Lincheng Ink Chapter 165: Harvesting and Cutting

When the head of the Li family returned to his mansion, drunkenness struck, and he was already in a trance. If you don't have the help of the accompanying servants, I'm afraid that you will be unsteady in your footsteps early and fall and eat.

Even with this appearance, he still did not go back to his residence to rest, but asked the servants to help him go to the residence of his second son, Li Pinghong.

Li Pinghong only settled Li Qingshan's shirt at this time, and when the doctor used soju to clean the wound of this little beggar, Li Pinghong felt unbearable pain, but it was such a child who was less than ten years old, even though his hair was soaked with sweat, he still gritted his teeth and did not let out the slightest cry of pain.

There were too many wounds, and it was impossible to clean the dirty and even foul body that had emitted an unpleasant stench, but just a little wiping, the little beggar's face was seven or eight points clearer. There are many injuries on the face, look carefully, take a few more looks, and it is not difficult to see that this little beggar is handsome.

Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan, maybe he is trained by a good student, and this child can also be famous in the world in a green shirt in the future.

When he returned to his own residence, he saw that the door was open, and Li Pinghong also frowned slightly. He walked briskly forward, and when he entered the room, he smelled the pungent smell of wine. A snoring sound came from his bed irregularly, and he quickened his pace to the bed.

When he saw it clearly, his brows were flushed, and he was a little puzzled.

The boots and socks were not taken off, and he was lying drunk and sleeping on his bed, which was his father who was the official and the head of the Li family.

Li Pinghong didn't plan to wake up his sleeping father, so he sat down at the table by himself, poured water from the pot one cup after another, and drank it in small sips.

After about an hour and a half, Li Pinghong propped his elbows on the table, put his fists on his temples, and was already asleep. Someone tapped him lightly on the shoulder and whispered his name. Li Pinghong woke up, yawned, and stretched.

When he turned his head sideways, he saw his father. He stood straight at his side with his hands behind his back. There was helplessness in that look, and there was a faint love.

Li Pinghong stood up, bowed respectfully, and shouted "father".

The head of the Li family motioned for him to sit down, and then sat down himself. straightened a cup on the table and wanted to pour some water to drink, but the water in the teapot was drunk by Li Pinghong early, and he was a little helpless.

The head of the Li family put down the teapot and stared at his child with a blank face. Yunhong has grown up, and this kid has naturally grown up, so Zhu Yinuo, the little overlord, should also grow up. Thinking of a few years ago, Li Pinghong dragged Li Yunhong and Zhu Yinuo to the outside to make trouble, which was a troublesome thing in the past, but now I think about it and find it interesting.

A lot of his own private money was stolen by this kid, and he didn't dare to make it public, for fear that this kid's big worm-like mother would know that she was hiding private money, and she had to skin her own alive.

But when the child grows up, he will grow old. The old dragon king has an old day, and Zhu Yinuo has his own day of growing up. Then, as the child grows up, many of the Li family's trivial matters should be handed over to him little by little.

Seeing his father staring at him like this, he didn't speak, he was as smart as Li Pinghong, and he also understood that his father knew what happened outside the Forbidden City. He rose from the wooden bench, then bent his knees and fell to his knees.

The head of the Li family was still expressionless, and then listened to Li Pinghong's voice without waves, and said: "The child is at fault, please punish the father." ”

The head of the Li family suddenly smiled, and smiled comfortably, and he lifted his son up and made him sit back on the wooden bench. Then he sighed, and in that tone, there was no sadness and depression, more of an emotion.

"Pinghong, my father asked you, how is His Highness treating you?"

Li Pinghong didn't understand why his father suddenly asked like this, and then he didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Your Highness is a great talent, and you can be the master." ”

The head of the Li family smiled, this kid actually had a sloppy relationship with himself, and he asked how His Highness treated him, when did he want him to make an evaluation of His Highness?

Then the head of the Li family answered this question for Li Pinghong, his voice was calm, and he first spoke, saying: "There are talented people in the country, and a generation of new people replaces the old." The old prince should abdicate soon, so it's time for me, a bad old man, to unload his power. The Li family has assisted King Jinling for generations, but one generation is not as good as the next, and when it comes to the generation of his father, the so-called assistance is more often just errands. Pinghong, do you think you are better than your brother, alas, compared with Li Ganghong, in terms of governing the country and in terms of resourcefulness?"

After all, it is nameless after death, which is sad and lamentable.

Li Pinghong calmed down, and then replied: "There is a car of books, and a library of people. Knowing the changes, but not against the original intention. Pinghong, respected as the first brother!"

The last sentence was blazing in his eyes and earnest in his words. When the head of the Li family saw it, he couldn't say what he felt in his heart, but then he smiled, laughed comfortably, and laughed heartily.

"Don't lose your way, it's the foundation of the plotter. Pinghong, the Li family will have to rely on you in the future. "Rotten Books Network

Li Pinghong didn't understand what his father said, and his brows furrowed slightly, but then the head of the Li family stood up and walked outside the house. After taking two steps and stopping, he didn't look back, but just said, "Why don't you take your father to see our new young master of the Li family?"

When these words came out, Li Pinghong's eyes widened, and then his face was ecstatic. He thought about a hundred and ten results, but he never thought that his father would accept this little beggar so easily.

