"Ho, ho..."
Zhou Pingchun's eyes widened and protruded, staring at Li Ang in disbelief. There was a muddy sound in his throat, and his fingers were filled with blood foam.
He stood up from the ground in a panic, staggered back a few steps, and waved his scarlet palms aimlessly for help. However, all the villagers seemed to be insulated from him and backed away one after another.
Plop.
Zhou Pingchun fell to his knees with a pale face, his silk clothes embroidered with money patterns were stained with blood and mud, and his rickety body looked so short.
"well..."
Cheng Juxiu let out a long sigh and waved his sword, and the long sword at his waist sprang out from the sheath, turning into a blurry green shadow whose trajectory could not be seen clearly, and flew around Zhou Pingchun's neck lightly.
sand--
Zhou Pingchun's head was raised and thrown into the sky, and was split into two by the flying sword in mid-air.
Together with the headless body, he fell heavily into the mud.
"Squire Zhou Pingchun killed other people, breed demons, and deserved his death! On May 20th of the third year of Zaiqian, he was executed in the east of Shatao Village, Zhenzhou City!"
Cheng Juxiu's decisive voice echoed in the mountain col shrouded in the morning sun.
————
In the evening, carriages marked with the Zhenfusi logo drove through the streets of Zhenzhou City.
The laughter of children chasing each other, the cries of street vendors, the chatter of customers bargaining, and the whistling of boatmen on the river. Everything was just like yesterday, calm and peaceful.
It's like nothing happened.
Squeak.
The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance to the backyard of the security hall.
Li Ang silently jumped out of the vehicle, without the Nightmare Bell in his hand and the leather armor on his body - these things had been returned to the Fusi of Zhenzhou Town and sealed again.
"The sun rises."
Cheng Juxiu got off the carriage, glanced at Li Ang who was silent with some worry, and sighed: "Niu Wenshu and I have prepared the records of the Zhenfu Division for you.
These days, just study at home and prepare for the Academy entrance exam."
"Senior brother,"
Li Ang raised his head, stared at the slowly fluttering green wicker branches, and said softly: "Should I not kill Zhou Pingchun?"
"...You guys are scumbags, so just kill them."
Cheng Juxiu also stared at the lush willow trees across the street and said: "The accomplices who assisted Zhou Pingchun in harming others will also be sentenced according to their seriousness.
Exile to hanging.
After being counted, the ill-gotten wealth obtained by Zhou Pingchun's family through killing people will be distributed to Gan Xiaoer and other villagers in Shatao Village.
If Gan Xiaoer no longer wants to live in Shatao Village, he can live with Wang Liubao or be adopted by the Zhenfu Division.
In addition, I will report the matter regarding Princess Anle.
However, it is more difficult to do.
I can't find any evidence that Princess Anle and the Princess's Mansion knew about this matter..."
"I see."
Li Ang nodded, his voice still vague, "I just can't figure it out.
Why,
A nobleman's dog is more important than the lives of common people."
"..."
Cheng Juxiu stared at the wicker branches swaying in the wind and fell into silence.
As the sun sets in the west, the last rays of the setting sun dye the buildings in Zhenzhou City into a magnificent blood red.
"The sun rises..."
"Brother, I'm fine."
Li Ang shook his head, "I'm going back first."
"Well, take care of yourself."
Cheng Juxiu looked at Li Ang's deserted figure as he left, sighed softly, and got on the carriage again.
————
rice wine?
It is too sweet.
wine?
Too turbid.
Spicy wine?
If you add cinnamon and a bunch of flowers, can you still call it wine?
"This is the altar, Jiannan Shaochun."
Li Ang picked a wine jar from the shelf, patted the red paper on it, moved it down, and came to the courtyard.
In the courtyard of the security hall, Chai Cuiqiao, who noticed that he was in a bad mood, had already moved a stool and placed a few dishes on the stone table. He whispered: "Master, drink less. If you drink too much, you will not be long."
indivual."
"I know, I know."
Li Ang sat on the stool impatiently, picked up a spoon, scooped out a spoonful of wine from the jar, poured it into a ceramic cup, and tried to take a sip.
The strong liquor entered my throat, and as expected, it was choking and spicy.
"Ahem!"
Li Ang kept coughing and tears streaming down his face. Chai Cuiqiao sat next to him distressedly and patted his back.
"I want to be admitted to the Imperial Academy!"
The wine glass was thrown heavily on the table. Li Ang's eyes were red, he looked at the moonlit night sky and shouted hoarsely.
"Master, you will definitely pass the exam."
"It's not about being able, it's about being necessary."
Li Ang said: "I want people to have enough food, warm clothes, afford medical treatment, and go to school..."
"I want to make the world free of excessive taxes and corrupt officials..."
"I want to protect ordinary people who are willing to live a good life, and punish those who seek profits by harming and exploiting innocent people..."
"I want people to live with dignity and live like human beings..."
Chai Cuiqiao listened attentively to Li Ang's chatter, holding a cattail leaf fan and fanning the drunken boy away from flying mosquitoes.
"I want every household to be able to afford coal, drink hot water, and eat meat..."
"I want to eliminate disease, eliminate ignorance, eliminate ignorance..."
Li Ang drank the wine mixed with water sip after sip, feeling the cool breeze blowing through the courtyard, drunkenness came to his mind, and he murmured randomly.
"Master, go back to your room and sleep."
"Well, let's go back to the room."
