Chapter 128: Subordinates Fight Against Water, Bloody Rain
"Shhhh
Zhao Laohan's tears of pain were about to come out, and Li Zhong let go of his big hand and apologized again and again.
"It's actually quite simple."
Zhao Laohan rubbed his somewhat reddened arm, leaned over mysteriously and whispered.
"Do you still remember the sensational Lu An's rebellion half a year ago?
Is it the son of the richest man in the capital in the past, and the later head of the Qingyan Pavilion, Lu An? ”
When Li Zhong heard this, he immediately nodded, but a look of vigilance instantly appeared on his face, "What do you mean!" ”
"It's very simple, as long as the brother puts a handprint on this, your difficulties can be solved in an instant!"
After speaking, Zhao Laohan took out a piece of paper from his arms and brought it to Li Zhong.
Li Zhong took it in his hand, took a cursory glance, and immediately became furious and tore the piece of paper to pieces!
"Zhao Laohan! You bastard, you actually want Lao Tzu to betray General Lei, and you are impatient!
If it weren't for the neighborly relationship, Lao Tzu would have pounded your head right now! ”
Zhao Laohan's face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, and laughed disdainfully.
"Hehe, Lao Tzu has suffered all his life, and he never wants to be looked down upon in the future!"
"You have also seen that Lao Tzu is now eating big fish and meat, and he has a beautiful wife to warm the bed, this is the life of a person!"
"Look at you again, hehe."
"I have a lot of debts, and I can't even keep my only sister, and I still talk about righteousness, it's ridiculous!"
"Think about it before, we were also neighbors, at that time, your Li family wanted to have land, money, and a beautiful sister, if you marry a big official one day, you don't have to worry about it in this life."
"Even you yourself are not bad, with your military merits as a team leader of the city guard, forty or fifty people under your command, and you have also won the title of Captain Zhiguo awarded by the imperial court, what a beautiful scenery!"
"But now?"
"You're welcome, even the beggars on the street are better than you!"
"At least people don't owe money!"
"Look at the General Lei you want to protect, whether he is the son of the waiting master, or the general of the imperial court Sanpin Zhengzhen, he lacks nothing."
"Now that you're in trouble, did that General Lei help you?"
"If General Lei is willing to pay off the debt for you, just treat what Lao Tzu said just now as a fart!"
Zhao Laohan scolded and scolded, and took a sip of wine, where is the enthusiasm just now, he is completely a ruffian!
Li Zhong also came back to his senses, and although he didn't get angry again, he still shook his head stubbornly, "Anyway, it's absolutely impossible for me to betray General Lei, or even frame me out of thin air!" "
"How can this be a false accusation out of thin air?" Seeing that Li Zhong's attitude was relaxed, Zhao Laohan was interested again and persuaded earnestly.
"Think about it, the words on that piece of paper just now were not what General Lei once said, right?"
"You just identified what you heard, and didn't say a word."
"Besides, if you think about it, two months ago you were still in the city protectorate, but now?"
"At the beginning, you bet the team's brand on the gambling table, although General Lei brought money to help you redeem it, but afterwards he not only rewarded you with twenty military sticks, but also demoted you to the deputy of the team, and even took back the title of captain of Zhiguo."
"After all, you are also brothers who live and die together on the battlefield, does he still have a little humanity towards you like that?"
"Aren't you stupid to talk to this kind of person!"
"Think about it, you are now at the end of your rope, even if you die, your sister may suffer, and that General Lei is not his little marquis like this?"
"If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy you, brother!"
The more Zhao Laohan said, the more intense the struggle in Li Zhong's eyes became.
Seeing this, Zhao Laohan sighed again, "Brother, I think about you all the time, I don't want to see your future ruined at such a young age, and your sister will be sold to that unclean place."
Of course, as for how you choose, it's up to you. ”
After speaking, Zhao Laohan stopped speaking, poured two more bowls of wine, and the room was quiet.
After a while, Li Zhong took a sip of the wine in the bowl, stretched out his hand, and sighed, "Brother, borrow me fifty taels first!" ”
"If I don't turn it over this time, I'll—"
"Well said!" Zhao Laohan happily took out an ingot of fifty taels of silver and slapped it on the table.
"Gone!" Li Zhong put away the silver, took the remaining half of the roast chicken on the table, and went out.
"Hey, what a fool!" Zhao Laohan took a sip disdainfully.
At the end of the day, at the gate of the Guiyi gambling house, Li Zhong was kicked out again.
Li Zhong, whose eyes were red, wandered sourly on the street, and unconsciously walked to the door of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.
The night was already deep, Li Zhong pricked up his ears, and vaguely heard the occasional sound of drinking and feasting in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and immediately smiled desolately.
Li Zhong wiped his face, with a resolute look in his eyes, and strode on the doors of several houses at night.
Half an hour later, twenty or thirty soldiers of the city guard army were called to Zhao Laohan's house.
"Brothers, we are all good brothers who were born and died."
"You also know Lao Tzu's situation, and in the past few months, in order to help Lao Tzu pay off his debts, you have also suffered a lot of crimes."
"However, there is a chance today, not only can Lao Tzu get out of the predicament, but the money he owes you before can be repaid to you as soon as possible, and even pay you more."
The soldiers who were called over by Li Zhong were all his subordinates, as he said, during this time, everything that could be borrowed had been borrowed by him, and these subordinate brothers naturally could not avoid it.
If it weren't for Li Zhong being their boss, I'm afraid they would have avoided it too far.
Now Li Zhong said that he had the opportunity to repay them and even earn more, so he naturally asked curiously.
After touching for about an hour, Li Zhong took ten or thirty people with his hands, and all pressed their handprints on the paper prepared by Zhao Laohan.
Early the next morning, Li Zhong led people to Dali Temple at the same time.
At the same time, the Marquis of Jing'an.
"Jin'er, hurry up!"
"Dad, why?" Lei Jin was puzzled.
Lei Leopard roared, "There's no time, don't ask anything!" ”
"But-" As soon as Lei Jin said two words, he saw Lei Leopard glaring at the bull's eye and slamming his palm on the back of his neck, and Lei Jin immediately fainted to the ground.
"Old Five, you should put on a simple makeup immediately, and put your strength on the rotten grass cart and go out of the city!"
Lei Leopard's expression was extremely solemn, "Old Five, you have followed Ben Hou for decades, and Ben Hou may not be able to escape this time."
However, Jin'er is still young, and Ben Hou can't let my Lei family break its roots!
In any case, you have to find a way to get Jin out of the capital safely.
After leaving Beijing, you can go wherever you go, but you must never return to Beijing, let alone be impulsive! ”
The fifth child, the housekeeper of the Lei family, immediately knelt down in front of Lei Leopard, with tears in his eyes, and solemnly kowtowed, "Hou Ye rest assured, even if the old slave dies, he will definitely protect the little Hou Ye to leave Beijing safely!" ”
"Master Hou...... Take care! ”
