Jingshi Suspicion Chapter 95 Tang Da's revenge
When the sky dawned, the situation in the capital had already settled, and then the imperial court ordered the blockade to be lifted.
The soldiers of the forbidden army, who had taken over the defense of the capital, opened the city gates, and the people in the city poured out of the city like a tidal wave.
The chaos of this night, the chaos and fighting in the capital all night, made these people in the capital have already frightened their courage, once they can get out of the city, hurry up and leave this place of right and wrong.
Of course, there are also some people outside the city who are anxiously waiting to enter the city, their relatives are still in the city, and they are anxious to go home to see if it is safe.
There was a chaotic entry and exit at the city gate, and a beggar in the crowd was caught in the crowd and walked out of the capital.
He wore a broken straw hat on his head, his clothes were dirty and torn, his left hand was hung from his chest with a cloth belt, and he carried a wooden stick in his right hand.
After leaving the city, he did not follow the people of the brigade on the main road, but quietly walked slowly and slowly along the side of the road, seeing that no one was paying attention, and suddenly quickly plunged into the waist-high wild grass beside the road.
He buried his head and breathed for an unknown amount of time, and the surroundings became more and more desolate, and there was no one around.
There was a forest in front of it, and a small stream flowed through it.
The beggar looked back vigilantly for a long time, and when he was sure that no one was following, he slowly walked to the brook and sat down on a rock.
He gasped sharply, raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, and the running along the way obviously consumed a lot of physical strength.
He stretched out his hand and slowly took off the broken straw hat on his head, under the sun, with that square face, he turned out to be Li Feihu, the commander of the capital patrol battalion who started the rebellion last night!
Hasn't Li Feihu been shot to death by the British Gong Zhang Fu in the imperial river outside the palace?
How did he end up here?
Li Feihu slowly untied the dirty and torn clothes on his body, his chest was wrapped in a cloth towel, faintly soaked with blood, it seems that Zhang Fu's arrow last night did not hit the vital point, he escaped death and picked up a life.
He leaned down, picked up a pinch of water from the stream with one hand, washed his embarrassed face, and took a few sips to moisten his thirsty throat, and then leaned against the boulder and breathed a long sigh of relief.
It seems that this time there was no danger of escaping again.
Last night, when the British Gong Zhang Fu shot that arrow at Li Feihu, even he thought he was going to die.
But I didn't expect that this Zhang Fu was about to be in the middle of the court for a long time, pampered, and abandoned archery, or maybe he was lucky, although this arrow hit the chest, it didn't hurt the internal organs, but just shot a hole in the right one.
When the arrow fell into the river, the others thought he was going to die. But they don't know that Li Feihu's hometown is on the edge of the Yangtze River, and he has been catching fish and shrimp in the rolling river since he was a child.
It was by virtue of his extraordinary water nature that Li Feihu swam all the way and escaped the search, and later killed a beggar hiding in the alley, disguised himself as him, mixed in the crowd out of the city, and escaped from the capital.
He didn't dare to take the big road, so he only chose this wilderness path, and walked for half a day to get here.
He checked carefully all the way, there were no chasing soldiers, this place is more than ten miles away from the capital, in the wilderness, there should be no sentry posts or anything like that, it seems that now he is finally safe.
Li Feihu sat by the stream with his back against the boulder, and only now did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He suddenly wanted to laugh and looked up to the sky and laughed.
What if the emperor has set up a net between heaven and earth? What if he is now defeated?
Now isn't he, Li Feihu, still out of danger safely? Isn't his head still growing on his neck?
But he wanted to cry a little.
He has a pair of iron fists and skills, and has been fighting bloodily in the army for decades, and he wants to do something and achieve meritorious deeds.
Unexpectedly, because he did not have the background of the court, he was only a small commander of the capital patrol battalion fifty miles away, and because he made a wrong bet, he lost all his money, and now he is alone, with a broken arm, and escaped with injuries.
Could it be that his fate is really the same as that of his senior brother Tie Ruthless, he is old or has nothing to achieve, and his ambitions are difficult to achieve?
Li Feihu only felt an inexplicable sadness and indignation surging in his heart.
Just as he was sitting here thinking and thinking wildly, a man suddenly slowly walked out of the woods.
This person has a thin face, three locks of long beard, and looks quite scholarly, walking out of the forest with his hands behind his back, but staring directly at Li Feihu with a pair of eyes.
Li Feihu was shocked in his heart, where would there be scholars in this wilderness? It seems that the person who came must be unkind.
He fastened the broken straw hat to his head again, stood up, leaned on his stick, and pretended to be limping to leave.
At this time, the scholar shouted: "Commander Li, go slowly!"
Li Feihu's heart sank, and he really came for himself!
He clenched the wooden stick in his hand, no longer pretending to be limping, slowly turned to face the scholar, and asked in a deep voice, "What advice does the gentleman have?"
The scholar said: "Commander Li finally fled here from the capital with an injury, why don't you take a break and leave so soon?"
Li Feihu's heart tightened, could it be that this person was sent by the emperor to hunt down and kill him?
He asked, "Who are you?"
The scholar smiled faintly and said, "Tang Da in Xia Shu!"
