Chapter 127: Night Talk
Then I took a look at the old gentleman, who was already unconscious!
It's just that it seems that there should be no big deal.
"Why did it suddenly catch fire?" At this time, there was a hint of shock in Ci Nian's eyes, and he hurriedly looked at me and asked softly.
I shook my head slightly, and then continued: "It's too late to elaborate, the scene is out of control. Let's get out of this place as soon as possible! ”
After saying that, I sent a signal.
All the disciples of the hundred schools faded as quickly as a tide in an instant. However, the crowd at the scene was already completely angry, because this time, what Wanghailou did was too much.
What happened next to me was beyond our control.
Then there was some good news. The other hundred disciples had also rescued all the children, including Erniu. Most importantly, even the House of Mercy was burned down!
The good news is still coming out one after another!
Because we have done our homework before, it is said that some people directly rescued the mastermind of Wanghailou Church, and there are some scum who killed their compatriots.
These people were drowned in an angry crowd.
It's a thing of the past!
There is also good news, that is, Liu Jie is not dead, what died is just one of Liu Jie's adjutants. It's just that Liu Jie hasn't been comfortable these days.
On this day I quit everything.
came to Liu Jie's mansion.
I found that Liu Jie was sitting there drinking, and when he saw me coming, he laughed, and then said softly: "You came just in time, but no one drank this cup with me just because of the beautiful scenery of this good day." Drink with me! ”
While speaking, Liu Jie said lightly to me: "Gao Sheng is a good person, he has been following me since I became the prefect, and all kinds of things can be said to have been done properly." ”
"Hmm!" I nodded slightly, in fact, although Liu Jie is laughing now, I know in my heart that his heart can be said to be extremely bitter now. There is simply no way to even face the death of his own adjutant.
"He doesn't deserve to die!" Liu Jie paused slightly, then said softly.
I sighed, but I could only nod. I couldn't say anything else, and after a while, I looked at Liu Jie in front of me and said, "Has the order of the imperial court come down?" ”
"Not yet, but the situation is a little bad!" Liu Jie paused for a moment before continuing.
I was slightly stunned for a moment, with a hint of confusion in my eyes, and then said softly: "But isn't what we did a good thing?" ”
"But there are always people who have to bear the consequences. In the aftermath of this incident, the consequences were much more serious than we thought. The warship drove directly to Dagukou to stand by for demonstration! These people want the court to give an explanation. The imperial court has begun to make amends, if my guess is right, I'm afraid that the order is already on the way......" Liu Jie's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then took another sip of wine, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the sky, and after a long time, he said softly: "To be honest, these things are no longer important to me!" ”
"It's very important, Tianjin needs you." After I was silent for a while, I looked at Liu Jie in front of me and then continued: "I need you, the prefect, and I need you, the person who asks for the people's life." By the way, the command you just said ......"
Liu Jie laughed, and then continued: "Since the imperial court wants to appease the foreigners, what it did was nothing more than to find a scapegoat, this incident was caused by me, so naturally I was the scapegoat, oh, by the way, and my friend, this matter involved him." I'm a little sorry! ”
Between speaking, Liu Jie's eyes showed a trace of helplessness: "If it's possible, then pay him back in the next life!" ”
My body trembled suddenly, looked at Liu Jie in front of me, and was silent for a moment before continuing: "I shouldn't kill you, right?" ”
"The best result now is to get rid of the official position and never be hired!" Liu Jie's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a slight pause, he said softly: "It's just that I guess these foreigners should be dissatisfied with this." As long as you don't slow down, if you want my life, you will have to! ”
"Why don't I arrange it for you, and you get out of this place quickly!"
Hearing this, I instantly became anxious, hurriedly looked at Liu Jie in front of me, and then said softly.
At this time, Liu Jie gently patted me on the shoulder, as if he had already seen through everything in the officialdom, and after a long time, he said softly: "It seems that you still don't understand the meaning of my words, foreigners are looking for an explanation for the imperial court, and this statement can be me or someone else." It's the best for me, because I only have to pay for my life. But if it were someone else, it might be ......."
Liu Jie's words did not continue.
But my body trembled suddenly, as if I understood something, looking at Liu Jie in front of me, I didn't know what to say. After a long time, he said with some dismay: "I'm really sorry, I didn't think about this matter, I shouldn't have involved you!" ”
No matter what, Liu Jie in front of him is a good official!
He is also an official who asks for the life of the people. And I put such a view, in this kind of dire situation, my heart can be said to be extremely tormented.
"That's right!" Liu Jie raised his head, glanced at me, and then said very solemnly: "Don't doubt what you do, I, Liu Jie, am just a literati and have read a lot, but I can't hold a knife in my hand." There are very few things that can be done, if it weren't for this opportunity, maybe I would have done nothing in this life, and when I got old, I would return to my hometown. Looking at the world of the country's ruin, I can only write some lamenting words. But now I've done something, and I'm happy! Hahahaha......"
After finishing speaking, Liu Jie added: "It's really fucking happy!" ”
I was stunned there, although it was just a dirty word, but I think Liu Jie should have never spoken like this, seeing that there was still a trace of joy in his words, with a flush on his face, as if he was drinking and spitting out the truth.
The more I get to this time, the more I have more respect for Liu Jie in front of me.
Yes, he is just a scholar, and there is no way to influence this matter at all. Even if it is the current imperial court, I am afraid that there is no way to reverse the situation, and if you want to reverse the situation, it is destined to be a long-term process. It's just that at this time, there is no joy of victory in my heart, and I feel that we have fought a big defeat!
Thinking of this, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and then gently picked up the wine glass and drank the wine inside. There was a trace of confusion in his eyes, and after a long time, he said softly: "Sometimes I really don't know whether what I did was right or wrong. ”
"What are you going to do?" At this time, Liu Jie glanced at me, and then said softly.
My eyes narrowed slightly, and after a long time I continued, "Revenge!" ”
"Revenge?" Liu Jie let out a long breath, and after a long time, he shook his head slightly and said, "How can there be so much revenge in this world?" If you kill him, his family will come and kill you. What do you say about Buddhism? When is the time for retribution? Do what you're supposed to do, and you're good to go! ”
"Gotcha!" At this time, Liu Jie shook his head slightly: "I drank too much, you don't care about me." Damn, what should be done in this world must be done, go to the damn Buddha! How to repay virtue with virtue? As for the future, that's for later, everything else is nonsense......"
After saying this, Liu Jie lay directly on the table and fell drunk.
