Chapter 65: Tian Hao
Li Yi, who was unconscious, was pressed into the small river, and was poured into a large mouthful of river water with a grunt.
The instinctive reaction of the body began to struggle, but the whole person was lifted in the air by the man in the hat, and his hands and feet could only struggle and swing in the air, but to no avail.
The man with the hat just sneered when he saw that Li Yi was choked up, and he didn't mean to lift him up at all, and after another moment, Li Yi's stomach was choked with river water and became swollen.
The struggle of his body gradually began to weaken, and when the hatsman saw this, he lifted Li Yi's head out of the water, and at this time he was on the verge of coma again.
I saw that the hatsman threw Li Yi on the green grass by the river, and just held his hands and looked coldly at Li Yi who was embarrassed on the ground.
Xiao Ning in the bushes showed a look of doubt in her eyes, she didn't understand why this person had worked so hard to save Li Yi, but looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to pay much attention to Li Yi, so what did he want?
Chen Mo and Ye Ziyu just quietly looked at the two of them by the river, Ye Ziyu's eyes suddenly paused, it turned out that Li Yi was thrown to the ground and a small jade plaque fell out of his arms in an instant.
There was a little bit of spiritual light on the jade plate, and it was actually a low-grade spiritual weapon.
It's just that because of the perspective and spiritual perception of this scene, the hatsman standing in front of Li Yi did not notice the existence of the jade plate.
After Li Yi was thrown to the ground, he immediately spit out a large mouthful of river water from his mouth, and then he came to his senses, he hurriedly turned over and vomited for a long time, and finally vomited out the river water that was choked in his stomach.
Li Yi's expression changed slightly, he was sitting on the grass with his hands behind him at this time, and his right hand quietly touched the place where he fell to the ground just now without showing a trace.
After touching the jade plaque that had fallen to the ground behind him, his expression relaxed, and then he turned his gaze to the hatsman standing aside.
The two looked at each other, the anger on the hat-hatting guest was very strong, where had Li Yi seen such a fierce character in his life, and after glancing at each other, he hurriedly looked away and threw himself elsewhere.
The hatsman just sneered and said, "Li Xianggong, are you really stupid to read?" You were asked to run with me on the execution ground, but you didn't run, what's the matter? Do you really want to cut off that Zhang He's head? ”
Li Yi's face changed when he heard this, and he struggled to stand up and said: "Li killed the enemy's family for revenge, although it is to avenge his relatives, but it is natural to kill people to pay for their lives, even if I cut off my head, I have no regrets." ”
After a pause, he said: "If it weren't for Your Excellency's unauthorized robbery to rob me, now that I have been reunited with my family, you didn't save me, but hurt me!" ”
The hatsman laughed when he heard this, laughed like crazy, stretched out his finger and pointed at Li Yi as if he was standing in front of him the stupidest and funniest person in the world.
Li Yi's face turned pale, and he asked: "Li is acting above board, what is there to make fun of?" ”
Then he snorted coldly and said: "Chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, and people like Your Excellency pretend to be chivalrous and righteous, but they don't know whether what they are doing is harming or saving people." ”
The hateer's laughter stopped abruptly, and he actually took off the hat above his head, and said coldly: "Look at who I am!" Did this trip save you or hurt you? ”
Li Yi couldn't help but scream in surprise when he saw his face, his fingers trembled and pointed at his face and said, "How could it be you?" ”
Ye Ziyu and the three of them looked at the appearance of the hat, but they didn't see anything unusual, there was just an ordinary man's face under the hat.
Looking at the physiognomy of about forty years old, it is just that people in the rivers and lakes practice internal skills, and the aging is slower than ordinary people, but their age will not exceed sixty at most.
If there is anything strange about this person's face, it is that there is a hideous scar in the center of the eyebrows and in the middle of the nose bone, which seems to be caused by a sharp weapon chopping.
But it is also very common for people who have been in the rivers and lakes all year round to have a scar on their faces, and I don't know why Li Yi was so surprised to see this person.
Ye Ziyu's expression moved, and he suddenly remembered that the second junior in the Drunken Immortal Building had said before: "The government posted a notice, and the graphic of the sea fishing document is a man with a scarred face that no one has ever seen. ”
Scarface? Could it be the person in front of you?
But according to what Xiao Er said, the old man who sold food in the streets and alleys turned over his confession because of torture, shouldn't it be Wang Fu who came out of Li Yimen?
And shouldn't this scar-faced man just a fictitious character fabricated out of thin air by the county guard in order to perfunctory Li Yi? But now this fabricated character is standing alive in front of the party Li Yi.
How could this not surprise him, Li Yi suddenly sat on the ground, and at this moment he only felt that the sky was falling, could it be that his family did not die at the hands of Wang Fu, but the poisonous hand of the man in front of him?
So didn't he kill Wang Fu's family in vain? is also a loss to himself for prides himself on being above board, and he doesn't even know who the real enemy is, no wonder he just said that he is an ignorant child.
