Most of the month has passed, Li Cheng and his son did not suffer much in the lime field, with Han De, the county lieutenant, taking care of them, and no one from the officials and guards of the lime field came to make things difficult for the two fathers and sons, that is, they did some fine work of weaving straw baskets here, and the hard work of carrying and stirring up the barricades was usually done by the poorest poor and prisoners from other places.

This dynasty also does not pay much attention to military flow, the military flow is at least hundreds of thousands of miles, it is difficult for prisoners to return to their hometowns once they go, it is too cruel, and the cost of military flow is too high, ordinary health centers do not need military prisoners, and the distance between the nine border towns is too far, so the prisoners who change the military flow serve in various local government-run institutions, the time ranges from one month to two years, and the maximum sentence is two years.

Sentences of more than two years are generally felons, either beheaded or hanged.

From this point of view, Da Wei was a prisoner who was not sentenced to more than ten years or life imprisonment, and those who committed this kind of crime were basically on the gallows, and the opportunity to stab the military was rarely given.

In the evening, Li Cheng and Li Fu handed over the woven straw basket to the little officials, and after they finished their day's work, they could go to their sheds to rest.

Both of them are tired and half dead, no matter how light the work is, it depends on the person, their father and son say that they are slaves of the Hou Mansion, in fact, they have a manor, a mansion, and also use servants, Li Fu began to soar soon after Li Cheng came out, Li Fu said to be honest is also a son and brother to raise, how have they suffered so much.

The shack of the two is also a large one, surrounded by lime powder and all kinds of dust, garbage is not far away, sewage is flowing sideways, and large flies are flying around.

Not far away is the canteen, where cabbage leaves are boiled with multigrain vegetable dumplings every day, and you can't eat enough and don't starve to death.

The father and son took a pot of vegetable soup and ate vegetable dumplings with pickles, although Li Cheng was rich, he couldn't openly open a small stove here, Han De's care was limited to not letting people bully Li Cheng's father and son, and giving him light work, more care was unlikely, it was too much, and Han De couldn't explain it in the county.

Li Cheng was sitting on the ground eating, when a pair of boots suddenly appeared in front of him.

When he looked up, the look of dissatisfaction and resentment on his face disappeared without a trace.

"Second master, it turns out that you are old." Li Cheng got up, lay on the ground and quickly kowtowed, regardless of how dirty the ground in front of him was.

When Li Cheng kowtowed, Li Fu also quickly knelt down, trembling, and didn't dare to raise his head at all.

"I didn't expect Lao Tzu to come here?"

The person known as the "second master" has a full face, a beard all over his face, a thick black beard from sideburns to chin, his eyes seem to be yellow, full of anger, and his physique is tall and strong.

This person is Chen Yuyong, the second leader of the Qishan thieves, he is squatting on the ground, and there are more than ten men standing around him, all of whom are pressed on his chest or waist with one hand, as if he is hiding a murder weapon on his body.

In fact, this is also the case, there are only about 2,000 Qishan bandits, all of whom are good men on land and sea, this group of bandits has been entrenched on the island for many years, and has participated in the plundering and killing of large groups of pirates many times, almost everyone has multiple lives in their hands, and the murderous aura on their bodies is not for no reason.

The second master gently patted Li Cheng's cheek, as if he was fiddling with something funny, and the smile on his face was like a child, and even a little innocent and cute.

Li Cheng didn't dare to dodge at all, although the other party's hand was getting heavier and heavier, and the big hand like sandpaper kept slapping his face, he didn't dare to dodge at all.

Chen Yuyong once burned several villages in Fuzhou, tied up all the men in each village and tortured them, or buried them alive, or lit sky lanterns, or put them in sacks and sank into the sea.

Ordinary people always have a reason to kill people, either because of hatred, or because they want to kill people so that bystanders dare not resist, or because of love, or because of various reasons, Chen Yuyong kills people for no reason, just because he likes it, he likes to watch people die, screaming and wailing, and begging for mercy in all kinds of languages, even if it is killing women, old people, children, it can also make him get a different kind of fun.

Such a murderer, how could Li Cheng dare to provoke him, even if this person had a little murderous intent, his father and son were both dead today, and in the current situation, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu could not save them.

Chen Yuyong slapped Li Cheng unhurriedly, after a few rounds of beating, Li Cheng's face was soon more swollen than a pig's head, his nose, ears and eyes were bleeding, and his skin was oozing blood. ”

"The villain is not compatible with the son of the world, and it ruins the big thing of the uncle and the second master."

"So you know." Chen Yuyong said: "Lao Tzu used you and took the benefits of your offering, but if there was no Lao Tzu to support you, how could those who eat Jianghu rice in Nan'anze Town and Shuikou Town tolerate you, and those who do business, why do they want to use your people, and why do they want to pay high wages?" Without Lao Tzu, you can fucking run rampant until now? There is nothing wrong with you fighting fiercely with the prince of the Hou Mansion, but the most wrong thing is not to discuss with us, and you will lose the fight. If I didn't want to use you, Lao Tzu's urinal tonight would be the head of your father and son, damn it. ”

Chen Yuyong was very angry, slapped Li Cheng a few more times, and then said: "Now that you are locked up, our shipping routes are all broken, go directly to Fuzhou, there are many checkpoints, and the spot check is strict, so you can only take a detour." If you cut off here, where will our goods be shipped to? ”

In the questioning, Chen Yuyong's whipping also did not stop, and the angry shouts and crackling slapping sound alarmed many people, but the people in the lime field pursued the way of thinking that more things are better than less things, although many people looked over here, but saw that there were a few big men in the way, and people also snuffed out their curiosity, and no one came to see what happened.

