Chapter 20: Who Am I (2)
"Ahh "Alas!" There was a sudden chaos outside, and Wu Zhi's long sword waved, slashed over the Zhuang Ke guarding the door, and jumped into the courtyard.
The courtyard was already in chaos, and several teams of black-clothed men were fighting with Yuexi Zhuangke, and when they saw Wu Zhi coming out, the black-clothed people were all in high spirits, and shouted in unison, forcing Yuexi Zhuang Zhuangke to retreat and rushing to Wu Zhi's side.
Wu Zhi looked at Luda and Wang Jin beside him, and said with a smile: "Received the news?" He threw a pebble as a signal, indicating that the thing was in hand and that he should come and answer it. The dark pile waiting outside Fang's mansion would naturally rush to inform Wang Jin, but this operation was dangerous, and Wu Zhi had already told Wang Jin not to inform Qiqiao and Xuanjing.
Fang La applauded lightly and said with a smile: "The heroes of the north are really courageous, and they have the courage to break into Yuexizhuang, good!" Good! Good! ”
At this time, the good hands of Yuexizhuang arrived one after another and surrounded Wu Zhi and his party. Fang San looked at Wu Zhi wearing a mask, his body was in a stiff state, that Mu Wu who drank and bragged with him every day was the Murder Demon King? Is it a corpse crusher? Fang San's head was in chaos, his body couldn't move, it was the subordinate next to him who forcibly lifted him up and hid.
Wu Zhi glanced around and said indifferently: "Yuexizhuang is not a Longtan tiger's den, and the owner of Fang Zhuang thinks too highly of himself. ”
Fang La was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Yuexizhuang is indeed not called the Longtan Tiger's Den, but for the sake of a fake account, it is a pity to take the lives of so many good men." ”
Wu Zhi was stunned, looked at Fang La, and didn't know if what he said was true or false for a while. Fang La sighed and said, "If you don't believe it, turn to the back and look at the amount of money." ”
Wu Zhi shook his head. "Don't look at it! ”
Fang Laqi said: "Why do you believe it? ”
Wu Zhi said: "In your eyes, we can't escape if you want to, so why should you deceive the dead." ”
Fang La smiled: "That's not necessarily, maybe I'm hitting your morale?" ”
Wu Zhi said: "Then I don't have to think about the truth or falsehood, it's just a matter of confusion, Master Fang, are you right?" ”
Fang La nodded approvingly and said, "If you hadn't killed many of my brothers. Fang really intends to accept you as an arm. ”
Before Wu Zhi could speak, Ruda next to him was already impatient to listen. "Phew" and said: "Just like your bird, you are also worthy of being my master's boss?" Come on, come on, sprinkle the family to try your catties first! As he spoke, he wanted to jump out, but Wang Jin grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Don't spoil the big thing!" Only then did Ruda indignantly slam the Zen staff on the ground, "hum" and stop speaking.
Fang La looked at the cracks in the tunnel of the bluestone floor under the Luda Zen staff, and his eyes lit up again. I've had a lot of good hands these days, and if I can take these people under my command, it's really like a tiger with wings. However, when he turned his head and saw Deng Yuanjue with a resentful face, he sighed in his heart, even if these people were willing to surrender, he couldn't accept it, otherwise it would only chill his brothers in the village.
Deng Yuanjue stared at Wu Zhi and them for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked Fang Ladao, "Brother Fang, is the account of the Buddha Hall true or false?" ”
Fang La nodded. Knowing that you can't fool the great monk, it's better to tell the truth. How can I really rest assured that such an important account will be placed in the Buddha hall?
Deng Yuanjue sighed, shook his head and stopped talking.
Fang La said: "That account is really important, brother, don't blame me for hiding it." ”
Deng Yuanjue nodded and said, "Little brother will take care of it." In his heart, he was awe-inspiring, thinking that he was already the most trusted person in Fang La. He will discuss anything in Zhuangzi with himself, and now it seems that he still has many secrets that he does not know.
The two sides fought each other tensely, but no one would make the first move, and they were deadlocked there.
Fang La looked at Wu Zhi and suddenly smiled: "Actually, you still have a glimmer of life, but it's a pity!" If you miss something, you can never turn back if you go wrong once. ”
Wu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, from the day you killed my brother." There's no turning back! ”
Fang La listened to his categorical words. I was inexplicably overwhelmed. At this time, countless sergeants suddenly poured in from outside, surrounding the opposing sides. Then two officials walked in, Fang La put away his uneasiness, greeted him, and said with a smile: "Mention the lord, Lord Zhizhou, finally waited for the two of you, two adults look at how arrogant these Jiangyang thieves are, they will come to rob and kill people in the blue sky and daylight!" "He had a plan after the black-clothed man entered the Fang Mansion, using the power of the official family to get rid of these people, saving himself from losing manpower, these days of fighting, he knew that this group of opponents was very powerful, and he didn't know how many subordinates he would lose if he wanted to kill them. He immediately sent someone to inform Du Tidian, and Du Tidian would naturally urge Li Zhizhou to dispatch the Xiang Army.