Li Yi's expression suddenly calmed down, and he said to the scarred man in front of him, "Is it your hand?" ”
The scarred man sneered, "If it's really my hand, then why did I come to rob the Dharma field to save your pig?" ”
Li Yi was stunned when he heard this, Ye Ziyu and the three people behind him just saw the jade plaque he hid in the palm of his hand glowing, obviously Li Yi used some secret method to urge this inferior spiritual weapon, wanting to attack the scar man in front of him.
Ye Ziyu silently lowered his head and pondered, so many things had happened in just half a day, about Li Yi, about the Wang family, and about this scarred man.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, didn't all these clues point to Zhang He, the county guard of Zhuo County?
From beginning to end, Zhang He has always played the role of an outsider, at most he conspired with the Wang family to judge the case unfairly, but he himself has never been directly involved.
Sure enough, Li Yi was also stunned after hearing the scar man talk about saving him, yes, if it was really his own family that he killed, then wouldn't it be better if he mistakenly sought revenge from the Wang family and was executed according to law?
If he was beheaded like this, it would save him a lot of effort, so why should he risk his life to save himself?
But if it wasn't him, then who was the real culprit behind the scenes?
Scarface saw that Li Yi was still in a daze and pondered, and couldn't help but scold: "You are really a pig brain, I have talked to this point, aren't you nerds smarter than one on weekdays?" How come it is that you can't figure things out when you get to yourself? ”
Li Yi didn't pay attention to him, just thought about the ins and outs of the whole thing there.
Seeing that Li Yi didn't speak, the scar-faced man finally couldn't hold back after waiting for a long time and said: "It's really stupid to kill you, is there really someone who will plot against you for no reason?" There is always a cause for everything! ”
A flash of surprise flashed in Li Yiwen's eyes when he heard this, but it was fleeting.
He hesitated for a moment and said deliberately: "But the three generations of my Li family have never made enemies with anyone, and even the neighbors have never had a tongue on weekdays, so how can there be a motive for resentment and killing?" ”
The scar-faced man said expressionlessly: "Do you really want me to make it clear to you?" I'll just tell you one thing, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. ”
Li Yi suddenly seemed to be petrified in place, and did not speak for a long time.
The scar-faced man just looked at him quietly and didn't say much.
After a long time, Li Yi's face was a little pale, but he still said: "My Li family only has a few acres of thin fields, and after the family marries me, there is no money left, so how can there be any such thing as a husband?" ”
The scar-faced man sneered and said, "You still don't want to believe me, and you are still hiding your head and tail at this point?" Where is your Li family's ancient book now? ”
Li Yi's face suddenly changed when he heard the word ancient book, and he lost his voice: "Who are you?" ”
Scarface said lightly: "My name is Liu Yu, maybe you haven't heard of this name." ”
He paused and said, "I still have a name called Tian Hao, and I was quite famous in Zhuo County back then. ”
"Tian Hao? It's a familiar name, but I can't remember where I've heard it. While he was thinking about it, suddenly a lightning bolt crossed his mind.
Li Yi suddenly remembered who the scar-faced man in front of him who claimed to be Tian Hao.
It turned out that before the current Zhuojun county guard Zhang He took office, the position of Zhuojun Taishou was vacant, and the affairs of a county were all managed by the county lieutenant Tian Hao.
It's just that 20 years ago, Zhang He was suddenly appointed as the Taishou of Zhuo County, and after taking office, he was with Tian Hao, and the two fought openly and secretly.
Finally, nineteen years ago, Tian Hao was accused of fornicating with the demon clan, and thousands of members of his family were tragically wiped out, and it was rumored that he was captured and beheaded by Zhang He.
At that time, Li Yi was just a teenager, and he never thought that this Tian Hao would not be dead or alive until now.
I only heard that Tian Hao saw that Li Yi's face was complicated and uncertain, and knew that he already knew his deeds.
Said lightly: "Back then, I was lucky to escape, but I secretly discovered a secret of Zhang He, he is not an ordinary person at all, but a legendary qi refiner!" ”
Li Yi's expression changed and said, "Qi Refiner? ”
Tian Hao nodded, and then snorted coldly: "You can take out the things behind you, why do you have to hide it?" ”
Li Yi smiled awkwardly, so he had to take out the jade plaque hidden behind his back and put it back in his arms.
Tian Hao saw this jade plate shining with spiritual light, and there was a hint of greed in his eyes, which flashed and disappeared.
Li Yi didn't notice the greed in Tian Hao's eyes, and said: "I have only heard of the ancient books you mentioned, and I have heard my father mention them in a single scale, but I don't know much about the details. ”
Tian Hao said: "This kind of divine object naturally has an extraordinary origin, and I know this news because I heard some news because I had a lot of ears and eyes when I was a county lieutenant." ”
At this time, the three people in the bushes looked moved, and they all set their eyes on a bluestone on the other side of the river.
It turned out that on the bluestone, there was a red robe swinging in the wind at this moment, and it was Zhang He, the county guard of Zhuo County.
