12-31 Wild Boar Forest

The prisoner car went out of Jinan City, walking on the newly built road, this road was still repaired after Shi Kefa was promoted to governor, the road was paved with yellow sand and gravel, and drainage ditches were dug on both sides of the road, which could be passed on sunny and rainy days, such roads can be seen everywhere in Shandong, and it is also one of the practical things he did for the local people.

The road ahead is long, it seems to be endless, the prisoner car is modified from a civilian vehicle, and a station cage is added to the car board, it is very simple, and the horse pulling the cart is also old and unbearable, and the pace is slow, I really don't know how the imperial court can use such a prisoner car thousands of miles away to lock up the local officials.

Shi Kefa didn't have the heart to think about those trivial things, he was shocked and moved by what happened just now, he didn't expect the people to risk their lives to rescue themselves, and it was not in vain to do this for the officials, but this kind of behavior that disrupted the normal social order was not approved by Shi Kefa, and he then thought of the officers and soldiers who were killed, these people went all the way to go on errands, but they died in a foreign land, and their wives and children at home did not know, it was really pitiful to think about.

Thinking about it, I thought of my own head, for his own prospects, Shi Kefa is not worried, because he has a cabinet auxiliary, Donglin party leader Qian Qianyi covered, three years ago that morning, Qian Ge Lao on the tower of Dabao'en Temple explained his task, broke into Liu Ziguang's group, infiltrated his decision-making core, observed his words and deeds, and controlled Liu Ziguang's base in Shandong, so as to contain it when Liu Ziguang became Cao Cao, this task Shi Kefa only completed half, Because Liu Ziguang does not have his own staff team at all, even if he is a two-handed scholar like Shi Kefa, a peerless talent, in addition to normal work contacts, there is no superfluous contact at all, but Shi Kefa did not live up to Qian Qianyi's expectations, he governed Shandong very well, except for Qingdao, other prefectures and counties are quite stable, and will never rebel.

It is precisely because Liu Ziguang did not cultivate his own staff team that Shi Kefa firmly believes that he was indeed wronged, but what about being wronged, Liu Ziguang's power is too great, even if he does not do Cao Cao, he will definitely be Huo Guang, and the appearance of any powerful minister is not a good thing for the court society, so Shi Kefa will drug Liu Ziguang, he is not for his own promotion, but for the stability of the country and the safety of the people.

Liu Ziguang fled, Shi Kefa was not surprised, this person is too magical, nothing is too much to be born on him, but I am afraid that the world will be in chaos, which Shi Kefa does not want to see.

Unconsciously, it has reached noon, the prisoner car team did not go far, but to the place of twenty miles east of Jinan, surrounded by mountains in the south of Jinan City, to the south are through Changqing County in the East, here is the boundary of Changqing, when the Apocalypse is fifteen years, the railway has been repaired to Jinan, most of the merchants who come and go from the south to the north choose railway traffic or canal waterway, and most of the people who take the dry road are the local people, it is noon, people are eating and resting at home, so there are few pedestrians on the road.

The prisoner cart stopped next to a small forest on the side of the road, the officers and soldiers tied their horses, went into the woods to soak their urine, and then came out to eat, and the leading petty officer asked Shi Kefa to take the bread and salted meat to eat, but it was very inconvenient for the prisoner to take the shackles to eat, so he asked the soldiers to untie the shackles.

Shi Kefa hurriedly said: "I can't help it, how can the seal of the imperial court be untied without authorization." ”

The officer smiled: "It's okay, Master Shi has to eat, eat this meal and hurry on the road." After that, the commander tore the seal and untied the wooden shackles.

Shi Kefa was eating bread and bacon in this box, the soldiers in that box had already begun to dig the pit, the little officer took out a steel knife and polished it with a piece of oil stone, although Shi Kefa was pedantic, but not stupid, he stopped his chopsticks and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Don't do anything, send you on the road, and if you hurry up, you can meet my brothers." The officer threw the oil stone away, touched the knife edge with his finger, and the wind was fast!

"Master Shi, please."

Shi Kefa was furious: "You are bold! I am a second-grade master, who dares to kill me without being convicted by Dali Temple! Whose orders are you under your command? ”

The little officer said: "Okay, then let you die and understand, killing you is a warrant personally issued by Gonggong Wei of Qinmi, and the emperor is willing." ”

"Full of firewood! The holy decree is clearly written to escort me into Beijing, you are not afraid of the court to punish the ministers? ”

The little officer spat disdainfully, "Sour Ding, okay, you are dying anyway, Lao Tzu will tell you to make it clear, Mingli is going to escort you to Beijing Dali Temple for trial, that is just an official article, the emperor has to cut through the mess quickly, special affairs, for Liu Ziguang's henchmen would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, now you are satisfied, right?" ”

After speaking, he waved the steel knife and aimed at Shi Kefa's neck.

When death was approaching, Shi Kefa couldn't care about any secrets, and he shouted: "Wait! To tell you the truth, I am Qian Ge Lao's person, if you kill me, Qian Ge Lao will definitely not let you go. ”

The little officer sneered: "You still don't believe that you are pedantic, it's because you are the old man of the Qian Pavilion that I want to kill you, and you don't want to think about it, can our Father-in-law Wei urinate in the same pot with the old man of the Qian Pavilion, don't talk nonsense, suffer death!" ”

The steel knife was raised high, shining brightly in the noon sun, Shi Kefa knew that his death was coming, he closed his eyes in pain, and the past came to mind one by one, Qian Qianyi may not know about killing himself, but he kept silent, which can only show that he and Wei Zhongxian have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and exchanged his death for some benefits. Politics is so dark, I unknowingly fell victim to the intrigue between powerful ministers.

