Chapter 89 Publicizing Wang Liang's crimes
The fat man Zhang Kuguan is now in a miserable state, which makes people feel unbearable to bet. He is still wearing the light green round-necked official robe, but at this time the official robe symbolizing his official identity has long been broken, and it has become stripes of blue-shaped clothes. His hair has long been left behind, his hair spread out and his hair disheveled. The fat face was covered with bloodstains at this time, and Li Jing could tell at a glance that it was the bloodstains whipped by a horse whip. And the dust and blood stains on his body. Li Jing probably was dragged by a horse along the way.
Seeing the fat man Zhang Kuguan's miserable appearance, Li Jing felt relieved for no reason. Although he felt that he was not the kind of person who would revenge, Li Jing still held a grudge about the fat man who used a carp to frame him in order to covet his own fields. Even on the way back home, Li Jing thought more than once that the first thing he did after he came back was to seek revenge on this fat man.
The mastermind who framed him was Wang Liang, but Wang Liang was already dead. Although this fat man was an accomplice, if he hadn't known that the fat man had not listened to Wang Liang and killed him later, Li Jing would probably have not been able to wait for today, so he would have found someone to take the fat man's life.
He had thought of dozens of ways to retaliate against the fat man, but he did not expect that this would be the case.
"General Cui Zhen, what is this?"
Cui Decheng is a general and Li Jing is also a general. However, Cui Decheng is a general in the county and town, while Li Jing is a general in the garrison town. He has the same name, but his powers are still very different. Cui Decheng is in charge of Chishan Military Town, guarding Chishan Harbor, and has three thousand soldiers under his command. It can be said that Dengzhou has the most soldiers, second only to Cui Zhang, the envoy of the Da Xie Fort. Cui Decheng is the general of Chishan Town and the envoy of the town. He is also the title of Pinglu Army Guard. The real name of the small Jiedu governor, Li Jing is just a general in the garrison army, and his subordinates are only one-tenth of Cui Decheng's troops.
However, when he was still in Dengzhou, Li Jing had already learned from Cui Yunqing that Cui Decheng was also a member of the Cui clan of Qinghe. Cui Yunqing was the direct descendant of the Qingzhou clan of the Cui clan of Qinghe, while Cui Decheng was a side branch of the main branch of Qinghe. According to generation, Cui Yunqing was also Cui Decheng's uncle. Although it was a bit far apart, in the officialdom, Cui Decheng followed Cui Yunqing, the uncle of Cui Yunqing. Cui Decheng was Cui Yunqing's nephew, and Li Jing was a disciple of Cui Yunqing. He called Li Jing before, but it also meant that he regarded Li Jing as his own.
"You are the disciple of my uncle. In terms of seniority, we are of the same generation. This is not a court. I can't help but be a little bit arrogant. Brother Ji Yu, I heard that the uncle has accepted an excellent disciple, and he is still from the neighborhood of Chishan Town. I originally wanted to go to Dengzhou to meet him, but I have been in business and can't take off my body. Today I heard that my brother is back and I'm here to come." Cui Decheng's appearance is very beastly, with a tiger-back, bear-waisted leopard head, and a beard all over his face. When he slapped Li Jing's shoulder with his thick big hand, Li Jing really doubted whether he wanted to get closer or taking the opportunity to kill someone.
Li Jing was actually not very happy about General Cui Zhen’s show of kindness. General Cui Zhen was a real power faction in Dengzhou. When Dengzhou was still in control, Chishan Town was a small vassal state, and Cui Decheng was also a small trumpet. Such a real power figure in charge of military affairs and a military general near his hometown, Li Jing was very willing to make friends with him.
"So, I will call you Brother Cui in the future. I first joined the army, and I will have to take care of Brother Cui in the future."
"Sure, certain." Cui Zhenjiang smiled and his beard was shaking. "By the way, I just learned that this thing that was worse than the pig and dog actually framed Brother Ji Yu. Fortunately, my brother is a good man and God helps him. Otherwise, my uncle would lose an excellent disciple, and I would also lose a brother who hit the ground. Today I specially brought this pig and dog and let you deal with it."
Li Jing remembered that Zhang Kuguan was the brother of Cui Zhenjiang's concubine, and the relationship should be very close. He beat Zhang Kuguan like this and brought him to the door again, but Li Jing was a little uncomfortable to deal with the fat man. He guessed in his heart that Cui Zhenjiang was actually protecting the fat man, otherwise why would Cui Zhenjiang have to be so troublesome? He directly cut off the fat man with one knife. Wouldn't it be more troublesome to bring the head?
He understood that this was Cui Zhen's show of kindness to him, so as to avoid the gap between the two of them due to the previous incident. Cui Zhen's troubles are so hard that he can't wipe out his face. But he was still a little unwilling to let him go so easily, and said immediately: "I wonder if I can awaken Zhang Kuguan, I have a few words to ask him."
"It's up to you, even if you want to kill and cut, it's up to your brother's wishes. Brother, I'm absolutely right. If you get such a pig or dog, your brother will be blind." Cui Zhen waved his hand and said boldly, but Li Jing saw that he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, which further confirmed Li Jing's thoughts about Cui Zhen.
