When Li Tianzhi said that he was only handsome because he was born, he was picked by Liu Zongmin to become a personal soldier, he smiled bitterly but was helpless.

The current military discipline of the Shun army is extremely chaotic, and many (righteous people) who are enthusiastic about street management have been recruited into the army from the local area, and as long as they show their loyalty, they can become real Shun soldiers.

He said his name, and then made up the identity of the son of a broken merchant, and soon became one of them, and was appointed by Liu Zongmin as a powerful general.

When Liu Zongmin appointed Li Tian, he explained that this was just a decoration, mainly to look better on the face, and he would be the captain of his royal personal soldiers in the future, responsible for accompanying him to the palace for banquets and meeting friends, etc.

Li Tian sat not far from Liu Zongmin, watching the tyrannical general drink and eat meat, while there were tragic cries of pain and begging for mercy outside, feeling that this scene was really very weird.

Liu Zongmin ate for a full hour, and when he was full, he poured a large mouthful of wine on his head and rinsed his mouth, then swallowed the leftover vegetables in his mouth, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve after the last meal.

He exhaled a long breath of satisfaction, which made the surrounding soldiers turn their heads sideways, and they actually laughed happily, very proud of his heavy breath.

A personal soldier respectfully asked, "Marquis Ru, now that there are 50 million taels of silver, can you let those people go?" ”

Liu Zongmin said angrily, "These corrupt officials and corrupt officials have taken a lot of money from the people, and they will not spit it out if they don't fight, we are managing the country on behalf of the people of the world, and of course we have to get this money back." ”

"I can't let go of these people, and I have to arrest all the people who used to be government-owned houses, check them one by one, and the salary will naturally be doubled!"

"The general is wise. The soldier respectfully flattered.

When Li Tian heard Liu Zongmin's words, his expression suddenly changed, and Li Banghua's family agreed to the conditions for being arrested, but they were afraid that it would not be safe there.

He was anxious to think of a way to get out in his heart, but he was sent by Liu Zongmin to guard Mingchen. You can't go out of the house at all.

Fortunately, Liu Zongmin still has a small number of Ming ministers who have not been tortured, so the expansion of the arrest of wealthy merchant officials will not start immediately, but there is still time to prepare.

The Ming officials were locked up in the backyard, surrounded by heavy guards, and hundreds of people had died, and the living people were constantly wailing and moaning.

Li Tian's arrival made Mingchen mourn, thinking that he had come to torture someone again, and even an official grabbed the waist knife of the soldier next to him and wiped his neck.

He couldn't help but sigh heavily, and said loudly, "You don't have to be afraid, I'm just here to replace the guards." ”

The ministers saw that Li Tian's attitude was not as vicious as other soldiers. I put my heart down and sat down, and suddenly someone kowtowed.

Li Tian wondered, "What are you doing here?"

Mingchen, who kept kowtowing, cried bitterly, "My lord, please let the minister go home, I really can't stand the punishment, there is really no money and silver at home to hand over the stolen goods." ”

Seeing this situation, the other ministers followed suit and kowtowed, "I beg the general to let me go home, all the money in the family has been handed over, don't torture again............"

The surrounding soldiers shouted and scolded, making the ministers quiet, and they beat and kicked in a row. Finally made the yard quiet again.

Li Tian noticed that one of the Ming ministers was lying on his side on the ground, his legs bent like soft noodles, crawling with flies crawling on it, and he kept kowtowing and opening his mouth but couldn't cry.

He couldn't stand the pleading look from the other party. Raising his legs and walking over slowly, Mingchen's cries became louder and louder wherever he passed, but he was afraid that the other Shun troops did not dare to move and approach.

Li Tian came to the side of this broken leg Mingchen, and suddenly felt a rancid smell emanating from his leg. It was already necrotic and had maggots.

