Liao Zhai Great Kind People

Chapter 107 Farewell Gift
When Ma Xianxing and Bai Jia were about to flee for their lives, Zhang Xiu ordered Yan Feng to arrest Dian Shi Wang Er and the thief back then, and to retry the case.

Soon, the two criminals were taken to the lobby.

Wang Er was at a loss, looking at Zhang Xiu's unfamiliar face, and said doubtfully, "You...you are not my master, who are you, how dare you sit in the position of my master?"

Zhang Xiu sneered: "I'm so blind, I don't even know my official, let's hit [-] big boards first!"

As he said that, a token was thrown out, and there were instant beating sounds in the lobby, as well as Wang Er's miserable cry.

After the twenty big boards were played, Zhang Xiu continued to ask, "Do you know who I am now?"

Wang Er burst into tears from the pain, and nodded in fright: "Got it, got it, you are the Grand Master, Qingtian Grand Master..."

Zhang Xiu nodded in satisfaction: "Wang Er, let me ask you! Sixteen years ago, did you accept three hundred cash from the person next to you to slander Miss Mei's innocence, causing her to hang herself!"

Wang Er was stunned for a long time, and finally recalled this matter, and said with a strange face: "My lord, you are here to reverse the case for that Mei girl? But the whole family of that Mei girl has already died. If you do this, it will be wrong to you." What's the benefit?"

Zhang Xiu patted the gavel and shouted: "This officer is asking you now!"

Wang Er was so frightened that he limped forward and came to Zhang Xiu's side. He quietly handed over a bank note under the table and said with a flattering smile, "My lord, this is for you from my little filial piety." .You worked hard on the case today, sent the thief kneeling under the hall to prison, and I invite you to go to Cuiyi Garden for a drink~"

Zhang Xiu glanced at him approvingly, put away the banknote, and said, "I'll accept the banknote, and I'll drink the wine myself. As for you..."

"Openly bribe the imperial court official, come here, pull it down and hit another [-] big boards!"

There was another cry of crying father and mother, and Wang Er was beaten to half his life, laying on the ground, moaning and panting heavily.

The thief on the side was trembling with fright, bowed his head and said: "My lord, I am wronged. The villain just bribed Wang Dianshi with three hundred coins to pray for his escape. As for the later vicious idea, it was Wang Dianshi who came up with it." , it has nothing to do with villains at all!"

Zhang Xiu looked at Wang Er and asked, "The facts are all there, what else do you have to say!"

Wang Er twitched his mouth in pain, and said weakly: "My lord, let alone that I didn't want to force that Mei girl to death. Just say that there is no official in the Hangzhou government who is not more ruthless and greedy than a villain." , everyone is an official in the same dynasty, why do you bother to catch my little mistake."

Zhang Xiu said coldly: "You are a dog official who is corrupt and perverts the law. If anyone can run out of the Hangzhou mansion, I, Zhang Xiu, write the word upside down!"

"The case is closed. Wang Er corrupted the law and designed to force Mei Nu to death. He is sentenced to confiscate the family property and be sentenced to death!"

"People commit crimes against the sixth child, burglary, bribe officials, falsely accuse Mei Nu of causing her death, and sentence her to death in court!"

"People outside the hall, if they have conclusive evidence of other officials in the Hangzhou government, they can all present it to the court! My official, Zhang Xiu, will return the Hangzhou government to a bright future today!"

When the words fell to the ground, Wang Er's eyes instantly lost their brilliance, and he murmured: "It's over, why did I meet this killer... This time it's really over..."

The people outside the lobby were in an uproar, some couldn't believe that there is actually a good official in this world? ?

It was the first time for them to see a good official at such a big age, it felt really strange!
Among the crowd, a strong man wearing a bamboo hat burst into tears, stared at Zhang Xiu with bloodshot eyes, and whispered, "Why didn't you come earlier, why didn't you come earlier... If you came a few years earlier, we How did elder brother get beaten to death by Mr. Zhuang..."

The brawny man in the crowd was named Xiang Gao, whose elder brother was beaten to death by the local rich and powerful Mr. Zhuang.

Xiang Gao was so sad and angry that he wrote a complaint and went to the county to sue.Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhuang had bribed the upper and lower officials, so that he could not get his justice.

