Chapter 58: Killing (I)
In February, there was another snowfall, it was a spring snow Yu Zhao and his party, with five attendants, crossed the river, and went to Taisu County, and at noon, they arrived in Taisu County, Yu Zhao looked at a silent village, and his heart was full of emotion.
After the last battle, tens of thousands of people died, and this Taisu County is almost empty now, which is really chilling.
When I arrived in Taisu County, I went straight to the county office, only to see that it was different here after all, a row of yading stood there, all of them were fierce, this was a good thing, but Yu Zhao frowned.
When Yu Zhao arrived at the door, he instructed his entourage: "Hand me the post." ”
"Yes!" One person responded, went up to hand over the post, and within a few minutes, he saw the yamen wide open, and Li Cunyi came up to greet him, and smiled before he spoke: "Oh, it turned out to be Master Yu, I wanted to come to the door to ask for advice, but after the big war in the county, ten thousand households Bai Su really couldn't pull out, and now I can finally listen to the teachings." ”
This is a good statement, but Yu Zhao's expression was grim, and he said: "Master Li, today I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, but I have something to ask. ”
Li Cunyi was stunned, he just received the news just now, saying that he had contacted Du Gongzhen and obtained the alliance covenant, why did someone come up at this time and look so close to asking for sin?
Did you find out about something?
Li Cunyi still had a smile on his face: "Oh, the old man came here today, he must have taught me, I am only a shallow learner, and I am willing to listen - Lord Yu, please take a seat!"
"The Demon Dao Cave that was killed by the general last time, you know, right?" Yu Zhao asked with a stern expression.
"I don't know, but I've heard about it, what's wrong?"
"Hmph, this person deceived the general, saying that he wanted to order an auspicious point for the marshal, but he didn't want to be recognized as an evil point, and he wanted to frame the general with this, and he was cut with a knife. ”
"Oh?" Li Cunyi felt a little regretful in his heart, but said with a smile: "This kind of demon should indeed be beheaded, General Shengming!"
Yu Zhao smiled coldly and said: "Afterwards, the general tracked down the same party and killed some demons, but he found out these letters and found that the Xuandong demon actually had a relationship with one of your disciples!"
Li Cunyi was suddenly taken aback by these words, could it be that he was asking for sin?
But only Yu Zhao and a few people came, and it was not like it, so after thinking about it, he quickly got up and bowed deeply: "The minister is guilty, but I don't know who this guest is? ”
This attitude satisfied Yu Zhao, his expression eased slightly, and said: "This guest is Zhou Zhu, and his father-in-law is Tian Ji, who was punished by the old handsome...... Look at these letters!"
took out some letters, Li Cunyi apologized, stepped forward and read them carefully, the more he looked at them, the more dignified they became.
Like Yu Zhao, he knew something inside, and he didn't expect that the general would deliberately frame the Li family, although these letters were vague, but the implication in them could be figured out as soon as he pondered it, and he was immediately furious in his heart.
This week, Zhu defected to him, because he was young, he didn't have a talent in the end, and he was not taken into account by Li Cunyi, and this correspondence made him even more angry - how could Wu'er trust such a mediocre talent who was not successful enough and had more than enough failures?
Especially at this juncture, if Wang Hongyi is vigilant, wouldn't it be a big deal?
After reading a few letters, Li Cunyi's face turned pale, and he knelt down in the direction of Wenyang Mansion: "The matter involves the handsome Lingju, and the general killed it well, but the minister really doesn't know about it, this must be a annihilation, and the minister is guilty of doing this misdeeds in the Li family!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed again and again, and his forehead was a black blue.
When Yu Zhao saw it, his demeanor was even more gentle: "Master Li doesn't have to be like this, the general doesn't believe it, if he believes it, how can it be the old man who comes?"
"What the general means is that since there is such a mad villain who is misdoing in it, he should be beheaded, but he should not be punished by the canon, lest he be shocked and think that something is wrong in my town...... The general's heart of love is up to your Li family to solve it themselves, as long as you send such a villain's head!"
If it was Li Chengye, maybe he would hesitate, but for Li Cunyi, this Zhou Zhu was not enough to succeed, and he was more than defeated, so he would kill him, and if he could paralyze Wang Hongyi at this juncture, maybe he would still be a blessing in disguise.
Think about it, Wang Hongyi is reluctant to punish the canon, naturally he still trusts the Li family, this in-law is good, and now he immediately kills Zhou Zhu, I am afraid that Wang Hongyi will trust it even more, which is naturally good for the great cause, thinking of this, Li Cunyi's eyes lit up, and he said fiercely: "The minister understands, I will immediately kill such a villain." ”
Yu Zhao was even more satisfied, and said with a smile: "Lord Li is really brave and loyal, but there are two more things. ”
"Master Yu, please speak. ”
"First of all, the general also heard about Tian Ji, and was very sad about it, the general wanted to go back to the city overnight to plead with his father, but he didn't want to, but he had already beheaded him, since he still had a son, why hide it? The general has exonerated him and let him go back to his hometown, and the original land should be returned. ”
Li Cunyi, who heard this, nodded again and again.