The villagers of Yuexizhuang retreated one after another, and the sergeants surrounded the Wuzhi people.
Du Ti looked at Wu Zhi and his party, and said angrily: "Bold Diao Min, don't hurry up and put down your weapons!" ”
Fang La whispered: "It's better to get rid of it!" Du Ti hesitated slightly, this is dozens of lives, and it seems inappropriate to say that he will be killed.
Wu Zhi suddenly laughed and said, "What, do you want to kill people?" I have a respectful account here for all the adults! ”
Du Ti was stunned for a moment, his face immediately looked ugly, and he looked at Fang La dissatisfied, and said in his heart You don't know how to go to the Tao, these filial piety still have to set up accounts. Li Zhizhou also had a bad complexion, and glanced at Fang La a few times.
Although Fang La was embarrassed, but these were all minor problems, and he would explain it later, but he didn't think that the opponent was looking for his own death, and said softly: "Yes, he took our accounts, or ......" said and gestured.
Du Ti nodded slightly, Li Zhizhou snorted, and shouted: "Kill these stubborn thieves with me!" At this time, I suddenly heard a noise outside, and then the sergeant guarding the door stumbled in and said, "My lord, Lin Jingxiao arrived with a large group of people outside!" ”
Du Tidian and Li Zhizhou were stunned, Du Tidian turned his head and asked Fang La: "Did you inform Di Lin Jingluo?" ”
Fang La shook his head blankly. I vaguely felt that something was wrong.
The gate of Fangfu was slammed open, and a group of soldiers of the forbidden army with bright armor strode in, forcing the crowd army to the side. Then Lin Jing walked in slowly.
Du Tidian and Li Zhizhou hurriedly greeted them, and after a while of greetings, Du Tidian couldn't help but ask: "Did Lord Jingluo also come to Fangfu to arrest Jiang Yang thieves?" ”
Lin Jing said in his heart that I caught a fart Jiangyang thief, and the two of you didn't know about the big disaster, sighed and didn't speak, and said in his heart that it would be better to see how your king sings.
Wu Zhi suddenly smiled and said, "Lin Jingluo is here to take over." Bandits are rampant in Jiangnan, and illegal goods are repeatedly banned. And the mastermind behind the scenes is Yuexizhuang, that is, the Fang family, the Fang family colluded with officials on the two Zhejiang roads to smuggle goods, and the evidence is conclusive. As he spoke, he took out the fake account from his bosom and said, "This is the account of the Fang family and the officials of the two Zhejiangs. ”
Du Tidian, Li Zhizhou and Fang La's complexions changed drastically. Du Tidian and Li Zhizhou were dumbfounded, looking at Lin Jingluo, they never thought that Lin Jingluo would send someone to infiltrate the Fang family and deal with the Fang family. Fang La stammered: "Lord Jingluo, I also send you filial piety every year, how can you ......?"
Lin Jingluo glared at him and shouted: "Master Fang, don't talk nonsense, when has this official eaten your filial piety!" "The heart said that your king had promised me a long time ago to open up to me. Originally, I thought that your king Chitose would talk about it casually. Unexpectedly, now that I have really got the accounts, Jiangnan is afraid that there will be a major earthquake now, but fortunately I am not on the wrong team.
Fang La suddenly came to his senses, remembered the crux of the problem, and shouted loudly: "The three adults don't have to believe him, he doesn't have any accounts in his hands at all!" Du Tidian and Li Zhizhou looked at each other suspiciously. It was difficult to make a choice for a while, that is, I didn't know why Lin Jingluo took action against the Fang family, and I didn't know who to believe. How should I react, if this account is fake, the two of them will naturally have to protect Fang La, after all, the three of them are grasshoppers on the same line, Fang La collapses, and the two of them will not be better. But if the account is true, if the two of them protect Fang La, the sin will be increased by one degree. But if not. With that account book, I still can't get out of it.
The two looked at each other. I still have to keep Fang La. Du Tidian first smiled and said: "Lin Jingluo, which is this singing, it seems that there is a suspicion of disturbing the people." He is at the same level as the envoy of the economic strategy, that is, he has made up his mind to protect Fang La, and he is no longer so polite, but he has the responsibility of supervising the envoy of the economic strategy, and he first buttoned Lin Jingluo the big hat of "private soldiers disturbing the people". Li Zhizhou was one level lower than the two, and he didn't dare to question Lin Jingluo blatantly, but he also nodded in agreement.
