When Li Guo was about to attack Zhang Er Mazi in Fugu, an incident occurred that suspended his actions.

It was early that day, and Li Guo hadn't gotten up yet, but Nie Xin had already come.

"What's the matter?" Li Guo asked Nie Xin while getting dressed.

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Nie Xin said hesitantly.

Li Guo glared at Nie Xin.

"It's just that Li Eighteen has something to worry about." Nie Xin replied.

Li Eighteen? What happened to Li Eighteen? Li Guo was puzzled. Li Eighteen is called Li Jian, Li Jian and Li Guo Li Twelve are both uncles and brothers, although they are not uncles, but they are very close in blood, according to the past, there are no five suits. Li Eighteen is a few years younger than Li Guo, he is exactly eighteen years old this year, and in Li Guo's memory, Li Eighteen and other Li nephews have been playing with Li Guo until they grow up. After Li Guo set up his own door, in addition to Li Twelve, people like Li Qiang, Li Eighteen, Li Jin and others have been following him.

Li Eighteen is the youngest, and Li Guo has always cared about him.

"Something happened to Li Eighteen?" Li asked.

Nie Xin scratched his head: "Actually, this matter can be big or small. ”

"Say it quickly, explain it clearly!" Li Guo was a little anxious.

"Li 18 robbed a folk girl, and took some gold and silver privately." Nie Xin looked at Li Guo.

What the? Isn't that a big deal? Li Guo pressed Nie Xin, "Tell me quickly, what happened." ”

Nie Xin told what had happened.

It turned out that Li Guo had always regarded the soldiers under his command as the cultivation of talents in the future, and the soldiers who stayed in Hequ County to carry out land reform were well aware of this. In the future, these people will be more heavily used.

Li Eighteen is exactly eighteen years old, which is the age at which he can leave the child soldier.

So, after Li 12 and others went to the old camp for a meeting, Niu Decao, who presided over the river meander, reported to Li Guo, promoted Li 18, and appointed Li 18 as the mayor of Zhao Town.

In fact, according to Li Eighteen's qualifications and military exploits, Li Eighteen did rise faster. However, he couldn't write two Li characters in one stroke, and Li Eighteen's promotion was not opposed by everyone. Li Guo also earnestly hoped that Li 18 could make some achievements and not let himself be embarrassed.

Li 18 was originally very honest and serious about all aspects of Zhao Zhen, but one of Li 18's personal soldiers was a veteran of the Ming army. This person's name is Wang Wu, he is not young, when he was in the Ming Army, he was used to eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, although he is now used to the discipline in Li Guojun, but after a long time, he has relapsed into some old ways. So, from time to time, he instigated Li Shibai to drink wine and eat meat, and find some fun, so that he could also be moisturized.

However, it takes money to drink and eat meat for fun. That Wang Wu secretly said to Li Shiba, "Master Hu is your brother, so it costs a little two dollars, which must not be a big deal." As a result, Zhao Zhen's accounts were a little unclear.

The person in charge of the accounts is called Shen Bing, whose responsibility lies, and he is also a person in the Nie Xin system, so he was worried that something would happen, so he sued Niu Decao, who was in charge of Hequ at that time.

Niu Decao was furious when he heard this, so he took people to Li Shibai's place and ordered his own soldiers to beat Li Shiba. Niu Decao is also hot-tempered, although Li Shibai is Li Guo's brother, he doesn't dare to say anything.

"Little Eighteen, you rabbit cub, if you want to say that others dare to embezzle the silver and have an excusable heart, how dare you? Don't you know that the tiger master is also short of silver now? Not sensible! If the tiger master knew that you were like this, he wouldn't have skinned you alive! Niu Decao scolded.

Li Shibai was also panicked at this moment, and hurriedly knelt down, "Brother Niu, I know it's wrong, I don't dare anymore, I'll change it, please don't let Master Tiger know." ”

Niu Decao thought about it, if this matter was poked out, it would not be good for Li Guo's reputation, so he suppressed this matter, and instead beat Li Eighteen's personal soldier Wang Wu with twenty military sticks. Niu Decao thought to himself, and gave Li Shibai some lessons, presumably he would never dare to make mistakes in the future.

