Seeing the more than ten corpses lying in a pool of blood at the entrance of the yamen, Li Xiuyuan did not have a trace of joy.

Cutting off a dozen unconscious officials will not solve the fundamental problem, because what should have happened has already happened, and the tragedy they caused will not be improved by their deaths, all he can do is let these unconscious officials get the retribution and punishment they deserve.

It is said that there are three kinds of evil retribution in the world.

The Present Life, the Afterlife, and the Present.

Some of the evildoers will be lonely and miserable for the rest of their lives, and this is the retribution of this world.

There are also some evil people who will be reincarnated in the next life after death to repay their debts, which is the afterlife.

There is more retribution now, if you do evil things now, there will be retribution now.

"Don't collect their corpses, leave their corpses here for one day, and let their relatives gather tomorrow. Li Xiuyuan said.

"Li Gongzi, why is this? Duan Wenruo walked over and hesitated for a moment and said: "And they are all high-ranking officials in Jinling City, Li Gongzi's move is afraid that it will easily attract some hatred, which is not conducive to Li Gongzi, you are sitting in Jinling City." ”

Li Xiuyuan said: "My violent corpse is not just venting the anger in my heart, but the current situation needs to kill chickens and monkeys, sitting in Jinling City does not rely on benevolence and righteousness, but on majesty and force, this is the way of troubled times, not that I am cruel, but I have to do this under the way of this world, please understand, if you can't understand, it's okay." ”

Duan Wenruo sighed and didn't say anything more.

"If Mr. Duan has nothing to do, he can go to the prison and invite Fu Tianqiu out, now there are many things in the city, if he is willing to come out to take charge of government affairs, it is the best, if he is unwilling, forget it. ”

Li Xiu said from afar, although he didn't like Fu Tianqiu, he had to admit that his governing ability was indeed good.

"I'll tell Master Fu about this. Duan Wenruo said.

At this time, a team of men and horses took advantage of the night and hurriedly came, led by a military general covered in blood and hurriedly ran over.

When he saw the corpse of the civil and military official on the ground, he was shocked.

"You, you've taken all of these adults to death. It was none other than Zuo Qianhu, who looked at Li Xiuyuan in surprise at this moment, as if he couldn't believe what he was doing.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Does Zuo Qianhu think that these people shouldn't be killed?"

He knew Zuo Qianhu's character and was loyal, but he was as stupid and loyal to the court as Fu Tianqiu, and he was bent on repaying the country.

However, there is no force in the air, but there is no corresponding mind to see the way of the world.

So much so that he became a court eagle dog.

Zuo Qianhu's face changed at the moment, he didn't dare to say that these officials shouldn't be killed, because he knew that Admiral Yang personally took the civil and military officials out of the city to surrender, but if he wanted to kill them, he would be beheaded like this, which made him a little unacceptable.

"Since Zuo Qianhu doesn't speak, then agree with my approach, there are some things you don't understand, you don't need to think about it, I've heard about your brave killing of the enemy, are you interested in being a commander under me?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "Your thousands of households are fictitious, my capital is real power, and there are really a thousand people to listen to your dispatch." ”

Zuo Qianhu hugged his fists and said: "Whether or not to transfer to the army depends on the will of the imperial court, and I have no right to decide." ”

"I know in my heart that I am now a guerrilla general, and my position is above your thousand households, and now I am responsible for fighting thieves and defending the city in Jinling City, and you should also listen to my dispatch, now I order you to rectify the garrison and be responsible for the city defense, if there is a problem with the city defense, I will ask you. Li Xiu said from afar.

Zuo Qianhu did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Yes, general, take the order from your humble position." ”

Having received the order, he quickly left without the slightest hesitation.

Li Xiuyuan knew that he would faithfully perform his duties and would not spoil national affairs because of personal grievances.

Foolish people sometimes have a side to be admired.

"It's not early, let's go back and rest, there are still many things to be busy tomorrow. Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.

"How can the general do without a guard?" said a subordinate, surprised.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I have my own escort arrangements, don't worry, go ahead." ”

Several of them hesitated for a moment, but they also obeyed the order to leave with their fists clenched.

"Go home. ”

Li Xiuyuan rode the dragon horse towards his Li Mansion.

Not far from him, a yin wind whistled by, condensing and blending with the cold wind of the night.

