Chapter 0460: Painful Choice
Liu Mo came back to his senses, the man had already left the banquet, Liu Mo was immersed in great fear, his whole body was trembling, sweat drops were rolling down his forehead, his ears were buzzing, Gao Qizhi on the side noticed his abnormality, and hurriedly asked: "Liu Gong, are you okay?" ”
Liu Mo didn't reply, his heart was beating violently, Gao Jizhi pushed him violently, he stood up in horror this time, trembling all over, and looked at Gao Qizhi in a panic, Gao Qizhi smiled, but he was a little disdainful in his heart, he said: "Liu Gong don't have to be afraid, that guy, it's just a little crazy, he will never denounce us..."
"He... He..."
"His name is Yu Lixi... Alas..."Gao Jizhi shook his head and said: "This person was originally the leader of one of the most warlike tribes in Goguryeo, and he was also known as the first warrior of Goguryeo, very brave, but later, he was crazy... He had six sons, the eldest fell from his horse and died, the second drowned, and the third and fourth were taken by wild beasts... Five sons died in battle... The youngest son, died of illness...."
"Since then, he has gone mad, all day long talking about not doing evil and so on, and he is in the company of those untouchables, doing things that only untouchables do, farming, building houses, and when the Han thieves came, he directly ordered the entire tribe not to fight, and was the first to serve the Han court, and those traitors were all headed by him, and the untouchables listened to him more..."
"However, Liu Gong doesn't have to worry, this guy will never dare to embarrass us... He once said that he would never kill or harm anyone in this life, and I heard that he had not eaten meat for nearly ten years... Therefore, Liu Gong doesn't have to worry, and he won't harm us..."
Liu Mo has been in a state of confusion, spending this banquet, most of the rest of the people are talking, he didn't hear clearly, just nodded blankly, until the end of the banquet, Gao Qizhi wanted to keep him overnight, Liu Mo still said goodbye and left, walking on the road, blown by the cold wind, the entire forehead was like a burning furnace, accompanied by bursts of severe pain.
He returned to the post station, and the officials of the post station saw Liu Mo's pale face, and did not ask too much, and hurriedly invited a doctor for him, and arranged for him to stay and rest, until the next day, Liu Mo was a little sober, and the post station officials stood beside him, looked at Liu Mo's still pale face, and asked, "Liu Gong, have you ever been better?" ”
Liu Mo nodded and asked, "Who is the Kunliang County Commander?" ”
Kunliang is the county seat of today's Xia Gao County.
Hearing Liu Mo's inquiry, the post station official immediately replied: "It is the clan of Cao Gong in the court, called Cao Ren..."
"You asked him to come to me..."
The post station official took the order out, Liu Mo waited here, and in less than an hour, the post station guard shouted outside the door: "Liu Gong, Kunliang ordered Cao Jun to come and visit..."
"Well... Let him in..."
Pushing the door in, it was a strong man with a strong body, looking at it, there was no resemblance to the black and short Cao Sinong in the court, he came to Liu Mo, bowed to Liu Mo, and said: "Kunliang ordered Cao Ren, meet Liu Gong!" ”
Liu Mo nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Yu Lixi... DID YOU KNOW? ”
Cao Ren nodded and said, "Naturally..."
"Tell me about it?"
"This person is the old Goguryeo tribe, but unlike everyone else, I am the county commander, when I came, those old nobles did evil, harmed the people, and incited them to make them enemies with us, or this old man came forward, let the people go back, most of these people are willing to listen to him, and I have also been to his house..."
"He lived a very thrifty life, the courtyard was very dilapidated, only some grain was stored, it is said that ten years ago he sold all his possessions and distributed them to the poor people here, although this man, although he was a barbarian... Ahem..."Cao Ren suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Although he doesn't know etiquette and law, he can't read Ding, but he is also one of the few good people in Xiagao County. ”
"Now, he is farming for a living, self-sufficient, and under his leadership, the people of Kunliang County are willing to obey us, and this has become the richest area in the two counties..."
"Well... Do you know where his home is? ”
Cao Ren nodded, and asked again, "I don't know why you're asking this?" ”
"This is a common order, so don't ask more..."
"Sincerely."
