Chapter 942: Demonstration
Ten days have passed, there is no sign of resurrection, Gu Shenwei gradually relaxed, for the first time in many years, he knew what it was like not to worry about going mad, standing at the door of the tent and looking out, he saw the slaughter dog patrolling outside, so he called him in, "Your injury is healed?"
Tu Gou patted him twice on his chest, "There is King Lao Long's concern, it's all right, Doctor Sun has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, if he is in the Central Plains, he will definitely be able to become an imperial doctor." ”
"Well, you've got something to look for me, right?"
Tu Gou smiled embarrassedly, but an old man with a tall figure and white hair was as shy as a teenager, "Actually...... I don't know...... Senior sister said......"
"Luo Qikang found you?"
Tu Gou looked at the Dragon King in surprise, and then sighed, "It turns out that the Dragon King knows, so what else do I have to hide?" Luo Qikang didn't look for me directly, but he released words to avenge his younger brother, I heard that several people had been killed, and the senior sister said that she resisted something, so I don't think Luo Jiazhuang put pressure on the Kongtong faction. ”
Gu Shenwei pointed to the thick stack of documents on the table, "Seventeen big hoods in Biyucheng send letters of plea every day, hoping that I can come forward to stop Luo Qikang, as of yesterday, he has killed a **, eleven swordsmen, an innkeeper and five men. ”
"What does Luo Qibai's death have to do with these people?" Tu Gou asked in astonishment.
"**Claiming to have received Luo Qibai and ruined the reputation of the Luo family, the swordsmen are all from the Tianshan Sect, and they participated in the confrontation with the Central Plains people at that time, and the hotel is the one you and Old Man Mu are looking for. ”
Tu Gou remembered clearly, he and Old Man Mu were ordered to find out the Central Plains martial arts characters at that time, so they randomly found a hotel to hold an event, which attracted Tianshan Sect and Luo Qibai, one thing led to another, Luo Qibai finally died under the sword combination of the Dragon King and the Dutch Girl.
"This ...... What is the crime of the shopkeeper and the guy?" Tu Dog has been recuperating from his injuries, he doesn't know much about things, and when he heard the introduction of the Dragon King, he couldn't believe his ears, and then suddenly realized, no wonder the senior sister was so nervous, the situation was actually more serious than he imagined, "Is Luo Qikang going to kill all the people who have something to do with his brother?"
"I guess revenge is an excuse, he's just addicted to killing. ”
"No, Luo Qikang has a chivalrous reputation in the Central Plains, he should be ......" Tugou can't go on, Luojiazhuang has a high status in the Central Plains, and the children of the Luo family have a chivalrous reputation as long as they don't do bad things, "Alas, it's normal to think about it, I've only been in the Western Regions for a few months, and I've killed more people than in the past few decades, this is a killing place, and it seems that there will be no punishment for doing anything." ”
"As long as you are strong, you will not be punished. Gu Shen corrected the claim of slaughtering dogs, because those who were killed were "punished".
"Luo Qikang is a strong man. Tu Gou said, his mood was balanced, "He started from killing inconsequential people, it was a demonstration to others, hehe, although Tu Gou is old, he is not afraid of his swordsman in Luojiazhuang." ”
"You should go back to the Central Plains, there is nothing to do here, no matter who obtains the position of Biyu City Lord, it will change the current rules, and this will no longer be a place to kill. ”
"Senior sister also suggested so, I understand that once he returns to the Central Plains, Luo Qikang will have to abide by the rules there, but...... Dragon King, as you often say, if you kill someone, you have to wait to be killed, this is the current rule of Biyu City, I can't curry favor with both ends, cause trouble in the Western Regions, and go back to the Central Plains to seek refuge. Tu Gou took a deep breath and looked a little excited, "I'm going to stay, Luo Qikang wants to kill me, let him come." ”
"You have nothing to do with Luo Qibai's death. ”
"Even the hotel guy lost his surname, who else dares to say that it doesn't matter? I watched Luo Qibai be killed with my own eyes, not only did I not help him, but I didn't even say a word of persuasion, in Luo Qikang's opinion, this may be regarded as an unforgivable crime. ”
Gu Shenwei pondered for a while and said, "From today onwards, you and Old Man Mu will be my personal guards." ”
"Yes. Tu Gou took the order, knowing that the Dragon King wanted to protect them, "In the Western Regions, I am a subordinate of the Dragon King, only speaking for the Dragon King, since Luo Qikang is openly provocative, shouldn't we strike first?"
"Wait. Gu Shenwei had already seen the hostility in Luo Qikang's eyes, he was not in a hurry, the killing of the Central Plains people might still be beneficial, and when he won the position of city lord and began to formulate the rules, there would be less resistance.
Gu Shenwei could receive petitions with different contents almost every day, and the various forces in Biyu City increasingly regarded him as the future ruler, but he received information that the Central Plains and Jinpeng Castle had also received many petitions, and the number was not much less than that of the Dragon King, indicating that he was only one of several candidates.
Among the countless pairs of shrewd eyes in Biyu City, no one has yet achieved an absolute advantage in the position of city lord.
Gu Shenwei chose to avoid it temporarily, but Luo Qikang had to make inches, this time, he chose to start with the "internal annihilation" of the Central Plains.
