"I heard that my people pushed an innocent child into the river, so of course I want to come and see."
"Yes! General, please take your seat!"
"Is this the Wannian County Government Office, or please continue to try the case, this general will just sit in and listen."
"Yes Yes!"
The Wannian County magistrate questioned the plaintiff and the defendant all over again.
I find it really boring.
You Qi heard that the county magistrate said: "People are selfish, and they cherish their life the most. You don't know him, and you don't know the water, but you went into the water to save him. What is it? If you didn't push it down, why would you feel guilty? If you feel guilty, then you must be the one who pushed it down!"
I rolled my eyes wide at him again.
In the end, the two children insisted that I pushed the person into the water, and I flatly denied it.
Wannian County magistrate deliberately asked Pei Zhao in embarrassment: "General Pei, what do you think..."
Pei Zhao said: "I also ask the public to take the little girl to the back hall first, give her fruit cakes, and ask her to come out after I finish asking her brother."
The magistrate of Wannian County naturally agreed repeatedly. When the little girl was taken away, Pei Zhao asked the child who fell into the water: "You said just now that you were squatting by the water and playing in the water, but this person pushed you into the river."
The boy was not timid, but said, "Yes."
"Then she pushed you from behind?"
"Yes."
"Since she pushed you into the river from the front and back, and you have no eyes behind you, how do you know that she pushed you and not someone else?"
The boy opened his mouth and rolled his eyes: "I remember correctly, he pushed me from the front, and I fell into the river on my back."
"Oh, it turned out to be falling into the river on his back." After Pei Zhao asked, he turned around and said, "Your Majesty, take the child to change clothes, he is completely soaked, and if he doesn't change clothes, he is afraid that he will catch a cold and get sick. ."
The county magistrate ordered the boy who fell into the water to be taken away. Pei Zhao then ordered the girl to be brought to the hall, pointed at me, and asked, "You watched this man push your brother into the river?"
"it's him!"
"Then how did your brother squat by the river to play, how did she get pushed down?"
"Just like that, he pushed my brother, and he fell into the river."
Pei Zhao asked, "Did she push your brother's shoulder or your brother's vest?"
The little girl thought for a moment and said confidently, "He pushed my brother's back."
"Have you figured it out? Shoulder or vest?"
The little girl hesitated for a while and said, "Anyway, it's either the shoulders or the back. My brother squatted there. He walked over from behind and pushed my brother down."
Pei Zhao cupped his hands up and said, "Sir, I've finished my question. The two children have different confessions. The foreword doesn't match the last words, and there are many doubts. Please break it down."
The Wannian County magistrate's face was already red for a while, and he kept saying, "The general said yes!" He shot gavel and ordered someone to bring the boy up, and then scolded him for lying. The boy denied it at first. Later, the county magistrate threatened to beat him up. He finally cried and said that his parents lived by the river and they were doing this kind of trap.
He and his sister have been good since childhood, often pretending to fall into the water and trying to get someone to rescue them. When they were rescued, they insisted that they were pushed down. Unlucky, there will always be money for private use, because most people think that children can't lie, let alone make such absurd traps.
I was on the side, and I was dumbfounded. I didn't expect that there are such parents in the world, let alone that there are such traps in the world.
Pei Zhao said: "Now the truth is clear, my subordinates are being saved by the innocent, but I have a wish, the adults are clear, and this general will take these two away."
The county magistrate's face was ashamed, and he cupped his hands: "General please."
I said, "I still have something to say."
Pei Zhao glanced at me, I took a step forward, and said to the magistrate: "You said just now, people are selfish, and they cherish their lives the most. I don't know this child, and I don't know water, but I went into the water to save him. It's not my heart. What is it? This sentence is very wrong! I gave my life to save him because he was younger than me. I thought he fell into the water, so I didn't think much about it. Caring for the weak and saving people in danger should be the so-called righteous way. You cherish your own life, but you don't know that there are people in this world who will rescue other people without hesitation in the face of danger. You used to judge the case so confusedly and fined me, wouldn't you teach the world's good-hearted people to be bitter, and who will come forward next time? Saving people with righteousness? I dare not say how earth-shattering things I have done, but I dare to say that I have no regrets. Let me tell you, although I encountered a liar this time, next time I encounter such a thing, I will still save people first. !"
When I turned around and walked outside, the people watching the lively outside even clapped their hands, and some people applauded me.
With a smile on my face, I smugly bowed my hands to the applauding person.
Pei Zhao turned back and knocked at me, and I stuck out my tongue and quickly followed.
He originally came on horseback, and when I saw that his horse was extremely handsome, I couldn't help but cheer up: "General Pei, lend me this horse to ride for a while."
