Chapter 773: Killing with a Knife
Yu Gongcheng was angry, he walked up to Lan Ziyi with his hands behind his back and asked:
"You said that you can't kill him, do you want him to confess all the people he said?"
Lan Ziyi argued:
"My father-in-law killed him, so he didn't have three hundred taels of silver here, and he confessed himself!"
Lan Ziyi's words reminded Father-in-law Yu, and his anger was finally awakened by this sentence. Father-in-law Yu touched his chin again and paced back and forth in the room, while Lan Ziyi took the opportunity to get up and follow Father-in-law Yu and said:
"Father-in-law, I'm partial to my brother, but this person really can't be killed. Seven or eight hundred households with so many guards intercepted me in the yamen, even if this matter did not spread out of the palace, it would spread all over Taichengwei, and I Anda was locked up in the Grievance Washing Temple, and so many people in the Grievance Washing Temple also knew about it. At this moment, father-in-law, you killed me, Anda, what will others think? You don't have to think about it to know the answer. ”
Father-in-law Yu obviously listened to Lan Ziyi's words, and his tone softened, and Father-in-law Yu asked:
"But what if your brother recruits me?"
Lan Ziyi said:
"I don't know if it's going to be recruited later, and it's definitely not recruiting now."
Fair Fish:
"Why?"
Lan Ziyi said:
"If I've already recruited Anda, then these hundreds of households shouldn't have been ambushed to arrest me, they must have fled."
Father-in-law Yu touched his chin and nodded in approval, he paced a few more steps, thought about it and asked:
"In your opinion, how should things end now?"
Lan Ziyi thought for a while and said:
"The first priority is to get my Anda out first."
Father-in-law Yu sneered and said:
"It's hard to kill him, but it's easy to get him out? You tell me what excuse I used to let him out? “
Lan Ziyi also knew that this matter was not easy, and he could only sigh after smacking his tongue. An old man and a young man stood in the hall like this, like two dead trees, helpless. After thinking about it for a long time, Lan Ziyi said:
"I have to dispose of Cheng Jingzhong and a few of them, those who saw my Anda that day, those who had their ears cut off, all of them were disposed of."
Father-in-law Yu turned around and walked to the chair and sat down angrily, he picked up the tea bowl and threw it away, probably because the tea was hot, he said:
"Ziyi, are you in a hurry? Killing your brother is three hundred taels of silver here, can you kill Cheng Jingzhong? “
Lan Ziyi said:
"Of course it can't be my father-in-law and me, we have to find an excuse to borrow a knife to kill people."
Father-in-law Yu sneered:
"Your brother entered the Temple of Washing Grievances, and it was only a matter of a few hours for his mouth to be pried open, where can I go to find a knife willing to kill in these few hours?"
This time it was Lan Ziyi's turn to pace back and forth, but his head was more flexible than that of Father-in-law Yu, and after turning around, Lan Ziyi suddenly opened his mouth, and he said:
"There's something available."
Seeing Lan Ziyi's righteousness, Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned over on his knees and asked:
"What's available? Ziyi, hurry up. “
Lan Ziyi said:
"It's a matter of sending troops to the southeast to suppress bandits."
Father-in-law Yu was slightly surprised when he heard this, he leaned back in his chair and thought for a while, and then said:
"Ziyi, your idea is good, let Cheng Jingzhong and them enter the army, it is convenient to deal with it. But when Timoshenko was arrested, he transferred people away, which still had obvious intentions and would be suspected. “
Lan Ziyi said:
"This matter is easy to do, father-in-law, you only said that you asked some clues from me, some of the generals who sent troops this time had an affair with me, father-in-law, you need someone you can trust to keep an eye on you, and you have to go right now."
Father-in-law Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, he slapped his thigh and said:
"Brilliant plan! That's it! In this way, I must fully recommend your Gao Yanzong to lead the troops. “
When Lan Ziyi heard this, he raised his hand to stop Yu Gong from doing justice:
"No, father-in-law, if you want to do this kind of wet work, Gao Yanzong can't use it."
Father-in-law Yu was puzzled at first, and then relieved, he thought about it and asked Lan Ziyi:
"Then who do you think is suitable?"
Lan Ziyi said:
"Li Minchun is enough!"
