Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 195
Zhang Baisui fell to the ground with a "plop", not knowing whether he was alive or dead.Zhang Fu'an's little Yicheng, where has he seen such a formation?His whole body was like sifting chaff, his mouth was trembling, and he couldn't cry.

Admiral Zhang, Yan Zongbing, and Wang Zongbing are all from the military. Although they can't be said to have experienced hundreds of battles, they are also common for bleeding dead.Yan Zongbing squatted down and touched Zhang Baisui's neck. His pulse was still beating, so he probably just passed out.

Chu Yu was startled by the shrill voice just now, and pulled Cao Yong's sleeve a little uneasy.

Admiral Zhang and Zongbing Yan wanted to see what was going on, but the princess and the concubine were still there, feeling quite embarrassed, and shouted again: "Ah!" He crossed his arms and ran along to the sound.

Cao Yong wanted to go over to have a look, but seeing that Chu Yu was by his side, he turned around and wanted to order Cao Song to send Chu Yu there first, but after seeing it, there was no sign of Cao Song?
Although Wang Zongbing stayed at Cao Yong's side, he rubbed his hands and stretched his head to look in the direction everyone left.

Cao Yong only felt the warmth of his palm, Chu Yu had already quietly held his hand, and said in a low voice: "My son-in-law, let's go and have a look too!"

Cao Yong didn't want to answer at first, but seeing Chu Yu's worried look, he nodded.

Station, kitchen.

The ground was in a mess, rice noodles were scattered all over the floor, and there were half-cut tofu and vegetables on the chopping board.A woman in filial piety was pressed in front of the stove, her clothes were ripped off, and a man in his thirties looked ferocious and acted violently.

There was a clear slap mark on the woman's face, her expression was numb, her eyes were very empty, and she couldn't see any vitality.In the corner, huddled a little girl who was also dressed in plain filial piety, about eight or nine years old, only shivering, her face was full of tears, and her eyes were full of panic.

Admiral Zhang, Zongbing Yan, and Cao Song arrived with this scene in mind.Although when hearing the yelling, everyone already thought that it was rape or robbery, but when they saw it with their own eyes, they were still very angry.Admiral Zhang and Zongbing Yan took a step back, Cao Song had already stepped forward and grabbed the back of the neck, pulling the man up.

The man was tall and strong, smelled of alcohol, he had poured many jars of wine, but his hands were still unambiguous. Although he was suddenly dragged up when he was having fun, he immediately reacted, pushed Cao Song with one hand, and pulled out his waist with the other. The knife in the room cursed uncleanly: "Damn it, I haven't been to Beijing for three years, has the world changed? Little brat, dare to meddle in my business, look at me, I've abolished you!"

Cao Song let go and pulled out the knife. Although he wished to chop this person up immediately, but when he glanced at the insulted woman, she seemed to be stupid and didn't know how to pack her clothes. Lying like that, the scene is really embarrassing.Cao Song tore off his cloak, shook it off and threw it over the woman.

The man was so angry that he was spoiled, he swung his knife and slashed at Cao Song.Zongbing Yan who was at the side rushed up, he was also very skillful, he snatched the man's knife empty-handed, pushed the man back a few steps and sternly asked: "Who are you, so bold and reckless, how dare you Rape a woman?"

"Monkey boy, you..." The man was halfway through speaking, his drunken eyes suddenly saw the official uniform on Yan Zongbing's body, he stopped his voice immediately, his mind was half awakened, he quickly pulled up his pants, gathered his clothes, and said with a smile : "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this little girl is greedy for money and deliberately seduces brothers!"

Zongbing Yan snorted coldly: "Really? Since it's not a good family, why does this woman still shout for help?"

The man hurriedly laughed and said: "This...it's the fuck, this girl is so greedy for money. The brothers have negotiated three taels of silver, and when they are about to start, the dead girl actually wants to double it again. She really doesn't know how to flatter her! ..."

While talking, Cao Yong and Chu Yu also arrived, Cao Yong saw the situation inside was dire, immediately stood in front of Chu Yu, and wanted to call Cao Song to send Chu Yu back.

The man had already seen Chu Yu, his eyes lit up, although he didn't dare to be too presumptuous because he saw the other party's rich and expensive clothes, but his eyes were still sticking to Chu Yu's body with an indescribably disgusting expression.Cao Yong was annoyed, glared at him, and opened his mouth to call Cao Song to come over.

