Chapter 660 Make a mess in the mourning hall, want to play dirty? Yes
"Kill me! Let me go! Let me go!"
Under the severe pain, Qiu Shen's third brother seemed to be paralyzed by the pain. Half of his body seemed to be paralyzed. He kicked his legs desperately and tried to open the big hand that held his right arm, but it was of no use.
"Mr. Song and her daughter are, after all, the wives and flesh and blood left behind by your eldest brother. You are relying on the relationship between the enemy and the clan to persecute them. Is it true that your consciences have been eaten by dogs!?"
Xiao Tang, who strangled the third brother Qiu Shen's arm, had a cold expression on his face, looked around coldly at the enemy's children present, and shouted in a cold voice.
In shock and anger, Qiu Jia saw that the man who took action was the man named Renxia who Ye Qing said saved Song Zhenniang and sent her back to Mianshang County. If you weren't such a troublesome guy, teach Song Zhenniang how to do it. If I go with my eldest brother, why should I waste my time!?
When Qiu Jia thought of this, he pointed at Xiao Tang and cursed: "We, the Qiu clan, are doing the housework of an outsider like you again!? Well, let me tell you that your relationship is strange. My eldest brother was raped by a thief. Damn it, how come you rescued Song Zhenniang by chance? There is really something hidden in this, could it be that Song Zhenniang went out and found you as a mistress..."
Before Qiu Jia could finish his words, he suddenly felt his eyes blurred. Xiao Tang's body had rushed in front of him like a demonic lightning, and he raised his arm and slapped Qiu Jia hard on the face. !
Qiu Jia was slapped by Xiao Tang and spun on the spot. Stars were flying in front of his eyes, and cymbals were buzzing in his head. Xiao Tang still had some strength left in his hands. Although these birds were hateful, they were always He would not kill his biological brother in the funeral hall of the deceased.
But despite this, Qiu Jia was still slapped so hard by Xiao Tang that he collapsed to the ground. Xiao Tang snorted coldly and said: "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth, and spit out blood, but It's you who wants to be beaten!"
Seeing that their elders were being humiliated, the other blood descendants of the Qiu family were immediately furious. They pointed at Xiao Tang and yelled curses. There were also a few brave and fierce young men who rolled up their sleeves and punched their fists, and rushed towards Xiao Tang.
But before those young men could take a few steps forward, two of them suddenly felt their necks tighten. They were picked up from behind as if they were catching chickens, and their four legs were flopping desperately in the air. The two Qiu disciples were even more frightened when they looked back. Because the person who mentioned them was a black man with a body like an iron tower. The man's face was as black as black paint, and he looked like a man who was really angry. Stove Lord, if he is not Niu Gao, who can he be?
Thunder seemed to burst out from between Niu Gao's teeth. He raised his arms one after another and threw the two Qiu disciples away. The two people hit the walls around the mourning hall hard and fainted immediately. Niu Gao passed out. Then he glared hard and yelled: "Straight bitch! I don't think any of you donkeys and birds dare to move!?"
Xiao Tang was born with a good face, but when Niu Gao got angry again, he really looked like a fierce and easy-to-kill green forest bandit. The other Qiu family members were stunned with shock. Their hands were trembling and their feet were numb. How could they dare to act rashly? And the honest Niu Gao glanced towards Xiao Tang, and thought in his heart: Brother, too, just now I wanted to teach these bastards a lesson and you refused, but you did it first and beat me smoothly, and you didn't know me. A sound...
Niu Gao's fierce appearance shocked all the relatives of the Qiu clan who were present and did not dare to act rashly. Only a few of the mother-in-laws who were left were going to fight in a hurry, but now they only dared to sit on the ground, crying and howling. They started to throw a lot of noise, shouting that the people like us were suffering and would be bullied by the bad guys.
Qiu Jia, half of his face red and swollen from being slapped by Xiao Tang, stood up tremblingly. He covered his face with one hand, pointed at Xiao Tang and Niu Gao with the other and said, "Okay, you guys dare to hit someone! I You don’t seem to be a good person, I’m afraid you are also working with the thieves! This is the county town, don’t leave, I won’t call the county government officials to come and arrest you!”
Hua Rong next to him was also very angry when he heard this. He kicked over the Qiu family's children who were blocking his eyes, strode to the center of the mourning hall, glared and shouted: "You unruly people, you are so courageous! He actually slandered the dignified envoy of the Xin'an Army, Mr. Xiao Tangxiao, the second-rank Privy Councilor in the imperial court! Everyone knows it when they commit rebellion! I think the ones who want to be sued are you guys!"
When Hua Rong shouted, all the Qiu disciples present were stunned. Speaking of which, although Ye Qing reported to Qiu Jia and others that it was Xiao Tang who rescued Song Zhenniang in Shishi Mountain, he respected Xiao Tang's name. , so it was just mentioned before that Xiao Renxia, who was well-known in the world, came to the rescue. Qiu Jia heard the name of Renxia, but he only thought that he was an incompetent person who was hanging around in the world. He only thought about how to take advantage of him. After losing his eldest brother's inheritance, he didn't bother to ask Ye Qing in detail about Xiao Tang's identity.
If the man in front of me is really a high-ranking official in the court, my lord, isn’t it true that we can do this!?
