kid..."
Xiao Yuanche suddenly said: "But? Why don't you use this to stop my mouth? Not to mention whether Dou Yunniang can be caught is still unknown, but even if she is really captured, she is just a civilian girl, yours
I still know the method... How much can I trust her words? Besides, she is just a firework woman. Do you think the firework woman's words can be used to identify Su Ling? Isn't that ridiculous!"
"Father...I..." Xiao Jianshu had a look of shock and fear on his face.
"Not to mention these, let me ask you, did you take the Shen Zhengnan, or did Su Ling take the Shen Zhengnan?" Xiao Yuanche said one word at a time.
Xiao Jianshu's expression darkened and he whispered: "Of course it's Su Ling..."
"You also know!? Then Su Ling took Jian Zhengnan and burned the death row because he felt that Ling Chi's punishment was inappropriate? Is he mentally ill?" After Xiao Yuanche finished speaking, he looked at it with deep meaning. Towards Su Ling who was lying on the soft couch.
However, he saw that Su Ling was still sleeping soundly as usual, snoring continuously.
"Does Shen Zhengnan have an old relationship with Su Ling? Or is it Shen Zhengnan..."
Just as Xiao Yuanche said this, he suddenly heard a chaotic cry: "Dead! Dead! Burned to death! Can't live!"
Everyone was shocked and turned around to look for the source of the sound.
But suddenly he realized that the voice came from Su Ling, who was sleeping soundly on the soft couch.
"Huh?!" Xiao Yuanche was stunned for a while and looked at Guo Baiyi with a strange expression.
But he saw Guo Baiyi looking at him in astonishment.
"Su Ling! Now that you're awake, why are you pretending to be drunk and sleeping? You haven't seen my father yet!" Xiao Jianshu frowned and scolded.
But after he scolded him, he saw that Su Ling turned over again in a daze, still snoring loudly, and sleeping a little more soundly than before.
Xiao Jianshu was about to call him again, but was stopped by Xiao Yuanche.
Xiao Yuanche stood up slowly, walked to Su Ling's soft couch calmly, looked him up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Su Ling, what did you just say? Who burned to death?"
"Huhu...huhu..."
The only answer to Xiao Yuanche was Su Ling's snoring.
Xiao Yuanche was a little helpless. He was about to turn around and go back when he suddenly heard Su Ling's hesitating voice: "Of course it's Shen Zhengnan... he's burned to death... he's burned to death." Not even a hair is left!"
Xiao Yuanche suddenly turned around and saw
Su Ling still had her eyes closed, mumbling something inaudible. After talking for a while, Fang You's snoring remained the same.
Xiao Yuanche leaned over again and whispered: "Su Ling...how did you know that Shen Zhengnan was burned to death? Do you know who Shen Zhengnan was burned to death?"
When he asked, Guo Baiyi, Xiao Cangshu, Xiao Jianshu, and even everyone in the hall held their breaths and looked at the drunken Su Ling who was sleeping soundly on the soft couch.
After a while, Su Lingfang reacted and muttered: "No need to ask...I burned him, I burned him to death...!"
As he spoke, his voice became softer and softer, and he couldn't hear clearly what was said behind him, until he fell asleep soundly again.
But his small murmur was like thunder in everyone's ears.
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. Xiao Yuanche couldn't help but stumbled back a few steps, and was supported by Guo Baiyi.
Xiao Jianshu suddenly looked stern and shouted coldly: "You are so bold, Su Ling, now you have already made a move! Come on, take him down from left to right!"
"Here!"
The guards were also a little confused. Although they agreed, they were cowardly and did not move forward.
Xiao Cangshu looked helpless and hurriedly said: "Father, Su Ling has eaten too much wine and is not conscious. The truth of this statement is still open to question!"
Guo Baiyi also said: "Master, I think it would be better to wake him up and ask him carefully!"
Xiao Yuanche nodded and waved towards the guards, who stopped and did not move.
Xiao Yuanche smiled helplessly at Guo Baiyi and said, "Wake him up? This bastard is so drunk that he's so drunk, how can he wake him up?"
Guo Baiyi thought for a moment, then Fang smiled lightly and said, "It depends on my lord whether you are willing to part with it or not..."
Then he whispered in Xiao Yuanche's ear for a while.
Xiao Yuanche thought for a while and found that there was really no other way. Fang said in a deep voice: "Left and right, bring a big bucket of cold water!"
The guards on the left and right came out in response to the order. After a while, two guards came forward, one behind the other, carrying a large wooden barrel. The barrel was already as tall as half a man, and it was filled with cold water from the Zhang River.
Xiao Yuanche glanced at the barrel and said in a deep voice: "Walk this drunkard up for me!"
After giving the order, I saw four strong guards, each grabbing a corner of the barrel, shouting, and lifting the barrel.
"Crash-"
Cold water was poured on Su Ling's head and face.
It was poured until not even a drop was left.
Looking at Su Ling, she was completely submerged in the water, as if she had fallen into a small pool.
At this moment, Su Ling shuddered and suddenly turned over and sat up.
Wiping the cold water stains on his face, he yelled without thinking: "It's raining! Go home and collect your clothes!..."
