Volume 1 Battle in the Sand Garden Chapter 37 Defiled and Imprisoned
Qin Zhong rushed to the second floor with anger, looking for trouble with Wu Chengzu. Coincidentally, Wu Chengzu waited for a long time and Qin Zhong didn't arrive. He opened the door of the private room and was about to go downstairs to take a look. When he looked up, he saw Qin Zhong's face.
With an evil spirit, he stopped at the entrance of the stairs and looked around. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say hello, Qin Zhong looked over with cold eyes.
"Master, I was just looking for you." When he saw Wu Chengzu, Qin Chong became furious, strode over, grabbed Wu Chengzu's collar, and lifted his feet off the ground like a chicken.
"Brother Qin, Brother Qin." Wu Chengzu was startled, grabbed Qin Zhong's arm, and shouted loudly.
"Who is your brother? I'm looking for a fight." Qin Zhong was furious, his eyes widened, and he punched him.
"Stop." Wu Chengzu was not a coward. When he saw the iron fist being swung, he screamed. "Wu, how did he offend you? I don't care about the infringement. If you hit me like this, you can't do it."
"Can't do it?" Qin Chong snorted coldly and stared at Wu Chengzu.
The fist did not hit, but the overbearing punch made Wu Chengzu's eyelids jump. Seeing that Qin Zhong was steady, Wu Chengzu secretly let out a breath and felt as if he had escaped from death. Who knows Qin Zhong's supernatural power?
If he was really punched, would he still be able to see his face? Even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to punch him back.
"I don't know what Wu did to make Master Qin so angry?"
"Do you know A'e is dead?" Qin Chong asked coldly.
"Sigh." Wu Chengzu finally understood where Qin Chong's anger came from. "I've heard about it."
"Is it possible that A'e is dead and you still want to celebrate with wine?"
"It's unfair, it's unfair." Wu Chengzu burst into tears and continued to accuse him. "In the past few days, rumors have been flying in the city, which has damaged Master Qin's reputation. Wu invited you here because he wants to make plans with you."
"That's also because of you." Qin Zhong said, loosening his hand and letting go of Wu Chengzu.
"What Master Qin said is right." Wu Chengzu sighed and said, "I heard that A'e threw herself into the well, and Wu was also upset. I didn't expect that A'e's temperament would be so strong."
"Humph." Qin Zhong's face was solemn, but he didn't have another attack.
Although Wu Chengzu was the introduction, he is indeed not to blame. In this era, it was generally believed that wives and concubines were the private property of the man, and it was not against the royal law to give them away to pay off debts. Song Xingtong stipulated that no good family should be bought or sold. However, voluntary selling of one's body was not illegal.
Constraint. The Gao family sent A'e to pay off the debt, and Wu Chengzu was willing to accept it, which was consensual.
At the beginning, if Qin Chong had robbed A'e forcefully, he would have violated the law. Because of his understanding, Qin Chong blocked the road in the street and won a bet with Wu Chengzu and won A'e. Gambling was not allowed in the dynasty, and gambling debts were naturally legal.
The most assholes are the Gao family. First, the Gao family destroyed their conscience and used their sister-in-law to pay off their debts; later, the Gao family thought that A'e was embarrassed, so they must have been harsh in every possible way and forced the innocent A'e to death. However, all the actions of the Gao family are in this world.
The bastard's worldly behavior, although he is criticized by the people for being unkind, does not break the law.
After searching around, everyone was right, except A'e who died in vain.
"Damn it." Qin Chong was so depressed that he couldn't help but slapped his palm on the railing.
With a "click", the railing, which was as wide as his hand and half an inch thick, was snapped by Qin Zhong with a palm.
Wu Chengzu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly invited Qin Chong into the house with a smile. He thought to himself, if such a slap had just been slapped on his face, his nose and eyes would have been moved. It would not be a big deal if he broke the railing, but he would just have to pay for it.
There were two other people in the room, both of whom were invited by Wu Chengzu to accompany them. One of them was named Wang Gui. He was in his thirties, fair and fat, and his face was full of smiles before he opened his mouth. He ran a salt shop, but it was not a big business.
He is a steward of a salt shop under a salt merchant. However, he is a special steward because he owns the shop.