Li Shibai also has a memory, he doesn't touch the money, and he also wants to make meritorious contributions to the war. In the suppression of bandits during this period, he was also able to take the lead and kill the enemy bravely, and the head of a bandit leader was cut off by Li Shiba. However, after suppressing the bandit, Li Shibai found that there were some meat tickets in the bandit's cottage, and some of them cost tickets.

The meat ticket is a hostage, a hostage used by bandits to blackmail money, and the flower ticket is a woman hostage. There is a seventeen or eighteen girl in the flower ticket, which is very good-looking, and Li Eighteen is very tempting.

The pro-soldier Wang Wu saw Li Eighteen's thoughts, so he plundered the big girl to Li Eighteen's residence, and Wang Wu himself took the opportunity to choose a good-looking woman.

The eldest girl's parents only had this one daughter, and they were heartbroken because their daughter was robbed, and finally heard that the bandits' cottage had been breached, so they went to pick up their daughter, but they were told that their daughter had been taken away by Li 18. The girl's parents went to look for Li 18, but they happened to be met by Wang Wu, who drew a knife and frightened for a while, so he drove the girl's parents back.

In fact, this matter was done very inappropriately, if Li Shibai was patient, waited for the girl to return home, and personally came to the door to ask for marriage, I think the girl's parents must be willing. Because after all, the girl has been in the bandits' nest for some days, and even if she can keep her innocence, her reputation will be gone. However, Li 18's forcible plunder, which was very inappropriate.

The girl's parents went home crying, and everyone in Zhao Zhen knew about it.

After Niu Decao learned about this, he was very angry, and brought people to Zhao Zhen and tied up Li 18 and Wang Wu.

Niu Decao glared at Li Shiba, and his eyes were about to burst into flames. "Rape of a woman is a capital offense, don't you know this!" The cow roared.

Li 18 also secretly regretted it and knelt down. Niu Decao drew his knife and cut off Wang Wu's head with one sword.

Niu Decao took the knife, gestured at Li Shiba's neck, sighed, put the knife down, and yelled at the soldiers, "Lock him up!" ”

If someone else did this, Niu Decao's knife would be unambiguous, but Li Shibai was Li Guo's uncle and brother, and he couldn't write two Li characters in one stroke, which made it difficult for Niu Decao to do.

So, Niu Decao came to Li Twelve and Nie Xin.

Li Guo was furious after hearing this, and slapped his palm on the table, "Li Eighteen dares to be so bold and beheaded!" ”

At this time, a person rushed in from outside the door, knelt down in front of Li Guo, and did not call Li Guohuye, "Brother, Li is still young at eighteen years, please give him another chance." "It turned out to be Li Twelve.

"Twelve, you get up, I know you are in a hurry, how can I not be sad, Eighteen and you are my brothers, but the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that we are now fighting the world, and we are about to win the hearts of the people, if we don't severely punish Li Eighteen, the hard-earned hearts of the people will be gone." Li Guo is also sad.

Li Twelve lowered his head, "I also know that Eighteen has made a big mistake, but as long as he is left with one life, even if he dies on the battlefield in the future, it will be good." ”

"Well, go out first." Li Guo waved his hand, motioned for Nie Xin and Li Twelve to go out, and sat down by himself. Let go of Li Eighteen, out of love, kill Li Eighteen, it is reasonable, what should I do? Li Guo slapped the table heavily, unable to make up his mind for a while.

Outside the door, Li Twelve pounced and knelt down for Nie Xin, "Brother Nie, Li Twelve's life is pleased." ”

Nie Xin sighed, "Li Eighteen first embezzled money and salary, and then robbed the people's daughters, which is not a capital crime?" I think, Master Hu must be going to kill him, otherwise how can he order the whole army? I don't say it will work very well in this matter, you might as well send someone to beg Liu Tichun and your sister-in-law Huang Xiu who stayed in the old camp, maybe things will take a turn for the better. ”
