Chapter 39 White Dog
"Quick, keep ringing the bell for me, no one is allowed to stop!"
In Shatao Village, Zhou Pingchun yelled profusely with sweat, commanding the villagers to strike the Haotian bronze bell again and again with a heavy wooden mallet.
铛—铛—
The loud bells echoed passionately in the mountains, and a ray of morning light penetrated the dense forests of the mountains and sprinkled the light on the world.
Zhou Pingchun's pupils contracted suddenly, and a group of figures appeared on the mountain road in the distance.
The people from Zhenfusi are back.
Zhou Pingchun trembled all over, bowed his body and walked forward to meet the team, shouting in his mouth: "Shangguan, the villain is guilty, and the villain deserves death.
The Shangguan told the villain to be optimistic about the Haotian clock, but the group of mountain fools who killed thousands of knives knocked the clock off the shelf with too much force."
Cheng Juxiu raised his hand to prevent Zhou Pingchun from continuing, glanced at the broken bracket on which the clock was hanging, and turned to look at Li Ang.
Li Ang stepped forward expressionlessly, and said slowly, "Zhou Pingchun, do you know who he is?"
Zhou Pingchun looked in the direction of Li Ang's finger, looked at the ragged, yellow and thin child, and said with an ugly face: "He, he is from our village, Gan Xiaoer."
"Then do you know who Shi Sha is?"
Li Ang said calmly, "It's his parents."
Zhou Pingchun's face turned blue and purple,
Before he could say anything else, Orion Wang Liubao took a few steps forward and walked out of the crowd, knelt heavily in front of Li Ang with a "bang", and said tearfully, "Shangguan, it's all my fault, it's all my fault.
Four days ago, when I was chopping firewood on the mountain, I saw Zhou Pingchun’s white dog lying by the stream, bitten on the leg by a snake, and died of poison.
Zhou Pingchun usually treats the peasants in the village very badly. He beats and scolds whenever he wants. If any tenant farmer dares to resist, he will let the family servants beat, smash and rob.
I was very afraid of him. When I saw his white dog was dead, I wanted to turn around and leave.
But I'm so hungry.
The mountains near Shatao Village belong to his family, and 70% of all the prey hunted by the hunters must be handed over to him. I was so hungry, so I took out a knife, cut open the white dog, and cut off half of the meat , Pretending that the dog was killed and eaten by wolves, sneaked back to the village.
Unexpectedly, my cousin and relative Gan Er was also chopping firewood on the mountain that day, and he found the dead dog behind me.
His wife broke her leg some time ago, and was healed by a famous doctor in Weizhou City, and she was recuperating in bed.
Everyone in the village is poor except Zhou Pingchun, and Gan Er's family can't eat meat a few times a year.
He picked up the leftover dog meat and wanted to take it back for his wife and children to eat. Unexpectedly, Zhou Pingchun found it at the entrance of the village and pulled out the dog meat and dog hair from his arms.
That big white dog is Zhou Pingchun's favorite dog. He is usually locked in the yard and never released. Anyone, even if his son takes a second look, will beat and scold him. I don't know why he ran out and was bitten to death by a snake. .
Zhou Pingchun beat Gan Er severely, and asked him to go to the mountain to find the dog's corpse. Gan Er said that the dog was dead when he came, and showed him the snake bite wound on the dog's skin.
There are poisonous snakes infested near that stream, everyone in the village knows,
But Zhou Pingchun was so angry that he insisted that Gan Er had killed his dog, and ordered his servants to tie up Gan Er, put him in a pig cage, drag him around the village in a donkey cart, and let everyone come out to watch.
Gan Er's wife knelt on the ground dragging her lame leg, pleading with Zhou Pingchun together with her son, and was slapped more than a dozen times by him.
Zhou Pingchun had Gan Er hung upside down from a tree, personally burned his hair, smoked his eyes, whipped him with a whip dipped in salt water, and refused to give him a sip of water.
I want to come out to testify for Gan Er, but I am afraid, I am really afraid, Shangguan,
Zhou Pingchun does harm without blinking an eye,
When he was tired from the beating, he ordered Gan Er to be **** next to the well and exposed to the sun in the dog days of June. No one was allowed to let Gan Er go.
At night, Gan Er was tortured to the last breath, and died as soon as he got home.
When I rushed over, Gan Er's daughter-in-law and her son also hanged themselves, because the family had no way of life and offended Zhou Pingchun.
