Chapter 691: 'The dog-slaughter officer Wu Juhou and his family are the same as Yama Dingrun!'
The backyard of Wu Mansion.
Wu Shifan was studying "Shang Shu" hard, and behind him were his two younger brothers, Wu Shixia and Wu Shi'an, who were also studying "Yi" and "Book of Rites" in their arms.
Ever since they were arrested by the Imperial City Secretary in Fanlou that day, they were punished and grounded by Wu Juhou after they were released.
That's fine, the key is that this time Wu Juhou was so angry that he drove them out of the inner house and went to study in the room where the servants were.
Not only was the place small, the candlelight was dim, and there was not even a brazier at first, but later my mother-in-law loved her so much that she secretly put one in. Life was really hard.
"It's past midnight and it's the first day of the Lunar New Year. You can't even let us rest?"
"I really want to fall asleep and never wake up again!"
The two younger brothers couldn't help but doze off and began to complain. Wu Shifan thought of Wu Juhou's stern eyes after just finishing the ceremonial reunion dinner, and said in a deep voice: "This time, my father is determined and wants to teach us a profound lesson.
Stop complaining and study hard. This year, you must at least pass the imperial examination and enter the provincial examination!"
The imperial examinations in the Northern Song Dynasty were held irregularly at first, sometimes every two years, sometimes only once every four years. It was not until the Shenzong Dynasty that they were completely standardized and the imperial examinations were held every three years.
The entire process of the imperial examination is very long. From the first examination to the final posting of the list and the parade of Jinshi, it basically lasts for more than half a year.
The normal situation is that in July and August this year, various prefectures and counties will conduct examinations. The students who pass the examination will become juren and go to Beijing to take the examination. It will not be until February next year that the second provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites will be held, and then the palace examination will be held in early March.
The reason why there is such a long gap between the interpretation test and the provincial test is for the sake of the health of students from all over the country, giving them time to adapt to the environment of the capital, so that they will not perform abnormally due to acclimatization or illness.
In terms of the treatment of candidates in the imperial examination, Song Dynasty was undoubtedly the first, and under such a generous system, the Bianjing household registration occupies a huge advantage.
But even so, Wu Shixia and Wu Shi'an still complained: "So what if we passed the provincial examination? We still can't pass the provincial examination. Is it possible that we failed in the examination again and again? In the end, the officials sympathized and gave us a fifth-class scholarship with the same background as a supporter.
A low-ranking official who can’t afford his family’s fortune? That’s so shameful!”
Wu Shifan also felt that it was embarrassing, but as his elder brother, he still scolded him righteously: "Shameful? How many people study hard all their lives and fail to become Jinshi, and become officials. Why do you look down on the same Jinshi background?"
Wu Shixia lowered her head, and Wu Shi'an, the youngest, muttered in a low voice: "Then why don't you ask for a parent?"
Wu Shifan was furious: "What did you say...boom!"
While he was scolding, there was a sudden noise outside, and then a quick scream: "Ah-"
The three of them were stunned and subconsciously looked outside: "What is that sound?"
Wu Shixia said indifferently: "Could it be that one of the servants slipped and fell into the pool..."
Wu Shi'an became excited: "Did a thief break in? Let's go catch the thief!"
Wu Shifan looked serious: "Recently, there has been unrest in the capital, and murders have been frequent in the capital. First, two relatives and princes were killed, and then the Queen Mother was assassinated. Later, there was the great rebel 'Zuoming' who attacked the imperial army, and the Mingzun cult attacked the Kaifeng government office and Prince Jian's palace."
The fire..."
After he concluded like this, Wu Shi'an also showed a look of fear: "When did the capital become so dangerous?"
Wu Shifan warned: "Fortunately, my father has been prepared and hired many martial artists to enter the house. With them here, they can ensure the safety of the family. Don't be impulsive and run around!"
When Wu Juhou was running Jingdong, he was hated by the people because he plundered too much. The banner of the peasant uprising army was to capture Wu Juhou and throw him into an iron-making furnace and burn him to death. From that time on, in terms of guarding his home,
This person has become more important. In this period, it is natural to recruit more people to protect the home more closely.
