Start with Baihuguan

Chapter 156 The old man prepared a big gift for you!
Compared with the reactions of the common people, the ones who reacted the most were actually the officials who were asked by Li Huan to come and watch.

If these officials really want to talk about it, most of them are actually not good people. At most, according to the investigation data of Jin Yiwei, these people still maintain a certain bottom line.

Maybe he was corrupt and broke the law, maybe there were all kinds of wrong things, but at least he didn't do such things as killing people and letting them go, and he could do something.

If Li Huan really followed the rules established by Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with this evil official, I am afraid that there may not be a few people left in the Fujian officialdom.

It is indeed easy to kill people, but after killing people, I am afraid that the whole of Fujian will fall into a state where no one can use it, and it will be a mess at that time.

Li Huan's eyes fell on these officials. It could be seen that all of these people were pale, and some even sat there paralyzed, apparently terrified.

Since he hadn't done anything to these people before, Li Huan naturally didn't plan to do anything to those people who had made it clear that they would take refuge in him.

After all, without these people helping him to do things, it would be really difficult to carry out some of his orders.

In addition to these officials, there are also a group of wealthy businessmen and gentry, such as Jiang Hong. One can imagine.

Hundreds of thousands of people lined up to be beheaded. This situation is probably the only one in decades. Even the executioner changed two rounds in the end, and the beheading knife was almost cut off. Bladed.

For more than an hour, the surrounding area of ​​the execution ground was quiet, except for the occasional sobs, there was no other sound at all.

One after another corpses were lying on the execution ground, filled with blood and full of blood.

Li Huan sat there all the time, watching from the beginning to the end, which made many people feel more awe of Li Huan in their hearts.

Seeing the sparse crowd around him, Li Huan got up slowly, without saying anything, got on his horse and left without saying anything, surrounded by a group of Jinyi guards.

With Li Huan's departure, the depressing atmosphere that filled the execution ground finally dissipated. Many people let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

Although it was said that there was a bloody scene in front of him, the beheaded corpses were lying on the execution ground, which was incomparably horrifying.

But in the eyes of many people, compared to the corpses in front of them, it seemed that Li Huan was more terrifying.

After returning to the other courtyard, Li Huan saw several figures coming to welcome him.

When Luo Gan and the others saw Li Huan, they quickly saluted and said, "My subordinates are waiting to see you!"

Li Huan glanced at several people and said, "But what's the matter?"

Luo Gan nodded and said: "My lord, the murderers who killed Jin Yiwei Cai Chao and Zheng Kui have been caught."

Li Huan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, Jin Yiwei and the two of them never saw anyone alive or dead, he had heard about this matter from Chen Yao, he thought it would take a few days to see the result, but he didn't expect the result to be so soon.

As for the killing of the two missing people, in fact Li Huan had expected this a long time ago, unless they were killed by someone, otherwise, how could it be possible for the two living people not to return all night.

After all, unless there is a clear mission to go out, otherwise, he will go according to his instructions, and the people of Jin Yiwei will stay out overnight strictly.

For the people around him, Li Huan's restraint was quite strict. What he was afraid of was that these Jin Yiwei who followed him out of Beijing would lose their lives because of their recklessness.

Walking to a gazebo, Li Huan sat down, glanced at Luo Gan and the others who were following him and said, "Tell me, what's going on, I'm really curious, who is it? With such courage, even Jin Yiwei dared to kill him."

Luo Gan hurriedly said: "My lord, the one who killed us was a man from the rivers and lakes, maybe he was a young boy who had just walked in the rivers and lakes. Somehow, he met Cai Chao and Zheng Kui who were chasing and killing the Qian family." Qian Li, you also know that our reputation is not very good, we were killed by that person at that time, and our bodies were hidden in the residence."

Li Huan nodded slightly, which was expected.

He took a cup of tea from the attendant, took a sip of the tea and said, "What's that man's name? Which family's disciple is he? When he went down the mountain, didn't his master tell him who to provoke and who not to provoke?" ?”

Luo Gandao: "That man's name is Linghu Chong, a disciple of Huashan School..."

Li Huan, who was drinking tea, heard Luo Gan's words and almost spit out a mouthful of tea. He looked at Luo Gan in disbelief.

He couldn't have heard it wrong, the murderer turned out to be Linghu Chong, which was beyond Li Huan's expectation.

Although he said he was extremely astonished, Li Huan listened to Luo Gan tell the story after being surprised at first.

