Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 3
It's ridiculous to say that Zhang Fei has been in this world for more than three months, but everything in this world is still very strange to him.

Because it was only half a day since he came here, he was caught by the Yamen, and then he has been living in the prison without seeing the light of day.

Having just been released from prison, he didn't have any leisure time to appreciate the local customs and customs here, but the prosperity of the business here surprised him a bit. There were wine shops and teahouses everywhere, and there were dazzling arrays of goods on both sides of the street.

Most of these feudal dynasties adopted the market system, and it was not allowed to do business casually on the street, but the Song Dynasty was a bit special, business was done casually, and there was no curfew.

This brought great convenience to Zhang Fei. He first found a relatively clean hotel nearby to settle down.

He took a shower and changed into the old clothes that Xu Zun gave him, but since his hair was neither long nor short, he didn't know how to take care of it, so he spent money to find a handy maid from the shopkeeper to help him deal with.

"Tsk, it seems that the old man's eyesight is all used in judging the case. As for the tailoring of clothes, it's really not flattering!"

Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Zhang Fei pulled the front of his clothes vigorously, but it still looked a little short. He shook his head in dissatisfaction, and touched his cheek. It became blurred, and the self in the mirror was very thin, with bluish cheeks and sunken eyes, as if he was seriously ill.

For a while, I just felt extremely sad.

Suddenly, Zhang Fei saw in the mirror that the maidservant behind him was secretly looking at him shyly, couldn't help smiling, turned around, took out ten Wen coins, handed it to the maidservant, and said, "Your reward."

The maidservant immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhang Fei in disbelief.

Xu Zungong lent him two pieces of money to save a little money. After a month, it would not be a problem. After all, the consumption in Dengzhou is not the same as that in Bianjing, but the way he spends, I'm afraid it won't last too long.

Seeing the maidservant stunned, Zhang Fei couldn't help asking: "Do you think it's too little?"

The maid shook her head.

Zhang Fei said: "Then take it."

The maidservant then took the copper coin from Zhang Fei, bowed and nodded again: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Zhang Fei laughed hoarsely: "I want to thank you, you helped me regain a little confidence, which is very important to me now."

While speaking, he touched the turban on his head, nodded with satisfaction, and then went out, leaving behind the maid with a cute face.

In the lobby of the hotel, Zhang Fei directly ordered four plates of meat dishes and four big steamed buns, and then swept the entire table like a storm, which made the bartender on the side dumbfounded.

They didn't expect that this young and handsome man was even more capable of cooking than those big men doing coolies.

It's really a person who can't be judged by his appearance, and his stomach can't be measured!

"Well?"

After a cup of tea was poured down, Zhang Fei almost vomited it out. He quickly covered his mouth with one hand and swallowed it forcefully, only to feel that there was food below the tonsils.

There was no way, he ate some clear soup with little water, leftovers and sour vegetables all day long in prison, and his stomach was empty. This was definitely the most delicious meal he had ever eaten in his life.

After a while, he swayed over.

It happened that a bartender came over to clean up the dishes at this time, and he asked, "Bartender, do you know how to get to Weijia Village?"

"I know!" The bartender nodded, and said again: "Go to the west gate and leave the city, and after about thirty li, you will arrive at Weijia Village."

"Thirty miles?"

Zhang Fei looked outside the door and thought, it's getting late now, let's go tomorrow!
After he was full, he went back to his room, lay on the bed for a while, and then fell asleep.

This sleep was really dark.

Everything from the past and today flashed back and forth in the dream, but he was awakened by the nightmare, but it was as if he was in a dream.

I don't know what to do, I don't know if I am awake or asleep, and I don't know if I am in the Song Dynasty or in the later generations.

After waking up the next day, it was already afternoon, and I couldn't go to Weijia Village. I could only go back to rest after dinner.

On the third day, he got up early, but he had just walked to the west gate, and before he left the city, he was out of breath, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. Now there are no taxis, and there are only a pair of legs everywhere. In desperation, he just Can go back to the hotel.

It was not until the seventh day that Zhang Fei felt that his body had recovered a lot, and he felt that the case could not be dragged on any longer.

In the early morning of this day, after tidying up, he left the hotel. He sold a few big buns on the street, poured a pot of tea, and went to Weijia Village.

After walking for half a day, Zhang Fei finally came to a hillside, and saw him sitting cross-legged on the hillside, sweating profusely, panting heavily, thinking, it seems that I overestimated my body, so How can the body win this lawsuit.

After resting for a while, Zhang Fei, who gradually recovered, looked at the small village with more than [-] households down the slope, and said, "This should be Weijia Village."

