I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"Looking at today's style, it seems that he has military merits?"

"You don't know yet?"

"The "Beijing News" has his name on it. I heard that he is still in Beijing. I don't know if it is true or not!"

"And Li Guo is back, their uncle and nephew are quite promising!"

"That's right, smoke is rising from the grave of Old Li's family!"

The Lijiazhai was only that big, and Li Hongji rode on the horse, chatting with these relatives and friends who looked down on him in the past while walking.

Soon, he came to his house.

He didn't know that there were two people entangled in the room at the moment. Gai Hu was lying on the couch, with one arm around Han Jin'er, and said:

"In two years' time, I will marry you."

Han Jin'er nodded first, then said with his hands:

"Let's wait a little longer. There is no definite news about the person surnamed Li. Right now, the imperial court's compensation for the wives and children of officers and soldiers who died in battle is very generous. Have you reported it?"

"Why would I delay such a good thing? I reported it to the county government half a month ago!" Gai Hu stretched his big hand under the quilt to caress Han Jin'er's body, and snorted coldly:

"The one surnamed Li is doing it for himself. Instead of doing a good job at the post station, he insists on serving as a soldier."

"Dying on the battlefield now will save both of us."

Han Jin'er didn't seem to have any feelings for Li Hongji, and said with a smile:

"Well, when the government's pension is issued, we will leave Lijiazhai and take the money to enjoy the blessings in the south of the Yangtze River. There are beautiful mountains and rivers. I haven't been there yet."

Gai Hu nodded, but said nothing.

This stinky bitch, she doesn't look very good, but she's pretty stinky, so when the money comes down, what's your business?

When the time comes, your grandpa Gaihu will take the money and go to Jiangnan to be a handsome man, so you can stay here and be a widow for Li Hongji!

Gai Hu was making wishful thinking, but at this moment, the door of the room opened suddenly, and there was a sound of horseshoes coming from outside...

When Li Hongji entered the door, he realized that something was wrong.

The light in the room was dim, but he could still see clearly. Apart from Han Jiner's small shoes he was familiar with, there was also a man's big straw sandals beside the stove.

"Who?"

While he was yelling, Li Guo had already quietly pulled out the knife.

"It's Gaihu."

"How do you know?" Li Hongji turned around in astonishment.

Li Guo looked straight at him and sneered:

"Gai Hu and Han Jin'er have been committing adultery for many years, and it's spread all over Li's village! Only you don't know..."

"What..." Li Hongji said in a daze, "That's why you keep asking me to leave Lijiazhai...?"

Li Guo nodded, noncommittal.

"I went in and chopped up the adulterer and adulteress!"

"and many more--!"

"uncle?"

It seemed that they heard the two talking, and there was a commotion in the room, and the sound of men and women sitting up and getting dressed in panic came out.

Li Hongji walked in step by step, the smile on his face had disappeared, the more he went in, the more he couldn't believe it was true.

His wife actually committed adultery with the best brother in his inn!

Gai Hu had already put on his coat at this moment, he looked at the two uncles and nephews who entered the door, fumbled on the couch for the weapon in his hand, and said in panic:

"Li Hongji, you, aren't you dead?"

Seeing Li Guo with a knife behind him, and the uniforms of Ningxia officers and soldiers on both of them, Han Jin'er seemed to understand something, and said hastily:

"You really came back after meritorious service..."

"Listen to my explanation!"

Compared with Li Guo, who was full of murderous looks, Li Hongji didn't draw his sword now, and his face was expressionless, appearing extremely calm.

He squatted on the side of the couch, covered Han Jin'er's body with his clothes, and said:

"After following me for so many years, I haven't enjoyed the good life. Instead, I owe a lot of debts. It's hard for you."

"I made great contributions with the supervisor in the First Battle of Hetao, and now I am the commander-in-chief of the Ningxia army. His Majesty also called me into the palace and rewarded me."

"Look, I bought you a lot of good things for you to enjoy, and brought them back..." Li Hongji looked at Han Jin'er's face with tenderness.

But Han Jin'er couldn't be moved. The more abnormal he is now, the more frightening he is.

She knows Li Hongji's character best.

It can only be said that under his calm appearance now, there is a chilling anger and hatred.

"Mr. Qian..." Gai Hu trembled even more when he heard this, "You are Mr. Qian now?!"

Officers at Mr. Qian's level can't go up or down. In some places, they can even serve as military chiefs, and they are only one step away from guerrilla generals who can sit in their jurisdictions.

As far as Gai Hu was concerned, Li Hongji had been away for three years, and when he came back, he couldn't afford to provoke him.

Chapter 574 Killing with King's Law

"Don't worry, I will let you enjoy the blessings in the future." Li Hongji ignored Gaihu and stood up after speaking to Han Jin'er himself, and said calmly:

"You go."

"Uncle!" The knife in Li Guo's hand almost fell to the ground, and he looked shocked: "Why did you let them go? You want me to chop off this shameless pair!"

"Why, don't you even listen to me?"

Li Hongji turned his head back lightly, Li Guo was stunned when he saw this, put away his knife unwillingly, and stepped aside from the door.

"Why let them go?"

Li Hongji looked at the backs of the two men supporting each other with disheveled clothes, and said with a smile, "They violated the king's law. If I don't kill them, they won't be able to escape from Mizhi County."

