One hundred and eighty-eight chapters of hush money
Although these people are still alive, the blood on the ground and the smell of blood emitted are easy to make some people with poor psychological quality nausea and headaches.
After a long time, the servants slowly returned to their normal state. Although these officials are disgusted by such scenes, they are always officials, and their psychological quality has always been very human, and it is impossible that they have never seen blood, but they have never seen a bloody scene like this.
In the past, I have also seen other people fighting, stabbing and injuring people, but that kind of is a few people, and the situation is not very serious, where is it like here. The eleven people in this alley all looked miserable, seriously injured, and bleeding profusely.
If it is not dealt with in time, these people are afraid that they will die due to excessive blood loss. Although he knew that these people were bandits and wanted to rob Li Yan, they would become like this, but it was also a human life. Even if they want to die, they have to wait until they have finished their interrogation and decided whether to put them to death or not.
However, they also believed what Li Yan said earlier, and after seeing this one, they also expressed their belief. Li Yan is indeed a person, and all the people who want to rob him have lost their ability to act.
So the eyes they looked at Li Yan changed directly. They originally thought that Li Yan was a person who had no power to tie chickens, but now he was a person who could defeat ten masters with one enemy, which was not at all like what a person with no power to tie chickens should have.
What you need to know is that the people who can be bandits are not ordinary ordinary people. They are all able to single-handedly fight ordinary people, three or four existences, and fierce can beat four or five people alone. After all, he often walks on a sword, and his awareness of fighting, ruthlessness and moves are not something that ordinary people can have.
However, such a person was all abolished by Li Yan. It's okay to say that those people are bare-handed. But people also have weapons in hand, and they can't be against Li Yan alone.
So it's no wonder that when they looked at Li Yan, their eyes changed, after all, such a fierce person, if they wanted to beat them, they could only bear it.
Although these officials looked at Li Yan's eyes and admired Li Yan's military value, they also had to do business. So the head of the official looked at the people lying on the ground and asked, "Are you bandits?" ”
Li Yan also said earlier that these people are bandits, and these officials also believe it, and with the weapons around those people, they can also see it. But the relevant process cannot be lost, and you still have to say hello.
After the words of the head of the government fell, those bandits were, you look at me, I look at you, and none of them said. In the end, it was still the leader of the bandits, nodding slightly, indicating that he and the others were indeed bandits.
After all, at this time, whether they say yes or no, is not a very important question. Even if it is not, but Li Yan is hijacked with a knife, which is also the evidence of the crime that put them in prison. Even if they don't go to prison and are let go, I'm afraid they won't survive tonight, the main thing is that Li Yan won't let them go. This is what he thinks of himself, whether he will let it go or not, who knows.
When the head of the government heard what Ge Wei said, he nodded and continued to ask, "Then why did you rob Li Yangongzi?" Don't you know the weight of Li Yan's son-in-law's county guard? ”
The head of this official still knows the reason why this Ge Wei and them robbed Li Yan. It's nothing more than that Li Yan now has 20,000 taels of silver tickets on him, which is why they want to rob Li Yan. And knowing why you have to ask, this is where the sentence behind the head of the official lies. It means that you know that Li Yan is the person who is the county guard, why do you still do this? Isn't this looking for your own death?
"Why rob him? It's not because he's rich, if he doesn't have money, what are we going to rob him for?? Ge Wei glanced at the head of the official with disdain, laughed at himself, and continued: "What if he is the lord of the county guard? What does this have to do with us? ”
"You must know that we are bandits, and we have not settled in Xihe County earlier, but have made our home everywhere, as long as we leave this place and go to other states and counties after robbing him, what can you do to us? So don't bluff people with the fact that he is so good at the county guard, it's useless for people like us. ”
"But first in our way, planted in your hands, it is not because we are wrong about the news, so we also admit it, and there is nothing to say. So whatever you want, you can do whatever you want. ”
When Ge Wei said this, his expression gradually dimmed, because now he also knows the ending, which is nothing more than death. What's the big deal? It's a big deal that eighteen years later, it's just another good man.
However, when he said the last sentence, the momentum was insufficient, and his voice was not as stiff as before, but it was euphemistic, obviously his heart was different, and he didn't want to die.
After all, no one wants to die, isn't it good to live? Why do you want to die? And this Ge Wei also hopes that he will live well.