"As for this Zhou Zhu, it is really mad, unforgivable, of course it must be beheaded, but it is said that it is a guest of your son, and your son can be killed to prove his innocence, and I believe the general will be very happy. ”
Li Cunyi nodded again and again, and said: "That's true, Wu'er is young and negligent in taking precautions, if you get close to such a villain, he should personally behead him and apologize to the general." ”
"Hey, this month's debriefing is coming, so it's better for your son to take the head, so that you will naturally be happy. ”
This, Li Cunyi was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he only had five or six hundred soldiers, if Wang Hongyi really found out about the rebellion, he didn't have to deceive him, so he agreed immediately: "What the boss said is true." ”
"The old man came, that is to say, this matter, now that there is a result, I am very pleased!"
"The boss is drinking tea here, and the county will do it, I believe it will not take an hour to do it. Li Cunyi said, bowed deeply, and stepped out.
Out of the living room, Li Cunyi's face turned pale, and at this time, an attendant stepped forward: "My lord, where are you going?"
"Take a fire man, oh, where is my son?"
“...... It seems that talking in Mr. Zhou's yard, and Fan Yingzheng is also there. ”
Speaking of Fan Liuhai, Li Cunyi couldn't help but snort coldly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, this person is indeed a general, but I don't know why, he only recognizes Li Chengye as the master, and although he is polite to him, the actual master of the Li family, he is not obedient.
And this Zhou Zhu fanned the flames in it!
If Wang Hongyi is present, he will think of a case on the earth when Li Tang founded the country - the Liu Wenjing case.
Liu Wenjing and Li Yuan are close, but they are even closer to Li Shimin, Li Shimin and Liu Wenjing are secretly planning in prison and preparing to stand by.
Later, Liu Wenjing continued to make meritorious contributions, but because he was too close to Li Shimin, he was always alienated and suspicious by Li Yuan, killed Liu Wenjing and his brother Liu Wenqi, and confiscated his family property, which was actually cutting Li Shimin's wings, and had the meaning of beating Li Shimin.
In fact, Li Cunyi's mentality at this time is somewhat similar.
In his previous life, Li Chengye had been brilliant all the way, and Li Cunyi couldn't break out, but now Li Chengye can be called mediocre, and he has caused a few troubles, so he has the intention of beating.
Therefore, he killed Zhou Zhuzhi without the slightest hesitation.
The next group of people went out of the west gate, went east, passed through a corridor, and came to a courtyard, which was small but small, and in the room, laughter was heard.
Li Cunyi went up with a blushing face, and when he arrived at the door, he stopped again, only listening to his son talking inside.
"Mr. Zhou, you are really a god, this thing is done, I think my father will be very happy. ”
A young man's voice said: "Lord, this is what the minister should do, but unfortunately, the matter of Xuandong was messed up last time, and even the warriors who came over were also killed, if the warriors were there, wouldn't it be better to assassinate Wang Hongyi at a critical time?"
At this time, a calm voice said: "Mr. Zhou's words, I don't agree, assassination is a small way, but my lord, as long as you give me five hundred soldiers, I am sure to kill Wang Hongyi at a critical time, he can't always bring thousands of people!"
"Haha, that's right!" came the laughter of his son Shuanglang, I don't know why, hearing this Shuanglang's laughter, Li Cunyi came up with an evil fire, kicked on the door, and stepped in.
This sound suddenly woke up the people inside, and when they looked back, they saw that it was Li Cunyi, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
"Father?" Li Chengye was startled, woke up first, and saluted.
The two also hurriedly saluted, Li Chengye gritted his teeth, looked at everyone, stared at everyone for a moment, and then said angrily: "Ye'er, you did a good thing, you invited a good person!"
"Father, if there is anything wrong with the child, even if he is punished, please calm his anger. Li Chengye didn't know why, and said again and again.
"Punishment? How dare I punish you, you did a good deed, sent someone to order a murderous point, but was discovered, the general was furious, beheaded, beheaded, and left so many traces, and was found by someone - today Yu Zhao came to the door to ask for the crime, you say, what should we do now?" Li Cunyi gritted his teeth and said with a sneer, his tone sharp and mean.
When Zhou Zhu heard this, his face turned pale immediately, and Concubine Xiang's bamboo fan fell to the ground.
"My father has always felt that you are the hope of the Li family, and he usually takes more care of you, even if he risks the destruction of the family, he will prepare for you all the way, and he doesn't want you to be a rebel like you, and he will not succeed enough to cause such a catastrophe, if it weren't for the fact that Wang Hongyi is young after all, and he still thinks about love, he can be killed just by making the demon fall into the evil land. ”
"Even if you are thinking about love, at this juncture of the great cause, if Wang Hongyi has any doubts, if you have precautions, wouldn't it be a big mess?"
"I worked hard and worked hard for the foundation, but I didn't expect that I would lose to you, is it because my father is in the way, if so, I will hang myself and let you mess around. When Li Cunyi said this, he couldn't stop crying and crying.
Li Chengye couldn't bear this charge, and kowtowed again and again: "How dare my son, how dare my son!"
Li Cunyi wiped his tears and said, "If you still have great ambitions, you will kill me this villain who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures." ”
So saying, he drew the sword of one of his attendants and threw it on the ground.
This crisp sound, although small, sounded like thunder to everyone.
Zhou Zhu knelt on the ground, and the moment the sword fell, he was shaky, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood came into his mouth, but he swallowed it.
Li Chengye was stunned for a moment, his face was pale, and he looked at his strange father in disbelief.
Fan Liuhai's eyes also tightened and clenched his fists.
"Hmph, are you the son of my Li family, just watch it, I'll give you half an hour. Li Cunyi said, turned around and left, and the door "snapped" and closed.