Going down the slope, when you came to the village, you happened to meet a man carrying his head towards the edge of the field. He thought to himself, what time is this before you go out to plow the land.However, this thought was fleeting, he hurried forward and asked with a smile on his face, "Brother, may I ask you!"

Before he finished speaking, the man glared at him viciously, and then walked straight past him.

Zhang Fei scratched his forehead in embarrassment, thinking, are all villages in the Song Dynasty so xenophobic?
This unfavorable start made him feel a little scared, he couldn't help wondering if he would get beaten if he went in hastily, he hesitated for a moment in front of the door, but he still mustered up the courage to go inside.

Nowadays, most people are busy in the fields, and the village only hears the sound of dogs barking and chickens crowing, and there are few voices.

"oops!"

Zhang Fei suddenly slapped his forehead, I am really confused, everyone is farming now, what am I looking for here.

He just turned around and was about to go to the farmland to have a look, when he heard a burst of crying.

And it was the cry of a man.

Zhang Fei frowned slightly, looking around, suddenly, his eyes locked on a small farmyard, he carefully looked around and walked over, went to the outside of the yard and looked inside for a while, but he couldn't see the situation inside the house.

He looked left and right again, and saw no one around, so he quietly pushed open the wooden gate, went outside the door, looked inside, and saw a big man lying on the bed crying.

It has to be said that this man looks really ugly.

It has a wide nose and a wide mouth, like a face on the surface of the moon. It is full of potholes, and it is estimated that it can store water in rainy days. Not to mention the Mediterranean hairstyle, there is also a big purple tumor on the forehead, like a human unicorn.

This person is really... um, so what.Zhang Fei suddenly looked at the man's right hand and saw that his little finger was wrapped in a white cloth, and his expression was happy, but at this moment, he heard a shout from outside the courtyard, "You thief is so bold, you dare to steal in broad daylight." .”

Zhang Fei turned his head and saw that the man who came was the man he had just met outside the village. When he spoke, the man had already rushed into the courtyard.

At this time, the ugly man in the house also woke up, got out of bed immediately, picked up the hoe and rushed out of the house, with bulging eyes, staring at Zhang Fei, as if he saw the murder of his father and enemy, coupled with his face, Really scary.

"You two big brothers, don't get me wrong, I'm here to help you."

Zhang Fei waved his hands in a panic while retreating to the corner.

The ugly man seemed to be deaf, he kept staring at Zhang Fei with bulging eyes, the other man stopped and subconsciously asked: "Help us?"

"Yes Yes!"

Zhang Fei nodded straightly and said: "My name is Zhang San, and I was entrusted by Ayun to come to help you."

"Ayun?"

Hearing this name, the ugly man's ferocious face became distorted, full of pain and fear.

The man beside him was furious and said: "That vicious woman almost killed my eldest brother, how could she be so kind?"

That ugly man is none other than Wei Ada, the protagonist of Ayun's case, and the other guy is his younger brother Wei Aer.

Zhang Fei immediately said: "It is precisely because of this that she knows that she has committed a serious crime, so she asked me to come and make up for you."

"How to make it up? Can you take back my elder brother's severed finger?" As he said that, the man's eyes were filled with tears.

Zhang Fei shook his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I can't do this."

After speaking, he immediately said: "But it's better than nothing! In the whole case, only your elder brother is the real victim. Ayun deserves what she deserves, but even if she dies, it will be difficult for her to make up for what he did. The injury caused by your elder brother makes it difficult for your elder brother to go to work in the fields, so what should we do in the future?"

When Wei Ada heard the words, he thought that his future was dark, and felt sad for a moment, threw away the hoe, knelt down, hugged his head and wailed loudly.

Seeing his eldest brother in such pain, Wei Aer couldn't help himself. He wiped away the tears that were about to flow, and asked Zhang Fei, "Who are you? Why do you want to help her?"

Zhang Fei hesitated, and said, "She is my savior."

Wei Aer snorted, "Then that wicked woman can save people?" He glanced at Zhang Fei's face, and said sarcastically, "She must have saved you because she saw that you were handsome."

"Thank you!" Zhang Fei smiled slightly, and said again: "But I'm here to help you, not to discuss my personal affairs with you. If you don't want to, I won't force it."

Wei Aer looked at Zhang Fei and asked, "How do you plan to help us?"

Zhang Fei said: "I will try my best to make your eldest brother have no worries for the rest of his life." Having said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "It is best to marry a wife."

The crying subsided a little, but Weada still didn't raise his head.

Wei Aer glanced at his eldest brother, then asked Zhang Fei: "Really?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "But first, you have to tell me the whole story."

Wei Aer questioned: "Didn't that wicked woman tell you?"

Zhang Fei said: "She doesn't know some things, for example, how you negotiated this marriage with their family."