Xiang Gao was angry and depressed, and no one told him that he only wanted to assassinate Mr. Zhuang, but the guards around Mr. Zhuang were highly skilled in martial arts, so he had no chance at all.

Later, during a heavy rain, he met a Taoist priest in a ruined temple. Seeing that his clothes were soaked by the rain, the Taoist lent him a piece of clothing.

Strange things happened right away, he who put on Taoist clothes turned into a fierce tiger!
Xiang Gao, who turned into a tiger, lurked by the roadside, and finally succeeded in killing Mr. Zhuang. The Taoist explained the whole story, and it turned out that he had been kind to him before, so he came to help.

After thanking the Taoist priest to Gao, he was afraid of the power of the banker and did not dare to go home, so he followed the refugees and turned into bandits, relying on his ability to transform into a tiger, he became the leader of a group of refugees.

Unexpectedly, in the past two years, the officials of the Hangzhou government have been acting recklessly, resulting in more and more refugees. His brothers now have reached [-] people. In order to prevent these people from being captured by the government and sent to the army, he can't think of rebelling... …

If Zhang Xiu had come a few years earlier, how would Mr. Zhuang dare to kill people in the street, and how could Xiang Gao have fallen into this state...

After standing outside the door to calm down for a moment, Xiang Gao smiled wryly, knowing his situation, he couldn't blame Zhang Xiu at all, walked into the back office, and saw Zhang Xiu who was interviewing the people and collecting evidence of corrupt officials.

"Caomin Xianggao, I have seen Master Qingtian!"

"Well, don't be too polite, who do you want to sue?"

"The grassroots will not sue anyone."

"Ok?"

Zhang Xiu took a few glances at Xiang Gao, saw the knife hidden under his clothes, and couldn't help frowning: "You have a sharp weapon, so you are here to assassinate me, right?"

Xiang Gao quickly waved his hand: "The grassroots dare not!"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, there was a trace of regret on his face: "It's a pity, if you were hired by someone to assassinate me, maybe I can still make more money."

"You don't know, Prime Minister Pang Tong and the others have sent five or six waves of people to assassinate me, and every time I can make a lot of money."

After Xiang Gao heard this, his cheeks twitched involuntarily: "@#￥%￥#@..."

The old master Qingtian in front of him really knows how to cheat... he knows how to keep flowing!
After a while, Xiang Gao came back to his senses and told the truth: "My lord, to be honest, I am a leader elected by the refugees in the mountains. This time I came to Hangzhou Mansion just for that dog official Baijia!"

"Bai Jia, a dog official, joined hands with two senior officials, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of Households, to embezzle public funds for repairing the embankment, causing 10,000+ villagers in Hangzhou to be homeless, and countless dead! It is a heinous crime!

I heard that he is about to go to Beijing to take up his post, and Ma Xianxing has also come here, so I came here to find out the truth and plan to kill him on the way! "

Zhang Xiu smiled, looked at him playfully and said, "If you tell me so frankly, aren't you afraid that I will arrest you?"

"Not afraid!"

Xiang Gao puffed his chest out and said, "The dog official has just run out of the city. Your lord, you are new here, and you are weak alone. Without my help, you will never be able to catch him!"

"And, even if you arrest me now, my brothers will cut him into pieces to vent their hatred!"

Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "Dare to do something, you really are a hero. I will give you a chance to redeem your sins. Go back and persuade the refugees on the mountain to come back. I promise to forget the past and redistribute the land and build houses for them." .”

Xiang Gao was startled when he heard the words, and then knelt down excitedly, "My lord, on behalf of the [-] villagers and elders on the mountain, I kowtow to you!"

Zhang Xiu grabbed him and said with a smile: "I have a kind heart, I don't want a man to kneel down. If you really want to thank me, don't cut Bai Jia and Ma Shangshu into pieces."

Xiang Gao's face changed: "Your Excellency, you want me to let go of those two dog officials?"

Zhang Xiu shook her head, sighed and said: "I am the most emotional person, I was an official with them at the same time, now they are leaving, I can't see them off in person, I am deeply regretful.

What I mean is, you bring two knives for me, make up a total of ten thousand and two knives, and treat it as a farewell gift from me to them. "

Xiang Gao was completely taken aback: "@#￥%￥#@..."

Such a farewell gift is really... fresh and refined!
