513.Chapter 513: The Real Zheng Tu
Rao was like this, Guan's father was still a little depressed in his heart, and he died not long after returning home.
Speaking of this, the villager said with some indignation: "That Zheng Tu is also a pure filial person, and he is extremely friendly to us outsiders. ”
He just said a few bad words to Guan's father, but he didn't want Guan Wu to kill Zheng Tu after he came back. Isn't it too overbearing to act like this? ”
In the past, Wen Zhao and others heard that Guan Wu was good, and Zheng Tu was annoying. But I didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret.
Of course, Wen Zhao would not believe that Zheng Tu was a good person just after hearing this person's words.
He said goodbye to the villager and selected a few outsiders. There are two people who don't want to provoke right and wrong, neither saying that Guan Wu is good, nor that Zheng Tu is bad.
Rao is like this, and there are still two people who say things, similar to the villager in front of him. It was only at this time that Wen Zhao sorted out the causes and consequences of this case.
Let's first say that Guan Wu killed Zheng Tu on the street because Zheng Tu insulted his father, which caused Guan's father to die of depression.
The reason why Zheng Tu was quite disrespectful to the government in his words was also because Guan Wu was looking for someone to beat Zheng Tu, which caused Zheng Tu to hold a grudge.
Guan Wu led people to beat Zheng Tu because the people of his own clan had a quarrel with Zheng Tu, and Zheng Tu beat the Guan Wu people by relying on his strength.
The reason why Zheng Tu had a quarrel with the Guanwu people was, in the final analysis, the result of the local people in Guanjia Village and the rejection of outsiders.
In other words, the reason for this matter is still the locals of Guanjia Village.
In the final analysis, Zheng Tu was ostracized by others, so it was understandable that he beat people in anger; Guan Wu avenged his clansmen and led people to beat Zheng Tu, which was also due to righteousness.
Zheng Tu was beaten and scolded Guan's father with a grudge, which is also reasonable; In the end, Guan Wu avenged his father and killed people in anger, and there was no mistake in his position.
If you carefully examine this case, you will find that if you stand in their own positions, everyone has an excuse for what they have done. So in this case, who is right and who is wrong, and whether the county decree's trial of Guan Wu is reasonable?
In the end, Wen Zhao took Dian Wei and others to Zheng Tu's house. At this time, Zheng Tu's family was still holding a funeral, white cloths were hung everywhere next to the mourning hall, and faint cries came from the courtyard.
Because Zheng Tu's family had a bad relationship with the local people of Guanjia Village, Zheng Tu died, but no one from Guanjia Village came to visit. Even those outsiders don't want to get into trouble.
Of course, there are still some more righteous outsiders who help Zheng's mother handle her son's funeral. It's just that on the whole, there are not many people in the Zheng family's compound.
"Knock knock!"
Zheng's mother, who was dressed in mourning clothes, touched her tears and went to open the door after hearing the sound of someone knocking on the door. When she saw Wen Zhao and the others, there was a light of fear and hatred in her eyes.
In the past few days, although she has been talking about her son's funeral, she has also heard that Guan Yu has become a big official, and she wants to find a relationship to clear Guan Wu's name.
In the eyes of Zheng's mother, the revenge of killing a son is not shared, and anyone who wants to excuse the murderer is the enemy of the Zheng family.
However, when she saw Chen Xu and the others who were fully armed, and then thought of the three hundred murderous cavalry, she always felt a little palpitating.
Mother Zheng hoarsely said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Chen Xu said gently: "Yuanyuan, we are here to investigate this case, don't you invite us in?" ”
Mother Zheng's face immediately changed when she heard this, and she said sharply: "Guan Wu's bastard killed my son on the street and committed a serious crime, what else is there to investigate?" ”
Feeling the old woman's strong hostility, Wen Zhao thought about it for a while, and then understood her worries.
Wen Zhao immediately said: "Don't misunderstand, I didn't come this time to exonerate Guan Wu." Moreover, the state has national laws, and the family has family rules, if Guan Wu really violates the law, even if the general is there in person, he cannot be cleared of the crime. ”
"I waited for this rash visit just to learn about the life and deeds of the deceased."
Hearing that they were not here to clear Guan Wu's name, Zheng Mu quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Don't look at her so aggressive, in fact, she is just bluffing, and she is a little inward-looking.
If these people in front of them really use the power in their hands to exonerate Guan Wu, a murderer, Zheng Mu will have no choice.
Thinking of her tragic death of her son and her young granddaughter, the old woman's eyes suddenly turned red, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
She wiped away a handful of tears and said, "Generals, my son died so miserably and unjustly, you must not let go of the murderer." ”
Seeing the old man's sad appearance, Wen Zhao immediately said: "Please rest assured, this matter will definitely give you justice." ”
When Zheng's mother heard this, she invited a few people into the house. After Wen Zhao came in, he saw a little girl of seven or eight years old, although she was not very delicate, she was also very strong and cute.
After seeing a stranger come in, the little girl glanced at Wen Zhao and the others timidly, and ran to other houses.
After the old woman beckoned Wen Zhao and the others to sit down, she wiped her tears and said, "My son was killed, leaving only the old woman and that little granddaughter. I really don't know how to live the days to come. ”
The more Zheng Mu thought about it, the more sad she became, and she couldn't stop her tears at all.
Wen Zhao and the others comforted Zheng's mother for a while, and only after her emotions slowly calmed down did they begin to ask about Zheng Tu.
"I inquired in the community, and some people said that Zheng Tu was a person of pure filial piety, and he was also very friendly to those outsiders in Guanjia Village, but what is the matter?"
Zheng's mother nodded vigorously and began to tell her son's deeds.
Zheng Tu's family was originally from Luoyang, and their living conditions were not bad. However, after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he burned Luoyang and forcibly relocated the people of Luoyang to Chang'an.
Zheng's mother's husband died in the process of migration, leaving only Zheng's mother and the teenage Zheng Tu.
After arriving in Chang'an, although I was worried about every day, my life began to stabilize slowly.
Until Dong Zhuo died, Li Dao and Guo Yan led their troops to break through Chang'an, and under the chaos, they had to take the opportunity to escape and prepare to return to their hometown Luoyang.
Later, Zheng Tu rescued a woman on the road and took her as his wife, and the family of three hid in the mountains. This hiding is a few years.
During the great famine, Zheng Tu's family couldn't survive in the mountains, so they were forced to go down the mountain, and Zheng Tu's daughter-in-law was also starved to death.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the general to take charge of the pass, and their lives began to improve. Zheng Tu's family of three also settled in Understanding County.
"My son is such a dutiful man that if he had not left the rations for me and my granddaughter during the famine, we would have starved to death. As for him, he fainted from hunger several times. ”
"He's a friendly person, as long as no one bothers him, my son will never bully people."
