Chapter 609: Old Acquaintances I've Never Met
"I am indeed the Commander of the Knights."
"Back then, when I was in Yecheng, I knew that you were the prince's subordinates, and I knew that you had a conflict with the Northern Army. At that time, the leaders of the Northern Army were Guo Fei and Yuhuating. ”
"I know that the Yanjin War brought you benefits back then, and the later destruction of the Taihang Mountain bandits also gave you a lot of sweetness."
"It's all about me."
"So these things should prove that I am the former Commander of the Titi Knights, right?"
After Xie Shence finished speaking, Cao Baqi and Ge Monkey's eyes widened, and Cao Baqi's mouth still made a "ho-ho" sound, as if he had been choked by the neck before.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze like this, and after a long time, it was the overlord flower that broke the deadlock.
"It doesn't matter if you're the Admiral of the Tiksars or not. For us, the biggest reason for following you now is not because of what you have done before, but more because of your identity. In the final analysis, it's because you are the little marquis of the Xie family. Although the Xie family is about to fall, the resources in your hands are still a huge temptation. ”
"I have a grudge against Tiqi, but that has nothing to do with you. To avenge my father, I want to kill Wei Liao. To avenge the people who died in the war, you have to find Sima Bi to seek justice. In short, no matter which one you have, as long as you take revenge, you need your strength."
"That's my realization. Cao Baqi, I know that you have some ideas, and I also know your current situation, and you have no choice. I gathered more than 300 people, plus more than 100 people from the Xie family, together with their families, there are now more than 700 people in this place, and there are more than 500 people who can fight, do you know that there are only more than 400 people left in the camp now, where are the rest of the people? ”
After the overlord flower finished speaking, Cao Baqi was stunned, and then understood.
"If you dare to touch her, I'll kill you."
Cao Baqi struggled hard, and soon someone actually grabbed his throat, and after he broke away, he continued to yell.
However, in the end, he was not able to completely break free.
"You're thinking too much, I'm just bringing them back"
Xie Shence said, someone came in, whispered a few words in Xie Shence's ear, Xie Shence smiled and nodded, motioned for someone to go down, and said, "Look, I just took them back." ”
Not long after, in Cao Baqi's surprised gaze, a father and daughter came in.
Unlike Cao Baqi, they were obviously invited in.
"Shibashi"
"What Shiba! Do you stutter? ”
The woman glared at Cao Baqi fiercely, and Cao Baqi was not ashamed of being reprimanded, but smiled.
"You're okay, it's okay"
"Of course I'm fine, you think everyone is like you, lying on the ground like a leper dog?"
Cao Baqi only smiled and didn't reply.
Xie Shence stood on it, looking at the mouths of the two below, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he was really a very interesting person.
It seemed that he was made a look by the woman, Cao Baqi didn't giggle anymore, stopped making trouble, and became quiet.
"I don't know who you are, but since you tied up my man and called us here without killing us, you must have asked me, so the Ming people don't say secret words, they can say whatever conditions they have, and if the price is reasonable, we will do it. If it doesn't fit the market, or you let them go, we'll go, or you kill us all. ”
"That's right! If there is a kind of killing, it is a man who will open the conditions, and we will fight against soldiers."
Overlord Hua sneered and said nothing while holding her sword, and Xie Shence was stunned again.
This woman is really violent. No wonder it can make a reckless man like Cao Baqi look at it.
However, when the woman said this, the retreat in her eyes was keenly captured by Xie Shence.
It turns out that it's not really extravagant. Not to mention, in such an environment, even the identity of the other party can't be understood, and those who dare to speak like this are either fearless or inward-looking.
Obviously, the woman in front of her belongs to the latter.
No matter how generous and heroic the woman said, whether Cao Baqi was moved by the sentence "my man" or not, whether the overlord flower was sneering or not, Xie Shence noticed that the old man, or rather the person who looked old, was silent and kept quiet.
Xie felt a sense of familiarity in his heart, and his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this person, but he couldn't catch anything.
When he came in, the old man just glanced at the layout in the hall casually, and looked sleepy in his clothes, and he didn't look at Xie Shence.
Such "arrogance" is hateful in the eyes of ordinary people, but in this person, it seems very normal. Xie Shence didn't feel inappropriate, so he felt even more strange.
Knowing that the old man was powerful, the overlord flower naturally wouldn't despise him, so he reminded Xie Shence: "Jia Qiweng, Jia Lingzhi." Qi Weng is a strange person, if it weren't for him, Cao Baqi would have been eaten by his previous master and there would be no scum left. ”
At that time, Cao Baqi and the second master made a big boss, and since then, the two have been in charge of the cottage together. Cao Baqi is a coarse and fine person, and he also has a lot of power in his hands, but overall, if the second master wants to really govern him, Cao Baqi does not have much room to move around.
If it weren't for Jia Qiweng, Cao Baqi's days in Baizhangya Old Dragon Pond would not be very comfortable, and it would not have been so much that when people talked about Baizhang Cliff Old Dragon Pond later, they consciously added the word Cao Baqi at the back, instead of so-and-so.
Xie Shence understood, so he stepped forward and saluted: "Xie Shence has seen Qiweng." ”
Na Jia Qiweng only looked at Xie Shence at this time, arched his hand as a return gift, and said lightly: "The little marquis of the Xie family is still as my daughter said, if you have an idea, just say it, we are also cheerful people, whether we can do your business, we have to talk about it to know." ”
The old man spoke, and his voice was actually very elegant and upright, which made Xie Shence a little surprised, and guessed in his heart that the real age of the old man should not be more than sixty years old.
