The county government is divided into front and back, the front is the official office, which is used to handle official business, and the back is the residence.

After Qingluanwei arrested Li Hongwen, the current magistrate of Fengtai County, he imprisoned his whole family in the back house of the county government, but he didn't make a big move, but just let him not go out in his own room.

Li Hongwen was imprisoned in his study.

Just when Zhou Feilong and Qi Xuansu were fighting in the front office, Li Sanxin and his party came unhurriedly to Li Hongwen's study along the corridor.

Li Sanxin let the others stay outside and went into the study alone.

The furnishings in the study are very simple, only one case, two chairs and one bookcase, the bookshelf is full of all kinds of books, but in addition to the four treasures of the study and the pen wash, pen holder, paperweight and other things on the bookcase, there is no desk confession and other things, it is really bitter, and the identity of the county order is not quite consistent.

At this time, Li Hongwen, the magistrate of Fengtai County, was sitting behind the bookcase, dressed in a seven-grade court dress, looking about the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, with a clear face and three strands of long hair.

Li Sanxin picked up the chair that was leaning against the side wall with one hand, put it in the opposite position in front of Li Hong's copy, and then sat down in the seat of this subordinate.

Li Hongwen lowered his eyes, indifferent to Li Sanxin's arrival, and had no intention of getting up.

Li Sanxin put the bowl in his hand on the case and said, "According to the law of Daxuan, although Your Excellency is a leather worker, you are still an official until you are convicted. Although this official is an envoy who was ordered to handle the case, it is not easy to call him by his name, so it is reasonable for me to call him Lord Li. ”

Li Hongwen still didn't speak.

Li Sanxin didn't care, and continued to himself: "Lord Li is an official of the imperial court, and this official is also an official of the imperial court. ”

This sentence was no less than a thunderbolt that resounded in Li Hongwen's ears, he looked up at Li Sanxin suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "A good colleague wants to say the word 'loyalty', you don't use any messy party to deceive me, I, Li Hongwen, have always been alone." I want to ask Your Excellency, you still have the Qingluan Wei Thousand Households behind you, which gentleman are you loyal to? ”

"Naturally, it's the imperial court." Li Sanxin raised his voice slightly, and at the same time bowed his hand in the direction of the capital, "Li and Qingluanwei have always been loyal to the imperial court. ”

Li Hongwen sneered: "The imperial court? You know it in your own hearts! ”

Li Sanxin's face became gloomy, his body stood up, and he said, "What does Master Li mean by this?" ”

Li Hongwen was not afraid: "You Qingluanwei were ordered to arrest Li this time, whose will were you serving?" I'm afraid it's not Your Majesty's holy decree, but the cabinet's decree, you say that I am a party for personal gain, dare to ask me who I am a party with? What's the point? I'm afraid it's a sin that I want to add. ”

Li Sanxin suddenly smiled, sat back in the chair, and then spoke: "Okay, Master Li is finally recruited." ”

Li Hongwen's face changed: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Li Sanxin took a sip of the tea that was already a little cold in the bowl, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Li, fabricated for no reason, framed the cabinet, do you know how Da Xuanlu was convicted?" ”

Li Hongwen said awe-inspiringly: "Once you die, why be afraid? ”

"If you want to find death, a foot of white silk, a sharp knife, and a glass of poisonous wine, what can't you? If Master Li doesn't have it, we Qingluanwei do, and we guarantee that we won't take a penny. ”

Li Sanxin said in a deep voice: "Why does Lord Li use these words to prevaricate me? Actually, we can talk about it. ”

Li Hongwen said with a solemn face: "At this point, you said that we can talk, do you really think that I am a three-year-old child?" ”

Li Sanxin said in a low voice: "This is related to the life and death of Lord Li's family. ”

Li Hongwen was silent.

Li Sanxin continued: "Before I came to Fengtai County, Lord Qianhu had an explanation, as long as Lord Li was willing to hand over that thing, then there would be talks. Lord Li's life, Lord Qianhu can't save it. But the lives of Lord Li's family, the lives of thousands of households can still be saved, it is nothing more than adding or subtracting a few strokes to the file, even if it is sentenced to exile, it is better than a full house of beheading. ”

Li Hongwen asked, "What if I refuse to pay?" ”

Li Sanxin sighed helplessly, and got up from the chair again: "If Lord Li refuses to talk, Lord Qianhu will also explain." ”

Li Hongwen looked at Li Sanxin.

Li Sanxin said softly: "Then please ask Lord Li's family to stay in Fengtai County, whether to pay it or not, I hope Lord Li will think about it." ”

"Don't think about it." Li Hongwen's expression was firm and he flatly refused, "I won't hand it over to you." ”

Li Hongwen's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he didn't say anything more, turned around and left Li Hongwen's study, and waved his hand.

