Chapter 109: Don't Say I'm Sorry, Just Regret
"It must have been done by Li Shi, and that kid's heart is really dark......"
The general soldier's yamen, Bai Daolong glanced at his dilapidated little yamen with nostalgia, the finishing work of the bandit was almost over, and he could finally return to the happy nest in Shaozhou City.
At this time, he was talking to Zhou Ning about Zheng Qi, and Zhou Ning said that he had seen Li Shi in Jinshanxun to rectify Zheng Qi, and then after Zheng Qi's death, Duan Hongshi's appearance and Li Zhushou's movements, he naturally came to a conclusion. Li Shi is the black hand, and Duan Hongshi is the mastermind.
"It's completely different from Zhong Shang, you have to look at him a little more in the future."
Zheng Qi is dead, and he is very happy, but Bai Daolong vaguely feels a little unsteady.
"That kid has the ability to do things better than Zhong Shang, and he is also meticulous and careful in his work, as well as the backstage, this Yingde career, adults should be able to rest assured."
Zhou Ning said this from the bottom of his heart, but there were still some words that he didn't say. When he was in Jinshanxun, he checked the corpses of the six Guangzhou soldiers, two of them should have been shot in the head by a shotgun, and the other four were shot in the head with a spear and two holes.
He didn't have to tell Bai Daolong about this situation, and when he figured it out, he would think about how to make a profit from it.
Bai Daolong nodded: "Well, that's right." It's a pity that he is too young and has no official status, otherwise he can still do some big business with him. ”
After chatting for a while, Bai Daolong was about to leave, when the door came in and reported with a puzzled face: "There are people from Fengtian Village who have come to tell ......."
The disciple was Zhou Ning's subordinate, Zhou Ning waved his hand and scolded: "Have you eaten enough, are you still coming to report?" This is the general soldier's yamen, not the county yamen, a few sticks to drive out! ”
Menzi's eyebrows furrowed like earthworms: "He said that Lord Rong is a bigger official, and ...... What he wants to sue is...... Li Shi. ”
Before following Zhou Ning to Jinshanxun, this man knew that Li Shi was a number one. Bai Daolong and Zhou Ning glanced at each other, also full of puzzlement.
"Villain Tian Qing, sue Li Xian for bloody rebellion!"
The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy knelt on the ground, held a document high, and shouted in a trembling voice, which immediately made Bai Erren feel cold and rebelled!?
"This is their covenant, the villain is forced, and the villain's father is deceived. Villain...... The villain did not ask for silver, but only for the forgiveness of the sins of the villain's father. ”
The arm was raised, but the head was about to hit the ground, he was just an ordinary grass man, not to mention the general soldier, even the Jiupin inspection would kneel.
Bai Daolong twisted his eyebrows and gasped, before he said that this kid is reliable, how can it be another Yang Chun!?
"Prepare to transfer troops!"
He subconsciously treated it as Yang Chun's second, and ordered in a deep voice, wanting to nip the situation in the bud, and this was really like a natural sound in Tian Qing's ears.
Zhou Ning took the letter of alliance, and at first glance, it was a dense red handprint, and his face was gloomy, so many people pressed the handprint, it was really a bad intention.
Just as he was about to greet someone, Menzi came in again, and his face was even more surprised: "Li Xian outside the door asks to see ......"
Well!?
Bai Daolong Zhou Ning's eyes were a little painful, and he said that he rebelled, so he tied himself to the door?
Li Xianke was very leisurely, and he came in with a fan in his hand, and he didn't mean to confess at all. When he saw Bai Daolong and Zhou Ning, he only gave up his hands, and his expression was as relaxed as if he was visiting the door.
is already a suspect in rebellion, and he still sees that the official does not kneel, so arrogant, Bai Daolong's nose is almost crooked, and he is about to call for Li Shi to be tied up left and right, but the corner of his clothes is pulled by Zhou Ning.
"In his hand is Lord Tang's fan, after Zheng Qi's identity was confirmed, I have been wondering how Zheng Qi could have this extra fan, it seems that most of it was Duan Laoxiu who asked for it from Master Tang, this Li Xian...... Maybe it was Lord Tang who called to deal with Zheng Qi, and the rebellion was impossible to ......."
