Chapter 015: The Tragedy of Annihilation
"Hehe, Brother Xiao has a heart, if you have a place for me Cai Qing in the future, just let me know. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "In the private room of Cuiyun Building, one of the most prestigious restaurants in the Daimyo's Mansion, Cai Qing, who was imprisoned in the Daimyo's Mansion, touched Xiao Tang with a smile and drank it all.
Xiao Tang learned that Xiao Yi was arrested by the officials, and hurriedly prepared to negotiate with the government, and then found out that Xiao Yi was not imprisoned in the county government of Zongcheng County. It stands to reason that the incident that arose in the Xiao family should be handled by the Zongcheng County Government in its jurisdiction, can it be so careful?
And even if Xiao Yi committed the crime of fighting with others, and the other party did not have a bitter master who was beaten, then this is just a crime of flogging (the punishment of beating the prisoner with bamboo and wooden boards) and cane punishment, but when Xiao Tang and others rushed to the Daimyo's Mansion, the Daimyo's Mansion magistrate did not receive a lawsuit, but only said that the prisoner was taken into custody in the prison yard and asked Xiao Tang to go there to inquire.
Fortunately, when he arrived at the prison official prison in the Daimyo Mansion, Xiao Yi was sent out by several prisons, and one of the small prisons also hinted that it was Cai Qing, the "one flower" of the two hospitals, who did something to make Xiao Yi suffer.
Xiao Tang knew that this "One Flower" Cai Qing and his brother "Iron Arm" Cai Fu were doing the duties of executioners in "Water Margin" Liangshan One Hundred Singles and Eight Generals, and when they were officials in the prison of the Daimyo's Mansion, they could also experience the complexity of human nature from the two of them.
On the one hand, the Cai brothers took advantage of their positions to collect black money and were instructed by others for a large amount of ill-gotten gains, and they would really end a few lives in prison; On the other hand, they will also have sympathy for the wronged heroes and loyal servants, and when the heroes of Liangshan killed the red eyes in the Daimyo's mansion, Cai Fu also pleaded that the people of a city were innocent, and Hugh would kill more evil.
As for this pair of Cai family brothers who are wronged and good people as long as the price is enough, they are the Cai family brothers who are wronged, whether they are fake and good deeds in front of the heroes of Liangshan in the original book, Xiao Tang does not want to think deeply at the moment, the current Xiao Jiaji matter is not irreparable, these two people are in the official family, and Xiao Tang also needs them to "take money to do things, break wealth and eliminate disasters", so he took this opportunity to invite the Cai family brothers to thank him in person.
Xiao Tang set up a feast in Cuiyun Building, and Wu Song had a straightforward temperament, which was definitely not suitable for this kind of flattery and entertainment, so Xiao Tang only brought Xiao Yi, Xiao An, and Xue Yong, and the Cai brothers only Cai Qing went to the banquet, after all, his brother Cai Fu was at the level of the prison director in the municipality-level system, and Xiao Tang, the landlord of the small market town, was not qualified to make him say that he would come.
After three rounds of drinking, Cai Qing said a little smoky: "Hehe, Brother Xiao, as the so-called people don't fight with officials, you can cover the sky with one hand in your Xiao family, but if you neglect the officials and nobles, it is also in vain." ”
Xiao Tang just smiled and said: "What Cai Prison said is that the younger brother was negligent for a while and touched the bad head of the Li Daguan, and there is also Lao Cai who is in prison on behalf of the junior brother and Li Daguan's subordinates to make peace, and the little brother will not provoke the Li Daguan again." ”
Cai Qing was originally quite disgusted with Li Shaohua in his heart, but at this time he was already half drunk, and he scolded at the time: "Li Daguan? Hey... Brother Xiao won't tell you anything, if it weren't for the hard and ruthless character behind that guy, he would have been convicted and imprisoned for his nine-headed insect style, and then it would fall into my hands, hehe... By my means, I will turn his 'hydra' into a 'headless ghost'!" ”
Xiao Tang saw that he had a reason, so he asked in passing: "I just don't know if that nine-headed worm is relying on that court official?" ”
"Which one else? It was Zhao Xianggong, the prime minister of the dynasty. Cai Qing sighed: "It is said that Cai Yuanchang and Cai Xianggong are also a character, how many ministers have been consumed and killed by a few ups and downs?" Now he didn't expect that Zhao Xianggong, who was following him, took power, and the old and new party disputes that had been fought in the court for several dynasties finally settled, and I thought that Zhao Xianggong's position should also sit firmly.
