Chapter 89: Exposing Wang Liang's Crimes
The fat man Zhang Kuguan is very miserable now, and the miserable ones are unbearable. He was still wearing the light green round-necked official robe, but at this time, the official robe that symbolized his official status had already been torn, and one by one it had become a strip of blue wisps. His head had long since been lost, and his hair was scattered in a bun, and his cloak was scattered. The white and fat face was full of blood marks at this time, and Li Jing could see at a glance that it was the blood marks of the horsewhip. and the dust and blood stains on his body, Li Jing estimated that he was dragged by horses all the way.
Looking at the miserable appearance of the fat man Zhang Kuguan now, Li Jing felt a burst of happiness for no reason. Although he felt that he was not the kind of person who would repay him, Li Jing still held a grudge against the fat man who used a carp to frame him in order to covet his own land. Even on the way back to his hometown, Li Jing thought more than once that the first thing he did after coming back was to seek revenge on the fat man.
The mastermind who framed him was Wang Liang, but Wang Liang is dead. Although this fat man is an accomplice, if he didn't know that the fat man didn't listen to Wang Liang's words and killed himself, Li Jing estimated that he wouldn't be able to wait for today, and he would have to find someone to take the fat man's dog's life.
He had thought of dozens of ways to get revenge on the fat man, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
"General Cui Zhen, what does this mean?"
Cui Decheng is a town general, and Li Jing is also a town general. However, Cui Decheng is the town general of the county town, and Li Jing is the town general of the town of Shu, with the same name, but the rights are still very different. Cui Decheng is in charge of the Chishan Military Town, guarding the Chishan Harbor, and has 3,000 soldiers under his command, which can be said to be the general with the most soldiers and horses in Dengzhou, second only to the soldiers and horses of Da Xie Yan and the envoy Cui Zhang. Cui Decheng served as the general of Chishan Town and the envoy of the town, and also hung the title of Pinglu Army. is a veritable envoy of the small section, but Li Jing is only a general in the army, and his men are only one-tenth of Cui Decheng's.
However, when he was still in Dengzhou, Li Jing had already learned from Cui Yunqing that Cui Decheng was also a member of the Cui clan of Qinghe, Cui Yunqing was a descendant of the Qingzhou house of the Qinghe Cui clan, and Cui Decheng was a side of the main branch of Qinghe. According to the generation, Cui Yunqing is still Cui Decheng's uncle, although it is a little far away, but in the officialdom, Cui Decheng is closely following Cui Yunqing's uncle. Cui Decheng is Cui Yunqing's nephew, Li Jing is Cui Yunqing's protégé, he previously called Li Jing's brother, but it also shows that he regards Li Jing as his own.
"You are my uncle's protégé, we are the same generation in terms of seniority, and this is not a public court, so it is inevitable that there will be some students in the official position. Brother Ji Yu, I have heard that Uncle Clan has accepted an excellent protégé, and he is still from the vicinity of Chishan Town. I originally wanted to go to Dengzhou to see him, but I have been on official business all the time, and I can't get out of it. Today, I heard that my brother is returning to my hometown, and my brother came here on purpose. "Cui Decheng's appearance is very brutal, with a tiger's back and a leopard's head, plus a full beard. When he slapped Li Jing on the shoulder with his big thick hand, Li Jing really wondered if he wanted to get closer to him or if he wanted to take the opportunity to kill.
For Cui Zhenjiang's overture, Li Jing actually didn't feel very happy in his heart. Cui Zhenjiang is the real power faction in Dengzhou, and when Dengzhou is still in the uncontrollable Jiedu Envoy, Chishan Town is a small feudal town, and he Cui Decheng is also a small Jiedu Envoy. Such a powerful soldier is also a military general near his hometown, Li Jing is very willing to befriend him.
"In this way, the little brother will call you Brother Cui in the future. The younger brother has just joined the army, and he will have to take care of Brother Cui in the future. ”
"Definitely, definitely." Choi Jin's face shook with a smile on his face. "By the way, I also just learned that this thing that is inferior to pigs and dogs actually framed Brother Ji Yu, but fortunately, Brother Ji was helped by God and was amnesty. Otherwise, my uncle will lose an excellent protégé, and I will have one less brother who is familiar at first sight. Today I have brought this pig and dog with you on purpose, and I will leave it at your disposal. ”
Li Jing remembered that Zhang Kuguan was the elder brother of General Cui Zhen's concubine, and the relationship should still be very close. He beat Zhang Kuguan like this and brought it to the door again, but Li Jing was a little difficult to deal with the fat man anymore. He guessed in his heart that General Cui Zhen actually still had some protection for the fat man, otherwise why would Cui Zhenjiang have to be so troublesome, he directly cut the fat man with a knife, wouldn't it be more convenient to bring the head of the person?
He understood that this was a gesture of favor to Cui Zhen to avoid a gap between the two of them because of the previous incident. Cui Zhen will bother so much, and he will not be able to wipe his face. But he was still a little unwilling to let go of this fat man so easily, and said at the moment: "I don't know if I can wake up Zhang Kuguan, the little brother has a few words to ask him." ”
"Whatever you want, if you want to kill or chop, it's all as your brother wills. Brother, I have nothing to say, out of such pigs and dogs, my brother is also gloomy. Cui Zhenjiang waved his hand and said proudly, but Li Jing observed that he seemed to be relieved, which confirmed Li Jing's thoughts about Cui Zhenjiang.