Father-in-law Yu sighed:
"I originally wanted to give Lao Qiu Ba a favor, but I didn't expect such a lever to be inserted. Either way, no matter what. ”
Lan Ziyi knew that what Father-in-law Yu said Lao Qiu Ba was looking at, but he didn't expect that his words would actually cut off Zhang Yanwu's future. Father-in-law Yu continued:
"If you have a plan, don't hesitate, lest you have too many dreams at night. I will now go to seal the book and enter the table, and please change the deputy general from Zhang Yanwu to Li Guangzhong. ”
Lan Ziyi asked in surprise:
"Adjutant general?"
Father-in-law Yu had already walked to the door at this time, and when he heard this, he just replied hastily:
"Li Chenghai promoted He Wenyu as the commander, and I can only match a deputy general. This is also a good thing, let Li Chenghai carry the black pot for us, and we are innocent. ”
After saying that, Father-in-law Yu strode out of the house, leaving Lan Ziyi in the house with a wry smile:
"It's all done with this kind of poisonous hand, how can you still be innocent? Alas! ”
In the next few days, Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers recuperated in the bedroom of the Yu father-in-law, and the four brothers ate and drank well every day, except for not being able to go out, everything else was fine. After only one night, Father-in-law Yu came to Lan Ziyi early the next morning, and he didn't care whether Lan Ziyi and the others got up or not, and as soon as they entered the door, they said noisily:
"Why is Ziyi still sleeping? Hurry up, hurry up! ”
Lan Ziyi was beaten, although there were invasive drugs available, but he still didn't fall asleep in pain in the first half of the night, he fell asleep when it was almost dawn, and he was woken up not long after falling asleep, Lan Ziyi was naturally annoyed, but it was Father-in-law Yu who woke him up, Lan Ziyi could only laugh with him, he got up and said:
"My father-in-law is so interested, I'm afraid that the matter has already been done."
Seeing that Lan Ziyi's eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were dull, Father-in-law Yu laughed at him and said:
"Ziyi, you are not as young as me as an old man, I didn't sleep all night last night and was full of energy, but you are sluggish, it's a shame."
Who was in the other couches in the hall The Tao family brothers had already gotten up and came over to serve Lan Ziyi to dress at this time, but they were stopped by Yu Gonggong, and with a wave of his hand, a lady came in to serve the four of them, and he sat down and crossed his legs and said:
"It's okay Ziyi, you can leave the palace today. I miss you not seeing you for a long time yesterday, Yue'er must think that you are going crazy. “
Lan Ziyi spat out mouthwash and said:
"Yue'er thinks about her father-in-law, how can she think about me, besides, with her connection with her father-in-law, he still doesn't know where I am?"
After finishing speaking, Lan Ziyi suddenly felt that something was wrong, he turned his head to look at Father-in-law Yu and asked:
"Didn't my father-in-law tell Yue'er?"
Father-in-law Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and sneered:
"How can it be leaked if it is confidential?"
Lan Ziyi asked again:
"In that case, how can I leave today?"
Fair Fish:
"Last night, I asked them to go to the arsenal camp to 'keep an eye' on Li Guangzhong, prepare for a day today, and tomorrow the army will be launched, they don't have time to take care of here."
Speaking of this, the fish father-in-law sighed and said:
"It's a pity, it's a pity, if I had sent them out of town earlier, they wouldn't have been with the army today."
After speaking, Father-in-law Yu looked at Lan Ziyi and asked:
"Ziyi, can they come back from this expedition?"
Lan Ziyi was already dressed neatly at this time, he got up and sat down next to Grandpa Yu, and then said:
"The demon thieves are wandering, most of them are in the mountains, the army enters the mountains to suppress, the location is inconvenient, and they are in the bright place, trapped in ambushes, in my opinion, it is difficult for them to come back."
Yu Gonggong announced that the lady was serving tea for Lan Ziyi, and at the same time asked:
"How could the demon thief listen to Wei Hou's words and ambush him when he said that he was ambushed?"
Hearing this, Lan Ziyi turned his face to look at Tao Zhulu, he only called "Second Brother", and Tao Zhulu got up and hugged his fists:
"Young master, father-in-law, don't worry, I will leave Beijing today."