I heard that the nine-headed insect and Zhao Xianggong's son are classmates in the same academy, so they climbed into the relationship with Zhao Xianggong, so why does Zhao Xianggong need money to do some big and small affairs? The one surnamed Li is counted as Zhao Xianggong's faction, and he is his money bag, how can anyone dare to provoke him without opening his eyes?
Hey! So the nine-headed insect is so arrogant and helpless. ”
Xiao Tang knew that the Zhao Xianggong mentioned in Cai Qing's mouth was the current Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Tingzhi, and that Cai Yuanchang Cai Xiangcheng was the traitorous Cai Jing who had been stinking for thousands of years.
The current situation is that Cai Jing, who has been an official since the time of Song Shenzong, was finally seized by Zhao Tingzhi, who was originally his party, when everyone thought that Cai Jing should be lonely, Xiao Tang knew that Cai Jing would rise up again to defeat Zhao Tingzhi, and after a few ups and downs, he could still become the first minister of power in the Great Song Dynasty.
But the nine-headed insect Li Shaohua, a character who is not recorded in the official history and "Water Margin", Xiao Tang does not know whether even if Cai Jing regains the phase, he will eradicate it together, after all, those court officials need this kind of person everywhere.
After inviting Cai Qing to eat and drink, Xiao Tang took out twenty taels of garlic gold to give to Cai Qing, Xiao Yi committed a murder case, and he was not tried through the formal judicial process, so it is said that there is no need to waste too much money, and Xiao Tang in order to have a good relationship with the Cai brothers in the public gate in the future, this matter also depends on him to go away, so he used this gold and silver.
Cai Qing was obviously very satisfied with Xiao Tang's upper path, he was full of wine and food, patted his ass and walked away. Looking at the background of Cai Qing's departure step by step, Xiao Tang couldn't help but sigh secretly, in the face of that blatant oppression, can he be like Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Shi Jin and other heroes in the Water Margin who roared when they saw injustice, and simply turned against him?
Xiao Tang can't, the current Xiao Tang can only endure it, he has to endure it, because Xiao Tang has too many scruples now, he has to think about the livelihood of Xiao Mansion and even the entire Xiao Family Collection, and Xiao Tang doesn't have such a ability now, even if he is shocked by Wu Song, he is just angry and helpless.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
And just when Xiao Tang was worried about Li Shaohua's affairs, the nine-headed worm didn't take Xiao Tang, the landlord and young master of the small market town, to heart, because he was now busy meeting with the wealthiest wealthy businessmen in the Daimyo's mansion.
Li Shaohua pretended to be elegant, holding his chin to look at the five or six well-known extra-rich people in the Daimyo Mansion in front of him, but not far away, there was a vicious dog mastiff he raised, guarding the bloody rotten meat, chewing heavily.
The vicious dog was full of blood, and from time to time he had to raise his head and bark at those outsiders, although this was extremely rude, but those outsiders still only did not see it, because this dog was fighting the power of his master's nine-headed insect.
And beside Li Shaohua, his four right-hand men "called the mourning owl" Liu Guang, the "five evil heads" Guanghui, the "heart piercing gun" Jin Chengying, and the "intestinal son" Li Zongtang sat on either side of him.
That Guanghui wore an iron hoop on his head, wore a soap cloth with a short spike belt, and wore a string of 100 beads made of eight imitation human neck bones around his neck, and two ring knives around his waist were collected in the sand fish skin sheath.
Buddhism has clouds: the practice of the precept of "deception of different appearances, arguments, study of different arts, loud and powerful, said that the benefits are to move people's hearts and receive the offering" of the five evils to nourish life, that Guanghui Toutuo has no taboos, self-proclaimed five evils deviate from the right path of Buddhism, but he has practiced the extremely advanced knife skills in Shaolin to the realm of perfection, with the "Great Dharani No Scar Knife" and "Asher Knife" There are few opponents in the world, and he is the first master under Li Shaohua.
