Many people like to talk about justice, and Meng Xinghe is no exception. He prefers to talk about justice with some people who like to talk about justice in the courtroom, which symbolizes fairness and justice. However, the prerequisite is that he must have good faith in his heart.
Meng Xinghe is not the kind of person who only thinks of resisting when he is free and waits for trouble to come to him. He remembers that when he was in Taoyuan, the Ma family, which had been ruined by him, arranged a fornication for him. He was charged with being a thief, but Meng Xinghe was really unprepared at that time. He only escaped that disaster with the help of the old man Meng, the examiner who would be hard to forget in his life. In the final analysis, when he was still naive, it was thanks to this old man. To help myself, I remember that when I came to Chang'an, he seemed to have asked me to take a letter somewhere, but I haven't finished it yet, and the letter was also under my box. If I hadn't thought of it today, I would have almost forgotten it.
Meng Xinghe felt guilty because he was entrusted by someone but could not be loyal after all. However, he was only temporarily unwell and soon fixed his gaze on the three Wang family members in front of him.
The three members of the Wang family immediately felt a chill, but then they became united and prepared to deal with Meng Xinghe's justice at any time. They still didn't believe it, and the three of them couldn't fight against one person.
"Ahem," Meng Xinghe coughed suddenly, and the three people opposite him immediately pricked up their ears like frightened rabbits.
"Don't be afraid, I just have a discomfort in my throat. If you feel that there is something wrong in your mind, just confess it. Of course, it is just a matter of falsely accusing me of cheating in the imperial examination. As for any other shameful things, I don't need to know, it has nothing to do with me. ,"
This seemingly casual sentence was like a sharp knife, piercing the hearts of the three members of the Wang family.
What do you mean? Is this a threat, or is it his bottom line? The three of them looked at each other with stunned expressions, unable to guess what Meng Xinghe was thinking. Wang Tong, who had a strong voice among them, threw stones and asked: "We don't know Mr. Meng. What do you mean, if you have something to say, just say it, no need to be secretive,"
It's true that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. It seems that these three people will not shed tears without seeing the coffin.
Meng Xinghe increased his tone and said: "You three know what it means. However, I have been idle these days and I heard an interesting story. I wonder if you three are interested in hearing it. ,"
"Pa bang bang,,"
"Meng Xinghe, please go back to the topic. This is not a place for you to tell stories. This is the court." The presiding judge will not allow Meng Xinghe to idle around and delay time. Now there are witnesses confronting him in the court. He has arrived I got ready to tell stories when I was free. It seemed that I was struggling to my death, but it was more important to handle the case. To listen to stories, there were many storytellers under the overpass.
Meng Xinghe was not stopped by the sound of the gavel. He just said as usual: "Returning to your lord, although the story the student is going to tell has no direct connection with this case, it is a story that must be heard."
Not sure if what Meng Xinghe said was true, the three presiding judges were discussing among themselves and couldn't make up their minds for a while.
"Speak," the voice was deep, but at a height that made people dare not look up. It came from behind the screen, making the entire Dali Temple Yamen suddenly cast a dark majesty, making it difficult to breathe.
After receiving the approval of the strong boss behind the scenes, Meng Xinghe did not show off, looked at the three Wang family members with amusement, and said with a smile: "Your name is Wang Tong, your name is Wang Sheng, and your name is Wang Wen." Meng Xinghe has a good memory and has already memorized it. The names of each of the three people are recorded, and they can be distinguished accordingly.
The three of them nodded, wondering what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Meng Xinghe continued: "I once had a naughty and naughty sister. She always liked to play tricks. Sometimes she liked to pretend to be an old woman, and sometimes she became an old man. Now she dressed herself up to be naughty and well-behaved. At home, my parents both I like to call her the ever-changing witch,"
",,,,,,,"
Everyone was speechless. What was this talking about? Why did it involve my sister?
On the contrary, after hearing what Meng Xinghe said, the man named Wang said calmly: "Young Master should be lucky to have such a sister."
"Yes," Meng Xinghe said with emotion: "Don't you think you look like my sister now?"
"Really?" Faced with Meng Xinghe's ridiculous question, the expressions of the Wang family members immediately changed a lot, but they did not get confused yet.
It seems that I have underestimated these three people. They are indeed ruthless people who used to kill people and steal goods on the Liaodong Road. How dare they sneak into Chang'an without paying attention to the city.
