Chapter 17 The Trustee Says Peace
"If you want to add a crime, you have no choice but to worry!"
Liu Zongmin said in a deep voice: "We can announce that he secretly communicated with the government army and pretended to come and surrender."
Li Zicheng waved his hand: "Li Xin killed the county magistrate and dozens of people below, saying that he secretly communicated with the government army, but he didn't believe it."
Liu Zongmin urgently advised: "Brother, since ancient times, I don't know how many people have died in fighting for the country. How many things are legitimate? Emperor Taizong of Tang was a heroic lord for all ages, who would not admire him? But in order to fight for the country, he killed his brothers, and the two lords of the Southern Tang Dynasty did not lose their morality. During the five dynasties, Jiangnan was light taxes and taxes, and rested with the people. What was the crime? Emperor Taizu of Song said bluntly: How can he allow others to snore when lying beside the bed!
Li Xin has talent and gathered another group of people. With the influence of Hong Niang in Henan, it would be fine if he sincerely surrendered, but at the dinner tonight, he was obviously not the same as us. If he doesn't kill him now, he is afraid that he will become another Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai!"
"this……"
Li Zicheng pondered silently. He didn't want to kill Li Xin now, and Li Xin was of some use to him.
However, others can't wait. They were afraid that Li Zicheng would keep Li Xin and develop a system of superiority and inferiority. Li Zicheng became Zhu Yuanzhang. After taking the world, he killed all his brothers. In this case, Li Xin would have a ten unforgivable crime and would have to die!
Tian Jianxiu bowed from the side and said, "Brother, killing Li Xin is not necessary in Dengzhou. In a few days, the eldest brother can send him to lead his troops as the vanguard to go north, set up an ambush in advance, and secretly follow the army. At that time, suddenly attack and attack on both sides. Maybe his subordinates will take off his head first when they see that the opportunity is not good, and they will take off his head first to surrender."
"Brother, I can't hesitate!"
All the generals clasped their fists!
“Oh ~~”
Li Zicheng sighed heavily. He also knew that there was no need to discuss the killing of Li Xin, so he nodded and said, "This matter must be considered safely. Don't rush to do it. It's not too late to wait until he relaxes in a few days. The food and supplies he needs should be supplied. He will be appointed General Quan tomorrow."
"Brother wise!"
All the generals praised it.
...
The next morning, Li Xin brought a few entourages and another 1,000 taels of silver out of the camp to visit the old Scorpion. The man's surname was Mo, and no one knew his real name. He was in his forties and had more than 4,000 troops under him. He had joined Li Zicheng half a month ago. He was considered a powerful force in addition to his army. Even if Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin were polite when he saw him.
"Master, Li Xin from Qi County came to visit him, with a gift sheet."
As soon as the old scorpion got up from his concubine's bed, an old servant came to report.
"Oh? Bring it!"
The old scorpion stretched out his hand.
The old servant handed over the gift list, and when Lao Jiezi saw it, he had a total of 1,000 taels of silver tattoos!
"Li Xin?"
The old scorpion frowned.
The old servant said, "Master, this Li Xin was originally a scholar in Qi County. He was framed by the county magistrate. The Hongniang saved him and then recruited some people. He came to the King of Breaking yesterday. Logically speaking, the master had nothing to do with him. Even if he admired Master's name, he shouldn't give this kind of tribute."
“Haha~~”
The old scorpion laughed: "If you have nothing to do, you must ask me for it. First, see what tricks he has. We will accept the gifts. I will decide whether to do it or not."
"yes!"
The old servant bowed and went out, and within a moment, he introduced Li Xin.
"Captain Don't, long-term reverence!"
Li Xin bowed and laughed.
The old scorpion also stood up and said, "I said why are there magpies chirping on the branches early in the morning? It turned out that Mr. Li was visiting, which really made the wall shine. Come on, hurry up and sit and serve tea!"