Zhou Ning's whisper made Bai Daolong stunned, and when he looked at it, Li Xi's fan was still covered with a purple flower seal! His mind suddenly kinked, yes, how could this kid rebel?
"Ah...... Hehe...... Li Shi, why are you here? ”
Bai Daolong's kind eyebrows and kind eyes were stretched, and he really had a faint bodhisattva spirit, and he turned his arm and naturally smeared his oily and slippery bald head, whether it was Li Xian who was accused of rebellion, or saw that he didn't kneel, it seemed that he didn't hear or see.
Li Xian smiled: "There is a thief in my Zhuangzi, and the Zhuangren saw him enter the yamen of Lord Bai, and he came to lead people." ”
At this time, he looked at Tian Qing, there was no trace of anger and hatred in his eyes, only heavy pity.
Since the leprosy incident in the mine, he has not paid much attention to this Tian Qing, and he treats him as an ordinary person. insisted on sending an invitation to Liu Rui and Tian Qing before, but for Liu Rui, he was interested in fishing, and for Tian Qing, he thought that Tian Dayou's identity was special, so why should he bring his son in. This time, Liu Rui didn't enter, he found an opportunity to get rid of the matter, Tian Qing didn't enter, it was nothing, as long as he continued to stay in the future, all his undertakings would rise, and he would always enter in the future.
Now that both of them have entered, he knows very well what Liu Rui is thinking, he has given Liu Rui a chance, but he has to take his life to fight for another wealth, so don't blame Li Shi for taking this life.
Unexpectedly, one bait caught two fish, this Tian Qing ...... can fight better than Liu Rui, what is this guy fighting? Just blame Yun Niang's death on him? But this is really the case, but he dragged all the villagers into the water, this Tian Qing's heart...... It's not a pity to die.
Tian Qing was still kneeling on the ground, but he stiffened his neck and looked straight at Li Xian, there was no ordinary panic and evasion in his eyes that occasionally bumped into him, but instead surging with Li Xian's incomprehensible pride, Li Xian could even hear Tian Qing shouting to him, you are finished!
"But this ......"
Bai Daolong was speechless, and he hadn't straightened out this complicated situation yet. Zhou Ning raised the letter of alliance and wanted to say that this Tian Qing has the evidence of your rebellion in his hands.
On the alliance book full of red handprints, a line of big characters flickered, and Zhou Ning's pupils spread again. He carefully read the alliance book, and his face suddenly turned red.
"Mixed ...... Bastard! ”
Zhou Ning suddenly kicked Tian Qing, kicking him into a rolling gourd, and scared Bai Daolong.
"Running to accuse people of rebellion with the letter of protection of the armor! When you are the chief soldier, the yamen is a place for children to play in the sand!? ”
Zhou Ning roared, Bai Daolong almost choked on saliva, what kind of is this!?
"Fork out...... No, tie it up! Smoke half dead and I'll give it to you! ”
After understanding the situation, Bai Daolong was also trembling with anger, and the second half of the sentence was said to Li Xi. Although his own chief soldier yamen is dilapidated, he is also a chief soldier anyway, isn't this playing with him as a fool?
Tian Qing thundered, and it took a while to wake up.
At this time, he hated why he didn't go to Mengxue to recognize a few more words, and he didn't even see what was written in the alliance book.
"My lord! But they really shed blood! The villain is willing to use his surname as a guarantee! ”
He struggled to point at Li Shi, and Zhou Ning shouted in disgust: "What is your life worth? What can I cover? ”
Seeing that this Tian Qing was tied up and wanted to whip, Bai Daolong waved his hand: "Wait......"
He pointed to Li Shi, who was still smiling like a nobody.
"You say, they really shed blood?"
Zhou Ning was stunned, his face eased, he already understood Bai Daolong's intentions, isn't this a good opportunity to manipulate that Li Shi?
There is a difference between a bloody alliance and a real banner against the imperial court, and the key depends on what the covenant is. However, the crime of plotting against each other is nothing more than a decree, and how to do it depends on the skill of the law enforcers. Using this blood without physical evidence to cause Li to die is laborious and uneconomical, and it is simply an idiotic act. What Bai Daolong wanted was just to use this matter as a handle, to be able to rub Li Xian round and flatten, and to be called by the previous dog-legged clock.
