Chapter 44: The Murdered Truth and Interest Conspiracy

The Sijiu Hall is actually not in the capital city, it is nothing in the capital city, the capital city has been divided up by various wealthy and aristocratic families, there is no room for a small gang to run wild in the capital city.But in terms of water transport in the Huaixing area of ​​Guangling, Sijiutang is a light-weight existence, and the governors of Liangjiang have to sell face to it.Because the Sijiutang tree is deeply rooted and intricate, and it affects the whole body when it is pulled, the emperor endured and endured, allowing the Sijiutang to still exist. to eradicate.

Li Jingchen knew that the drought and flood in the Jianghan area had affected the Jiangnan area in the past few years. During the disaster relief, Sijiutang blocked it, and some officials neglected their duties. A bloody storm brought by Qi Chengxuan even cast a layer on the disaster. color.Putting these aside for the time being, Li Jingchen didn't expect that he would meet someone from Sijiutang a few years ago, even though he washed his hands in a golden basin and retired to the world.

However, how could he retreat as soon as he entered that kind of place? Sijiutang would become his nightmare, and he would follow him like a shadow.

The acquaintance between Wu Xingde and this person can be regarded as acquaintance. Ten years ago, Wu Xingde, who was only [-] or [-] years old at the time, escaped because he had no father or mother and suffered harsh treatment from his uncle's family. It's just an ordinary bastard. He said he joined a gang, but he was just a small gang on the street. He even had to look at people for a protection fee. Get a round belly, no longer have to suffer from hunger.

One day when he was wandering in the street, Wu Xingde met this person, and the fight was fierce. The person was older than Wu Xingde but he didn't get any benefits, so Wu Xingde fired him. The fight was caught and locked in a prison cell. The friendship between men was confusing, and the friendship between life and death came out, and the friendship between life and death came out. Since then, they have become best friends.

"I'm ashamed to say that at that time it was just a fight over the last meat bun. No one would let anyone else go. Now that I think about it, it's just a youthful spirit, but it's worth it for a life-and-death friend." Wu Xingde laughed He introduced the helper he found, and said more intentionally to make a good impression in front of Li Jingchen, "The man's surname is Liang, and everyone calls him Liang Da. He is capable and loyal, but he is not reckless. I am now No matter how much you talk about, the young master will know when he sees it. Liang Da is a good person. I also offended people, and I got tired of licking blood with knives too much, so I started thinking about quitting. Does the young master know what price people in the gang will have to pay if they want to quit?"

Li Jingchen shook his head. Although what Wu Xingde said was simple, he had already pictured in his mind a burly man with a big shoulder and a round waist, with a beard, a loud voice, and dark skin. He might be missing an arm or a broken leg. A tough and reckless man.

"There are rumors in the Tao that you need three knives and six holes to escape from Sijiutang." Wu Xingde gestured at his body, and the three knives went down and passed through each other, one can imagine how cruel it was.

The so-called three knives and six holes are piercing three holes in one's body with a sharp blade, which is a kind of self-punishment second only to suicide. Well, not everyone can survive the punishment of three swords and six holes, and not everyone has the perseverance to open a hole in their body, and there are more than one.Li Jingchen became more and more curious about Liang Da.

After talking about Liang Da, Wu Xingde's expression became serious, with an uncontrollable anger under his seriousness, "Master, Shi Zhongmou has signed and pledged, and their death was caused by them alone." Wu Xingde took out a confession from his bosom Pass it to Li Jingchen.

Li Jingchen originally thought that when he saw this confession, he would be angry and nervous, and maybe his hands would tremble because of the excitement, but he was wrong, he was very calm, without any ups and downs in his heart, and was completely silent.Opened the confession, it wrote Shi Zhongmou's life in detail, when he became a boy at a young age, he passed the examination as a scholar in the next year, and then he failed in many tests, he was frustrated and wandered in the brothel Chuguan, and wrote a few poems thinking he was romantic The sour poems that hurt the spring and the autumn, and sigh when you don't wait for me, met Li Lihong in the brothel in the ninth year of Qingli.

Shi Zhongmou gave him his sister, who became one of Li Lihong's many aunts and concubines.Shi Zhongmou was good at finding his own way and doing what he liked, and he soon gained Li Lihong's attention. In the same year, Li Lihong recommended him to Li Renyuan, and he served as an assistant to Li Renyuan for a period of time, and he was quite valued.

Later, because Sheng Guogong lacked counselors who were good at making suggestions and eloquence, Li Renyuan recommended Shi Zhongmou to Sheng Guogong.Although Shi Zhongmou failed in many trials, he has already learned the full level of his ability to do what he likes and flatter others, and he has also shined brilliantly by Duke Sheng's side.

