Verse 449: The fear of death

In the Dali Temple, Li Chengjie sits on the top of the middle hall.

Standing in the hall are a group of officials of Dali Temple.

Promised, Wang Lianmin stood at the forefront.

After the five heroes, and then there were countless servants, and everyone stood neatly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in accordance with Your Majesty's holy will, even if my Dali Temple is comprehensively reformed and upgraded. The official is appointed as the secretary of Dali Temple, and the official seal is a product. Along the way, Xu Sicheng was promoted to the rank of the second rank, and the king was promoted to the rank of the second rank. ”

"I catch the head of Dali Temple, which can be like a guard with a knife in front of the emperor, and the official residence is four products, and it is sealed according to merit. At present, all of you live in the four grades, and if you make meritorious service after that, you will be rewarded for meritorious service. ”

Li Chengjie sat high in the hall and said in a deep voice.

The so-called, a person who attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascended to heaven. Li Chengjie, as the secretary of Dali Temple, won the official title of Zhengyipin, and he was half a rank higher than the six Shangshu. At the time of the last dynasty, he could stand side by side with the crown prince. It can be seen that Li Chengjie's transcendent status.

"Xiaguan, thank you for your cultivation!"

Since then, I will uphold the original intention, live up to the morality in my heart, live up to the laws of the country, and do not fall into the prestige of Dali Temple. ”

The people who were canonized replied in a deep voice.

"Well, after that, Dali Temple will usher in a large-scale expansion, although the rest of you do not have a special official title, but it is also the success of my Dali Temple. You have been working hard all these days, and all of them are in the eyes of the officials. ”

Therefore, although you have not been promoted, you can receive the corresponding salary of the official of the fifth grade of the imperial court. And the officials of the sixth or seventh grade can see that they do not worship. Of course, they don't have to bow to you. ”

Li Chengjie glanced at everyone, and was quite satisfied with their efficiency. When Li Chengjie led the army to go on the expedition, he promised to take the people of Dali Temple and swept away the Zuimenglou, Mingyuexuan, and Xunxiangfang.

After coming back, Li Chengjie made an inspection and saw that the prison in Dali Temple was in good order, and the supervision of prisoners was also very orderly. Therefore, I also found a reward for these official servants.

"Thank you, Lord Lee!"

When they heard this, they were all overjoyed, for they thought that they would be hastily rewarded with some silver coins.

But what they didn't expect was that the reward of this kind of silver money was extremely special, and in the future, their money would be the same as that of the five-grade officials of the imperial court, you must know that for them, it was not only a lot of wealth, but also a sustainable wealth.

What's more, in the next sentence, with their identity, although they are official servants of the imperial court, they are always slaves, but now, they can see "six or seven officials without worshipping", which can be regarded as a glorious ancestor for them.

Of course, there is no need to salute when the six or seven rank sees them, which is normal. And they don't dare to have such a luxury.

"Well, in Dali Temple, there will be no talents. Besides, as long as you make meritorious service, you will be rewarded! Of course, if you make a mistake, you will be severely punished!"

Li Chengjie finally shook Tang Mu, and then said very majestically.

"Yes!"

At this time, everyone answered in a deep voice.

"Well, the first to disperse. Each of them returned to their posts and performed their duties. ”

"Xu Sicheng stayed. ”

Li Chengjie nodded, then looked at Xu Promise and said.

"Yes!"

When everyone heard this, they all answered and turned to leave.

Only one person was promised to bow and salute, and then did not get up.

After everyone left, Xu Yu slowly got up and looked at Li Chengjie.

"My lord, what do you command?"

Promise took two steps forward and asked softly.

"Xu Sicheng, I want to know, what I told you before, how did you do?"

Li Chengjie raised his eyes slightly, raised his eyebrows, and then asked softly.

"Are you talking about Tai Sui Dan?"

Hearing this, Xu Yu blinked, took a few steps closer and whispered.

"Knowingly ask!"

Li Chengjie's eyes widened, as if he didn't want to be inked here and play dumb riddles.