"Heart-piercing gun" Kim Sung-young is good at spearmanship and equestrianism, he is brave and ruthless, and he is often good at using force with others, and he never leaves half a trace of affection whenever he fights; And Li Zongtang is good at knife skills and bow horses, and he is rampant with fresh clothes and angry horses on weekdays, so he got the nickname of "no intestine boy" (another name for crab).
And the think tank "called the mourning owl" Liu Guang was born as a lawyer, but he only litigated for the powerful and bullies, and he was very good at reversing black and white to confuse right and wrong, and the good people who usually sued him met him, and most of them were sued by him for bankruptcy, seeking death and suicide, just like meeting the owl (owl, a fierce bird in ancient China) who reported the funeral at night.
Liu Guang originally had no way out, but when he learned that Li Shaohua was a good woman, he opened the door and sent his daughter Liu Huiniang to Li Shaohua's mansion as a concubine.
Even with his two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Lin, the "Bloody Jackal", are even more powerful, and finally have fun and run rampant in the Daimyo's mansion, and they are a pair of bullies who are notorious.
"I also know that the business in your hands has to pass through Gyeonggi Road, Jingdong, Jingxi, HB Hedong, Qinfeng and other roads." Li Shaohua opened his mouth and said, he raised his hand with his own arrogance: "At such a time, the world is not peaceful, bandits are rampant everywhere, not to mention the army in various places, Tianxiong, Henghai and other military health have also made efforts for the smooth trade routes of you, otherwise just on the green forest pirates, I am afraid that you will have to lose a lot of money, so the previous share, I'm afraid it is not enough, right?"
There are also livelihoods such as horses and animal tendons, but the imperial court is paying close attention to them, and they also interfere with military supplies, so I also instructed the people in charge below to open up some ways. Well, I need you to take care of these things. ”
In fact, the real meaning of what Li Shaohua said is that I will intervene in the protection fees of you, the money paid to me by filial piety is too small, and the transactions that you can make money on. The style of this nine-headed insect is just like the posture of Zhou Chaoxian played by Liang Jiahui in "Black Gold" when he negotiated with others: "Who is in favor? Who is against? ”
But even if Li Shaohua squeezes these members of the Daimyo Mansion, he can completely push it into the investigation, not to mention that Zhao Tingzhi is the backstage, and if he wants to collect evidence of his crimes, I am afraid that he will be trapped in it long ago.
The outsiders who were usually considered to be superior people in the Daimyo Mansion just swallowed their anger, but after half an hour, they negotiated the matter, and each said goodbye to Li Shaohua.
Li Shaohua stopped one of the youngest and asked, "Why didn't you see Lingzun Lu Yixian Lu Yuanwai?" ”
The young owner of the Lu Mansion was born with bright eyes, a lofty instrument, and an extraordinary appearance, but now he made a humble and humble appearance, and replied: "I can teach Li Gongzi to learn that my father has been unwell recently, and the affairs of the Lu Mansion will be taken care of for the time being. ”
Li Shaohua looked up and down at the young owner of the Lu Mansion: "I heard that your ability was passed on by Zhou Dong, the northwest hero of the Tokyo Royal Boxing Gym, and the gun and stick made it superb, and the rivers and lakes respected you as HB Jade Qilin' Lu Junyi." You... It's not a small name. ”
Hearing that Li Shaohua seemed to be praising this Lu Junyi, the helper "Heart-piercing Gun" Jin Chengying next to him snorted: "What a big breath!" Some people will know a few pistols and sticks, and they think that they are good at the rivers and lakes, do you dare to fight with me? It's a mule or a horse, and you only know when you come out to slip! ”
Li Shaohua squinted at Lu Junyi and said, "How is it?" My Jin Jiaotou's gun is also quite accomplished, or Lu Gongzi... You're going to play with him? ”
Lu Junyi bent his waist lower, and hurriedly said: "In this nickname, because there are familiar people, they are all called nonsense, and they are lowly in their skills, and they dare not have a long time with the head of the Jin Sect." ”
"It's your acquaintance." Jin Chengying glanced at Lu Junyi with disdain, and he said to Li Shaohua again: "Young master, what am I talking about?" Some sons and brothers can blow nonsense with some guns and sticks, and they really want to fight with others, but they are all guts. ”
"How can you be rude to Gongzi Lu?" Li Shaohua pretended to reprimand Jin Chengying, he looked at Lu Junyi playfully, and joked: "Lu Gongzi is delicate and expensive, and he is engaged in the business of making money every day, how can he have the leisure to use force with others?" That's it, Mr. Lu, you... Just step back in peace. ”
Lu Junyi had already been filled with anger by Li Shaohua's arrogance and Jin Chengying's provocation and insults, but now he could only suppress his anger and retreat.
