Chapter 12 Rat-throwing Traps
Cao Wenzhao looked at his mother. Didn't move.
"Brother, you can't let go of the knife, they will kill you." Cao Wenbin shouted loudly from the side.
Cao Wenzhao turned his head to look at his second brother, but still did not move.
Cao's mother sighed and said to her son: "Wen Zhao, you go!" It doesn't matter if we live or die. You are alone, suffering from hunger and cold, and escorting our mother and son to this place for thousands of miles, you have already fulfilled the filial piety of your son of man. As for your brother and I coming to this fate today, it is also providential. If you think your father knows about it, it won't be surprising. There you go! Just don't forget your father's hatred. Remember, the man who killed your father was called Li Yongfang. ”
Li Xianzhong, who was standing on the side, suddenly heard the name "Li Yongfang", and his heart couldn't help jumping. But he thought he must have misheard. How could these beggar-like people have anything to do with the Fushun guerrilla Li Yongfang!
In fact, Li Xianzhong is deceiving himself, because he has offended this person named Cao Wenzhao, so he thinks that there is no way to have any origin in this person's identity. If it weren't for this kind of thinking at work, thinking about it calmly, Li Xianzhong would definitely find that although the person in front of him was dressed like a beggar, his temperament was not like it at all, plus he had such a good hand, saying that he was from a military family in Liaodong, it was very possible. But Li Xianzhong has long been carried away by anger now, where would he think of this.
"Brother, let's go! Remember to avenge us in the future. Cao Wenbin shouted at his eldest brother, disdainful of one of Li Xianzhong's subordinates who stood beside him with a knife and watched over him and his younger brother.
"Big brother, I'm afraid!" The little brother who was hiding behind Cao Wenbin shouted timidly.
Cao Wenbin stretched out his hand to give his little brother a slap, but when he moved his hand, he found that his hands had been tied firmly. "Shut up. Our Cao family has never been cowardly. What did Daddy tell us before he died? Have you forgotten? He said, 'Our Cao family has always only had men who died in battle, not cowards who surrendered!' Don't you remember? ”
"But, I'm afraid ......," the younger brother Cao Wenhuan cried.
Cao Wenzhao looked at his mother and then at the two younger brothers next to him, and ...... for a long time!
In the end, Cao Wenzhao still chose to give in. He slowly crouched down and lowered the single knife in his hand to the ground.
"That's right! As the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie. Li Liu said, glancing at Zhang Hu, who had already stepped aside. Zhang Hu understood, and immediately ran forward, first carefully collected the long knife on the ground, and then put the knife on Cao Wenzhao's neck, and then raised his foot and kicked Cao Wenzhao's leg hard.
"I made you arrogant, and now you are arrogant! Arrogant! It's up to you to not have long eyes, and not to open your dog's eyes to take a good look at yourself. Killing your ten dogs is not worth one of our young master's dogs. As he spoke, Zhang Hu kicked Cao Wenzhao a few times in succession, which relieved his anger.
Cao Wenzhao's family was in their hands at this time, and they didn't dare to resist. can only stare at Zhang Hu. Zhang Hu was full of anger, so he ignored him, put the knife firmly on his neck, and said to Li Xianzhong: "Son, what should I do with this little bastard?" ”
"Tie it up first. Wait to find a secluded place and send them to see the grandfather. These are the secret words spoken by Li Xianzhong and his subordinates. Because they often slaughtered civilians in Liaodong, in order to prevent themselves from saying the word "kill", those people desperately resisted or ran away desperately, so Li Xianzhong invented this sentence. "Seeing the master" is to kill, because Li Chengliang, the grandfather of the Li family, is dead.
Zhang Hu agreed, and then took the rope handed by the other two companions to tie Cao Wenzhao. The family member who was watching Cao Wenbin and Cao Wenhuan with a knife over there asked, "Then what to do with this woman and these children?" ”
Li Liu scolded the family Ding, "You are stupid! Haven't you heard of the phrase "cutting grass and eradicating roots"? Don't you know the young master's usual style of acting? This still has to be asked, naturally I will go to see the grandfather together! ”
That family was scolded by Li Liu, but he didn't dare to reply, because he knew that although Li Liu was just a subordinate like them on the surface, Li Liu was very favored by the young master. You can't offend him. So he looked at Li Xianzhong. Li Xianzhong nodded to the man.
After receiving clear instructions from the young master, the family had to tie Cao Wenhuan with a rope. At this time, Cao Wenzhao, who was already willing to be bound, suddenly protested. "Didn't you say that as long as I was at your disposal, I would let my mother and my brother go?"
