Chapter XXVII
Lixia's answer made Li Su break out in a cold sweat.
Those who harbor are guilty of the same crime.
Although, he didn't say it explicitly that he wanted to shield Humpty Dumpty, but if it was...... If Ling Jun had to embarrass him and condemn him to the same crime, the Li family would never offend Ling Jun for such an unfavored concubine as him now, when Ling Jun lost power......
He didn't want to die.
He was unwilling, he was cautious, at the expense of dignity, kneeling on his knees so far, seeing the fruits that could be obtained, so he put it into flowing water.
He had to make his attitude clear.
You must, before Ling Jun convicts him, show him his determination, and, draw a line with this damn fat man!
"Born in a vegetarian family."
"His status is low, and he has not been the head of the family since he was a child."
is in a hurry, as cunning as Li Su, it is naturally not difficult to think of the trick of winning sympathy with his identity.
Thinking that Ling Jun was born in the capital, and he was not taken care of by Emperor Longqing when he was young, he should be able to "understand" his pity, so he hurriedly moved out of his identity as the concubine of the Li family and cried to him about his past situation.
"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of the jokes of His Royal Highness."
"When I first joined the army, I couldn't even write my own name, and to this day, I can only read the military emergency report."
"It is beyond the reach of a person to delve into such a profound existence as the law."
Li Su's eyes were red as he spoke, as if these apologies reminded him of a painful past that he was extremely reluctant to mention.
It's just that as a man and as a soldier, he can't cry, so he tries his best to endure it.
"The only law that Su Pingsheng knows in his life is military law."
"If His Royal Highness thinks that Su's words and deeds are the act of shielding the wicked, Su, he is willing to be punished!"
Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of rats will make holes.
Li Su, after all, is the son of Li Ming, and the descendant of the Li family who is good at drilling.
With a move to retreat, he completely brushed himself and Humpty Dumpty clean.
"I'll just say that it is impossible for a person as smart as De Pingbo to give birth to younger generations who don't know the general situation."
"It turns out that I misunderstood the young master of the Li family?"
Ling Jun refers to himself as "I", rather than the previous "main hall", which seems to ordinary people to be just a change of title, and there is no difference.
But for Li Su, who was born in a family of eunuchs, this is not the case.
One is a person, the other is an identity.
Calling oneself by identity means that the imperial power is noble and insurmountable, but if it is a person, it is very different......
"Although Su was born in a family, he knows the hardships of the people."
"Wake up three times a day, lest words and deeds hurt the people."
"Although I didn't know the dignity of my wife before, I didn't have the slightest protection for this villain, and I wanted to escort him back to the camp to punish him, so as to prevent him from causing another incident and increasing the resentment of the people, but unexpectedly, he provoked the anger of the Third Highness and misunderstood what he had done."
"Pansan His Highness Mingjian."
Li Su knew that Ling Jun was giving him a chance.
Or rather, to give him a way out.
If he does not know how to grasp it and does not take a stand as soon as possible, this opportunity will be fleeting.
Who is willing to die if they can live?
The so-called dreams, dignity, and glory of the world are just for the sake of living more comfortably, and even if someone really dies for them, they must be forced to do it.
Dead.
Let Li Su sit on pins and needles in the dead silence.
Ling Jun seemed to be seriously thinking about what he said, thinking about whether to accept his overtures, and the others, at the right time, chose to shut up.
Li Su never felt that the winter in Jiangnan was so cold.
The Northeast camp, which was more than a foot thicker than the snow, was several times colder, as if it was going to freeze his bones and blow them into dust.
Time whistling by like a cold wind in the north.
Finally, Lingjun seemed to have suddenly figured it out, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it.
"Okay."
"Those who don't know are not to blame."
"This matter, read that you don't understand the law, and you are a first offense, so you will pass it over."
Ling Jun said "generously" and no longer blamed Li Su.
He understands the Li family and is more familiar with Depingbo Li Ming's methods of doing things.
It is true that his Li family does not have the courage to usurp the throne, but its ambition is not just a shriveled title without half an inch of fiefdom.
Reducing the wings of the Li family is something he has already included in the plan, and his "laissez-faire" today is just to eradicate the Li family more thoroughly in the future.
"His Royal Highness Xie San is magnanimous!"
Knowing that he had no worries about his life, Li Su was busy thanking Ling Jun with a smile on his face.
"This villain, His Royal Highness can just take it away, and on the side of the principal, Li Suzi will tell him the truth of the matter in detail!"
glared at Humpty Dumpty fiercely, Li Su didn't talk about his friendship at all, and "sold" Humpty Dumpty to Ling Jun.