After leaving the court, Pei Zhao was very polite to me, and he said, "Sir, this horse has a bad temper. The last will choose another mount for you..."
Before he could finish speaking, I had already rolled over onto the horse, and the horse pursed its ears and neighed, very tame. Pei Zhao was slightly stunned, and said, "Young master is good at tactics. This horse has a very strong temperament. Ordinary people can't deal with it easily. Outside of the last commander, he will never let others approach him."
"This horse came from our tribute to Xiliang." I patted the horse's neck and caressed its long mane with infinite love, "I have a very good little red horse in Xiliang, and it should be seven years old now. already."
Pei Zhao ordered two more horses to come forward, one for A'Du and one for him to ride. I couldn't help cheering when I saw the movement of him turning over and getting on his horse. Our man from Xiliang pays the most attention to the kung fu on horseback. When Pei Zhao showed it, I knew he was a good player.
Because there were so many people on the street, I couldn't run the horse, so I could only walk forward slowly while holding the reins. Beijing was prosperous, the autumn atmosphere was refreshing, and the streets were full of people. Pei Zhao originally rode his horse and followed behind A'Du and I, but my horse was so close to him that he refused to go fast, and after a while we walked side by side. I sighed: "Today I opened my eyes. I didn't expect that there would be such parents and such traps in the world."
Pei Zhao smiled lightly: "People's hearts are sinister, the son must be more careful in the future."
"I can't be on guard." I said, "There are too many circles in the hearts of people in Beijing. All the girls in Xiliang have the same temperament, and their happiness and dissatisfaction are all on their faces. They want me to learn the same as the ones in Beijing. Like people, that would kill me."
Pei Zhao smiled faintly again.
I felt like I said something wrong, so I quickly added: "General Pei, you are different from them, you are a good person, I can see it."
"The son has won the prize."
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and my clothes were soaking wet. I was entangled in the Wannian County Office for a long time, and it was already half-dry, but my underwear was still wet. , could not help but sneezed.
Pei Zhao said, "There is an inn in front of you. If you don't dislike it, then you will buy some clothes for your son. How about putting on dry clothes before leaving? In such weather, wearing wet clothes may cause you to fall ill."
I remembered that A'Du was still wearing wet clothes, so I quickly agreed.
Pei Zhao accompanied us to the inn and asked for an upper room. After a while, he personally brought in two packs of clothes and said, "I will send all the people who I brought with me at the end, lest they see the flaw. I missed the track. The two of you please, the last commander is outside the door, just call if you have something."
He went out and slammed the door. A'Du inserted the door, and I opened the bag to see that, from the underwear to the jacket and even the shoes and socks, they were all brand new and neatly folded. After we changed into dry clothes, A'Du brushed my hair again. It's refreshing now.
I opened the door and greeted, "General Pei."
There was originally a corridor outside the door, and Pei Zhao stood at the other end of the corridor. Not seen for a while, he has also changed into ordinary clothes and tied his hair, more like a scholar. He looked out the window, as if he was looking at the street scene. Hearing my call, he turned his head and seemed to stare at me and A'Du a little dazedly.
I think he was thinking something because his eyes were a little strange. But soon he looked away and lowered his face slightly, "The last will escort the young master back."
"I finally slipped out, so I don't want to go back now!" I lay by the window, looking at the bustling long street, "Let's go to a bar, I know a place where a knife burns, and it's a pleasure to drink!"
"I'm under my responsibilities, I hope you will be considerate, please go back."
"You're not on duty today. So today you're not General Jinwu, and I'm not that concubine. Besides, I was unlucky enough today. I almost didn't drown, and I almost didn't get wronged by that confused magistrate of Wannian County. Die. If you don't drink a few glasses of wine to suppress your shock, it will be too suffocating."
Pei Zhao said, "For the sake of safety, I thought that I should escort you back."
I got so angry that I just lay on the window and ignored him. At this moment, my stomach rumbled, and I remembered that I hadn't even eaten lunch, and I was so hungry that my chest was on my back. Pei Zhao may have heard my stomach growl because he blushed. Originally he was standing several steps away from me, but the light from the window just shone on his face and I could see it clearly.
I've never seen a big man blushing and couldn't help but find it funny. He smiled and said, "General Pei, would you like to accompany me to eat something now?"
Pei Zhao pondered for a while before saying, "Yes."
I don't like his tone very much, it's unfamiliar and foreign. Maybe because he saved me twice, so I'm actually quite grateful to him.
A'Du and I took him through the narrow alley, turned eight turns, and finally reached Milo's restaurant.
As soon as Milo saw me, he rushed up affectionately, the tiny hairpins on her head rattled, and the golden bells on her ankles rustled. Milo put his arms around me and laughed with his tongue out: "I've left you two jars of good wine."
