Chapter 35: Madness

It was only half an hour's work, and all the forbidden troops who rushed into Yanziji returned unharmed.

A total of seventy-six horse thieves, threaded with a rope, were blindfolded.

Seventy-six horse thieves were pierced through a rope, and no one could escape, and they moved their whole body with one shot. It was led by four or five forbidden soldiers, like a dog!

"Champion, seventy-six horse thieves in Yanziji, all of them are ambushed, please instruct."

The leader of the forbidden army saluted.

Immediately, the forbidden army dragged seventy-six horse thieves to stand in a row and shouted: "Kneel! ”

'Bang la-la' everyone knelt down.

They are blindfolded and can't see anything, and when they can't see, they feel more scared and panicked. If you say kneel, you kneel, no one dares to disobey the meaning of the forbidden army. Including those guards brought by Wang Jixiang from the capital, they did not dare to hesitate.

Dong Shixiang saw that all the seventy-six horse thieves were captured alive, his eyelids jumped, and he kept praying in his heart that Li Zhen would not do anything embarrassing to everyone. If the case is solved here today, the entire Southeast Prefecture will not be able to eat and walk around.

Wang Jixiang stood aside, looking at the eight guards who had grown up with him since childhood, his heart ached like blood, and his heart was anxious like frying. Fear and hate.

His face was extremely pale, but he still had to force a smile. I'm afraid I'll bite myself out, but I have to look around at the scenery and pretend that I have nothing to do with me.

It's a pity that the eight guards were still blindfolded and couldn't see Wang Jixiang. Unable to make any eye contact and communication with Wang Jixiang, this is what Wang Jixiang fears the most.

Li Zhen walked back and forth in front of this neatly kneeling row of horse thieves with his hands behind his back, walking, stopping, and then looking up at the sky. Clam up.

No one knows what this champion is thinking, and it seems that there is compassion on his face, is it compassion for the horse thief?

"My name is Li Zhen."

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly spoke.

One sentence made everyone scratch their heads, why did they suddenly say their names?

The horse thieves were also at a loss, naturally knowing who he was.

Li Zhen smiled again: "Some people say that you are officials and bandits. ”

Hiss –

It's amazing.

Dong Shixiang and Wang Jixiang's bodies trembled at the same time. Nervously looking at the horse thieves.

Wang Jixiang's fists clenched, and he prayed in his heart, don't bite me out.

Before the horse thief could speak, Wang Jixiang couldn't hold back any longer, and burst into a shout: "Champion, what do you mean?" ”

Li Zhen laughed and said, "Oh? What advice does the county lord have? Do you want to defend them? ”

"You're going too far, Yanziji belongs to Jiahe County, you say that they are officials and bandits, isn't this obviously trying to mislead and sway everyone's thoughts? What do you mean? ”

Li Zhen shrugged his shoulders: "No." casually, is the county lord thinking too much? ”

"I didn't think much of it. It's because you have a problem with your words, and you guide them to me in and out of your words, and dare to ask me if Wang has offended you? ”

"You're overthinking. When I met with Lord Wang for the first time, what did I not offend about? But I appreciate the county lord of Wang, who is young and promising, and can be the county lord of Jiahe County at a young age. I heard that the county lord Wang didn't have any grassroots qualifications, so he was directly promoted to the county lord of Jiahe County? Awesome, it must be that the lord of the county is amazingly talented, famous, shocking, and earth-shattering talent to have such an achievement, right? I admire it so much. ”

"You ......"

Wang Jixiang was suffocated, and almost didn't come up in one breath.

The people present were not stupid, so they naturally heard that Li Zhen was satirizing Wang Jixiang. It's almost like saying 'you second ancestor with a belly full of straw bags'.

Wang Jixiang took a deep breath, forced a laugh and said, "Brother Li, I have something I want to say to you alone, I don't know if you mind." ”

"Your Excellency, how dare I disobey? You please. ”

Wang Jixiang nodded, stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and then took Li Zhen to the uninhabited area deep in Yanziji. Dong Shixiang and the others pretended not to see it.

They all understood Wang Jixiang's intentions, and they wanted to talk to Li Zhen alone in private, give in, and even beg for mercy.

Everyone knows that this horse thief in Yanziji must have something to do with Wang Jixiang. But no one present dared to really dig out Wang Jixiang.

The collusion of officials and bandits, this is an earth-shattering big thing. If you can be private, you can quickly go private.

Everyone was happy to see that Wang Jixiang and Li Zhen could reach some kind of tacit understanding...... Li Zhen also knew the relationship behind this incident, so he chose to chat with Wang Jixiang alone.