Qingluanwei, who was originally scattered around, immediately came to him and waited for orders.

Li Sanxin was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and the Lord of a Thousand Households also has a merciful heart. ”

Several Qingluan guards did not speak, waiting for the following.

Li Sanxin paused for a moment, the expression on his face became gloomy, and then he continued: "But there are always some people who are not sympathetic to the benevolent heart of the Thousand Households, and they are stubborn. ”

It was not the first day to do the public duty on the Qingluan guards, and they understood seven or eight points in their hearts, and they were going to kill people if they tried to do a hundred households.

One of the leaders of Qingluanwei said softly: "Please show me." ”

Li Sanxin closed his eyes and said softly: "Li Hongwen knows too many things, and if he really wants to be sent to the Imperial Prison, it will involve a lot of trouble. So the lesser of two evils, let him stay in Fengtai County. ”

Qingluanwei Zongqi's face was solemn, and he understood that the stay in the mouth of the hundred households was not just left, but let him stay forever.

Li Sanxin continued: "Li Hongwen has many old friends of the same year, if this matter is not done cleanly, it is true, and it provokes discussion between the government and the opposition, it will be very unfavorable to us, so according to the old rules, no one will be ...... alive."

Qingluanwei General Qi immediately answered: "There is no corpse to be seen." ”

Li Sanxin opened his eyes, looked at the Qingluan Wei General Banner, and lowered his voice slightly: "In addition to him, there is also his family, no one is left, and the killing must be clean." ”

Qingluanwei said in a deep voice: "Yes! ”

Li Sanxin looked at another Qingluanwei Xiaoqi, who looked like a white-faced scholar, and instructed: "Prepare the case file, and throw the charge of killing the county order on the chaotic party, just say that the chaotic party attacked Qingluanwei, obstructed the handling of the case, and killed people to kill people. ”

The Qingluan Wei Xiaoqi hurriedly said, "Please rest assured. ”

Li Sanxin waved his hand.

The group of Qingluan Wei immediately dispersed.

Soon, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, the sound of doors opening, the sound of knives drawn, and the cries and screams of dying in the back house.

Li Sanxin turned a deaf ear to this, standing under the rain eaves, looking at the rain curtain outside, still holding a bowl and sipping tea.

Rainy days are indeed a good time to kill.

When Li Sanxin finally drank the last bit of residual tea, a person came from the front office to the back office.

Although the person who came was soaked up and down, there was no trace of blood, whether it was someone else's or his own.

He carried a "thin tiger knife" in his right hand, and in his left hand he carried a dead human head.

The young man wearing a hat threw out his head and said, "This Lord of the Hundred Households does not want to talk to me, I can only kill him, I wonder if this Lord is willing to talk to me?" ”

Li Sanxin looked down at the head that had rolled down to his feet, and Zhou Feilong's dead eyes that had never closed were staring at him.

But since you have entered the business of Qingluanwei, you are not afraid of ghosts and gods, you can't do anything to me when you are alive, let alone dead?

So Li Sanxin raised one foot and directly crushed the head of this colleague who was still talking and laughing with him not long ago, and then scraped the soles of his boots that were stained with filth on the edge of the steps.

After he did this, he raised his head to look at the visitor, narrowed his already narrow eyes, and softly praised: "Good means." ”

The people who came were indifferent, and they did not see the slightest joy or anger.

Li Sanxin's eyes swept through a trace of worry that was extremely difficult to detect.

A puppet, of course, is not enough to worry about, but if this puppet is a congenital person, then no one can despise it, why do those powerful families in the capital spare no effort to win over these masters?

In addition to doing some unsightly work, it is not to protect one's own children.

If Li Hongwen had a master around him who could compare to the person in front of him, then when they came to get people, it would not be the same situation as it is now.

However, Li Sanxin is just worried, not afraid, he is not Zhou Feilong's waste, he can do it at a young age from the six-grade trial hundred, and even soon to the six-grade hundred, naturally has its own uniqueness.

Li Sanxin spoke again, and his voice suddenly became much lower: "Your Excellency came alone to kill my brother Qingluanwei, what is the matter?" ”

Qi Xuansu said: "Acting on orders, you should understand." ”

"Yes, of course I do." Li Sanxin nodded, "We are all involuntarily, and it is helpless to fight for life and death, so please make a move." ”

Qi Xuansu stopped talking nonsense, and stepped on the bluestone ground under his feet into a circle of spiderweb-like cracks, and his body swept forward.

Li Sanxin smiled faintly, and threw out the bowl that he had been holding in his hand with his wrist strength, and disappeared in a flash.

The next moment, this bowl appeared directly in front of Qi Xuansu.

I saw that this whirling bowl was spinning non-stop, as if it were spiritual, circling around Qi Xuansu, making Qi Xuansu have to stop rushing forward.