Li Liu smiled coldly. "Humph! Haven't you heard the saying that soldiers don't get tired of cheating? You don't inquire. The people who offended our Tieling Li family, which one of them can be so cheap. With that, he no longer paid attention to Cao Wenzhao, and tied Cao's mother up.
At this time, Yu Ren, who had been hiding in the dense forest, could no longer look at it. He was about to rush out. was pulled by Li Yu next to him.
"What are you going to do?"
"What? Go find this Li Xianzhong theory! He oppresses the weak and widows so much, doesn't my Ming Dynasty have a king's law? ”
Li Yu sneered, "This Li Xianzhong is still the grandson of Li Chengliang." Their Li family's prestige in Daming is now a prince, and they have to let them score three points, what does Wang Fa do to them! Killing, for them, is a matter of routine.
Don't you see that they have knives in their hands? When you go out, aren't you afraid that they will be annoyed and kill you too? Do you think you can beat them? ”
Yu Ren shook his head. "I knew I couldn't beat them. But when you encounter such an injustice, even if you know that you can't fight it, you have to fight it. Saying that, Yu Ren walked out of the woods, at this time he really didn't think much about it, he just felt that Li Xianzhong's actions were too much to look at, and it would be difficult to calm the tone in his heart if he didn't take care of it.
At the same time, Yu Ren still didn't believe Li Yu's words, he didn't believe that Li Xianzhong would be arrogant to such a point. He must be a famous student after all, if he comes forward, this Li Xianzhong has to have a little scruples, just now in the tea shed Li Xianzhong was very polite to him!
Li Yu couldn't persuade him, so he had to hand him the ancient sword he had taken from him before, but he didn't go out with him.
Yu Ren was a little disappointed when he saw that Li Yu did not stand up with him. But he immediately didn't think much about it, and shouted at Li Xianzhong and several of his subordinates, "Slow down!" ”
Li Xianzhong originally planned to deal with Cao Wenzhao and these people, so he went after Li Yu, he believed that Li Yu would definitely not go far. Seeing that someone stood up to fight the grievances, Li Xianzhong turned around. See it's Yu Ren. Li Xianzhong sneered and did not speak.
Li Xianzhong is a man with a city government. When he saw that Yu Ren had come out of the forest in front of him, he was worried about whether he still had companions hiding in the forest, and he couldn't help but have some scruples. When Yu Ren came closer, Li Xianzhong hugged his fist at him. "It turned out to be Brother Yu, I don't know what to advise."
Yu Ren is not stupid, when he saw Li Xianzhong talking to him, the corner of his eye kept aiming at the woods in front of him, and he guessed that he might be worried that there was an ambush in his forest, which was in Yu Ren's arms, so he planned to sing an empty city plan for Li Xianzhong. So, Yu Ren put his hands behind his back and said to Li Xianzhong arrogantly: "I can't give advice." It's just that our brother has been passing by since then, and it is really a bit unbearable to see Brother Li treat a group of displaced people fleeing the famine like this.
The sage once said that everyone has compassion. I don't know where this little brother offended Brother Li, but I see his filial piety in escorting his mother and younger siblings for thousands of miles without fear of hardships. I hope that Brother Li can raise his noble hand and let them go. ”
"Could it be that Brother Yu is related to them?" Li Xianzhong asked.
Yu Ren glanced at Cao Wenzhao and shook his head.
"So it's with this little beggar?"
Yu Ren also heard the sarcasm in Li Xianzhong's words, but he didn't care, he just shook his head.
"Since Brother Yu and this kid are neither related nor related, but they are forced to intervene, I think they are deliberately looking for their brother's stubble!"
As Li Xianzhong spoke, he glanced at one of his subordinates. When the man saw Li Xianzhong's eyes, he lowered his head and quietly detoured from the side and walked towards the woods where Yu Ren came out.
Yu Ren naturally saw his action, and couldn't help but secretly scream "Oops" in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Now I just hope that Li Yu and their masters and servants can be smarter, and don't let Li Xianzhong's subordinates find out. Yu Ren thought like this in his heart, but he didn't want to have a stiff relationship with Li Xianzhong on his face, so he said: "I also passed by here and looked at this family pitifully." This person still has some filial piety, so he came forward and wanted Brother Li to look at my thin side and let the mother and son go. As for the fact that he killed Brother Li's two dogs, it will be counted on me. How much silver did the two wolf dogs have, and the brother compensated Brother Li. I don't know what Brother Li thinks? ”
Li Xianzhong glanced at Yu Ren and was groaning. I heard his subordinates who had just been sent out shouting by the forest opposite, "Young master, there is no one. There is no hair on the head, this kid is bluffing. Another family member walked up and whispered something in Li Xianzhong's ear.
