Chapter 176: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
After wandering around for most of the day, Tang Liu couldn't help but get tired, and was about to find a place to squint for a while, but suddenly found Li Mao and the four of them, seeing that the four of them were not poor and couldn't afford to sit on the boat, they ran to this wilderness to swim and cross the river, there must be a reason. Tang Liu was ecstatic in his heart, God had the eyes to give such a big four gold bricks, thinking of those thousands of rewards, he naturally would not be interested in the small money bag in Qing Mo's hand.
But it is precisely because of this negligence that Li Mao became suspicious, the world is difficult, it is understandable that a fisherman who wants to make a few small bucks, how can a person who wants to make money not be interested in money, this boatman does not bargain, and the second is indifferent to the noisy money, but what is the reason? Li Mao took the opportunity to observe his palm and concluded that this person often dealt with knives and guns, so he tried to test it, and this time there was a problem. This man is not only good at kung fu, but also very good at kung fu, and when he encounters an opponent, he runs away, and he seems to be weak-hearted, this person must have a problem.
Wen Cheng's judgment Li Mao agrees, seawater is different from freshwater, and the soles of the feet that are often soaked in seawater are different.
Qing Mo pulled out a sharp knife and slashed at the root of Tang Liu's thigh, blood gushing out, this was the interrogation method Qing Mo learned from the copper tiger head.
"Who sent you? Don't say, hmph, then you just wait for the blood to run out. ”
"I said, I said all, the reward above said that there were a few ideas from the east, I was poor, I was moved, and I and a dozen brothers laid a net here." Few people can be indifferent to the bleeding on their bodies.
"Who's up there, from your camp or from outside?"
"This ...... Hey...... I don't dare to say it, it's a rule of trade, and if you say it, you'll die. ”
"Don't say it, okay, you're really righteous."
Qingmo smiled and looked at the bloody thighs, Tang Liu was also looking, his face was sallow.
"I have said it all, I beg you, blood...... Alas, my blood. ”
"What did you say, why didn't I understand anything, you are afraid that you will break the rules and die, so don't say anything."
"**** your uncle, are you human, okay, I said, I said it all, please stop the bleeding."
"What are you talking about, who are you going to?" Qingmo put his hand behind his ear so that he could hear more clearly.
"**** My own, ****! ****! I beg you to stop the bleeding! Tang Liu gritted his teeth, his swollen face flushed.
Since he has done a bad seed, Tang Liu simply went to the end, came to a question and answer, and explained everything he knew. It's no secret that the tooth sergeants do private work to make extra money, this is a huge chain of interests, and the water is too deep. Li Mao's current opponent is Li Fang and his battalion and field department, and he didn't want to make any more trouble, so he said to Tang Liu: "We are the Marquis of Yu in the army, and we were ordered to go out to investigate the case, and someone wants to kill us halfway, this is a rebellion, do you understand?" Tang Liu swallowed and didn't say a word.
Li Mao gave Qingmo a look, Qingmo took out a porcelain bottle from his luggage and gave it to Tang Liu, and said with a smile: "Take it easy at night, break away when you are strong, but don't care about me." "Piercing the blood vessels in the thighs and causing blood to flow out, on the surface it looks very terrifying, but it is not fatal, as long as it is treated in time, the damage is not great.
Qingmo said again: "It seems that you have also been used, just send us across the river, this matter is not to blame." ”
Tang Liu said in a stiff voice: "I have an arrow wound on my back, and my leg is broken again, so I can't row the boat." If you want to cross the river, you will row it yourself! Qingmo sighed and said: "Hinder our case, you deserve to be in prison, and if you can't eat for eight years, you will be sent for two years." Now that we are giving you a chance to make meritorious contributions, you are still speaking ill of you, believe it or not, I will arrest you now? Tang Liu swallowed a sigh, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "You hurt me next to the root of my life, how dare I move, you raise your noble hand and spare me." ”
Li Mao didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he lost his eyes, and the magic god smashed him with the handle of his sword, and the four of them got on the boat and crossed the river to the west.
