Records of the King of Xin'an County

Because of the urgency of the situation, Li Hui was not interested in continuing to flirt with Mr. Zhou.He stood against the light, looked down at the skinny old man from a high position, and said indifferently: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Mr. Zhou is no longer the same as before. It's really embarrassing. It can be seen that the inexplicable hatred and obsession can really make people feel better." Does Mr. Zhou say yes or no to killing people's spirits?"

Mr. Zhou looked directly at him and said with a sneer, "Aren't these hatreds and obsessions given by your Li family?!"

"So, Mr. Zhou defected to another Li family for this reason?" The corners of Li Hui's lips curled up, with undisguised irony, "It turns out that Mr. Zhou forgot, is he also the clan king?" Mr. Zhou tried to refute with a livid face, he chuckled again, and then said: "Besides, your hatred is really unreasonable. It's just an excuse for your shamelessness and selfishness - such a clumsy Excuses, before the righteousness of the family and the country, it is really not worth mentioning. Could it be that you haven't realized until now that Du Shishilang didn't betray you, nor did he join us for the sake of glory and wealth, but he just has the character of a family member in his heart? Oh, that’s right, of course you can’t notice it, because you have long since given up your solid bones as a human being and a citizen of the Tang Dynasty.”

"As a person from the Tang Dynasty, even if you have resentment in your heart, you will not collude with other races, causing the tragic situation of people dying and laying dead for thousands of miles; as a person from the Tang Dynasty, you will never intentionally set off a rebellion because of your own personal hatred, and harm innocent people. Mr. Zhou After reading the books of sages and sages for so many years, you can’t even understand the simplest things. Could it be that the teachings of sages and sages have been forgotten by you?! Could it be that you only read the books of sages and sages for your eyes, but never for your heart? !"

The young king of Xin'an County has an awe-inspiring look on his face, and his eyes are clear and sharp, as if he can tear off the mask of hypocrisy and question the weak and twisted heart.Mr. Zhou's complexion changed again and again, and he wanted to refute, but was interrupted by him repeatedly, and the aggressive momentum just now gradually dried up.

At this time, Li Hui slowed down his voice, and mocked: "If Mr. Zhou wants to be the Bank of China, the historian can make you notorious for thousands of years. However, you may not be able to do even the Bank of China. After all, if you don't want to confide The truth is, you should go to Dali Temple Prison and wait to be executed, you can no longer be loyal to your lord. Tsk, Du Shishilang has really wasted a lot of painstaking efforts to save your life."

Mr. Zhou was slightly startled, and immediately seized the opportunity to question: "If you have a grudge, you have a grudge! Dozens of people from the master's family! Only one lineage is left! Shouldn't I avenge them?! No Should we comfort those ghosts who died unjustly?! What's the point of dealing with you noble royals without completely destroying your reliance?!"

"Dozens of people, who died unjustly?" Li Hui asked unhurriedly, "Could it be that you want to deny that your master's father and son are not people who intend to plot against you? Therefore, I advised the abolished prince on how to hide the soldiers, and how to carry out the 'Xuanwu Gate Incident' again? They sentenced to beheading, so why was there any injustice? As for the innocent family members and children who died of illness, it was only because of their involvement. There is no difference between them and the Yang family—Sir, why not tell me, has the Yang family been wronged?"

"Where's Li Song?! Where's the culprit, Li Song!! He's still alive and well!!" Mr. Zhou had piercing hatred in his eyes. Exiled and recalled to the capital... If it weren't for us, maybe he would have been knighted again! Why?! Why!!"

"Mr. Zhou is a celebrity, and he should be no stranger to the laws of the Tang Dynasty. There are 'eight discussions' in the legal discussions, one of which is to discuss relatives. Take the nine clans at home, cooperate with all nations outside, and spread the grace of rain and dew. The principle of relatives. As the emperor, the grandfather pardoned the death penalty of the prince; as the father, he pardoned the death penalty of the son. Is it so difficult to understand the heart of a loving father? Moreover, the death penalty can be forgiven, but the living penalty cannot be escaped. Li Song is the same as his family and children. Being exiled, after more than ten years of miserable life, Mr. Zhou has forgotten all about it?"

"In addition, the abolished prince is now a monk, cut off all ties to the world, and trapped in a temple, what is the difference from a prison? Taking a step back, even if the abolished prince has a private enmity with the husband, the husband should avenge the grudge. , instead of serving the rebellious king, trying to overthrow the imperial court!! What kind of enmity do today's saints have with Mr.? What kind of personal grievances do innocent people have with Mr.?! Why should Mister affect others because of his own selfishness?!"

Mr. Zhou has long been obsessed, so naturally he can't listen to these words: "My master's family was killed by the order of the late emperor! The abolished prince was released by the late emperor! This emperor was chosen by the late emperor!! The king actually said that there is no enmity?! Father's debts! Brothers' debts! The lives of dozens of people in the master's family, it's not enough to make up for the deposed prince!!"

Li Hui frowned, and was about to argue again. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Du Chongfeng standing quietly beside him, and suddenly thought about it.Then, I saw him looking at Mr. Zhou with the eyes of a "lunatic": "Mr. has some truths, otherwise there will be no criminal law that harms the family. However, if all relatives of sinners are like Mr. Thinking, huh... the law of the Tang Dynasty has become a living joke. Since this is the case, if the master has something to do, the disciple will do his best. Since the master refuses to admit it, Du Shishilang should make up for the fault of the master."

