Chapter 2507 Burning Building (Twenty)
Hearing this, Xue Tu looked at Mu Shi suspiciously, and said, "How did Taoist Master Mu Shi increase his prestige and destroy our spirit?"

Mu Shi glanced at Xue Tu, and said calmly: "Brother Xue, do you think you have seen the general trend clearly? But you don't know that sometimes you can advance and retreat with two boats, but sometimes you have to fall into the river without leaning on both sides, and sometimes you will fall into the river when you get on the boat. When you get thrown into the water by a penny, the key is not which boat you step on, but which boat seat you bought."

Speaking of which, Taoist Mushi returned to his seat, poured himself a glass, took a sip of the wine, and gave Yun Ting a look.

Yun Ting took out a stack of papers from his pocket and handed them over, saying, "Brother Xue, please take a look at this first."

Xue Tu took the paper suspiciously, but it turned out to be a document. The document was written by hand. It was written in small script with a very energetic face. It was written horizontally according to the Australian writing rules. From left to right, the sentences were read between sentences. It read "Guangdong Key Bandits Inside Information Bulletin" impressively. As soon as I saw the title, Xue Tu was taken aback. The collapse and absence of local grassroots regimes and government armed forces, a large number of local armed forces swarmed everywhere, occupying hilltops, building sieges, raising private soldiers, recruiting criminals, forming gangs, bullying men and women, burning, killing, and looting, and some of them usurped The evil gentry, united with lawless armed elements, set up outlets in the countryside, spread rumors, organized riots, sabotaged and set fires, and were willing to be used by the usurpering government and cooperate strategically for possible counterattacks in the future. Now these landlords and bandits have become our Australian A cancer that must be eradicated under the Song regime. Based on this, the Senate decided to adjust the strategic deployment in Guangdong in the near future, slow down the pace of expansion, and defend the fruits of victory. At key strategic nodes, we must maintain The strong high-pressure situation maintains deterrence, and at the same time turns the spearhead to the attack of internal hostile elements. The Senate proposed the strategic policy of "consolidating the core and focusing on the key points". An important base point, through the establishment of a base base to radiate outwards, to give strong support to the newly established local government, and to divide the area according to the base base area, to eliminate the passive situation of being attacked by the enemy, and to form a line with points and a line with lines. , Based on the general situation, in the near future, the central financial allocation will be tilted towards military projects in a planned way, and the suppression work will be organized gradually. The key arrangements are as follows..."

The more Xue Tu looked at it, the more frightened he became. When he turned to the last two pages, he found that the paper had changed to Australian paper, the font had changed to imitation Song Dynasty, and the printing method had also changed to Australian mimeograph. The red stamp at the end was also a circle commonly used by Australians. Zhang, this determination cannot be forged.He looked at Mu Shi with questioning eyes, Mu Shi nodded, and said: "Yes, these two pages are the originals, but unfortunately, because of these two pages, Brother Yun's dark thread in the Kun thief's mansion has been pulled out, and I am afraid that he will not be seen again in the future." We can’t get such confidential documents.” After speaking, he sighed and shook his head, looking very regretful.Xue Tu withdrew his gaze, forced himself to calm down, and then looked down. The more he looked, the more horrified he became. Cold sweat kept dripping from his forehead, his hands trembled slightly, a little bit of sweat dripped on the paper, and the paper rustled casually. When he saw the column of "Extremely Harmful to Society, Key Attack Targets, List of Representative Bandit Leaders, Leaders of the Feudal Taoist Society", Xue Tu couldn't help but feel a sudden shock when he saw his name on the list. , He forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, stabilized his mind, put down the document, and said: "The Kun thief has been plotting against him for a long time. Since I am an enemy of the Kun thief, this matter was already in Xue's expectation, so it doesn't count." what."

Mu Shi smiled again, and said: "Brother Xue still had some extravagant hopes, trying to save his family, but he didn't know that it would be fine if he voted for the imperial court, but if he voted for the gangsters, his death would be imminent!"

Xue Tu suddenly raised his head when he heard this, stared at the wood and stone, and said, "I hope the Taoist priest will teach me."

Taoist Mu Shi said: "Do you think Liu Xiang's tou Kun will have a good end? He used to be well received, but now he lives under the fence and is scolded by others. His roots are in the sea and not on land. Now the Australians have taken his boat and scattered his people." , all of them were incorporated into the shipping company, but it was barely enough to save a rich man, and he was supervised by the Australians day and night, and he did not dare to act rashly, and the Australians would never appoint outsiders. Just look at the sky, this is still a powerful party with tens of thousands of people in its arms, if brother Xue wants to surrender, even if he accepts these sects, how powerful can he be? Do you have the money to bargain with the gangsters?"