Sun Chengqi, the deputy envoy of the Central Plains, has always felt uneasy about his position, before he went to the Western Regions, he didn't expect that the envoy and the protector of the Western Regions would die one after another, leaving such a huge vacancy for himself, on the one hand, he felt that this was a God-given opportunity, on the other hand, he felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was too heavy, and one wrong step would cause death.
So he chose to rule by inaction, obeying the orders of the eunuch Zhang You in all matters and affairs, and at the same time leaving a lot of written evidence, in case something happens, he can put the responsibility on Zhang You.
Zhang You has his back against Yan Qin, a regular servant, and he can withstand blows better than him.
Sun Chengqi never thought that the threat would come from Luo Qikang.
Hedong Luojiazhuang is famous in the Central Plains, there are dignitaries in the court, and there are swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, of course Sun Chengqi will not have heard of it, but he is a typical civil official, only sensitive to the position, and takes it for granted that the reputation of the rivers and lakes is treated separately from the status of the court.
Luo Qikang has a half-official position, even if the grade is very low, backed by the Luo family's heritage, he will be respected by the deputy envoy of the Central Plains, but he is just an ordinary swordsman, wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier, mixed in with many guards.
The battle of Jinpeng Fort made Luo Qikang famous in Biyu City, and Sun Chengqi finally understood that this person was not ordinary, so he held an appreciative attitude and condescendingly co-opted, not knowing that he had greatly offended this swordsman.
Therefore, when Sun Chengqi, who was sitting in the tent, looked up and found that Luo Qikang was uninvited, he couldn't help but be very surprised, and his face showed displeasure, "Luo Guard, you came just in time, I have something to look for you, many commercial houses in Biyu City have sent petitions, saying that you are killing innocents indiscriminately in the city, but is there such a thing?"
"I killed a few people, but they weren't innocent. Luo Qikang said coldly, he didn't even bow down to say goodbye, let alone call him "adult".
Sun Chengqi was extremely sensitive to this kind of thing, and immediately got up and said with a straight face: "Luo Qikang, you are too bold. Someone!"
Sun Chengqi called the guards outside the tent, but no one came in, and the guards who were usually loyal to their duties didn't know where to run at this time, "Go out, I'm very busy today, and I'll talk about your affairs tomorrow." ”
Luo Qikang took out an official letter from his arms and handed it to Sun Chengqi, "Look at it." ”
The guard's tone became more and more unpolite, Sun Chengqi became cautious, there is a strict system for official correspondence, and it should never be in the hands of a guard first, he received it in his hand, took out the letter in the envelope, and after only two glances, his face changed greatly, and he jumped directly to the back to check the seal.
"This ...... Tomorrow I will return to the Central Plains and personally ...... to Your Majesty."
Luo Qikang pulled out his sword, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stabbed the blade into the chest of the deputy envoy as if he were an equal master, but did not immediately kill the other party.
Sun Chengqi looked at the bleeding wound on his chest in surprise, and then turned his gaze to the guard with a slightly dark face, completely unaware of why he had been hit by this sword, he took two steps forward, threw himself on the ground, and knocked over the table next to him.
Luo Qikang walked to the door of the tent, turned back, looked down at the face-down corpse, and suddenly drew his sword again and cut off the head.
He kind of liked the rules of Biyu City.
Gu Shenwei was discussing matters with Zhong Heng, and the guards came in to report that a small group of cavalry ran out of the Central Plains military camp and had approached the gate of the Dragon military camp.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang You rushed into the tent and knelt on the ground and shouted, "The Dragon King save me."
Zhong Heng stepped forward to comfort, and it took a while for Zhang You to regain his composure and said, "The guards rebelled and killed the deputy envoy Lord Sun, but fortunately, General Dugu reacted quickly and sent someone to send me to the Dragon King." ”
Gu Shenwei was very surprised, no matter how bold Luo Qikang was, he would not openly kill the Central Plains officials, he was not an ordinary high-roller, and his reckless behavior would cause trouble for the entire family, "General Dugu, why didn't he come with you?"
"No, I don't know. Zhang You only thought about his escape, and never considered Duxian's safety.
The information provided by Zhang You was extremely limited, and soon more accurate news came that the guards did not rebel, and Luo Qikang killed Sun Chengqi on orders.
Sun Chengqi's crime was that he collaborated with the enemy and was inconsiderate, which damaged the face of the imperial court.
Zhang You's face is like ashes, Sun Chengqi is acting according to his instructions, if he is guilty, he is indispensable, "This is all Yan Changshi's order!"
Dugu Xian soon sent someone to send a secret letter, saying that he could only serve as the commander of the Central Plains for three more days, and the protector and commander of the Western Regions personally appointed by the imperial court was about to arrive.
Gu Shenwei was taken aback again, it was less than a month before Wei Song's death, and I am afraid that the news has not yet reached the Central Plains, how could the new official arrive?
After appeasing Zhang You, Gu Shenwei and Zhong Heng immediately discussed countermeasures, the secret letter did not say the name of the successor, Zhong Heng guessed: "This appointment has obviously been issued a long time ago, Wei Song did not know that his position had been replaced before his death, so this person is likely not a member of the Queen Mother's party, but their opponent." ”
The biggest opponent of the Hou Party is King Xiao, Gu Shenwei doesn't understand the purpose of King Xiao's move, he is seriously considering whether he should take advantage of this last opportunity to capture Biyu City.