Li Shaohua looked at Lu Junyi's back contemptuously, thinking that since he was Zhou Dong's disciple, he must indeed have some ability, but so what? If you are a martial arts master or a hero, you will either be used by me, or you will obediently hold your tail in front of me, and what makes you the number one master in the world is not the ability of fists and feet, guns and sticks, but money and power!
Li Shaohua stood up, looked at the mastiff dog that was guarding the dog basin, he stretched out his foot and gently opened the dog basin to provoke it, the mastiff dog was mostly taken care of by his subordinates, and he was not close, the mastiff was gobbling up, but the "delicacies of the mountains and seas" in front of him were taken away, it barked out its fangs, and its throat sounded to Li Shaohua in an attacking posture.
Li Shaohua's face changed, but he didn't have the leisurely style of Fang Cai, and his eyes were full of murder. Seeing this, the dog keeper hurriedly stopped the manic mastiff, knelt down in front of Li Shaohua and said, "Young master, stop being angry!" Little damn it! ”
Li Shaohua's face sank like water and said to the family: "Drag this beast out, kill it, and then reward the people in the house, stew it and make dog soup to eat." And you, kneel outside and slap your mouth fifty times, even if one palm is not crisp or loud, I will let someone else slap you. ”
Liu Guang, who called the mourning owl, suddenly walked out and said to Li Shaohua: "Young master, it is better for us to be low-key at the moment, and we are still acting as before, for fear that it will be unfavorable to us to fall into the handle." ”
Li Shaohua frowned and said, "Why is this?" ”
Liu Guang replied: "I heard that the newly appointed left-behind minister of this famous mansion is Liang Shijie, the nephew of Liang Zimei, the secretary of the household department in the court, that Liang Zimei is already good with Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, etc., this Liang Shijie is Cai Jing's son-in-law, and he is a political enemy with Zhao Xianggong in the court. ”
Li Shaohua snorted disdainfully and said: "After all, you are just the insight of a lawyer, attacking scheming in a government and a county, maybe you can still come in handy, but you can't see through the deception of this court officialdom!" Zhao Xianggong turned out to be Cai Jing's person, when Zhao Xianggong was the middle of the imperial history, Cai Jing also said all the good things about Zhao Xianggong to the official family, and now he is not riding on the head by Zhao Xianggong?
This kind of truth, even if Liang Shijie can't see through it, his uncle Liang Zimei is an old fox, how can he not break it? What about Cai Jing's son-in-law? Now even his father-in-law who is thin doesn't dare to compete with Zhao Xianggong, what else does he dare to do? Even if he doesn't know each other, it's easy to set him up in the Daimyo's Mansion!
What's more, when his uncle Liang Zimei was the HB Road transfer envoy, he won the favor of the Holy Grace when he opened the door to enter Beizhu from the north, and now his way to make a fortune is in my hands, and Liang Zimei has also written to me several times to discuss the joints, in my opinion, his Liang family is also ready to fall to Zhao Xianggong's side. If so, what are the scruples? ”
Liu Guang wanted to speak and stopped, he knew that this Li Shaohua was stubborn and self-esteem, and if he continued to talk about it, he would make him unhappy, so he sneered and said: "The young master is wise, and the little one sighs to himself." ”
"That's it." Li Shaohua flicked his sleeves and said, "Tonight, Zongcheng County Su Yuan will hold a banquet in the mansion to entertain you, how about Master Guanghui and I go together?" ”
Li Shaohua's first master, the five evil heads Tuo Guanghui raised his eyelids and laughed deeply: "There is good wine and good meat to eat, why don't you go?" ”
Li Shaohua also smiled, it is said that this Su Yuanwai is also the most up-to-the-top of those wealthy businessmen near the left of the Daimyo Mansion, he is greedy for the imperial court's disaster relief money and grain, when the imperial court tracked it down, he sent Su Yuanwai to use his own grain storage to make up the difference, and make huge profits with the difference in the price of rice, oil and salt, then Su Yuanwai also used his own financial resources to help Li Shaohua sell treacherously, not to mention the filial piety to him on weekdays.
