Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 87
After the robbery happened that year, the imperial court sent people to arrest these robbers. Among them, Lei Jing who was in Yanzhou also received an order to arrest them, and then escorted them back to Luodu City. , was beheaded on the spot by Lei Jing, among them were the first and second masters of Titian Island.

When Jiu Laoqi said this, Lei Jing looked at them with a hint of cruelty in his eyes, "How the Ministry of Punishment will try it is a matter that has already ended. Since you dare to show up today, then I will take this case for the court. Solve it completely, come on!"

A group of men in black quickly appeared in the woods, Jiu Laoqi watched them gather around, gripped the wheelchair a little bit, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Jiu Lao Qi's laughter was very loud, and it seemed particularly abrupt in the middle of the night. Even the man in black who was approaching was shocked by his laughter. Several sleeping birds were startled in the woods, Jiu Lao Qi Qi looked at Lei Jing arrogantly, and said in a presumptuous and loud voice, "Master Lei, do you think that if you capture us and kill us, no one will know that what happened back then was not an accident?"

"It is said that officials are more vicious than thieves. We don't know who Mr. Lei had grudges with back then, but if it gets out, even if the Ministry of Criminal Justice has no evidence, it's okay. Someone will dig it for Mr. Lei. Check it out." Jiu Lao Qi didn't look at the men in black who had already surrounded him and Shou Lao San, but looked straight at Lei Jing, his eyes were full of confidence.

"You think I dare not kill you." Lei Jing walked out of the pavilion and took the long sword from the man in black, "I, Lei Jing, was the only one who threatened others. Arrogant, if it gets out, who do you think would believe you two remnants of Tiandao, you killed the court officials for Tiandao, and I, Lei Jing, was just doing justice for Tiandao."

After all, the sword had already rested on Jiu Lao Qi's neck, and if he missed it by an inch, his neck would be chopped off.

"Kill us, but no one told Mr. Lei, where are my second brother's letters?" Jiu Laoqi stared at Lei Jing, not letting go of any expression on his face, and then he regarded death as home "My Jiu Laoqi is used to hiding and hiding, and life and death don't matter anymore. I don't know if Mr. Lei will get used to it in the future. I heard that the prison in the Ministry of Justice is much darker than the prisons in ordinary counties. Mr. Lei, you have been eating and drinking for so many years, you must not get used to it."

After saying this, the sword placed on Jiu Lao Qi's shoulder moved, but it did not approach his neck, but left Jiu Lao Qi.

The two people who were also looking at each other, actually had no idea in their hearts, Jiu Laoqi was worried to death, afraid that his two lives would be confessed here today, he cursed Shao Ziyu in his heart, but he wanted to maintain it on the surface All kinds of self-confidence, not the slightest hesitation can be revealed.

And the more Jiu Lao Qi looks like he has the chance to win, the more unmeasurable Lei Jing's words to him are.

When he received the letter, he doubted whether it was true or not. Up to now, Jiu Laoqi has not brought out several letters between the people he sent and the second head of Tiandao. The letters were not written by him himself, but by him. The cronies wrote the pen, if it is still there, it is easy to find him.

As long as the two people in front of him showed the slightest panic, he would kill them immediately, but they didn't, they were sure that he would not dare to kill them, because what they had was something that Lei Jing would never let others know .

Lei Jing was still thinking, the palm of Jiu Lao Qi's grip on the handle of the wheelchair was already slightly wet, if Lei Jing's sword fell at this time, then no one would be able to recover his life.

This is a tug of war, whoever lasts longer wins

I don't know how long time passed, I only heard the sound of the wind blowing in the woods, and the half-moon moon poured quietly, as if to illuminate this side for them.

The man in black didn't move, Lei Jing didn't move, Jiu Lao Qi and Shu Lao San didn't move either.

After a while, Lei Jing's slightly hoarse voice said, "It's a letter."

Even after being drained of all his strength, Jiu Laoqi didn't dare to relax, he raised his eyebrows, "Xin is naturally in a safe enough place."

There was a chill on Lei Jing's face, "What do you want?"

"Tai Tiandao, our seven brothers, now only my third brother and I are left, and the third brother was seriously injured. The other hundreds of brothers who died, Mr. Lei, what do you think of such human lives? They have been hiding all these years. How should we calculate it?" Jiu Laoqi broke the old account, Lei Jing snorted again, "Don't push yourself."

"Lord Lei, we didn't get the relief money that we promised back then. After all, we paved the way for you, Lord Lei, for hundreds of lives in Tiandao."

"That's because you are stupid." Lei Jing wished he could stab the two people to death, "I asked you to rob the money, but you still killed them."

Finally he said it, Jiu Laoqi breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly, "Master Lei, you asked us to rob the money, but we didn't get the money. That Master Shao is stubborn, so we will I had no choice but to kill them, and I could still grab something, it’s not that you didn’t make it clear, Mr. Lei, and you didn’t say that we can’t kill people.”

Asking for money is not enough to silence, this is the usual routine of robbers, and they also expect the robbers to be kind and take care of your family's seventies and eighties.

