Chapter 668: Ma Chao's trial
Ordinary county order judgments, especially important criminal cases, take at least ten months. However, for Ma Chao, this kind of thing is just enough: after ordering the single, the shadow lurking here immediately placed the file of Xu Shu's assassination of the Yang family bully on Ma Chao's desk.
However, Ma Chao was almost not interested in taking a look at those cases. In fact, for him, these case files are just tools for him to clear Xu Shu's name. Even if the Yang family did not bully others and harm one party, they did not bully Xu Shu's friends, resulting in the destruction of Xu Shu's friends' family. That's also very simple, as long as Ma Chao instructs him a little, the Yang family's crimes that have not been committed will be ironclad!
In troubled times, there is no need to talk about justice and heavenly principles at all. Especially a person like Ma Chao who formulates laws and decrees is born to jump out of the chaos of the world and righteousness - righteousness and morality are just tools for these princes to decorate the faΓ§ade and educate the people.
At this time, Ma Chao's attention was completely on Xu Shu under the lobby. At this time, Xu Shu did not have the grace of a Confucian scholar and a guide to the country, but he was unkempt and scarred, and the hero's downfall was unbearable. Fortunately, Ma Chao saw that Xu Shu's eyes still occasionally bloomed with a glimmer of light, and his ambition was obviously not extinguished.
However, more often, Xu Shu's eyes were still gloomy and confused. Presumably, the imprisonment was a great shock to Xu Shu's thoughts: he may be wondering if his ill-fated fate can still realize his ambition
"Xu Fu, who fled before being imprisoned and changed his name to Xu Shu, is a native of Yangren County, Yingchuan. When he was a teenager, he admired the martial arts warriors who were jealous and hateful, helping the needy, and determined to be a hero who stood up to the sky. In order to realize this ambition, he studied art from a young age, practiced martial arts, made friends with fellow knights, and discussed and learned various genres of art. After learning something, he regarded himself as a benevolent man, traveled all over the world, and did chivalrous and good deeds to eliminate violence and peace, and help the needy. Not long, the name of the young chivalrous Xu Fu is known far and near. Ma Chao opened the first page of the dossier and read out Xu Shu's resume and life aloud. After reading this, he inadvertently glanced at Xu Shu.
At this time, Xu Shu, after listening to Ma Chao's words, the corners of his mouth grinned with a hint of a smile. seems to miss the time when he was unruly and indulgent. And the person who complained to Ma Chao before hurriedly said: "General Tian's eyes are like lightning, such an anecdote can't escape the general's ears and eyes."
Although this is a compliment, the timing is just right. Even though Ma Chao heard his compliment, his body and mind were still light. However, when Ma Chao glanced at the man, he began to pay attention to the man in his heart: this person risked his life to avenge Xu Shu's grievances, because he had the courage; It is wise to say that Xu Shu is virtuous and leaves himself in Yangren County with his thirst for talent; At this time, it can be seen that this person is also well versed in psychology, if he was a lawyer in his previous life, he would be absolutely more than enough for this person, and it is impossible to be just a grass people!
As a result, Ma Chao's expression remained unchanged and continued to read Xu Shu's resume. But his mind has gradually been placed on Xu Shu and that person. As for the county magistrate with legs like chaff and the head of the Yang family with a good face, Ma Chao was really lazy to bother with a distraction.
In the last years of Zhongping, Xu Shu's friends and the wealthy Yang family had a grudge over the property, and the Yang family bought the county order of Yangren County, tampered with the land deed, and sought to seize the land property of Xu Shu's friend, and even more seized his daughter as a concubine, and ruined the family. When he was helpless, he asked the young man Xu Shu to avenge him. Xu Shu gave the order, smeared his face with white clay, broke into the Yang family alone, and stabbed the Yang family's villains to death with a sword" Thinking of this, Ma Chao's face gradually became solemn. Because the deeds since then are not in line with the history books!