A few days ago, the Qiu family was raided for committing crimes and all the salt shops were closed down, including Wang Gui. Fortunately, the property is his own, and the property deeds and land deeds are all there. After a while, they can be reopened.
The other man was skinny, with a deer-like head and rat eyes, and at first glance he did not look like a good person.
This person's surname is Qian, he is the second in business in his family, and he is known as Qian Laoer. Qian Laoer is a dental shop broker. He travels all over the street and relies on his mouth to eat. The east family has the upper hand and the west family has the shortcomings. There is nothing he doesn't know. Press
Later generations said that Qian Laoer was a person on the road, walking between black and white, neither getting close to him nor offending him.
Seeing him, Qin Zhong remembered a saying from later generations: Cars, boats, shops, feet and teeth, even if they are not guilty, they should be killed.
Qin Chonggong cupped his hands as a greeting and sat down on the main seat without saying a word.
"I am deeply honored that the three Qin brothers are here. It would be disrespectful to prepare a small amount of wine." Wu Chengzu picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. Since Qin Zhong sat down, he didn't do it for himself. He picked up the wine glass.
The wine glass in front of him was also drank down in one gulp. When Wu Chengzu saw this, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay."
"Why are you inviting me here today? Please tell me clearly." Qin Zhong said.
"That's right." Wu Chengzu served Qin Chongman wine, considered it for a while, and said, "In the past few days, rumors have been spreading in the city, all targeting the three Qin brothers. Many people don't know the truth, so they followed the rumors."
Qin Zhong looked unkind, stared at Wu Chengzu, and listened to what he said.
"I know a lot about A'e's incident, so I want to find out the rumors." Wu Chengzu was a witness, so he knew the situation clearly. The rumors suddenly broke out within a day or two due to A'e's death.
This surprised Wu Chengzu. He sensitively felt that someone was pushing for this.
Qin Chong is one of the few people he admires, how can he allow others to defile him? Therefore, he found Qian Lao'er and wanted to find out. Sure enough, Qian Lao'er lived up to his trust and quickly found out the clues. Someone was tricking him.
With money, he bought a bunch of thugs in Dongcheng and spread rumors everywhere. He had only one purpose, to ruin Qin Chong's reputation.
The rhetoric weaved is very deceptive. Rich dudes robbed women in the street. The women could not bear the humiliation and threw themselves into a well. True and false are mixed in. It confuses the public and makes it difficult to distinguish the true from the false. From ancient times to the present, the common people
He was particularly interested in stories about rich families bullying poor families. He scolded Qin Chong and ran around telling each other.
Nowadays, the rumors are getting more and more intense, and no one in Dali County knows about it.
Some scholars were indignant and wrote to the Yamen with fierce words, requesting that the villain Qin Chong be severely punished.
Qin Chong was dumbfounded. This is what happened to a man sitting at home, and disaster came from the sky. Unexpectedly, the rumors spread so fast, and in just a few days, it caused an uproar. Qin Chong's reputation was ruined, and everyone shouted for beatings.
"Damn it, who did I offend?" Qin Chong gritted his teeth, and a stream of evil fire rushed straight to the top door.
"That man was very cautious and did not reveal his secrets." Qian Laoer said.
Qin Zhong was not in the mood to drink. After understanding the current situation, he stood up and left. San Bao'er outside the door had not been idle for a long time. He asked around and his hands were trembling with anger. When he saw Qin Zhong coming out of the private room, his face was gloomy.
His eyes were dripping with water. He quickly came forward and said, "Master, let's go home?"
"Go home? Qin Chong, you can't go back." Someone behind San Bao'er shouted loudly.
After passing the city gate and gambling on arrows, Qin Chong was considered a celebrity in Dali, and there were few people who didn't know him. Hearing someone shouting for Qin Chong, people in the restaurant immediately came over. Three people in official attire
The yamen servant, swinging a thin iron chain in his hand, slowly climbed up the steps step by step, approaching Qin Zhong with eager eyes.
"What do you mean by this?" Qin Zhong frowned and asked.
"I'm here to get you." One of them swung the chain and said, "Come with us." As he said that, the chain in his hand was locked towards Qin Zhongsuo. When the other two saw this, they rushed forward and raised their hands to grab it.
Xiang Qin's arm.
The three of them have been working together all year round and have a tacit understanding of how to hold people. But today, they found the wrong target. Qin Zhong suddenly raised his hand, accurately grasped the iron chain, and gently pulled it. The officer staggered and his body lost his balance.
