Chapter Eighty-Four: Partition
Liu Ji was escorted by his own chief guard to be silent, and the gold-inlaid jade crown didn't know where it had fallen, and his sparse white hair was tightly pressed against his cheeks by sweat. There is no longer the princely spirit of the king of Jiujiang.
Two hours ago, he was still thinking that if he survived this hurdle, he would be sympathetic to his subordinates and care for the people. has been a mean prince for most of his life, and he will be a boy who scatters money in the future. It's better than those misers who die with gold and silver.
In the past few days, there have always been people missing from the guards around me for some reason. He thought he had died in battle, but the chief guard was afraid that he would be sad and didn't tell him. It wasn't until two hours ago that the rope was added, and Liu Ji repented. It turned out that these guards who were loyal to themselves were all "clicked" by the chief of the guard.
Having lived a long time, I have never been grateful to anyone. I've never wanted to be a good person so much, but I didn't expect it to end up like this. The human heart, the needle of the sea. A few days ago, these people swore to themselves that they would repay themselves by their own grace. The words are still in my ears, and this man's heart is becoming faster than a child's face.
Liu Ji didn't say a word, just talked silently. In the past, he was mean, and planted the seeds of today. Since it has taken root, sooner or later it will sprout. There is no complaining about the sky today, and I can't complain about the earth. I only complained that I had gathered money, but I lost people's hearts. Being betrayed by the people around him can be regarded as a deserved reward.
"Master Cang, the chief of the guard of the King of Jiujiang escorted Liu Ji to surrender. Look at what to do! "A steward of the Yun family came to pay homage to the dying Canglan.
"Is Liu Ji okay?" Canglan, who was vomiting at the base of the wall, immediately came to his senses, although he wanted to dismantle this old horseman. But Yun Xiao's will make him not have the courage to disobey. When he heard that Liu Ji had been arrested, he immediately leaned against the wall and was dragged up by the guards.
King Jiujiang's expression was a little wilted, but there was no big problem. The subordinates have checked it, and there is no doubt that it is indeed the king of Jiujiang. "Liu Ji is no better than Liu Che, he just wanders around Jiujiang if he has nothing to do. There are many people who have seen him, and this Yun family steward has seen Liu Ji many times. If he says he's right, he's right.
"Let's go over and have a look." Cang Lan walked towards the palace of the King of Jiujiang with a large group of guards. From afar, I saw a group of people standing under the sun, these people were dressed in fine Han armor, and they knew at a glance that they were Liu Ji's guards.
Just as a chubby old man was being tied, two big men were holding one on the left and one on the right. The silk garment on his body was strangled against his body by a rope that was so tight that it almost snuggled into his flesh. The chubby body was strangled into several sections, like a large silkworm.
Canglan walked to the front in a few big strides. The two big men were like roundworms in his belly. grabbed Liu Ji's bun and pulled it back. Liu Ji's fat face rose up.
The chubby face was covered with sweat, and the locks of hair were tightly pressed against his forehead. The former invincible King of Jiujiang has now become a wolf. glanced at Canglan weakly, and opened his lips a few times. But in the end, nothing was said.
When Cang Lan saw Liu Ji, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Yun Xiao did the errand by himself. It is estimated that the punishment will be lighter. For the sick and crooked Hou Ye, these families will be respected from the heart.
"Master Cang, my brothers and I have tied up this old man to join Master Cang. Please also ask Cang Ye to take it in, if there is a place that has offended Cang Ye before. Please also ask Lord Cang not to remember the villain, the villain here to ask Cang Ye for guilt. ”
The chief guard spoke beautifully, and knelt down as soon as his knees went limp. The guards behind him also knelt down, and the soldiers on the palace wall who were ready to fight to the death also lost their hearts. One by one, they drooped their heads, waiting for Canglan's disposal.
"Arise, all of you, for you are able to turn from darkness to light. Then everyone will be brothers from now on, and let your people go out of the city and lay down their blades. Those who are willing to go, each person will be given the same amount of money. Joining relatives and becoming friends is also good in the world, and you can go wherever you want.
If you don't want to leave, stay in Jiujiang City and continue to work on errands. A qiē will be taken out by the Hou Ye, and you will do whatever you want when the time comes. Canglan couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he looked at the tall palace wall, if these thousands of people really had to resist to the end. I really don't have the capital to break through this palace, and now it's rare for these boys to take the initiative to sacrifice Liu Ji. It's also a god who made a fortune.
"Knowing Dai Ye, my brother is willing to follow Dai Ye on an errand in the future." The head of the guard humbly bent over and said to Canglan as if serving Liu Ji.
The once prosperous Jiujiang City has become like this in just three days. Rotting corpses were everywhere, houses were overturned, and shops were destroyed. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to recover even for ten or twenty years, and the families of these guards don't know what to do. At this time, following Canglan back to Yueyang may be the best choice.
"Since you are willing to follow a certain family, then arrange for these soldiers to re-guard Jiujiang City." Canglan is worried that there is no one to help clean up the mess, and these soldiers are the best scapegoats. Give them food and grass, and let them continue to garrison this ruined Jiujiang.
