Chapter 43 Tragedy
The officer escorting the prisoner saw Yang Yi blocking the middle of the road and scolded, "Don't have eyes? Don't block the way!"
Yang Yi turned a deaf ear and walked forward. He waved his halberd to push away a soldier guarding the prison van. He went to a prison van and asked softly: "Brother Duan, what's wrong with you?" The person in the prison van in front of Yang Yi was Duan Yuanqing who had been separated from Yang Yi for a while.
But at this moment, Duan Yuan had a blue nose and a swollen face, his face was muddy, and his wrists were tightly handcuffed by iron shackles, which was already red and swollen. After hearing Yang Yi's question, he slowly turned his head and looked at Yang Yi in a muddy manner. Then his face gradually began to change, and his pale face began to appear flushed, and his eyes suddenly opened wide, obviously due to excitement. He opened his mouth several times, and said something "ah ah ah" a few words, but he could not make a sound. He was so anxious that his hands were shaking around, and the iron shackles banged in the prison car. Duan Yuanqing was so anxious that he was about to bleed on his face. He made a sound, but he couldn't express what he meant.
Yang Yi's face turned gloomy, "Brother Duan, what's going on? Have you suffered some injustice?"
"Yes, you nod."
Duan Yuanqing's head was furious, and his forehead hit the frame of the prison car, and blood came from his head instantly.
Yang Yi took a deep breath and said, "I understand!"
At this moment, the leader of the team came to the horse and cursed, "What a courage, you dare to move the prison car! Your grandma..." Before he finished speaking, his shoulders suddenly sank, and a large halberd was placed on his neck. The blade of the halberd was swaying and scattered his eyes. It was extremely sharp at first glance. The officer was shocked. The words he had not cursed just now were swallowed into his stomach. He raised his hands and shouted, "Hero, wait! Say something well, say something well!"
While Yang Yi put the halberd on the officer's shoulder, his other hand had already pulled out the long sword on his back and swung it out. The prison cart was suddenly split. Even Duan Yuanqing's hand-lifting shackles were cut off by his sword, but Duan Yuanqing's body had no oily skin.
The prison car broke all over the ground, and Duan Yuanqing's hunched body slowly stood upright in the prison car, but then his knees softened and his head was falling down to the ground. Yang Yi leaned over and stretched his arms, pulled him to his horse, and asked, "Brother Duan, what's going on?"
Looking at Duan Yuanqing again, his eyes were closed and his teeth were clenched, and he had already fallen into a coma.
Yang Yi turned over and dismounted, gently placed Duan Yuanqing on the bottom plate of the prison car, and rushed to the leader's officer and asked: "I ask you, what crimes have the prisoners you escorted to you?"
The officer was placed on his body with a big halberd, and he dared not not answer, and said in a trembling voice: "I am also ordered to act, and I did not make things difficult for you, my friend. I also asked your subordinates to show mercy and let a small life go."
"Talk!"
Yang Yi's long spear suddenly pressed down. The officer was pressed by him and fell down. He fell down and his eyes were so numb that he staggered. He stood up with fear on his face and said, "Just ask, the villain will never talk much, and will never talk too much!"
Yang Yi pointed to Duan Yuanqing who was unconscious, "What kind of evil sin did he commit that made you put him on iron shackles and imprison him in a van?"
The officer said tremblingly: "I heard that it was... I refused to pay the tax bank, and even killed my wife and children."
Yang Yi said: "Fart!"
The officer said: "Yes, yes, yes! It must be that I heard it wrong!"
Yang Yi vomited the strength in his hand, and the supra was shaken. The officer had been thrown several meters away by him. After injured several soldiers, he beat him a few times on the ground and fell into a coma.
Yang Yi held the thin horse pulling the prison van, and amid the attacks and shouts of several soldiers who were sporting guns and swords around him, the halberds in his hands were waving, and in a moment, he had already left the encirclement and ran forward without stopping.
The escort officer behind him shouted loudly for a long time, but his body was still motionless. He started to curse until Yang Yi's shadow could no longer be seen. These soldiers escorted the prisoners had poisonous eyes. Naturally, they knew that they had met the legendary martial arts master today, so they dared not say anything. They watched Yang Yi rob the prisoner and shouted in a pretentious manner, but they did not dare to pursue him again.
