What crime is this? (Episode 69)
Ximen Qing had just finished teaching Hao Jian a lesson, and before half an hour was up, Hao Jian's revenge arrived. And this so-called revenge looked quite intimidating. There were over 100 people, all dressed in military attire, carrying long spears and clubs, with sharp knives hanging from their waists, looking like fierce and evil spirits. If it weren't for Zhu Tong and Lei Heng holding them back, these people would have probably erupted into a frenzy of attacks, hacking away wildly!
Such revenge, who can bear it, I guess only Ximen Qing could face it with a calm expression.
At the same time, Ximen Qing also truly realized why Song Jiang did not dare to easily move against Hao Jian.
With today's momentum, who dares to provoke Hao Jian? Provoking him would lead to being chopped by these soldiers until one's family is ruined and people are killed.
In today's Song Dynasty, which second-generation official dares to be so unscrupulous? Only Hao Jian dared to rely on his grandfather's reputation and let his father send troops to do such illegal things.
Yang Jie is who? He was the most favored official of Song Huizong, together with Tong Guan, they were known as the two great managers, absolutely a figure who dominated the court and the people. His status was no less than that of Gao Qiu, in terms of influence, at least he could be considered a Prime Minister! Hao Jian is his great-grandson, which can be regarded as a true second-generation official with a strong family background. Therefore, Hao Jian dared to show off his military power and prestige, recklessly disregarding anyone.
Ximen Qing was even more determined to get rid of this scourge after truly recognizing the harm caused by Hao Jian.
Ximen Qing's heart skipped a beat as he gazed at the scene before him, and an idea suddenly sprang into his mind.
Ximen Qing smiled and asked Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, "Both of you are here, I don't know what crime Ximen Qing has committed, that you two brothers would come to arrest me with such a big fanfare?"
Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were taken aback, exchanging a glance, with a hint of embarrassment flashing across their faces. They had never been particular about the charges before, just arresting people directly, but now that Ximen Qing asked, they were stumped.
Arresting someone must have a crime, and it must be handled according to the law. What crime did Ximen Qing commit? Is it just because he beat Hao Jian that soldiers were sent to arrest him? If so, then Zhu Da and Lei Zheng are truly lawless.
One sentence directly killed Zhu Tong and Lei Heng. Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were not very willing to come and capture in the first place, now after being scolded by Ximen Qing, the two of them really had nothing to say, they couldn't even fart. They also valued their faces, how could they refute after being scolded like this?
At this time, three people drilled out of the soldiers. They were exactly Zheng Da Sanren! These three people had blue noses and swollen faces, with a head full of sweat, looking like they had just been beaten by Hao Jian and rushed over in a hurry.
As soon as he came out, Zheng Da hastily shouted: "Zhu Toutou, Lei Toutou, why haven't you taken action yet? Young Master is waiting anxiously, if you make Young Master unhappy, you'll be in for a beating!"
Zheng Da would rather pull the tiger's head to show off, in order to regain some face at Hao Jian's place, he is now anxious enough to dare to call upon Zhu Tong and Lei Heng.
Zhu Tong was already unhappy, and now hearing Zheng Da's words made him even more indignant!
As soon as Zhu Tong's phoenix eyes swept over, a cold glint flashed in the corner of his eye, scaring Zheng Da so much that he shuddered and hastily shut his mouth.
Zhu Tong said in a cold voice, "Zheng Da, if you say one more word, I'll skin you alive! You dog, how dare you come and order me around? Let me tell you, if I were to get rid of you, Hao Jian would absolutely not object, and he'd even applaud and agree!"
Zheng Dalang nodded repeatedly, swallowed his saliva, and smiled fawningly: "Director Zhu is right, I was just momentarily anxious and misspoke. Director Zhu, the young master is still waiting, I'm afraid that if we delay any further, it will affect your standing in the young master's eyes. If someone with your abilities were to be suspected by the young master, it would truly be a case of 'the enemy rejoices at our misfortune and our friends suffer along with us'. This is something I absolutely do not want to see!"
"Get out!" Zhu Tong bellowed in a cold voice, not buying Zheng Da's flattery at all.
Then Zhu Tong pointed to Ximen Qing and said to Zheng Da, "The young master asked me to catch him, but he also asked me to say a reason. I, Zhu Tong, am a straightforward person and won't arrest people without reason. You have to tell me what crime he committed, then I can take action!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu gave Ximen Qing an apologetic look.
Everyone has their own position and duties. If it were an ordinary day, Zhu would definitely invite Ximen Qing for a drink and a chat, but today he had to offend Ximen Qing. Zhu had already secretly decided that if things were resolved today, he would definitely go to the door to apologize and ask for Ximen Qing's forgiveness.
Seeing Zhu's eyes, Ximen Qing smiled and nodded, also giving Zhu a reassuring look.
Zheng Dayi listened to Zhu Tong's words and suddenly became anxious, saying: "Zhu Doutou, you should know that this little brat actually hit the young master! Just for this crime, isn't it already a big deal? Moreover, the young master also said to catch the woman beside him and sell her to a brothel, let..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before Zheng Da finished speaking, Ximen Qing suddenly took a step forward and arrived in front of him, moving so quickly that even Zhu Tong was shocked and amazed.
Ximen Qing's face turned red with anger, and he directly gave Zheng Da three slaps in the face, sending him flying out. He flew for about five or six meters before crashing to the ground. Zheng Da's half of his face had turned a deep purple color, swollen to an alarming degree, almost comparable to a pig's head. The fallen Zheng Da was gasping for air, and it seemed that he had been slapped silly.
Ximen Qing glanced at Zheng Er and Zheng San, as well as the other soldiers, and coldly said: "Whoever dares to speak out of turn again, I will kill him!"
One angry for beauty, at this time Ximen Qing's murderous aura is overwhelming, even Zhu Tong and Lei Heng feel a sense of dread.
Similarly in their hearts, Zhu and Lei also greatly praised Ximen Qing's actions, secretly thinking what a good man!
As for others, they were so frightened that they didn't dare speak.
Just as the situation was somewhat stalemate, Hao Jian accompanied by Hao Ci also rushed over.
Hao Jian's face turned blue and swollen, with a resentful gaze at Ximen Qing, as if he wanted to bite him to death. But Hao Bian was not ashamed of having been the county magistrate for several years and had some city governance, so he directly said in a stern voice: "Zhu Toutou, Lei Toutou, what are you two still dawdling about? Quickly seize this wicked man who privately released the bandits!"
One sentence was enough to convict Ximen Qing of a serious crime.
Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other, somewhat hesitant and didn't make a move.
Song Jiang hastily stepped forward and said to Hao Chou, "County Magistrate, sir, the rebel leader is my guest, he just arrived in Yuncheng yesterday, how could he have secretly released bandits? Have you mistaken him?"
Hao Chong sneered and glanced at Song Jiang, saying: "Song Jiang, you've failed as a prison guard, entertaining a bandit. If it weren't for your usual diligence, I'd have you punished for colluding with the enemy today! Get out of my sight immediately! Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, what are you two waiting for? Are you going to defy this official's orders? Or perhaps you're also in cahoots with the bandit?"