"King Jiujiang, you didn't expect you to have today. The world is like a new chess game, but fortunately, Hou Ye has generals. Otherwise, Lao Tzu will cut off your fat head now, and someone will settle this prince in a good life. Find a few men from the palace and wait for him, and be careful not to let him die. Hou Ye's will make it clear to you that if you mess up the errand, Lao Tzu is unlucky, don't think about it. ”
As soon as Canglan's words fell, two black-armored guards picked up Liu Ji and walked out of the city.
Liu Ji's chief guard followed Canglan into Liu Ji's palace with a servile face. Although Jiujiang City is like hell, there is a cave in this Liu Ji's palace. Although the temple has fallen a lot of ashes, it is much better than the city where the streets are full of corpses.
The mob has been busy looting for the past few days, and has not attacked the palace walls at all. Therefore, almost every casualty among the soldiers stationed inside, only a dozen or so of Liu Ji's guards who were die-hard were killed by their own people. None of the remaining soldiers were killed or wounded, and the granaries of the palace were piled up like mountains of grain. Canglan couldn't help but gasp after looking at it, these grains are enough for 10,000 people to eat for half a year.
There are still many palace maids in the palace, and Liu Ji has been lustful all his life. Every day is inseparable from women, and women are naturally indispensable in this harem. That day, only a few dozen high-ranking concubines were killed in the main hall, but there were still hundreds of palace maids in this palace.
The chief of the guard bowed his waist and said, "If Master Cang likes it, the villain will arrange it." This Liu Ji is old and frail, and many of these palace maids have not yet budded. Cang Ye ...... "He seems to have forgotten that Liu Ji was once his master, and he is not an old man when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth."
The goshawk frowned, the rebel may have been trying to survive. Maybe some kind of Cheng dù can be forgiven, but he calls the old master in such a tone, and gives favors to the old master's woman. Such a person is inevitably doing something. He glanced back at the chief guard and said, "I didn't ask you what your surname was just now?" ”
"What ...... of humble duties" The chief of the guard bowed and replied, only to find that Canglan had already turned around and left.
Canglan came to Liu Ji's treasury, which was really an eye-opener. In addition to being a good woman all his life, Liu Ji is particularly keen on gold and silver. Although he kept crying poor all day long, when he really reached his treasury, he could only be described as a sea of gold and silver.
The gold bricks were stacked neatly and neatly, and the sunlight shining obliquely in shone brightly. Cang Lan was shocked as soon as he entered the door, he didn't expect this Liu Ji's family background to be so rich. The gold bricks were stacked all the way to the roof of the shed, and the old boy picked up the treasure house to save it to this point.
Dozens of pounds of large silver balls are placed on the ground, which is the best way to prevent theft. Even the most powerful snitch can't get his hands on such a large ball of silver without alarming people.
Even after looking at a few treasury, the furniture is full of vat after vat of pearls. Rows and rows of agate, natural jasper the size of a screen. Huge tusks were piled up in a room.
This treasure trove is full of Cheng dù, compared to the Yun family, it is even better. When Cang Lan saw the end, he could only sigh in addition to being stunned again and again.
Saving money to buy an umbrella, a gust of wind lifted the pole. He saved so much money, but in the end he made wedding clothes for others. With so much gold and silver, I don't know how to invite people to buy people's hearts on weekdays. Who will give you your life when disaster comes?
He couldn't blame the captain of the guard for treating him like this, except that he didn't know anyone. Being mean and unkind is the most painful lesson.
"What about these things? And the women. Cang Lan glanced back at Zheng Bin, this time he had caused a disaster and destroyed Jiujiang City, so many people died. I'm afraid that Yun Xiao will blame it, and I'm afraid that this errand of running Yueyang can't be saved. With so many good things, I'm afraid I can only be a passing god of wealth.
"If the basin is rotten, say the basin, and if the bowl is rotten, say the bowl. We're in trouble this time, but these things are also considered our merits. This treasure was sent to Yueyang and handed over to the thirteenth uncle for storage. These women, Hou Ye has just opened up that overseas land. The family said that there must be no shortage of people to call, when the Hou Ye summoned us to Jimo. By the way, maybe the Hou Ye saw that he was happy to deal with it lightly.
By the way, there are a few jars of pearls and those ivory, jasper, agate or something. Where are the ladies, there is little filial piety. If you can invite a few ladies to speak, maybe you won't be punished this time. Zheng Bin's eyes turned to his heart, and he sacrificed a magic weapon that is common in ancient and modern times - gift-giving.
Back then, he followed Sima Ji as the main gangster, and often walked in some deep house compounds. For the necessary skills of mixed officialdom, this kid is too familiar to be familiar. I know that sometimes, the pillow wind is really powerful.
"You kid has a lot of ideas, and all the good gold and silver are sent to the island in the middle of the lake. These treasures are all in the Yueyang Mansion Treasury, and we will take them with us when we go to Jimo. ”
The two of them had made up their minds, so they asked the guards to carry it. Naturally, these guards would not let go of such an opportunity, and they were all mixed up one by one. Poor Liu Ji has saved up most of his life's bag, and it was carved up like this. (To be continued......)