In the tenth year of Qingli, the Yanshan Pass in the northwest was at war, and the northwest frontier was where the power of Duke Sheng was located. This battle should be fought by Duke Sheng, but the emperor ordered Li Wenyu.Li Wenyu has been stationed in Yanshan Pass for many years, and his performance is remarkable, and he is convincing as an official and a person. He has a detached position in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of Yanshan Pass. If he wins this battle again, Duke Sheng's authority in the northwest frontier will be greatly reduced. been greatly challenged.Sheng Guogong has been enjoying himself for many years, and it is impossible for him to go into battle, and there are few people under him who can compare with Li Wenyu.Sheng Guogong became murderous, but he was eager to love talents. He sent people to contact Li Wenyu many times in an attempt to persuade Li Wenyu to vote for him, but Li Wenyu was loyal to the emperor and did not bow down to Sheng Guogong.

At the end of the tenth year of Qingli, the frontline battles were tight and there was a shortage of food and supplies.Several parties in the court fought, and no one was convinced. In the end, I don’t know who proposed to let the eldest prince Qi Hongzhi take on this important task. The current emperor can be said to be a wise king, but he is not strong. In the contest with powerful officials, he always chooses gentle means. It was the same this time, the emperor compromised and appointed the eldest prince Qi Hongzhi.

Sheng Guogong took this opportunity to regain his authority in the northwest, and asked Shi Zhongmou to bring his own letter to persuade Li Wenyu for the last time, and if he failed, he would kill him.Therefore, Shi Zhongmou went to the side of the eldest prince Qi Hongzhi, one person and four masters, which can be regarded as a legend.

This passage in Shi Zhongmou's confession is very detailed. It can be seen that this experience has had a great impact on him, and it has already left a deep imprint on his heart, and the memories become more and more detailed.

After Shi Zhongmou came to Yanshan Pass in the northwest, he met Li Wenyu under the guise of Li Renyuan, and looked at Li Wenyu with the face of an envoy of Sheng Kingdom, talking about the benefits of becoming a Duke of Sheng.The implementation of Zhongmou is not considered to be in the name of Li Renyuan. Before he went to Yanshan Pass, Li Renyuan communicated with him. Because Li Renyuan helped Shi Zhongmou, he had a chance to soar. I am grateful, because of this, Li Renyuan will give Shi Zhongmou first consideration when he says anything.In the letter, Li Renyuan criticized Li Wenyu for nothing, and finally said that this person should not be conspired with, but should be eliminated.

Because of Li Renyuan, and because of Li Wenyu's repeated refutation of Duke Sheng's good intentions, in Shi Zhongmou's mind, Li Wenyu had already been given the impression that he was not easy to get along with, and he had long since had murderous intentions.When Shi Zhongmou was kicked out of the Li family's mansion, Shi Zhongmou became even more determined.

What happened later, Li Jingchen already knew almost everything. Jin Wang was greedy for merit, but failed to command. Shi Zhongmou gave Jin Wang an idea to let you put the blame on Li Wenyu. Li Wenyu refused to accept it, so he killed him.

Wu Xingde always pays attention to Li Jingchen's expression, but Li Jingchen always has a calm face, which is so calm that people are afraid. "...Young Master" Wu Xingde said hesitantly, but he didn't know what to say next.

Li Jingchen sighed, folded up the confession and put it in his arms, "Uncle Xingde, call me when you get there, I'll stay here for a while."

Seeing Li Jingchen like this, Wu Xingde inexplicably thought of the word vicissitudes, his heart felt sour, his eyes were astringent, he turned his head and answered in a buzzing voice, "Okay, young master."

Li Jingchen leaned on the car with his arms folded, huddled in a corner of the car, tilted his neck, looking a little fragile, and the blurred light on his body made him look unreal.The wheels ran over a stone, bumped a bit, the curtains rattled and swayed, and the ice basin in the corner of the car jumped twice, and then the car returned to a stable state. With just such an effort, the bleak feeling that had been condensed in the car disappeared immediately. Li Jingchen, who was leaning against a corner of the car with his arms folded, also became strong, not vulnerable at all, because the car curtain was lifted and the light shone directly on his body, adding a layer of fluffy light edges to him, so delicate The beautiful young man looks even better.

Just like the changes in the carriage, Li Jingchen's originally chaotic heart returned to calm, a grassland was born in the field of his heart, there were groups of cattle and sheep grazing leisurely, and a horse galloped from far to near , the figure on the horse was blurred, and when he looked closely, Li Jingchen was woken up by Wu Xingde.

Just for a while on the road, Li Jingchen fell asleep and had a short dream. The vast grassland in the dream made him suddenly enlightened.

