Chapter 55 It turns out that the white-eyed wolf is you!
The sailboat sailed on the river. Because it was going upstream, the boat was a little slow. The north wind blew, and the crew drove sails to make sure that the boat could move forward.
In the cabin, the weak Zhang Ying sat half on the couch, drinking meat porridge, and feeding her porridge was his niece.
Li Li sat next to him, looking at the pair of uncles and nephews who were in trouble, remembering the scene of Zhang Ying and several masked people that day, and knowing that the inside story is probably not simple.
After drinking the meat porridge, Zhang Ying said a few words to her niece. The girl took the food box out, and Li Li and Zhang Ying were left in the cabin.
Zhang Ying lay down for two days, and his consciousness was still clear, but he was injured many times and felt a little weak. He was not very energetic until today and couldn't help but thank him at this moment.
Li Li wanted to know this person’s experience very much, but asked: “What are your plans next?”
"I don't know either. I originally wanted to go to Guangling, but it's impossible now." Zhang Ying said slowly, thanking him again: "Thank you for helping you."
Li Li waved his hand: "It's not me who saved you. When I boarded the boat, you brother and sister had already been caught by them... If you don't mind, go to Poyang with me, that's a good place."
"I am a fugitive and committed a major life case..."
"Haha, there are many people in my place who are outlaws, so it's not a big deal." Li Li chuckled softly. After hearing this, Zhang Ying was quite grateful. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
"However, my entourage is all men and no maids. These days, your niece still has to live with you. After all, it is inconvenient for us."
"Thank you for your work!" Zhang Ying struggled to kneel down for Li Li, but was supported by Li Li: "You want to thank me, okay, wait until you recover and teach me "Spring and Autumn Annals"."
"The Spring and Autumn Annals? I think of the book..." Zhang Ying was a little confused, but remembered that he met Li Li in a bookstore that day and bought books, and he bought them the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Three Biography.
"I am just a little bit uninformed, and I am afraid of wasting time in the supervision work."
"You are not talented or knowledgeable?" Li Li smiled and shook his head, "You can give the students to take the exam for the students of the Imperial College, which shows that you have real talent and knowledge. I wonder how many times better than those students of the Imperial College."
After hearing Li Li's praise, Zhang Ying's eyes darkened and he smiled bitterly: "What's the use..."
"Of course it's useful. I'm born with my talent and will be useful!" Li Li quoted a poem, which was the catchphrase he kept encouraging himself to persevere in adversity.
When Zhang Ying heard this, his eyes lit up again: "Superior writing is good!"
"This is someone else's poem, I'm just quoting it."
"I don't know the author of this poem?"
"I don't know, alas, so I want to study..." After Li Li said that, he patted Zhang Ying on the shoulder: "You have a good rest. After all, you have suffered many injuries on your body. It is not easy to survive. Don't get worse."
"Also, don't ask me to supervise the work."
Seeing that Li Li was about to leave, Zhang Ying hurriedly asked, "Li Lang didn't ask me why..."
"Life is not easy, everyone has their own difficulties." Li Li smiled and asked Zhang Ying to lie down and have a good rest.
"Li Lang, I have heard of Li Lang before and admired it..." Zhang Ying said a lot. Seeing that the other party was willing to introduce himself, Li Li sat down and listened with his ears.
Zhang Ying is from Jiankang. His parents died since childhood and was raised by his married sister.
My brother-in-law and brother-in-law were scholars from the Imperial College and were very kind to him. He taught him to read and write, and brought back many books for him to read.
He studied very hard, so he performed much better than his peers. He took advantage of his brother-in-law's position to attend the Imperial College class.
Therefore, before he knew it, Zhang Ying's knowledge grew rapidly, far superior to his peers.
However, his background was slightly cold, so it was impossible for him to study in the Imperial College.
As life goes on, Zhang Ying started to work as a teenager to bookstores and took time to set up stalls to earn money to support himself, without adding burden to his sister or brother-in-law.
However, there was an unexpected situation in the world, and my brother-in-law had an accident: when I was studying in the Imperial College, I accidentally offended the powerful and noble children and was beaten to death.
After enduring for more than half a year, I still couldn't get through it. I passed away, leaving Zhang and her young daughter behind, and still leaving behind the debts owed for the treatment of the disease.
