Chapter 174 Trapped in Suspense and Blurred Truth II
"After he escaped, brother, you know what I found," Liu Tang looked at Li Gu seriously.
"What?" Li Gu leaned forward, obviously very concerned.
"I discovered this," Liu Tang said, taking out something from his arms and holding it tightly in his hand. Everyone present looked at it intently, and their expressions changed immediately.
"Isn't this...isn't this a badge of honor for officers and soldiers?" Li Mian lost his voice.
"Let me take a look," Li Gu was very cautious. He immediately took the waist card from Liu Tang's hand and took a closer look in front of him. It was indeed good, but Li Gu saw the clues about the waist card and was shocked. Said: "This is... someone under the elder's command,"
"That's right," Liu Tang nodded and continued: "Bai Lang said before that they came here for the money from the Guanxi Town treasury. Just when he was about to explain the inside story to me one by one, Shi Yong He took action, and he also said, "If I don't kill you, why do you still have to confess my master?" Brother, think about it, he has a badge, he is an officer and soldier under the elder, and his master is the elder. ah,"
"You mean, Jin Sanpang, he is trying to gain money from the treasury," Li Gu said thoughtfully.
"That's it, brother, this kid has always been disobedient to us, Li Fuyang, and has often done some harmful things behind his back." Liu Tang was afraid that Li Gu would relax his vigilance against the elder Jin Sanpang like before, so he said more He added these words in one mouthful.
"He doesn't want to be his elder. Why do you think he wants to take the government's advice? You know, Jin Sanpang is a little greedy. Even if he is a petty official, he is still a member of the imperial court. He knows what he knows best. He knows in his heart that the money can be moved, which pieces of money cannot be moved, and which pieces of money will cost you your head if you move them. I think he definitely won't," Li Gu analyzed it like this and shook his head again.
Liu Tang saw that Li Gu was still speaking for others at this point, and he couldn't help but said anxiously: "If it wasn't him, then why would he send people to our house, why would he kill Bai Lang, and why would there be another wave of officers and soldiers at this time? He pretended to be a soldier from Shaohua Mountain and came to surrender. Brother, normally you would let him and we brothers would listen to you and let them go. We tolerated it, but now is a critical time."
"Then it seems to you that this group of people are all officers and soldiers under Jin Sanpang. They were sent by Jin Sanpang." Seeing that Liu Tang's remonstrance was extremely sincere and urgent, Li Gu had to change his mind and think carefully again. Down.
"That can still be false. I guess that Jin Sanpang is trying to frame his brother as a 'collaborator', so that he can stage a 'kill first and show off later'. Brother, think about it, if you are gone, this county is not He has the final say, so even if the treasury is emptied by him, he can put the blame on you. At that time, the dead can't speak. If there is really no evidence for death, the eldest brother has been charged with corruption again, which makes it more and more obvious. He is a fat hero,” Liu Tang said, becoming more and more anxious, and finally made Li Mian and Aunt Hong present a little nervous.
Li Gu fell silent, thinking to himself that it was indeed possible.
Seeing that Li Gu was silent, Liu Tang was afraid that he still didn't believe it, so he further guided his thoughts and said: "Brother, do you think that Jin Sanpang has no reason to do this? There is no enmity between the two families, but, brother, I thought about this on the way here. Brother, you like to make friends with righteous people in the world. There are many people like us in the world, far more than the soldiers and generals under his elders. This has made him a senior elder. It's very unpopular. Besides, you have a lot of properties, especially Liushui Pavilion and..." As he spoke, Liu Tang looked cautiously and respectfully at Aunt Hong, who was sitting by and listening in rapt attention, and continued: "He Hong. Auntie, the moon here is hazy. That Jin Sanpang must be jealous of our Li family's vast financial resources, and he is also worried that if this situation continues, his position as elder will become a decoration, and his face will no longer be in Guanxi Town. It’s a matter of face,”
When Li Gu heard this, he raised his hand in the air and made a "stop" gesture to stop what Liu Tang was about to say, and said: "I understand..."
When Liu Tang heard this, he immediately felt relieved and said hurriedly: "Where are those people? How did brother arrange it?"
Li Gudao: "I was asked to arrange a 'borrowing shop' in Yue Menglong, this..."
Aunt Hong smiled slightly and said: "This, this, this, this, the matter is almost clear. Shi Jin didn't come at all. We were just being passionate and guessing. Fortunately, I have already given the order and directly executed these officers and soldiers." , completely evaporated from the world, leaving Jin Sanpang speechless."
Li Gu was a little hesitant after hearing this, but still nodded slightly. But as soon as his mind changed, he suddenly remembered something and immediately asked Liu Tangdao: "What about Bailang?"
If it were on a normal day, there would be no need to worry about these miscellaneous issues. Liu Tang would still handle them very cleanly, but now he has to be careful. Any negligence may bring unexpected consequences.
