Li Zicheng judged from the mouth of the house that Gai Hu was in this house, and he had some expectations in his heart, so he stepped forward and asked.

Seeing Li Zicheng's momentum, Fu Ding only thought that it was a high-ranking official of the Ming army, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Wait a minute, the villain will go to Tongyu!" ”

Li Zicheng tapped his chin, and a pro-soldier pulled the trigger, only to hear a "bang", and the fuding who was about to close the door suddenly fell to the ground, and the pro-soldiers rushed up and seized the courtyard gate.

The pro-soldiers entered the house with great dignity, and they had already alarmed the mansion and others in the house, many of whom had already used various equipment, and when they saw the heavily armed cavalry, they immediately wilted.

Someone flew to report Gai Hu, Gai Hu took the Fu Ding, carried the culottes in one hand, trotted over, saw that it was the officers and soldiers, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Forgive the villain's clumsiness, I don't know if the military master is ......."

"Clumsy?" Li Zicheng glanced at Gai Hu, who was beginning to look old, and sneered: "You raise your eyes and see who I am." ”

Gai Hu heard this voice a little familiar, it was estimated that it was an acquaintance, but the person who came was dressed in military uniform, and he was heroic, and he didn't recognize it for a while.

It sounds like a bad mouth, not like a friend, but like a rival!

He has been a servant in Mizhi County for many years, and there will be no fewer people who have offended, and he didn't know who was coming for a while, so he tentatively said: "Who is the military master?" ”

It seems that I have done too many bad things, and I can't remember the people who were trapped! Li Zicheng waved his hand, and immediately several personal soldiers stepped forward and tied up Gaihu.

Gai Hu was shocked, knowing that he couldn't break free, and he didn't dare to struggle, he just shouted wronged, "I don't know who the military master is, maybe it's a misunderstanding, if the villain offends the military master, the villain is willing to apologize and compensate for ......the loss."

"Do you have a lot of silver in the Gai family?" Li Zicheng sneered: "I'm afraid you can't afford to lose!" ”

The military master said with a smile, "Although Gai Hu was bound, he still bowed his waist, perhaps because he was leaning over, "What is wrong with the villain, ask the military master to give him a name to inform the villain!" ”

"I'll tell you who I am, and I won't wronged you." Li Zicheng asked his soldiers to tie up all the men and women in this house, and he sent an order to tie up all the people in Gaihu's original house.

Li Zicheng wanted to punish Gai Hu, originally thought that he would cut it with a knife, and he would kill him, Gai Hu had humiliated him, even if he killed his whole family, it was not too much.

However, the Mandate of Heaven has a law, that is, if you want to kill Gai Hu, you must first pronounce his crime, otherwise you will use lynching.

Li Zicheng asked his soldiers to publicize to the people within a radius of 20 miles, and two days later, Gaihu at Li's station was publicly tried, and anyone among the people who was a victim could complain on the same day, and the Mandate of Heaven Army would enforce the law impartially.

Everything was arranged, and Li Zicheng summoned Gai Hu in a clean small hall.

Gai Hu has always been ignorant, and he doesn't know if the person who came has taken a fancy to his belongings or the original enemy, but since the voice is somewhat familiar, it is very likely that he should be the enemy, and he knows who this enemy is.

Brought to Li Zicheng by his own soldiers, Gai Hu was impressed by Li Zi's compelling momentum, and wanted to kneel down to salute, but forgot that his hands and feet were tied, his waist had just bent down, and he didn't want to be blocked by the rope, his body was crooked, and he suddenly hit his head on the ground.

Gaihu struggled for a long time, unable to get up because his hands and feet were tied, but rolled on the ground like a woman who sprinkled on the ground.

He Xiaomi couldn't help laughing, laughed on the side, and under Li Zicheng's signal, he helped Gai Hu up and stood in front of Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng glanced at Gai Hu with cold eyes, and a disgust arose in his heart, and he said coldly: "Gai Hu, you really don't know the governor of Pontus?" ”

"Governor?" Gai Hu's mind was flying, but he couldn't remember that he was just a servant in the county, relying on being a cronie of the county, and he was a powerful man on the people's heads on weekdays, where was the opportunity to offend the governor?

He Xiaoxiao saw that Gai Hu was at a loss, as if he had taken a drug that had lost his mind, he couldn't help but lose a contemptuous look, and snorted coldly: "Gai Hu, you don't even know the Grand Governor of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and you still claim to be a gentleman of Mizhi?" ”

"The Grand Governor of the Mandate of Heaven?" Gai Hu was taken aback, it turned out to be the leader of the Liukou! It seems that the Gai family was targeted by the rogue, and there was not necessarily any hatred before, and the rogues robbed the wealth, and they never needed any reason.

However, the rogues all went to the town to loot, how could they come to Lijia Station this time? Within a radius of a few miles, there is only one big family in the Gai family, and this rogue governor must be rushing at the property of the Gai family!

Li Zicheng's face gradually formed a layer of frost, "Gaihu, I didn't expect us to meet again!" ”

"Has the villain seen the Grand Duke?" Gai Hu looked at Li Zicheng carefully, and suddenly felt a little familiar, and wondered in his heart, how could he have seen the Metropolitan Governor of the Heavenly Mandate Army, why was he a little kind......

