The weather was getting colder, and I finally got the chance to sneak out with A'Du.
It's better to be on the street, people come and go, cars are like water and horses are like dragons, and it is very lively. When we went to the tea shop to hear about books, the original storyteller didn’t know where he had gone, and he was replaced by a storyteller who didn’t tell the story of Sword Immortal, but the story of the imperial court’s westward expedition decades ago.
"Then Xiliang was defeated, and he was frightened by the army of the Celestial Dynasty and became invincible. He paid tribute and declared himself a minister. Emperor Xuan was kind and generous, and made an appointment with Xiliang to form a friendship between Qin and Jin for generations, and gave the marriage of Princess Mingyuan of the Celestial Dynasty to the Khan of Xiliang. The two countries have been in harmony for more than ten years. I did not expect that when the old khan of Xiliang died, the new khan pretended to be the khan of heaven, and he would go to war with the celestial dynasty. The army of the celestial dynasty overwhelmed the territory. My own daughter and relatives, only in exchange for the heavenly net to open up... "
Everyone in the tea shop burst into laughter. A’Du jumped up and threw the cup. Usually, she was holding me to prevent me from fighting. This time, I was afraid that she could not help but hurt others, so I pulled her out of the tea. wantonly.
The sun was shining brightly outside. I remember Princess Mingyuan. She was a beautiful woman. She dressed differently from the women in Western Liang. When she died of illness, Dad was still very sad.
Dad treats her very well, Dad said, treat her well, just wait for the Central Plains.
We Xiliang people always think that if we treat others well, others will naturally treat us well. It's not like people in Beijing, who always have a few twists and turns in their hearts, say one thing in person, and do another behind their back.
If three years ago, I would have fought with people in the tea shop, but now I am disheartened.
A'Du and I were sitting by the bridge to rest. The sails in the canal were full of wind, and the old man held a long pole and plunged it into the bottom of the water, then slowly retreated back step by step. I remember when I first arrived in Beijing, I was surprised when I saw a boat, how could the car go in the water? I was even more surprised when I saw the bridge, it was like a rainbow, who made the stones into a rainbow? In our Xiliang, although there is a river, the water of the river is always very clear and shallow, like a piece of silver yarn spread on the grassland. bridge.
After coming to Beijing, I saw many things that I had never seen before, but I was not happy at all.
Just when I was in a daze, suddenly there was a "thump" sound not far away, and then someone shouted: "Come on! My brother fell into the river! Save people!"
I looked up and saw a seven- or eight-year-old girl standing not far away, crying, "Save my brother BBS?JOOYOO.NEt! He fell into the river!"
I saw a small head float on the water and sink again, and I jumped into the water without thinking, completely forgetting that I didn't know water. When I grabbed the child's arm, I choked a lot of saliva myself. I thought it was broken this time. Instead of saving people, I drowned myself. It doesn't matter if I was drowned, I didn't take care of A'Du when I died, and she didn't know if she knew the way back to Xiliang... I drank a lot of water, and my whole body was sinking. When I was picked up from the river, I was almost awake. A'Du put me on a big rock on the bank of the river, and I spit out a lot of water. Thinking back to the first time I saw a goldfish in a crystal tank in the East Palace, I thought it was extremely rare, how could it be so With such a cute chubby belly, and always blowing bubbles slowly? Now I understand, it turned out to be full of water in its stomach.
A'Du was completely soaked from top to bottom, she squatted beside me, and her clothes were dripping with water. She stared at me anxiously, and I knew that if I didn't wake up again, this silly girl was going to cry.
"A'Du..." I spit out a large mouthful of water again, "What about the child..."
A'Du picked up the child who fell into the water and showed it to me. His whole body was dripping wet and dripping with water, and he just stared at me with his black eyes.
I got up in a daze, there were already a lot of people around, probably all watching the fun. I watched the excitement on the street all day, but I didn't expect to be watched by others this time. Just as A'Du and I were wringing the water on our clothes, someone cried and shouted, stumbling into the crowd: "My son! My son!"
Seeing that they looked like a couple, the two of them burst into tears while hugging the drowning child, while the girl rubbed her eyes.
I feel extremely happy about the family reunion. I have been in the tea shop all day hearing about chivalrous heroes in books. I didn't expect that I would be a hero today too. Who would have thought that before a thought was finished, the boy who fell into the water suddenly burst into tears: "Dad, it was that bad guy who pushed me into the river!"
I was dumbfounded and didn't know what was going on.
"I saw it too, he was the one who pushed my brother down the river!" The little girl's tender voice sounded like thunder in my ears.