"Xu Shu changed his name and fled to Jingzhou alone, bid farewell to his friends in martial arts, abandoned swords, guns, swords, and halberds, worshiped Mr. Shui Jing Pang Degong as his teacher, and devoted himself to studying?" After reading this, Ma Chao's voice became more and more strange. couldn't help but glance at Xu Shu again before continuing to read: "When I first entered the school, my classmates learned that Xu Shu had violated the ban with martial arts and was unwilling to associate with him. Xu Shu didn't mind this, and still went his own way and studied tirelessly. Later, because of his diligent study and talent, his reputation gradually rose in the school. In addition, he is loyal and sincere, open-minded and generous, and soon got the understanding of Shui Jing and his classmates. During his studies in the school, he had similar interests with Shi Tao in the same county and became close friends. β
After reading this passage, Ma Chao couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: In history, after Xu Shu stabbed the Yang family villain, he was immediately surrounded by a large number of officials who rushed to hear the news. Because he was outnumbered, he was captured. But in this time and space that is becoming more and more detached from the historical trajectory, Xu Shu actually killed the Yang family's villains five years ago, and even escaped to Jingzhou unscathed to study and so on! Five years ago? Five years ago, I didn't cross over at all! And the rest
Could it be that when Liu Xie crossed over, he did not cross over on the first A.D. like himself, but in the year 188 A.D.? So in 188, he did an extremely small thing, which caused the butterfly effect, and inadvertently changed Xu Shu's fate?!
Otherwise, how do you explain what is happening at hand? Or is it that the history books originally remembered Xu Shu's life resume wrongly?!
Ma Chao's face gradually became solemn, and he squeezed the file in his hand fiercely, almost wanting to pinch the few pieces of Fufeng paper. And when everyone in the hall saw Ma Chao's strange yin owl, they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the inexplicable Ma Chao.
However, after a while, Ma Chao returned to normal. even, he smiled sincerely: After he was stoned to death by a bag of potatoes, Liu Xie and the beautiful accountant came to the warehouse and were immediately stoned to death by the shelves. In other words, Liu Xie died after himself, and the crossing may also be a year ahead of schedule!
Otherwise, who would be able to contact the Time Travel Authority and ask them what the rules of this time travel operation were?!
Moreover, this is still a great good thing for the current Ma Chao: before Xu Shu went to school, he was just a ranger, and for the Ma family, there is really no more, and one less is not less. And after studying, Xu Shu is a top strategist who is full of wealth and strategy, such a person is the extremely scarce resource of the Ma family!
What's more, after studying, Xu Shu also brought Shi Tao to himself! - There is no need to speculate, the person who avenged Ma Chao must be Shi Tao Shi Guangyuan! Otherwise, how could that person give up his life to beg himself to save Xu Shu? And because of this, how could Ma Chao not smile so brightly?
"Shi Tao, Shi Guangyuan, you are really hidden very deeply" Ma Chao put down the file, slowly walked down the person who avenged the grievance, and after walking in a circle, he spoke: "I suspected before that the person who avenged me was the one who asked Xu Shu to take revenge back then." Later, when I saw Xu Shu's study, coupled with Mr.'s step-by-step strategy, I was forced to stay in Yangren to rescue Xu Shu, so I thought that this person must be a person who is well versed in strategy, so at this moment, in addition to Shi Tao, Shi Guangyuan, who else can show such a subtle trick? β
"Huh?" When the county magistrate heard Ma Chao say this, he couldn't help but be shocked and said: "General, the person who asked Xu Shu to kill people at the beginning was not called Shi Tao, but Shi Yin, who had been buried in the sea of fire with the Shi family!" β
"Tao, the sword clothes are also, the edge is restrained, and the meaning is not exposed. Although Shi Tao and Shi Yin have different sounds, they have the same meaning. Ma Chao glanced at the person who avenged the grievance again, looked at his flashing eyes, and continued: "Am I right, Shi Yin? β
"The general's eyes are like lightning," Shi Tao bowed to the ground, and finally said convincingly.
ps: There are two more shifts in the evening.
