Chapter 102: Both the dead and the living are useful

How to deal with this group of Jianghu guests who were recruited by his own brother, Qi Boren was worried about this matter before.

Killing them all and burying them on the spot is the easiest way, but it is too brutal, Qi Boren can't bear it, and the people in the rivers and lakes are so righteous, and there are many excellent friendships, killing one person, maybe it will provoke his relatives and friends to come to seek revenge.

And if they are released, they are worried that they will go back, continue to help the second brother, act for the tiger, and deal with themselves, and then they will die more, and they will be their own people.

Qi Boren's initial idea after thinking about it was to imprison people and wait until he and his second brother understood the grievances, and then whether he or the second brother was defeated, there was no need for this group of Jianghu people to continue to help.

However, after listening to Luo Feng's construction, he rethought it again and made a new decision.

On this day, more than 40 Jianghu people who failed to escape in the melee and were captured were taken to the county office.

A roe deer-headed creature trembled and said, "Aren't you going to kill us?"

The man next to him snorted: "My head has fallen off and I have a big scar, what are you afraid of dying! What we do is to work hard, we can't just allow us to kill, not allow people to kill me, right?"

"That's what I said, but we have the old and the young, once we leave, who will take care of the family, if it wasn't for the money at the beginning, how would I wade into this troubled water, I just hate to take the medicine without regrets. ”

This group of Jianghu people licking blood at the edge of the knife, no matter what their strength is, their voices are not small, your words, my words, have turned this yamen into a vegetable market.

Among them, there are many people who are afraid of death and regret, after all, this is a family infighting, not to talk about the country's righteousness and national honor and disgrace, if you really want to talk about it, the young son fights for the position of the eldest son, and does not hesitate to raise the butcher's knife, they are the real unrighteous army.

When Qi Boren came out, the sound of chirping quickly quieted down, and more than eighty eyes looked at him in unison, staring at this "Hades" who could decide his own life and death.

Among the three people who were initially captured, the swordsman named Wang Da was the first to speak: "Master Qi, whether you kill or capture, give me a word, the two armies are fighting, the king is defeated, there is no complaint about life and death, no matter how it is handled, we have no complaints." ”

There may be a few people in the crowd who are afraid of death and do not agree, at this time, they don't dare to shout out loudly for the sake of their faces, at most they have a bitter face, and muttered in a low voice: "Yes, I am represented by heroes and heroes." ”

Qi Boren swept around everyone expressionlessly, waved his hand, and a group of guards came out of the mansion.

Everyone thought that they were going to poison him, although they had been mentally prepared, their faces were still pale, their bodies were shaky, and they were even more cowardly, so they knelt down directly and begged for mercy.

However, the guards were only here to break the shackles, and there were no atrocities.

Qi Boren said to the Jianghu who had not yet turned his mind and looked dazed: "Let's go." ”

Standing beside Wang Da, Wu Zhen, who pretended to be a martial arts swordsman, asked in disbelief, "Do you really want to let us go?"

The guard standing next to him said dissatisfiedly: "The eldest prince has never broken his promise, he will let him go, what are you lying to do? Besides, killing you is just a matter of one sentence, is it useful?"

When everyone heard it, it was also the same reason, and they showed surprise that they were out of the catastrophe of death, even if they were not afraid of death, they were just not afraid of death, and there was no reason to rush to reincarnate, and it was good to be able to survive.

Qi Boren said: "The powder on your body has three hours left to be effective, and you will be able to recover your true qi at that time." Here, I would also like to say a few words to you.

I know your difficulties, you accept money from others, and eliminate disasters with others, but for the sake of money, can you destroy your conscience and help others kill their relatives and rebels?

I don't say who is right and who is wrong with my second brother, but no matter how wrong it is, I can't poison my own brother. If you feel that you have received the kindness of your brother and want to repay it, you should persuade him to value peace and reunite with your brother, which is the right way, and not to become an executioner and help the abuse.

You are all figures with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes, and I am not worried that you will be ungrateful, but I want to persuade you in the end, in the final analysis, this is a family matter of the Marquis of Wuzhao's mansion, and you still don't want to interfere. ”

A man hugged his fists and said: "The second prince has a solicitation for me, but the eldest son has a grace for me, and he is not a person to help anyone. ”

The rest of the people echoed and nodded yes.

"It makes sense, other people's family affairs, what do we outsiders mix. ”

"The second son gave me a thousand taels of silver, and now I almost died for him, and I have already repaid it clearly, and the two do not owe each other, and when it comes to it, this transaction is still a loss. ”

"The people of the rivers and lakes say that Hongyi, the eldest son of the Marquis of Wuzhao, is generous, benevolent and righteous. ”

After a group of people sighed, they clasped their fists and saluted, turned around and left, and in the end there were only three people left.

