Even if Deng Gui guessed that what was happening in front of him was probably Xu Wujiang, Xu Xin'an and Xu Huai killing chickens and monkeys, he would be very angry, but he was even more afraid that Xu Huai would become murderous and turn around to attack Dong Cheng and Zheng Hui.
, then he must also put the head on his neck into it.
Deng Gui took off his shoulder knife, stared at Xu Huai's right hand, and said, "If you dare to act recklessly again, don't blame my men for being ruthless!"
"Xu Huai, the matter has come to an end, don't air any more grudges!" Xu Wujiang and Xu Xin'an, seizing the opportunity, suddenly stepped forward from behind, grabbed Xu Huai's arms behind his back, and snatched the long knife from his hand.
He then signaled several members of the Xu clan to come over with ropes, tied up Xu Huai who was struggling vigorously, and dragged him away.
When Xu Huai was tied up and dragged to the east yard, he kicked and injured two people, like a mad dog.
After a while, Xu Wujiang came back in panic and asked Xu Wufu: "Lao Wu, how is Xu Heng? Are you okay?"
"Xu Wujiang, you are so cruel! My Heng'er, you died miserably!" Xu Wufu hugged his cheekbones, and his cheekbones were smashed into pieces by Xu Huai's punches and kicks, and his face was already damaged.
The corpse of the eldest son Xu Heng, whose flesh and blood was completely mangled, looked up to the sky and wailed. After a while, he seemed to wake up from a start, crawled to his knees in front of Dong Cheng, and kowtowed "Dong Langjun is on top, Xu Huai is in front of everyone."
He committed murder and killed my beloved son. I ask Lord Dong Lang to uphold justice and kill Xu Huai to avenge my beloved son’s blood! If I don’t kill this son, Xu Wufu swears not to be a human being!”
"Kill Xu Huai!" Xu Wuqi woke up at this time. There was blood on his chest and neck. He didn't know how many sternums were broken. There was also blood flowing out of the corners of his mouth. He was breathing in less than he was breathing out.
He screamed with hatred, "If we don't kill Xu Huai, there will never be peace in Tongbai Mountain!"
"Dong Langjun, Xu Huai is guilty of having a violent temper, but Xu Heng is afraid of fighting and is timid before the enemy. It is not without fault. Xu Huai hurt him, but he was also jealous of his hatred, but he was not merciless in his attack just now. He used fists and kicks, but did not use direct force.
Who would have thought that Xu Heng could be so useless when a knife hurts someone..." Xu Wujiang knelt down in front of Dong Cheng in panic and begged for Xu Huai's mercy.
"Killing with fists and kicks is not murder? Look at how Xu Wuqi was injured. Are you blind and saying that Xu Huai didn't kill intentionally? Xu Wujiang, you are such a wolf-hearted person, do you want to kill me in the inspection department?"
?" Xu Wufu roared.
Xu Wujiang ignored Xu Wufu and continued to plead with Dong Cheng: "Xu Huai did a great job in killing the bandits. It can be said that he alone saved thousands of people in Huaiyuan. He hurt Xu Heng because he was jealous of evil. Please spare him a dog."
If you are destined to die, make meritorious deeds!"
"Please Dong Langjun remembers that Xu Huai hates evil as much as he hates evil. He has made great achievements in killing bandits, and spares his life!" Xu Xin'an, Xu Sihu and others knelt down and shouted.
"Please Dong Langjun remembers that Xu Huai hates evil as much as he hates evil. He has made great achievements in killing bandits, and spares his life!"
Tang Pan, Tang Qing, Zhong He, Jin Longquan and others stood behind Deng Gui, and at this moment they all knelt down to plead for Xu Huai.
"Please Dong Langjun remembers that Xu Huai hates evil as much as he hates evil. He has made great achievements in killing bandits, and spares his life!"
The soldiers from the rural camps inside and outside the inspection company, as well as from the inspection department, all knelt down and begged for Xu Huai...
Dong Cheng's forehead was throbbing with veins. He didn't expect that a vulgar warrior would spit out feces and maliciously attack him, the state's most respected person, and dare to commit murder in front of him. Is there any royal law in this world?
How can I, the King of Heaven, be so reckless and arrogant?
He was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas destroyed the world. Half of Dong Cheng's body twitched slightly, his eyes widened, and he said to Deng Gui: "Mr. Deng, if you obey my orders, you will..." It was about to happen right now.
He ordered Deng Gui to kidnap Xu Huai, the wild tiger, and throw him out of the inspection company to execute him on the street in order to suppress the law of the country.
"Dong Langjun!" At this moment, Zheng Hui pulled Dong Cheng's sleeve from behind, motioning him to look towards the long street outside the mansion, and said in a low voice, "Don't fall into their scheme!"
