Chapter 78 Tang Dalong Pleads For Mercy
Qingfeng Village Meeting Hall.
As the saying goes, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself.
There is no such thing as an airtight wall.
"It's really unreasonable! Ren Zhanbiao killed innocent people indiscriminately, acted recklessly, was daring and lawless, and broke the rules of our village. If I didn't kill this person, and everyone in the village would be like him, then it would be okay!
"On this day, someone reported to Daheng Feng Delin about Ren Zhanbiao's blood-laundering of the Japanese manor and his affair with the woodcutter girl at the foot of the mountain. He was furious and furious.
"Come here!" Feng Delin shouted.
"Master of the village, what are your orders?" At this moment, two sturdy men walked in from outside the door.
"Go! Catch that ignorant Ren Zhanbiao. I want to question him face to face." Feng Delin was still angry.
"Yes!" The two big men agreed, turned and left.
Half an hour later, the two men came back with their noses bruised and their faces swollen.
"What's going on with you? Why are you injured?" Feng Delin was shocked when he saw it.
"Reporting to the leader of Dazhai, the two of us went to arrest Ren Zhanbiao under your order. Unexpectedly, Ren Zhanbiao said that he was not guilty, asked why we should take him, and started fighting with me. Unfortunately, we were not him.
My opponent was beaten back." One of the big men said.
"What? Rebellious, really rebelled! This Ren Zhanbiao dares to resist my orders, and even dares to fight the people I send. He is really lawless. Does he still have eyes for me, the leader of the stronghold?" Feng Delin heard this.
, even more so that he was shaking with anger, "You two are not guilty, please go down and rest, Zhao Wenyuan!"
"Here, please give me the instructions from the leader of the village." Zhao Wenyuan, the captain of the guard, came over.
"Take my Qingfeng Order, mobilize two hundred spearmen, and go immediately to capture Ren Zhanbiao. If he dares to resist again, he will be executed on the spot." Feng Delin said, taking out the Qingfeng Order and handing it to Zhao Wenyuan.
"Yes." Zhao Wenyuan agreed, took the Qingfeng Order, turned around and went out.
About half an hour later, Ren Zhanbiao was kidnapped by Wuhuada.
Feng Delin looked him up and down, and then said: "Ren Zhanbiao, recently, I heard that you have outstanding martial arts skills and first-class marksmanship. Every time you perform a mission, you charge into battle and make great contributions to the development and growth of our village."
"It is the duty of all subordinates to report back to the leader of the village." Ren Zhanbiao said.
"Well, but credit must go to credit and fault to blame, let me ask you, did you hit the two guards I sent to fetch you just now?" Feng Delin looked at him and asked.
"Yes."
"Do you know they were sent by me?"
"I know." Ren Zhanbiao said.
"Knowing that you still dared to resist arrest, why did you beat them up?"
"Because they were too rude and impolite, I taught them a lesson," Ren Zhanbiao said.
"Ren Zhanbiao, let me ask you, did you burn down the Qianjiazi Manor in Gaoling Town?"
"yes."
"That Qian Jap is a well-known wealthy landlord, rich and fat. Since you burned his manor, what about their family's money?" Feng Delin asked.
"I don't know about this, and I didn't take it. Since the manor has been burned, it should be burned together." Ren Zhanbiao felt nervous when the leader of the village asked him this.
"You didn't take it? I think you put all the money into your own pocket and kept it for yourself?" Feng Delin asked, staring into his eyes. His eyes were very stern and intimidating.
"That's absolutely not the case." Ren Zhanbiao said firmly, knowing that if there was even the slightest hesitation at this time, he would die without a burial place.
"Okay, let me investigate this matter later," Feng Delin asked again, "Did you cause the twelve lives of the Qian Guizhi family?"
"Yes, they all deserve to die, I killed them all," Ren Zhanbiao said.
"Presumptuous! Bold!" Feng Delin slammed the table, pointed at him and said, "I really didn't expect that you could be so vicious at such a young age. Even if the money man beat you, you would not be guilty of death. Not only did you kill
You killed him and also killed his whole family. Let me ask you, what crime did those women and children have, and why did they kill them? Besides, I heard that Butler Zhu was once kind to you. Why did you also kill your own benefactor?
Thieves also have their ways, do you understand? Even if we are bandits, Beard, we can't kill everyone. It's better for you. No matter who they are, whether they are guilty or not, whether they are merciful or not, you just kill them all. You just don't have anything.
Human nature, do you know? There has never been a murderous demon like you in our village. What you are doing now, every word and deed, not only represents yourself, but also represents our Qingfeng Village.
If you kill innocent people indiscriminately, what will the people think of us?"
Ren Zhanbiao listened without saying a word.
"Let me ask you again, did you have an affair with the woodcutter girl from Zhaojiatun at the foot of the mountain and raped her in her home?"
"Me," Ren Zhanbiao felt a little embarrassed when the leader of the village asked him this in front of everyone.
"I'm asking you, right?" Feng Delin asked.
"Yes, but we are in love with each other, not adultery." Ren Zhanbiao replied.
"Are you in love? You put it nicely!" Feng Delin said, "You have been in the village for so many years. You are not allowed to kill indiscriminately or engage in sexual misconduct. Don't you even understand this rule?"