Lin Jingluo had a big backer behind him at this time, full of courage, and when he heard Du Tidian's words, there was a threat in his words, and he "hummed" and said: "Du Tidian!" Li Zhizhou! Don't talk nonsense! This official acts impartially! If you two obstruct it again, don't blame the official for the two of you! ”
Du Ti was almost angry with him, and said in his heart, "What power do you have to punish me?" How do you put on a shelf of the king of heaven? Flicked his sleeves and said, "Lin Jing is a little cautious!" If this matter is in trouble, I'm afraid it's not appropriate! ”
Lin Jing rolled his eyes slightly, and said disdainfully: "Du Tidian should be cautious, you must know that trouble comes from the mouth!" As he spoke, he shouted, "Someone! Give me the Fang family and the rest of the people! ”
Du Ti saw that Lin Jingluo was so faceless, his face turned red, and he stood in front of the sergeant, and said angrily: "Lin Jingluo, you are too reckless!" Local and local affairs are handled by Li Zhizhou, and Lin Jingluo should not overstep his responsibilities! ”
Wu Zhi smiled: "Du Tidian, Li Zhizhou, it seems that you don't believe the evidence I said!" ”
Du Ti nodded and said, "The Fang family has an outstanding reputation in Jiangnan, and they are kind and charitable, how can you slander it." A fake account of how to make a voucher. ”
Wu Zhi let out an "oh", gently took off the mask, and said lightly: "What if this king said that this account is true?" ”
Lin Jingluo heard that Wu Zhi confessed his identity, and hurriedly went over to salute, and said: "I have seen your king Chitose, the lower official is one step late, tired of the noble king Chitose is in a dangerous place, he is humiliated by Xiaoxiao, and the lower official is afraid!" ”
Wu Zhi smiled: "Lin Jingluo doesn't have to be polite. ”
Du Tidian and Li Zhizhou's hearts stopped beating, your king, how can it be your king? No wonder Lin Jingluo is so domineering today, it turns out that he unknowingly climbed the towering tree of your king. Du Ti remembered that he had just yelled at the king, and the base of his neck was cold, and he turned his head to look at Li Zhizhou, who also remembered that he had ordered to kill the king, and his legs and stomach turned slightly. The two stared at each other and looked at each other speechlessly.
Although the soldiers of the forbidden army could not come to pay their respects, everyone looked at Wu Zhi with fanatical eyes, which soldier did not worship the fierce general, especially in this era when civilian officials controlled military power. Bloody on the battlefield, they are more eager to have their own spiritual support, and Wu Zhi is gradually playing this role.
Fang Laxin sank to the bottom. I never thought that it would be your king who has been dealing with me, and I am afraid that today I am really in a catastrophe.
Wu Zhi turned to Du Ti and the two. He said, "The king said that this account is true, what do you two think?" He sighed again and said: "After today's incident, the two of you will automatically resign, and this king will not do much to investigate." ”
After listening to Wu Zhi's words, Du Tidian and Li Zhizhou's eyes lit up, and the king just meant to take the official position of the two of them, and he would not investigate it to the end. raided the two of them and used them as an army. If the two of them don't know the choice at this time, they have been in the officialdom for many years. If Wu Zhi didn't guarantee it like this, the two of them were sure that this account was true or false, and they might try their best to protect Fang La in order not to lose their officials, but now that the king has given him the opportunity to return to his hometown and live a rich life, how can the two help Fang La again? If the account is true, the two of them will not be as simple as losing their officials. Besides, even if it's fake, Fang La was saved today. That is also a great offense to the king, and the two of them will be quite sad in the future.
Du Ti nodded first and said: "Your king Chitose is wise and brave, went deep into the tiger's den, and found out that the Fang family turned out to be a bandit who was a smuggler of contraband, and the lower officials admired it to the extreme!" Li Zhizhou hurriedly agreed, and the two of them changed their mouths. has already said that Fang La is a heinous and heinous bandit.
Fang La's thoughts were discouraged and silent. Today is completely planted, the real account is on the body, people will know when they check, if it is not so, they can still reason with him. But now there is no backer, as long as people search their homes, the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied.
Wu Zhi looked at him. said: "The mechanism is exhausted." If you don't count one thing, that's who I am. With this identity, some things are fake and real......"
Fang La sighed and said, "Your king is in turmoil in the northwest, and no one in the world knows about it!" Fang Mou was planted in the hands of your king, but he was not wronged, it was better than losing to some villains who saw the wind and steered the rudder. As he spoke, he glanced at Du Tidian and Li Zhizhou a few times, and the two of them were ridiculed by Fang La, and they both turned their heads in embarrassment. Fang La said again: "It's just that I don't think I have offended your king, I don't know why your king spent so much effort, and he was willing to be a member of the Fang family, just to deal with Fang, Fang was puzzled." ”
Wu Zhi naturally won't say that because you are likely to seize half of the rivers and mountains south of the Great Song River in the future, and I also need your smuggling network, in addition to luring out your backers, the reason for the undercover is to get your huge smuggling network. It's a pity that what I got turned out to be fake. It's even more because I've had a long career in the underworld before, and my recent comfortable days have made my body uncomfortable, so I'm looking for some excitement.