"..." Dong Cheng was startled. He glanced at a beautiful woman in green and flashed past the gate of the public house when he raised his head. This made the hairs on his back stand up and suppressed the panic in his heart.
Ask Zheng Hui, "That woman is Yaksha Fox?"
"...Exactly." Zheng Hui nodded.
Of course, he wanted to take this opportunity more than anyone else to stab Xu Huai to death in front of the street. However, Yakshahu was peeping outside at this time. He would never think that all this was really Xu Huai's out-of-control murder, rather than a conspiracy.
of conspiracy.
He then looked at the crowd of people kneeling in the darkness on the left and right, shouting one by one: "Please Dong Langjun, remember Xu Huai, who hates evil as much as he hates it. He has done great work in killing the bandits, please spare his life." At this time, a large number of people were attracted by this movement and came to the gate of the public house to see what happened.
No matter how stupid Zheng Hui is, he still has to think about it. With the few people they brought from Biyang and a few people such as Deng Gui and Tang Tiande still standing in the front yard of the public house, if Dong Chengzhen dares to order Xu Huai to be killed, Xu Wujiang will
Wouldn't he take the opportunity to encourage the surrounding soldiers and the people of Huaiyuan to rebel, and then kill them with swords?
Sweat was pouring down Zheng Hui's back. What a cruel trap. He actually used a wild tiger to kill Xu Heng to stir up people's hearts! At the same time, he did not expect that this stupid tiger, who knew how to act recklessly when faced with trouble, would be so popular in Huaiyuan.
It seems that they still underestimated the situation in Huaiyuan.
And they rushed to Huaiyuan to anger Xu Wujiang, Xu Huai and the like so that they could eradicate these rebellious officials and traitors in a legitimate way. Why couldn't they calm down at all and just follow the way of these rebellious officials and traitors?
You must be calm, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!
Zheng Hui ignored Deng Gui's glance, and held on to Dong Cheng's sleeve, fearing that he would lose his mind in anger and that once harsh words came out of his mouth, it would lead to a fatal disaster that no one could deal with.
"Xu Huai's meritorious service in killing the bandits will be remembered by this officer; Xu Heng was afraid of the enemy and he fought cowardly, so this officer will not ignore him; however, Xu Huai's attempt to take someone's life has been witnessed by everyone, so if I ignore him, at this time
Just let him get away, where is the law of the King of Vietnam?" Dong Cheng said loudly, "The case is complicated, and it is difficult for me to make a decision at the moment. Deng Gui, for the time being, you will take Xu Huai into custody in the prison cell. After we have discussed the suppression of the bandits, I and I will
Everyone will discuss their crimes together, and when the time comes, whether the sword will be used or the rod will depend on public discussion, no one can violate the laws of the country!"
"Go and take that bastard back and keep him under strict guard until Dong Langjun handles him!" Deng Gui was also very angry at this time and shouted angrily at the people around him.
When he saw that the mutiny was about to break out, he was so frightened that his palms were sweating. But he didn't expect that Dong Cheng, in this situation, could delay the matter in such a flawless manner that Xu Wujiang and others were unable to call out the troops.
Although he was resentful, he also secretly admired him, thinking that Dong Cheng was of the same age as him, but he was able to get to know Tangzhou as a waiter. After all, he was no longer a loser.
Dong Cheng said that Xu Huai deserved to die for his merits, but his life was at stake, and he could not just walk Xu Huai away in the street, causing the king's law to be covered in dust. He and everyone should put the discussion on suppressing bandits first, and put off dealing with Xu Huai later.
No one can say that he was inappropriate in the slightest.
Xu Wujiang also kowtowed to Dong Cheng and thanked Xu Huai for not killing him. Seeing such a result, the other generals thought that Dong Cheng would probably hit Xu Huai with a dozen or more sticks as a small punishment, so they felt that such a punishment was appropriate.
It was reasonable. I thought that after all Xu Huai had killed someone, and receiving dozens of military sticks was nothing, and of course they would not cause trouble again.
Tang Pan signaled Tang Qing to take a few people with him, and followed him to the east courtyard to take Xu Huai to the prison cell for custody.
"Wait a minute, there is no need to trouble Tang Jie level with this matter. We will definitely keep this fool under guard and wait for Dong Langjun to deal with it!" Xu Wujiang signaled Xu Xin'an to take someone to bring Xu Huai back. Not named Tang Pan, Tang Qing
Intervene.
"Xu Wujiang, don't push yourself too far. If you still don't trust Tang Pan and Tang Qing, do you really want to dominate everything in Huaiyuan?"
