The horses' hooves clacked and people shouted, but it was no use. The standing man remained motionless. Fortunately, the horseman was so skilled that he narrowly passed by him.
"Looking for death!"
The horseman broke out in a cold sweat and turned around to scold him, then whipped him.
Liu Kui finally came to his senses after the whip hit his body hard and the burning pain made him look around. The sky was dark.
How long has he been standing...
Liu Kui looked at the official hall aside, which was already closed and locked.
Only Fan Jianglin said it was useless, useless...
I will watch you! I will watch you!
Liu Kui murmured, raising his feet and taking steps.
There are more than 2,000 people in Linguan Village, and there are still a hundred people...
Witness, witness.
Liu Kui suddenly stopped, clenched his fists, and ran away.
A burst of noise broke the silence of the night, and the small alley became a little noisy.
"Get out! Get out!"
cried a woman's voice.
"I beg you, I beg you."
Liu Kui also shouted and pushed the door firmly with his hand.
The woman was no match for him. The door was pushed open easily, but a man rushed over and hit Liu Kui hard with the stick in his hand.
There was a snap and the wooden stick was broken. Liu Kui half-knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand to touch his shoulder, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
There was a moment of silence in front of the door. The woman turned pale with fright, and the man with half a stick in his hand was also stunned.
It seemed that he didn't expect him to avoid it.
Liu Kui laughed and knelt down on the remaining half of his legs.
"I, Liu Kui, have never knelt down to anyone except the Master of Heaven and Earth. Today I kneel down for you." He said, "I just ask you to stand up and say something fair."
The man dropped the half stick in his hand.
"I have nothing to say." He said, turned inward, and "closed the door."
"I know that at the beginning, you were few in number, the situation was dangerous, and there were no reinforcements. Even if you stayed, you couldn't save Xu Maoxiu and the others. Their death had nothing to do with you at all. It was not to resent anyone, but just wanted recognition and recognition that they were willing to die.
Fang Zhonghe can still get rewards for defending the city, but he can still get rewards for deserting halfway. Why can't they? This is unfair, unfair." Liu Kui said with a hoarse voice, looking up at the man's back, "At that time, he acted dangerously.
Later, they were isolated without reinforcements, and you couldn't save them even if you wanted to. But it's different now. Now someone is asking. Now the court sends people to ask about their affairs. The court is going to make the decision. Now that the court has made the decision, you can save them.
You can, as long as you say a word, say justice, you can save them. I beg you, please save them. You can save them. If you can save them now, only you can save them.
!I beg you!”
Liu Kui kowtowed as he spoke.
The woman looked on, shaking her sleeves and crying, and her body was shaking.
The man's back seemed to be shaking slightly, but he still raised his feet and stepped forward.
"Close the door," he said again.
"Da Lang..." the woman couldn't help shouting.
"Close the door!" the man suddenly shouted in a loud voice, walked into the house and closed the hall door.
The woman sighed, looked at Liu Kui who was kneeling and kowtowing outside the door, and closed the door.
The night is getting darker and darker, the lights in the small courtyard are extinguished one by one, a night curfew has been imposed in the border area, and the sky and the earth are pitch black.
The woman tiptoed through the crack in the door and looked out. There was a place in the dark alley that was a little darker. If she looked carefully, she could see a kneeling human figure.
The woman turned around quietly and entered the house.
The room was dark with lights.
"He's still kneeling." The woman whispered, looking into the dark room. After adjusting to the light in the room, she saw the man sitting on the couch.
The man said nothing and fell down on the couch. The woman sat over but did not lie down.
The room was silent for a moment, with only the sound of breathing.
"Da Lang."
"Shut up."
The room was silent again.
"Dalang,.."
"I told you to shut up!"
"Da Lang, will your heart feel at ease if you keep your mouth shut?"
The man sat up suddenly.
"What do you want to do?" he whispered through gritted teeth.
The couple sat looking at each other in the darkness.
"...He is right, you can save them now." The woman whispered.
"Crazy! If a person is dead, what else can be saved?" the man said angrily, and was about to lie down again.
The woman grabbed him.
"Does a person die in vain when he dies?" she said tremblingly.
"What else can I do if I don't die in vain!" the man said angrily.
The woman was silent for a moment.