It was precisely because of this that there was such an obvious noise, and Wu Shifan's self-proclaimed warning became a joke when a big-headed man holding a long knife kicked open the door: "I originally thought that the three of them were...
You must have been frightened and ran away? I didn’t expect you were still here, but it saved me time..."
The three of them stared blankly at the ferocious man with blood dripping from the tip of the knife: "Is it you? Ding Run?"
Ding Run is the Kaifeng government judge and his father's subordinate. During the previous festival, he had visited him, so they all recognized him. They even remembered Ding Run at that time, with a fawning look, and those who
There is no difference between officials who suck up to their superiors.
But now, looking at the blood on the opponent's body and smelling the pungent smell, Wu Shi'an's throat constricted and he was about to scream, and then he saw a sword flash past without hesitation.
Time seems to slow down.
Wu Shifan stared blankly as he watched his brother's head fly up, watched as blood spurted out from his neck, watched Ding Run take the head and skillfully put it into a sack, and finally watched the man who had killed him without saying a word face the murderer.
His lips trembled as if he were saying something.
Wu Shifan's head was buzzing, and he was deafened. He couldn't hear what the other party said at all. Ding Run said it twice, but when he didn't respond, he clicked his tongue: "I didn't expect Wu Juhou to have a strong-willed son?"
He turned to Wu Shixia: "Wuyanei, can you lead the way for me?"
Wu Shixia was so frightened that she turned around and ran away. Then a dart shot out from behind like lightning and pierced directly into his neck. He fell to the ground with a bang, blood gushed out, and his limbs spasmed.
Ding Run stepped forward, chopped off Wu Shixia's head with a knife, put it into a sack, and then looked at Wu Shifan: "You have a lot of guards, can you help me lead the way?"
Wu Shifan's pants were already wet, but he regained his hearing and groaned: "Don't kill me... don't kill me... whatever you want me to do... I'm willing to do it..."
Ding Run said with a smile: "That's ridiculous! Let's go!"
With Wu Shifan leading the way, Ding Run felt much more relaxed. Whenever a martial artist patrolled, he would let the young man take the lead and launch a surprise attack from behind.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He is here to destroy the family, not to duel, so of course he will use all possible means.
When all the guards hired by Wu Juhou who spent a lot of money were killed by the sword, Ding Run's behavior became more and more efficient. He walked into each courtyard. Occasionally, there were brief and rapid screams, but most of the time they were silent.
Wu Shifan stared blankly, knowing clearly that he should run away at this time, but his legs seemed to be nailed to the ground and could not be pulled out. It was not until Ding Run turned back and pushed him that he could continue to move forward.
As they swept through the courtyards one by one, the sacks became more and more bulging, and blood dripped and flowed all over the floor as they were dragged.
Finally, Ding Run and Wu Shifan stood outside Wu Juhou's house.
Wu Shifan suddenly realized something, opened his mouth and said: "Spare my life!"
"no!"
Ding Run refused, swung his knife, chopped off the head of the second yamenei, threw it into a sack, and walked in swaggeringly.
Wu Juhou had not yet slept peacefully, and was still thinking about the future plan excitedly. Then he saw his target pushing the door open, and he suddenly showed an incredulous look: "Judge Ding?"
Ding Run said with a smile: "It's already this time, and you still claim your position? You are indeed a scholar-bureaucrat who values etiquette!"
Looking at this big man standing in front of him covered in blood and full of murderous intent, Wu Juhou wanted to maintain the demeanor of his immediate boss, the prefect of Kaifeng, but he couldn't control his drastically changed expression: "Judge Ding, what are you going to do? Don't commit suicide Wrong!"
Ding Run's thick eyebrows raised: "Seeing me coming to the door with a knife, you kept reminding me that I am a judge of Kaifeng government office. What have you been doing so long ago?"
"I am not as stubborn as Gongsun Zhao, and I am willing to join in the evil with you. If you get rich, I will get rich too, okay? Why can't you tolerate me and insist on putting me to death?"
