Chapter 55
Knowing that Zheng Wuhu suddenly attacked Li Dengyun, everyone in the main hall was taken aback.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go! Zheng Wuhu's temperament, if he doesn't deal with him, it is really possible to use Shang Fang's sword to behead Lord Li! Xiao Li jumped up from the chair and ran back and forth, Mu Qingling saw this, gritted her teeth, and said to Xiao Lanhuan: "Senior brother, let's go too!" ”
Yu Wenyuan disagreed on the side and said: "The two of Qin Cha and the governor are in the ring, if you don't let me and I won't let you, we can't participate in this matter, what are you doing at a girl's house?" ”
Mu Qingling looked at Xiao Lanwei and said, "I said that I did my best to obey the destiny of heaven, and I always had to do my best." How to deal with the cult case depends on how the matter ends today, and I am not willing to give it a try. ”
Yu Wenyuan still wanted to persuade again, but Xiao Li, who had just run out like a burning buttocks, ran back like a wind, pulled Xiao Lanyu and ran out, and said: "Hurry up, your prince will help me go to the town and town, if I really let Zheng Wuhu cut Master Li with a sword, I don't have to do it!" ”
Xiao Lanwei was obediently pulled away by Xiao Li, and secretly gave Mu Qingling a look before going out to let her follow. Mu Qingling didn't say a word, picked up her skirt and ran out.
Yu Wenyuan couldn't do it, so he had to keep up.
In front of the governor's yamen, a group of ironclad soldiers stood solemnly. Xiao Li rode to the door, turned over and dismounted, and rushed in as soon as he threw the reins. Zheng Wuhu's deputy general at the door saw that Xiao Li was still followed by a long list of people, and wanted to stop him, but Xiao Li ran over and shouted: "King Xiaoyao is here, you dare to stop it?!" Don't die! ”
When the deputy general heard this, he looked back and saw Xiao Lanhuan walking up the steps with Mu Qingling and Yu Wenyuan, and was heading towards the door.
The deputy general was startled, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted Xiao Lanwei.
Xiao Li ran all the way, and when he saw that there was no one in the governor's court, he went around to the official residence behind. From a distance, I heard that the courtyard where the study was located was a little noisy, and knew that Li Dengyun and Zheng Wuhu should be there, so I hurriedly went over.
When he entered the courtyard, he saw Zheng Wuhu holding Shang Fang's sword in his arms, leading a group of soldiers to surround the study. Li Dengyun stood at the door of the study, his face pale. Zhou Qingnian was also there, and he was persuading Zheng Wuhu with a bitter face, how could Qin Cha not handle the case, and first take Shang Fang's sword to make the governor yamen an impermeable reason.
"Lord Zhou doesn't need to say much! Ben is coming today to say a word of accuracy! How did Master Li think about it? When will the government be able to open the case and let Ben escort the prisoners back to Beijing? Zheng Wuhu stared directly at Li Dengyun on the steps and said.
Lee Teng-yun put his hands behind his back and did not give up his momentum at all. The governor of Liangjiang can also be regarded as a feudal official, and the people who can achieve this position are not timid and afraid of things. Although Zheng Wuhu led his troops to surround the governor's yamen and still had Shang Fang's sword in his arms, Li Dengyun was not afraid at all, and asked back: "Then the general has thought about how to deal with those two hundred believers?" ”
Zheng Wuhu frowned and looked at Li Dengyun with displeasure. He was born roughly, and his brow was even more frightening. He felt that he was right, the remnants of the cult were inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blew and reborn. At that time, the imperial court spent a lot of financial and material resources to eliminate the cult, but just like that, in his hometown, there were still news of these evil demons from time to time.
Lee Teng-yun saw that those people were innocent, but he did not think so. The reason why cults are so difficult to eradicate is that they are bewitching people's hearts. It is said that they know people and faces, but they don't know their hearts, and now they are taken into prison, knowing that they have committed crimes and have been caught, they naturally rein in their edge, and they look pitiful.
But who can guarantee what they think in their hearts? It's really repentant, and really knows that you're wrong. Or is it just a temporary hibernation, waiting for the officers and soldiers to withdraw, the dust settles on the matter, and then choose a place where traffic is closed, and start preaching and deceiving people again, and there will be storms again.
"The general has already stated that all the believers involved should be the remnants of Puritanism and beheaded to show the public, so as to set an example! Why do you need to ask again! Zheng Wuhu said in a rough voice.
"General Zheng! You are appointed by the emperor, and you act and handle cases because you follow the law, and you must not be based on personal good or evil! These people are deceived by the cult and do not sin to death! Why do you want to be killed by you! Li Dengyun saw that Zheng Wuhu was still bent on killing, and he was heartbroken.