Cao Song had already sensed that the woman on the ground was not right, and these people didn't see the woman moving, or tightening her clothes, and their eyes were lax.Hearing Cao Yong calling him, he quickly pointed to the woman, and said to Cao Yong: "Brother, she, she seems to be dead!"

Wei Hei was following behind Cao Yong, heard the words and went up to check, then nodded to Cao Yong.

The man was just taking advantage of the strength of the drink, and was anxious for a moment. Now that these people in official uniforms bumped into him, he was a little flustered, and he forced a smile, and said: "Who knew that this bitch can't help but fuck? I can't blame my brother!"

Everyone was even annoyed when they heard him say that, who would believe his nonsense!Admiral Zhang just wanted to ask someone to take him down, but he was wrong after thinking about it, he was not the one with the highest official position, needless to say the princess, the princess' forehead is equivalent to the first rank of Wu, one level higher than him.Therefore, they look to Cao Yong.

With a cold face, Cao Yong asked Cao Song to come over and escort Chu Yu back. Seeing Chu Yu's worried face, he comforted her in a low voice, and watched her go.Then he turned around and glanced at the terrified, shivering little girl by the corner. He hated this man even more, for allowing such a young girl to witness such a scene with her own eyes!

The little girl kept staring at the woman's body on the ground, opening and closing her mouth, as if muttering something.

Cao Yong walked over, the little girl seemed to be very afraid of people, and immediately leaned against the corner in panic.Cao Yong stopped a few steps away from her, tried to slow down his tone, and said kindly to the little girl: "Don't be afraid, is this person lying?"

The little girl's tears rolled down, she was sobbing but she couldn't cry out, she couldn't speak, she just trembled in shock.

Cao Yong seemingly casually said: "That woman is really pitiful, she will bear the stigma even if she dies!"

At the beginning, the man behind just looked at Zongbing Yan and Admiral Zhang wearing official uniforms, and felt jealous in his heart. Now when he heard Cao Yong, a boy in plain uniform, say this, he couldn't help being furious. The little girl in the corner mumbled a sentence.

Everyone didn't hear clearly the first time, but the second time it was true, the little girl repeated repeatedly: "Er Niang...Er Niang didn't ask for money...I didn't ask for money..."

Everyone looked at the man with cold eyes, full of disdain.

The man's complexion changed a few times, and finally he laughed twice, he was not as restrained as before, but he stood up straight and said: "This little girl is slandering my brother, adults, don't take it seriously. My brother-in-law is Pingyang Lieutenant general, this trip to Beijing is also a reward, and the same few are colleagues. Hey, I will not hide from the adults, my brother-in-law is not an ordinary person, the eighth master has always valued him, and he is also comparable to other masters .Today can be regarded as fate, I have to meet a few adults, if there is any need for help in the future, just ask!"

Regardless of whether his words were bragging or not, Admiral Zhang and the others felt a little scrupulous because of the mention of "Baye".When they came out of the capital, they naturally knew that it would be a matter of time before the prince's downfall, and if there is a "virtuous" among the elder brothers, then the "eighth master" will be the crown prince.It is not worthwhile to offend the future emperor because of a woman from the mountains.

The little girl seemed to have regained her strength, and she no longer repeated the Erniang's words over and over again, and she also lost the fear she had before. Seeing a few people talking and ignoring her, she trembled and sneaked up to the woman. Next to the dead body, weeping.

Cao Yong looked at the man and said coldly: "Whether your brother-in-law is a lieutenant general or is valued by the eighth elder brother, what has it to do with you? In the law of the Qing Dynasty, which one says that the brother-in-law of the lieutenant general can kill without paying for his life?" It is the lieutenant who broke the law, and he must be dealt with according to the law."

That man had suppressed the admirals of Zhang, and he was a little proud of himself. When he heard what Cao Yong said, he poked his neck and stared at him, and was about to curse: "Wu..." As soon as he said a word, Wei Hei flicked a big ear scraper, bit his tongue and couldn't speak.

"Good fight!" At this time, someone applauded at the door, and a man in his 40s came in. He made a serious face and glanced at the man lightly.

The man's legs softened, and he knelt down unconsciously: "Sister...brother-in-law...I don't dare anymore, so please forgive me!"

The middle-aged man looked at the man: "It's really strange, why didn't I know when I was valued by some eighth master? And I can also climb up to other masters?"

