Chapter Eighty-Four: A puppet is not as good as a pawn
Mrs. Rong sniffed, regardless of the mess on her face, bowed deeply to Xu Xian, then turned around and got into the carriage, knocked on the carriage, and the coachman raised the horsewhip. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Watching the carriage go away, Xu Xian looked down at Li Moumou, who had been controlled by Jinyiwei.
"Tell me, why?"
"I really don't understand how a person's greed can be so great as to decide to deprive a living life?!" Xu Xian pulled Li Moumou's head with his foot, "Why are you businessmen always thinking about yourself?" ”
Li Moumou was like a deflated ball, no matter what Xu Xian said, he drooped his head, he knew that he would definitely die.
The more Xu Xian thought about it, the more angry he became, he shook his cloak hatefully, and turned around to sit back in his place.
"Sun Hai, how did Da Ming Law judge murder?"
"Death to the murderer."
Xu Xian slapped his face, "I like it!" So be it, let him die with these prey. Hands, after killing, go and raid his house. ”
"Yes!" Sun Hai responded, and then waved his hand, and the two brocade guards who controlled Li Moumou lifted the hair on his neck and pushed it hard.
Li Moumou struggled hard, he didn't expect that he was going to die here, "You don't have the right to do this, I'm going to the Yamen, I'm going to the Yamen!! "Li Moumou is not stupid, he knows that only after entering the yamen, he may still have a trace of life.
Sun Gao embroidered the spring knife, but he didn't think about the execution of Xu Xian's order.
"Xu Baihu, this is not appropriate, no matter what, it has to be handed over to the yamen, after all, it is a criminal case......" Seeing this, Chang An still felt that Xu Xian should be reminded.
Xu Xian refused immediately, what are you kidding, if you hand it over like this, how can I make an example of it?
And if it is handed over to the yamen, in case there is another collusion between officials and businessmen, wouldn't it be a murderer for nothing?!
"Chang Dudu, this person is extremely evil, if he can't be executed now, it will inevitably be repeated!" Xu Xian stretched out his hand to refuse, "Sun Hai, what are you waiting for?!" ”
Things are developing too fast, and the people who were talking and laughing with themselves just now have become fish on the chopping board, slaughtered by others, and this hundreds of households are really too ...... It's horrible.
The businessmen present all felt the cool breeze blowing, Zhuo Tianhao saw that Sun Hai had already raised the embroidered spring knife, he couldn't bear to close his eyes, and said loudly, "Wait a minute!" ”
Zhuo Tianhao stood up and slammed at Xu Xian, "Xu Baihu, the group of businessmen is not only bastards like Li Moumou. ”
Xu Xian waved his hand to let Sun Hai put down the embroidered spring knife, and looked at Zhuo Tianhao curiously, "Oh? Is it? Why didn't I see it? ”
Zhuo Tianhao took a deep breath and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, "Fan Laocai and I each donated 500,000 taels of silver to the imperial court for people's livelihood." ”
"It adds up to only one million taels...... But if the court moves its fingers, it will cost 10 million taels, so don't laugh...... Sun Hai, do it. ”
Hearing this, Zhuo Tianhao looked at Li Moumou, who was constantly struggling and shouting, Sun Hai took a towel and stuffed it into Li Moumou's mouth, so that it was much quieter. 、
The unbearable in Zhuo Tianhao's heart finally broke out, all this is a trap, from the very beginning, every step he did was just for the 10 million taels of silver, Li Moumou was just the chicken that showed the monkey, he shouldn't end up like this.
If he couldn't get together the money, Xu Xian would not hesitate to copy Li Moumou's home, and there were many businessmen's homes, Zhuo Tianhao believed that Xu Xian could do it.
ran forward, stopped Sun Hai, and knelt on the ground, "Xu Baihu, I beg you to give me a stick of incense." ”
Xu Xian looked at Zhuo Tianhao with his head on his back, "Yes, I will only give you a stick of incense, if it doesn't work, you know what I will do." ”
――――――――
Xie En looked at the box handed over by Xu Xian, and flipped through the large number of tickets inside, "More than four million taels, Xu Baihu, you have made a great contribution." ”
Xu Xian knelt under the hall, but his face was very cold, "This credit, my subordinates dare not receive it, and they can't receive it." ”
Hearing this, Xie En closed the box, walked to Xu Xian, helped him up, pulled him to the window, and pointed to the bright moon in the sky, "Xu Xian, under the bright moon, we are all small people." ”
"Father-in-law, but my subordinates think that little people also have dignity, and I think I'm like a fool."
"Who isn't a fool?" Shane looked at Xu Xian, "I know you think you're being toyed with, but it's not a big deal. ”
"Father-in-law Xie, I always thought that I was very capable, and I could play with these officials and businessmen, but now I found out that I am just a clown, just a puppet, everything I do is meaningless, even if I don't do anything, I can still receive these four million taels."
Xu Xian looked at Shane sharply, "Then what is the meaning of my existence?!" ”
Shane patted Xu Xian's shoulder, "Except for that round of bright moon, everyone is a chess piece." ”
"But a puppet is not as good as a chess piece." After Xu Xian finished speaking, he arched his hand to Xie En, "The subordinates have taken their leave." ”
After Xu Xian left, Gonggong Liu walked in with tea, "Father-in-law, Xu Baihu seems to be very lost." ”
Shane sighed, "This hurdle has to be passed by himself, how many people give up halfway because they can't get over the hurdle of being a puppet, I hope he can get through." ”
Xu Xian walked out of Shane's mansion, did not ride a horse, but walked slowly on the street, Xu Xian found that something was wrong, when Zhuo Tianhao took the initiative to hand over the silver.
Xu Xian gave him a stick of incense, but in the blink of an eye, four million taels were handed over, and after later statistics, it was found that everyone paid very evenly and regularly, almost all of them were arranged according to the size of the family property, and the arrangement seemed to be arranged.
It's not like, it's fucking arranged.
I thought I was like a fool, and I thought it was so powerful.
After wandering for a long time, I looked up and saw Bai Suzhen standing at the corner of the street.
The two of them walked together, and Bai Suzhen also knew that Xu Xian was unhappy and didn't speak, so she walked with him like this.
"If I'm nothing, not a hundred households, not a general banner, not a Jinyi guard, or even ......" Xu Xian stopped, "It's not even Xu Xian, will you still walk with me?" ”
Bai Suzhen dodged Xu Xian's gaze, "What are you talking about?" ”
"I mean." Xu Xian grabbed Bai Suzhen, "You are by my side, is it because of me, or because I am Xu Xian." ”
Bai Suzhen didn't speak, this question was the same as Xiaoqing's question, she couldn't answer it.
But Bai Suzhen's non-answer, in Xu Xian's opinion, there was already an answer.
Xu Xian let go of his hand and suddenly smiled, "I originally thought there was no difference, but now it seems that there is actually a big difference." ”
Looking at Bai Suzhen with a smile, "I'm envious," Xu Xian knocked on his chest, "The person in front of you, but if you do a good deed, you will achieve a good story for the ages, but what about me, I have done a lot of good things in myself, but I still have been mediocre all my life." ”
