Volume 1: Once Upon a Time in the Capital Chapter 141: Purging the Scum
♂
Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.
Why do you always say this? Is it because the kindness that exists in the heart of a good person is itself a kind of fault? Because kindness has more tolerance and understanding, and more regression. This kindness is seen by many as a form of weakness.
The same piece of fine iron is split in half and collides with each other, which is a lose-lose situation. If an egg is compared to a stone, no matter how big the egg is, it is still the losing side.
A good person is like that shell-and-shattering egg.
Li Xiangru pushed open the fence door of the simple courtyard and looked towards the main hall.
The two men guarding the door in the uniforms of the city guards looked at him when they heard the sound. A sturdy man pulled out the big knife at his waist, walked towards him viciously, and scolded and scolded, "Where did you come from, the military master is doing things, get out!"
Li Xiangru's face was very dark, his mood was extremely bad, and a look of anger instantly covered his body.
Dressed in good fur, do all the banditry. It's this group of so-called soldiers in military uniforms, right?
Li Xiangru used to be a soldier, and he hated Loulan's robbery and murder of land in the grass valley, and even more hated the atrocities committed by those scum against some defenseless women and women. This is the scum of the army, burning the city and the Lujia army, and no one dares to violate this military discipline.
A soldier was slightly stunned when he saw Li Xiangru's face, and when he saw Li Xiangru's hand pressing the hilt of the sword, he was even more flustered, he swallowed his saliva and pulled the soldier next to him. Just as he was about to say a few words, a woman's exclamation and crying came from inside the house, and she couldn't help but sweat profusely on her back. The man in front of him, he had seen, a few days ago, he drove a carriage from King Ning's Mansion to personally act as a groom to drive the horse out of the city, and on that day, he happened to be on duty. He didn't know what the identity of the person in front of him was, but he also knew that the person who could drive the carriage of King Ning's Mansion out of the city must be a character like them who couldn't afford to be provoked by a small role.
The man who was being pulled glared dissatisfied, and shouted, "What are you doing?" After breaking free, he raised his knife and slashed at Li Xiangru without saying a word. This kind of murderous action is perfect. If you do something bad and don't want to be exposed, the best thing is to kill people.
The other soldier only felt his legs weak at this time, and he couldn't say a word.
As soon as Li Xiangru's sword scabbard came out, a white rainbow directly slashed through the throat of the soldier.
The mid-sword soldier had an incredulous expression in his eyes and fell to the ground with a bang, his blood stained red and seeped into the dirt over there.
Damn! Damn!
The most nonsense in this world is what is said to some of the damned and mortal people.
Li Xiangru walked forward with a gloomy face, pierced the soldier who wanted to turn around and run away with a sword, and strode into the front hall.
He Da was full of confidence, looking at the beautiful and lovely beauty in front of him, full of evil thoughts, he tore off the woman's underwear and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it happily, and said with a smile, "Little lady, don't resist." Hey...... From the military master, the future process can be exempted from the city tax, and after serving the military master, I may not have to show up to sell vegetables. ”
The woman with her hair in a messy bun looked sad
Angry, pulling the broken clothes on his body to block his exposed chest, his face was helpless, and there was hatred and anger in his eyes. She wanted to shout, not for herself, but for her five-year-old daughter and eight-year-old son. If she dies, the two children will have no relatives. In this chaotic world, it is difficult for orphans and widows to survive.
"This is a mother, a mother of two children!" Li Xiangru stood at the door, looking at He Da coldly.
He Da's eyes were surprised, and when he saw this familiar young man with a sword, the tip of the sword coldly touched the bottom. Thinking of the two subordinates guarding outside, his face became extremely ugly. He's, but he's not the stupid kind of person to the extreme. At this time, this young man was able to stand at the door smoothly and look at each other coldly, and there was only one reason, that is, the two subordinates outside had been killed by this person. With a look of horror in his eyes, he slowly retreated to the wall, pointed his finger at Li Xiangru's face, and said tremblingly, "...... Who am I? Do you know that I am the captain of the city gate...... Lieutenant Wu is my brother-in-law...... Stand down now, and I'll act as if nothing happened!"
Li Xiangru looked at He Da with a sneer, watched him slowly retreat to the corner of the wall and was discarded by him, and watched him perform clumsily. The person who is about to die, but he still does not forget to struggle to the death, and his own skills are not strong enough, but he does not forget to pull out the courage of the person behind him. He took off his robe and slowly walked to the woman's side, put the robe over the woman, and said in a soft voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one will dare to hurt you anymore!"
The woman burst into tears and whimpered. When she was about to open her mouth to remind Li Xiangru of the person behind her, Li Xiangru had already stood up, holding He Dadi's knife between her fingers, sneering, and with a flick of her fingers, the back of the knife immediately slapped towards He Damian's door.
He Da screamed and fell on the bed.
Li Xiangru followed with a teleportation, and his toes went straight to He Dadi's chest, pressing hard. I saw He Da's eyes wide, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with scarlet blood and died.
This kick directly shattered He Da's heart!
The woman seemed to wake up at this time, got up from the ground, and grabbed and kicked He Da who was dead.
