Chapter 14: Beheading

In the Xiaoshi Temple in the evening, Zeng Yiqi came back to report, and Liu Yue and Zhao Dazui looked in a bad mood.

"Senior Brother Zeng, have you been there for the past two days, why haven't you come back last night? ”

"I went to Python Mountain with Guzi yesterday to find snakes!" Liu Yue seemed to be thinking about other things, Zeng Yiqi hurriedly explained to him: "Uncle Shi, I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to come back yesterday, the journey into the mountain was very far, and I met an old friend, so I came back now." Please punish Uncle Shi. ”

"When you go out, you don't need to be too particular," Liu Yue said easily.

"Who have you met? is it Miss Yue'er?" Zhao Dazui asked again.

"No, it's a friend I met when I was in Tanzhou before, his brothers are dead, and now he has taken refuge with an acquaintance here. I stayed with him for one night last night," Zeng Yiqi saw that Liu Yue didn't ask, so he asked Zhao Dazui in a low voice, "Is something going on here?" Uncle Shi seems to be unhappy. ”

"Something is wrong," Zhao Dazui said exaggeratedly.

"What's wrong?Mountain~ collapsed?"

"What do you think, it's a joke at this time. Let me tell you, didn't we assist General Li's men in arresting more than 20 bandits from Suspicious Source Mountain the day before yesterday?"

"Yes. ”

"Yesterday, these people passed through the yamen. ”

"Did you ask what's wrong?

"Asking a fart is just going through the motions. ”

"And then?"

"Then, early this morning, all the arrested bandits were beheaded on the main street of Panshi Town. ”

"What? If they were caught, they would be beheaded? They didn't beg for mercy? No one else begged for mercy for them. ”

"It's a big deal, and more than two dozen heads are still hanging on the flagpole in the middle of the town. The people around him were really crying and shouting, and they almost robbed the Dharma field. ”

"I'm afraid that these bandits are residents of Panshi Town, so the local residents will be like this," Zeng Yiqi actually thought of it, but just cut off all the heads, which is a bit unacceptable, "General Li Tang was not present?"

"It was General Li who beheaded him. ”

"This~" Zeng Yiqi didn't know what to say, "This shouldn't be, can't they be arrested and sent to the army, or sentenced to a few years in prison." Take 10,000 steps back, if you want to cut it, you have to ask after the autumn, and you can only cut it when Hengzhou City approves the words!"

"I don't understand anything, what are you yelling about?" Liu Yue scolded Zeng Yiqi loudly.

"I don't think it should be like this. Do they have to die?"

"Is it up to you to decide whether you should die or not?"

"That's not him, Li Tang has the final say!"

"Shut up. Soon after General Li Tang came here, he wiped out all the suspected robbers of Yuanshan Mountain, who were the Fu generals of Hengzhou. General Li eliminated harm for the people, and the benefits were for the future. He thinks that these bandits should be killed, and he has a reason for this, and allows you to talk nonsense here. ”

"I just feel ......"

"I can't stop talking, Zhao opened his mouth, and pulled him in to face Buddha and think about it. ”

Zeng Yiqi couldn't figure it out, these bandits were beheaded like this, and some of them were too unworthy. He hated this General Li Tang even more for his careless disregard for human life. However, Zeng Yiqi understands that Uncle Liu Yue is in trouble, and if he is so open-mouthed, it is naturally easy to cause trouble. Uncle Liu Yue was right to reprimand him.

"What's wrong with you today, I haven't seen you argue with anyone in normal times," Zhao Dazui said afterwards.