"The four ghost kings with long beards, long tongues, sons and mothers, and red eyes, after the war is over, go and collect the lonely souls and wild ghosts outside the city at night, and don't let them harm one side. ”

Li Xiuyuan glanced at the direction of the howling wind and said calmly.

"Yes, Childe. Whispers of ghosts came from the air.

"But it's a little more difficult. Suddenly, the voice of the long-bearded ghost king came.

Li Xiuyuan asked, "What's the difficulty?"

"The battlefield outside the city is full of blood, and the evil spirit is so strong that it is difficult for ghosts and gods to get close, and even the ghosts and ghosts are mostly hidden in the corpses and dare not show it, and they need to wait for the evil spirit to dissipate and the smell of blood disappears before they can enter the battlefield. "The long-bearded ghost king.

"How long will it take?" Li Xiu said from afar.

"Ten days of breaking, half a month more. ”

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's too slow, is there a way to get rid of this evil qi?"

"Cleaning up the corpses and cleaning the battlefield can reduce this evil spirit, and it will be even more effective if you do another ritual. ”

"I see, I have made a note of it, and you are responsible for the situation in the city, and if anyone wants to start a rebellion, notify me immediately, and if necessary, you can forcibly seduce the soul. Li Xiu said from afar.

He didn't believe that there would be an iron bucket in Jinling City, and there was no undercurrent at all.

In the event of war, anything can happen.

"Yes. The imp is ordered. The four ghost kings responded in unison.

Suddenly.

The Son and Mother Ghost King spoke: "Wait, there is someone in the alley ahead who wants to ambush Childe." ”

"Oh, someone is trying to ambush me, how many people are there?" Li Xiuyuan asked with a moving expression.

"It was a woman with a sword, about fourteen or fifteen years old. "The son and mother are the kings.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Since you are a person, you don't have to care too much, I think it is a personal grudge, and I will meet her." ”

With his martial arts, unless the old demon of Montenegro ambushes him, he doesn't have to worry, not to mention that there are four ghosts and gods around him, once the supernatural power appears, even the martial arts master will have to retreat.

As he spoke, he passed by the alley.

Suddenly, a woman who looked to be a rich lady bit her lip, rushed out with a sword, and shouted, "Give back my father's life." ”

"Keng~!"

The next moment, the long sword trembled, flew out directly, and pierced the wall next to it.

The woman slumped to the ground with a cry of pain.

"Why do you come to do assassination if you are not even proficient in martial arts?" asked Li Xiuyuan, retracting the waist knife in his hand.

The long-tongued ghost king suddenly said: "Childe, this woman's name is Jiang Rong, she is the daughter of the deputy chief soldier who was beheaded by Childe before, and today she heard that her father was killed, so she came to seek revenge from Childe." ”

Li Xiuyuan immediately understood when he heard this.

He said: "You are the daughter of Deputy General Jiang? Yes, your father was killed by me, and his head is still at the yamen, I can understand the feeling that you want to avenge your father, but your father sacrificed the city to the enemy, don't talk about me for such a crime, in other words, the court will also order the killing, read that you are young and ignorant, you go, I don't care about today's affairs." ”

"Dog officer, you killed my father, and I have a grudge against you. ”

Jiang Rong burst into tears and stared at Li Xiuyuan with hatred: "Today, I can't assassinate you if I am not good at martial arts, and I will definitely cut off your head next time when I learn martial arts." ”

"Then you go to practice martial arts, when do you think martial arts can assassinate me, come back to me. Li Xiuyuan said: "But when the time comes, please think about it before you come." Think about whether there is still an elderly mother to serve in the family, and whether there are younger siblings to take care of. ”

With that, he continued to ride away.

Jiang Rong stood up and looked at the young general who was sitting on the dragon horse, wearing black armor and standing still, and said loudly, "You will regret it if you let me go." ”

"I want to rule this world, and I am not afraid of the hatred of carrying a human life. ”

Li Xiuyuan left these words and disappeared at the end of the street.

Jiang Rong left with hatred, she didn't understand Li Xiuyuan's words now.

"This woman hates Childe so much, shouldn't she let him go so easily, why don't you hook her soul with the little ghost?"

"No, leave her name in the book of life and death, she won't seek revenge on me, she will marry and have children, and live her life plainly. ”