The steel knife slashed down with the whirring wind, but it didn't fall on Shi Kefa's neck, only a crisp sound was heard, and then there was a heart-rending scream, Shi Kefa opened his eyes and looked up, the steel knife had flown to the big tree, still shaking slightly, and the person who was going to kill him was lying ten steps away with blood from the corner of his mouth, a piece of deflated on his chest, and it seemed that he had suffered extremely serious internal injuries, and suddenly there was another person in front of him, the sun was dazzling, and a gold edge was inlaid on his body, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, Shi Kefa squinted and couldn't see this person's eyebrows clearly, but his figure was very familiar, who else could it be if it wasn't Liu Ziguang, who had just escaped from his hands.

The soldiers were so frightened that they gathered their swords and guns around them and asked, "Who are you?" Dare to go against Chinmis? ”

Liu Ziguang looked up to the sky and laughed: "I'm the Liu Ziguang you are looking for, come, come and arrest me if you are brave enough." ”

Liu Ziguang is famous, not to mention the thirty or so soldiers in this area, even in the army of ten thousand horses, they come and go freely, these soldiers are very self-aware, without saying a word, they dropped their knives and guns and lifted the wounded to hug their heads and run away.

Liu Ziguang didn't chase after him, he tore off the iron chain on Shi Kefa's body three times and two times, and said: "I saw Master Shi being arrested in the city, and I knew that things were not good, so I followed and protected, and sure enough, the gelding dog is really going to attack you." ”

Shi Kefa was ashamed, Liu Ziguang was a big-minded hero in the end, and he didn't mention the unhappiness of last night's life, not only did he not remember the old evils, but he also risked exposing his deeds to save himself, and this kindness is afraid that it will be difficult to repay in this life.

Seeing Shi Kefa's gloomy expression and speechlessness, Liu Ziguang said again: "Now that Master Shi has a home, I don't know what to do next." ”

Shi Kefa said: "Only wandering the world alone." ”

Liu Ziguang sneered: "Is this the Shi Kefa I know?" Where is the enthusiasm to serve the country? Can such a small setback make you discouraged? ”

Shi Kefa raised his head sharply: "If you want me to assist you in rebelling against the imperial court, I would rather do so." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "Who said I was going to rebel against the imperial court? It seems that although you have studied me for many years, you still don't know me at all, I would rather the world bear me, than the world, I save you, is to miss your love for the people and a talent, this Ming Dynasty can no longer tolerate you and me, it is better to go thousands of miles overseas to open up a new world, there are also Chinese children, Yan and Huang descendants, Shi Daren can show his strengths. When the court finds out the truth and returns Lord Shi's innocence, Lord Shi can still return to his hometown, isn't this the best of both worlds? ”

Liu Ziguang's words deeply moved Shi Kefa, and in the current situation, this seemed to be the best way out, he gritted his teeth and finally nodded.

On the vast land of Shandong, two fast horses are galloping towards the east, and the sunset is far behind, this is Shi Kefa and Liu Ziguang who escaped death, behind them are dozens of followers, and Zhang Daniu, a thousand one-armed households, is also among them, God knows how Liu Ziguang is so capable, he can get these people out of the heavily guarded Jinan Mansion, this problem Shi Kefa can't figure out, and he doesn't need to figure it out, what he is doing now can only follow.

In less than two days, a group of people rushed to the outside of Qingdao City, the waves crashed on the shore, the lonely city stood, the snow-white flag of a water at the head of the city whimpered in the wind, this is the military port for their handsome filial piety, when they were moving forward, more than a dozen strong men with weeds tied to their bodies and oil paint on their faces suddenly jumped out on both sides of the road, and they blocked the way with a fire gun equipped with bayonets, and shouted: "Stop! One more step forward and I'll kill you! ”

The guards behind Liu Ziguang hurriedly rushed up to block the marshal, and Zhang Daniu said loudly: "The first-class Zhenguo Duke of the Ming Dynasty, the prince Shaobao, and the generalissimo of the Red Shirt Army have arrived, and you have not yet taken the car." ”

This was a group of sailors who were ambushed on the main traffic routes, specially monitoring people from the mainland, and they were all stunned when they heard Zhang Daniu's words.

"Which town is the prince? Which one is handsome? ”

"Nonsense! There is only one Liu Dashuai in our Red Shirts, which one else can there be. Zhang Daniu reprimanded dissatisfiedly.

"It's true that Ben Shuai has arrived." Liu Ziguang pushed aside everyone, lightly clamped the horse's belly and came out from behind, the brave men had seen Liu Ziguang when they were training, and at this time, they saw the rumored handsome who had been killed alive in front of them, and they were speechless with excitement, and they were stunned for a long time before kneeling down.

"Greetings!"

A moment later, Qingdao City received a call from the scout, in an instant, the white flag on the head of the city was swept away, turned into a bright red military flag, the city defense cannon fired 32 empty cannons to the sky, this is the military salute to welcome the distinguished guests, and then the gunboats and ships in the port also sounded the whistle, the four gates of Qingdao City were opened, and countless soldiers and civilians flocked out, thundering with joy, and rushed towards Liu Ziguang.
