Chapter 116: Wealth in the sky

Liu Xu looked at the Qingyuan Inn in front of him, the tables, chairs and benches were neatly arranged, the staircase pillars were clean, and the counter abacus was carefully maintained, obviously managed by the owner carefully, and couldn't help but smile at Zhao Hu beside him: "When you go in to talk, be polite, don't use knives and guns in the store, otherwise the inn that the owner has worked hard to run will be ruined for you!" ”

"Childe Bodhisattva heart!" Zhao Hu said angrily, and shouted loudly: "You guys, send a talking person in, Gao told them that Songjiang Liu Gongzi came to arrest Wei Zhongxian, and if you don't want to die, come out and surrender quickly!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a middle-aged voice come out: "Don't bother, our house is here!" Liu Xu looked up, the Zhongguan dress, the iconic nine-beam crown, hanging eyebrows, triangular eyes, looking like he was going to die, as if he had just been hanged, thinking that it was Wei Zhongxian.

He took a closer look, and then said, "You are Wei Zhongxian's dog thief?" ”

Wei Zhongxian's expression was very bad, as if he had experienced a serious illness, and as if his health had been damaged by some kind of emergency, so now he was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and like a panicked lost dog, but his tone still carried a trace of the arrogance of the favored ministers of the Son of Heaven and the power of the world: "How can our family say that it is also a close minister of the Daxing Emperor, you are a small person, what qualifications do you have to talk to our family!" ”

Several soldiers around him, with grim expressions and well-equipped, should be Wei Zhongxian's bodyguards. The leading warrior was about thirty years old, with a sword hanging from his waist, and a crossbow on his left, although he was not tall, he looked very strong, and he was obviously a warrior killed in the sea of corpses and blood.

Liu Xu laughed: "Dog thief, you have harmed Zhongliang and caused chaos in the world, Lao Tzu didn't ask someone to shoot you to death as soon as they met, it just gave you face, and you still want to put up a fight in front of Lao Tzu?" The emperor has ordered you to be arrested, so let's share the emperor's worries now. Come on, take Wei Zhongxian down for me, if anyone dares to resist, let's put him to death to Ling Chi too!" ”

When he said this, he was full of confidence, not only because he had 300 sturdy warriors and thousands of warriors behind him, but also because he also had the joint support of tens of thousands of scholars in Jiangnan and occupied the advantage of righteousness. His propaganda machine has been slowly started, although the current use of the Ming Dynasty is still the old-fashioned machine, but with the humanities resources of the Jiangnan humanities, Jimin Daily has become the propaganda mouthpiece of the Jiangnan scholars.

As soon as Liu Xu's words came out, several sturdy sergeants immediately stood up, wearing cloth armor and holding long knives and wolf swords, forming a mandarin duck array taught by Qi Jiguang. Although their training is not comparable to the legendary immortal soldier Qi Jiajun, after all, they are soldiers who are familiar with battle battles, and they may not be able to compare to these bodyguards in front of them in terms of fighting alone, but forming a military formation to fight is definitely not something that the other party can resist.

Wei Zhongxian's face was a little bad, as if he sensed the danger of the form, but he still hissed and shouted: "No matter what our family says, it is also a favorite minister of the heavenly family, even if it is death, we have to wait for the emperor's people to arrest it, you kid want to arrest our family, or dream!" As he spoke, he ordered the warriors beside him, "Bolong, stop them for me!" ”

This warrior named Bolong immediately shouted after receiving the order: "Iron head, Hu Cheng, crazy monk, do it!" ”

To everyone's surprise, instead of facing the soldiers, the three people who received the order led to slash some bodyguards to death. They moved very quickly, and they were caught off guard, so these bodyguards were hacked to death without any defense, and they were smeared with large patches of red spots on the loess pavement.

"Bolong, what are you doing here!" Wei Zhongxian seemed to be frightened by the continuous blows, so his voice was extremely high-pitched, which reminded Liu Xu of the tenor he had heard before, but Wei Zhongxian's tenor voice seemed to be the neighing of a pig with his tail cut off.

"Husband Wei, I'm sorry, we have decided to take refuge in this Liu Gongzi, you can just arrest it!" Bo Long's face was not sad or happy, and he said lightly.

Liu Xu suddenly became interested, and he looked at Bo Long with interest, waiting for him to find a reason for his behavior.

"You villain, you dare to betray the Lord!" Wei Zhongxian was already completely hysterical at this moment, he screamed angrily, roared, his eyes opened wide in extreme fear and anger, revealing the pupils that spread inside, and the corners of his mouth were slowly torn apart because of the loud howl, and a little blood flowed out.

"Husband Wei, I don't owe you: the monthly money you give me will be sent to this month, and I will protect you until this month, and we will clear it up. Five days ago, there were thieves from the White Lotus Sect who intercepted and killed you, and I took twenty-eight brothers to kill more than 200 of them, counting those who were seriously injured and could not be saved, there were only eighteen people left, and this was the first life that saved you! You hanged yourself last night, and I saved your life again! That's loyalty! I took refuge in Liu Gongzi today, not because there are many people, but because he bears the righteousness of the world, and what he does is to eradicate rape and eliminate evil. Bo Long didn't care about Wei Zhongxian's anger at all, and talked eloquently without care: "When you persecuted the six gentlemen of Donglin, I persuaded you sideways, but unfortunately you didn't listen, so don't blame me for abandoning the darkness and turning to the light!" ”

"Well, well said!" When the scholars heard this, they applauded one after another, and they were outnumbered, and they were trained for a long time to be uniform, and for a time the whole town echoed with their applause, which seemed to be very loud. Seeing that there was no need to fight, the soldiers were naturally happy, after all, no one wanted to fight for life and death without value.

