Chapter Forty-Nine: The King Is Everywhere
The so-called rabbit is in a hurry and bites, how can Liu Yi not guard against Gongsun Xiong's black hand behind his back, so he let Li Yuanba and Zhao Yun ambush early.
Seeing Li Yuanba galloping over, Li Gui hurriedly threw away his bow and arrows, drew his sword from his waist, and said with a smug face: "Ignorant man, look at the move!" ”
This Li Guiping has not done a few good things in his life, but there are countless bad things, killing people and goods, abounding, it can be said that he is invincible all over Xiangping, and he did not take Li Yuanba in his eyes at this time.
"Zheng!"
With a long rainbow through the sun, the long sword swung out, stabbing Li Yuanba in the chest.
"Dang!"
Li Yuanba's two hammers staggered each other, making a dull loud noise, and at the same time slammed the long sword in Li Gui's hand.
The fierce anti-shock force made Li Gui unable to hold it, his palm slipped, and the long sword fell out of his hand, and it was broken into three sections.
"Whew!"
There was another sound of breaking the air, Li Gui's eyes instantly dilated, and he watched in horror as a sledgehammer hit his head, and his body seemed to be frozen, unable to open at all.
Seeing that the sledgehammer was about to smash his head, Li Gui's legs were weak, he knelt down straight, and exclaimed: "Grandpa spares his life, all this was instructed by Gongsun Xiong." ”
Li Yuanba's arm jerked suddenly, he was able to stabilize the sledgehammer in his hand, kicked Li Gui off the roof, and shouted: "Another guy who is afraid of death, it's boring, get out of here!" ”
Li Gui stumbled, and it was too late to grab the eaves, so he rolled down directly from the roof, fell half to death, and wailed in pain.
Liu Yi got up and came to Li Gui, and scolded sharply: "Murdering a state and county official is a capital crime. ”
"No!"
A group of black-armored soldiers flashed out of the darkness, each holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right.
Li Gui shuddered in his heart again, he didn't expect that there were so many people in ambush in this courtyard, but he was like a fool, and he had already fallen into the trap.
"My lord, spare your life! All this was instructed by Gongsun Xiong. ”
Liu Yi snorted coldly: "Gongsun Xiong's family has a great cause, Ben Taishou has no grievances with him, why harm me, don't talk nonsense, Zilong, take it down, hack to death with a knife." ”
I saw a white-robed military general separated from behind Liu Yi, it was Zhao Yun, and the arrow that Li Gui was bound to get just now was intercepted by Zhao Yun.
"My lord, as long as you spare the villain, the villain Li Gui can explain all the things that Gongsun Xiong has committed over the years."
"Oh?"
Liu Yi pretended to be surprised and asked, "What else did Gongsun Xiong do?" ”
Li Guiqiang endured the pain, knelt on the ground and said: "Yes, the previous Taishou Gong Ping was poisoned by him." ”
This Li Guiren is ruthless, but he is also a greedy person who is afraid of death, in order to survive, this traitor seeking glory will not be considered by the brain at all, and he will say it when he opens his mouth.
"Damn!"
Liu Yi shouted angrily: "It's really lawless, Li Gui, if you confess, Ben Taishou may be lenient and save you from death." ”
Li Gui hurriedly kowtowed and shouted: "I said, I'll say it all!" ”
"Zilong, take it down, review it well, and let him write down the guilt."
"Yes!"
Zhao Yun escorted Li Gui to the prison, and he didn't have to be tortured, and Li Gui recruited everything, including Gongsun Xiong's eldest son, Gongsun Hong, who was the illegitimate son of Steward Wang.
The next day, at dawn, gongs and drums were beating everywhere in Xiangping City, saying that the Taishou Mansion Yamen was going to try a big case on the long street today, in front of all the people of Xiangping City.
The news spread from all sides, and on the long street outside the Taishou Mansion, the water that had already been enclosed was impassable, and only a phalanx was enclosed in the middle, in which there were many soldiers and armor, and three people with scattered cloaks knelt on the ground with a desolate expression.
"Open!"
A mighty voice sounded, and a team of Xuanjia sergeants armed with spears escorted Liu Yi to the middle seat.
"This is the new Taishou-sama?"
"It's so young!"
"The three kneeling people seem to be Gongsun Xiong, Steward Wang, and Xiangping bully Li Gui."
……
The onlookers began to talk and speculate on each other.
"Silence!"
Liu Yi slapped Xingmu heavily, and said loudly: "Fellow fathers and villagers of Xiangping City, this official is the new Liaodong Taishou Liu Ziming, and today under this bright and clear situation, these three wicked people will be tried in court, and Xiangping City will be peaceful. ”
"County Cheng, read out the guilt!"
"It has been ascertained that five years ago, Gongsun Xiong poisoned Gong Ping, the previous Taishou, with the intention of offering his maidservants........."
Ten major charges were read out in a row, all of which were capital crimes.
After reading it out, Liu Yi said solemnly: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, these three people have careless human life, the crime is extremely heinous, and it cannot be forgiven, and the sentence will be executed!" ”
"Ahh
Li Gui's head was buzzing, didn't he say that he would confess and be lenient.
"Adults, villains are all recruited! You promised the villain that you would spare the villain. ”
Li Gui pleaded with a long voice.
Liu Yi said in a loud voice: "You kill people for Gongsun Xiong, heaven is intolerable, if you want to live, you have to ask the people of the city, if they promise to let you go, this official will comply with the will of the people and spare your life." ”
Li Gui's eyes were desolate, his heart was cold, and he let the people of Xiangping City decide his life and death, and the result was self-evident, and he had no choice but to die.
"Kill him, kill him!"
The onlookers instantly erupted and shouted loudly, all the resentment of the years roared out.
Seeing that the deadline was approaching, the three of Gongsun Xiong glanced at each other with hatred.
"Li Gui, who was raised by a thief, Lao Tzu treats you well, why do you sell your lord for glory."
Gongsun Xiong shouted at Li Gui in despair.
"Not thin?"
"Whew!"
Li Gui sneered: "Over the years, I have killed forty-three people for you and made so much money for you, but you treat me like a pig and a dog, this is not thin!" ”
"I'm going to die anyway, Lao Tzu simply said, Gongsun Xiong, do you know that Gongsun Hong is not your biological son at all, but the wild seed of the king's housekeeper."
Gongsun Xiong's chest was restless, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he looked at Steward Wang with angry eyes, and scolded: "Old Wangtou, you are a wretch." ”
"Haha......"
Steward Wang couldn't help but smile and said, "Gongsun Xiong, you are an old immortal, to tell you the truth, I have slept with your wives and concubines." ”
"You ......"
Gongsun Xiong spurted a mouthful of blood again and fainted.
Liu Yi looked at the three of them, and said with a smile: "It seems that there is an old king in any era!" ”
"Execution!"
With an order, the three were beheaded in public and hung on the city gate as a sign of their example.
As for Gongsun Xiong's family business, after all the confiscation, Liu Yi used these ill-gotten gains to exchange food for the Zhou family and the Zhao family, and distributed all of them to the people of the city.
