Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 135 Injustice.

In the lobby of the mansion at the moment.

After a brief conversation, Li Xiuyuan got to know the situation of this middle-aged man who sharpened his knife all day and night.

His name is Wei Hu, and he is a native of Guobei City. Because he is tall and burly, he earns a living by looking after people's homes and nursing homes. fate.

Because the Shunfeng Escort Bureau in Guobei City was also opened by his Li family.

Li Xiuyuan said at this moment: "Wei Hu, although I am not an official of the imperial court, nor am I a dignitary here, but as a scholar, if someone has a grievance and has nowhere to go, I should write a lawsuit for him and give him a piece of justice. Otherwise, what's the use of reading this book of sages?"

"It's just that whether you have been wronged or not is not up to me. After all, the world is big and the fist... No, the reason is the most important. If it is unreasonable, even if I write the petition for you and hand it in to the yamen, you will not be able to win the lawsuit." Words are useless."

"Young Master Li is very true, but I really have grievances." Wei Hu said sadly.

"Since there are grievances, why don't you talk about them? I don't know your grievances, how can I write the pleadings for you?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Wei Hu gritted his teeth at this moment, hesitated for a while and said: "It's not that I can't trust Mr. Li, but this matter, this matter has something to do with the Chu family."

Chu family?

Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment; "Which Chu family?"

"Of course it's the biggest Chu family in Guo Beicheng," Wei Hu said.

"Do you think that I will also be afraid of the power of the Chu family and dare not write a pleading for you?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Wei Hu was a little disappointed and said, "A scholar promised to write the pleadings for me before, but when he heard that the matter was related to the Chu family, he immediately rejected me, saying that this case does not need to be dealt with, and cannot be won."

"I don't care what other people think, but I'm not afraid of the Chu family. If you believe me once, tell me the facts of the case. If there is any grievance, I will write a complaint for you." Li Xiuyuan said.

It is very common for a scholar to write petitions to defend people's grievances. He is not the only one doing this, because in the case of a lawsuit in the yamen, scholars have to be invited to present to express their grievances, and if no scholar is invited, the case will be lost. The possibility is very high, even if you don't lose, the big case will become a small case, and the small case will be closed on the spot.

Although it sounds a bit child's play, it is actually the case.

Hearing what Li Xiuyuan said, Wei Hu knelt down in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li."

"I haven't avenged you yet. It's too early for you to thank me. Get up quickly and don't just kneel." Li Xiuyuan quickly helped him up.

Wei Hu was still very grateful and said: "Whether this matter is successful or not, I will never forget Mr. Li's great kindness in my life."

"Let's not talk about this now, you have to tell me your grievances in detail, so that I can write the pleadings and avenge your grievances." Li Xiuyuan said.

Wei Hu nodded, and seemed to be recalling the unbearable past, and said with a sad expression: "This happened last year, and it was probably around this time. My wife Wei died because her mother was seriously ill. Because of this, I hired a carriage one morning to go back to my mother’s house to visit the sick, but I didn’t know that the wheels of the carriage broke not long after leaving the city, and my wife Wei had to abandon the carriage and walk back to her mother’s house alone.”

"But, who would have known that my wife met Wang Tong, the housekeeper of the Chu family, on the way. Seeing that my wife was on the road alone, that Wang Tong was taken aback, and ordered his subordinates to take my wife into captivity. There are more than a dozen people, more than a dozen people, this group of beasts insulted my wife in the nearby woods, and when I got the news and arrived, my wife had already hanged herself from a tree."

Speaking of this, Wei Hu's eyes were red, he was filled with grief and indignation, and he clenched his fists tightly, wishing to cut those beasts into pieces.

"Mr. Li, don't you know that my wife was still pregnant at that time, and she was three months pregnant."

Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan was shocked immediately, not to mention Wei Hu's grief and anger, what he heard was also full of anger.

There are such beasts in this world.

"Mr. Li, I reported the incident to the government, but the people of the Chu family are powerful, and the people in the government only sentenced my wife to be a bandit on the road, which has nothing to do with anyone else."

Wei Hu knelt down again, and said excitedly; "Since that day, I have stopped thinking about revenge all the time, wanting to kill that Wang Tong and a dozen subordinates of the Chu family. Sharpening the knife, I went to look for opportunities to kill that Wang Tong during the day, but I was useless, I was a waste, obviously I was only five steps away from that Wang Tong, and I dared not do it with the knife in my pocket."

"This person harmed your wife and children, why don't you dare to splatter five steps with blood?"

Li Xiuyuan stood up and said a little annoyed: "Could it be that your wife and children were killed, with such blood and blood, you dare not fight with your life?"

"Mr. Li, it's not that I don't dare, I'm not someone who is afraid of death, but if I die, what will my mother do?"

Wei Hu knelt on the ground and wailed loudly: "My mother is already in her seventies. If I kill Wang Tong and I am arrested by the government, who will support my mother, so I can only sharpen my knife every night, but I have not been able to do so for a long time. If you dare to attack, even the five handles of the waist knife have been worn out, but I haven't killed that bully until now."

"That Wang Tong is really hateful."

