Beating the drum to voice grievances, ascending to the hall to ask about the case, that is something that only happens in the play, not only Chen Zikun, but even Chen Shou and his group of subordinates are interested, their eyes are shining, and they seem to have the meaning of making a cameo appearance in a dynasty Mahan, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu.

Chen Zikun said: "In this case, follow me to take a look." After saying that, Long Xinghu stepped out of the second hall and led a group of fierce hats straight to the gate of the county ya.

The gate was crowded with people, but there was no sound, countless pairs of eyes stared closely into the lobby, and when they saw the escort in military uniform, swords and riding boots appeared, there was a slight commotion.

The drum is played by Li Juren, the little old man holds the drumstick and beats the drum hard, this drum is not simple, a few days ago in the battle to resist the bandits' attack played a great role in boosting morale, today to return to his own work, the drum is still loud.

Behind Li Juren knelt a large group of people wearing linen and wearing filial piety, all of whom were relatives and helpers of the Li family, and when they saw Chen Zikun appear, they immediately cried, and Li Juren even threw the drumstick and knelt down: "My lord, I am wronged." ”

Chen Zikun's eyes were quick, and he helped Li Juren: "Master Juren, how to do this great gift?" You are a meritorious person, you don't have to be that way. ”

Li Judao: "Now that the Republic of China is over, the old rules are no longer prosperous, I am a lifter of the former Qing Dynasty, an official of the Republic of China, and it is justified." ”

Chen Zikun looked at the braid hanging from the back of Li Juren's head, suddenly smiled and let go of his hand.

This made Li Juren very embarrassed, kneeling is not, not kneeling, he is just pretending, how do you know that Chen Zikun came with such a hand, his heart was horizontal, he still knelt down again, took out the form from his arms and shouted: "My lord, the people are wronged." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Where did your injustice come from? ”

Li Judao: "I sued Nie Jinku for raping my daughter-in-law, causing her to commit suicide by hanging the beam, and I hope that the adults will avenge the small people." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Left and right! ”

A group of bandits crossed their waists and shouted, "Yes! "The stance looks like it's already in the play.

Chen Zikun said: "Take the form and ascend to the seat!" ”

The county government hall, which had been silent for a while, was lively again, and dozens of murderous live bandits acted as the officials who stood on duty, wearing hats and holding water and fire sticks, and the atmosphere above the public hall was solemn, just like the Yama Treasure Palace.

Chen Zikun sat behind the public seat in military uniform, with Chief of Staff Yan standing on the side, and behind him were two orderly soldiers with box guns hanging on their waists, taking the form from Li Juren's hands.

The form was written by a well-known lawyer in this county, with strict specifications and clear organization, which can be called a model of the form, but unfortunately Chen Zikun is a Qiu Ba, and he doesn't know how to appreciate the beauty of the form at all. ”

Nie Jinku was escorted up, and after being detained overnight, his eyes were red, his mouth was even more crooked, and he pointed at Chen Zikun and scolded: "The surname is Chen, you fucking dare to fuck me!" ”

Chen Zikun slapped the shocked wood again: "Palm mouth!" He took a bamboo skewer from the bottle and threw it over, Chen Shou took it in the air, and started pumping it from side to side according to Nie Jinku's mouth, and hit it down, his face was full of blood.

"Alright." Chen Zikun stopped and continued to ask: "Nie Jinku, you raped the people's daughter Li He in the Li Mansion yesterday, can there be such a thing?" ”

Nie Jinku's front teeth were knocked out, but his arrogance did not diminish at all, and he jumped to his feet and scolded: "The surname is Chen, Sun Dujun will not let you go!" ”

"Fight again!" Chen Zikun drew another lottery and threw it over, thought about it and added: "Hit the board, let's kill the power stick first!" ”

As soon as Chen Shou waved his hand, two wolf-like bandits rushed up, kicked Nie Jinku to the ground, took off his pants and held it down, and the other two picked up the water and fire sticks and beat them down according to their buttocks.

The bandits are not professional servants, and they don't have a heavy stroke, and after more than 20 strokes, Nie Jinku fainted, Li Juren looked relieved, jumped on the side and scolded, and pouted his pigtails: "God-damned beasts, it's not too much to cut with a thousand knives." ”

The people watching outside were boiling, and the miserable howl of Nie Jinku encouraged them, since the regiment commander can be punished, let alone the evil soldiers below, and countless voices sounded for a while: "My lord, I am wronged." ”

Chen Zikun said: "There are grievances to be avenged, there are revenge and revenge, one by one." ”

The people poured into the lobby, knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, chattering endlessly about the sins created by the eleventh regiment, Chen Zikun felt that his ears were buzzing, his brain was messed up, and he picked up the shocking wood and patted it.

With a "snap", the whole world was quiet, and the bitter masters all looked at the Qingtian Lord blankly.

"Come with me." Chen Zikun got out of the public seat, walked out of the lobby, and went straight to the outer courtyard of the county government, and the common people followed closely and came to the side of the outer courtyard prison, and Chen Zikun ordered the prisoners of the 11th Regiment to be taken out in groups of ten people for the common people to recognize people.

Now it can be lively, the bitter masters saw that the murderer of their relatives was in front of them, and immediately pounced on them to tear and beat and abuse, and the murderers who were recognized were all like ashes, trembling, the courtyard was full of people, and the walls and trees were full of people watching the excitement.

Among the more than 300 captives, 13 murderers were singled out, 27 raped people's girls, and more than 80 robbed property.