He also hated this Humpty Dumpty.
It's just that after drinking a few meals of his wine, he almost took his life because of these drinks.
This kind of business is really not cost-effective.
"Originally, I just thought that the young master of the Li family didn't understand the law of the country."
"Now, listening to you talk like this, I know that you don't even have a detailed understanding of military law."
What Ling Jun hopes is that the Jiangnan camp will be divided into multiple factions that contain each other, so that he can break them one by one and close them one by one, not just the head of a dispensable bedbug.
This Li Su, although he is only a lieutenant and the main general, is not qualified to be a figure in front of him, but behind him is Depingbofu.
Of course, the people of Depingbo Mansion are prosperous, and the concubines who cannot be valued can be abandoned at any time.
But if he plans a little, let this Li Su become a good friend of him Zhu Lingjun......
Sharp and dizzy.
He doesn't believe that Depingbo Li Ming, who has an almost pathological attachment to power and status, will let go of the possibility of befriending him now that Ling is losing power!
Ling Jun's words made Li Su a little confused.
Before, he had clearly stated that he would not pursue himself, and, judging from his current tone, he had no intention of repenting.
He......
"Tell the son of the Li family, why I said that he did not understand the military law in detail."
Glancing at Humpty Dumpty, who was wriggling like maggots, Ling Jun moved two more steps to his position in disgust.
He was afraid that he couldn't help but be disgusted, so he slashed this filthy thing with a knife.
"If the rule is not strict, it should be punished severely."
"Those who connive at their subordinates to do evil and hurt the people will be demoted to three levels, and those who insult the imperial power will be demoted to commoners."
Lixia, who grew up in the northwest camp, can be said to have memorized military law backwards.
Listening to Ling Jun's inquiry with himself, he hurriedly stepped forward, and recited the military order that Ling Jun wanted to hear.
Dare to hurt her wife, the main thing in the Jiangnan camp is also a good life!
"Go and tell the man in charge of the camp."
"I need to see his attitude before sunset, otherwise ......"
Otherwise, Ling Jun did not say it explicitly.
But as long as the person in charge of the Jiangnan camp is not a fool, he will not fail to understand what will happen to him.
"The people who are in the top position are not as stable as those who are from a family."
"If it were you, you wouldn't make such a mistake."
Ling Jun sighed, approached Li Su, stretched out his right hand, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said pointedly.
……
"This straw hut is closed."
"I blamed her for being kind-hearted and shouldn't do more of this, but she refused to listen."
"Now, good intentions have been exchanged for evil retribution, what a hard time!"
Before leaving, Ling Jun glanced back at the grass shed not far away, and his footsteps stopped for a while, as if he was unhappy with Liu's "eventful" heart.
"But ......"
If it was ordinary, Sister-in-law Jiang would definitely support Ling Jun's decision.
But just now, before Liu Qingxin fainted, he deliberately explained to her.
"But what?"
Sister-in-law Jiang's reaction made Ling Jun hesitate slightly.
She is the righteous daughter of General Jiang, there is no doubt that she is "her own person", and she should not give herself face at such a time.
Could it be that Liu was light-hearted and gave her some instructions in private?
"Back to the third master's words."
"Before Madame fainted, she specially instructed her subordinates that no matter what the third master's attitude was, this grass shed would be opened at least until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month before it was allowed to be removed."
Sister-in-law Jiang, who grew up with the old lady, is naturally not stupid, but until now, she still can't understand the purpose of Liu Qingxin's orders.
She just doesn't like to fight with others, she is not stupid and stupid, and she doesn't know the world.
"Madame said that the general's immorality is not the fault of the soldiers."
"It's really a pity that these tiger ben people who protect the stability of our society can't even return home for the New Year's Festival and reunite with their parents, wives and children."
"I'm just waiting for a modest amount of money to give them some dumplings and rice crackers to relieve their homesickness."
"If even this has to be withdrawn for fear of the provocation of the villains, in the future, who else is willing to join the army, and who else is willing to serve my great foundation?"
At that time, Liu Qingxin was so dizzy, how could he have the leisure to tell Sister-in-law Jiang so many sensational words?
She just took advantage of her sober to explain to Sister-in-law Jiang that the grass shed would be opened until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Sister-in-law Jiang's words made the eyes of many soldiers present red-eyed.
It's the New Year's Festival, and they are reunited everywhere, how can they miss home?
The prospective princess of the three princes, who was kind and benevolent, sympathized with their suffering, and specially prepared hometown food for them to comfort their homesickness, but ......