Only a little ...... Since Li Shaohua saw Su Yuanwai's daughter, he made up his mind to get her, but when he mentioned this matter to Su Yuanwai, who was obedient to him like a filial son and a virtuous grandson, he had to prevaricate every time.
That Su Yuanwai seems to love his daughter very much, and just wants to marry her to a scholarly family as a wife, while Li Shaohua only wants to find a woman from a high-ranking official and important minister's family to help him prosper in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Shaohua couldn't help but move his liver fire, I cover the sky with one hand in this famous mansion, what kind of woman can't get it? What about being my concubine, then Su Yuanwai is a familiar person, but he is so ignorant in this matter!
As...... Looking for an opportunity to force his daughter's body, when the raw rice is cooked and ripe, his daughter's chastity and innocence are ruined in my hands, and the Su Yuanwai, who is obedient to himself, still pushes the boat and lets his daughter obey me?
A few hours later, Sioux House.
Li Shaohua's face was hideous, his hands were full of blood, like a demon who had just climbed up from the Nine Hells, there were dozens of corpses lying in Nasu Mansion, those dead corpses seemed to be staring at him, the knife held by Li Shaohua couldn't help trembling, and finally fell to the ground with a "bang".
At the banquet a while ago, under the sycophancy and toast of Su Yuanwai and his three sons, the fluttering Li Shaohua stood up leisurely and went out to the toilet, and happened to see Miss Su in the garden of Sufu.
Li Shaohua, who was drunk for the most part, remembered the thoughts he had during the day, sneaked into the garden and pushed away the maid accompanying Miss Su, and then hugged Miss Su and fell to the ground.
Su Yuanwai, who had always been respectful to him and accompanied him with a smiling face, saw that his baby daughter was humiliated, so he went crazy and went forward with red eyes to beat Li Shaohua, and asked Zhuang Ke to tie him up and report to the official.
How could Li Shaohua, who is respected and flattered by everyone, suffer from this? His murderous intent rose sharply, and with the strength of the wine, he took out the steel knife of an entourage around him and slammed it into Su Yuanwai's heart, and the five evil heads Tuo Guanghui, who came to the banquet with him, saw that he had made a fuss, and pulled out two snowflake iron ring knives to reveal his ferocity, and Su Yuanwai's three sons and a dry village household were killed.
Seeing that the situation was irreparable, he ruthlessly ordered all the remaining female dependents and helpers who were captured in Su Mansion to be chopped up and killed.
Liu Guang walked to Li Shaohua, who was uneasy, with a gloomy face, and said, "Young master, this disaster is inevitably too big..."
Li Shaohua almost felt disgusted when he smelled the smell of blood that was scattered everywhere, and when the alcohol and anger faded, he felt extremely panicked and frightened at this time, no matter how powerful he was, once this monstrous case of exterminating the door happened, how could he escape the legal punishment of the Great Song Dynasty?
"No more nonsense! The matter... What should be done about this? Li Shaohua asked angrily, his voice trembled, and he was able to say a sentence completely.
"Don't worry, young master, this matter will be handled by the villain." Liu Guangyin smiled and said: "We only need to do something at the time of the crime, take all the property in the house, and then strip off the clothes of the maids in the house, and disguise that after the young master went to the banquet and left, only thieves slaughtered the Su family for robbery." If you use some small means, even the officials and servants in the yamen will never be able to find out why.
Even if someone will be suspicious of the young master, but the power of the young master, and there is no conclusive evidence, who would dare to find out the young master's head? And the most important thing is: Su Mansion can't stay in a live mouth and leak the rumors! ”
Li Shaohua felt a little relieved at this time, he nodded and said: "That's good......" Suddenly he remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Then where is Miss Su now!?" ”
One of his subordinates said, "Go back to the young master..... Several nursing homes in the Su Mansion seemed to protect the young lady of the Su family and escaped, and there was chaos just now, so they didn't stop them. ”
"Rubbish!" Li Shaohua rushed up and gave the taker a hard slap in the ear, and said sharply: "Don't you go find it for me soon!" We must not let her escape!! ”
At this moment, Li Shaohua still thought hatefully in his heart: "This matter is all because of that girl, when she falls into my hands, I will teach her to taste my power!"
