When Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting were doing morning exercises in the practice room, Daian bumped in. Before he could catch his breath, he couldn't wait to shout: "Master! It's a disaster! It's a disaster!"
Ximen Qing slowly withdrew his kick, turned around, shook his head and smiled: "Look at you! Didn't I teach you earlier that you should be calm when big things happen? Stay calm and speak slowly, what happened?
Already?"
Daian took a deep breath, sighed again, straightened his waist and said, "Sir, if I say so, you must not get angry in a hurry."
Jiao Ting laughed and scolded at the side: "You're such a naughty little guy! My elder brother wants you to be calm when facing important events, but you've only whetted my appetite! Why don't you tell me now!"
Daian made a smile at Jiao Ting, but it was uglier than crying: "Master, Second Master, Second Master Wu Songwu killed someone and went out on his own in the county government office!"
"What?" Jiao Ting jumped up.
Ximen Qing slowly wiped his hands and face with a towel, but forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart. He knew that if he jumped up with Jiao Ting, it would be difficult for others to trust and rely on you if anything happens in the future.
"Speak more clearly." Ximen Qing said calmly.
Da'an saw that Ximen Qing looked calm and acted as if nothing had happened, and he felt much more at ease in his heart, so he said: "Sir, I got up early this morning and went to the morning market. I wanted to find some fun things to honor you.
OK."
Ximen Qing nodded and said seriously: "Well, it would be even better if we could find something fun to do to please Xiaoyu."
Da'an blushed immediately, and Jiao Ting laughed. He thought that since the eldest brother still had the intention to joke with Da'an, he must have already made up his mind about the murder of the second brother Wu. At this thought, Jiao Ting tensed up.
My nerves also relaxed.
Daian touched his head, blushing and continued: "I was wandering in front of the morning market in front of the county government office, when I saw our white horse - oh! It was our former white horse. A sudden breeze passed by not far away,
Oh my God! In addition to Mr. Wu, there are also a bunch of heads on the back of the horse, there must be dozens of them!"
"How many dozens?" Jiao Ting was startled at first.
Ximen Qing snorted: "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, dozens of people? Even if the thief king is captured and the rebellion is suppressed, there won't be that many heads to chop off! Dai'an! Tell the truth, this matters.
Is it you who just smile and talk nonsense when someone's life is at risk?"
Daian's face turned solemn: "Sir, I know I was wrong! I said dozens, but that was just a matter of word of mouth, but when I heard the trial later, there should be eight or nine of them!"
"Eight, nine?" Jiao Ting and Ximen Qing looked at each other, "Where did Brother Wu kill so many people?"
"What happened next?" Ximen Qing continued to ask.
Da'an shuddered: "Later... Later I was so scared that I went numb, and I don't know when I came back to my senses. Then I heard people around me say that Mr. Wu came to the morning office and wanted to play the drum, but he couldn't.
I couldn’t find the drumstick, and when I looked again, I found that the drum was still broken. Master, if I remember correctly, you broke the drum with just one punch!"
Ximen Qing waved his hand: "Stop talking about fake and shoddy furnishings! Let's get to the point!"
Daian pouted and said in his heart: "You can make fun of me and Xiaoyu, but you can't do it if I say you broke the drum? You are so overbearing!"
But seeing Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting staring at him, Daian didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and quickly reported back: "Later I heard that the officers on duty in the Yamen were first frightened by Mr. Wu, and then listened to Wu
The second master said that he was coming from his own country, so he respectfully invited the second master Wu to sit in the custody room. Then someone went to look for the county magistrate under the hot quilt. When the county magistrate came, he was sleepy and didn't know.
Does the old man rest in the main residence of the county government? Or in an outhouse on a small street? Or, in the Spring and Autumn Period?"
Da'an said, raising his head, looking quite fascinated.
Ximen Qing shouted: "How can a young man like you covet the Chunqiu Former Residence? Keep going!"
Dai'an calmed down and continued: "When the magistrate was promoted to court, Second Master Wu went up and confessed that he was in Baoying Village outside Nancheng last night and killed five members of Earl Ying's family in one go, and also spared Li Waichuan and Lu Hua.
, Zhang Sheng, Shui Xiucai, these four people were killed, and eight heads were cut off as evidence. The county magistrate has already sent an official, appointed a member of the foremen, and Wu Erye to go to Baoying Village for an on-site autopsy!"
Ximen Qing said with cold eyes: "You deserve death, but you are not dead! You stand up and speak to me first! Well, that's it! Tell me! What did you do again?"
Daian stood up straight, lowered his head and said: "Sir, I saw our white horse, no no no! It's Mr. Wu's white horse standing alone at the gate of the county government office, and Mr. Wu has no time to take care of it.
, I took the courage to bring the white horse back..."