"I understand, but I heard that in addition to the official wife of Dazhai Master, there is also a woman outside, named Xiaojiao. I don't know if it is true or not. I don't know if Dazhai Master is considered obscene?" Ren Zhanbiao asked in reply.
.
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Wenyuan and others were shocked when they heard it, thinking that this kid dared to throw out any words.
"You!" When Feng Delin heard this, he was so angry that he pointed at Ren Zhanbiao and was speechless.
"Master of the Dazhai, you already have a family, and you have another woman outside. This is not prostitution, it is legal, right? And I am in love with the girl who chops firewood. You are in love with me, but I don't.
Understand, what's our mistake?" Ren Zhanbiao sneered, "Don't you only allow the state officials to set fires, but not the people to light lamps?"
"You! Ren Zhanbiao, good, good! Well done to you! You are young and your mouth is very expressive. Are you trying to teach me a lesson? After all, you actually said it on my head," Feng Delin was so angry.
I don't know what to say, "You said something rude and I'm going to offend you. Is this how your master Tang Dalong taught you how to behave?"
"I'm just telling the truth. If I want to incriminate myself, why bother? Since you caught me, I'm just dead today." Ren Zhanbiao said.
"Ren Zhanbiao, your master asked you to face the wall for half a year and reflect on your mistakes. I see that you have no regrets now. Keeping you will be a big disaster in the future. Do you want to die? Okay, I will make it happen today.
"You," Feng Delin said angrily, "come on, put him on death row, read out the charges in public three days later, and shoot him according to the rules of the village."
"Yes." Zhao Wenyuan agreed and held Ren Zhanbiao down.
Someone had already informed Tang Dalong of this matter, and he quickly came over to meet Feng Delin.
When Feng Delin saw it was him, he became angry.
"You came just in time. Look at the good apprentice you taught. He killed people, set fires, and fornicated women. He was so bold that he even dared to beat up the guards I sent. He also accused me in public of the following crimes. You said, a person like this,
Can I keep him?" Feng Delin said.
"Master of the village, what you are reprimanding is that it is indeed my lax discipline and failure to educate him well. I have just heard about the incident between him and the woodcutter girl at the foot of the mountain. He does not abide by the rules of the village and should be severely punished.
"He," Tang Dalong said, paused for a moment, then added, "However, since he is still a child, it is inevitable that he will do some outrageous things. He also begged the leader of the village to be merciful and spare his life so that he could change his ways.
, take the blame and make meritorious deeds.”
"Ren Zhanbiao is eighteen years old and is an adult. He is no longer a child. What doesn't he understand?" Feng Delin said with a long sigh, "You may think it is not easy to train him with all your hard work, but
, I tell you, all your hard work is in vain. He is not a human being, he is a wolf cub. Think about it, since he can kill Butler Zhu who was kind to him, then there is no guarantee of his future.
I will also deal a cruel blow to your master."
"No, it's not like that. He was just confused for a moment. Besides, I've punished him to face the wall and think about it for half a year. He has already realized his mistake." Tang Dalong said.
"He is just putting on a show for you. He does one thing on the surface but another behind the scenes. Let me tell you an allusion, and you will understand." Feng Delin said, "Back then, there was a Zhao Gao in the Qin Dynasty who referred to deer as horses.
You have heard about that man, he once committed a serious crime, and Meng Yi sentenced him to death according to the laws at that time. However, when the results of the trial were reported to Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng cherished him because he was a talented person and a diligent person.
He was also proficient in the law and couldn't bear to kill him, so he released him extrajudicially and later reinstated him. What was the result?"
Tang Dalong listened quietly.
Feng Delin took a sip of water and continued: "Qin Shi Huang died of illness in the sand dunes during his last tour, but he conspired with Li Si to launch the Sand Dune Coup, forged edicts, granted death to Fu Su, and made Qin Shi Huang's youngest son Hu Hai the emperor.
In this world, this Hu Hai was ignorant, how could he know anything about national affairs? Zhao Gao monopolized power, formed a party for personal gain, imposed excessive taxes and corvee, and became even more onerous. The people were overwhelmed and revolted one after another. He killed Li Si first and then Hu Hai, which led to the Qin Dynasty.
The second generation died. History is like a mirror, haven't you learned a lesson from it? In my opinion, Ren Zhanbiao, not to mention ungrateful, is even more sinister and vicious than Zhao Gao.
Therefore, in order to avoid future troubles, you don’t need to say anything anymore, and I will be shot in three days. This matter has been decided."
"Master of Dazhai, having said that, Zhao Gao is a eunuch, not a normal person. He has a twisted and perverted heart. He wants to take revenge on Da Qin. Therefore, he behaves recklessly and harms the country and the people. Ren Zhanbiao is just a poor child. His parents and sister are all
After he died, he was left alone. He had suffered a lot since he was a child. He is fundamentally different from the Zhao Gao in history." When Tang Dalong said this, he was moved, lifted his clothes and knelt down to Feng Delin, "I beg you.
The master of Dazhai has a subordinate, so let's spare his life and give him a chance to change his ways."
"Tang Tou Ling, what can I say about you? You are stubborn and stubborn," Feng Delin said. "To look at a person is not to look at what he said, but to look at what he did. You see
Look at him killing people and setting fires, taking human lives, embezzling money, fornicating women, and beating guards. Which thing is serious? Which thing is not worthy of beheading? Is there anything else in the world that he dare not do? If he is not punished severely today,