After getting together at the agreed place, the three of them went straight to the inner courtyard military barracks on the left side of the Jiedu Embassy Mansion, Li Mao is now also the deputy envoy of the inner courtyard army, although he only took his post in vain, but the duty room and wingmen were all neatly matched. The Inner Courtyard Army is Li Shigu's pro-army, and Li Fang's hand can't reach in.
The clerk said that he was tired on the road, and he was reluctant to discuss the specific plan with Li Mao for two days, until he saw his wife, the infant daughter of the Wu monk, at dusk on the third day, so he took the initiative to find Li Mao.
Li Mao's plan had already been decided, and Li Shigu first ordered Li Fang to be transferred as the deputy envoy to replace Chang Zhengmo, who had returned to his hometown. The order of the shogunate of Ziqing is Jiedu, Observation, Zhidu, Yingtian, and Charge Domain, and the deputy envoy of Yingtian is transferred to the deputy envoy of observation, which is regarded as a promotion. Chang Zhenmo and Li Fang are sons and daughters, and the two have been friends for many years and have many interests. Chang Zhenmo's second son Chang Chun killed someone in Yunzhou City, Dongping County did not dare to take care of it, the bitter lord sued the state government, Zhu Yong accepted the case, sent a sign to arrest people, Chang Chun resisted and disobeyed, and clashed with the cha to kill a serious injury, Zhu Yong was furious, and personally led the officials to Chang's house to arrest people, and the noise was boiling, and the public opinion in Yunzhou condemned the Chang family one-sidedly.
Chang Zhenmo had to make a show to say goodbye to Li Shigu to resign, and Li Shigu got off the donkey and fulfilled his wish, which came too suddenly, Chang Zhenmo didn't have time to react, let alone wipe his buttocks. Although Li Shigu also served as the observer of Ziqing Dao, but due to his busy military affairs and too wide jurisdiction, all the daily affairs were handed over to the deputy envoy Chang Zhenmo to deal with.
Chang Zhenmo was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, at a loss, hearing that Li Shigu tuned Li Fang out to observe the shogunate, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and went to Li Fang's mansion late at night to persuade him to take office, in order to persuade Li Fang to take office, Chang Zhenmo deliberately exaggerated his mistakes in office, claiming that if Li Fang did not go to office, he was afraid that the shady curtain would be difficult to cover up, and no one would be able to get rid of it when the time came.
Over the years, Li Fang has colluded with Chang Zhenmo to do what shady things, he has an account in his heart, although it is not as serious as Chang Zhenmo said, but if it is turned out by Li Shigu, it is inevitable that he will be implicated himself, thinking of Li Mao's actions in Linzi County, Li Fang suddenly became vigilant, considering that he has been operating in the Yingtian Department for many years, and it is deep-rooted, even if he is not a deputy envoy, it is not something that Li Mao can gnaw on as a nobody. On the contrary, it is observed that the shogunate is in crisis, Chang Zhenmo is ambitious and talented, and there are too many mistakes, if he does not remedy it in time, in case he is exploited by Li Mao's gang, it is not a joke to bite a bite.
Li Fang decided to go to the post on the condition that his confidant judge Zheng Zaofei be the deputy envoy, and Li Shigu agreed to his conditions, Li Fang was still not very relieved, and before leaving, he forced the judge Min Lai, who did not deal with Zheng Zaofi, to retreat, so he was relieved to boldly take up the post of deputy envoy for observation.
Transferring the tiger away from the mountain is the first step of Li Mao's plan, as soon as Li Fang walks on the front foot, Li Mao will arrest Zhou Ru, the inspector of the Yingtian Shogunate, on the charge of violating the curfew, Zhou Ru has been by Li Fang's side for many years, and Li Yong is known as Li Fang's right-hand man, is the henchman of the henchmen, before Li Fang was transferred to the deputy envoy of observation, Zhou Ru, who was illiterate in large characters, was recommended as the inspector and gave him a name.
