The Four Great Cases of Wu Zetian

Chapter 14

Ask dealer Ma Rong to fight against fellow countryman Jiang Zhong and talk heart-to-heart
But he said that Di Gong was in Lu's house, and when Wu Xiaoguan went to invite Zhao's guests, after a while Ma Rong saw the big man who was pushing the cart on the road the day before yesterday, and entered the door together.Duke Di understood, so he looked at the man, and saw that he was one zhang long, with a black lacquered face, two thick eyebrows, a pair of tiger eyes, wearing thin-soled boots, short collared and narrow sleeves, a colorless jacket, throwing When fork pants.That kind of air is like a friend in the green forest.Di Gong looked him up and down, and thought to himself: This man is obviously a bandit leader. He is not a silk seller. Moreover, the figures in Zhehu Lake are all gentle and well-dressed. Look at his behavior and expression. It is our northern style.Let's wait for him and see how he does.Seeing him coming in, Lu Changbo got up and smiled and said: "As the saying goes, you can't find a chicken seller when you buy chickens. Your customer is in a small shop. You can't wait to take off the goods immediately and get the silk price so that you can go back to your place. You always want to buy chickens." Selling, there is no such seller. Someone came to buy it today, and you went to play cards again. This guest Liang is from Weiyi Duanzhuang in Beijing. In the past, I have been at your place to sit in your shop. Now because of illness halfway, I heard that Xiaoxing has I want to sell the goods here. I want to buy all the goods I have saved, but I only ask for a low price. I am afraid that the sale will fail, and I suspect that we will be in the way, so I invite you to open the market opposite, and we will only take the goods. That's it." Hearing Lu Changbo's words, the man looked Di Gong up and down in a blink of an eye, sat down and said with a smile: "My goods are sold for sale, I'm afraid this customer is a bit deceptive. Even if I agree If you sell it to him, he may not really buy it." Lu Changbo was surprised when he saw what he said, and hurriedly said: "Guest Zhao, don't make fun of me, can't I lie to you? He came from a long way to invest in a small business. Moreover, no one knows the brand of Weiyi. Not to mention your little silk, even if it is multiplied several times, he can sell it. Why do you say that he is deceiving? You are a rare commodity."

When Di Gong saw the big man say these two words, he was taken aback and said, "Why is this man's eyesight so good? Since he was not with him, how could he know that I am not a merchant? Could it be that he saw What's the flaw? If he sees it through, this man's ability can be considered. Although Ma Rong is here, he may not be able to be blessed." " Seeing him get up, the big man hurriedly bowed back and said: "My lord, please sit down. The villain sees that you are late, and I hope to pray for forgiveness." This sentence surprised Di Gong even more, because he clearly knew his position. At the end, he pretended to be surprised and said: "Brother Zun, why did you say that? We are all people in the business, why do we call it this way? Do you have any unexpected opinions? I don't know the name of Brother Zun, and how many people are there?" The big man said: " My surname is Zhao and my name is Wanquan. I have three brothers since I was young. I don’t know why my lord came here. I have something to say but I won’t visit. If I show my head and hide my tail like this, I am not a hero. I also walked through many docks and did a few amazing things. Today, I was entrusted by a friend to buy and sell here. I didn’t expect to meet my lord. What is your name and what is your current official position? My eyes can’t tell , Never lose one thing. Respecting the Duke, Fu Fangchang, is the pillar of the country, is it possible to be a county magistrate now?" Di Gong was speechless at his words, but he was deeply ashamed and stopped. After a while, Nai said. "Brother Zhao, you and I are doing business for the sake of business, and we don't want to talk to you. Why do you say such things? Since you know my background, you should pour out your heart, tell the truth, and close your case. Did you say such things? If you talk big, you won't be able to scare me?" He lost his wink at Ma Rong, stood up and stood behind Lu Changbo.

When Ma Rong arrived at this time, he couldn't help but not to do anything. He jumped out of the door and shouted loudly: "The dog robber, you have done a case, where do you want to escape! Today, my grandfather came to arrest you. You should be tied up and brought to the case for interrogation." Do it. We know that Gaojiawa matter, you are not allowed to escape." He put his hands down and blocked the door, waiting for him to come out to do something.Seeing that his words were wrong, Lu Changbo suddenly moved his hands, as if in a dream, he didn't know whether he had a grudge or provoked for no reason. Among them, peace is the most important thing, so why did you say such embarrassing words before the deal, do you feel sad at ordinary times?" Before he finished speaking, he saw the big man take off his short jacket, revealing his tight-fitting little jacket, with his sleeves rolled up, and stretched out. Open both hands, take a stride, leap out of the door, and curse at Ma Rong: "You don't even inquire about it, and you came to break ground on the head of Taisui. I am determined to get rid of this group of corrupt officials and monopoly profiteers. How dare you come here?" Seeking death! Don’t leave, I’ll take you to your hometown!” I saw that I raised my left hand, and with a tiger-catching sheep, I punched Ding Ma Rong in the chest.When Di Gong saw this, his face turned pale with fright, and he was afraid that Ma Rong would not fight him. He turned his body to the left and used the posture of leading a tiger down the mountain. Looking down, Zhao Wanquan really withdrew his hand and dared not go forward.It turned out that Ma Rong also knew how to use his hands, and this time he hit his blood path, so his whole shoulder was numb and he couldn't go further.Seeing that he was hit once, Ma Rong didn't make progress?Immediately turned around and punched him in the ribs.Zhao Wanquan saw that his hands and feet were flexible, so he didn't dare to underestimate him. He used one hand to protect his body, and the other hand moved forward to rub his palm.Ma Rong didn't allow him to succeed, so he changed the pattern of a bird spreading its wings, and stretched his body, about one or two feet high, raised his left foot and wanted to kick his left eye.Who knew Zhao Wanquan's plan was exactly what came, but he looked at the kick, raised his hands, and said: "Come down!" He had already wrapped Ma Rong's legs around him, but he heard a "gudong" and fell to the ground.