These three people are none other than Wang Da, Wu Zhen and Peng Xi, who were captured by Qi Boren with fishing nets that day.

Qi Boren asked suspiciously, "Who are the three of you?"

Wang Da said apologetically: "I listened to the slander of my old friend that day, thinking that the murderer was the eldest son, and I almost killed Renjun by mistake, and I was ashamed in my heart, and I was willing to be a pawn in order to make up for my mistakes." ”

Wu Zhen and Peng Xi also clasped their fists and bowed: "I hope that the eldest prince will take in me and other unrighteous people." ”

Qi Boren hurriedly helped the three of them up: "The three strong men are willing to help me, a talented person, they are very welcome, it is not to talk about whether to take them in or not, I hired the three of them." ”

The three of them said in unison: "Xie Gongzi is benevolent!"

On the beam of the county office, Luo Feng witnessed the whole process.

Tongtian Gushu was puzzled: "What did you mean when you said 'agreeing to release people'? Wouldn't it be too reckless, there is a way to cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows, it is obviously your life-and-death struggle, and having the kindness of a woman will only harm others and yourself." ”

"The soldier has the obedience of the soldier, the monk has the interests of the monk, and the chivalrous man has the rules of the chivalrous.

The cultivation world is light on reputation and heavy on interests, but the rivers and lakes are the opposite, all rely on a face and a good reputation to eat, today Qi Boren let them live, after the spread of the word, if they dare to turn around and continue to help Qi Zhongyi, it will be revenge, and their reputation will stink in the future, and it will become a stain for a lifetime.

The heroes who value love and righteousness will definitely choose not to help each other, and it doesn't hurt to let them go.

As for those who forget their righteousness for the sake of profit, what should such people do if they stay around? Hurry up and let them out, and it is the right way to harm their opponents.

The few people who knelt down and begged for mercy just now remembered that these people belonged to goods that could be bought with money, and I left a mark on them and let them go back to Qi Zhongyi's side, maybe there will be a useful opportunity in the future.

A gentleman has the benefits of a gentleman, and a villain also has the usefulness of a villain. ”

Tongtian Gushu was relieved: "Since you have your own thoughts, I won't intervene more, what are you going to do next?"

"The next thing is of course to guard against assassination, it is impossible for the Nine Shadows Sect to send only one disciple to assist the second prince of Qi, in terms of the monk's brain, he must disdain to abide by the rules of mortals, so the first thought is naturally to come to the door to take revenge.

The Nine Shadows Sect is the biggest reliance of the second prince of Qi, as long as they are removed, the other party will become an eagle with broken wings, and they will no longer be able to toss. ”

Tongtian Gushu said: "It's hard to say, if you meet someone who forbears, maybe you will be suffocated." ”

"Then find a way to make them unable to hold back, and send them a congratulatory gift, for for monks, I have never had the kindness of women, and don't they like to refine people's corpses, and now let them taste the taste of being refined. ”

Luo Feng showed a refreshing smile.

Three days later, the Marquis of Wuzhao's mansion.

"Senior Brother Cao is dead? How is it possible, who is talking nonsense and spreading rumors?"

Cheng Lan grabbed the collar of the messenger, and there was a terrifying black light in her beautiful eyes, faintly like a demon god, and the murderous aura was so strong that it was like a substance, which scared the little guy who reported it to the point that the smell of it flowed out of her lower body.

Xiahou Fu hurriedly persuaded: "Senior sister, quickly put the person down, and listen to the news clearly first." ”

Cheng Lan snorted and threw the person to the ground: "Say it quickly!"

"The little and the little people are not very clear, but I heard from the guards outside that someone put a corpse at the gate of the city, and it happened to be recognized by the passing general, it was Cao Xianchang. ”

"Where's the body?"

"It's right outside in the yard. ”

Cheng Lan shook her fingers, shot out five black gases, pierced five holes in the head of the trembling servant, and then floated out like a black shadow.

In the middle of the courtyard, I saw Cao Jian's body, which was being displayed on a coffin.

"Senior brother, how can you be ruthless and leave me? You and I have obviously made an appointment, and when this matter is over, we will go back and let the master marry and become a Taoist couple......

Cheng Lanbei came from it, and suddenly cried into tears.

Xiahou Fu followed closely, sighed, and stepped forward to persuade: "Senior sister, don't be too sad, my generation of monks, going against the sky, it is inevitable that this will happen...... No, the corpse is weird, get out of here!"

He grabbed Cheng Lan and hurriedly retreated.

Hearing a bang, Cao Jian's corpse exploded on the spot, and the corpse poison floated out, only poisoning all the flowers and plants in the yard.

The next moment, inside and outside the Marquis Wu Zhao's mansion, all the family maids, and even the people in the city, heard an extremely resentful voice.

"I'm going to kill you—"

A black light shot up into the sky, streaking across the sky like a meteor.
