Chapter Seventy-Three: If You Know Today, Why Bother in the First Place
Because it is quarrying rock belongs to Dangtu, so that when Tu small county, it is also the key to the Great Song Pingnan.
So when Shi Wei was a little bit earlier, Shi Wei had sent someone to sneak into Dangtu secretly and inquire about the local situation.
The spies inadvertently found out that when Tuyuan County Ling Xin Yi was demoted and imprisoned, this person relied on his father-in-law's relationship in the court and spent a lot of money to open up the joints, and finally got an acquittal.
After the dismissal, Xin Yi, although he was no longer in power, was rich in his family, so he continued to live as a rich man in Dangtu.
Shi Wei kept this information in mind, and now he revisited the old place, so he naturally did not forget to come back to find the old enemy to settle the account.
"Stone ...... Stone...... Lord Stone"
Xin Yi, who was frightened, stammered for a long time, and then spit out three words with difficulty.
The matter of Shi Wei's envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty has long been rumored, and there are acquaintances in the capital of Xinyi, so naturally they have heard the news.
He was naturally very shocked by Shi Wei's career in the Great Song Dynasty, and he was afraid of it before, but he thought that Shi Wei was far away as an official in Bianjing, even if he was powerful, how could he help him.
It's just that Xin Yi never thought that when the Song army invaded the south, Shi Wei would also go south with the army.
Shi Wei stood on his horse, looked down at Xin Yi, and asked with a smile: "I said Lord Xin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if your wife can give birth to a boy and a girl?" ”
Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I gave birth to a son to the younger one last year, thanks to Lord Shi's superb medical skills, he cured the infertility of the young one, and the kindness of the adult, the little one is really grateful." ”
"It turns out that Master Xin, you still remember that your wife's infertility was cured by me Shi Wei." Shi Wei's tone was a little ironic.
Obviously, Shi Wei is satirizing him for being ungrateful, and he will take revenge.
Xin Yi was sleek and tight, and he immediately understood, and his expression became more and more panicked.
He immediately shook it to the end, and said ashamedly: "The kindness of the adults is unforgettable for the little ones." Back then, the little one tried his best to protect the adult, but Lu Xuanming insisted on targeting the adult, and the small position was low, and he couldn't stop it at all, and he hoped that the adult would forgive him. ”
This Xin Yi put all the blame on Lu Xuanming, anyway, Lu Xuanming is in Jinling, and he is allowed to make up "death without proof".
Xin Yi's excuse, how could he be coaxed by Shi Wei.
At that time, Xin Yi's position was low, and he really couldn't influence Lu Xuanming's actions, which Shi Wei naturally knew.
The key is that at that time, he sent his nephew Ma Bo and brought a large group of people to Ping'an Hall to arrest Shi Wei.
This behavior clearly means that Xinyi has no intention of protecting Shi Wei at all, but actively acts as Lu Xuanming's pawn.
Shi Wei kept such evil deeds in mind, how could he forget them.
"The previous official sent an envoy to Jinling, but he also met that Lord Lu, how can it seem that what he said is completely inconsistent with what you said, Lord Xin?"
Shi Wei casually made up nonsense, like a monkey, just to see what kind of face this Xin Yi had.
Sure enough, Xin Yi's expression changed, he squeaked for a long time, and he didn't know how to argue again.
In an instant, Xin Yi was already panicked, and the whole person was trembling, extremely panicked.
Enough of playing monkeys, Shi Wei's expression suddenly became solemn, and he shouted: "Boldly Diao the people and hard work, dare to harbor the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, what crime should you be guilty of." ”
This shout, like thunder, shook Na Xinyi's legs weak, and he fell to his knees.
"The little ones are wronged, how dare the little ones harbor anything." Xin Yi trembled and complained, looking unjust.
Shi Wei said angrily: "This official has pursued Jianxi to this point, and I saw Jianxi fleeing into your house with my own eyes, it is obvious that you are deliberately harboring, and you dare to quibble." ”
"Adult, the little one is really wronged......"
Shi Wei had already given him a chance to defend himself, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Xiong Dutou, don't you quickly take down this collaborator Diao people, and then let the brothers search this room inside and out, and you must find out the details for me." ”
Xiong Qingye had long been itching, and when he heard Shi Wei's order, how could he not be uneasy.
He immediately ordered dozens of subordinates to rush into the courtyard and wantonly search for the so-called annihilation.
Xiong Qingye himself took a step forward, and lifted that Xin Yi with his ape arm, and the corners of his mouth hooked a murderous sneer: "Xin Yi, do you remember how you fixed me, now it's time for you to pay back." ”
Xin Yi recognized Xiong Qingye, and his old face turned pale with fright, and when he wanted to say goodbye, Xiong Qingye had already stuffed his mouth, and ordered his subordinates to tie him up and escort him away.
The whole ordinary people who are officials always have all kinds of "legitimate" reasons.
Of course, Shi Wei knew that with Xin Yi's surname, in this kind of situation, where would he have the courage to harbor anything.
But at present, Shi Wei is the new occupier of this land, and Xin Yi is just an unofficial and powerless ordinary people.
Like Xin Yi, a dog official who fishes and eats people, once upon a time, I don't know how many innocent people were ruined by him in the same way.
Shi Wei said that he used the same means, firstly, to avenge personal revenge, and secondly, to eliminate harm for the people.