Wu Juhou knew very well that the plan between himself and Zhao Tingzhi was most likely to be leaked, and the other party would come directly to kill him. He tried his best to explain: "Judge Ding, we are definitely not targeting you, but the Imperial City Secretary promoted Gao Qiu to do evil. , as long as you are willing to help us collect evidence of Gao Qiu's crime, I guarantee that today's incident will be wiped out!"
Ding Run looked at him: "Wu Longtu, have you forgotten why we turned against each other? It was you who colluded with Liu Yanqing to blame me for the breach of the Kaifeng government office. Isn't this a target?"
Wu Juhou was speechless.
Ding Run grinned again and said: "Since then, I have wanted to come to your house. I will go to the house of whoever doesn't let me work as an official! Do you think that I am just killing the housekeepers with this blood in my body?" The guards of the hospital, why did you say so lightly, do you want to mercifully forgive my sins?"
"Then the blood on your body..."
Smelling the extremely rich smell of blood that hit his face, Wu Juhou's heart sank. For a moment, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and his face changed horribly.
Ding Run did not reveal the surprise in advance, but looked around the elegant decoration in the room: "No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. You scholar-officials often say this, so you can make mistakes, but we lowly warriors are not human beings." ...But you have always heard of the situation where a common man is angry and his blood is scattered five steps, right? Or are you too arrogant to think that oppressed warriors would dare to do this?"
Seeing that he was too soft, Wu Juhou's old voice became sharp and his tone became tough: "Ding Run, I am a bachelor of Longtuge. I have the power to know Kaifeng Mansion and a third-rank official of the imperial court. If you dare to hurt me, you will be killed." Rebellion, the world is so big, there is no place for you!!"
Ding Run was amused: "What I said is as if 'Zuoming' has been arrested by you and his body was buried in the city to warn the world!"
Wu Juhou was speechless again.
Ding Run continued: "But the fact is that when my junior brother was here, there were many prisoners who could not be caught, let alone now! When I was an official, you were a third-rank official, and the Kaifeng prefect could certainly suppress me.
, but I really want to rebel, let alone you old guy, what can the court do to me?"
Wu Juhou's shoulders trembled, and deep regret finally welled up in his heart: "Then what are you going to do?"
Ding Run said sternly: "You slandered me just to harm my whole family. If I fight back, I will naturally kill your whole family! Of course, I have been an orphan since I was a child. I was adopted by an old man and I didn't marry a wife, so there is only one person in the family, and you yourself
Marry a wife and take concubines, give birth to many children, and have a whole family of hundreds of people, but these are the whole family, and it is very fair!"
After speaking rigorously, Ding Run finally opened the sack behind him and took out the surprise: "Your eldest son, your second son, your third son, your fourth son...your eleventh son!"
The bloody heads were thrown out one after another, and they were all placed in front of Wu Juhou. Ding Run said: "In order to prevent any fish from slipping through the net, I have specially identified the faces of your family members during this period. I agreed to kill your whole family and run away one person. One less person.
It doesn’t count as killing your whole family!”
"But you have too many wives, concubines, and concubines, so I won't pretend to bring them here. There may be some in the countryside, and I will go there again. Here are your legitimate children. Can you click a little to see if they are all neat and tidy?
"
Plop!
Seeing his son who was indeed neat and tidy, Wu Juhou's knees weakened, and he finally knelt on the ground, letting out a heart-rending cry: "Ah! Ahhhh! My son...my son! Evil thief!!"
You can’t be nice—”
Ding Run watched him let out a scream that was not like a human voice. He thought he would be very happy, but when he thought that his official position was ruined by such people, he couldn't be happy, so he cut him off with a knife.
"Whoosh!"
With the sword that can cut iron like clay, coupled with his murderous luck, Wu Juhou's head and half of his shoulder were chopped off, and the yelling suddenly stopped.
"Finish!"
Ding Run turned his wrist, and the blade of the sword spurted out a stream of smelly blood. He put it back into the sheath and walked out, but after taking a few steps, he turned back again.
This time I was very excited. I pulled off the calligraphy and painting hangings on the wall and wrote in blood:
"The dog-slaughter officer Wu Juhou and his whole family are Yama Luo Dingrun!"