"Killing this kind of people dirty my hands, I have my own way to deal with them."

"But..." Li Guo still sighed, "This Gaihu has been playing you for a fool the past few years, and Han Jin'er, who knew about this, yet got along with him."

"If I don't cut them off with my own hands, I won't be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

Li Hongji replied indifferently: "Don't worry, Gai Hu and Han Jin'er, they will be ten thousand times uglier than death."

……

"Ai Juren."

For Li Hongji, this home has no meaning of going back, and now his concern is in a small tavern next to the Yongding Gate in the capital.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

After knocking for a long time, but there was no movement, Li Hongji shouted patiently:

"Old Ai, I have made military exploits and returned to pay back the money."

At this time, a rough-looking black-faced man came over and said plainly: "Ai Juren went to the Southwest to give lectures, and by June this year, he should be back in two years."

"He actually went to the southwest?" Li Guo asked.

Seeing Li Guo, the black-faced man was stunned: "Li Jin, why is it you, you didn't die in the Ningxia army?"

As if remembering something, he turned his head and looked with shock on his face:

"Brother, you are back too, you are all back, I thought you were killed in battle!"

Li Guo didn't recognize him at first, but after a closer look, he realized who this person was.

He rushed forward and hugged the black-faced man, and said with a big laugh, "Brother Zongmin! What are you doing in Lijiazhai?"

"By the way, my name is Li Guo now, not Li Jin."

"Uncle, look who has come to Li's village!"

"All right, all right, I'll be surnamed Li, nothing else is my business!" Liu Zongmin also laughed, patted Li Guo on the shoulder, looked at Li Hongji, and said:

"Gaihu reported to the county government, saying that you all died in the Ningxia army, and asked for the imperial court's reward for Han Jin'er. I will come and pay homage to you."

"This thing is inferior to pigs and dogs!" Li Guo clenched his fists.

Liu Zongmin also showed hatred in his eyes, and said coldly: "I came here this time to kill the beast Gaihu!"

"I didn't expect that, hahaha..."

Li Hongji smiled all over his face, and when he heard this, the smile on his face stagnated, and he said, "You also knew about this a long time ago?"

"what's up?"

Liu Zongmin was taken aback at first, but when he saw Li Guo's expression, he suddenly realized:

"Brother, you can't blame me, brother, we have reminded you many times, but you just can't see it..."

"Okay, let's meet brothers, let's not talk about this."

Li Hongji comforted Liu Zongmin and said:

"Gai Hu and Han Jin'er have already been let go, but they can't get out of Mizhi County yet, so we'll go to the county government to sue the officials."

Liu Zongmin grabbed him and reminded:

"Brother, that dog official Yan Zibin has always looked down on our brother, can he take care of our affairs?"

Hearing this, Li Guo patted the armor on his body, the leaves of the iron armor intersected, and there were several crisp sounds of "bang bang".

"Don't allow him to refuse. We have military merits now. My uncle is now the commander-in-chief of the Ningxia Army. Even His Majesty has summoned him."

"Gai Hu said we were dead, and he wanted to lie to the imperial court about the compensation. As long as we stand above the county government, everything will be settled."

This is what Li Hongji was thinking, he looked him up and down, and asked:

"What are your plans for the future?"

Liu Zongmin shook his head and said with a smile:

"I originally planned to kill Gai Hu and then go up the mountain and fall grass. If you live for a few days, it counts as a few days. Now that you are back, Gai Hu will be dealt with by the government. There is really nothing to do."

"Join the army!" Li Hongji said as he walked:

"Follow us to Ningxia. The commander-in-chief is Wang Rujin. He is a very nice person. When you get there, you will be of great use."

Liu Zongmin rolled his eyes, nodded and said:

"That's fine! You two are also here. I'm gone, and you can take care of each other. You are really promising now!"

"Tell me, what happened all these years?"

Li Hongji smiled, looked to one side, and said, "Let Li Guo tell you, let's go to the county government office and talk as we go."

Li Guo couldn't bear it long ago, and followed Liu Zongmin, adding fuel to the meal.

"The two of us first joined the army under the tent of Marshal Wang. I only served as a soldier. My uncle is a tall man, so he was a good seed at first glance, so he directly entered the family team."

"Then, we followed the Ningxia army to fight left and right until last year when the Western captives invaded the country, the opportunity came..."

The three of them walked while talking, Mizhi County is not very big, so they came to the county government soon.

As the New Year's Eve approached, most of the official servants of the county government were also on vacation, and only a few or five people guarded the door.

"Who is it?" Seeing that someone was coming, it didn't seem like a good deal, an officer hesitated, but still came to ask.

Li Hongji stepped forward and said politely:

"Li Hongji, a native of the Li family village, is now the head of the Youfeng Battalion Qian Qian under the command of Commander Wang Rujin of Ningxia. Please see the county lord if you have anything to do."

After listening, the guard quickly lowered his posture:

"It turns out that Mr. Li Qian is here. I'm going to report to the county lord right now."

Mizhi County is not a big place, and the highest military officer in charge of the garrison here is actually a general.

Li Hongji is the commander-in-chief of the frontier army commander. In fact, his development prospects are much broader than those of the commander-in-chief stationed in the local area.

The status is different, but it's no wonder the guard suddenly became so respectful.