Wu Zhi shook his head and waved his hand. The soldiers of the forbidden army shouted, and the spears and broadswords in their hands were raised, and they were about to rush forward.
"Wait a minute!" With a clear drink, a white figure blocked in front of Fang La, Jin Zhi's white clothes were like snow, and the long sword in his hand was across the pink neck.
Jin Zhi looked at Wu Zhi in a daze, which one was the real him, the smiling and amiable Mu Wu? Is it the domineering Great Demon King, or the indifferent King now?
"I said that I would repay your kindness when the Fang family collapsed, I would leave a trace of blood for the Fang family, and your brother would put him under house arrest and marry a wife and have children for him. ”
Listening to Wu Zhi's cold words, Jin Zhi smiled sadly and said, "King Xie Gui is a thousand years old, but the Fang family's disaster today was caused by Jin Zhi, and today Jin Zhi will follow his father in Jiuquan!" As he spoke, he exerted a slight force on his hand, and a trace of blood slowly dripped down the blade of the sword.
Wu Zhi sighed and said, "You still like to know the results of all bets?" ”
Jin Zhi nodded slightly, as the blood on her neck flowed faster and faster as she moved. Fang La's heart ached when she watched from the sidelines, and she reached out to snatch her long sword, but Jin Zhi flashed aside, and the wound became deeper and deeper under this movement. Fang La didn't dare to move, and said angrily: "Jin Zhi! What is the use of being a father who escapes his life today! ”
Jin Zhi turned his head to look at Wu Zhi, the expression on his face gradually changed from sadness to determination, and smiled: "It seems that I ...... bet and lose."
Wu Zhi sighed in his heart, and without waiting for her to finish, he waved his hand violently and said, "Let the Fang family's father and daughter leave!" ”
A hint of gleam flashed in Jin Zhi's eyes, and he said softly: "You can't be a hero after all, thank you, Mu Wu, finally let me win a bet......"
Wu Zhi said: "Some bets can only be placed once. ”
Jin Zhi was gloomy, nodded slightly, and said, "Jin Zhi understands." ”
Lin Jing saw that Wu Zhi really wanted to let Fang La leave, so he was in a hurry, and walked over and said: "Your king, let the tiger return to the mountain, there will be endless troubles!" ”
Wu Zhi said indifferently: "It's okay! ”
Wang Jin "hummed" on the side and said: "If he is a tiger, Chitose is a hero who fights tigers!" If he is a dragon, Chitose is a warrior who descends the dragon! ”
Luda also grinned: "That girl is a good person, it's a pity to die here, next time I will find a chance to kill this fight!" ”
Lin Jingluo listened to the two singing and harmonizing, and rolled his eyes, but thinking about it, how could your king care about these recklessness, especially after today, Fang Mansion was raided, Fang La is a toothless tiger, and the states and counties will be wanted again, and he will be arrested sooner or later. It's just that it seems that this woman and your king are a little ****, so be careful not to hurt her.
When Fang La helped Jin Zhi to Wu Zhi's side, he stopped, took out a silk booklet from his arms, and said to Wu Zhi: "Here are the accounts with the government and the buyers of the Fang family's various businesses, and overseas barbarians are also among them. ”
Wu Zhi took the booklet and said, "Three days!" ”
Fang La nodded, Jin Zhi glanced at Wu Zhi deeply, turned around and walked out with his father.
Luda touched his bald head and said strangely: "Why do you want to hand over things here, what do you mean by three days, master?" ”
Wu Zhi smiled: "Buddha Yun, don't say it!" ”
Luda turned his head to look at Wang Jin for help, and Wang Jin said in a low voice: "This guy is very cunning, knowing that if he doesn't hand over his things and can't find the accounts after checking the Fang Mansion for a while, he will immediately ride out of the iron horse, how can he have a place to hide." Your king Chitose gave him three days for the sake of his voluntary handover, and then began to search for him after three days. ”
Luda suddenly sighed: "There are so many ways in this guy." ”
Deng Yuanjue, who had been silent, suddenly fell to the ground and said: "Your king is a thousand years old, the villain is willing to share worries for your king a thousand years old!" ”
Wu Zhi smiled and said, "How do you relieve the worries of this king?" ”
Deng Yuanjue said: "All the villains in Yuexizhuang know that as long as your king is willing to use villains, within half a month, he will call the Jiangnan Salt Dealer Gang to be captured."
