Chapter 130: The first evil must be investigated, and the first descending must be lenient

Li Sanjian's implementation of the "Jinghai Ten Strategies" has only been a few months, and it has already begun to show results, forcing the Tongpanshan and other pirates to be extremely uncomfortable, and at the same time, the situation of the Tongpanshan and other pirates is becoming more and more difficult, if the entire coastal roads of the Great Song Dynasty are implementing the "Jinghai Ten Strategies", then the pirates may really have no way to live, so the pirates of Tongpanshan want to make peace with Quanzhou and Li Sanjian, so Gu Longyun came to Quanzhou and wanted to make peace with Li Sanjian.

Of course, if you can't make peace, if you make other plans, how can the pirates not know that the government won't easily talk to them about peace...

"Villain Gu Longyun visits Li Zhizhou!" Gu Longyun's son Gu Ji was not Li Sanjian's opponent, so Gu Longyun had no choice but to come out by himself and discuss with Li Sanjian in person.

Gu Longyun is over forty years old, medium build, dark skin, thin figure, very wide forehead, several deep wrinkles are clearly engraved on his forehead, the wrinkles seem to hide his bumpy experience and suffering, and his eyes under the thick black eyebrows look bright, not like a thief who gathers in the Wuthering Mountains, but like a maritime merchant who has been going to the sea all year round.

"Villain?" Li Sanjian sat still and didn't return the salute, but just snorted coldly and said, "This official thinks that you should call yourself a sinner!" ”

Li Sanjian said, and secretly pinched Cai Yingxue's little hand with his backhand, which meant to tell Cai Yingxue that when the matter is urgent, he should react immediately, take down the pirate leader in front of him, and strike first, and at the same time tell Cai Yingxue that when the matter is critical, he can't leave himself alone and run away...

At this time, Li Sanjian felt some remorse in his heart, why didn't he bring more people here?

At this time, I accidentally fell into the den of thieves, in case something went wrong, wouldn't it be a big deal?

Cai Yingxue gently stabbed Li Sanjian's palm with her fingertips, making Li Sanjian not understand what she meant.

Did Cai Yingxue understand what she meant, or did she take revenge on her frivolous actions?

"Sinners?" Gu Longyun didn't get angry when he heard this, but just smiled and said: "The villain is an honest businessman, who has been doing business at sea all the year round, and the villain's industry is also on Fujian Road, how can you talk about the word 'sinner'?" ”

"Huh!" Li Sanjian sneered when he heard this: "The nine leaders of the Tongpanshan Pirates, oh, I'm sorry, now two have died, for the seven leaders, you Gu Longyun sit in the third position, as the leader of the thieves, what is it if you are not a sinner?" Oh, or you can be called a thief, a thief. ”

Gu Ji on the side suddenly showed anger on his face, glaring angrily at Li Sanjian, Cai Yingxue's face did not change, and she looked at Gu Longyun and the others coldly, and a little ice ballast had appeared on her fingertips.

"Aunt Long, how about you please avoid it first?" When the swords of the two sides were tense, Gu Longyun sighed and said to Long Lingxiang.

Long Lingxiang nodded, and called her daughters Mei'er and Jiao'er out of the room together.

When Jiao'er went out, she looked back at Li Sanjian with some reluctance, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

"Ji'er, you go out too." Gu Longyun saw that Gu Ji was still in the house, so he said.

"Daddy..." Gu Ji still said reluctantly.

"Go down!" Seeing this, Gu Longyun lowered his face and said in a low voice.

Gu Ji had no choice but to walk out of the room step by step.

Seeing this, Gu Longyun shook his head slightly, a scholar, even if he is strong, he is also a scholar, isn't he? At most, he is a strong scholar... What else can you do with yourself?

"Li Zhizhou, the people below have all gone out, Li Zhizhou doesn't hold back? Could it be that Li Zhizhou is afraid of something? Gu Longyun and Cai Yingxue were still in the house, so they asked.

"This official is an official, and you are a thief, so what is this official afraid of?" Li Sanjian smiled when he heard this: "If you want to say that you are afraid, Gu Leader is old in the rivers and lakes, can't you see that this person next to this official is a woman?" And he is the confidant of the official, so if you have something to say, just say it, there is no need to beat around the bush. ”

How could Gu Longyun not see that Cai Yingxue was a woman? So Gu Longyun nodded and said: "What Li Zhizhou said is very true, the Gu family is a person who begs for a living at sea all the year round, and he was forced by some things in the past, and he had to do this, this is a long time ago. All in all, Gu's fact is a last resort. ”

"As a last resort?" Li Sanjian sneered when he heard this: "Is it a last resort to kill people and oversell goods, disregard people's lives, and oppress the people?" ”

"What did Li Zhizhou say about this?" Gu Longyun raised his voice and said, "Gu Mou is a person at sea, if it is not like this, how can he protect himself?" Moreover, many of these things were not Gu Mou's intention, Gu asked himself, and he did not do much harm to the people. ”

"Huh!" Li Sanjian shook his head and said: "If you are a thief for one day, you will be a thief for life, how can you get away with the evil things that pirates do?" Unless you can change your mind and be a new person. Leader Gu, today you did everything possible to bring this official here, just to change your mind and be a new person? If so, the officer may punish you by turning yourself in. ”

The aggressiveness between Li Sanjian's words made Gu Longyun extremely angry, but he didn't dare to attack, so he was suffocated unusually uncomfortable, panting, and his black face was black and red.