My sister-in-law is dead, and my nephew Gan Xiaoer is light and has not been hanged yet.
I rescued him from the rope, fearing that Zhou Pingchun would kill him too, so I told the villagers that Gan Xiaoer threw himself into the river, and I carried Gan Er and his wife out to bury him.
Hide Gan Xiaoer on the mountain and bring him food at night.
As a result, the next night, Gan Xiaoer told me that his parents were alive and crawled out of the soil.”
"Wang Liubao!"
The sharp and angry shout interrupted Wang Liubao's confusing narration,
"You **** slave!"
Zhou Pingchun stood up from the ground, rushed to Wang Liubao, slapped him twice, and kicked him down, "What the **** are you talking about?! Did I kill Gan Er?
Is there evidence? Who will testify for you?
who? ! "
Zhou Pingchun's cold and violent eyes swept across the villagers present, and all the villagers turned pale and dared not say a word.
"Shangguan,"
Zhou Pingchun turned his head, his face changed in an instant, flattering and ingratiating, he said to the astonished Zhenfu Division: "Wang Liubao and Gan'er's family are relatives, he must be afraid that Gan'er's family will become demons and implicate him. , deliberately talking nonsense, framing.
Shangguan, you are so clear, you will definitely be able to return the villain’s innocence.”
噗—
The sound of gold and iron rubbing interrupted Zhou Pingchun's narration.
Li Ang silently drew out the plain knife from the waist of a Zhenfu Division soldier, and walked towards Zhou Pingchun.
Wang Liubao's wailing sounded in his ears, and Li Ang's own voice echoed in his mind.
‘By the way, you also take the rest of the gypsum powder and linen home. '
‘Come back to me in a month. If I’m not there, take off the plaster cast and re-wrap it yourself. Remember to wait a month later, and don’t wrap it too tightly. '
‘Also, you can eat more fish, shrimp and eggs during the fracture period. '
‘You can also eat more meat’
‘In short, eat whatever is good. '
eat more meat,
eat more meat,
Eat more meat.
Li Ang's throat tightened, he held a heavy simple knife, and approached Zhou Pingchun step by step.
"Shangguan, Shangguan!"
Zhou Pingchun backed away with a pale face, and said very fast: "Shangguan, you can't kill me, I am innocent, I didn't kill Gan Er, he died by himself.
Gan’s second wife also hanged herself. "
Hoo—
The heavy blade was slowly raised, breaking through the air.
"Shangguan, I have a lot of money, a lot of money, how much do you want? Thousands of money? Wan Guan? I know many important people in Weizhou City, and we are close friends."
Pu Dao was raised high above his head, reflecting the rays of the morning sun.
"You can't kill me!"
Zhou Pingchun, who fell on the ground, had a distorted face, and finally he couldn't see the obsequious and flattering expression on his face, "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, how can you convict me just because of Wang Liubao's self-talk?! "
Pu Dao swung down.
"Princess!"
Zhou Pingchun shouted at the top of his voice, and finally, the blade stopped.
"That's Princess Le'an's dog."
Zhou Pingchun's eyes were wide open, bloodshot in his eyes, and he shouted hoarsely: "Princess Le'an likes all kinds of rare and precious dogs, especially white dogs with a clean and flawless body without a trace of variegation.
I spent a lot of money to cultivate such a one, entrusted the relationship of the princess's mansion, and prepared to send it over.
Things have been decided, and after half a month, the dog will be fatter and more beautiful, and sent to Chang'an.
That is the dog of Princess Le'an, the dog of the prince's daughter,
You can’t kill me, you dare not kill me.”
Cheng Juxiu and Niu Wenshu's faces became extremely ugly. The father of Princess Le'an was the younger brother of Emperor Yu, who was named King of Song.
"Did you kill a man because of a dog?"
Li Ang's expression was complicated and absurd, he choked for breath, and slowly withdrew the knife.
Zhou Pingchun heaved a sigh of relief as if he had been relieved from a heavy burden, and with a smug smile, he was about to stand up from the ground.
Next second.
sand-
The sound of the metal knife cutting through the throat sounded,
Zhou Pingchun looked at Li Ang who swung the simple knife in disbelief,
He lowered his head in a daze, and glanced at his neck that had been cut open by the knife point.
呲—
Blood spurted out,
Zhou Pingchun raised his trembling palm in a panic, and tightly covered his throat, but he couldn't stop the rush of blood at all, splashing and gushing from the gap between his fingers.