"Don't worry, my lord, with my father here, Tai Sui Dan will definitely be extinct in this world. ”

"Even if there are still people who have stored a little Tai Sui Pill before, it will definitely not be too much. Xu can assure adults that there is nothing in the world

People can mass-produce Tai Sui Dan!"

Xu Yu looked at Li Chengjie, and no longer inked, and said directly.

"Hehe, I don't know, where did you get the confidence!"

"Don't forget, Xu Xian is still here. ”

Li Chengjie supported the bookcase with both hands, then stretched his head forward, stared at the promise, and said in a low voice.

"Master Li, what do you mean by that?"

Xu Yu felt the pressure on his face, and the huge sense of oppression, his legs were a little weak, but he did not regress in the slightest, and he still resisted the pressure, and he also moved forward slightly and made up.

"Schedule a time, I want to see your father. The sooner the better!"

Li Chengjie looked at Xu Yue's eyes, did not notice the abnormality, and then slowly sat back in his place. Said in a deep voice.

My father is in Kyoto right now, and my father would like to meet with the adults. ”

Seeing that Li Chengjie had done it, he secretly exhaled deeply, and then adjusted it slightly, and said with a smile.

"Well, before, the official promised you and the Xu family about the matter, and the official would not break his word. ”

"But if you dare to play with your own officials and the court, you should know the consequences!"

Li Chengjie suddenly raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat gloomy tone.

"Don't worry, sir!"

Hearing this, Xu Yu just replied lightly, and then turned around and left.

Li Chengjie looked at the back of the promise to leave, Li Chengjie asked himself, until now he has not caught the handle of the promise. Is there really no problem with him, or is he pretending to be too good? It's seamless!

"But the more this is the case, the more Li Chengjie has a doubt in his heart!"

"Every time, I can't help but want to be tempted. ”

Because every time Li Chengjie saw the promise, he always felt that he was wearing a mask. A mask that he was extremely curious about, but that was impeccable. ”

Li Chengjie sighed.

"The situation in Jincheng is unclear now. The Chen family has hundreds of thousands of people, and they are actually hidden. ”

"If they don't come to Kyoto, where can their group go?"

Li Chengjie's eyes were full of doubts, and he looked forward deeply.

Li Chengjie knew that after he left last night, after the palace banquet dispersed, his eldest brother Liu Yuan took Yan Xuefei back to his house. With the eldest brother here, Li Chengjie is not worried about what will happen to Yan Xuefei. Therefore, he now has to go to the Criminal Department first.

Because the person who "pretended to be Jincheng Soldiers and Horses Si Zheng Luo Zhong" may be the key to solving the mystery of Jincheng!

......

In the prison of the Criminal Department, Chen Yun accompanied Li Chengjie to find "Luo Zhong" who fainted to death in the cell.

"Wake him up!"

After Chen Yun motioned to the cell boss to open the door of the cell, he commanded in a deep voice when he saw this.

"Yes, yes!"

When the cell boss heard this, he immediately answered, then immediately turned around and ran out.

"No need, just prepare a torture room!"

When Li Chengjie heard this, he waved his hand and stopped the cell leader. Splashing water with water or anything is a more merciful way to do it to mortals.

And a dishonest immortal cultivator like "Luo Zhong", Li Chengjie raised his legs, which was a flying kick. It kicked firmly on the man's lower abdomen.

"Boom!"

Luo Zhong was hit hard, and the whole person crashed into the cell.

Under the sound, the prisoners who were resting on both sides woke up. Then the wall shook violently, and it was like collapsing, and the cracks in the silk road exploded. It's terrifying.

Both prisoners and officials on both sides looked sideways at the cell where Luo Zhong was held, and secretly exclaimed in their hearts: "The ruthless corner that came again today, that person is going to be unlucky!"

Everyone looked at Luo Zhong and cast a look of pity.

"Don't pretend. If you don't get up again, this official will screw your head off and kick it as a ball!"

Li Chengjie saw him kick the man, he still closed his eyes, and wanted to play in front of him Li Chengjie, he was still tender. Based on his breathing, Li Chengjie can already conclude that he has woken up.

