Chapter 142: It's time to ask for your life
After Li Xiangliang returned home, he lost his temper in the courtyard, and several maids were inexplicably beaten by him, and even his wives were not spared, and they were severely reprimanded and returned to their own courtyard.
Soon, the Li Mansion formed a consistent tone, stay away from the master, and the master was in a terrible mood.
Li Xiangliang went back to his room angrily, threw himself on the stool and stretched out his hand to widen his neckline a little, and the people who strangle were depressed, and the angry people were depressed.
Suddenly, a rope was put around his neck and he was strangled behind the stool.
Li Xiangliang was bloated, had a lot of fat on his neck, and had a lot of strength, so the assassin didn't strangle him for a while.
Li Xiangliang grabbed the rope with both hands and loosened it, but the rope grabbed his throat and made him speechless and unable to call for help.
It was a stalemate for a long time.
Taking advantage of Li Xiangliang's slow movements, the assassin quickly put a loop around his neck, and was scratched by Li Xiangliang on his hand, leaving several blood marks on the back of his hand.
The assassin took the opportunity to wipe a handful of sweat, increased the strength on his hands, and kicked his feet on the back of Li Xiangliang's chair to help himself.
At first, Li Xiangliang's hands and feet could flutter for a while, but after a long time, there was finally no movement.
His mouth was wide open and he wanted to call for help, his eyes were round, his face was hideous, and his hands were lowered, and he died.
The assassin looked at his palms, which were blurred by the rough lines on the hemp rope, and there were several blood marks on the back of his hands.
The mood was very unhappy: "Dead fatty, it's so troublesome to strangle you!" ”
After speaking, he looked at the corpse as if mocking: "The master said, if you don't do things well, you can't leave you behind, don't stare at me." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the pen and paper in front of Li Xiangliang's corpse and wrote a suicide note in Li Xiangliang's handwriting.
The eight big characters of "If you are an official who is not right, you will apologize for the crime with death" are clearly written on a piece of paper, which is very dazzling.
The assassin patted the dust on his body, and had been hiding under the bed just now, waiting for Li Xiangliang to come back before he did it, and his body was very dirty.
The Assassin took out a longer rope from his bosom and put it on the beam, placed a bench under the rope, and carried Li Xiangliang's crunch nest between his arms, lifted him to the rope, faked suicide, and kicked the stool under Li Xiangliang's feet.
A suicide scene was faked.
The man in black patted the dust on his hands, looked at Li Xiangliang's eerie death and whistled, satisfied with his "masterpiece", opened the door, and the black shadow suddenly jumped onto the beam and disappeared.
At the same time, a side courtyard of the Li Mansion also housed the bewitching girl and Mama Liu of the Jiangnan Teaching Division, who died exactly the same. He was put on a red dress, hanged on the beams of the house with an abominable face, and from the outside of the house, the shadow of the corpse floated in the air like a ghost, back and forth.
Later generations said that Dong Xiaowan was a demon or not in her lifetime, she became a demon after her death, and came to find the person who framed her to ask for her life.
A farce ended in a hurry, and the people behind the scenes didn't even show their faces, and they played a big game of chess on the chess card in Jiangnan.
。。。。。。
In the capital, Leng Feiyan's body was finally carried back to the Leng Mansion, Leng Feiyan was crowned as a heroic general, the coffin was parked in the mansion, and a grand funeral was held, and the coffin was buried on the West Mountain, presided over by the emperor himself.
Leng Zhongjie wore linen and filial piety, and sat in Leng Feiyan's Lingtang for three whole days without eating or drinking, guarding filial piety for him.
After burying his father, he will serve as the commander of the Beizhen Mansion Division, the second position of Jinyiwei, and stand up to this family.
Leng Zhongjie's heart is very complicated, not only the pain of his father's tragic death at the border pass, but also the anxiety of supporting a family, and a little hatred for the emperor and a deep hatred for Mongolia.
But he has to suppress these emotions and be the way an eldest son should be, and be a commander of the Beizhen Prefecture.
Leng Zhongjie's hand rested on his father's coffin, took an anxious breath, and spit it out deeply.
A pair of hands suddenly put on his shoulders, Leng Zhongjie's eyes suddenly turned red, only his father had such a pair of thick and warm hands before, he turned his head slowly, hoping that it was his father's gentle appearance that he would see again.
But what I saw was not my father Leng Feiyan's face.
It was the emperor who was dressed in gold and sparkling in the sun, Jiang Tingshan, and said in a kind tone: "General Leng will be carried to Xishan soon, and this family will have to rely on you to support it in the future, Zhongjie." ”
Leng Zhongjie realized that it was when the emperor suddenly arrived, so he quickly turned around and knelt down, throwing himself to the ground.
There was panic in his voice: "Your Majesty, why did you come suddenly." ”
Jiang Tingshan replied gently: "Tomorrow for your father's funeral ceremony, I re-discussed it with the Ministry of Rites, in addition, I also want to come to see General Leng, he grew up with me when I was a child, and he always had some friendship, and he was my companion when he was young!" ”
When Jiang Tingshan said this, he seemed to remember the age of his general horn banquet, and the way he and Leng Feiyan laughed and played in the master's school, his face softened.
Leng Zhongjie raised his head and looked at such an emperor, as if he forgave him for his decision-making mistake of sending only a small team to Mongolia.
He is an emperor, and what he has to do is to make what cannot be done can be done, can be done, and work miracles from the impossible. Isn't it inevitable that there will be casualties sometimes? It's just that this time it was his father who was killed or injured.
Leng Zhongjie's response to the emperor in his heart has been alleviated a lot with his gentle memories and Leng Feiyan's childlike fun.
Leng Zhongjie's heart warmed a little, and his burden was lighter.
Jiang Tingshan said a few more words about Leng Feiyan's heroic posture when he was young, and his words suddenly changed: "Zhongjie, the Beizhen Mansion Department, is an important institutional center for supervision officials and imperial relatives, I don't just because of your father's death that brought you to this position." ”
"It's the position of the commander of the Beizhen Mansion that needs you to do, and you need to do it, a person who has no worries and only justice and the court in his heart, you ...... Can you understand my painstaking efforts? ”
Jiang Tingshan's heartfelt words completely moved Leng Zhongjie.
Leng Zhongjie instantly cried bitterly and threw himself to the ground, and knelt down at the foot of Jiang Ting Mountain: "The emperor's trust, minister, never give up—"
Jiang Tingshan leaned down and lifted Leng Zhongjie up, facing him face to face: "Zhongjie, with your words, I am relieved." You must remember that in the position of the commander of the Beizhen Prefecture, you are no longer the same person you used to be, and everything must be the first priority of the imperial court, understand? ”
Leng Zhongjie immediately leaned over and arched his hand, and snot flowed out: "——- the minister, remember!" ”
"Good! Okay—" Jiang Tingshan smiled with satisfaction when he saw him like this!
He was afraid that Leng Zhongjie would be upset with him, the emperor, because of Leng Feiyan's matter.
And this person who sits in the command position of the Beizhen Mansion Division must put him, the emperor, above everything.
This is the meaning of the existence of the Beizhen Mansion Division, and he can't let a hairy boy destroy the institution he has worked so hard to maintain.
