Chapter 1078: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (I)
Bai Zhantang, who was waiting to be killed with his eyes closed, thought that he would definitely die, but he didn't wait for the butcher's knife, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Qin Hao had already returned the sword to the sheath, and obviously had no intention of killing him.
"You, you're not going to kill me?"
Bai Zhantang's eyes were full of disbelief, letting him go meant that there was a risk of confidential exposure, so Qin Hao was willing to let him go?
"Bai Zhantang, you took the initiative to offer the Heavenly Sword, it is a great achievement, how can Ben Hou kill a meritorious person."
Hearing Qin Hao say this, Bai Zhantang was excited and apprehensive, and stammered: "But, but, but I ......"
"What, do you want to die so much?" Qin Hao asked playfully.
"When, of course not, just ......"
Tong Xiangyu saw Bai Zhantang's frantic temptation on the verge of death, so he decisively stepped forward and slapped him on the back of the head, and said viciously: "Lord Qinhou has a lot, since he is not allowed not to pursue Lao Bai, then you just have to bear it, where is there so much nonsense." ”
After that, Tong Xiangyu said to Qin Hao again: "Thank you, Marquis Qin." ”
After speaking, Tong Xiangyu also gave everyone else a look, but where did the simple-minded people understand, it was still under Lu Xiucai's whispered reminder that everyone finally reacted, and thanked them in unison: "Xie Qinhou." ”
But Qin Hao said: "Although Ben Hou will not cure Bai Zhantang's crimes, in order to keep the secret, he still has to be imprisoned for a period of time." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and the imprisonment showed that they were really not investigated, if Qin Hao didn't have any protective measures at all, they felt that Qin Hao might settle accounts after the fall.
"Not only Bai Zhantang, but you will also be imprisoned." Qin Hao said again.
"Huh? Why? ”
Everyone was confused, they didn't do anything.
"You already know too many secrets, and that's enough to imprison you for a year."
Everyone was speechless when they heard this, indeed, within this day, they witnessed several big secrets in the world, such as Qin Hao got the Heavenly Sword, for example, the union of Qin Hao and Li Shimin.
Although they hadn't listened to the whole process of Qin Hao and Li Shimin's negotiations, just knowing that Li Shimin and Qin Hao would join forces to pit Yang Jian was enough for them to die ten times.
Li Shimin is not dead yet, and there is still news of joining forces with Qin Hao, if there is the slightest leakage, Yang Jian will definitely take precautions, which will also have a fatal impact on the strategies of both sides.
Therefore, even to keep these secrets, it is not too much to imprison people for a year.
Seeing that these people were a little uneasy, Qin Hao immediately smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, although you are imprisoned, I will not treat you as a prisoner."
You only need to stay in Luoyang for a year, whether it is to open an inn or do business, why should you continue to do it.
After the rumor passes, wherever you go, Ben Hou will not ask. ”
When everyone heard this, they were relieved, but they were still a little resentful in their hearts, after all, they didn't do anything, just because they saw Qin Hao and Li Shimin, they were going to leave Qixia Town, where they depended on for survival, and go to Luoyang, where they were unfamiliar with life, to start from scratch.
This is simply a disaster from the sky!
Li Dazui, these people don't know how to hide, and any thoughts are directly expressed on their faces.
Seeing this, Tong Xiangyu immediately scolded everyone: "What do you have to be dissatisfied with, a big city like Luoyang is not ten thousand times better than Qixia Town, a place where birds don't lay eggs?"
Hou Ye asked us to go to Luoyang to protect us, if Hou Ye really wants to harm us, where is the use of such trouble? ”
After speaking, Tong Xiangyu said to Qin Hao again: "We are willing to obey any arrangements made by Lord Hou." ”
Everyone looked at me and missed you, and finally said in unison: "We are willing to listen to any arrangement of the Hou Ye." ”
Qin Hao glanced at Tong Xiangyu in surprise, and said in his heart: Although the shopkeeper Tong is a philistine, he is still a woman who knows the general situation after all!
"This time, it has affected you and caused so many of you to suffer unjustified disasters, and Ben Hou is very unhappy in his heart."
Qin Hao glanced at Tong Xiangyu appreciatively, and said with a smile: "That's it, for the sake of Bai Zhantang's meritorious dedication to the Heavenly Sword, and the shopkeeper Tong is so general, Ben Hou can give you some compensation, if you have any requirements, just mention it."
When everyone heard this, the city's eyes lit up, but no one dared to take the initiative to stand up and mention it, and finally everyone's eyes fell on Tong Xiangyu.
Although she is a woman, she is the shopkeeper of the Tongfu Inn after all, and she is the backbone of all of them.
Tong Xiangyu comprehended, but said with a wry smile: "Master Hou is kind and I have received it, and we don't have any requirements." ”
"The Shopkeeper's ......"
Guo Furong and the others were immediately anxious when they heard this, they all took the initiative to give up such a good opportunity, is this still the shopkeeper Tong they knew?
Everyone wanted to persuade Tong Xiangyu, but was stopped by Lu Xiucai.
Qin Hao knew that Tong Xiangyu had concerns in his heart, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Shopkeeper Tong doesn't have to be so restrained, Ben Hou doesn't mean anything else, it's just a little compensation, if you don't mention it, Ben Hou will be upset." ”
Tong Xiangyu saw the sincerity in Qin Hao's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised and moved in her heart, after all, with Qin Hao's identity and status, there was no need to explain anything to her, let alone what compensation was.
Since Qin Hao's words have been said to this point, Tong Xiangyu feels that if she still refuses, I am afraid that she will really be a little ignorant, but what to ask for still makes her annoyed, she just wants to be safe and healthy, and there is really no other extravagant hope.
Tong Xiangyu pondered for a while, but she still didn't think of what to ask, and looked at Bai Zhantang and Lu Xiucai, who were the most assertive, rescued, but this suddenly made her eyes light up.
Tong Xiangyu hurriedly pulled Lu Xiucai over, and said with a serious face: "Master Hou, I really didn't blow to you, my fellow, I knew a thousand words at the age of three, memorized Han Fu at the age of five, was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of seven, and was proficient in poetry and songs at the age of eight.
I heard that Hou Ye is eager to seek talents, and Qinghou is a rare talent, so I hope Hou Ye can give him a chance to display his talents. ”
Lu Qinghou looked at Tong Xiangyu with a shocked face, and tears of emotion had begun to roll in his eyes, such a precious opportunity, the shopkeeper actually used it to recommend himself to Qin Hou, this, this ......
"Shopkeeper, you ......"
Lu Xiucai resisted the urge to cry, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Tong Xiangyu.
"Qinghou, why are you still stunned, don't you often say that you just lack a chance to display your talents, now the opportunity is in front of you, you can't miss it."
Lu Xiu looked at Tong Xiangyu in a daze, and then looked at the people behind him.
None of them made a sound, but the shape of their mouths already showed what they wanted to say.
"Come on!"