Meng Xinghe walked into them and said something that only a few of them could hear clearly: "Brother, I don't like to make too many disputes. I also know that you were instigated and forced to do this by others. As for that person Who it is, you don’t need to tell me, I also know that everyone is messing around on the road, and whoever doesn’t give others a way to survive will not get a good death in the future. Hurry up, is it you who know the current situation and clears my name, or I When the money is taken back together with the profits, then it will not just be as simple as being exiled to Mobei for cheating on scientific examinations, but the lives of twenty-seven people in the Liaodong Prefecture are no joke,"
Meng Xinghe spoke very quietly, and very quickly, others thought he was sizing up the three members of the Wang family, and had no idea that they were talking about a major family extermination case that once caused a sensation in Liaodong.
Although ten years have passed since that case, and it is now forgotten, whenever they hear about it, the three members of the Wang family immediately lose confidence.
People who commit murder and swindle goods, once they have lived a comfortable life for a few years, they begin to be afraid, fearing that one day they will have to live a life of fear again.
Leave some leeway in life. These three people have nothing to do with themselves. They were just caught and used. After finishing the whisper, Meng Xinghe's voice became louder: "Wang Tong, let me ask you again, cheat sheet , Is it me who carries it, or are you the one who framed it?"
Every word is comparable to thunder in the sky. However, after a short period of thinking, the three members of the Wang family were convinced that Meng Xinghe would not have such magical powers to tell the past that had been silent for ten years. Moreover, they had also done a lot of destruction at that time. The practice of eradicating traces of corpses has been completely eliminated in Chang'an in recent years. Even if Meng Xinghe said it, they would just deny it, and it would still be an open case.
"I don't know what the young master said, we can't understand it," the Wang family said firmly. It seemed that they were not ready to surrender.
They are really a bunch of stubborn people who won't shed tears until they see the coffin. Meng Xinghe sighed to himself, since others won't give him face, he must beat him hard.
Meng Xinghe took out a booklet from his arms, and there were many dark blood stains on it. Everyone didn't know what Meng Xinghe wanted to do, they just thought that his behavior was really weird.
"Wang Tong, do you still recognize this booklet?" Meng Xinghe reminded, fearing that Wang Tong did not recognize it: "This is the document that was prepared by the Liaodong government office ten years ago to report to the court the accusations of some officials in Liaodong secretly forming cliques and engaging in malpractice for personal gain. , you didn’t expect that what you worked so hard to get is now in my hands,”
Wang Tong and his brother Wang Sheng clenched their fists secretly, and a fierce light gradually appeared in their eyes.
Meng Xinghe ignored it at all. He turned to the three presiding judges above and said, "You three, please take a look."
The three chief judges were obviously stunned. It was originally a case of imperial examination fraud, but how could it be involved in an unjust case that had lasted ten years? Moreover, the unjust case in Liaodong that year was still fresh in the minds of the three judges. However, the murderer did not leave anything behind at that time. There are clues that the case has never been vindicated, but at this time, Meng Xinghe suddenly mentioned the case, and they were also the presiding judges at that time. It was impossible to let a young boy say a word about an unsolvable case. The trial was held in court, so they were all thinking about whether what Meng Xinghe said was true.
"Hand it over," the person behind the screen said coldly when the three adults did not discuss the results.
It didn't matter who collected the booklet, Meng Xinghe handed it over and waited quietly.
"Asshole,"
After a while, a rare anger came from behind the screen, and the booklet was handed out from behind the screen and placed in front of the three presiding judges.
After a brief glance at the contents of the booklet, he knew that this matter must be dealt with today. The presiding judge sitting in the middle did not dare to slack off and said extremely seriously: "Meng Xinghe, what is listed above is true. This is true." It was really written by the governor of Liaodong ten years ago,"
Meng Xinghe nodded: "Not bad,"
At this time, Wang Wen, who seemed to be relatively gentle, knelt on the ground with a snap: "Sir, these are all Meng Xinghe's one-sided words. It is unbelievable. The three villains, uncle and nephew, are obsessed with their careers and serve the Tang Dynasty. I have been working hard for several years, and I have been self-denial and devoted to the public, not daring to make any mistakes. Now that I have been framed by a villain, please make the decision for our uncle and nephew."
"Master Wang, get up first." After all, he is the chief judge of the third division. The physical evidence cannot prove anything, and he dare not draw any conclusions. The chief judge said: "It remains to be investigated whether the evidence is true or false. Meng Xinghe, if you today , If you don’t make it clear, it means that several crimes will be punished at the same time, and the sentence will not be lenient,”
"Okay," Meng Xinghe said confidently, "Master Rong will ask the villain to summon a witness."
Hearing that he was a witness, the presiding judge immediately said: "Yes,"
As a result, the summons was heard from the court hall to outside.
"Wang Tong, you didn't expect that there were still people left alive in the world after that unjust case," Meng Xinghe said casually, and footsteps sounded outside.
The fists of the Wang brothers suddenly clenched and crackled, obviously at the last moment.
