Zhang Ren quickly spat at Ji Gang: "Bah, you really can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Do you think I'm a prisoner?"
Wu Peng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, finally opened his eyes. He looked up and down, and said in unison with Ji Gang: "Like!"
Zhang Ren patted his forehead. He was really not a good friend. However, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he said seriously as he walked out: "I came here in vain. It seems that you really don't want to go out."
Hearing this, Ji Gang immediately stood on top of the iron cage and said eagerly: "Sir, please don't leave. It's all the fault of the humble officer. The humble officer shouldn't make fun of you."
Although Wu Peng was more stable than Ji Gang, he still stood up. He asked with some uncertainty: "Can we go out?"
Zhang Ren stopped and returned to the cell. He smiled and said, "Of course, you can go out. The Marquis of Pingliang is the guilty one."
Wu Peng seemed to be in disbelief. He trembled and asked Zhang Ren, "Is the Marquis of Pingliang the guilty one?"
Zhang Ren did not reply, but nodded firmly.
Wu Peng has been looking forward to this sentence for many years, but today, he is much calmer than expected.
"What about the poor monk's father?" Wu Peng asked again.
"Your father is not guilty. Your Majesty has defended your father." Zhang Ren said firmly.
Wu Peng just looked at Zhang Ren and felt something slipping from his cheek. He looked dull. The prefect wiped his face. His face seemed to be wet. He raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Ren and couldn't help but ask. : "Is this poor monk crying?"
Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "No, you are just too happy."
How could Wu Peng not tell that Zhang Ren was lying to him? How many years? Ever since his whole family was killed, no matter how frightened or frightened he was, he had never cried. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare.
Wu Peng once thought that he would never cry again in his life, and he even gradually forgot what it felt like to cry.
But today, he actually cried, and as the tears fell, he felt relieved inside.
At this moment, Wu Peng's tears were like bursting from a dam. No matter how he wiped them away, he could not stop the rushing tears, but there was no joy or sorrow on his face, and he still looked dull.
Wu Peng knelt down on the ground, which was regarded as a big gift to Zhang Ren. He did not use gorgeous words to express his gratitude, but a simple thank you was enough to express his heart.
Zhang Ren smiled at Wu Peng, then raised his hand to wave to the jailer on the side, and said, "Come on, let my two friends go."
"Come on, we've already had orders from above. General Zhang Qi can take you two away at any time." The jailer said as he opened the door of the cell with the key.
Ji Gang looked at Zhang Ren and immediately said, "It's really gratifying that your Excellency has been promoted to the position of General Flag."
Zhang Ren waved his hand and said, "These are all small things. I think your clothes are quite clean. You two, please come with me."
Ji Gang asked, "Where do you plan to take us, sir?"
The playfulness on Zhang Ren's face disappeared instantly, and he said extremely seriously: "Go to Pingliang Marquis Mansion! Go and ransack the house!"
…
Zhang Ren originally thought that searching the house would be an easy and relaxing job, but when he arrived at the Pingliang Marquis Mansion, he discovered that it was not the case at all.
In this era, whether they are maids or servants, all can be counted as the property of the master's family. When the house is ransacked, the fate of these people is also extremely miserable. It ranges from selling the Jiaofangsi or being exiled, to being directly killed with a knife in the worst case. .
At this moment, the wailing, cursing, and begging for mercy in the Pingliang Marquis Mansion were intertwined. The Jin Yiwei, the Criminal Department, and the Inspectorate, who were supposed to represent the righteous side, looked like a group of passing demons.
Many officials whipped the servants of Pingliang Hou Mansion wantonly. Some even searched the house but put valuables in their pockets. Some even saw the beautiful maid and went directly to touch two handfuls of them and played with them wantonly.
The faces of the government officials showed excitement and shamelessness, while the servants in the Pingliang Hou Mansion were full of fear, but they could only humblely beg for mercy.
Zhang Ren looked flat
The scene in Lianghou's mansion seems a little at a loss. Obviously, he is the righteous party? But why would a just person do something worse than a pig or a dog?
Zhang Ren couldn't understand. He looked around and saw the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion who was covered in blood and was only breathing. He also saw the concubine of Pingliang Hou holding her child tightly.
Zhang Ren stepped forward and pushed away a few servants who were still humiliating the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion.
There was a hint of gratitude in the old housekeeper's muddy eyes. Now he could not move and could only beg Zhang Ren: "I have done many evil things in my life, and this day is my retribution. Zhang Ren, I have never asked for anything in my life." Who am I? I want to beg you once today, please kill me."
There was a slight hesitation in Zhang Ren's eyes, but he regained his luster after a moment. He squatted next to the old butler and pointed at the old butler's heart. His strong inner energy came out, but it was shattered in an instant. Got the old housekeeper's heart.
The old housekeeper died like this. No matter how many bad things he did to help Pingliang Marquis during his lifetime, when a person dies, his ashes will return to his ashes.
Seeing this situation, several government officials who had just been pushed aside by Zhang Ren stopped working. Seeing that Zhang Ren was not wearing official uniforms, they directly cursed: "Where did you come from? You guys are happy, you." Why do you want to join forces? Do you know that this person is the housekeeper of the Pingliang Marquis Mansion? This person is a repeat offender, and you killed him directly. Do you know what responsibility you have to bear? "
Zhang Ren ignored these officials and walked slowly to the concubine of Pingliang Hou.
Zhang Ren originally thought that the concubine would have hatred, but Zhang Ren only saw fear in the concubine's eyes.
It's no wonder that many government officials just saw her good looks and took advantage of her. If they didn't know that she was the concubine of Pingliang Marquis and couldn't move lightly at this moment, they would have done something beastly to her. thing.
At the same time, Zhang Ren also looked at the child in his concubine's arms. The child was only thirty years old and should be growing up happily and carefree.
But at this moment, the young child's eyes were filled with hatred.
Seeing Zhang Ren getting closer and closer, he yelled directly at Zhang Ren: "Bad guy! You are all bad guys! Go away! Don't bully my mother!"
Naturally, Zhang Ren would not behave like a child. Instead, he asked Pingliang Hou's concubine, "Is this your child? What's his name?"
The concubine was afraid that Zhang Ren would be harmful to the child, so she did not answer. Instead, she curled up, shook her head, and held the child in her arms a little tighter.
