Chapter 68 The second chapter is courteous and ruthless

Let's take a look at how society realizes its justice through illegal means in the flickering light of a small knife. Wu Song took three or two soldiers and left the county government office, taking paper, inkstone, pen and ink, and the knife with a long pointed handle, short back, thick blade and thin blade.Ask two soldiers to buy some chicken, duck, fish, fruit and so on, and come to the house. What are you doing with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone? Wu Song said to Pan Jinlian: "Tomorrow is the death of the dead brother. I came here today to drink a glass of wine and thank all the neighbors for my sister-in-law." Call the soldiers to go to the coffin, light candles and incense, list the paper money, and put The sacrifices were placed in front of the spirit, the plates were full of feasts, wine, food and fruits were spread out, and one soldier was asked to warm the wine behind, two soldiers arranged tables and stools in front of the door, and two front and rear gates.

Why do you still have to lock the door? After the arrangements were made, Wu Song called: "Sister-in-law, come to entertain the guests. I'll invite them." Wu Song invited four neighbors and the queen's wife. When inviting these neighbors, Wu Song was very courteous and behaved very well. This shows that Wu Song Although he tends to solve problems violently, he is also a good neighbor who bows down.Wu Song often said that he was rude, but in fact, among Liangshan heroes, his speech and behavior were considered very polite. More importantly, there is a mass of murderous intent in the chest, but a mass of kindness on the face, full of murderous intent but not showing any signs of expression, Wu Song can do it, Lu Da and Li Kui can't do it, and neither can Lin Chong.

Compared with Lu Zhishen and Li Kui, Wu Song is the most thoughtful, and he has the most planned in mind when doing things. Like Lu Zhishen and Li Kui, they often act rashly, without planning in advance, and rely on their feelings when things happen, and the results are often unexpected.Such a person is cute, but not accurate. And Wu Song, keeping calm, had already calculated everything in his heart, every step, every goal, every method, every result, he knew it clearly. Watching him do things, I may not have understood it at the time, but afterward, I can see that everything is intertwined, seamless, and everything is in plan.

Such a person is admirable!Sometimes scary too! But at this time, someone is not afraid of him.Pan Jinlian and Wang Po. They have been notified by Ximen Qing: Wu Song is not allowed to file a complaint. So they put down their hearts and were not afraid of him, and they were bold enough to see what he did. How did they know that Wu Song was a person who would not sue at all. For them, if Wu Song sued correctly, it would be a better ending. After the neighbors sat down, Wu Song moved a stool and sat on the horizontal head, and asked the soldiers to close the front and rear doors. The door of Wu Dalang's house is always closed.

Only the person who opens and closes the door has changed. Then the native soldiers came to sieve the wine.After seven glasses of wine, Wu Song drank and called the soldiers: "Let's clear up the cups and plates, and eat after a while." Wu Song wiped the table.All the neighbors will stand up and say goodbye.Wu Song held back both hands, and said, "Just about to talk. A group of senior neighbors are here, and the senior neighbor in the middle can write?" It turns out that it is not for drinking, but for talking.What are you talking about? Still have to write.What words should I write?

Among them, Yao Erlang recommended Hu Zhengqing: "This Hu Zhengqing writes very well." Wu Song then sang aloud, saying: "If you bother each other, you will die." Rolling up his sleeves, he swished the ground under his clothes and pulled out the sharp knife. Not only to talk, but also to write, and a knife! Since the knife was pointed at He Jiushu and forced him to show evidence, it has never appeared again. So, at this time, Wu Song showed his sharp knife again, and who was he pointing at? First of all, pointing the sword at Wangpo deters the neighbors. Wu Song held his sister-in-law in his left hand and the sharp knife in his right hand, and designated Wang Po.The two Yuan Biaobiao opened their strange eyes, but looked at the neighbors.

You can see how calm he is with one mind and three tasks! Wu Songdao: "My neighbors are here. The villain has his own head for his grievances, and his own owner for his debts." "If you have a grievance, you will have a revenge." If there is one who leaves first, Wu Song will turn around and don't blame him! Teach him to eat me five or seven knives first, and Wu Er will pay for his life!" All the neighbors were stunned and did not dare to move again. Turning around, looking at Wang Po, he shouted: "Listen up, old pig and dog! My brother's life is on your shoulders! I'm asking you slowly!"

Turning back again, looking at the woman, he scolded: "Listen, you whore! How did you murder my brother's life? Seriously, I will spare you!" The woman said: "Uncle, you are so unreasonable! Your brother hurt himself and died of illness, what are you doing to me!" Pan Jinlian's words seem to be reasonable, but in fact, she has exposed her indifference to Wuhan University. Because "what are you doing to me" is an ambiguous sentence, and it can be interpreted in two ways: first, I did not murder Wuhan University.Second, I am indifferent to the death of Wuhan University.

