Chapter Thirty-Nine: Wu Junfu Kills Li Zhao
Li Zhao returned to the study from the public office and immediately summoned Master Gao.
After telling the things in the hall, he told the master of the high board to burn the account books and get rid of the three records.
Seeing that Master Gao had gone away, Li Zhao took out his silver ticket, looked at it roughly, packed a few more clothes, made a simple package, and hid it under his bed, he had already done it, once something happened to Master Gao, he would immediately abscond.
After Master Gao returned, he asked the county government's kitchen to prepare wine and food, and invited them to come over for a drink in the evening in the name of comforting the three records.
During the banquet, Master Gao changed his previous arrogance, said kind words, and poured wine diligently:
"Come on, come on, a few people have worked hard for this time, you are all people around Lord Thorn Shishi, and you will have to rely on you if you have the opportunity to come to Jianye in the future. I've been looking for an opportunity to invite everyone to have a drink, and I can't get out of it, so I'll give you a glass when I'm free today. ”
After Master Gao finished speaking, he drank a glass first, and the three recorders also politely dried the wine in the glass.
Seeing that the high master book was abnormal, Zhang Chao secretly thought to himself: This high master book is usually high-spirited, but today he is so polite, there must be a demon in the abnormality of things, and see what he wants?
The younger record, with his head, replied to Master Gao: "Master Gao, you're polite, we also respect Lord Li and Master Gao, so please do it for you!" ”
After a tour of wine, Master Gao sighed and said: "Originally, there were still a few days to complete the grain requisition, but I didn't think that the counties of Wu County would make a fuss, Lord Li said, for the sake of safety, I am afraid that the grain requisition will be ended early, and everyone will return to Jianye soon!" ”
When the two of them heard the story, they would soon go home, and they were happy, but they couldn't show it clearly, so they were polite again.
And Zhang Chao remembered what Gu Rong told him at the beginning, and couldn't help but guess in his heart: "Once something happens to the grain requisition, Li Zhao will definitely kill people and kill people, this master invites us to drink for no reason, it won't be that he wants to get us drunk today and want our lives, this heart of defense is indispensable." ”
So Zhang Chao pretended to be drunk when he was almost drunk, and slumped on the table, Gao Zhushu saw Zhang Chao drunk, and he was not sure if he was really not strong enough to drink, so he stepped forward and pushed Zhang Chao: "Zhang Lushi, get up, this little wine can't get drunk, Zhang Lushi, get up and continue to drink!" ”
After speaking, he secretly twisted Zhang Chao with his hand.
I saw Zhang Chao raise his hand very laboriously, and muttered vaguely: "Well, drink, who said I was drunk, drink ......." But this hand just raised a little and hung down, and then fell asleep.
Master Gao looked at Zhang Chao, who was like soft mud, and was not sure if Zhang Chao was really drunk, so he deliberately quipped: "I didn't drink much in this record, why are you drunk?" ”
The forty-year-old, skinny record said with a smile: "Zhang Lushi is a shallow drinker, I have been with him for many years, and every time he is the first to get drunk, if he is not strange." He poured us and drank it, and I toasted you. ”
When Master Gao saw that he was drunk, he had a smile on his face, hypocritically said polite words, and deliberately chatted with the three recorders about some family life, and kept persuading them to drink while talking, so the two recorders were drunk one after another.
They didn't know that the pot used by the high master book was the mandarin duck turning heart pot, they drank wine, and the high master book drank water.
Seeing that the three records had fallen, Master Gao pushed them one by one, and after making sure that the three records were drunk and unconscious, he opened the door and looked around the inner courtyard.
After making sure that there was no one outside, he went into the inner room and took out all the boxes with the account books, and poured some fire oil on the boxes and the house, preparing to set a fire, in a vain attempt to destroy the account books, and also to use the fire to kill the drunken records that could not escape.
Just when Master Gao picked up the candle flame and was about to throw it on the ground, Zhang Chao suddenly woke up and smashed Master Gao unconscious while he didn't have a spare wine jar, and then Zhang Chao ran to the north corner of the backyard and shouted: "Master Gu, save me, save me....."
I saw Xiu Wuji and Zhou Rong appear, and then several plain-clothed messengers also appeared and jumped into the backyard of the county government.
At this time, the candle flame had already lit the house, the fire began to spread, and seeing that the fire was about to burn, Wuji and Zhou Rong quickly jumped into the house, quickly took off their coats, covered the box that had been lit, and lifted the box out.
The plain-clothed messenger quickly jumped into the room and racked the two recordings out of the room.