Everyone has a devil in their hearts, and when they are oppressed to the extreme, they will explode. When the devil comes out of the heart of such a person, it becomes even more terrible than the devil himself.
Li Xiangru sighed softly, and only when the woman squatted there weakly and wailed and cried, did she come over gently. He directly picked up one of He Da's legs and slowly dragged them to the yard.
Some people need comfort, and they can get out of the haze in comfort. Li Xiangru believed that the woman who dared to push the cart to the door of the division and pulled the bodies of Wang Qing and Mao Ye all the way out of the door did not need to be comforted. Because, she is strong enough in her own right.
The woman calmed down after a moment, wiped away her tears, and walked slowly to the courtyard.
Li Xiangru didn't look back, and also stopped the woman's thanks, frowned at He Da's clothes and chest finger marks left by the scratch, and asked, "Do you know how many people they came, and who saw them come here?"
The woman pursed her lips, looked around, gritted her teeth, and said, "There is no one else, and I am also remote here." ”
"Hmm. Li Xiangru squatted down,
Rummaged through He Da's body, took out a lieutenant's identity card, clapped his hands and stood up, looked back at the woman, and said slowly, "They should just be coming." I'll take care of the body, and I'll take care of the aftermath. However, living here is too remote and uneasy. Would you like to change places?"
The woman pursed her lips, looked at the sky that was about to fall into the night, shook her head, and said, "I can't go." ”
"Why?" Li Xiangru frowned.
The woman stared at Li Xiangru, her eyes slowly became a little cold, stared at Li Xiangru's eyes, and asked rhetorically, "Why, don't you know?"
"Know who I am?" Li Xiangru was a little surprised, but he underestimated the woman.
"I talked to my brother that day, and I happened to come over to bring him food. My brother had never reacted like that, and it just so happened that I heard a part of the conversation. The woman's voice was not emotional, she couldn't say that she hated the person in front of her, and if she wanted to say gratitude, she couldn't have this kind of mood. Her brother will die, and it can be said that Lee Sang-ru is the direct cause. Although I know that my brother has always lived in guilt over the years, living for a living during the day, he always has to get drunk at night, only when he is drunk, his brother will not be surprised by nightmares, only when he is drunk, a big man, an eight-foot man with iron bones, will not cry like a child in the middle of the night. "I don't hate, but I don't appreciate it. My brother is wrong, and if he is wrong, he is wrong. But what I want to know is that there is not a single day in the past five years that he has not lived in self-blame and pain. Every morning when he walks out of the house with vegetables, he politely greets acquaintances he meets on the road, and when he comes back at the end of the market, he still greets his neighbors. However, he never had a true friend, nor was he invited to a banquet at a friend's invitation. ”
Li Xiangru was silent.
What is wrong is wrong, and if you do wrong, you should pay the price. It's not like you can do everything again if you do something wrong and change it later. Wang Qingdi died, and he didn't feel the slightest guilt. He didn't need to explain anything to the woman in front of him, even if the woman wanted revenge, it still didn't matter.
"When my brother came to save me, I didn't want to leave. My wife has been very kind to my family, but I have two children, and I don't want my daughter to die before she has seen the world, and I don't want my three-year-old son to leave this world in a carefree childhood. The little sister's face was sad and bitter, and she couldn't tell whether she was laughing or crying in that face, her voice was hoarse, and she said, "I know, our family is sorry for Lufu." I also know that the world is not beautiful. Madame and Miss are all good people, but the good people of this world are always harmed by those wicked people. However, I have a pair of sons, they are still young, and they are innocent. ”
Li Xiangru raised his head, looked at the corner of the woods, his eyes were cold, and he shouted softly, "Come out!"
A thief-eyed man in the forest walked in with trembling legs, and just arrived in front of Li Xiangru, his legs were weak, kowtowed, and said, "Childe spare your life! Childe spare your life! Villain ......"
Li Xiangru waved his hand, he didn't want to hear any explanation, and he didn't want to blame this person for anything, pointing to the three corpses on the ground, and asked in a cold voice
"Can you handle it?"
The man suddenly nodded his head like a chicken pecking at the rice, and said, "Yes! Yes! I will definitely be able to ensure that this matter will not implicate the family." ”
Li Xiangru nodded and said, "Atonement for the crime, if you don't handle it well, you will weigh the consequences yourself!
"Gongzi Xie!" The man kowtowed a few more times, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked up at Li Xiangru again.
"Drag the body away now!" Li Xiangru sighed, his tone a little tired.
The man nodded for the rest of his life, made a secret whistle, and after a while, three more people came out of the forest. The man beckoned and dragged out the corpses of the three people in the courtyard, leaving one person to clean up the blood stains on the ground and in the house.
Li Xiangru and the woman watched all this silently until everything was dealt with, and the man arched his hand to Li Xiangru, wiped the sweat on his forehead again, and retreated.
These people are the people Li Xiangru arranged to secretly protect the woman. Now that there is such a big thing happening here, they have not dealt with it in time, which is already a dereliction of duty. Even if Li Xiangru killed them, they would have nothing to say.
The one who protects cannot protect all the time for twelve hours, unless that person can always live with the woman and live with them.