"General Zheng, Master Li, what are you doing here!" Xiao Li ran into the yard, he ran all the way, and now he couldn't get angry. Came to Zheng Wuhu's side and asked with a pant.
"Don't blame the prince, you and I are ordered to handle the case, but the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Li Dengyun, Lord Li delayed for some reason, and he couldn't, so he had to come to the governor's yamen with Shang Fang's sword and ask Lord Li what he wanted!" Zheng Wuhu didn't even look at Xiao Li, and said coldly.
Xiao Li's head hurt when he saw the sword in Zheng Wuhu's arms, Zheng Wuhu invited Shang Fang's sword out, and he must not be good today.
"What does this official want? This official has been this governor for a day, and he can't let you Zheng Wuhu kill me in Hangzhou because of his own selfish desires! Don't say that you came with Shang Fang's sword today, it is the Holy One's own visit! I'm going to fight for it too! Li Dengyun said angrily.
"This Lee Teng-yun is a character, and he still doesn't let go of his mouth when he looks like this." At the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Lanhuan and Mu Qingling stood outside the crowd, watching everything in front of them. Xiao Lanwei still had the leisure to praise Li Dengyun.
"General Zheng is menacing, and I am afraid that there will be a result today. I'm afraid Master Li won't be able to stand it. Yu Wenyuan, who was standing with Xiao Lanhuan, said that now the focus of the entire governor's yamen is on Zheng Wuhu and Li Dengyun, and the three of them stood aside and watched for a long time, but no one paid attention to them.
Xiao Li, who was standing next to Zheng Wuhu, couldn't cry or laugh, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for taking on such an errand, and persuaded him: "General Zheng, Lord Li, we are all doing things for the emperor, why make such a big fuss, let the people know that the official family still needs to lose face." Let's have something to say......"
Zheng Wuhu didn't wait for Xiao Li to finish speaking, took a step forward, looked at Li Dengyun and said, "Lord Li insisted on not letting the general handle the case?" ”
Li Dengyun didn't give an inch, "This official will not let General Zheng take people's lives!" ”
A cold light flashed in Zheng Wuhu's arms, the sound of the long sword unsheathed was awe-inspiring, Zheng Wuhu's sword pointed at Li Dengyun, and the bright yellow tassels on Shang Fang's sword hung in the air, "I will handle the case with Shang Fang's sword, I can behead the emperor's relatives and relatives, and I can kill a provincial official, Lord Li, I will ask you once, are you letting you go!" ”
"General Zheng!" Zhou Qingnian and Xiao Li exclaimed at the same time, and Li Dengyun looked at Zheng Wuhu coldly, straightened his clothes, walked down the steps, and came to Zheng Wuhu.
The tip of the sword was only an inch away from Li Tengyun's throat, and Li Dengyun said in a deep voice: "This official said that the followers of the Holy Puritan Sect should not be beheaded according to the law!" ”
Zheng Wuhu's eyes were cold, and the wrist holding the sword moved slightly, and he was grabbed by Xiao Li. Xiao Li also lost his good face in the past, frowned at Zheng Wuhu, and said, "General Zheng, the Holy Lord gave you the Shang Fang Sword, not for you to use it against loyal people like Lord Li. Think carefully! General Zheng! ”
"Senior brother, can you do me a favor?" Mu Qingling looked at the imminent scene in the center of the crowd, and suddenly said to Xiao Lanwei. Xiao Lanhuan didn't see the ease just now at this time, her face was slightly gloomy, and she asked, "What are you busy with?" ”
"As far as I know, among the Puritans, there are other children, Li Antai, and others. Can Senior Brother call the shots and bring them all here? Mu Qingling said.
"What do you want to do?" Xiao Lanhuan turned her head to look at Mu Qingling.
Mu Qingling handed the fan in her hand to the maid behind her, and took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve pocket to cover her face, revealing only a pair of firm and calm eyes.
"Does my brother believe me?" Mu Qingling turned her head to look at Xiao Lanling, the eyes of the two met each other, and between the eye contact, the tacit understanding that others could not intervene was secretly born, Xiao Lanling looked at Mu Qingling, suddenly hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, and ordered: "Chang Lin." ”
"The subordinates are here!"
"Take my token, go to the prison and bring all the Shengqing believers under the age of fourteen to the prison, bring them here, as soon as possible!" Xiao Lanwei said. Chang Lin took the order and left.
Yu Wenyuan looked at the two people who seemed to be preparing to do something, felt uneasy, and asked, "Cousin, what are you doing here?" ”
Mu Qingling smiled at Xiao Lanhuan, because Jinpa blocked the lower half of her face, and she could only see a pair of eyes bent into a beautiful crescent shape.
"I'm going to sue!" Mu Qingling turned around, walked through the crowd, and walked towards the center.