"How can people's hearts be so vicious now!"
"What's wrong with the little boy?"
"I really can't see it, he looks so gentle, but he does such a beast!"
"Sven scum! Clothes and beasts!"
"You can't spare them lightly!"
"right!"
"You can't spare them lightly!"
As soon as the people around us rushed up, they came to push and shove us. A'Du obviously didn't understand what happened, just looked at me. The veins on my temple jumped and jumped. I didn't expect a good person to become a villain. It's so angry!
"Send the child to the hospital and let the doctor see it!"
"This has to lose money! Pushing other people's children into the river for no reason will lose money!"
I said, "We obviously rescued this child, how can we have white teeth and insist that I pushed him down!"
"You didn't push it, what did you save?"
I barely spit out a mouthful of blood, this is... what kind of nonsense
"My son is so frightened, he needs to ask God for a doctor!"
"Yes! I have to ask the doctor to see if it hurts!"
"This child is very good, where is the injury? Besides, it is clear that I rescued him... "
"This bad guy is still stubborn! It's okay to ask a doctor if you don't lose money, let's go to the yamen!"
The people around were shouting, "Take him to the yamen!"
All I could hear was a clamor: "Go to the yamen!"
I was angry, and when I went to the yamen, I went to the yamen. I was not afraid of shadows, and I always said it clearly.
A bunch of people like us, walking on the street noisily, attracts attention, plus the parents of children, holding their children while weeping and saying, "Come and have a look... It's no good... Put the child away. Pushed into the river, and said he saved the child by himself. The child will not lie... "
So A'Du and I were only a few mice away from crossing the street along the river. The vegetable seller threw vegetable peels at us, and the idlers on the roadside spat on the ground. Fortunately, A'Du was good at it, and none of those who threw the vegetable skins could throw them at us, but the more this happened, the more furious I became.
After entering the Wannian County Government Office, my anger calmed down a little, and there would always be something to reason about. Besides, it's my first time to this place, and it seems to be quite sophisticated. The two counties of Chang'an and Wan'an under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Yin take the meaning of Chang'an Wannian, and Chang'an County and Wannian County are also known as the first counties in the world. When he was promoted to the hall, he was majestic and majestic. First, the yamen shouted his prestige in a low voice, and then the Wannian County magistrate stepped out, took his seat slowly, and began to ask the plaintiff and the defendant's name.
It was only then that I learned that the couple, surnamed Jia, lived on the bank of the canal and sold fish for a living. When I was asked, I naturally used a pseudonym and called myself "Liang Xi". I used this name all the time when I strolled around on the street. It's just that the magistrate of Wannian County asked me what my career was. I was speechless and couldn't answer. The master next to me couldn't help but interjected when I looked at me, "Is that a homeless person?"
That's pretty much it, the homeless, I nodded.
The magistrate of Wannian County listened to the nonsense of the couple, and asked the two children. The two children said in unison that I pushed my brother down. The magistrate of Wannian County stopped asking them and turned to me: "Do you know water?"
"I don't know."
The magistrate of Wannian County nodded and said, "You pushed people into the river for no reason, and almost caused people to die. What else is there to say?"
I jumped up and down with anger: "I went to save him because I saw him fall into the water. How could I push him down, and what did I push him down for?"
Wannian County magistrate said: "You don't know water, but you went to save him. If you didn't push him down, why did you sacrifice your life to save him?"
I said, "When saving someone, there's no room for thinking! When I saw that he fell into the water, I went to save him without a second thought. I don't even think about whether I know water or not!"
Wankan County magistrate said: "It can be seen nonsense! People are selfish, and they cherish their lives the most. You don't know him, and you don't know water, but you went into the water to save him. What is it? If you didn't push it down, then Why do you feel guilty, since you have a guilty conscience, there is no doubt that you pushed it down!"
I looked at the big characters behind him, "The mirror hangs high", and the blue veins in the temple began to beat slowly again. Every time I jumped, I thought about rolling my sleeves and fighting.
Seeing that I had nothing to say, the magistrate of Wankan County said, "You pushed someone into the water for no reason, and your children were quite frightened. Now the county has sentenced you to pay Jia's family ten money to comfort his family."
I grinned back, "So that's how you concluded the case?"
The magistrate of Wannian County said slowly: "Do you think this master's decision is unfair?"
"Of course it's not fair! The sky is bright and bright, and it was I who saved this person. You listen to one side of the story, but you don't want to believe me."
"You insisted that you didn't push the child down, what evidence do you have?"
I looked at A'Du and said, "This is A'Du. She watched me save people, and in the end, she was the one who picked up me and the child."