"That's why you were all beheaded and lost your life." Lei Jing sneered, "If you still negotiate terms, if you know where the things are, you can tell where the things are, and if you take the money, do you think you still have life money?"

"I don't know if we have life flowers, but whether Mr. Lei has this life to enjoy his old age, I, Jiu Lao Qi, think it is impossible." After Jiu Lao Qi finished speaking, countless officers and soldiers rushed out of the woods to chase them down. The crowd surrounded them.

Then the torch was lit, illuminating the surroundings of the pavilion even brighter. General Lu came over with two of his men. The men in black confronted the officers and soldiers. The seventh child of wine and the third child of worry.

"Brother Lei, you can make me wait a long time." General Lu looked at Lei Jing hehe, "If I were you, I wouldn't look at these two people anymore, you should think about it, this matter should How to round back."

Lei Jing immediately understood that this was a trick for him to jump in.

Smiling instead of angry, Lei Jing looked at General Lu, "Brother Lu, you are a good planner."

"Both and each other, no matter how good the plan is, it is not as strong as Brother Lei, you conspired with the robbers from Daitian Island to rob the disaster relief bank. After more than ten years, you didn't expect that this matter would be found out." General Lu looked at him, "Lei Jing, Lei Jing, I never expected that."

"I never thought that you would be so foolish as to listen to Old Thief Gu and do such a thing." From Lei Jing's words about letting them rob money, General Lu concluded that there was someone else who instructed him to do this. , "There is no other person in this world who can make you, Lei Jing, do such a foolish thing, except for that old thief Gu."

Lei Jing didn't refute him, facing Jiu Laoqi and facing General Lu are completely different things.

"You've found out everything." Lei Jing's expression was surprisingly calm, he understood General Lu's character, and without convincing evidence, he would not lead his troops to set him off like this.

"You're pleading guilty."

Lei Jing smiled, "Why, you still have to listen to my begging for mercy."

As soon as the words finished, Shao Ziyu came out from behind General Lu, looked at Lei Jing and said, "Uncle Lei, I want to hear from you why you conspired with the robbers to kill my parents."

"Shao Changzhong's good son, you have been investigating this matter for so many years, went to Pengcheng, arrested the remaining party, I underestimated you." Lei Jing looked at the expression on Shao Ziyu's face that was somewhat similar to Shao Changzhong, He laughed, and when the laughter stopped, he said, "I didn't mean to kill your parents."

"I asked them to rob the relief money, I didn't ask them to kill your father and your mother." Lei Jing repeated this sentence, "Believe it or not."

"Why did you let them rob the relief money delivered by your father?" Shao Ziyu said in a deep voice, "General Gu ordered you to do this, didn't he?"

Lei Jing didn't refute or admit it, "The imperial court sent officials to deliver the relief money. With the amount that your father is responsible for, once they are robbed, their official positions will not be guaranteed."

"The disaster relief bank was hijacked, my father's official position was not guaranteed, and he was resigned from the official. If there is such a big stain, then it is impossible for my father to inherit the title of Shaohou Mansion." Shao Ziyu said Lei Jing's words down.

Lei Jing remained silent, and Shao Ziyu continued, "But I didn't expect that when I encountered robbers, my father's first reaction was to ensure that the silver would not be hijacked, and let most people protect the silver to break out of the siege, and the silver was not taken. The robbers' purpose was thwarted, so they killed everyone who remained, leaving no one alive."

"When you knew that your parents were killed and realized that this matter would alarm the government and the public, and it was not that simple, please go from Yanzhou to Pengcheng to arrest the robbers from Titian Island, and escort them back to Luodu City for trial, fearing that they will When we arrive in Luodu City, we will reveal this matter, and kill the first and second masters who knew about it during the escort." Shao Ziyu said calmly, "The five sons of the Shao family, my grandfather paid more attention to my father than several uncles at that time. After I was born, my father's official position was promoted step by step. Old General Gu was worried that my grandfather would leave the title to my father to inherit, so he took advantage of the delivery of the disaster relief money to make my father's official position unsecured, and he had no status in the court. Forfeit the right to inherit the title."

"The person who transported the disaster relief money back then was not my father. It was General Gu and a few veterans who asked for advice. General Gu had planned it in advance. Mr. Lei, you don't have to bear it alone. General Gu is dead. If so, then the charges that should be borne will not be forgotten."

Lei Jing looked at Shao Ziyu, moved his mouth, his eyes were apologetic, but in the end he didn't say anything

When Shao Ziyu returned to Shao's Mansion, it was already the early morning of the next day. When he entered the room, he saw Lin Qingran who was waiting for him to sleep on the soft couch. He walked over and picked her up to the side of the bed, and put her down gently.

Lin Qingran slept very lightly, and woke up immediately after being hugged by him like this. When she opened her eyes and saw that it was him, she reached out and touched his face, "You're back."

Shao Ziyu nodded, didn't go to wash up, just took off his shoes and hugged her tightly, his voice was hoarse, "Well, I'm back."