Tian Qing was about to speak, but Li Xian coughed, "It's true." ”
Closing the fan and inserting it back into his waist, he said to Bai Daolong: "Bloodshed with the villagers is for mutual assistance and wealth." I still want to have a bloody fight with Mr. Bai Rong and Zhou Shenrong, otherwise I don't have to worry about taking over the business of Zhong Shang's position before. ”
Bai Erren only felt that his heartbeat was disordered, this Li Shi's ability to stir up trouble was really unexpected, whether this was true or what kind of threat, their minds were not able to turn around.
"Haha......"
After a long pause, Bai Daolong laughed again.
"Then there is no need, we are all trustworthy, we made artillery and suppressed bandits before, thanks to you, ...... in the future"
Bai Erren soon sobered up, and it was only the grass people who took the matter of the blood alliance to rectify, what did it matter to these "adults"? Since Li Xi is also an insider, how can he use this matter to manipulate others? When the time comes, Li Shi will break the jar and break it, even the radish with mud, and it is not sure which big man in Beijing will pull the root to the door of the big man in Beijing.
"I have won the award, and I will have to take care of him more in the future."
Li Xi also smiled and groaned, this is his official career of taking over Zhong Shang's position in Bai Daolong, but the positions of the two sides are different from before. It used to be a relationship between the master and the dog, but now it's just a partner.
The two looked at each other and smiled, not taking Tian Qing on the side in their eyes at all, and that Tian Qing was already so shocked that it was difficult to get together, and it was hard to believe that Li Xi could even collude with the general soldiers.
"You have to deal with this kid, be careful in the future, how can you do things without taking care of your subordinates?"
Bai Daolong had a straight face, and he was educating Li Shi with a hard heart, Li Shi was very cooperative and humbly taught, Tian Qing saw it in his eyes, and only felt that the innocent world was completely shattered.
"Good ...... Risk"
On the way back to Lizhuang, Jia Hao stared at Tian Qing hatefully, and was scared. Fortunately, Li Xi had arranged for people to keep an eye on the county yamen and the general army yamen, and when he saw Tian Qing enter the general army yamen, Li Shi almost arrived on his front and back feet.
"What's at stake? Whether it's Bai Daolong or Li Zhushou, they all treat me as a person all the way now, they will never believe that I will rebel, plus the ...... in this guy's hands Evidence, they want to make a fuss about this? Impossible......"
Li Xi thought to himself as he spoke, although he is not famous or official now, he is no longer an ordinary grass citizen.
The so-called blood alliance book did not exist at all, and at that time, everyone was pressing their handprints on the Baojia covenant, originally thinking that they were preparing to deal with the illiterate Liu Rui, or other possible hidden dangers. For those who are literate, he and the five directors have collectively assessed their reliability and believe that they can be trusted.
Unexpectedly, the person who really got this letter of appointment to sue was Tian Qing, who was also illiterate. I was entangled with this kid before, but now I have finally come to an end.
Looking at Tian Qing, who was stiff and had not yet woken up from the shock and confusion, Li Xian shook his head, this was really an accident, I don't know if it was a gain or a loss.
However, the whole thing not only made the covenant really stained with blood, but also allowed Si Wei to carry out an actual combat exercise that integrated into the flood soldiers, and officially put the positions of both sides with Bai Daolong, which is really pulling out a bunch of rabbits, which is very in line with his principles of doing things all along.
"Are you hating me for hurting Yun Niang!?"
When Tian Qing's soul returned to his place, Li Shi only asked Tian Qing this question.
"I hate you because you're going to harm everyone!"
Tian Qing's heart was like ashes, so he only stared at Li Shi resentfully, as if he wanted to burn through Li Shi's heart with his eyes.
"Oh...... Well, if they're all like you, I don't mind all the scourge. ”
Li Xian said lightly, he didn't have any emotional fluctuations about this Tian Qing, and at the moment, all he cared about was Tian Dayu.
"Why!?"
When Tian Dayou learned the news, his eyes suddenly lost focus.
"If it weren't for the fourth brother's arrogance and rushing straight into the general army's yamen, our entire Zhuangzi would have suffered."