Li Huan had a rather weird look on his face. Linghu Chong rescued Qian Li, but he wanted to take people out of the city at night, but accidentally leaked his whereabouts. He was discovered by soldiers patrolling the city and Jin Yiwei, and killed himself under the city wall. , Even people were shot like hedgehogs.

Glancing at Luo Gan, Li Huan said: "You said that Qian Li finally betrayed Linghu Chong and took you to the residence of Linghu Chong's master and apprentice, but was slapped to death by Yue Buqun who drove back?"

Luo Gan nodded and said: "The subordinates are incompetent. Although they found the bodies of Cai Chao and Zheng Kui, they didn't have any accomplices who could catch Linghu Chong. That Yue Buqun is extremely powerful, and he will kill me as soon as he makes a move." Get it under control, if it wasn't for the fact that the other party didn't kill the killer, I'm afraid the corpses of the subordinates will be completely cold by now."

When Li Huan heard Luo Gan say that Yue Buqun didn't kill them, but only rescued Yue Lingshan and restrained their acupuncture points, he tapped the stone table lightly with one hand, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "This Yue Buqun is interesting."

Luo Gangong said: "My lord, Linghu Chong's body has already been brought over. As for the escaped Yue Buqun and Yue Lingshan, the subordinates don't know how to deal with them, so I came here to ask your lord for instructions."

Meng Hui, who had been standing there without speaking, had a stern look in his eyes at this moment and said: "My lord, it seems that people in the rivers and lakes who dare to kill our Jin Yiwei cannot be tolerated and indulged."

The two people who were killed, including Luo Gan, were under Meng Hui's subordinates, so Meng Hui was naturally very annoyed.

Li Huan got up slowly, put his hands behind his back and said, "Take me to see Linghu Chong's body."

Although he didn't know why Li Huan suddenly wanted to see the corpse of an unknown person, Meng Hui and Luo Gan hurriedly led the way.

Soon Li Huan saw a corpse wrapped by the chairman.

Although the arrows on his body had been cleaned up, just looking at the blood holes on his body, one could imagine that Linghu Chong must have been shot with arrows before he died.

To be honest, Li Huan didn't have much affection for this Linghu Chong. As the eldest disciple of the Huashan School, his actions seemed to be deliberately harming the Huashan School.

It's just that they never thought that Linghu Chong would die in this way in Fuzhou City. Perhaps this may not be a bad thing for the Huashan faction.

After waving his hand, Li Huan smiled lightly and said, "Since Linghu Chong is dead, Cai Chao and Zheng Kui's revenge will be avenged. Linghu Chong's body has been restrained for the time being. As for Yue Buqun and Yue Lingshan, there is no rush. If that Yue Buqun is smart enough, he will definitely give us an explanation."

As he said that, a murderous intent flashed in Li Huan's eyes and said: "Otherwise, I will personally lead the army to flatten Huashan and destroy his Huashan orthodoxy."

Listening to Li Huan's words, Meng Hui, Luo Gan and others couldn't help but feel refreshed.

You must know that the name of the Huashan School is quite famous in the Jianghu. Although they usually look down on these people in the Jianghu, there is one thing they have to admit, that is, there are indeed some people in the Jianghu. It's very powerful, and it's something they don't want to provoke.

Although the government has always held a suppressive attitude towards the sects of the Jianghu, after the initial suppression, it was discovered that no matter how hard they tried, it was difficult to completely exterminate these people in the Jianghu. Fan, even with the power of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, in the end, he failed to completely eliminate the existence of people in the world.

Since then, although the power of Jianghu has gradually declined, the imperial court has also changed its strategy of directly mobilizing large troops to encircle and kill, and instead supported the two major sects of Shaolin and Wudang to complete the suppression and supervision of Jianghu.

For this reason, the royal family personally ordered the establishment of a family temple in Wudang Mountain, and even dispatched special officials to manage it. Since then, the imperial court's attitude towards Jianghu has continued.

Li Huan was able to say the words of stepping down Mount Hua, which in the eyes of Meng Hui and Luo Gan was quite a display of protection.

After all, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and all the officials in the imperial court do not want to provoke a sect with cutting-edge force. Officials, even if they were able to kill the opponent in the end, in the end, the harm would outweigh the benefits.

After glancing at a few people, Li Huan said: "Go and inform Commander Dong Huan, tell him to let go of the blockade of the four gates of Fuzhou, and allow the people to come and go freely."

