Chapter 445 The Way of the Hero
(3)

"Quick, come here!" Fu Wentao put one arm against the crowd, and made way for a path in the middle, covering Ayu and Yu Ke as they walked forward.

The news from Li's house quickly spread throughout Cangzhou—the swordsman Baifeng, a character who used to exist only in stories, is now passing by alive, what an incredible reality!For this reason, countless people did not hesitate to leave their jobs and rushed here just to see the legend.Even though the young swordsman is now being closely guarded by the yamen servants, he is about to be escorted to the government for trial.

"What exactly does Young Master Bai want to do?" Ayu almost forgot to think while jostling with others, and asked loudly, "We can't even get out of Cangzhou, right?"

Yu Ke hugged the sister next to her tightly, and muttered: "There are so many people, I'm so scared..."

"Hide beside me!" Fu Wentao kept waving his strong arms to block all possible threats.

They were just like the adults protecting the villains, and the villains protecting the younger ones, making it hard to get to the public trial.

It is said that people from all walks of life stood in the open space outside the yamen. At that time, they all put their feet together and curled up their arms, and there was still a little space to breathe.Fortunately, Fu Wentao and the others took the lead to occupy the front position, so they would not be so embarrassed.

"Who is in the hall, report your name!" Only the judge asked sharply.

"Bai Feng."

After the young swordsman finished speaking, a yamen servant presented his sword and explained: "My lord, this is a murder weapon."

"This...isn't it the Longming sword?" The Cangzhou prefect stood up, held the sword, walked up to Baifeng, and asked, "Who is your name, and what school did you learn from?"

"Under Baifeng, he has no family or faction. He is just a stray dog ​​living in the rivers and lakes. Please take care of me, sir."

The prefect said: "Okay, I hope I'm being sentimental." He returned to the table and asked again: "Baifeng, do you know that you have committed the crime of beheading? If you commit murder in public and get the stolen goods, you What else is there to argue about?"

"Hmph, I have nothing to say, I did kill someone." Bai Feng smiled confidently: "However, I didn't violate any laws."

"What did you say?" The prefect stood up and said, "Come here, this man dares to despise the court, drag him out, and give him ten strokes of the stick!"

Bai Feng immediately shouted: "Life and death!"

"Without your approval from the prefect, I'm afraid it would be impossible to call so many people to this competition, right?" The young swordsman struggled to shake off the entanglement of the left and right servants, and took a small half step in the direction of the prefect. Stopped: "All of us participating in the competition have signed a life-and-death certificate-fight until one of them surrenders or dies."

The eunuch Fuxu laughed and said: "Hahaha, Baifeng, Baifeng, I'm afraid you don't know the local law, private fighting is strictly prohibited! Martial arts competition is a fair competition, if someone dies, can it still be called a martial arts competition?"

"Okay! I'm here today to seek 'justice'!" Bai Feng looked at the other party's eyes angrily, and continued: "When I was using a sword to take someone's life, Mr. Li didn't look like he was going to give up his weapon and admit defeat. He looks very proud! If you don’t believe me, the prefect can call all the people who were present at that time to come and ask them one by one. In the end, he didn’t drop the sword and shield in his hand, and he was still clamoring that Bai Feng is a villain, They will only use indiscriminate tricks."

The prefect waved his sleeves, and the left and right servants brought up the people who were present at that time for questioning. As Bai Feng expected, they did not see any sign of Mr. Li giving up. As for Bai Feng's words How much is true and how much is false, no one knows.

But after a while, the yamen servant brought Mr. Li to the court to testify.

"My lord, you must uphold justice for the dog!" Mr. Li cried: "I have lived with this person all my life, and I don't know when I will have a grudge against him, and even kill him. The dog will die with regret, it's sad and lamentable!"

Bai Feng looked at him coldly, with a stunned expression on his face: "I said, Mr. Li, what are you talking about? Could it be that those who died under the sword of your son can rest in peace?"

"Baifeng, according to your statement, did Mr. Li also kill someone?" the prefect asked.

"Return to your lord, the eldest son not only killed someone, but the other party was unarmed, and was about to kneel down and beg for mercy." After Bai Feng finished speaking, he immediately turned to face the people, old and young, and continued: "If I don't kill the eldest son, what should he do? How to rest in peace?"

As soon as these words were said, the crowd immediately became excited.

"What's going on?"

"He is really Baifeng!"

"It seems that there must be grievances in this..."

Mr. Li trembled and slowly approached Baifeng. Suddenly, he became like a wild beast and pounced on Baifeng's clothes. You are his old friend, how can you insult the innocence of my Li family like this out of thin air!"

"Whether what I said is true, the prefect might as well ask them." Bai Feng pushed the other party away calmly, and replied: "Don't use the dead elders as an excuse, you are not worthy."

The eunuch sighed and shook his head, "Bring him up and question him carefully."

When it was too short, only Mr. Li's personal entourage remained in the courtroom, and everyone testified before that Bai Feng's words were not bad.

"Just tell the truth, tell the prefect that the eldest son must not mean to hurt others, he is a child who can't even kill a chicken!" Mr. Li ordered a few words from the side, and the boy listened respectfully Go to the prefect and repeat it.

"Master Taishou, the Eldest Young Master really did not intend to do this."

At this moment, Bai Feng pretended to be surprised and said: "Could it be that the eldest son really killed an unarmed man?"

"I... I don't remember!"

Bai Feng continued: "Whether the eldest son did it on purpose or not, there is no proof now. Everyone just wants to know if he killed an unarmed man who was begging for mercy!"

"I... I really don't remember!"

Seeing this, the prefect hurriedly stepped forward to appease him, saying: "Enough is enough, you go down first!" Mr. Li's personal entourage was summoned away in this way.

"Mr. Li, why don't we just let this matter go?" The prefect moved closer to the other party and whispered, "If this continues, it will be even more detrimental to the Li family..."

How could Baifeng bear them to protect each other?Immediately shouted: "How can we give up! Young Master Li killed someone and violated the law, so he should obey the law! It's just that I accidentally killed him in the martial arts field and let him escape. But it's a blessing in disguise, if If it wasn't for his death, Mister Li wouldn't have brought trouble in court, so the man who died under the sword of Mr. Li would have his injustice done."

"Okay, Baifeng, I have seen the world today!" The prefect comprehensively synthesized the witnesses and material evidence of all parties, and finally ruled that Baifeng was not guilty and released on the spot as usual, and ordered the Li family to take care of the family members of the deceased for life without neglect.
