Chapter 597: Death is on the verge of death
Later, Li Wenzao learned that Wang Zhi went ashore to negotiate with Hu Zongxian about recruiting peace. He knew that if the matter of Zhao'an was successful, the overall situation of opening the sea had been decided, and Wang Zhi would wash his name, then most of the business between the two oceans would fall under the control of Wang Zhi and the Yan family. In this way, the Li family not only lost the windfall of fornicating with foreign countries, but also said that Xu Hai and Yan Hong colluded together, and they were afraid that they would take further revenge on themselves. However, Hangzhou's patrol Wang Bengu is a straight man.
Therefore, Li Wenzao devised a poison plan, on the one hand, spreading rumors in front of Wang Bengu, saying that Wang Zhi went ashore to spy on the military situation and pave the way for a large-scale invasion by the Japanese invaders. On the one hand, they colluded with Chen Dong and Ye Ma to spread rumors among the Japanese gang, claiming that Wang Zhi had been killed, and took advantage of the situation to launch an attack on the coast without authorization. In this way, the two sides took advantage of the objective environment of poor intelligence and difficult communication at that time, so that the Japanese and the officers and soldiers hated each other, Wang Bengu took Wang Zhi, and the Japanese invaded the coast of the Kou on a large scale.
Li Wenzao also personally formulated a strategy for the Japanese invaders, with Chen Dong and Ye Ma attacking Ningbo as the main army, Xin Wulang's 5,000 Zhen Japanese raiding Taizhou as a surprise army, and ambushing Geng Shaoquan as the internal response. As for the later learning that Yan Hong went south to supervise the division, Li Wenzao revised his plan and prepared to kill Yan Hong in one go, but Yan Hong didn't want him to confess to this matter, and he had already learned seven or eight points from Geng Shaoquan's confession.
When Yan Hong heard this, he asked again: "So where did Li Wenzao go?" ”
Li Wenxiu said: "After Li Wenzao was defeated in Taizhou, he fled to the sea. Little Lao'er really didn't know where he went. ”
Yan Hong said: "Then why are you hiding in Yangzhou? ”
Li Wenxiu smiled bitterly: "I hate that demon who misunderstood me and threw himself into the net." ”
It turned out that after the defeat of Taizhou, Li Wenzao fled overseas. He even sent letters to Li Wenxiu, Li Jinghu and others. Let them also try to escape to the sea as soon as possible. But wait until Li Wenxiu and the others clean up. When he was about to slip away, he heard that Chen Dong, Ye Ma and others had been defeated on the sea, and Xu Hai's warship was cruising at the mouth of the river. Later, I heard that even the old shipowner's subordinates were blocking the sea route. Li Wenxiu didn't have the courage of Li Wenzao, and his heart beat when he thought of this. At this time, there was a Taoist, who claimed to be Master Pu, who could pinch and calculate, according to the technique of the Five Elements Bagua. It can be regarded as a good luck in Yangzhou. Li Wenxiu also went to the doctor for illness, and when he heard this, he did not risk running to the sea, but ran to Yangzhou instead. He originally thought that this was unexpected, and most of them could be hidden, but who knew that his clues had already been noticed by Hu Zongxian and Jinyiwei's people, and finally he was the turtle in the urn who threw himself into the net.
Yan Hong laughed when he heard it: "Okay, a good master of Pu, help Ben Qincha make a great contribution." What a wonderful person. hated Li Wenzao, but he never listened to his clever calculations and got away from this person. I shall not rejoice my heart. ”
At this time, Li Jinghu, who was beaten and bleeding from his mouth, struggled to wake up again, and said forcefully: "Qincha, you and my uncle have some festivals, but my Li family is now ruined, what are you dissatisfied with?" No matter how big the hatred is, it's time to be angry, right? You are determined to open the sea, full of revenge, and you believe in your heart that my uncle Li Wenzao and others are great evils. But do you know that my uncle went to the sea in the second year of Jiajing. As a result, the princes of the court criticized him verbally and in writing, and even scolded him to his face, comparing him to the bane of the country and the people. Therefore, my uncle was discouraged, so he had to do the same business with peace of mind, earn this silver, and then rely on the silver to make some joints and maintain his strength. When he was dedicated to the country, he was a traitor who was referred to by Qianfu, and he was covered with copper stench. When he really became the kind of person they said, he was a dog and a dog, making money illegally, but instead he became a good person in Jiangnan and timely rain, a first-class good person. Qincha, think about it, what kind of thing is Wang Zhi? He was nothing more than a manager under Xu Dong at the beginning, but now he dares to be called the King of Hui. For his sake, you will make a mortal enmity with our Li family, why bother? Moreover, Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and other generations are from humble backgrounds and scheming, it is not easy to share hardships, and it is even more difficult to be rich and noble. If you help them today, you are afraid that they will come to court, and they will become the root of your bane when they are not restrained. Master Qincha, think about it, why don't you use my Li family as a help? My Li family is a maritime foundation, with a wide range of connections, and with your support, my Li family can compete with Wang Zhi and Xu Hai on the sea. When the time comes, it is better to lay a good foundation for the imperial court than to destroy my Li family? Although he was beaten to the point that his mouth was broken, his tongue was swollen, and his speech was inevitably slurred, he was also eloquent and clear-eyed.
