Volume 4 Chapter 30 Old and Adulterous
Suddenly, there was a shouting outside. Li Xiantong could hear clearly, it was the sound of soldiers in armor marching. Before leaving, he left a note and asked the shopkeeper to hand it over to Li Baobao, who had not yet returned, and Li Baobao ran to the general's mansion to ask for support according to Li Xiantong's instructions. It happened that Liao Qian was in the mansion, so he led the guards to rush over.
As soon as the soldiers from the General's Mansion arrived, everyone did not dare to say a word. There were 300 people in Liaoqian's personal guards, and the road to the backyard was already full of soldiers from the General's Mansion.
As soon as Liao Qian came in, Hong Erlang hurriedly got out of the way.
Liao Qian looked at Li Xiantong, and Li Xiantong saluted Liao Qian: "Li Xiantong of Taishan Mansion, I have seen General Liao." ”
"Master Hou doesn't have to be rigid about the subtleties. After Liao said expressionlessly, he asked, "What about that batch of goods?"
"Here it is. Li Baohu thought that the savior was coming, and he was even more excited. In the crowd, Li Baobao walked towards Li Xiantong with the soldiers who went to check, wanting his father to praise him, but Li Xiantong still looked at Liao Qian with a serious expression.
After the sergeants checked it, they came to report the situation to Liao Qian. Liao Qian frowned and asked back, "Master Hong, what's going on?"
"I don't know. Hong Erlang's face changed, and his face was full of grievances: "This Hou Ye came over early in the morning with his subordinates carrying these batches of goods, but I didn't expect you to arrive at the back foot general." ”
"You!" Li Xiantong looked at Hong Erlang's face and trembled with anger.
"Master Hou. Liao Qian asked slowly, "Is it true?"
"Nothing else. Li Xiantong said: "We found out that this batch of goods was in the backyard of the Gaoshan Dart Bureau before we came in to check it." ”
"When you come, do you have any witness?" Liao Qian's words asked, Li Xiantong just wanted to answer, but suddenly got stuck. This Tibetan state is a frontier, and most of the people here go out after noon, but there is no such thing as a morning market. Just this way, all the shops along the street, but none of them are open, how can there be any certification?
After being speechless for a while, Li Xiantong said lightly: "There is no one on the street, and there is no witness." ”
"Come on, carry this batch of goods away!" After Liao Qian heard Li Xiantong's words, he called someone to come in and carry out these boxes of bows and arrows. After there were all of them left in the courtyard, Liao Qian said: "Since there is no witness, then please ask Master Hou to go with General Ben." ”
"This ......," the people on Li Xiantong's side began to mumble.
"Someone. Liao Qian called two sergeants out and wanted to pull Li Xiantong. Seeing that Li Xiantong did not react, Li Baohu and Li Baobao stepped forward to push the two sergeants away.
Liao Qian shouted: "Come on, arrest this group!" Outside the door, the soldiers instantly swarmed in, and there were more than 100 people, surrounding Li Xiantong and his group.
Li Baohu stepped forward and asked, "General Liao, why is this?"
"Just because you don't have certification, just because you trespass on private houses!" Liao Qian was worthy of his military background, and his speech was sonorous and powerful.
Li Baobao shouted next to Li Xiantong: "Dad, you can say something!"
Li Xiantong closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly, without saying a word. He guessed right!
Li Baohu was not convinced, shouted, and rushed forward with a punch. Liao Qian lay down with a sword scabbard and took a punch from Li Baohu. Liao Qian's fist strength was not Li Baohu's opponent, he took four or five steps back to gain a firm foothold, Li Baohu still had to go up, Li Xiantong scolded: "Enough!"
"Dad!" Li Xiantong didn't expect this to be the result today.
Liao Qian also drew his sword, and only thought that Li Baohu said: "Attacking the general of the state capital is a serious crime!"
"Come back!" Li Xiantong scolded again. Li Baohu looked at Liao Qian unwillingly, and Li Xiantong said again: "Come back!" Li Baohu retreated unwillingly.
Liao Qianjian pointed at Li Baohu and said, "You kid is still young, let me get to know you." In Tibet, I am the biggest, and I have the final say! All the 20 or so generals in the world have the same status in the imperial court. In addition to the generals, it is the general who has the most real power. If you dare to offend again, the crime of killing the head can be arranged!"
This Liao Qian also spoke with a ruthless spirit.
Li Xiantong grabbed Li Baohu behind him, stepped forward and said: "General Liao enforces the law impartially, Li admires." But everything paper can't contain the fire, and I hope that General Liao will return Li's innocence as soon as possible. ”
"Master Hou forgive the sins!" Liao Qian symbolically saluted and made a gesture, and those soldiers stepped forward one after another to tie ropes and anklets to Li Xiantong and his party.
Liao Qian said again: "Master Hou, Master Ma, in view of your identity, your hands and feet will not be tied, and I hope you know how important you are, don't do stupid things." Liao Qian knew that the two of them didn't dare to run, and when they ran, they ran away in fear of sin.
After the soldiers escorted Li Xiantong and his party out, Liao Qian walked up to Hong Erlang with an unhappy face, so angry that he couldn't speak, and his fingers were already on Hong Erlang's face. Hong Erlang shook Liao Qian's hand away and asked, "General Liao, I am also suspicious just now, and I should be arrested together, how can I ......?"
Hong Erlang asked knowingly, and Liao Qian said coldly: "Come to my general's mansion in the evening." ”
Before going out, Liao Qian turned around again and said, "Hong Erlang, this is the last time, don't give me any more moths!"
Not long after Liao Qian left, in the backyard, Hong Erlang's eldest son Hong Jin walked in.
Hong Erlang asked, "Didn't miss one?"
"Nope. Hong Jin said: "I help in the back kitchen of the inn, and the four leaders are there." There is no doubt that the number is eighty. ”
It turned out that as early as Li Xiantong and his party entered the city, Hong Erlang ordered his eldest son Hong Jin to hide in the inn to observe the group's every move. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles is the truth that Hong Erlang has always believed.
"That's good. Hong Erlang said proudly: "I thought Li Xiantong was so smart, but I didn't expect that he was defenseless." It is estimated that he is also used to being domineering and respected, but now that he has come to this place far away from the emperor of the mountain, it will be difficult to go back again. “
Hong Jin said worriedly: "Dad, you didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and there will be endless troubles." “
Hong Jin looks like a tiger, and his face is twice as big as ordinary people. When he speaks, he is also rough and rude, and judging from his face, he is an irritable and difficult master.
Hong Erlang looked at his eldest son with a sneer, this eldest son is like him, but he is much more ruthless than himself: "It is not an easy task to kill the marquis of the imperial court, and it is basically impossible to sentence Li Xiantong to death." But it was enough to keep him in prison for a few years. As for cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, how can it be so easy for us to do this kind of status? It's just to relieve the hatred in our hearts, so as not to regret Jiuquan. ”。
Hong Jin said: "It's still Daddy who can see it." ”
Hong Erlang patted Hong Jin on the shoulder and said, "As soon as this matter passes, my father will retire." When the time comes, you must be less reckless and more thoughtful. The knowledge of this business is great. ”