"I don't know,"

"Uncle Shi is also very sad, don't blame Uncle Shi. At the scene of the beheading, Uncle Shi also pleaded with General Li, but unfortunately it was useless. ”

"Well, I won't blame Uncle Shi. It's just that I came up with such an idea. ”

"Go, it doesn't have to do with your idea! Let me tell you, tomorrow morning we will go to the Yamen. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You don't remember, this time it was General Li Tang who helped us to fight the bandits in Suspicious Source Mountain, and this time we want to help General Li Tang eliminate the bandits in Ranshigang. ”

"No, General Li has spoken, everyone has to go. ”

"Do you know who the bandits in the rocky hill are, and does Uncle Xiaoshi have any news?"

"No, I think it's similar to the bandits in Suspicious Source Mountain!"

"When did General Li come to you?"

"Just today shortly before you come back. Don't you see where Uncle Shi is, his face is solemn? That's what happened. Li Tang is cruel, and if he goes, he will become his accomplice. If you don't go, it is equivalent to not giving face to the king of Hengzhou, and Zhu Rongshan will not be easy to mix in the future. Uncle Shi was also very embarrassed. ”

"Let's not talk about that. I don't think it's easy for the bandits in this rocky hill to be in trouble. If it was the same as the group of people in Suspicious Source Mountain, Li Tang would definitely send someone to pick it up today, and if one person got the merit, there would be all of us there. It must be that these people are not simple, he can't eat alone, and he needs a master like Uncle Liu Yue to suppress the formation. ”

"According to what you say, I'm afraid that the rocky hill will be more dangerous than the last time!"

As soon as he said that it was dangerous, Zeng Yiqi thought of the almost fatal knife in the broken temple. The small town of Panshi is now a Crouching Tiger, unfathomable.

The next day, Liu Yue took Zeng Zhao and the others to the Yamen of Panshi Town.

"Zeng Yiqi, did you figure it out last night?" Liu Yue asked Zeng Yiqi.

"Thank you Uncle for reminding me last night. ”

"Well," the kid reacted quite quickly, and Liu Yue asked again, "Have you been to Python Mountain two days ago?"

"Yes. ”

"I heard that there is a 'snake king' in Python Mountain, is it true?"

"The rumors are credible," Zeng Yiqi told Liu Yue again about the legend of the snake king that Peng San said, which shocked Liu Yue and Zhao Dazui.

"According to you, the snake needs to be eliminated as soon as possible!"

"What Uncle Shi said is extremely true, and the disciple also thinks that this beast will eventually become a local evil. I don't know what Uncle Shi can do?"

"If you want to get rid of it, it's not enough to hear what you say. After the incident, let's take the time to understand the situation of the 'Snake King' before making a decision!" Liu Yue asked Zeng Yiqi again, "What do you think about the bandits in Ranshigang?"

Zeng Yiqi said what he told Zhao Dazui last night.

"Well, Uncle Shi also feels the same way. ”

Lu met Wei Zuo, and Liu Yue asked him again, "Senior nephew Wei, is your uncle Dou Kaike still in Panshi Town?"

"Senior Uncle Liuyue, my Senior Uncle Dou has left Panshi Town a few days ago and returned to Jixian Mountain. ”

"Yesterday's execution in Panshi Town, and I didn't see my nephew appear?"

"Back to Uncle Liu, yesterday I was afraid that there would be more bandits in Suspicious Source Mountain, so I went to Suspicious Source Mountain again. When I returned, I heard about the execution in Panshi Town. ”

"What does Master Wei's nephew think about the execution?"

"The disciple thinks that yesterday's incident has passed, and I am not at the scene, so I can't comment on it. However, this incident can be used as a reference for future actions. ”

"Master Wei's nephew is worthy of being the elite of Jixian Mountain, insightful. ”

Uncle Shi praised it. ”

Zeng Yiqi also felt that Wei Zuo was powerful, and he said it clearly. I don't comment in order not to be tongue-in-cheek. For future reference, he told everyone that he Weizuo has an opinion. As for how to see it, I'll talk about it later. What's more important is Wei Zuo's expression, like Gujing Bubo, this reason is definitely inconsistent with his young appearance.

The Yamen of Panshi Town is already in sight.
