Chapter 53
"What? You want to kill someone and silence me! Can you kill me?" Using force if you can't keep up with your words is a routine routine. This is true from shrews fighting on the street to wars between two countries.
Routines! They are everywhere!
Li Xiao pulled out his revolver, raised his hand and fired at a big man.
The bullet drilled a bloody hole in the big man's leg. Li Xiao didn't want to kill anyone, he just wanted to shock these people. Otherwise, the bullet should have knocked over his Tianling Gael.
"You! You are brave!" Zhao Nanxing saw that Li Xiao dared to hurt someone in his house, and immediately pointed at Li Xiao and shouted.
However, when he saw Li Xiao pointing the revolver at him, Zhao Nanxing couldn't help but take a step back. Almost at the same time as Zhao Nanxing stepped back, Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian stood in front of Zhao Nanxing.
"It's not up to you to decide whether you are bold or not. I have seen thousands of dead people in Liaodong. Naturally, I am a little bolder. If someone is going to die today, I will naturally have to pull a few people to support me. Now, I and my family
Adult, just go out. If you have the guts, send someone to stop you. Let's agree first, this gun is a continuous fire, and it will be no problem to kill more than a dozen people."
"Can't let him out!" Li Sancai pointed at Li Xiao with trembling fingers. Seeing Li Xiao walking out of the door step by step, he thought that his reputation would be ruined. Li Sancai felt a tightness in his chest, a black eye, a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of old blood.
Just sprayed it out!
"Mr. Shugo!"
"gentlemen!"
"Come here, please call the doctor!"
Zhao Nanxing's Shangshu Mansion was in chaos!
"Although I got angry today, I've also caused a lot of trouble. No matter what! Damn it, if you dare to say that to me, I'll never see you again." After all, Mao Wenlong is timid and fearful. Seeing that the trouble has reached this level, he feels a little scared.
But thinking about Li Sancai talking about him like that, I felt extremely angry.
With a gun in his waist, Li Xiao was naturally not afraid of those servants. Even if there were martial arts masters among them, Li Xiao would not believe in such a fantasy as someone catching bullets with bare hands.
After leaving the door and getting on the carriage, Li Xiao and the others returned to the post house.
At this time, Li Xiao wanted to run away. Although Mao Wenlong was the commander-in-chief of the town, he was not as powerful as Zhao Nanxing, not to mention that this old guy was one of the three elders of Donglin. If he offended him, he would have to be punished.
You can't spray the officials into a sieve. If you don't run away now, it will be too late by the time the Jin Yiwei comes to arrest you.
Before I could tell Lao Ao to gather his men and run away, the Jin Yiwei arrived, and there were several of them. They were all high-ranking officials!
Jinyiwei commander Cui Yingyuan!
Jinyiweidu commanded Xu Xianchun!
The Jinyi Guard Commander Tian Ergeng is in charge of the Jinyi Guards!
There was also a man wearing Dongchang Fanzi clothing. Upon inquiry, he turned out to be Sun Yunhe, the manager and criminal officer of Dongchang.
Ordinarily, although Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of the town, has a high level, he doesn't need such a big battle to arrest people. This lineup is enough for Jin Yiwei to hold a standing committee meeting.
What's more, there are people from Dongchang here. Could it be said that Dongchang is also involved in this matter? Dongchang is Wei Zhongxian's territory. Could it be that Wei Zhongxian is going to stand up for the Donglin Party this time. Use his own head to let the Donglin Party know.
His kindness?
Such a large and luxurious arresting team made Li Xiao's persecution paranoia explode wildly. His mind was filled with thoughts about whether he should draw out his gun and kill these senior Jinyiwei officials first. Or take these guys as hostages.
Prepare yourself for running away.
"Hahaha! This must be General Mao, who serves as the commander of the Jinyi Guards in Xiatian Ergen. Thanks to His Majesty's trust, he is in charge of the Jinyi Guards." Tian Ergen bowed his hand to Mao Wenlong very politely.
Although Tian Ergen is not as good as Mao Wenlong in terms of official position, he is the commander of the Imperial Guards who holds real power. He is more than 800 times more powerful than Mao Wenlong, an empty-handed general. Logically speaking, Tian Ergen should glare at Mao Wenlong with his nostrils at this time.
.
"It turns out to be Mr. Tian. Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you! I wonder what Mr. Tian has come to ask for?" Mao Wenlong was also a little confused. He didn't understand how the leader of the Jinyiwei sneaked into him.
"Hahaha! Mr. Mao, don't panic. The matter with Mr. Zhao will be decided by His Majesty. You are the commander-in-chief of Liaodong with military honors. If anyone dares to touch you without the holy orders, you must first ask us whether Jin Yiwei agrees.
." Tian Ergen slapped his chest like a gorilla.
"Yes! Anyone who wants to arrest someone in the capital must first ask our Jin Yiwei." Xu Xianchun, a tall man, shouted loudly. While speaking loudly, he looked at the servants of the post house who were watching.
Li Xiao was even more confused. Hearing what the Jin Yiwei meant...! It seemed that the Jin Yiwei were here to stand up for him, and this was a big joke. The Donglin Party, which he considered a positive figure, would curse people when he opened his mouth. He thought it was so bad that he could bubble up.
Wei Zhongxian actually sent someone to protect him.
This couldn't be a dream! He pinched his thigh hard. Amidst Li Hu's howling, Li Xiao decided that this was not a dream.
"Uh...! Thank you so many adults, Wenlong is neglectful! Please! Please come inside! Come and serve tea!" After all, Mao Wenlong is still an old official. After hearing the assurances of several people, he first came out of his dazed state.
