Chapter 323 The sky has eyes
The place He Datou went to was a town called Gaoyang, located thirty miles northwest of the city. In addition to He Datou, he was accompanied by twenty Yulin troops.
The Yulin Army rode high-headed war horses. The group rode fast and arrived at Gaoyang Town in less than half a watch.
The official in charge of criminal law only knew that the family who often complained lived in Gaoyang Town, and did not know the specific location. However, Gaoyang Town was not big. The group dismounted from outside the town and followed the sound of the bangle to find a watchman. After questioning,
I got the location of that house and went there quietly under the cover of night.
Seeing that there were no official guards outside the victim's yard, he and Datou looked at each other. Could it be that he was too worried and the local government didn't send anyone to block the person who complained?
Just as the two looked at each other in confusion, they suddenly heard what sounded like crying in the room. They listened carefully and found that someone was indeed crying.
This family was relatively well off and lived in a courtyard with a courtyard wall and a gatehouse. When they heard the cry, the two of them lifted up their spirits and climbed up to the courtyard wall.
The door inside was closed, and since there were no lights in the room, the two of them could not see what was going on inside.
Just when he was hesitating whether to go in and take a look, the boss on the side stretched out his hand and pointed, "Sir, take a look."
Following what Da Tou pointed at, he saw a wooden stick placed next to the door. As a court official, he naturally recognized it as a killing stick used by officials.
In just an instant, murderous intent arose. These damn corrupt officials, fearing that the people would file a complaint, ignored their own stern warnings and sent people to block the victim at home who wanted to file a complaint.
The reason why the official sent to look after the owner did not guard the yard outside was for two reasons. One was to ensure that the family could not run out to complain, and the other was to worry that if the news leaked, he would be punished.
What does it mean to know the law and break the law? This is called knowing the law and breaking the law.
What does knowingly commit a crime mean? This is called knowingly committing a crime.
What is courting death? This is courting death.
Just when the anger was boiling, a voice of scolding came from the room, "Stop crying, you are so damn frustrated. If you cry again, I will beat you to death."
"As official servants, you broke into private houses without permission. Are there any laws against this?" the old man's voice said.
"Wang Fa? Humph, we are Wang Fa in Lizhou." The person who spoke was not the one who scolded him before, but his tone was arrogant, and he was undoubtedly an official.
Then came the old man's sigh and the woman's cry.
"You're still crying?! What the hell, mother," the official scolded angrily, "I've really made things miserable for you two old guys. Every time we file a complaint, we've suffered so much trouble and suffered so much in the past few years."
"My son died unjustly. He didn't kill anyone." The old woman said with a tearful voice.
"He has pleaded guilty and been remanded, and the case has been closed.
Just admit it." The official's voice sounded.
"It was you who confused right and wrong and beat you into submission," the old woman cried. "You were afraid that he would cry out for injustice during the execution, so you cut out his tongue. My poor child, my son."
"Fuck, I'll make you cry, I'll make you cry." The officer yelled and at the same time, the sound of slapping came from the room.
"Don't hit her, don't hit her." The old man stopped him urgently.
"Looking at you two old guys every day, I'm so damn frustrated." The officer was still angry.
"Two officials, please compare your feelings. You also have parents, wives and children. If your family members are wronged, will you avenge them?" The old man seemed to have read a book and his words were quite coherent. "If the officials decide the case fairly, there is nothing wrong.
Why should we be afraid of us suing for justice? Let us go to see the inspector from the court and explain the reasons in detail. Let him decide what is right and wrong and understand right and wrong. If we make trouble unreasonably, the official who comes from above will not let us off lightly.
.”
"Old Boss Wang," the official said, "what are you two doing? You are old, so don't worry about filing a complaint. When you went to Beijing to file a complaint before, you were ignored by us.
I'll chase you back, and then I'll charge you with picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and you'll be imprisoned for half a month. Just listen to my advice and admit it."
"Officer, what you are saying is," the old man said, "we are both old and can no longer sue. I heard someone said that a high official has come to the state. Anyone with grievances can come to redress their grievances. You can do it."
Okay, just let us two go."
"Tsk, you two old guys really won't shed tears until you see the coffin." The irritable official scolded again.
"My lord, my lord," the old man said eagerly, "this is our house deed, and the land deed for more than ten acres. In order to redress my son's injustice over the years, the Wang family has been ruined, and only these things are left. You two don't want it.
If you dislike it, accept it quietly and let us two out. We will never betray you. If we are caught again, just say that we escaped after you were tired and fell asleep."
"Oh, you still want to bribe us," the irritable official said in a strange tone, "Old Sun, it seems that you have taken advantage of these two old people in recent years. The two old people came to the state to file a complaint the year before last. Did you let them go?
Leaving?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I haven't taken any advantage from them." Another official quickly denied.
"You two old guys just give up on this idea," the irritable official scolded. "That Li killed dozens of officials, big and small, in Jeju, and his methods were comparable to Wu Zhou's cruel official Lai Junchen. We can't let you see him.
.”
"If my son has no grievances, even if he sees him, he will not bring trouble to the state officials." The old man said.
.
"I told you, you can't see him," said the irritable official. "Hey, Old Sun, I heard that this little guy is not very old and is a Taoist priest. Why do you think he is so ruthless? Dozens of officials say he will kill him."
