Chapter 38: Persuasion

"Water ......"

Yu Qibai carried Liang Xie on his back, only to feel that he was sweating through his heavy clothes, his body was shaking, and in less than half an hour, Liang Xie had already enjoyed three kinds of punishment, including 'sticking to the official', Xu Chunzhi said that he didn't use the 'tiger chair' and used it, Liang Xie's people were exhausted and trembling, Yu Qibai saw a small wine shop on the side of the road and hurried a few steps over, and one of Zheng Qianhu's entourage rushed up with an oblique stab, stretched out his arm to stop it, and said: "Qianhu is still waiting in the house, we can't afford to go back too late." ”

Shen Nanwu sneered: "Something that doesn't have long eyes, he didn't eat water and rice for two days, and he was tortured again, and you can afford to eat it if you die on the road?"

Another attendant said: "Shen Zhusi, this is a busy city, with a lot of pedestrians and many houses, if the assassin takes the opportunity to run away, who will it be?"

Shen Nanwu sneered: "Try to run for you like this." ”

The previous attendant said, "What if?"

Shen Nanwu said: "Your life is your life, our brother's life is not life? ”

The two attendants glanced at each other and quickly gave way. Shen Nanwu's martial arts are among the best among the arresting divisions, and his temper is even greater than his martial arts, and it is common to contradict his superiors, not to mention a few followers? It is precisely because of this that Shen Nanwu's boss doesn't like him, and Zheng Qianhu doesn't like him even more, so with the same credit, others have already been promoted to 100 households, or even 1,000 households, but Shen Nanwu is still a trapper, if he doesn't have some skills, I'm afraid he won't even be able to catch a priest properly.

Entering the wine shop, Yu Qibai found a seat and put Liang Xie down, and asked the guy in the wine shop for a bowl of water. Water splashed on his body, mixed with sweat, and the musty smell of the cell spread through the air, and some of the guests at the adjacent table moved the table, and some simply moved it to another table......

Yu Qibai asked the guy for another bowl of water and some simple meals, Liang Xie drank a few sips, his spirit gradually recovered, and his hands and feet were not as shaky as before, but after a little exertion, his body was sore everywhere. When the food came, Liang Xie was not polite, and devoured three or four bowls before his strength gradually recovered.

"Can I go?" asked Yu Qibai.

"Hmm. ”

"Good. "A few people paid for the meal, Yu Qibai helped Liang Xie out of the original way of the wine shop and returned to the 'Jingguo Mansion', Shen Nanwu walked in the head, Yu Qibai helped the limping Liang Xie to follow behind, and Zheng Qianhu's four entourages were in groups of twos and twos, blocking about three people, for fear that Liang Xie would escape. Back to the 'Jingguo Mansion', it was not early, Master Liu arranged for Liang Xie to bathe and change clothes, and arranged a residence, and persuaded Liang Xie with Shen Nanwu and Yu Qibai for more than an hour, Liang Xie suffered from Xu Chunzhi, and did not dare to die, but he still couldn't do it after all, the current ambiguity was perfunctory, Master Liu saw that his intentions were not sincere, and he didn't care, and asked the guards to pay attention to the guards and left, Shen Nanwu couldn't persuade him for a long time, and Zheng Qianhu's subordinates couldn't help but coerce and lure him. Liang Xie hadn't slept for two days, he was sleepy and tired, and his legs hurt even more, how could he have the spirit to listen to their persuasion? He was still thinking in his heart that he would escape in the middle of the night while the guards were napping and then take Jiaxian away and fly away, but his eyes did not listen to the call, and he gradually became confused under the fatigue, anxiety, worry, pain, and all kinds of unhappiness, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already noon on the second day, and Yunyun escaped in the middle of the night.

"Woke up?"

"Hmm. Liang Xie responded, struggling to sit up, moving slightly, but his legs seemed to be grabbed by tendons, and the pain was extremely severe, so he had to curl up his legs and slowly get up. He looked left and right, and saw a person sitting on the table on the ground, it was Yu Qibai.

"Don't worry, none of them came, only me. Yu Qibai said.

Liang Xie was slightly less vigilant.

"What are Liang Daxia's plans in the future?" asked Yu Qibai.

"What can you do, can you still rely on me now?" Liang Xie said.