Wake up.
"Please! Please come inside!" Li Xiao also understood at this time, and everyone was still in the yard after talking for a long time. It was still quite cold outside in the spring when it was warm and cold.
"I don't need tea. I heard that General Mao has good wine here. He almost drank General Zu of Shanhaiguan to death. Can you get some and give them to the subordinates to try?" Xu Xianchun sat down with a sharp smile and said to him with a smile.
Mao Wenlong wants wine. He is so open-minded!
"That's right! We are all brothers in the army. If you have good wine, don't keep it secret! I heard Xiaoqi from Shanhaiguan say that when the wine is opened, the aroma will overflow. General Mao, please don't fool us brothers with bad wine.
"Cui Yingyuan was playing drums on the side.
"Hahaha! It goes without saying that since we are brothers in the army, we naturally want to have a drink. I will order someone to prepare a few dishes. If you want to drink, I, Old Ao, will accompany you." After all, Xu Xianchun and Cui Yingyuan were born as soldiers.
With just a few words, he gained Master Ao's favor.
"This must be Mr. Ao. I heard that you showed great power in Liaodong! No, since we are brothers in the army, we have decided to drink this meal. We just want to see who gets down first in a while."
"A man in the army is a cool man. I didn't say it before. Ai Hu asked you to prepare a table full of good food and wine for me. I, Lao Ao, and all the brothers will not come back until they are drunk today!"
Ai Husheng glanced at Li Xiao, and when he saw Li Xiao nodded, he immediately went out to prepare a banquet.
Tian Ergeng sat in the host and guest seats and did not speak, but looked at several people in the hall.
Many years of career as a royal guard have long since sharpened him into a human spirit. Logically speaking, Mao Wenlong should be the biggest official in this hall, but Ao Canghai dared to serve wine and entertain guests without asking Mao Wenlong. This shows that Ao Canghai is not like a bird.
Mao Wenlong, if he had such a captain under his command, he would have taken him out, chopped him up and fed him to the dogs.
The steward named Ai didn't move after hearing Ao Canghai's instructions. Instead, he glanced at the young man and saw him nodding before going out to prepare a banquet. In other words, the young man was actually the one who had the final say here.
.It seems that Shanhaiguan Xiaoqi’s report is correct.
It's just a little strange. Mao Wenlong is so scheming, and Ao Canghai is also a fierce person. Why are you willing to listen to a young man? Is there anything special about this kid?
"What do you call this little brother?" Tian Ergen smiled and looked at Li Xiao, who was standing next to Mao Wenlong, with a kind attitude like an uncle next door.
"My Excellency Li Xiao, I have just been promoted by the emperor to be the commander-in-chief."
"Dare you ask me your age?"
"You will be seventeen after this year!"
"A seventeen-year-old seventh-rank official, a promising young man! A promising young man! At your age, I don't have such a blessing. Have you gotten engaged?"
"Uh...! The official is already engaged, oh! The official is going to help prepare the banquet. Please forgive me!" Li Xiao hurriedly found an excuse to escape. This was the rhythm of introducing someone to himself.
"Haha! Young man, you are thin-skinned. Don't blame Mr. Tian!" Mao Wenlong smiled and smoothed things over.
"What a young hero! Haha! Oh, that's right! I almost forgot about the real thing during this delay. Here is a little thought from the factory owner Wei Eunuch. You are new to the capital and don't know how expensive rice is in the capital. Give these money to the brothers below.
Eat something good, so as not to say that our colleagues in the capital have treated heroes lightly." When Tian Ergeng said this, Xu Xianchun immediately took out a small package from his arms.
I poured it onto the table with a splash, and it immediately sparkled with gold. It turned out to be a small bag of golden melon seeds!
"This...! This is too heavy!" Mao Wenlong was too frightened to accept it.
"You dare not accept the reward from the factory official?" Xu Xianchun's voice immediately changed when he saw Mao Wenlong resisting. Sun Yunhe and Cui Yingyuan also stood up.
"Since it is a reward from the factory official, it is natural to accept it. After Mao has settled down, he will come to pay homage to the factory official." Mao Wenlong knew that Jin Yiwei was not easy to mess with, and Dongchang's fans were even more difficult to mess with. It was better to accept it first!
"Tomorrow, Mr. Cui, the minister of Taipu Temple, will treat you to a guest. I heard that he is friends with your uncle, Mr. Shen, and I came here today to ask the official to send an invitation. I will definitely reward you tomorrow. You, the great hero who conquered Liaodong, will be present, which will make Mr. Cui look good.
Big increase. General Mao will not fail to appreciate this face!" Seeing Mao Wenlong's golden melon seeds, Tian Ergen smiled and said the second purpose of the trip.
"Uh...!" Mao Wenlong felt bitter in his heart. He asked the girl to get the key, but he couldn't be the master of this house. He wanted to see what Li Xiao meant, but Li Xiao had just been run away by Tian Ergen.
"What? General Mao is in trouble?"
"No! It's not difficult! Since Lord Cui and Mao's uncle are friends, Wen Long should still pay him a visit."
"That's good. I'll be waiting for you at Cui Mansion tomorrow evening at Unity Time. Oh, General Mao has not been in the capital for a long time, so the roads are inevitably unfamiliar. In this way, Xianchun, you have worked hard. Come and pick up General Mao tomorrow afternoon!"
"promise!"
Xu Xianchun stood up and performed a military salute in an upright manner.