Wankan County magistrate said: "Then ask him to come forward and answer."
I held my breath and said, "She can't speak."
The magistrate of Wankan County laughed: "It turns out to be a mute!" When he smiled, I knew it was going to be bad, BBS. jOOyOONET As expected, A'Du pulled out the golden knife with a "swipe", if it wasn't for my eyesight, I would have quickly pulled her. It is estimated that she has already cut off a pair of ears of the county magistrate. A'Du stood there, staring at the magistrate of Wannian County, but the officers around him scolded: "No sharp knives are allowed on the court!"
A'Du's body moved, but he didn't break my hand, but the tip of the knife had been tapped like snow, and he immediately closed his hand. She was as fast as lightning, and before everyone could react, the box of red tickets in the Wannian County case suddenly cracked with a soft "boo" sound. It has been split in half. There were at least dozens of lottery sticks inserted in this lottery tube, and they were all cut open by A'Du's knife in a flash of lightning, and each stick was cut from the center, impartially. Everyone in the court was stunned, and the people watching the lively outside the door roared: "What a trick!"
The guards in the door knew that this was not a trick but a sword technique. The magistrate of Wankan County was so frightened that his face turned pale, but he barely calmed down: "Come... come here! How can you play with weapons in the courtroom!"
Then there was a guard who dared to go forward to grab A'Du's knife, and I said, "If anyone of you dares to come forward, I won't stop her from cutting off your ears."
The magistrate of Wannian County said: "This is the dignified Wannian County Government Office. Are you going to rebel like this?"
I said, "Sir, you have wronged me."
The magistrate of Wannian County said: "If you don't want to rebel, hand over the knife quickly..." Before he could finish his sentence, A'Du glared at him, and he changed his words, "Hurry up and put the knife away!"
A'Du put the Jin Cuo knife back into his waist, I think we're in a big trouble today, but we just don't know how to end it.
When the magistrate of Wannian County saw that A'Du had put away the sword, he seemed relieved a little bit. He winked at the master, and the master walked down the hall and asked me quietly, "The two heroes are very skilled, I don't know. In which lord's mansion does it work?"
I didn't understand much, and rolled my eyes at him: "Explain!"
The master patiently lowered his voice: "Our lords mean that the skills of the two are extraordinary at first glance. I don't know which lord they are working for?"
Now I am happy. It turns out that the magistrate of Wannian County is also bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. When we make such a fuss, he actually thinks that we have a lot of backgrounds, and 80% thinks that we are rangers raised by the powerful mansion. I pondered for a while, and reported Li Cheng Yin's name, the county magistrate would definitely not believe it. I had an idea, and I have it!
I quietly told him: "My lord, it's General Jin Wu Pei Zhao."
The master suddenly realized that he even turned his back, secretly cupped his hands towards me, and said in a low voice, "It turned out to be Mr. Pei's Yulin-Lang, no wonder he is so good."
Those bastards, Yulin-rou, I'm not going to be with them! But this can't be said at the moment. The Central Plains said it well: a hero does not suffer immediate losses.
Master went back to the case and whispered in the ear of the county magistrate.
Wannian County magistrate's face became ugly, and finally gave Jingtang a shot: "Since it is General Jinwu's people who are instructed to act, then I have invited General Pei to come here and be a notary!"
I tilted my head, I didn't expect the county magistrate to make such a move, I thought that Pei Zhao was in charge of the East Palace today, this matter is really big. If he doesn't come, or sends someone who doesn't know the basics, I will be miserable. Do I really want to fight in this court and then run away
Later, Pei Zhao told me that I learned that although the magistrate of Wannian County is only a seventh-rank official, because it is in front of the imperial city at the foot of the emperor, it is the most difficult job. Those who can do this job are the so-called slickest officials. The magistrate of Wannian County was so troubled by us that he couldn't stop the scene. Hearing that I was Pei Zhao's person, he really ordered someone to invite Pei Zhao. Even if Pei Zhao told me about these messy things in the officialdom for a long time, I still can't understand.
Coincidentally, Pei Zhao was not on duty today, and he actually invited him when he asked.
Today, Pei Zhao didn't wear armor, just the robe of a military attache. I've never seen him dressed like this. I've only met him a few times before. Most of the time, he was on duty in the East Palace, wearing light armor with a puncher. So when he walked in, I didn't really recognize him. Because his appearance was so different from usual, Sven had to look like a handsome scholar.
When he saw me and A'Du, he didn't move at all. The magistrate of Wannian County had long since greeted him from his seat, with a full smile on his face: "It is really a last resort to alarm the general."