Yu Qibai smiled and said, "So Liang Daxia is willing to take refuge in the governor?"

Liang Xie sneered: "Let me take refuge in a eunuch for a few taels of silver? ”

Yu Qibai said with a smile: "Liang Daxia is serious, didn't the respected teacher also take refuge in the governor?"

Liang Xie was silent in his heart, and he never said a word since the master and apprentice said goodbye.

Yu Qibai smiled slightly: "You Jianghu people don't take silver seriously, do you know that the reason why this court can stand, why the people can survive, and why the gangs in the rivers and lakes can flourish is inseparable from this silver, whether it is the court, the people or the gangs in the rivers and lakes, once there is no silver, it will not be far from extinction." Don't say that it is a second- or third-rate character like you and me, even the 'Half-Step Hall' also makes a living by taking care of people's homes and teaching apprentices to pass on arts, and the reason why the dragon god can have today is just that the business of the money village is doing well and the food is selling well. Not to mention, in the past two years, Liang Daxia has done a lot of bad things for the sake of silver, you are afraid of smearing the 'crazy knife', can it be that the 'crazy knife' has taught you to kill innocents indiscriminately?

Liang Xie said: "Yu Yu quickly, you persuaded me to surrender just to find out the mastermind behind me, so you can be rewarded for your merits." I already said this yesterday, no one is in charge, that day I happened to meet a few eagles in the 'Qinlong Building', I can't get used to Wu Jingguo's actions, and I was angry for a while before I moved, this matter is known to your Shen Capture Division, you can go and ask him. ”

Yu Qibai said with a smile: "Brother Nanwu naturally won't hide it, but doesn't Liang Daxia think that the matter is too coincidental? Although the eagle, the blue wolf, and the emperor were let go by the governor, they are not afraid of being arrested again, but they are humiliated by the palace punishment, they either hide and dare not see people, or they must plot revenge, how can they be bumped into by you? Unless....... Unless you are a fellow party and are plotting to assassinate you, that makes sense. If this is the case, the 'Wolf Gate' and 'Banbutang' are completely damaged, and the blue wolf naturally knows that with the strength of the governor, Liang Daxia will never be able to move, so there must be someone else behind Liang Daxia, who is he?"

Liang Xie said: "No one instructed me. You're overthinking. ”

Yu Qibai smiled and said: "Liang Daxia is not naturalized in the capital, several road references are fake, and even the name is fake, you are reckless, if it is not for someone behind you, how can you expect to get so much?"

The sweat on Liang Xie's forehead trickled down, and said: "Yu Xia Zhu, you rescued me from Xu Chunzhi's hands yesterday, I accept your affection, and please give me a good time for the sake of fellow martial artists." ”

Yu Qibai said: "I believe that Liang Daxia is not afraid of death, and he is not even afraid of torture, but it is easy for you to die, what should Mrs. Zun do?"

Liang Xie clenched his fists tightly, this Yu Qibai was so annoying, and the words he said pierced his heart and lungs one by one, he was stunned for a long time, sighed, and said: "This is also fate, manpower is irretrievable, and it can't be ...... Alas......"

Yu Qibai said with a smile: "You can't betray your friends? You are the 'Inner Governor's Mansion' and the 'Golden Guard' who eat white rice, and if you don't say it, you really can't find out their heads? Master Li can check my bottom in detail in one day, but he can't find out your bottom line? If you say it sooner or later, it's just a short time, and you can't protect them, not to mention that they are really worth your own and your wife's lives?"

Liang Xie said, "What do you mean?"

"If a person has been calculating you, using you to help him kill people, and pretending to help Mrs. Zun see a doctor, but he has not eradicated the disease, so as to achieve the goal of controlling you for a long time, I wonder if such a person is still a friend in the eyes of Liang Daxia?" Yu Qibai said with a smile, he laughed a little gloating, and laughed so much that Liang Xie straightened his hair.

"How do you know...... How do you know she's sick?" Liang Xie asked for half a sentence and then stopped.