The person who summoned was brought in by two teenagers. She was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. She was timid, so she seemed very scared and did not dare to look into everyone's eyes. She was like an insect living in the dark and unable to see the light.
When she entered the lobby, she had been hiding behind the two teenagers, looking very afraid of people. However, when her exposed eyes fell on the Wang family uncle and nephew, the girl actually screamed sharply.
"It's them, it's them, it's them, they killed my parents," the girl exclaimed, as if she had returned to the frightening scene back then, and suddenly fainted. Fortunately, the two teenagers around him were able to help her. live.
"choke,,"
At the same time, Wang Tong took the initiative and grabbed the sword from the waist of the guard a few feet behind him, and killed the two guards with one blow, grabbing one for Wang Sheng and Wang Wen.
"How is it possible? Back then, the governor of Liaodong and his family of twenty-seven people were all killed by me. It is impossible for anyone to survive. This girl is clearly pretending." Wang Tong, who had always been calm, could no longer hold back. The true nature hidden under the skin was finally revealed. The three brothers stood back to back, glaring angrily at everyone in front of them, looking quite ferocious with murderous intent.
"Brother, what should I do?" Wang Sheng, who was not as courageous as Wang Tong, asked in a low voice when he saw that he was cornered. The hand holding the knife couldn't help but tremble. He had not done anything like killing people and stealing goods for several years, so he was quite unfamiliar.
"What a fool. Killing one means death, killing two means death. There are so many people here today, and we have already killed three. We have already made enough." Wang Tong had already killed three people before, and he had already become famous. Eyes, now that there is no way out, he immediately wants to kill Meng Xinghe first.
After all, Wang Tong was a Lianjiazi. A stork rose and fell, and he picked up a knife and landed in front of Meng Xinghe. Fortunately, the guards of Dali Temple reacted quickly. When they saw Wang Tong making trouble, they immediately formed a circle and surrounded the three of him. , Meng Xinghe was certainly not a fool. He retreated to Master Du and watched the scene that was about to happen with interest.
"Take it down," the chief judge ordered at this moment, and the guards rushed forward regardless of the danger.
"Brother, what should we do?" Wang Sheng was anxious. Seeing so many people surrounding them, he was also afraid.
"Kill me, you coward." Wang Tong put his foot on Wang Sheng's back and pushed him forward to use it as a knife.
There are more and more guards around, and there is a fishy smell everywhere in the lobby. The third uncle and nephew of the Wang family have been forced into a blind corner, and it seems that they are almost at the end of their rope.
Among the three, Wang Tong was the most ruthless and had killed the most people. He knew that if he continued like this, his physical strength would be completely exhausted. He couldn't care about so much anymore. Wang Tong waved his blood-red knife and decided to fight his way out.
His observation ability is not weak, and he is surrounded by copper and iron walls. If he wants to get out, he has to rely on hard work. As long as the green hills are left, there is no need to worry about not having firewood.
"Clang,"
Another life was at stake, and Wang Tong's violence showed how cruel it was.
"Brother, let's surrender," Wang Sheng couldn't resist and was already fighting to the death. However, he kept shouting about surrender, which made Wang Tong feel very uncomfortable.
"Uncle Third, if this continues, we will eventually die." Among the three, only Wang Sheng felt vulnerable and had begged for mercy several times. The chief judge above also ordered him to put down his weapons many times and stop doing unnecessary things. Despite the resistance, Wang Sheng finally collapsed after surrendering both mentally and physically.
"Dang," Wang Sheng dropped the knife in his hand: "Don't kill me, I surrender,"
While he was still speaking, Wang Tong behind him stabbed him in the heart: "Coward, it's better to die than to live. Do you really think they will spare you? Just dream,"
"Brother, surrender, I, I dream every night, that, that, is twenty-seven lives,"
With a long sigh, Wang Sheng closed his eyes forever. Wang Tong did not feel sad because he killed his younger brother with his own hands. He held Wang Sheng's body with his Tao, acting as a physical shield, and fired out in the circle surrounded by guards. A bloody road.
However, the soldiers behind him were really chasing after him. Fortunately, there was Wang Wen behind him, so Wang Tong would not be attacked from both sides.
"No way, no one can leave if this continues," Wang Tong roared angrily, "Third uncle, my brother is dead. I will remember to avenge you in the future."
Wang Wen didn't respond to what was going on. He only felt a chill on his neck. He was killed by Wang Tong, his nephew. Then his men turned around in the air several times to block the enemies behind Wang Tong. The guards had not yet Having seen such a ruthless person, he temporarily relaxed the encirclement and suppression. However, Wang Tong seized the opportunity and slashed a few times, cutting a bloody path. He had already reached the gate. He gave Meng Xinghe a vicious look, and then rushed outside quickly. go.