Before he could react, Qin Chong shook the iron chain, lightly threw it into a circle, and put it around the officer's neck.
At this time, the other two government officials had just approached Qin Zhong. Seeing their colleagues being captured, they suddenly felt frightened and hesitated at their feet, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. Qin Zhongzheng was annoyed and sent him to his door.
How could he let go of the punching bag? With a sway of his shoulder, he hit the person on the left with an iron rock.
"Bang." The sound of the railing breaking, mixed with the screams of the yamen servant, fell straight from the second floor. How could a yamen servant resist Qin Zhong's strength? An iron mountain hit the yamen servant, and the yamen servant carried him with him
With the huge momentum, he broke the railing and fell down to the second floor. Suddenly, there was a scream from downstairs.
The government servant who fell from the building knocked over a table, and the cups and dishes were shattered on the floor.
The yamen servant lay on the ground, his body bent like a shrimp, screaming in pain.
Another government official, on the other hand, fell to his knees in panic. He couldn't say a word and just kowtowed.
Qin Chong was too lazy to pay attention. He tightened his hands and the iron chain clattered, tightening the man in his arms.
"Tell me, why did you take me?" Qin Chong said in a deep voice.
"Have mercy on me." The officer's face turned red from suppressing his emotions. He yelled for mercy with difficulty, kicking his legs. Qin Zhong loosened the chain and let him breathe. "Have mercy on me, have mercy on me."
"Say, why should you take me?" Qin Chong said angrily.
"It's none of my business. It's Liu Dutou. It's Liu Dutou who asked us to take the person." The yamen servant was frightened and felt that he had died just now. Suddenly, tears flowed down his face, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.
"Let me ask you, who is the plaintiff? What is the cause of action? Is there an arrest warrant?"
The yamen servant had lost his mind and could only cry, unable to reply. Qin Zhong was bored for a while, raised his hand and threw the yamen servant away, and walked downstairs. At this time, Wu Chengzu and others stood at the stairs, staring at Qin Chong.
, I don’t know how to express myself. Beating the official, it seems very relaxing, but there will be more troubles behind.
On weekdays, when government officials take people, who is not arrogant and arrogant? Who dares to argue with him? What kind of arrest warrant is needed? He would have been kicked to the ground, put on a chain and dragged away. If he dares to stab someone again, he will be beaten without a head or face.
He was beaten severely. When he arrived, he couldn't reason with him. Instead, he was dragged everywhere like a dead dog.
Although it was not the first time in the Song Dynasty that Qin Chong beat an official like this, it was enough to shock Dali County.
"If you want to arrest someone, I have it here." Suddenly, a man stood up in the hall and said to Qin Zhong.
This man stood up in the hall. He was in his forties, with a medium build and a long beard. At this time, the middle-aged man was angry and walked slowly towards Qin Zhong. He stretched out his hand and handed a volume of documents to Qin Zhong.
Heavy.
The document stated that the Xiaodongzhuang people were high-definition and sued Qin Zhong for kidnapping his sister-in-law and forcing her to die. Dali County accepted the case and ordered the arrest squad to arrest her quickly. The official seal of the Dali County main hall was stamped on the back.
Is he really being sued? Qin Zhong was a little confused for a while. He originally thought that the government officials were just bluffing, how could they take someone without evidence? However, Qin Chong still fell into the old rut. These days, there is no need for evidence when the government takes people.
Is there any evidence? As long as you are suspected of being guilty, you are guilty.
Don’t admit it? After being tortured for 72 years, you will say whatever you are asked to say.
What's more, there really was a plaintiff who came forward and submitted a petition to sue Qin Zhong.
"You have read the arrest papers. If you resist the arrest again, you will be openly defying the imperial court." The middle-aged man said sternly.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Qin Chong stared at the middle-aged man and said coldly.
At this moment, Qin Chong was very passive. At this point, Qin Chong also understood that he was being plotted. He first spread rumors and then led to false accusations. At this time, the government officials had a reputation and it was reasonable to arrest him. If he resisted
, it is not difficult to get away, but if the false accusation is proved true, there is another one of resisting arrest.
At that point, even if I was right, I couldn't explain it clearly.
"Take it down." The middle-aged man ordered sternly.