The father and son walked all the way, talking all the way.

The head of the Li family asked: "Pinghong, are you familiar with the law of my Daye?"

Li Pinghong nodded, his face was ashamed, and then said: "The Law of Daye "Whoever murders with the intention of murder is beheaded, so that those who do not add merit are hanged, and those who add merit are hanged with a staff of one hundred and three thousand miles; if they are injured and do not die, those who create intentions are hanged, so that those who do not add merit will be stranded with a staff of one hundred and three thousand miles, and those who add merit will be punished with a staff of one hundred and three years; if they have planned and done not hurt anyone, they will be given a hundred rods for three years, and each of them will be given a hundred rods, but the conspirators will all sit, and although the creator of his intention is not able to do it, he will still be the first, and the follower will not be able to reduce the first-class; if he gains wealth as a result, he will be killed with the robbers, regardless of the head and subordinate. ”

Hearing that Li Pinghong said the content of the "Criminal Law" in "Daye Law" word for word, the head of the Li family also nodded with satisfaction. He had three children, the eldest of whom everyone praised, but in the end he almost implicated the whole family. The second son and the third son are like little overlords in their mouths, but who can memorize "The Law of Daye" well, and who can travel freely with swords?

It's a pity, it's a pity, what's the use of memorizing the "Law of Daye" by heart? If you kill someone, you should be beheaded for public display, and the law is clear. No matter how bad it is, he will be exiled after a hundred rods, and this life will come to an end.

"Tell me, what about child trafficking?"

Li Pinghong couldn't help frowning, how could his father suddenly ask like this today?

"Those who devise strategies to lure their loved ones and abduct and sell the children of good families, regardless of whether the sale is successful or not, will send their way to the army, and if they die, their children and grandchildren will take over."

The head of the Li family was very satisfied, he seemed to be specially trying to test how much Li Pinghong was familiar with the law today, and when he heard the answer, he asked: "If so, what if it is harvested and cut?"

Li Pinghong's brows are becoming rivers at this moment, he has never traveled the world, and he has never been out of Jinling in his life. People often say that they have only heard of harvesting and cutting, but have never seen it. Because in Jinling City, most of the beggars are outsiders who have turned into fate, and ordinary beggars are very rare, not to mention the hard-working people who have been tossed into human bears, human dogs.

Thinking like this, but the answer is answered, he said: "The one who hurts people is beheaded, and the people who make a mistake have to be cut in half, not to mention this harvesting and cutting." The law is written, and whoever takes a living and cuts off a person shall be put to death, and the property shall be cut off to the house of the deceased. Although his wife, sons, and fellow family members did not know about it, they went 2,000 miles to settle and beheaded their servants. ”

The head of the Li family nodded, then laughed a few times, and continued: "Your Highness has found out that this Zhu Jiji and those rich children came to Jinling City to buy some boys to return to Ningchuan. These transactions, different from the deeds of sale for ten or twenty years, are all hard-working children who have been robbed and plundered. There were eleven wounded, six dead, and five who were harvested and cut. Pinghong, you have made a great contribution today. ”

Li Pinghong's eyes couldn't help but widen, he couldn't have imagined that in the end, His Royal Highness would give such an answer.

The two quickly walked to the house where the little beggar Li Qingshan lived, and the head of the Li family stopped, as if he didn't plan to go any further. He closed his eyes, took a few orderly deep breaths, and then said an inexplicable sentence: "Human life is like a mustard, human life is like a mustard." Pinghong, human life is like a mustard, but a little spark can start a prairie fire. For the father, the wine is not gone, so I will not go to see this child from you. What's this kid's name?"

Li Pinghong began to squeak, but even if he squeaked and deliberately slurred his words, the head of the Li family still heard the content clearly.

"Tsing shirt, green shirt, hahaha, green shirt, Li Qing shirt, good name, good name. ”

Seeing his father laughing happily, Li Pinghong also smiled, so it seems that his father really accepted the green shirt. He pulled his father again and asked him to go to see the child together, but the head of the Li family pushed back several times and prepared to leave early to rest.

The head of the Li family also said something inexplicable before leaving, and the head of the Li family said: "Pinghong, harvesting and cutting are miserable to both the good family and the boy." But in a family, in a city, in a country, there are people who harvest and carve people? Is this person right or wrong?"

"Nature is wrong. ”

Hearing his second son's answer, the head of the Li family frowned slightly, but he didn't say much, and finally left with laughter.

Li Pinghong accompanied Li Qingshan and talked for a while, and took pen and ink to teach him to learn to write his name one by one. This kid is not smart, nor stupid, in less than half an hour, Li Qingshan's three words can be neatly written on paper.

Then Li Pinghong went to see his third brother again, but this kid slept like a dead pig, without heart and lungs, so he had no choice but to leave.

A dreamless night until the sun rises and the rooster crows. Li Pinghong was about to continue to lie on the bed, but the door was pushed open by a maid, who panicked and didn't knock on the door, just pushed the door directly and entered.

Li Pinghong was awakened, and he couldn't help but feel anger on his face, but when the maid only said a word, Li Pinghong was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he was stunned on the spot.

The maid frowned, her expression was sad and sad, and her tone was also shocked, only to hear her say: "Second young master, second young master, master, master, he died violently!"