"Second master rest assured......" Li Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood and saliva, and said fiercely: "When the villain comes out, he will definitely solve this matter, and he will not make the uncle and the second master worry about this matter." ”

Chen Yuyong sneered: "How do you solve it?" ”

"The villain always knows some friends in the rivers and lakes, and the prince wants the income of the official village and the hidden household, and there is no room for talking about this matter. You can only kill the son, as long as you kill the son, this matter will be over. ”

"Can the government not check?"

"This can only be in the name of the uncle, Qishan thieves came to attack, the Hou Mansion was captured, and the jade was burned, since the villain is not a servant in charge of the affairs of the official village, of course this matter has nothing to do with the villain. In the future, the villain will be hidden in Zhuangzi, and he can still ship for the uncle and the second master, and this line cannot be broken. ”

Li Cheng is also desperately trying to persuade Chen Yuyong, the killer in front of him, as long as he feels that Li Cheng is useless, the lives of the father and son are really in an instant.

These Qishan thieves were originally ruthless characters who killed people and crossed goods, and even the court officials had killed I don't know how many, killing Li Cheng's father and son was really not much different from slaughtering a chicken.

"Old boy, you think well." Chen Yuyong gently patted Li Cheng's swollen face, with a playful smile on his face.

"Your friends in the rivers and lakes are good at taking advantage of the people and bullying the people, if you really ask them to assassinate the prince of the Hou Mansion, see if you can call out someone."

Li Cheng was stunned for a while, and after thinking about it, it was indeed the case, those scoundrels who were in the rivers and lakes bullied the good and the good were more powerful than pirates, and asked them to kill people and set fires, but they really didn't have the courage.

"That's it." Chen Yuyong stood up, looked at Li Cheng and said: "Forcibly getting you out, it will cause people to be alert, but it is not good, there are still ten days of hard work, you are here and stay up, wait for you to come out, and your son will come to the island to lead the way, we will help to kill the prince of Nan'an." ”

When Chen Yuyong said this, he didn't have much expression on his face, and he didn't seem to take this little thing to heart, and his attitude was quite calm, but the people around him knew that the more Chen Erye was like this, the more determined he was to kill.

"Second master, don't worry." Li Cheng lay on the ground and said: "The lives of my father and son are the uncle's and second's, and the villain must help the island in this matter, and it will be clear and beautiful." ”

"Okay, you have to remember your own words."

Chen Yuyong didn't say anything more, and walked out. His pace was unhurried, but extremely fast, and he was out of the lime field almost in a short time.

Li Cheng looked up after a long time, saw Chen Yuyong's back far away, and saw that the pirate leader had a well-proportioned pace, and his body was full of a sense of strength, he knew that Chen Yuyong was a ruthless character in the Qishan pirates, and his martial arts were clever, especially at sea, he could almost defeat one against a hundred, and no one could catch this Chen Second Master in the water, and Chen Yuyong's ability on land was slightly inferior, but it was not an ordinary person who could defeat him.

After half a ring, Li Fu said timidly: "Dad, do I really want to go to the island?" ”

"Well, you went, there was danger. If I don't go, my father and son will die. ”

Li Fu whispered: "Dad, how about we take out the silver cake hidden in the trading house, and the whole family runs for their lives together?" ”

"Qishan thieves have eyeliner in all states of Fujian Road, all the way to Zhejiang, Jingnan, Liangguang, and all over the place have their people. Our identity can't be known to the government, as long as it is discovered, it will be a dead word......"

"Besides......" Li Cheng sneered, "Do you think the Pu Firm can ask us to take out the silver?" ”

"Aren't they usually polite to us?"

"That's usual, idiot." Li Cheng roared in a low voice, a fierce light appeared in his eyes, he grabbed his son's collar and scolded in a low voice: "Listen, if you are told to go, I will go, and if I don't go, I will kill you now." Lao Tzu should not have given birth to your son, and in the future he will have money to buy a few more concubines, and if he doesn't believe that he can't give birth to a son. This is the case, our father and son can still be safe and rich, if you don't get it, floating corpses often float out in the Minjiang River, and there will definitely be the bodies of our father and son floating up in the future! ”

Li Fu was scared half to death, and then he knew that his father and Second Master Chen's words were serious, the prince wanted to cut off the wealth of the Qishan thieves, and his father wanted to save his life, it seems that he really wanted to assassinate the prince, this is the dignified future marquis, a serious dynasty clan.

Seeing Li Fu's trembling appearance, Li Cheng smiled coldly and said: "There are hundreds of clans in Fuzhou City alone, and there are twenty or thirty marquises, in terms of identity, they are not much more noble than Zhixian. The prince of this dynasty is from the first rank, the country is just from the second grade, and the marquis is from the second grade, which seems to be equivalent to the level of the pacification envoy, but in fact has no real power. If you want to have power, you need to take the exam to be an official, and once you are an official, you will be in the style of officialdom, and you can't talk about the title. The prince has not yet taken the throne, even if it is the marquis of Nan'an, the marquis of Nan'an is the weakest family among the princes, who will really care about his life or death? Besides, the Qishan thieves and the five pirates at sea have all been killed by the prefect of Zhizhou, what is a prince of the Hou Mansion. Don't worry, I still point to you to give me a pension, and I won't take your life to die in vain! ”