Taoist Mu Shi said again: "Liu Xiang can still get a share in the shipping company, which can be regarded as a source of support, and he has some sea trade routes. He can be a counselor for the Kunren, and the Kunren came here by sea. These people are the most What is important is that Liu Xiang knows the current affairs, so he can keep it safe. Brother Xue, don't get carried away thinking that you are the king and hegemony in these three mountains and five villages. Brother Xue has to take a closer look at yourself, and weigh yourself whether you are as important as Liu Xiang What can you get if you cast your kun? The poor Taoist watch Brother Xue’s past travels, and know that Mr. Xue is a person with lofty aspirations. He has never been willing to be under others. Brother Xue, what is the talent that the Kun people value? In the end, what the director is doing is just fooling the foolish people in the countryside with Taoism and supernatural powers, and coercing them into my own use. Superstitious activities are a factor of social instability, keeping them is only a scourge, not helpful, you can neither be an official nor a general, and in terms of closeness and closeness, it is nothing compared to the officials who were selected and taught by the Kun people themselves. , Brother Xue is useless in the eyes of the thieves, and he may win over him a little bit at first, but after a long time, if Brother Xue makes any changes, it will be a catastrophe immediately!"

Xue Tu frowned, and listened dumbly, without saying a word, his face was hardened into one, and his expression changed from pale to white.

At this time, Yun Ting took over from the side: "Brother Xue Xian is not an ordinary person, he has been ambitious since he debuted, and it is said that the old commander of the Heavenly Soldiers and Dao God Association did not want to pass it on to Brother Xue Xian, but Brother Xue Xian fought for it with his own ability. Brother Xue Xian is really humble and courteous, the person sitting here today is an old man who was healthy and in his prime a few years ago, how can it be his turn to get Xian brother Xue? Xian brother Xue's competitive temperament is under Kunren's hands, and it will be difficult for him to die well."

Xue Tu suddenly raised his eyes, stared at Yun Ting, and said, "What did you say?"

Yun Ting didn't evade, sneered, stared back at Xue Tu and said: "The wall has eyes, and the wall has ears. I know what everyone has done, but everyone pretends not to know it. Don't make a fuss and say it clearly." .”

Xue Tu's breathing became short of breath, his hands slowly clenched into fists, and his face turned cold.

Yun Ting stopped talking to him, just took out two more things from his bosom, threw them on the table with a bang, and said calmly, "Xue Xiandi, see if you recognize these things?"

Xue Tu picked up the things on the table and took a closer look. As if struck by lightning, his heart was icy cold. One of the two things was a magic charm of the name card of the Taoist Society, and the other was the work card of an Australian. Both things were stained with dried It turned into black and purple blood stains. Xue Tu remembered that he sent his trusted disciples to contact the Australians that day, but they never returned. This matter has always been a heartache in Xue Tu’s heart. He couldn't sleep at night, thinking wildly all day long, never thought of seeing him here today.His face was filled with surprise and he turned his eyes, only to find that none of the cronies he arranged were by his side.

Seeing this, Yun Ting sneered secretly, and said: "Brother Xue Xian, don't worry. Knowing that Xue Xiandi used to fight against Kun and kill thieves, assassinate the liaison officers of various townships, and take reasonable burdens for robbery, etc., have long been known to the Kun people. With such a deep enmity, Xue Xiandi still expects the Kun bandits to clear up their past suspicions, it is too naive. Besides, this time the Kun bandits failed to recruit, because of the Kun bandit's character, he will soon have to be punished, Xue Xian brother must make up his mind, now only this Don’t miss a way out, it’s worse than stepping on two boats, even if you can’t stand on one boat.”

Taoist Mushi finished speaking, took out a letter from his pocket, and said seriously: "Brother Xue, here is a letter of recommendation written by Xiong Du himself on the poor road, promising that Brother Xue can at least teach a guerrilla. If he has military merits, Even if you give it to a general, it’s not a bad idea, and you also promise that if the Guangfu is restored in the future, brother Xue will not leave his homeland and lead his troops to defend himself. Brother Xue, fame and wealth are easy to come by, what you want, the Kunren will not give it, and you will give it to me. No, only the imperial court can give us what we want. If brother Xue insists on taking that wrong path and turns his face on him, I'm afraid it will hurt our peace. Do you think that second brother Yun and I are the ones who will not leave behind? ? This letter is definitely not a forgery, and there will be Governor Xiong Guanfang later, brother Xue can check it carefully." After finishing speaking, he handed over the letter.

Xue Tu took the letter with both hands, looked at it silently for a long time, finally let out a long sigh, and slowly slumped in the armchair as if his muscles and bones had been taken away. "Since this is the case, then the man surnamed Li must not stay, come here!"

As soon as the words fell, a big man pushed the door open and entered, crossing his hands to listen to the order, Xue Tu said: "Pick dozens of hard hands, and immediately go after the old Li Wei, Li Jian and Li Baiqing, and you must take the uncle and nephew. The head on the neck, go and come back quickly!"

Yun Ting said from the side: "Little brother is not talented, but I have some foresight. I thought I was ahead of Brother Xue Xian. I have already sent more than ten people to hunt down and kill him first. It would be better if Brother Xue would send someone to help. You and I will join forces." If necessary, Li Jian cannot escape justice."

Xue Tu glanced back at Yun Ting, then nodded, with complicated expressions in his eyes.

Taoist Mu Shi and Yun Ting looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that the last nail had finally been nailed.