Li Xin said thanks for his thanks, took a teacup, chatted with the old scorpion for a few words, and then got back to the point: "Captain Mo, the student came here with a risk, but he really asked for something."
"oh?"
The old scorpion narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm going to tell you that Mr. Li, I'm only half a month earlier than you, and my situation may not be much better, I'm afraid I can't help much."
Li Xin cursed the old man with a scammer and sincerely said, "This is not difficult. Yesterday, King Chuang held a banquet to entertain me. However, I was frivolous after drinking and offended King Chuang. Although King Chuang did not blame him, the more I sobered up, the more I thought about it, the more I shouldn't have thought about it. I heard that Chief Mo was always the name of being eager to be righteous and was quite famous in the world. Even King Chuang held politeness, so I dared to ask Chief Mo to be an ice man in front of King Chuang. The students were very grateful."
The old scorpion was stunned. Unexpectedly, he just asked Li Xin for a request. He believed that he had to say peace. Li Chuang had to give him face at least. This thousand taels of silver would be too easy to make.
"So this is the case, then Mo just went for Mr. Li. But I dare not guarantee the vote if it succeeds!"
The old scorpion will not respond to the difficulties.
"Thank you, Chief Mo!"
Li Xin bowed and thanked him, chatted for a while, then said goodbye and left.
The old scorpion delayed for a while before he asked to see Li Zicheng. When Li Xin asked him to beg for mercy, Li Zicheng smiled and said, "I thought it was something extraordinary. Mr. Li was too worried. They are scholars, but they are small-minded and suspicious. If you ask him to relax, how can you take the words after drinking seriously? I, Li Chuang, have never blamed him. After a while, I, you will still use him."
The old scorpion was secretly happy that a thousand taels of silver was stable, so he praised Li Zicheng for a few words before leaving the state yamen.
In an instant, Li Zicheng's face was full of anger and cursed: "Li Xin, thief, damn it!" He even slashed a corner of the table with a fierce sword!
"Bang!"
Liu Zongmin also slapped the wall with a palm and cursed: "Why is this husband of Duan so vicious? I wish I could rush over and kill him now!"
Li Xin asked Lao Jiezi to be an ice man, just because he was not afraid of big trouble, and spread the matter so that everyone knew that he offended Li Zicheng because of his drunken words. In this way, can Li Zicheng kill him again on a messy charge?
He did not expect Li Zicheng to be proud of his actions. The biggest function was that even if Li Zicheng wanted to kill him, he could only kill him secretly. Since it was secret, the manpower he used must be a confidant. It was impossible to pretend to be others, otherwise it would make the voters feel heartbroken. This would be a fatal blow to Li Zicheng, so it was destined to have limited manpower.
"Don't be impulsive!"
Li Zicheng waved his hand, and hatred flashed in his eyes. He really didn't expect that Li Xin would play this trick. The old scorpion was already very friendly, and this matter would soon be known to everyone in the city. Any act of putting a hat on Li Xin would make people talk. At this stage, Li Zicheng valued the most the most. If his reputation was corrupt, who would dare to vote for him?
At this moment, he really had a murderous intent towards Li Xin and couldn't wait to reuse it.
People like Li Xin should be killed!
"Brother!"
Liu Zongmin clasped his fists and said, "The rabbit husband has made things happen, so he can't kill him by others. But I don't believe in evil. Our original plan remains unchanged. We kicked him out of Dengzhou in two days and couldn't support him for nothing. Let him be the vanguard. Then I will lead two thousand old eight teams to pursue him from behind. I think of him as a group of mobs, and they are not the opponent of our old eight team. I will bring this head to my elder brother!"
Li Zicheng frowned, and Liu Zongmin said everything that made him feel uncomfortable, but now it was not the time to worry about it, but just pondered: "You have to be careful, there are not many old teams in our eighth team."
"Brother, don't worry!"
Liu Zongmin patted his chest and said, "Two thousand people are enough to use, brother, just wait for my good news!"
Chapter completed!