When Shi Wei escorted Na Xin Yi away, Xiong Qingye's subordinates had turned Xin Mansion upside down, and of course these soldiers were not looking for any "annihilation", but took the opportunity to loot the money and valuable things of Xin Mansion.
Anyway, the belongings of Xin Yi's family are all looted people's fat and ointment, and Shi Wei can also borrow flowers to offer Buddha, as a reward for Xiong Qingye's team of forbidden soldiers who have protected him for a long time.
After Shi Wei escorted Xin Yi out of Dangtu City, he did not go directly back to the military camp next to Quarry Rock, but escorted him to a remote place.
Although the Son of Heaven has decreed, where the army passes, it is forbidden to occupy the local people without permission.
As the commander, Cao Bin can only try to control his subordinates not to go too far, as for the kind of small fights and disturbing the people, he can only turn a blind eye.
Therefore, with Shi Wei's identity, thinking of the entire former junior official of the Southern Tang Dynasty, even if he came openly, I am afraid that no one will interfere with it.
It's just that Shi Wei didn't want to be too public, so he brought Xin Yi to this remote place.
That Xin Yi seemed to have sensed Shi Wei's revenge, and when the gag sackcloth was pulled out, he was anxious to kowtow and beg Shi Wei for mercy again and again.
"Xin Yi, do you remember your nephew Ma Bo?" Shi Wei asked expressionlessly.
Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what Shi Wei's intentions were for a while.
Shi Wei told Na Xinyi how Ma Bo hired water thieves to try to kidnap and murder him.
Xin Yi's face became more and more pale when he heard this, and the beads of sweat on his forehead kept rolling down.
After Shi Wei finished speaking, Xin Yi immediately defended: "That kid is so bold, it's really hateful. The little one didn't know about it, and the kid had been missing for years, but rest assured, once the little one found the kid, he would be sent to the punishable by the adult. ”
Right now, in order to save his life, this Xin Yi is a righteous death that even his nephew can do without hesitation.
Shi Wei patted his head and said, "I'm afraid you don't have this chance, and you don't want to think about it, if Ma Bo is still alive, how can this official stand in front of you today." ”
Xin Yi fell into confusion again.
Shi Wei sneered: "Let me tell you, back then, that Ma Bo was beyond his strength and wanted to murder the official, but he was already killed by the official's design." ”
Xin Yi was shocked, and then he realized why his nephew had disappeared for many years for no reason, and it turned out that he had died in the hands of Shi Wei.
At this time, Xin Yi was shocked and regretful, and he couldn't understand how Shi Wei could escape from the hands of the water thieves and kill his nephew.
regretted that Ma Bo was incompetent, if Shi Wei had been eliminated earlier, why would he have fallen to such a position today.
Seeing Xin Yi's vengeful expression, Shi Wei asked with a smile: "I said Xin Yi, do you blame your precious nephew now, blame him for being too stupid and failed to get rid of this official." ”
Xin Yi's mind was seen through, his expression was embarrassed, and he said hurriedly: "How dare the villain." It is an unforgivable sin for Ma Bo to do such evil deeds, but fortunately the adults have removed this scourge, and even if he is still alive, the villain will surely catch him, sacrifice him to the adults, and let the adults deal with him. ”
Ma Bo pushed the relationship cleanly, and he also looked like he was killing his relatives in righteousness.
Such a face made Xiong Qingye look more and more disgusted, and he couldn't help but rush forward and slapped Xin Yi in the face.
"You dog, you still dare to fool Lord Shi, if it weren't for your instructions, Ma Boyan would dare to murder Lord Shi." After slapping him, Xiong Qingye did not forget to scold.
Xiong Qingye was already equipped with martial arts, and he was even stronger, and this slap immediately made Na Xinyi dizzy, and blood spurted from his mouth and nose.
He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, looked at Xiong Qingye with murderous intent, and had to cry and say with a sad face: "Master Xiong misunderstood, even if the little one has the courage to do such a thing, he doesn't dare to instruct Ma Bo to do such a thing, the villain really doesn't know." ”
"Dare to quibble!" Xiong Qingye was furious, and he swung his fist and slapped him again.
At this time, Shi Wei stretched out his hand to stop him, and said lightly: "This official believes that what he said is true." At that time, I had Lu Xuanming under my cover, no matter how stupid he was, he would not do this stupid thing that offended Lu Xuanming, right, Xin County Order. ”
Shi Wei's words were also based on his own judgment.
That Xin Yi didn't expect Shi Wei to speak for him, and thought that Shi Wei was going to forgive him, and his face suddenly swelled with joy.
He hurriedly complimented: "My lord is wise, this matter really has nothing to do with the small one, it is all that Ma Bo is bold." ”
Shi Wei sighed again: "But although Ma Bo is not instructed by you, but you, as his uncle, usually connived at him to cause trouble in the township, so that he has developed such a bold surname. ”
Xin Yi nodded hurriedly and said: "What the adults taught is that they only hated the little one for not being strict in the first place, which made him so rebellious, and the little one is really remorseful." ”
Xin Yi's mood has eased a lot.
At this moment, Shi Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's not too late, the official will give you another chance to discipline your precious nephew." ”
"Huh?"
Xin Yi looked confused, and thought that his nephew was dead, so how could he have any chance to discipline him.
Just when Xin Yi was still puzzled, Shi Wei had already turned around and glanced at Xiong Qingye.
Xiong Qingye understood, his face was full of murder, and he pulled out the saber on his waist with a "poof".