Chen Zikun asked his subordinates to tie up all the forty murderers and blindfold them with a black cloth, as soon as Chen Shou heard this, he immediately became overjoyed and personally led people to carry it out, and the county magistrate Liu asked tremblingly: "Protector, you don't want to shoot them, do you?" ”

"I haven't decided whether to shoot or behead." Chen Zikun answered him seriously.

Liu Youjin shuddered, forty lives, kill if you say kill, this courage, the thief is ruthless.

It didn't take much effort, and after the prisoners were tied up, Chen Shou stepped forward and said: "Ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, it used to be officers and soldiers who killed us, but now it is finally our turn to kill them." ”

Chen Zikun said: "This is not a vendetta, this is called Ming Zheng's punishment, what, let everyone be quiet, I want to say two words." ”

At this time, hundreds of people had gathered in the county government compound, and it was difficult to make noise, Chen Shou shouted a few times to no avail, so he simply pulled out the box gun and fired three times into the sky, and it was suddenly a lot quieter, but there were still many people whispering.

Chen Zikun jumped on a table, glanced around, and said, "Folks." ”

The scene gradually fell silent.

"I wasn't at home yesterday, the eleventh regiment of dogs raped and plundered, bad things were done, and everyone suffered, as the Jiangbei Protector Envoy, I failed to protect everyone, it was my dereliction of duty, and I apologized to everyone here!"

As he spoke, Chen Zikun bowed deeply.

The courtyard was silent, except for the whimper of the wind.

When Chen Zikun raised his head, his grief and anger had been replaced by murderous aura, and he said loudly: "The Jiangbei Protector Army Embassy Office has a place of appeasement and the responsibility of restraining soldiers, and the 11th Regiment has committed heinous crimes in my jurisdiction. ”

"Yes!" Dozens of black-clothed hatsters crossed their hands on their waists and responded majestically.

"Shoot these forty black herds, and punish them as an example."

"Yes!" The bandits first pulled ten officers and soldiers to the root of the wall, lined up to face the wall, and Chen Shou gave an order: "Prepare!" ”

There was a clattering sound of pulling bolts, and ten rifles were raised in unison.

"Put!"

There was a deafening gunshot, and ten corpses fell under the wall, Chen Shou stepped forward and kicked to see who was not dead, and gave another shot.

The sound of gunfire frightened the remaining thirty officers and soldiers waiting to be executed, they were either stunned, or crying, or kneeling and begging for mercy, but the adrenaline of the common people stimulated by the gunshots and blood rose sharply, thunderous cheers, applause, facing the angry ocean, Nie Jinku, who had just woken up, quickly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be dead.

Ten at a time, four times in a row, rivers of blood flowed at the base of the wall, mountains of corpses, and large swarms of green-headed flies gathered around, crawling on the fresh corpses, enjoying this cruel feast.

Next came the more than 80 officers and soldiers who robbed property, and the death penalty could not be escaped, and each of them had a hundred military sticks recorded in the account first, and slowly counted with them.

The military sticks were also beaten, and the people were shot, and the evil anger that the people held in their hearts all disappeared with the sound of the gunshots, but it was replaced by the deep love and awe for the protector Chen Daren.

"Lord Chen, Qingtian~~~" A white-bearded old man knelt down tremblingly, as if the dominoes had fallen, and all the people in the courtyard knelt down, and shouted Lord Qingtian.

Chen Zikun stepped forward to help him: "Old man, please get up quickly, it is my duty to protect the country and the people, at your age, I am terrible to lose my life." ”

The old man said: "You are Nantai's parent official, and you can afford to worship the little old man." ”

Chen Zikun said with a smile: "This is wrong, my parents are the magistrate of Liu County, I am the envoy of the army, he is in charge of the people, I am in charge of the army, it is different." ”

The old man said: "Enforce the law impartially and avenge the people of Limin, you are the master of Qingtian, and you can afford this worship." ”

Chen Zikun laughed, helped the old man up, comforted him with kind words, and finally said: "Everyone's lost property, you can go to County Magistrate Liu tomorrow to collect it, and it's all scattered." ”

The common people dispersed one after another, Li Juren and a group of people who wore linen and filial piety did not leave, nor did they stay, everyone's case was closed, and the injustice of their daughter-in-law had not yet been avenged.

"Li Juren, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for your family's case, please go back." Chan ordered the eviction of customers.

Li Juren didn't dare to say much, now Chen Zikun is a murderous demon king in his eyes, and he left with his family in a hurry, and the smell of blood in the courtyard is too strong to stand it.

The sun was shining in the sky, the blood at the root of the wall was already in a semi-coagulated state, and the green-headed flies were still happy to do it, and a few flies crawled onto the face of Nie Jinku, who was pretending to be dead, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Alright, don't pretend, get up, it's hot in the sun." Chan said.

Nie Jinku opened his eyes and saw that the man who had killed forty of his subordinates at one time was sitting leisurely in the shade of a tree tasting sour plum soup, and his military uniform was also taken off, wearing only a white shirt.

"Spare your life~~" Nie Jinku knelt on the ground, tears flowed, kowtowing like pounding garlic, "The lowly duty knows that it is wrong, and the lowly duty does not dare." ”

Chen Zikun smiled and said, "Come on, show Captain Nie a seat and serve tea." ”

Nie Jinku was like falling into a fog for five miles, and he didn't understand what medicine was sold in Chen Zikun's gourd.