Yu Qibai smiled and said: "In fact, Yu Mou found out the day before yesterday, the reason is very simple, Liang Daxia has a wife and no children, and the living room is simple but there are maids to serve, if it is not enough to support it, Mrs. Zun is seriously ill and needs to be taken care of, and although Mrs. Zun's complexion is not too bad, but her face is inevitably too white, which shows that Mrs. Zun rarely sees the sun on weekdays, at least in the past two months, when this is the height of summer, the house is very stuffy, but there is shade outside the house for cooling, and the body is better, who wants to stay at home without leaving home? A lot of people have died in the capital these days, and the death method of 19 of them is quite similar to the secret weapon technique you used when you started with Brother Nanwu that day, these 19 people have different identities, they don't know each other, and it is impossible for them to become mortal enemies with one person or a faction, but they died under the same method, and the biggest possibility is that they were killed by the killer. Boldly assume that the person was killed by Liang Daxia, and the reason is that you need enough silver to treat Mrs. Zun. Of course, these are just speculations, if you don't dump the dregs in the back of the house, Yu can't make this assertion......"

Liang Xie said: "You know a lot. ”

Yu Qibai said with a smile: "Yu is a fast catcher, and he naturally sees more things than others." I just told you to open it, today Master Li allowed me to see you alone is to make it easier to make it clear, the sooner you defect, the people behind you will notice it one day later, and the 'Inner Governor's Mansion' will take the initiative. You Jianghu people talk about righteousness, this is understandable, but Mrs. Zun is infected with a vicious disease, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and it does not heal for a long time, haven't you ever had the slightest suspicion?"

Liang Xie was shocked in his heart, thinking back to the changes in Jiaxian's condition before and after coming to Beijing, he couldn't think of a clue for a while, he heard Yu Qibai's question, and replied casually: "It's normal for the condition to be repeated, and it was the same before, what is there to doubt?"

Yu Qibai shook his head and said: "It's normal for the condition to recur, but it's hard to say whether it's man-made or the number of days." He paused and said: "Serious illness in the world, whether it is cured or not, it is nothing more than four results, improvement, deterioration, not good or bad or sometimes good and sometimes bad, Liang Daxia, with your personality, if Mrs. Zun's condition improves, are you still willing to do this killer job of collecting money to buy your life?"

Liang Xie shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in power, and I don't want to work for silver, let alone sacrifice, and I can't do great things." ”

Yu Qibai smiled slightly and said: "Liang Daxia has no ambitions, and he is honest and honest, with such a character, if Mrs. Zun's condition deteriorates, or there is no improvement, Liang Daxia will definitely visit famous doctors everywhere?"

Liang Xie said: "This is natural, could it be that Yu Xia will let his wife die of illness?"

Yu Qibai waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how I do it, your choice is the point, although I don't know who the person behind you is, but if I am him, I will definitely try to make Mrs. Zun's condition good and bad, and the cycle will go on and on, only in this way can you do your best for me." ”

Liang Xie tightened his eyebrows and said, "Your words are unsubstantiated and unfounded, and it is difficult to be convincing. ”

Yu Qibai said: "Yu has been catching for some years, and I have seen a lot of scheming, although everyone's means are different, but few people can hide from me over the years......" He looked directly at Liang Xie and continued: "This is not because I am smart, but I only look at the results and interests, the results have been born, and the interests are consistent, even if the means are ridiculous, it is reasonable." What Liang Daxia did was beneficial to the National People's Congress, and it was strange that the person was willing to let you go. ”

"No matter how beautiful it is, it can't be confirmed, and it's a lie. Liang Xie frowned again, what Yu Qibai said he didn't think about, but Yun Lao and the little prince have always treated everyone well, and they treated him even more kindly, if it weren't for Yun Lao Jiaxian, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago, he really didn't dare to be so ungrateful.

Yu Qibai smiled and said: "There is a way to confirm everything in the world, it just depends on whether you are willing or not." ”

"What's the solution?"

"Good people always don't want to think of others as evil, even if there are 10,000 doubts, they would rather believe that they have nothing than believe that they have, but it's a pity that such people can only become pawns of others.

Liang Daxia has a lot of blood debts on his hands, but he is still kind, rare, rare, ......rare" He paused when he said the word kindness, looked at Liang Xie with straight eyes and said, "Are you really unable to think of a way or don't dare to think about it at all?"

