Chapter 26: The Lone Beggar
Mo Yuanqing said: "I passed through Qingfeng Gang that day, and I just came back from the capital Kaifeng to receive the order, but I unexpectedly fell into your hands, but fortunately, little brother, you are unwilling to act for the tiger, and you are unwilling to join them, so that the Bendu Prison can leave a life to complete this important task of exterminating Bai Yasai!" Li Yihang's heart was gloomy: "Leaving you alone, but killing the lives of more than 100 brothers in the village, if time can be turned back, I will really cut down this knife!"
Mo Yuanqing said: "Do you know what the holy decree is?" Li Yihang shook his head, Mo Yuanqing said: "The holy decree said, the evil bandits and murderers of Baiya Village, Baiya Mountain, Susong County, have been plagued by the people of Anhui, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces for many years, and have committed a lot of evil consequences, and the local people are all deeply poisoned.

Li Yihang felt a little strange and asked, "Verify the identity?" Mo Yuanqing said: "Yes, after confirming the identity of the bandit, he can be executed, which is the right given to me by the emperor today." Li Yihang was stunned for a moment and said, "Then you caught me, why didn't you put me to death?"
Mo Yuanqing laughed and said: "Is my Mo a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong? You are different from them, anyone can see at a glance that you are imprisoned by them because you don't want to kill innocents indiscriminately." When the order to attack was issued last night, I gave instructions to the soldiers, after capturing the cottage, check the prison cells on the mountain, and rescue the people inside, not to hurt a little, haha, Mo Mou guessed well, you were really locked up by them, that is also your life, if you are not imprisoned, most of them will be on the spot. He pointed to the pile of dead men.
Li Yihang has countless doubts in his heart, but he is like a mess, he can't figure it out, and he doesn't know where to start. Mo Yuanqing said: "The person who was imprisoned in the water prison with you, but his name is Li Nan?" Li Yihang shook his head and said, "No!" Mo Yuanqing smiled and said: "Good boy, love and righteousness, I Mo Mou respects and admires this kind of person the most, if you don't see the blame, how about we make friends? Go, go, let's go have a glass of wine together." ”
Li Yihang shook his head and suddenly asked, "How do you know that he is Li Nan?" Mo Yuanqing smiled and said: "I naturally know that we have already felt the details of this Baiya Village, and we all know what the name of the person lying here, none of them is innocent." He took him by the hand and said, "Come, let's have a glass of wine." Li Yihang shook off his hand and said, "I want to stay here." Mo Yuanqing was stunned and said, "Okay, come into the hall when you are hungry and thirsty, and I, Mo, will be waiting for you at any time." After speaking, he turned around, and just walked a few steps, he heard Li Yihang say: "If your soldiers catch Li Nan, can you kill him?" Mo Yuanqing turned around, stared at him and said: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, if this Li Nan falls into my hands, I will never bend the law for personal gain, and his fate is no different from these people!" Li Yihang nodded and turned around.
I don't know how long I stood next to the corpse, the sun went down, the moon gradually climbed into the sky, and I heard the sound of drinking in the hall getting louder and louder, the cold wind blew, and I shivered a few times, looking at Li Wanye and the other four headless corpses, I only felt indescribably desolate and weird. Xin said: "I have to bury Brother Li's body alone, tomorrow I am afraid that they will dig a pit indiscriminately and bury more than 100 corpses." He took a hoe, chose an open and sunny place, dug down with a hoe, dug a long pit more than two feet deep, put Li Wanye's headless body into the pit, buried it with soil, and then piled a small dirt bag in front of the grave, folded off a door panel, inserted it in front of the grave, and engraved seven words with a dagger: "The tomb of Li Wanye's eldest brother." He kowtowed a few times in front of the grave and prayed in his heart: "Brother Li, you are unfortunately killed by officers and soldiers, but the younger brother cannot avenge you, I hope you will accumulate more merits in the underworld, reincarnate as soon as possible, and no longer do the business of killing people and goods in the next life!"
After standing quietly in front of the tomb for a long time, he finally made up his mind and turned around and walked down the mountain. Li Yihang came down the mountain, feeling dazed in his heart, not knowing where to go. Confused, he walked alone, and the moon was about to sink, shining on him a long black shadow on the dirt road. After walking for a few miles, he stopped and pondered: "Li Nan, Brother Li doesn't know if he escaped? He is so good that he will not be caught by mistake." At the moment, I have nowhere to go, so I might as well go to Tanzhou to visit Aunt Leng and Sister Zhifei, and inquire about Hong Renhai's whereabouts by the way. As soon as I thought of Mei Zhifei, her gentle and beautiful figure appeared in my mind, and I only felt a warm flow in my heart.
After making up his mind, he found a shelter from the wind everywhere, closed his eyes and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already dawn, and although he had been away from the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall for a long time, his habit of doing morning classes had not changed. After some practice, I felt that my whole body was hot and hot, and I felt hungry and thirsty, so I said, "I haven't eaten for two days and two nights, and I haven't drunk water, so I'll fill my stomach first." From memory, he went out of the mountains, to the nearest market, and until the sun was over, and then he came to a small town. He was so hungry that he came to a snack bar, and when he touched his pocket, he couldn't help but cry bitterly, and he came out of prison, and before he could change into a set of clean clothes, he went down the mountain, not even a copper plate with him. Smelling the aroma of cooked food wafting from the store, I felt even more hungry.
was wandering anxiously, and suddenly heard a person say: "This little beggar is so pitiful, homeless for the New Year, look at him must be hungry and panicked, dog, can you give him these two buns to eat?" A little child said: "Okay, good, there is no food to eat on such a cold day, and he will die soon." Then someone stuffed two buns for him, Li Yihang was stunned, and the child couldn't accept it, so he said: "Little beggar, you eat quickly, I still have it, and there is a big basket of steamed buns at home." Li Yihang took it, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "Thank you, little friend, what a good boy." Looking at the child's back jumping and happy, tears were rolling in his eyes again, and he secretly thought: "When my father and mother are not in the world, I have become a poor little beggar, wandering around and homeless." "The heart is sad, but the buns are eaten correctly, and I feel that before I taste the taste of the buns, the two buns have been wiped out. Fortunately, during the Chinese New Year, everyone saw that he was in rags and thin clothes, and they all sympathized with him, and without him opening his mouth, they stuffed food into him.
Li Yihang thought to himself: "This is a long way to Changsha County, Hunan, I can't beg all the way, I have to think of some way."
