(twenty three)
By the way, Bai Feng and the others followed the original route back to Yanzi Town, thinking that they were the same as before. In the eyes of the townspeople, they were just passers-by who came and went in a hurry. What no one expected was that on the way from entering the town to the county government office, many townspeople were unknowingly following them: businessmen abandoned their business, farmers abandoned their hoes, and tea drinkers The competition has arrived. The children were so excited...
These townspeople all held fruits, vegetables and leaves in their hands, followed the three horses, and threw them at the thieves who were dragging behind the horses. Some people even brought their families to join this lively "parade" just to see the "Three Heroes of Swallows" looking embarrassed after being beaten so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up. They also told their children that they must not gather together for personal gain in the future. Bullying the people in the countryside. If not, the consequences are just around the corner.
Zhao Xiaomei, who was leading the rope binding, deliberately asked Su Qing to hold the horse slower so that she could enjoy the delicious fruits of victory. There were people chasing after her on both sides, praising the young girl's heroic appearance, which really eliminated a big problem for Yanzi Town; someone recognized Bai Feng who identified the "Niu Son" monk in the court that day, and talked about him there. He chatted with others about his deeds with great interest, as if he knew the remarkable young man in front of him. Now, this has been added to the list: not afraid of rape and brave enough to catch bullies.
In this way, Bai Feng and his group, almost surrounded by the townspeople, once again walked to the Yanzi Town County Office to cry out their grievances. The entire Yamen was packed with people, and the gate was packed with people. In order to see clearly, the children used other people's shoulders as high stools. The strong ones could squeeze to the front, while the thin and petite ones could only listen to others' gossip in the back.
There was only a sudden sound, and it was time for the trial to begin. It is futile to discuss whether there is guilt or not. What people want to know more is how these strangers caught those criminals. After all, this is someone that even the county magistrate will not easily offend. Usually, he will be punished for minor crimes and minor mistakes. If it involves murder and looting, he will usually leave it alone. Because there were so many robbers, no one was sure it was really the "Three Swallow Heroes".
Now that the evidence is conclusive and both the person and the material evidence are present, the thieves can no longer defend themselves and they all confess. When Bai Feng confessed his testimony, the process of capturing the "Three Swallow Heroes" was even more amazing to the townspeople watching.
"I heard that the young knight defeated the bandits one against ten and killed the bandits with his superb swordsmanship, and then captured those three people alive!"
"Are you kidding me? How come you are so capable? Why are you still unknown and living in the world?"
"Hey! Look at that sword. Could it be a sword owned by ordinary people?"
The judge in the case, Yang Ji, was impatient and slapped the gavel again and shouted: "Quiet! Quiet! Everyone, please be patient and let this young man Bai continue to speak."
Bai Feng cupped his hands and thanked them, then continued: "I faced off with that group of thieves for a long time and killed several of them. Later, thanks to Mr. Su's timely arrival, I was able to capture these three people alive so easily."
"Oh! Mr. Bai is so humble!" Su Qing suddenly stepped forward to bow and replied: "I'm just trying to make a move. If Mr. Bai hadn't been so righteous and willing to take risks alone and fight against the crowd with one person, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous..."
Yang Ji scratched his chin, stared at Su Qing, and asked, "Is this Mr. Su not the famous 'Rogue' Su Qing in the world?"
"'Rogue'? Just him?" Zhao Xiaomei suddenly sneered. Her brother Zhao Kuo, not wanting his younger sister to anger the talented person he thought about day and night, interrupted and explained: "Master Su, don't..."
"Mr. Zhao, if this was a girl from another family, I would definitely blame her for being arrogant. Oh, but who made her your sister?" Su Qing twirled her beard, looked at Zhao Xiaomei and said, "I am born to like to steal. The money of the rich is then distributed to the poor. Therefore, he has become a "big thief" among the rich and a "robber" among the poor. However, I prefer to be called a "big thief". After all, stealing is stealing. Well! How can you be called a hero? If you ask me, only someone like Mr. Bai can be called a 'hero'."
Bai Feng hurriedly bowed in return of the other party's respect, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the young sister's longing eyes, and felt vaguely that there was something in Su Qing's words...
"You still have some self-awareness." Zhao Xiaomei deliberately looked to the other side and replied to Su Qing from the side.
"Okay, okay! Let's stop arguing." Yang Ji raised his wide sleeves, straightened his hat, and said, "Yang has a question, why did Mr. Su suddenly appear there?"
Su Qing put her hand on her forehead and recalled: "One night, I happened to see some gangsters tampering with the carriage of Mr. Zhao and his party. But today I found that the carriage was missing! With my experience in the world, I judged that Mr. Zhao must be in trouble. So I asked the waiter at the inn where Mr. Zhao and his party were going, bought a horse, and caught up with them."
"Oh, okay! Now that the ins and outs of the case are clear, I will impose a sentence according to the law. This attempt to block the road failed, so as a rule, I should be sentenced to 'exile'." Yang Ji squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and then He said: "I have pronounced a verdict: Each prisoner shall be whipped one hundred times, and then Kun will be sent to prison. After the fall, the border people will be exiled and sent to the army. Are the people in the hall dissatisfied?"
No one dissatisfied with the "Three Heroes of Swallows" and one of their servants. Yang Ji then slapped the wall again and shouted: "Quit!"
The people in the hall had just dispersed.
Bai Feng and Murong Yan followed Yang Ji to the back hall. They wanted to explain some things, so they temporarily separated from their friends. This makes Zhao Xiaomei, who has lost the protection of Bai Feng, extremely uneasy, because now Su Qing has enough legitimate reasons to be by her side - now, Su Qing is already the little sister's savior. The younger sister didn't even dare to think about what would have happened to her if Su Qing hadn't arrived in time.
It's just that he is such an annoying "disciple", and my little sister can't convince herself to like him no matter what. Especially when she was looking for someone to order a carriage with her brother and Ajuan, all kinds of people chatted with Su Qing along the way. Some of them were the daughters of high-ranking officials who came to hear the news about Su Qing's appearance in Yanzi Town. It can be seen that Su Qing is indeed merciful and has no morals at all. What's more, after hearing Mr. Shu's story about Su Qing, he fell in love with him and tracked him down to this place.
"Why would such a person fall in love with me?" The younger sister stood next to her brother and looked at Su Qing outside the carpenter's shop talking to various female lovers. Some of them are flirtatious, some are gentle and lovely, some are about the same age as me, and some look much plumper than me. Anyway, he doesn't look much worse than himself.
Zhao Kuo sighed and lamented the impermanence of the world. After negotiating the cost of the customized carriage, Zhao Kuo was about to call his little sister to leave and said, "Little sister, what are you looking at?"
"Brother, look at that man, there are so many women around him! You actually want me to marry him?" The younger sister pointed at Su Qing outside with a slight grievance and complained.
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "Sister, I've told you this several times. How can I bear to let you marry that kind of person?"
"Then drive him away quickly!"
"This..." Zhao Kuo was suddenly speechless.
"I knew you didn't know how to do it. You say one thing and think another in your heart, hum..." After that, the little girl turned around and left.
Ajuan also said that there was nothing he could do. After all, one side was the person he liked and the other side was his little sister. However, now she can enjoy being alone with "Mr. Zhao".