While the boy was talking, he glanced at Ximen Qing's face. However, he saw that Ximen Qing's face was neither happy nor angry, and he just said in a long voice: "You are very thoughtful... Where is the horse?"
Dai'an felt weak and quickly responded: "I took the white horse to the stable and had it washed - the horse's hindquarters were covered with such a large pool of human blood!"
Ximen Qing nodded and suddenly shouted: "Dai'an!"
Dai'an was startled. Hearing Ximen Qing's serious tone, he hurriedly agreed: "Dai'an is here!"
Ximen Qingdao: "Go to the martial arts brother's house on Zishi Street and send him a message, telling him not to panic and to do his own thing with peace of mind. Brother Wu is in trouble today, so he needs the merit to cook the cake.
Time!" Daian agreed and went.
Ximen Qing focused on Jiao Ting again and said: "Brother, go to the county government office and take a look at the situation. All the government officials below are very interesting. Although the tiger-killing hero has great reputation in Qinghe County, at the critical moment, copper is still more valuable than
It's better to save face." Jiao Ting cupped his hands and went on his own.
With no one around him, Ximen Qing threw the sweat towel to the ground with all his strength, and said bitterly: "Oh! Wu Song, Wu Song!"
I thought about changing my destiny against heaven and changing my destiny against heaven. Although my destiny was changed, I couldn't change it today. Wu Song still killed someone after all! And this happened on Wu Dalang's birthday. Could it be that the Yinsi Palace of Hell is also particular about it?
To balance the balance of payments, I, Wu Dalang, Pan Jinlian and even Wang Po have avoided the disaster, so someone else has to suffer for them, right?
However, although Wu Song killed him happily this time, he went too far. Even though Earl Ying was disliked by thousands of people and hated by thousands of people, what did it have to do with his family? Wu Song actually killed everyone in the Ying family in one go.
, this is not just overkill? It is simply crazy. I didn’t expect that he would use the method to deal with Zhang Dujian’s family in Mengzhou City first in Qinghe County!
Is it still the heroic Wu Song who has been praised by the people for thousands of years?
He sighed and shook his head. Even if there was a gap between ideal and reality, no matter how disappointing it was, Wu Song would still have to be saved!
Ximen Qing quickly walked into the back house and said to Yueniang: "Yue Niang, prepare a pair of gold and silver wine vessels for me, and get fifty taels of garlic gold."
Yueniang was surprised: "What do you want with so much gold? Haven't the gold medals for the Chinese New Year been melted long ago?"
Ximen Qing smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid the days of spending a lot of money are still behind me! Second brother Wu killed someone! You need to use this money to move around in the yamen!"
Yueniang was instructing Yuxiao and Xiaoyu to open cabinets and suitcases. When she heard this, she trembled with fright: "Which one did he kill?"
Ximen Qing said angrily: "Which one? It should be said 'which'!"
After hearing this, Yueniang was so frightened that she was stunned for a long time, and then she said: "I heard that Brother Wu was deceived by a villain two days ago and wanted to hurt you. Fortunately, he explained it later. Why is he going to kill others again now?
?Why do you want our family to spend money on him to atone for his sins?"
Ximen Qing said categorically: "How much money has our family made over the past year or so relying on Brother Wu's meritorious deeds to cook cakes? Now that his brother is in trouble, how can you and I stand by and watch?"
Yueniang nodded and said, "The official said it is right!"
Ximen Qing patted her hand and praised: "Yue Niang, having a wise and wise you here has saved me so much worry! Thank you so much for my husband!"
Yueniang suddenly jumped away, blushing and whispered: "The girls are in the next room, tampering with them, what do you mean?"
Ximen Qing smiled, filled the gift box with gold and silver wine vessels and garlic gold, and hurried away.
When he arrived at the county government office, he didn't even need to report. He went straight into the room, met Li Zhixian, and made it clear that he wanted to save Wu Song's life, and then presented him with a gift. Li Zhixian declined and said: "We are all good friends. I accepted it with my heart, but I can't accept the gift."
!”
Ximen Qingdao: "To accomplish this meritorious deed, I don't know how many ways I have to trouble Brother Gongji. Can't you, Brother Gongji, post all the money alone? Brother Gongji must accept these stepping stones.
"
Li Zhixian had no choice but to accept it, and then mused: "Brother, I already have a good idea of the manuscript of this case. It's just that Mr. Chen Wenzhao of Dongping Mansion is an upright official who doesn't need money, and he knows every detail. If I submit the manuscript, I want to
It was not dismissed by him, but it gave me a headache."
Ximen Qing suddenly thought of someone and said with a smile: "Brother Li, just do your copywriting. I will leave it to Magistrate Chen to find a way." This is exactly:
Don't waste a thousand pieces of gold in a box, only to watch a reed come from the horizon. But I don't know who Ximen Qing is thinking of? Let's listen to the explanation next time.
