Chapter 105 Crime and Punishment, Right and Wrong!
"Today I found the bandit soldiers. They belonged to the King of the Taiping Army. They wanted to pass through Yangchang County. They fought and killed all the prisoners. They took advantage of the victory to chase the north, and the last general...the one who applied for the top, the power of heaven spread far and wide, the mad bandits were defeated, and the general Yanchen..."

As Ma Xinyi wrote, he stopped writing.

He put the brush aside, and read the words and ink on the victory report word by word, and then his brows became more and more wrinkled, and the old horse crumpled the paper and threw it away.

Huhu.

Taking a deep breath, Ma Xinyi is a dignified judge, of course he knows that the good news cannot be written like this.

Killing King Ying and King Yi, how did it become a matter of rejoicing in the end?

It was a good plan, but the white plain paper that was rewarded with credit was stained.

Ma Xinyi had a headache.

He rubbed his wrists a little tiredly, grabbed the strong tea beside him, and took a sip.

At this time, it was late at night, and the official road outside Yangchang County, the bloody and muddy battlefield had been cleaned up.

But the old horse couldn't sleep, mainly because of Zhang Wenxiang's affairs, which made him feel embarrassed, drank a bowl of blood wine together, Huang Tianhoutu swore, he didn't expect that the scene of brothers killing brothers would be staged so soon.

A dim oil lamp cast half light on his face.

dong dong.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

The voice of the confidant boy sounded outside: "My lord, it's the third watch."

Ma Xinyi tidied up his clothes, wrapped in a plain robe, opened the door unhurriedly and walked out.

……

County government dungeon.

Zhang Wenxiang's hands were bound by iron chains. Baizhi's ecstasy medicine worked, but it was not enough. There were always some people who were born with special constitutions and peculiar fates, and ordinary medicines could not harm them.

Bai Zhi was arrested, how could Zhang Wenxiang be willing to leave?
Zhang Wenxiang actually made several preparations.

If the King of England did not keep his promise and killed wantonly after entering the city, he would ignite the explosives buried at the door, and they would die together, and the brotherhood would be complete.

If King Ying kept his promise, he would take this opportunity to draw a line with Lao Ma and Lin Dong, let him go, escape from this cage, and after leaving Yangchang County, he would simply live in seclusion with Bai Zhi in the future.

For this reason, when he left the city, he even refused the King of England's second solicitation.

"I lied to you once, are you not afraid that I lied to you a second time?"

Zhang Wenxiang asked Chen Yucheng this way.

"It was Brother Ni who lied to me, not you! Besides, hatred in one person's eyes cannot be faked."

A faint smile appeared on that gloomy face, and Chen Yucheng's appearance did not reveal the past of defeat at all.

Chen Yucheng and Zhang Wenxiang squatted side by side, their temperaments were very similar.

At that time, Chen Yucheng was still holding a piece of dog's tail grass in his mouth, and said casually-"I believe in you, Zhang Wenxiang." With such words, in the pale moonlight, the Chen Ziwang banner fluttered in the wind.

The sound of treading footsteps brought Zhang Wenxiang back from his contemplation.

"It seems that we are going to be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks."

He smiled wryly.

Bai Zhi at the side lowered her head, did not speak, her eyes were uncertain.

"I don't think so."

Ma Xinyi's gloomy voice came out from the dark corridor of the prison.

Zhang Wenxiang looked back, and saw Ma Xinyi walking out of the shadow of the dungeon, his eyes wide open, and there seemed to be a white-fronted tiger with eyes hanging behind him, which was extremely ferocious.

"Brother Ma, for the sake of watching a bowl of blood wine..."

Before Zhang Wenxiang could speak, Bai Zhi who was beside him suddenly rushed to speak, begging for mercy.

At this time, Ma Xinyi interrupted her directly.

"Good second sister, you don't have to intercede for Wenxiang, I'm here to cut off justice with you."

These words can be described as ruthless to the extreme.

No matter how unbearable Zhang Wenxiang was, he said viciously: "Bai Zhi, why do you beg him, Ma Xinyi is a man who never cares about affection, he only cares about power, I only hate that he was blind when he recruited, and he shouldn't have recruited a vicious dog for the village."

Humph.

Ma Xinyi snorted coldly, without saying much, took out a dagger and cut off a section of sleeve robe in front of the two of them.

A piece of rag fluttered out of the plain robe.

"Have you seen it? Take this as proof."

"At the beginning, I was able to get things done through the cottage, but I have never lost a penny to my brothers, and I have never left any money on my body. But what I have gained, I will distribute it to the people below."

"If you want to succeed, how can you not sacrifice!"

"Someone followed me and suffered misfortune. It's his bad luck. There are more brothers who can live a good life... You can't just stare at one or two unlucky ghosts."

"Besides, if you ask them, who would not like to follow me?"

"You opened the city gate and caused a catastrophe. I don't know if you were out of anger or for other reasons. It doesn't matter. Your root script is not correct, and in the future, it will only become a stain on my official robe."

"It's not too much to drag you out, Ling Chi!"

Ma Xinyi's words became more and more serious, but his face became calmer.

Bai Zhi's face turned pale when he heard that, while Zhang Wenxiang was staring at the old horse like a beast stuck in the mud.

