Chapter 257: Salt Falls from the Sky
Xiao Ji looked at the group of ashamed men, shook his head, sighed helplessly, motioned for everyone to sit down and talk, and asked with concern, "Have the wounds been treated?"
Everyone nodded in response.
Liu Qi, who was in the lead, was even more busy getting up and clasping his fists and explained: "Back to the young master, it has been dealt with, and Liu Ye personally prepared the medicine." You see, if you don't wash off the powder and take a closer look, you won't be able to tell that our brother is injured at all!"
So even if they were swaggering down the street now, no one would suspect that they were the ones who snatched the smuggled salt and injured or even killed the die-hard guards of the King of Fenyang!
Xiao Ji glared at Liu Qi angrily, and reprimanded him helplessly: "Shaoyang is proud! If Liu Ye knows about this, I will have to teach you a good lesson!"
When Liu Qi heard this, he immediately made a bitter face, and clenched his fists again and again to beg for mercy: "Young master, don't tell my father ......"
Liu Ye has trained many masters in his life, starting from Liu Yuan and ranking up to twenty-seven, each different and capable of taking charge of himself.
In the original Jinyang disaster, these twenty-seven people lost most of them in order to escort Xiao Ji out of the encirclement, and now only eleven people have survived.
Among them, only Liu Qiyi is Liu Ye's parent, but Liu Ye did not treat him leniently because of this, but became a little more strict than others.
So don't look at Liu Qi as a leader in front of this group of people, majestic and majestic, but as soon as he arrived at Liu Ye's side, it was like the mouse seeing a cat, so well-behaved that he didn't dare to move.
When they saw the leader's appearance, they all laughed.
Liu Qi himself scratched his head, smirked, and sat down.
For a while, the atmosphere became harmonious and relaxed again.
"Let's talk about it, what's going on?" After the greetings, Xiao Ji asked about business.
Liu Qi, as the leader, replied unyieldingly: "According to the young master's orders, the subordinates originally planned to send their own people into the enemy to deal with it. Thinking that even if this thing can't be done this time, at least I can bury eyeliner in the enemy to plan for the future.
Who knew that the secret guards of the Fenyang Palace's strength were not bad, and their vigilance was extremely high, which should not be underestimated, but they were not found a suitable opportunity by their subordinates.
Seeing that the two ships of illicit salt were about to be resold, his subordinates had no choice but to temporarily change their plans, pretending to be heroes in the green forest, and changing their outwitting to attacking ......
Although it was inevitable to be a little injured, fortunately, the salt was snatched back, and people took the opportunity to insert it.
Although those people can't enter Li Fengxian's inner circle for the time being, they will at least be more reused than the boatmen who were installed before......"
It's not that they don't listen to orders, but that the situation forces them!
Therefore, young master, don't tell Liu Ye, let him be disciplined by Lao Tzu!
Xiao Ji glanced at Liu Qi, saw through his careful thoughts, didn't feel funny, nodded, and promised: "The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to pursue it again." Besides, it's expedient, and there's nothing wrong with you doing that......"
Liu Qi immediately relieved his heart when he heard this, and his eyebrows were overjoyed, revealing two rows of big white teeth.
Seeing this, the others also hurriedly surrendered.
"Young master, what should we do with those two boats of illicit salt now?" Liu Qi asked.
Xiao Ji glanced at him and said, "Since you all claim to be 'heroes of the green forest', the wealth you have looted will naturally be used to help the people!"
Liu Qi scratched his head, smiled, and said, "Since the young master has spoken, then his subordinates will send all these private salts to the people." ”
Xiao Ji nodded with a smile, and added: "Remember, try to send it to the poor people in and around the capital." ”
Liu Qi was stunned and asked puzzledly, "Why?"
"Why?" Xiao Ji sneered, turned the cup in his hand, looked up with a cold light, and sneered, "Naturally, the matter of private salt is getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached the ears of our Emperor Majesty!"
In order to seek the throne, Emperor Longqing did not hesitate to deliberately let foreign enemies invade, and used the excuse to wash his brother in blood, but he couldn't be busy here, but Emperor Longqing was at ease in the nine-fold palace to be his chic emperor!
Blood debt, after all, must be paid with blood!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, it was just time for Emperor Longqing to see how big the ambitions of the important ministers he relied on were really there, so as to take the opportunity to separate the seemingly inseparable relationship between the two because of that evil secret.
With Emperor Longqing's ruthlessness and viciousness, even his own brother can still destroy the Manmen, how can he really trust anyone.
In particular, Li Fengxian was still the conspirator and executor who colluded with foreign enemies and plotted against the country.
Liu Qi suddenly heard this, and clenched his fists in response: "My subordinates understand, and they will live up to the expectations of the young master!"
The others also got up, clenched their fists and responded solemnly: "We will live up to the young master's expectations!"
Xiao Ji nodded, also got up and clasped his fists, and solemnly thanked: "In this way, this matter will be entrusted to you." However, I still say that in everything, the first priority is to protect yourself!"
Li Fengxian lost two boats of illicit salt, and lost nearly ten good hands, especially the sale of illicit salt, so it was exposed, how could he give up, I am afraid that Liu Qi and others' next "help the poor" will be more difficult and full of traps than the previous trip to "rob the rich".
Xiao Ji expected it to be good, in the Fenyang Palace, the king of Fenyang, who has always been gentle and easy-going, has no good face for anyone in the past two days, and even the lord of Zhenhui County shouted that he and Princess Shouyang would snatch the presiding power of the Lishan Poetry Society to sing poems in Lishan during the Double Ninth Festival of the Double Ninth Festival, and begged the king of Fenyang to help him go to the palace to ask for a will, but he was scolded by the king of Fenyang with a cold face and driven out directly.
This has never happened before.
The lord of Zhenhui was indignant about this, locked himself in the house in anger, and went on a hunger strike as a threat, trying to force the king of Fenyang to compromise.
But Rao is like this, and the king of Fenyang did not come forward to comfort her for a word, but just instructed the princess of Fenyang to take care of her.
For a while, the people in the Fenyang Royal Mansion were panicked and didn't know what was going on, so that their master suddenly lost his normality.
At this time, in the study, Li An cautiously looked at the face of the king of Fenyang, swallowed his saliva, and replied tremblingly: "Lord Wang, there is news outside that last night, salt fell from the sky in the slums of Nancheng......
Before he finished speaking, King Fenyang, who was sitting in front of the large mahogany bookcase and pondering, raised his head when he heard the words, his face was pale, his eyes were split, and he whispered: "What did you say?!"
Li An shuddered, hurriedly lowered his waist, and said the previous words again intermittently: "According to... According to the spies, they said... Say it's Nancheng... Nancheng last night, the day... Salt from the sky......"
