Chapter 68 Bloody Feast

Beating drums and making excuses, and going to the court to ask for cases is something that only happens in the play. Not only Chen Zikun, but also Chen Shou and his men are interested, and their eyes are lit and ready to play, as if they have the intention of making a guest appearance in the dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

Chen Zikun said, "Since that's the case, let me go and have a look." After that, Long Xinghu walked out of the second hall and led a group of tough hat-gifted guests to the county government gate.

There were crowds of people at the gate, but they were silent. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at the lobby. When they saw the guards dressed in military uniforms and swords and horse boots appear, they were slightly turbulent.

The one who beat the drum was Li Juren. The old man held the drumstick and beat the drum with his injustice. This drum was not simple. He played a great role in boosting morale in the battle against the attack of bandits a few days ago. Today, he replied to his job and the drums were still loud.

There were a large group of mourning people kneeling behind Li Juren, all of whom were relatives and servants of the Li family. When they saw Chen Zikun appear, they immediately started crying. Li Juren even threw the drumstick and knelt down: "Sir, it's unfair."

Chen Zikun was quick-eyed and quickly supported Li Juren: "Master Juren, how can you perform this great gift? You are a person with fame and fortune, so you don't have to do this."

Li Juren said: "Now the Republic of China is now, the old rules are no longer prosperous. I am a Juren from the Qing Dynasty. It is natural to kneel down in the Republic of China."

Chen Zikun looked at Li Juren's braid hanging from his head, suddenly laughed and let go of his hand.

This made Juren Li very embarrassed. He was not kneeling or not. He was just pretending, but he didn't know that Chen Zikun had such a move. He made up his mind and knelt down again, took out a complaint from his arms and shouted, "Sir, the common people are wronged."

Chen Zikun said: "Where did your injustice come from?"

Li Juren said: "I sued Nie Jinku forcibly raped his daughter-in-law and caused him to commit suicide by hanging his beam. I hope the adults will avenge the common people."

Chen Zikun said: "Left and right!"

A group of bandits shouted with their waists, "Yes!" The posture seemed to be in the play.

Chen Zikun said: "Check the letter and take it to your seat!"

The lobby of the county government office, which had been silent for a while, became lively again. Dozens of murderous live bandits acted as yamen runners on the stand-up squad, wearing straw hats and holding water and fire sticks. The atmosphere in the court was so strict, just like the Hall of Yama.

Chen Zikun sat upright behind the seat in military uniform, standing on the side with Chief Yan standing on the side, behind two orderly soldiers with box cannons hanging on their waists, and took the letter from Li Juren's hand.

The complaint was written by a famous lawyer in the county. It is strictly standardized and well-organized, and can be regarded as a model for the complaint. Unfortunately, Chen Zikun is a Qiu Ba and does not know how to appreciate the wonders of the complaint. After watching it, he picked up the gavel and patted it: "Take someone to criminals!"

Nie Jinku was taken up. After being detained for a night, his eyes turned red and his mouth became even more crooked. He pointed at Chen Zikun and cursed: "My surname is Chen, you damn dare to fool me!"

Chen Zikun slapped the awkward again: "Pick the mouth!" He pulled a bamboo stick from the sign bottle and threw it over. Chen Shou picked it up in the air, and started work on Nie Jinku's mouth, and slapped it down, with blood on his face.

"Okay." Chen Zikun stopped and continued to ask: "Nie Jinku, you raped Li He, a citizen girl in the Li Mansion yesterday. Is there anything wrong?"

Nie Jinku's front teeth were all broken, but his arrogance did not diminish at all. He jumped and cursed: "Mr. Chen, Governor Sun will not let you go!"

"Go again!" Chen Zikun drew another tag and threw it over. Thinking about it, he added: "Go to the board, first kill the powerful sticks for forty first!"

Chen Shou waved his hand, and two bandits, like wolves and tigers, rushed up, kicked Nie Jinku to the ground, took off his pants and held them down. The other two picked up the water and fire sticks and hit them down on their butts. The sound of the stick and flesh intimate contact with the flesh and skin mixed with the howl of Nie Jinku, resounding inside and outside the county yamen.

The bandits were not professional yamen runners, and they were not serious about the board. After more than twenty strokes, Nie Jinku fainted. Juren Li was relieved and jumped on the side and cursed, with his braids pouting: "It is not an exaggeration to cut a thousand knives into pieces."

The people watching outside were in a burst of excitement, and Nie Jinku's howling encouraged them. Since all the commanders could do it, let alone the evil soldiers below, countless voices sounded: "Sir, you're unfair."

Chen Zikun said: "If you have grievances and seek revenge, come one by one."

The people rushed into the lobby, kowtowed all over the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and chatted endlessly about the evil caused by the Eleventh Ball. Chen Zikun felt his ears buzzing and his mind was messy. He picked up the gavel and slapped it.

With a "bang", the whole world became quiet, and the victims were staring at Master Qingtian.

"Everyone come with me." Chen Zikun got off the seat, left the lobby, and headed straight to the outer courtyard of the county government. The people followed closely and came to the prison of the outer courtyard. Chen Zikun ordered that the captives of the 11th regiment be taken out in groups of ten people to let the people recognize them.

It was so lively now. When the victims saw the murderer who killed his relatives, they rushed up to beat and scolded him. The recognized murderers all looked as if they were ashes and were trembling. The yard was crowded with people, and the walls and trees were full of people watching the fun.

