Chapter 164: Tianqing Mansion Meeting
Zhao Jiantian's tears flowed like a river, his face was covered with mud, and his front placket was soaked. still hugged Niu Qianjin's thighs and rubbed desperately against him. The blood directly dyed Niu Qianjin's bright blue brocade pants with a flower.
Niu Qianjin tried hard but couldn't push it away, and shouted urgently: "You kid let go." Stay away from me, I'm the new pants. What nonsense are you talking about! How did I become your brother-in-law, you explain it to me? ”
Zhao Jiantian was reluctant to let go, wiped his tears, and wept: "Ah! Brother-in-law, you don't know. My righteous brother He Biao, he said to me in person yesterday: 'Brother Zhao, I am like a brother to you, and it stands to reason that you should have worshiped my door a long time ago. Tomorrow, I will take you to the Mugang, and when the time comes, we will become brothers, and you will recognize my father-in-law Liu as my father-in-law! From now on, we will be a family. There is wine to drink and meat to eat. So I rejoiced for a day. But who would have thought that the jealous heroes died early, and it was difficult for good people in the world to live long! Before we had time to bow our respects, this kind of tragedy happened. But I have long recognized He Biao as my brother and Liu Gang Master as my father-in-law in my heart. In the afternoon, when the county magistrate was hiding elite soldiers in the yamen and assassinating his father-in-law, I was not in the yamen, and I had no chance to stop them. In this way, I can only hide my thoughts and want to assassinate the dog official to take revenge. But I don't want to, that dog officer is cunning, and before I can do it, he sentenced him to collaborate with the enemy, not only dismissed me, but also beaten by him with eighty sticks. Now, I am barely alive to avenge my brother! ”
Zhao Jiantian cried with tears, a handful of snot and tears, and fooled everyone into nodding again and again. People in the rivers and lakes pay the most attention to righteousness, and when they hear these words, whether they are true or not, it is not good to embarrass Zhao Jiantian again.
Niu Qianjin listened sadly, patted Zhao Jiantian on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Brother Zhao! No, brother-in-law! You've worked hard. What a good brother. When I take down the head of that guy, I will definitely avenge our father and eldest brother. From now on, you will be my brother. Good brothers for a lifetime, there is meat to eat! ”
Niu Qianjin was stupid, and he really recognized Zhao Jiantian as his eldest brother. And the other characters also believed most of them. Zhao Jiantian was lucky to steal his life, and his heart was also happy. Still with tears in his eyes, he held Niu Qianjin's hand tightly, nodded hard, and said, "Brother-in-law!" I have found a family for my brother! ”
The disciples of the Mu Gang and Donglai Sect were all fooled by Zhao Jiantian with tears in their eyes. Even Liu Jiehao and Mo Lushan comforted him. Then he sent a few more disciples to carry Zhao Jiantian and Jia Xu back home to treat their injuries.
Jia Xu was carried home, and his wife Wang saw that her husband was covered in blood and thought he was dead. Howling and crying, the neighbors on the left and right all watched when they saw the movement.
And after Jia Xu and the other Mu Gang disciples left, he pretended to open his eyes with great effort and whispered a few words to the Wang family. Wang took the neighbors who watched left and right and closed the courtyard door.
There was no one in the courtyard, so Jia Xu got up and went into the house to change clothes and wash his face.
When Wang turned around and saw that Jia Xu had recovered from his illness, he wondered: "Old man, are you okay?" I thought you were dying. ”
Jia Xu replied with a smile: "I pretended to be able to take a few sticks on my butt just now, but it wasn't that powerful." The blood was coated beforehand. ”
Wang asked, "Ah, what is this statement?" I heard that your Dongjie County Ya has come to live Yama. I would have liked to see you, too. But the street has been blocked by the wooden gang. I had no choice but to go home. Tell me what's going on? ”
Jia Xu put on a clean silk robe and instructed the Wang family: "Don't worry about this, don't ask a woman's house." Go and rent me a carriage, and when someone asks you, they say, "I'm going to see a doctor." After a while, I left in a carriage. Take all the money you have and go back to your parents' house. If I am alive tomorrow, I will go and fetch you. If I die. You can retire in your mother's home. The family's money, saving a little money, is enough to eat and drink for a lifetime. ”
Wang's face was worried: "What's the matter? What happened? Is there really going to be an accident at the Yamen on East Street? I've heard that he's killed a lot of people. Otherwise, you can run with me. Big deal, let's not do this work in the future. ”
Jia Xu frowned and said, "Don't say more." A gentleman must not be dishonest with others. Since you have agreed, you must do your best. Besides, there is no place in the world to live. As long as there are people, they have to be bullied. Hurry up and pack your things. ”
Jia Xu changed into new clothes, put on a hat, covered himself tightly, and took a carriage to Tianqing Mansion to find Yuwen Zifan.