Just kill without batting an eye."
"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say, and be careful that walls have ears and you may cause trouble by talking nonsense." Another official stopped him hurriedly.
"Fuck, I'm so scared."
Hearing this, Datou could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, jumped down, and broke through the door with his feet, "Fuck you, are you really not afraid?!"
He did not enter the house with Datou. After landing, he opened the door latch of the courtyard door, and the Yulin army outside the door immediately rushed in.
After walking out of the courtyard and waiting outside, I heard Da Tou yelling and screaming from the officer. Needless to say, Da Tou was furiously beating me.
The Yulin army all carried torches with them. The torches were lit, illuminating the inside and outside of the house as brightly as day.
The sudden sound and light alerted the neighbors. By the time everyone went out to investigate, Da Tou had already dragged an official out of the house by his hair.
Although Datou is small, he is a martial arts practitioner. It is not difficult to drag the official with a bloody nose. When he went out, he picked up the killing stick placed next to the door. He wanted to beat him up in the courtyard, but he saw many people gathered outside.
The villagers dragged the official outside the door, picked up a killing stick and hit him on the head, causing his head to bleed.
The two of them came out this time with official uniforms, He Datou wore official uniforms, and the Yulin Army also wore military uniforms. The villagers knew that he was an official, and although they saw him ruthlessly attacking him, they did not dare to come to stop him.
Xiangzheng, who also lived nearby, saw that something was going on in the Wang family, so he hurriedly braved the situation and stepped forward to explain his origins and ask for the reason.
"I am Fu Datou, the supervisory censor of the Yushitai, with an official residence of the fifth rank." Datou flashed his official seal and said to Xiangzheng, "Immediately you sound the gong and call all the villagers here. The gong is too late, and you are included."
Beat to death."
After Datou finished speaking, he hit the irritable official who was covering his head with another stick, this time hitting his legs, "Kneel down!"
This stick directly broke Guan Cha's left leg. Guan Cha screamed and fell to the ground.
Da Tou still couldn't get over his anger, so he hit him again with a stick and broke his right leg.
The leg was broken and the stick was broken. Big Tou threw away the broken stick and cursed at the wailing official, "As an official, you should care for the people and uphold justice. What did you do? You pretended to be powerful and bullied the weak.
Even if you beat the old woman, why did the imperial court keep such a piece of shit like you?"
When the villagers saw the official covered in blood and heard his screams, the timid ones did not dare to watch and wanted to leave. Seeing this, Datou raised his eyebrows and raised his hands, "No one is allowed to leave. Anyone who leaves will be killed."
."
Hearing the big threats, the villagers
People were as silent as cicadas, neither daring to say a word nor daring to leave.
The gong sounded soon, and Xiang Zheng struck the gong himself to summon the villagers to come here.
Seeing Datou pull out the saber from the waist of one of the Yulin soldiers, knowing what he was going to do next, he turned around and wanted to walk away. At this moment, two old men walked out of the courtyard tremblingly.
This old man was a knowledgeable man. When he saw that he was wearing a purple official uniform, he immediately knew that he was an important official of the imperial court. He pulled the old woman and fell to her knees, kowtowed repeatedly and cried for your lord.
Seeing the two of them burst into tears and wailing, I instantly thought of my past self. When everyone in the Wang family wanted to beat Lao Huang to death and eat them, he threw himself on Lao Huang. Everyone wanted to beat him to death together.
Yes, at that time, besides helplessness, I only felt sadness in my heart.
It was at that critical moment that Master and several senior brothers and sisters appeared and rescued him and Lao Huang. At that time, my mood was the same as that of the old couple in front of me. Master and several senior brothers and sisters were all my benefactors.
I wanted to help the two old people up, but the old people were so sad and excited that they could not stand up.
He had no choice but to stand up on his own and said, "Don't worry, I will personally re-examine the case. If your son is really wronged, I will definitely rectify his name and restore his innocence. All officials involved in the case will be severely punished."
"
Hearing the words, the two old people became more and more excited. The old woman cried and fainted, and the old man was almost crazy, "The sky has eyes, the sky has eyes!"
Before all the villagers had arrived, Da Tou shouted, "Yushitai supervises the administration of officials in the Tang Dynasty and accepts grievances against Lizhou. The notice clearly states that if local officials dare to prevent the people from redressing their grievances, they will immediately kill the three tribes."
, this officer knowingly violated the law, despised the law, and enforced the law on the spot to serve as a warning to others."
After saying this, the big head chopped off. I don't know whether it was intentional or overly excited. He chopped off the target. The violent officer screamed and rolled on the spot.
When the strike failed, he tried again and missed again. At this time, he realized that he had done it on purpose. He wanted to stop him, but when he thought of what the officer had done before, he had no choice but to chop him seven or eight times before he was completely killed.
, the death was bloody and horrific.
The other police officer was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. Da Tou did not let him go, but this man's behavior was not as despicable as the violent police officer, so he gave him a good beating.
The villagers had never seen such a bloody scene before. They were so frightened that they fainted. They stabbed the guards in the face and looked at them.
He did not speak to everyone, but ordered the township to send carriages and horses to take the two old people to the prefectural government office. After saying this, he turned around and left.