And what he says now is because he is a bandit, and bandits usually end up miserable. After all, they are all a gang that usually do a lot of evil and harm one party everywhere, such as kidnapping Li Yan today, which is to harm others.
However, Ge Wei's situation is still relatively good, he didn't burn and loot everywhere, but he didn't rob a little money. And the reason why Ge Wei embarked on this path is not because after the fall of the previous dynasty. There are many grass kings from all walks of life, fighting everywhere, and there are also debauchery and riots, causing the world to be famous.
And because this Ge Wei couldn't eat and was often oppressed, he went to kidnap the son of the landlord's family at that time, intercepted his money, and finally because of this resistance, he killed the son of the landlord's family, and was forced to become a bandit.
But because three or four years ago, it was not long before he killed the landlord's son. Today's Tang Emperor Li Shimin exterminated all the grass kings, forming a unified situation in the Tang Dynasty. But because he had killed people before, after reunification, he was also wanted by the locality.
Since he is still wanted, this Ge Wei simply doesn't do it, and continues to be his bandit. That's why I accepted so many younger brothers, and it was also because of what I had done that I was desperate, so I simply stayed together, blessed and shared hardships.
So speaking of which, this Ge Wei can be regarded as a pitiful person, but a poor man, there must be something hateful, he is pitiful in front, but in such a prosperous world later, he is still doing such things to harm others, so there is nothing to sympathize with.
When the official heard Ge Wei's ridicule, he couldn't help but blush. After all, people are bandits, as long as they run away after the robbery, if they want to catch them, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, or they are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, and when the wind passes, it is okay to come out again.
So it was redundant for him to ask, but he still glared at Ge Wei fiercely, if Li Yan wasn't still here, the head of this official really wanted to go up and give this Ge Wei two kicks, so that he would know the fate of ridicule.
However, Li Yan was noncommittal about Ge Wei's words, glanced at Ge Wei lightly, looked at the head of the official and said, "Since you all know about the clearance, there is nothing for me here." ”
"But don't spread the word about it, and let those who just saw it outside, and let them not spread it." Li Yan said this, took out a few silver tickets, and said to those officials:
"Here is a silver ticket of two hundred taels, and each of you is ten taels, which is considered a reward for helping me deal with the rest of the things. And those people outside give five taels of silver as a hush money. The rest is their healing fee, heal their injuries, and don't let people say that I bullied them. ”
When those officials heard Li Yan's words, they were directly stunned, what? Give each of them ten taels as a reward for helping Li Yan deal with things? This suddenly made them a little hard to believe their ears, whether they heard it wrong.
Ten taels of silver, but a lot, their annual income is only forty or fifty taels of silver, and these ten taels of silver can be used as one-fifth of their income, so when they heard this, their hearts immediately moved.
However, when I thought that Li Yan was deeply valued by the county guard, Tang Liwen's weight, and the relationship with Chen Meng was not ordinary, if they really took Li Yan's money, they would lose their iron rice bowl in a short time.
So he immediately shook his head and said: "Childe, this is our duty, how dare we accept your money, so Childe can keep it for himself." ”
"Hehe, I know what you're worried about, what are you afraid of?" When Li Yan heard the words of the head of the bureaucracy, he smiled and said, "But you don't have to be afraid, this is not already given by me voluntarily, and it is not what you asked me for, what is there to worry about." After Li Yan finished speaking, he looked at these people with a smile.
When these officials heard Li Yan's words, they hesitated slightly, and finally took the silver ticket given by Li Yan. After all, some of these silver tickets are hush money for pedestrians outside, and the rest are for the healing of these bandits.
These injuries, after all, Li Yan stabbed them, if Li Yan didn't come out, these people's money would not have to be paid by the county government, so they simply forgot it themselves.
After these officials took the silver ticket given by Li Yan, they looked at Li Yan and asked puzzledly: "Son, why do you want to give those people hush money?" Wouldn't it be better to just tell those people about it? Why bother with such a cost? Why don't you want these people to spread the word about what is happening here? If it comes out, Childe's reputation in the city will increase greatly. ”
"Hehe, let's put it bluntly, it's okay, but it's not very safe." Li Yan chuckled lightly and explained: "Don't spread this matter, it's not for a reason. It's still not for my own safety, otherwise how would I have done this? ”
And Li Yan didn't care at all about the great increase in fame or anything, after all, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, his reputation was not the only one at that time.