Li Xiuyuan was also angry in his heart, and slammed the wooden table next to him, and the hard wooden table exploded into pieces with a bang.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, I beg Mr. Li, write a pleading for me, sue that Wang Tong, and give me justice."

Wei Hu knelt down in front of Li Xiuyuan while weeping, and kowtowed.

Li Xiuyuan scolded: "What kind of pleadings are you still writing now? What's the point of fairness? This case has become a death case. There is no proof of death. How can you win the lawsuit? Besides, the Chu family has already bribed the government. You can't sue last year." Win, let alone this year."

"Then, what should we do?" Wei Hu was blindfolded for a moment.

"Who told you that you have to go to the government for revenge? If the dog officials here are reliable, Wang Tong would have been cut off long ago. Since the government is unreliable, then rely on yourself. Let me ask you, do you dare to kill people?" Li Xiuyuan asked road.

"Dare, I dare to kill. I don't think about killing Wang Tong, the steward of the Chu family, all the time, but what about my mother?" Wei Hu said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "If you dare to kill someone, it will be easy to handle. I will support your old mother and ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing. After you kill Wang Tong, don't surrender yourself. I will arrange for you to look at the grass in the mountains and rivers, and do it in the future." It's better to be a robber than to be useless here every day, if you don't avenge such a big enmity, life will be boring."

"Li, Mr. Li, are you serious?" Wei Hu suddenly raised his head and asked excitedly.

"Naturally, I will arrange everything for you, but don't shrink back when you do it." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Absolutely not, Mr. Li, don't worry, I will kill that Wang Tong even if I do my best." Wei Hu stopped crying, and said through gritted teeth.

"That's good, I'll give you a chance to kill Wang Tong, but before that, everything will be arranged by me." Li Xiuyuan said with twinkling eyes.

Wei Hu nodded repeatedly, expressing his willingness to obey orders.

"Haha, your nephew really doesn't look like a scholar at all. Other scholars go to the government to sue for others' grievances. You are lucky. Not only do you not go to court, but you take the initiative to help others plan to kill people. You are really serious in your eyes." There are no laws."

One laughed obscenely, but saw a shabby-dressed Taoist striding in from the outside.

"Uncle, the law cannot be followed. It is better to rely on yourself. Killing people to repay debts and money is the greatest truth of the Majesty. My nephew thinks that there is nothing wrong with doing this." Li Xiuyuan was surprised at first, and then saw Taoist Mu coming , but heaved a sigh of relief, and then gave a salute.

Taoist Mu looked at Wei Hu, and said with a chuckle, "You helped him plan to kill people and arrange a way out, but you thought about what would happen to you if nothing happened?"

"It's enough to be a man with a clear conscience. No matter what you do, look forward and look backward, and cherish your reputation and feathers, you will never succeed." Li Xiuyuan looked calm and unmoved.

"You have a clear conscience, you really should be a knight, not a scholar."

Mu Taoist smiled and said: "My senior brother has already said that your character is too strong, it is true when I saw you today, but your method is a little risky, how about trying the method of Master Uncle?"

"Does uncle have a better way?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Mu Taoist pretended to be mysterious and said: "The poor Taoist made a calculation. After dawn today, Chu Tian, ​​the son of the Chu family, will send someone to your house to send an invitation to invite you to go hunting in the city tomorrow. At that time, Wang Tong, the housekeeper of the Chu family, will still be there." The subordinates will follow."

"Oh? What Uncle Master said is true? That's even better. Tomorrow, I will let Wei Hu lie in ambush nearby and wait for the opportunity." Li Xiuyuan said.

Taoist Mu shook his head and said: "Stupid, stupid, Wei Hu is just a person, how can he kill people under layers of guards? I'm afraid he will be killed by the guards of the Chu family before he rushes to his eyes. Being captured is nothing more than a life for another life, it's not worth it, it's not worth it."

"What's the master's opinion?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Taoist Mu walked up to Wei Hu and looked at it, then nodded and smiled, "Your name is Wei Hu? Well, it's a good name. You are destined to be a tiger. Why don't you become a tiger tomorrow?"

"Dao, Taoist priest, what do you mean by that?" Wei Hu asked with some doubts.

"Nephew, do you have a tiger skin in your house? Can you borrow one from me?" Taoist Mu turned around and asked without answering.

Li Xiuyuan said: "A few days ago I hunted Hei Shanjun, skinned him and left it at the mansion, but it was at the mansion in the county, not here. If the uncle wants it, I will let the guards go back overnight to get it."

"Your guard is too slow to go back and forth, poor way to get it."

Taoist Mu said and came to the door of the lobby, and waved to the night sky in the distance: "Come, come, come, where is the tiger skin of Mr. Heishan?"

At this moment, in a house in the Li Mansion of Guobei County, there is a black tiger skin.

The skin of an ordinary tiger is only half a foot long, but this black tiger's skin is nearly two feet long. Its teeth are as sharp as daggers.

This is the skin of the thousand-year-old monster, Lord Montenegro.

But at this moment, the piece of skin suddenly moved automatically without wind, and then hit the door and window with a bang and flew towards the distant sky, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