A few people came to the courtyard, Wuji opened the box, fortunately only part of the account book inside was smoked, and it was not burned, Wuji first asked Zhang Chao to confirm whether it was Li Zhao's actual account of the grain.
After getting Zhang Chao's affirmation, Wuji walked into the courtyard and sent an arrow signal to the sky, and Wang Qing, who was lurking outside, saw the signal and rushed in with people.
Soon Wang Qing controlled the mansion, the high master book had been tied up by Xiu Wujian at this time, the box containing the account book was also protected by the soldiers, and the two drunken records were put up and arranged to return to the residence.
At this time, after Li Zhao heard the signal, he felt that the situation was not good, tied the soft that had already been packed to his body, took off the sword on the wall, walked out of the house, and prepared to jump on the roof to escape.
Li Zhaogang jumped onto the roof, and in his hurry, he was kicked off without paying attention.
I saw Yang Zheng jumping from the roof, Li Zhao saw that it was Yang Zheng, and he already understood it in his heart, so he fought with Yang Zheng everywhere.
At this time, Wuji and Zhou Rong also came to the front yard from the backyard, Li Zhao was quickly defeated, and was locked by Xiu Wuji with a sword, and Yang Zheng came up and pressed him to the ground.
At this time, Sima Jingwen walked over with a lofty spirit, followed by Wang Qing and Hu Chong.
Li Zhao saw King Langya coming over, and wanted to struggle unconvinced, but was held down by Xiu Wuji and Yang Zheng, unable to move, so he could only reluctantly raise his head and say:
"King Langya, this official is the general of the imperial court, and he is also the imperial history of the grain governor of His Majesty and Niangniang, you are just ordered to investigate the Huaiyin grain loss case, although you are General Anton, this official does have the responsibility of not being strict under the rule, but without the will of the imperial court, you cannot dispose of the imperial court officials at will!"
The corners of Sima Jingwen's mouth rose slightly, and he glanced at Li Zhao on the ground: "The rule is not strict?" Do you want a holy decree, this king never does something that he is not sure of! ”
At this time, Zhang Chao stepped forward from behind, bowed deeply to Sima Jingwen and said, "The villain Zhang Chao sees the King of Langya, can you allow the villain to come forward and say a word to Li Zhao?" ”
Sima Jingwen nodded.
I saw Zhang Chao step forward, lean down and say to Li Zhao: "Master Li, do you know who I am?" ”
Li Zhao was pressed to the ground, as if he understood that Zhang Chao had done the internal response of King Langya, his eyes were red, and his body was twisted.
Zhang Chao's eyes were full of hatred, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Li, hum!" should call you Gaoba, do you remember that twenty years ago, a father and son surnamed Zhang were robbed and killed by you in Jingzhou? That's my father and brother. ”
At this time, Li Zhao, with hideous eyes, laughed and said: "I don't remember what father and son surnamed Zhang are, there are many unjust ghosts who died under the knife of our family, and you all have the ability to take revenge." ”
"Gao Ba, back then, you were full of murder and evil, maybe you don't remember the people you killed at all, but in the past twenty years, I don't dare to forget my father and brother who died tragically, I only hate myself for not being able to kill the enemy. Now your evil retribution has come. ”
After Zhang Chao finished speaking, he stood up, his eyes were full of tears, and he took a long breath, as a literati, maybe this is his most painful way to express it.
And Yang Zheng is different, he pressed Li Zhao to death, lifted the sword in his hand, he had nothing to say to Li Zhao, he only wanted his life, killing Li Zhao with his own hands is Yang Zheng's wish over the years, how Li Zhao cut off his master's head, he wanted to cut off his head.
At this time, Li Zhao struggled to his body, twisted his head and glared at Yang Zheng, and then shouted at Sima Jingwen: "King Langya, you declare personal vendetta, you harbor the rebel party, he is Yang ......"
Before Li Zhao could finish speaking, his throat was cut by Yang Zheng's sword, and Li Zhao grunted twice in his throat, and blood spurted out.........
Then Yang Zheng cut off Li Zhao's head!
"Wang Qing, you and Master Hu should deal with the aftermath." Sima Jingwen's face was expressionless, he glanced coldly at Li Zhao's headless corpse, and walked towards the outside of the mansion.
"No"! Wang Qingying said.
Seeing King Langya walking out of the gate, Hu Chong cautiously asked Wang Qing: "General Wang, what do you think should happen to this matter?" ”
"Li Zhao was greedy for not requisitioning grain, and the matter was revealed to be trying to kill people and kill people, resisting arrest and resistance, and being killed!"