Therefore, he was a little impatient and said fiercely. It seemed that he was in a bad mood right now, and he was in a state of rage. Is

It's chilling.

But after Li Chengjie finished speaking, Luo Zhong still lay there motionless.

"Heh, it looks like you really want to die!"

Li Chengjie chuckled disdainfully, and then said coldly.

"Lord Chen, how should a criminal like him who refuses to cooperate be dealt with according to the law?"

Li Chengjie shook his head slightly, then turned to look at Chen Yun and said slowly.

"Master Li, according to the law, a person like him, who has a disobedience and a great sin, entered the prison and refused to cooperate, and even gave up his words to defend himself. If he has already pleaded guilty, he can be sentenced to death!"

When Chen Yun heard this, he blinked, and then understood what Li Chengjie meant, and said loudly.

"Okay, come on, drag it away, outside the noon gate, behead the public!"

Li Chengjie just waited for Chen Yun's words to fall, and immediately shouted loudly.

When the cell boss heard this, he was stunned. When he looked up at Chen Yun, he saw that Chen Yun was nodding slightly at him, and then the cell boss did not hesitate, and immediately summoned several people to rush into the cell, which was to set up Luo Zhong's whole person.

"You're not going to kill me!"

At this time, Luo Zhong spoke!

"Take it away!"

But this time, Li Chengjie didn't give that person another chance, he waved his hand directly, and then ordered in a deep voice.

"You won't!"

The man was held by several servants, turned his head to look back at Li Chengjie, and seemed to be very proud.

"I guarded your heart last night, because I still have something I want to ask you. ”

"But today, it's unfortunate, the official is in a very bad mood, and he doesn't have time to play with you!"

Li Chengjie didn't seem to bother to look at that person, and when he spoke, he seemed to be lamenting that person's stupidity.

"Well, just drag it out of the noon gate, and everything will be simple. Pick me a cleaver at random, no need to sharpen, blunt knife is better. The judge will personally execute the sentence today. ”

After Li Chengjie waited for the servants to take the person out, he said very casually to the cell leader.

"Yes, yes!

When the cell boss heard Li Chengjie's words, he glanced at Chen Yun again, and then saw that Chen Yun was still nodding, the cell boss immediately returned, and then bowed down and left to find a head chopper for Li Chengjie that met his requirements.

......

"That one, this official has always been merciful, and he will give you a word to say his last words!"

Li Chengjie held the chopping knife in his hand and threw it behind his left side, making a tiger. Although Li Chengjie was holding a rusty and tattered knife, at this moment, from a distance, Li Chengjie was still majestic.

"Heh, you're not going to kill me!"

The man was now tied to the guillotine, unable to move, and could only look at the earth with his eyes, grit his teeth, and utter such a sentence.

"Actually, you're not as important as you think. ”

"If that sentence is your last word, then you can die!"

As Li Chengjie spoke, he took three steps back, holding the knife in one hand, and getting ready.

When Li Chengjie's voice fell, Li Chengjie also did not hesitate at all. jumped up, in the air, Li Chengjie held the big knife, his eyes were ruthless, and there was no mercy in his hands.

"Die!"

Li Chengjie slashed it with a knife.

The man felt a biting cold wind blow behind his neck, followed by a bone-chilling coldness. It was as if his whole person had been thrown into the underworld alive.

There seemed to be countless ghosts already appearing in front of the man's eyes. It was devouring him with teeth and claws.

"Yun Luohan is not dead yet!"

Suddenly, the man shouted hysterically.

It turns out that it is simple to put life and death aside, but before death, that kind of fear is like falling into an abyss.

You don't know exactly when you're going to fall to your death, but you know you're going to die.

You don't know when you're going to fall to pieces, but you know you're going to be gone.

Falling into the abyss, it was pitch black all around, but he kept falling downward.

That's how "Luo Zhong" felt just now.

"Bang!"

However, Li Chengjie doesn't seem to have the intention of keeping his hand.

One slash!

......