Of course Pan Jinlian meant the first one, but unintentionally, she revealed her indifference.When my husband died, I should be heartbroken, so how could I say that I didn't do anything about it? When Wu Song heard this, he became even angrier. Before Pan Jinlian could finish speaking, he stuck the knife on the table, grabbed Pan Jinlian's bun with his left hand, and lifted it with his right hand; kicked the table down, and threw Pan Jinlian across the table. Gently lift it over, and put it over in front of the coffin. Then, he drew the knife with his right hand, and again designated Wang Po and said: "Old pig dog! Tell the truth!"

Wang Po couldn't get away, so she had to say: "You don't have to get angry, I just talk about it." Wu Song asked the soldiers to take the paper, ink, brush and inkstone, pointed the knife at Hu Zhengqing and said, "I'm sorry, please listen to me and write a sentence." Hu Zhengqing said with trembling arms, "Little... villain... just... write... ...to write." Asked for some inkstone, and began to grind the ink. Look at this moment, several times the eyes flickered, several times the knife light flickered.This knife, from facing Wang Po, to inserting it on the table, pulled it out again, pointed at Wang Po, and then pointed at Hu Zhengqing.Where it pointed, everyone was frightened, and the cold light flashed, everyone was frightened.

Hu Zhengqing took a pen and said, "Wang Po, tell the truth!" The woman said: "You don't do my business, what do you teach?" I was frightened and stupid just now, so I agreed.Now calm down a little bit, knowing the consequences of speaking out, and denying it again. After all, Wang Po is sophisticated. Wu Song's knife was aimed at Pan Jinlian again. Wu Song said: "Old pig and dog! I know all about it, you just let it go! If you don't tell me, I'll cut this whore first, and then I'll kill you, old dog!" Picking up the knife, he looked at the woman's face and wiped it twice. These two strokes completely destroyed Pan Jinlian's psychological defense. She hurriedly shouted: "Uncle! Please spare me! Let me get up, and I'll let you go!" Pan Jinlian was so shocked that she lost her soul, she could only tell how to hook up with Ximen Qing, how to kick Wuda, and how to poison Wuda to death, from beginning to end. Wang Po saw that there was no denying it, so she had no choice but to confess.Hu Zhengqing wrote the confessions of the two, and asked him to draw their fingers and draw characters, and the four neighbors also drew their names and characters. Within a day, the truth about the murder of her husband in which several people colluded came to light.The head of the capital of Yanggu County, the captain of the criminal police, is really amazing! So, after the truth comes out, will Wu Song hand over Pan Jinlian and Wang Po to the government for disposal? Wu Song did not act in accordance with the law!He wants to defend justice with his own efforts.Therefore, with the truth revealed and his confession in hand, he did not escort Pan Jinlian and Wang Po to the county government to let them accept legal punishment. He asked the soldiers to tie up Wangpo.He also asked the soldiers to bring a bowl of wine to offer in front of the coffin, and dragged the woman to kneel in front of the coffin, weeping and saying, "My brother's soul is not far away! Today my brother will avenge you!" He asked the soldiers to light the paper money. Pan Jinlian didn't look well, and was about to scream, when Wu Song's sharp knife cut a cold light, and everything was over. Pan Jinlian's resentment, Pan Jinlian's hatred, Pan Jinlian's evil, Pan Jinlian's crime... everything is over. This knife completely liquidated Pan Jinlian's life, and also liquidated the love and hatred between her uncle and sister-in-law. Killed Pan Jinlian, cut off her head, took a quilt to wrap her head, wiped the knife, put it in the sheath; washed her hands... Let's see his series of actions after the murder: cutting off his head, wrapping his head, wiping the knife, plugging the sheath, and washing his hands!To paraphrase a sentence that contemporary youth like: He is so cool! Yes, Wu Song is the coolest among the heroes of "Water Margin", and the one who likes to play cool the most. This series of actions must have shocked all the neighbors.There is both Wu Song's calmness and his ruthlessness. Cool is cold. At the end, facing the stunned neighbors, he sang a song, and said, "Don't be so strange if you are a neighbor. Please sit upstairs and wait for Wu Er to come." A person who kills a lot, but he is polite and thoughtful. The most terrifying thing is such a person. Moreover, before that, he arranged for Uncle He and Brother Yun to stay in his room, and told them not to worry, and to come and go as they went. Since it will come after a while, it must not be a big deal, not a tricky thing. However, during his visit, within half a day, he had done such an earth-shattering event and dealt with such a difficult matter. Now, he locked all the neighbors in his brother's house, and told them, come and go!