Liang Xie frowned and said, "You mean ......" Liang Xie fell into deep thought. "Find another Lang Zhong to see the symptoms or take a look...... Dregs of the medicine?"

Yu Qibai smiled: "You're not too stupid, but you're not looking for Langzhong." ”

Liang Xie was in awe: "Yes, if you look for Lang Zhong next to you who knows if he has been bought, even if he is not bought, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not temporarily change his words after seeing the medicine residue, and talk nonsense to show that he is skilled in medicine." This Yu Qibai is sleek and sophisticated, really annoying, but in fact it is delicate, and it is a fierce enemy. He saw that he was very wary, and knew that he had a preconceived idea that he must be slandering if he said the way directly, or that he had done something in the dregs, so he made himself believe in his reasoning step by step, and finally led himself to say the way. It is more convincing to do it yourself and draw your own conclusions. ”

Yu Qibai saw that he was silent in thought, and said, "What's the matter?"

Liang Xie said: "Okay, if it is really as you said, I will take refuge in Wu Jingguo, but I don't know how to ..... medicine."

Yu Qibai smiled: "You don't need to understand, you will know after you read it." ”

Liang Xie said: "When are you going?"

Yu Qibai said: "I will pick you up with Lord Shen before noon tomorrow." ”

Liang Xie said: "Okay." ”

Yu Qibai said: "I hope Liang Daxia can keep his promise and see you tomorrow." He got up and left.

"Tomorrow may be my last chance for Jiaxian and me. Liang Xie was thinking in his heart, imagining all kinds of possibilities that might happen tomorrow, how to escape, when to make a move, how to avoid points, and so on. While he was planning, he secretly regulated his breath and tried to meet this opportunity in the best possible condition.

Things seem to be coincidental and smooth.

In the hall, Yu Qibai and Shen Nanwu told Wu Jingguo in detail about the persuasion to surrender, Wu Jingguo did not show joy and sorrow, and all the requests of Yu and Shen were not allowed, and after the two of them finished their confessions, Wu Jingguo nodded slightly, and Yu Shen and Shen comprehended, and each bowed and stood aside.

"Mr. Li ......" Wujing National Road.

"Governor!" Master Li stepped forward.

"In your opinion, who sent that assassin?"

Master Li said: "I dare not speculate on this matter, and the words of the assassin cannot be trusted, I have sent Zheng Qianhu to check the gangs and car dealers, etc., if they have not been officially naturalized, they will be arrested pending trial, and the naturalized martial arts gangs will all check the accounts of the past year, the trading situation, and the new members, etc., those gangs and merchants who have had dealings with the Guyu Party and the 'Banbutang' will be sent to strictly monitor them.....

"Very well, have you found out the origin of the assassin's mother-in-law?"

"I found out clearly, it is the daughter of Ren Kangnian, the former prefect of 'Tangzhou' and 'Dongyaocheng', and now Ren Kangnian is only the prefect of a remote county under the jurisdiction of 'Dongyaocheng'. Master Li said.

Wu Jingguo smiled slightly, several masters around him did things cleanly and neatly, and they really made a lot of contributions to him, this Master Li is the head of all masters, and his scheming and strategy are all superior, and many things have already been done before he asks Master Li.

"My house in the west of the city is also deserted, and in a few days, I will ask Master Qian to find the title deed and give it to you. "Wujing National Road.

Master Li bowed down and said, "Thank you for the reward." ”

Although the mansion in the west of the city is the smallest mansion in Wu Jingguo, it is also worth a lot of money, which Master Li knows very well, of course, he knows better what it means to 'after a few days' and 'find a land deed'.

After asking, Wu Jingguo slowly got up and walked out of the hall, the two personal guards beside him hurriedly followed, Yu Qibai, Shen Nanwu and others all stood aside with their heads down.

Wu Jingguo just came out of the hall, suddenly a black shadow jumped down from the roof, people in the air, with a wave of his hand, a cluster of steel needles hit Wu Jingguo's heart, without warning, suddenly attacked, the steel needles are small, and it is even more difficult to detect in the dark night.