Cao Ren still has important things to do, and he can't be by Liu Mo's side at any time, so he sent two soldiers who are familiar with the situation of Kunliang and have good skills to help, Liu Mo stayed in the post station for two days, and met with some old nobles who came, but during this period, he has been a little stunned, and he doesn't know what he is thinking, and on the fourth day, Liu Mo ordered the two soldiers to take him to Yu Lixi's residence.
The soldiers walked in front, and Liu Mo followed behind, frowning.
Arrived at his residence, this residence, which is similar to Liu Mo's own mansion, is surrounded by simple fences, and a few chickens and ducks can be seen in the courtyard, but he did not stay in his courtyard, and the soldiers led Liu Mo to his farmland, and Yu Lixi's farmland was not far from where he lived.
Far away, Liu Mo saw him.
He rolled his trouser legs, stepped on the dirt, waved his hoe with his crumpled hands, was busy working in the ploughland, and did not notice the surrounding situation, in the lonely wilderness, he was alone, constantly turning over the soil, his body was extraordinarily rickety, Liu Mo was stunned again, he was silent for a long time, and then he looked at the two soldiers beside him and said, "You guys go back first..."
The two of them were stunned for a moment and said, "Gong Liu, it's not safe here, you can't leave Gong alone..."
"Then wait for me at that junction, and I'll go to him alone..."
"Respectfully!"
Watching the two soldiers walk away, Liu Mo looked at his wide sleeves, put his hand down, and the dagger slipped into his hand, his hand, holding the dagger tightly, hid it in his sleeve, and walked towards the old man step by step.
When Liu Mo walked to the edge of the field, the old man noticed the situation behind him, he turned around, his dead wood-like hands blocked the dazzling sunlight, squinted his eyes for a moment, and after looking at it for a while, the old man's face was a little annoyed, and he said unhappily: "It's you?" What are you going to do? I'm not going to do anything for you! Come on! Come on!! ”
Liu Mo looked at him quietly, and in his ears, the miserable howl sounded again.
"Why don't you be like them?"
"Huh?"
"You, why don't you be like them..."
"Hehe, why am I telling you?"
"Tell me... Otherwise, I will order Kunliang to be slaughtered..."
Yu Lici was furious, he looked at Liu Mo in front of him, gritted his teeth, and was stunned for a long time, before he said: "Perhaps, it's because I have suffered retribution..."
"Retribution?"
Liu Mo asked rhetorically, holding the dagger in his sleeve with his right hand, his whole body was trembling, seeing his strange appearance, Yu Lici was also a little strange in his heart, he didn't know the purpose of Liu Mo's coming, and even, he had never seen this person before, what did this person want?
Liu Mo raised his head and stared straight into Yu Lixi's eyes.
"Your retribution is not enough."
Yu Lici had a long mouth and couldn't speak, and by the time he reacted, Liu Mo had already left, and he didn't look back.
Liu Mo did not continue to stay in Xiagao County, he returned to the Assassin's Mansion in Shanggao County and met Yuan Shu directly.
Sitting in the study, Yuan Shu hurriedly asked, "Can you get something?" ”
Liu Mo nodded, took out a pile of papers, and placed them on the case, on it, densely filled with people's names, as well as the crimes they committed, the words they said, the items they bribed, etc., these are all the news that Liu Mo has found during this time, Liu Mo trembled, and divided these papers into two sides, and the papers on the right were thickly piled up into a hill.
On the left, there are only three or four pieces of paper.
Yuan Shu knew in his heart that the ones on the right were all extremely evil, and the ones on the left were those who were devoted to the great man.
Suddenly, Yuan Shu was stunned, and in the middle, there was still a piece of paper, which was not divided into two sides.
Liu Mo raised his head, a little dazed, "Yuan Jun..."
"Huh?"
"What if a person has a grudge against you?"
"Kill!"
Yuan Shu said categorically.
"But if you kill him, will it be detrimental to the society and the country? And how? ”
"This..."
Yuan Shu frowned, thought for a long time, and did not answer.
Liu Mo closed his eyes tightly, stepped forward with trembling hands, and pushed the middle paper aside.
Yuan Shu's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Mo.
Liu Mo looked at the case, and tears kept falling.