Walking to a leeward place, Wang Jixiang smiled and patted Li Zhen on the shoulder: "Brother Li, there are some things, see through them and don't say anything." ”

"Huh? I've always been ignorant and don't know what you're talking about. ”

Wang Jixiang sneered and sat down on the stone cliff by himself: "Brother Li, the horse thief let you catch it." Kill it. They are the ones who killed your classmates and teachers, and you are now prosperous and rich, and you are now rich and rich, and you have taken revenge. Why bite the bullet? If this continues, it will not be good for you and me, for everyone, or for the entire Southeastern State. ”

Li Zhen smiled and muttered distractedly: "A month ago, eleven people and ten horses died here. Before a teenager died, let me carry his dreams. Before he died, an old man prayed for me to have a bright future in the future. Did you know that I hate some of them? ”

"Alas, I deeply sympathize with this. However, the implications of this matter are widespread. I suspect that the horse thief in Yanziji may have something to do with some ignorant officials under me. If the champion digs deeper, then not only will I be guilty of negligence and dereliction of duty, but I am afraid that even the governor of Southeast Prefecture will be guilty of the same crime as me. ”

Li Zhen looked at him with a smile, looked at him and said nothing. Just looked at him quietly.

Dump the pot? Pull teammates? Threat?

Awesome.

"Hahahaha. The county lord is also too capable of promoting Xiaosheng. ”

Li Zhen laughed out loud, said something inexplicably, turned around and left.

Wang Jixiang didn't get a definite answer, and he definitely wouldn't let him go, so he grabbed Li Zhen back again, and forced a laugh: "I'll solve Brother Li's doubts, right?" ”

"Oh? Do I have any doubts? ”

"Didn't my brother say, why am I so amazingly talented, why was I promoted to the county lord at such a young age? Hehe, brother would never think of one thing. ”

Li Zhen squinted his eyes and whispered, "What's the matter?" ”

"Father, Wang Zhongshu!"

Li Zhen's pupils shrank, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he smiled: "That Wang County Lord is really powerful, the person who was born with a wat board." ”

Who is Wang Zhongshu? Li Zhen is probably very familiar, a person who made Li Zhen eager to meet in the first sixteen years!

Imperial College London, Rector, Wang Zhongshu. Hang the title of deputy general administration of the General Administration of Education, and the imperial court hangs a false name from a first-class officer. He was once an emperor. The world is full of peaches and plums, and it can be said that half of all the serving officials, scholars, and great men in the entire Kyushu Empire have studied in his hands.

A quarter of an hour ago, Li Zhen was also eager to worship under Wang Zhongshu and enter the Imperial College.

Wang Jixiang smiled threateningly: "I don't know if Zhuang Yuanlang can let go of his hand for the sake of his father's face?" It's just a small favor for me. ”

"Okay!"

To Wang Jixiang's surprise, Li Zhen agreed very happily. He also thought that this kind of scholar would argue with him again, and only let go after saving face. I didn't expect it to be so happy. couldn't help but show deep disdain in Wang Jixiang's eyes.

Huh, champion? First? For a hundred years?

Hehe, joke!

In front of absolute power, in front of the wang family, it seems to be a dog.

"But ......"

A but, Wang Jixiang's eyelids jumped: "But what? ”

Li Zhen showed an innocent smile: "I once promised my classmates, I said: If one day I am an official, then I will level Yanziji." ”

Wang Jixiang frowned: "Those seventy-six people are horse thieves, heinous crimes, you can kill or chop them up." Isn't it already flattened? ”

Li Zhen took a deep breath, stood on the stone cliff, and pointed his immature fingers at the first line of heaven where the two peaks of Yanziji merged:

"I said, "Flat! Swallow Rock! ”

"Swing flat!"

“……”

Wang Jixiang gasped, couldn't hold back any longer, lowered his voice and roared: "Don't go too far!" ”

"Can't you do it? Hahahaha. ”

Li Zhen laughed wildly, with a disdain in his eyes that was even stronger than Wang Jixiang just now.

"You ......"

"Can you do it?"

"I ...... You ......"

Li Zhen was like a hysterical beast, his eyes were blood-red, and his whole body was trembling:

"Hahaha."

A wild laugh mixed with a roar echoed throughout Swallow Rock. There were more than 10,000 Huangpu troops and more than 1,000 forbidden troops, and they all brushed their heads back, and looked at the direction where the voice came from with some solemnity.

They smelled a breath of madness.