The warriors in the Southern Song Dynasty were so weak that it was a wonder in the world.
Yang Yi found a place to put Duan Yuanqing down and pointed it out. Duan Yuanqing woke up. After a while of confusion, he realized that he had been rescued by Yang Yi...
Seeing Yang Yi looking at him with his eyes fixed on him, Duan Yuanqing struggled to get up, trying to say something, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say it. He was so anxious that his three corpse gods were furious, and smoke was generated from his five orifices. After coughing a few times, he opened his mouth and bit his fingers, and wrote four blood-colored words on the bottom of the prison car under him: Avenge me!
Yang Yi's eyes hopped a few times and said, "Don't worry! Where did your sister-in-law and the son-in-law go? Do they know after you were caught by the official?"
Duan Yuanqing saw Yang Yi ask about his wife and children, and his body shook loudly. He hugged his head and cried bitterly. After crying a few times, he squatted on the ground and wrote with his bloody fingers: "Die!"
"Diet?"
Yang Yi was shocked and said, "Is it really dead? How did it die? Who killed them?"
Duan Yuanqing was stunned, as if it was a little difficult to tell who the enemy who killed his wife and the child was. After thinking about it, he bit his finger again and wrote on the bottom plate: "Court!"
"The court?"
Yang Yi was a little difficult to understand, but he saw Duan Yuanqing shaking his body now, and he was unconscious again, so he didn't ask much questions. He immediately said to Duan Yuanqing: "Brother Duan, you recover from your injuries now, and I will ask you tomorrow." He reached out and tapped Duan Yuanqing, and Duan Yuanqing immediately entered a coma.
The next day, after Duan Yuanqing woke up, Yang Yi gave him a few bowls of soup, his body obviously began to improve, but his throat was hoarse after being drugged, and it was difficult to recover for a while.
In the past few days, Yang Yi has figured out what happened.
Because Duan Yuanqing has a stubborn temper and has offended many people, he was called by a local official when he returned home a few days ago, saying that he would contribute to the current annual monies and donate more money so that the Song Dynasty can stabilize the Jin Kingdom, prevent the two countries from fighting, killing countless people, and preventing the people from being displaced again.
The court is weak and incompetent. Every year, it has to pay annual monies to the Jin Kingdom, so that the Jin Kingdom will not come to attack. The people who bear these annual monies can only be the people of the Jin Kingdom. Originally, Duan Yuanqing had been used to paying taxes, but this time the amount was particularly large compared to previous years, which was a bit abnormal.
Duan Yuanqing was not a fool. He was so strange that he ran to the nearby county town and asked, and found that only his family had a lot of taxes, while the rest of the families were the same as in previous years. After finding out this, he rushed home angrily and prepared to ask the local officials what was going on.
But after arriving at home, he found that his wife and his newly found son were missing. When he asked the neighbors, the neighbors around him were talking in a flash, and they couldn't speak clearly. Duan Yuanqing asked repeatedly and realized what was going on.
It turned out that after Duan Yuanqing went out, his wife led her children to the market to buy things, but was teased by several bad people. Seeing this, his wife stopped rushing the market and immediately returned home. However, the bad people were so brave that they followed his wife all the way to the door of the house. Seeing that they were many people and were fierce, they did not dare to offend them. Fortunately, the bad people wandered around the door for a long time, and saw that the Duan family door was closed, they laughed and dispersed.
But after a while, a group of people came, and they burst open the door and caught Duan Yuanqing and the child, missing.
Several neighbors were all timid people. Seeing that these people were so vicious, they dared to steal people and rob people in broad daylight. They knew that they could not afford to offend them, so they all became turtles. Therefore, when Duan Yuanqing asked about this, they were a little afraid to face him.
After Duan Yuanqing asked about this, he was shocked and angry. He rushed to the local county government to beat drums and shout for justice. Unexpectedly, after seeing him, the third yamen runners arrested him and directly arrested him without asking questions. He knocked him unconscious with a slaughter. When he woke up, he had already entered the prison cart. There were two corpses, one big and one small, next to the prison cart, which were his wife and son.