"Hmph!" A muffled snort, a guard on Wu Jingguo's side suddenly turned around, his right fist swung out, the fist wind was agitated, and the steel needle was scattered, he stepped forward to protect Wu Jingguo with his body as a shield, and his left fist pierced out from between his ribs and hit out like an arrow. The black shadow turned sideways to give this punch, and with a wave of the sleeve of his robe, a clump of steel needles was punched, and the guards swept the steel needles in their nostrils, and leaned towards the assassin violently on one side of their body.

The Assassin leaped away, and another guard let out a 'grunt', and the man burst out like a bowstring, leaping in front of the Assassin, and a punch burst out of the Assassin's chest. The assassin did not make a hard connection, his body leaned back, and the steel needles rose all over the sky, he took his heel as the axis, suddenly turned, and with a wave of his hand, three steel needles floated up a circular arc to hit Wu Jingguo's front heart, and the previous guard dodged in front of Wu Jingguo, and the stake burst out like a bow and a punch, and the steel needles flew again.

'Ding Ding ......' made countless sounds, and the steel needle fell to the ground.

The courtyard was crowded, the guards arrived, Yu Qibai and Shen Nanwu both jumped out of the hall, and the two masters, Li and Liu, also followed, and everyone surrounded the black-clothed and masked assassins.

"Who are you, and why did you assassinate the governor?"

The assassin didn't answer, his hand was raised, and another steel needle was punched out, drawing an arc and drifting towards Wu Jingguo, and the two guards dodged in front of and behind Wu Jingguo, and the breath around his body burst out, people were like artillery, his fist was like thunder, and the fist wind rolled up and knocked down the steel needle.

"The steel needle that changes direction, are you Lao Jiu Tang Xian?"

"Hmph, what if you recognize it?" Tang Xian simply took off the black cloth that covered his face. "When did my Ouchi 'Dragon Guard' become Wu Jingguo's lackey?"

"The surname is Tang, don't think that you are ranked above us, it is because my brothers are too lazy to compete with you for that false name, if you really want to do it, you will definitely lose. One of the guards said.

"Really?" Tang Xian spread his hands out in front of his chest, and a thousand steel needles hung in the air. "No matter how many people there are, it's in vain, Wu Jingguo is dead today. ”

"Really?" an old voice suddenly sounded, and the patriarch suddenly appeared in the small courtyard.

"Si Kou Yuanyan?" Tang Xian was startled, the suspended steel needles were unexpectedly messed up, and several fell to the ground.

"Exactly. The patriarch said.

"Okay!" Tang Xian said a good word, thousands of steel needles rolled into a ball, like a hedgehog attacking Wu Jingguo, the radius was filled with steel needles, seeing that the guards could not block so many steel needles no matter how they stopped, Wu Jingguo would definitely die, and suddenly his eyes were empty, Wu Jingguo was already on the opposite roof, and it was the patriarch who was standing beside him, the veteran general Wu

Jingguo slowly put it down. No body was moved, and the person was already in the courtyard.

Tang Xian's face changed greatly, and he didn't dare to float up to the room with his feet in love.

"Want to go?" The patriarch sneered, and was already standing in front of Tang Xian, the two guards were one east and one west, Shen Nanwu and Yu Qibai also went to the roof on the left and right, surrounding Tang Xian, and the other guards jumped on the opposite roof to protect Wu Jingguo.

Tang Xian suddenly smiled, the patriarch's face changed, and he saw a steel needle in Tang Xian's palm shooting towards Wu Jingguo behind him without warning. Yu Qibai and Shen Nanwu struck Tang Xian with their palms and legs, and Tang Xian's body jumped back into the courtyard and rushed out of the small courtyard.

Outside the small courtyard, Tang Xian wanted to go from the east, Sun Ming slashed with a knife, Tang Xian avoided it, wanted to go from the west, but he was on crutches, Tang Xian avoided the crutches, but he was slapped by Granny Rui, and in the chaos, he shot out a hundred steel needles to block the enemy, and the figure flashed, and he had already drilled into another small courtyard and went to the upper room.

"Wu Jingguo, you wait, Brother Jing's hatred surnamed Tang will have to be returned sooner or later. After that, he shot down several of the guards who came after him with steel needles, and when he left the Jingguo Mansion, Granny Rui and Sun Ming followed closely, and Tang Xian hit two steel needles again, and the figures rushed and hurried. The shouts of killing in the streets became farther and farther away, and finally, they were no longer heard.