Meng Hui heard the words: "My lord, isn't it a little early to let go of the blockade now? After all, there are still some remnants of the rebels who have not been found. If the city gates are opened wide, I'm afraid they will escape."

Li Huan glanced at Meng Hui and said, "Do you think even if the blockade continues and we throw out all the people, how many people will we be able to find in the end?"

Meng Hui couldn't help but look stagnant, and he had to admit that these escaped thieves had probably gone into hiding for a long time now. As local snakes, either their hiding places were extremely secretive, or someone was covering them up, let alone them. There are only so few manpower, even if the available manpower is increased several times, it is impossible to find all these people.

After waving his hand, Li Huan said with a smile: "Fuzhou City has been closed for a few days, and so many incidents have happened in a few days, the hearts of the people in this city have long been tense. , then it’s time to open the gates of the city to eliminate the tense and terrifying atmosphere in the city, otherwise, after a long time, if it is secretly guided by someone with a heart, there is no guarantee that it will not cause a civil riot.”

As he said that, Li Huan's expression showed a solemn expression.

When Meng Hui and the others heard Li Huan's words, their complexions changed drastically, and they immediately said to Li Huan: "Your Excellency has a long-term vision, and my subordinates did not expect this, so I will go to inform Commander Dong and ask him to open the city gate. "

In Fuzhou City, in a remote residential house, several figures are gathering in a small living room.

If anyone who knew them saw these people, they would be very surprised, because these people were one of the leaders of the various families who led their servants to besiege the magistrate's yamen under the instigation of the old man.

It's not that these people are fatal, but that the eggs of these families cannot be put in one basket. In each family, the core members of the family hid early, neither staying in the mansion, nor following the brigade to besiege the mansion. The thing to be prepared for is that the attack on the government office failed and was taken over by someone.

At this moment, several people looked at the old man standing there and said, "My lord, we did what you asked us to do, so what should we do next?"

Qian Ren is a very capable elder of the Qian family. He has always assisted Qian Yong in managing the various businesses of the Qian family. It can be said that he is extremely capable. After the discussion, Qian Ren took some people to hide.

The rest of the people also looked at the old man in unison.

The old man seemed very calm, and said lightly: "Then wait, the seeds have been sown, just wait for the time to come, and then they can break through the ground and germinate."

Someone heard the words and said impatiently: "Old guy, you are so mysterious. Our families took people to besiege the government office because of your idea, but they were slaughtered by Li Huan. Even the family is ruined, and now you are looking for us again, if you don’t say that you are ugly today, you can go and bury the dead of each family.”

With a light cough, someone hastily said to the angry man, "Brother He Tong, calm down, it's thanks to the old man that we can gather here, isn't it? I believe the old man will give us an explanation." .”

As he said this, the man bowed his hands to the old man and said with a smile, "My lord, do you think so?"

Hearing this, the old man sneered and said: "Is one playing red faces and the other singing bad faces? It's not that the old man looks down on you people. If you want to know something, just say it directly. What's the point of playing these tricks with the old man?"

Everyone was distracted by the old man, but they didn't show any signs of embarrassment, they just stared at the old man.

The old man said with a bit of disdain: "Didn't I ask you to spread rumors? As long as Li Huan closes the city gate for a few more days, the people in this city will accumulate more and more anxiety. At that time, as long as you It is definitely not a problem to take the lead secretly to detonate a civil unrest that affects more than [-] people in the city. When you say that there will be such a big disturbance, what will happen to Li Huan?"

Everyone couldn't help but change their faces when they heard the words, and they all looked at the old man with awe and fear.

This old man is so vicious that he wants to use the people of the whole city to provoke a civil unrest. They are not fools. If this civil unrest breaks out, it will involve 10,000+ people in the huge city of Fuzhou. I don't know how many people will die in this turmoil.

As for Li Huan's fate, any fool can imagine that even if Li Huan escaped from the city without dying in the civil unrest, he might not live for long.

Such a big turmoil will definitely cause a sensation in the world and the court. At that time, no matter how much the emperor favors him, Li Huan must be pushed out and beheaded to show the public and give an explanation to the people of the world.

It can be said that at that time, let alone Li Huan is the favorite minister of the emperor, even if Li Huan is a member of the royal family, he will not escape death.

