Shao Xi came to the main hall, and saw Long Qitai and Fu Biao standing in the hall talking and laughing, it seemed that the errand was going well, and Shao Xi was also at ease.

Long Qitai and Fu Biao saw Shao Xi coming, and the two hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Shao Xi saw their dusty appearance, they should have just returned to Daliang City.

So he was not polite to them, and directly dragged the two to the back hall.

This big family doesn't have to wait for hours to prepare a table of banquets, and when they come to the back hall, a table of wine and food has been prepared, and Shao Xi doesn't ask much, let the two of them sit down and eat first.

These two people also don't seem to have eaten well or slept well along the way, their faces are sallow, and their eyes are blue.

At this time, seeing this table of sumptuous wine and food, they didn't care about being polite in front of Shao Xi, and the two of them ate like a storm.

Shao Xi drank slowly with a wine glass in one hand and a wine jug in the other.

While drinking, Shao Xi pondered, these two people rushed back in a hurry, could it be that something happened on the way?

But just now I saw that the two of them had such relaxed expressions, which meant that they had successfully brought Li Rui back to Daliang City, but what was the reason for them to rush back in such a hurry?

Seeing that the two of them were almost full, Shao Xi smiled and poured a glass of wine for each of them.

Happily asked: "I never expected the two of you to come back so quickly, according to my expectations, why would it take a month and a half, but you came back in less than a month?" I don't know why? ”

Long Qitai and Fu Biao glanced at each other, and the two of them couldn't help but be happy.

In the end, it was Long Qitai who took the lead and said to Shao Xi: "On the way to Fengyang County, I heard Brother Fu Biao say that before the end of the year, brother you will go to Qingshan County to build a cemetery for your younger siblings.

"The most important thing is to avenge my younger brothers and sisters on this trip, and clean up those corrupt officials and evil officials, how can I miss such a thing, brother? I asked Brother Fu Biao, and he also wanted to rush back as soon as possible to go to Qingshan County with Brother Shao.

"So the two of us discussed, and after we got Li Rui in Fengyang County, we didn't do any prisoner car escort, and directly tied him to a horse, and the three of us hurried away with three horses and three horses in the starry night, and finally returned to Daliang City within a month.

"Brother, I can tell you, the two of us have worked hard to come back, and you must take the two of us with you when you go to Qingshan County in a few days, otherwise we will work so hard in vain.

"Besides, brother, didn't you promise me to transfer me to the 'Jing Cheng Division' after this errand is completed? Dude, I can't wait! When I accompany you to Castle Peak County, brother, I will go with you as a 'Kei Cheng Division'.

"I want to see what kind of goods killed my brother and sister in the first place? To avenge my younger brothers and sisters, I must have a share of the elder brother, and I will personally handle the beheading of my brother. ”

Shao Xi also felt that the reason why the two of them were in a hurry to come back was that they couldn't cry or laugh, so the two of them dragged Li Rui back day and night, dead or alive, day and night?

It is reasonable for you two martial arts cultivators to be in such a hurry, but Li Rui is a perennial pampered civil official, where can you stand such a toss all the way?

Just looking at the current appearance of Long Qitai and Fu Biao, Shao Xi didn't dare to imagine how miserable Li Rui was at this time?

"Judging by the appearance of the two of you, you have just returned to Daliang City, and you shouldn't have been to any other place, I don't know where Li Rui, who was escorted back by the two of you, is now?"

Fu Biao just drank a glass of wine, raised his sleeve and wiped it on his mouth, and replied: "The two of us did rush back directly as soon as we entered the city, then Li Rui is now being held in the backyard, and his brothers are watching him!" ”

Shao Xixin said, good guy! You two are really trouble-free, and you just brought people to my house.

Hurriedly called Liu Fu and asked him to go to the backyard to bring Li Rui to the back hall.

After a while, I saw the guards in the house escorting Li Rui to the back hall, Shao Xi raised his eyes and looked, I'll go! That's a bit miserable, isn't it?

I saw that Li Rui's prison uniform was dirty and rotten, and he was wearing a tattered cotton robe casually outside, with shackles on his hands and feet, and he looked unkempt.

His hair was scattered and dusty, his face was covered with thick dust, and even his eyebrows and beard were covered with dry blades of grass.

Shao Xixin said that you two don't treat others as people! How many sins did Ruth suffer?

Li Rui's original chubby body has been tossed along the way, not to mention that it is skinny and skinny, at least this weight loss effect is enough to envy a lot of little fairies.

Where is this still the Li Rui I knew at the beginning? Seeing his current appearance, Shao Xi felt a little unbearable in his heart.

Although he was greedy for money, acted for the tiger, and helped the Tong family father and son to harm many people in Fengyang County, but in the officialdom, because of Yu Ji's relationship, to a certain extent, he was also helpless.

It's not that Shao Xi excuses him, it's just that the reality in officialdom has always been like this, and now seeing Li Rui like this, Shao Xi has some compassion.

Because he was ordered by the Holy God to bring him to Kyoto for trial, the shackles on his body could not be removed at will, so Shao Xi ordered someone to move a stool over and let Li Rui sit down.

Rushing back all the way, Long Qitai and Fu Biao were like starving ghosts, and it is conceivable that Li Rui must have been hungry at this time.

Shao Xi didn't speak, just raised his hand to signal him to eat something, Li Rui looked at Shao Xi in front of him with frightened eyes, and couldn't understand what he meant.