"It's not convenient to ask questions here, so why not take him to the humble house for a question." Li Jing did this not only to protect the face of Cui Zhenjiang, but also to take this opportunity to deal with some follow-up problems left by Wang Liang's dog. Although Wang Liang was dead, no one knew what he did at the beginning. Not to mention that Han and the others regarded Wang Liang as their benefactor to save Li Jing, and even the fourth sister Wanjing was still engaged in a marriage contract with Wang Liang. When Li Jing left home, Li Jing did not say what Wang Liang was doing because he didn't want his family to bear it. Now that Wang Liang is dead, it's time to make this public.
Li Jing asked several coachmen to send out some gifts such as food, cloth, snacks and other gifts bought for the villagers in the same village one by one, and asked Xiao Shitou and others to temporarily place them under the village's community trees with the hungry people. They asked them to boil water and boil some white porridge first to fill the stomachs of these people.
Then he took Cui Decheng, Lin Wei, Li Huier, Yu Youniang and others into the village.
With a little excitement, Li Jing walked to the family members who were still standing in front of the village gate, and knelt down a little, kowtowed a few times in front of Han. I don’t know if it was because of this physical memory or the warmth he felt in this family, but now he really has an unspeakable sense of family warmth for Han and others. Having not seen him for more than a month, Han’s face became a little rosy, but the white hair on his head increased a little. When Li Jing kowtowed, she quickly bent down and hugged Li Jing, looking at Li Jing with concern, for fear that Li Jing would make something wrong.
"My mother, everything is fine, but my mother seems to be a little thinner. Didn't I ask Manager Wang to send money and food back last time?"
Han's face was full of smiles, and he saw with relief that Li Jing's body was still intact, but he was much stronger than when he went out. Although he felt a little darker, he became more mature and looked more like Li Jing's father who had been dead for many years. For a moment, his eyes became wet: "My son was worried that you would be in the army for the sake of your family. You will be in the army for more than a month. How could my mother not worry? She prayed to the Bodhisattva all day long, hoping that you would be safe and sound."
"It seems that the Bodhisattva was also moved by my mother to protect me. This time I went out and got all the help from noble people. Last night, I had already donated 100 kilograms of sesame oil at the Fahua Academy. Thank you for your protection."
Han wiped his eyes and looked at his son without seeing enough, saying, "Not only Ah Niang chanted scriptures and prayed to Buddha for you, but your wife and Wan'er also ate vegetarian food every day. In addition, your two sisters-in-law also ate vegetarian food for you and worship Buddha for you." He sighed again, "It's a pity that Wang Sanlang is so lifeless? Although the child had a lot of trouble before, he saved your life at the beginning. The fourth sister and the fourth sister just made a marriage, and he left without even making this marriage. What should you do in the future?"
Li Jing stroked Han and said, "Mom, I'm about to tell you about Wang Liang's affairs. Let's go home first, this matter needs to be explained in detail."
When he came to his home, Li Jing saw that the old set of seaweed yard with his own seaweed had a new look. After more than a month, the decaying ancestral house had been renovated. The white spire roof that originally grew wormwood on the roof was replaced with seaweed. Even the stone walls were painted with white gray outside.
The fifth sister Wanting had been lying behind her two sisters-in-laws, a little afraid of the friends Li Jing brought. When she entered the yard, she immediately became much more generous. Seeing Li Jing looking at the house, she smiled and said, "This room was repaired by Sister Yueying, and the seaweed on the roof has been replaced with new ones."
Li Jing nodded, smiled and reached out to touch her sister's head. Wanting was fourteen years old, and in another year she would reach the age of marriage, but in Li Jing's eyes, she always felt that she was just a little sister who should have been in junior high school.
"Brother Cui, Brother Lin, you all sit down. Today I would like to ask you to come and testify together." Li Jing invited all the people into the yard and introduced them to his family. When he heard that these were Li Jing's colleagues and brothers, Han was very happy to ask Wan'er to have tea. Since they were all brothers whose sons had been together, she spared the female relatives from avoiding them. When he heard that Li Huier and Yu Youniang were actually daughters dressed as men and still had such a noble background, a female relative in the Li family couldn't help but be stunned.
Especially Wang Guiniang seemed a little nervous. The fierce woman's eyes looked at Li Huier and Yu Youniang with a little hostility.
After everyone sat down, Li Jing went over and picked up Zhang Kuguan, who had woken up just now but was still unconscious. After glaring at Zhang Kuguan coldly, he said, "You put me in prison and almost ruined my family. But I think you are Brother Cui, so I will no longer investigate and retaliate. But today, in front of everyone, you will carefully tell me in detail about the first framed me. Let me say it, and you are not allowed to miss it at all."
The fat man's face trembled a few times, looked at Li Jing with a pale expression, and stuttered: "I was so ignorant of the dog's eyes that I had hit the young master. Now I admit that my son wants to kill and punish him. But the matter was not deliberately framed. It was because he misbelieve Wang Liang's nonsense, and he was obsessed with money and was confused by the lard, which would do that..."