The eyes of He Tong, Qian Ren and the others were full of astonishment, and they quickly laughed and said: "Okay, okay, this plan is very clever, if the old man's plan can be realized, no one in this world can save him Li Huan , I wait for the people who died unjustly, this bloody revenge can finally be avenged!"

Qian Ren picked up the teacup, a strange look flashed in his eyes, he cast his eyes on the old man, and suddenly said: "My lord, can you tell me who you are and why you help us deal with Li Huan so much?"

This should be what everyone wanted to know the most, so seeing Qian Ren's sudden opening, all eyes immediately turned to the old man.

The abilities and methods displayed by the old man all show that the old man's status is not ordinary, and ordinary people do not have such a terrifying overall situation view and vision.So everyone was very curious about the identity of the old man.

The old man frowned, looked at Qian Ren, and said with a look of fear in his eyes: "It doesn't seem to matter who the old man is. The important thing is that we have a common enemy."

But He Tong shook his head and said: "My lord, it is too insincere to say that, we can say that we are cooperating with you with our heads up, but you are not even willing to reveal your identity, how can this make us feel at ease. "

He Tong said with a smile to the surrounding people: "Everyone, tell me, is this the truth?"

"Yes, yes, since we are cooperating, we should know each other well!"

"That's right, tell me that last time you met with everyone, you created a mourning hall, and this time you changed it to a different place. It's so mysterious, we really don't know it!"

All of a sudden, everyone was complaining, and they just looked at the old man like that, creating a scene where everyone was angry.

The old man looked very calm, as if he didn't hear what these people said, he slowly raised his teacup and said, "Everyone, I'm tired!"

Everyone couldn't help being dumbfounded. Is this serving tea to see off guests?
Their previous hiding place was quite secret, but even so, most of them were found by the people sent by the old man.

What does this mean? None of the people present are fools. It is clear that the other party has sent someone to spy on them.

Even the place where they hide is being watched, how can this make them feel at ease, it's no wonder that they can feel a little bit safe.

Although it is said that there are a few families that did not come, they are not sure whether it is because the hiding places of the few houses are hidden enough and have not been found, or there are other reasons, but when they just saw other people present, everyone tacitly He made up his mind, this time no matter what, he had to ask the old man's identity.

I thought that under the joint pressure of so many of them, the other party would definitely not be able to hold on, and it would be better to be open and honest with them, but I never thought that this old man would not play cards according to common sense, not only did he not reveal his identity, but Serve the guests directly with tea.

Someone with a hot temper slapped the table and stood up, and shouted at the old man: "You old bastard..."

With a flash of sword light, a man dressed in black was holding a gleaming sword against the man's throat, and the cold and sharp sword tip almost pierced the man's skin.

It was cold but with a tingling pain, that person never thought that such a thing would happen, he was frightened dumbfounded.

He took a step back as a conditioned reflex, and looked at the big man in black with a pale face, his eyes were full of fear, while the old man sat there, as if he hadn't seen this scene.

The rest of the people are not fools. When they saw this scene, everyone knew that it was impossible to know the identity of the old man this time, and there was no point in staying here any longer. If they continue to stay, who knows if the man in black will violently injure others, which will be bad for them.

"go!"

Everyone got up and was about to leave, when suddenly there was a bang, and the door was kicked open fiercely.

This sudden change shocked everyone, especially when they saw the situation at the door, their faces changed instantly, full of fear.

Someone even exclaimed: "Li Huan, why are you here!"

"Run away, Jin Yiwei is here!"

I saw a team of Jin Yiwei rushing into the courtyard first, and the strong crossbow in their hands had already locked everyone present, not only the Jin Yiwei who rushed in from the door, but also on the high walls around the courtyard. All of a sudden, figures appeared.

It can be said that this courtyard has been heavily surrounded at this moment. Under the blockade, even a fly can't fly out.

Li Huan walked slowly into the courtyard, his eyes swept over the crowd, and finally fell on the old man who was not moving in the living room.

The old man didn't seem to panic at all, even if Li Huan broke in, the old man didn't get up, just sat there and looked at Li Huan from a distance.

The man in black stood beside the old man with a sword in his hand, his whole body was tense, obviously he felt a great threat from Li Huan.

Li Huan said slowly: "Take down everyone, but if there is resistance, kill without mercy!"

The guards in Jinyi all around responded, and immediately stepped forward to arrest him.

Someone yelled loudly: "If you want to catch your grandfather, don't even think about it!"