Among the Qiu family's descendants who have lived in the countryside for a long time and have little experience, Qiu Shen and others probably know that the Privy Council seems to be a very luxurious place in the Song Dynasty court. As for the official rank of the second rank and the official position of Jiedushi, they also know very well what they can do. Those who hold such important positions are all big shots in Mianshang County who would make the whole county tremble if they stomped on them. Even if Qiu Shen was still alive, he was just a big family in the county. It was common for him to meet a seventh-grade county magistrate. You have to nod and bow down, for fear of offending the other party. People don’t fight with officials, let alone a high-ranking official in the court who is from the second rank, how can you win with him!?
Qiu Jia covered his cheek and looked blankly in the direction of Ye Qing. Ye Qing, who was about to come out to persuade peace, thought about it for a while, but finally took back his hand. He looked at Qiu Shen coldly and snorted heavily: "This What the general said is true, Xiao Renxia is not only a famous hero in the world, but also an important court official who holds an important position in the capital court and is highly regarded by the officials!"
Qiu Jia shuddered with excitement. He remembered that he had just accused Xiao Tang of having an affair with Song Zhenniang, and insisted that he had a close relationship with the strong man of the green forest. It was like tearing apart eight yang bones and pouring down half a bucket. The ice and snow water was so frightening that most of his soul seemed to have drifted away. Qiu Jia cried out in his heart about the pain of Lianzhujian. He trembled and begged Xiao Tang for mercy one after another: "Master Haihan is just like this! The villain is really blind. , I actually hit this lord! I have a lot of lords, so I hope you won’t argue with the villain.”
The logic doesn't make sense to you. Do you have to be in the face of official power and coercion to give in?
Xiao Tang looked coldly at Qiu Jia, who was shaking like chaff, and the other earth-colored Qiu family members in the mourning hall. He thought to himself: Although these people are all ordinary people, there are always some unscrupulous people who only do it for their own selfish desires. Morally corrupt, facing the coercion of the government and the butcher's knife of bandits, they will become a group of vulnerable groups crying and complaining, but when they face people who are more vulnerable and bullyable than themselves, they will not have any compassion in their hearts. Heart, justice, conscience, and truth are actually nothing to them. You guys are groveling because you are afraid of power, but you have just said half of your words to Qiongying and her son, an orphan and a widowed mother. Some kindness?
Do you want to play dirty? You can do that too.
"According to the law of the Song Dynasty, "Song Xingtong: Laws of Thieves and Thieves": evil words spread confusion, and people with such lust will be caught and searched for, and they will be punished with heavy sticks according to the relevant gang members! In this section, the commander will go to Hedong Road.
On official business, he rescued the daughter of the Song family outside Mianshang County and returned her to the local area. Conner and other unscrupulous people did not tell the offender. Not only did they slander this commander, they also intended to slander him and fabricated rumors that he was related to the bandits who were causing trouble in Hedong.
! Inciting people to panic, you... are really courageous!"
Xiao Tang looked grim, sneered, and said calmly to Qiu Jia. But Qiu Jia was already so frightened that he lost his mind, but when he heard Xiao Tang's words, he immediately rolled his eyes and fainted.
In fact, although the Song Dynasty's "Song Xingtong: Laws of Thieves and Thieves" does have such an article, Xiao Tang also deliberately wanted to scare the shit out of these Qiu's descendants. Although there were slander charges in ancient China, they had already been punished by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.
It was terminated. Later, neither the "Tang Laws and Regulations" of the Tang Dynasty nor the "Song Xingtong" of the Song Dynasty, which largely inherited the laws of the Tang Dynasty, no longer retained the "defamation crime".
Excluding cases of literary inquisition in later generations and the old and new party struggles in the Song Dynasty, where political opponents used widely circulated articles to manipulate each other. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, Li Yanying, who was also a signatory to the Privy Council, once said: "Only right and wrong can be discussed by old friends.
, if everything the court does is true, there is nothing to discuss." Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, where the public opinion environment was relatively relaxed among previous dynasties, scholars often gathered together to slander the official government. The gains and losses of current affairs were discussed by the scholars and the people, and "
Song Xingtong: Laws of Thieves and Thieves mainly targets crimes such as deliberately inciting people to rebel, but there is still a big difference in motivation. Xiao Tang used such a crime to intimidate the children of the Qiu clan, which is also a bit of a crime of "wanting to inflict crimes."
, there’s no need to worry.”
But don’t you want to play dirty? Let’s see who can play harder first.
Most of the Qiu family's children were common people who had little knowledge. Who would be familiar with the laws of the Song Dynasty? To lay out such crimes for them, and then use some connections to kill them all was a way for high officials to coerce the people. Although Xiao Tang also
They didn't really use it, but they still scared the rest of the enemy relatives to the point of kneeling on the ground. They kowtowed towards Xiao Tang, begging Grandpa, Grandma, and Sir Waihao to have mercy and spare the lives of the common people.
So much.
Xiao Tang didn't pay attention to the children of his enemies who were crying to him, but stepped forward to help up little Qiongying who was pushed down. The tears on Qiongying's face were not dry, and she stared blankly at the chaos in front of her.
The scene. Although Qiongying also knew very well that it was Xiao Tang who helped the mother and son again, but seeing this scene also made her a little scared.
Xiao Tang looked at the panicked Qiong Ying, suddenly smiled, and joked to her: "These people bully your mother, how do you think they should be punished? Should they be pulled out and punished by kneeling? Or hit them with a board?