Of course Li Feihu has heard of this name, the Tang Sect in Shuzhong is second to none in the rivers and lakes, and the eldest young master Tang Da is even more famous in the world.
He was relieved in his heart, after all, no matter how powerful Tang Da was, in the final analysis, he was just a man in the rivers and lakes, and he would not be a chaser sent by the emperor.
So he bowed to Tang Da and said with some flattery: "I have admired the name for a long time, it turns out that Tang Da Shao of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong is really fortunate to see it, and his demeanor is shining, it is indeed better to be famous than to meet." ”
Tang Da didn't return the salute, looked at Li Feihu with his hands behind his back and smiled a little arrogantly, and said sarcastically: "It's very unfortunate to be here, seeing that Commander Li is actually dressed like this, it's really better to be famous when you meet." ”
Li Feihu's heart sank, his face changed, Tang Da's words were clearly full of provocations, and it seemed that he had bad intentions towards himself at all.
But why is that?
He couldn't help but ask: "The contemptible people and the Tang Sect have always had no grievances and no hatreds, and the river water does not interfere with the well water, so why should you be aggressive?
Tang Da laughed twice: "Originally, we really had no grievances, but a friend asked me to ask Commander Li to pay off an old account. ”
Li Feihu was completely confused, he usually has no vices, he is neither good at gambling nor woman, and he doesn't owe any debts outside, isn't this Tang Da mistaken?
As he struggled to remember, he asked, "What old accounts?"
Tang Da sneered and said, "Commander Li forgets a lot of things, and thinks about how to raise troops to rebel against these big things all day long, but do you still remember Songjiazhuang in western Sichuan thirty years ago?"
Songjiazhuang in western Sichuan?
As soon as Li Feihu heard this name, he immediately felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to have coagulated, and he felt chills for a while.
This place was a haunting nightmare for his life, a place he would never want to talk about again.
Tang Da saw his expression and knew that he had remembered, and said coldly: "Thirty years ago, Commander Li was still a small military attache in Shuzhong, and you were once assigned by your boss to lead a thousand officers and troops to the mountains of western Sichuan to exterminate a group of mountain bandits within a limited time. ”
"The mountains of western Sichuan are deep and densely forested, one is that the mountain bandits are cunning, and you have searched several times but have found nothing, and the other is that you only have a thousand men and horses, and the mountain bandits are as many as thousands, and you are afraid of being outnumbered and dare not attack rashly. ”
"Seeing that the deadline given to you by your boss is approaching, one day, you came to a small village called Songjiazhuang. The people of Zhuangzhong are usually harassed by the mountain bandits, and when they learned that you had come to suppress the bandits, they warmly received you and treated you as guests. They didn't expect that at this time, you were planning a criminal plan in your heart!"
When Li Feihu heard this, his whole body trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his head.
Tang Da looked at his reaction, but his mouth did not relax and said in one breath: "That night, you took the 1,000 unconscionable officers and soldiers to slaughter all the more than 300 men in Songjiazhuang, and cut off all their heads and took them away, leaving only more than 100 women and children. ”
"Then you went back and used these more than 300 heads to risk the army's military skills, claiming that you had broken the mountain bandits, and the rest of the bandits fled without a trace. You have made great contributions, and your boss is overjoyed and asks for credit from the court for you. Coupled with your private use of money activities, shortly thereafter, you were transferred to the capital to take up a post. ”
Later, the women and children of Songjiazhuang complained everywhere, but because the officials protected each other, no one was willing to ask for trouble, so no one paid attention. Later, a chivalrous warrior came, who took revenge for these women and children, and killed all the 1,000 officers and soldiers. But because you have already gone to Beijing to take up your post at this time, you escaped. ”
"In the past 30 years, you have risen step by step, and today you are already the commander of the patrol battalion in the capital, but you conspired to rebel, and finally ended up like this. You can't imagine that someone will come to you at this time to ask you for the blood debt you oweed back then, right?"
After listening to Tang Da's words, Li Feihu's face was already like ashes, and his heart was shocked and frightened.
In fact, thirty years ago, he was young and vigorous, and offended his boss, so he was framed by his boss and asked him to lead a thousand officers and soldiers to outnumber, and he had to break the thief within a time limit, otherwise his head would fall to the ground.
He also made this decision out of desperation, and he often felt uneasy in his heart. Especially when he heard that the 1,000 officers and soldiers had been killed and all of them had their heads cut off, he was even more alarmed.
But after thirty years, there was no movement, and gradually he almost forgot about it, or rather, he chose not to think about it again.
I didn't expect that today, but I was told by Tang Da from beginning to end, and I had to ask myself to repay the blood debt, how could I not be frightened?
He asked in a trembling voice, "Even if this is the case, what does this have to do with your Shuzhong Tang Sect?
Tang Da stared at him with both eyes, and said categorically: "Of course it is related! Because the chivalrous warrior who fought for righteousness back then was my grandfather, and the two orphans of Songjiazhuang sacrificed their lives to save me in Songshan before. I promised them that the matter of Songjiazhuang is the matter of Tangjiabao, so today I will represent the three hundred souls of Songjiazhuang to repay this blood debt from you!"