Wrath.
It seems that at this moment, like a torrent of embankments, rushing down.
The dissatisfaction with the current principal, which was extremely suppressed before, also broke out at this time.
"Severely punish the villains and give an explanation to the three princesses!"
A soldier standing behind Li Su suddenly threw away the spear in his hand and roared angrily.
"The villains will not be eliminated, and the blades will not be wielded!"
Another soldier also threw away the spear in his hand and rubbed the corner of his eye vigorously with the back of his hairy hand.
Since he was a child, his father taught him that men don't flick when they have tears, he doesn't want to cry, at least, he doesn't want to be here, let his colleagues see him cry.
"The villains will not be eliminated, and the blades will not be wielded!"
"The villains will not be eliminated, and the blades will not be wielded!"
……
Some people take the lead, and some people follow suit.
The soldiers who had swords and spears in their hands dropped their weapons one after another and raised their arms to shout.
The loud sound like a bell slowly converged, and finally, it came together.
The camp in Jiangnan was alarmed.
The soldiers and generals who were puzzled about the situation poured out one after another, and many of them had eaten dumplings and rice crackers in the grass hut, and they were grateful to Liu Qingxin, a "mysterious woman" who had never met.
Hearing that she was slapped for no reason, she was injured and unconscious, but she still told her subordinates to open the grass shed for them until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Many people clenched their fists in anger.
They are all bloody men who know how to repay their kindness.
How can they endure the wicked who hurt those who have been gracious to them?
More and more people are discarding their weapons and joining the ranks of demanding severe punishment for the villains.
Some soldiers who had time to go to the straw hut in the future and receive dumplings and rice crackers were also infected, and their attitudes were firm, and they stood on the side of the demand for severe punishment of the villains.
The Jiangnan battalion has 230,000 soldiers.
There are nearly 200,000 who are not allowed to return home for the New Year.
Except for the die-hard and timid people of some generals, the scale of more than 100,000 people, not to mention the head of the Jiangnan camp, even the Longqing Emperor, who was far away in Yanjing, did not dare to put it on the shelf.
Exhort.
Threat.
Wooing.
The head of the Jiangnan battalion, who exhausted the means of his diehard loyalists and still couldn't calm the situation, finally couldn't sit still.
"Someone!"
"Prepare the wattle!"
"I, I'm going to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and I'm sorry!"
When he said this, the voice of the head of the Jiangnan camp was trembling.
He relied on clinging to the Deping Bo Mansion to rise to prominence, and his courage and strategy were not proud.
He originally thought that this was just a farce that was not difficult to clean up, and that he threatened to promise some benefits to the leader as usual, so that the situation could be calmed down, but unexpectedly, ten people were sent out, and only one came back, and the one who came back did not bring him good news!
The royal family, he can't afford to offend.
Don't say that the royal family is the Deping Bo Mansion, and he doesn't have the guts to offend!
If he was not well governed, he was disliked by the Deping Bo Mansion......
By this time, he had hated Humpty Dumpty for causing him trouble.
I just hate it, and I can't break that Humpty Dumpty into pieces.
"General, I'm afraid this matter will not be good."
"The fat man knows everything......"
It was the cousin of the principal who spoke, and he got the nickname "Scarface" because of a horizontal scar on his face that ran through his forehead.
This person left home with the principal and enlisted in the army in the same year, so it can be said that he is his most loyal loyalist.
Scarface said as he made a gesture to wipe his neck with a gesture towards his neck.
"I'll find a chance to shut him up completely."
The principal sighed a little annoyed, unbuckled his belt, took off his shirt, and motioned for Scarface to help him tie the wattle strip to his back.
The winter in the south of the Yangtze River is not as cold as the north, but with the damp cold, it is more uncomfortable than the biting cold wind.
The curtain of the door shook, the cold wind took advantage of the weakness to enter, and the person who was bare-chested and bareback shivered unconsciously.
The spikes on the thorns pierced into his flesh, causing him to let out a muffled grunt in pain.
"Only the dead will shut up completely."
Scarface pursed his lower lip and muttered in a low voice.
"Then let him become a dead man!"
The stinging back made the principal's already unbeautiful mood even worse.
He slowly twisted his eyebrows, raised his head, and glared at Scarface, "In a while, when I go out, you will take the golden ticket and go out through the back door." ”
"In the town, there is a mountain goods shop with a three-legged black painted on the plaque, which is the business name of the Heavenly Gate, remember, they will give as much as they want, don't bargain, be sure to slaughter the fat pig before dark!"