Zhang Ying and his sister Zhang were unable to repay the debt. Later, Zhang was arrested by the creditor to pay off the debt and became a slave to the Linhe Palace. He died soon after.
Some say that he could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide by hanging himself, while others said that he was beaten to death. The grief Zhang Ying went to the public office to file a complaint, but it was useless.
With the help of his neighbors, Zhang Ying pulled his niece to live. Not long after, his niece was snatched away by the creditor and said he wanted to pay off the debt.
In fact, it’s just that this girl looks handsome and needs to be trained as a genius.
Zhang Ying was the only relative of his niece in the world. In order to repay his brother-in-law, his sister pulled him up for his kindness when he grew up, and he had to rescue his niece from the fire pit no matter what.
Moreover, he will avenge his sister and brother-in-law.
Because my brother-in-law was beaten and seriously injured by King Linhe's son, and the creditor was the shopkeeper who lent money to King Linhe, that is, the person who was assassinated by Zhang Ying not long ago.
My sister died when she was a slave to the Linhe Palace. It can be said that the Linhe Palace caused his sister's family to be destroyed.
"I don't know martial arts, so I try my best to make money, save money, hire people to help me kill the dog thief and rescue my niece."
"It's just that it's not easy to escape, but in the end... thanks to Li Lang's rescue..."
"These people are worse than beasts! But I can only kill the shopkeeper and cannot avenge my brother-in-law..."
When Li Li heard this, he felt something in his heart touched again. He rubbed his temples and asked, "Can you tell me the specific situation of this Linhe King?"
"He did everything evil, and the crimes he committed are endless!"
Zhang Ying cursed angrily and said what he knew.
Linhe King Xiao Zhengde was the nephew of today's son. At that time, the emperor was still in the Qiandi Palace and had no son, so he adopted his nephew Xiao Zhengde as his heir.
Later, when the dynasty was about to change, he actually had a son. Xiao Zhengde thought he would be made the crown prince, but he ended up returning to his family.
As a result, he was dissatisfied and even defected to the Northern Territory. As a result, he was unpopular there and came back in shame.
"The emperor has not blamed him for his past and is still willing to do so. He was later named King Linhe, and his actions are still arrogant."
"Wait, what did you say!" Li Li grabbed Zhang Ying's hand, "The emperor's nephew, the one who came back with shamelessness after defecting? King Linhe Xiao Zhengde? Is the ungrateful wolf who opened the door to greet thieves?!"
"What? Open the door to treat thieves?" Zhang Ying felt inexplicable when he heard this. King Linhe Xiao Zhengde did all the bad things, but he never heard of any opening door to treat thieves.
Li Li stood up and walked back and forth, panting, feeling his head swelling.
He remembered it, remembered it!
The reason why the Hou Jing Rebellion became uncontrollable was that when the rebels attacked Jiankang, a high-ranking official responsible for Jiankang's defense rebelled, opened the Jiankang city gate and led Hou Jing's rebels into the city.
Who is that person’s surname? Li Li doesn’t remember, he only remembers that he is the nephew of Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, who once defected to the northern country.
As a result, he couldn't stay in the North and came back with shamelessness. Xiao Yan did not blame him and was still very nice to him.
However, this man was an ungrateful wolf. Facing the rebels attacking Jiankang, he actually opened the door to invite thieves.
Now, when Li Li heard Zhang Ying talk about the bad deeds of King Linhe, he knew who this person was: It turns out that the ungrateful wolf is you, King Linhe Xiao Zhengde!
Then he was furious and rushed upwards: The biggest reason why Hou Jing was able to attack Jiankang was that Xiao Zhengde, a traitor who was responsible for the defense of the capital, was the insider.
Then, then...
If I kill Xiao Zhengde, Hou Jing will lose his inner support in the future, and the rebels will not be able to quickly attack Jiankang, and they will besiege Taicheng, and will be strong under the city. Without food and grass support, they will have to escape in no time.
So, Hou Jing's rebellion might be just a farce?
Thinking of this, Li Li decided not to return to Poyang and to turn around and go to Jiankang.
Do it as soon as you say it, I will let you, a ungrateful wolf, be punished with evil and prevent harming the people of Liang!