Thirteen murderers were selected from the more than 300 prisoners, twenty-seven raped women, and more than eighty robbed property. Of course, there was some moisture in this. In fact, there were more than one person raped. Many people were afraid that they could not raise their heads in front of their neighbors after losing face, so they did not come out to identify the murderer.

Chen Zikun asked his subordinates to tie up all the forty murderers and blindfolded their eyes with black cloth. When Chen Shou heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and personally led people to execute. County Magistrate Liu asked tremblingly: "Empression, don't you want to shoot them, right?"

"I haven't decided whether to shoot or behead the head." Chen Zikun answered him seriously.

Liu Youjin shivered, forty lives, killing him at any time, this spirit is so cruel.

In a short while, the criminals were tied up, Chen Shou stepped forward and said, "Ten years, Hedong and ten years, Hexi, before, officers and soldiers killed us, but now it's our turn to kill them."

Chen Zikun said: "This is not a revenge killing, this is called Ming Zhengdian punishment. So what, let everyone be quiet, I want to say a few words."

At this time, hundreds of people had gathered in the county yard courtyard, and it was hard to make a noise. Chen Shou shouted a few times but it didn't work. He simply pulled out the box and the gun was clattering three times. It suddenly became much quieter, but there were still many people whispering.

Chen Zikun jumped onto a table, scanned the surroundings, and said, "Friends."

The scene gradually calmed down.

"I was not at home yesterday. The 11th Gang of 11th Gang raped and plundered the bad things and made everyone suffer. As the Jiangbei Guardian, it was my dereliction of duty. I apologize to everyone here!"

As he said that, Chen Zikun bowed deeply.

The yard was silent, except for the whimpering of the wind.

When Chen Zikun raised his head, grief and anger had been replaced by murderous aura and said loudly: "The Jiangbei Guardians have a place to appease the office and restrain the soldiers' responsibilities. The 11th Regiment committed heinous crimes in our area. Is it a decoration for our Military Law Office? Someone is here!"

"Yes!" Dozens of black-clad guests put their hands on their hips and responded majesticly.

"Pull these forty black sheep out and shoot, and make a warning to others."

"Yes!" The bandits first pulled ten officers and soldiers to the base of the wall, lined up in line to face the wall, and Chen Shou ordered: "Prepare!"

There was a sound of pulling the bolt, and ten rifles were lifted up in one go.

"put!"

There was a deafening sound of gunfire, and ten corpses fell under the wall. Chen Shou stepped forward and kicked them. Seeing who was not dead, he shot him again.

The gunshot scared the remaining thirty soldiers waiting for execution. They were either stunned, crying loudly, or kneeling to beg for mercy. However, the people were sharply raised by the gunshots and blood, and cheered, facing the angry sea, Nie Jinku, who had just woken up, quickly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be dead.

Ten people at a time, four times in a row, blood flowed into rivers at the base of the wall, and corpses formed mountains. Large groups of green-headed flies gathered around, crawling on the fresh corpses, enjoying this cruel feast.

Next were the more than 80 officers and soldiers who robbed property. The crime of death was not allowed to be punished. Each person had 100 military sticks to the account and slowly calculated it with them.

The military sticks were beaten and shot, and the anger that the people held in their hearts disappeared with the sound of gunfire, but instead they were deeply loved and respected for the guardian Lord Chen.

"Mr. Chen, my God~~~" A white-bearded old man knelt down with a trembling leader, as if a domino had fallen. Everyone in the yard knelt down and followed him to call Master Qingtian.

Chen Zikun stepped forward and helped him: "Old man, please get up quickly. It is my duty to protect the country and the people. At your age, I am terrible to lose my life."

The old man said: "You are Nantai's parents' official and can afford to be worshipped by the old man."

Chen Zikun smiled and said, "This is a bad word. My parents are County Mayor Liu, I am the military guard. He is in charge of the people and I am in charge of the army. It is different."

The old man said: "I enforce the law impartially and seek justice for the people. I am the Master Qingtian. I can afford this worship."

Chen Zikun laughed, helped the old man up, comforted him with kind words, and finally said, "Everyone lost property, you can collect it from County Mayor Liu tomorrow, and it will be dispersed."

The people dispersed one after another, and Juren Li and a group of mourning families left or stayed. Everyone’s case was settled, and their daughter-in-law’s injustice had not yet been resolved.

"Ju Ren Li, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for your case, please go back." Chen Zikun issued the order to expel guests.

Juren Li didn't dare to say much. Now Chen Zikun is a murderous devil in his eyes. He hurriedly took his family away. The smell of blood in the yard was too strong to bear it.

The white sun shone in the sky, and the blood at the base of the wall was already semi-freezing. The green-headed flies were still happy. Several flies crawled onto Nie Jinku's face, and his mouth was twitching.

"Okay, stop pretending, get up, it's quite hot in the sun." Chen Zikun said.

Nie Jinku opened his eyes and saw the man who killed forty of his subordinates at once sitting leisurely sitting under the shade of the tree tasting sour plum soup. He also took off his military uniform and only wore a white shirt. He didn't look like a murderous god without blinking, but a student in a provincial university.

"Give me your life~~" Nie Jinku fell to the ground, tears streaming down, kowtowing like pounding garlic, "I know that I am wrong, I dare not."

Chen Zikun smiled and said, "Come here, let's see the seat for Captain Nie and serve tea."