"Da Lang, I also heard on the street that the imperial court is really investigating these things again, and Fang Zhonghe is so anxious that it even scares the Lord. Otherwise, how could he arrest Xu Sigen? Da Lang, if
If we stand up and testify, maybe we can..." she said tremblingly.
"Shut up! You are impatient!" the man shouted in a low voice.
"I just don't want you to be a coward in your life, with this stone in your heart weighing on you all your life." The woman cried, "Rather than doing this, it would be better to just die. It would be a happy life."
The man lay down and pulled the quilt to cover him and stopped talking.
The woman wiped her tears and cried.
"Fan Jianglin was driven away and Xu Sigan was arrested. It's already so difficult. There are still people running for him like this, and there are still people who pity him. If it doesn't work out in the end, there will really be no hope for people and the world."
"There is no hope in the human heart."
The cry was low and slowly faded into silence.
As the night faded and the sky grew brighter, the woman opened her eyes and saw that the man beside her had disappeared. She quickly stood up and opened the door to see the man opening the courtyard door.
The weather in the northwest has turned cooler in early September, and a figure knelt straight in the morning fog.
The man's hand holding the door paused.
He actually knelt all night!
"What are you planning on?" he asked dully.
Liu Kui looked up at him and grinned.
"Fair." He said.
"So what if it's fair? It's just a name, so what's the use to them?" the man said.
Liu Kui smiled.
"Yes, it's useless. The dead are useless, but aren't there still people alive? Are there so many people alive like them?" he said, pointing behind him, "For the sake of justice for the dead, for the sake of justice,
Those who are alive will not be deceived in the future."
The man looked at him and walked over.
"Okay, I'll do it justice," he said, holding out his hand.
Liu Kui looked at him, seemingly in disbelief. It wasn't until the man reached forward again that he came to his senses and stretched out his hand to hold it.
The man pulled him up forcefully, and the two held their hands tightly.
The woman who saw this scene raised her hands to wipe her tears at the door of the house, but she had a smile on her face.
Liu Kui limped and turned around.
"Where are you going?" the man asked after being stunned.
"I'll look for justice again." Liu Kui said, turning back and grinning at him, "If I can find you, I will definitely find more."
The man looked at him and followed him up.
"I'll go with you," he said. "It's faster and easier for two of us to find him."
………………………………………….
The galloping horse, relying on the gold medal in its hands and the yellow silk behind the rider, entered the official hall of Longgu City without any hindrance.
"Accept the order."
Accompanied by the shrill voice of the eunuch delivering the order, all the generals in Longgu City knelt down and prostrated themselves in the official hall, listening to the emperor's instructions.
What he said was still the same as last time, but the tone was a bit harsher than last time. It seemed that the people in Beijing were causing quite a stir.
Jiang Wenyuan snorted coldly in his heart. At this time, the conveyance of the decree was finished. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted to the minister to take it.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty wants the results immediately." The chamberlain said, saying goodbye to the generals and asking him to rest, he seemed to be about to rush back to the capital with the results immediately, without any delay.
Are you really in such a hurry?
"It's so urgent, we can't delay it any longer," the chamberlain said.
Jiang Wenyuan glanced at Zhou Fengxiang, but Zhou Fengxiang avoided his gaze and said nothing.
"Sir, the matter has been investigated." Jiang Wenyuan said with a smile, holding up a memorial, "They are all false claims. After checking one by one, there is no evidence to confirm the five of them. It can be confirmed that this is
Fan Jianglin and others are angry and threatening revenge."
The chamberlain looked at him and then at the memorial in his hand.
"Are you sure?" he asked, with a bit of solemnity.
"I'm sure." Jiang Wenyuan said without hesitation.
The chamberlain nodded before speaking when an emergency call sounded outside the door.
"My lord, something is wrong."
A soldier galloped in, stopped outside the door and shouted.
It was so bold. The expressions of everyone present changed. No matter what happened, you could not shout in the presence of angels!
The general standing near the door wanted to drink up immediately, but he was still a step too late.
"Many people came outside the door, saying they were survivors of the battle to defend the city at Linguan Village, and they wanted to testify to Xu Sigan and Fan Jianglin's demands!"
What?
Everyone present was stunned. Jiang Wenyuan's face instantly turned ugly, and Angel's slightly dry voice sounded in his ears.
"Master Jiang, what does this mean?" (To be continued)