Li Zicheng said coldly: "Gaihu, have you forgotten Li Hongji back then?" ”

"Li Hongji?" Gai Hu's eyes widened immediately, and he remembered that this mighty and spirited Metropolitan Governor seemed to be somewhat similar to Li Hongji's eyebrows, but when he said that Li Hongji was the Metropolitan Governor of the Heavenly Mandate Army, he still couldn't believe it, so he said: "The Metropolitan Governor of the Heavenly Mandate Army, isn't it called Li Zicheng?" ”

"Bold, dare to call the name of the Metropolitan Governor!" He Xiaomi shouted, and his right hand unconsciously pressed the handle of the knife.

Li Zicheng smiled coldly and said, "You're right, Li Zicheng is Li Hongji!" ”

"Ah......" Gai Hu was shocked, in order to avoid leaking his old bottom, Liukou often named himself, like Cao Cao, Eight Great Kings, Zuojin King, etc., are not their real names, could it be that after Li Hongji joined Liukou, he changed his name to Li Zicheng?

Do you have any deep hatred with Li Hongji?

Gai Hu tried his best to think about it in his mind, and suddenly thought of something, and was suddenly stunned, I see! Li Zicheng must have come to take revenge, and it seems that his death time has come......

"Gaihu, do you finally know who I am?" Li Zicheng smiled indifferently, "Bad things are never done, they always have to be returned, I am not far away, and when I return to Lijia Station, I want to eliminate evil for Lijia Station!" ”

"One person does things and one person is responsible, the Metropolitan Governor wants to kill me, I have nothing to say," when the matter came, Gai Hu straightened his body instead, "I just ask the Metropolitan Governor to let my family go!" ”

"It's a bit arrogant!" Li Zicheng stood up and took two steps towards Gai Hu's side, and the two were almost face to face, "But you are wrong, you have done a lot of evil, and your family members have not followed you?" When you occupy other people's land and family wealth, don't your family members enjoy it? They did not stop you from doing evil, and they enjoyed the fruits of your evil, and like you, they also have to pay it back," after a pause, he said: "With a family head like you, there must be many wicked people in your family, and it is also a curse to keep them." ”

Gai Hu thought that Li Zicheng had already captured all the people in this house just now, including the servants, and it was suddenly cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, but he still struggled and said: "Is there not one or two good people in my family?" ”

"Don't worry, the governor of Pontus will not execute you in private," Li Zicheng smiled lightly: "It is the people around you who will judge you!" ”

Li Zicheng came out of the small hall and reported to the soldiers: all the personnel in the house were tied up, but two prisoners were found in the house!

"How can there be prisoners in the Gai family? Could it be that the Gai family abused lynching and harmed the people around them? Li Zicheng frowned lightly and said, "Bring the two of them over!" ”

After a while, the soldiers brought two people with big ties, Li Zicheng glanced at it, the person in front was about thirty, with an average figure, but his eyes were full of aura, and the person behind was only in his early twenties, with a relatively tall figure and a very strong body.

"Who are you? To tell the truth, maybe I can let you go! ”

The person in front of the "villain ......" observed Li Zicheng's face, and saw that Li Zicheng's face had a heroic aura, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The villain's name is Dang Shousu, he is a native of Xi'an Prefecture, and he was originally a scholar, but because his hometown was affected by the disaster, he really couldn't, so he came to the north to sell some illicit salt ......."

Li Zicheng understands that in the last days of the dynasty, the people are not happy, and some people who are active often take risks to seek wealth, they may not be big thieves at first, but forced by life, "In order to survive, selling illicit salt is not a big deal, why was it tied up by the Gai family?" ”

"Naturally, it collided with the Gai family......"

Li Zicheng was puzzled: "Does the Gai family also sell illicit salt?" ”

"That's not true," Dang Shousu saw that Li Zicheng didn't blame, and relaxed a little, "However, everyone who passes by the land of the Gai family has to hand over the silver, and the villain is a small business, and he can't afford to pay the silver, so he was tied up by the people of the Gai family......"

Li Zicheng smiled secretly, it turned out that the Gai family collected protection money along the way, and I don't know if it was colluded with the government, "If you weren't saved by us, what did the Gai family plan to do with you?" ”

"According to the rules of the Gai family, if you make up the silver, as long as you confiscate 30% of the payment, you can release the person," Dang Shousu shook his head and sighed: "The villain has no silver, and if he stays in the Gai family, he can only wait to be executed......

"Forced the scholars to sell illicit salt, and almost lost their lives, heaven and earth are unkind!" Li Zicheng sighed lightly: "Follow the governor of Pontus, the governor of Pontus guarantees that you and your family can eat enough!" ”

Dang Shousu didn't ask much, thought for a moment, and said with his eyebrows: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, with all things as dogs, the people have long lost their way to live, no matter what you do, as long as you can feed the villain's family, the villain will follow the military master!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded, asked He Xiaomi to loosen the ties of Dang Shousu, take him down for a full meal first, and then said to the big man in the back: "Who are you?" And what does it do? ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the villain's name is Wang Jincai, but he is a tenant of the old man, and because he can't pay the rent, he was kidnapped by the old man!"

"Oh?" Li Zicheng smiled lightly: "If you owe rent, what punishment will there be?" It won't be deadly, will it? ”

"This ...... The villain doesn't know," Wang Jincai said angrily: "However, if the villain is taken over by the old man, he can only wait for death!" ”

Li Zicheng thought of the soldiers who stayed in Xi'an for training, so he had a plan to recruit Wang Jincai, "What about you?" Would you like to follow Pontus? ”

"As long as the villain can be fed, the villain will follow the military master," Wang Jincai added: "The villain has a lot of food......"

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll have a full meal!" ”