It's just that I'm afraid it's not like it's seventy.
Xie Shence thought so in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Qi Weng is a little restless, don't be impatient, please rest for a while, and secondly, it's not early at this time, you might as well eat and talk about it, how about it?" ”
The loose skin on Jia Qiweng's face wrinkled, and he smiled: "Little Hou Ye, the old man is not in a hurry."
"Then please go and rest first."
"That's fine, but my son-in-law and his brother, can the little marquis let go first?"
Xie Shence smiled: "This is not good, it is good to teach Qiweng to know that this guy can hurt more than a dozen of my brothers, and he is very fierce, so he can't let go." ”
"Old decay insisted."
"It's not that I don't give Qi Weng this face, and don't say that this guy has some festivals with me, just Qi Weng's previous son-in-law, I can't count them. As far as I know, Ling Yan and this guy are not yet married-isn't this a lie to me, how can you lie to me, I still have to give you convenience? ”
Jia Qiweng looked at Xie Shence, smiled, and then said, "In this case, then my father and daughter will retire first." ”
"Heh, Qiweng, please."
Jia Qiweng left without looking back, but Jia Lingzhi looked back at Cao Baqi several times.
After taking Jia Qiweng away, Xie Shence said to Cao Baqi: "This old man of yours really doesn't like you very much." ”
"You don't have to worry about my business."
"Yes, but I'm in charge now, what can you do? Don't say I didn't help you, I hinted at it just now, but people just don't want to marry their daughter to you, I can only help you here. ”
"Can you help me? You're hurting me! If it weren't for your last words, it would have been very likely that I had this experience with Lingzhi."
"Don't dream, Earthworm Cao, the girl doesn't mean anything to you at all. You think I don't know, people show that they care about you because she knows that when you die, they have no reason to live at all! The reason why I don't kill them is because they are important to you. And the reason why they are treated favorably is because you are still valuable. ”
Xie Shence showed no mercy and continued to strike: "Cao Baqi, don't think about explaining or quibbling, in fact, you yourself understand, right?" When the old man put forward any conditions, he was already rebellious and sentenced to death, and the reason why he has been vain and wronged to you for so many years is because they can't live without you! ”
"Impossible! Why do you say that? You're provoking my relationship with Lingzhi! You maliciously slander"
"Don't drag the idiom, malicious slander is not appropriate here. What do you say I'm just? Do you really want to know? ”
"You say! I just want to listen to you and tell you to thank Shence, if you can't say that you are ugly today, I Cao Baqi will not let you go! ”
The corners of Xie Shence's mouth curled up with a touch of sarcasm, and said, "Okay, you listen well"
"Big brother! Don't listen to him! Ge Monkey shouted, but Cao Baqi said, "You let him speak!" See what he can say! ”
"Big Brother"
"You let him speak!"
"Uh-huh!" Xie Shence cleared his throat and said, "The real name of Jia Qiweng you are talking about is not Jia Qi, but Cai Zhongkan. Jia Lingzhi is not called Jia Lingzhi, but Cai Lingzhi. Before Bawanghua also said that he didn't know where they came from, then I can tell you that their ancestral home is Jiangnan County, Huaiyang Road, and Cai Zhongkan was an official in Shandong Province very early, so his accent is no different from that of Shandong Dao. ”
Cao Baqi yelled: "I don't believe it! You lie, Qi Weng is not a Huaiyang Daoist! I sent someone to check! ”
"Have you checked? What have you looked up? Can you be better than a horseman? ”
Xie Shence yelled back at Cao Baqi and said, "I handled the Huaiyang Dao Cai case single-handedly, and I have seen the two generations of genealogy that the Cai family has cultivated for hundreds of years!" Cai Zhongkan, Cai Yong's second brother, the magistrate of Wulian County! During the retrial of Cai's case that year, it was rumored that the river crossing boat broke and the father and daughter died. Now that they're here, you don't know why, do you? ”
Cao Baqi was slightly sluggish.
When Jia's father and daughter were looted by him, they did have a unique accent from Wulian County, but they denied that they were from Wulian County, and only said that floods and the like, Cao Baqi didn't ask much because he was selfish, and others didn't dare to ask more because they were afraid of Cao Baqi.
Gradually, the Jia father and daughter were accepted by the cottage and could participate in some things, and they seemed to be very familiar with everyone, but when they thought about it, they didn't know much about each other.
This father and daughter, in addition to their identities and mannerisms in life, are different from ordinary poor families in many places, and they are even more different from horse bandits. The crowd also treated them as ordinary rich people and did not delve too deeply.
As for Xie Shence's ability to know so much detail, it is due to Tiqi's powerful query ability.
The ruin of the Cai family - it is better to say that the door is destroyed - was caused by him, adhering to the creed of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, Xie Shence did not let go of any of his direct children. It's just that Cai Zhongkan's accidental death, after failing to "die to see the body" investigation at that time, was also attributed to the fact that the body of the suicide could not be salvaged. Later, there was news that Cai Zhongkan might have defected to the horse bandits if he was alive, but this kind of thinking was too big a leap in thinking, and the case had been closed at that time, so Xie Shence did not take it to heart. Now it seems that it is true.
Xie Shence, who has seen Cai Zhongkan's portrait many times, may not be able to restore Cai Zhongkan's appearance, but when Cai Zhongkan appeared in front of Xie Shence's eyes, Xie Shence still felt a trace of familiarity, and then inadvertently, he captured a suspicious point that had been sealed for several years.
Skynet is magnificent but not leaky, and sometimes there must be in life.