And at this time, in the inner hall of the council. Tianqing Mansion, Neisi Mansion, Tianwei Mansion, the fifteen incumbents of the three mansions, a total of twelve came. Eighteen other generals also came. They are also deliberating on how to deal with the chaos in the Yamen on East Street.
The Yin and Yang Division is in charge of this matter, and Yuwen Zifan should be the first to speak.
Listen to him speak, "Everyone. The backstage of the Mu Gang and Donglaimen is Yin Shaozheng, if we send troops, we are afraid of causing greater trouble. This Luo Fan is arrogant, and he killed so many people in one day. Such a person will inevitably die sooner or later. I don't think it's necessary to cause chaos in the world to save him. So, my opinion is simple, leave him to fend for himself. Tomorrow, we'll clean up the mess. ”
After Yuwen Zifan finished speaking, everyone present nodded. Only the Generalissimo Yu Wenzhao of the Heavenly Guardian God Hunt frowned. He is the elder brother of Yuwen Zifan, and he is also the one with the highest ability and prestige among the young disciples of the Iron Leader, and he is also Li Benxin's right-hand man. And he was an upright man who never showed favoritism.
Yuwen Zhao listened to Yuwen Zifan's opinion, and said in a straight voice: "I don't agree with Yuwen Zifan's statement. Whether or not to send troops is not to see who the other party is, but to follow the laws of the dynasty. Liu Tong and others rushed into the yamen to commit murder, and were killed by others, which was in accordance with the law. Could it be that if someone kills us in the yamen, we can't resist? In this way, where is the majesty of the dynasty? My suggestion is that troops should be sent to extinguish the prestige of these two gangs, so as not to let them continue to be arrogant. ”
After Yuwen Zhao finished speaking, the others chose to be silent at the same time. It seems that they do not agree with him very much.
In the morning, Tian Heng, the god who had just been beaten by Luofan, sat with a straight face. He is in his early forties, with a square face and big eyes, dark skin, and bulging muscles, and he is also a top master of the iron master.
Hearing Yu Wenzhao say that he was going to send troops, Tian Heng said coldly: "This Luo Fan has only been here for a day, and he has offended two Tianqing and two gangs. If we insist on saving him, it is equivalent to directly becoming enemies of the five major families. Tomorrow morning, the king of Tiandu will be embarrassed by his ministers. When the time comes, how will we explain to the king? If the four major families cause chaos because of this, no one can afford to pay this responsibility. They must not send troops to protect the Dongjie County Government, and they should deal with the trouble they themselves caused! ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The Inner Division's Mansion is a product of Tianqing, and the god catches Li Jiudou. also had a serious face, and echoed: "That's true." It's not that we don't want to save it, it's that we can't save it. Think about it, we can't take care of such a major event as the killing of the military minister. What's more, the Yamen of East Street is a sesame petty official. It is too unwise to offend the four major families for him. If we protect him today, the four major families will inevitably be dispatched tomorrow. When the time comes, I am afraid that I will force the king of Tiandu to personally kill that Luofan, so that the king of Tiandu will be trapped and unjust. ”
After Li Jiudou finished speaking, everyone also nodded, thinking that it was reasonable.
Speaking of this Li Jiudou, he is not only Li Ben's confidant, but also his father-in-law. He naturally spoke for Li Benxin's consideration. The old man is nearly seventy years old, with white hair and beard, and a thin face and shrewdness. He was originally a declining aristocrat surnamed Li, and his subordinates gathered a group of coolies and built a mess of clothes. Specializing in things like dredging sewers, sweeping streets, and cleaning swill.
This person has sparse skills, but he knows how to see the wind and steer the rudder. At the beginning, Li Benxin had just ascended to the throne and no one was optimistic. He gave his two good-looking daughters to Li Benxin. In this way, Li Benxin trusted this Li Jiudou very much, and promoted him to the high position of Yipin Tianqing.
Seeing Li Jiudou speak, everyone naturally agreed.
Yuwen Zifan persuaded his eldest brother Yuwen Zhao again, and said: "Big brother, this Luo Fan really can't be saved." He is notoriously not afraid of the sky. I've already investigated him clearly. He never blinked an eye when he killed, and he killed more than 10,000 people at a young age. You haven't heard the legends of the people outside, that kid said that the king of Tiandu violated the law, and he dared to kill him. Let's save him, there will be more trouble later. Anyway, this kid is not a good person, so we don't need to make a mess of the world for him. ”
Hearing this, other gods and catchers also began to count the arrogance of the mortals. For a time, the proposal to send troops to rescue turned into a scene of condemnation of the mortal.
Yu Wenzhao saw that he was the only one in favor of sending troops, and it was not easy to offend the anger of the public. Moreover, this meeting was discussed at the behest of Li Benxin. The opinion of the crowd is equivalent to the opinion of Li Benxin. If he insists on going his own way to save him, people will say that he is stubborn and does not obey the king's will. In this way, he will inevitably lose Li Benxin's trust.