"Master, the place is here, let's change clothes first, and the ground is a bit messy." Wu Xingde opened the corner of the curtain and looked around. There was no one outside the car, but he knew that there were many eyes peeping behind the windows and doors. watching them.

The carriage they used was a simple green-draped carriage, which looked a bit crude, without any identity symbol, very ordinary.

Li Jingchen changed into a suit of clothes according to his words, blue-gray shorts, the material is coarse linen, and it is slightly uncomfortable to wear on the body, but the workmanship is very careful, Li Jingchen knows at a glance that it is Li's craftsmanship, the clothes on his body Many of them are from Li's hands.

The place they went to was Maoer Hutong in Dongxingfang on the west side of the capital, that is, on the west side of the Baihe River. Common people and merchants gathered on the west side of the capital, and Maoer Hutong was considered to be a slum-like existence. There are three religions and nine streams in it, and good and bad are mixed. Every day, some people quietly appear and some disappear silently.This is the most chaotic place in the capital, but it is also a place where there is nothing to do. They are all arrested and eaten in prison.

Liang Da lived here. After arresting Shi Zhongmou, there was no safer and more reliable place, so he was arrested here.There is a small yard in front of two or three low-rise houses. It looks broken but it is very clean. There should be a hardworking mistress in the house.

Li Jingchen quickly changed his clothes and came out. Standing in the dilapidated Mao'er alley, he looked a little out of place. Li Jingchen had a natural elegance and grace, and this Mao'er alley was full of people from the bottom of society. The hardships and toils of life are engraved layer by layer.Li Jingchen's appearance is like an elegant white swan appearing among a group of ducks, it's no wonder that it doesn't attract attention, Wu Xingde also discovered this and quickly let Li Jingchen in, while he stood at the gate of the courtyard and walked around, bleeding His chilling gaze made people feel terrified, and he stared back at all the malicious gazes.

In the courtyard, Liang Da had been waiting outside early, and when he saw Li Jingchen coming in, he greeted him. Wu Xingde came in at this time and quickly introduced, "Master, this is Liang Da."

Contrary to Li Jingchen's imagination, Liang Da is not tall and brash and sweaty. He looks like an ordinary person. He is about 30 years old, with a Chinese character face, ordinary appearance, and wheat-colored skin. Because of the hot weather, his upper body is only wearing a suit. The gown, the gown is open, you can see the tight texture inside, and you can also see the deep scars that cannot be erased with the passage of time.Three hole-like scars and a half-arm-long hideous wound are clearly visible on the chest. One can imagine how hideous this wound was when it was just born.

Under the thick black eyebrows are a pair of piercing eyes, exuding a sense of righteousness.

Li Jingchen made a preliminary judgment that this is a bloody man.

Liang Da bowed deeply, "Liang Da has seen the young master."

"Please get up." Li Jingchen was vain. From Wu Xingde's previous words, he already knew that Liang Da intended to take refuge in him. After seeing the real person, Li Jingchen felt that Liang Dahui was a trustworthy subordinate. The premise was that he could make Liang Da convince. "Liang Da has worked hard, please hurry up."

"Master Xie, it's not hard for me to do it." Liang Da emphasized the word "I".

Li Jingchen smiled slightly, he wanted to seek refuge and maintain himself at the same time, but there is nothing like this in the world.

"Uncle Xingde, where is that man locked up?" Li Jingchen asked Wu Xingde sideways.

Wu Xingde frowned slightly, and after listening to Li Jingchen's words, he led Li Jingchen to the place where Shi Zhongmou was imprisoned. Liang Da dug something like a vegetable cellar in the yard. gas.

Wu Xingde held an oil lamp in front, and Li Jingchen followed behind. The flame of the small oil lamp was like beans and could not illuminate the whole vegetable cellar. Wu Xingde used the oil lamp to light a torch inside to light up.Then I saw Shi Zhongmou who was curled up in a corner and tied up, with a black and dirty cloth stuffed in his mouth, his face covered with tears, snot, and blood.Hearing the sound, Shi Zhongmou shuddered and secretly opened his eyes. His eyes were pierced by the fire, and tears flowed out all at once.After blinking a few times, it took a while to get used to it.

Looking at the sudden appearance of Li Jingchen and Wu Xingde with pleading eyes, he made a "huh huh" sound from his mouth.

Seeing Shi Zhongmou, Li Jingchen suddenly opened his lips and smiled brightly, but his eyes were cold.There was a wooden stick leaning against the wall, which was polished very smoothly. One end was thick and the other was thin. Li Jingchen held the thin end and weighed it. It was quite heavy. Looking carefully, there was still blood sticking to the stick.

Holding the wooden stick, Li Jingchen slowly approached Shi Zhongmou, taking every step extremely seriously.