"It's not convenient to ask questions here, so it's better to take him to the cold house for questioning." Li Jing did this, not only to maintain Cui Zhenjiang's face, but also to take this opportunity to deal with some follow-up problems left by Wang Liang's dog. Although Wang Liang is dead, after all, what he did at the beginning has not been known to others. Not to mention the Han family, they all regard Wang Liang as the benefactor who saved Li Jing, and even the fourth sister Wanjing is still carrying a marriage contract with Wang Liang. When he left home, Li Jing didn't say anything about Wang Liang because he didn't want his family to bear this. Now that Wang Liang is dead, it's time to make this matter public.
Li Jing asked a few coachmen to send out a few carts of food, cloth, snacks and other gifts specially bought for the villagers in the same village, and asked Xiaoshi to temporarily settle under the village tree with the hungry people who came back. And let them boil water and cook some white porridge first, so as to fill the stomachs of these people.
Then he took Cui Decheng, Lin Wei, Li Huier, and Yu Youniang into the village.
Li Jing walked up to a few family members who were still standing in front of the village gate with some excitement, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed a few times in front of Han. I don't know if it's because of the memory of this body, or because of the warmth that Li Jing feels in this home, he does have an indescribable feeling of family warmth for Han and the others now. I haven't seen him for more than a month, and Han's face is more ruddy, but the gray hair on his head has increased a little. When Li Jing kowtowed, she hurriedly bent down and hugged Li Jing up, looking Li Jing up and down with concern, for fear that Li Jing would make a mistake.
"A-Niang, I'm fine, but A-Niang seems to be a little thinner. Didn't I ask the shopkeeper to send money and food back last time? ”
With a smile on his face, Han was relieved to see that Li Jing's body was still intact, but much stronger than when he left, although he felt darker, he was more mature, and he looked more like Li Jing's father, who had been dead for many years. I couldn't help but moisten my eyes for a while: "My mother is worried, you are in the army for the sake of your family, and it will be three or five hundred miles away, more than a month, how can A-Niang not worry." My mother prayed to the Bodhisattva all day long, hoping that you would be safe. ”
"It seems that the Bodhisattva was also moved by A-Niang to protect me, and this time I went out to get the help of nobles. Last night, my son had already gone to the Fahua Temple to donate 100 catties of sesame oil, thanks to the Bodhisattva's protection. ”
Han wiped his eyes, looked at his son as if he hadn't seen enough, and said, "Not only is A-Niang chanting scriptures and praying for Buddha for you, but your daughter-in-law and Wan'er also have fasting every day, and your two sisters-in-law also eat fasting and worship Buddha for you." Saying that, he sighed again: "It's a pity that Wang Sanlang is so short-lived, although that kid used to mess around, but he saved your life at the beginning." The fourth sister and him just set a marriage, and he left before this family became a relative, what will your fourth sister do in the future? ”
Li Jing stroked Han and said, "Mother, I was about to tell you about Wang Liang." Let's go home first, we'll have to talk about it. ”
After more than a month, the original decaying ancestral house was actually renovated, and the white spire on the roof with artemisia grass was all replaced with seaweed. Even the stone walls were painted with a layer of white plaster.
The fifth sister Wanting had been lying behind the two sisters-in-law just now, a little afraid of the friends brought by Li Jing. At this time, when he entered the courtyard gate, he immediately became much more generous, and when he saw Li Jing looking at the house, he said with a smile: "This house was repaired by Sister Yueying, and the seaweed on the roof has been replaced with new ones." ”
Li Jing nodded, smiled and reached out to touch his sister's head. Wanting is fourteen years old, and she will reach the age of marriage in another year, but in Li Jing's eyes, she always feels that she is just a little sister who should be in junior high school.
"Brother Cui, Brother Lin, you all sit, and I invite you to come and testify together today." Li Jing invited several people into the hospital, and then introduced them to his family. Hearing that these were Li Jing's colleagues and brothers, the Han family was very happy to let Wan'er serve tea. Since they are all brothers who have married their sons, she also exempts her female relatives from avoiding it. When they heard that Li Hui'er and Yu Youniang were actually daughters dressed as men, or with such noble backgrounds, a female family member of the Li family couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
In particular, Wang Guiniang was even more nervous, and the eyes of this spicy woman who looked at Li Huier and Yu Youniang actually began to be a little hostile.
Waiting for everyone to sit down, Li Jing went over and picked up Zhang Kuguan, who had woken up just now but was still pretending to be unconscious, and after glaring at Zhang Kuguan coldly, he said, "When you trapped me in prison, you almost ruined my family. But I read that you are Brother Cui's person, so I will no longer delve into revenge. But today, in front of everyone, you carefully explained in detail what you framed me in the first place. Say, don't miss a bit. ”
The fat on the fat man's face trembled a few times, looked at Li Jing with a pale expression, and stammered: "At the beginning, I didn't know Mount Tai with my dog's eyes, and I collided with Gongzi, and now Gongzi wants to kill and punish me, but the original thing is not deliberately framed, but it is really a mistaken belief in Wang Liang's nonsense for a while, and a moment of wealth obsessed with the heart, lard blindfolded heart will do that"
The fat man is very on the road, although he stammered, but he still told Li Jing in detail how Wang Liang framed Li Jing in the first place, how he came out, how he tried to seize the Li family's property, and how Wang Liang wanted to kill Li Jing, and so on.
