37: My father-in-law hates people who are more arrogant than me
"Magistrate Song!!!"
As the soldier's sword fell.
Song Yi's head fell off.
Before he died, he kept his eyes wide open with anger, as if he had turned into a ghost and wanted to take revenge on Li Di.
Li Di was frightened.
"Take him out immediately and bury him! Bury him far away!"
After Li Di finished speaking, he turned and left.
Song Yi's head behind him was still staring at him.
The people burst into tears and shouted loudly for Magistrate Song.
"Dad! I'm sorry, I'm late!"
Among the crowd, there was a young man who was clenching his fists tightly, his eyes were red, and he didn't even dare to cry too loudly.
Several strong men behind the young man also lowered their heads slightly, as if in silent mourning for Magistrate Song.
………
The sun sets in the west.
Three luxury carriages entered Shanshui County.
Fifty imperial guards were wearing golden armor and holding swords in their hands, showing an imposing aura.
The sunset is as red as blood.
The streets were extremely quiet.
White strips are hung in every house.
This scene made Wu Zhongxian a little confused.
"Go find out what happened."
"yes!"
Wang Zhenjun took the order and went to crowded places to inquire and investigate.
After a while, Wang Zhenjun came back with news.
"Eunuch Wu, I heard that Song Yi, the magistrate of Shanshui County, has passed away, and the people are seeing him off on their own."
Wu Zhongxian nodded thoughtfully: "This county magistrate is an upright official."
If the people can organize a farewell on their own initiative, it should be impossible for corrupt officials to do so.
Since they are not corrupt officials, why are there refugees fleeing famine in Shanshui County?
"What? Master Song Yi passed away?"
When the timid little bird heard the news, he couldn't help but make a sound.
"Do you know County Magistrate Song?"
Wu Zhongxian looked at Xiaoqueer.
The little girl washed and dressed up and became much cleaner.
But he still wore the same shabby clothes.
Since there was no suitable clothes for her to change into, she had to make do with it.
"Magistrate Song, he is a good official and a good person... He even gave me steamed buns before. Magistrate Song also promised me that he would catch the murderer of my parents." Xiao Queer said timidly.
The little girl's understanding is really simple.
Just a steamed bun can make her think that the other person is a good person.
Just like Wu Zhongxian gave her a chicken drumstick, she thought Wu Zhongxian was a good person.
But this is the mentality that normal children should have.
Like the little girl brought out of Prince Jing's palace, she is too smart and scheming.
All I can say is that he is worthy of being a child from a big family.
The education received since childhood is different, the living environment is different, and the cognition and vision are different.
In comparison, the little bird is as simple as a blank sheet of paper.
At this moment, there was a sound of fighting ahead.
Wang Zhenjun immediately sent a guard to investigate.
And immediately mobilized other imperial troops to protect Wu Zhongxian's carriage.
Their mission on this trip was only to protect Eunuch Wu.
Even if you sacrifice yourself, you must ensure the safety of Eunuch Wu!
This is a task assigned by His Majesty himself.
Soon, the investigating imperial guards came back to report,
"General Wang! There is a fight at the county magistrate's office in front of us! There are villagers and gangsters who are forcing their way into the county office!"
"The gangster broke into the county government office? How brave!"
Wang Zhenjun frowned.
How could this Shanshui County be in such chaos!
There was famine in the past, and bandits later broke into the county magistrate's office.
"Go over and have a look."
"yes!"
After receiving Wu Zhongxian's order, Wang Zhenjun ordered the imperial army to surround the county government.
He was brought to the county government office in a short time.
The gangsters who were originally trying to break into the county government panicked when they saw the sudden appearance of the imperial guards.
"Put down your weapons! Otherwise, shoot without mercy!"
Wang Zhenjun roared.
As a fourth-level warrior, Wang Zhenjun's strength far exceeds that of ordinary gangsters.
When the gangsters saw the appearance of the Royal Guards, under the command of the leading young man, they all dropped their weapons without any needless resistance.
The Royal Forest Army stepped forward and controlled all the dozen gangsters.
There are several bodies underground.
"Who are you? How dare you break into the county government office!?"
Wang Zhenjun glanced at everyone and asked coldly.
"General! We were wronged! I am the only son of Song Yi, the magistrate of Shanshui County. My name is Song Chenglian!"
The young man with red eyes came out, pointed at the gate of the county government office with anger in his eyes and said: "Li Di, the general judge under the prefect, falsely accused my father Song Yi of embezzling disaster relief funds! After that, he did not report it to the court for investigation, so my father was imprisoned.
Killing! It’s worse than a beast! As the son of man, I came to him to avenge this bloody sea of blood and clear my father’s wrongdoing!!"
The reason why Song Chenglian took the initiative to lay down his weapons and surrender was because he saw that the coming army was the Royal Forest Army.
He hopes that the Royal Guards can clear his father's wrongdoing.
As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhenjun was slightly startled.
He had previously praised the magistrate of Shanshui County as a good official who could be seen off by the people of the county.
Unexpectedly, I turned around and heard that the county magistrate had been wrongly accused and killed.
They also caught a man who claimed to be the son of Magistrate Song and broke into the county government office.
Breaking into the county magistrate's office is a capital crime!
But hearing what Song Chenglian said was reasonable and well-founded, he was not sure whether it was true or false for a while.
"presumptuous!!"
At this time, the door of the county magistrate's mansion suddenly opened.
Two groups of soldiers rushed out.
Following closely behind him was a high-ranking official in official uniform.
Tong San, Li Di!
Li Di looked gloomy and scolded: "The guilty minister later dared to lead gangsters into the county magistrate's office, but he dared to frame me! You really deserve to die! Kill these bandits for me!!!"
The two groups of soldiers received the order and drew their swords to kill the surrendered bandits.
Good guy!
So arrogant?
Wang Zhenjun, the general of the Royal Forest Army, was shocked by the arrogance of the judge Li Di.
This is too bold!
Originally, he just had some doubts about the authenticity of what Song Chenglian said.
But seeing this scene, Wang Zhenjun suddenly felt that this matter was not that simple.
This Li Di is simply too arrogant!
"stop."
Just when the soldiers were about to take action, a voice came from the gorgeous carriage.
But no soldiers listened to this voice!
This shows how brave these soldiers are!!
In other words, it was the people behind them who gave them the courage!!!
Wang Zhenjun's face darkened.
He drew his sword and cut off a soldier's sword with one blow, kicked the latter away and hit the gate of the government office hard, vomiting blood.
The other soldiers were startled and then stopped in fear.
"Who are you!?"
Li Di looked at Wang Zhenjun and his group with an unkind expression.
Especially the man in the carriage.
It was only after he spoke out that the imperial guard dared to take action.
Li Di's courage surprised even Wu Zhongxian.
Isn't that too arrogant?
Even my father-in-law dares to question??
Wu Zhongxian did not think that a fifth-grade general judge like Li Di was so stupid that he could not recognize the identity of the imperial guard.
Then there is only one possibility.
His backing is very strong.
So tough that he dared to kill people in front of the imperial guards!
If you are so tough and have the temperament, ask the Imperial Guard!!
Wu Zhongxian mentioned the Emperor's Sword and muttered: "My father-in-law hates people who are more arrogant than me."
The maid opened the curtain.
Wu Zhongxian walked out.
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him.
Song Chenglian and the gangsters looked expectantly.