Di Gong was quite shocked, fearing that he would just run away.Inside, Lu Changbo also looked at each other in fright, afraid of killing someone, he rushed out and shouted: "Mr. Zhao, you are the owner and customer of my house, and you have never been reckless. Why did you start to fight today when you disagreed? It's a dangerous mistake, Xiaoxing can't bear it. If you have something to say, come in and say it." When the crowd was arguing, many people had already gathered around the neighborhood, talking nonsense and talking nonsense.

Suddenly, in the crowd, there was a tall man in his 30s and [-]s, with a thick back and a hulking back. Seeing Ma Rong falling to the ground, he hurried to separate the crowd and shouted loudly: "Mr. Zhao, don't be careless, we are all family members!" Ma Rong shouted in front of him: "Second brother Ma, when did you come here? Why are you fighting with our brothers? We haven't seen each other in the past few years, which makes our family think hard. I heard that you washed your hands and quit doing that. How did you come here? Come?" As he spoke, he was about to help Ma Rong up.Ma Rong looked at him, feeling very happy, and said: "Brother, you are here too, let's talk again here, don't let this guy go, he is a murderer."

Speaking of which, the man invited Zhao Wanquan into the industry, told the idlers to disperse, and then said to Ma Rong: "This is my friend since childhood. Although he is a businessman, he has a lot of contacts with us. Why did the second brother get along with him?" Let's fight, where will we settle down now, and let's talk about the future. Who is not, I will accompany you two."

It turned out that this person was also a friend in the green forest, taught by Ma Rong's first teacher, surnamed Jiang Mingzhong, although he was a bandit, he was also very loyal.Zhao Wanquan was originally from Yishui County, Shandong Province. Due to the death of his parents when he was young, he learned all the skills from Jiang Zhong's father, and he is excellent in all medical divination and astrology.When I arrived, I saw that I had no relatives to rely on in my hometown, and my family had died. I thought that there was an aunt in Huzhou who was very rich, so I changed the family property, made money, and went to Huzhou to visit relatives.

His aunt saw that he was so cunning, so she took him in at home, and after a few months, she recommended him to a silk shop to learn the trade.Later, when he grew up, he went home to worship his ancestors that year, and visited the two earthen villages, which were the thoroughfare between the north and the south, where they could be bought and sold. He went back to Huzhou and explained to his aunt that he collected several thousand silver coins and paid them every spring and summer. It will be sold by Huzhou silk dealers.

But when Jiang Zhong washed his hands, he was in Shangmao, Qufu County. For the sake of the dijia in this village, they got together with each other, and they felt very affectionate.Today Zhao Wanquan was playing cards at his house, when Wu Xiaoguan suddenly went to ask him to do business, but he had been away for a long time and did not come back, so Jiang Zhong came to visit him, but unexpectedly he fought against Ma Rong.At this time, Ma Rong saw him asking about the future, and quickly said: "Brother doesn't know something. Since you and I committed crimes in Wangjiazhai, Shandong, my younger brother has traveled around and suffered a lot. Later, thinking alone, life is alive. But a hundred years, in the blink of an eye, it becomes a waste. If you don't make a career in the middle age and get a good name, you will not be in vain. And this green forest thing is all unreasonable money, and you can get it today However, within a few days, he was still empty-handed, murdering people in vain, and committing endless crimes. When the time of evil is full, he will not be able to escape the pain of a knife, so he does not do it wholeheartedly. Fortunately, this year in Changping, I met this Master Di became the county magistrate, and he was as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, so he and Brother Qiao joined him as a long-term follower. Over the past few years, he has also handled many cases. The murder case is very strange, until the day before yesterday, I found a little shadow, so I came here to find it." Then he explained how the Kong Wande Inn started the case, how it was interrogated, and how the body was replaced.Then he pointed to Di Gongdao: "This is my county master, whose surname is Di and whose name is Renjie. You are also a neighboring place, and the officials of Changping County should hear you."

After Jiang Zhong heard these words, he turned his head to look at Di Gong, bowed his head, and said: "The villain is late to greet you, please forgive me." Di Gong hurriedly helped him up and said: "What happened just now, Ma Rong It has already been explained, and I hope that the strong man will hand over this criminal to the county and bring him back to the interrogation office." Before Jiang Zhong could speak, Zhao Wanquan hurriedly said: "This is a villain who was fooled by others. This case was not done by a villain. If there is something to be wronged, I will die. And wait for the villain to report, and the adults will understand. Just now, Second Brother Ma said that the murderer's surname was Shao, from Sichuan, and the villain's surname was Zhao, from the province. One thing doesn't match. But the villain knows where this person is now and what his name is. My lord will stay here for a night and go tomorrow, and he will definitely be arrested."

After hearing this, Di Gong didn't know what to do. Let's see the next chapter to break it down.