Ming Chen looked at Li Tian's eyes, showed a desperate wry smile, and said in a low voice, "I am the only official among these people who has not been corrupt. Just because he can't hand over the money, but he is punished the heaviest, is this what a good person should do?"

Li Tian looked at Mingchen with a solemn expression, and said in silence for a long time, "I don't know much about what you are doing here, and I don't have the ability to let you go, I don't know if there is anything that Lu Dao can do to help you." ”

Mingchen showed a hint of joy in his eyes, and whispered weakly, "Now that I have become a wasted person who is not a human or a ghost, I just ask the general to borrow a sword, and I will be at ease when I die, and I will never be a good person again in the next life." ”

Li Tian frowned and asked, "What's your name?"

Mingchen smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, "I'm just a dying person, what's the use of knowing my name." ”

Li Tian said in a low voice, "I want to tell someone that there are still good officials among his courtiers. ”

Mingchen showed a strange look and hesitated, "Xiaguan called!"

"The Marquis of Ru is going to be interrogated, bring out those corrupt officials who don't pay the silver when they die, and try the corrupt official with the broken leg first today to see who dares not to pay the silver!"

Li Tian turned his head to look when he heard this, only to see a group of soldiers suddenly coming from outside the courtyard gate, and the leader shouted viciously.

A wail sounded in the courtyard, and Mingchen's faces showed a frightened expression, as if the heavens and the earth were about to collapse.

He suddenly felt the big knife in his hand hit something, and when he looked down, his heart tightened, only to see that the broken leg Mingchen himself used his neck to hit the blade, and he couldn't survive.

Mingchen slowly fell to the ground, blood continued to splash on his neck, and his body couldn't help twitching in a pool of blood, but there was a relieved smile on his face.

When he looked at Li Tian, his eyes were very strange, as if he wanted to say something, and as if he wanted to know what to say.

Li Tian leaned down and whispered to Mingchen, "Your Emperor Chongzhen is not dead, if this dynasty called Shun is not good for the people, I will help Chongzhen rebuild the Ming Dynasty." ”

Mingchen's eyes lit up suddenly, his expression was full of surprise and joy, and he looked at Li Tian again gratefully, and did not close his eyes until he stopped breathing.

The soldiers rushed into the courtyard like wolves to take people, and the Ming Chen, who was taken away, cried and shrank into a ball and screamed again and again, while the others lowered their heads and did not dare to look.

The leader of the Shun army walked up to Li Tian and complained, "What are you doing, this stingy and corrupt official is only willing to pay fourteen taels of silver, and the Marquis of Ru is preparing to retry him today!"

"Now this corrupt official committed suicide by hitting your knife, how can I explain to the Marquis of Ru, hmph!"

Li Tian slowly raised his head and said coldly to the leader, "I thought he was going to give an explanation of the place where the silver was hidden, but you suddenly came and yelled, and he committed suicide while I was not paying attention, and this responsibility should be borne by you." ”

The leader of the Shun army said angrily, "Bold boy! Dare to talk to the captain of this army! I don't want to live!"

A soldier who was a guard trotted over, muttered to the leader, and walked back.

The leader's face kept changing, and he said with a flattering smile at the end, "It turns out that you are the marquis's personal soldier, and you are so small that you shout too loudly, and you are guilty of sin. ”

Li Tian didn't want to cause trouble, so after the conflict did not escalate, he walked to the side of the courtyard, found a corner and stood still, ignoring anyone.

He listened to the crying of Mingchen who was dragged out of the courtyard, only to feel that his heart was extremely heavy, and said secretly, "How can I be sentimental, I won't say those words just now when I was organizing, what do these people care about themselves, it seems that the things left by Senna are still playing tricks." ”

"Li Tian, the Marquis of Ru ordered you to escort your wife to go shopping, and you also made a special explanation that you can't be alone with your wife, and you must have a maid present. A Liu Zongmin's personal soldier walked into the courtyard and said to Li Tiandao. (To be continued......)