The man kneeling seemed to be afraid that his brother-in-law would be too scared, so he stretched out his hand and scratched his two big ears, while slapping himself, he said: "Look at my stinky mouth, brother-in-law, don't you know me? I can do it the most on weekdays." How can you take it seriously?"

The middle-aged man ignored the brother-in-law, looked at the woman's body on the ground, then looked at the little girl crying next to him, and said: "This young man is right, killing people for life is justified, and I will send you to Wushu tomorrow morning." Qing county government!"

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, my sister is only my brother. For the sake of my sister who is gone, please forgive me again! I will never dare again!" The man no longer had the previous rascal appearance, suddenly Crying like a child.

The middle-aged man couldn't help trembling with anger when he saw him making such a fool of himself. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the man, wanting to scold him a few more words, but finally felt that it was boring, sighed heavily, turned around and clasped his fists like Admiral Zhang and said: " Zuo Shiyong, deputy general of Pingyang, Zhejiang Province, met three adults. His family education was not strict, and he was ashamed to harass a few adults. I dare not show favoritism. Tomorrow, I will send this beast to the county government for justice. I will also invite several adults to be witnesses !"

Admiral Zhang saw that although Zuo Shiyong was somewhat rebellious, but his face was upright, not like a treacherous person, he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic in his heart.In this post station, there are many officials who have come to Beijing. If this matter gets to the ears of a censor, even if Zuo Shi never favors this brother-in-law, at least one crime of "lack of family management" will not escape, let alone promotion , even this rank of deputy general may not be able to keep.

Seeing that Zuo Shiyong only recognized official uniforms, Wang Zongbing was afraid that Cao Yong would be embarrassed, so he said, "Master Zuo, this is Cao Ye, the son-in-law of Jiangnan Caozhi."

When he heard "Cao Weaving", Zuo Shiyong's face showed a strange expression, and then he greeted Cao Yong with a little bluntness.

Although Cao Yong was not in the mood to deal with him, he still had all the etiquette, and then asked the little girl: "Do you have other family members?"

The little girl was so crying that she couldn't speak, and there were footsteps outside the door.Zhang Fu'an and Zhang Baisui's uncle and nephew led a few people over. They were two half-year-old boys supporting a skinny man. It was Chen Hongdao, the former prefect of Qingyang Prefecture who came before Cao Yong and his two sons.

Seeing the miserable state of the woman on the ground, Chen Hongdao almost passed out.One of the two teenagers helped his father, and the other went to pick up the little girl.

"How do you say this, how do you say this, why does God have no eyes, this good man is not rewarded!" Zhang Fu'an looked at the tragic situation of the Chen family, and felt indignant in his heart, and couldn't help nagging in a low voice for two sentence.

Zuo Shiyong knew that the sufferer had arrived, and his face was full of shame, he stepped forward two steps and cupped his hands and said: "I'm really sorry, Zuo has made an apology to some of you here!"

Chen Hongdao closed his eyes, his teeth were chattering, and he was speechless, while the older boy clenched his fists, wishing to overthrow the person in front of him, and said bitterly: "Everyone is gone, a word of 'I'm sorry' is enough Arrived?"

Zuo Shiyong didn't think it was disobedient, and said again: "This compensation money, Zuo Mou will ask someone to prepare it immediately, and it will be delivered later!"

"Bah! Who cares about your dirty silver? Human life is exchanged for silver?" The young man looked at everyone in the room with resentment, stared at Admiral Zhang and the others, and cursed: "Officials protect each other. , nothing good!"

Cao Yong saw that this family was all wearing filial piety except for the sick man. He had just experienced bereavement and experienced these again. He couldn't blame them for being so angry, so he lowered his eyelids silently.

Admiral Zhang and the others also saw Xiaofu, although they were dissatisfied with the young man's violent words, but firstly, seeing him value filial piety; secondly, the incident of this woman really made people angry; thirdly, after all, Cao Yong has the highest grade here. Dare to speak out again?So a few people kept silent, eyes glanced at Cao Yong.

After the young man finished cursing, he said to Chen Hongdao: "Father, let's go back first!"

Chen Hongdao stabilized his emotions, and shook his head: "For my father, I will not leave, for my father, I don't believe that there is no justice in this world!" Having said this, his expression showed a bit of fortitude, and he said to Zuo Shiyong: "Chen Hongdao in Xiayizhou , Excuse me, my lord, what is going on?