Then Li Wenxiu also had the courage to interject and said: "Yan Qincha, I and Brother Wenzao are both snow-white beards, how many days do we have to live?" Even if you kill me today, it will only make me reincarnate a few days earlier, what is the use? If you leave these lives of my Li family, you can make new contributions to the imperial court. You are good at calculating, don't you understand the gains and losses? My family's best friends are all over the south of the Yangtze River. The opening of the sea is also inseparable from everyone's concerted efforts. Moreover, these big clans in the south of the Yangtze River, who have fornications and who's malpractices, my Wenzao brothers also know everything clearly. As long as you are willing to circumvent our lives, we will explain all these things to you. Have you taken their handle, and are you afraid that they will not listen to you? ”
Wang Cuiqiao listened from the side, clenched her silver teeth, her face turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She hated the two brothers of the Li family to the core, it was they who let themselves fall from heaven to hell, they let themselves fall into the fire pit, and even their innocence was taken away by this pair of sanctimonious beasts. But seeing Li Jinghu and Li Wenxiu talking eloquently here, they can't help but admit it, what they said is not unreasonable.
Brother Hong may be a little infatuated with himself, but how much can this infatuation have? He is a man, a man who does not want to make a career. As for themselves...... Hey, as far as she knows about men, men like the new and hate the old. As long as you get the body of that woman, you will be a Nine Heavens Fairy, and you will quickly become dusty in a man's heart. Besides, Yan Hong is surrounded by beautiful women, how could he really sacrifice such great interests for himself, a woman who is several years older than him?
Perhaps, it will be Yan Hong who personally untied the ropes for the Li family's uncle and nephew, please come and sit down, turn enemies into friends, look at each other with a smile or something, and make a smile and praise this good story. Who is not like this? I heard the gentleman who commented that Zhang Xiu killed Cao Cao's eldest son, and after surrendering, Cao Cao still treated him like this, instead of stabbing Zhang Xiu to death with a sword.
Wang Cuiqiao was thinking about it, but saw that Yan Hong really left his seat, walked towards Li Wenxiu, and said: "The Li family is worthy of being a wealthy family in Jiangnan, and what he said is good." There is no indissoluble hatred between you and me. At least in terms of the benefits you can bring me, it's really nothing. ”
Hearing this, Wang Cuiqiao only felt that his heart was like falling into an ice cave, this little brother at the beginning, his current man, should he also abandon himself? She only felt that the back seemed to be getting stranger and stranger, and her eyes were full of tears for some time.
saw Yan Hong come to Li Wenxiu and raised his hand violently, anyway, it was a few slaps. Although he has never practiced masterful martial arts, after all, he is a young man, even if he loosens the rope, Li Wenxiu, an old man who has cut most of the ground, can't beat him, not to mention that now Li Wenxiu is tied up with all kinds of flowers, and he has no power to fight back. After these slaps, Old Man Li's cheeks were suddenly swollen and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.
Yan Hong turned around and came to Wang Cuiqiao's side, stretched out his hand to grab Wang Cuiqiao's jade wrist and said, "Sister Cuiqiao, the hatred of destroying the door and the hatred of humiliation, you haven't forgotten, and I haven't forgotten either." Today, this old thief Li can't buy his life even if he takes out a mountain of gold and silver! It doesn't matter if he offends me, but if he's your enemy, he must die! ”
Wang Cuiqiao was greatly moved and said, "Brother Hong! He leaned his head on Yan Hong's shoulder, and said in a choked voice: "Brother Hong, even if you kill him, you can't get my innocence back, and you can't get back my whole family's life." If you have this heart, I will be satisfied. You can do whatever you want, you are a person who does great things, and I can't drag you down for my sake. ”
Yan Hong came to Li Wenxiu with Wang Cuiqiao in his arms, ordered Zeng Jizu to take a confession, and said: "Friend Zeng, let this Li Wenxiu press his fingerprints and draw the messenger, it depends on how well you work in Nan Shaolin." ”
Zeng Jizu said: "Sir, don't worry. Reaching out and grabbing Li Wenxiu's hand, he pressed his fingerprints and drew a cross. He is quite good at external skills, and when he deals with an old decay, isn't he able to catch it? When Yan Hong saw that the confession was in his hand, he took out the embroidered spring knife from his waist, handed it to Wang Cuiqiao, and said, "Sister Cuiqiao, you want to relieve the hatred in your heart and kill the enemy with your own hands." Such opportunities are rare in the Ming Dynasty today. When we get Li Wenzao back, we must give him a thousand knives and cut out his heart. Now concoct this Li Wenxiu first! This old ghost is all in your hands. Whether you are Ling Chi or beheaded, it all depends on your pleasure. ”
When Li Wenxiu saw this situation, he was shocked and frightened, and couldn't help but scold: "Huangkou child, ignorant erection!" Those who have achieved great things since ancient times must be broad-minded and tolerant of the four seas in order to achieve great causes. For the sake of your personal cheapness, you will kill my Jiangnan clan! Do you know how many people in Jiangnan officialdom have received the favor of my Li family? How many officials and my Li family are in the same breath and helping each other! They are inconvenient now, and they will not give up with you in the future! And my Wenzao brother, who went overseas, will come back sooner or later to take revenge! Wang Cuiqiao! What if you kill me? The old man is at such an age, and he will not die young, but your red pill was also taken by my brothers, and you are a slut! ”
Wang Cuiqiao was originally holding the knife in both hands, and he was still trembling a little, but when he heard Li Wenxiu mention the past, he couldn't help but cut it down. This knife is not very accurate, and it hits the shoulder. The embroidered spring knife used by Yan Hong was very sharp, and when this knife was slashed, blood suddenly spurted wildly, splashing Wang Cuiqiao's body. (To be continued......)