The veins on Deng Gui's forehead jumped violently. He shouted Xu Wujiang back angrily and then turned towards Tang Pan. Tang Qing and the others ordered,
"Tang Pan, Tang Qing listens to the order, you two will keep Xu Huai's brat under my guard. No one can take him away without my warrant! Xu Huai has made great achievements in guarding Yuan Huai, except Dong Langjun.
According to the king's law of punishment, no one is allowed to kill Xu Huai by lynching, do you understand?"
…………

The Inspection Department was not qualified to set up prisons, but there were cells where criminals could be temporarily detained. At this time, the road between Huaiyuan and Biyang City was blocked. In addition to prisoners of war, many criminals could not be detained in time.
He was taken to Biyang City for trial. The temporary prison cell here was also overcrowded.
In Tang Pan, it was impossible for Tang Qing to imprison Xu Huai with others, so he set aside a small courtyard nearby to imprison Xu Huai.
They were also afraid that Xu Wufu would send someone to avenge his son's murder. In addition to the two of them staying together, they also mobilized more than a dozen Tang soldiers to strengthen the guarding of the prison cell to ensure that there was no danger. Of course, Xu Wujiang did not trust Xu Huai.
He was completely handed over to Tang Pan and Tang Qing to take care of him. He couldn't get away, so he specially asked Xu Xin'an to lead people to keep an eye on the left and right sides of the prison to prevent irrelevant people from approaching.
I originally thought that after Dong Cheng met the representatives of the clan gentry, he would discuss how to punish Xu Huai with the accompanying Biyang officials and Huaiyuan squires. However, he did not expect that after the township meeting, Dong Cheng directly took Deng Gui and others with him on the grounds that it was important to suppress the bandits.
People rushed to Huangqiao Village to inspect the defense deployment of the Huaiyuan Township Camp there.
Dong Cheng deliberately delayed, but no one else was qualified to comment.
No matter how much Tang Pan and Tang Qing complained, no one paid attention to them. Fortunately, Zheng Tu prepared roast mutton, fat goose and good wine to serve Xu Huai, Xu Xin'an and Yin Peng, and they would not miss their share.
As long as Xu Huai didn't run out, Tang Pan and Tang Qing would certainly not embarrass him. It would be comfortable for a dozen people to sit in a brightly lit cell eating meat and drinking wine on a cold night.
At this moment, Xu Wufu was wailing and wailing in his residence at the east end of Huaihua Lane, Huaiyuan.
Xu Wufu did not transport the body of his eldest son Xu Heng back to Lutai Village with carts and horses. Instead, he set up the mourning hall in Huaiyuan City - Xu Wufu's wife Gu. Xu Heng had been married for more than three years but had not yet given birth to his wife Niu.
He, his youngest son Xu Chen and others all came to Huaiyuan to watch the funeral.
Zheng Hui walked into the courtyard, took off the hood that covered his head and face, and motioned to the two people accompanying him to stay in the alley and watch what was going on.
After passing through the hanging flower door in the front yard, you will find the mourning hall in the middle yard.
In the courtyard, there was a servant boy sitting under the pomegranate tree and lighting a brazier. Two women in mourning clothes were sitting beside the coffin in the mourning hall and weeping. There were also a few servant women walking around, but the overall courtyard was indescribably deserted and desolate.
It is completely unimaginable how prestigious Xu Wu's wealthy family was in Tongbai Mountain before.
Xu Huai beat Xu Heng to death in public in the inspection department and seriously injured Xu Wuqi. Everyone knew that the last trace of harmony among the Xu clan was torn to pieces. From then on, Xu Wujiang and Xu Wufu were sworn enemies.
No longer can people have their way between them.
Those who have come here to express condolences to Xu Heng in the past few days should no longer think about being able to visit Xu Wujiang or Xu Huai.
Although no one knows how long Xu Wujiang and Xu Huai can be so arrogant and arrogant, the decline of Xu Wufu's lineage, or that Xu Wujiang will be eaten to death in a short period of time, is something everyone thinks they can do.
Visible reality.
The deserted entrance here shows that there is nothing unusual.
Zheng Hui walked into the mourning hall. The wooden coffin was placed horizontally in the middle of the mourning hall after the memorial tablet. Xu Heng had already put on the shroud. The lid of the coffin had not yet been closed. The body was in the coffin, with its head and face exposed outside the embroidered jacket and quilt.
My mother-in-law had cleaned it up, but her cheekbones and jawbones, which had been beaten with fists and kicks, still looked hideous and terrifying no matter how she cleaned them up.
Zheng Hui couldn't help but think, if this is still a cruel trick, I will admit defeat.