But seeing Shao Xi signaling several times, the aroma of the wine and food on the table finally made him not care so much, and he didn't even use chopsticks, so he reached out and grabbed it in the dish and stuffed it into his mouth.

Shao Xi poured a glass of wine and pushed it in front of him, and said softly, "Eat slowly, don't worry, if it's not enough, after you're full, I'll order someone to take you to bathe and change your clothes, and then send you to where you should go." ”

As soon as Li Rui heard this, his whole body was numb!

Good wine and good food, after eating, you have to bathe and change clothes, and then send yourself to where you should go, where to send it? It can't be sent to the underworld, right? Isn't this meal in front of you a severed head?

Li Rui was so frightened that he knelt in front of Shao Xi with a "plop", and his whole body trembled like chaff.

His voice trembled and begged Shao Xi for mercy: "Lord Shao spare your life!" The lower officials knew that they were guilty of a lot of sin, and they should not be in the same league with the father and son of the Tong family and harm the local people in Fengyang County.

"I also hope that Lord Shao will be able to correct his mistakes when he knows his mistakes, fully cooperate with Lord Shao to investigate and deal with the crimes of the Tong family, and give the officials a chance to live, and the next official will repay Lord Shao for not killing him if he is a cow or a horse in the next life."

Shao Xi was amused by Li Rui's play, and said with a smile: "Which one said he wanted to kill you?" It is the will of the Holy God to bring Lord Li to Kyoto for interrogation this time, and who would dare to lynch your head without the Holy Lord's nod?

"However, the Holy Lord has handed over this case to this official to investigate, as long as you cooperate with this official, not only do you not have to die, but this official will also entertain Lord Li with delicious food and drink, you don't have to think nonsense, just listen to my arrangement with peace of mind."

Seeing that Shao Xi was so polite to Li Rui, Long Qitai and Fu Biao also looked at each other, and they didn't understand why Shao Xi was courteous to a court offender.

Of course, they didn't know that Shao Xi's fundamental purpose in bringing Li Rui to Kyoto was not to hold him accountable, but just to use him to contain Yu Ji, as long as Li Rui kept it in his hands, Yu Ji would have to obey his words.

Li Rui is just a tool used by Shao Xi to control Yu Ji, since it is a tool, of course, we must pay attention to maintenance, and we must not let it be damaged in any way, otherwise how can Yu Ji's money cabinet let him get what he wants?

When Li Rui saw Shao Xi say this, he was still skeptical for a while, Shao Xi signaled that he was full, and at the same time ordered Liu Fu to arrange for someone to prepare the bathing needs, and then prepare a set of clean clothes, and take him to the bath and change clothes after Li Rui was full.

Li Rui saw that Shao Xi had made such an arrangement, and he no longer had any doubts, so he completely cleaned up the food that Long Qitai and Fu Biao had swept, and after he was full, he was escorted by the guards in the mansion to follow Liu Fu out of the back hall.

Although Long Qitai and Fu Biao didn't understand Shao Xi's actions, they didn't ask much.

They knew in their hearts that everything Shao Xi did must have a purpose, and now that the person had brought it back, how Shao Xi dealt with it was his business, and the two of them could be regarded as having a deal.

So Fu Biao got up and bowed his hand to Shao Xi and asked to go back to the room to tidy himself up.

Shao Xi looked at his grizzled face, and knew that he had suffered a lot of hard work along the way, so he motioned for him to go back to bathe and change his clothes and take a good rest.

After Fu Biao retreated, Shao Xi turned his head and said to Long Qitai: "Brother Long has really worked hard this time, brother here to toast the eldest brother again, and the brother will set up a table again for the eldest brother in the Moon Tower, and wash the dust for Brother Long." ”

Long Qitai raised his arm and waved his hand, and said to Shao Xi with a look of "don't talk nonsense": "It doesn't matter if you don't wash the dust, it's just a drink!" The two of us brothers can drink at any time.

"It's just that brother, you have to take it to heart, brother, you promised me personally, and now that I've finished this errand, brother, should you handle the matter of my brother and me joining the 'Jingcheng Division'?"

Shao Xi laughed at what Long Qitai said, it seems that the matter of joining the "Jing Chengsi" on an errand is still a very important thing for Long Qitai.

So he patted his chest in a big way.

"Brother Long, just rest assured, I will enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint, a person like Brother Long who does his best is what I'Jing Chengsi needs most, brother, since I promised the eldest brother, how could I break my promise and get fat? In the future, brothers will have to worry about many things, and Brother Long will have to work a lot hard. ”

Long Qitai saw that Shao Xi agreed to come down, so he leaned back on the chair with satisfaction.

"In order to complete the errand assigned by my brother, my eldest brother almost put my old life on the line, and now with the word brother, my brother and I will feel at ease, but this Li Rui doesn't know what his brother plans to do?"

"Anyway, it can't be placed in your Dali Temple, it's too unsafe there, I will directly send him to the prison of 'Jing Chengsi' and arrange special people to guard him.

"In the future, when Brother Long joins the 'Jing Cheng Division', this matter of guarding and taking care of Li Rui will be handed over to the eldest brother.

"Not only can this person not die, even if there are some minor illnesses and pains, he must hurry up and ask Lang Zhong to treat him, in short, this person can't go on any errands, he is very useful in my hands."

Long Qitai didn't ask much, he only knew that this was the first errand that Shao Xi arranged for him after he entered the "Jing Cheng Division", and he had to complete it to the letter no matter what.

Since Shao Xi can trust him, he can't live up to Shao Xi's trust.