"You!" Wei Zhongxian stretched out his hand and pointed at Bo Long, Bo Long's criticism and the applause of the scholars stimulated his nerves, causing his nostrils to open wide, spewing out clouds of white mist, obviously angry to the extreme.

Liu Xu smiled secretly in his heart, although this Bolong is righteous and strict, but this is definitely not for Wei Zhongxian, it makes no sense for a dying person and what you say to him, he said that he led people to defeat the White Lotus Sect to prove his ability; Saying that he abandoned the dark and turned to the light is to say that he preached morality, not only successfully whitewashed himself, but also became a new generation of emasculated heroes, but he was so calculating!

He could have completely disaccepted Berlon's surrender, because he now had the advantage, not to mention anything else, even those dozens of bird guns could completely bury these warriors, but why bother?

If you can accept the most people in your loyalty, you don't have to push your allies over to the enemy's side. What to clean up the housekeeping and what to maintain purity are all things that are after sitting on the throne, and what is needed now is to unite all the forces that can be united.

"Good, good! Brother Bolong, I am very happy that you can abandon the darkness and join our camp of the Jimin Society, not only because of the reduction of casualties, but also because of the fact that you have a righteous warrior with clear grievances! So saying, he looked at the scholars again: "Look, you see, I have often said that there will be faithfulness in the town of ten chambers, and this brother is not the best example of this?" What are those gentlemen in the court doing at the moment? It is nothing more than a struggle for power and profit, corruption and bribery, and robbing Wei Zhongxian of the power vacuum, but the Bolong brothers escorted Wei Zhongxian's dog thieves all the way here and defeated the White Lotus Sect thieves, who are loyal; It is righteous to never leave your brother; Risking one's own life for the sake of the country's righteousness is benevolence! Such a person is the person we need the most, I suggest that we applaud him again! ”

"Papapa" Liu Xu took the lead in applauding, and the others naturally applauded, and for a while, the applause that had gradually disappeared echoed in the town in the early morning, stirring in the town's Gaoxuan white wall and Wuwa painting building.

"Young Master Liu, Young Master Liu!" Bolong knelt on the ground with a "poof", tears flashed in his eyes, and said loudly: "A certain was originally a man who fought in the rivers and lakes, he only knew how to do things with money in his life, and he had done some wrong things before, but he had never done anything like destroying a family and a lewd wife and daughter, and he was not a bad person, and he felt worthy of his ancestors in the middle of the night!" However, I often wonder why this person is alive and what is justice! When I saw Gongzi today, I knew what it means to be talented and righteous to be awe-inspiring! Please take us in for the sake of our righteousness! ”

What he said was sincere, and he was full of tears, no one could help but believe in his sincerity, although Liu Xu was skeptical of his loyalty, it was impossible to miss such an opportunity to brush up his reputation. In order to prevent being taken hostage by Bolong's bitter flesh, he stood in the distance and said loudly: "Brother Bolong, I believe in you! Now you can lay down your arms, register in the ranks, and when the initiation ceremony is complete, we will be a family! Now, let my soldiers arrest Wei Zhongxian, a dog thief! ”

Bo Long seemed to know that Liu Xu didn't fully believe in himself, and he didn't say anything, so he directly untied his sword and took his own people to register, suddenly leaving Wei Zhongxian, who no one cared about, trembling on the ground.

"By the way, Childe, this Wei Zhongxian dog thief also brought forty-two carts of property, I don't know what Childe plans to do with it?" It seems that the timing is a little wrong for Bolong to suddenly raise such a question in public, but only by announcing the treatment plan at this time can the mouth of the people of the world be blocked.

Liu Xu smiled slightly, he already had a plan for this problem: "This is easy to do, Wei Zhongxian's money is the people's fat and people's ointment, let's take it from the people and use it for the people!" I decided to ask the members of the Jimin Society to count and announce to the world, and half of it will be given to the emperor as the inner treasury silver, so that the emperor can handle political affairs more freely! The other half of us set up a "Jimin Society Foundation" to fund the descendants of the Donglin gentlemen who were unjustly killed and their descendants, if there is any surplus, it will be used to publish publications that promote the righteousness of Donglin, and compile and print the posthumous works of the Donglin gentlemen, so that their virtues and talents can be known to the world! I invite the scholars of the Jimin Society to run this foundation, and any scholars who participate in the management or participate in the compilation will be given generous labor fees, at least 20 taels per person a month! The accounts of this foundation, I ask the people of the world to supervise together, and announce the use of the foundation every month, if there is a copper plate missing in the end, you will kill my head! ”

As soon as he said this, not only Bolong's eyes lit up, obviously he never thought that this money could be spent like this, the scholars also cheered loudly, obviously, serving in this foundation is not only money, but also the only shortcut to improve his reputation in Shilin, and most importantly, such a distribution of Wei Zhongxian's inheritance, the world will definitely not say half of it!

"Now," listening to the cheers of the scholars, Liu Xu waved his hand to indicate that he heard it, and then walked towards Wei Zhongxian: "Dog thief, it's time for us to settle accounts!" ”