Hearing this, Li Jing's expression changed immediately, and he instinctively wanted to defend his best friend, but Du Chongfeng stretched out his arms to stop him, and shook his head slightly.He was anxious and worried, unable to understand why his elder brother would suddenly say that, let alone why his best friend acquiesced—maybe, they reached some kind of tacit understanding without words again?

Thinking of this, Duke Tianshui couldn't help being stunned, and instinctively felt a little sore in his heart.

Seeing that he was no longer agitated, Du Chongfeng thought he had calmed him down, so he continued, "Du is willing to atone for his mistakes. If he doesn't kill Hejian County King, he will never return to Beijing! His life's wish is to completely destroy Get rid of King Ni's tricks and maintain the stability of our Datang border!!"

Hearing that he actually made such a poisonous oath, Li Jing suddenly regained his senses, and became anxious again.However, Li Hui just nodded in satisfaction: "Very well, Du Shishilang, you can go."

Du Chongfeng bowed to him, knelt down and bowed to Mr. Zhou, and then left without looking back.Li Jing immediately chased after him, but after Mr. Zhou was stunned, he said in a hoarse voice: "The king is forcing me?"

"Whether you want to keep the last blood of the master's family depends on Mr. Zhou's choice." Li Hui said lightly, and when he turned around and walked out slowly, his footsteps stopped, "However, because of the new marriage, he was forced to separate from the beautiful family. Because of this, my patience is a bit lacking. If Mister Zhou can’t make a decision within half an hour, then it’s fine. Thinking about it, if a smart person like Du Chongfeng goes to Shengzhou to work carefully, he will definitely make a lot of contributions.”

The door closed again, completely isolating the inside and outside of the study.In the still dim morning light, Mr. Zhou bowed his head in meditation, his arched back seemed to be broken in the next moment.Originally, his hair was only gray, and it was all dyed with snow because of this night.

When Li Hui left the yard, he saw Li Jing in front of him was running around in a hurry, but Du Chongfeng seemed to be much more relaxed, and even had time to enjoy the nearby rural scenery.The two of them moved and remained still, and they seemed to be quite harmonious, and there was even a sense of a picture that was suitable for both movement and stillness.

"Fourteen Lang, how can you make such an oath?! If you fail this time, are you really going to Shengzhou?! Besides, didn't we agree to go to Shazhou with King Yong'an to gain military merits? Is it? Didn’t I agree that in the future I will be the governor, and you will be the long history under my account..."

A certain person was so anxious that he couldn't help but muttered and complained about his elder brother in a low voice, raised his eyebrows at Li Hui who had heard all his complaints, and suddenly showed a smile that was not a smile.

Cheng Qing didn't know when he came to him: "I've been planning this mission for so long, and I want to give it to Du Shishilang? Hah." He spent more than a month back and forth, and sacrificed more than one month's worth of tricks before he got the river. Jianjun Wang looked at it differently, so naturally he couldn't make a wedding dress for others.The most important thing is that he doesn't think Du Chongfeng is suitable for a detailed job.

"Don't worry. Even if he wants to go, I won't allow it." Li Hui said, his brows seemed to be a little joking, "Otherwise, it's really not worthwhile to ask brothers to turn against each other."

Cheng Qing narrowed his eyes, and then he heard Du Chongfeng not far away say with a smile: "You can rest assured that even if I want to go, the king may not arrange for it. Prince Cheng has been preparing for a long time, how can I go past him? Besides, you Thinking about it carefully, is there any violation of the oath I just made? If the King of Hejian is not dead, it is probably impossible for us to enter Beijing with peace of mind, and then we can go directly to Shazhou with you. In Yongan County After the king's subordinates have practiced for a period of time, it might be time to go on an expedition to Shengzhou."

"...Then it's better to kill the King of Hejian County earlier." Li Jing finally came to his senses, and after pondering for a while, he snorted, "If he doesn't die, everyone will have to plan and plan all day long. , Uncle has been tense, always feeling a little nervous. It would be better for him to die cleanly, so that we can live in peace. I have not forgotten that he had a share of the credit for planting and framing Grandpa!! If he If you don’t die for a long time, I will take revenge!!”

Li Hui raised his eyes and looked at the snow-covered Nanshan not far away: "Uncle, it's time for you to set off." If you don't leave sooner, Mr. Zhou will be taken away soon, and it will inevitably make Hejian County King more anxious. After thinking about it for a while, it just added some doubts.

"I'm no longer your uncle." Cheng Qing couldn't help correcting him, "It's going to be difficult, and I'm not sure whether to assassinate me or continue to work as a spy. You can take the two little ladies back, it's not worth letting go." They followed me through the dangers of life and death." He rarely gave birth to some pity and pity, and sighed softly.

However, the king of Xin'an County said: "I am not their master, so I can't send them. If you meet Zixian halfway, it's not too late to tell him." A few days ago, Sun Jinniang had an affair with Sun Rong and the prince Made a fuss.If she becomes stubborn, no one will be able to dissuade her, and he, who has seen her before, will naturally not interfere easily.

"..." Cheng Qing stared at him, and said for a long time, "It turns out that I misunderstood you...as the master but suppressed by the subordinates... Tsk tsk."

Li Hui glanced at the slender figure behind him, smiled without saying a word.

A moment later, an unpretentious bullock cart wobbled onto the official road and continued the previous journey.After another half an hour, Mr. Zhou finally confessed the escape route of King Hejian and the approximate number of confidantes who came to meet him.The moment he finished listening, Li Hui closed his eyes and said to Du Chongfeng, "You don't have to force Zixian to come back earlier. Self-preservation is the best."