"Everything was done clean. There was no trace of blood. Bailang's body was divided into four parts and handed over to the brothers to feed the dogs. Even if his elders wanted to check, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to find anything from the dog feces," Liu Tang said. It's neat, and it's done very quickly.
Li Gu nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's good." After that, Li Gu picked up the wine glass, raised his neck and drank the wine through his intestines. Li Gu slowly put the wine glass down and looked at the table blankly. At one point, he couldn't help but sigh: "Let me just say, how could such a big man as Shi Jin be willing to bring so many people to surrender me? Who am I, Li, to have such a big reputation..."
Li Yan could hear the frustration in Li Gu's words, so he said calmly: "Brother, don't think like that. Fortunately, it's not Shi Jin who came here, so we can clean up this mess."
Li Gu nodded, sighed and said: "What my second brother said is that if Shi Jin really thought he was such a bearded man, he would have made things difficult for me. It would be better if he didn't come, it would be better if he didn't come..."
Although Li Gu kept saying that it was better not to come, both Li Yan and Aunt Hong could tell that Li Gu really hoped that Shi Jin could come. This was not vanity, but that Li Gu really longed for some kind of world.
Just in this quiet moment, the three "Dangdang Dang" sound, followed by the sound of Dong Ling's words on the door outside: "Lord, the person of the Li family," came, "
Aunt Hong glanced at Li Gu with a smile, and the master said, "Then invite him in to talk,"
Then, there was a creaking door, and a young man rushed into the room. Liu Tang looked at the pace of his walking and knew that this young man must have rushed back from outside, otherwise he would not be in such a tired state. Seeing this man walking a few steps quickly, he stood behind Li Gu and bent down to whisper to Li Gu. Li Gu waved his hand and said, "Just tell me."
"Yes," the young man made a salute, then stood in front of everyone and said, "I followed the instructions of the adults and went to Huayin County. I am the third head of Shaohua Mountain..."
"Chen Da, the jumping tiger," Aunt Hong interjected.
"Exactly, this hero,"
Li Gu looked at Aunt Hong and said, "You know him,"
Aunt Hong felt embarrassed when she was asked this question, so she smiled slightly and said: "It's all in the past. Before I came to join you, I was rescued by him when I was passing by Shaohua Mountain. We can be considered acquaintances. It's just that , I haven’t seen each other for some years,”
When the reporter saw that Aunt Hong had finished speaking and everyone was silent, he knew it was his turn to continue, so he said: "Chen Da said that as early as the afternoon, Shi Jin had come to our Guanxi Town alone. "
"Shi came in," Li Gu was a little surprised.
"Coming alone," Aunt Hong was also a little surprised. This Shi Jin had just conquered Huayin County and was considered a "high and powerful" person in Shaohua Mountain. He was really a strange man to dare to come alone.
The messenger repeated again: "That's right, I came here as early as the afternoon, just one person."
"So where is Shi Jin now?" Li Gu's voice was trembling, and he felt a little more anxious.
Everyone also followed Li Gu into this problem, and couldn't help but feel anxious secretly.
At this moment, Liu Tang slapped his thigh and said: "No wonder, that Jin Sanpang hasn't sent any officers and soldiers to Yue Hazy until now. He must have found a new way."
This sentence was a ground-breaking shock, making everyone feel like they were waking up from a dream. Li Gu furrowed his brows in vain and said anxiously: "You mean, Shi Jin was killed on the way..."
Liu Tang nodded and said, "I'm afraid that Shi Jin will be arrested by Jin Sanpang as soon as he enters Guanxi Town."
This was another ground-breaking sentence. What Liu Tang said today was so shocking that Li Gu became more and more frightened as he listened. Li Gu frowned and thought about it carefully. If Liu Tang's guess was wrong, then Shi Jin came alone in the afternoon. It was impossible not to be here at this moment, and it was impossible for him not to have any news. If the facts were as Liu Tang said, then the situation would be dire. Then the chief security officer might behead Shi Jin, and then Dedicate it to Tokyo to claim credit.
What should we do...Li Gu couldn't help but feel anxious as he thought.
"Brother, without further ado, let's call all the brothers together and find that Jin Sanpang to ask for someone," Li Mian thought for a moment and said word by word. It seemed that he had made up his mind.
"Do you know how much gold Shi Jin is worth now? If we want it like this, he, Jin Sanpang, is such an easy talker. How could he give up his great future in vain?" Li Gu paused and said, "Such a straightforward person." It’s absolutely impossible to go straight to ask for someone,”
"Then what should we do?" Li Mian had already thought about it, but when his elder brother said this, he seemed to have the same idea and suddenly lost his mind.
Li Gu fell silent, and began to make a last-minute decision in his mind, whether to choose the Song Dynasty or to seek refuge in Shaohua Mountain. In one thought, he didn't know how many brothers would change their future destiny. This is definitely not a trivial matter. Li Gu's brows frowned even more tightly. , the whole room was surrounded by terrifying silence, and all eyes fell on Li Gu...