Someone wanted to escape as soon as he jumped. Just by looking at his vigorous figure, he knew that this person had practiced kung fu to some extent, but it was a pity that under such heavy siege, he heard the sound of bowstrings as soon as he moved.

huh, huh

Several crossbow arrows were shot out in unison, and in an instant, the man who had just jumped up was hit by several arrows on the spot, and fell to the ground with a plop, and the ground was stained red on the spot with gurgling blood.

Originally, someone wanted to emulate this person, but when he saw what happened to this person, the courage that had just been summoned in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Even if he was caught, he might be beheaded, but it was better than being shot and killed by Jin Yiwei right now.

Li Huan didn't pay attention to these people who were full of unwillingness, but unwilling to make the slightest change. He could only let Jin Yiwei step forward to take them down. Instead, he stepped forward slowly and walked into the living room, as if an old friend reunited. Looking at the old man, he said, "Lord Cai, let's meet again!"

The people outside who were captured by Jin Yiwei happened to hear Li Huan's words at this moment, they were just stunned for a moment, and when they realized it, they all looked at the old man with astonishment.

In this city of Fuzhou, the only one who can be called Lord Cai by Li Huan is probably only Cai Wen, the procurator who dared to do the crazy act of besieging and killing the imperial envoy.

Didn't it mean that Cai Wen was already dead? Why did he appear here again and attracted so many Jin Yiwei? Could it be that from the beginning, this was a game?

A group of people were obviously confused by the resurrected Cai Wen, and all kinds of thoughts flashed in their minds, even whether Cai Wen was acting with Li Huan to show them, in order to lure them out and wipe them out are born.

The old man stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and the next moment he saw a familiar face appear, it was not Cai Wen, whoever it was.

Cai Wen looked at Li Huan with a smile on his face, and even poured a cup of tea for Li Huan and pushed it in front of Li Huan.

Li Huan glanced at it, smiled slightly, and said, "Master Cai's tea, Mr. Li dare not taste it!"

Cai Wen laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Lord Li is really cautious, are you still afraid that the old man will poison this tea?"

Li Huan nodded slowly and said: "Lord Cai even lied to me before, who knows if there is really poison in your tea?"

As he spoke, Li Huan flicked his fingers, and a gust of wind hit the teacup, which immediately fell to the ground.

Cai Wen said with a look of regret: "It's a pity, Mr. Li is unwilling to taste such a high-grade tea."

Li Huan looked at Cai Wen and said, "Master Cai really put in so much effort to deal with Li, but I don't know if Mr. Cai expected that we would meet again so soon."

Cai Wen put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at the group of captured people outside and said, "I just didn't expect that some of these people would ask you for credit so quickly, regardless of blood and deep hatred."

Li Huan nodded and said: "That's right, even Li didn't expect it, but I don't know how you can get away this time, Mr. Cai?"

Li Huan said with a smile: "This time I will order someone to chop Mr. Cai into several pieces. If Mr. Cai can still survive, Li will also admit it!"

Cai Wen laughed loudly when he heard the words: "If Cai is really chopped into several pieces, then he will really die and can't die anymore."

As Cai Wen said, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "Guess what kind of gift I prepared for Mr. Li?"

Frowning, Li Huan said calmly: "Based on Mr. Cai's calculations, it is impossible not to be prepared for this scene, so Li is also very curious, what preparations do you have?"

Cai Wen looked at Li Huan, a crazy look flashed in his eyes and said, "Do you still remember what I said back then?"

Li Huan frowned and shook his head, "Lord Cai said a lot to Li, how can Li guess?"

Cai Wen leaned forward slightly, his eyes were full of madness, he just stared at Li Huan and said: "I said, if I do it all over again, I will prepare tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder for Mr. Li! "

Said Cai Wen laughed wildly and stood up, pointing to the yard and said: "Just under this yard, tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder have been buried. For Mr. Li, I don't know how much effort I spent to make it so A lot of gunpowder, it's all here, how about it, aren't you surprised!"

When the people outside heard Cai Wen's words, they all showed horror and looked at the ground under their feet. If it was true as what Cai Wen said, it meant that they were killed under their feet. Tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder were buried, and once it exploded, everyone here would be instantly reduced to fly ash in that big explosion.

Cai Wen just looked at Li Huan like that, with madness and anticipation in his eyes, as if he wanted to see fear and terror on Li Huan's face, and he even wanted to see Li Huan pleading to him.