Guan Fengsheng came to comfort him, which is a bit strange to say, but his appearance means that it is difficult to avoid it, and Tian Dayou must express his position.
"Why...... This beast! ”
Tian Da's heart was broken, and tears rolled down, both hatred and pain.
"Uncle Tian, things will be done in the mountains, so don't go. As for the future...... I am Uncle Tian's godson. Uncle Tian, you want to marry your mother-in-law, I will do everything, if you don't want to, one of my sons will follow the surname Tian. ”
Li Shi said calmly, pretending to make a gesture, and Yin Tian Daiyu himself said the words of righteous annihilation, which was extreme hypocrisy, and he disdained it, so he directly made a declaration, which is the responsibility that the leader should bear. But Tian Dayou is his core helper, and he must do his best to compensate, the law is the law, and the favor is the favor, which can be regarded as a Chinese tradition.
Tian Dayou opened his mouth weakly, with a little prayer in his eyes, as if there were thousands of heavy words pressing in his heart, at this time, Lin Hewu and others came, and everyone looked at him with concern and apprehension. These gazes held up Tian Dayou's heart that fell into the abyss, but it was like a big net, entangled in it, no matter how difficult it was for him to break free and difficult to speak.
"He, like Yun Niang, is his own life......"
Guan Fengsheng said leisurely, it was not only blood that made an alliance, but also human lives, Guan Fengsheng himself leaked secrets, and gave his life to Li Xi and everyone's consciousness, not to mention that these two people took the initiative to go to the government to complain. He also believed that Tian Dayou had this enlightenment, so he only comforted him, not persuaded him.
"In the next life, don't be reincarnated as a man again...... You can't afford ......."
Tian Dayou saw his son for the last time, and only left this sentence, but Tian Qing was speechless. When Tian Dayou turned around, he hissed: "I want to save you, Dad!" You're crazy! You and everyone are caught up in the madness of Li Yan! ”
Tian Dayou closed his eyes, his eyebrows were rubbed into ravines, "Qing'er...... You're crazy, it's you......"
When he opened his eyes, Tian Dayou looked at the blue sky and muttered to himself sadly: "When you were six years old, your grandfather was beaten and disabled by officials, and died after half a month, you were so scared that you couldn't speak for half a year, and since then you have gone crazy, my son...... Long dead. ”
After a while, Tian Dayou calmed down, and his eyes rose resolutely: "Fourth brother, give him a good time, I won't go, the design of the flintlock machine is at a critical juncture." ”
Under the gaze of everyone, Tian Da walked away steadily.
"Uncle Tian, I did it on purpose, I deliberately fished people like Liu Rui and Tian Qing, if you still have hatred in your heart, I will take it all."
Li Shi looked at his back, and his heart was full of leisurely words.
"But I won't say sorry, I'll just say sorry, it's their own choice......"
Turning his eyes away, he saw a mother and son, snuggling towards the dock, Liu Rui and Tian Qing were tied up and thrown on the boat, and they were about to go where they should go.
"Don't learn from your ......father when you grow up"
"The devil wants to learn from him! I want to learn from Brother Dog, Brother Stone, and Brother Them! ”
The mother's tearful words and the young man's childish voice that was not yet fully sensible floated vaguely, and Li Xi sighed softly.
In the camp of the gold mine, more than 100 people gathered together, looking at the two people tied to the trees in the distance, the scene was silent, only the sound of the whirring wind.
"God has eyes, and God has ears!"
Li Shi's voice suddenly sounded.
"He can hear your prayers, and he can hear your prayers that you want to live well, so I came......"
"He can hear your oaths, and he can hear the covenant you have made with me, so we are here ......"
"God has hands, too!"
Li Xi looked around at the faces of more than 100 people with different expressions, and his voice was not high, but the differences in those faces gradually dissipated.
"He has made me to keep this oath, and I will shed my blood for it, and my hands will be stained with the blood of those who have broken it!"
With his words, everyone's faces turned into the same expression, it was a power overflowing in their hearts, and then flowing on their faces, it was a mixture of awe, awe, and anticipation.
"Execution!"
Li Xian's arm fell, and a row of guards who had already stood still raised their muskets amid the order.
Fluffy ...... The sound of gunfire shattered the tranquility of the mountains, like the thunder of summer.
