Why should I give way to the red cloud?

Chapter 154 Killing by mistake

When Jiang Ziya fished in Fenxi, he didn't use bait, he didn't use hooks, and he didn't put the hook into the water. This fishing method like a fool attracted many people to watch.

When many people pointed at him, he knew that he had changed his hand, and if he didn't show his hand, others would only regard him as a fool.

At this time, a woodcutter walked by and saw Jiang Ziya fishing by the river, and he was behaving strangely, so he became curious.

He put the firewood on his shoulders, and squatted beside Jiang Ziya to watch him fish.

Jiang Ziya glanced at the woodcutter, and after a little deduction, he knew what happened to the woodcutter recently. He knew that the woodcutter would accidentally kill someone, and he had a relationship with him as a mentor.

The woodcutter looked at it for a while and then asked, "Old man, you can still catch fish if you fish like this? What's the difference between this and me chopping wood on a wooden board?"

"Hehehehe, what you chop is firewood, but what the old man catches is people! You can't compare them!" Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and said.

"Fishing people? Is the old man looking for someone? Why don't you go directly to him?" the woodcutter asked curiously.

"No, no, what is easy to get is often not cherished, the old man wants him to invite him in person!"

"Come here in person? Is the old man a great sage?" The woodcutter didn't think Jiang Ziya was arrogant. He always felt that this old man with some unusual behavior was not simple.

"Your name is Wuji?" Jiang Ziya answered irrelevantly.

"Huh? Why does the old man know my name?" Wu Ji asked in surprise.

"I know astronomy first, geography second, and everything that happened in the past 500 years is in my eyes! Knowing your name, it's not surprising!" Jiang Ziya said nonchalantly.

"Oh? Old man, do the math, what will happen if I go to the city to sell firewood today?" Wu Ji asked.

"You? You are in disaster! You will kill people if you enter the city!" Jiang Ziya glanced at Wuji and said.

"I will kill people? How could I! I haven't even killed a chicken, how can I kill people? The old man really knows how to lie!" Wu Ji looked disbelieving, feeling bored, and planned to leave.

"Young man, if you have any difficulties, you can find me in that thatched cottage!" Jiang Ziya said, pointing to his own thatched cottage by the river.

"Thank you, old man, for your kindness, but I never argue with others, so why would I kill someone?" Wu Ji didn't take it seriously, and left on his own.

Jiang Ziya didn't take it seriously, anyway, he would speak with facts after a while.

Wuji came to Xiqi City, sold the firewood, and was about to go back with his pole. Suddenly, a poor horse with no owner ran past. After falling down, the pole in his hand hit the back of the head of a passing pedestrian behind him.

The passer-by died without making a sound.

Wu Ji's face changed, and he quickly checked the situation of this passerby, only to find that the popularity of this passerby was gone.

"Killed! I really killed someone!" Wu Ji's face turned pale, his lips trembled. Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziya was right, he really killed someone!

"Killed! This person killed! Report to the officer!"

"Quickly report to the police! Don't let him escape!"

People on the road saw that Wu Ji had killed someone and rushed to report to the police.

Soon, the official came.

After some investigation and evidence collection, the official came to Wu Ji who was still in a daze at this time.

"Wuji, after investigation, you have committed homicide, witnesses and evidence are gathered, come with us!"

"No, no! My lord, I didn't do it on purpose! I can't go to jail! I can't die! There are more than 80 old mothers in my family who need to take care of them! If I'm not here, the mother who has no one to rely on can't live for a few days. My lord!" Wu Ji begged for mercy while struggling.

"It is stipulated by the law of the country that murder is paid for life. You are indeed manslaughter, but it is also a human life! According to the laws of the Great Zhou, you should be executed!" The leader of the official said blankly.

"My lord, my 80-plus-year-old mother, she also has a life! If I die, no one will take care of me, and I will starve to death at home! I hope you have mercy!" Wu Ji begged.

"This..." The leading official was also a little embarrassed. He also knew that Wu Ji was quite innocent, but killing is killing, and he was also very embarrassed.

"My lord, the king is not far away to inspect the people's situation, how about we let the king make a judgment?" The official next to him suggested.

"Row!"

A group of officials brought Wuji to Jichang. Hearing about the case, Jichang sympathized with Wuji's experience and appreciated Wuji's filial piety, but the law of the country cannot be abolished.

"Wuji, I think you are quite filial, and you are also a loyal and honest person, but the laws of the country cannot be abolished, and you cannot be lenient because of what happened to you. However, the time of execution can be extended." Ji Chang said, using a stick He drew a circle on the ground and continued: "My king calculated that your mother still has three years of lifespan. How about you go home now, after taking care of your mother to the end, return to this circle, and execute the sentence three years later?"

"Thank you, Dawang, for being lenient. After I send my mother to her death, I will definitely come to be tortured!" Wu Kit was overjoyed after hearing this, and quickly agreed.

Ji Chang let Wu Ji leave.

The attendant next to him asked: "My lord, are you not worried that this person will never return?"

"I don't think this person is a man who doesn't keep his word, and if he wants to run away, he won't be able to escape this king's plan!" Ji Chang said confidently.

When Ji Chang returned to Xiqi, his heart ached for the death of his son Bo Yikao, and he wanted revenge. However, although the current Western Zhou Dynasty is the strongest among the 800 million princes, it is still inferior to the national power of the Great Shang. There are many, so Ji Chang is thirsty for talents, and looks for sages and strangers everywhere.

Wu Ji walked back with a sad face, and suddenly he thought of Jiang Ziya's words.

"Immortal! Old immortal! This old man must be an immortal!" Wu Ji hurriedly ran towards Fenxi.

Wu Ji regretted endlessly in his heart, he only scolded himself why he didn't listen to others, and now he has committed a serious crime of murder.

Returning to the place where Jiang Ziya was fishing, Wu Ji found that Jiang Ziya had disappeared.

Feeling lost in my heart, I suddenly remembered that Jiang Ziya said that if you have any difficulties, you can go to the thatched cottage by the river to find him.

Wu Kit looked around and found a small thatched hut by the river in the distance, and hurried to the thatched hut.

When he came to the thatched hut, Wu Ji rushed in. As soon as he entered, he knelt on the ground and shouted: "Old fairy! Old fairy, save me!"

"Are you here?" Jiang Ziya was offering incense to the portrait of his master Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Wu Ji has no eyes but does not know the superior person, the old god has clever tricks, after Wu Ji entered the city, he accidentally killed someone, please ask the old god to help!" Wu Ji kowtowed like garlic.

"It's okay to save you, but you need to worship me as your teacher first!" Jiang Ziya said.