"However, I won't kill you."

The conversation suddenly changed.

Ma Xinyi shook his hand, threw out a bunch of keys, and landed on the straw in the cell without any sound.

"Two miles away from the city gate, there is a small boat that passes along the Qingshui River. It can sail directly out of the Shucheng area. It is your freedom to go north or south. Remember, we are no longer brothers. Next time we meet, life and death will be divided."

After finishing what he wanted to say, the old horse turned around and left silently.

……

The night wind blows the sails.

The sky is full of stars.

Zhang Wenxiang took Bai Zhi's little hand to board the boat, but unexpectedly escaped to the riverside without any danger along the way.

And there happened to be an unmanned boat on the river bank.

"Am I really wrong?"

Zhang Wenxiang couldn't help but think so.

"What Heavenly Father and Brother Heavenly Brother and I have to do is to have fields to cultivate together, food to eat together, clothes to wear together, and money to work together. Is it wrong to make the world equal?"

At a time of desperation, the King of England, Chen Yucheng, talked about his ideals and the ideals of the army in front of a round of white moon.

But the reality is!

"I let them have a house to live in, clothes to wear, money to spend, and I don't have a penny on me. Whenever there is a war, I will take the lead. How can they not love me?"

"I took them to Yangzhou City, to the Forbidden City, to see scenery that many people would never see in their lifetime? How could they not listen to my orders?"

"You are the owner of a cottage, but can you bring them these?"

"So that they don't have to worry about fear, so that they can have enough food and clothing every day, even if they die in battle, the pension money is enough for a family of three to spend all day long?"

"can you do it?"

"Do you want to be rich, do you want to be a master? How did they respond?"

"I want it!"

Shout out louder than ever.

Zhang Wenxiang was extremely confused for a while, who was at fault between the Taiping Army and the elder brother?

Who is right?

"The boat is sailing."

Bai Zhi yelled softly, grabbed the oars with both hands, paddled the boat lightly, and the boat was filled with waves.

Under the stars and the moon, the boat carried a pair of lovers, as if far away from the world.

"Horses have the righteousness of falling down the river, dogs have the grace of wet grass...the sika deer are in groups when they see food, and the unrighteous people are the most hateful."

Ma Xinyi stood on the bank of the river, staring at the two gradually shrinking figures on the boat, and murmured softly.

"You just let them go?"

In the shadows, Chen Desheng held his silver-like Fenghuohun iron arm, and said coldly.

Ma Xinyi smiled contemptuously and said: "Otherwise, what else can be done? Mr. Yuan wants to use a tainted Ma. My official career is bumpy. If I borrow my brother's head to erect a golden body for myself, how can Mr. Yuan dare to reuse it for me? Stains are not necessarily a bad thing, so Mr. Yuan can put me in jail, right?"

……

"You can't let the second brother be so happy, can you?"

"I made a mistake, so I just exposed it lightly? Is it me who beat people to death? It's me who fought bloody battles again and again, and it's still me who was beaten to the point of bleeding by Wing King Shi Dakai?"

"It's too much for him to travel around the rivers and lakes with beauties?"

"If you make mistakes and don't punish them, why do you deserve credit?"

Lin Dong unhurriedly took off the big bow on his back, and then pulled out one from the quiver at his waist, the veins on the back of his hand swelled.

Ma Xinyi didn't intend to stop him at all.

Whoosh!
The string is drawn to the full moon, the bow is opened and an arrow flies out.

The roar of the arrow piercing through the air was astonishing, like a rolling thunder resounding on the surface of the river.

Zhang Wenxiang frowned suddenly on the river, sensing the danger.

at the same time.

"do not want!"

Zhang Wenxiang roared.

Bai Zhi dropped the left and right oars, kicked her legs and jumped forward.

Swish!
It was originally an arrow shot at Zhang Wenxiang's chest and abdomen, but it pierced Bai Zhi's body, and a small bloody flower scattered.

Zhang Wenxiang stared at the bow-holding figure on the bank in disbelief.

"I have a bad temper!"

"I said, you will regret it."

……

"Lin Yuanjue!"

There was a violent sound on the boat, roaring hoarsely.

In the end, it was not Ma Xinyi who did it, but Lin Dong.

"Stains, there can be many, look slowly, the thief chief who should be killed should not be let go, Lord Ma, you should learn from Brother Lin."

On the side, Chen Desheng, who was looking through the binoculars, spoke softly, with an unpredictable expression on his face.

Ma Xinyi was as motionless as a clay sculpture and a wood sculpture, the sky was full of stars, bright and bright, no one knew what he was thinking.

On the second day, Master Zhang, Zhang Wenxiang, who opened the city gate privately with disheveled hair, making it difficult to see his face, was executed at the entrance of the vegetable market. His head collapsed and his blood spattered three feet.

……

That night.

Pfft!

Until the figure on the river bank is far away.

Bai Zhi squirted out a mouthful of blood that had been contained in advance, and pulled out the soft arrowhead of glutinous rice.

"You, are you okay?"

Weeping Zhang Wenxiang looked at the figure lying in his arms in astonishment.

"fool."

Bai Zhi patted him lightly, thought for a while, and said in a gentle voice: "Eldest brother and third younger brother are good people."