Li Sanjian just wanted to force him so that he could take the lead in the subsequent negotiations.

At the same time, Li Sanjian also felt a little angry and depressed, the pirates actually dared to negotiate with him? actually used his acquaintance with Long Lingxiang to bring himself here. Li Sanjian thinks that the only way out for the pirates is to surrender, so what else do we need to talk about?

But things have come to this point, they have been captured by pirates here, so they must have been prepared, otherwise Li Sanjian would immediately take them down and punish them.

Heroes don't suffer immediate losses! Li Sanjian wanted to hear what Gu Longyun wanted to talk about next?

After Gu Longyun took a few breaths, he said slowly to Li Sanjian: "We are thieves, many people are forced to be helpless many times, and the government is too coercive, and there are too many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and many brothers can't survive anymore, so they fall into the grass." ”

Gu Longyun wanted to talk to Li Sanjian about the conditions of Tongpan Island, but Li Sanjian was forced to be unable to export, and Gu Longyun always wanted to get out of Tongpan Island and wanted to "take it out", so he kept vomiting "bitter water".

"You're finally calling yourself a 'thief'... Li Sanjian looked at Gu Longyun with a smug smile when he heard this, and said: "The sea of bitterness is endless, turning back is the shore, since this official is the governor of Quanzhou, he has been lenient with punishment, for the people who violate the law, those who can be forgiven will be forgiven, and those who can be exempted from crime will be exempted, but Keer and others have intensified their attacks on the coastal people, looting and killing the people, and even you and others dare to kill the officers and soldiers, so, how do you let the official be lenient with Youer and others?" There are so many taxes and miscellaneous taxes that force people to fall into the grass, how can this official not know? This official will tell you the truth today, this official is also from a humble background, born as a fish household in Danzhou, Qiongtai, and his family was exploited by the government and profiteers, which is what this official has personally experienced. But that's not a reason to wait for someone to kill and sell more. The family has a family law, and the country has national rules, how can it be forced by the government to fall into the grass, kill people and oversell goods, disregard people's lives, and oppress the people? Competing with the official army, do you have the ability? ”

Since the Song Dynasty, there have been people who have been rising up, how can Li Sanjian not know about this? When he was in Danzhou, Qiongtai, Li Sanjian's grandfather, uncle and others were all "shackles", and they were exploited by the government and profiteers, and they could hardly survive.

But because of this, it is not advisable to kill officials and rebel, Li Sanjian thinks so in his heart.

Falling into the grass and rebelling is almost like hitting a stone with an egg, and there is almost no possibility of success, and the result of failure is to behead and raze the three tribes.

And at the same time of rebellion, it will harm the people, but it will implicate more people, since the beginning of Pangu to the present, there are few righteous troops who really serve the people, almost none, and in the end they are basically the end of the whole army and the head of the body.

Zhang Jiao at the end of the Han Dynasty and Huangchao at the end of the Tang Dynasty had a huge momentum, but in the end, they all ended in the annihilation of the whole army and the disgrace of their reputations, and they made wedding dresses for others.

Li Sanjian is well aware of the Song government's excesses in levying miscellaneous taxes and exploiting the people, thus forcing the people to gather in the mountains and forests and fall into the grass, but he is helpless, and this kind of thing cannot be changed by a small state official.

What Li Sanjian can do is to be in Quanzhou and try to avoid this happening.

"Hehe, Li Zhizhou said with a smile." Gu Longyun smiled when he heard this: "I have been rampant on the sea for more than ten years on Tongpan Island, and I still don't live freely?" Feudal official? Don't talk about your Master Li's Quanzhou, just say that the Great Song Dynasty coastal roads, after so many years, what can I do with Tongpan Island? ”

You can't keep your voice down, Gu Longyun secretly said in his heart, he must let Li Sanjian know something, otherwise he won't be able to continue talking.

"Hehe, at ease? The government can't wait? Li Sanjian also sneered when he heard this: "There is no way for the officials in other places, but in Quanzhou, there are only bandits who are troubled, and the officials must be eradicated." However, as you said, many of you were ordinary people in the past, and they were forced by the government to fall into the grass, and this official thought of this, so he gave you a chance, that is, to 'go ashore' immediately, and after 'going ashore', the official should be lenient, except for the most evil person, and the first evil person will be investigated. Leader Gu, this is your only chance, I hope you will take advantage of this only opportunity. ”

"Oh? Is it? Gu Longyun sneered when he heard this: "Gu is the third leader of the cottage, is it the first evil?" ”

"The first evil must be investigated, the first surrender must be lenient, Gu Leader, would you rather be the first evil or the first to surrender?" Li Sanjian asked rhetorically.

"I... The government often betrayed what the government said in the past, how could Gu believe Li Zhizhou's words? Gu Longyun asked again.

"Gu Longyun!" Li Sanjian shouted loudly when he heard this: "You waited for the official to rebel and commit such a rebellious thing, you Gu Longyun are still talking to the official about the conditions?" What qualifications do you have to negotiate with this officer? Is there really no way to wait for the official? ”
